After arriving home, around 2 am last Friday night, from a whirlwind tour we got a chance to speak with Brooks Blackmer about his experiences. Coming from his last stop in Courtney, B.C. he says it was nice and a good experience. "A lot of things were paid for like the hotel accommodations, flights and things" Players from Edmonton, Medicine Hat, Sundry and Magrath made up the Alberta Team that placed 13 out of 16 at Redmond, Washington. "One of the better finishes for Alberta." Once they got to Courtney, B.C. for the Canadian Junior Championship they picked up Mike Mezei from Lethbridge for their Team effort in replacement for the Edmonton player. Mike also won the 4 day Canadian tournament. Out of the 280 kids that played in this tournament Brooks placed 57th. An excellent accomplishment. Since Brooks is only 17 he is still eligible to qualify for next years tour. special points of INTERESTS: *In the Ubrary *Ser>iors News ^Trading Company Grocery Specials ‘Home Hardware Sales Inside this issue: SPORTS 2 Community interests 3& 4 Real Estate & 5-6 Classifieds Tired of the same recipes?

Over the August long weekend a person or persons went into the Magrath Nature Reserve and tore down a steel goose-nesting platform that was standing in water. This structure was located west of the spill gate ^towards the golf course. This platform has consistently been used by geese to raise a gaggle of goslings over the years and has provided a unique wildlife viewing experience for people using the area. This particular goose nesting platform require three men to put up, so whomever tore it down had to work at it for sometime. Volunteers created a "Jewel" of a Natural Area on the edge of a town. The Fel Balderson Nature Reserve was developed and is maintained by the Magrath Rod & Gun Club named after a well-known local conservationist. Fel Balderson in conjunction with the Magrath Rod & Gun Club wanted to provide a Natural area that could be shared by both the wildlife and people of Magrath and area. The vandalism not only destroyed a nesting site for geese but it also is an offence against the Criminal code and violates provision of the Wildlife Act and Migratory Birds Convention Act. Anyone having knowledge of who destroyed this nesting platform is asked to contact The Natural Resources Office in Cardston 653-5158 THE RAYMOND AND DISTRICT AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY WILL BE HOLDING THEIR 15TH ANNUAL FALL FAIR AND HORSE SHOW, FRI AUG 25 & SAT AUG 26 AT THE AG SOCIETY COMPLEX IN RAY­MOND ENTRY FEE.
