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!

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.
