There's nothing quite like the
sweet smell of fresh-cut pine and
two-stroke oil. It filled the air
Saturday at the 12th Annual Slo-
can City Logging Show.

Organizer, and competitor,
Glenn Erickson said that the
Loggers’ festival was a success
this year.

“There was a little better level
of competition this year than is
standard.” The show started in
1980, and has really taken off since
the show grounds were built four

a years later. He said the event draws

a solid quality of competitors and a
Jot of community support.

With 21 events, lightning fast
action, and non-stop movement
from event to event, Erickson said
the day was a real crowd pleaser.

“The audience doesn't get a
chance to get bored.”

For Erickson, the event is three
weeks of preparation and one day
of heavy competition. He has won
the overall title six times in the
past. To organize the show, he gets
the wood out of the bush, felling,

bucking, and hayling it himself.
Pretty good practice. He also orga-
nized the prizes and sponsors.

“Trying to organize and com-
pete takes a lot out of you.”

In terms of class, events
ranged from novice class (which
means the contestant has not won
first place in a particular event),
all the way up to Canadian anc
world championship competition.

Jack Brown-John, of Williams
Lake, won the Canadian Cham-
pionship in single buck, cutting
through the 25-inch log in 40.2
seconds. Though he works in the
logging and silviculture busi-
ness, he said he does not get the
Opportunity to train on the job.

“I train a couple of hours
every week,” said Brown-John.
There is another reason.

“This is my twentieth year
doing it.

He was prepared for the larger
logs used at the Slocan event

“T train for a little bigger log. I
pushed heavier and a little slow-
er with heavier strokes.”

Charlene Bjerg came in fourth in the
Novice Double Buck along with partner
Frank Pasowisty.
