INCREASED INTERFERENCE
Goalies find it rough

mid-December, that the first mutterings of discontent were
heard from National Hockey League goaltenders.

Goaltenders, you see, have a history of being a strange
lot and their complaints tend to be ignored — the argument
being something about too many shots to the head.

This time, however, the goaltenders are right. —
watching the last half of the NHL regular season
probably agree it's becoming open season on eaters,

Seldom does a game go by without the goaltenders
being upended in their crease by opposing players.

“I find a lot of guys are going to the net more,” said
Minnesota netminder Don Beaupre. “I think they go to the
net with the purpose of interfering.”

Often the bumps come at the most opportune time.

“There must have been at least 20 times this year Grant

said Edmonton goaltender Andy Moog. “In the past, this

goal was disallowed.

LET ITGO

“Now the referees let it go, they turn their heads,”
added Moog. “Players are free to go crashing into the
goaltender . . . the referees seem to ignore it.”

Puhr, while acknowledging there's a problem, says he
hasn't noticed an increase in such activity. Then again, he's

Is is possible that New York Islanders goaltender Billy

for wielding the heavy stick, was right all along in saying he
was merely protecting his space?

Fishing Report

The showing of flying ants marks a definite improve-
ment in fishing for the mammoth Gerrard Rainbow native to
Kootenay Lake. The Dolly Varden run is on the decline now
which is typical when rainbow run commences. A few more
days are all that is needed before rainbow fishing improves.

Woodbury Resort reports six large rainbow last week
and lucky anglers who weighed in at the Jones Boys Marine
boathouse were:

Elvin Webber from Orem, Utah, 20'/:-pound rainbow;
Kieth Harink from Brooks, Alta., 10-pound, and 21% pound

GRANNY'S

ISON RECALLS

EARLY DAYS

Editor's note: following is the second in a series on
Gwen " y Sabi: on of C ‘s early
settlers.

Four sons were born te Gwen and Charlie Sablstrom
Carl im 1922, Olaf in 1924, Bob in 1934 and Greg in 1998.

“Mother.” Greg recalls, “treated all children as
important, and her daughters in law she treated as her
own. And there was always room at the table for one
mere person.”
The friendships that she made with the Doukhobor
om. the Pictins, the Kalesnikoffs, the Plotaikoffs and

the Philipoffs, strengthened during the “hungry “30s,”
and lasted a lifetime.

At Granny Sabistrom’s funeral, Bob Sahistrom. on
behalf of himself and bis brothers, Greg and Cart,
delivered the eulogy to a crowded assembly of mourners.
It is written straight from the heart and is, therefore, a
good place to start to capture the spirit and character of
this pioneer woman.

He says:

“Sixty-five 0 oon ago Gwen was a beautiful young
mother with her long curly brown hair and the same
gentle smile we, who were privileged to know her, loved
to this day. In April 1921 she cradled Cari in her arms in a
little two-room frame house that Charlie moved to the
homestead on the road he was buiiding to his pole camp
up Blueberry Creek. Two and a half years later Olaf
arrived and the two boys were her joy and company when
Dad was away pole cutting or trapping on his
Champion-China-Blueberry Creek trapline in winter.

“In 1924 they moved to a little log house on the new
homestead at the foot of the mountain they called Horab
because the water spring gushed from it. Later they
moved to the home where she lived until her death.

“Mother was Carl's and Olaf's teacher for the first
three years of their schooling. Mom always rose early to
light the fires, give the boys a hot breakfast, and send
them off to the little one room school 2'% miles away in
Blueberry. Carl remembers looking back at the yellow
lamp-light shining over the snow as they trudged away
from the cozy warmth of Mom's home on cold winter
mornings and the welcome smell of fresh baking as they
returned at night.

“When Cari had to go to war in 1942, Mom prayed
steabiay for him. She gave him a Bible to be his eomfort.
He remembers reading it a lot in his homesickness and
while recovering from bronchial pneumonia. We
remember the fear in Mom's eyes the night we sat around
the radio and listened to war news of the Japanese
landing on Kiska. We remember also, the shining joy on
her face when Carl came home on leave.

“We remember the birthday parties she made for
Greg and me. and her cold raspberry juice served with
cookies to our playmates all summer. She had a lifelong
wiaienry of to of treating children as she treated all adults who

aS eee: + (from lett) Aunt Swanson, Miss Marshall,
Granny Charlie Sahistrom circa 1917-18.

visited the home. All children received food and drink and
love. We remember how every friend we brought home
had cookies and milk and a piece of honey candy to chew
as they ran back home before dark:

“We remember Mom coaxing us to bed with a
bedtime candy and her sitting by the coal oil lamp to read
us stories and a Bible portion each winter night as we lay
tucked in bed. We remember her always busy keeping
bees, cows, and chickens and selling honey, cream, and
eggs to help us live on Dad's $20-a-month old age pension
when he was ill for so long.

“We remember when she cut off the end of her
thumb while splitting wood. She was a real pioneer. We
remember how with a single shot .22 rifle she killed the
chicken thief owl on the top of the barn. We remember
her making bees-wax candles to put on the Christmas
tree and the smell of eardamon in her delicious Swedish
Christmas ‘Smo-bread’. We never heard her say an angry
or unkind word about anyone, and, when we told of some
juicy she pursed her lips and went busily to work
in the kitchen. The gossip was never repeated.

“We remember how she nursed us when we were
sick, consoled us when we were sad, encouraged us in
everything we did and praised us with shining eyes when
we did—well,but never criticized, and only patiently
reproved us with a sad look when we were bad. She gave
of herself without ever asking anything in return, and did
without for her family’s sake. She never permitted
herself to be sick in bed so that she couldn't serve her
family.

“She loved to go anywhere and everywhere the
family went. Dad loved to stay home, but Mom loved to

go out. We knew this and took her with us, but she would
ask wistfully: “Are you sure you want to drag an old
thing like me along with you?”

‘We remember her playing the piano by coat oil lamp
while Dad played accordian and we sang. and later we
remember coming home from “tom-catting” to find the
lamp turned low, cookies and thermos on the table and
note saying: “I hope you had a good time. Have
something to eat before you go to bed. Love Mom.”

“The infamous stories about mothers-in-law were not
part of our family. All the girls we brought home were
welcomed and loved. The wives soon learned to love Mom
in return, and to be good wives under her gentle
guidance. Each son lived with his new wife, and mother
for a time in serenity and love.

“Mom loved company! Her great joy was serving
coffee, tea, raspberry juice; -apple- pie, cookies, fried
chicken or strawberries and cream to visitors. She never
could do enough to show her guests how happy she was to
have company. Last fall she still baked the best apple pie
in BG. {eb stenite. ton “Wile peojeties in this respect,

workers on the new church. The special memorial (a
stained glass window) in her name at the church will be a
fitting tribute to her interest in the new church.”
