82 Castlégar News _Jowory 13, 1985 SPORTS The surgery performed Friday on the right bicep of Barry Pedersen sien Sut deply inte tho heant of Bosces Bruins and their playoff ambitions this season in the National Hockey League. Pederson has been the fulcrum of the Boston offence for three seasons, the one player who typifies Bruin hockey with his excellence in all phases of the game, at both ends of the ice. The 23-year-old centre won the big faceoffs, keyed the power play and killed Boston coach Gerry Cheevers always used Pederson in clutch situations. Now the weight of responsibility shifts to the shoulders of defenceman Ray Bourque and right winger Rick Middleton. The Bruins are only one point over .500 midway through the schedule and just six points ahead of last-place Hartford in the Adams Division standings. The Whalers have three games in hand on Boston and are a genuine threat to challenge for a playoff berth. Pederson had a fibrous tumor near the right bicep removed by an orthopedic surgeon at Massachusetts Canada Cup tournament in September. “We're a lot more Pe guperny about Barry's future after the second said Bruin Nate Greenberg. “The doctors feel he has an chance Injury hurts Bruins “He was the key to the power play, key to the penalty killing and played with Middleton in all the big situations. You take him away from Middleton and you just may lose two players playing at their maximum bilities.” i The Bruins went into Saturday's game at home against Detroit Red Wings with Tom Fergus, Steve Kasper, Fy ths tates pe ee men. Only the still. ping Fergus is sid. strong offensive threat and now he'll be subject to closer scrutiny by opping teams. CLUTCH PLAYER Pederson's leadership qualities will be missed the most. He has a been a player who ‘pesopies the cstinet Leltan his nea tenes youre as Woes was the player who came through in the clutch and in the spring of 1981 led the Cougars to the Memorial Cup tournament. He also has been outspoken at times. Earlier this season he was somewhat critical of the use of four lines by Cheevers, reasoning that the Bruins were more effective using three lines than four because he felt additional ice time brought out more from himself, Middleton and high-scoring left winger Charlie Simmer. It has been far from a normal year for Pederson. Following summer surgery, he broke a knockle on his right hand in a fight with Mario Marois of Quebec to come back next season.” Pederson is a native of Big River, Sask., who played his major junior hockey with Victoria Cougars in the Western League. He was the Bruins’ first-round draft pick in 1980 and had an immediate impact on the Boston team when he began playing full-time in the fall of 1981. The finest moments of his brief NHL career came in the spring of 1983 when Pederson scored 14 goals and had 32 points in 17 playoff games. He was instant offence and the perfect playmaker for the nifty Middleton. “As a player, Barry probably is one of the top three of four centremen in the league,” said former teammate Peter McNab, now with Vancouver Canucks. “And as a person, he's an even bigger part of the Boston team. “He's a young man who played a big role in the dressing room and helped create that positive atmos- phere in Boston. He'll be missed for his creativeness, both on and off the ice. in an game and missed the first 16 games of the schedule. And the p pain didn’t go away in his right arm. Pederson played 22 games this season with just four goals and eight assists. He entered the season with 130 goals and 320 points in 246 NHL games. Last season, he had 116 points and two years ago scored 46 goals. . The Bruins had been building for something.special this season. During the summer they shipped left winger Mike Krushelnyski, who played with Pederson and last year, to Oilers for Li to add speed down the middle. Later they acquired Simmer from Los Angeles Kings for as first-round draft pick. Boston general manager Harry Sinden figured he had added enough offence to balance a strong defence and the goaltending of Peter Peeters, perhaps enough to win a tough division after last year’s first-round loss in the playoffs to Montreal Canadiens.

After two days of marking, based on skiing ability and technique, 12, will be named to the western team which will travel to Mount St. Anne, Que., in early March to compete against 12 Eastern Canada skiers for 15 spots on the national demonstration team. The Canadian team will then participate in Interski XI Jan. 17-23, 1967, at Banff, Alta. About 3,000 ski instructors from 26 countries are expected to attend Inter. ski. Norm Crerar of Vernon, president of the Canadian Ski Instructors Alliance and chairman of the Interski or- ganizing committee, said Fri- day the event is held every four fears to tech- nical exchange between ski instructors from around the world. “There is no actual com- petition between national teams at Interski,” Crerar said. “It is a conference which allows instructors to dem- onstrate their skills, discuss technique and exchange ideas.” ON KOOTENAY LAKE Trout catch limited By CasNews Staff The Nelson Fisheries Branch is the annual trout catch in Kootenay Lake to five fish over 40 centi- metres as of April 1 to com- bat an “increased demand” for Prise’ -sized fish. to a Nelson Pieranm of Environment re- lease: “To ensure that the trophy-sized rainbows of Kootenay Lake continue to thrive, we will be implem- enting a new punch ecard system in April 1985 which will limit each angler to five main lake trout over 40 cen- timetres per year. “The purpose of this regu- lation: will be to spread the catch of large trout to as many anglers as “This ing on the lake, since suc- cessful anglers always have the option of releasing their live fish. The punch card may be modified in 1986 to include special tags which must ac- company the fish.” The new regulation is being implemented to ensure that the fishery “continues to consistently produce large fish,” the release says. “It may surprise a lot of people that our estimate of available main lake fish over five pounds is only between 2,500 and 3,500. Currently, the fishery is yielding close to this range. The e Fisheries Branch is in- creasing the number of fish in Kootenay Lake through & hatchery at Meadow Creek, and hopes to increase the number of wild fish in the Lardeau River over the next two to three years, although “the results won't be evident to fishermen for another four to five years.” Nelson regional fisheries biologist Harvey Andrusak notes a recent “attitude change” among fishermen, on several steelhead streams kill). I don't think we have to go that far on Kootenay Lake, but more live fish re- leases will result in better fishing for everyone,” says Andrusak. “I would be quite happy to see local sportsmen and/or resort owners promote a prize or award for the largest fish released rather than one for the largest one killed.” Pee Wees tie, lose Castlegar Pee Wee Reps played two hard fought games against a powerful Spokane team recently, com- ing up with a 66 tie and a 10-7 loss, In the opening game Spo- kane took-the lead early in the first period with two goals. Castlegar’s David Green and David Vecchio found their mark assisted by Derek Kazakoff, Chris Post- nikoff, Stephen Junker and David Josephson to tie it up in the first Spokane took the lead in the second period with a three-goal outburst, but the Castlegar team answered with two goals scored by Roger Carlson and Kazakoff assisted by Danny Stelk, Green and Postnikoff.

Organized the best, the best ice, the best fellowship and the best windup banquet. A total of 30 rinks from local and West Kootenay centres were in the three-day competition. And this year there was no doubt about the best rink either. Randy Lauer and his Trail foursome of Ken Davies, Ed Dawson and Walter Smyth went undefeated 6-0, finish.

In the league's other game, Elk Valley Blazers downed Kimberley Dynamiters 6-4. deficit at the end of the second frame. Stifling defensive action kept the third period score- less until 11;19 when Spo- kane chipped one in for a 6-4 lead.

Re- lentless offense right down to the wire with 20 seconds re- maining, Junker dented the twine assisted by Jeff Barr and Green for the tie. In a penalty studded sec- ond game, Castlegar opened the scoring with a slot shot by Vecchio assisted by Junk- er and Postnikoff. Carlson came up with the Rep’s only goal in the second period as- sisted by Kevan Rileof and ing off with a 8-5 victory over local opponent Chuck Wyatt. In so doing, Lauer's foursome earned top honors. Runnerup was host club Bill Rae and assistance from Jim Burn- ham, John Piva and Bill Scheer. From Grand Forks, Jim Glanville emerged the win- ner in the B event with sup- port from Stan Hewgill, Al Bekker and Tom Hayes. Runner-up was the Castlegar rink of skip Ralph Clay, Mike Verzuh, Ab Culley and George Crossley. Trail rinks were successful in the C and D events won by Tony Merlo and Frenchy D'Amour respectively.

Spokane con- tinued to outmuscle the Reps for the final 10-7 tally. Deer season cancelled The second half of the special white-tail deer season in Creston will not be held this year because of winter conditions and the new elec- trie fence which protects the orchards. The Nelson Fish and Wild- life Branch says it expects that deep snow and cold weather will result in the death of many more deer than normal this winter. Reduction of the season is expected to offset those deaths in the areas where the special season ex isted, the branch said in a prepared release. The orchards, whose pro- tection promoted the special season, are now protected by 13.8 kilometres of electric fence. This fence, paid for by the orchardists and Ministry of Highways, was built this summer and fall with labor provided by the orchardists and Canada Works pro grams. It is hoped that the fence will provide an efficient and effective method of keeping deer and elk away from fruit trees, the release said. The effectiveness of the fence and the over-winter survival of deer will be closely monitored by the Fish and Wildlife Branch, who will then decide on the extent of the season which may be necessary next year.

It was intended to go on for only three or four columns and raise some interest in a few less well known things and places, and to invite others to do so, too. and A ‘spectral skeleton’ rises from the sea All experience is an arch where thro’ gleams that untravelled workd which fades and fades forever as we the hour's train ride from London, quite apart from all the other things to be seen — the Mary Rose and the D-Day museum, for example. A short stone's throw in a long, low plastic covered building sits the dock’s latest and oldest ship, the Mary Rose. Named after Henry VIII's daughter, she had been the pride of the infant British navy — a revolutionary vessel for her day and the prototype for naval ships for the next 300 years.

I would like to apologize also to editor Ron Norman and CasNews staff who attempted during my absence to read Who, for example, but a good Scot such as Jack Scott would know that it was to the “Kyles” and not the “Isles” of Bute that I was referring, and who but myself alone would be so rash as to bet that that famous Edinburgh street is “Princess” Street and not “Prince's” Street — and with my wife yet? I would be very much amiss, however, did'I leave this “journal” without touching on our two final goals — to see the HMS Victory and the Mary Rose at Portsmouth and to visit friends, a “Geordie” couple at Morpeth. About a month ago I wrote of our visit to Weymouth, the seaside resort city in south England, and my high school teacher of 50 years ago, Miss Mary Buxton. This = a very personal experience, the recounting of which also became most urgent when I learned — while teaching at the Mission Abbey, that Miss Buxton had undergone major surgery and was not expected to live. And now to Portsmouth, to Morpeth and the last of the series. Portsmouth, on the south coast of England is (as —— everyone kpows) Britain's chief naval base, and the site of two of her most famous warships, the HMS Vietory and the Rose. The 104-gun, Ship of the Line, Victory, is the fifth British naval vessel of that name and she was commissioned in 1778. After a distinguished career, she became the flagship for Admiral Lord Nelson, and led the British navy to success at the battle of Trafalgar in 1805, banishing Napoleon's ships from the sea forever. Nelson died in the battle and today the Victory sits in drydock, a national shrine, and a living museum which, with her beautiful lines, low-ceilinged, red-painted gundecks (yes, you guessed right), and incredibly cramped crew's quarters gives instant meaning to the expression wooden ships and iron men. She is well worth the port from attack. Like the Victory, she had been built mainly of oak and was commissioned in 1511. In 1545, in an engagement with the French navy, she heeled over, took the seas through her open gunports and sank in the harbor with a loss of 700 men and 91 breech-loading and muzzle loading cannons, the most modern of their time. After several futile efforts to raise her, she lay forgotten in the mud and silt of the Solent for 400 years. She was rediscovered in the 1960s, surveyed and salvaged in the 1970s, raised in a gigantic cradle in 1962 and established on the dock in her protective shed, where she will undergo treatment and restoration for the next quarter century. She went on public view in July 1964. The raising of the ship has been a major heritage project, much to the credit of the Mary Rose Trust and Prince Charles, who is both president and sponsor of the Trust and has taken an active part in the underwater explorations. The ship, he says, is not only a fundamental part of national maritime heritage but “provides a wonderful cross-section of Tudor naval life.” And indeed she does. After the long walk through the dock yards and the extensive naval museums, we joined the long queue beside the covered shed where the Mary Rose is under constant treatment. After an hour's slow approach to the entrance, a pound entrance fee for Bunny and 50 pence for me, we passed with about 18 other people into an air-lock and then into the high humidity, low temperature chamber, high above the ship. My journal reads: “The ship lies in a huge iron cradle, the same one in which she was raised from the sea bottom. She lies on one side with a part of her hull, her curved ribs and her starboard planking visible through the sprays of the preservative and water removal agent, ethylene glycol. “It is clammy cold and damp in here and the hulk — much larger than I had expected — rises out of the mist like a spectral skeleton out of the past — an eerie feeling, though appropriate. We walk over the viewing bridge above the ship and try telisten to the woman guide over the chatter of several undisciplined, pestiferous urchins. “Among the many thousands of tools, utensils, weapons, musical instruments and personal items were 250 yew wood long bows, six gross of bowstrings, 4,000 arrows, 150 morris pikes (spears) and 150 bills (long-handled medieval bladed weapons with a hook and.a spike at the end). The ship will require years of stabalization and restoration, but we could scarcely skim the adjacent museum of materials removed from her in the time we had left. If you want a proper view, allow a day.” Next morning we took the train (by Britrail pass) to London and were met by our Aussie frie! at Waterloo station. Having checked our luggage at the “left-luggage” we walked to the Festival Centre for lunch.
