The Review

Sidney Little League has swat-
ted two solid hits in its attempt to
build a baseball! complex on leased
airport land.

Little League has been informed
it is the recipient of a $125,000 Go
B.C. grant from the provincial
government.

This is in addition to a $50,000
donation received recently from
the Sidney Rotary club.

The money will help defray the
expected $262,000 cash Little
League expects will be needed to
build four diamonds on airport
land.

The total cost is estimated at
$375,000, but Little League antici-
pates receiving about $113,000 in
volunteer labor and machinery and
donated supplies.

The league has $20,000 in its
coffers for the project, plus the
Town of Sidney has committed
another $20,000.

Little League president Ted
Daly said without the two grants,
“this thing was going to be a
reality but maybe two years down
the road.”

Now the league has hopes of
playing ball on the diamonds next

season, he said.

Little League has about 500
youngsters playing baseball on five
diamonds seven days a week dur-
ing the season.

Diamonds at Sanscha Park were
threatened when an interchange
was proposed for the Pay Bay
Highway and Beacon Avenue.

That threat has subsided, but
Little League still wants to build
five new diamonds fanning out
from a central concessions and
office area. Plans show parking for
100 vehicles.

In addition to the funding, Little
League is close to having a lease
agreement worked out with Trans-
port Canada for airport land.

A parcel has been offered under
the approach to runway 31 along
Canora Road. The Jand was leased
to John Pendray, a farmer, but
airport manager Laurie Brown
said Pendray has agreed to change
the boundaries of his lease.

Brown said Transport Canada
welcomes the venture, and assures
that any construction must con-
form to safety standards.

“From our point of view, it’s in
the same league with agricultural-
type uses,” said Brown, “and it’s
an opportunity for us to be good
corporate citizens and provide a
facility for the community,”

Daly said the league must hire a
project manager, who would work
with Transport Canada staff to get
the construction plans approved
and under way.

The league also has to work out
responsibilities for ongoing main-
tenance with the Town and District
of North Saanich.

Tim Smart flicked a 30-yard Jim

Cordova Bay goalkeeper with less
than 10 minutes left to tie the score
in the Third Division matchup.

Player-coach Drew Smyth said

The three were tied with a net

with another Smart shot at full
time.

Cordova Bay scored early, at the
eight-minute mark, on a penalty
after a Cove defender was judged
to have tripped an attacking for-
ward. Both sides had few chances
to add to the tally as the game, for
the most part, was played in a
tightly-packed midfield.

Smyth said after Cove’s Lee
Robson was sent off at the 60-
minute point, the team was spurred
on to take control of midfield play.

Cove reshuffled and ‘started to
dominate Cordova Bay, showing
great desire to draw level.”

With only three men back, Cove
pushed forward and was rewarded
with a goal.

The final five minutes was full
of end-to-end attacks, as a great
chance for Cove was followed by a

WINSTON & CLEMENTINE: The Triumphs & Tragedies of the Churchills |?
by Richard Hough. Bantam. 590 pages. $7.99.
The Road from Coorain by Jill Ker Conway. Vintage. 238 pages. $11.95.

Richard Hough has chronicled the indomitable Winston's activities as a J:
naval administrator in nine previous books, including The Battle of Britain
(1989). In this portrait of Churchill's married and family life, Hough offers
views of the man at his most heroic and of his wife at her most sufferingly
noble. With family scandals, country houses, royal cameos, and Churchillian
eccentricity leaping off every page, Winston & Clementine screams for a
Masterpiece Theatre” screen treatment.

Hough's biography is primarily for Winston worshippers. Unfortunately, the
rest of the Churchills, including Clementine, tend to get overlooked (of 12
chapters that trace their premarriage lives, Winston gets 11; Clementine,
only one.) Readers looking for another perspective should try daughter Mary
Soame’s Clementine Churchill, 1979, or, better yet, William Manchester's
ongoing, magnificant The Last Lion (1983, 1988). :

Jill Ker Conway, noted historian and author of The Road to Coorain, was
born at Coorain, on Australia’s western plains. By age eight she worked full
time on her father’s sheep ranch, and spent a few hours each week on a
correspondence course. When her father died, her mother sank into a
depression, and Jill (who had no social skills) was taken to Sydney and
enrolled in a private girls’ school where she studied to become a histonian.

Eager to pursue her education, she faced obstacles: her mother’s
demands and 1950's Australian society that had no place for a woman
scholar. This engrossing memoir — a vivid, thoughtful picture of the
Australian national character and experience, and of an exceptional woman's
personal and intellectual growth — ends on the eve of her escape to
graduate school in America. In 1975 Conway became the first woman
president of Smith College.
