Regarding retirees golf,
it has been a real pleasure
to work with the guys who
have come forward to help
run this season's program
and I want to thank one and
all for their efforts.
Yesterday, we were out on
the course around 8 a.m.
and had a nice time. Larry
Lavigne came over from
Summerland and wanted
someone to go out with him
on the course, whea, he
first started to play the
game. Bud Hachey and I
went out with him and
listened to all his glowing
stories of the courses he
plays in the glorious

Okanagan. However, he
still thinks the Rossland
course is a real challenge.
•Over on the curling front,
I didn't get up to see the
guy from Hinton, Alta.,
who was sharpening our
rocks at the rink, but I did
hear some glowing reports
of his work. I think I must
have been the. only guy on
the club who did not find
time to get up there. I don't
hear much from the
committee, which was
formed to try ·to run the
curling for us this winter. I
beard they had not met yet
to make any decisions. We
should get some word in the
very near future.
The Warriors have now
played three pre-season
exhibitions and have yet to
~ defeat Sunday afternoon, at the Arena, they

battled the Spokane
Flames in the early going,
got behind two goals and
then took charge. It wasn't
long until the Flames were
just a flicker as the snappy
and long passing attack of
the home team clicked
repeatedly and they poured
in the goals.
In the two home games
so far, almost everyone in
the line-up has shown the
ability to put the puck in
the net On Friday night it
was Gordie Stanton getting
a ha~trick while Rob
Porcellato and Garnett
Compton notched two each
in the 11-2 romp over the
Nite-Hawks. Sunday, it was
Rod Deibert with three and
Dallas Drake with two, who
sparked the attack against
theFlames.
One feature of the pre-

season thus far has been
the relentless body-work
shown by all the boys on the
team. The boys seem to be
able to use the boards to
great advantage and their
long passes have been
clicking consistently. Lloyd
McLellan has four goalies
on hand, all who have
shown some good .moves.
That will be one area that
will need some thought
before a decision is made.
The two additions to the
defence, Patrick Corrado
and Tom Feeney, have
shown themselves to be
willing mixers and can
both handle the puck well.
Dallas Drake and Troy
DeJorig have shown a lot of
desire around the op-

position net They wt1l
score a lot of points in tlie
season ahead.
Both the games we hate-:
seen have been · well~
handled from an offlciatl#g'
angle. From what we ha~l
seen so far, we would
appear to be headed for .a
pretty promising season
from everyone.

I haven't seen a schedule
so far so I can't say when
it's going to start but it
can't be too soon for me.
Turning to another
subject for a moment,
Dennis Hirons, our Legior1
darts major-domo, tells me
he has a program lined up
for the club this winter and
I shall be able to fill in th&
details for you next week. .
