SO NBAR. Afier a playoff run
that wiped out memories of a
fifth place regular season fin-
ish, the Surveyors came up
agonizingly short in the Under-
10s soccer final.

After putting together a con-
vincing undefeated run on their
way to the tille match, Sur-

veyors found themselves
facing regular season champs
Centennial Lions,

Surveyors got on the board
first but the Lions clawed back
level before the half.

saw only one goal, and it was
the Lions netting it with tess
than 10 minutes to go then
holding on for the victory.

Smithers golf pro John Morgan
at the Northern Open,

Playing on his home course,
Morgan fired a 54-hole 222 to
finish three strokes clear of
Rosengren and Burns Lake’s
George Noth.

Jim Rigler got Terrace anoth-
er berth in the prizes with a
third place finish in ‘A’ flight.

TELKWA’S final tennis
toumament of the scason is
known as the Demolition and
Terrace’s raiding party came
close to doing just that.

Fran Mann and Nancy Con-

ladies’ doubles, sweeping the
round robin for the crown.

Swam Mana and Guy Kiland
fell at the final fence, brushed
off 6-1, 6-2 but there was com-
pensation for Terrace, Richard

_ However, Krieg] had to setile

singles and mixed doubles,

The singles went to

Smithers’ Chris Simnett 6-4, 6-

the doubles final 7-5, 7-6.

day night and is looking for

need for more Volunteers cilher

sports or in administration,

Anyone interested can either

Street sweep

MIRROR IMAGE: that’s what
Dianne James conjured up at the
closing day of the '94 Stock Car
association season.

Ending the season just as she
started out, James sped to the flag
in both ‘C’ Street races, repcating
her opening day sweep of that
division.

Albert Weber also finished his |

year on‘a high note, guiding #6 to
both Heat and Main victories.

(With much of the day devoted
to the demolition events, there
were no trophy dash races at the
Sept. 11 finale.)

And adding sweeps of their
own were Joe Botz and Ed Hall
in ‘A’ and ‘B’ Street respectively.

For John Cloakey, the last day
of racing continued his onward-
and-upward path.

Cloakey began the year in ‘B’
Stree? — with a win — quickly
moved to the ‘A’ Strect side
where he added more victories
and finished Sept. 11 with a step
up to the ‘A’ Hobby class and a
win in the Heat,

Jules LaFrance took the Main in
that division while Dan Thickett
and Blaine Kluss_ split the
honours in the ‘B’ Hobby.

Elizabeth Cloakey and Dawn
Tomas were another duo who fin-
ished their scasan as they had
started, each picking up a victory

in ‘C’ Hobby action.

Not surprisingly, there’ were no
double winners in the demolition
events where Duane Greeves took
the trophy Dash and Rick Meicr
the Heat.

Leon Levebre then pave a
demonstration of his unique driv-
ing skills as he guided 4007.5 to

viclory in the Backwards race.

That set the stage for the bump-
and-pass Demolition Derby
where Dave Reinhardt beat out
Richard Devost and Jules
LaFrance for this year’s title.

The day set the seal on what has
been an excellent season for the
Stock Car association, one that
saw a number of new cars and
drivers plus two new track
records.

Elizabeth Cloakey nailed down
the first carly in the scason when
she was clocked at 19.29 seconds
in ‘C’ Hobby while Gord Klassen
waited almost until the end to.
lower the Hobby Stock mark to
18.89,

And the pair had one thing in
common — both were piloting
car #77 when they got their
names into the record books.

The association officially
wound up the season last Satur-
day night with their annual
awards banquet, Watch for those
names next week.

Ice action begins

mutter darkly about a strike, local
tec hockey players have scoring

their minds.

slots filled, the puck drops on the
Recreational Division’s ’94-'95

Sunday --evening:: the ~Skcena
Hotel Sharks will: try to chew on
Precision Builders. in preparation

son cellar dwellers have to wait

Fall finale fixed

WITH FALL here and winter
snows perhaps not far behind, the
loca] hiking club is squeezing in
three more hikes while the
weather holds.

This coming Sunday, Septem-
ber 25, the club heads for Blue
Lake, 9km east of Hazelton.

The two-hour walk in to the
lake is rated as moderale but once
there participants can get into
some climbing if they wish.

Dirich (632-4528) will be the
leader for this very scenic outing,
Mect at the Terrace public library

_ at 8 a.m. since this is a longish

drive.

Sunday, October 2 the club
again heads cast, this time as far
as Insect Lookout at Cedarvale.

After covering 57 miles on the
highway and another dozen on a
gravel road, hikers face about a
little more than 3,5 miles of grad-

ual uphill ending with a steep last
half mile.

It’s well worth it, golden leaves
brightening an already scenic area
which includes the Seven Sisters.

Vicki (635-2935) is the leader
and meet at the library at 9 am,
for car pooling.

Finally, Sunday October 9

_ takes the club to Robinson Lake

near Kitimat, This is a moderate
3km walk with some wet, marshy
areas. Again, there’s the scenery
and an interesting rope bridge.

Hikers meet at the Terrace Ii-
brary at 9 a.m. for car pooling or
the chamber of commerce build-
ing at the entrance to Kitimat at
10 a.m. Barb (632-7884) is the
leader for this excursion.

While hockey's leading
executives meet to save the
game from labor strife in tha
Inter-
Continental Hotel in New York,
the place to be for fans of the
game has been the Stockman’s
in Kamloops or the Holiday Inn in
Peterborough: training camp
headquarters of the Vancouver
Canucks and Florida Panthers as
they prepare for the season by
taking their tuneups to a pair of
Canada's hockey hot beds.

The Panthers’. were in
Peterborough for a week, getting

s set for their second NHL season.

They chose the home of their
coach Roger Neilson to train and
it was hard to get a place te sit at
practices, let alone get a parking
spot around the hotel where fans
gathered daily hoping for an

y autcgraph or even a glimpse of

Stu. .Barnes or John
Vanbiesbrouck. :

The Canucks were in
Kamloops, B.C., for the second
year In a row, and while the city
boasts the Memorial Cup
champion Blazers, it, too, turned
out in full force ta see Pavel Bure
and Trevor Linden and embraced

g the only week of the year when

you might hobneb with Geoff

s Courtnall in the lobby of the

Stockman’s.

So popular are these camps
and such a big deal are the
sometimes mundane days of

s drills, perhaps the league should

assign every team a new
hometown for training. They
should all be in locations where
people seldom get a chance to
see games five and have a
curiosity and appreciation at a
time of year when big cities can't
be bothered.

in Peterborough, you didn't
have to be anywhere near the
rink to see the Panthers being put
through their paces. The squad
split into four teams to complete
at hockey, volleyball, even
cycling, where players. raced

§ cross-country through places like

Buckhorn. and Bridgenorth. So
engrossed were they in the

a competition the players seemed

more concerned about their
ability to spike at the net than tip
a puck into it.

The Voice of

the

Canucks

by Jim Hughson

Neilson’s neighbors, you might
have found 60 burly pros spilling
inte your backyard as the coach
hosted nightly barbecues
complete with more games of
tennis, basketball and mini-gotf.

In Kamloops, the camp was
much more subdued because the
Canucks barely had a summer
after losing the Rangers in the
Stanley Cup final in June. The
practice sessions were short and
fast-paced, then the players were
aut and about playing golf, ar on
horseback. as they kicked back
before the start of another
marathon season.

At a time when there are §
more stories and collective J
bargaining than collecting jj
points, it's an odd pleasure to
hear people cheering a goad
play in scrimmage and to know
they'd rather talk about. Martin
Gelinas and Scott Merllanby
than Gary Bettman and Boab §

For a short time hockey at its
highest level was back to its
roots miles from the Inter-
Continental and hard by the
Steckman's. It looked gaod on
it.
