Playing for the right to represent Zone 1 at the B.C. Summer Games, the girls were blown off the map in a 21-11 loss to Cranbrook at Kinsmen Park and bics, well, a bunch of people cramming five pounds of jello into one Pound bags and jiggling it up and down to the soothing tones of M.C. Hammer. Aero- bics isn't sports, it's art! At least that's what I used to think, It’s an old argument, which games, activities et cetera constitute sport and which do not. I used to count myself among those inclined to believe that thingajJike syn- chronized swimming, frisbee and mud wrestling aren't legitimate sports — physical diversions yes, interesting time wasters, perhaps. But certainly not sports in the classic sense. not a mascu- line versus feminine debate. I said I used to think that way. That was until I read the definition of sport in my dog-eared and world-weary copy of Webster's. It changed everything I ever thought about Sports. From that definition, basi- cally everything, including, say, things like sex (which was on'the borderline anyway depending on who you talk to), marbles and magic tricks, are included as legitimate sports. It just depends on how you classify them. Here’s the definition: SPORT: 1. An amusing or interesting pastime: diver- sion. 2. A physical activity, esp. one with a set form and body of rules. 3. Jest: mock- ery (As in made sport of his discomfort), 4. One who accepts an outcome, especial- ly an adverse one, with grace, (As in a good sport). 5. One who leads a fast, extravagant life. 6, A genetic mutation. Well now, that explains a It’s easy to tell that things like football, tennis and golf fit into definition No. 2, while under the genetic mutation category go activities like midget tossing and frozen turkey bowling. It also explains how Juan Baloney Salmonbread, or whoever that guy is who heads up the International Olympic C. and his in the deciding game of a bizarre best two-out-of-three series. Christina Evdokimoff pitched all three games for Castlegar which, instead of going to the Games, will be the Kootenay entry in the C Provincials July 5-7 in Langley. In the only game that went the full seven innings, Castlegar issued 10 walks, couldn’t figure out Cranbrook’s pitching and was nailed on the basepaths several times in a 7-3 series | Wild day at park leaves team empty the deciding game, it was Castlegar begging for mercy as Cranbrook put together a 14-run inning of its own in the second and won the series going away. Castlegar coach John Kalesnikoff said he didn’t know from game to game which team would show up against Cran- brook. “We were like a real Jekyl and Hyde out there,” he said. “I was kind of disappointed, for the girls. They had such a good time in the Games last year. They were really geared up to go again,” said Kalesnikoff, who coached the bantams to a fourth-place finish at the annual games held in Prince George last year. The Bantam’s rounded out the weekend with a similar performance in a pair of exhibition games Sunday i Trail winning 12-2 in opener loss Saturday ig Three hours later, Castlegar looked like the fastball equivalent of the Toronto Blue Jays scoring 14 runs in the fourth inning on the way to an 18-5 win in five innings after the mercy rule was invoked. (The mercy rule is invoked after five innings if one team has a lead of seven or more runs.) Then, just two hours later in By CasNews Staff The Castlegar Friendship Cup of soccer will reside in Beaver Valley for a year. Beaver Valley teams left town with the rights to the cup Saturday after winning the two- city annual tournament five games to four over Castlegar minor soccer teams in games at Twin Rivers elementary school. The tourney’s turning point came in the under-10 division where the Castlegar Gold were beatén twice in games against the Beaver Valley Shooters and Hotspurs. All the other Castlegar teams in-the tourney split their respective series while the under-14 division Castlegar X- Men did their part beating league rival Hustlers 2-1. Craig Swanson and Robert Case scored for the X-Men in the win. In the under-12 division, the Castlegar Tornado and Kickers both lost opening games then rebounded with wins. The Tornado lost 4-1 to the Dragons while the Kickers lost to the Flames 2-1 in their openers. But in the second games, the teams exchanged pals — who, by the way, fit under definition No. 5 — decide which sports should be in the Olympics. It would explain why they give out Olympic medals for things like the aforemen- tioned synchronized swim- It doesn't explain, howev- er, why there's no Olympic sanction of baseball or golf. Maybe they just haven't got- ten around to it yet. And it also brings up some interesting possibilities for future of sport. By that definition we are — two-pack-a-day smokers and couch-potato guzzle guts included — all athletes. Poten- tially Olympic calibre ath- at that. Given the circumstances, I stand corrected, aerobics is sport. But then so is Trivial Pursuit, beer drinking and needlepoint.

Meanwhile, the peewee girls team will play Montrose in a two-out-of-three, home-and- home series starting Sunday in Montrose to determine which team will represent the West Kootenay at the C Provincials. The winner will go to Campbell River for the Provincials July 5-7. Friendship Cup gets a new owner handling the Dragons 2-1. Ryan Leckie led the Tornado with a hat trick in the win and the’ only goal in the team’s loss. Mario Duarte set up Leckie twice and scored one of his own in the win over the Flames. For the Kickers it was Ryan Fontes scoring once in each game while John Pucci scored in the win over the Dragons. Ryan Wenger and Evin Barry picked up assists on the goals.

Castlegar Aquanauts Swim Club coaches We 22 -23 in Nelson. Aquanauts aiming high By MILLS Staff Writer It’s a different season but much remains the same for Tom Carew, Wendy Pilla and the Castlegar Aquanauts Swim Club. So much is unchanged, in fact, stability might be the club’s biggest asset. Carew, 23, is returning for his third year as head coach and Pilla, 20, for her second year as assistant. Together they account for over 20 years experience as swimmers and coaches with the Aquanauts. Also returning is the nucleus of the team’s top A aire esaeaeh when they get there, and he wants his top swimmers and everybody else on the team to improve times, technique and top placings. ~ Though there is pressure to win meets throughout the season, especially the club’s own meet July 21-22, Carew said the season is secondary to his overall plan. “T’'ve developed the program to focus on the provincial championships. Everything that happens before that is just warm-up for the Provincials, “ he said after the club’s regular practice Tuesday morning at the Cast), The Gold lost 1-0 to the Shooters and 2-1 to the Hotspurs. In regular season action Monday, the X-Men got two goals from Shawn Horcoff and one each from Fred Jack and Swanson as they beat the Glenmerry Sting 4-2 at Kiwanis field in Castlegar. The X-Men meet the Warfield Lions in a rescheduled game Thursday. The Tornado and Kickers meet each other for the third time this season tonight at Kiwanis field at 5:30 p.m. medalists Aimie Chernoff, Colin Carew (Tom’s younger brother), Mario Fehrenberg and Justin Phillips. So with the backbone of the 100-member club intact as it Prepares for its first big meet of the season June 22 in Nelson, Carew has much the same goals as he had last year - only better. He wants more of his swimmers to make the incials — about a quarter of the team made it last year — he wants more to get medals gar Aquatic Centre. As for the pressure to meet those goals, Carew, a fourth- year history major at the University of Alberta and a member of the highly touted U of A swim team, said nobody puts more of it on than himself. “I think the most pressure I feel is from myself. I don’t feel it so much from the parents or the executive. I have goals that I'd like to see the team accomplish in Provincials. When you get to that point you never know what's going indy Pilla and Tom Carew have returned to guide the 100-member club for another year. The Aquanauts get their first taste of competition June (CasNewe photo by Ed Mille Pressure is. About the only major change in the club this season was something initiated before the season started and will likely be the Aquanauts’ second biggest asset — the winter swim club program. Pilla, a second-year University of B.C. physical education major, said that as a result of the winter club, this year’s edition of the Aquanauts is one of the strongest she’s seen. Still, both coaches agree that to get better results than last year, some swimmers are going to have to come into their own this year. Besides steady performers and perennial provincial medal hopefuls in Neil Jones, Wende Gouk and Alex Hartman, Carew and Pilla have their eyes on several up and comers who could get them nearer the goal. Though it’s still early in the season, Brian Preston, Cheryl Ellis and Lisa Blackwell were on the top of Carew’s list, while Pilla mentioned Jill Imrie, Grant Mosby and Teddy Hunter. to happen.
