Vikings do well in Cranbrook Castlegar Vikings have re- turned from a successful Kootenay Soccer League weekend trip to Cranbrook. In the league opener on Saturday“evening, the Vik ings held the soccer power house Cranbrook Rovers to a 1-1 tie but could not come away with the victory. The Rovers scored the equalizer with only 10 minutes remain. ing in the game. Chris Coburn opened the scoring for the Vikings on the 20 minute mark after linking up with Joe Antignani and gave the advancing Rovers goalie no chance with a well- placed shot to the far corner. The Vikings i to pressure the Rovers in the first half and came very close to scoring on two occasions from corner kieks. After absorbing some sus- tained pressure in the second half, Vikings keeper, Kaare Asheim, after making one of his many fine saves, had the ball rebound to a Rovers forward who scrambled it over the goal line for the equalizer. In the final 10 minutes both teams pressed hard for the winner but the game ended in a tie.

Forest Service has been battling forest fires since it was established in 1912. In more than 70 years it has developed a formula for successful fire-fighting: find it fast,hit it hard and go where the need is greatest. With the forest fire season now upon us,, the following outlines just how the Forest Service in Castlegar and around the province tackles a blaze. . . 8 The Ministry of Forests aims to bring every forest fire under control within 24 hours of its discovery, and it manages to accomplish that objective in 86 pér cent of all wildfires. The secret of its success is fast initial attack — controll ing the fire before it can spread. This is the most effective and practical means of reducing costs and damage. All wildfires in British Columbia, regardless of cause, are subject to immediate and vigorous action by initial attack crews. These may be conventional ground forces or they may be helicopter-borne — helitack or rapattack teams sent in to keep the flames from spreading until ground crews can reach the scene. About 450 persons are trained for conventional initial attack, formed into crews of between three and 20 members, and stationed around the province during forest fire season. In addition, the ministry car-eall on more than 700 fire wardens and 900 forest fire prevention officers, as well as experienced ‘forest industry crews, local residents and others. Helitack crews are sent into fire sites which are difficult to reach by ground transport. Specially-trained rapattack teams can get right into the danger area by rappelling down ropes from a hovering helicopter. The Forest Service rapattack force, based at Salmon i A Arm, is available for use anywhere in the p ACHIEVEMENT AWARD .. . Blueberry Creek Brownies Carrie Denneus (left) and Kim Lewis receive Golden Hand award from Guider Joan Denneus. Girls were honored May | with their wings at official fly-up ceremony held at Kinnaird Hall and will move up to become Girl Guides. Ceremony brought to a close another industrious year for the Brownies ws sll leading the inside, contract rappel squad is stationed at Revelstoke. Helicopters also may be fitted with tanks or carry a “monsoon bucket” for dumping fire retardant or water onto hot spots. However, the greatest strength of the airborne attack is provded by a fleet of 15 fixed-wing air tankers, stationed at seven bases — including Castlegar — used to drop large quantities of retardant right where it's needed. Nine birddog planes direct the tankers to their targets. Other aircraft may be called up if it becomes necessary. The long-term retardant is dropped as a liquid but remains effective after it dries. Thus it can be applied dir ectly to the blaze to reduce its intensity, or in the path of the fire to slow its advance and gain time for initial attack crews to reach the scene. Despite the high success rate of the fast response strategy, every summer has its share of big wildfires — “project fires” they are called. When fires burn for extended periods, or where the work load is heavy, the ministry sets up a special project fire organization to provide support services — running the camp, safety and first aid, transport, timekeeping, com- munications, equipment supply, heliports, etc. In addition, an “overhead team” may be called up. This is a group of highly experienced personnel, headed by a veteran fire boss, sent in to organize and direct the front line troops. Earth and water become major weapons. Shovels and muscle-power help the bulldozers construct a control line to halt the fire's advance. This is a trench, dug or scraped down to mineral soil: The control line is cut across the path of the fire, follow ing breaks in topography and incorporating natural barriers such as streams or lakes. Then the area between the control line and the leading edge of the fire is burned off. Service held for Mike Strelaeff Mike M.

Guerrillas face 190 charges BELFAST (AP) — The biggest trial of anti-British guerrilla suspects in North- ern Ireland opened Tuesday with 41 defendants facing 190 charges on the word of an Irish Republican Army in. former. The 38 men and three women from Londonderry were arrested after Ray mond Gilmour, a 23-year-old member of the Irish Repub lican Army, turned informer in August 1982. Outside Belfast Crown Court, protestors waved pla. cards saying “stop the show trials,” and denouncing Gil mour. Inside the heavily guarded courthouse, one of the defen dants, James Dougherty, 34, refused to enter a plea. He is accused of murdering a Brit- ish soldier and an inspector in the Royal Ulster Constab- ulary. “I don't believe I will re- ceive any justice in this so- called show trial,” he shout- ed. “I believe I have already been found guilty.” The charges against the defendants range from mur der, attempted murder and possessing guns and bombs to helping illegal organiza. tions. The trial is expected to last about eight months with Gilmour spending several weeks testifying. LEAD TO ARRESTS Gilmour's talks with the security authorities led to more than 70 arrests in Lon- donderry, second city of Northern Ireland and a stronghold of the Republican cause. His father, Patrick, was seized and held by the IRA for 10 months in an un. successful attempt to force the informer to withdraw his evidence. Gilmour was granted im munity from prosecution in return for his collaboration. The outlawed IRA is fight. ing a guerrilla war to sever Britain from Northern Ire- land and merge the two thirds Protestant province into the 90-per-cent Roman Catholic republic of Ireland. Also today, three IRA gunmen killed a part-time British army soldier at the hospital where he worked. A police spokesman said three gunmen approached the soldier, a part-time mem ber of the locally recruited Ulster Defence Regiment, at Drumglass hospital in Dung. annon, 50 kilometres west of Belfast. The men opened fire, then escaped in a car. James Johnson, reported to be in his 20s, worked as a porter at the hospital, said the spokesman. The IRA claimed respon sibility for the shooting in a statement released to re porters in Belfast. The soldier was the fourth member of the Ulster De- fence Regiment to be killed this year. His death brought to 2,365 the number of people killed in nearly 15 years of Northern Ireland's sectarian bloodshed.
