Page 7, News, Ware: September 14 , 1988 Sports = Dart player fared well at Senior Games 'Sudden-death' provides exciting finish By Greg Huneault the News Although she failed to hit the bull's eye, Rena Ross fared very well at this year's Ontario Senior Games held in Brampton last week. Rena was one of 31 Thunder Bay District residents participat- ing in the second annual Games. A total of 1,443 participants 55 years of age or older competed in events such as Bridge, Golf, Shuffle Board bowling and swim- ming to list a few.- The life-long resident of ;Schreiber has sharpened her dart skills over the last three years while as a member of a dart league playing out of the Schreiber Legion. She qualified for the Ontario Games after playing well at the Northeastern Senior Games held earlier in Thunder Bay. She was paired with a male partner from Thunder Bay, and the two faced 62 other competi- tors in the dart competition. They played the popular form of the game in which players start out with 501 points. The object of the match is to add up the total of each round of darts and subtract that from the previous score until the player or team reaches 0 points. To win the game, however, there is a twist. A player must land a dart in the double area of the board, and that score must bring him or her to 0 points exactly. Rena and her partner shot some good darts during the com- petition. They found themselves tied with another team for the qualify- ing round for the finals and faced a sudden-death match. Unfortunately, they lost a close game, and were out of the medals round. Rena said she has played darts in the Schreiber Legion since after WWII ee they had only one dart boar She is emis the treasurer of the local dart league, which she said is enjoying a resurgence of player interest. This year, the players had the option of joining a men's, women's or mixed league. No doubt a few of them will be studying Rena's winning tech- niques. Hockey stars not the only things that will shine in arena this year By Greg Huneault the News The players and spectators will have a clearer view of that great Dean Main surveys obsolete arena lights. play now that new lights have been installed in the Terrace Bay Arena. Terrace Bay Recreation Co- ordinator Dean Main told the Thank You The owners and staff of the TERRACE BAY BAKERY would like to take this opportunity on our first anniversary to thank aff our customers for their patronage and support over the fast year. It's you who've made it a success. May we continue to serve you well. Thank You News that 28 halide lamps were removed and replaced with 50 lights of a better quality. Main said many fans and play- ers complained about being over- shadowed by poor lighting. That was a big part of the problem, too. "The arena has been plagued with complaints regarding lighting," Main said. "There were just too many shad- ows on the ice." The new lights are halide as well, but the reflector in the bulb of cach light will help to diffuse' the shadows and provide a more even light surface. . The work was completed by McEwen Electric in about two weeks at a cost of under $28,000. Half of the cost was provided by a Capital Conservation Grant through the Ministry of Tourism and recreation. The Township will pick up the remainder of the price tag. The new lights, situated over the rink surface, will complement the existing lights located around the rink and behind the stands. Now, hockey players will be taking a chance when they tell their line mates: "I didn't see the puck."
