East Germany and Romania each collected three gold medals, two silver and one bronze. A surprisingly strong showing by the American rowers moved the United States into third place in the medal standings with two golds and a bronze.

In sports, it's not what have you done for me lately, it's what can you do for me now. The ex-USFL stars picked up fat NFL contracts based on their prospects for production. That did not, however, sit well in some circles. Dorsett has been carrying the football for the Cowboys since 1977, gaining 10,832 yards, fifth on the all-time list. The next yard Walker gains for Dallas will be his first. So, Dorsett reasoned, why is Walker making $1 million a year and not him? “These are unique cases,” explained Dallas president Tex Schramm, who negotiated Walker's con- tract. “Just as some draft choices come into the league highly publicized, right out of college, these guys are coming in from a pro league, with three years experience with the same kind of image. “They're special cases. They got a lot of attention, but they'll fit in. This is nothing new.” Schramm should know. In 1977, the Cowboys awarded their first $1-million contract, a five-year deal with a first. round draft choice that sent shock ‘waves through their veteran roster. Angeles Rams draftéd safety Johnnie Johnson and signed him to a $1.1-million deal over six years. Dennis Har- ment that they walked out of training camp. “The million-dollar figure caught people's attention,” said Don Klosterman, the ‘ovr Rams general manager that year. “But it was over six years. “There were a lot of deferred contracts at that time, players putting money off for the contracts and the players couldn't force a change. What we told them was we would make adjustments and ex- tend contracts the next year. tegiey. Mew We told them to play the season and we'd take their performance into consider- ation.” Klosterman, another USFL expatriate, chuckles now over the flap Johnson's contract caused six years ago. “You know what?” he asked. “He might be the average player. And there is little reason to believe that he will be replacéd. Schramm said he would not trade the understands. His isn't any thing new.” Like the four Rams who walked dut on Klosterman, Dorsett has a contract that future. We team. wouldn't renegotiate existing 14a 778, ico 343. Gooden.

Cureton ond @ 1967 second-round dratt oh jf ni Couple wed at St. Rita's St. Rita's Catholic Church in Castlegar was the setting for the June 14 afternoon wedding ceremony uniting Patricia Amelia Rodrick of Castlegar, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.W. Rodrick of Pass Christian Mississippi, and Fredrick LaFore Vigue of Castlegar, son of the late Jim Vigue and Mrs. Vigue of Castlegar. Father Herman officiated and Rudy Baff played the organ. Musical selections included the Wedding March, and the theme from Romeo and Juliet during the signing of the register. The church was decorated in white ball chrysanth- emums accented with dusty rose. The bride, given in marriage by Robert MacPherson of Castlegar, wore a full-length cream chiffon gown with lace up the bodice and a stand-up collar Her hat was accented with a feather on one side and a veil around the brim. The bride carried a bouquet of white ball mums with pink minature carnations, accented with baby’s breath and dusty rose ribbons. Maid of honor was Teresa Moberg of Nelson, who wore a dusty rose chiffon dress with detailed bodice. Her ‘bouquet consisted of pink and whité carnations. Robert MacPherson was also the best man, while Brian Herron of Chilliwack and Fred Vigue Jr. of Castlegar were ushers. A reception followed at the Royal Canadian Legion Hall, which was decorated in cream and dusty’ rose streamers, bells and a double heart. Candle-lit centre- pieces with fresh flowers accented the tables. The white wedding cake was decorated with a shower of roses descending from a heart. Brian Lizee of Castlegar acted as the master of cere- monies, while Jerry Caponero of Revelstoke proposed the toast to the bride. The newlyweds took a honeymoon trip to Kelowna and now reside in Castlegar Joni film at Baptist church Joni is the dramatic story of a young woman's struggle to find a useful life in the wake of a tragic accident which left her handicapped. According to her yearbook, her graduating class at Woodlawn Senior high school in Maryland had voted Joni Eareckson the “most ath- letic” girl in the senior class. She was not only active but outstanding in a variety of sports, including ice hockey, baseball, basketball, and diving. Joni was also an ex- cellent horsewoman, a win- ner at both trick and show riding. A month after graduation, diving from a raft in the shallow waters of the Ches- apeake Bay, she found her world had changed. Her head struck something solid and, in a fraction of a second, she had suffered a broken neck. The film follows Joni’s from the moment she became a quadriplegic. Every step along the road to recovery was an obstacle she refused to face until, drawing on her faith in God, she saw a purpose to her existence and began the long, hard fight toward rehabili- tation — not always winning — but never giving up.
