FOR THOSE OF YOU who aren't aware, petanque will be featured at this summer’s World Games in Birmingham, AL, with Bekah Howe, of Port Townsend, WA, and Janice Bissonnette, of Fresno, CA. representing the USA. They will be competing in a doubles tournament and a precision shooting contest against top-notch teams including women from France, Belgium, Canada and Thailand. Team USA was selected from participants at the Women’s World Games trials last September in Sonoma, CA. Bekah and Janice came in first and second, respectively, with Juanita Celix and Ghia Yang coming in third and fourth, thus acting as the alternates. Our intrepid reporter, Bleys Rose, spoke with Janice and Bekah earlier this year.
