At the Rossland curling club this weekend, you
will be able to watch the Rossland Annual Winter
Wonderland Ladies' Bonspiel. H you enjoy watching
the game of curling this is for you plus something
you can enjoy among beautiful decorations, all done
by the members of the host club. This will definitely
be one of the bigbligbts of the weekend.
Then the Rouland So-fest bas quite a number of
events slated for the same time period - I imagine
the organizers will go all out to bold their own
against the stiff competition they will get form all
over. I would say the people in charge will have a
program available for everyone. All in all, it should
be quite a weekend around Rossland. .
While on the subject of curling in the ladies'
area, Beryl Davis bas passed along the results of
the Orwell Cup Trophy play. Marg Rosse with her
rink of Mary Vickers third, Mary Bruce second and
lead Tina Drake, beat Dorothy Fines foursome of
Dottie Albo third, Dorothy Lilburn second and lead
Thelma Cowland. This will be followed by the play
for the Hayden-Capalbo trophy and I understand
when this is completed the girls go into inter-club
competition in the form of a mini-spiel to wind down
their season.
The teams in the Retirees' Club will be getting
changed for their final run about the week after nm
so I'll save that until nm week. They wind down
towards the end of March, the same as the ladies do.
H you read what I said about the Warriors last
week - bow I felt they would have to be in top form
to handle the Junior Smokies in the playoffs - last
Saturday night's game at the arena spelled it out
loud and clear. Coming back from a 3-1 deficit, they
saw their hopes of victory evaporate as Danny
DiVito got a goal in the first minute of overtime to
get a victory for Trail. The whole game was played
with feelings on both sides running high. If this
continues on through the playoff season the
Rossland arena will be seeing the best crowds for
quite a number of seasons. There are two balanced
teams and the winner of that series could very
eaisly meet the eastern winners.
I got word from a source Dallas Drake will be
playing on the B.C. team in the upcoming Canada
Games tournament in Cape Breton, N.S.
Congratulations Dallas on a job well done.
And now a final note. I got word yesterday from
Doug Johnson in Trail that a mutual friend bas
passed on recently - a gent who used to live in
Rossland in the old Catholic Church above the
highway on Davis Street. Bill 1.ebroff will be
remembered by quite a number of the Rossland
sporting fraternity of the day. Bill liked to gamble,
play the horses in Spokane and enjoyed his beer. He
will be remembered.
So, until nm time, then!
