‘ONE OF a kind. Above left to right, skip Kathie Simpson, third Kathy Hadley, sec-

ond Gail Sheasby and lead Jackie Munson provided host Terrace with its only
event winner at this year's Valentines Bonspiel, edging Weir of Kitimat 7-6.

Simpson saves day

IT’S WHY skips get paid the
big bucks.

Final end, one down and
lying one with the hammer.
Your mission — and you have
no choice but to accept it — is
to pull off a delicate bump on
the opposilian’s second shot
rock to take the deuce.

And Kathie Simpson ex-
ecuted brilliantly to take C
Event at the Ladies valentines
Bonspiel 7-6.

In doing so, Simpson, third
Kathy Hadley, second Gail
Sheasby and lead Jackie
Munson, provided the crowd
wilh the only hometown vic-
tory to cheer.

The finals had begun with
Terrace looking in good shape
with a team in every event.

The D Event was the first to
be taken away when Johanson
of Prince Rupert took full ad-
vantage of the problems being
2xperienced ‘by Faye Sparks’
quartet, winning 7-0 in four.

hopes effectively vanished in
the sixth through the un-
luckiest of circumstances.

With Skead up 3-2 and lying
one, opposing skip Liz Duri of
Smithers  underthrew her
takeout altempt leaving Skead
to throw the guard for an al-
most certain steal.

But with the rock on its way
for perfect positioning, one of
Skead’s sweepers slipped,
ourning the.rock as she fell.

That left Duri with an open
takeout which she made this
time for five.

A steal of three in the next
gave Duri an insurmountable
cushion, Skead conceding
after nine down 13-6.

Terrace hopes were alive un-
til the end in the main event
where Kim McDougall was al-
tempting to make it three con-
secutive ‘A’ titles.

Up 4-3 after four,
McDougall appeared to get a
lock on it with a trio in the
next. But she overthrew her

hammer draw in the sixth
leaving Jenny McLean - of
Prince Rupert a takeout for
three of her own.

McLean had another chance
for three in the ninth but
couldn’t pull it off this time to.
send the game into the last
tied.

There McDougall had only
to hit with her hammer to
make the haltrick but threw in-
side to pive McLean the win,
9-8.

Debbie Carruthers of Terrace
took third in ‘A’ ahead of
Karen Myer of Prince Rupert
while Penny Brown (Rupert)
and Kathy Gardiner (Terrace)
filled those spots in ‘B’,

Patti Weir of Kitimat was the
losing finalists in ‘C’, locals
Sylvia Griffilh and Nancy
Spensley taking third and
fourth,

And in ‘D’, Stephanie Weber
of Terrace finished ‘in third
ahead of Marilyn’ Wiers’ of
Kitimat. es
