AP WELDING CELE A LAS RPT duly 10, 1991 Castlegar News Bi Castlegar News SPORTS For the best there's no place like options, me. Savings » Whoever invented slo-pitch deserves a medal. I mean what other sport do you know (besides curl- ing), that can attract couch critters, the bold and the beautiful, weekend exercisers and bona fide athletes, then successfully meld the diverse group into a single conglom- eration of Bavarian gardens bums? What a great game! There’s no question there’s a lot people in town who agree with that sentiment. For proof you need only have looked to any ball park in the city last weekend as 26 competitive and recreational teams played in the Castlegar Slo-Pitch League’s wind-up. While there’s no question we love the game in this town, there is some question as to our commitment to it. And next year, we're all going to find out how fond we really are of slo-pitch. Because unfortunately, slo-pitch has developed the same disease most other sports in this town have suf- fered from at one time or another—-lackofvolunteerato- sis. This is a particularly insid- ious strain of apathy with symptoms including state- ments such as “I don’t have enough time” and “I can’t be bothered.” It’s also a disease that feeds on itself in that those who are already giving of their time, when faced with a shortage of others to assist them, are forced to give that much more, resulting in burnout, lack of desire, and ultimately, one less volun- teer. Castlegar slo-pitch presi- dent John Phillips said the league may have the disease, but by no means will it be fatal. “It’s a well known fact that we need more volunteers yes,” said Phillips this week. “But the slo-pitch league is not in trouble.” Still, Phillips _has been out -| of town forl0 days and the rumors: floating around Kin- naird Park about the league’s dire need for help in the orga- nization and administration departments are apparently recent revelations brought forward by members of the executive whose prognosis for the league isn’t as rosy as Phillips’. Phillips said he doesn’t deal in rumors and will be getting the straight dope when he meets with the exec- utive sometime this summer. If the whole situation gives you deja vu, well, no kidding. You name a sport organi- zation in this town—-minor hockey, minor baseball, the Castlegar Rebels—-and it’s the same thing, all of them at | ehe time or another have bat- tled and overcome lackofvol- unteeratosis. The Castlegar slo-pitch association was the last one I thought would find itself in this situation because of the huge player population base it has to draw from. “We have 600-plus people in the league and they’re hop- ing for five to seven people to run the whole show. It just doesn’t work,” said executive member Tom Campbell. The players will have to decide for ourselves if we want someone to administer the league or if we want to see it reduced to nothing more than pick up ball. That would be a giant step backward for a league that has done so well in making the game enjoyable for so many of us. Their is however, only one cure to lackofvolunteerato- sis—it’s a yes answer to the question, do you have the time? Junior golfer great in amateur By CasNews Staff Fifteen-year-old Todd Archambault of Castlegar placed 41st overall out of 140 of the provinee’s best junior » Archambault followed. an opening round 74 With a pair of 80s then an 83 on the final day. His total qualified him for the Canadian junior amateur in Pottle playing too, page B2_ (under-18) golfers in the B.C. junior amateur championship which concluded at the Cran- Golf Course last weekend. Archambault finished 17th overall in the under-16 category and was the only West Kootenay golfer to make the final cut in the four-round tournament. Another Castlegar golfer, Jody Carew, shot 81, 79, and 76 afid missed the final round cut- off by one stroke. Ontario next month. “I haven't shot a better round in this big of a tournament, but I have shot better rounds yeah,” said Archambault,who was play- ing in his first junior champi- onship. After his opening round Archambault said the course played tougher every round. “They (course officials) made it a little tougher, a little longer and the pins in tougher place- ments,” he said. Carew,16, who was playing in his second amateur said the first round 81 killed him. “I got off to a bad start and was fighting back all the way after that,” said Carew, who played in all four rounds last year but finished lower with a 51st this year. Carew, said all he needed was a par on the 18th in his third round to qualify for the final-round , but a wedge shot~ that appeared headed into the hole lipped the cup and rolled off the green. His hasn’t decided if he'll go to the national championships. “I haven't talked it over with my parents yet. I'd like to (go) Archambault’s two over par 74 tied him after the first round with eventual tournament win- ner Andrew Smeeth of Chilli- wack. Smeeth came from six shots of the pace in the final round with a four under 68 to win his second straight junior champi- onship. h. was the only golfer to bogey put him one shot over the limit. “Yeah, it was pretty disap- pointing all right, but I still have two more years left.” Archambault said he pect under par in the final round. To qualify for the junior golfers had to have a handicap of eight or less. we TODD ARCHAMBAULT «hot hot 74 kiwanis fie!

CasNews photo by Ed Mills ugh Friday at the Fastball girls 4th in province By CasNews Staff The Castlegar bantam girls went 4-3 to finish fourth overall at the 1&team provincial C fastball championships in Lang- ley last weekend. The bantams cruised through the first three games of the round robin portion of the cham- ips beating Kamlk 13- the bottom of the fifth inning against Vernon on the way to losing 11-3. Christina Evdokimoff went most of the way on the mound for Castlegar ending up with a 2-3 record. Jaclyn Kalesnikoff pitched in the playoff win over North Delta and the round robin 1 and Quenelle 25-6 on Friday then Vancouver 22-1 on Satur- day. Castlegar’s only loss in the round robin came later Saturday when a team from North Delta scored one run in the bottom of the seventh inning to win 7-6. In the double-knockout cham- pionship round Castlegar allowed nine, first inning runs and that was the difference in an 18-9 loss to the hosts from Langley. In their second game Sunday the bantams got some revenge against North Delta with a 13-6 win. But it all ended for Castlegar when they allowed 11 runs in of V: Of all the games, ‘the loss to Vernon was perhaps the strangest said bantam coach John Kalesnikoff. “We were leading 3-1 in the fifth inning and there was a (Vernon): fly (ball) that was dropped that would have been the third out.Then they got 10 runs after that. We kind of self- destructed,” said Kalesnikoff. It was similar self destruction in the loss to Langley'when a series of Castlegar fielding errors in the first inning spotted Langley a 9 run lead. “There was quite a few errors that just opened the door for them and the roof fell in, “ said Kalesnikoff. Slo-pitch champs By CasNews Staff r; After three days of slugging it out on the diamonds, the two Castlegar slo-pitch champions emerged from a field of 28-teams and were crowned at Kinnaird Park Sunday night. On the competitive side Woodland Park Shell got three consecutive home runs iri the last inning to beat the Amigos 19-15 while a leadoff homer in the final inning helped Avenues take the recreational champi- onship over Purnel Distributors 16-10. Avenues went undefeated through five games in Castlegar slo-pitch league’s annual wind up tour while Shell had a 4-1 record, losing only to the team it eventually beat the in the final. In the competitive final Shell's Al Conroy hit a three run homer in the top of the six inning and was followed by sin- gle shots by Greg LePage and Bruno Tassone to break the Amigos’ back. In the 18-team recreational playoff Avenues had a honey of a weekend capped off in the final with Dave Markin’s fifth inning homer that ignited a six-run ral- ly and ended what was a close game to that point. “It was just one of things,” said Avenues’ Dave Francis. “When you're on, you're on.” Aquanauts rule the pool so far By CasNews Staff The Castlegar Aquanauts rule the pool in the West Kooteney— so far. With a 102-point margin of victory in the nine-team Trail meet_last weekend, the Aqua- nauts have a pair of firsts and a second in three West Kootenay meets so far this season. “Yeah, we’ve had a pretty good start, the kids ming pretty well, so far,’ i Aquanauts coach Tom Carew, who won't go as far as to put a Kootenay crown on the club’s head yet. Aquanauts’ swimmers picked up 10 medals, including two golds, and broke three pool records on the way to compiling 900.5 points in the two-day meet. The Nelson Neptunes, the only team to beat the Aquanauts this season, were second with 798 points while the host Trail- Warfield Stingrays had 761. Of all the Aquanauts perhaps Mario Fehrenberg put in the best performance of the day with a pool record in the 100- metre back stroke, a bronze medal in division 7 boys, then was a personal best in the back- stroke which is his specialty event and the one he won a Complete stats, The Numbers page B2 Robson River Otters’, page B2 another record as part of the 200-metre mediey relay team along with Alex Hartman, Jason Scheupfer and Neil Jones. Fehrenberg’s time of 1:08:64 bronze in in provincials last year. “That's really good for this point in the season,” said Carew. “When we taper down and shave for provincials, he should be in the hunt for another medal.” The team’s other pool record came in the division 5 boys 200- metre freestyle relay as Tedd Hunter, Grant Mosby, Rob Ca: and Brian Roberts won in a time of two minutes, three sec- onds and 31 tenths of asecond. The girls led the medal parade with Aimie Chernoff winning gold in division 6 girls «while Jen Small and Wendy Gouk tied for the gold in divi- sion 7 girls and Jody Young took the bronze in that event. The Aquanauts’ only other gold medal was won by Trevor Haviland in division 3 boys while Chris Cook was right behind with the silver. Chris, Chernoff and Hunter won bronze in division 4 and 5 boys respectively while Michelle Streich won bronze in division 1 girls and Adam Kristian was third overall in division 1 boys. The Colville Valley Club was fourth in the meet while Grand Forks came fifth, Kimberley Seahorses sixth, then the Rob- son River Otters, Beaver Valley Dolphins and Greenwood. Carew said he’s looking for the same type of effort from his younger swimmers at a meet in Colville this weekend. But he is expecting something more from his older group of swimmers. “I don’t think they're focused enough at these meets leading up to provincials,” said Carew. “ Se ee Soper snnbpesetietincevem rarer ma a
