Well, maybe can’t is too strong a word. Amaral, a local soccer player and organizer who has _wheedled, bargained and generally pestered city alderman for two, years to make Work begins on ball fields By Ed Mills ‘Staff Writer Local ball players will have one new, and one improved, diamond to play ball on next summer. Work on the diamond at the Com- munity Complex is winding down and improvements on the pony field at Kinnaird Park are scheduled to be completed this summer, said Kenn Hample, the city’s director of engineering and public works. *“*At the Complex, sod was laid in the outfield this spring and we just finished putting shale on the infield, as well as a warning track on the perimeter of the outfield,”’ said Hample. As for the ponyfield, Hample said the city is looking at extending the outfield fence as was requested by local sports associations. “We're looking to complete that this summer. We're working with the local slo-pitch association to create a diamond that will meet their requirements,”’ he said. Hample couldn’t set a price tag for all the work and wouldn't venture to offer a ball-park figure because the work hasn’t been completed, so the final bills aren’t in yet. In a presentation to the city’s parks and recreation committee in June, Castlegar slo-pitch Association president John Phillips said local teams had raised over $5,000 to be put towards field improvements and that the association may provide funds yearly for field upkeep. . Phillips couldn’t be reached for comment Friday Fight's on over dimples CHICOPEE, Mass. (AP) — The two top golf ball makers in the United States are lined up for another round of patent wrangling — this time over dimples. For enthusiasts, it’s all just part of a fervent quest for the longest ball and its multimillion-dollar rewards. “*You can’t imagine the interest,"" says Rich Skyzinski, manager of media relations for the U.S. Golf Association in Far Hills, N.J. ‘‘It is everything . . . there are two-piece and three-piece balls. **You’re talking the shaft of a club and the different alloys that are u: to make those and what’s best and what gives you two extra yards from off the tee and weights on clubs and grooves on clubs. Put them all together and it probably doesn't make any sense to the average golfer.”” Litigation has naturally followed as companies pumped more money into research. The latest suit, filed July 3 in Boston, pits Acushnet Co. of New Bedford against Spalding and Even- flow Co. Inc., the Tampa, Fla. repairs on the Kiwanis soccer field, finally got what he was after when city crews began maintenance on the field last week. Amaral had been complaining that the field next to the Community Complex was suited more for a parking Jot or gravel pit than playing soccer. With large bare patches, a beach in front of both goals and sewer pipes sticking two to three inches out of the ground, the field, said Amaral, has been almost unplayable, certainly dangerous, and at the very least, em- barrassing when out of town teams came here to play. The city’s new director of engineering and public works Kenn Hample said a crew just finistied aerating. the field (which basically means poking holes in the surface so water and nutrients can get down to the roots of the grass) this week, is currently gonducting soil tests to determine fertilizing requirements and will do patch-work on some of the field’s worst areas. Hample, who filled the city engineer's job in May after it had been vacant since January, said time will tell if the field can be saved with periodic maintenance, or if the city will be forced to totally rebuild it. “*We'll see what effect this kind of maintenance activity has. If it im- proves it significantly — well, not if — that will be our standard main- tenance practice,’’ said Hample. “If we find that it does not improve the quality of the field we'll have to take a look at what can be done. But we're pretty confident this procedure will work. If it doesn’t, we'll have to take a look at rebuilding the field and that’s something we don’t want to do."" Hample said the city had received a nurhber of from residents “I’m really pleased they finally got it done,"’ said Amaral. ‘‘I was hoping they could do it before this tourney, so now we at least have a decent field to play on.”” Amaral added that all his work bugging seems worth it about the quality of the turf. Amaral, who plays on the Castlegar Westars in the Kootenay Soccer League, says the improvements come just in time because he’s in the process now, and now that he’s succeeded, he can turn his attention to other things that could use some work around the city. “Hopefully we can get some more of setting up a $2,600, eigh’ soc- cer tournament in the city for August 25-26. GETTING A GRIP Th > it was lesson No. 1 District Golf Cour to get some tips from the grip — for Japanese students, who are on an exchange in Castlegar, as they met at the Castlegar and ‘Thored b afternoon. Pro Wayne CosNews photo by Ed Mills Lightning labels golfers CALGARY (CP) — ter he was hit by lightning on an In the days af- Alberta golf course, Ron Gorsche says he never quite felt he was back with the living. “I didn’t feel like I was fitting in,’’ Gorsche said of acitivities he used to take for granted. ‘‘I was just obser- ving things.’” Gorsche and his golfing partner, Ray Wellman, were struck by light- ning July 17 in High River, just south of Calgary. They are among seven Albertans, six of them golfers, to be hit in the last two weeks. Gorsche, who spent two days in hospital after the incident, has hit the fairways again. But he says he still Time a MONTREAL (CP) — Bronfman, the Montreal Expos owner says, ‘‘time is running short,"’ and he isn’t talking about his baseball team’s chances in the race for the National League East Division title. Charles Bronfman, who announced several months ago he plans to sell the team he has owned since its inception in 1969, was referring to the time frame for Quebec investors to step forth and keep the team in Montreal. He has set Sept. 1 as a deadline for a local ownership group. “If Quebec buyers don’t emerge, then your next step is to look outside Quebec for buyers who will keep the parent of Spalding Sports The two companies account for 80 per cent of the U.S. golf ball market with Acushnet making Titleist and Spalding producing Top Flite. Acushnet alleges Spalding violated its patents on golf dimples, surface indentations. Acushnet has filed two previous suits — one on the dimples and another on golf ball molding — and now all three are before the cour- ts team in "he inan interview published Thursday in the Montreal Gazette. ‘‘If that doesn’t work, then you throw it open. “There are names out there right now of people in the United States. people who would buy this team quickly. I think everybody knows that.” The question is whether the U.S. investors would want to keep the team in Montreal, where attendance has suffers nervous tension when there’s lightning about. In an interview Thursday he recalled an electrical storm after his accident. “The first’ lightning storm I drove through in the car, where you're sup- posed to be safe. I was quite anxious.”” During a thunderstorm on Thur- sday 11-year-old David Shelton became the seventh person to be hit when he was blasted from his bicycle in southeast Calgary. Shelton was in critical condition in hospital Thur- sday night “‘It’s like someone hitting you with a board,” said Jerry Moore, one of factor been in the lower echelons of the league in recent seasons, and is on a pace of 1.5 million spectators in 1990, about 200,000 fewer than 1989. four golfers taken to hospital after being hit by lightning Wednesday at Calgary's Shawnee Slopes golf cour- se. While heading to the sixth tee, Moore and the others in his foursome — Steve Sinik, 26, Bob Hurry, 57 and Ernest Evans, 60 found shelter under the branches of a cluster of trees. According to lightning experts, that's a danger zone. “+1 got that sudden impact and I felt myself going down. I couldn't stand p,” said Moore, 43, But he looked on the bright side. “As long as I could hear myself or feel myself, I knew that I wasn’t dead in sale Bronfman has pegged the selling price at $100 million. Claude Brochu, president of the team, said, ‘‘This franchise is a viable could smell cates Moore struggled to help his buddies — one of whom was unconscious and another unable to speak — after the lightning bolt hit Wednesday evening. But despite the ordeal and an aching left leg, Moore said he'll continue to golf “It certainly isn’t going to stop me from going out for a game of golf, but I may be a little picky on the day.”’ Moore and Sinik were released from hospital Thursday, but Evans and Hurry were still under obser- vation in Rockyview Hospital inten- sive care unit late Thursday night the burn,’’ he field P maybe some (soccer) net(ting) and stuff like that,’’ he said. Proud to be wimps Bill Perehudoff and Denise Pottle proved to be the biggest wimps on the Castlegar Golf Course last Sunday — and they’re proud of it. Why not? Winning any golf tour- nament is a bonus, even if it’s called the Wimp Open. Perehudoff shot a one over par 73 to win the men’s event and Pottle had an 89 to take the wimpiest women’s title. The tourney’s called the wimp because the pin placements and teeof- fs are arranged so the course plays easier than usual. “‘Normally for men, the course plays about 6,500 yards,"’ explains club assistant pro Wayne Gamborski “We probably had it down to 6,000, and the pins are right in the middle of each green. As a result a lot of people hit it over the flag and have a trickey little down hiller (putt) coming back,”’ he said. So while the tournament might be called the wimp, only one under par score proves it plays otherwise Al Akselson with a 75 finished second to Perehudoff while Gambor- ski and club pro Denny McArthur both shot 78s to tie for third place. Terry Perehudoff and Nick Ogloff were next at 79. Sharon Bystrom carded a 90 for second place in the women’s wimp while Diony McArthur shof 91 After taking off. strokes for han- dicaps it was Ogloff winning with a 65 while Terry Perehudoff and Andy Popoff shot 67s and Morris Waite and Walter Tymofievich had 68s. Olwyn Ringheim was the winner with a 70 after taking off her han- dicap strokes while Kay Hominiuk and Bystrom had 73s and Jenny Brown had a 75. Helen Roberts and Marie Prokop both shot 79. Golf Notes: The Castlegar Course will be a busy place this Sunday trying to squeeze in a pair of tournaments The Dan Markin Memorial — in memory of Castlegar resident and avid golfer Dan Markin who died of cancer last summer — and the Kootenay Region Credit Union Tour- nament are both on tap Sunday. $20 of the $50 registration fee in the Markin Memorial will go to the Canadian Cancer Society. of Expos property. Everyone just measures our value by attendance, but that’s not the only thing to look at “You have to consider other fac- Vancouver group awaits expansion team terms VANCOUVER § (CP) questionnaire being mailed to prospective applicants holds the key to whether Vancouver bids for a major league baseball franchise for 1993, says Senator Ray Perrault “Once we get a good look at the questionnaire we'll know better whether we want to proceed,” Perrault, the spokesman for a coalition of indivuidals and groups seeking a major league team for the city, said. “There are people in Vancouver still interested in-being involved if the terms are reasonable.” A formal bid for a National League franchise calls for-an application fee of $100,000 US that will be refunded only if the city makes the expansion short list. Perrault said he didn’t know if the Japanese company currently negotiating to buy the Triple-A Van- couver Canadians of the Pacific Coast League was offering to put up the money for a big-league bid “Apparently the questionnaire will detail exactly how much the franchise fee will be and how long the new clubs will have to wait to share in television revenue,’ he said. “We could be in for a real shock One member of the expansion com- mittee told me recently, ‘Let’s see how many people are still in the room when we announce our terms.’ "" Since merging recently with Carlings, Molson’s has been backing away from direct sports ownership in favor of sponsorship agreements. *Molson’s has always been excited about the possibility of helping to bring major league baseball to Van- couver,”” brewery spokesman Bill Chambers said Monday from com pany headquarters in Toronto. “But now, rather than being @ direct investor, we're looking more to being involved from a sponsoring rights area.”” tors as well. For one thing, we're a profitable franchise. We also have one of the best organizations — per sonnel-wise — in baseball."" Interested U.S. groups would likely be businessmen seeking ari expansion franchise. The National League has announced it will expand by two cities in 1993, but cities such as Buffalo, Phoenix and Vancouver would assure themselves of not having to compete for a team if they could land the Ex . Bob Rich Jr. representing Buffalo's expansion bid, has already spoken in formally with Bronfman Martin Stone, who represents Phoenix interests, said ‘“‘If the stadium falls through in Phoenix, | would be interested in purchasing the * Expos with an eye toward keeping them there."’ Senator Ray Perreault, heading a Vancouver group, said: ‘‘We are in- terested in any ball club. We've spoken_to (San Francisco Giants owner) Bob Lurie in the pas: and we have talked to Mr. Brochu.”’
