,The Ice Man Cometh
Top man at the bonspiel "ice
works" is George Ellefson of
Grafton,
George can whip up a sheet of
ice as slick as the crease on your
newly pressed pants. He's been
"strawbossing" the ice-making de-
tail for the Btg Walsh bonspiel the
l.st three years and his helpers are
mighty proud of him. That goes vice
versa too, He says any credit for
a good job goes to caretaker Charles
" Dlevecky and a faithful crew of
club members.
Was Hockey Pla1r
Eilefson used to piay hockey and
do a lot of skating in his youth and
has had considerable experience in
flooding rinks for ice skating. But
he had had no experience with
making curling rinks until the
Walsh Curling club was formed.
Before the bonspiei last week end
I stopped .in at the Fair building
: Just u the lads where putting the
finishing touches on the ice sheets.
George was fussing over the ice like
a mother getting ready for her
daughter's wedding reception. I
came away enlightened. Curlers can
get as wild and particular about the
shape of the ice as some golfers are
about the condition of the greens.
But the local ice-makers seemed
pleased with their work. Ellefson
would not say it was perfect. That
.takes a heap of saying and a heap
of doing. But he was satisfied• And
I can see why. Club members work-
ed I0 consecutive days getting the
Ice ready for the bonspiel. Which
means they did not just slop a little
water in a form, let it freeze and
say it was ready for curling.
How the Job Is Done
Here is the way it was done for
the Walsh bonspiel: The rink was
flooded with about two inches of
water to form the base sheet. Then
the rink was flooded again about
15 times--each time about the thick-
