This year, the loudest complaints have involved disputed goals — or non-goals. And some hockey executives are calling for the use of video replays.

Stan Hoffman said the Hearns camp had until Friday noon to respond to the offer under the schedule set by IBF officials. Should Hearns agree, the championship bout would take place within 90 days of the contract signing, Hoffman said from New York. Prentice Byrd, vice-president of Escot Boxing Enter- prises Inc., which manages the Detroit boxing stable where Hearns trained, said: “We have no problem fighting Olajide, believe me.” Buy Byrd refused further comment, saying only that Hearns would havea “major announcement” within 10 days. JIHF considers Finnish VIENNA (GP) — Thd Int ernational Ice Hockey: Fed eration was considering to day whether to forfeit West Germany's two victories at the world hockey tournament because of the alleged use of an illegal player. A source with the Team Canada delegation said he talked Tuesday night with IIHF president Gunther Sab- etzki and was told he had de- cided to strip West Germany of its two wins: 3-1 on Mon day over Finland and 5-3 Tuesday over Canada. The points would be awarded the two losing teams and West Germany would be relegated to the world B pool. The player in question is Miroslav Sikora. The Finns lodged a protest after their loss to West Ger- many that Sikora was inel- igible, maintaining he played for Poland at the 1977 world protest junior totrnament in Czech- oslovakia. IIHF. rules state a player who has competed for one country at the senior or junior world tournaments cannot then play for another country. West German officials maintain they have a letter from the IIHF approving the use of Sikora. PRESENTS PROOF The letter, however, was not signed by Sabetzki and Kalervo Kummola, president of the Finnish Hockey League, said proof against Sikora was presented Tues- day to Sabetzki. If West Germany is strip- ped of its wins, it would shake up the standings at the world tournament and put Canada in a strong position to qualify for the medal round.

DECLARED VACANT Hagler also held the IBF championship belt but the title was declared vacant after the bout because Leonard was not ranked by the IBF, one of three world sanctioning bodies in boxing. Hearns is ranked No. 1 among middleweight contenders by the IBF while Olajide is No. 2. Hoffman said he and Olajide were awaiting a response from Hearns’s handlers about the bid from the Garden, which co-promotes Olajide, a native of Vancouver training out of New York.

Due to ii ibil B.C., speaks to Kootenay area nurses about the legal system ata recent nurse to the proceedings, she said. During her talk, Little presented an actual case and had nurses “role play” it to rs Kootenays gathered for a district dinner in Castlegar April 8. Little, a former Castlegar resident, now is employed by the RNABC in Vancouver as a nursing prac- tice advisor. The district dinner was held to help celebrate the RNABC’s 75th anniversary and to look ahead to the future of nursing. Little noted that nurses in ities and technological ad- vances in nursing, Little said nurses are being summoned more frequently to testify at trials and inquests. If a nurse does become in- volved in a trial or inquest, the nurse's professional as- sociation will supply guid- ance and support and, if needed, an RNABC repre- sentative will accompany the what it can be like to be asked to testify at a trial or inquest. Little gave many pointers of how to cor- rectly document nursing care that is given and how to pre- pare for testifying at a trial or inquest. Jill Peregrym, a nursing instructor at Selkirk College, was also presented to the group of nurses as a can- didate for district director on the RNABC board. Balfour elected as ministerial president By MORLEY SOLTYS Charles Balfour was elec. ted president of the Castle. gar Ministerial Association at the Association's regular monthly meeting. Morley Soltys was elected secretary and Jim Ferrier treasurer. Nine ministers attended the meeting, held in the St. Peter Lutheran Church. The meeting started with devotions by host pastor Glen Backus, who shared from the book of Phil. 2:5-11 and then led in prayer. After the minutes were read, a number of items were discussed at some length. The hospital committee gave a review of its written prop- osal for hospital chaplaincy and what still needs to be done in the area of hospital ministry. A handout was given to each minister regarding a community project Colin Pryce introduced a few months ago. Pastor Morley Soltys shared briefly about what is happening with Castlegar Christian youth fellowship in May. At the Full Gospel Fel lowship May 22 there will be an Inter-Church Youth Rally featuring local talent, a sing- song, a film entitled A Long Way Home, and fellowship.

The meeting continued with discussion of Welcome Wagon church brochure, the provincial commission in Castlegar regarding alcohol consumption and _privitiza. tion of liquor sales. Ministers were encouraged to attend and take a stand against what the province has proposed. SunFest was next on the agenda, followed by the Vocational Bible school schedule. Ministerial meetings were discussed and pastors shared views on the monthly meet- ings, and made several sug gestions. A motion was made that no monthly meeting be planned during the summer months, December and April; and that ministers have social meetings once in a while with wives and fam. ily. The meeting closed with information on the financial statement, and the pro-life prayer vigil on Mother's Day. i Congratulations Kevin Kerfoot Gary Maloney congratulates Kevin Kerfoot, the winner of this boat, motor and trailer.
