Lottery Corp has now done for the Van- --couver Canucks. “Only my idea was to have it go to-all amateur sports in cwhat I called support for young athletes from play- grounds to podiums. Isn’t that what ‘the original lottery “corporation was founded to do - support amateur athlete “development? But it got to be such a big winfall that government got their greedy litle fingers in the pie and ~sthe funds were diverted to general revenues. -- “That was bad enough but this last deal lo set it up a “/licket in support of a pro hockey team really slaps all “young athletes, coaches, and even our parents who often spend jong hours on the roads driving our children all ‘over the province, in the face. “It shows the lack of consideration of both the lottery corp‘and the provincial government to our up and com- ao “ing stars.

The Caledonia kermode basketball team being ane. City hail was promoting kermode beaer pins, which went everywhere, including the lower mainland. All of a sudden our bear has been moved to Princess Royal Island and become a Spirit Bear. 1 disagree that kermode is a difficult word. Why should we bend.to the wishes of people who find ker- mode a difficult word. It might peak their interest if ils an unusual word, It’s been our kermode bear for years. Let’s keep it that way.
