SPORTS a " Castléar News May 21, 1986 Canada preparing for World Cup By GRANT KERE VANCOUVER (CP) — Six members of the Canadian national soccer team returned to Colorado Springs, Colo., for additional high-altitude training Tuesday while the rest of the World Cup team was left to contemplate a disappoint- ing loss to Wales. On the heels of a 3-0 setback Monday night to the Welsh at B.C. Place Stadium, coach Tony Waiters elected to send David Norman, Bob Lenarduzzi, Terry Moore, Carl Valentine, Mike Sweeney and Pasquale Deluca back to the higher altitudes of Colorado to simulate conditions Canada will experience in Mexico next month. Three others — goalkeeper Tino Lettieri, defender Ian Bridge and striker Branko Segota — rejoined their club teams. “The rest of the team has two days off,” said Waiters. “There's not much time before our first game against France. It would be wrong at this stage to over-react to the Canada was badly outclassed in the rematch with Wales. The Canadian team had beaten Wales 2-0 in Toronto on May 10. Wales did not qualify for the 1986 World Cup. DIFFERENT GAME Waiters said the loss to Wales showed that many of the Canadian players who performed indoors during the winter season were not prepared for the “physical aspect of the outdoor game.” “We must be prepared to respond to the physical part of the game in Mexico,” said Waiters. “In the past this has not been a problem, but it was against Wales. “That's one of the problems with the indoor game. Although you'd expect it to be more physical on a smaller field, it’s not. The indoor game has taken away the physical challenge.” Waiters must name a 22-man roster for the World Cup by Thursday and said he plans to take only 18 players to Mexico because he doesn’t want to have discontented players travelling with the team. Canada plays its first-ever World Cup game June 1 against France at Leon, Mexico. Segota and Lettieri are still involved in the Major Indoor Soccer League playoffs. Lettieri’s Minnesota Strikers lead Segota and San Diego Sockers 3-1 in the best-of-seven championship series, with the fifth game tonight in San Diego. BRIEF APPEARANCE Segota came on as a second-half substitute against Wales, but did not get a shot on goal. Lettieri stayed on the bench and watched Paul Dolan surrender all three goals. Dolan had blanked Wales in the first meeting. Bridge returned to his club team in Switzerland and plans to rejoin Canada. about May 25 for training at Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Canada’s final major tuneup for the World Cup is Saturday at Swangard Stadium in suburban Burnaby against England. The English beat Mexico 3-0 last Saturday in Los Angeles, while Canada lost 3-0 to the World Cup host team last month in Mexico City. COMMUNITY NEWS Some hints for GLENN HALL SAYS Playoffs bring out the best in goalies By JOHN KOROBANIK The Canadian Press Glenn Hall doesn’t get sick before hockey games any- more. Instead he spends the game clinging nervously to a beam beside his seat in the press box, reacting to every move by his young goaltend- ing protege, Mike Vernon. As di rent crop of young goalies “The playoffs are a better type of hockey for goalies years we've had a lot of good games.” That's through thie eyes of ‘4 Ea It’s a little more , the teams try to complement the goalies and goalies com plement teams.” It's said pressure caused Hall to vomit before games, but he says playoff pressure “brings out the best in a for Calgary Flames, engaged in the Stanley Cup final with Montreal Canadiens, Hall has received a lot of credit for Vernon's play. Vernon is one of several outstanding young goaltend- ers in the National Hockey League playoffs this year, among them Montreal rookie Patrick Roy. In his playing days, Hall was one of the NHL's great playoff goaltenders so he enjoys talking about the cur- player, esp the goalie. “It would be awful to play without pressure. I don't know how else you could push yourself.” HALL EXCITED Vernon and Roy have cer. tainly pushed themselves in post-season games and Hall, a loquacious NHL Hall of Famer, now greying and balding, sees the goaltenders as one reason he's enjoying playoff hockey this season. “I like the scores this year.

Most of the other series, however, were dom inated by the current rage among NHL teams — clutch- and-grab hockey at a snail's pace. It's that kind of hockey in the NHL, combined with the wide-open play in the minor and junior ranks, that has enabled so many young goal- tenders to make the big step into the NHL. “I used to figure it was impossible to come into the NHL at age 20 and play,” Hall said, alluding to 20-year. old Roy. “The minors used to be a necessity .. . “I guess these kids are proving that wrong.” Actually, there isn't a starting goaltender in the NHL who hasn't spent time in the minors. But for some, like Tom Barrasso of Buffalo Sabres and Edmonton's Grant Fuhr, their stint in the minors came after they had established themselves in the NHL. “There's still something to be said about the minors,” says Hall. “It’s a learning process that's especially im portant for goaltenders and defencemen.” Hall likens the emergence of several young goaltenders in this year’s playoffs to grapes: “This is just a vin tage year.” Bobby Hull made it fash- ionable to shoot from any where on the ice, forcing goaltenders to always watch the puck and that, says Hall, created better awareness and hastens maturity. “Teammates weren't going out in practice to gun him down like they do now.” Ladies Wear Pee Wee Rep girls softball team which of the Karnies won weekend include: (rear, over from left) coach Bonnie Byers, Leanne Bentley, Kim Southwell, Sherry Makor- toff, Jennifer Sallis, Lise-Ann Abrahamse, coach thwell; (front, from left) Darlene Connat- Sonny Boker. Svoboda paying price MONTREAL (CP) — Can- adiens defenceman Peter Svoboda is paying the price for his folly. Svoboda’ drew the) irevof Montreal coach Jean Perron late in the season after being tardy for a couple of practices and missing a team dinner during the playoffs. Svoboda, who Perron says was one of his best de fencemen during the regular season, hasn't seen much ice time as Montreal challenges for its 23rd Stanley Cup. And he isn’t likely to see much more. Svoboda played 73 regular. season games, scoring one goal and assisting on 18 others, but the 20-year-old, second-year man has suited up for only eight of Mon treal’s 17 playoff matches. “At one time I had to put my foot down and say, ‘This is the way it has to be done, Peter,’ ” Perron said Tuesday before Game 3 of the Cana.

When a sixth was needed, they dressed Gaston Gingras be. cause of his booming slap shot. “It just happened we start- ed winning with five de- fencemen so I didn't want to change anything.”.said Per ron. “I am going) with the guys who brought us here.” What Perron would like Svoboda to do in the off. season is add a couple of pounds to his slender six foot one-inch frame. “If he shows up with the same talent he showed us this year and if he adds some pounds, he'll do a great job for us because he was one of our best defencemen all sea- son long.” Svoboda makes no excuses for his tardiness and others off-ice problems. “J just want to forget about this year and start fresh next year.” Lions add eight players to roster VANCOUVER (CP) — British Columbia Lions added eight players to their Kel- owna training camp roster Tuesday, but Jim Mills was not one of them.

He was so imp |, and i about what he saw that he spent some five hours this past Vietoria Day Monday preparing this report. . 8 « By BURT CAMPBELL Publisher Some hints for visiting Expo: © On entering one of the three gates, accept the Showguide given you. Then purchase a $2 map of the Expo site (the official guide is quite bulky but it has a map, too), find a bench, sit down and spend 15 minutes familiarizing yourself with the site while family members wander around the immediate vicinity. The back page of Showguide explains the “lost child program” (although, apparently, as many parents have been lost as kids!), the Showtimte Ticket Systéfir (which provides tickets for specific entry times at certain pavilions), and indicates in a small map the location of the entertainment stages. e Anyone who has been to Disneyland and realized the valve of the paid familiarization tours there should consider the same at Expo, especially if you're only going to have a day or two on the site. Cost is $7.50 for adults and $3.75 for children and seniors with children under 5 free. The 2'/-hour full-site walking tours leave from just inside the East and West Gates each morning at 10:30 and reservations, if desired, may be made by phoning Gray Line Tours at 681-8687. Tours of the east and west sections leave from the same gates at 1:30 p.m. and again at 4. They also last 2‘ hours and cost the same amount. The East Tour includes priority entrance to Expo Centre while the West Tour ineludes priority entrance to the Roundhouse (1:30 p.m.) and Ramses II (4 p.m.). Three-day passes are for any three days of the fair, not for three consecutive days as some people believe. Three-day passes are cheaper than the one-day passes and if you only stay a couple of days you may return later or give the third day pass to a friend. e Major pavilions hand out literature, but not the smaller ones. Nonetheless, it can pile up. A knapsack or a light coat or jacket with lots of pockets is a good idea. You don't want your camera bouncing off your chest or hanging from a wrist strap the whole 12 hours you may spend on the site. You can also put a light plastic raincoat or one of those short-handle umbrellas in the knapsack. (You'll pay $19.99 for an Expo umbrella; less for a see-through plastic pancho with hood. Take your own from home!) e Besides the East and West Gates, there is also Stadium Gate. It doesn’t matter which one you enter on the first day as you're going to explore the whole site anyway. On subsequent days you can enter nearer the areas you want to tour. (You can also enter at Canada Place.) While the pavilions operate from 10 a.m. - 10 p.m the site actually opens earlier. This means you can get onto the property and make a beeline for one of the really popular pavilions to be one of the early ones through it when it opens its doors. e Don't go with the attitude of being frustrated by lineups. They exist, but move surprisingly quickly and some kind of “time passing” entertainment is usually provided. In the Yukon Pavilion, by way of example, you enter through a huge paddlewheel. Once inside, there are walls of photos to look at while awaiting entry into the 12-minute slide presentation. e All pavilions stamp “passport” books. These souvenir passports are a surprise hit. In fact, the supplier ran out shortly after Expo opened and had to rush a second printing while s which hadn't prepared 'to stamp the books had to scramble to get rubber stamps or automatic stamping machines. The souvenir passports are not expensive, and you GATEWAY TO ORIENT . . . The Expo Centre seen throu: the decorative gate of the People's Republic of China Pavilion. should buy them for your youngsters immediately. Otherwise, six hours later (when you finally give in and purchase them), you'll be scrambling back to the pavilions you've already visited explaining at the “exit” doors that you only want back in for a few minutes to validate your passports! 2 © The. fireworks display at 10 p.m. each night is terrifie, but definitely try and view it from a spot between the B.C. and Australian pavilions. As effective as it is from somewhere like the Northwest Territories Pavilion just across False Creek, the laser light show plays on the side of the B.C Pavilion and you have to be there to see the images created. As well, some of the fireworks drop into the water and then explode from the water's surface into the sky. You just can’t see things like that unless you're right there. And the accompanying music doesn't carry too well, either. Parking may be a problem in July and August but doesn't seem to be now. Rates were $8 for a full or partial day but have dropped to $5 and $6. Cruise as close to the site as possible as many people park further away just because they don't want to take a chance on getting close. e Be sure to take the free SkyTrain ride to and from the Canada Pavilion, do wait in a lineup to ride the monorail, and do take one of the Air Canada/CP Air gondola cars (preferably at night, when you can admire the bright lights of Expo). France has a free elevated light rapid transit ride which can be entered by going up stairs located near the pavilion's ground-level exit. e Another example of a surprise hit is the music in the Cote d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) pavilion. People go in to see the displays of coffee beans and jewelery, but it is the country’s music that draws a great deal of the attention. Attendants had so many requests for stereo tapes that one is being rushed into production and should now be available. © Don't be upset to see people going into the Canada Pavilion via the exit ramp while you're waiting to get in. They're bypassing the live entertainment hall and three short movies in favor of going directly to display areas, restaurants, or to wander the promenade decks. LAND PLAZA . . . This is the place to see the world’s wackiest assortment of vehicles, including foncy-painted Filipino buses. soon following the unfortunate fatality of a young girl) and then it’s a short walk into the New Frontiers Theatre and on to the exhibits in the Great Hall. in 3-D. Be sure to choose a CN ticket. It truly is fantastic as a 2x4 piece of lumber comes out of the screen to just about poke in the eye and a robot arm cradles an egg before it im your lap! @ And! ‘s a hint worth many times what you paid for this issue of your newspaper: Your tickets to the CN or Teleglobe theatres will be stamped with a time many hours away (for example, you'll get a ticket at 3 p.m. that is your reservation for the 6 p.m. showing). Since many people don't wait, there are nearly always empty seats for the performances. Go to a “standby” line near the theatre of your choice. Just before showtime they'll let people in to fill the seats held for no-shows. While standing in the lineups to enter the Canada Pavilion you'll see the Amiga Theatre on the handout ‘Aknapsack or a light coat or jacket with lots of pockets is a good idea’ given you. Read the small print: “Free tickets for the Amiga Theatre are available at ticket dispensers on the West Concourse.” © The B.C. Pavilion is must seeing (as are, for people from our area, the USSR and Washington State pavilions). Visitors waiting for admission to the Discovery B.C.

Line-ups are common at the Ramses fi! pavilion but CasNews publisher Burt Campbell says an early start can help avoid waiting at the more popular pavilions. and waiters and waitresses dressed in black and white was $17. A glass of wine was $4. You do not take your family of four to the French Pavilion’s restaurant unless you are going to Expo on more then a modest budget, but you can go to the BBQ Chicken and Ribs in the Green Zone with everyone in tow. e Yes, Expo is divided into colored zones for easier pathway. Five hundred people at a time are then admitted to the theatre where an 18-minute 70 mm film in the new technology of Showscan takes you on an exciting adventure throughout our entire province. The special effects are terrific. A nine-year-old Penticton girl and a character from space named Zargon and his space-craft zoom around British Columbia. You can then exit to the waterfront area (and maybe catch the loggers’ sports show) or go into the Discovery B.C. Hall where there are four Trees of Discovery that look much like giant mushrooms. These “trees” hold 14 people at a time and take you up five storeys with a visual experience at each stop that accompanies the running commentary. Trees 1, 2 and 4 are well worth the relatively short wait and here's a hint: This area can be accessed from the Plaza of Nations without going through the Walk in the Forest and Discovery Theatre. Thus, you may wish to go in and see OUR MOUNTIES . . . Scarlet-coated officers of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police are favorite subjec ts tor photographers in the Plaza of Nations the trees first, or wander around after you've emerged with a “surge” from the theatre until the lineups subside Pick the tree with the shortest lineup and then wait for the other trees if you want to, or return to go through them at some other time. e Go through the B.C. Revue area where the province's tourist regions are represented. A wall map shows the Kootenay/Boundary area with a Doukhobor figure sitting on a bench and a Red Mountain/White water ski exhibit. Professional entertainers move from exhibit to exhibit giving a humorous skit and song about the area. (Notice Nakusp on the wall above the map. It was left off, complained, and is now included!) © The second. part of the B.C. Pavilion is the Challenge B.C. Pavilion directly across the Plaza of Nations from the Discovery B.C. Pavilion. It's entered through a narrow entranceway located between McDonald's and an eatery called the Irish Pub. The Challenge Theatre has a unique triple-screen theatre that presents film images simultaneoulsy on one gigantic screen. This film features British Columbians during a day in the life of our province The three exhibit areas in the Challenge B.C Pavilion provide a glimpse into B.C.’s economic makeup and the transportation links that make us prosper. © Quick food prices do not seem out of line with what one would expect. (McDonald's and Nat Bailey's White Spot charge the same prices as they do at any of their Vancouver locations.) A hot dog with a large weiner, mustard, relish and ketchup at a Spaceage Booth costs from $1.85 to $1.95. Ice cream novelties, also in distinctive space booths, run from $1.25 up. Restaurants in the pavilions are more akin to fine g establishments than cafes, with prices accordingly The Ontario Pavilion's Trillium Restaurant's special of the day with soup and coffee and served with fine linen as you move about the grounds. Besides green, there are yellow, pink, blue, red and purple zones. © The best of the pavilions, and the worst, are a matter of personal opinion. e The USSR Pavilion is really only about Russia, is dark, technology abounds, admonitions concerning peace are frequent. @ Poor Nova Scotia took Expo's theme of transportation and communication too literally. Instead of concentrating mainly on slides showing the natural beauties of that province, we are reminded that Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone there while the giant Cunard Line saw its start in that province. . Hopefully, they'll put a fishing boat outside as a to Expo's theme and put some tourist-oriented displays on the walls and the slide presentation. @ The U.S. Pavilion is full of sound and noise. You can hardly concentrate on the sound track of one display without noise interference from the next exhibit. It trys to do far too much, with the result that very little is done very well. (Its attendants, however, are great. Bright, energetic, friendly and erudite, they were chosen from all over America and obviously love their country and their jobs.) e The Ontario Pavilion is a must-see and offers a 3-D movie that is more impressive if seen before the Imax 3-D movie in the Canada Pavilion. The Canada geese in it do appear to fly out into the audience, to the delight of the hundreds of people seated. Expo's theme is acknowled ged in exhibits that are viewed as you wind your way into the pavilion en route to a walk through history (where you listen to the sounds of Niagara Falls in front of a huge mural while the floor rumbles beneath you). e The Northwest Territories, Yukon, Alberta and hy pavilions are definitely worthwhile and the British, Czechoslovakian, United Nations, Australian and German pavilions should be included at some time in your three days. China's Pavilion is very commercial, but ‘Be sure to take the free SkyTrain ride to and from the Canada Pavilion’ should be included if only because this is the first time China, the USSR and the United States have all exhibited at one time. e There are many corporate pavilions, most of them excellent. General Motors’ Spirit Lodge show is worth a very, very long wait in line and is an absolute “must.” An elderly Kwakiut! storyteller ponders the humanity of high technology in transportation. “Are our machines making us more like humans or more like machines?” he asks. He recalls legends of a Magic Canoe in which you had merely to sit, “wish where you wanted to go, take one stroke, and you were there.” Special magical effects through the use of laser lights make this a superb presentation. e Air Canada put a restored DC-3 in its pavilion and simulates its start-up at the beginning of the multi-screen slide presentation, complete with spinning propeller. puffs of smoke and the smell of exhaust. ¢ BCTV gives you a look at the producers of TV news and also provide space for the B.C. Lottery Corp. where you get a free ticket, put it into a computer and learn where in the world, and on what date, that particular number sequence won a prize and of how much e Canadian Pacific is said to have an excellent pavilion (in which Cominco is represented) as do CN and Telecom Canada. Accommodation: The Vancouver newspapers, in special Expo classifications, are full of accommodation offers and a few telephone calls would probably locate adequate accommodation within most peoples’ means. With SkyTrain, don't be afraid to be away out in New Westminster — you'll be less than half-an-hour from the World's Fair e Entertainment: There's free entertainment all over the site. However, spectators were disappointingly few Fortunately, the school bands were from the Lower Mainland and travel costs were not significant for them The Kootenay /Boundary area has the week spanning July Ist (Sun., June 29 through Sat., July 5) and will be presenting “Motherlode of Dreams.” Contemporary songs and turn-of-the-century characters will help to portray dreams of ideals and fortunes of life in this part of B.C. Presentation will be made in the bandshell in the huge Plaza of Nations as well as at other entertainment Tocations within the B.C. Pavilion: Conclusion: Don't miss Expo if you can possibly attend. You'll be proud you're a Canadian and a British Columbian but, equally important, you'll thoroughly enjoy yourself.
