bound

Pete's TV Midget Girls soft-
ball team are headed to the
provincials. They swept their
weekend best-of-three playoff
against Cranbrook 2-0 to earn
the spot as Kootenay reps at the
tournament to be held July 3 to
5 in Kamloops.

In the first game, the girls led
Cranbrook 5-0 after two
innings, and crossed the plate
five more times in the fifth to
seal the victory. Pitcher Tamara
Rezansoff struck-out nine bat-
ters in the 10-3 victory.

On the hitting side, Melanie
Samarodin led with a triple and
a single, while Christine
Evdokimoff smacked a double,
and Sherri Finch poked a pair of
singles.

In the second game Rezansoff
put together another strong
effort, fanning five Cranbrook
batters. Along with relief pitcher
Jaclyn Kalesnikoff, Cranbrook
was held to only one run.

The big inning offensively
was the second, with six runs
crossing the plate. Four of those
came on a grand-slam homer by

Winter is invading summer.

By taking the steel blades off
of his sled, and putting on six
inline rollerblade wheels, Mike
Williams is able to luge year
round.

Williams, the president of
Rossland Radicals Luge, said that
learning to luge in the summer
has one distinct ad

He said that most of the other
competitors spend $60 dollars on
their wheel bearings, where he
only spent $20. An upgrade will
be coming soon he said.

“The wheels on my sled are
considerably slower."

He said that the local support
for the tournament was encourag-
ing, and hopes that it might trans-
late locally. He is considering
sponsoring a similar event in

“You're not standing a around in
the cold waiting for your turn.”

On the winding, steep roads in
the hills above Trail, Williams
takes his summer-converted sled
and gets into shape for the winter.
Currently the number-one ranked
natural luger in B.C., Williams
said that the three to four hours
per week of summer practice is
valuable.

“It keeps you from getting
rusty, and keeps the basics there
so that when you start your rac-
ing season it's easier to pick up
and get in to top form.”

At the B.C. Provincial Cham-
pionship of Road Luge this past
weekend in Courtney, Williams
finished sixth overall, and second
in the senior men's category.

in

Though his used sled cost
$1,400, he said that cost is not a
prohibitive factor in getting
involved with the sport, His club
has four club sleds used in winter
racing, and he’s working on get-
ting a summer sled put together.

The cost of joining the club is
$10 for youths, $15 for adults,
and $30 for families.

All that is needed is the proper
equipment: boots, good leather
gloves, and a helmet.

Pool Cues

IS CHLORINE
MAKING DEMANDS
ON YOUR POOL?

Slimy or slick pool walls and/or cloudy water

| | (although water can be clear) can signal a chlorine

demand problem. A common problem during

, | Spring start-ups, high chlorine demand means your
| | pool water is unable to keep an adequate chlorine

| | level.

The most common causes are:

| | 1, Winter contamination Improperly winterized

off-season pool water exposed to air, rain and
snow becomes stagnant and collects dirt,
microbes, fertilizers and lawn chemicals. All
may contribute to high chlorine demand.

2. Low pH. Correct to proper levels because
Jow pH reduces chlorine's effectiveness.

| | 3. Low cyamuri acid. Corect levels because

Jow levels allow chlorine to evaporate.
Regardless of the cause, the most important thing is

{ | to satisfy the demand as quickty as possible. First,

check she filter to be sure it is working properly.
With the pump on, add 2-3 times the normal
amount of Bum Out®. Check the free chlorine
level every 2-3 hours. When the chlorine is low or

| | gone, repeat until the level is stable,

Sometimes, to much chlorine masquerades as a

chlorine demand problem. If you aren't sure, take a
| | water sample to your BioGuard® dealer, where a

special chlorine demand test can be done.
