SIDELINES By CasNews Stat! Three for road in horseshoes Three Castlegar throwers will take their place on the Zone 1 horseshoe pitching team for the B.C. Summer Games after qualifiers held here May 26. * Michelle Feeney did the job in the ladies A category while Blythe Elliot qualified in the C category. The two join B event winner Joyce Pocha of Cranbrook and D winner Betty Langilie of Genclle for the trip to the Games in Prince George July 12-15. In the men’s draw, Castlegar’s Jim Feeney put his best shoe forward to qualify in the B event while two Cranbrook representatives, Tom Claricoates and Russ Pocha, won the C and D categories i . Stan Langille qualified in the B event and Brian Ryder of Fruitvale will act as alternate in the D category to round out the team. In other qualifying events, the centre fire rifle team was chosen in trials held at Barrett Creek Rifle Range in Weimer last weekend. Larry Carr, Leland Carr and Fred Watson of Crescent Valley join Ken Herbert of Nelson and Collin Kenning of Rossianc to make up the five-man Zone | team at the Carew makes Zone 1 golf team Just imagine what Jody Carew could do if he was satisfied with his golf game. As it was the local high school student wasn’t overjoyed with his performance last weekend but it was good enoygh to carn him a spot on the B.C. Summer Games team which will compete in Prince George July 12-15. Carew, 15, shot a 36-hole 169 in the two-day event held at the Castlegar and District Golf Club and the Christina Lake course on May 26 and 27. He became by far the youngest member of the four man team whose other members — Kim Hay of Trail, Ron Colin of Grand Forks and Dean Studer of Nelson — are all over 20-years-old. After firing a disappointing | 88 at the Par 72 course in Castlegar Saturday Carew thought he was out of running. But after that round he went to the driving range and hit a couple of buckets of balls and that seemed to do the trick for his round on Sun- day at Christina Lake where he shot an 81. Kimberley to host Games The chairman of the Council for the Disabled; Flip Filippelli, has announced that Kimberley has been chosen as the site for the 1990 B.C.

With a 7-3 win Thursday over Kinnaird Park and a tic has climbed within a point of third place in. the standings of the four- team league. In the other game Monday, Pete Evdokimoff pitched a four hitter as Labatts shut out second place Banjo’s Pub 4-0 at Kinnaird Park. Salmo’s John Obetkoff got his first win of the season Thursday as he scat- fered seven Labatts hits while striking out one and walking one. Obetkoff helped his own cause at the plate, almost hitting for the cycle with a single in the first, a walk in the second, a triple in the fourth and a double in the sixth, accounting for two RBIs. He also got help from second baseman Kelly Keraiff\who had a single and a double and ohe RBI in four trips while first baseman Greg Cain added two singles. Rod Gretchin took the loss on the mound for Labatts, surrendering 10 “loss for Banjo’s as the team rested league hits, walking three and fanning four. The league hitting leader went one- for-three at the plate which lowered his batting average to .550 for the season | Bob Essaunce led Labatts in a losing cause with a pair of singles and arun scored. In Salmo on Monday, in what was Tied at six, the game was called af- ter the seventh inning because of darkness. In a situation where two losses walking just one to get the win for Labatts while Gretchin and Don Savinkoff both went two-for-three to pace a nine-hit attack. Terry Taranoff got the start and the wins leader Eli Soukeroff, 4-1, after he pitched four straight games and was named MVP in a weekend tourney here. All four teams are in action Lewis not MISSISSAUGA, Ont. (CP) — ultimate goal for Lennox Lewis is, of course, to win the heavyweight boxing championship of the world. But Lewis, who grew up in Kit- chener, Ont., and won a gold medal for Canada in the 1988 Olympic Games, won't fight champion James (Buster) Douglas until he’s good and ready. “Although I'm the amateur cham- pion of the world, I’ve got to do my— homework,’ the 24-year-old Lewis said Thursday. ‘There are alot of things I need to know about myself first, like going the distance and lear- ning how to fight boxers with dif- ferent styles." The next lesson for Lewis comes July 11 at the SuperStars nightclub in Mississauga, just west of Toronto, when he fights American Mike Acey. tomorrow as Banjo’s travels to Salmo while Labatts plays Trainor at Kin- naird. Both games start at 6:15 p.m. Check the Castlegar News next Sunday for team-by-team hitting and pitching statistics. rushing For Lewis — now based in London, England, where he was born — it will mark only his second pro bout in Canada. He knocked out Greg Gorrell on Dec. 18 in Kitchener. The six-foot-five, 234-pound Lewis is 11-0 as a pro, with six knockouts. In a sport where bombastic drawls are the norm, Lewis’s calm, articulate British accent catches listeners by sur- prise. “You could say I’m on a mission,” Lewis says. ‘“The Canadian, British and Commonwealth titles, I want to get those out of the way first.’” Lewis’s return to Canada fulfills more than one purpose. “Fighters all over the world are talking about me. It’s good for them to see who they’re talking about,"’ says Lewis. SkyDome continued from pege 81 circuit TV monitors in the dugouts to spy on the bullpen, not'to mention the roof. . The Blue Jays, the stadium's prin- cipal tenants, are still finding out about their new home. Most in- triguing is how the ball carries and the role the roof plays. In $4 games last year, the majority of which were played with the roof open, the Jays hit 45 home runs and their opoonenets 39. Yet in just 27 games this year, with the roof closed for all but two, the home-run tally is almost the same: Jays 44, Opponents 35. for the vary, with some saying when the dome is open the westerly wind hits a roof panel and circles back toward the plate, while one creative engineer suggested that with the concrete now dry, the air iS less humid and allows the ball to travel more freely. _, Regardless, the Jays and their new ‘Continue to attract spectators in droves.

Combining the. Exhibition Stadium totals for the first two months of the season, the Jays established an American League home attendance record of 3,375,883.

Poetry to be savored slowly and read aloud Life is a tragedy to those Who feel A comiedy to those who think — Leonard Howe, Drolleries and Impertinences: Dawdling Time “*In this volume of Drolleries and Impertinences I have tried to provide a pleasure in reading and par- ticipation that is durable, and acceptable af under- standable poetry.”’ And with those words of introduction, Leonard Howe, 80 years young in spirit, soldier, world traveller, bon vivant, chef, and a particularly happily married man, launches the fourth in his series of six projected works called Drolleries and Pp Reflections and recollections By John Charters This one, Volume Five, is the fourth (they are not in- sequence), and he has two more coming, as well as eight others in the machinery. It consists entirely of poems in rhymed and blank verse. This one is called Dawdling Time and has 112 short pieces under eight headings — Laughing at Life, Lamentations on a Theme, Media Bungles and others. They all reflect some of the way-stops of a long + life. Some are personal, some ironic and some are writ- ten with an amused chuckle, particularly against him- self and more particularly against the current secular hedonism. In an age which is probably the most hell-bent- » fr and istical in the history of Rotel he is suggesting that we could pause at the side of the road (or escalator), dawdle a little along the side path of life for a while, smell the flowers at our feet and look at the vagaries of others and ourselves with gentle laughter and a modicum of compassion. There are three basic needs for us humans, he says — food, security and love — and we cannot think of one without the other. They are all one and it is the responsibility of the poet to never let us forget it. This is reflected in a piece he calls Sublimited Perception: What good love/Has not said of itself,/In pleasant drowsy sleep:/‘‘Here is my life, before/By those who began me./Wi heaven/And. around this mindful,/Peaceful challenger, is life.’’ Under the section Antic Ribaldries is a poem en- titled Don’t Forget to Shake. The tone changes abrup- tly in the lines which begin: “In the men’s retiring room I stood before the wall/Before that object somewhat clean,/Designed for only men/Short or fat, lean or tall./ It ends with: And then I read with great delight/The scribble of the very wise./There it was, a welcome sight —/*Don’t forget/To shake your Dandy Zalm! In somewhat the same ribald vein he has, in Growing Old, a wife commenting gently on her husband’s growing absent-mindedness: Did he put on his hat?/Tell the truth!/Or did he fe put his hat in the toilet/And the pot upside down/On his head?/I think he would have known./ The bureaucrats and politicians pick up a few lumps in Why Change?, advice by a senior bureaucrat ~ to a new minister, and That’s Him, a reminder to makers of political promises. But Rights and Privilages has a more sinister undertone: To grow old/Is not an inalienable right./It is a il To be at any time/By the state./For the general good/Of course./+ Some pieces are in familiar meters such as The Pest: When I die/Don’t bury me at all./Just turn my head/Towards the wall./Find a TV set/So I can brood,/Nailed to the wall/Or even screwed./ I can recall some more raunchy lines to that par- ticular beat, however. . . . Our happy writer is also owned by a cat as in- dicated by a poem by the same name and which ends with voice of experience, which says: A cat's steadfast look/Into a human face/Is a question./Does one trust/Or pause for flight?/And a walk around the head/Is to waken sodden sleeper/So cat and supine bundle,/May commune in the silent dark. This book is for slow, sybaritic savoring, to be read aloud to youngsters who enjoy sounds and silliness for their own sake, and for oldsters who can appreciate old rhythms wrapped in new packages. And while I may differ with the punctuation occasionally, 1 envy a man who can create such small gems of \ language as: The seed/Does not explain the flower, or Trees have put themselves to bed/With leaves on; leaves/Tucked about their trunks. Last but not least, | am always happy to meet man or woman who loves the beauties of our languag (our ranks are thinning every day) and can find joy in Id. i (and icism as witness the poem Beloved-Growing Old: We are swept/On a tidal shore,/Of each per- ceiving each./We live and love/And live and die,/Seeing and knowing/Graces, tolerences,/Lasting love at any cost.

The four-day open season, for any antlered bull moose, will last from Oct. 30 to Nov. 2 and will be available to both resident and non-resident hunters, Reynolds said in a news release. Calves can be hunted as well. Longstanding bull moose limited entry seasons in the West Kootenay in Management Units 4-06 and 4-32 remain unchanged The limited entry season for cows will stay as originally proposed and the September spike bull/calf open season is replaced by the above- mentioned changes. “In making this decision, I have considered the option of ministry wildlife managers, both in the region and in Victoria, who have advised that there is a need to limit the harvest of mature bulls during the coming hunting season,’’ Reynolds said. ‘We have also i the of wtavailable data suggest an overhar- vest of older bull moose has brought about an imbalanced age and sex ratio and hunting restrictions are needed to restore more productive ratios to the moose population, he said. “*The ministry will undertake an in- tensive moose inventory in the Kootenays this winter,’" Reynolds said. ‘‘Future years’ hunting some Kootenay hunters who have questioned the adequacy of existing moose inventory data and the process for establishing a limited entry Dancers entertain The Senior Citizens held their May social meeting recently in the Seniors’ Centre.
