Super Bowl x PASADENA, CALIF. (AP) — New York ps quarterback Phil Simms stood before 500 rep Tuesday wearing a multicolored shirt strikingly pir cig to the one Jim MeMahon wore in New Orleans last year. That shirt is about as close as this year’s Nationa) Football League Super Bow! has come to last year's Jim MeMahon festival in New Orleans.

Team captain Rick Viens, along with Darcy Martini, Dean Sjodin and Walter Sheloff will be a part of the 13-man squad when they take to the ice in the Beaver Valley Arena at 8:30 p.m. Feb. 28. “It's definitely an honor to be selected to the all-star team, but we're (Rebels) just thinking about ourselves and about our team, we're trying to get going,” Sheloff told the Castlegar News in a recent interview. He added that his selection to the all-star squad came as a “surprise” because “I've been in a bit of a slump lately.” Sjodin admitted that he might find it a problem to work with some of the other members of the all-star team. Asked if there are any players on the team that he would not want to play with, Sjodin replied: “I'm not too sure right now.” Martini said he was glad to make the all-star team because it shows the league considers him to be “one of the top players in the league.” Other players picked to the western division first team include Beaver Valley Nite Hawks goalie Eric Volpatti, Trail defenceman Vince Burroughs, along with forwards Mike Tavaroli and Dan Divito and Martin Jensen of-the‘Rossiand Warriors. Members of the second team include Rossland goalie Mike McNelly, and defenceman Troy DeJong as well as Mike Marshall of Beaver Valley. Trail's Al Paven also made the team.

Surj Rattan It’s Super Bow] day today andi{'m having a real tough time trying‘ to pick a winner, although I am leaning towards the Buffalo Bills. I considered putting my money on the Dallas Cowboys but I decided against it when someone told me their cheerleaders are not as cute as they used to be. After all any football fool knows that if you haven't got hot looking pom pom girls you don’t stand a chance of winning the Super Bowl. And believe me, when it comes to football I'm no fool. I live for that great, long standing, traditional Canadian past ime — watching American football! Yee ha, good old American football, can't get enough of the stuff. As far as I'm concerned, watching anything that even remotely reeks of American football — whether it involved. involves a college team in Mobile, I Alabama or today's Super Bowl match-up between the Cincinnati Bengels and the San Francisco 49's — is like selling a Bic lighter to a man on fire. There's no purpose in doing something that dumb. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate football. The fact of the matter is that I like football and enjoy watching it — but only if it’s Canadian football. played in Cana dian football. League, ball. Canadian football is something that I can relate to because it’s played here in Canada. Granted it’s played mostly by Americans, but that doesn't matter as long as it's When I'm sitting in front of my TV sound asleep because John Mc- Eachie happens to be attempting to read the sports, I actually wake up when he starts talking about Cana- But as far as Yank football goes, I have absolutely no interest in it whatsoever. I couldn't care less who is going to win today’s Super Bowl between the Seattle Seahawks and the Oakland Raiders. I watch the National even though it may be dominated by American because there are Canadian teams |, love major even though there are only two Canadian teams involved. Canadians are always complain- ing about how the United States dominates north of the 49th parellet all the time. But at the same time Canadians have no problem sitting down and keeping their eyes glued to an American television statign for 3'/ hours just to watch Yank foot- While a lot of Canadians will be watching the Washington Redkins take on the New England Patriots in today's Super Bowl, I'll be content with cracking open a dozen cool ones and watching the Western Gardner. It is beyond me why some Can- adians insist on making such a big deal over Yank football. “The rules are a lot better in the NFL. The CFL is a bush outfit!” are the usual responses Canadians give for watching Yank football. Rules shmules! Yank football is Yank football and it should be yanked right off the Canadian air waves, beginning with today's Super Bowl game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Los Angeles Rams. However, it's not only some members of the Canadian public who seem to be infatuated with Yank football. All of Yank football's glitz and glamor seems to have dazzled the Canadian media as well. For instance, I was having a conversation over the plone with a friend of mine who is the sports dir- ector of a radio station in Quesnel when he says: “So Rattan, I'm put- ting my money on the New York Jets in this year's Super Bowl. I guess you'll place your bucks on those good-for-nothing: Denver Broncos.” Needless to say I was rather amazed. This guy has been the sports director of this radio station for about three years, and he’s a major NFL fan. At the same time he didn’t even know that it’s the Miami Dolphins and Cleveland Browns vying for today’s Super Bowl. Even a football fool like me knows which teams are playing in the Super Bowl.

December 29, 1986 In three days it will be next year. There have been times when I thought we'd never make it. Some of us didn't — like our Arabian mare who passed away this morning. She is the mother of six-month-old Star. We're burying her down near the river. Dave and Sharon Okum and their four small children arrived late in the evening of Dec. 9. Their Eastern Airlines flight broke down in Miami so they switched planes to Ecuatoriana and miraculously made it. Ecuatoriana broke down in Guayaquil, so they again switched toa smaller national airlines and made that, too. It was an eventful journey from Canada to here, but they managed to arrive the same day and the children behaved amazingly well. Even their luggage stayed with them, and the rush between planes proved a blessing as customs had no time to check their baggage; they were simply wafted on to each sutceeding plane. Eighteen- year-old Cindy, a Canadian friend, came with them for a six-week stay here. She was a tremendous help on the flight down. All our misgivings — theirs and mine — about settling in and adjusting to life with us on the Line of the Equator have disappeared into nothingness. I couldn't have hoped for more congenial or appropriate co- warkers. Beth D: id Sharon feel and at home: here; it's as though they’ve always been with us. We share the same ideals, the same goals and aspirations, and while there is still too much for us all to do, a great weight has been lifted from my shoulder just knowing that I am not alone anymore. All the kids here — young and older — love them, and while their Spanish is still very limited, their effectiveness is not. Justin, at 14 months, is the next best thing to a Christmas angel in looks and in disposition. Jeffrey is a miniature Tom Sawyer and is four years old. Kathy is seven, a voracious reader, and is entering Grade 2 at the Alliance Academy in Quito in January. Nathan, almost nine, is a good-looking boy like his brothers and sister, but brain damage at birth has left him in a world all his own. He walks fairly well, but wherf not playing in his room needs constant supervision.-A hockey helmet with face grill acts as a deterrent when he’s out-of-doors; otherwise he'd devour half the garden, for like a pre-tuned robot he puts everything he can touch or reach into his mouth\But Nathan will act as a valuable bridge reaching out to so many other special people and their families who so desperately need the help and under- standing and love which Nathan has received and continues to receive from his special parents. Shortly after the Okums arrived I, Was confronted with another of the many decisions that have to be made almost daily in this kind of work. The Juvenile Court had retarded and a bed-wetter. With 40 already house to overflowing and over 30 of them teenagers, and with my strength — physical, emotional and financial — at an all-time low, T was tempted to turn him away to “wait until we had room.” I'd already written the Sunday School Christmas drama entitled, “Christmas 1986” or, “Jesus Christ is Lord! He is King!” based on the verse “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” (Matthew 26:40) It was a struggle between my head and my. heart. Why take on an added burden when the load already seemed too heavy and we'd all been praying that the Lord would send sufficient resources to pay the employees and to buy the needed groceries. Then Dave walked in with Justin in his arms. The new boy (another “Wilson”) looked up, smiled and showed through gestures that he “He seems like a good boy!” That night we put a new bed in Christian's room. Christian is from the same mountain town and knew Wilson as a poor boy who lived in the street and He wanted Wilson to be his roommate (along with blind Cesar and blind Luis). Wilson had & hot shower, clean “Leslie Mitchell passes away passed ] vcroany, Jan 22 at the age zee fH sfife £ until his retirement in 1968.

After a forced stay-over in Miami, Victor arrived in Quito in the evening of Dec. 20. We hung posters reading “Welcome Home, Victor” in Spanish ‘arid English, and even put up the Ecuadorian and Quito flags. A big banner welcomed him at the airport and about 50 friends and family and foster brothers. He's had six months of mind- and soul- and spirit-stretching and has matured considerably. In a month he hopes to return to the States for an intensive course in English and a possible scholarship to a Christian university. He'd like to study medicine — he has both the inclination and capacity — and eventually return to work on'the staff of our “Centro Cristiano Diospaj Han.” I forgot to mention one interesting detail that confirmed my decision to accept 16-year-old Wilson. I'd no sooner said “yes!” when I was called outside to meet a young man Id never seen before. He opened the back of | . his.caz. and presented me with.a load of groceries almost identical to those we purchase when we have the money! Our own blind “Angel” came home after three weeks in Vozandes hospital and a bill to match. Although his case was diagnosed as tuberculosis of the stomach, he is at last showing signs of improvement. It’s meant bushels of pills and daily injections and lots of bed rest, but he’s getting there. He was also baptized along with a dozen other young believers. This year, despite Satanic attacks and problems galore, 36 have been baptized and “added to the church.” Most are going’ on well for the Lord. Christmas Eve we had a special program in the chapel, and a few refreshments, and on Wednesday, New Year's Eve, expect to see the chapen again filled, or at least partially, with those who form this “local church.” Largely through Dave and Sharon's Canadian influence, we had our big Christmas dinner, not at midnight on Christmas Eve, but at 1 p.m. Christmas Day. They cooked our two donated turkeys, prepared the most exquisite stuffing made from a wide variety of herbs Dave found on the Ecuadorian market, plus dried Ecuadorian bread, and came up with a feast fit for our brand new dining room, a gift from the Canadian Embassy. Continued next week Ministers greet newcomer By Pastor MORLEY SOLTYS The Castlegar minister's monthly meeting scheduled for Jan. 13 was postponed to Jan. 20 due to the promo- tional film being previewed in Trail. The film, entitled Cry From The Mountain, will be shown Feb. 14-20 at the Royal Theatre. Six ministers met Jan. 20 at Grace Presbyterian Church. The devotion, given by Pastor Jim Ferrier, was from Romans 12:3-7 on gifts of the spirit. Recognizing the gifts in each other and letting others know that they have some or certain gifts of which they may not be aware, is a task for both the church and the pastor. More was said on this topic of gifts which led to an open discussion.
