Greyhounds win cup

By CasNews Staff

The Castlegar Greyhounds made it
@ dog day afternoon for the other five
teams Sunday in the Slocan Challenge
Cup soccer tournament as the team of
seven- and ecight-year-olds went un-
defeated through three games to win
the tourney championship.

Nathan Heddle scored on the
Greyhounds’ first shot in a sudden-
death overtime shootout which came
after the teams had played to a 2-2 tie
through regulation and then’a five-
shot shootout.

Greyhounds goalkeeper Derek
Braga perserved the victory by stop-

ping Trail’s chance to tie it in sudden
death.

Defence was the Greyhounds’
trademark all through the tourney as
the team posted a pair of 3-0 shutouts
over Crescent’ Valley and Slocan-
Winlaw to advance to the final.

The Castlegar Blue Devils had a
win and two losses and won the most
sportsmanlike team award in the
division. The Blue Devils lost their
opener 4-3 to Slocan-Winlaw before
coming back to down the other
Castlegar squad, the Dolphins, 2-1.
The Blue Devils were eliminated after
losing 6-2 to Crescent Valley.

The Dolphins meanwhile.colllin’t
get their offence rolling in 4-1 and 2-0
losses to Trail and Slocan-Winlaw
respectively.

In the nine- and 10-year-old
division, the Castlegar Cougars rep
team tied for second in the six-team
event with a record of 2-1. The
Cougars blanked Slocan-Winlaw 2-0
in the opener, then were beaten 4-1 by
Trail before rebounding to nip
Nakusp 3-2.

The other Castlegar rep team in the
tourney, the Sting, beat Slocan-
Winlaw 2-0 but lost 2-1 to Nakusp
and 4-0 to the eventual winners in the
older division from Nelson.

Banjo's pitching could
make league title academic

By CasNews Staff

Banjo’s Pub won a pair of games
this week to solidify its place atop the
Castlegar Men's Fastball League
standings with a record of 9-5.

But what may be more significant,
especially as far as other teams in the
league are concerned, is that Banjo’s
pitcher Greg Bergeron got his first
win for the club — a three-hit shutout

over Labatts at Kinnaird Park last
night.

That could be significant because
Banjo’s already has the league’s wins
leader in Eli Soukeroff, 8-3, and
Bergeron has got his game together on
the mound, Banjo’s could quickly
make the race for first academic.

Bergeron struck out five and
allowed only a. double and two singles

in the 6-0 win over Labatts.

Banjo’s pounded losing pitcher Joe

seventh.

Labatts remains in second place
despite the loss, with 14 points, three

Soukeroff got his eighth win of the

struck out seven and surrendered just
two hits in a 3-1 win over Trainor at
Kinnaird Park.

Tony Kabatoff took the loss for
Trainor but didn’t get any help in the
field as Banjo’s capitalized on two
Trainor errors in the fourth to score
all three of team’s runs in the game.

Kabatoff struck out eight and
allowed six hits over seven innings.

greatest sports scandal should be
granted appeals before an in-
dependent arbitrator.

The Jamaican-born Johnson
said he would not comment on the
report until after he had read it
and conferred with his lawyer.

The coach who introduced
Johnson to’ muscle-building
steroids and the doctor who main-
tained drug programs for Johnson
and teammates also came in for
criticism.

Johnson ever had, should con-
tinue to be banned from coaching
in Canada, says Dubin.

“His determination that the
athletes trained by him would
become the best in the world led
him to ignore the ethical and
moral values of sport and his duty

Here are key dates in the Ben
Johnson scandal and the sub-
sequent federal inquiry under
Justice Charles Dubin:

Sept. 24, 1988 — Johnson wins
the 100-metre dash the Seoul
Olympics in a record 9.79 secon-
ds.

Sept. 27 — The International
Olympic Committee . annouces
Johnson tested positive for the
performance-enhancing steroid
stanozolol and has been stripped
of his gold medal. The record is
erased and he is slapped with a
two-year ban on competition.
Canadian Sports Minister Jean
Charest bans Johnson for life
from competing for Canada.

Oct. 4 — Johnson tells a Toron-

Charlie Francis, the only coach

as a coach. In the end, he failed
them and ‘himself, as well as the
sport to which he had devoted so
much of his life.’’

But Francis, the man who broke
what the judge repeatedly referred
to as a ‘‘conspiracy of silence,’’
was not motivated by greed and

virtual recluse since
the scandal broke, declined com-
ment until he has read the report.
Hig has been writing a book.
> Dr. Jamie Astaphan, the out-
spoken stetoid doctor who is also
writing a book, didn’t want to
wait before talking.
He called the inquiry ‘‘a sham’’
and denied he gave Johnson the
type of steroid — -

aa

“That is complete, bloody non-
sense that is designed-topaihit me
as the bad guy and Ben Johnson
as the sweet, innocent lamb,"
Astdphan said in an interview
from his home on the Caribbean
istand of St. Kitts,

“The whole thing was or-
chestrated to allow Ben to run
again and make millions of dollars
while Charlie and I take the fall.”’

Dubin’s report charged
Astaphan lied to the inquiry and
gave his unwitting athletes muscle-
b jing drugs intended for
animals while they believed they
were taking another form of
steroids.

Dubin says Canada should
examine whether it wants its
weightlifters to compete inter-

i in a sport by

Fodor keeps his perfect
record in Regatta

By CasNews Staff

They might as well name the
Syringa Creek Regatta trophy after
Gary Fodor.

After al
ever won it.

Backed by high winds which made
for fast sailing, Fodor sailed to his
third straight win in the Regatta,
which began Saturday and ended

he’s the only one who’s

Sunday on courses set up on Lower
Arrow Lake.

Fodor, of Pass Creek, edged out a
pair of Castlegar boats skipped
respectively by Ed Blain and Adrian
Jelly.

John Mallins of Grand Forks was

fourth while Castlegar’s Randy Frost,
who was touted as the major threat te

intact

prevent Fodor from winning his third
title because both have the same
boats, placed fifth.

“No I wasn’t really surprised,”
said race captain Joan Blain. “I
mean, he’s won it the last two years so
you know he’s going to be in there
again.”

Barker new parish priest

It was a milestone in the lifeof Rev«.
Dorothy Barker as she was inducted
4s parish priest in the Anglican parish
of St. David's, Castlegar June 19, by
Right Rev. David ‘Crawley, Anglican
Bishop of Kootenay.

It was a joyous, colorful occasion
for Anglicans who attended the im-
Pressive ceremony from widely scat-
tered areas both inside and outside the
Diocese, a church news release said.
Many Yriends of the new incumbent
came fri asfar away as Vancouver
Island.

« The ®Uést-preacher was Rev. Bar-
bara Clay, a colleague of Barker, and
rector of St. Lawrence’s Anglican
Church in Coquitlam. Clay spoke to
the gathering of upwards of 132
Parishoners and visitors from
Castlegar and surrounding parishes,
and visiting clergy from the Kootenay
Diocese, on the theme of Walls and
Bridges, illustrating that people can
create their own walls and bridges in
life, by choice as they progress in their
lives.

After receiving symbolic objects of
her office as parish priest, Barker
received the Constitutions and
Canons of the Diocese from the Very
Rev. Jack. Greenhalgh, dean of
Kootenay and rector of St. Michael
and All Angel’s Cathedral of
Kelowna.

Andrew's Anglican. Church in Trail
and St. Saviour’s Pro Cathedral in
Nelson.

Besides clergy from the Kootenay-

Rev. Clay and

Boundary region of the Diocese,
visiting clergy attended from Pentic-
ton, Kelowna, Enderby, Salmon
Arm, and from points in the East
Kootenay. Castlegar was represented

by pastors and ministers from other
denominations, making the service of
induction a truly ecumenical
celebration.

Following the service of induction,
Barker co-celebrated the Holy
Eucharist with Bishop Crawley,
assisted by Rev. Dr. David Rolfe of
Fruitvale-Salmo, Rev. Canon Arthur
Turnbull, regional dean of the
Kootenay-Boundary region and rec-
tor of St. Andrew’s and St. George's
Simon Shenstone, rector of Holy
Trinity Anglican Church in Grand
Forks.

The service provided considerable
involvement with the lay members of.
St. David's and Was not confined to
the clergy which is indicative of the
new direction while the Anglican
Church is taking in the celebration of
the liturgy, the church said in the
release.

St. David’s Anglican Church had
been without an incumbant since Rev,
Charles Balfour assumed charge of
the Anglican parish at Squamish in
July 1989. However, St. David's fun-
ctioned during the hiatus with its
strong lay fellowship which will con-
tinue to support Baker in her work as
rector.

Following the service, the Anglican
Church Women’s Association of St.
David's served refreshments in the
undercroft of the church.
