TAKING & BREAK. Snowmobilers, including Ron Niesner (nearest camera), take a break from
their 100km money raising Snowarama ride to enjoy a wiener roast at the Jack's Lake cabin. ~

Snowarama. If
temperatures drop below freezing
that doesn’t bother snowmobilers
as they are dressed well for cold
weather.

But a cloudy, wet and rainy
day, now that should discourage
anyone from leaving a warm dry
house to venture into the back-
country on a snowmobile.

The weather Feb. 7 was 4
prime example, but that did not
discourage more than 40 snow-
mobile enthusiasts from enjoying

Winter’s wonderland.
A typical stowmobiler is a per-
son who will drive a warm car lo
the store for their favorite steak
and ride a snowmobile for 100
km for a bumt wiener.

Isnt it amazing what a snow-
mobdiler puts up with to have fun.
Earl and Bonnie Larson - co-
chaired Snowarama this year and
sure appreciated the tum out of
riders.

They would like to thank the
members of the Lions club for

on a 4-1 split decision, but Ter-
race coach Jeff Dilley empha-
sized the bout was closer than
that scoreline suggested.

‘He really gave the guy a run
for his money,’” he said of Ger-
vais’ performance.

kKkKaKK :

Focy Losier is getling stcadily
closer, at least geographically, 10
this year’s top goal.

The Alberla version bebind
him, Losier heads further east this
week for the Saskatchewan Silver
Gloves. ;

He'll be part of the B.C. team
and the trip is part of his prepara-:
tions for the Canadian team’s
trips to Europe in late spring. _

Good as he is, Losier is com-
paratively inexperienced when it
comes to fights to date.

Therefore, Dilley said the idea
is to get him as much experience
as possible before he takes on the
Europeans,
