Mealing wel! deserves this ac- colade, having’ impressed many gasrons with her untiring efforts on their behalf. The. library’s contribution of Sun- fiesta was a puppet show held in warm, dry conditions in the basement meeting room. A capacity audience of parents and children enjoyed the Mexican-flavored sing-a-long with Serior Don Brown. An original pup- pet show given by Anne Kelly and Cecilia Schwarok featured a Mexican jumping jelly bean that provided Rosa Teddy and Jose Giraffe with the opportunity for lots of fun. The library’s summer reading Program is unfortunately in jeopar- dy. This year we did not receive the expected Challenge 90 grant’to em- ploy two students to run the program for us.

About the only Sunfest competitors who were dry after it was all over were players in the dart tour- nament at the Royal Canadian Legion. The rest, especially those hardy souls on the diamonds at Kinnaird Park, were soggy, but deter- mined to finish what they had started. In the end, mother nature gave the slo-pitch players a break letting up on the rain just long enough for NRS to beat Hi Arrow 23-12 in the A division championship in the fourth annual mixed tourney. In the B Division it was Bonnett’s Men’s Wear beating the Mohawk Amigos while KC Recycling of Fruitvale beat Savoy Inn of Nelson in the C Division final. Of the 22 entrants in the Dart tourney Castlegar’s Wayne McCargar was the man with the pinpoint ac- curacy as he won the singles‘competition and then teamed up with Rosemary Barley to take the doubles title. Nelson native Sharon Berikoff was named the best women competitor in the tourney. In what some were calling the Rainfest Biathlon, Gerald Klassen, representing Gerick’s Cycle and Sports in Trail, posted a time of 1:32:31 to win the overall title. Sharon Best of South Slocan was the fastest woman on the course clocking in at 1:43:49. Tree An- a ve } —— arch dervon was second in 2:02:56 while Castlegar’s Janice Kuzyk was third in 2:22:54.

There were no slouches in the 40-and-over men’s event as Trail’s John Palmason’s time of 1:58:4 was two minutes faster than Gerry Coulson of Trail while Bert McCrath of Fruitvale was third. In the mixed-team event, Sylvia Stevens and Gun- ter Retterath, of Nelson and Winlaw respectively, came in at 2:05:44 to post the fastest one-two punch while Nelson natives Kathy McMaster and Joanne Stinson were the top women’s team in a time of In the men’s team event Ken Simonen and Lonnie Gladdish of Trail were the top racers recording a time of 1:37 while Al Avinger and Bruce Morrison of Nelson were second at 1:44:41 and Bruce Kenneway of for third place. GERALD KLASSEN Castlegar and Sam Saprunoff of Kelowna teamed up Gastineau may join Lions' den yet VANCOUVER (CP) — Defensive end Mark Gastineau may be heading for the CFL with the British Colum- bia Lions, providing he clears waivers im the NFL. Gastineau, once leader of the Sack Exchange pass rush of the New York Jets, was placed on waivers last week, Jets president Steve Gutman confir- med Tuesday. The six-foot-five, 255-pound Gastineau had been on the New York suspended list after walking out on the Jets during the 1988 NFL season. **Mark indicated a desjre to return to football,"’ Gutman said from team headquarters in Long Island, N.Y. “"We have no desire for him to play here.”” Murray Pezim, owner of the Lions, indicated last week Gastineau would be signed by the CFL team — if he became a free agent. Gastineau, 33, was named to the Lions’ board of directors last Sep- tember after stock promoter Pezim purchased the debt-ridden team from community ownership. The former all-pro defensive end was befriended by Pezim last year while Gastineau was training to become a professional boxer. Gastineau and companion Brigitte Nielsen both were named to the Lions’ board by Pezim. They accom- panied the flamboyant owner to the 55-yard line before a CFL game to participate in a ceremonial kickoff. The boxing career and his affair with Danish actress Nielsen apparen- tly are over for Gastineau. Young Americans enjoy hospitality in French Open PARIS (AP) — Andre Agassi has a few days off to work on his designer stubble. Jennifer Capriati will be rolling up credits in hee self-designed school course called Tourism 101. Agassi out-powered Michael Chang on Tuesday, stripping the 18-year-old defending champion of his French Open men’s tennis title with a 6-2, 6- 1, 4-6, 6-2 display of muscle. The glitzy 20-year-old from Las Vegas will play Friday against un- seeded Swede Jonas Svensson, whom Agassi has beaten in both their previous meetings. Capriati, 14, who in other circum- stances would be attending Grade 8 in Florida, won 6-2, 6-4 over seventh- seeded Mary Joe Fernandez. That makes Capriati the youngest semifinalist in Grand Slam history, going against 16-year-old Monica Seles on Thursday. “[’m supposed to be doing and things,"’ Capriati said. “But 1 think just being here and seeing places like the enough.” Seles, seeded No. 2, stretched her winning streak to 30 matches, but had to rally from two points from defeat to beat Manuela Maleeva 3-6, 6-1, 7- 5. Top-ranked Steffi Graf and Jana Novotna meet in the other women’s semi. Graf, who like Capriati, has not dropped a set in the tournament, beat Conchita Martinez 6-1, 6-3, while Novotna defeated Katerina Maleeva 4-6, 6-2, 6-4. In mixed doubles, Nicole Provis of Australia and Danie Visser of South Africa ‘defeated Carling .Bassett- Seguso of Toronto and Ken Flach of the United States 4-6, 7-5, 6-3. Eiffet Foweris~ tearning In junior men’s singles, American Ivan Baron eliminated Robert Janecek of Richmond Hill, Ont., 6-2, 62, and Davide Scal Italy defeated Daniel Nestor of Toronto 7- 6 (7-2), 6-1. Consistency the key in whoolly weather Open picture of consistency when the weather was anything but as he fired a pair of 74s to finish two strokes off the pace. Defending champion Kent Brown By CasNews Staff Dan Dup wasn't going to let a little rain spoil his parade in the final round of the Sunflower Open at the Castlegar and District Golf Club Sunday. So the Genelle native simply went out and ignored the elements on his way to posting his second straight round of one-over-par 73 to win the 29th annual tourney. With rain pounding the course throughout the final round, Dupuis was steady while some pre-tourney favorites dropped out of contention. Trail’s Derek Smister was. also a of Colville, Wash. and another United States golfer, Dave Morberg of Kalispell, Mont. tied for third with two round totals of 149. For some in the field of 240.golfers, scores ballooned into the stratosphere, while seasoned winners like Castlegar’s Danny Walker and Bill Perrehudoff shot respectable 36- hole scores of 151 and 154 respec- tively, but were still well off Dupuis” mark. It’s Dupuis’ second straight local tourney win as he walked away with the Nelson Labor Day Open last year. Pre-tourney favorite Brian DeBiasio of Nelson shot an opening round 77 and ded to name By CasNews Staff While there was plenty of hoopla with Sunfest here last weekend, the Castlegar Westars left the city to make a noise of their own by winning the Portuguese Cup soccer champion- ship in Oliver Sunday. Frank Costa was the hero in the championship game scoring with just under 10 minutes left as the Stars beat defending champion Penticton 1-0. “That (Costa’s) was a big goal,”’ said player/coach Carlos Amaral Monday. “‘After that we moved a forward back to defence and just tried to protect the lead. When we won, ewveryone was jumping high in the air. It was a great feeling.”” Louie Costa scored three goals and Herb Amaral had another for Castlegar in a first game 4-2 win over Osooyos to put the Stars into the final. The host team from Oliver was the other entry in the four-team tourney. Penticton has held the Cup since 1986 which was the last year Castlegar won it. (Castlegar now has the right to host next year’s edition of the annual event. The Stars started the weekend off on a winning note that just carried right on through as the team beat the Nelson Oldtimers in regular league play in Nelson Saturday. Brian Gorman, Herb Amaral and Bob Couperus potted one apiece as the Stars beat the Nelson Oldtimers in a West Kootenay Soccer League game in Nelson. The Stars sit in second place in the six-team league with a record of 3-1-2. Top 3 for SHSS athlete By ED MILLS Staff Writer. Stanley Humphriés secondary school student Wendy Closkey knocked almost a full minute from her best time to finish third in the 1,500 metre race walking event at the provincial high school track and field championships in Burnaby last weekend. In her third competitive race ever — she took up race walking in March — the Grade 9 athlete posted a time of eight minutes, 23 seconds to come third out of a field of 21 And the amazing thing, according to coach Jessie Zielkie, is Closkey could have finished first if she hadn’t been forced into a slow start “There were 21 people in the race so it was really crowded at the start and after the first 200 metres she (Closkey) was in about 21st spot. “But she made her way up slowly and by the final, bell lap she was fifth. 1 think if there weren't so many people she would have won it,”’ said Zielkie. The two other members of the SHSS team who made the trip, Grade 10 students Aimie Chernoff and Amy Rogers, also posted respectable finishes at what was the highest calibre provincials Zielkie’s seen in her seven years of coaching. Chernoff made the final heat in the 1500 metres and finished 12th overall while Rogers couldn't crack the final eight placing 15th overall “It was an open-age class event so (SHSS athletes) were competing against Grade 12s . . . and some of those kids on the coast train all year round so the meet was of very high quality,"’ said Zielkie For all three girls the provincials were a chance to see what level they have to aspire to be the best in the province, says Zielkie, adding that because they are so young, all three have a chance to become champs. “Each time (Closkey’s competed) she’s taken a minute off her time, and she’s only done it three times so if she keeps at it, by Grade 12, she'll be a with a 74 Sunday to finish five shots off the pace. Local pros Wayne Gamborski and Kevin Biln shot 162 and 169 respec- tively while Wandermere’s Bil! Ross shot the lowest second-round score of one-under 71 after opening with a 79 which put him too far back to,catch Dupuis. B.C. ”* says Zielkie. As for Chernoff and Rogers: “They now know how much they Tiave to do for next year. It's good to know what's expected of you.”” The track and field provincials is the last event of the athletic’ year for SHSS and the school is holding an awards banquet tonight to honor athletes and coaches.
