Tivoli Theatre Hamilton, Ontario Challenges All Sport Buffs The Tivoli Theatre Staff was engaged in a gruelling hockey match January 8 versus the Burlington Showcase Six Cinemas (a rival theatre chain, boo, boo!) It was a fast-paced game and a good time was had by both teams which, by the way, employ both male and female hockey talent. The Carolyn Pesola and Sue Allen power lines accounted for most of the Tivoli scoring; while strong defensive play from players Kevin ‘‘The Hammer’’ Mickleboro and John ‘‘Kid Flash’’ Lyons kept the ‘‘Showcase’’ scoring to virtually nil. Keen leadership was provided by Tivoli manager Ross ‘‘Rocket’’ Pratt, and by ‘‘The Golden Jet’’ Paul Hourigan, manager of Burlington Mall Cinemas. Dave Pratt, ‘‘The Pocket Rocket’? younger brother of Ross, was amazingly effective on right wing, (NHL offers are forthcoming). Needless to say the Tivoli team coasted to an easy victory over Showcase Six with one of the most lopsided scores ever seen. Action photos are not available because the pace was so fast that the pictures were blurred! The Tivoli staff, proficient not only in hockey but in baseball and football also, challenges all comers! Famous Players H.O. Baseball Team Seeks Challengers — Out There! An enthusiastic head office baseball nut, Martha Ferency, EDP Department, hopes the following item will bring some great challenges from not only the Toronto area, but from other neighbouring locations. She even visualizes a ‘‘hospitality exchange’’ program! Ah, spring is here at last!! A brillant blue sky, the warming rays of a shining sun and a few innings of softball. Yes, it’s that time again. Time to get those baseball mitts out of mothballs. Once again the call goes out to all head office employees to sign-up for the team. Spring training will commence mid-May. This year’s cap Famous Fans Support Hockey Team in Fredericton, N.B. The Plaza Cinemas Hockey Team took to the ice at the Lady Beaverbrook Rink March 3 to do battle with the staffs from the two Zellers stores in Fredericton. A great turnout by the theatre and Fun Villa staffs cheered the Plaza team’s efforts in their 4-3 loss to a fast skating Zellers team. When you consider the Plaza Hockey Team had only two spares and that the game was a straight 60-minute affair — with no time out — they must be in excellent physical condition. Plaza manager, Pat Saunders, tells us that another game is planned in a couple of weeks and the score will be different next time out ...! tains are Butch Coles from the Construction Department and Ed Lew from the Print Shop. The head office team feels so strongly about another upcoming baseball season that they would love to hear some challenges from not only Toronto teams but teams from other cities as well. They want to hear from you, soon! Everybody Somebody Anybody Nobody This is a story about four people: Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was asked to do _ it. Everybody was sure Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought Anybody would do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody, when actually Nobody asked Anybody. March/ April, 1982 17
