On Wednesday evening last, the Rossland
Legion pool club took on a group from Northport's
White Bird Tavern and the outcome was quite
· decisive, as the Rossland crew took the tourney by
an 8-3 margin. The winners for Rossland were Carl
Seefeldt, Gary Seefeldt, Jim Schuck, Sammy
Manson, Bert Pengelly, Rob Harrasin, Al Stinson
and Jamie Richardson. On the Northport crew the
winners were Moe Gilbert, Joe Letoria and Clyde
Nyman. This is an ongoing event as the Legion crew
makes periodic visits to the taverns in Northport to
play on their home tables.
Bert Pengelly passed along the information that
a local tournament will be held in the Rossland
Legion on Sunday, June 22. So any of you guys who
fancy yourselves with a pool cue, drop by and sign
up for it. You'll get first class treatment all round.
Legion members only.
This is the season of the year when we hold grad
parties for the kids whose days in high school are
over and we can only hope that this year's event will
see nothing worse happen to our kids than painting a
few "Grad '86" signs around town. I heard a·rwnor
that this year's party will be held in Northport.
Don't know how true this is, but I sure hope it turns
out alright if it is.
I ran into an old friend the other day. "Whiz"
Topliff has been under the weather for some time
past, but he was walking around the other day and
tells me he does quite a lot of it. Outside of a bit of a
limp, he doesn't look too bad. So, Whiz, just take
care and we wish you a real good recovery so that
you may continue fishing the lakes and streams of
the Kootenays.
I see where our "Kardiac Kids" won the battle
over Dennis Ferrey's aggregation of elder citizens
and Dennis promises to change that all around at
their next meeting. We can only say, you'd better be
on your toes, this group doesn't fool around. The got
the habit of winning some time ago and if I know
those "kids," they don't take losing very easily.
The Ro.<1Sland Bocce group, which has its
headquarters at the local Legion, are underway for
their 1986 season and things seems to be going very
well. I shall try to give you some standings as soon
as a pattern develops. Lots of teams playing and
quite a list of spares, so we look forward to another
season to match the others.
Retirees' Day at the upper course on Tuesday,
June 10 was a locely day again. I didn't hear anyone
complain of the heat and yet there wasn't a cloud in
the sky. The breeze was just enough to keep it
comfortable. We had low net, low gross, closest to
the pin on number five, and two hidden holes.
Number six was the high one and number two
the low. When everything was tallied up, Jim Scott
had won the low gross with a sparkling 43 in low net
and Bob Glover and Joe O'Connor both came out
with 35's. Chris Christianson took KP on number
five for the second week in a row with a shot that
was five feet from the pin, and then three-putted.
High on number six saw four tied at eight and Wilf
Woodhouse won the draw. Three were at four for
low on number two andBoger McKeown WM lucky
on the draw.
Talking to come people close to the Warriors
over the last couple of days we hear the rates have
been raised by the KIJHL. The proposal could make
it very difficult for some hard-pressed teams to
operate. More on this when I've heard the whole
story.
So, I'll just say,
'Till next time, then!
