Knights quit
Youth team to fill in
for men’s squad

THE MIGHTY Knights of Terrace Men’s Soccer are
no more,

The team that won the last two Men’s
Championships in this city disbanded last week alter
having won just one game all season.

“They had some players leave town and they suf-
fered some injuries,’ says league spokesperson Jac-
ques Corstanje. ‘“Their morale was really low.””

The Knights were in first place at this point in the
season last year. This year they were in the basement of
the cight-team league, with only four points and 21
goals,

All Knights who wished to continue play in the
league have been drafled into other teams, .

Terrace Minor Soccer’s U-19 squad will play exhibi-
tion matches with league teams in place of the Knights
for the rest of the season.

“We've played exhibition games with them before,’’
Corstanje says. ‘‘They’re very competitive and play
some high-calibre soccer,”

Super BM still sits atop league standings, having lost
just one match all season. They are followed closely by
Forestry, who have lost their last two.

Regular season play winds down Sept, 7. Playoffs
will begin the following weekend, with the finals tak-
ing place the weekend of Sept. 20.

“Darling, don’t forget to wear your Jacket

remember, watch your driving, You've alrea-
dy fost 10 points.”

Nelson was saying goodbye to his wife
outside his. home on Deman Island. He
could hardly wait to get away.

“And darling, please take the trouble to
look for a proper parking place. Last month
alone we paid close to $300 for your parking
tickets!"

Nelson drove off in his BMW. He looked
forward to the next ten hours of peace and
quiet and no one counting how many points
he had or didn't have.

He drove to his favorite parking bullding in
Vancouver.

There was the sign. “Full”

“Drat, | better do something fast. | have
two minutes to make my appointment”

Nelson circled and circled round the
block. No parking spaces left.

Suddenly something snapped In Nelson's
head.

“When there's a $1- milllon dallar deal
pending, you don't worry about a couple of
dollars spent on parking tickets. I'm parking
tight here. | don't care whether the sign
says. ‘No Parking at any time.”

Neilson zoomed to a sudden stop at the
curb, put on the alarm, and dashed inside
the office building.

One hour later, no Nelson. A cop stopped,
wrote out a parking ticket and slapped it on
the windshield under the wipers.

Another hour later, the cop drove buy, saw
Nelson's car still parked there, and radioed
for the tow truck. It came, and Nelson's
BMW left.

YOU BE THE JUDGE

Oh Where, 0h Where
Has My Little Car Gone?:

BY CLAIRE BERNSTEIN

BASED ON
ACTUAL
COURT CASES

A moment too late, Nelson practically
flew out of the building, the ink still wet on
the $1-milllon cantract and stopped dead in
his tracks.

“Where's my car? The rotten no good-
nicks they’ve towed it awayl Who do they
think they are, It's against the constitution
ot Canada. And if it isn’t, it should be. I'm
suing the City!

Nelson was still furning in the courtroom:
“Your Honour, | do not live in Vancouver.
When | am away, my car Is my hame. The
City violated my privacy by impounding my
car and taking away my home-away-from-
home. Since, the Charter protects my priva-
cy, the impoundment of my car is against
the Charter,

The City of Vancouver countered: “Your
Honour, we had no intention of keeping Mr.
Brazier’s car. We just wished to remove It
from its illegal parking space and store it
somewhere until he could come and get it.
Trying to keep the streets from illegally
parked cars Is not a violation anyone's priv-
acy or of the Charter.

Is the impoundment of Mr. Brazier's car a
violation of his right to privacy under the
Charter? ;
