The Trail Babe Ruth Baseball World Series Organiz- ing Committee, consisting of, Dan Ashman, Doug Stanley, Eleanor Gattafoni-Robinson, Don Tuline and Brian Pipes, held a press conference Monday morning to officially announce that Trail will be bidding for the prestigious Babe Ruth World Series. “If our bid is successful, it will be the first time that this event has been staged outside the United States,” said Brian Pipes, who admitted that what was once considered “little more than a dream” two years ago is pal government, the business community and the public,” said Pipes. The organizing committee can already count on Trail City Council, according to Trail Mayor Sandy Santori. “We wholeheartedly support this endeavor and hope the residents of Trail will do so as well. Trail City Council sees this as a prestigious event that will increase our image as a sporting community,” said San- tori The cost for putting on such an event could mount to more than $52,000 Canadian. And although Santori said the city would be prepared to help with such a cost, the organizing committee is hopeful that this See WORLD SERIES 2a Council supports long-awaited RCMP. program SHARLENE IMHOFF Sun Editor Castlegar City Council has voted the City of Castlegar put the local RCMP on hold.

SHSS Principal, David Hogg, who was accompanied by Vice-Principal, Jack Closkey, requested the board's support of proposed disciplinary measures towards students who are involved in violent activity. “Is Stanley Humphries unsafe?

While addressing the board, the secondary school principal said that the prob- lem of violence is not unique to Stanley Humphries, ‘but instead, is a community prob- lem. "We've come here to ask what can we do, and how can you support us? The most expedient way to deal with this problem is by increasing the penalty.” Hogg then proceeded to lay out a disciplinary plan for students who become involved in violence during school hours.
