CASTLEGARNEWS, Thursday, February §, 1078 Pensioners Curling Club Notes Brand New Ball Game By John Dalziel The final results of the second round robin are now in and tabulated, Dalziel did man- Age to come out on top, but it was in question right up to the final week, The Dalziel rink managed to gather 17 points out of a possible 22, Second standing was shared by three rinks; Brown, Carkner and Verzuh each with 14, followed by Bradford and Woytella who had 12, Then came Lyons with 11, Wilson and 10 and Wadey with 8 Filling out the list were LeRoy and Murphy with 7 and Jacob- son with 6, Believe me, the difference in points fs no indication of the calibre of the play throughout. this competition. While there was the odd runaway, most of the games were close, some not being declded until last rock. Now it is a brand new ball game and everyone starts back from scratch. Everything is drawn from the hat 80 ay. Luck does play a large part in whatever the suteome may be, . Boy! Have I an a head- ache!? Here I was, my column in for the week, I thought, sitting pretty with nothing to do but curl the rest of the week. ‘That was up until about five to ten this morning, Tuesday, When I arrived at the rink I found not one but two new members in attendance and not ‘one vacancy in which to place them, This called for extreme measures and a short meeting was held. Instead of the 11° rinks we were going with for the third round robin it was “ decided to go back to 12 rinks with our old friend Andy Honcher as the new skip. The rinks will be made up and the draw rearranged fol- lowing tomorrow's, (Wednes- day's) curling, There may be a couple of vacancies on the 12 rinks but this will be better than having men, especially new ey member psituing. around with no chance of a game. After all the name of our game is participation, not anticipation, Asa result of all this mixup the games played last Wednes- day and Thursday and the ones played today and tomorrow, Tuesday and Wednesday, will not count. Charge them up to * experience boys and let's hope things will not be back to normal. The new rink personnel and the games should be in next. week's paper—we hope, New boys who will be with us for the closing weeks of the season are Leo Bosse, Bill Naylor and Al Richards, Wel- come to the club fellows and we all hope that you get as much kick out of our murning” ses: sions as the rest of us do, It was sure good to see Lloyd Mc- Adam sitting behind the glass this morning. Lloyd has sure had a rough time of it since he had that tough go a while back and the fact that he is now able to get around a bit is good news for all his many friends, Another practice game was held last Sunday morning between the two rinks who hope to carry the Pensioners’ colors in the zone playdowns, Again that old wizard of the draw, Perey Brown, and his Maddock "SHOES THAT MAKE AN IMPRESSION* FOR SAVAGE SHOES AND ALL YOUR FAMILY FOOTWEAR Phone 365-7025 — Pine St. — ees, Perfume Cologne Crystal Records Purses Watches Cameras OP MO OO OR OR OO 5 Tommy Biln boys took the measure of Dalziel and his bunch, How- ever, it was not the runaway the first game between them was..

None of the fatalities oc- curred in B.C., though there were some close calls, said A. A. Faulkner, superintendent, Canadian Pacific Investigation Department, Pacific Region, 'o far this year the record has pan fairly clean in most areas of B.C.,.” said Mr. Faulk- ner.

C. Machan, “With proper In a setting of yellow and white estors and green and white candles, Tracy Lee Koznulk exchanged marriage vows with Vince Antignani before Rev, Ulirick at St. Anthony's Catholic Church in Trail on October 18, The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs, John Koznuik and the groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs, Vincenzo Antignani, both Castlegar families. Escorted down the aisle of the church by her father, the bride wore a gown of white chantilly lace, the bodice featur- ing full sheer sleeves fastened with snaps at the cuffs. Hand- embroidered sequin roses trim- med the neckline, sleeves and train of the dress, A_ headdress of pearled white forget-me-nots and lilies secured her shoulder-length veil and she carried a bouquet. of red roses and baby's breath, entwined with pearl, rosary beads. Asister of the groom, Miss Rosa Antignani of Castlegar, was the maid of honor, and Miss Brenda Cowlin of Castlegar was bridesmaid, Both attendants wore floor-length gowns of lime green Fortrel, styled with empire waistlines tying at the back, and short puffy sleeves trimmed with chantilly lace. ‘Their bouquets were com- prised of yellow and white astors, green fern and baby's breath. Attending the groom were Mr. Antonio De Rosa of Castle- gar as best man and Mr. Ralph Tassone of Castlegar as usher. Decorations in the recep- tion hall of the Terra Nova Motor Inn in Trail carried out the green and white wedding Designed With dies such as th: averted,” To help spread better understanding of “safety and the railways", Chief Machan's inspectors will pay personal visits to snowmobile and sports clubs upon request, conducting group discussions and demon- strations, In addition to working closely with snowmobile clubs, railway constables conduct reg- ular patrols along rail lines to prevent potentially dangerous ‘trespassing by snowmobile op- erators, “Anyone stopped for tres- passing violations will be pro- secuted,” Chief. Machan warns. Section 359 of the Railway ld be Act provides for a maximum. $20 fine to trespassers on railway property. The act also provides a maximum $100 fine to operators of any vehicle on railway property without the railway's permission. The most common explan- ation for snowmobile-train ac- cidents is that noise from a snowmobile’s engine drowns out the sound of an approaching train. co “In most fatal incidents, the snowmobiler is either struck from the side or from behind, without any awareness of the train's presence,” adds Chief Machan. “A long and heavy freight train could not possibly stop in time to prevent a collision." : Aside from the personal danger to snowmobilers, oper- ating the machines along the tracks creates serious hazards for the railway and its passen- gers. Travelling in groups, the drivers often illegally cross the rails and pack down snow. Ice forming as a result can cause derailments. Equally dangerous, snow- mobiles following the railbed can accidentally slice wires that. control switches, or trigger automatic railway signalling systems, thereby causing train delays. According to Statistics Ca- nada, approximately 20 per cent of all snowmobile aceidents occur on private property. The largest portion of those killed are between 16 and 19 years of Be. a In addition to the snow-* mobile program, CP Rail con- stables will be visiting thou- sands of school children across the country during the year to show films and give demonstra- tions of proper safety pro- cedures. ‘RUBBER STAMPS CASTLEGAR NEWS Phone 365-7266 191 Columbia Ave. Outer Chamb theme in flowora and hearts for the occasion, gold-trimmed lace table- eloth covered the bride's table on which stood the three-tier wedding cake, iced in pale green and white and decorated with cupids and hearts, Long twisting pillars separated the tlers, and a miniature bride and groom adorned the top layer.
