SOLIDFYING
SOFTWARE
Following a two month
study District 28 has agreed to
standardize its computer software
programs.
For word processing it will
use Microsoft Word and Microsoft
Works programs; in
elementary schools the Turbo
System will be standardized.
All future software changes
must be approved by the superintendent
and secretarytreasurer.
The decsion was based on
recommendations of a 23
member committee and subcommittee
headed by Gordon
Reid. The committee was
comprised of educators and
administration personnel.

INTERESTING IDEA
SAYS MP WORTHY
Cariboo-Chilcotin MP
Dave Worthy (PC) says a District
28 idea to create a taxdeductible
registered education
savings plan would be useful in
encouraging students to continue
with their education. The
board has made the suggestion
to federal Finance Minister
Michael Wilson as a method
to encourage parents to save
for their children's post
secondary education.
BAKER ELEMENTARY
LAUDED BY VISITORS
District 28 staff are high in
the books of a group of Grade
3 and 4 Vavenby, B.C. students,
teachers and parents.
Bus problems were experienced
by the Barkervillebound
students. What they
met with in Quesnel was understanding
at District 28 administration,
comfort by way
of a gymnasium at Baker
Elementary and a bus from
the district garage to ensure
the tired and discouraged
troupe reached their destination.
Wrote Vavenby teacher
Robyn Rexin of Quesnel's hospitality:
"The janitors, bus drivers
and coordinators and teachers
we came in contact with made
a disterous situation into
(form the children's point of
view) just lots of adventures.
We are greatly indebted to
them all and commend them
highly."
ENROLMENT

Baker Elementary's 403
youngsters is the largest student
body among elementary
schools in the district. According
to District 28 enrolment
stats Bouchie Lake is second
with 328, Lakeview is third
with 319 and Dragon Lake
Elementary is fourth with 297.
Correlieu Secondary has 731
students compared to 711 at
QSS. The most sparsely populated
school in teh district is at
Nazko Elementary where 13
fulltime youngsters receive an
education.
Five native graduates were
honored at the ninth annual
secondary native awards luncheon
held at the Quesnel Native
Friendship Centre on June
8.
Native leaders, educators,
family and friends gathered at
the Friendship Centre to pay
tribute to Michelle Blandin,
Joseph Munro (Correlieu),
Russ Chanin, Lea Felker and
Shawn Kilroy (Quesnel Senior
Secondary).
An agreement to promote
B.C.'s manufactured wood
products industry will provide
increased market opportunities
for secondary wood
product companies in this province.
The cooperative industrial
and market development program
will provide up to $6.85
million to increase production
and exports from this industry
to world markets. This means
an expansion of the wood products
sector in B.C. and
greater employment opportunities
in the province.
The agreement, will be cost
shared 40 per cent by the federal
government, 40 per cent
by the provincial government
and 20 per cent by the
manufactured wood products
industry of B.C.
The ceremony was
sponsored by the Native Education
Advisory Committee,
The Quesnel Tillicum Society
and the Quesnel School District.
A special feature of the
luncheon was a performance
titled "Power of Potlach" by
the Lc-la-la dancers from Victoria.
The message the dancers
convey is that alcoholism and
drug abuse are destroying native
people.
Master of Ceremonies was
native child worker, Barb
Felker and guest speaker was
Director of instruction for special
services, Ed Napier.

CHINA VISIT
REROUTED
A delegation of three
Quesnel teachers, who were
scheduled to take part in a
July Chinese educational exchange,
have had their travel
plans altered due to inclement
slaughter in the Communist
country. The provincially
funded program is aimed at
developing educational tics between
Pacific Rim countries
and B.C.
In confirming the scheduling
change to trustees last
week, superintendent Paul
McMuldroch said the three
will be redirected to "a safer
area of the world". The three
week now tour Singapore and
Thailand.
McMuldroch said that
when student rioting in Beijing
first began, representative at
the Chinese Consulate in Vancouver
told education officials
that the Beijing "troubles"
were "akin to the student
problems at Berkeley in the
1960s." McMuldroch added,
however, that organizers of the
exchange haven't heard from
the consulate spokesman
since.
DIVORCE QUESTION
SETTLES ON KIDS
Divorced parents who want
equal access to their school ag
ed child's records will have to
resolve the issue themselves
when it comes to Quesnel area
classrooms.
New District 28 policy on
the issue determines that a
parent must show access rights
- through the courts - before
educational information on his
or her child will be released.
The policy statement says that
custody parents only will be
granted parent/teacher interview
"unless compatible arrangements
can be made between
the estranged spouses
and the principal."

The B.C. Automobile
Association, in co-operation
with Transport Canada, is issuing
a public notice affecting
129,397 car seals sold in
Canada between March 1,
1985 and February 1, 1989.
BCAA and Transport
Canada are warning owners of
the popular Dyn-O-Mlte and
Evcnflo infant car scats, both
manufactured by the Evenflo
Juvenile Furniture Co. that
these seats do not comply with
Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards for infant carriers.
Specifically, in crash
tests carried out by Transport
Canada, these car scats were
foimd to exceed the ma.ximum
70 degree seat back angle
allowable under the standard
when used in their most reclined
position with only an
automobile lap belt to secure
the restraint. The purpose of
the 70 degree maximum angle
is to reduce the possibility of a
child being ejected out of the
top of the carrier in a frontal
collision. All other recline
positions meet the safety standards
when installed according
to the manufacturer's instructions.
The installation instructions
originally provided by Evenflo
stated the seats could "be used
in all recline positions as a
rear-facing restraint in cars".
The company is now taking
corrective action by issuing
warning labels to be attached
to all Dyn-O-Mite and Evenflo
infant car seats informing consumers
not to use the restraint
in ils most reclined position in
the car when attached by only
the vehicle's lap belt.
Owners of Dyn-O-Mite or
Evenflo infant car seats should
examine the compliance label
on the back of the seat. If the
model number is 441, 442,
443, 444, 445, 446, 448, 456 or
458 and the date of manufacture
falls between March 1,
1985 and February 1, 1989,
they can obtain a corrective
warning label to place on their
seat by contacting:
Evenflo Juvenile Furniture
Company, 11 Bodine Drive,
Brantford, Ontario, N3T5V7,
1-800-265-0749 or any of
BCAA's 16 Service Centres or
Technical & Consumer Advisory
department. Seats made
before or after those dates
were alrady labelled with an
appropriate warning.
"We encourage all owners
of these seats to make every effort
to obtain their warning
labels", says Bob McHugh,
Technical Supervisor of the
500,000 member B.C.
Automobile Association.
"Even if owners are aware of
how to use the restraint safely,
there's always a possibility
that the seat could be borrowed
or sold to someone who
does not know aboul this important
change to the installation
instructions".
BCAA participates in a National
Child Restraint Information
Program in association
with Transport Canada to inform
the public of issues
relating to the safety of
children in cars. Anyone with
questions concerning this
public notice or any other
child restraint device may contact
BCAA's Technical and
Consumer Advisory department.

In Norse mythology, Mjolnir,
the hammer of Thor,
returned to his hand after he
threw it. Thor Johannesen of
the Super Valu Babe Ruth
team doesn't have that trick
perfected, but the effect of his
pitches is about the same.
Johannesen struck out 26
batters in 13 innings on the
weekend, leading Super Valu
to ihe title at the Babe Ruth
tournament, held at Alex
Fraser Park. Super Valu went
undefeated through the
modified double-knockout
event, finishing with an 19 - 1
thrashing of Safeway Sunday
afternoon.
Safeway scored first in the
game, with a run in the top of
the first, but Super Valu
batted through the lineup in
the bottom ofthe inning, and
never looked back. The score
was 18 - 1 by the end of the
fourth inning, and Super Valu
cruised to the win.
The tournament outcome
was not completely unexpected,
as Super Valu had
Quesnel's Ryan McTavish

World Scries. No, the Babe
Ruth player hasn't signed a
pro contract with the Yomiuri
Giants just yet, but ho will be
representing Canada al the
Babe Ruth World Series.
The Babe Ruth Series,
seen as a counterpart lo the
Little League World Scries
held in Williamsport, Pennsylvania
annually, is getting off
the ground in July. The Japanese
organizers delayed too
long in getting in touch with
Canada though, and it looked
like there wouldn't be Canadian
representation.
McTavish's local coach, Kyle
Lewis, says il turned inlo a
provincial matter.
"A private group came forward
and said they would
sponsor the team. They held
tryout camps around the province,
with the idea of making
it a B.C. provincial team lhal
would represent Canada."
Six local players went with
Lewis lo the first tryout camp
in Prince George. Of those si.\,

D'Lugos were selected to attend
the final tryout camp in
Victoria a couple of weeks
ago.
also finished first in league
play.
With the end of the tournament
came the end of the
Babe Ruth season, and that
meant the awards were handed
out. The majority of the
avi/ards were determined by
play during the tournament,
with only two exceptions. The
Mr. Hustle award was
determined during the tournament,
but each coach was
asked beforehand to submit a
name for consideration. Kirt
Low of Safeway was the winner.
The only trophy that had
already been decided before
the tournament was the Royce
Lynch Memorial Trophy for
the Rookie of the Year.
Named in honor of Royce
Lynch, a former baseball
player who was killed in an
automobile accident earlier
this year, the first recipient
was Lance Townsend of Overwaitea.

Ryan McTavish ... heading to
Japan
And now McTavish is one
of the 18 selected to represent
Canada at the inaugural 13-15
year old Babe Ruth World
Series. The fourteen-year-old
McTavish says he was surprised
to get the call Thursday.
"There were 43 guys at the
camp in Victoria, and they
picked 16 of them there. They
told us they were taking 18,
and they'd make the other two
picks later. I didn't know if I'd
be picked or not.
"I gave it my best at the
The time has come for another trip into those regions which
are probably best left unexplored. Time for another foray into the
reasons for my becoming a sports reporter. Time for another look
at my athletic career, and why I realized the chances of a milliondollar
contract as a professional athlete were slim.
I got several nasty letters from hockey coaches last winter after
I wrote about my career in minor hockey. It seems some of their
players decided to quit after realizing they could never hope to assume
the same level of play I described myself as possessing. Of
course I also got some letters from pla3'ers who said they'd always
thought of themselves as hopeless until they read my column.
Then they realized they were miles above me.
So for this column, I decided to wait until the minor baseball
season was all but over. Yes, I played baseball in my younger days.
Before any wise guy asks me if I knew Babe Ruth, the answer is
no. (Digression: Do you realize that with the shape Babe Ruth
was in, no baseball team today would have drafted him. Makes
you wonder whether all this science is good for the sport or not.)
Anyway, after playing hockey for a while I decided to take up a
summer sport as well. I chose baseball on the theory that with
nine positions, the odds were good that I could find somewhere to
play where I wouldn't hurt the team too much.
I was a very versatile player. One of my coaches told me
"Allan, we now know of six positions you can't play. But we'll
keep trying." I think the main reason for this perseverance was
the rule that said every player had to bat at least once and play at
least one inning in the field each game. They couldn't just stick me

award for his .700 average;
Blake Lawlor (Overwaitea),
Top Infielder; Chris Verigan
(Overwaitea), Top Outfielder;
and Thor Johannesen (Super­
Valu), Top Pitcher and MVP.
As well, each coach had his
own awards to hand out to his
team. Each coach selected a
Most Valuable Player, a Most
Improved Player, and a Most
Sportsmanlike Player. For SuperValu,
the winners were
Thor Johannesen (MVP),
Daryl Greenwood (MIP), and
Danny Eriksson (MSP).
Safeway winners were Lee
Naeth (MVP), Curtis Collins
(MIP), and Virgil Lowe
(MSP).
Overwaitea winners were
Jeremiah D'Lugos (MVP),
Terry Bordeleau (MIP), and
Lance Townsend (MSP). Winners

Trevor Stovell (MIP), and
Jason Severson (MSP).
tryouts, and that's all I could
do."
The team will be playing
in a tournament in the United
States on the July long
weekend, then will leave for
Japan July 21.
Their first game in the
tournament will be against
Japan on July 25. Other teams
represented at the event will
be Taiwan, Cuba, Korea, Australia,
Italy, China, Peru, and
the United States.
McTavish played just about
every position this past season,
but is being slotted in as a
middle infielder for the Canadian
team. Lewis says he
doesn't expect McTavish to
sec much action on the
mound.
"Of the 18 kids they
picked, I think about half of
them are pitchers. I think the
big reason they want to play in
this tournament in the States is
to get a look at the different
combinations."
McTavish agrees that he
won't be seeing much mound
action, but doesn't care where
he plays.
"I think I'll be playing third
or second. It doesn't really
matter to me, as long as I
play."
ALLAN WISHART - SPORTS EDITOR
They don't get any closer
than they did at the Qucsnelto-Barkerville
Bike Race on
Sunday. Darcy Magdalinski
and Ian Tanner were riding
wheel-to-wheel to the finish,
and just as they reached the
line, Magdalinski nosed ahead
to take the title.
The time of 2:24:35 by
Magdalinski and Tanner compares
well with the race record
of just over 2:15. It was a perfect
day for riding, with the
storm clouds always threatening,
but never raining on the
parade of riders. A total of 41
riders took part in the licensed
race, with another 15 recreational
riders joining them.
' Just three seconds behind
Magdalinski and Tanner were
Duane Swan and Allan Norquay.
Once again the judges'
eyes were called into the dispute,
and they gave the nod to
Swan for third place.
Magdalinski's win also gave
him the title in Class 3, while
Tanner took Class 5 honors.
Swan won Class 4 honors, with
Norquay coming in second in
Class 5.
Fifth overall went to Louis
Bernhardt, who was also the
first of the Veteran Mens
competitors to reach the finish.
Mike Christensen (Class
4), Brad Thorlason (Class 4),
Peter Culligan (Class 5), Bill
Sanders (Class 4) and Dwayne

My career as a pitcher was short. As were most of my pitches.
The coach decided enough was enough when he noticed the
catcher was throwing the ball back to me faster than I was throwing
it to him. So he made us change positions.
The catcher's equipment is commonly called the tools of ignorance.
I don't know why it got this name. To my mind it took a
college degree to figure out how to put half the stuff on. But I
finally got it all on, took my position behind the plate and realized
two things. First, I couldn't move. If the ball hit me right in the
glove I was okay. If I had to try to move at all, I had a tendency to
fall over on .my back. Like a turtle, without help this position
would become fatal.
The second problem I had was much more serious. I lacked
one of the critical elements of a catcher's game. I had a good idea
of my pitcher's strengths and weaknesses. I knew how to call a
good game. I wasn't afraid to move the infield around for different
batters. I had a good arm for throwing baserunncrs out. I
had almost the complete package.
But I couldn't whistle.
A catcher who can't whistle is an outcast. Like a first baseman
who can't catch or a centerfielder who can't throw, he is missing
an essential part of the game. I tried whistling, but I couldn't. It
was a physical problem. For a while, I tried carrying a referee's
whistle with me and faking it. Then one day a foul ball hit mc
right in the mask halfway through a whistle. For a while the doc­

tors thought 1 would have to communicate by whistling for the
rest of my life.
So I moved to first base. I had a good stretch, and a good
glove. My only problem was a tendency to try to catch the ball before
it got to the bag. This usually resulted in my foot coming off
the bag, with the runner then being safe.
Second base and shortstop proved to be good spots for me.
The number of times we got a chance to turn a double play were
minimal, so I never had to worry about the runner bowling me
over as I made my pivot. But the coaches decided to keep trying
other positions.
Third base is called the hot corner. I found out why early. The
firsl three batters whistled balls past me. I called time, and trotted
into the dugout. The coach handed me some sunglasses, thinking I
couldn't see the ball because of the glare off cars parked behind
the fence. I shook him off, and picked up a batting helmet. I
needed safety out there.
That gave the coach the idea of putting me in the outfield. The
idea worked to perfection. 1 proved to have a good arm, and knew
how to position myself for the different hitters. It was as an outfielder
that I made my finest play. With a runner on second in a
lie game, I was playing left field. The batter hit a long fly ball. I
backed up near the fence, timed my leap perfectly and pulled the
ball in. Seeing that the runner had left second base, I fired a strike
lo the bag. As the ball left my hand, I remembered there had already
been two out.
The less said about my batting, the better.

Quesnel athletes picked up
63 top three finishes, including
