Despite what can be considered

a major achievement, coach Mike Perra maintains that, “It was 6 pretty big disappointment for both the players and myself. The team that knocked us out was preity good, there were certain circum- stances that I won't go into and things just didn’t come together.” The Kootenay Juvenile Men

“Vemon and Mission were both pretty bad,” said Perra. “But they're just beginning their volley- ball programs there and they'll be pretty good within the next couple of years, Our guys were playing really well and I think White Rock ‘was pretty scared.”

Despite their first two victories the Kootenay Juvenile men lost out to White Rock the following mom- ing.

“The next moming we had to do lines,” said Perra. “Minutes

later we were on the court going against White Rock and so we weren't playing that well.”

The local team went up against Victoria in the quarter final game and lost the first game 16-4 but bounced back winning the next two 15-5 and 15-7,

The win allowed them to advance to the semi-final against Kelowna.

“We won the first game fairly handily 15-8,” said Perra. “Kelow- na took the second game even though we were up 14-11 part way

Machado said that Fruitvale has improved a great deal over last season having added quite a few players to their line up.

“We're also short two, players besides our goalie,” said Macha- do. “We missed them quite a bit.”

The teams were tied going into the fifth inning but it was then that the T-Birds pulled ahead.

“So far we’ve won two, tied one and this is the first one we've lost,” said Amigos coach Kris Standbra. “They're a good team and they’re fun to play against. ‘We're a toummament team, we love toumaments, we play in eight or nine in one summer.”

Standbra’s team is affiliated with Softball B.C. and is also insured with the organization.

Arson destroys bridge in environmental protest

VANCOUVER (SNS) - Arson was blamed Monday for the burn- ing of a logging bridge in a femote British Columbia region where environmentalists want to ban the harvesting of old trees they say are priceless.

Forestry giant MacMillan Bloedel Ltd. said flaming tires, doused in diesel fuel, destroyed a 75-foot section of the 300-foot Kennedy River bridge Sunday on the west coast of Vancouver Island.

“It's definitely arson. There were tires piled on the bridge,” company spokesman Dennis Fitzgerald told Reuters.

Local logging manager Geoff

Lyons said the destruction of the bridge had put 210 loggers out of work. He did not know when they would be able to retum to their job of felling hemlock, balsam and cedar trees.
