On Saturday evening at the Rou1and Arena, the
· Warriors went on one of their biggest scoring
rampages of the season against a team that was
· definitely outclassed. Beaver Valley Nite Hawks
haven't had too much going for them
far this
: season and one would like to wish them a better
• ·shake as the season approaches the halfway mark.
: They have some excellent skaten and stick ban: dlers but they seem to lack the drive needed to
finish some of their plays. When playing the
; Warriors you have to do that because thole are the
• times they pick up the play, bring it down into the
: opposition end and, bingo! You are behind, yet
: another goal.
.
I also ran into an old acquaintance from days
: gone by as Luigi Bertuzzi - from the days when I
: regularly followed the girls softball teams - was
: sitting at the next table in the lounge. He was the co: manager of the Beaver Valley girls team at that
'. time. I'll never forget the trip we made to the
. provincial championships in Kamloops when the
: Rossland and district girls beat all comers to
: emerge as champions of the province in their
: category.
.
I'm sorry to say that Luigi didn't have as much
· to celebrate last Saturday as we did in Kamloops. It
: seems he still keeps busy with his Martenizing
• business in Trail and commutes back and forth to
: his home in Fruitvale. It was good to see you, Luigi!
: Take care and all the best!
This coming Saturday we shall hold another
: seniors pool tournament at the Rossland Legion.
: This one will be masterminded by that world11
: acclaimed continental cyclist, Rossland's own Jack
: Hook. This tournament is proving to be quite a
: drawing card at the branch and we are all looking
: forward to a repeat performance in this one. We
: know you won't let us down, Jack!
.
:
While on the subject of events upcoming at the
~ Legin in Rossland, we have a Grey Cup brunch
. between 11 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. downstairs and we
shall be able to watch on two TV's upstairs after this
is over. The game starts at 1:30 p.m. on Nov. 30. At
this time we don't know the teams in the final but if
B.C. is to get in this time they face a stem task this
weekend and it will be quite a tumaroWld if they
make it. Edmonton and Toronto are certainly the
ods on favorites to enjoy the balmy temperatures of
. B.C. Place. Actually B.C. should be up in Edmonton
all this week getting themselves used to thole cold
days which they may very well have to put up with
this weekend It could very well be a factor in
:' whether they get into the final or not.
Back to the Warriors for a moment. They face
quite a weekend as they take on the two big clubs
from the East Kootenay. Though they may take
some consolation from the fact Spokane has taken
· the measure of both the Rockies and the Colts in
· recent games and taken over top spot in the East.
'
Now to bring you up to date on Retirees Curling
. in Rossland. I will give you all the standings to date
• including Tuesday's games.
Incidentally, Angus tells me we are no longer
; Retirees, we are now Masters. All it costs us is $4
each and look what prestige we shall gain. Four
""' bucks isn't that much to pay for a title like that, just
think, we have been raised from just common
Retirees to a title like a Masters Club. Well some of
us tried to live up to it today. Our crew won one after
two straight setbacks and are now at 2-2 after four
games. We topped Fred Munro and his boys.
Freddie dropped to 1-3. Russ Broughton leads the
pack with W. Bert Morrow is alsQ unbeaten with 30, the rest are strung out behind Phil Bateman is at
2-2, Jake Lilburn is 2-1, Dan Burnett has 1-2 as is

Carl Seefeldt and Angus Popplewell. Bob Stevenson
· has yet to win one. On Thursday we sball pass the
halfway mark in the first competition. The wall of
the lounge is packed with notices of bonspiels to
come so it looks like a busy year for curlers coming
up.
So, until next time, then!
