«2 Castlegar News December 20, 1987 Nazaroff nets eight points By CasNews Staff Bill Nazaroff scored a total of eight points for Hi Arrow in their 10-2 whitewash of Sandman Inn in Castlegar Recreation Hockey League play Thursday night at the Community Complex. Sandman took the early lead with just over a minute gone in the first period. Don Savinkoff converted a pass from Bill Cheveldave and Dave MacKinnon. The period ended in a 1-1 tie as Nazaroff scored the first of his three goals on a pass from Wayne Kinakin. Hi Arrow took the lead in the second frame and never looked back as George Rob- erts put one past Sandman netminder John Obetkoff on on a play from Randy Martin and Nazaroff. As well as scoring a hattrick, Nazaroff assisted on five goals. Nazaroff got his second goal of the game from Frank Costa with just over 13 minutes gone in the second stanza. Doug Makortoff got Hi Arrow’s last goal of the second on a play set up by Stacy Molnar and Nazaroff. sandman got the final goal of the second period — and their final goal of the game — from Rick Shukin. Don Sav. inkoff and Chris Brodman got the helpers. Everything went downhill from there for Sandman as Hi Arrow racked up six un- answered goals in the third period. Kinakin opened the scoring early in the final period for Hi Arrow on a goal set up by Nazaroff and Rod Zavaduk. Zavaduk then potted Hi Arrow’s sixth goal of the match with assists from George Roberts and Costa. Martin continued the Hi Arrow steamroller when he fired a shot past Obetkoff on a play set up by Nazaroff and Kinakin with just under 10 minutes to go in the final period. Makortoff got his second of the game to make it 8.2 for Hi Arrow on a play from Naz- aroff with 4:41 remaining in the third. Nazaroff got his hattrick with less than four minutes remaining in the game set up by Molnar and Costa. Costa got the final goal of the game to complete Hi Arrow’s rout of Sandman. Martin and Rod Zavaduk got the assists. Dan Wallace played a good game in net for Hi Arrow allowing only two goals. COUNTRY ON ICE . . . Nelson businessman Howi Hornby signs autographs while a player for the in Sweden. Trail Smoke Eaters in the 1963 world championship “HORNBY FEATURED IN BOOK Hockey — it's Canada’s than that, it has touched virtually every Canadian with its mystery and magic, according to a recently-published book Country on Ice, by Doug Beardsley. Three Kootenay residents are included in Beard- national game. But more sley's ination of Canada's to hockey. Nelson businessman Howie Hornby appears in four photographs which date from his amateur hockey career. Hornby played centre for the Nelson Maple Leafs from 1966 to 1968, and also joined the Trail Smoke Eaters for a world championship competition in Sweden. Hornby, like Beardsley and thousands of Canadian is, grew up on outdoor hockey rinks and later played organized hockey. Country on Ice also deals with the kids who went on to the big time, NHL stars like the Rocket, the Flower, Gretzky and Lemieux. In the chapter Women in Hockey, Brenda Herbison of Argenta and Katherine Chapman of Kaslo talk about their more recently acquired passion for hockey. They both play recreational hockey in Kaslo. “It’s good for my character,” Herbison says in the book. “To take the puck and skate down the ice with it, you have to have a certain confidence.” Beardsley’s lively book is laced with anecdotes, legends and his own insights. He leads readers through the world of hockey, from shinny on the pond to Gretzky on the fly, from hockey’s roots to the big business of the NHL. Country on Ice is published by Polestar Press, of Winlaw, and is available in local bookstores. The author appeared for three days on CBC's Morningside this week.

Savings Up to 50” NFL a puzzle as confusion reigns By The As usual at this time of year in the NFL, it's confusion that reigns. More pieces could be fitted into the annual playoff puzzle this weekend. Presently 15 teams are in contention for the one remaining playoff spot in the National Con- ference and for all five spots in the American Conference. Washington, which has clinched the Eastern Division; Chicago, the Central winner; San Francisco and New Orleans, either as Western winner or as a wild-card entry, are the NFC teams in the playoffs. Today's games will have Pittsburgh at Houston, Cleveland at Los Angeles Raiders, New England at Buffalo, Seattle at Chicago, Minnesota at Detroit, St. Louis at Tampa Bay; Indianapolis at San Diégo, New Orleans at Cincinnati, Washington at'Miami at night, Philadelphia at the Jets and Atlanta at San Francisco. Dallas plays at the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night. at Oilers Steelers Houston, 7-6, beat the 8-5 Steelers 23-3 in their first meeting this year and can clinch its first winning season since 1980 with a sweep. Pittsburgh can win its first AFC Central title since 1984 by winning Sunday and against the Cleveland Browns the following week. Browns at Raiders Cleveland, tied for first with the Steelers, appears in good position to snap an eight-game losing streak to the Raiders and stay alive for the AFC Central title. Patriots at Bills Buffalo also will be trying to snap a jinx against a particular team. New England has 10 straight wins over the Bills, who are seeking their first AFC East title since 1980. Seahawks at Bears Seattle, challenging for the NFC Central title, runs into a club that was embarrassed 41-0 by San Francisco last Monday night. Vikings at Lions The Vikings, coming off an upset loss, will be meeting a Detroit team that is coming off only its third win of the year. Seniors' draw ends By JOHN DALZIEL Games in the second draw are now finished and, once again no rink had a perfect 16-point score. One rink came right down to the last game but didn’t quite make it. Rinks have been drawn for the third competition and there could be quite a num- ber of cliff hangers. The first week's play starts on Monday this week so as to finish a full day before Christmas. Two-game winners last week were: Mills, Archam- bault and Dalziel. One game won by: Buffett, Walker, Verzuh, Bradford, Molnar, Culley, Flynn, Leckie, Obed- koff, Waterman and McGilli vray. Two ties between Me- Gauley and Obedkoff and Walker and Frost serve to show just how keen and tight some of the games have been. This week's draw is as follows: 9:30 a.m. Monday — Mc- Gillivray vs Leckie; Culley vs Rust; Crossley vs Walker; Buffett vs Verzuh. 1 p.m. Monday — Heagy vs Dalziel; McGauley vs Walk- er; Burak vs Frost; Flynn vs Mills. 9:30 a.m. Tuesday — Wat- erman vs Rust; Obedkoff vs Leckie; Clay vs Bradford; McGillivray vs Bate. 1 p.m. Tuesday — Culley vs Verzuh; Buffett vs Frost; Crossley vs Walker; Me- Gauley vs Burak. Pensioners curling will start in 1988 Jan. 5 at the usual 9:30 time. Since this will be my last report of the year I would like to wish all my readers, curlers and non-curlers a very Merry Christmas and a Healthy and Happy New Year.

Bob Cratchit and Ser overa Christmas bowl of ‘smoking bishop.’ John Charters... Reflections & recollections CHARTER'S FAMILY CHRISTMAS Judy Campbell showed me a family birthday card the other day — silver edged and horse-shoe shaped. Nothing unusual — ‘until you look at the inscription. It reads: “September 18, 1887" — just a fraction over 100 years ago. As usual, this triggered a flood of associations: My mother’s birthday was in December, 1887 and she was born in Newcastle-on-lyne, near the Scottish border across which, as I remember her saying, “they harried (raided), carrying off the sheep, the cattle and the maidens”, (and a lot of another's customs. One of these was the celebration of Hogmanay (New War's) instead of Christmas, the symbolic “first-footing”, and the welcoming of the Dark Man across the threshold at midnight with food and hearty libations of good Scotch whiskey. Her Scottish father always served cheese at this festive season. Not just any cheese, but a carefully selected Stilton. He would cut out the centre, pour in a bottle of good port wine, cover it carefully and put it in the cellar until the year’s end. By the time the festive season had rolled around the cheese would be well populated with ‘skippers’ (cheese mites) and grandfather would offer-it with pride — but never to my mother. Good eating, of course, makes one think of good food, and none loved to dwell more on good food than a contemporary of grandfather's, Charles Dickens, author of the most famous Christmas stoty, A Christmas Carol, and my favorite of all. Remember the description of the Ghost of Christmas Present sitting on the top of a throne of “turkeys, geese, game, , brawn, great joints of meat, suckling pigs, long wreaths of sausages, mince-pies, plum-puddings, barrels of oysters, red-hot chestnuts, cherry cheeked apples, oranges, luscious immense twelfth-cakes, and seething bowls of punch that made the chamber dim with their delicious steam"? This was how Dickens envisioned Christmas in his time and not how it often was in reality in the midst of the Industrial Revolution in Victorian England. Oliver Cromwell”s Puritans had outlawed the celebration in mid-17th century, and while his govern- ment only endured for a scant dozen years, Puritanism lasted much longer. In consequence, many people did not get a holiday at Christmas and Scrooge's complaint about Bob Cratehit’s request for a day off was by no means extraordinary for an employer of the time. Nonetheless, Dickens detested the concept of all work and no play, and loved the Christmas celebration as it was observed in the more rural areas of the country, with its feastings and frolic and great steaming bowls of hot punch; above all the hot punch — the very essence of good fellowhip and good cheer. Remember the vision of Scrooge's youthful self and the fun of the Fezziwig ball, or the completely renewed Serooge at the end of the story who insists that he and his clerk talk of a new life for the Cratchits over a bowl of smoking bishop, or of Mr. Pickwick and his friends at Manor Farm, sitting down by “a huge fire of blazing logs to a substantial supper and a mighty bow! of wassail, something smaller than an ordinary wash-house copper {caldron) in which the hot apples were hissing and boiling”? Since these punches were central to the Dickensian Christmas celebrations, it followed that their public preparation was an essential part of their enjoyment. A member of the company, preferably one skilled in the art — as was Dickens — would carry out the preparations with appropriate ceremony: peeling the lemons, grating the nutmeg, roasting the apples or oranges and heating the wine, brand, fireplace. id is and comes from the Hindustani “pounchi”, meaning “five” — for the five basic ingredients in a punch — sugar, interested would like to offer a couple of them: CHARLES DICKEN’S OWN PUNCH 1 quart of boiling water 1 pint old rum 1 or 2 large wineglasses of brandy Put rind, spirits and sugar into a warm basin and set fire to spirits by lighting a small quantity in a heated spoon and pouring in. Burn 8 or 4 minutes, stirring occasionally then covering the bow! with a tray. Add juice of 8 lemons and a quart of boiling. Stir, cover for 5 minutes, stir again and taste: add more sugar if desired. Pour all into a large jug, tie thick*cloth over the top to exclude air and keep warm till brought to table in a punch bowl. BISHOP This is another modern version of the old formula. Stick the cloves into the orange. Put the orange in a dish and roast in a 350 deg. oven until the orange is brown. Cut it into 6 pieces and. discard the seeds. Heat the port, but don't allow it to boil. Sweeten to taste and add the orange pieces. Continue to heat the wine for about 10 minutes. Strain and serve. (Serves 6) er er That's the trouble with associations, they tend to lead one down alll sorts of byways. I had really intended writing about Christmas cards, but that will have to wait for another Incidentally, what has happened to all of those old fashioned cards with their pictures of Christmas tables and plum puddings and Christmas crackers, not to mention Nativity scenes? So many of the symbols of the feast have gone — the creches with the animals and shepherds, the Christmas pudding with brandy sauce and the wax-paper wrapped coins and rings foretelling one's future; the popping of the crackers, the crazy hats, goofy riddles and prizes ? Are they all gone too? Thank heaven for the Nelson Choral Society and Handel's Messiah. In any case — a merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year to all of my valiant readers. I have just had a call from Kathy Armstrong of to tell me that the Graphic Arts class at Selkirk College will be working on my book of collected columns to be called Over My Shoulder. They start a three-week frenzy of editing, layout and design in January. I have much to do, therefore, in final preparation for the next several weeks. This space will of necessity be blank unless John Munday writes beforehand. PP ea ree e SMALL BUSINESS . . . IS IT FOR YOU?
