Lorne McIntosh strides up to a lane and confidently tosses his first bowling ball in months at the Elk Club bowling lanes in Kimberley, B.C.
His ball careens down the shiny wooden lane right on target and knocks down several pins.
“That was good for the first ball of the year,” says McIntosh. “That was a spare.”
Teenagers gather the pins at the end of the lane and replace them for the next ball. The 70-year-old bowling alley still employs human pin-setters — the last one in Canada to do so.
