SPORTS FOUR ACES No stranger ‘to leading ORCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) — In defence of his U.S. Open title, Curtis Strange would like to say: Birdie, bir die, eagle, birdie, birdie, birdie and, oops, bogey That just about says it all, even though the ‘oops’ cost him a share of the U.S. Open scoring record for one round. While most of the first-round leaders fell by the wayside on a rainy day at Oak Hill, Strange charged to the front after tWo rounds with a 6-under par 64 that equalled the cqprse record. Trying to become the first man-since Ben Hogan in 1950 and °51 to win con secutive Opens, Strange went to 5 under-par 135 after an opening 71 and led Tom Kite by one stroke going into the third round “1 admit | was a lot calmer than | thought | would be defending the Open,”’ Strange said. “But I ain’t going to be’ so calm the rest of the es ___ CLOSE DOES COUNT. . .

None of the four was in serious con- tention, though. Strange saw to that with a round that equalled the course mark set in 1942 by Hogan. Strange’s round included an eagle-3 on the 570-yard, par-5 fourth when he holed a wedge from 115 years. He didn’t have a bogey until the par-4 17th, when he put his second shot into a greenside bunker **When that thing went in from 115 years, | knew 4 wasn’t far from the lead,”’ said Strange, who won the Open last year at Brookline, Mass., in a playoff with Nick Faldo.

The report isn’t expected for weeks ahd the plan may not be implemented before the soccer season, which starts in August. The plan is aimed at combatting soccer fan violence, but opponents say it will do nothing to stop fighting outside stadiums, where most of the trouble occurs. Lion wants Cup ring COURTENAY, B.C. (CP) — David Williams thinks about diamonds — not the National Football League — while he toils at the B.C. Lions training camp Williams was the CFL's outstanding player last year and wants only one award this season: the Grey Cup and the ring that goes with it “It’s a big ring with diamonds and, since | already have a Schenley Award, it’s all I want,” the lanky wide receiver said between catching passes. Other teams will pay more attention to Williams this season and he knows he will be looking at increased coverage “This is where my teammates will come in,” he said. ‘They can all catch the ball, so if they double me up, seven months to go,” he said. ‘AIL I¢m someone else will be open.” looking at now is a Grey Cup who Head coach Larry Donovan admits knows, down the road I may be Williams will have a tougher time get- ting open this season. But, if he con- tinues to work hard improving his skills as a receiver, said Donovan, it won't matter how many people try to stop him. “He has the speed and ability to find the open spot,’ Donovan said, “‘and that’s what makes a great receiver.”” Williams, 25, is in the option year in his two-year contract with the Lions He brushes aside repeated questions about the possibility of playing in the NFL next season. “I’m not worrying about next year because this is right now and I still have looking at family."’ The NFL is not far out of mind, however, because Williams quickly acknowledges he would gladly answer questions about it after the season, particularly about the different salary scales. Drafted in the second-round by the Chicago Bears in 1986 after playing at the University of Llinois, Williams failed to impress coach Mike Ditka. Following a brief tryout with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Williams played for the Los Angeles Raiders during the NFL players strike in 1987 before signing on with the Lions Two weeks ago Helen Dunlop, Bunny and I atten- ded the British. Columbia Heritage Conference in Kelowna. The theme was Heritage and Tourism — A Delicate Balance, and it was a good conference, and Bunny, as Castlegar's voting delegate, will publish a report later after our AGM on June 15. Somewhere in the future when we have grown a lit- \tle more, I envision Castlegar with its central location as the host of such conference. With this in mind and with an invitation to offer constructive criticism, | prepared this open letter for present and future conference chairmen. Nothing in it is new, just ongoing. It reads as follows: For over 50 years I have been going to conferences. Conferences of every shape, size, description and in- tent. They all had a thousand points of difference. They had two common laments: “This is most unusual weather for ...’” and ‘I'm afraid we're running a little late There’s not much we can do about the weather There is a lot that we can do about a prodigal waste of time and we should Ideally, conferences should be an opportunity for a meeting of minds, a sharing of knowledge, concernsand experience, an opportunity to solve some of the problems that bedevil us all in a supportive and friendly environment Toachieve this, or at least some reasonable fraction of it, requires that the organizers come up with a clearly defined objective for the conterencf and stick to it, and that the delegates keep in mind that’a conference is like a hen house, for scratching and laying eggs, nota fence on which to crow and make the sun rise. It will anyway It follows, therefore, that the conterence chair man, realizing that he must, like Caesar's wife, be not only virtuous but be seen to be virtuous, delegates the difficult responsibility of time-keeping and saving to someone else — an official time-keeper. He will then see Ever Wonder How Someone Could be at the Golf Course at 7 a.m. & Not Leave ‘til 10 p.m.? The Clubhouse of the main objectives of the heritage movement 1s to In- volve people, more people, and that people crave, more than anything else, some semblance of recognition. It would follow then that if the awards system were given a broader and more equitable base, more people would be involved If the categories for Heritage Week, for example were broadened to small, medium and large groups there would be more incentive to become involved and compete and greater spin-off in community par- ticipation and good publicity. John Charters Reflections and recollections Annual awards would also seem to favor large, well-funded professional organizations to the detriment of smaller groups with limited budgets. For the judges it must be like comparing lemons and grapefruits. Why not have two categories at least, one for the mainly professional groups and one for the mainly amateur. The present system leads to elitism and sterility. A revised criteria would be far easier and allow more equitable judgments as well What has happened to Honorable Mentions?

The only person with vocal cords of sufficient strength to make himself heard above a conference clamor would be a regiment-of guards sergeant major and I have never met one at acon ference. Then the chairman, havir 5 made certain that he, the time-keeper and all delegates had a list of all speakers and their scheduled time of speaking, anf secure in the knowledge that a certain fraction of pegple are never on time and that speakers had checked their equipment well inadvance, would call the meeting to order — on time and enjoy the show There is order underlying chaos if you look for it Thus, if in a ‘show and tell’’ period, each speaker had 10 minutes, six in which to speak and four to clear away or set up, six people would have an equal speaking op: portunity within|the given hour If I didn’t want to hear speakers A and B but just had to hear what speaker C had to say I could come into the room during the interval, having used the time saved to speak to an earlier lecturer, arrange an assignation or have acup of coffee while sorting out my notes The speaker, for his part, would have to give careful thought to what he was going to say in his six minutes. If he felt that it was,essential to use the time to recite the first 25 stanzas of the Rubyat of Omar Khayyam in the original Persian, that would be his privilage. 1 would not be forced to attend the reading We have printing and duplicating facilities as never before in history. Why then could not each speaker, or the main ones at least, have his or her address reduced to note form with double spaces and wide margins for making marginal jotting and grabbing associated thoughts or memorable quips. Conference program planners should follow the travellers creed, that is, take half as much clothing (or speeches) as you think you will need and twice as much money (available interval time for consultations, evaluations and AGM, as well as bathroom and beverages). The assigned time is invariably violated in ainy case and encourages more of the same. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS Awards. Voltaire said that God is for the big bat talions. The same would seem to apply to the selection of award winners. It has been noted repeatedly that one encouragement and recognition for some of the better also-rans. Such an award might not mean much to the City of Upper Pooba (pop. 300,000) but it would be a tremendous feather in the cap of the citizens of Little Puddle (pop. 300). Economical, too. PRESENTATION OF AWARDS Then comes the presentation of awards. It can be lengthy or lean It is also another public relations document and people encourager. | would suggest, therefore, that alist of the winning organizations or groups to which the winner belongs be drawn up in alphabetical order, with the criterion for each or a summary account of the achievement All those attending the conference would receive a copy. On the awards night, one slide would be flashed on the screen, the chairman would call up the person to receive the award and the entire operation, including handshake, picture and response would be complete in two minutes per person. Everybody would have something to take home, to compare and to publicize. Accomodation. It has been suggested that where hotel accomodation is in short supply or even where it isn’t, that billeting or bed and breakfast be considered I think that it is an excellent idea for two reasons One, hotels, though fine for meetings and group meals, tend to isolate and insulate the visitory from the community. There is therefore little contact or cross fer tilization, little opportunity for meeting of new people and little for the selling of the heritage concept 10 anyone but the already converted. Two, it spreads the financial benefits to a wider public thereby creating a more receptive public and better publicity We have come along way from the physical and mental training under Greek and Roman oratorical schools: The microphone has done little to cure inate verbal diarrhea and intellectual and vocal laziness. Julius Caesar’s report on his victor#in 47 B.C. over Pharnaces, King of Pontus, ** Veni, Vidi, Vici’’ (I came; I saw, | conquered) may be a bit too succinct even for the most critical ‘show and teller.”* Nevertheless, we can take several valuable pages from their notebooks to our considerable improvement The dictionary defines a conference as ‘a discussion or consultation on some important matter In conclusion, the best example of this economy of time was given at the Kelowna Conference in an address to the assembly by Dr. Colin Campbell and the sum- mary up by Mary Beth Bayer.
