JULIE HUNTER We are at a critical point for amatuer sport in British Columbia. The government entered the lottery business in the 1970's with the stated objective of directing the proceeds to fund Sport, culture and recreation. But in the years since, increasingly less lottery revenue has gone towards supporting sport in B.C. While lottery profits in B.C. have skyrocketed, funding to the Provincial sport system has eroded. In 1988-89, the gover- nment had $194 million in lottery Profits at its disposal, but B.C.’s Sport governing bodies received less than four per cent of that. The $7.5 ion was divided between 87 different Sports to look after development of hun dreds of thousands of athletes and coaches province-wide. That works out to a measly $2.42 per capita. Provincial funding of sport in B.C. lags far behind that of the other western provinces, despite the fact that the other Provinces have considerably less revenue from lotteries to allocate. For example, the 1988-89 profit from lotteries in Saskatchewan was $43.5 million, 50 per cent of which went to sport and recreation. Sport itself received $13 million, which works out to 29.9 per cent of the Profit and $13 per capita. In Manitoba, 1988-89 saw a profit from lottery Sales of $57 million. Of that $9.5 million went to sport, which is 16.7 per cent of the profit and $8.64 per capita. Before they even reach national level com- petition, B.C. athletes are not on a level playing field. And _ it shows. B.C. was originally the team to beat at the Canada Games. Our athletes en- joyed success largely because of the size of our population and the natural climatic advantage of being able to train through the mild winters. But the B.C. government's ‘laissez faire’ at- titude towards sport development and to the other provinces’ com- mitment to supporting their athletes with lottery revenues and indoor training’ facilities has Proved to be a deadly combin- tation. At the Canada Winter Games in Prince Edward Island in February, B.C. fell to fourth Place — its worst ever finish in the 24-year history of the Games. In 1974, the NDP government introduced the province-wide lot- tery. During debate over this legislation, the opposition Socreds argued against a Provin- ce-wide lottery on the basis that it would take away the power of non-profit. and community organizations to raise their own revenues through their own smaller lotteries and sweepstakes. To overcome public concern on this issue, non-profit and com- munity organizations were gran- ted the right to sell lottery tickets. But this revenue base for sport orga’ tions was confiscated when the provincial government bought them out of the business. At that point, ticket sales had far surpassed all expectations and Sport. B.C.’s profit alone from wholesale lottery tickets had Peaked at $600,000. “All. eyes will be on British Columbia during the next few years when we host the Canada Nowhere to 2nd two years And they almost won it all By ED MILLS Staff Writer It was a two goal difference but it could have been 200 goals as far as Alicia Lust was concerned “I was thrilled even before the game started, just to make it into the finals,"’ said the coach of the Stanley Humphries secondary school’s girls Soccer team, which lost 2-0 to L.V Rogers secondary of Nelson here yesterday in the West Kootenay championship. ‘When you look at how much Progress we’ve made in just one year, it was great,”’ said Lust who doesn't teach at SHSS but who began the girls soccer Program at the School last year with the help of husband Don who does teach there. SHSS beat J.L. Crowe of Trail 2-1 and Nakusp 2-0 in earlier games yesterday to advance to the final of the eight-team tournament. Tammy Bezaire, who was the team’s MVP last year and appears headed for that honor again, scored two goals in. three games for SHSS and played in goal for half of each of those games. Aniece Stetsko and- Christina Rowsell scored the other goals for SHSS in the tournament and Corry Markin shared goaltending duties, and the shutout against Nakusp, with Bezaire. “I'd like to’ mention everybody, they all played so well,"’ said Lust. “*But one of our most outstanding players in the tournament was Kathy Nephin at fullback.

The Penguins clearly were the bet- ter team in consecutive 4-1 victories that evened the NHL’s Conference fina at two wins each. Their high- Powered offence has outshot Boston in each one of the four games of the “We di Game 2 in their Games, the Games, and the Western Canada Summer Games,"" said Sport B.C.

It bur lost in overtime and we had two big wins here,”’ said Penguins forward Phil Bourque. “*We've got the momentum.” Lemieux set-up the only goal of the first peried, by Bob Errey, and scored Pittsburgh's important third goal at 10:23 of the final period Tuesday night. Then, with three minutes left, Boston's Chris Nilan hacked him across the arm. ““Phey were trying to get our bet- ‘Yer players off the ice,”’ said Keith Stevens, whose power-play goal on Nilan’s penalty with 2:38 left capped the scoring. ‘We had a 4-1 lead and they “wanted to prove something going q “Mt should be a wild time in the Gardens."

Ron Francis had another Strong game, with two assists, and goalie Tom Barrasso was outstanding in the third period when the Bruins tried to rally. “We came out to try and win the game in the third period,” said Boston captain Raymond Bourque. “We were only down 2-0 and we got some really good chances but their third goal (by Lemieux) really hurt.’’ “‘We wound up digging ourselves a hole that was too big to get out of,”” said Boston defenceman Glen Wesley. “We could have tied the Golfer returns from Kansas By ED MILLS Staff Writer Denise Pottle’s getting used to Playing under pressure. So she doesn’t mind if we all come out to the Castlegar and District Golf Course this summer to see what the Americans taught her about golf. Sure, she says she'll be a little nervous playing in front of the hometown crowd again when she returns to Castlegar next week. “I don’t want there to be (pressure) but I know, that deep down inside, I think I'll kind of feel that Pressure, because I want to play good,”’ said Pottle from her dorm at the Kansas State University, where she just completed her first year on a golf scholar- ship. And yes, the 18-year-old said she’s worried that some people might think that she thinks she’s some Sort of big shot or something, when she’s not really like that. : But then that’s all psychological stuff, and now that she’s got a handle on other aspects of her game, she says it’s her mind she has to work on now “I think a lot of times it’s all in my head, like 1 kind of talk myself into bad situations, and I have to stop doing that. I think mentally I have to work on that part of my game, because it’s such a big part.” So, she says, come on out, take a look, stare if you want. She's going in with a good attitude and she knows that’s half the battle. “I think 1 will play good because, you know, I’m hitting the ball good lately and I've really worked at my game over here."’ If you saw Pottle play last year in her senior year of high school, you might want to get out and See the updated version In a NCAA tournament in Nebraska two weeks ago Pottle shot 81, 75-and 85. The 75 was her career best and pretty well made her entire year. “I proved to myself that 1 could do it when I shot-75. That was really exciting for me and that kind of just shows. | mean, if | wouldn't have done that I Probably wouldn’t have been as happy because I would have felt that I'd done all this work for nothing. But I think it’s actually going to pay off for mein the long run.”’ The knock against Pottle in high school was that she didn’t have the weight or the strength — which translates into endurance — to go along with tremen- dous talent and work habits. Apparently her coach at Kansas State thought the same thing, which is why he put Pottle and the Whole team on a winter weight training and enduran- ce . Mal we thee four hours mandatory practice on the golf ‘course every day and in-season running Programs, and Pottle is pretty sure she's not the samne golfer she was when she left here last August. Pottle ready for grand homecoming Denise Pottle returns from Kansas State University next week after completing her first year there on a golf scholarship. —conews ie phot “Our coach made us run every night of the week. Sometimes we have to play 36 holes in one day and you ¢an’t get tired, so I try to keep a lot of muscle in my legs and lift a little bit of weights to keep strong.’* Uh, speaking of weight . “Yeah I put on some, not that I wanted to! It’s not funny,”’ she laughed. No, she says, she doesn’t shoot in the low 70s every time, and she’s had more than her share of bad days, frustrating moments and soul searching with mom and dad on the long distance lines, but she realized there’s a long way to go before even she knows how good she can be “I was playing in tournaments with girls that it was their last year (on scholarships), and they were Playing just as bad as I was, so I just thought well, you still have three more years, so you just have to work really hard at it."” Whether or not she makes it as a professional, which is her dream, Pottle’s got it made. Even she'll admit that. She has four years guaranteed paid at university, » Playing the game she loves everyday, and maybe she gets a shot at the pros out of it. Then there’s always the travel and lifelong friends she'll meet along the YT And if she doesn’t make it in golf, she always ‘has her university degree in education to fail back on, $0 she can pursue her other dream of being an elementary school teacher. The workload gets her down sometimes and her marks weren't always A’s during her first year, but Pottle says she wouldn’t change places with anybody. “Yeah, I kinda like life, it’s nice, I love it. It’s really fun too."” ‘Considering that she says she'll spend just about everyday on the golf course this summer, what's not to like about life? 1 guess we'll see you out there Denise. “‘Sure,”” she says.
