PEE-WEES - continued from page Ve Cassiar met Whitehorse Hougens on Saturday for the first game and our boys easily won the game 3-1 despite the lack of competition experience compared to the Whitehorse teams. The Cassiar goals were scored in order, by Manley Guarducci, Johnny Sethen and Pat Moth. Sunday morning our team met Whitehorse Conde (proba- bly the strongest local team) for the semi- finals. Goal Scorer - Manley Guarducci In this game we had some problems with the strange. behavior of the arena time clock and the referee. However, we managed to end the game with a-3-2 win. Our scores were by Joey George, Manley : -Guarducci and Pat Moth. By 12:30 on Sunday everybody was ready for the big final game, even the Cassiar “Cowbell”. This time our boys. decided to give some excitement to their parents, coaches and fans, so they let the White- horse Hougens score four unanswered goals. With “tive Minutes to go and a massive score of 0-4 nobody had any hope left except our players naturally. WORLD CUP EXPERIENCE~WHITEHORSE - By Jay Dahlgren. The word was to expect a top caliber turn out for the races, all the Fins, Swedes, Norwegians and Europeans should be there along with any Russians who were in con- tention for the world cup honors. As part of the Karhu-Titan-Swix technical group it was possible to move around freely among the staff, coaches, athletes and meet organizers. We were free to ski the ‘Test’ track up to two hours prior to the races. It was icy but fast, ademanding 15 km. for both men and women. Who to look for? Alexander Zavialov of the U.S.S.R. cap- tured the 1980-81 World Cup Cross Country Champion- ship, joining the Russian female skier, Raisa Smetanina, as among the best in the world. ~ A highlight of the 15 km. event for Canada was Pierre Harvey of Rimouski, Quebec. Formerly a cyclist turned ski racer, he finished in fifth place in a field of 56 skiers, beating Zavialov. Harvey’s time was the best showing by a Canadian male ever. The top five positions went to European skiers in the women’s 15 km. Canada placed five women in the top 20 in a field of 44. In sixth and seventh place were Shirley and Sharon Firth of Inuvik, N.W.T. We were pleased and proud to see competitive young wo- men and men with a very positive attitude, highly motiv- ated by the opportunity to race against world class talent. In cross-country skiing it is hard to excel all of a sudden. ‘It takes years to build up, often training, travelling and racing alone. The world cup races gave Canadians an op- portunity to observe the style and technique of real mas- ters. But again | realized just how much skiers, like other Canadian athletes, need the encouragement and support at all levels — from school and community programs to the national and international teams. SUPPORT AMATEUR SPORTS AND CANADIAN ATHLETES. At this time our Pee-Wees decided to quit blam- ing each other for the Whitehorse goals and put their act together, Manley scored the first goal, soon followed by Brydon Giesbrecht with the second. Now the kids asked their coaches Eric and Brian to have the power line on the ice. Two minutes to go. Manley scored the third goal right away. Most of the people in the arena were now jumping up and down screaming and cheering for our team. With less than a minute to go Pat Moth stole the puck and scored a beautiful goal. It was 4-4 now. Pat Moth having a well earned rest Unfortunately Cassiar managed to get a penalty so the regular time ended with a tie score and our team short handed- = When the overtime, started, shortly after, the ~players were determined they easily managed to get by until they resumed the full ranks and then shortly after the penalty. was over Manley again . finally scored the winning goal; assisted by Pat.

Thanks to John Gwilliam and his crew for giving us the best ice we've had in many years. We would like to thank the hard working Bonspiel committee; Chairman Bill Pratt, Bubs Crossley, Marie Penno,Bill Nymeyer, Marilyn McCauley and Margaret Voss A job well done. Joyce Beal and her assistant cooks did an excellent job keeping the stomachs from growling. “What do you think we should do, Abigail?” Lorne (alias Abigail) Armstrong sold more beer and liquor than a topless barmaid at a salesman’s convention. Mind you, he had some good help. He even had a fellow who was selling beer at a special price — 1 for 1 dollar, 2 for $2.50 and with some success, | might add. Thanks to the Pratts for breeding, feeding and taking | care of the ice worms. Terrible looking creatures! When Norm swallowed one, his tapeworm died of a heart attack, Thanks also to Walter Comper for his artwork, Gladys Dowgray and her sister Irene from Keewatin ( where the heck that is) for their beautiful dogteam. Thanks to Jim Milne and Bob McCauley for their carpentry, Lil Kamlah for her sing-a-long, Chris Tates, Marty and Don Fugere for their excellent music. Thanks to Snap; Crackle, Pop and little Passing wind (you can’t print ‘‘fart”” in a family newspaper) for their _ breakfast: aye . The green pancakes from Periard went over well, but after a few drinks of asbestos squeezings you eat anything. ' Verna, Bubs’ and’ Glad deserve praise for thinking of ie Original theme. Special thanks to Bubs and Gladys for planning and organising all the off-ice entertainment. (Management please note off-ice not office) and last but not least Bill Pratt for co-ordinating the whole and taking care of the one thousand and one details. Thanks to Cecile for all the worrying she did. Of course we must remember our star players in the play “The shooting of Dan McGrew”. Barb Riordan (who by the way spent many hours putting up red tablecloths), Stan Deyo, Frank Nitti, Glad Dowgray, Bill Pratt, Scott Smith, Marvel Nitti; Bill Nymeyer, Lorne Armstrong and narrator Ed Thirlwell. The play was well presented even if the miner lost his poke and produced a slider, even if one of the barmaids ended: up on the keyboard of the piano instead of on top of the piano, even if one of the male players, whowas sup- posed to how! like a wolf, couldn’t as an iceworm was crawling his way back up and got caught in his throat, even if one of the players got fresh with one of the bar- maids instead of just “cuddling up.” Bubs Crossley did a wonderful job as producer, direct- or and stage manager and the redhead will sure be missed when she goes to Hollywood. : Thanks ‘to Bonspiel Bobbies ( is it spelled with one or two 0's?) ‘They sure kept the law and order and Helen Bill- _ ingsley, Margaret Voss, Betty Carter, Betty Cavanaugh and Marilyn McCauley were a sight for sore ever: Let’s not for- get his judgeship Glen Billingsley, Peter Jones, Stefan Dyk and Paul Clark were charged with sexual discrimination, Pat Edlund with attempted rape of the Judge, JUDGE NOT LEST YE BE JUDGED Frank Nitti was charged with clasping Helen’s right upper protrusion and playing with Betty’s left sit down Part, All pleaded not guilty and trial will be held when Christmas and Easter fall in the same week.
