Chance of precipitation is 20 per cent Thur sday and 70 per cent Friday 3 Sections (A, B & C) By RON NORMAN The look on Castlegar skier Felix Beleyzk’s face at Monday's post-race press conference said it all. Hopes of ah Olympic gold medal in the downhill race had evaporated just an hour before with an 18th place finish. Belezyk’s time of two minutes, 3.59 seconds was nearly four seconds back of winner Pirmin Zurbriggen's winning run. And Belezyk, one of the pre-race favorites after winning a training run earlier in the week, was crestfallen. “I'm definitely disappointed with the way I skied today,” he said. \ But he remained confident that he can still put it all together in his two remaining alpine events at the 15th Winter Olympic Games. “It's not over for me. I've got the combined downhill tomorrow, the slalom and the super G (giant slalom on . ‘definitely disappointed’ CRUSH OF MEDIA. . tele, coach of the men's Alpine Pressure made the difference Pressure. How athletes handle it can be the difference between winning and losing And nowhere does pressure play a greater role than in downhill skiing, the most basic of the alpine ski events. The winner is the skier who makes it to the bottom the fasiest. Downhill racing is simply a sophisticated version of the week end races every local skier has had with his or her buddies on Red Mountain, Bui the pressure is greater in downhill than other sports because it is the only event where skiers have just one shot at the gold. Slalom skiers have two runs; ski jumpers have two jumps; luge and bobsleigh competitors have two - Felix Belczyk and Glenn Wur- questions from reporters during press conterence. CasNewsbnotos by Ron Norman ski team, field Ron Norman heats, But in downhill it's all or nothing. Two minutes. That's how long the race lasts. Years and years of train ing, hard work, early nights, and earlier mornings. And it's all over in the space of two minutes. That's why a millisecond is the difference between first and second in downhill between a gold and a silver; or a bronze and seventh place. And that pressure was difference between Swiss ace Pir- min Zurgriggen’s gold medal run in Monday’s Olympic downhill ski race in Calgary and Castlegar skier Felix Belezyk's 18th place finish. That's not to say Zurbriggen isn’t better than Belezyk or Boyd or the other Canadians. He is clearly the class of alpine skiing this year. He stands to win as many as five gold the continued on page A2 { Composing Room Foreman y, Belczyk falls in slalom By CasNews Staff and News Services Castlegar's Felix Belezyk fell in the first run of the men's Alpine combined slalom today at the Olympic Winter Games, dashing any hopes of a medal in the event. By falling in the first slalom, Belezyk — Canada’s best chance for a medal in the combined — was auto- matically disqualified from the rest of the event. Belezyk, who was third in Tues- Vittner of France was second in 42.82 with Bernhard Gstrein of Austria third im 43.17. Zurbriggen, who won the downhill section of the combined event Tuesday and who took the regular downhill title on Monday, finished in a three-way tie for sixth in a time of 44.32. The racers were to run the second slalom later in the day and the winner of the event, the second of five Alpine ski contests, is determined through a complicated points system. day's downhill portion, fell only four gates from the end of the run. Franck Piceard of France, who was second in the downhill portion, also fell just four gates from the end of the run, Paul Accola of Switzerland won the first run of the slalom, but teammate Pirmin Zurbriggen remain- ed in the hunt for his second gold medal of the Winter Games. Accola finished the 57-gate Mount Allan course in 42.58 seconds. Armin “I just have to forget about what ha) pened today and try and do my best for the coming events,” he said. Belezyk was the 11th racer out of the starting gate and had seen teammate Brian Stemmle ski off the course on the tough top section. He had also seen teammate Rob Boyd finish more than 2% seconds behind the leader at the time, Swiss veteran Peter Mueller. Belezyk had had trouble with the top part of the challenging Mount Allan course in training and it was clear from his time at the first interval that he hadn't yet mastered the section. He hit the first interval more than two seconds behind Mueller. He improved slightly in the middle part of the course but not enough to pull him within the top 15 skiers. Belezyk said later he felt prepared for the race. “Even until minutes before I got to the start gate my confidence was really high. But when I got into the top 60- YEAR LOW section of the course I could feel that it wasn't the same and I didn't ski as well as I could have.” Belezyk, at 26 the veteran of the Canadian team, said he enjoyed the downhill despite his performance. “I can't say I didn't enjoy it,” he said. “It was alot of fun. I've had a good time here, a really good time. I've enjoyed racing in Canada. I just wished I could have had a better performance.” Asked if he felt the “hype” that is part of the Olympics, Belezyk replied: “The hype is definitely all there.” Coach Glenn Wurtele said he was “as disappointed” as the skiers. But Wurtele said the team is young and inexperienced. “We've known all along that we're relatively inex perienced, especially in the big races like this. “I really think experience showed a lot,” he added, “especially with a veteran like Peter Mueller and Pirmin continued on page A2 Interior facing severe drought By The Canadian Press British Columbia's southern In. terior is in its fifth year of low rain and snowfall and facing its worst drought in nearly 60 years. Other Interior regions also have low snowpacks, but the coastal moun- tains and Vancouver Island have es. caped them, says the February snow survey bulletin issued by the provincial environment ministry. For rancher Bob Haywood-Farm. er, the situation doesn't look en couraging for his herd of 1,200 cattle. Instead of fields covered with snow, bare patches of ground dot his ranch, 35 kilometres west of Kamloops. His irrigation reservoirs, depen- dent (entirely ‘on spring runoff for water, are already at minimum levels because of last summer's drought. “It is a pretty grim-looking situ. ation. If we don’t get some runoff we here, but at century,” By CasNews Staff Dorothy Kinakin has withdrawn from the Kootenay West-Revelstoke NDP nomination contest, the second candidate to do so in less than two months. Marty Horswill.of Nelson with drew his candidacy in early January, citing “personal problems” for drop- ping out of the NDP nomination race Kinakin said she withdrew be cause of some “health problems” that will temporarily side-line her “I very much regret that, for the next month or two, I will be unable to keep up with the momentum of my campaign,” Kinakin said in a prepared release. “It was a very difficult decision to make, in view of the support I received. Kinakin, also a Nelson resident, had developed a campaign organization and body of supporters totalling over 250 members and anticipated bringing an even larger number to the con vention in Castlegar on April 23 “These supporters will not be left without a candidate,” she said, “There College gets new flight simulators By BRENDAN NAGLE Staff Writer Selkirk College finally got its new installed at single-engine flight simulators this port week, much to the delight of Castlegar campus principal Jim Cromwell. “The - two (old) single simulators have been here for over 10 years, they're getting very old and they were The new ” Cromwell said following a Selkirk College Board meeting last night.

Reservoirs and Okanagan Lake were down below normal levels last summer and there hasn't been enough snow this year to bring the water levels up to their high marks. Hal Coulson, head of the ministry's hydrology section, said the Interior has not experienced a similar situation since 1929 to 1931 — years known to those whose jobs it is to store’ and distribute water as the “drought of the the dry spell by which all others are measured. KINAKIN DROPS OUT OF NDP RACE DOROTHY KINAKIN ‘health problems are four strong choices left in this race and one of them will become the MP for Kootenay-West Revelstoke.” Kinakin said she is confident that the issues and positions she sented in the nomination contest will remain before the other candidates continued on page A2 Job Training and are currently being Selkirk College's flight training centre at the Castlegar Air “They will be (fully operational) by the end of the week,” Cromwell said. simulators pletely computerized and the flight training instructors will spend a few days learning how to operate them. “They're very different from the Cromwell said. old simulators-ate) like dealing with a 10-year-old computer.” Meanwhile, Elizabeth Fleet was continued on page AZ Hay In mid-August 1931, the South East Kelowna Irrigation District, which supplies most of the orchards in East Kelowna, ran dry. This year's bulletin is full of warnings for each of the major river basins in the Interior, pointing to _ lower-than-average snowpacks, al- ready-dry soils, and wells that have to go deeper before reaching water. For the southern Interior, it sums p: “Unless there is a major improve ment in weather patterns, drought conditions are expected.” While there are still three months left in the snow season (from the latest readings taken Feb. 1) to possibly build up the snowpacks, Coulson said his- torically these months do not provide a lot of precipitation.
