U COMM UN ITY N E ws July 26, 1987 SPORTS Molson takes mixed slowpitch tourney Gouk said the service club made a small profit from the tournament, which also included a Bavarian garden. The club's youth group, Inter-Act, operated the concession and also made a small profit. There was also a tournament dance which Gouk called “very successful.” “This is the first of what we hope is a long string (of tournaments),” he said. However, next year the tourney will be held earlier, perhaps in May.

Today, a piece of masking tape underneath a slot in the dugout bat racks carries his name. He's starting now. Manny Lee, the regular second baseman until just before the all-star break, be- came a victim of the numbers game. To make room for re. liever Don Gordon on the 24-man roster, the Jays sent Lee to their farm team, Class AAA Syracuse. Toronto manager Jimy Williams wanted five start ing pitchers and five relie- vers, and that meant some one had to go. Gordon, 46 with a 1.70 ERA in 40 games with Syracuse, was elevated to the patent club. “I was kind of shocked,” said Gordon about his prom. otion. “I mean, I knew I could Mota Player bears strain to come out on top viet goalkeeper Yuri Okro- shidze while efforts by Taiwo Enegwea, Christopher Nwoso and Bawa Abdulahi were unsuccessful.

Osondu won the Golden Ball award as the tourna- ment’s top player. Nikiforov and Moussa Traore of the Ivory Coast shared the Bol- den Shoe award. After the match, in which his team had dominated long stretches, Nigerian coach Sebastian Broderick wore a pained smile in defeat. “I think we had the better side today but luck was not our side,” he said. Broderick suggested his players were perhaps a little flat after failing to take the lead in the second half. help the Blue Jays, but they hadn't made many moves all year. “So why now, especially when they're winning and playing well?” Williams, leaning to his veterans as the American League East pennant race heats up, decided to go with the seven-year veteran lorg.

By TOM MALONEY Canadian Press Liisa Savijarvi can't walk yet, but that didn't stop her from racing a souped-up Ford Mustang that, believe it or not, was part of the Canadian ski team's dryland training camp at Mont Tremblant, Que., this week. “I got out of the car and I thought, ‘Ha!’ Molson Indy, here I come,’ ” said Savijarvi, the 23-year-old skier who shattered her right leg and crushed a vertebra skiing in downhill training 18 weeks ago in Vail, Colo. The injuries ruined her Olympic dreams and sent her ona painful journey of therapy. This week she returned from Tremblant to visit the fracture clinic at Sunnybrook Medical Centre, hoping for permission to try walking without crutches. With many months of therapy remaining, she expresses no self-pity. In fact, she's determined to be a model of courage for her teammates. “To tell you the truth,-I just felt I was very lucky,” said Savijarvi from the Mont Tremblant Lodge. “I had a bad accident — a lot of people don’t walk away from broken backs. “Sure, there are times you don’t want to think of the long road ahead, because for so long it seemed so close and now you're working from scratch again. That's tough for any athlete, but you have to be confident of what you're made of, what brought you there to begin with.” TRICKY LIGHT On a hazy March day which cast flat light over the slopes, Savijarvi flew into the air on a part of Vail's downhill run called the Roller Coaster. National coach Currie Chapman said Savijarvi, second-ranked downhill- er on the team after Laurie Graham, never saw the ground coming. The high-speed landing drove her thighbone through the right knee with the force of a jackhammer. The knee, said Dr. Joseph Schatzker, chief of orthopedic surgery at Sunnybrook, literally “exploded.” Savijarvi still racing Schatzker inserted two plates and 14 screws during a five-hour operation to repair the leg. Spinal surgery followed. Savijarvi travelled to Quyebec from her Muskova home last Friday to show her teammates she had survived. She knew, as did coach Chapman, that her crash, witnessed by younger skiers, could have traumatic effects. “I know what goes through the girls’ minds,” said Chapman earlier this summer. “Do I really want to take that much risk?’ ” Karen Lee, 21, on the comeback trail from shredded knee. ligaments, did some serious thinking after the season. “I-can’t help but think of Liisa, but for my sake I have to block it out,” said Lee, of Rossland. “It’s something you can’t think of out of the starting gate.” FEEL THE THRILL Savijarvi went to Mont Tremblant to reunite herself with her friends, to feel “half-human, half-athletic” again. On the auto racetrack, being used by Chapman because steering a car demands similar mental skills as those required by a skier to glide through a ski course, Savijarvi reacquainted herself with the thrill of the downhill. “You want to run out turns, but be set up enough for the next turn so you're running as close to the purest line you can,” said Savijarvi. “You know you're slowing down because of one of the errors you-made. It was great.” Before the accident, Savijarvi's highly-tuned body performed knee extensions with 70-pound weights strapped to her ankles; now, she has worked up to five pounds. Each lift is a struggle. And the more painful therapy, she said, is yet to come. “You have to be very honest about an injury. You don't try to kid yourself and say, ‘I'll be skiing by September,’ because I know I won't be.” an equipment bag in the Weekend Wrap-Up Jays’ clubhouse before leav ing for the minors.

Since that time I have been hearing rave reports of the coming performance. This evening I learned that the author and producer of the pageant is a talented Grand Forks poet, author, “beautiful lady” and grandmother, Ann Plot- nikoff. Sorry, Mrs. Plotnikoff and congratulations. Now to John Munday. Casilla 2424, Quito, Ecuador, S.A. April 22, 1987 “Yesterday afternoon we buried Gilberto. He would have turned 18 on Nov. 10. A four-car procession, with my Mazda pickup in the lead as official hearse, and the van, loaded with mourners, bringing up the rear, made the trip to Pomasqui’s cemetery in less than 10 minutes. ‘He ran across the overpass ...and flipped to his immediate death six metres below.’ “Three of our workmen had dug the hold in record time — it was like carving out concrete — the 12-meter yellow nylon rope we'd bought for the occasion was soon looped around Gilberto’s dark blue coffin, and dozens of his many, many friends stood quietly on varying levels of the uneven terrain. We reminded ourselves again of God’s many promises that turn every Christian burial into a celebration. “Last Saturday morning Gilberto and his friend, both of them Shuar (Jivaro) Indian boys and both of them blind, asked permission to go into Quito for a special Mathematics class. They were to be back here at 2 p.m. Luis was back home by 11 a.m., accompanied by Lenin. sighted boy who had joined them. A kind lady who had witnessed the accident had driven them all the way out here. Gilberto was already in Heaven. “Crossing the overpass in front of the airport, he mistakenly assumed he'd reached the sidewalk. With Luis and Lenin screaming and pleading with him to stop, he ran across the overpass street, hit the “protective” railing, lost his balance and flipped to his immediate death six meters below. His broken body was taken eventually to the morgue in the basement of the big Social Security Hospital. “By Easter Sunday morning I obtained permission from the police to transport him-to the Police Morgue for the required autopsy. I could relate to Joseph of Arimathea as my journey through hospital corridors took me to the big underground laundry where I begged a couple of sheets. Gilberto’s original shroud was already soaked in blood. “Jorge and I pulled him from the pool of blood in which he was now lying and laid his body in the coffin we'd bought and placed by the bed in the morgue. We nailed the lid on, placed the whole thing in the back of the pickup and a few minutes later unloaded our 'y School even asked me to explain “death” to her 33 students. When they left, Gilberto’s high school class, together with the Inspector and one of the teachers, filed in. A few short weeks ago one of Gilberto's many dreams was realized as the San Antonio High School recognized and registered him as a full-fledged student. The staff were at first afraid to accept a blind boy as a student, but he proved to be outstanding. “The Mother Superior, some of her staff and several of the students and PTA members from the Blind School where Gilberto had his primary education brought two gorgeous floral wreaths. Everyone, it seems, genuinely loved him. Friends from HCJB and many from the church came to share our sorrow and our joy. “Yesterday afternoon, shortly before sunset, it wi all over. We returned home minus the casket and with the hymns “How Great Thou Art!” and “I'm only waiting for the Day when Christ will return” ringing in our ears. I sent a message via radio to the eastern jungle to advise Gilberto’s Jivaro family of his death and immediate “promotion”. That was early Monday morning, but as yet we've had no response. “A month before Gilberto left us, Rodolfo and Marcelo decided to rent an apartment in San Antonio. They are both working and Marcelo is studying at a technical high school. It was a congenial parting, they are still close enough to drop in any time of the day and sometimes night, and are enjoying the independence 20-plus-year-olds need and desire. “Two other alumni are trying a similar experiment in the same town. They are half-brothers and both have had problems with drugs. Yet they, too, keep in constant touch. Luis W. returned from the jungle after nearly a year's absence, was with Gilberto when he fell off the overpass and now occupies his bed. ‘We were asked to witness the butcher-like proceedings that followed...’ “Marco, 13, and Jose Gabriel, 8, our newest-comers, slept on the floor until recently. We now have bed-space for them and soon will be receiving a 12-year-old who has been virtually abandoned since his parents decided to separate and selected new spouses. We are still barely making a dent in the need that abounds everywhere. But your prayers for the 40-plus that make this their home could transform these young and mostly battered young lives and make this whole effort worthwhile. “The church continues to grow as does the Bible Correspondence School (and so does my pile of unanswered letters). I hope to postpone my proposed trip to Canada and the heart specialists there until the Teen Mission young people (close to 70 the final week) leave us in August. Dave and Sharon Okum’s sharing in all this has been a tremendous help. Thank you for your part! Much love from us all. John Munday and family READING PROGRAM . . .

Cashews Photo Reading program a hit By JUDY WEARMOUTH Librarian The Summer Reading Program at the Castlegar Library has had a very successful start, with 150 children registered for the sessions for three different age groups, and an extra group had to be created to accommodate a waiting list of 40. The Challenge ‘87 students, Viviana Abenante and Michell Campbell, are operating the program very smoothly from the new library — using the basement meeting room for crafts and checking the children’s reading progress; the almost complete children’s section for stories; the Kinsmen Park for outdoor games. They're finding the extra space and convenience a joy after their experience in previous years when they battled with d conditions and i heat in the library's former quarters. Parents bringing their children to the program and the children themselves all comment on how much they like the building, appreciating the airiness and spacious feeling given by the roof design, and chafing at the delay in opening for regular service. The latest news on the long-awaited metal shelving is that it was dispatched on July 16 and should be arriving anytime within the next two weeks. Meanwhile the Castlegar branch in the Pharmasave building is putting out record numbers of books (exceeding 300 per day on several occasions) and the staff are rushed off their feet. Patrons are expressing their appreciation of this temporary library location, grateful that library service did not have to be dislocated during the construction period and after the Kinnaird branch closed. Staff have also noted an increased use of the free shut-in service, finding they’re making more frequent deliveries to Roto Villa residents and other seniors.

The week was extremely successful with 61 students being placed in odd-jobs — that is jobs lasting less than five days. Last year's total of 55 jobs was easily surpassed, which is a positive note in our current economic situation. In addition, about 30 students have been placed in part-time or full-time work in the last two weeks. These numbers bring our total number of jobs for students over 300 for the summer. July has been the busiest month this summer, whereas traditionally the office begins to slow down during July and August. Though the total number of jobs to date is slightly below last year's, the increase in activity in the past few weeks may signal that July and August will bring more jobs for students Of the many jobs the Student Employment Centre has filled, several have been traditional, such as gardening, lawn-mowing, painting, moving and office work. But, some have been unique, including a tutor, a flutist to play at a luncheon, a writer for a book of memoirs and a tennis instructor. You must have a traditional or unique job to be done.
