Sa * CasthéSit News June 23, 1985 SPORTS [PLAYERS SAY CFL FOOTBALL IS ‘TOO FAT’ WINNIPEG (CP) — There is a problem with the footballs in the Canadian Football League. Some of the players don't like them. They say they're hard to hold, hard to throw and too fat. “They should change balls from the traditional Spalding J5V to the Wilson (National Football League) model,” said Mark Moors, a centre-guard with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. “I can't understand why the league doesn’t want to use the NFL ball.” The CFL has been using Spalding footballs since the turn of the century. Two years ago, Spalding Canada closed its plant in Brantford, Ont., but the small firm of H.D. Brown Enterprises Ltd. of St. George, Ont., continues to supply the CFL with footballs under the Spalding name. Last season, fumbles in the CFL were up by 40 per cent and some players were convinced it was because the new balls were too slippery. Blue Bomber John Bonk, a 13-year veteran, said the new ball is too fat with rounded points. “It really looks and feels like a rugby bdll,” Bonk said. Bonk is also convinced the CFL should switch to the NFL ball but both he and Moors believe the league wants to stick with the stubbier model because it brings the Canadian game closer to its rugby roots. GAME DIFFERENT “Well that's silly,” said Moors. “People don't consider the Canadian game different because of the ball, they consider it different because it has three downs. They consider it different because it's played on a field 110-yards long, 65 yards wide and with a 25-yard end zone.” In the NFL, there are four downs, the field is 100 yards long, and 50 yards wide and the end zone is 10 yards. “There isn't a person in the upper deck on the east side who is going to give up his season tickets because the ball is different. He isn't going to say, ‘Oh, look, they're using a smaller ball. That's it. I'm giving up my tickets.’ Nobody knows the football is different and nobody cares.” One player who refuses to blame the ball on the fact that he is kicking 10 yards shorter in practice this year and has missed several field goal attempts in the first two Bomber exhibition games is kicker Trevor Kennerd. “No excuses,” said Kennerd, who acknowledged that the ball was giving the snapper and holder some problems. “But please, don't say the ball has anything to do with my problems.” Ltn OQd Jar yA Fack5 Streethaw' rs track meet.

PARIS REGATTA Canadians take gold PARIS (CP) — The Can- adian team paddled its way to seven medals, including a gold by kayaker Don Brien of Dartmouth, N.S., during the second day of events Sat- urday at the international Paris Regatta. Strong crosswinds both helped and hindered the per. formances of the Canadian who also took home ver and three bronze Brien, 25, an Olympic team member, was aided by a good lane position in the men's K-1 1,000-metre event. The gust ing winds across the Marne River made racing easier in lanes five through nine. Brien, starting in the ninth lane, won the event with a time of three minutes and 58.2 seconds — 27 one- hundredths of a second faster than teammate Alwyn Mor- ris, 27, of Caughnawaga, Que., who was in lane No. 8. “Going through the heats and semis this weekend, I wasn't really happy with either one of my races, but when I looked on the results board I had the first- or second-fastest time in each one,” said Brien. “I thought that going into the final that if I put in a good race I could definitely win.” In other races Saturday, Colin Shaw of Coquitlam and Scott Oldershaw of Burling- ton, Ont., teamed for a silver in the K-2 1,000 event and Nancy Olmstead of North Bay, Ont., won a silver in the women's K-1 1,000. Bronze medallists for Can- ada were: Larry Cain of Tor- onto in the C-1 1,000 metres; Steve MacKenzie of Chat- Long drives were Bev Poole, Dione McArthur, Dor- othy Martini, and Elsie Shorthouse.

Brien and Morris are in the midst of a tough but friendly battle for the only Canadian berth available in the K-1 1,000-metre event for the world championships in Aug- ust. “That's been my goal from the very first of the year,” said Brien. Gianukakis KISBL player of week The Kootenay Internation- al Senior Baseball League's player of the week for June 10-16 is John Gianukakis of the Republic-Curlew Bears. To earn the honor, Gian- ukakis established one league record and tied three others in sparking the Bears to an important 16-13 victory over Trail Cardinals. He tied records for a single game, getting six hits, four extra base hits (three home runs, one triple), and five runs Gianukakis also com- plemented the four extra base hits with two singles to set a new league mark for total bases (17) for one game. An impressive offensive explosion also included eight runs batted in. Weekend Wrap-Up BASEBALL Enderby. 25.

Happy Crondal U Christian Acad Leslie Franks = Michael Hood with diplomas and gifts. The Acad held grad Thursday. Students receive awards The Castlegar Christian Academy held its graduation and awards ceremonies Thursday. Pastor Victor Stobbe opened with a prayer and a welcome to everyone. That was followed by Tina Graham reading her poem, The Golden Rule. The Academy's theme song, Alpha and Omega, was then sung by the students. Mr. Happy Crandell presented the two grads Michael Hood and Leslie Franks with their diplomas and gifts, and in his remarks he used the analogy of their lives being grounded in solid rock like the fig tree, which when rooted in solid rock produces the most fragrant blossoms and choice fruit. Hood presented the valedictorian speech, saying, “We have now finished one part of life — the long and hard journey called school, and now are ready to step out into the world.” He thanked the parents, who had stood behind them, and Mr. and Mrs. Crandell who “had faith to start the school and make this possible.” To fellow students and his fellow graduate he extended “good luck and best wishes in what you decided to do in the future, and may God bless you as you go along with your decision. To all the students and his fellow graduate he To fellow students and his fellow graudate he extended “good luck and best wishes in what you decided to do in the future, and may God bless you as you go along with your decision. To all the students returning to continue their Christian education, stick with it and do the best you can, and remember this one thought in the words of Sir Frederick Banting, ‘you can do anything in this world, within reason, if you are willing to work and think hard enough and long enough.’ ” Franks replied with the popular saying, the first day of the rest of your life.” “For those of us graduates . . . tomorrow has finally come. We are stepping from our childhood into the world of adults. The thoughts of it are a little frightening . . . I know it won't be easy but we are ready, we are well armed with a sound education and the added bonus of Christian faith and knowing God goes with us. “To my fellow students . . . never think lesser of yourself than you are .. . each is talented in his or her own way and each one of us with our own contribution to add to this world.” She urged the students to study, and quoted Timothy 2:15, “Study to show thyself approved.” She thanked the teachers, whom she likened to swimming instructors who teach their students how to keep their heads above water. “Our teachers have brought out of us our best and taught us to use our talents God has given each of us... Mr “tomorrow is and Mrs. Crandall, Mom and Dad, Pastor Stobbe, and.all those, respectively, who have made this day possible for me, I give you back those two little words (two, humble, little words, to say thank you with), in love and in prayers, and in fond memories, thank you.” The following awards were also presented: Proficiency — Sheri-Lyn Makeiv and Jennifer Glue- heisen.

John Charters Reflections WHEN BEST LAID PLANS GO AWRY “The best laid schemes of mice and men gang aft a’gley.” — Robert little poem on the occasion of his having destroyed the nest of a field mouse while ploughing on his farm. It is a gentle and wry comment on the uncertainties of life and the fragility of plans for creatures great and small, as no one knew better than the poet in the course of his brief and troubled life. I am, however, in my lengthening years slowly coming to a realization of the futility when plans go awry, of either cursing the heavens or jumping up and down and blowing smoke out my ears. On the one hand, the heavens are totally unresponsive and on the other, people will think you are on fire and throw a bucket of water over you. Both and & recollections PARK . . - Local student Christine Hadikin experiences can be equally unp Yet, after reading a very interesting little book entitled “The Tao of Poo, an explanation of the doctrines of the great Chinese philosopher Lao-tse as seen through the story and characters of Winnie the Poo, I learned that the Poo-bear was an “uncarved block,” that is, one biped remains a d by the life and simply “is.” This week I had plans for a column on my experiences as a civilian observer of the 44th Field Eng Sq military last week, some work on the Heritage conference in Prince George, lining up several pioneer biographies and some news items. The unexpected deaths of two longtime friends, Frank Richardson once of Castlegar, more recently of Okanagan Falls, and Perry Wolfe of Trail has forced a change of priorities. It also affords me — as a would-be uncarved block — the opportunity to do a little summing up and acknowledging. Therefore: My dear and only daughter, thank you for the Tao of Poo. To son, Bruce — thank you for the Father's Day gift the excellent book bid bors of Robert Bateman, a book of by the Canadian wildlife artist. It is free one of the best of its kind I have ever seen.

Rock club meets in Castlegar By H.P. DUNLOP Members of Selkirk Rock and Mineral Club held their June meeting at the home of Lesley and Harry Killough in Castlegar with 15 members and one guest present. The meeting was chaired by President Marie Allison. Minutes of the previous meeting were read by Sec- retary Krohman and reports of field trips A field trip to the Rock Candy Mine north of Grand Forks took place on June 9, with 13 members and guests present. Special attractions at the old mine are colorful fluorite and barite crystals, as well as quartz crystals. The Rock Candy Mine was operated in the 1920s by Cominco, then known as the Cc lid Mining and Smelting Company. The were given. Fourteen members and two guests made the trip to the Emerald Mine and the old Jersey townsite in the Salmo Among specimens found were molybdenum, fluorite, actinolite, and sphal- erite crystals. On June 2 several mem- bers travelled to the Ross- land Mining Museum where discussions were held with museum staff on the SRMC display case. As the facilities are not yet complete, the labelling of specimens donated or on loan by the club has been postponed until fall. Members were given a preview of the new features being installed at the mu seum. fluorspar was used as a flux in the company’s smelting processes, and the ore was carried across the mountain by a tramway system. This overhead tramway crossed above the Granby River and terminated at a place called Archibald, at the end of the rail line from Grand Forks. Archibald was situated just north of Lynch Creek — about 18 miles up the Granby River. Here the ore was crushed and loaded into rail way cars, then shipped via the CPR to Grand Forks — over the Farron hill, and through Castlegar to the Trail smelter. Some of the ore was also shipped by the Great North natural bridge, known as the “Brooklyn Bridge,” across the lake from Deer Park on July 14. Meeting place is Syringa Creek Park at the junction of the Deer Park Road at 10 a.m. A day's outing up the Slo- can Valley is set for Aug. 18. After visiting Ruby Rock, Passmore, and Vallican lo- cations, the members will meet at the Aasland home for a “bring-your-own” barbeque supper. Morning rendezvous is by the South Slocan Credit ern Railway to the U.S., going as as Chicago. “The mine itself was located on Kennedy Creek, which flows into the Granby from the west, and was reached by a road up Pass Creek. Shortly after leaving the highway the road swings north and follows a tributary stream named Rock Candy Creek, continuing on to Ken nedy Creek, some seven or eight miles altogether.
