Drivers welcome change VANCOUVER (CP) — Cham- pionship Auto Racing Teams of- ficials are planning changes in the street course for the 1991 Molson Indy Vancouver on Sept. 1. A course worker was killed last September during the first running of the Vancouver CART race. He was struck by a race car driven by Willie T. Ribbs on a dangerous turn. ‘*We've learned from last year and anticipate we will resolve most of the problems."’ John Frasco, president of the Vancouver race, said Monday. “We will continue to address the most unfortunate incident which oc- curred during last year's race.’’ City coroner Ian Marshall made several recommendations that were given to CART officials for review. “We continue to have meaningful meetings and discussions with CART: g the coroner’s recommen- .”’ Frasco said. ‘The appropriate parties will meet with him in the near future.’” Turn No. 5 on the Pacific Boulevard course around B.C. Place Stadium will be altered, said another Vancouver race official. “We're all very concerned with the safety and other aspects of the cour- se,”’ said veteran CART driver Mario Andretti. ‘A lot of these areas have talked about and been ad- e and a lot has Andretti, third last year behind Al Unser Jr. and Danny Sullivan, an- ticipates a faster race this year. Seating will be increased to 41,000 from 38,000. More than 69,000 spec- tators attended the inaugural Van- couver race, the most ever at a ‘Canadian sports activity. The Vancouver race offers prize money of $1 million US and is one of 17 CART events on this year’s schedule. More large television screens will be added for spectators in reserved seating areas and some sightlines will be improved. John Winter, president of Molson Brewery, Western Division, said organizers are ‘‘pleased to have ac- complished so much, so quickly.’’ Andretti, 51, winner of 51 CART races, said the Vancouver race received enthusiastic reviews from drivers. “Sometimes new venues make you nervous,”’ he said. ‘This defintely was a surprise for alt of us. “And, from a driver’s standpoint, we're happy about the changes that will come. Key areas have been ad- dressed."’ The controversial turn obstructed the vision of drivers. The course worker was killed while helping push a stalled car. In addition to the Indy car race, there will be at least two other events run on the 2.78-kilometre course during the Labour Day weekend. The Player’s Formula Atlantic event and the Players-GM Motor- sport series for Camaros and Firebirds will return for a second year.

Kelly Davidoff, Denise Gray, Michelle Negrieff, Aimie Cher- noff and Andraya Hughes were selected to play for the under-18 ‘West Kootenay team Castlegar girls on the under-16 team include Wendy Closkey, Trudy Clow, Janet Kalesnikoff, Jennifer Fayant and Jeanette Kitchen All 10 girls play for the Verna Chernoff-coached Stanley Hum- phries secondary school field hockey teams. Chernoff, who has coached the regional teams in the past, said she almost wishes she was coaching the under-18 girls team which she calls the best team the West Kootenay has sent to the regional championships in the last 12 years. “We've got the core players from the Rossland team that came second (in the provincial championships last year) and the Castlegar kids who came third And we have Michelle Boucher of L.V. (Rogers high school in Nelson) who ‘plays on the Canadian squad. “They should do well,’’ said Chernoff, who is coordinating the trip and will be an official at the tourney But it won’t be a walk to the championships by an means in a tough nine-zone tournament which includes two all-star teams from the Lower Mainland, two from Vancouver Island and two from the Okanagan. It could get especially tough if the senior girls can’t keep their heads in the game, said Cher- noff. “As a team, I think they’re as good as any team they'll meet, but as for concentration and in- tensity, we'll see. “They just like playing for fun, rather than going with the gut instinct that they’re going to have to have to beat the coast teams,”’ said Chernoff. Chernoff coached the West Kootenay junior girls to their best-ever finish in the regionals, a silver 10 years ago. She handed over the coaching reigns this year to Rossland secondary school junior field hockey coach Libby Martin. As for the junior team, which will be headed by rookie coach Marcie Silva, Chernoff said they’re probably too young and inexperienced to go all the way in the regionals “It’s a development phase they’re going through. I'd say they'll make it about half way. But they're not going to get run out of any game. Kalesnikoff and Closkey should score some goals to keep them in it,"’ she said In, out, MVP is super By ED MILLS Staff Writer Last year’s most valuable player on the Stanley Humphries secondary school girls soccer team is proving again, just valuable she is. of SHSS’s goals in Tuesday as the A team had its best tournament of the season on a windy ‘and rainy day in Nelson. Minor soccer, page B2 And the team’s captain did it playing out in only half of each of the games. The other half of those games she was stopping goals as the team’s goaltender Bezaire scored both goals in SHSS’s 2-1 opening-game win over New Denver then scored the team’s only goal in a 1-1 tie with Nakusp. In a 2-0 win over Trail, Bezaire got credit for a half-game shutout and scored one of the team’s two goals. Sarah Robichaud scored the other goal in the win over Trail and Corry Wagg shared the shutout with Bezaire. Coach Alicia Lust said Bezaire was just playing her usual great game and the rest of the team followed right along. “If I had to name a player as MVP I would name every one of them,’’ said Lust, who began the school’s first-ever girls soccer program last year. “All the stuff we've been prac- tising just came together. And it rained for two games so they had to play in the pouring rain and they still won,’ she said. Aniece Stepsko didn’t score but set up most of SHSS's goals in the tour- ney, said Lust SHSS's B team played Thursday in Salmo while the A team left Friday for a tournament in Penticton. SHSS hosts the West Kootenay high school girls soccer champion- ships May 7 Shotgun opener By CasNews Staff The 46-member Castlegar Ladies Golf Club opened its season with a bang with a nine-hole Shot Gun at the Castlegar course April 16. And some familiar names graced the leader board after it was all over. Leslie Johanson was the low gross winner while Diony McArthur and Marie Makaroff were second and third respectively With handicaps included in the score Belle Gray won the low net division while Anne Stevens was second and Anne Fishwick was third. The team of Mary Ish, Louise Ferworn and Doris Sweeney was the low gross winner while the threesome of Sue Forrest, Kay Hominiuk and Sophie Janicki was second. On the low net side Joan Martini, Ruby Partridge and Helen Clay won. In second was Phyl _Lamb, Clarice McKinnon and Irene Sheridan. Jim Young: The Sequel — a great book By ED MILLS Staff Writer For Jim Young, Castlegar is the place where life began after his 15-year professional football ended. It’s the place where, using his brain and fairly well- known name, he started from scratch trying to make it back to the game. Over a decade later, Young's been back in the game for several years in various positions — from marketing to assistant coach — with the Canadian Football League’s B.C. Lions. And today, at 47 years old, he’s exactly where he Mlways wanted to be — vice-president of business operations for the team, which is essentially half of what @ general manager does though he doesn’t get that lofty title. If he hadn’t already done it, someone could write a pretty good book about the life of Jim Young. to him since 1972 when he collaborated on the book Dirty 30 with Vancouver Province sports columnist Jim Taylor. (Taylor was also * Still, a lot has its right. Any sequel would still have to cover old ground though. Like the days in the late 1960s and through the "70s when Young played almost every position for the Lions and along the way got the moniker Dirty 30 as a playing style. testament to the number on his jersey and his particular Tt would also have to recount his proudest moment in his 15-year career. “*] guess one of the most exciting was being a Canadian out of Canadian university and going down and being the first one to make it on a team in the NFL (the Minnesota Vikings). Not that I starred by any means, but just having that experience was good.’’ The sequel would also include his with ‘Football, fame and fighting back post-football life will probably be a pretty good book in hanging in. He’s a brilliant guy. He’s really off the wall at times but he’s found more gold than any man in history.” Of course, the book would have to include a couple of paragraphs on former NFL, now Lion, quarterback Doug Flutie, who until Raghib (Rocket) Ismail came to Canada, was the biggest thing the CFL had seen in years. “Doug is going to be a big star in this league. He came in last year, he had to learn Canadian football, and he had a very good year last year in spite of missing “*I had the one day to be head coach. It really wasn’t that difficult in that I've been involved with coaching - and with football for many years. As a group, the assistant coaches were preparing for that game anyway. “*There’s no way I want to coach though. My future is in front office, not coaching. I enjoy coaching, it's just not where I think my future is. Coaches lives aren’t very talk about.

In the present chapter, the book would have to deal with the touchy subject of the death of Young’s oldest son two years ago, which is something he still refuses to He has no problem talking about his other two adult sons or his second wife of 10 years, Kari, and could easily fill a couple chapters on them. When the story teller got to the part of Young’s work for charities and his early life in business, Castlegar’s role in the story would expand. “| got my start here in Castlegar.
