(CP) — Despité having his © worst round of the tournament, Barry Evans, of Kelowna, has won the 1985'B.C. junior. men's golf championship at Gallagher's Canyon. Evans, 17, fired a five- over-par 77 in the final round Friday, but it was still good enough to give him the title by a four-shot margin over *_second-place Steve Johnston of Trail. : Evans, who had a 72-hole total of 296, eight over par, said he was surprised at how well he’ had, done. “I really hadn't played much recently,” he’ said, adding that his familiarity with the local course gave him an advantage over out- of-town golfers. Johnston had a round of 75 Friday, three over par, for a 72-hole tétal of 300.' ~< Jim Harris of Prince George made an early charge at Evans, He birdied five of the first 10 holes today to move within four strokes of Evans, but double bogeys on 12, 13 and 16 put him out of the picture. He finished Friday with an even-par 72 and wound up third, six shots back of the winner. Jamie Ivers of Richmond was the top juvenile player (16 and under). He tied for sev 308 with Doug Morgan of Victoria. ‘ee golfers who 365.2155 WANTED Vehicles of the West Kootenay __ for Special Discount Prices on Paint and Bodywork!

Funk and Wagnall A different kind of pioneer Frank Richardson died last month at Okanagan Falls, near Penticton. In contrast to his style of life but quite-in character, his passing at 74 was quiet and his Royal Canadian Legion funeral service low. key. ‘rank, was a pioneer in this community. Not: a Foxlee,. Killough, Verigin, Dumont _or . McGauley, original settler kind of pioneer, who changed the face of the original land, but a West, Davidson and Sutherland type of pioneer who are remembered for the impact of their activities and personalities in a particular area with . the community. Like other citizens working in this community, he had a number of other interests in community and business, so that his presence here, as well as that of his wife, Helen, is still a part of the community fabric. Thus, to mention a few, we have the-Castlegar Funeral Home, Helen's Flower Shop and the Castlegar Public Library — all flourishing. We have a picture of him with the 1963 town council. He was instrumental in John Charters .. . Reflections & recollections ‘poem parable: called the ‘Blind men and the Elephant.’, Perhaps you may recall it. It begins; ‘It was six men of Indostan To learning much inclined Who went to see an elephant Though all of them were blind® The poem then goes on to tell how each man, after approaching the elephant and touching a different part of its body, decided that it resembled many different things. The one for example who touched the elephant’s tusk knew at once that the elephant was-very like a spear ‘ while he who grabbed its trunk was certain that it was like a'snake. The others-were convinced in their turn that it resembled a fan, a wall, a tree and even a rope. So each was right and all were wrong. Some of my interviewees therefore recalled that when Frank attended a meeting, particularly a council. meeting, that the debate would get hot. and—heavy, with he in the midst of it. Some found him an opinionated, “fractious. and stubborn’ man, a dour, humiourless, hard-nosed, pugnacious James Cagney of a man, difficult to know, more difficult to-understand. Others, or even the same persons in a second breath called him a public-spirited man, an intelligent, farsighted entrepreneur, an initiator of a man, an essential yeast in the ed dough of ity lethargy. Still others, those who knew him best, perhaps, said that he was a man who set goals for himself, and usually achieved them, one who had little patience with himself but infinite patience with others; a man courageous in the rij of his own rij but still a kind and bringing the first bakery (Dutch-Maid) to C: and was in partnership in an early taxi service. When he moved to the Okanagan in 1963 he initiated other enterprises there. When he died, Iwas honored in ‘being asked by his daughter Lynn Gould, to give the eulogy at his funeral, and did so. Since this column attempts, not only to remind us of some of the work of its various pioneer citizens, but to reflect some of the characteristics which made them special people as well as pioneers, I have asked for and received permission to print the eulogy on the passing of Frank Richardson, both for those who knew him and others. “Your reverence, comrades, friends. “Today we comé together to bid farewell to a man, Helen, Lynn, family, legion in-one,for-certain! —Richardson-was-a-complex-and- paradoxical ‘man. Thus, — speaking to a number of people, some of whom knew him well, and some only slightly, I was reminded of a favorite compassionate man. He was a man, all agreed, 'who could be counted on: a worthy man for whom life was real and life was earnest, yet one who possessed a rich, dry sense of humour, as I on more than one occasion had cause to remember when I was watching his face instead of his eyes. He was very much the family man, and he was strongly supportive of his wife, Helen, both in their marriage and in any worthy project they undertook together in common, and they undertook many things in common. I recall him, as I am sure do many others, as an old fashioned gentleman of a man, protective of his word and reputation, jealous of his honor. He was blessed, also with a great energy and a lust for life, and above all, he was always ~a true, loyal and enduring friend. —And@ this-brings me to a second favorite poem, and one which I feel catches the essential spirit of the man, Frank Richardson. It is the poem, ‘Ulysses’, by Alfred Lord Tennyson and I would like to dedicate it to his« memory. In the poem, Upysses, leader of the Greeks in the Trojan wars-and king of Ithica, having survived, by his skill as a strategist, his wisdom and his courage, the sack of Troy and the ten years of dangerous journies’ which followed he returned at last to Ithica. But he is getting old and the responsibilities of ruling this rocky and savage land sit heavily upon him and he sits contem- plating. his brief future. ‘I read in part: I am Yet all Gleams that untraveled world, whose margin fades’ For ever and. for .ever when I move. How dull it is to pause, to make an end, To rust unburnished, not to shine in use! As though to breathe were life! Life piled on life Were all to little, and of one tome _ * Little remains: but every hour"iS saved Come my friends Tis not too late to seek a newer world. Push off, and sitting well in order smite The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths Of all the western stars, until I die. Though much is taken, much abides; and though We are not now that strength which old days Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,— One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made’ weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find and not to yield. Frank, like the blind men’s elephant, refused to be classified and pigeonholed, for he was ever his own man. Like Tennyson's Ulysses, he grew old only in body, never in spirit, and so left us with a legacy which will not die. In a word, as one grandson so succinctly phrased it, “He was unique.” that I have met; Life and Death are one s One final word. Last night, after I had written this ' address, I visited the studio that Frank had built for Helen and in which both had worked with such obvious pleasure. I was, and am, profoundly impressed by the symbolism with which both have filled the place — far too complex and varied to describe here — but two things must be said: In no place have I been made so aware that life aoe death are not seperate: but are one, and a ming an it Secondly, I left convinced that Fran Frank and Helen w continue what they have begun there so that in truth some work of noble note will yet be done.
