BOWLING by IAN CAMERON This week I would like to talk about one of the hard working members of our Association. Dave Alexander has worked with the YSBA since its con- ception in 1967. He worked two years in lane cer- tification then two years as tournament director, and now for the last three years he is back at lane cer- tification. The tools of Daves trade are a 42 inch level and a set of feeler gauges. Lanes are certified each year and is done on request of the lane proprieter. If you think this isn't a big job consider that Dave has done 12 bowling centres and each centre has between 16-20 lanes. So there are approximately 200 lanes to be certified. Alleys are checked for level at six different points 8'. 18'. 34', 44', 52’ and 1' from the headpin. The maximum tilt allowed is 40 1000 of an inch. Approaches are checked for wear at the sliding point (approx. 1' from the foul line) the maximum wear allowed is h inch. All gutters, pits, cushions and drop curtains are checked for good repair. Bowling balls are checked for weight and diameter. Honor Dave Alexander for kegling exploits Dave checks all string machines in ividually the timing devic must function at a minimum of four seconds‘ The cord attached to each pin must be a minimum of eight feet in length. String tension cannot exceed 14 inch, in- correct tension could result in pins being set off spot‘ The string machine is allowed a ‘4 inch tolerance in centering the pin, Reasons for lane cer- tification every year is that each alley owner gets his lanes sanded and refinished every three to four years. Having the lanes certified every year shows him what kind of job was done. Another reason for lane certification is that record scores team or individual can not be recognized unless the lanes are certified. I hope this article has given you some insight into the mechanics of the game and I would like to thank Dave Alexander for making this information available to . FRIDAYMAJORS This weeks action saw the start of a new series. l4 â€" THE LiBERAL. Tuesday, D1": ‘11. £974 llis prize is an allâ€"expense paid trip for two for one week to Disney World in Florida.

A slow running lane is one which a ball will “break.” more. A hook ball will break more sharply to the left, a back-up more sharply to the right. A fast lane is one on which the ball will not break as much. A lane that is freshly dressed will hardly break at then go to zone finals then on all. You will probably find your ball sliding into the pins. But a few nights later after the lanes have been used the ball might break more.

Photo by Stuart The Chalet structure is an impressive one with large wooden beams, floors, and staircases in natural wood finishes. The second level dance floor is a circular rotunda placed in the middle of the dining area. By Norman Matthews The King Valley Chalet and Ski Centre on Con- cession 5 (Jane Street) heralded the opening of their new Portofino restaurant and dining room with a private party on the evening of December 22. Owned by Italian in- terests, the ski facility has been plagued since it opened several years ago with a lack of snow, and of the resultant revenue. The dome roof of the rotunda area is also a place to dance or to survey whoever is dining below. Looking through the large glass windows we could watch nightime skiers weaving their way down various paths on the spotlit slopes outside. To the music of the stylish looking group called “The Connection", we enjoyed a delicious meal which started with appetizers of cold meat and asparagus, fresh salmon, and cole slaw, followed by lasagna, and then roast beef and green salad. The large salmon. complete with heads and Richmond Hill Wilson Niblett Chev-Olds Minor Peewee A‘s new coach Jim Donoghue won the first game he handled which was a 2-1 verdict over a powerful Thornhill team December 20. Volunteer agencies everywhere echo the same need â€" for capable, com- passionate people who can drive and are willing to devote a little time to help others. Alas, his luck ended abruptly December 22 when Aurora came to town and bowled over the “green men“ 5-1. This game saw Aurora lead 1-0 at the end of the first period but start skating away with four big ones in the final period. Richmond Hill’s only goal came at 13:53 of the same period Don Earl scoring from Andrew Don and Paul Beck- with. The Thornhill win saw the Niblett boys turning in a sterling performance for Coach Donoghue in his first game. Ron Abernethy fired home two goals December 22 as the Richmond Hill Bond Steel Minor Midgets up- ended Newmarket 6-3. Hospitals. children’s and aged groups, cancer society units, libraries, all require drivers for as little as one hour a week. but psychologically the work often involves a little more than just chauffeuring. For a child, the drive from a school to a clinic may be one of the few times he can be by himself and voice his opinions. For the hanâ€" dicapped, this may be his only time away from home. For the aged and lonely. the driver may be the only person with whom he can chat with that day. The other goals went to Chris DeGeer from Dave Baker and Rick Girard; Doug Lewis from Steve Bishop and DeGeer; David Forster'from Al Delfabro and Abernethy; Danny McVeigh from Doug Lewis and Roy Russell. Hill Niblett Peewees win, lose for new boss Ron Abernethy fires 2 goals Assisting on the one Abernethy goal were Mike Neilson and Dave Baker. Some agencies require drivers on a regular basis, once a week or once a month. Others can make use of drivers' services irregularly. at the volun- teer's convenience. Some agencies reimburse drivers for their expenses at a fixed rate per mile. Others have no funds available at all. Volunteer drivers needed People willing to lend a hand in this direction may get additional information from Helpmate-Information which serves the larger Town of Richmond Hill, telephone 884-2727 (after January 9‘ 883-2334); Volunteer Centre â€" North York, 222-2551; HELP in Woodbridge, 851-2333; or Information Markham. 294- 4300. New restaurant and tavern opened at King Valley Ski The locals came up with another fine effort against Markham in an exhibition game December 16 but came up on the short end of a 3-2 score. Richmond Hill went ahead in the first period on a goal by Paul Harrietha assisted by Carl D’Antimo and held their lead until the third period when Thomhill tied the game. Coach Donoghue replaces former Coach Rawn Price who had to give up the reins due to business pressure. Then came Harrietha‘s winner late in the game assisted once again by Carl D'Antimo. A December 15 game saw Richmond Hill losing 4-1 to Barrie despite coming up with a good effort. Wilson Niblett Chev Olds lone goal was by Doug MacLeave assisted by Walter Nye. We wish the King Valley Chalet and Ski Centre every success in the 1974-75 season and hope they continue to expand their facility in King Township. It was an evening of festivity and gaiety. The gentleman selling tickets for the bar seemed to be making continual errors in giving change to the good of the patrons, with a few of us getting back more in change than we gave in the first place. If the handouts were in fact errors, the writer would be pleased to give back the extra received if the owners would claim same. Donna and I didn’t know many people there (as the majority of them were Italian) but we did get a chance to say hi to Norm and Gerry Baird.
