The club will contribute to the Canadian Bridge Federation Charity Fund, which this year is disburs- ing the money to Alzhe- imer's Disease and Ileitis- Colitas.

The Russ Howard Rink, on a month long tour of Europe, won a high stakes "skins game'"' in Glasgow over the weekend. Winn- ing the first division final game, the 1987 World Champions put over $11,000 dollars into their wallets. Break that down to about $2800 a piece; not bad for a weekend of work. Details from overseas are sketchy, but from talking to the Howard boys' father Bill, the guys defeated Nor- way in the final. While it is not known if former World Champion Eigil Ramsjfell was the representative from Norway, you can bet it was an exciting final with a thousand dollars per end on the line. Bill told me that the team had a rematch with Roger Schmidt of West Germany, who lost to the Penetang- uishene Curling Club team in the final of the World Championships this past spring. Guess what? Russ and the guys didn't even make it close. They took all ten ends and all the skins from, the West German squad. So, after playing in their first spiel of the 1987-88 campain, the Russ Howa- rd team finds itself in an eviable position. They are probably about five or six thousand dollars ahead of what they won all through the curling season last year. And, it looks like the boys are on the right beam to maybe go all the way again this season after beating some of the best teams in all of Europe. This week the guys are touring Germany by bus, playing in a few exhibition games (possibly against Roger Schmidt again) and will end up in Berne, Switzer- land this weekend for a 32 team, double knockout event sponsored by the Mercedes-Benz Corporation. Following the Switzer- land spiel, Glen Howard, Kent Carstairs and Tim Belcourt will return home because of work com- mitments and fresh troops will be sent overseas to help Russ in a spiel in Ayr, Scotland. Those recruits are fifth man Larry Merkl- ey, Larry Snow from Toro- nto who viced for Ed Were- nich last season, and an old standby, Bob Storey from Elmvale. Good luck to all. And, we are looking forward to the pictures Russ' wife Wendy brings back of the team in action. She is taking them exclusively for Markle Community Newspapers and for our newspapers at the Penetanguishene Curl- ing Club: Teachers judge art On Oct. 9 Ken Cowan and two retired fellow teachers, Dolly Heasman and Chris Thomson, journeyed to Christian Island to judge exhibits for the Native Thanksgiving Achievement Weekend. The exhibits were most interesting, said Cowan, showing art and craft work from the children of the day care centre and on up through the Island Elemen- tary School, as well as a few other exhibits by older people. Part of the exhibits followed the Native Language and Culture theme. It was quite evident the native community is blessed with creative minds, Cowan said. Before leaving the island the guests were treated to a lovely noon luncheon by Faith Marsden and her helpers at the day care centre. The boat trip back across the water had its ups and downs - the wind had become quite strong and the waves tossed the visitors about somewhat. But the lovely new vessel, Indian Maiden, was most comfortable, said Cowan. Unfortunately, the guests could not attend the rest of the Achievement Weekend, which was to in- clude recreation activities Sex and The annual meeting of the Midland-Penetang and District Branch of the Canadian tomorrow night.
