Castlégar News March 6, 1988 Weather cancels race By GARY KINGSTON Canadian Press WHISTLER, B.C. (CP) — Mother Nature showed its ugly side again Saturday as the weather-ravaged World Cup Ski circuit was forced to postpone another race. The Molson downhill at Whistler Mountain was pushed back to today after fog and then gusting winds caused the race jury to call off Saturday's race. The jury twice delayed the start, eventually pushing it back four hours. But just when the fog that hung like an unwelcome house guest in the middle sections of the course finally lifted, 80-kilometre-an-hour winds swept through some sections of the 3,726-metre course. “The wind did pick up and it would have meant that some guys would be skiing with big gusts behind them and that could have made a difference in the results,” said Canadian coach Glen Wurtele. “Everybody wants a fair race and so we decided to go for tomorrow.” The fog and wind were the main culprits, but a steady, light snowfall also blanketed the bottom section of the course. The weather conditions looked more favorable for today. “The storm's moving through much quicker,” said chief of race Bill McNeney. “And there's nothing behind it, so that's good.” PLAGUED BY WEATHER Weather has been the story of the World Cup season to date. Only one of seven downhills — the first of the season at Val D'Isere, France — went off on the date and place scheduled. Since Christmas, the schedule has been chaotic as officials traversed Europe looking for mountains with enough snow to ski on. While the skiers have been riding the “hurry up and wait” treadmill all season, Saturday's cancellation after a long hold didn’t sit well with some. Rob Boyd of Whistler. stomped angrily through the finish area, brushing past reporters with a “catch me tomorrow.” Peter Mueller, the Swiss veteran who always skis well at Whistler, said he couldn't understand why the jury waited “It's a hard time for the skiers,” said Mueller. “You must go to warm-up, to skiing, to make gymnastics, to make concentration every time. That's really hard. “I don't know why they wait so long.” HELP SKIERS The one-day postponement, however, may help both Boyd and Mueller, who drew the second and third starting positions -unfavorable start numbers on a course covered with fresh snow. “It would be very bad for the first 10 racers. It was not possible to win, to make good time,” said Mueller, who will get a new start number today. Earlier in the week, fog restricted the racers to just two training runs. The youthful Canadian team had been at Whistler training the previous week and the extra work showed as they posted several top-15 training times. Unheralded Don Stevens of Rossland, B.C., who had been left of Canada’s four-man Olympic team after struggling much of the season, had the fastest training time Thursday and was second-fastest Friday when a morning snowfall gave a huge advantage to back-of-the-pack skiers. Felix Belezyk, the 26-year-old veteran of the national team who moved into the firstseed with two top-five finishes at Leukerbad, Switzerland, in late January, continued his hot skiing. He was second to Stevens on Thursday and ninth on Friday Pirmin Zurbriggen of Switzerland, the Olympic gold medallist in the downhill and the runaway leader of the World Cup downhill standings, was seventh and 55th in the two training runs.

Following a letter to the city from CP Rail indicating firm plans to abandon the station, the advisory committee to which it had been referred in August, 1986, then made an extensive investigation and research on the matter and sent a confidential report to council stating that in its opinion, since the station was the oldest public building in Castlegar, it was a valuable heritage building. The committte informed council that “this committee will proceed as expeditiously as possible in working toward the retention and restoration of this building which has played such a major role in the history of our community.” On Sept. 18, 1986 the committee met with repre- sentatives of CP Rail, the chamber of commerce, the city and the D. n Busi A iation and Ross; Trail MLA Chris D'Arcy, and on the 19th with Kootenay West MP Bob Brisco. The advisory committee then formed a station buiding sub-committee with Alex Lutz as chairman, and Gordon Hill, Gerry Rempel, Verna Keraiff, Betty Price, Nancy ‘Felde and myself (committee chairman) as ex-officio member. Matters continued to accelerate with the new year and numerous meetings were held with CP Rail representatives, and various interested parties. Don Tarasoff, an ex-Castlegar resident now with the B.C. Heritage Trust, was most helpful. A three-way phone conversation was arranged between city clerk Betty Price, Tarasoff and Douglas Franklin, director of Public, Corporate and Government Relations for Heritage Canada Foundation in Ottawa. There were letters and meetings with CP Rail officials regarding the legal nicities| of rights-of-way, proximity of track and removal of the building. We were advised that, under existing legislation, CP Rail has the right to demolish the building and that it was most important not to antagonize them in the negotiations procedure, particularly since CP Rail had indicated that it would be moving by about September, 1987. It is worth noting therefore that our relations with the CP Rail officials and staff have been most amicable and supportive, a fact best exemplified when we were permitted to use the station for an open house display during Heritage Week 1987. Staff and crew could not have been more co-operative. This included agreeing to leave the station painted red as it had been done by Sereen Gems, rather than repainting it to the original white. On Feb. 2, 1987 council passed a resolution: “Moved by Ald. Oglow, seconded by Ald. Rogers — that council approve the relocation of the Castlegar train station to the location shown on City of Castlegar drawing HAC-87-1, dated 87-02-06.” On March 24, 1987, council drafted a bylaw designating the Castlegar station building a muncipal heritage building. It was finally adopted on Oct. 13, 1987. On Aug. 6, 1987, we were formally advised that CP Rail would be moving to its new facility between Nov. 1 and 5 and that we would be expected to move the empty building about that time. ~ Discussions were entered into immediately with city administrator Dave Gairns, B.C. Tel, CP Rail and Harry Stan of Castlegar and District Development Board for right-of-way relocations, telephone lines, preparing the building site and building a foundation according to plans prepared by Nancy Felde and the city engineering staff. An application for a grant for exterior building restoration was made to the B.C. Heritage Trust and a $40,000 grant approved by Sept. 2, 1987. Kevin Lagen, city engineering services manager, who had been active in an advisory capacity since the beginning of the year, undertook the details of the project schedule including the moving contract and cost estimates for di: ting and r lishi for the building. Between Nov. 2-4 the building was moved by the Interior Building Movers Company, assisted by city crews and placed on the new concrete foundations. The city then began reconnecting the services. On Feb. 8, 1988, members of the Heritage Advisory Committee and volunteer craftsmen moved into the building to clean up, make minor repairs and secure the locks in preparation for Heritage Week services Births & Funerals merch, 1900 Castlégar News ss BIRTHS BORDYSCHUCK To Pamela and John Bordyschuk of High Level, Alta,, a girl, born Feb. 3.
