(AP) — It seems there is always something bothering undisputed heavyweight champion Mike Tyson. The list includes ex-wife Robin Givens, business disputes, an explosive temiper, and now ex-friend Jose Torres and his unauthorized biography which says the champ enjoyed beating up women. Theonly place Tyson never seems to have problems is in the boxing ring. And that will pose a problem for Carl( The Truth) Williams. Tyson, 23, will pl on the line next Friday night against Williams at the Aulantic City Convention Center. The defence will be Tyson's first since stopping Frank Bruno on Feb. 25 in Las Vegas, raising his record to 36-0 with 32 knockouts. ¢ his undefeated recotd and title’ title date since he dropped a unanimous 15-round decision for the International Boxing Federation crown to Larry Holmes on May 20, 1985. ‘It will be an interesting fight, more interesting than my opponent thinks it is going to be,” said Williams, 22-2 with 17 knockouts. He has won his last five fights since being knocked ‘out by Mike Weaver on Feb. 16, 1986. The 29-year-old last fought on Nov. 10, scoring a third-round knockout over Mike Rouse. Former heavyweight champion Greg Page, who is Tyson’s sparring partner, doesn’t think Williams will last through the second round. **[ had to usea lot of my punches because man, this guy is strong,” Page said. It will also be Tyson’s first fight since the release of Torres’ book, which included a passage that said Tyson once said the best punch he ever threw was at Givens “Normally I would want these things to bother me, but they really don’t,”’ Tyson said last month. Friday’s bout will be Williams’ first heavyweight opponents have Williams said Williams said he has no intention of entering the ring scared the way he says so many of Tyson's other “You could see the fear in his opponents’ eyes,”” “I'm ready for him wearing the confused look, not me."” He'll be the one Guy Lafleur returns to site of junior exploits - STE-FOY, Que. (CP) — Hall of Famer Guy Lafleur, returning from a “pleasant year in exile,"” is back where he started asa hockey player The former Montreal Canadiens great signed a contract Friday with the Quebec Nordiques that will have him in uniform for at least one more year, with a guarantee of another two years in a management capacity with Quebec “‘Iv’s with an enormous amount of pleasure that I return to Quebec,” said Lafleur, 37, considered the best player in the game in the late 1970s when he led Montreal ‘to four consecutive Stanley Cups. “PH be Quebec He starred for the Quebec Rampar- ts, scoring 233 goals in his final two seasons as a junior player, before being selected by the Canadiens as the first pick in the 1971 NHL draft. But Lafleur was not without gratitude for the New York Rangers, who took a chance he could still play finishing my career in four years after his retirement from the Canadiens. “I thank them for giving me the chance to play there,’’ he told a news conference. ‘‘It was a pleasant year in exile in New York, but now I'd like to end my career in Quebec, where it began."’ MADE EXCHANGE The Rangers, for whom Lafleur scored 18 goals last season, gave up their right to match the Nordiques’ contract in exchange for cash and a fourth- or fifth-round draft choice in 1991. Nonetheless, they, too, were grateful to him. “Weare... thankful for all he meant to the Rangers last season,”’ the team said ina statement “Everyone connected with the Rangers wishes Guy the best in this unique situation of not only returning to his native Quebec, but being able to begin a long-term employment oppor tunity with the Nordiques.’ Ironically, Lafleur will rejoin his good friend Michel Bergeron, who will begin his second term as Nordiques coach next season after being fired by the Rangers with two games remaining last season. “1am sure Guy can do for the Nor- diques what he did for the Rangers in terms af leadership,” Bergeron said. Financial terms of the signing weren’t released, but published reports this week said the Nordiques had of- fered Lafleur a three-year deal for $1.2 million and that the Los Angeles Kings had offered more than $1 million for two years. Lafleur stunned the hockey world last season when he came back after four years in retirement and, despite a broken left foot, helped the Rangers into temporary possession of first place in the Patrick Division. They stayed there for much of the season un- til fading to finish third. He made a triumphant return to the Montreal Forum on Feb. 4, scoring two goals, and had three goals against Los Angeles on Feb. 27.

The sun twinkled in the clear water of the pool, moved slowly in patterns of light and shadow across the broad green expanse of lawn below the painted wood deck, danced down the river on its way to Trail and caressed a drowsing Selkirk College onthe high cliffs on the opposite shore. Dr. John Hall, well known physician surgeon in Castlegar, and his wife Ruth were in the final stages of preparation for the year’s tour of duty in Georgetown, Guyana (formerly British Guyana) on the north coast of South America. So we called to wish them Godsend, and incidentally, to get a little information on this latest Hall odyssey. Therefore, while Bunny and Ruth discussed grandchildren (grandchild?), packing and clothes, John perched himself on the railing above his hospital for, besides the funding, the books and the four Canadian doctors, Les Allen, Senior Technician at the Castlegar Hospital, will be going down to set up and calibrate the hospital's x-ray equipment. He has also been invited by the Guyanan government to work on their equipment as well And what will his duties as director involve? He plans, he said, to model the:hospital on the St. Mary's hospital in Papua New Guinea, the Kelowna Pediatric Unit and the Castlegar hospital. He will set up a training program f¢ jis new staff and then. move out into the jungle oe a medical outposts as he did in his previous j06. It is a very depressed country, he said. Six- ty percent of the population is East Indian, about 40per cent is black African, descendents of indentured workers and slaves from the time of the British colonial period. There is a small population of native Indian John Charters Reflections and recollections people. Following the granting of independence, there favorite home-fishing place and against the d of the college, the airport and the mountains with which he has been so deeply involved and savoured the last joys of this sanctuary _ Dr. Hall has the rather unysual philosophy for this present day. He believes that anyone who possesses the skills and opportunity has a responsibility to give his services for a period of his life to the betterment of humanity, This philosophy took him for a two-year session to St. Mary’s hospital in Rabaul, Papua New Guinea, as resident surgeon in 1982-84. We ran a num- ber of his very interesting letters in this column at the time This time he has accepted the position of medical director in a yet-to-be-opened 40-bed , pediatric (childrens) hospital in the desperately poor city of Georgetown, Guyana. As before, he and Ruth will get their passage, room and board — no more. As before, his responsibility is to open and get the hospital functioning. He will be assisted by a staff of 25 nurses (hopefully), two volunteer pediatricians and a surgeon who arrive in October. The operation is funded privately by church mainly from California and Florida, called the Inter- national Gospel Missions. The Jesus Rescue Mission of Guyana is the immediate sponsor. For many years it sponsored an orphanage and this has formed the basis of the new hospital For the past six months Dr. Hall has been pur- chasing and shipping medical equipment, largely fun- ded by CIDA (Canadian International Development Association) to the hospital. These monies are adminis- tered through the Canadian High Commissioner to Guyana who he said ‘‘is delighted to have a Canadian opening the hospital."” He has also been shipping large quantities of books to be used as texts for the hospital’s training program. These have been assembled by the medical and nursing staff of the Castlegar and District Hospital. In brief, there is truly a considerable Canadian presence in this has been political upheaval and the coun- try is still struggling to survive. And knowing you,”’ I observed, ‘You will have some plans of your own."” Again the grin. ‘Georgetown is right on the ocean,” he said,,."‘and I’ve never swum in the Adiantic, and I understand that the fishing is great. Then I'd like to cross the Guyana Shield, it’s an ancient mountain range, similar-to our Canadian Shield, rich in gold and diamonds. I'd get to the Amazon then and make my way down to Devil's Island (a former infamous French penal colony). When I've finished .ny tour of duty I'd like to make some visits elsewhere. I'd like to meet your friend John Munday in Equador and visit Machu Pichu (the Jong hidden ruins of an Inca city high in the Equadorian Andes).”’ So would | His son, Pat, Pat's wife Luba and their small but very active son were also making their last visit and were sporting in the pool, We had a brief tea and made ready toleave. “You've been away,”’ I said, as we started to go. “Six weeks in Stewart, April | to May 15 at the gover- nment hospital. The physicians are recruited by the United Church and they had no one so we went. Took a big chunk out of preparation time but it was a grand ex- perience. Wonderful people, wonderful salmon fishing. Just like South America.”" **And when you get back. What then?”” “Oh, we'll settle in for a while. It’s beautiful here by the river. Anyway, if I didn’t I'd havea revolution on my hands which would make the French version look like a picnic. Getting ready for these expeditions is the most difficult part of them.”” “And you have your book to write,”’ I reminded him. **Besides you promised to help with the history of Castlegar. Ignore that and you have two revolutions.” We parted then on a mutual understanding and he promised to keep us posted. More therefore later in the year. Should be interesting.

You'll find them bakes in the Castlegar Rail Station waiting room — a mini-history lesson of railroading worth a visit Genetic link to . alcohol problems MONTREAL (CP) — Researchers at Concordia University say they have found a genetic key that makes some people more likely to become alcoholic. Zalman Amit, a clinical psycholo- gist who heads the research team, said the work done so far appears to con- firm that the more of a certain enzyme ‘@ person has, the more he or she will drink. ‘Right now I’m talking about prevention,’’ Amit said in a recent in- terview. ‘Any large-scale hope of con- trolling alcoholism will come from primary preyention,”’ “And what better prevention than screeing the population land dealing with the people who are at high risk.’’ Amit stressed that the enzyme alone does not necessarily determine whether someone will be alcoholic. ‘*It is just a higher risk factor. Amit said the researchers assiime that alcoholics drink because they like the high they get. The euphoria is created by an acetaldehyde produced when the body breaks down the alcohol. That's where the level of the special marker, the catalese enzyme, comes in. A person with a low level, even after five drinks, ‘‘just isn’t going to get the same high” as one with a high level who consumes only two. Amit and his colleagues discovered that rats with higher levels of catalese enzyme will drink more alcohol. So far, studies of 140 volunteers indicate the same holds for humahs. The research continues and the team needs more volunteers. SUMMER SAVINGS After all is said and done no one has lower prices! Brand New Brand New 1989 PONTIAC FIREFLY 8,463 Stk.
