ALL PROCEEDS TO COMMUNITY SERVICES Located at West Kootenay Power & Light compound, Columbia Ave., Castlegar The eighth annual Silver Pom Pom Bonspiel took on a family affair atmosphere as siblings, spouses and in-laws shared in this year’s hardware. Seventy-six teams, from throughout the Kootenays, the Okanagan and Alberta, took part in the three-day bonspiel that Was held at the Rossland, Beaver Valley and the Trail curling clubs. But when it was all said and done, two Trail rinks emerged with the top honours. The Ladies A event final pro- vided the most drama as Gerry Brown picked up two points in the 10th end to edge Jamie Benedetti of Nelson 5-4. Brown's second Pom Pom title didn’t come without some nailbiting in the eighth end as her last rock failed to score and Benedetti stole one to take a 4-3 lead. "It was just inches off,” said Brown. However, after blanking the ninth end, Brown got a chance to redeem herself in the 10th as her first shot managed to hahg in for one point and gave her the Opportunity to win it all with a draw to the button on her final Tock. "That first rock was a big ne,” she said. “It went around (Benedetti’s) first rock and Stayed in.” Even has Brown threw her final rock, she immediately turned her back and went to pick up her gloves without watching her eventual winning shot. "I knew it felt good. But I thought ‘whatever happens hap- ns."” It proved to be quite a day for the Brown clan as Gerry teamed up with Wendy Brown and Eileen Holm and Diana Keraiff for the winning foursome. There was more good news for the Browns as Rick Brown held off a late rally by Castle- gar’s Bill Perehudoff to claim the C event title on the men’s side. Tronically, the men’s A event title also went to a family rink. Skip Brian LeMoel teamed up with brother Dennis and inlaws Norm and Barrie Mackie, to defeat Kevin Oliver 8-4. In winning his second Pom Pom title, LeMoel jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first end which set the tone for the game. "That gave us a big advan- tage,” he said. "We hit for most of the game and kept the ice clean.” Oliver, who was the A event finalist last year, was in the hunt throughout the game as he answered LeMoel opening end three with two points of his own in the second. But in the eighth end as he was attempting to draw around LeMoel’s guard, Oliver got a piece of LeMoel’s rock send- ing his rock out of the house while LeMoel looked at a two- point end that gave him a 7-4 lead. LeMoel said his team narrow- ly escaped a couple of other games before reaching the final. a et et it co, a a | HEY! SPICEY SENORITAS 1 AND DASHING SENORS BANJO'S PRESENTS GO MEXICO WEDNESDAYS OLE!
