To get into the playoffs, the Atoms had to do well in their division. And that they did, playing their best hockey of the year On Nov. 24, Castlegar faced Cran- brook ACT Red Wings. Led by Shawn Horcoff’s two goals and some fine goaltending from Justin Evin, Castlegar squeaked out a2-1 win. On Friday night the competition was the always tough Penticton Atom Reps and it was clean end-to-end action with no penalties called. Once again team captain Shawn Horcoff led the way with three goals and two assists with David Pucci chipping in with one goal and one assist. Scott Carlson rounded out the scoring in a 5-4 win for the boys from the Kootenays. The final game in round robin play pitted the Castlegar’s All-stars against a Triple-A team from Langley Langley, entering the tournament with a perfect 20-0 record and much con- fidence, were in for a rocky ride as Castlegar worked hard, checked hard and scored when they had to-once again squeak out a hard fought 3-2 team’s semi-final opponent 26 was none other than Castiegar’s teaguerival_and. tour nament host — Spokane.

Karsten Manufacturing earlier filed $100-million suits against both the U.S. Golf Association and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews in Scotland. Those two drganizations, the principal rule-makers and major governing bodies in world golf, have adopted regulations banning the use of the square- or U-grooved clubs. Jets and Flyers fined NEW YORK (AP) — The Philadelphia Flyers and Winnipeg Jets were fined $10,000 each on Friday for violating the league by-law that prohibits teams from lending players to each other. The Flyers traded goalie Pete Peeters and forward Keith Acton to the Jets on Sept. 28 in exchange for future considerations. Five days later, Winnipeg returned Peeters and Acton to Philadelphia in exchange for Toronto's sixth round selection in the 1991 NHL entry draft, which the Flyers held from an earlier transaction. League president John Ziegler said there was no evidence to con- tradict the assertions of the clubs that there had been no agreement to return the playes. Wallace races to bank NEW YORK (AP) — Rusty Wallace collected the first $1-million championship payoff in auto racing history on Friday night at the NASCAR Winston Cup awards banquet. “It’s almost beyond belief,” said Wallace, who beat Dale Earnhardt by just 12 points at the end of a29-race season. The payoff was in addition to the $2,383, 187 he earned in becoming the third driver in motorsports history to win more than $2 million ina single season Wallace also received an additional $65,000. for winning four other awards. Winnipeg deals Jones WINNIPEG (CP) — The Winnipég Jets have traded centre Brad Jones to the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for veteran left winger Phil Sykes, the NHL team announced Friday. Sykes, 30, a native of Dawson Creek, spent his entire pro career with the Kings after singing as a free agent in 1982 Nords take Lawton QUEBEC ‘CP) — Meanwhile the slumping and injury-plagued Quebec Nordiques picked up former No. t overall draft choice Brian Lawton on waivers from the Hartford Whalers Friday. Lawton was the first overall pick of the Minnesota North Stars in 1983 — ahead of Sylvain Turgeon, Pat Lafontaine and Steve Yzerman — but never fulfilled his potential Punching for dollars HOUSTON (AP) — Akeem Olajuwon of the Houston Rockets was fined $5,000 and J.R. Reid of the Charlotte Hornets was hit with a $1,000 fine Friday for their fight in the third quarter of an NBA game the previous night. The fines were announced by Rod Throrne, NBA vice- president of operations. Olajuwon’s fine was for initiating the fitght and Reid was fined for elbowing and fighting.

The young bull with sides like last year’s whitewashed wall, stares absently into nothingness with milk brown eyes. He bellows nasally, complainingly,, but no one appears from the cow barns behind him or the chicken pens behind them. I pull a tuft of still-dewed grass and approach him cautiously with my offering. His broad curly head goes down, he stares at me hard and suspiciously, shakes the iron ring in his nose and snorts loudly. Very suddenly that ring and the light chain which connects it to a near- by pasture fencepost look very fragile. I substitute discretion for valor, throw the offering at his feet and back off carefully. He nibbles a few sample blades then raises his head tocontinue his hard stare. The Alsatian farm dog with the sharply pointed ears stands up on his granite rock Sentry post by the silo, looks in our direction, decides that the young bull can fend for himself and lies down again. Just as | am about to retreat to still more secure quarters in the studio building behind him, Brother Maurus, the gardener monk, arrives, walks up to the bull, pats him on his broad back, scratches his forehead and, with a soothing ‘‘Ah, the poor baby, he’s lonesome,” leads him off like a puppy on a string. So much for the savage beast on the Westminster Abbey farm near Mission. Inside the studio, the Plaster of Paris mould for sculptor Father Dunstan’s latest work St. Gertrude, the Benedictine mystic, lies in a six-foot box ready for the pouring of the concrete, high bas-relief statue. She is the 19th in the series. In the two or three days previous we have bent the almost ore dozen lengths of steel which will form the reinforcing bars for this statue and the loops for hanging the 600-pound work on the walls of the Abbey church. John Charters Reflections and recollections Father had major surgery earlier in the year and his sculpting is a bit behind schedule, but his imagination and artistic output are unimpaired. He has been working on the final draft while design sketches for his complex, two-hour-long opera, The Stone Ship, stan- ding of necessity, at his desk. I have seen a copy of the work and it is magnificent A little earlier I had visited the recently built seminary residences, located on the steep hill overlooking the valley of the Fraser River and the moun- tains beyond. My brother, Tom, is supervising the con- struction of a driveway and parking area in front of the buliding and even in its unfinished morning state it flows and curves gracefully between the Autumn maple trees, enhancing the-curves of the ground_and_giving full ac- cess to the view of the river and the Purcell Mountains already shawled in snow, standing beautiful in the background. The entire monastery is particularly glorious at this time of year with the scarlets, gold and purple of the shrubs, with a thick golden carpet of leaves in the maple woods and the sweep of green lawn and field to the lake and the grotto, broken by scattered dark brown mounds of fresh earth, mute evidence of busy moles locked in silent warfare with Frater Peter and his mole traps. Father Paul’s vegetable fields are stubble-bare and gray, lighted here and there only by scattering of too- ‘Small-to-harvest~ orange~squash~—and--ploughed—in- discriminately by the white cattle’s last gleaning. One feels an endless, sense Of tranquility about the place which the monks’ busy but unflustered preparations for winter and the smell of hot ashphalt complements rather than denies There are about two dozen Anglican clergy here at the guest-house for a mid-week retreat and some 50 Catholic missionary women, Unitarians and others due for conferences at the weekend. Even these are enfolded into the quiet Halloween (All Saints‘Eve) was uneventful here, though I believe the junior seminarians had their traditional party under the benign but watchful eye of Brother Meinrad. Next day (Wednesday) was the high feast-day of All Saints — a church holiday with special services. On such occasions Brother Benedict, the chef, prepares a special feast-day meal for the refrectory (monk’s dining room). A choir led by Father Basil, the organist, presented a choral selection of polyphonic music (ifistead of the traditional Gregorian chant) a cappella (without accompaniment). There is a low hum of conversation at the table instead of the normal silence when the only voice to be heard is that of the reader up in lectern. I enjoy this little conversation, but the silence is better On the following day there was a Mass fos the dead RC IBARICL S35 6; TOPOS FOV 168% Ce Mp aes a Brother Francis Dodman gave comfort and support out of his own suffering to scores of other patients with cancer. He was honored by the brothers at Westminster Abbey in Mission on the anniversary of his death. then a solemn procession to the cemetery on the hillside where my friend Brother Francis Dodman (1945-1985) and other members of the community are buried beneath plain stone markers. Last week I was invited to dinner at the home of my brother and sister-in-law on the Alouette River, with a stage play by mystery writér Agatha Christie to follow The Alouette is a salmon river over whose rocky course the spawning fish push their way each fall in living red and silver profusion and a few weeks later lie strewn on the rocks and shoals with their lifeless ribboned remains. It is a part of memory almost as old as I am, and the subject of Sic Transit Glorai in The Dragon Tree —atimeless cycle of life and death. There were no remains this time, however. A heavy rainfall had swollen the river and swept everything away back to the sea and the end of the eternal circle. But the play was good, even excellent, so that it never ceases to amaze me what talent lies hidden in even the smallest communties, awaiting the opportunity to manifest it- self. There has been an extra abundance of visitors this weekend at the Abbey, as well as during the week. Thus I wasjable to enjoy the all-too-brief company of the rec- tor of St. John’s Cathedral in Portsmouth, England —a merry priest and a truly educated man. We spent an hour over coffee comparing the literary traps into which one can fall between one culture's language and another. Churchill said something about Britain and the United States being two like nations separated by a common language and it is all too true. After talking to Father Lowan it became equally obvious that an equal number of boobie traps are waiting when one attempts to cross from French or Itatian to English and he had the anecdotes to prove it My favorite haunt at the monastery is the library, doubled and redoubled in size in the past seven years and growing steadily. It is now used extensively by both the monastic community and clergy and students of many denominations as well Earlier this year, | had found a couple of good biographies on Abraham Lincoln and so lightened that particular corner of my ignorance a little. A few days ago,_prodded by the fact that she appears in the Medieval history section of the social studies course, I asked Father Boniface, if he had any books of Joan of Arc (La Poucelle). He did. Some two dozen different titles, one a novel by Mark Twain, a work which he con- sidered to be one of his best. I think that he, and Bernard Shaw, should stick to social commentary and humor I had had the impression that Joan was another of those misty, heroic half-legendary figures of some 600 years ago. Instead she leaps out of the pages as one of the best-documented figures of any earlier period of our history since the transcripts of her five-month trial in Rouen and subsequent burning at the stake, and her eight-month long rehabilitation hearing 25 years tater with hundreds of witnesses are still in existance. In spite of numerous biographies and commentaries, she rises above them all, a monument to an incredible faith, deep rooted in the very best of both her own time and culture and in the occasionally exalted tale of mankind. I wondered momentarily why the present radical feminist movement hadn't claimed her to their cause. Fhen I realized that this particular lady was too broad for any sectarian embrace and too hot to handle by any propagandist. In spite of numerous biographical studies and critical essays, she remains as much an enigma today as she was when she was burned alive On Saturday, Nov. 4, 1989, Father Mark Dumont organized and conducted the celebration of the golden wedding anniversary Mass of his parents, Dr. Hubert and Margaret Dumont, at St. Peter and Paul Church in Vancouver. On Nov. 18 the monks of Westminster Abbey ob- served the fourth anniversary of the death of Brother Francis Dodman, a former disc jockey and bandleader and subject of several columns.
