8 - Trail Times - Friday, August •

Wherever one goes in this
area these days you hear
comments on the fortunes of
our Little League kids and
sometimes the comments
are not always kind.
It seems to me because we
have had so much success
recently every Little League
team from Trail must win.
However, as anyone who has
ever taken part in organized
.• sport knows, you win some
'• and you lose some.
The job done with these
kids over the past few years
is unbelievable. The way
they have responded to the
• train ing regimens of
·• manager Andy Bilesky is
►• forever a credit to the kids
and the coaching staff.
This time around the going
has been tough and the ball
hasn't always 'bounced
Trail's way but regardless of
what they do from here on in
we should be proud of this
, bunch of kids. They are our
ambassadors of sport.
In Creston this weekend
the championships of the
·• Kootenay Soccer League will
be contested.
••
Kimberley will face
'• Nelson in one semi-final
while the Rossland Labatts
go up against Cranbrook in
, the other.
:The Labatts, coming off a
big win over Castlegar to
:; advance, have had a comparatively good season this
year and have given the
Rovers some excellent
competition, in two games
that I can recall they tied
Cranbrook 0-0 in Rossland
• and lost one on penalty kicks
in Cranbrook.
Nelson, whom Rossland
•. had a winning percentage

weather now and golf is a
real good way to take advantage of it.
The Lions Club of
Rossland held a steak
barbecue at their newlyerected shelter at the Lions
Park at Black Bear recently.
It was well attended and
before it got started an
impromptu meeting was
called and a summary of
work to be done with the
money now on hand was laid
out by park committee
chairman
Maurice
MacArthur and bis members, Alfie Albo and Bill
Profili.
Paving of the roads around
the park was named as one
of the top projects while

lary

general maintenance of the
area will be also looked
after. Removal of some of
the tables in the tent sites,
which are now heavily
overgrown in some cases,
will be done.
The tables will be taken
and placed on the lawn
in the area between the
roads in and out for more
convenience for campers
using the area.
The evening was taken up
with the members of the club
an~ their wives and-or
girlfriends dining on steaks,
steamed spuds and salad
prepared by head chef Gord
Phillips. After digesting the
food a bonfire was started in
the midfield area and we sat
and enjoyed the flames and

an occasional beer until
quite late. Everyone agreed
that we should bold more of
the same.
Up at the Legion, meanwhile, plans are being
studied and offered for
tender for the proposed
extension to the clubrooms.
Thirty feet is to be added at
the rear of the premises and
tenders will be called at 3
p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 25. ·
A party honoring Carl
Osing's 32 years as a
member of the Legion
executive will be held Sept. 4
with baron of beef supper
and dancing till?
Carl's rather remarkable
record started back in 1950
and be has served many
offices en route to bis 32

years.
On the national scene, the
Expos are hanging in there
but are still several games
out of first place. The trouble
seems to be that the teams
they have to get ahead of to
win are playing as well or a
little better than they are.
The Lions after a
smashing start to their
season have de'Veloped all
kinds of problems and now
have sunk into a tie with the
Eskimos for fourth place..
They started out sacking
opposing quarterbacks like
you wouldn't believe. Now
the shoe is on the other foot
and Dewalt and Paopao are
taking the brunt of it. Did
someone say, "What else is
new?"

The Labatts, coming off a
big win over castlegar to
advance, have had a comparatively good season this
year and have given the
Rovers some excellent

• that I can recall they tied
•· Cranbrook 0-0 in Rossland
~· and lost one on penalty kicks
in Cranbrook.
Nelson, whom Rossland
•. had a winning percentage
• against this season, go
• against the Athletics from
Kimberley who are always
tough at · playoff time. I
really don't think the playoff
site means that much since
• Creston is only an hour or so
drive from Nelson and
Rossland and about the
same from Cranbrook and
Kimberley.
Creston,
.•• qevertheless, is considered
part of the East Kootenay in
its SP(lrts affiliation.

Heavy dew greeted 32
golfer.3 on Tuesday at the
upper course as the retirees
got together for their weekly
outing. However, it turned
out to be a beautiful day and
• we had a shot at Bingo,
• Bango, Bongo, low net and
,one ball went to the most
honest golfer.
Tim Jenkin and Russ
Broughton presided over the
day's activities and Matt
Mattson came out on top of
the BBB with 11 points.
Archie McCannell followed
with 10. In low net it was Mac
McDonald with a 23 (Mac's
handicap should come down
next week). Lew Freeman
came in with a 32 tied with
Harold Dixon. Bob Walley
followed with a 33 and Harry
Simpkinson was the most
honest.
People to run next week's
show have not been named
as yet but I imagine someone
will come forward to get the
show on the road. Looks like
we are in for a spell of good
