Royals win in Appledale Ken Soukeroff hit a grand slam as the Valley Royals beat 86ers chase down a dream VANCOUVER (CP) — The V: couver 86ers begin another Canadian Soccer League season Sunday with the number four dancing in their dreams. The 86ers open the 1991 schedule against the expansion Nova Scotia Clippers in Halifax as the quest begins for Vancouver's fourth straight CSL championship. “It becomes more difficult each year because people put you on a pedestal,”’ 86ers. coach Bob Lenar- duzzi said Wednesday. ‘‘We have no catchy slogans, just the quality of never believing what people say about us. “What we've always done is focus on each game, starting with Halifax."’ The 86ers have been the CSL’s model franchise since the league’s in- ception in 1987. Vancouver has played entertaining, attacking soccer under the guidance of Lenarduzzi, who retired as a player following the 1988 season. Vancouver goes for goals with im- posing strikers John Catliff and Domenic Mobilio, supported by a mobile midfield led by Carl Valen- tine and Ivor Evans. Evans, called the Fijian Flash by * awe! Il continue to attack because we want to entertain our fans,’ Lenarduzzi said, ‘*We've lost a couple of key players, but I like our replacements.’* Midfielder Dale Mitchell was loaned to the Toronto Blizzard, where the pay apparently is much better. Jim Easton returned from the Hamilton Steelers after a year’s ab- sence, but Easton was lost with a recurring knee injury. Norm Odinga was added from Edmonton in the dispersal draft when the Brick Men folded. Odinga adds speed on the flank, allowing Valentine to replace Mitchell in the middle. Yugoslavian defender Valdo Vanis returned home and the 86ers added a former local player, versatile Mark Karpun, to replace Vanis in the cen- tral defence. Catliff, 26, keys the offence, He was the CSL’s most valuable Canadian player last year after scoring 19 goals, “There’s a noticeable increase in the calibre of play since ’87,"’ Catliff said. ‘‘Defenders are playing better soccer out of the back, using time and space to advantage. fans, is V *s only import player. CSL teams are allowed a maximum of three impor- Repeating will be much tougher. The competition has been con- solidated with three teams folding. There shouldn’t be any weak links."’ Franchises in Edmonton, Victoria and Ottawa folded in the off-season, with Halifax added to make the CSL eight strong. The CSL will operate with one conference this year instead of eastern and western divisions. CSL teams will equalize travel costs through a league pool. There are two teams in the West (Van- couyer, Winnipeg), four in Ontario (Toronto, Hamilton, Kitchener, London), one in Quebéc (Montreal) and the expansion addition in Nova Scotia.

Bad day for SHSS golfers Stanley Humphries secondary school’s golf team had a bad day at the wrong time and it cost the team as it finished in last place in the four-team East-West Kootenay championship in Creston last weekend. Jody Carew’s 83 was the lowest score for SHSS which qualified for the tournament after finishing second overall in the West Kootenay championship Todd Archambault had an 85, Mark Perrier shot 89, Klaus Rentsch shot 97 and Todd Bondaroff 98. Creston won the tournament while the team from L.V. Rogers of Nelson was second and Kimberley was third.

RTS is a volunteer literacy tutoring program and Project Literacy’s nearest neigh- bor in its type of project. Under the leadership of Hunter, RTS has trained 150 tutors since 1987 and these haye worked with 130 students, Project Literacy says in a news release. She will tell members how RTS reached the learners and raised money fof its project. Project Literacy has just com- pleted training 25 tutors from Nelson, Trail and Castlegar and they are being matched with 25 learners, some of whom are working together in the libraries and others in their own homes. Recent promotional efforts to raise community awareness about Project Literacy West Kootenay have in- cluded manning a booth at the West Kootenay Trade Fair, entering a float in local parades and com- missioning a rap jingle for airing on local radio stations. More directors are needed for the board. Anyone interested and willing to stand is urged to phone the coor- dinator Sue Port in Castlegar or Judy Wearmouth at the Castlegar Library Linda Mitchell, executive director of Literacy B.C,, recently visited Castlegar to give PLWK members a ic planning. She started by giving a run down on how far Literacy B.C. had met its goals. Literacy B.C. is a covlition of people and groups concerned with promoting literacy in B.C. Mitchell started the strategic plan- ning session by listing the accom- plishments of PLWK, making the group realize how far it’s come in one year, naming all the promotional ventures, the number of learners reached, tutors trained and matched pairs working. She then focused the group's thinking on to realizable goals for the coming year. The major problem is funding for the continuation of the Project — to pay the coordinators’ salaries, trainers’ honoraria and to buy resources. If PLWK does not get another government grant, a mam- moth fundraising effort will be required. A GOLF GETAWAY THAT'LL SAVE You On THE GREEN. $85.00 par per night per room A room for two with a view!
