A6 Castlegar News August 7, 1991 Inflation continued from page A4 “Why has Canada, apparent- ly, been a high-unemployment country, while Austria, Sweden, Japan and others have experi- enced lower rates of ge q ment?” Trent University pfofes: sor Robert Campbell asked, in a study published last week by the Economic Council of Canada. Campbell suggests these countries were more concerned with making sure their economies worked properly so they could compete on interna- tional markets, “Oddly, inflation has never been a priority policy concern,” Campbell said. Since 1984, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney’s government has attacked governmient spend- ing, tried to restrain inflation and encouraged Canadian mar- kets to work more efficiently with policies like free trade and tax reform.

What should Canada do dif- ferently? “Just about everything,” Peters believes. Peters and McCracken think federal Conservatives gathered this week for their convention in Toronto should consider fresh ideas to’ get more Canadians ‘k to work, “Where are we now: a huge federal deficit, high levels of unemployment, an inflation rate that’s largely about the same as it was a few years back, with unempyment at 10.5 per cent and we have these policies that left us at the bottom of a major r ion and our fi ing industry is in a state of dis- array,” said Peters. “If it isn’t time to look at eco- nomic questions again, I don’t know when the hell it is.” ur- LOTTERIES These are the winning lottery numbers In The Daily : 191399, 808863, : 59616, 62817, : 3262, 9465, 1638 : 933, 923, 125 : 76, 91, 20 : 754174, 305612, ‘CH 5: 77427, 50220, : 0767, 3514, 6334 : 417, 953, 405 19, 65, 25 : 938892, 149449, : 06933, 01758, 11737 MATCH 4: 6626, 0314, 2077 MATCH 3: 895, 992, 272 MATCH 2: 43, 97, 27 Aug. 2 MATCH 6: 066890, 365828, 579116 MATCH 5: 28960, 67011, 68211, MATCH 4: 4539, 9152, 9776 MATCH 3: 021, 175, 363 MATCH 2: 42, 74, 93 These are the official winning lottery numbers provided by the B.C.

Here it goes: Tm going out on a limb right Aquanauts chock up another 8 new records, 26 go to provincial championships By CasNews Staff It’s called winning when it counts. And it’s exactly what the Castlegar Aquanauts did last weekend in the regional champi- ih it the A tic Centre. now to say the C zg Rebels will — at least — win the KIJHL West Division title this season. hon} al When it was all over the River Otters, page B2 A t had d their beat the eighth-place time aver- aged from the last three years of provincial competition. Relay teams had to finish in the top two to qualify, While initially reluctant to single out individual swimmers or performances at the meet, Carew, after prodding, had a long list of swimmers who i d him. Before you start my editor and saying I need a couple more weeks off to get better (though you could do that if you want), listen to my ing. The prediction’s based on a few factors, first and foremost of which came about when the Rebels signed an affilia- tion agreement with the Ver- non Lakers two weeks ago. That event instantly brought ‘a dimension of credi- bility to a team that-has been decidedly zero-dimensional for the last few years. Forget the fact that the Lakers have won the Centen- nial Cup for the past two years. Forget that the organi- zation is considered one of the best in junior hockey. Those are bonuses for the Rebels. What you shouldn’t forget, and what I'm partially basing my prediction on, is Mel Lis, the Lakers’ owner and gener- al manager. sure bet for a profes- sional hockey posting if he wants one, won't accept los- ing. Whether it be hockey teams (farm teams included), fifth overall meet victory of the season, eight new regional records and 26 swimmers who qualified for the provincial championships. “This is when is starts to count the most,” said Aquanauts coach Tom Carew. “And just “Selena Fodor had an amaz- ing 100 freestyle. She’s probably taken around five seconds off (her best time) from the begin- ning of the year. She took off two (seconds) just at this meet,” said Carew. He also mentioned outstand- The Numbers, page B2 ing perfor from young i Brad Kristian, Justin about everybody swam a best time in the meet. “I think it’s important to have really good swims there, which we did, because it sort of sets the tone for provincials.” Doing it when it counts is something Carew’s based the entire season around. - And he’ll be drilling that message into his swimmers one more time when they head to Coquitlam for the provincials Aug.15-18. With 575 points the Aqua- nauts finished two points ahead of rival Nelson Neptunes and close to 100 points ahead of the Trail-Warfield Stingrays. Swimmers had to place in the top three in individual events to qualify for the provincials, or Kanigan and Adam Kristian who were all in on setting new pool records in division 1 boys. In the older group, Aimie Chernoff swam her best time of the year (1:13.31) in the 100- metre butterfly to set a region- als record in that event and Mario Fehrenberg did the same thing in the 100-metre back- stroke. “As far as getting into the medals I think a lot of them (younger swimmers) are going to have to go a lot faster. Usually in the younger divis' fy not quite as strong as clubs form the coast and the Okana- gan. It’s the older divisions where our best chances are for medals.” swim club Alesha C: end during the CasNews photo by Simon Birch just missed qualifying for provinciais last week- the C uatic Centre. With the top three at finishers in each event qualifying Campbell came in fourth in the 100-metre backstroke. players or business, Lis has to have the best, be the best, and he'll make some moves and step on some toes to do it. That's just the kind of no- nonsense approach the Rebels need. No more mollycoddled, spoiled players who have NHL stars in their eyes and egos as big as the strato- sphere. I was in Vernon last year and watched Lis build what was a mediocre hockey team into a championship team with some canny trades and an uncanny knowledge of the game. He definitely knows what he’s doing. And just so you don’t think I pulled this one out of thin air, listen to a man who should know what affiliation with the Lakers means. Eddie Mountain was the general manager of the KIJHL’s Columbia Valley Rockies, who had been affili- ated with the Lakers the past three years. “In three years affiliation with Vernon they won the Centennial Cup twice in three years and we won the Western Canadian champi- onship twice. So we had a pretty good relationship,” said Mountain. But affiliation isn’t the whole story either. Also factored into my pre- diction is the fact that the defending league champion Trail Smoke Eaters have jumped to Junior A and the Rebels’ chief rival, the Nelson Maple Leafs, have lost coach Ted Hargreaves. Both events make the Rebels.look that much better this year. While on the topic, there is one prediction I’m not willing to make, and that’s whether a winning Junior B hockey team will translate into more money in the team’s coffers as a result of increased ticket If it doesn’t, then perhaps the entire exercise is academ- ic. A winning hockey team with no support is still a los- er, And we already know mething Mel Lis won't abide by. ae I in terms fan “it could be another do or die year for the Rebels, an organization that has teet- tered on the brink of folding for the last couple of years. tia ean PROVINCIAL QUALIFIERS Division 1 Girls Michelle Streich - 100 IM, 50 fly, 50 breast, 100 free; Heather Cook - 50 free, 50 back; Sandra Ellis - 50 free, 100 free Division 1 Boys Justin Kanigan - 100 IM, 50 free, 50 fly, 50 back; Adam Kristian - 50 free, 50 fly, 50 breast, 100 free Division 2 Boys Brian Preston - 100 IM, 50 free, 50 Football By GRANT KERR The Canadian Press Canadian football on the West Coast is like a Beach Boys revival tour. It's fun, fun, fun again for the B.C. Lions. The Lions have been retooled in less than a year by manager- coach Bob O'Billovich and are off to a 3-1 start despite playing teams with a combined record of 124. “This is a really spectacular group of guys,” defensive end Stewart Hill said on the week- end. “We have lots of fun togeth- er, we play hard for each other and we all like each other. “When you have a situation like that, it makes it a pleasant experience.” It wasn't an enchanting atmo- sphere in the CFL den of the Lions a year ago. Head coach Larry Kuharich was a raging Lindros TORONTO (CP) - Eric Lin- dros made a big impression Monday at Team Canada's first official Canada Cup workout. The six-foot-five, 228-pound Lindros, who starred with the Ontario Hockey League's Oshawa Generals before being taken first overal the Quebec Nordiq speed and skill that has made him the game's hottest new com- modity. Lindros, the only player in camp without pro experience, said he was nervous but not intimidated while skating with some of the NHL's finest . "You're only good as you think you are,” he said."If you think you can do it, you can.” It comes as a surprise that Lindros, 18, is the biggest Team Canada player.

OBillovich suddenly entered the picture last September when anxious owner Murray Pezim fired Kuharich and Kapp within four days of each other. O'Billovich weeded out mal contents and directed the last- place western team to a respectable 4-3 finish. Now the young Lions have their fastest start since 1987 when they began 4-0 under coach Larry Donovan. “You look at this team and think these guys have charac- ter,” slotback Jay Christensen said. “They play right to the end because they have confidence and believe in themselves.” The Lions have scored 103 of their 149 in the second half or overtime. They have made up huge deficits against Edmonton and Toronto. In their last come- back, they trailed the Arg- onauts 21-3 in the first quarter before winning spectacularly, 52-41 in over- time. “I don't think we're over-achieving at all,” said Christensen."It's a case of play- ing up to your ability. We're having a lot of fun. It's even fun to come to practice.” O"Billovich was cast adrift by former Toronto owner Harry Ornest after the 1989 season. The balding Montanan called “Obie” inherited a potent offence in B.C. with Doug Flutie as quarterback, but was concerned about defence. The Lions added veteran leadership when they signed free-agent Hill during the off- season. O'Billovich also con- vinced former Toronto tackle Jerald Baylis to end his retire- ment and traded for halfback Ken Pettway from Winnipeg. “You come into the season with apprehension about how the team’s going to fit together,” said 16-year kicker Lui Pas- saglia, the CFL's all-time lead- ing scorer. “We've played as a team so far, no matter what the situation. “Most of the time we've béen down early and come back. That shows a lot of true grit.” no patsy at Cup camp too, as Luc Robitaille learned - the hard way. The Los Angeles Kings forward tried to hit Lin- dros in the morning scrimmage, but bounced harmlessly to the ie. “Nice hit, Luc!” Robitaille's teammates on the blue squad shouted. “Way to take the body, :luc!” Later, Lindros took the offen- sive and nailed Robitaille in one corner, sending Robitaille's hel- met spinning to the ice. Forward Vince Damphousse of the Toronto Leafs, who skated on a line with Lindros and Kirk Muller in the morning, was impressed with Lindros's physical “He's not coming here shy,” said. “He was hit- ting the same way he did in Junior, and that's a sign of confi- Head coach Mike Keenan "You have to give (Lindros) credit for coming in and showing the confidence he did,” he said. The most significant point about Lindros's first day was that he showed he's ready to compete, not just stand around mesmerized by players he used to see only on television. ‘T'm not here to have someone earn a spot over me,” he said. “I'm here to win a spot just like anybody else. “I don't care if it's at right wing or centre, or even driving the team bus if that will get me a jersey and the chance to sit on the bench.” Wayne Gretzky, who played on the red team with Lindros, was impressed by the young- ster's poise. "He didn't look out of place at all,” Gretzky said. “He's going to ine.” Lindros’ physical encounters typified the opening day, which featured high-tempo hockey complete with tough hitting. "Nothing dirty, but a lot of clean, physical play,” Gretzky said. “That's the kind of team we've got to have. It was a good start.” Keenan was pleased with the quick pace. “But we'll expect more a week from now,” he added. Notes: Gretzky was on the limp with an in-grown toenail.
