I’m not going to let him do that.”” Boyd was ranked eighth in the downhill (21st overall) after the 1988- 89 campaign. He won the penultimate downhill of the season at Whistler and was third at Val Gardena, Italy, in December, 1988.

Eskimos maul Hamilton 33-12 By NEIL STEVENS HAMILTON (CP) — If there are any doubters left who believe Edmon- ton should not be favored to win the Grey Cup in November, they should have been at Ivor Wynne Stadium to see the Eskimos take apart the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Friday night The Eskimos, led by elusive quar- terback Tracy Ham who rushed nine times for 150 yards, amassed 392 yards on offence in rolling to a 33-12 CFL victory. An awesome defence, keyed by tackle John Mandarich’s five tackles and end Stewart Hill’s manhandling of Hamilton quarter. backs, yielded but 88 yards This was a mismatch Edmonton, 11-2, the first team to clinch a place in post-season play, widened its first-place margin in the Western Division to eight points over the Calgary Stampeders. And it must be—remembered_the Eskimos were playing the top team in the Eastern Division. The Ticats, licking their wounds, slipped to 8-5. “I don’t care what position we're in (in the standings),’’ said Edmonton head coach Joe Faragalli. ““We want to win every game, that’s all that’s impor- tant.”” Blake Marshall twice scored on one- yard runs and caught a 15-yard Ham pass for a third touchdown, giving him eight TDs on the season. Ham passed to Tom Richards for another TD and Jerry Kauric kicked a field goal, two singles and four conver- ts. Hamilton’s lone touchdown was on a pass from Todd Dillon to Tony Champion. Paul Osbaldiston kicked a field goal and aconvert HAD PROBLEMS “*We just couldn’t move the ball,”” said Hamiton coach Al Bruno, who lifted starting quarterback Mike Kerrigan early inthe third quarter after Hill felled him with a blindside sack.

Byng Giraud and Dick Mcleod, co-supervisors of restoration of the Castlegar Rail Station, check out an inspection car (speeder) recently donated to the station by Don Hillyard of Nelson. Castlegar station history chronicled This is the fourth of a frequently interrupted five column series on the Heritage Society in Castlegar en titled: What is a dream worth? This one takes the Castlegar Rail Station into consideration For 80 years the Castlegar Rail Station sat in the railway wye in North Castlegar and for a half century it occupied an honoured place as the nucleus and centre of town. I wrote one nostalgic piece under the old EGO column in the $0s, then when rumours started in 1979 that the station was to be abandoned, | wrote another under the Reflections and Recollections head. At about the same time, Igor Zahaynacz, the city engineer, initiated negotiations with CP Rail for possession of the station should it be abandoned later After the formation of the Castlegar Heritage Ad visory Committee in 1983, rumors began to solidify into fact-and—a-tong-series-ofdeticare negotiations were initiated between the city, represented by Betty Price, the Committee represented by Dr. Bill Sloan, Alex Lutz and I, and CP Rail officers. It was a difficult task for the company representatives and every credit must be given to Betty’s fine feminine hand, sense of humor and dedicated-effort- forthe amicable manner in which the talks proceeded In the Fall of 1987, city council, to its eternal credit, (and with the fate of the S.$. Minto etched sharply in many memories), agreed to buy and move the building across the tracks to city property. The price for the building was $1. A matching grant of $40,000 was obtained from the British Columbia Heritage Trust and the building moved to its present site on November 4, 1987. One of the major issues of negotiation with the company had been the distance that the building was to be located from the tracks. CP Rail wanted it 100 feet from track centre, the committee was asking for 30. It was finally settled at 50 feet from track centre - a credit to both parties, for it is now difficult for many people to realize that it wasn’t always there In June 1988, the Heritage Advisory Committee was dissolved and the Castlegar and District Heritage Society formed, with a view to greater fteedom of action and breadth of field. It is a recognition of thé fact that for-heritage (and tourism) Lo survive and prosper they must develop both locally as the unique characteristics of the community and regiohally as a cooperative and integrated entity lot of bitter and frequently frustrating bureaucratic water has gone under the bridge since the station was moved, but individual and person! relations on the other hand has been tremendously heartening. Thus the station is once again finding its place as an in. tegral part of the Castlegar Community At last weeks heritage meeting, Byng Giraud, Rail Station Restoration Supervisor, reporting on behalf of himself and co-supervisor, Dick McLeod, gave an ex tensive written report on the stations progress. He began: ““Summer—has—brought-many—changes to. the station,’ guide/restorer Connie Schmidt, hired under a grant from the Community Employment and Program, and Gordie Hill, whose outstanding efforts as a volunteer craftsman for the heritage society goes back to when we started work on Zuckerberg Island.in the spring of 1983 Byng noted that the new $17,000 roof installed by Wicklum Roofers, as a part of the matching restoration grant by the British Columbia Heritage Trust, has given the Rail Station a high visibility. It also facilitated the in stallation of the ceiling insulation so essential to the reduction of heat loss in the old building With the new “CASTLEGAR” sign built and donated by Gordie and the new ‘MUSEUM OPEN MON-SAT" sign, the building is rapidly coming back into its own as. acommunity attraction, he said Another major step came in July when a 17-man and-woman team of society executives, Art Council members, Selkirk weavers, a community service worker and even visitors from California, Lee and Linda Peterman, with the valued donation of plants and shrubs from Grassroots Gardening, spread top soil and did the initial landscaping for the station. A thorough washing of windows and outside walls, again with the assistance of community service, helped considerably then went on to praise the team work of Tourism Inside, the window frames and sills have béen totally sanded and varnished while the baggage room has been stripped of overlay, pipes and wiring to the original walls. This has revealed an old paint scheme of wine and cream. After the necessary filling and cleaning, the walls will be restored to these original colours. When completed the baggage room will look like it once did and provide meeting and display space as well The trainman’s office, where train crews once signed in, has now been opened and converted to a work and equipment room, while upstairs, the Arts Council has established an office and the Selkirk Weavers Guild have set up their looms in which, according to earlier agreement, they are weaving curtains for the upstairs windows. “They are pure, woven cotton,” said Darlene Mc Dowell,’’ and should last for 40-50 years.” John Charters Reflections and recollections Challenge 89 student Eileen Milne, under the direc- tion of prchivist Bunny Charters, used part of the waiting room during the summer as her office where she registered and catalogued the museum artifacts. At the same time, office manager/guide Shirley Giles, hired under a grant from the Community Employment and Tourism Program, utilized the other half of the waiting room to perform the society’s office/receptionist duties. The archivists office, eliminated downstairs, is now relocated upstairs in a former bedroom In order to function as a museum, and be eligible for grants, the station must have an aquisition poljcy at once. The president, therefore, directed Bunny Char ters together with Dr. Roy Ward, Katrina Ward, Byng Giraud and myself to form a committee and prepare such a policy for presentation at the next meeting, The supervisors expect that much of the fall and winter will be taken up with restoring the baggage room, and the spring with display cases for summer exhibitions if skilled help can be found Outside the building some antique rail has already been delivered with more to make up 300 feet of track Two pieces of rolling equipment - an original Fairbanks Morse repair cart bought and donated by Jack Lloyd of Robson and an inspection car (speeder) purchased and donated by Don Hillyard of Nelson - have already arrived and there are hopes of obtained an old fashioned caboose to put on the donated tracks. In fact, the whole project is taking on a sense of timelessness in which the years are ‘‘a watch in the night’ - a good sign In the meanwhile, the society can do with more help; host-guides, manual and skilled workers. If you would like to help and join the Heritage Society call the station and give Shirley your name and your preferen ces The bow was made in England of true wood, of yew wood The wood of English bows. The Song of the Bow Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Yew: The yew is a native British tree (Ltaxces bac cata) and is commonly planted in church yards because, as an evergreen, it is the symbol of immortality. The practice was also encouraged to provide a supply of bow staves from the hard, elastic wood, resulting from the slow growth of this tree, which live to a great age. To devorate the house with yew was held to lead to death in the family. Yew leaves and berries are poisonous.

I believe that we all will meet again i that time. How, what, when, in. what form, are all fairly minor issues. The fact is that we have the promise of God as shown in Jesus Christ and his resurrection, When that promise is brought to its fruition, even terms like au revoir’’ will be unnecessary But for this life: to our friends and supporters, ‘au revoir Lil we meet again, and God's many blessings be with you always Shoe choices complex By MARLENE HABIB The Canadian Press Choosing the right sports shoe is no longer just a matter of wanting to runa race or play a game comfortably and without injury For years, manufacturers have been producing specific shoes for a range of activities, from aerobics and basket ball to jogging, tennis and squash These days, they're producing footwear that purports to help athletes run faster and jump higher and far ther Ata recent international shoe fair in Munich, for example, Reebok Inter national unveiled what it has called a revolutionary concept for sports shoes for the 1990s, The new shoe, available on the market later this year, is called “the pump”’ mechanism. The wearer will be able to inflate the shoe using a pump on the tongue of the shoe, making it fit around the foot perfectly, Reebok says. Before removing the shoe, the wearer must release the air using a special valve on the heel Selling for $170 US, the pump will be introduced as a basketball shoe, representing “the peak of performan because of a special new ce in not only basketball but also in fashion,’’ the manufacturer says. CHASE ILLUSION But some experts say those in search of a miracle sports shoe may be chasing an illusion “Unfortunately, too many people buy into the innovations thinking, Wow, if they're innovations, they must improve my performance," says Jamie Hamilton, a part-time pole vaulting coach at the University of Toronto who at one point left coaching temporarily to sell athletic shoes “But they have to think beyond the so-called revolutionary concepts and say, ‘What are my needs and what am I into this sport or activity for Hamilton, 36, who has a degree in health education, said he was recruited by the shoe industry in 1986 for his ex pertise. “Thad done a fair bit of studying in to helping people choose the right athletic shoe, but after eight months, | left (the shoe industry) disillusioned, he says “Some of these so-called in novations are good for some people, if it’s a shoe that fits and is. comfortable and does what it’s supposed to do. But with shoe companies changing their shoes every 18 months, you have to be even more of an informed consumer NEW DEVELOPMENTS Most of the developments in the technology of running shoes have come in the areas of cushioning protection against the impact of the foot with the road; and stability prevention of exaggerated sideways movements of the foot that can lead to injury, says a recent article in New Scientist magazine In recent years, researehers at Har vard University found that: it was possible to “*tune’’ an indoor running track by making it slightly elastic, the article says. This helped athletes run three-per-cent faster than on conven tional tracks Those findings prompted manufac turers to come out with slightly elastic running shoes that supposedly return that is, when a runner pushes his feet into the ground, the ground returns the energy to him in the form of increased motion energy to runners — But most people who buy running shoes run to keep fit, not to break records, says Peter Cavanagh of Penn State University, author of The Run- ning Shoe Book KOOTENAY.
