TREET TALK

A NEW reflexology and message therapy office will
soon open Monday at 958 Columbia Ave., and will be
known as Modern Reflexology.

The new therapy facility will be under the direction
of Viviane Dupuis, a Manitoban who has been allied to the
health field for upwards of 15 years.

Following consultation with Harry Stan, an
executive director of the Castlegar and District
Development Board, Dupis said she feels the region has a
wealth of untapped small business potential, especially in
the field of reflexology and massage therapy. The facility
will be available to provide services at least two evenings
a week to accommodate those who work during normal
daytime working hours.

Many “diseases” are merely a conflict between the
body and negative factors in the environment, Dupuis
says. In healing, it is not necessarily the doctor, the
treatment, the medicine, or the surgery that does the
healing, but rather the body itself that knows its
perfection, she added.

precision and semantics of a language will aid in the knowledge of one’s
own language — in self-expression — and in the exposure to new
disciplines that are applicable to any learning situation.

. The disciplines and skills one learns beside the language itself, will be
used time and time again in whatever else one does.

Two ships

hunt seals

ST. JOHN'S, NFLD. (CP)
— The sealing ship Terra
Nova left port Tuesday night
to join a Halifax ship in the
first ship-based sea] hunt in
five years off northern New-
foundland.

But the ship already hunt-
ing, the Chester, was having
problems finding seals.

The Chester, which left for
the sealing grounds over a
week ago, was in open waters
Tuesday and took no seals,
said Don Wells, enforcement
co-ordinator with the federal
fisheries department. The
ship has taken only about
200 seals so far.

It's getting late in the
season and many of the seals
that go up on the ice in early
spring have already scat-

she said, adding that stu-

“If we have a school sys:

feeling that they have a right
to be confused and say so, we
leave ourselves vulnerable.

“It should be in the bill of
rights for every person to

Research shows early
childhood programs that
push young students too hard
and too soon to acquire aca.
demic skills can discourage
them from wanting to use
those skills, Katz said.

“It's not much use to have
reading skills if in the process
of acquiring them your desire
to read has been killed.”

She pointed to flashy nur-
sery rhymes and flashcards
as examples of “absolutely
silly” academic exercises that
have no relation to children’s
lives.

Instead, she suggests
taking young children to the
supermarket to watch and
talk about all the things they
see there.

Studies also show children

It was scenes of the white-

NHL ACTION

Smith saves Oilers

___ The Canadian Press a

For once, the Eidegenton Oilers were cheering a fluke
goal by defenceman Steve Smith.

Smith, whose miseve turned into the goal that
eliminated the Oilers from the National Hockey League
playoffs last year, scored another bizarre goal Tuesday
night.

But this time it went into the right net and helped
Edmonton to a 5-4 overtime win over the visiting Winnipeg
Jets.

Smith's soft slap shot from the blueline at 1:29 was a
foot wide of the net. But the puck hit the stick of Winnipeg
goaltender Pokey Reddick and bounced into the goal.

Oilers coach Glen Sather said it was about time Smith
got a lucky bounce. “He's had his share of bad luck for almost
a year now.”

The run of bad luck started against the Calgary Flames
in the playoffs when Smith's pass from behind the net
caromed off goaltender Grant Fuhr's leg into the Oilers net
and bounced the Oilers out of the Smythe Division final.
, SCORES TWICE

Mark Messier had two goals for Edmonton as the Oilers
moved five points ahead of the Philadelphia Flyers in the
race to finish first overall in the NHL.

A win by the Oilers or a loss by the Flyers will give top
spot in the 21-team league — and the $200,000 that goes with
it — to the Edmonton club.

Kevin McClelland and Jari Kurri also scored for the
Oilers. Gilles Hamel scored twice and Brian Mullen and
Laurie Boschman added singles for Winnipeg.

In other games, it was Boston Bruins 4 Quebec
Nordiques 2, New York Islanders 4 St. Louis Blues 3, New
Jersey Devils 5 Pittsburgh Penguins 3, and Washington

Capitals 4 Toronto Maple Leafs 2.
CAPITALS 4 LEAFS 2

In Landover, Md., Bob Gould scored a pair of goals to
lead Washington, second in the Patrick Division, past
Toronto. The loss cost the Maple Leafs a chance to move into
third place in the Norris Division. Toronto remained one
point behind Chicago and Minnesota. Chicago has three
games remaining. Minnesota and Toronto two each. Both of
Toronto's remaining games are with Chicago.

BRUINS 4 NORDIQUES 3

Goals by Tom McCarthy and Nevin Markwart 33
seconds apart in the third period broke a tie and lifted
visiting Boston over Quebec.

The victory enabled Boston to move within one point of
the Montreal Canadiens in the battle for second place in the
Adams Division. Boston has two games left, while Montreal
has three. The Nordiques need a win in one of their three
remaining games or a loss by the Sabres to clinch fourth
place in the Adams Division and a playoff series against the
Hartford Whalers.

ISLANDERS 4 BLUES 3

In St. Louis, Pat LaFontaine scored twice to lead New
York past St. Louis and keep the Islanders one point behind
Washington in the contest for second place in the Patrick
Division. St. Louis, meanwhile, stayed five points behind the
Detroit Red Wings, who lead the Norris Division. Both
teams have three games remaining. Despite the loss, the
Blues clinched a playoff berth when the Leafs lost.

DEVILS 5 PENGUINS 3

Perry Anderson scored three goals and John MacLean
picked up four assists to lead New Jersey to victory over
visiting Pittsburgh. It was the first three-goal performance
of Anderson's NHL career.

Sugar Ray feels confident
going into ring with Hagler

LAS VEGA, NEV. (AP) — Sugar Ray Leonard, making
his first appearance since arriving here for Monday night's
fight against Marvelous Marvin Hagler, didn't have tg wait
long before being asked the inevitable question

How does a former welterweight champion who has had
one fight in the last five years beat a middleweight great
with proven knockout power?

“T feel I can beat any man I step into the ring with,”
Leonard answered patiently. “It's just my nature.”

Leonard is guaranteed $11 million US to climb into the
ring against Hagler for the scheduled 12-round fight for
Hagler's World Boxing Council middleweight title. But
Leonard has said all along that it’s not the money but the
desire to prove his greatness in the ring that made this bout.

“It's a continuation of my career,” said Leonard, who
admits being driven by the desire to return to the public eye.

Leonard made his comments during a brief press
conference Tuesday among several dozen of the estimated
1,000 media who will flock to Caesars Palace to record what
is being billed, The Superfight.

Hagler, who arrived at the resort Tuesday afternoon,
planned to meet with the press today.

The pre-fight hpe, which began last November with a
touch by the two fighters that was eventually aborted when
Hagler became irritated. with Leonard's theatrics, is in its
final stages this week. And it’s being carefully orchestrated.

Prior to Leonard's 20-minute appearance in the fight
press room, his public relations man passed out a list of four
questions the former two-time champion was tired of
answering. Included was why he was risking reinjury of the

retina of his left eye and whether he would fight again after
Hagler.

The question about his eye was still posed. Leonard
suffered a detached retina in 1982, then retired before
returning for his last fight, an unimpressive ninth-round
knockout of Kevin Howard in May 1984.

“I don't think about it,” Leonard answered curtly.

The fight, scheduled for a 15,000-seat arena in the
parking lot of Caesars Palace, is already a financial success,
said promoter Bob Arum.

MAKES PROFIT

“The fighters have already made their guarantees of
$23 million,” Arum said. He also said the net has reached
about $27 million.

Leonard is guaranteed $11 million, Hagler $12 million,
but the $250,000 WBC sanctioning fee is reported to be
coming out of Hagler's purse.

The WBC is the only one of the international governing
bodies recognizing the 12-round bout Monday night as a
middleweight championship fight.

The World Boxing Association has stripped Hagler of
his title because he didn’t make a mandatory defence against
its leading contender last December.

On Tuesday in Boston, U.S. District Court Judge
Robert Keeton refused to make permanent a preliminary
injunction against the WBA's action. Morris Goldings,
Hagler'’s lawyer, said an appeal is planned.

The International Boxing Federation still recognized
Hagler as champion, but would declare the title vacant
should Leonard win.

urling rinks
iven warning

VANCOUVER (CP) — Officials cracked down on
sweeping violations at the world men’s curling championship
following a vocal Scottish complaint Tuesday about illegal

brushing techniques. .
Umpires warned shotmakers repeatedly during the
hnic not,

line and that is being enforted the same this year,” said
Waite. “The teams were told at a meeting that we would be
enforcing the brushing regulations.

“We've got positive responses from everybody. We
think the brushing is improving: We will enforce thé rules
more strictly as the competition goes along. Rocks will be

fourth round about pproved by the
International Curling’ Federation.

Scottish lead Richard Harding, a freelance journalist
from Glasgow, charged after the third round that sweepers
from Sweden and the United States brushed rocks illegally
during the earlier draws.

“The main problem is that the umpiring is weak,” said
Harding.

“Last year in Toronto we came.down hard on the hog

Sweden and Norway both had rocks removed by
umpires during their game, one for improper sweeping and
the other for a hog line violation.

“The biggest problem is interpretation of the rules,”
said Jim Waite of London, -Ont., chief umpire for the
tournament. “There are so many different techniques used
in Europe.

“Some of those techniques are not according to the
international rules. The approach we've taken in the early
rounds is to teach them, let them know what they're doing
wrong and have them do it better.”

d if flagrant

Harding levelled his criticism after the Scotland rink
skipped by Grant MePherson won its first game with a 73
decision over Jean-Francois Orset of France. Scotland lost
twice Monday, 4-2 to the U.S. and 7-5 against Sweden, and
again Tuesday night, 6-2 against the Canasdian rink of Russ
Howard of Penetanguishine, Ont.

“A team gets two earnings if they are doing things
incorrectly,” Waite said. “Up to that point, nothing happens.

“A third violation results in a rock or rocks being taken
off.”

Waite disagreed with Harding’s charge that umpires
were inconsistant with their calls. ‘i

“The way the sweeping rules are being interpreted here
is that no part of the handle may be over the stone at any
time,” Waite said. “The second major criteria is that the
insert point of the handle into the brush must move across
the five-inch running surface of the stone,”

Waite insisted the umpires are “not being picky” and
the rules have not been changed for the 1987 championships
at B.C. Place Stadium.

TORONTO (CP) — Let's play ball and be good sports

That's the message Toronto politicians are telling
their Cincinnati counterparts, who are miffed the Toronto
Blue Jays will be the first team outside of the United
States to start baseball's major league season over the
Cincinnati Reds, the team that usually vets the honor.

To settle the sporting unrest between the two cities,
Metro Toronto council voted Tuesday to challenge
Cincinnati city council to a_friendly ball game in an
attempt to cool the outrage of the U.S. politicians.

Cincinnati councillors have lobbied higher levels of
government to prevent the Blue Jays from throwing out

With television contracts signed, sealed and

Scarborough Ald. Brian Ashton, a member of metro
council, said the politicians’ match could be held before a
regular season baseball game, possibly in July with
proceeds from the game going to charity.

Ashton said he hopes the details will be worked out
by the end of the month.

And what city are the Metro councillors proposing
the game be held in? “Toronto, of course,” Ashton said.
