That wasn’t the slogan of the Ist Annual Castlegar Minor All- Star Tournament held last week- end at Kinnaird Park but it could have been. Seven teams from all over the West Kootenay as well as Penticton and Colville took part in the event and the enthusi- asm they brought filled the event organizers’ agenda. “We just wanted to give the boys some fun,” said tournament director Moe Barry. “Mike Davidoff suggested it last year because it gives the better boys a chance to play and gives them more games.” The tournament guaranteed each team six games with four in the round-robin portion and two in the playoffs. The round-robin games were played Friday and Saturday while the playoffs went Sunday. The Castlegar Minor All- Stars are usually coached by Barry but he turned over the reigns to Stu Austin in order to Stay focussed as the tournament director. Despite Barry's absence behind the bench, the team did well, playing stose Sports Dept.

That friendship thing was really neat to see.” Penticton went on to play in the final versus Trail. The game was a see-saw battle right off the bat and once again the game games gh the They finished that portion with a tie and three losses but they were all extremely close thanks to a never-give-up attitude. That attitude served them well in the first game of the playoffs when they went up against the powerhouse Penticton team Penticton had beaten’ them earli- er on in the round-robin but Castlegar managed to scratch their way into a 5-3 lead after four innings. But Penticton came back in the top of the fifth with two runs to tie and then another tun in the sixth and final inning to take the lead. But Castlegar refused to give up and advanced a runner to third base in the bottom of the sixth inning. The situation was tense and the pressure was on but Castlegar just couldn’t man- age to get the tying run across the plate. Despite the loss, Barry was pleased with the Castlegar per- formance. “The biggest thing was how they came back and rallied themselves instead of us yelling d tied in the sixth inning. Penticton came to bat at the bot- tom of the inning with the score tied 8-8. They advanced a runner to third and drove him home on a two-out single to win the game and take home the trophies donated by Kalesnikoff Lumber. Trail received the second place trophy donated by Ander- son Insurance. Three other awards were also given for Most Sportsmanlike Team (Kootenay Adjusting), the Team having the Most Fun (Kats Trophies) and the Hardest Working Team (Ja- Nic Construction). All coaches and umpires voted on the awards with Beaver Valley being named the most sports- manlike, Salmo had the most fun and Castlegar was given the title of hardest working. The consolation final was another close affair with Grand Forks beating Beaver Valley. The Castlegar Minor Little League All-Star team now has only two weeks left in their sea- son. Their next action is this weekend in Beaver Valley where they will take part in another SUN SPORTS PHOTO / Jeff Gabert three-day tournament. As for the Major Little League squad, they finished up the District 8 Championships on Monday in Grand Forks with a loss to Trail. Tt was the second ‘straight loss for the team after suffering a 3-1 loss to Grand Forks the day before. The Grand Forks loss left Castlegar manager Bryan Bucci in a bind for Monday’s game since he had already used his two best pitchers. They were ineligible against Trail and he was forced to use his three and four hurlers who performed admirably in the loss. “We put together a good good team,” said Bucci. “But I think our program has to be looked at for the future. We need to take a much more competitive approach.” But overall, the prime objec- tive of Little League baseball was served. “The kids had a great time and they learned a lot,” said Bucci. “Now we'll continue playing a little more exhibition ball in the next couple weeks then we're done.” The District 8 Championships wind up tonight in Grand Forks with Trail going up against Beaver Valley in the final of the double-knockout tournament. Beaver Valley has yet to lose a game in the tournament, there- fore Trail must win two-straight to gain the title.

Of course it really came as no surprise, they always do. “I expected it,” said Aquanaut head coach Neil Jones, “but sure I still wanted it to happen and I was glad when we did. “We should always win our home meet and we've won it every year except a couple since Catchin’ JEFF GABER’ Sun Spo In the West Kootenay Men's Fastball League, the season may of Justin S Rachel Friedrich, Shelby Miller and Alisha and Alana Pion as examples of great races in the event.

Both teams shared took turns as top dog in the standings during the season but it was a surprise team from Trail that crept up to win the title. The Terra Nova Tigers watched quietly as the Cobras and Royals slugged it out and then used pitching and defence to make a run in the final two weeks. Many were surprised at the sudden rise but not those who had played against the Tigers. “They: were probably the best team in the league,” said league representative and West Koote- nay Marlins manager Darryl Dickson. “Their defence is really good and when they get a full team out they're hard to beat.” That team includes pitcher Rollie Caron who was a workhorse for Terra Nova all sea- son.

The Castlegar Sun It took him eight years, but Jim Young has finally won his own golf tournament. The former Grey Cup winner with the B.C. Lions led his team to a 14-under par round of 58 last Thursday at the Castlegar Golf Club to capture the eigth annual event which is run under Young's name in an effort to raise money for the local Red Cross. The former Castlegar business man said that it was quite gratifying to finish on top of all of his good friends for the first time. “None of these guys think I can golf,” said Young just moments after his team finished off the tourney with a birdie on the 18th hole. “It’s finally nice to prove to everyone in the Kootenays that I do deserve to play in my own tournament,” Young joked. “They've been putting more and more pressure on me each and every year that I have to become competitive in the event. I think after today I'll be allowed back for at least a few more years.” Castlegar’s Todd Archambault played a huge role im Young's victory. The 19-year-old was com- ing off a second place finish at last weekends B.C. Mens Amateur, and used his familiarity with the Castlegar course to his teams advantage. Niles Seldon, Quinto Maida and Bob Foubister made up the other three golfers which took home the title. Creston native and former NHLer Frank Spring led his team to a second place finish in the 28-team field. Spring, along with Gary Don- aldson, Mark Strate, Brian Pinter and Mike Perra finished one stroke back with a total of 13-under par 59. There was a five-way tie for third spot, which included celebrities Steve Tambellini, Johnny Bucyk and Travis Green who all finished at 12-under par 60. Green, who has now turned into a regular fix- ture at the event, said he's very happy to be back home in the Kootenay’s for summer. “It was a tough season with the lockout and having to play a wait-and-see game for half the year,” said Green. “I am very excited about next year knowing that hockey will start on time in the fall and I can get myself focussed for that.” Trail native Steve Tambellini says he too always looks forward to this time of the year and enjoys seeing many of his old friends at events such as the Jim Young tourney. “Nothing beats the Kootenays,” said Tambellini who's in charge ff public relations for the Vancou- ver Canucks. ““Phis Castlegar course is very nice and I am honored to be invited back each and every year.” Although Young and his crew took home the hardware, the real winners were the Red Cross. Gary Ockenden, Kootenay Director for the Red Cross, says that this event is always one of the biggest fundraisers of the year. For the fourth straight year Young topped the previous total by raising more than $21,000. The eight year total now sits at over $125,000. “Jim and the committee always put on a first Tate tourney and this year was no different,” said Ockenden. “You know things are going well when more than half of the time people and sponsors come to you instead of you having to approach them.” One collosal heart cycle “Submitted The Heart and Stroke Foundation is about to release a marvel of mechanical engineering into Castlegar.
