Locals head to karate provincials

28 February 2001

The karate provincial meet was held in Virden, Man. and eight members of the local club attended the competition.
In the men’s white/yellow division, John Sutton placed third in Kata. Angela Brown, who competed in the ladies’ white/yellow, finished second in Kumite and Kata.
In the ladies’ orange/green event, Cheryl Gellately took first in Kumite and second in Kata. Laureen Pinder finished second in Kumite in the brown belt event.
In the first-degree black belt, Lew Kempf had a second place finish in Kumite and a third in Kata. Chris Bazinet finished first in Kumite and second in Kata in the second- and third-degree black belt event.
The highlight of the weekend wasn’t all the wins, it was when Dennis Labbe (an eighth-degree black belt) ran an advanced clinic Friday night and then judged the meet Saturday.
