"You Il see some strange expressions”
: Len’ s Pen

by Len Harrington

I enjoy going to
season-end sports ban-
quets.

Banquet-dance bashes
are just another game
that people play. Tables
of patrons try out-drink
the other tables.

It’s a game nobody
wins, unless you consider
next day’s hangover as
the prize.

Everyone is decked
out in their Sunday best.
It’s an immaculate

Kitimat tourney

crowd sitting there
waiting for the first call

to the smorgasbord
table.
Six hours later,

assorted garments are
strewn around like the

finale to a bargain base- .

ment sale.

Local cleaning estab-
lishments are the only
winners.

When it comes to dan-
cing, I’m from the old
Glenn Miller school. I

like to hold on to my
partner and either fox
trot, swing or tango.
Holding your partner to-
day is taboo,

Some dancers bounce
around like they’ve step-
ped in something. Others
prance like they’re afraid
of stepping in some-
thing.

I sit and watch the

faces of
and/or boyfriends who
are sitting one out while
their date dances with
another.

You see some strange
expressions. If he's look-
ing for an excuse to beat
her up, he looks like a
grinning fox ready to
pounce on his next meal.

If he wears a con-

Bantam Stars top tournment

The Terrace Bantam
House League All-Stars

sparkling performance

tle at the Kitimat Bantam

and then beat Hazelton

about five minutes on a
referee’s decision. Kevin

Kermode girls look
OK in Vernon series

Two close losses and a
lopsided victory enabled
the Caledonia Kermode
Girls Senior High School
Basketball Team to post
a seventh-place finish at
the Vernon Royals’

**Pre-Christmas” tour-
nament.
In their first game

against Salmon Arm,
Kermodes lost top re-
bounder Carline Hendry
in the second half when
she fouled out. This
made quite a difference
as Salmon Arm won

were high scorers for
Terrace.

In game two, they fac-
ed Kelowna — the num-

despite a 24-point per-
formance from Hendry,

This set them up
against the Prince
Rupert Bees in the semi-
final, and it was no con-
test as Terrace ran up a
13-6 win. Trent Franson
got the game star

The boys were still
seething a bit when they
took to the ice in the
final against Hazelton.

This time they avoided
too many trips to the sin
bin to win the gold. Ted
Taylor picked the game
Star award for Terrace.

third-place bronze
medals, Kitimat Bees
outscored Prince Rupert
Bees 8-5,

Free fitness classes

by Elaine Parmenter
Recreation Program
Co-ordinator
TERRACE — Do your
New Year’s Resolutions
for {986 include the
thought you should be in
better physical shape?
Fitness classes sound
great, but perhaps
you’ve never gone and
really have no idea of
what to expect or how to
do the exercises?
Terrace Parks and
Recreation is having a
free fitness class just for
you. On Thursday, Jan.
9, we are holding a
fitness class that is
designed to teach new
participants the correct

way to do common exer-
cises,

Many exercises appear
to be easy to do, but,
unless you use the cor-
rect position and tech-
nique, your body won’t
get the full benefit of the
exercise,

With a little correction
in the beginning, you will
find the fitness class
much easier and much
less painful than you
thought.

For this special class
we will have two instruc-
tors — one demonstrat-
ing the exercise and
another assisting people
with the correct body
positions.

Even pointing your
toes makes alot of dif-
ference in some exer-
cises,

Two free classes will
be offered — one from 9
a.m, to 10:30 a.m. and
another from 7 p.m. to
8:30 p.m.

For those requiring
babysitting, it will be
available at the Terrace
pool for the 9 a.m. to
10:30 a.m. class. The
usual babysitting fee is in
effect.

For more information
on these or other fitness
classes, call the Terrace

fice at 638-1174,

in zone and provincial
playdowns at the end of
the season.

The associations were
allowed to drop a notch
because their total

enrolments put them
within the lower
classification.

For example, the
cutoff for triple and dou-
ble ‘A’? competition is
250, Anything above
that number goes triple
‘“A’', while below 250
goes double ‘‘A’’.

Terrace has 247
youngsters registered,
while Prince Rupert and
Kitimat are both hover-
ing around the 200 mark.

MEAT TocEAr!

“wild I Horses

Thirty to forty bands of wild
horses live on Sable Island off
the coast of Nova Scotia, reports
National Geographic World.
Researchers believe horses were
taken to the istand in colonial
timesand fefi there to ensurethat
shipwrecked sailors would have

tinuous frown, it means
he’s jealous because his
date’s partner is a better
dancer, is better looking,
and is probably well-
known for his unlisted
service,

if he’s smiling, this
means his wife is so ugly
he doesn’t have to
worry. If he’s snuggled
up to the honey beside
him, it means he’s seeing
his lawyer for a divorce
next week,

A question that pops
up at these affairs is,
why do women always
go to the powder room in
groups of two or more?

I’m told it’s so they
can exchange hot gossip.
Men don’t go to the
powder room together.
If they did, they’d be the
subject of the hot gossip.

Every table has one or
more characters. There’s
always the happy drunk.
He sings one song while
the band is playing one
entirely different.

There’s the ‘‘know-it-
all’? drunk, more com-
monly known as a
*‘*‘loud-mouthed
schnook’’. He's a master
at interupting conversa-
tions, and usually ends
up sitting by himself.

There’s the troubled
drunk, We’ve all got
skeletons in our closets,
but he gets his kicks by
adding some of his bones
to yours.

My favorite character
is the guy who puts $10
in the drink pot and ends
up drinking his, yours
and your wife’s share of
the booze.

As the bash is ending,
you see him wandering
from table to table,
scrounging drinks be-
cause he’s slopped up
everything at his own
table. Actualiy he’s not a
bad guy.

Besides I’ve never had
any complaints when I
go around after those
drinks.
