It was handed to him by Diana, the Princess of Wales, to the applause of some 98,000 fans. CELTICS SCORE DOUBLE In the Scottish FA Cup final at Glasgow, Celtic got two goals from Scottish striker Frank McAvennie in the final 15 minutes to nail down a 2-1 win against Dundee United. The victory gave the Glasgow side the League and Cup double. United, runners-up last year and in three previous Cup finals, went ahead through Kevin Gallacher in the 48th GRIFONE TAXIDERMY minute. But McAvennie equalized in the 75th minute and added the winner in the final minute of regulation time. The English FA final was billed as clash between the soccer aristocrats of Liverpool and the artisans of Wimble- don, a team.of largely unheralded players whose sometimes bruising style has made them unpopular. Liverpool provided almost all the high quality soccer, but Wimbledon produced plenty of thrills. Liverpool's England striker, Peter Buardsley, was a constant menace to the Wimbledon rearguard and, after going close twice with shots, thought he had fired his side ahead in the 34th minute. ELATION SHORT-LIVED Despite being fouled by Andy Thorn, the diminutive Buardsley kept going and slotted an angled drive past Wimbledon goalie Dave Beazant into the net. But referee Brian Hill had whistled the foul and, from the free kick, John Barnes drove the ball high and wide. Two minutes later, the ball was in the other net and this time it counted. From a free kick wide on the left, Dennis Wise swept the ball into the danger area and Sanchez guided it home with his head with Liverpool goalkeeper Bruce Grobbelaar unable ¢o make a move.

CHANCES WASTED Liverpool's other best efforts were a close range effort from Steve McMahon, which was palmed away by Beasant, and a last minute header from Steve Nicol which just cleared the crossbar. For Wimbledon, Terry Gibson headed wide and John Fashanu and Youth both forced Grobbelaar to make diving saves. The second half introduction of former Real Madrid winger Laurie Cunningham added a new dimension to Wimbledon’s forward play, while Liverpool brought on South African-born Craig Johnston and Danish international Jan Moelby in a bid to break down the Wimbledon defences. But Beardsley was unable to repeat his first half form and Barnes continually ran into defenders rather than round them as the usually well-oiled Liverpool machine grdund to a halt. Boxing titles contested SASKATOON (CP) — Donovan (Razor) Ruddock headlines a three-fight card May 28 when the Canadian featherweight, middleweight and vacant heavyweight boxing titles will be con. tested. at 9,200-seat Saska tchewan Place. Ruddock, ranked ninth by the World Boxing Council and 10th with the World Boxing Association, will pause on his march toward a possible. world title shot against Mike Tyson to fight Ken Lakusta for the Can adian heavyweight belt. Former champion W: deWit of Grand Praii Alta., abandoned the title last month when he retired to pursue business interests. Ruddock of Toronto is 18-1-1 with 11 knockouts and is the No. 1 contender for the Canadian crown. Lakusta, 25-12, is a former nightelub bouncer from Edmonton who lost the title to deWit. The No. 2 contender last fought Jan. 23 when he lost a seven-round TKO to Michael Dokes on the Tyson-Larry Holmes undercard. Lakusta, 32, announced his retirement following that loss. In a match between two Winnipeg fighters, Canadian Biddleweight champion Mu “hammed Eltassi will defend his title against No. 4 con tender Terry Jessmer. Also on the undercard, titleholder Barriington Fran. cis of Montreal will fight No. 6-ranked Clinton Hannah of Fort St. John, B.C., for the Canadian featherweight belt. Fight promoter Sonny MacPhee of Halifax-based Ringside Promotions Ltd. wouldn't reveal the purse for the heavyweight fight but said both boxers! ake was based on a percentage of the gate. No television rights for the event have been sold and MacPhee said the success of the venture depended on a full-house in the new ‘Sask: atchewan Place arena. We don’t care what you ridel.

Pictured here are two Keep fit fo By KIRK LaPOINTE The Canadian Press In comes the warmer weather, into storage go the skates and skis, out come the bat, ball and glove. An estimated 45 million North Americans play baseball or softball — some seriously, many more for recreation — making it summer's top sporting activity next to swimming. Unfortunately, one of ball-playing’s greatest attrac tions — that just about anyone can play at some level or another — is also one of its greatest deceptions. Softball and baseball may seem virtually risk-free and suitable for every fitness level, but thousands of Canadians have the torn muscles and sore arms to prove otherwise. There's something about playing ball — perhaps its r baseball You should be spending 20 to 25 minutes warming up for a game, which Gelinas admits “is about 20 to 25 minutes more than what we do now.” Many players pull muscles on that first dash to beat out a ground ball or as the run down a ball in the outfield. Rather than arrive at the ball park and start playing, Gelinas recommends 15 minutes of light jogging and stretching to loosen the legs. Typical stretches used by runners — to loosen the thighs, hamstrings, calves and groin area — work just as well for baseball or softball players. Slow arm rotations and shoulder stretches are also advised easy-going social nature, or the tight playing schedul that prompts people to skip the preparation and get right at it. Not wise, says Mark Gelinas, technical director at Baseball Canada, the Ottawa-based governing body for the sport. “The biggest mistake is that people get on the field and start throwing,” says Gelinas. “Right there, you see a lot of injuries that could be prevented.” It may already be too late for a good pre-season conditioning program of light weightlifting to build the arms and shoulders for throwing and ,hitting, and moderate running to develop leg and heart-lung strength. But Gelinas says routine pre-game preparations and an early-season throwing program can greatly improve your performance while reducing the risk of injury. Saskatchewan wins tourney The Yorkton team from Saskatchewan won, the girls’ side and the Sherwood Park squad from Alberta took the boys’ title at the Western Canadian midget volleyball championships held in Castle- gar over the weekend. Yorkton defeated the Ichi- ban club of Vancouver 7-15; 15-0 and 15-5 late Saturday night to win the gold medal. Ichiban took the silver. The Red River team of Manitoba beat out St. James of the same province for the bronze. The only Kootenay entry in the whole tourney, the Koot- enay Volleyball Club, placed tenth on the girls’ side. Sherwood Park defeated the Lacombe squad of Al- berta 15-12; 5-15 and 15-7 to take the boys’ gold with Lacombe claiming the silver in the defeat. The Selkirk team from Manitoba took the bronze beating the Kildonan, Manitoba team 15-1 and 15-11. There was no Koot- enay team entered in the boys’ competition. Tournament co-ordinator Joe Moreira said the tourn ament was a success despite the last place finish by his KVC girls’ squad. “From our _ perspective we're pleased with the way the tournament “went,” he said. “It was the first time a tournament of this calibre was played in this area and provided the girls with the experience needed to go on to more successful results at other big tournaments.” The tourney wrapped up the season for midget players in Western Canada. Canucks change farm teams VANCOUVER (CP) — The Vancouver Canucks will no longer operate the Frederic ton Express of the American Hockey League as a farm team with the Quebec Nor- diques, the National Hockey League team announced. The Canucks. and Nor- diques had used the Express as a farm team since 1982 and had one year left in their contract. A cash settlement was ne- gotiated to break the con- tract, Canucks vice-president Brian Burke said in a news release. He did not disclose the amount. “We have been anxious to establish our own farm club that is fully stocked with Vancouver players,” said Burke. “We felt it was a priority with us to have full control of our own opera. tions.” He said the Canucks are evaluating a number of cities for a new farm team. They include Brantford, Ont., Ot- tawa, Fredericton, Flint, Mich., Fort Wayne, Ind., In- dianapolis ahd Milwaukee. Burke said a decision will not be announced before the NHL's June meeting» ~ Weekend Wrap-up FASTBALL CASTLEGAR COMMERCIAL LEAGUE we Checkers Pub Top 10 Hitters As Gory Fleming J, Obetkotf Steve Konigon Pitching El Soukarolt, Checkers ‘am Sookso, Tudor Pete EvdokimeltLobatts BASEBALL Tranmere oma iabuigh ‘Angeles. 341, Pal Golarrage, Montreal 398: Dowson, Chicago. .326.

I understand that the unjust are now attempting to steal the Robson ferry — all in the cause of planning and economy, no doubt. This is a contradiction in terms, of course, since government — all government — while idealizing both of these objectives is pragmatically and primarily committed to survival; and despite the apparent death wish of certain leading members, the party in power will give its all to self-perpetuation. All other considerations are a very distant second in the all-over shell game. The Robson ferry is, however, not a pea which can be made to appear and disappear in a now-you-see-it-now yoy-don't sleight of hand bureaucratic manipulation. It is a part of the fabric dnd character of this community, and by_extension, this area and this province, and must be seen in that perspective If the citizens of Castlegar, Robson and surrounding communities see it only in terms of their own convenience they are attempting to set up a battle line with only one defensive point, a battle liné which can readily be outflanked. “You have,” the flankers will point out, “four routes across the river — the road across the dam, the CP Rail footbridge, the bridge across the Columbia and the Robson serry.” To which one may reply: “True, in theory, but in fact the dam road is an awkward convenience, an emergency by-pass, a logical accessory located on the most dangerous road in the area. The CP Rail walkway is a other convenience which saves many steps for a number of people who would otherwise have to take a long detour but it is still a footbridge only. The bridge over the Columbia, so much a part of the community that it doesn't seem to have a name, is an essential adjunct to Selkirk College and the adjacent communities but it is an artery, not an organ of the city. It is a funnel, a viaduct for traffic out of and over the city. The ferry on the other hand is a link; a link with the communities of Robson, Raspberry, Pass Creek and Castlegar, as well as with the past. It goes back for 69 years; it grew as the town and together with he chapel house and the Castlegar Railway station is one of our few remaining heritage structures and a high profile asset as a tourist attraction. For those who cross on it regularly it is probably almost invisible, like the Tower of London is to those who live in its shadow, or like the thumb that you use to button up your shirt or tie your shoelaces and never miss until you don’t have it anymore. To those of us who use it less frequently — particularly when we have to make a several mile detour to reach a location, just across the river — it is not only a great convenience but for me at least, even after 40 years, a small adventure. To vi: from out of town it is undoubtedly something unique, something special, a conversation piece which focuses this community firmly in their minds. It will truly come into its own if a road is opened up along the Arrow Lakes. Tourism is a growing, major industry in an ever-increasing number of countries in the world, and a major mystery to most Canadians, if Via Rail is any example. Governments spend considerable but insuffi ent amounts in the name of tourist promotion but most of it gets stuck in the bureaucratic conduits instead of going to the places in which it would do the most good. Tourism and heritage are being wisely sponsored by Tourism Minister Bill Reid, and this is a beginning. But local tourist attractions must be imaginatively packaged and aggressively merchandised. A few individuals or small groups attempting to promote individual attractions, including trips to Australia, are wasting a great deal of energy. There are many attractions in this area but they must be sold as varying-sized adventure and heritage tours catering to varying interests and then promoted, interchangeably, at the local provincial and international level with the full support and understanding of everyone. The Robson ferry is of great value to local citizens, grater than they realize. It is of still greater value in terms of potential tourist dollars now and more so in the years to come as the area is opened. But it is up to the local citizens and merchants to raise their sights and start taking a careful bead on the future now before the future flies away. SCHOOL VIEW By Gordon A.
