Cayton said negotiations

said from New York.

He said Tyson plans to

Thomas lost his WBC title
a year ago to former Cah-

Thomas, 29, 29-1-1, won his
last two fights,’ both knock-
outs in the seventh round,

Bike race scheduled

in Alberta, British Columbia
and United States.

The first annual race held
in June of 1986 attracted a
team from Vancouver, Kim-
berley and Cranbrook.

Several calls were received

insurance and the possibil-
ities of no insurance at all the
racers did not plan to come
down.

Entries were received
from Lethbridge, Alberta.
The overall winner of last
years race was also the 1984
road champion of British Col
umbia.

Former manager
to stand trial

CALGARY (CP) — The
former ticket for

connection with U.S. dis-

the 1988 Calgary Winter
Olympics has been commit-
ted to stand trial on seven
criminal. charges relating to
distribution of ticket order
forms in the United States.

Jim McGregor, 37, was
committed to trial at the con-
clusion Friday of a five-day
preliminary hearing. No date
has been set, but it's likely to
be held.in the fall, said Crown
prosecutor Bruce Fraser.

About 300 witnesses tes-
tified at the preliminary
hearing. Provincial court
Judge Brian Stevenson
granted a defence request
banning publication of evi
dence.

McGregor was charged
last October with two counts
of fraud, two counts of theft
and one count of mischief.
Additional charges of forgery
and uttering a forged doc
ument were read to him by
Stevenson when the prelim
inary hearing began Monday.

The charges carry a max-
imum sentence of 10 years in
prison.

McGregor has been free on
bail since shortly after the

tial charges were laid in

of ticket
forms for the Olympics next
February.
FINDS PROBLEM

Police discovered that
some order forms distributed
in the U.S. had a different
return address o nthem than
that of the organizing com-
mittee. The address turned
out to be that of a postal box
rented by a company partly
mainly by McGregor.

McGregor was placed on a
leave of absence shortly after
the ticket forms were dis-
tributed last September. The
next day, Olympic officials
said there were irregularities
in the U.S. order forms and
police were called in to in-
vestigate.

The committee said at the
time that McGregor was
fired for breach of his em-
ployment contract and man-
agement practices and the
decision was independent of
the police investigation.

Prior to taking the Olym-
pic job in 1985, McGregor
served as ticket manager for
the 1978 Commonwealth
Games and 1983 World Uni-
versity Games, both in Ed-
monton.

No space
for wheelchair

NANAIMO (CP) — Ross Villmin is being crowded
out of a bowling ionship because
organizers say there is no room for his wheelchair.

Villmin, a resident of this Vancouver Island city, said
he was told he couldn't participate in this weekend's
Vancouver Island five-pin bowling championship to be
held at Nanaimo's Fiesta Lanes.

Villmin was one of five men who. tried out for the
house team at the city's Brechin Lanes. With a minimum
of five members needed for a team, all five were
considered to be on the team.

“Now John Brittain (Brechin’s manager), has eome
and told me I can't participate because there won't be
enough room for the wheelchair,” Villmin said.

Villmin, who has been in a wheelchair for 26 years, is
a regular bowler at Brechin Lanes, which will host the
B.C. championships for the physically disabled later this
year.

The Nanaimo resident thinks it’s his ability, not
disability that is the issue.

“What they're doing here is not sportsmanlike at all
and it's just wrong on principle,” said Villmin. “If it was a
question they didn't feel I was a good enough bowler why
didn’t someone have enough guts to say so to my face.”

But Brittain said Vollmin's bowling ability is not in
question and that the decision to exclude him was the
consensus of the tournament's organizer.

“It never crossed my mind and I know that is not
what the others had in mind when they made the
decision,” Brittain said. “If I even thought for a momefit
anyone was working that way I would simply have pulled
my house out of the tournament.

“I don't operate that way and never will.”

FOOD SOLD
AT NIGHT

* ON STREETS

Editor's note: Following is the conclusion of a letter
from Rishia McDowell, a Castlegar Rotary Exchange
student living in Tokyo.

Feb. 2%

In the library at my school, I found a recipe book.
Japanese cooking printed in English. Here's a recipe for
Yakitori (literally “cooked chicken”).

20 oz chicken, de-boned, cut into bit-sized pieces

% Ib. chicken giblets

2 huge green onions, sliced

1 green pepper, cut into strips.

Place on bamboo skewer, alternating chicken pieces
with cut-up vegetalbes. Place on barbecue (hibachi).
Baste 3 or 4 times with the following marinade:

2 tbsp. sugar

1 ¢. mirin (rice vinegar)

a c. soya sauce

juice of ‘2 lemon

1 tsp. fresh grated ginger

' ‘sprinkle with “Sansho” (Japanese pepper. Substitute
cayenne)

Helpful hint: Soak skewers in water first so they
don’t burn.

At night Tokyo streets are filled with little carts on
wheels from which food is sold and served. Some sell
chestnuts roasted over hot stones. Some sell Ramen
(noodles). And some sell yakitori. The combined aromas
are ‘an experience! Yum.

I moved to my second home here on Feb. 20. My host
father is Dr. Masao Kosaka, a dentist. Mrs. Kosaka is
studying English, in case you get an urge to write. They
have a daughter my age and two older sons. My host
sister, Aki, is a sweet girl. She's a talented musician and
has a wonderful sense of humor. We're fast friends
already.

I've got a huge vacation coming up — from March 10
until April 10. When school begins again, I'll be in Grade
11. Kimiko and I plan to go on a ski trip with the Rotax
group. From April 1-4, I'm traveling with a group of

students from my school to Shikoku — the island
immediately south of Honshu.

I just received a letter from an Australian exchange
student who went home in Janaury. He's homesick for
Tokyo. I think I'll feel that way, too, when it’s time to
leave. I'm having such a wonderful time here. Time is
flying so quickly! _

It's past bedtime. Must get some
afternoon, Canada!

sleep. Good

Rishia

In closing this correspondence and comment column
a recent letter from District Govenor Julian Stephenson
to the Castlegar Rotary Club president is worth quoting.
Gov. Stephenson's district includes the Rotary Club of
Stanger in South Africa where Castlegar Rotary
exchange student John Walton spent the year of 1986.

The letter reads in part:

“] think few Rotarians here would deny that we have
severe problems but, I think, they are problems which
are seldom understood by the outside world and, for
those of us who travel overseas, we know only too well
that the positive side of life here is not portrayed
probably because the negative is considered more
newsworthy and your comments are therefore so in line
with the thinking of so nffiny people in this country who
are desperately anxious to bring about change but who
know that it can only be done in a certain manner unless
we are to replace such injustices as there are at present
With jinjustieés horrifically worse:

“| believe that’ group study ‘exchange’ atid student
exchange programs are as essential as you say and it is
certainly not one way traffic because, not only does our
student give people in other parts of the world a better
appreciation of what goes on here, but also our student
comes back here with a great appreciation of the way of
life elsewhere and this can only be to the benefit of the
future South Africa.”

The letter ends with an invitation to write or visit, an
offer of warm hospitality, a superb rate of exchange and
the assurance that “visitors to this country are as safe as
they are anywhere in the world.”

Campbell (mother of CasNews pub! Campbell)
has just celebrated an importan lay, and is the

Study suggests
Alzheimer link

NEW YORK (AP) — Some
cases of Alzheimer's disease
may follow an immune-sys-
tem attack on the natural
shield that guards the brain
from harmful substances, a
U.S. study suggests.

Researchers who studied
blood of Alzheimer's patients
found:antibodies that attack
the inner lining of blood ves-
sels, part of the “blood-
brain barrier,” said Dr. How-
ard Fillit of Rockefeller Uni-
versity

The finding suggests such
an attack might set the stage
for some cases of Alzheimer's
by weakening the shield and
letting some harmful agent in
the blood escape into the
brain, he said.

“It's a path down which we
can do research,” said Fillit, a
clinical immunologist.
