PAGE § ; Reds are into final stretch The Terrace Reds streiched their record to two wins in ten games last weekend in Smithers, dropping both halves of a Sunday the Glaciers. The Reds, with only six games remaining in the regular season, are now in a fourth place tie with ‘ Moricetown and into a fight for the league's final play-off berth, The local youngsters dropped the first game 8-3 but held the ‘Glaciers to a single run in the second outing. Unfortunately the Glaciers held the Reds scoreless for a 1-0 victory. Losing pitcher in the first game -was Garry Paulson, with George Paulson picking up the second loss. It was the first start of the season for Paulson (George) who has been playing behindtheplate. , One of the reasons for the Reds loss in the first game was the hitting of Jimmy Watson. Watson dumped one homer over the lefl fleld fenve as well as jouble-header to slapping a double and a singte to leave him three for four for the game. The Reds got their runs in lwo separte innings. One of those runs was scored by Gerry Monsees who stole home when catcher Darrel Ferner dropped a piteh. In the second game the Glaciers got their lone run in the bottom of the seventh with Bobby Kester breaking 4 scoreless deadlock. Kester singled to deep center to drive in the winning run. The weekend series was-the’ first regular season play for the Reds in three weeks. Two weekends ago the team was involved in exhibition play in Ketchikan, Last weekend they were to have played Houston but the Bulkley Valley leam travelled to a tournament in Quesnel, leaving the locals idle. With only six games {o go (four against Moricetown and two against Houston) the Reds are looking to a strong finish to keep their play-off hopes alive.. Houston can be beaten Team owner Red L'Estrange, whe will continue to take a strong part in the coaching of the team told the Herald that if | fhe team puts together two : straight victories they won't be - stopped.

If you want to skate during the three week duration of the Scotty Munroe Hockey School you'll either have to join the school (for those between the ages of 9 and 18) or start praying for rain.

Every night (would be supper, ball and then a swim.” Team morale, according to the owner, is still high, mainly because the players realize they are getting experience. The team has settled down con- siderably since the early part of the season but there still are weak spots, In the infield Red pointed ta weaknesses at first base and behind the plale. The catching problem comes in on calling pitches and is the result of inexperience more than anything else. Pitching is adequate with four players - Larry, Garry and George Paulson and Gerry Monsees. Biggest weakness at the plate problem and hopefully the Reds can come up with the power al the plate necessary to win ball- games. co The Reds problems this year, their first, have been the result of many factors, among them inexperience and some plain bad breaks, Injuries have also played their part. . But don't count them out. There's still six games in which ihe Reds can make thelr move and the team is out to play ball. The team will make the play- offs and after that - well - it’s a whole new ball game. ~ Start Praying degrees, not the best weather for ice. Recreation personnel were casting glances at {he Ice surface and expecting to be faced wilh a second swimming pool. “It'll be battle enough, said rec boss Cesare Gianna, “Just keeping the hockey school in ice in face of (he weather.”’ The compressor at the Arena, designed for winter use, is certainly working though.

The season is summer, the other three being winter, spring and fall. Jon Gurban reported that the Department's summer playground program is going great guns and lillle pistols with keen involyment from the children and some excellant leadership from the eight playground leaders. He told this writer that the Department _has received a number of phone | calls fram happy parents complimenting on the program - and thanking the directors for, doing such 4 good-job. “of you're playing the numbers game," he said, “the opening of the pool hurt us a little, but that’s not what we're interested in. Quality and not quantily is the key word here.” He went on lo say thal goad programs have been developed at each of lhe four playgrounds on the list. If yau’re children are missing out on the playground fun they can just show up at playgrounds al either Cassie Hall Elementary School, Clarence Michiel Elementary, Uplands Elementary or Caledonia Senior Secondary anytime morning or afternoon Monday to Friday. There’s no cost and it’s good, clean fun. The nine to twelve year olds on the playgrounds are headed for the Hart Farm this Wednesday and Thursday and a few other fleld (rips for the various age groups involved are‘in the wind, Another program scheduled for mid-August sees a puppet show coming lo Terrace for performances on the 16th at 2:30 p.m. in Skeena Secondary and in the 19th al 10:30 a.m. al Cassie Hall Elementary. Jon wishes that some of the success of the playground would rub off on the Teen Ree '74 program that he: and .young Linda Purschke are trying to set up. The program almed at those between the ages of 13 and 16, is just banging it's head against the wall according to Mr, Gurban. He reparls a few problems: have heen en- counlered that have not yet found a solution, One was the proposed establishment of a drop-in center, coffee house type of place for the kids lo gather, Nothing has materialized as yet although the search goes on, . . Programs already golng are an afternoon ouldeor recreation stint at Skeena Secondary which features such activilies as European handball, etc, As _ well the Skeena and Caledonie gymnasiums are open evening: Pe ant ee ne ee (69 at Caledonia and 6:30 to 9:30 al Skeena) and aré aét- iracting a fair number of the younger set. Another program thal has mel with considerable success is a summer drama group that meets Wednesday evenings at Skeena. Under the able direction of up and coming young actor Gordie Sheridan, the group is designed for those between the ages of 8 and 12 years and features skits, monologues and im- provisational fun. : While in the area a short visit with acquatic director Kerry Wilson over at the pool revealed (hat acceptance and response to the new pool has been over-. whelming. The only problems have been with parking but those should be sorted out in the near future. The businessmen’s hour for fun and fitness started ona small scale Monday with a group. of men getting - acquainted with the exercise machine, Kerry doesn’t expect this program {o start going in ernest until October, after the summer slow-down. ; And while we're on the sub- ject of swimming pools it seems big plans are being made for the official opening of our own, some time in September. Jack Radford, Minister of Recreation — and Conservation and the man that approved the one third grant thal made it possible, is expected. in Terrace for the ceremonies along with a couple of divers toa show us how it should be done and possibly some: water polo players to show locals how the game can be played without swalling half the swimming pool in the process. ~ Those manning the Depart- ment of Parks and Recreation will ba more than happy to talk - 10 you about recreation In Terrace whether you have beefs, bouquets or ideas for new programs.
