CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, October 5, 1978 local Tennis Club Facilities ~ ‘Best in the Kootenays’ ,, By LORI FRIESAN With the completion of the lighting at the Castlegar tennis courts, Castlegar retains its position as having the finest , tennis facilities in the Koote- "" nays. Club president Laurie Lyons stated “with the tre- mendous effort put forth by tennis club members and the co-operation tendered by area businesses, the lighting system is as fine as any.” Singled out for special thanks were CanCel, West Kootenay Power and Light, Boundary Industries and the City of Castlegar. Lyons said that individ was especially mentioned for his efforts, The 40-ft. poles were do- nated by CanCel; Boundary Industries freely granted its oxpertine and West Kootenay ines i d deserving special recognition for their efforts in behalf of the lighting system were local MLA Chris D'Arcy, CanCel executive and the West Koote- nay line personnel, Club em- ployee Herman Kemperman their time to assist in the wiring. The lighting system was supplied by Gough Elec- trie, Area residents are invited to continue to use the facilities through the fall and will have the opportunity to buy club Injuries Cut in Half By Eye Protectors Eye injuries to amateur hockey players have been re- duced by 50 per cent last ts season, due to the increased use : of eye protectors according to :: Dr. Tom Pashby, a Toronto : opthalmologist and chairman of * the Canadian Standards Asso- ciation (CSA) committee on : face protectors for ice. hockey : and box lacrosse players. During the 77-78 season there were 53 eye injuries compared to 98 the previous year. Eight players were medi- cally blinded, while 12 were blinded the year before. ‘ “None of these players _ were wearing face protectors,” explains Dr. Pashby. “I have only received one reported eye injury to a player wearing a mash and that eye recovered almost normal vision, The change in this year's statistics is the age group. ‘ “For instance, the young- est player to be blinded was 19 years old and most were in their mid-20s. This is because the younger players are having to wear masks but the older ones still are not wearing them. These figures certainly support the need for face protectors. Out of 53 injuries, only one player was under 11 years of age. The vast majority occur- red to people over 20 years. Although the stick still remains the major cause of injuries, this figure has dropped sharply due to the Canadian Amateur Hock- ey Association’s (CAHA) high sticking rule. The puck is now becoming the major cause of eye injuries.

CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, October 5, 1978 [ If God Went on Strike | It's sure a good thing God above has never gone on strike, Because He wasn't treated fair or for things He didn't like. If He had ever once sat down and said “That's it—I'm through T've had enough of those on earth so this is what I'll do. T'll give my orders to the sun—cut off their heat supply, And to the moon—give no more light, and run those oceans dry. Then just to make it tough and put the pressure on, Turn off the air and oxygen till every breath is gone, Men say they want a better deal, and. so on strike they go. But what a deal we've given God to Whom so much we owe! We don't care whom we hurt or harm to gain the things we like, But what a mess we'd all be in if God should go on atrikel ~ {SOBEL MORRIS «+ grand chief Author Unknown ANNUAL FALL SALE CONTINUES!
