Banners outside the ministers’ hotel proclaimed: Bergen meeting, just talk and eating. The three-day UN-sponsored con- ference is due to end today with a ion on common goals for In a draft aimed at breaking the deadlock, Norway proposed dropping references to ‘‘new and additional " Tesources”” for the developing world with a promise merely to ensure ‘‘new ways and means of providing . resources.’* But many European states were unhappy with the watered-down ver- sion. The United States fears that a new commitment to help poor countries with an environmental cleanup could lead to massive spending. Other ministers say new aid would be.a con- tribution to a fund of the equivalent of around $300 million Cdn to help Protect the ozone layer. __ Ata meeting late Tuesday, officials from the di i were unable to fighting .

She wasn't exactly sure what she was getting when she took the Stanley Humphries secondary school team to Trail’s Haley Park yesterday, and there was more than one surprise. Seanon Sharp for instance, a Grade 10 student who hadn’t said boo all year, suddenly came up to Zielkie at the meet and said: ‘‘I want to hit that ribbon, I want to finish first.”” “And he did it too (in the junior boys 400 metres), it’s so great really,’* she said laughing. ‘‘There’s one junior who just surprised the heck out of me.”’ Partly because of solid performan- SHSS's Laurel Closkey clears the obstacle in fine form in the open girls 400 metre hurdies lonships at Haley Park in Trail yesterday. ces from unexpected sources like Sharp, and partly due to those expec- ted to win doing so, SHSS finished CosNews photo by Ed Mills ght track Senior girls 400 metres.

Game 2 of the best-of-seven series is Friday night at Boston Garden. It was the longest final series game in NHL history — one minute 23 ‘seconds longer than a game on April 9, 1931, that ended when Montreal’s Cy Wentworth scored against Chicago. It was the ninth longest playoff game in history and the longest since the New York Islanders beat Washington after 68:47 of over- time in 1987. The game lasted five hours and 32 minutes, ending after 1:30 a.m. EDT, “Well, I missed Letterman,”* sighed Moog. Moog, a former Oiler trying to un- do the memory of a four-game sweep by Edmonton in the 1988 final, saw his teammates dominate regulation time with aggressive forechecking.

The players left the ice and went to their dressing rooms in a scene reminiscent of the last Stanley Cup final game here.

While ascending baseball’s class system to the AAA Pacific Coast League, one step below the majors, he has never played more than two consecutive seasons in one city. As happened to the cynical character played by Costner, baseball has lost some of its lustre for Dodd, 31. “It started out as a game, but later I realized what it took to be a major league player with all the politics,”” says Dodd, a native of Portland, Ore. <> “After 11 years I have other responsibilities.

ByED MILLS’ Staff Writer As far as a soccer pitch goes, the Kiwa field beside the Community Complex makes for a Pretty good gravel pit. At least that’s the way Hilberto (Herb) Amaral sees it And when he gives you a tour of the field, the evidence for his claim is right under foot. “Look at this,’’ he said as he walked on the field, pointing left and right and down, then kicking at the ground covered with peebles and dirt between splotches of grass. “*See, look, you can start to see it here, and this is the better part. When you start to get in the mid- die, it’s a gravel pit. And that’s not all. “‘When it rains, the left side of the field fills up with water, it’s ridiculous,"’ Amaral said. As a soccer player, coach and manager, Amaral has some self- interest in pushing Castlegar city council to fix up the field — which is what he’s been doing for the past two years — but he said there's more to it than that. Not only is the field em- barrassing when out-of-town Kiwanis field teams come here to play — Amaral brought two college teams from Spokane here last weekend — but, more, importantly, it’s dangerous, he said. “Little kids play here all the time and they get hurt too. Minor soccer plays| here three times a year, so for a field that gets used a lot it’s incredible,’’ he said. “With rocks all over the place and sewer Pipes sticking out you get knees like mine, all cut up.”” With registration in soccer in- creasing every year, Amaral believes people should really be worried about where their children are playing. He said he Started talking to city aldermen about the condition of the field two years ago and until now it’s been to no avail. Finally though, he said, he may have pressed the right button, “I talked to (Ald.), Patti Richards and she mentioned that she wanted to do something and that’s good. That's something positive," Amaral stid. “All you really need to do is tear up the field, get the rocks out and put down proper soi But Richards, who is in her second year as chairman of the city’s parks and recreation com- just fi mittee, said it might sound easy but it will be ‘‘a big-dollar item” and money’s one thing the com- mittee isn’t flush with these days. “*Hopefully we can get something in the budget for next year but it’s certainly going to take some staff time to appraise and assess and then come to coun cil with a cost,"’ she said As far as safety concerns go, Richards said people who play on the field can take one of two op: tions. “*If they feel that it’s dangerous to be on that field they shouldn't be on it (but) I think they would be more annoyed if we put upa sign and told them not to use it.’ Looking at the overall picture, Richards said the Kiwanis field is just one of many facilities in the city that badly needs work “Tons of money needs to be dedicated to the parks and fecreation areas. They've been neglected for so long we have to Spend twice as much now because they haven’t been maintained And I think council will just have to bite the bullet and increase sub. stantially the parks and rec budget,” Richards said Parks and recreation is slated to Tecelve $66,400 in council's of dollars and cents but more of safety and civic pride. too much either,”* he said. Proposed capital budget for 1990 which will be voted on May 22. That figure is 14 per cent of the total capital budget tenatively set at $471,400. However, $20,000 of that has already been approved and earmarked for sodding the ball diamond at the Complex. Ald. Lawrence Chernoff, who sits on the parks and rec commit- tee, said his position has always been that money should be spent where it is needed most and ‘‘the soccer pitch certainly would be one of those areas."” That's the reason he voted against spending $20,000 for the Complex ball field, he said. He also voted against a motion that would have put $10,000 towards fencing at the pony field at Kin- naird | Park. defeated at—council’s May 8 meeting. That motion was “To me, if you look at the money spent on the pony field . . . we've already spent money on that park, why don’t we use money on other parks?” Chernoff asked, For Amifal, it’s not a question “I don’t think I’m asking for unfit te play soccer on Conttown photo for a gravel DUST IN THE WIND . . .
