CURLING CLUB members from the North Van-
couver Recreation Centre (NVRC) are not im-
pressed with the proposal to turn their curling

rink into a museum.
The rink, home to world

curling champion Linda

Moore, was proposed by

’ North Vancouver City Ald.
. Stella Jo Dean as a possible

new home for the North
Shore Museum and Ar-
chives.

But NVRC curling club

- president Susan Phillips says
. club membership has in-

creased by 12 per cent over
the past three years, and she
“is anticipating a substan-
tial growth for the future."*
Phillips explained that five
years ago the ice conditions

‘at NVRC were not up. to

standard and curling
membership decreased. But

- since then leaks in the roof

were mended, a new ‘con-
Genser was put in, ice condi-
tions became excellent cand
the rocks were sharpened..

-“Up until we had good

_ice, we couldn't promote,

“tebuild or increase our
membership,”’ Phillips said.

_ “That kind of thing takes

? “time. You can't do it over a

year. You’ve got to start

- building — that's what
“ we’ve been doing, and it’s

working very well.’’

Richard Randolph
Ranger, 22, of no fixed ad-
dress, was convicted of
Anthony
Thompson of the. North
Vancouver RCMP in an in-
cident which occurred in ear-

: ly February.

The. incident began when
North Vancouver RCMP
responded to a comp. ‘aint of
a fight in the lane beh. ‘d the
Olympic Hotel in the 100

_block East Second. Ranger

was arrested as a result of
the fight, but initially
resisted police attempts: to
take him into custody.

Once at the North Van-
couver RCMP detachment,
Ranger suddenly became vi-
olent and attacked Thomp-
son, who suffered minor in-
juries in the altercation,

Ranger was subsequently
charged with several counts
of assault, including assault
causing bodily harm and
resisting arrest.

A stay of proceedings was
issued against all counts ex-
cept the charge of assaulting
a peace officer,

NVRC curlers take advan-
tage of the North Shore
Winter Club’s (NSWC) affer
to use their rink while the
private club is experiencing
financial difficulties is not a
viable solution, says NVRC
curling club vice-president
John Van Duzen.

“It's not a valid offer,”
Van Duzen said. ‘It’s like
saying you can us: my
kitchen if I'ra not cooking,
and I'll be cooking all day.
There’s no guarantee.

They'd like to take our rev- °

enue when possible, but they
can’t take us all.”

Curlers who now use
NVRC include 405° club
members, 88 commercial
league members and 700
students Phillips said.

Said Phillips: “It’s tronic
that we’re here fighting for a
rink, when we'll be greeting
the (Moore) teaia tomorrow
(Tuesday). We've spent the
last four years trying to get
better ice. How could things
go any better with world
class curlers, and then we get
this.’
