Gene Orwick, Mayor Charles Starr, City Recorder Published Aug. 1, Aug. 8, 1974. OverTha Tee Cup ByRAL At last, the news you've been waiting for! Monica Jones is the winner of the 1974 Willow Creek Women's Eclecta tournament. During the tournament, she posted lower scores on every hole; 29 strokes was her total Improvement. , Quite an accomplishment! Also winning recognition for sharpened skills were Juanita Carmichael and Bev Gunder son. The Tee Cup toasts our champion, and thanks all who took part in the competition. It certainly gave us something to shoot for. Another local golfer won recognition this week La Verne VanMarter Sr., who was honored at Kinzua Sunday for his seniority and skill on the fairways. A dozen golf balls are none too many for a man who plays the game of golf so well and derives so much satisfaction from it. Willow Creek golfers can be proud of their senior mem berand can continue trying their darndest to beat him in a round. Six other golfers braved the heat wave with Van Sunday to partake of hospitality, Kinzua style. Coming home with prizes for their efforts were Doug Gunderson, low gross; Dave Harrison, low net and KP; and Dennis Martin, long drive. Due to the number of participants, the ladies had to be dis-invited. Perhaps the women will be asked back another time. Ten gals steamed around the course on ladies' day, many with the aid of carts, hardly a luxury on such a hot and humid morning. Winning a ball each in a luck-of-the-draw contest were Dorothy Glenn and Lois Hunt. In an attempt to best the elements a bit, ladies' play will com mence at 8:30 until further notice. Plan to join us. A barbecue is scheduled for the 10th, with a 5 tee-off time. This is the last family food and fun day for this month, so make it a point to attend. A suntan is guaranteed!

The 52 players in the East -West game are Salmon ban is eased State Wildlife Director John McKean has announced a two-stage cancellation of the closure on recreational chinook angling . . in . ; the Columbia River. The closure on salmon angling below Bonneville Dam has ended after midnight on July 31 and the closure on the Oregon portion of the Columbia above Bonneville Dam and in the Deschutes River up to Sherar Bridge will be lifted after midnight on Aug. 7. Other Oregon tributar ies of the Columbia River above Bonneville Dam will remain closed to salmon angling including adults as well as "jacks," or those salmon between 12 and 20 inches in length. The temporary closure was put into effect on May 15 because of far below average numbers of spring chinook salmon and heavy spill over all of the Columbia River dams, which made fish pass age difficult. The same con ditions remained true for summer chinook. McKean said nearly all summer chinook have passed Bonneville Dam now and were expected to be beyond Mc Nary Dam by Aug. 8. Fall chinook in good numbers are now moving up the river and recreational angling can be permitted without further harm to spring or summer chinook populations, McKean added. Building? Remodeling?
