I
When someone mentioned the other day that
games in the KIJHL are
going to be pretty exciting
fare for the hockey faithful
in Trail and Rossland, they
weren't whistling Dixie.
In the game I watched in
RossJand, the excellent
goaltending of Steve
McIntyre in the Rossland
net and of Bob Gardiner in
the Trail citadel were
really something to watch.
I'm sure on the goal which
was the ultimate winner,
McIntyre's vision was
blocked, possibly by one of
• his own players.
Four quick goals by Trail
early in the first period
made it appear this was
going to be a ho-hum affair,
but the Warriors came
back and tied the score
early in the third. The
Warriors held an edge in
the play towards the end
thanks to a couple of
penalties to the Trail team
but couldn't put the puck
past Gardiner. Yes, I'd like
to say we can stand a lot
more like this one!
Last Tuesday was the
windup of the Retirees Golf
at the Upper Course. It was
a fine way · to finish
something that has really
been fun for a whole lot of
people. There were 41 out
on the course but due to
frost we weren't able to get
started until 10 a.m. The
guys who wanted to had the
special retirees breakfast
before going out but some
preferred to wait until they
had finished.
Debbie cooked me a few
mushrooms I had picked
out on the course the
previous day. Munro said
he wouldn't accept
responsibility for what
might happen to me after
eating them. However,

having picked lots oftnen,
in days gone by I didn't
worry too much about that.
The thing about being up in
the 70s, is not too much
worries you by this time.
Now, the winners were,
low gross, Rick Watkinson
with a 38, low net was
Noland Garrison with 32, in
the honey-pot points, three
for birdie, two for par and
one for bogey, Roger
McKeown amassed 14
points to win that one. In
bidden hole competition it
was low on No. 8 where Bob
Glover and Emil Kwasney
each had fours and in
bidden hole high on No. 3
Harold Dixon soared to an
eight.

When the retirees curling

club took over the course
on Oct. 1 we got a nasty
surprise, the rope tow on
No. 5 has once more been
put out of action. To say
this is a run-of-the-mill
breakdown would be
wrong. This was a
deliberate act of vandalism
by someone wielding a
heavy club, may be a
seven-iron. One has to ask
why, but the answers will
not be easy to find.
Two notes from Branch
No. 14. Legion darts
commenced Oct. 3 and will
continue on that basis. It is
open to anyone interested.
There will be $2 entry fee
and prizes every week. See
Dennis Hirons for further
information.

And from Jim Schuck,
there will be a presentation
by Spokane's Airway
Heights Branch to the Trail
Pipe Band on Oct. 12 at 11
a.m. in Branch No. 11. It
wil take the form of a
plaque and everyone is
welcome to attend.
And in closing, news has
come along that a young
Rossland man, Kevin
Anderson, is touring in
Europe, expounding on the
art of body-building. Kevin
is the holder of a number of
awards in this field and last
year bis picture was
featured in The Times when
he was named "Mr. B.C."
in one of the youth
categories.
So, 'til next week then!
