Mixed results for One (small) strike against ball field idea

Northwest minor |
hockey on road

Some minor hockey teams performed well while others had prob-
lems at out-of-town tournaments during Easter week.

Kitimat’s Bantam ‘AA’ reps wound up in ninth place out of 10
teams in their B.C. finals. Their only win came in their last game
when they downed Dawson Creek 9-1. Otherwise they lost 9-5 to
North Island, 7-5 to 100 Mile House, 11-7 to Aldergrove, and 9-2 to
Kimberiey.

Kitimat’s Atoms, however, put out a much greater effort and
came home with first place honours at Kamloops’ 25-team tourma-
ment,

_ They went undefeated, starting with an 8-6 victory over Calgary.
Next they downed Logan Lake 12-5, beat Prince George 8-0, out-
scored Kamloops 7-5, bounced Williams Lake 11-6 and took on
Kamloops once more to whip them 10-4 in the final.

Terrace Peewees played in a 10-team tournament at Cloverdale
where they had two wins and two loses to place third in their five-

- team division, missing out on playoffs by one game.

Terrace opened with an 8-0 win over Vancouver Hastings, then
lost 4-2 to Port Coquitlam. Next they downed Victoria 9-1 before
dropping their last round-robin match 3-2 to Penninsula.

Most nine-year-olds probably
don’t think they have much of a
voice on issues and events in our
community. These are things to be
debated and resolved by parents
and politicians. Apparently,
though, no one has ever told nine-
year-old Jeff Bolingbroke this, so
when he felt strongly about an
issue he wrote a letter to city
council.

Bolingbroke lives in the 4900
block Gair Ave. and he and his
friends play in the bush across the

street. That overgrown playground

will disappear if a Terrace Minor
Baseball proposal is approved.

"If you make it into a ball field
we won't be able to climb trees,
ride our bikes, cross country ski,
find new trails, go really fast down
hills," he writes. “There’s so many
fun things I can’t name them all.
So please don’t put baseball fields
in that area.”

Bolingbroke’s letter was referred

to the city’s Recreation Committee
for further consideration, but alder-
man Danny Sheridan said he had
had the pleasure of meeting with
the young man and was impressed.
He therefore asked that the letter
be sent to the Advisory Parks and
Recreation Commission as well.
The minor baseball proposal calls
for the construction of a number of

new ball. fields on property owned
by the city and School District 88
on North Eby between Dairy and
Gair. City council asked adminis-
tration to poll residents in the area
earlier this year and superintendent
of parks and recreation Steve Scott
says the closing date for written
submissions favouring or opposing
the idea is Apr. 20.

just as many awards. The emcee
