BEAVER SLEEPOVER - Akela (Carol Montgomery) teaches leat identifi: ation during Beaver sleepover Friday at Kinnaird Hall. Top photo, from left: David Cundy, Colin Wiotrzyk, David Stevenson, Akela, Eight Beavers, one Scout assistant and four leaders attended the fourth Annual District Whitetail Sleepover at the Kinnaird Hall Friday. Jeffery Guindon directed a game of dodgeball until all boys arrived. The program began with the opening ceremony, a prayer and a short explanation of program changes because of inclement weather. An obstacle treasure hunt with an event and clue at each of seven stations was strung throughout the hall. The final clue led the boys back to the centre of the hall where they sat around “Big Brown Beaver” and collected their treasure — a bag of chips. While sitting, Akela (cub master) showed them a cub handbook and explained different things they had touched on in previous programs. Next, the boys made a scene on paper plates with macaroni spirals and bows and natural items. After the glue dried, the plates were sprayed gold. The mess cleaned up, everyone played the game “Kings” in a darkened hall. Slowing activities down, Akela had leaf identifica. tion, then played a game to reinforce what they learned. Tim Waldie explained campfire etiquette and blankets, then led a sing-a-long around an artificial campfire. Mugs of hot chocolate and squares were served while boys watched a video of the day camp and sleepover. Ken Martin, a cub leader, videotaped the event. Tents were set up while boys prepared for bed.

Beavers hold sleepover assigning tents to surprised boys, everyone participated in telling the bedtime story. Saturday morning after rising, everyone parti- cipated in cleaning up, dismantling tents, and setting up for a breakfast of french toast, orange juice and milk. The closing ceremony was a shared event’ with Castlegar boys showing everyone how they closed their meeting and Kinnaird singing a closing prayer. Everyone was thanked and wished a happy summer. As a souvenir of the event, everyone received a large Beaver crest. Most boys then proceeded on to participate in planting “Trees for Canada.” Approximately 60 Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Venturers, leaders and parents took part in the planting under the direction of the Ministry of Forestry. Everyone moved on to Nancy Greene picnic site for a lunch of hot dogs, beans, juice, popcorn and apples provided by the district couneil. Pledge cards were signed verifying the boys planted trees. Pledges cannot be collected unless these cards are signed. For most sections, this was the final event of the season. Scouts and Venturers have the Canadian Jamboree in Guelph July 3. Those not attending the Jamboree have the opportunity to attend a scout camp in Montana later in July. Wilson defends proposal OTTAWA (CP) — A prop- osal to index government bonds to the rate of inflation would help old-age pension- ers in the long run and should not be seen as the govern- ment favoring investors over the elderly, Finance Minister Michael Wilson said Tuesday. The idea, originally floated by Liberal Leader John Tur- ner during last summer's election campaign, is one of many which Wilson said he is considering in his attempt to trim government costs, . . . The purpose for considering this, and it's only a consideration at this point, is because there's a pos- sibility of saving money for the government on interest payments,” Wilson said. “We're being charged now on interest in the market somewhere between 10 per cent and 11 per cent on bonds. By issuing indexed bonds, we might be able to get that down to between seven and eight per cent. “That represents quite a significant savings to gov- ernment, and it's on that basis that we're considering it.” The idea behind indexed bonds is that they protect the investor if inflation begins to rise by guaranteeing a rate of return above the rate of in- flation. With this guarantee in hand, investors are willing to accept a lower rate of interest on bonds. The government saves money if inflation remains under control, but could lose if there were a surge in the cost of living. Inflation aver- aged 4.4 per cent last year, a 13-year-low, and Wilson pre- dicted in his May 23 budget it will average 4.1 per cent this year and 4.2 per cent in 1986.

Cashews Photo by Doug Hervey Six locals qualify for games By The Associated Press New York Yankees got a terrific pitching performance from Ed Whitson and a dramatic, two-out home run from Dale Berra in the bot- tom of the ninth inning. Then the bottom out in the 11th because second baseman Willie Ran- dolph dropped a throw. “We didn't look too good in the field,” Martin said after Tuesday night's 4-1 loss to in 11 inn- ings. “We had 2 double play that we didn't get.” Martin referred to an error by Randolph, who dropped a grounder by Willie Upshaw with one out and runners on first and third in the 11th. Presumably, if Randolph had caught the ball, the Yankees might have turned a double play and killed the rally. As it was, it allowed the Blue Jays to score the tie-breaking run. “If I was at double-play depth, I would have made that play with my eyes closed,” Randolph said of the error. “But where I was playing, and the play being be given gfeater freedom to like that — bang-bang — I had to do too many things at once. “I had to find the base quickly without looking at it, and I had to watch the runner at third. I had to have four eyes to make that play. It wasn't a routine double play.” In the American League's other games, it was: Mil- waukee 5, Boston 3; Texas 6, California 4; Chicago 7, Se- attle 1; Oakland 4, Kansas City 3.

Overall, NL teams com- bined to score 74 runs in five “We turned it loose to- night,” said manager John Felske, whose Phillies got the most hits (27) and scored the most runs in the team's 103-year history. “We scored more runs tonight than all of June.” Entering the game, the Phillies — who also set team records for most doubles (10), extra-base hits (14) and total bases (47) — had scored just 25. They weren't alone in their assault on a night when only one pitcher — Houston's Mike Seott — hurled a com- plete game. In all, 36 pitchers gave up 121 hits.

NHL owners won't bend TORONTO (CP) — National Hockey League owners The major player awards will be presented in a move from team to team. 60-minute tribute tonight. The annual entry draft By CasNews Staff Six Castlegar area residents will be travelling to Nanaimo for the B.C. Summer Games Aug. 1-4 as part of the Zone 1 horseshoe pitching team. The six won spots on the team at zone playoffs Sunday at Kinnaird Park. The six include: Walter Kinakin of Thrums in the men's A event, Garry Rayner of Robson in the men's B, Jim Feeney of Castlegar in the men's C, Michelle Roberts of '-B, Mabel. Castlegar in ladies’ Kinakin of Thrums in ladies’ C and Annie Rayner of Robson in ladies’ D. Others on the 10-member team include: Cliff Miller of Nelson in men's D, George Kinakin of Grand Fork: the men's E, Jack Regnier of Trail in the senior men's B, Shane Heasman of Creston in the junior boys’ A and Jason Angerilli of Fruitvale in the junior boys’ B. Liberalization of free agency, almost non-existent the way the system now operates, is a principle of the position paper of the NHL Players’ Association in its talks with owners about a new collective agreement. The pact now in force does not expire until September 1986, but the players have served notice they'll seek significant changes. VILAS, NAVRATILOVA Tennis stars to retire By The Canadian Press Rocked by recent losses, two of tennis’ biggest stars confirmed Tuesday that they plan to retire from the sport. American tennis star Mar tina Navratilova, who has dominated women's play for most of this decade, said she will retire from tennis within two years. Calling it the “saddest day of my life,” veteran tennis great Guillermo Vilas of Ar. gentina, who bowed out of a : Grand Prix tournament in Bologna, Italy, after losing to a little-known Yugoslavian, announced Tuesday he had played his last game. Rumors began circulating last week about Navrati lova's tennis future while she competed in the French Open tournament. Navratilova, originally from Czechoslovakia, lost to American Chris Evert Lloyd in the final Saturday Navratilova, 29, confirmed the rumors while spending several days relaxing in the southern Spanish coastal re- sort town of Marbella. She told the Spanish news agency EFE that after re tiring from profesisional ten. nis she plans to devote her- self to her “big hobbies” — reading, viewing films and participating in a foundation named for her and dedicated to underprivileged young: sters. CAN'T FIGHT TIME After her defeat to Lloyd on Saturday, Navratilova said she believed her age was her principal rival on the court The Women's Tennis Asso- ciation dropped Navratilova on Monday to No. 2 in the world rankings behind Lloyd. Vilas, 32, made the an nouncement after losing to unheralded Goran Prpic 6-3, 64 “I don't know who to blame if it’s not myself,” Vilas told reporters after the defeat. “I apologize to the (tourna ment) organizers, the city of Bologna and to all the public. “In this moment I do not feel the courage to go on the court and I feel certain that the match with Prpie was the last game of my life.” Vilas had said before the French Open that he would retire from tennis if he could not improve his ranking within a year. Vilas won several major tournament victories in his impressive career. In 1977, he was the singles champion at both the French Open and the U.S. Open. NHL president John Ziegler, who says he expects talks to go to the wire, said player movement is something “we don't believe in as an end.” “The real question is,” said Ziegler on the opening day of the league's annual congress on Tuesday, “Are the players getting a fair share of the revenues of the total operation?” Compensation terms now are stiff. For example, if a free agent signs with a new team for $150,000 to $199,999, the new employer must give the previous employer a first-round and a second-round draft pick or a first-round pick and a player from the signing club after five players have been protected. It's not surprising few free agents are jumping from team to team. Owners would like to keep it that way.

Rangers continue in attempts to fill head hing posts. No re expe this week. At a meeting of the 21 general managers Tuesday, chairman Lou Nanne, general manager of the North Stars, said there had been discussion of.a rule change that would see teams play at full strength when coinciding minor penalties are called. The majority support the suggestion. Glen Sather — head coach, general manager and president of Edmonton Oilers — is among those speaking against the change, which is understandable.

The Sabres held a news conference Tuesday morning in Buffalo, N.Y., to unveil Schoenfeld, a popular former Sabre defenceman, as their choice, before Bowman sped off to the Metropolitan Toronto Convention Centre for the start of the league's annual meetings. Veteran forward Craig Ramsay will continue as a player-assistant coach and Bowman says he has asked Joe Crozier, an assistant coach last season, to take on a new ing a new position we hope Joe will be responsive to,” Bowman said. “We want to have more of an input into the development of players we've drafted who return to junior hockey. “NHL teams have not been doing a very good job eeu ee TI Bowman says teenagers drafted by NHL teams are being given too little attention after being returned to their junior teams. “Somebody like Joe would go into a city like Peter. borough (Ont.), watch the kids play, talk to the coach and help develop the player. Some junior teams don’t know what we're looking for in a player.” HAD ENOUGH In announcing his retirement as head coach, Bowman, 51, said: “I've had my fill of coaching. I feel as a coach I've reached the level I want to reach.” Bowman led his teams to an NHL-record 718 wins and five Stanley Cups through four decades as an NHL coach. “It took a little time to reach my decision, but it's time to go on to new challenges,” said the former Montreal Canadiens and St. Louis Blues coach. Schoenfeld, 32, the Sabres’ youngest coach, has little coaching experience, having begun last season as helmsman of the Sabres’ Rochester Americans farm team. But the Amerks lost only six of the 25 games Schoenfeld coached and Bowman was impressed Schoenfeld said the Sabres, who finished third in the NHL's Adams Division last season with the league's eighth-best record before bowing in the first round of the playoffs to Quebec Nordiques, “are headed in the right direction” and have “good young players who are on the verge.” Bowman, who has given up the Sabres coaching job to concentrate on his general manager duties on two separate occasions only to return to the bench later, said: “I will have nothing to do with the coaching other than the normal duties a (general) manager would have.” Sather said an exciting part of the game would be lost if the change is made. Kravski captures junior tennis title By PATRICIA WEST Saturday proved to be an excellent day for tennis play. ers who participated in the Castlegar. Junior Open. All events were round-robin with matches being the best of three sets. The closest match of the day was between Ian Farrell and David Kravski in the under-14 men's singles event. Several times the games went to deuce, but Kravski pulled through in the first set in a tie-breaker winning by only two points. He also won his last set 7-5. From that point, David Kravski went on to take the Under-14 championship de- feating Shane Bohnet in a three-set match. Rollen Raposo successfully took the All-Around Singles player award, while Tony Ozeroff won the Under-16 Singles Title. Rollen had very ttle opposition with the slight exception of Tim Hor coff. In the Under-16, Ozeroff, who had previously lost to Horcoff in numerous tourn aments, upset the match, winning in two sets: 7-5 and 64. In doubles, there were only two categories. For the Under-14 category, Ian Far rell and David Kravski over took Darryl Furey and Shane Bohnet in two sets. Also, in the Under-18 cate gory, Horcoff and Raposo de. feated Trent Dolgopol and Tony Ozeroff: 6-3 and 6-3. “It's starting to bunch up and I want to see it stay that way all year,” said the De troit skipper, whose team is enjoying a three-game win ning streak, one of the Tigers’ few of the season. “This can keep the heat on (Toronto). “They have to win every night. Somebody has to keep them under the gun. Let's see if they can survive. I don’t know if they can.” The Tigers couldn't offer any help Tuesday when day long rains forced postpone. ment of the second of a scheduled three-game series with Baltimore Orioles. De troit won the opener Monday with two runs in the 1ith inning for an 87 victory, trimming the Blue Jays lead to 5% games. The way the league sched. ule is set up, Anderson knows how important it is for his Eastern Division breth. ren to keep the Blue Jays in sight this month. “If they have this lead at the end the month, that ran away from the op- position in 1984. Detroit has scored 26 runs in three games and the top of the batting order — Lou Whitaker, Alan Trammell and Kirk Gibson—are get. ting on base, setting the stage for sluggers such as Lance Parrish and Darrell Evans. “This isn't a question mark baliclub,” said Evans. “Last year we had the hot streak early “We just have to hang in there and maybe we'll have one of those streaks yet this year.” And the recent spurt has the Detroit clubhouse jump. ing like it did throughout 1984. “The clubhouse was as animated (Monday) as it's been all year,” said Evans Anderson agreed. “I don't know if it's mom entum, but you get enthu siasm,” he said. “How can you have enthusiasm if you're not winning?”
