Dr. Bill Stanish of Dal- housie University in Halifax said national sports govern- ing bodies are responsible for drug-testing prior to the Games, which open Satur- day. “The medical staff here will be counselling athletes with information on mega- vitamins and that,” athletes get here, it's almost too late to do anything about banned substances.” The Canadian Olympic As. sociation does not want a re. peat of the controversy last year at the Pan-Am Games in Caracas, Venezuela, where three Canadian weightlifters were disqualified for using anabolic steroids. Other drugs banned by the International Olympic Com mittee includes narcotics and certain pain killers, decon gestants, cold pills, nose spray and eye drops. Canadian athletes, after selection, received from the Sports Medicine Council of Canada a package which con. tained information on doping SIXTH VICTORY control at the Olympics. PREVENT PACKAGE “There was information on what the athlete should be doing in terms of preventing putting themselves in a com- promising situation,” said chief therapist Clyde Smith of Vancouver. “It's not up to the medical staff here to police the situ- ation.” Stanish has visited the University of California-Los Angeles Medical Centre, where one of four existing labs in the world sanctioned by the IOC to conduct testing for banned drugs is located. “I've gone over the pro- cedure at UCLA and the technique of analysis is high ly sophisticated,” the doctor said. “There's row-upon-row of computers involved in this sort of thing.” Representatives of the In- ternational Amateur Athle- tics Association conducted random drug tests July 16 in Burnaby, an IAAF-sanction- ed international track and will be conducted at the 28rd Olympic Games under IOC regulations. The Canadian government indicated last year the min- imum penalty for athletes using banned drugs would be a one-year loss of federal funding for the first offence. Tigers on winning streak By The Canadian Press Lou Whitaker led off with a homer, then doubled, sin- gled and scored three runs Tuesday night. But he pre- ferred to talk about the per- formance of the new fellow to in for injured shortstop Alan Trammell, had four singles as Detroit won their sixth straight American “He (Baker) has done a real good job for us by playing steady defence while filling in for Alan,” Whitaker said. Until Tuesday, Baker had managed two hits in 35 at-bats as a temporary re placement for Trammell, who is expected to come off the disabled list Friday. The win, coupled with Toronto's 5-4 loss to Kansas City Royals, moved Detroit 11% games ahead of the second-place Blue Jays in the waukee Brewers 2, New York Yankees 1; Minnesota Castlegar athletes win medals One gold and one silver medal was won by Castlegar area residents at the B.C.

DeMille, might have balked at this one: a cast of 20,000, 100 pianos, pigeons and balloons by the thousands, a $7 million budget for two events that will be seen live by 98,000 people and perhaps a billion on television. Those are a few of the statistics for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Summer Olympic Games. The man in charge of all this is David Wolper, heretofore known as a producer of ies (The Making of the President), movies (The Devil's Brigade) and TV miniseries (Roots). Wolper, one of seven Los Angeles citizens who helped secure the Games, was asked by Peter Ueberroth, president of the Olympie Organizing Committee, to stage the cere monies. I said to myself, ‘Why not? " Wolper recalled. “After all, I had been making films for 35 years. Here was a new thrill for me.” The opening includes 17 acts from fanfare to exit. “I've got an opening east of 12,000 plus 7,500 athletes,” said the bearded producer. “Do you realize that every time I rehearse the 12,000, that means $36,000 for lunches — $3 per box! “And we ajso must have 12,000 costumes — more, in fact, because some of them have costume changes.” LOOKS TO PAST Wolper approached his task methodically, studying tapes of all the Olympic ceremonies since 1960. He also has seen six Olympic Games in person and in 1972 produced the official film, Visions of Eight. “The most spectacular opening was in Moscow four years ago, with 26,000 people,” he said. “The most emotional closing was at Mexico City in 1968. Everyone in the stadium was given a sombrero, and there were 1.000 mariachi players on the ae floor. “The g their sombr and the athletes were throwing ¢ them back. “We have a topper for our closing. We're going to stage the greatest light, laser and pyrotechnic finale ever seen. There will be more lasers in one place than ever before, and everything will be state-of-the-art.” PROMISES BEST Wolper aleo promises, “Our opening ceremony will be majestic, inspirational and enfotional. I think it will be more emotional than any of the others. If you had 10 goose bumps before, I promise you 20.” The cereshony logistics are stagging. One of the biggest challenges is to build an enérmous stage on the Coliseum floor — in the 18 hours following the last contest. Wolper insisted on two dress rehearsals by the construction crew “And I wouldn't settle for one dress rehearsal for the opening ceremonies,” he added. “I insisted on four run throughs before the dress rehearsal. At least ‘one of Wolper’s grandiose ideas had to be abandoned. He wanted 500 convertible cars on the Coliseum floor and have their tops retracted all at once to spell “Welcome to L.A.” The idea was dropped when he realized it would take an hour to drive the cars out of the area “When I do a bad show on television, the critics can write that Wolper stunk,” he mused. “But if we don't come through on the Olympics, the world is going to say, “The United States did a bad job.’ “Besides, people expect more from Hollywood.” Forsman most improved player The Kootenay Internation. The League's Coach of the al Senior Baseball League's winner of the Brian Pipes Award, which honors the KISBL's most improved play er, is Eddie Forsman of the Republic Black Tigers. Foresman rebounded from a dismal 1983 campaign, when as a rookie with the Grand Forks Slag Dusters, the curve-balling-southpaw failed to earn a victory while losing three times. His ‘88 earned run average was an inflated 14.00. The change of scenery to Republic this season was ob- viously the tonie the young left hander needed. While working more innings than any other pitcher on the by carving a lowly 3.44 ERA, fifth best in the KISBL. Year for 1984 and recipient of the Art Mercer Award is Don Szilagyi of the Trail Crown Point Orioles. In voting by the League's executive, Szilagyi received two first-place votes and one second place vote to capture the coaching honors and trophy. Under Szilagyi's leadership. the Orioles regis- tered a sizzling 18-2 regular season mark, best in the League this season and sec ond best in KISBL history Meanwhile, Republic pilot Steve Graham, who led a rookie studded Tiger roster to an impressive 12-8 record, finished a close second in the Coach of the Year voting. Al 80 receiving votes were Kel- owna skipper, Ken Burns and Beaver Valley field boss. Barry Babcock
