Eight teams, two each from the West Kootenay and East Kootenay zones and the Lower Mainland took part. The tournament was won by Mary Hill Cobras, a Lower Mainland team, who defeated another mainland team, George Pearkes Thunderbirds 46-36, to win the title, The championship game was an interesting match- up in that Mary Hill coach Rick Thompson and George Pearkes coach Sue Thompson are husband and wife. “The tournament fea- tured some taller and more talented players than in previous years,” according to Jr. Rockettes coach Doug Pilatzke. The tournament began Friday night. The feature game saw the Jr. Rocket- tes drop a close 40-34 de- cision to Revelstoke. Revelstoke’s Kelly Kry- wa and Tammie Scholtz scored 14 points between them. For Castlegar, Leigh Helisheff scored 11 and Kim Tarasoff added eight. Against the pint-sized but speedy David Thompson crew in their second game, the Rocket- tes trailed by a single point 11-10 at halftime, but some sharp foul shooting by Karen Popoff helped the Castlegar girls edge ahead 19-17 after three quarters. The Rockettes’ tough man-to-man defense solidi- fed in the final quarter and Leigh Halisheff settled the issue with six points in the final frame. Final score was 31-23 for the Rocket- tes. In the championship round, Mary Hill advanced to the tournament final "Mary Hill takes Jr. Rockettes’ tournament with a well-earned 42-87 win over Laurie. George Pearkes slipped past Revelstoke 52-41 to earn the other berth in the Hunting dates announced Proposed opening dates for 1984/85 big game hunting seasons in B.C. have been re- leased by the Environment Minister Tony Brummett.

Frank was ré calling how on one octa- sion, as a young man, he and his pal had taken the ferry across the river one jump ahead of a member of the local constabulary who was interested in having a MMV DAVIDSON chat with them. ... didn't miss much On the next trip, when the officer got on the ferry he asked Jimmy if he had seen the two. “Don't have any idea where they are,” said Jimmy, telling the truth while neatly sidestepping the question. There must be hundreds of stories about Jimmy after those 83 years, grinned Frank. “He was a great little guy.” His birth certificate, made out in a fine copperplate hand, (it looks as if it had been done with a quill), certifies that Jimmy was born at Charters Towers, Colony of Queensland, Australia on the 12th of November, 1886. His father, James Davidson, miner, is shown to have been born in Edinburg, Midlothian, Scotland and his mother, Annie Monair Davidson, in London, Middlesex, England. Twelve days after his birth, the baby James was baptized in the Presbyterian church in Charters Towers by the Rev. W.A. Smith M.A. and like so many of those Scots Presbyterians remained a teetotaler and a pipesmoker all of his adult life. In 1906 Jimmy moved to Nelson, where he worked as a plasterer. In 1909 he met Mary Carlysle, who had just moved there with her family, from England. After a whirlwind courtship they were married in St. Saviour's Church, Nelson on Jan. 10, 1910 by the Rev. F. Graham The fact that it was a Friday, the 13th, daunted them not a wit — then or later. In 1911 the Davidsons moved to Vancouver and then to Victoria where James Carlysle Davidson their first male child, and their two daughters, Lillian and Dorothy, were born. In 1914, when World War I broke out, Jimmy joined the Canadian Scottish Regiment, a Victoria unit, and left for overseas in January, 1915 with the Canadian expedi- tionary forces, probably as a member of the pipe band. Mary moved back to Nelson to be closer to her mother when her fourth child, William, was born in April 1915. 1915. After serving in England and France, Jimmy was discharged in Nelson in 1918 by a Major J.A. Forin who indicated on his discharge papers that his conduct and character while in service had been “very good.” His description is given on that discharge paper as: age 28, complexion fair, eyes blue and height 5-feet one inch. ‘A warm and gently amusing family history entitled “This your life mom and dad” written on the occasion of the Davidson's golden wedding anniversary tells an interesting story. It is a familiar pattern of experience for many another young family during and after the war years, and is worth repeating for that reason alone. “During Dad’s army life he found a rosary on the battlefield. He saved it and since then has passed it on to his youngest grandson Jamie. When the war was over in Novenfber, 1918 Dad returned safe and sound to find an enemy battleground at home. None of the kids wanted a thing to do with him. “Four years alone with Mdm and Granny was OK, with them and they weren't going to let a strange man order them around. So Dad had a battle on his hands again. who in turn handed it down to be made into a car coat for young Jamie. Life for Mom, with Dad away, was not easy, but she kept things going and when Dad came home they set out together on a new kind of life, moving to Castle- gar, British Columbia, where Dad became the govern- ment ferryman on the first wooded three-car barge across the Columbia River from Castlegar to Robson. 1h, “phere for 82 yéars he made thousands of friends and ‘became known as “Little Jimmy” to everyone who erossed the river. “Starting with a three-car barge, he wore out four more ferries, finally getting an all steel ferry which holds 24 cars, For years he worked night and day, getting out of bed at all hours to bring a lone horse and rider, buggy, or car over, and never was anyone more willing and happy to be of service. “In the meantime, life for Mom was busy from morning to night, with four kids and a new baby born Nov. 20, 1924, named Thomas. The early years are filled with happy memories for the five kids. Mom busy cooking for five empty stomachs, and trying to save scraps for the family pet, Teddy, and later on a new puppy, Rover. “Vacations every year to Vancouver, camping in Queens Park, or down to Spokane, Washington, camping by the river. “Everyone s the trip to V where someone sneaked into the tent and stole Dad's wallet. “Secretly, thé’ kids all knew Dad went~out on the town after Mom was asleep, but no one argued with his story. “The trips over the border were filled with suspense until they passed the customs. If the men there had ever made Dad unload the numerous boxes of clothes, food and camping equipment, no one could ever have got it all packed in again. “That old Oldsmobile sure was sagging and boiling onevery hill. The kids sure hoped for a river beside every hill as they took turns running after more water to keep the car from boiling. “School de-’s for the kids were at Castlegar. Jimmy Jr. finished school and went to work at Waldie's sawmill, riding up the river on the tug Elko and helping to bring back logs for the mill. About this time, the ferry began to run 16 hours and Jimmy Jr. went to work with Dad. “Dot and Lil went on to high school in Nelson and after a few weeks of having a ball, being on their own, Mom and Dad settled that by putting them into St. Joseph's convent at Nelson. “There the Sisters soon got them down to serious studying, and upon completing a business course Lil went on to Penticton to work and Dot went into the Post Office at Castlegar and then on to Ymir to work. “Bill finished school at Castlegar and went to work in Trail for the C.M. and S. Now Tommy was the only one at home.” The “history” then goes on to tell the familiar story of a family growing up in this area their joys and sorrows, anxieties through a second world conflict and their growing up and becoming a part of the familiar fabric of a small community; of Lil marrying Wallace McConnachie in the Robson church, and the birth of the first grandson, Jack; of son Bill's marriage to Juanty Miller in Alberta; of the outbreak of World War II, in September; and of Jimmy taking up flower gardening as a hobby so successfully that “many a motorist stopped to see the beautiful tulips, gladiolias, zinnias and ‘mums’ that grew on the hillside for all to'see and admire.” It tells of James Carlysle Davidson being married to Helen McKinnon by Rev. Father O’Carrol at St. Francis Church in Grand Forks and of the youngest son, finishing school and joining the Air Force as a gunner and of Bill joining the Navy to serve on a mine sweeper and the birth of more grandchildren. In 1944, Tommy was shot down and taken prisoner in Germany only to be released by the Russians a year later and returned to a happy family. Jimmy Sr. had a couple of accidents on the ferry — once when a roll of cable fell off a truck and rolled over him, putting him in hospital for a few week; and some time later when he again spent a few days in hospital and then returned to work with ‘a lovely black eye.’ In each case he returned to work ‘as cheerful as ever.’ With the coming of 1945 and the end of the war, Bill returned to work at the smelter in Trail and Tom started work on the Brilliant Dam and then went to work at the machine shop in Tadanac. A year later he was married to Luella May Wiig by Rev. Warr in the First United Chureh in Trail. , ste SATA Ns ae as ache Hi PABA ial gi Alaa oo ua OLD AND NEW . : . Top photo taken in 1924 shows first Castlegar ferry, capable of handling three cars. Bottom photo shows ferry as it is today, with more than 10 times the capacity of the first ferry In the spring flood of 1948 the river covered the approaches and the ferry could not operate. Jimmy lost a few days but acquired some more grandchildren that year. Jimmy's fifth and last ferry, the all-steel 24-car ferry which he took over in April 1950, and the 1951 flood in which he lost two days are given two and one lines respectively though both are widely covered in the papers. Obviously the family has priority in this account. The Castle News of Jan. 12, 1950 — three-years old at this @#me and published by Les Campbell — devoted a full page editorial on its eight, 10-by-13-inch pages to the 40th wedding celebrations of two couples — Mr. and Mrs. James Davidson and Mr. And Mrs. A.T. Horswill. “Besides celebrating their 40th anniversaries,” stated the editorial, “and coming originally from the Kootenay’s Queen City, both men are public servants — whether you wish to pay a water bill or be transported across the waters of the Columbia, genial village clerk ‘Al’ or smiling Jimmy Davidson will be at your service.” For those of you who did not know him, A! Horswill had earlier operated a general grocery store at what is now Bob's Pay and Takit, and was also a master story teller. The family were well known pioneers in the area.
