utlook dim for
wimmers in '92

EMONTON (CP) — There's a
jot of talent swimming around in
Canada's pools, but Canadians
phouldn't expect more than a
handful of medals. at the 1992
‘Dlympics in Barcelon: the
president of the sport's national
prganization,

“You have to be in the the top

three or four going into a world

thampionship or an Olympic

Games to have a chance at

medalling — let alone winning a

gold,” Tom Pinkard of Swim-

ming Canada said after the Pan-
pscine championships wrapped
up Sunday.

? “You can come from outside,

but the chances are very rare.”

} The Pan-Pacs are held every
wo years and along with the
‘uropean championships, are

the last major international

qmeet before the Olympics. Cana-
da finished well behind the
jUnited States and Australia this

Year with one gold, five silver

and four bronze. Two of those

medals came in the 25-kilometre
distance swim which is not an

Olympic event.

: Pinkard's assessment indi-

gates there at least half a

dozen Canadian swimmers in

tontention for a medal in

Barcelona.

“We have six, seven or eight
athletes who, going into this
competition, were ranked in the
top four of the world at some
point this year.”

; Backstroker Mark Tewksbury

jand butterfly specialist Marcel

Gery have the best shot at gold.

= Tewksbury, a 23-year-old

University of Calgary student,

Jost to American Jeff Rouse at

the Pan-Pacific meet and also at

Perth, Australia, earlier this
ar.

But the two have been so
close it could come down to who
has the longer fingernails when
they swim the 100-metre back-
stroke in Spain.

Gery has a top-three ranking
in the 100-metre butterfly. He
lost out on the weekend to U.S.
swimming sensation Matt Bion-
di by three one-hundredths of a
second and placed ahead of
Biondi in Perth.

Gery, 26, has never competed
in the Olympics and has no
ranking.

The Torontonian left Czech-
oslovakia in 1986 and could not
get his Canadian citizenship in
time for the_1988 Games in
Seoul. He missed the Los Ange-
les Games four years earlier due
to a boycott by communist coun-
tries.

Other swimmers to watch on
the men's side include Gary
Anderson — who won the 200-
metre individual medley at the
Pan-Pacs and came in fourth at
the worlds — and Jon Cleve-
land, who took a gold in the 200-
metre breaststroke at last year's
Commonwealth Games.

Names don't spring to mind
on the women's side, but
Pinkard said there are several
strong contenders, including
breaststroker Keltie Duggan
and medley specialist Nancy
Sweetnam.'Duggan, 21 next
month, has several international

Mt. Sentinel! high school coach Joe Moreira got about 35 kids out to his second annual volleyball camp at Selkrik College this week. Instr-
tuctors at the four-day camp, including local high schoo! coach Stoch Uchida and former college stars Jason and Wes Wishiow, teach the
kid everything from the basics to advanced techniques as the high school volleyball season approaches.

For 40 years she has tended her flowers.
Among the many hues of reds, blues, and

pinks are

bell of the Ireland and, of course, the mysterious night stalk
that releases its magical scent throughout the neighborhood

yards.

It’s the custom of the people living on the benchland of 9th,
10th and 11th avenues to go for a walk in the cool of the

h

ig. It’s to see a

of people in the

entrance to her driveway admiring her flowers and trying to
identify the fragrant scent of the night stalk or.the carnations.
When viewing the flowers, images of paintings of flowers by
Claude Monet come to mind. It’s been said that the purest form
of expressing your amazement in life is found within the people

who tend flower gardens.

In Stella’s home sits a row of gleaming trophies — 10 to be
exact — won 10 years in a row from 1959 to 1969, a testimony
to her expertise, won for having the best flower garden. The
trophies were donated yearly for the competition by the late

Herbert

W. Herridge, MP for the West Kootenay.

In all likelihood, Stella’s garden helped contribute to the
coining of the name “Garden City” for Kinnaird.
Sadly, however, in the last few years the growing of flowers

had diminished.

Perhaps there is some service club or a group of individuals
in town who could create an incentive for these artists to

become active again.
