Special Olympians
bowl in Terrace

A B.C. Special Olympics
Regional Bowling Meet held in
Terrace recently was a great
success, according to organizer
Monica Peacock. She says the
success was primarily due to the
many businesses and volunteers
who supported it..

Peacock said a bonus to the
tournament may be a new nor-
thern chapter of B.C. Special
Olympics in Vanderhoof.

She .said the tournament
wasn’t really an official meet but
more of a fun tournament to
allow the various teams in the
north to get to know one
another a little better and it also
provided the opportunity for
Vanderhoof organizers to see
for themselves what Special
Olympics is all about. With a lit-
tle help from B.C. Special Olym-
pics Program Assistance Officer
Maureen Hollis of Vancouver,
and some very able bowling by
everyone involved, Vanderhoof
may well be on its way.

The tournament attracted 48
bowlers from Terrace, Smithers,
Vanderhoof and Prince Rupert,
and when it was all over
Smithers placed first in the team
event, Vanderhoof came in se-
cond and Terrace ‘and Prince
Rupert tied for third.

In the Men’s division, the
two-game high score was won by
Laverne Chinn of Terrace witha
281, followed by a Smithers
bowler, and Peter Nisyok of
Terrace, who placed third. In
the Ladies’ division, top honors
were taken by bowlers. from

Smithers, Prince Rupert and
Vanderhoof,

Another category, ‘‘Total
Strikes and Spares’, ended in
the Men’s division with three
Terrace bowlers on top: John
Reid, Dale Brown and Irvin
Henyu. The Ladies was won by
April Woods of Terrace, follow-
ed by a Smithers bowler and
Arlene Lindlay of Terrace.

The afternoon of bowling was
capped off by a dinner and
dance in the Thornhill Elemen-
tary gymnasium, which Peacock
said was “thoroughly enjoyed
by all’’. She said music was pro-
vided by David and Barb Hicks
of ‘‘Moon Walker’ and the
food was supplied primarily by
Skeena Valley Meats, Mohawk
Stop ’n Shop and Bert’s Deli.

Peacock said the tournament
organizers had a lot of help and
gave special thanks for its suc-
cess to the Terrace Bowling
Lanes, Fred Berghauser, Leona
Wilcox and Eva Wilkinson of
the Master Bowlers’ Association
of Terrace, workers from Ter-
race and District Community
Services Life Skills Program and
scorekeepers. Cecile, Linda

“The whole objective was to
get the region together so that
when they meet at a provincial
level they will know someone,”
said Peacock. ‘So it was for
orientation, friendship and just
having a good time — and that
they did. They had a marvelous
time.’’ : os ;
