MOOK LETTE. > Page 8B Teo BC TEL Mobility touches all the bases The Castlegar Sun eb E THINK BABE RUTH would have approved. BC TEL Mobility is bringing cellular to the West Kootenays with a Grand Slam that will bring Trail, Nelson and Castelgar home in-quick succession this week, with Grand Forks crossing the plate before June 15. And there’s more hits coming. Why the hurry? Well, for one thing, we're a proud sponsor of The Babe Ruth World Series later this summer. We wanted to make sure our cellular and paging networks were up in plenty of time to help the event orga- nizers and volunteers with the mil- lion (or so) things they have to do before the Series begins. A cellular phone can save you a lot of running around. In fact, our people are busy building new sites in locations all over the West and East Kootenays. Creston will be covered before the first World Series pitch is thrown at Butler Park in August, and we’ll have new cellular coverage all the way up the Columbia Valley from Cranbrook to Radium this summer, too. All of which makes this a great time to drop into a BC TEL Mobility dealer and ask about our money-saving airtime plans. You'll be surprised how affordable cellular has become. And don’t forget to take your BC TEL Mobility phone along when you hit the road. You'll have the widest cellular coverage by far in British Columbia and the rest of Canada (npt to mention thousands of places across North America, South America and Australia). Best of all, you can use it in Butler Park in August when a World Series game goes to extra innings. Don’t run home. Call home. Tell ‘em to come on down for some excitement. We'll see you there.

The Pass Creek Recreation Commission is upgrading the old Pass Creek Ball Park on sSoukeroff Road. The commission ame Spearheaded a clean-up re was just an incredible “We're trying to clean it up so we can have it as a Voykin said ‘area youths have been using the area for drinking parties, includ ing the Pa: Creék “annual”, a large-scale outdoor party. She said residents tried to halt the parties by putting up a locked gate and digging a ditch at the entrance, but young people man- aged to get into the park anyway. Voykin and the rest of the commission hope the work they are doing on the ball field will prevent further parties. “We're trying to stop it,” she said. “In this area we could use more ball fields.” Last week Kalesnikoff Lumber Co. donated machinery and an operator to level the old ball field. “The ball field that we had there wasn’t that great,” explained Voykin. She said a grader donated by Atco Lumber Co. will put the fin- ishing touches on the field in the next few weeks. “Hopefully, we can get some grass in there, some benches and a backstop.” Voykin said the commission would eventually like to have two ball fields and perhaps a soc- cer field on the property. “There is enough room for two fields,” Voykin said, adding that tournaments could then be ‘Hopefully we can get held there. some grass in there, some benches and a backstop’ — SHERRY VOYKIN fundraising “It's got a lot of potential.” The commis- sion has a num- ber of Pass Creek events planned Recreation Commission ‘0 help offset costs with the new fields. A flea market and kids’ carnival will be held June 17 at Pass Creek Hall. “We've been on a Shoestring budget,” says Voykin. The commission has been active lately, with the develop- ment of an outdoor rink at the Pass Creek-Firehall over the win- ter. Last month the commission received approval from the Castlegar school board to use the Pass Creek gymnasium begin- ning in September. Voykin said money raised from the flea market will be used to help purchase equipment for the ball field and for use in the gym. Lots of information What is on the Internet?
