VANCOUVER (CP) — Celebration 90 reflects “the
rainbow of our comniUnity’’ says the first Canadian
member of Parliament to publicly declare his
homosexuality.

“What a wonderfully diverse group of men and
women they are,’’ New Democrat Svend Robinson said of
the Vancouver organizers during opening ceremonies for
the week-long Gay Games.

‘*Many coming out for the first time as they volun-
teer, reflecting the rainbow of our community including
the drag queens, the bull dykes, the men in leather and the
radical fairies, all working together in common cause,"’
he said to loud applause.

There were marching bands, square dancers and
emotional speeches as gay men and lesbians from around
the world opened the third and largest gay games.

It took more than an hour for the 7,000 athletes —
from 27 countires.as far away as Brazil and Japan and
representing every province and territory — to parade
around the domed B,C. Place Stadium before 12,000

cheering supporters Saturday night.

The football field was packed with men and women
who will compete together for the next week in what
organizers say are inclusive games, not based on ability,
sex or sexual orientation.

Choirs, dancers, Canadian rock singers Carole Pope
and Lorraine Segato, and Robinson were part of the
lavishly choreographed program, which included tough
words about human and sexual rights and touching
tributes to those who have died from AIDS.

FOR THE RECORD

NEW YORK (AP) — The
Associated Press reported
erroneously July 31 that George
Steinbrenner had proposed to
baseball commissioner Fay Vincent
the penalty — amounting to a lifetime
ban — that Vincent imposed on the
New York Yankee owner.

The commissioner changed the
original proposal, and said the final
penalty was his idea, not Steinbren-
“fier"s.

These are the first Gay Games to be held outside of
San Francisco, where 1,300 athletes took part in
Challenge 82 and 3,500 participated in Triumph 86,

Winnipeg-born entertainer Robin Tyler, host of the
ceremonies, had harsh words for discrimination against
homosexuals.

“*Whether it be lack of support for AIDS research,
religious self-rightous bigots or violence against gays and
lesbians, we will never again not defend ourselves and
each other,”’ she said to cheers and applause.

But games organizer Betty Baxter, @ former Olympic
volleyball. player_and_national team coach, said many
Vancouverites have shown tremendous support for the
games and accompanying culture festival.

“I'm particularly happy Vancouver has shown us
this month that this is the kind of city that does welcome
all of you, that it’s a city where acceptance and under-
standing of what we're trying to do has been coming every
day greater and greater.

**1 would also like to ask you to think about that
progress if you should be chance encounter someone who
doesn’t d us," she said, to
protests by some Christian groups who earlier condemned
the games and homosexuality.

Two men and a woman shouting anti-homosexual
slogans through a loudspeaker and a woman parading
with an anti-games poster were the only protests.

Thirty sporting events, ranging from track and field
and bowling to hockey and body building started Sunday
at sporting venues throughout the Vancouver area.

No miracle on ice
and little goodwill

TACOMA, Wash. (CP) — The second Goodwill]
Games gained notoriety for the thrilling overtime
shootouts in hockey that left goaltenders shaking in their
skates.

The summer spectacular, featuring eight top hockey-
playing countries, had a predictable result — the world
champion Soviets won — but the shootout formula was a
hotter topic than Valeri Kamensky’s quick stick.

The Soviets edged the United States 4-3 in the gold
medal game Sunday on goals by Alexander Semak and
Dimitri Kristich in the overtime showdown.

The previous day, in the semifinals, Canada also was
beaten in a shootout — by the Americans.

“It doesn’t feel like we lost the game today — we
tied,”” said American coach Jeff Sauer. ‘‘Now I know
how the Canadians felt.””

The Canadians were feeling even worse after they lost
the bronze medal game 6-1 in Sweden.

Canada finished the sports festival with 11 medals —
four gold, one silver and six bronze — nine more than in

the first Games four years ago in Moscow.

The Soviet Union collected a games best 188 medals,
including 66 gold. The host Americans had 60 gold among
their 161 medals. East Germany was a distant third with
11 gold and a total of 43 medals.

“I’m pleased with the results of the games and we
had good games until the last two,’’ said Canadian
hockey coach Dave King. ‘‘They weren’t vintage, but the
evaluations were good.

**No one likes the shootout, but those are the rules
you play with.”

The shootout was instituted by organizers for games
that are tied after a 10-minute, sudden-death overtime
period.
Goodwill officials didn’t -want games going over
three hours because of television commitments.
Ironically, the host TBS network did not televise the gold-
medal game live.

Canada beat Sweden 4-3 in the first round. But with
a medal on the line, the Swedes were much tougher the
second time around.

Art club work on display

The Bert Learmonth model ship
exhibition is finished at the Castlegar
Rail Station and the Kootenay Art
Club exhibition has taken its place.

Last Thursday, Shirley Torbic and
Heidi Berger, both former presidents
of the Art Club, with the help of
Cathy Loo, Castlegar and District
Heritage Society station guide, began
setting out on display some fifty art
works executed by club members.
These will be open to view every week
from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to
Friday for the month of August.

The works in all media by Rita
Morrison, Catherine Stadler, Ruby
Partridge, Shirley Torbis, Carol
Couch, Phyllis Lamb, Pearl Ander-
son, Elizabeth Popoff, Marlene
Jones, Verna Keraiff and teacher
Alan Woodrow are featured in the
collection.

The club meets each Wednesday at
7 p.m. for painting and self-help
sessions at the Senior Citizens Hall,
and as well, sponsors painting
workshops at other times.

When asked what the club’s objec-
tives were, Berger and Torbic said
simply, ‘‘It’s fun. We get a lot of en-
joyment from it, a lot of satisfaction
and learn a great deal as well.’’

Regular meetings will begin again in
September and all who are interested
are welcome to join.

Artist / therapist
to show slides

Creating inner sanctuary through
art is the theme of a slide presentation
by Pat Waters, northern California
artist/therapist, Saturday, August 18,
at 7:30 p.m. at the Langham Theatre.

Using slides of her own work over
the past twenty years, Waters
illustrates the healing effect of ex-
ploring personal images in many dif-
ferent art mediums, a news release
says.

Her presentation will appeal both
to those who attended last year and to
those not yet familiar with her ex-

citing approach to art and personal
healing, the release says.

Waters, who has a masters degree
in art therapy, practises these ap-
proaches in clinical settings in a
California state mental hospital and
outpatient clinic. She also consults,

Beaver Street Creative Arts Studio in
Santa Rosa.

She is also conducting workshops

release says.

From Aug. 18-31, you can learn
everything from the art and craft of
letterpress to creating talismanic
jewelry in silver, the brush technique
of oriental painting to mask making.
Talented instructors will guide you
through workshops to the creation of
your own personal piece of art. You
will carry this away with you, along
with skills in a new field and some
new friends to practice with, the
release says.

In this world of desktop publishing,
there is little opportunity to learn the
intricacies of using handset metal and
wood type, linoleum cuts, and other
time-honored techniques. Learn these
skills in The Art and Craft of Letter-
press with Jamie K. Syer.

Visitors to the Langham Cultural
Centre gift shop may have been at-
tracted to the display case of silver
jewelry, each piece reflecting the con-
sciousness and intent of the creator.
Jewelry can be more than decorative,

it can be symbolic. In lan Fraser's
Talismanic Jewelry workshop, you
will develop your own personal sym-
bolism in silver, the release says.

The attraction of Oriental painting
is universal because of its sim-
plicity. Learn the secrets of Oriental
brush technique in this two-day
workshop -under the guidance of an
experienced instructor, Patrick Chu.

Wearing a mask seems to make us
to behave differently. In a three-day
workshop, Mask Making with Pat
Waters, you will learn that masks
sometimes reveal more than they
hide, the release says.

These and many other short courses
are listed in the summer school
brochure. For a copy or more infor-
mation, contact the Langham centre
in Kaslo.
