The Way I See It By GARY OAKE The Marine Bonspiel has ended for another year. The used anchors and left-over trophies have been packed away and won't be brought to light again until next season. . As the Marine ended, more than half the participating curlers returned to their jobs, their homes, their families and generally, their normal ways of life. The remaining curlers will continue to play in ‘spiels on a smaller scale until the season ends. : Bonspicl time gives one the opportunity to observe people as they really are or would like to be. Gone are the false fronts, the meeckness, the uncertainty of people. Instead we see glass-eyed, cigar-chomping, bellowing types. Booze flows at the curling rink as if it were going out of style and the smoke is so thick you're lucky if you can see across the room. , But in spite of ‘all this, there are usually some excep- tional games and everyone has a good time. One of the most prominent features of curling, usually, is the good sportman- ship which prevails, du ing both league play and bonspicl time. That is, it normalfy prevails. However, it didn’t this year. In its place we had.so many cynical cracks flying around that many curlers worgs‘hard hats” to protect themselves from fallout. © owe _ And all the cracks were aimed at young Bruce Kerr and his rink of Den Scott, Jack McLean and David Mio. For the record, Kerr's’ fouxddihe won A Event, D Event and the Grand Aggregate in the Marine, The 18-year-6id Kerr and his rink curled excellently dur- ing the ’spiel losizig only one game on their way to the top. They are the youngast: palyers to ever win the Grand Aggregate and all four desefve’*pats on the back and loud praise. At the time, they were congratulated by-many pcople and criticized by almost as many others. Critical curlers jealous Knockers claimed the young rink “never should have been allowed to play” in the ‘spicl. “We can’t enter the high school bonspiel,” they cried, ‘so why should they be allowed to enter ours.” One prominent curler suggested that he cowd beat them “if I was sober”. Another said that if they aren’t old enough - to get into the bar they shouldn't be allowed in the ‘spiel.. Several days later, it was hinted that Kerr would be allow- ed to play in the regular league next scason but couldn't enter the bonspicl. / It would scem to this scribe that most of the comments were brought about primarily by that ‘ole green-cyed, monster jealousy, © 2 5 te .

Nhy..should the adult curlers be allowed to enter a high "spiel? © a * Oo phe-odds of any adult curler winning a high school “spiel “are quite high, whereas the odds against Kerr winning the ’ Marine were even higher, J "Po use drunkeness as an excuse for not curling well is not only disgraceful, but is a sad commentary on the state of the game locally. The question immediately arises: “Are they out there to curl or drink?” Obviously it must be to drink with a litle curling thrown in for a chaser. Drinking in a moderate form is fine but to use it as an excuse is too much for this observer to stomach. ‘Kerr has paid over $200 into the curling club and conse- quently he has just as much right as most and more than «.
