@ Martini leads the way
with 10 medals in the
pool for the West
Kootenay Zone team

The Kootenay Cocoons blos-
somed into beautiful butter-
flies at the B.C. Seniors Games
last week.

Perhaps carrying the pretti-
est colors of them all on the
Zone 6 team was Castlegar
swimmer Dorothy - Martini
who was, in fact, a perfect 10.

That’s a perfect 10 as in one
gold, six silver and three
bronze medals at the fourth
annual Games in Coquitlam
from Sept. 4 to 8.

In total, the 16-member
swim team, who dubbed
themselves the Kootenay
Cocoons (after the motion pic-
ture Cocoon), won 53 medals
(seven gold, 20 silver and 26
bronze) at the Games.

“It was above and beyond
all expectations,” said seniors
sine club co-coach Norma

“I thought they’d win a few
(medals) but gee, they just
really outshone everybody.”

Competing in the 60-64
age category, Martini set a
Games record in the 25-
metre backstroke, while the

They bagged them in bagpip-
ing, biking and badminton.

They grabbed them in golf and
they snagged them in slo-pitch
and snooker.

Seniors from across the West
Kootenay filled their suitcases full
of medals at the B.C. Seniors
Games in Coquitlam from Sept. 4-
8.

While the swimmers led the
way with a haul of 53, the 118-
member Zone 6 teams had its
best-ever performance at the
Games picking up 76 medals.

“I think we had 31 medals last

year, 80 it’s really jumped,” said
Zone 6 coordinator Lola Turick.
“We really, really did well. We're
very, very pleased.”

Best ever showing for local seniors

Raymond and John Moran were
the Castlegar connection on the
silver medal winning slo-pitch
team.

Zone 6 owned the biking events
at the Games as Jack Tees of Slo-
can, Roland Anderson and
Matilde Klassen of Nelson, and
Helen Bourchier of Rossland

Zone 6 also got a silver medal in
snooker and a bronze in women’s
badminton.

Registration at the Games was
up 25 per cent this year as some
2,000. athletes from 12 zones
across the province competed.

“Everybody's trying to do
something wonderful, but
we're also trying to finish
the damn races,” a smiling
Martini said Tuesday.

Martini wasn’t alone in
doing something wonderful
as multi-medal perfor-
mances were turned in by
Chuck Wools of Fruitvale
who won seven, and Gus
Conacher of Montrose and

Bill De Klerk of Nelson, who
won six each.

Martini said the Kootenay
Cocoons, in their matching
suits and caps, were the life
of the Games party.

“We had more fun I'll tell
you. We cheered louder than
any team down there.”

And her family were
cheering pretty loud when
she got home to a
congratulations party
complete with balloons and
banners.

“T phoned (a relative) from
Penticton and I guess she
passed the word on.”

The 16-member swim
team, which held weekly
practices at the Castlegar
Aquatic Centre, had nine
Castlegar members, inc-
luding organizer Bill Van
Yzerloo, who won five
medals himself.
