Handsworth track needs upgrade

HANDSWORTH SEC-
ONDARY School Associa-
tion (HSSA) will be holding
a Jog-a-thon to raise
money for the upgrading of
the community track at
Handsworth Secondary
School.

Montroyal Elementary School
students will be taking part in the
Jog-a-thon May 12 and Hand-
sworth students will run on June 4
and 5. To sponsor a student, call
980-9464.

The Handsworth track was built
in 1971 and is now worn, uneven
and in need of resurfacing.

HSSA has started its fundrais-
ing drive and the target is $45,000.
A silent auction in March saised
$5,000 as many North Shore mer-
chants generously supported the
cause.

The education ministry recently
allotted $280,000 for the upgrade,
providing there are matching
funds from other sources. HSSA
representative Kitty Castle said her
group hopes that North Van-
couver District will approve fund-
ing of $95,000 for the project with

the adoption of the district’s

budget on May 11.

The GO B.C, grant that would
have completed the funding was
cancelled in March and will be
replaced by a more modest Com-
munity Grants Program.

Carson, Argyle teams advance

SEMI-FINALS were held on May
4 between Handsworth and Car-
son Graham at Cleveland Park.
Carson defeated Handsworth 2-1
in overtime.

The winning goal was scored by

North Shore finals were held on
May 6 between first-place Argyle
and fourth-place Carson Graham

at Grand Boulevard Park. Carson
defeated Argyle i-0 to win the
North Shore championship.

The winning goal was scored by
Amber Zora off a corner kick by .
Halis.

Carson and Argyle go into
district playoffs this week and,if
they are successful, they will go to
