Make mine
a Standard!

LOSE TOO MANY games at any bonspiel
and it’s guaranteed you won't be taking any
prizes home.

Not so at this year’s Loggers Bonspicl,
April 7-11.

Your team can lose five straight games this
time and: each member still drive home in a
brand new‘car. |

. And your team only has to make ONE shot
. tach to make that happen!

How can that be?

Easy: the Terrace Standard is sponsoring
Spiel for Wheels.

_ How does it work?

~ All four members of the team get to throw
one rock and all they have to do is cover the
‘pin holé in the centre of the button with part
of the running surface of the stone.

Do that, and you all go home with a new
car!

Incidentally, there’s no sweeping allowed
so it’s the coldest draw you're ever going to
be asked to make.

Okay, so that’s a toughie, but there’s more.
“Assume the first three rocks are on target
and you're left depending on a skip who’s
notorious for choking on the clutch shots,

’ It doesn’t matter! The three of you have al-
‘ready won a car and he’s just shooting for his
own vehicle,

Only two shots cover the pin hole? You’ve
just won yourselves $1,000 and there’ s still a

_ chance for a car.

Each of the successful shooters gets another
rock to throw and if either repeats the feat,

they both get a new set of wheels.

And even if only ene of your players suc-
ceeds at his first attempt, there’s money to be
won. He'll be given two more shots and if ei-
ther covers the hole, hell pick up a cheque

- for $500.
The Terrace Standard Spiel for Wheels

will take place during the traditional Satur- .

day afternoon break from round-the-clock
curling and is open to any rink i in the Log-
gers.

But take note: the rink that enters the Spiel
Jor Wheels must be made up of the same four
‘players entered in the Loggers - in other
words, no ‘“‘select”’ foursomes are allowed.

- There will be a designated referee on hand
for the event and his/her decision will, of
course, be final.

bonspiel and/or to register, call the curling

Top spot in this year’s Legion Open Bonsplel
went to Smithers’ Glen Baker rink, bul it was only
by a hair.

The hair in question was the one George Kozak’s
tenth erid hammer shot found as he attempted a
through-the-port chip for the game.

It was a cruel elimax to what had at times been a

wild one.

Home town hope Kozak appearcd to have the ‘A’
event final sewn up when he put together’a four-
ender to open a gaping 7-1 lead.

However, Baker was far from ready to concede.
Cashing in on mistakes by Kozak’s crew, Baker im-
mediately struck back with a five,

In the tight battle that followed, the Smithers
quartet managed to squecze anolher point to send
the teams into the final end tied at seven.

The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, February 10, 1993 - Page B7

A hairy experience for Kozaks

shot on his first rock, Kozak followed the same
path to push it out and count.
Baker then pulled off a near duplicate of his first
shot to corner freeze and again lic shot.
The rock was, however, hittable with Kozak only

. having to repeat his first delivery to take the game.

And it looked good until his rock picked up a

hair, veered sharply and wrecked on the front leav-

ing Baker with the singleton and the ‘A’ event tille.
Third went to local Dave Dennis who'd deen
blown out by Baker in one semi while fellow Ter-

acite John Heighington. took. fourth, Heighington...

had lost out to Kozak 7-5 in their semi.

Tn an all-Terrace match-up, Ron Murphy's rink
drove Joc Turner from the sheet carly to take the
*B’ event in the 44 rink spiel.

Murphy had got.to the final by defeating Louise
Radford 6-4 while Turner had knocked off Jeff

Davidson 8-6,

'C’ event provided another allTerrace final with
Fred Martens and Larry Burke staging a thriller,

Having traded ends throughout, it was still. any-
body’s going into the final frame, Martens with the
hammer, .

And when he came to throw his final shot,
Martens found himself having to pull off a double
takeout to sncak the win.

- Although the shot was a relatively straightforward
one, curlers know only too well those: ‘simple’
Shots can casily go.awry when the pressure’s on, *

But not this time as Martens made the double
cleanly to clinch the title 9-8,

That gave third spot to Don Anderson’ 8 fours
