On Monday evening we played bocce at the
Legion and afterwards I attended a meeting of the
Rossland Warriors executive at the arena. My
reason for attending was the fact I have recently
completed a history of the Warriors and have the
quoted cost of putting it into booklet form, so it
may be sold at Warrior games this coming season.
The executive agreed that is should be done and
will endeavor to find a couple of sponsors to help
out with the cost. .Of course, it will be available
around town for anyone who wishes to read it and
will have as many pictures of teams and players of
other years as there is room for.
I also learned that despite lean times, the
executive bas named a coach and full executive to
deal with whatever the team faces this season.
Costs are naturally going to rise, but it is felt that
with careful management we should be able to see
the season through. Entry fees to the league are up
this year, but the people I talked to feel we will be
able to enjoy the Rossland Warriors again this
season.
Named to the executive for the coming season
are Bob Zanussi as president, Bill Profill as vicepresident, Sandra Edwards will be the secretary
and Darryl Wallis the treasurer.
In charge of our team this season will be coach
and general manager Bob Whitlock. I heard
previously Bob was not keen . on staying with
hockey this year, but something must have
changed his mind. This comer fet!ls that Bob is
definitely the man for the job and I hope be bas a
successful and enjoyable season. The idea of
amalgamating with some other center does not
appeal to the elected board and that is something
we can understand. Let's get out there fOI' every
game and show the world, at least the Kootenays,
that Rossland belongs in the Kootenay Jn.
ternational Junior Hockey League.
In league business I have learned that Spokane
Flames will be back 'in the West Division this
season. This is a team that is always competitive
and will definitely be an asset to our division.

Now to golf for a while. This week
arrangements were made to utilize the upper
course for extra activity. The B.C. Seniors
championships being held this week at Bircbbank
and Castlegar which prevented scheduling the
ladies and the retirees from their regular day's
activity at the lower course. Consequently they
were routed to the upper course. A unique
arrangement was worked out by the retirees who
play the upper course on Tuesday, which saw them
start out at 7 a.m. and the ladies came on at 8 a.m.,
until they were satisfied around 9:30 when the
balance of the retirees could start.
,
All went along well and we were all home for
lunch by 1 p.m. On Thursday of this week the
Bircbbank retirees, who will lose their tee times at
their usual spot, will join us at the upper course
and our bunch will get an extra day of competition.
I won't go beyond that because I'm not sure of the
arrangement, but Joe BleW and Matt Mattson will
be in charge.

The winners this week, which saw a golfers
out on a really great day were, Bill Vickers in low
gross with a 43, Bill Woodburn took low net with 33
and Ernie Primeau took the long drive on no. 1. In
bingo, bango, bongo it was Bill Dobbs, John Piva
and Jim Scott who came out on top. We also had
some fine scores from a couple of threesomes who
did not qualify in bingo, bango, bongo competition.
