Phone 235-051 1 Calgary Herald Calgary, Alberta T2P3G4 8513-14-09 But he couldn't do it. The bottles weighed almost as much as he did. A little dejected, he moved on to a game where very few people ever win. The game entails lifting upright a bottle that lies flat on a small platform, by using a string with a ring at the end, attached to a stick. Because it was Kids' Day, the carny agreed to let the kid have two cracks for $1.

No luck there, either, as the bottle made it only halfway up each time before falling down. "That was really tough," Karl complained. Then it was on to the Birthday Game, where players drop 50 cents on their favorite month of the year, roll a block and, if that month comes up, he's a winner. There's no skill involved here. Grandma decided to get in on this game as well.

Karl, whose birthday is in February, opted to bet on that month, while Grandma dropped her coins on January. With all eyes on Karl, the carny gave him the block to toss into a box. "There you go, little guy, give it a whirl," the carny barked into a By Ron Collins (Herald staff writer) Thousands of kids flocked to Stampede Park Wednesday to take advantage of discounted Childrens' Day prices. But most of the kids found the midway games tough to win at, even though some of the carnies were offering bargain basement prices. At random, The Herald chose nine-year-old Karl Harrison to test his skills on the midway.

"How would you like $20 to play whatever midway games you want?" Karl was asked. Karl, who lives in Edmonton and is visiting the Stampede with his grandmother, Elizabeth Harrison, jumped at the idea. "Sure!" Karl exclaimed excitedly. The first stop on the trip through the midway strip saw Karl try his skill at the "Pop one balloon and you win" game. "Can I try this one?" Karl begged.

"You can try what ever you want," a reporter told him. Because it was Kids' Day, the carny at the booth decided to give Karl three darts for $2. The game usually costs $1 a dart. Taking careful aim, "pop" went a balloon and the boy's face lit up. Karl's next two shots, however, were off the mark.

For popping one balloon, Karl received a small plastic baseball cap that wouldn't fit his head. Anxious to win more and not worried about spending money, Karl worked his way down the centre of the midway, examining his plastic cap with a wide grin on his face. Little did the youngster know he was about to be disappointed on the rest of the games. For $1, he decided to try a game that required little skill but lots of luck. To win, a player must throw a soft-ball off a red square so that it drops into a basket below.

Karl's ball hit the square alright, but it went nowhere near the basket. He moved on while briefly taking off his cowboy hat to scratch his head. His eyes scanning the scores of midway games, with their barking carnies, the youngster decided to try his luck at knocking over four weighted milk bottles with two softballs for $1. With one toss of the block, Karl made Grandma a winner, and she walked away with a small stuffed Vy. "That's yours," Karl said, as he glanced at Grandma's prize before quickly heading on to another game.

After unsuccessfully trying to win at other various games, including the basketball toss, trying to break plates and lightbulbs with a ball and water race games, Karl found he was out of money. A mere half-hour and $20 later, all Karl had to show for his efforts was the plastic baseball cap and of course the stuffed toy that Grandma was able to win. "Some of the games are pretty hard," Karl said afterwards, glaring up from beneath his cowboy hat. "I thought some of them were just too difficult," the Grade 3 pupil said, adding he had expected to win more. But he said he was quite content to win the baseball cap.

It was Karl's first trip to Calgary's big show. Ask how he liked it, he replied: "It's OK." Grandma bought Karl an ice cream cone, and they were off to watch the cowboys in the afternoon rodeo. metro Canada Chilling stunts thrill audiences limited INVITATION TO TENDER Metro Canada Limited, a subsidiary of the Urban Transportation Development Corporation, has a contract with B.C.

John Montgomery Secretary-Treasurer 008990-07 "We talked Dad into buying it," said Jerri Duce-Phillips, who is also nine times Canadian barrel racing champion.

"Then we bought a book called 144 Ways to Break your Neck, by Frank Dean, we'd seen advertised in the Western Horseman magazine." Coming from a rodeo family, the girls' parents supported them. Their mother Rose has been making them costumes "since we were knee high to a grasshopper," said Jerri. Joy and Jerri learned by trial and error. Not the recommended way to learn, admitted Jerri. "We'd try things out.

If we took a wreck, then we tried it a different way." Despite their somewhat suicidal way of earning a living, neither girl has suffered a severe injury. In the suicide drag, Joy hangs upside down and lets her hands drag on the ground. "If the horse stumbles, the first thing you hit is your head," said Joy. "I've had a few concussions and I think Jerri broke a bone in her ankle once," said the competitive barrel racer, who has qualified for the Canadian Finals Rodeo several times. According to Jerri, "trust is a big thing" with a trick horse.

Riders cannot control their horse when they do their stunts. They just place the rein over the horse's neck and let him run, hopefully around a long rope held by volunteers in the centre of the arena. By Judy Walters (Herald staff writer) With horses galloping at full speed, the brightly-costumed trick riders make everything seem easy as they romp around the Calgary Stampede infield in a thrilling daredevil acrobatic show. The team of four lithe trick riders, with their yellow, purple, blue, and red sequinned costumes and matched palomino horses, thrill Stampede audiences daily with death-defying stunts. First, Joy does a flying hippodrome, standing in the saddle, waving to the crowd.

Then Jerri does a back bend. She tucks her feet in the strap draped over the front of PJ's saddle, arches her back and grabs the handles at back of the saddle. Leo does a shoulder stand, holding onto the 10-cm-high steel horn and hanging upside down off the side of his horse, Buddy. Kelly does a Stroud layout, holding herself horizontal to the ground alongside her horse, Dove. The flying Duce sisters, Joy and Jerri, from Granum and Carseland respectively, have teamed up with Kelly King and Leo Gouch, both of Vulcan, for the JLK Troupe trick riding performances.

Jerri trained Gouch, who in turn taught King. The Duce sisters have been trick riding since "we were seven and nine years old." Their career began when the girls saw a trick riding saddle at a Calgary horse sale. Finding that dream home is easy. Look through the Herald's Real Estate section six days a week. It will put the city at your fingertips.
