Terrace council has asked the Parks and Recreation advisory commission to put togelher a proposal dealing with those and other questions for presentation to Kitimat. Second sheet supported ASSURED THERE are no financial strings attached at this stage, the city has given the Second Sheet of Ice society a show of sup- port. Dave Dediluke hed explained to council’s recreation committee that there were a number of issues involved in the proposed pro- ject that couldn’t be tackled without input from the city. These included the design of the facility, operating agreements, taising money and sponsorship issues. Emphasizing the society was not asking the city for any money, he said the society would be chasing corporate donations and a grant under the federal- provincial infrastructure program. However, those efforts would not. suceed unless there was a show of municipal support for the Proje ect. a Chevron Jrs. CHEVRON JUNIORS came up just one game short at this year's fastpitch provincial championships. One of seven teams laking part In the double-knockout tourney in Prince George, Chevron opened their bid with a nailbiter. With Dave. Penny on the mound, the team found them- selves in a tight battle with Chil- liwack, eventual champions. Chevron jumped out early, driv- ing in four in the bottom of the first and forcing Chilliwack to go to the bullpen immediately. Chilliwack, however, clawed their way back to a lead which prompted the Juniors to send Brad Neufeld in to relieve Penny. Chevron tied it up again, send- ing another Chilliwack pitcher to the bench, but couldn’t prevent the lower mainlanders from pick- ing up the counter they needed: Chilliwack 9; Chevron 8. Backs to the wall, Chevron went up against Abbotsford, Neufeld and Penny switched starter-reliever roles this time and their..mound. work. plus. tight defence and a fence clearer by Bruce Neid powered Chevron to a 10-7 win. Sunday found Chevron facing back-to-back games if they were come close to march to the championship. First siep on that trail was an impressive one, Chris Davis’ in- side the park homer leading a four-run blitz of the TH-K (Vic- toria) reliever. That proved to be enough as Chevron advanced on a 4-0 shutout. , The win brought the Terracites up against last year’s champions, Victoria Money Mart and this time. the shutout shoe was on the other foot as Money Mart cruised to a 9-0 win and berth in the final against Chilliwack. With the double knockout format and having lost one al- ready, Money Mart needed to take two straight to sew up the title. And it looked good for a long way. Winning the first. game, ’ Victoria held the edge in the rub- ber right through to the sixth when a Chilliwack four-bagger stole (he title from Money Mart" 's grasp, The loss proved an expensive one, Thal’s because although the top two teams both qualify for the nationals In St. Catherines, Oat., the second placed team has to pay its own way, Chevron finished the provin- cials in third place.
