Justice Johh Bouck ruled that the Canada Interest Act allows a: mortgage with a term longer than five years to be paid off, with a penalty of three months worth of in- terest. The ruling was won. by Robert Edward Lynch, whose $81,125, 12-per-cent mortgage on a strata lot was renewed in 1981 at 18 per cent. The judge decided ‘the Canada Interest Act allows Lynch to borrow money ‘at current rates to settle the mortgage, as long as he pays the interest penalty. ~ “Any mortgagor may pay off his mortgage in accord- ance with Section 10 of the Interest Act, where the in- terval from the date of the mortgage to the date it be-- comes due is more than five. years,” his ruling sai iS Lynch signed his original mortgage on Aug. 6, 1976. It was due Sept. 1, 1981. On Sept. 4, 1981; it was extended until Sept. 1, 1986. : The new interest rate — 18 per cent — raised Lynch's monthly payments to $459.87 from $821.18. ° The company that issued the mortgage, Citadel Life Assurance Co., argued that the term of the extended mortgage — from Septem- . ber, 1981, to August, 1988 — was less. than five years, making Lynch ineligible to pay it off.’ if However, Justice Bouck said the 1981 modification agreement didnot create a new mortgage. : “What the parties intended to do was to preserve the original mortgage of 6th August, 1976, while altering the rate of interest,” | - Cory two bedroom home Close to ‘downtown orea.

The rough has grown un- commonly high because of England's wet spring and hot summer. “I don't think it’s fair,” Trevino said. “I like rough, but it’s not fair that a man who hits the ball three feet off line should be penalized as much as a man who hits it 50 feet off line. “It's the same all round Soviets a + emer INE OTE 1 Darrel Bojechko, Rob Dunn, Rick Ogloff, Aaron Stoushnow, front row: Marni Knowler, Karen Evin, Sally Quintanilha and Rowena Junker.

He and ck Nicklaus, who has played in three Opens here, agreed on one thing — no- body will use the driver much this week.

Rebels president Jim Cor- bett said in an interview Tuesday Ralph Tassone and brother Bruno will be coach- ing the team this year. Last year's co-coach Ron Rebelato, will manage the team. Ralph has coached for sev- eral years in Castlegar Minor By The The topsy-turvy National League East has taken an- other twist, and this time Philadelphia Phillies are back on top. The Phillies, who led the division for most of May, re- gained first place from Mon- treal Expos on Tuesday night by sweeping a two-night doubleheader from Atlanta Braves. : Philadelphia won the opener in solid fashion 4-1, but then had to rally for three Atlanta go ahead in the eighth inning of the night- cap, raced-home with the winning run when Braves second baseman Glenn Hub- bard threw away a potential inning-ending, double-play relay.

Bruno has experience as an ex-Rebel and “the executive thought he could bring a great deal of practical experience to the team,” Corbett noted. In other news, the Rebels are hoping to get the services of Jim Pilla in holding their training camp in early Sep- tember. Pilla, an experienced junior B hockey coach, coached Quesnel Millionaires.

Corbett said the change was made because of econ- omics and other difficulties Spokane was having in trav- elling to the East Kootenays. He said the Spokane team found it very difficult to leave for the East by Friday noon for Friday night games be- cause of the fact that many players are college students. Also at the meeting Cor- bett pressed for as many Thursday night games at home as possible. He said Thursday was statistically the best drawing night last year.

The decision dropped Azzurra, under the guidance of Cino Ricci, to 5-4, left their mark on Games By ROSS HOPKINS CP Sports Editor EDMONTON (CP) — The 12th World University Games, beset by controversy and marred by tragedy, will be remembered for many things. The second-largest mutliple-sport competition this country has ever staged — next to the "76 Summer Olympics in Montreal — was dominated by the Soviet Union, which decimated the opposition in practically every event~it entered. In gymnastics, the Soviets captured golds in 10 of 14 events. In swimming, they were 22 for 29. Swimmer Irina Laricheva and gymnast Natalia Yurchenko were the big winners, taking five gold medals apiece. But the Russian on everyone's mind as the 11-day competition drew to a close was Sergei Shlibashvili. The 21-year-old diver remains unconscious and in critical condition with massive head injuries after striking his head on the 10-metre tower attempting an intricate dive Saturday night. He fell motionless, feet first, into the pool, blood streaming from his head. From a Canadian standpoint, the most memorable scene of the Games may well have come Saturday night as men’s basketball coach Jack Donohue, held aloft by his admiring players, made the final cut to release the netting from the rim after Canada defeated Yugoslavia in the gold-medal match, In the final medal count, the Soviet Union amassed 59 gold, 29 silver and 27 bronze. The United States, with a late-kick finish, won 12 gold, 22 silver and 21 bronze. DOUBLES COUNT Canada was next with nine gold, 10 bronze and 19 bronze — more than double its previous best medal count of 16 in 1977 at Sofia, Bulgaria. The Americans did not send their top athletes, opting to concentrate their efforts on the Pan-American Games next month in Caracas. The Soviets, meanwhile, failed to send either.of their basketball teams, or their women’s volleyball squad, claiming those athletes were tied up with the national sports festival, Spartakiade. The Venezuelans sent a men's volleyball team, but it was disqualified after playing two games for failure to produce the necessary eligibility papers. Competitors must be between 17 and 28 years of age and can be out of school no more than one year. Games officials had anticipated that close to 5,000 athletes from 90 countries would attend. In the end, 3,700 athletes from 76 countries were in the athletes’ village. Organizers weren't the only ones affected by the turmoil. Spectators on Opening Day showed up at noon for what was to be the preliminaries of the hammer throw — only to discover that the round had been scrapped due to insufficient entries and that they had five hours to wait before the first event. The men's basketball and volleyball championship games attracted crowds of about 12,000. However, atten- dance at track and field competition was poor, with the 60,000-seat Commonwealth Stadium seldom more than one-third full. NIGERIA PRODUCTIVE From a percentage standpoint, Nigeria was the most productive country. Its 10-member contingent, all in track and field, captured five gold medals. Canada's top individual performers were swimmer Alex Baumann of Sudbury, Ont., and tennis player Jill Hetherington of Peterborough, Ont. Baumann missed a pair of world records by a total of six one-hundredths of a second in winning both the 200- and 400-metre individual medleys. Hetherington teamed with Karen Kewis of London, Ont., and then with Bill Jenkins of Saskatoon to win the women's an dmixed doubles titles, respectively, Canada’s first medals in tennis competition at the Games. The Canadian swim team put on a credible showing, collecting three golds, one silver and 10 bronze, and bettering two Canadian and Commonwealth records. They missed the final of only one event. Mike West of Waterloo, Ont., grabbed Canada’s other. swimming gold, winning the men's 100 backstroke. Dave Steen of Toronto overcame a wrenched ankle to win the decathlon and set a Canadian record in the process. The injury required special taping for each of the five competitions run Sunday in the two-day event. It marked the first time Canada has ever garnered two golds at one universiade. Earlier in the competition, Guillaume Leblanc of Sept.-Iles, Que., won the 10-kilometre walk, despite having to stop during the race to have a bowel movement. The Canadian gymnasts put on a good show, winning four medals, including a gold by Phillipe Chartrand of Laval, Que., who was a last-minute addition to the team, in the men’s horizontal bar event.
