Amigos grab the cash

The Castlegar Amigos won enough money to buy their next batch
of refried beans after finishing third in a 12-team competitive slo-pitch
tournament in Slocan City last weekend.

The Amigos took home $150 after losing 15-9 to Nakusp in the
semifinals.

A Nelson team, which beat the Amigos 6-3 earlier in the tourney,
went on to win over $400 in the tournament, which offered
progressively increasing cash prizes for every win.

The Amigos were less than friendly in their other three games in the
tourney as they ran up 50 runs beating a high school team from
Slocan 20-2, Silverton Sudsmen 19-3 and’an unnamed team 11-4.

The Amigos are Patti and Dawn Appenmaier, Adrian Markin,
Adrian Strelieff, Mike Belanger, Larry Stanbra, Deane Horning,
James Waddington, Clay Martini, Shorty O'Farrell, Leslie Swanson,
Kim Southwell and manager Kris Stanbra.

The team, which is newly sponsored this season by Selkirk
Computers of Trail, plays in a tournament in New Denver this
weekend.

Shooters trials set

Dates for the Kootenay region B.C, Summer Games trials for small-
bore shooting and centre-fire rifle were announced this week.

Trials for small-bore shooting will be held June 9 at a range just
outside of Castlegar while trials for the centre-fire rifle team will be
held May 25 at the Nelson outdoor range, two miles south of Ymir.

The teams chosen from the trials will represent the Kootenays (Zone
1) at the Games which are set for July 25-28 in Coquitlam.

Seniors Games, in Stats

The small-bore shooting trials will consist of a 60-shot, three-
position match which involves shooting 20 shots in each of the prone,
standing and kneeling positions, at a target 50 metres away. Thirty
minutes is allowed for each 20-shot series.

Shooters must have their own rifle for the small-bore competition, a
-22-calibre with peep sights. No telescopic sights are permitted. The
Kootenay team will consist of three juniors (under 17 years old) and
three seniors. Entry fee is $10 for juniors and $15 for seniors.

Those interested in the centre-fire rifle trials can contact Bev Pinney
in South Slocan while Castlegar’s Gord Gibson is the contact for small-
bore shooting.

Lindros lays it on line

By ALAN ADAMS

QUEBEC (CP) — It’s money, and
lots of it, that will get Eric Lindros
into a Quebec \Nordiques uniform
next season.

Lindros, who met with reporters
Saturday, stuck to his guns and
refused to say he will join the Nor-
diques after they draft him, and he
repeatedly stressed the National
Hockey League club has better have
deep pockets if they want to sign
him.

‘dt has nothing to do with the
city,’’ said Lindros, at the Memorial
Cup as winner of the major junior
player of the year at Monday’s
awards banquet. “‘It’s got nothing
to do with the culture and it ob-
viously has got nothing to do with
the nightlife.”

So what’s the bottom line?

“Money. It is just a matter of
economics; taxes, the whole contract
package.”’

Lindros, the most talked about
junior in Canada since Mario
Lemieux, is expected to be asking for
an annual salary of $1 million, with a
signing bonus of an equal amount.

Nordiques president Marcel Aubut
said Friday his club, which holds the
No, 1 pick overall, will draft Lindros
“‘whether he likes it or not.’’ The
draft will be held June 22 in Buffalo.

Aubut said NHL president John
Ziegler warned him negotiating with
the teenage sensation is ‘‘absolutely
illegal.’”

But does Lindros feel he is worth $1
million a season?

“*You can’t think about it that way.
You have to think about what you
have done,”’ said Lindros, poised in
answering all questions. ‘‘If you
think you can go out and do the best
job you can do and if you think that
job equates to the money you are
making, then why not?

“If you sign for a lower figure,
then you set your mind that you are
only supposed to play at that level.
If you set your sights high, then you
are worth it. You're only as good as
you think you are. I’m all right. I'll
do OK.”’

Lindros said the options available
to him are the Canadian Olympic
Program or the proposed North
American Hockey League.

He used Wayne Gretzky as .an
example of a player who took a for-
tuitous route to the NHL. Gretzky

Nordiques will need
deep pockets for star

turned pro at 17 in the old World
Hockey Association.

Lindros ‘admitted the NHL is a
priority.

Everyone wants to play in the

NHL and I am just like everyone
else.””
Lindros has played on two world
junior hockey championship clubs
along with a Memorial Cup title
holder, and there is only one other
award he covets.

“The big thing is the Stanley Cup.
The Nordiques are an NHL franchise

and I am willing to play with any
NHL franchise if the economics
make sense.’”

Lindros, sporting a shiner from the
Ontario Hockey League final against
the ‘Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds,
says he will head south for a week
before returning to Toronto to plot
his contract strategy with his agent,
Rick Curran, and his parents.

Nordiques general manager Pierre
Page doesn’t hide the fact he'd like
to have Lindros in his lineup next
season.

“He is a physical, skilled guy who
usually plays better in big gamies,””
said Page. ‘Usually you have a
skilled guy who is not physical or a
physical guy who is not skilled.””

Page doesn’t blame Lindros for not
saying he is eager to join the Nor-
diques. He realizes it is leverage his
Prospect is using,

“If I was him, I would look at all
my options. But he knows we want
him and he knows we will draft him.
All that is missing is negotiations.””
The Oshawa Generals won't get a
chance to deferid their Memorial
Cup title, Sault Ste. Marie
climinated the Greyhounds in the
OHL final. Spokane represents the
Western Hockey League while
Drummondville aid Chicoutimi
represent Quebec.

Salekin came into the special needs

for about three years prior to retur-
ning to college. She began by
working for Castlegar Home Support
Services, providing care for the
elderly. From there she went to work
in a group home for the disabled

Mr. Byra was born Feb. 21, 1903, in Poland. He grew up in
Poland. In 1924 he left and travelled throughout Europe, the
Mediterranean and Africa. He returned to Poland in 1925 and enlisted
in the Polish Calvary. He came to Canada in 1926 and worked as a
farm worker until he homesteaded north of Fort St. John. He married
Sophie Hetman there in 1936. He came to Castlegar in 1969 and
became a resident of Columbia View Lodge in 1983. He enjoyed

allowing those with jobs to continue
working while they attend the classes
at the college.

“Students already working in the
field may receive practicum credit for
performing their regular job,” said
Lindsay.

Recent graduate Doreen Meldrum
of Nelson is an example of how it is
possible to acquire certification in
the field of special needs while main-
taining a job and looking after a
family at the same time. She is
currently employed as a care giver at
@ group home for the handicapped in
Nelson. Meldrum began her quest
for certification by taking a course
on ‘‘normalization” offered by the
college as a preview to the special
needs careers Program. She then
enrolled as a part-time student and
completed all the requirements for
gradudation over two years.

“After taking the program, I

became aware of may situations
where I had seen some things done
incorrectly, Meldrum said. ‘‘Now I
know what should be done for in-
dividuals with disabilities in any
given situation. It was a great cour-
se.”
Applicants to the special needs
Program require English 12 and must
demonstrate an interest in the field
of special needs.

The program is available to
graduates of either early childhoood
education or social service worker
