This year the Northmen recognized Annie “Passion Flower’ Dodd for nearly three decades of help and devotion to the team. “This trophy is presented each year to an individual who has shown a consistent and unwavering devotion to the club,” said Masler of Ceremonies David Hull. “That was the contribution Brian gave to the club and Sports Scope Oct, 19 at the Terrace Hotel.

For that the club is truly thankful.” Dedd accepted the award from Marianne Kormendy to a standing ovation, The ‘‘on ficid’’ awards we presented by acting presi- dent Leon Schulte and Hull. “In a year where at times the on-field play was suspect and we didn’t come away wilh the league title there were still shining stars,’’ Schulte said. The Most Valuable Player trophy was presented to player coach Graham Bayles. ‘Bayles continued to lead by example and in a game where ihere was a shortage of experienced players, Bayles = even managed to cover two or three positions at the same time, and rather effective- ly,” said Schulte. Kevin’ Letawske was named the 1997 Most Im- proved Player. Letawske finished his university edu- cation in the class and on the field this spring and looks forward to many years with the Northmen. ‘Kevin improved with every game he played and showed a‘nat- ural ‘ability to play very ef- fectively in any position as- signed ta him,’’ Hull said. The Rookie of the Year award went to one of the brightest rising stars in the Northmen ranks, Mike Homeniuk. In his first year of senior mens’ rugby and with only one year of Under-19 rugby, Homenuik has dominated in line-outs as a spectacular jumper and is. very fast and. aggressive in open field play. The Northmen also added a new award to the list this year. With the continuing success of the Under-19 program an MVP (under 19) award was added. Keri Makela was lauded with that trophy. Makela has cap- tained the U19 squad and the Zone Seven Sunutier Games team for two years. The Northmen are taking a well-deserved hiatus from Rugby for a few months and will resume the next season with indoor training in March.

Our Terrace Bluebacks Swim Club splashed back into action last week. And if early numbers are any in- dication this is going to be a good year. Their first meet is coming up fast, the Methanex In- vitational in Kitimat Oct. 18, so they don’t have much time to prepare. But coach Mike Carlyle says it will still be a good time. '*Kitimat has an electronic timing system,’’ he notes. “The kids always enjoy that.” While registration in Car- lyle’s older group is good this year, the numbers of younger swimmers is down. “Our novice program is really slow,’? Carlyle says. “It’s disappointing because we have a great novice coach. The kids all love her. They have such a good time they don’t even realize they’re learning stuff.”’ It’s never too late to regis- ter, so Carlyle says he hopes that now the pool’s open again more youths will get signed up. Novice Blueback swim- mers can siart as early as age six, and Carlyle points out that competition is not stressed at that level. “They start with easy, fun stuff,” he says. “‘But it gives them some good back- ground and helps them build sportsmanship and a strong team feeling.” The novice coach, Joan Moldenhauer, used to be a Bineback herself, sa she knows all about the club, In fact, all the assistant coaches this year are former Blueback swimmers. ‘It’s pretty neat to sec it go full-circle like that,” Carlyle says, Curling Club gears up THE CURLING Club is now taking registrations for league play. Organizers say players wanting to curl this season are welcome and will be placed ona team. Play gets underway Oct. 14.
