Paying compliments where complim

I’ve never been comfortable when
it comes to compliments, and it doesn’t
matter whether I’m on the giving or
the receiving end.

I think it stems from the fact that
some people treat them with little sin-
cerity, kind of an off the cuff thing that
really isn’t a compliment at all.

And then there are the people who
expect one for every little thing they
do, even when it isn’t warranted.

So with that in mind, I’m quite hap-
py to know I’ve done a good job with-
out someone else telling me, whether
they’re sincere or not.

And if someone else has done some-
thing worthwhile, then I'll leave it up
to them to pat themselves on the back
because I don’t really know how they'll
interpret what I'll say.

But things changed last week on
both fronts, when three people who
seem quite happy to go through life
with a “Hi” and “How are ya” in my
presence took time to stop and say
they liked what I had written of late.

Seeing as they were three men who
appear to be pretty serious, I was
quite honored, since I’m always being
kidded that no one reads sports.

And it was soon after that the
chance to pay someone, or rather sev-
eral someones, else a compliment
arose.

Now, I’m pretty sure that the people
in question aren’t doing it for their
share of the spotlight.

But if that was the case, then they

haven't shown it.

The people I’m talking about are
each and everyone. who had some-
thing to do with the annual Jim Young
Celebrity Golf Tournament last week
at our local course.

For space reasons, it isn’t possible
to personally salute everyone who
added their two cents to the cause, but
I can acknowledge them as a group.

First, and foremost, is the tourna-
ment’s namesake himself, Jim Young.
This is a man who is quite happy to
come out to Castlegar each year and
lend his ex-Canadian Football League
mug to the tournament.

Granted, he did put in some time as
the manager at the local Sandman
Inn, but that doesn’t mean there’s an
obligation to the city where he once
earned a paycheque.

It’s quite an honor to see and meet
a man who could honestly put “Mem-
ber of CFL Hall of Fame” on a resume
if he needed a job, yet he doesn’t act
like a person who has earned a per-
manent place in Hamilton.

No, he was just one of the 130 who
went out on a hot Thursday in July to
make some money for a local charity.

And speaking of local charity, there
are the folks from the Red Cross who
have done enough leg work for the
tourney that maybe a Bronze Cross is
in order for both of them.

Led by Harry Grossmith and Gary
Ockenden, they’ve turned the tourna-
ment into one that earns more money

on the
Spot

ents are due

with each passing year.

Sure, some might think they work
so hard because they know the Red
Cross’s bank account will swell annu-
ally, and what’s so wrong with that
kind of work ethic?

But from what I know and have
been told, there’s more motivation to
make sure everyone has a good time
rather than how much can be carted
off to the bank.

Instead of laying all the kudos at
the feet of those two, there are three
others who've done their share of the
work as well.

They were there months before,
getting everything on line to make
sure the tournament was as much a
success this year as it had been the
previous four, and they'll be working
on it months after in the hopes that

the next four, and the next four etc.
will follow that trend. Geez, they even
played in it.

Those three are Alex Birukow, Carl
Henne and Stosh Uchida. If you didn't
know them, chances are they would
have blended right in last Thursday.
No name tags or tournament organiz-
er badge. Nothing that would have led
you to believe they were out there as
anything but golfers.

And then there are the celebrity
types who came out to lend their name
and face to the cause and play a round
of golf.

It is true that some of these guys
are pulling in big bucks in the even
bigger cities, but they haven't forgot-
ten their roots and what it’s like to pay
something back to the people who
watch the games, buy the merchan-
dise and support the team.

And what about the sponsors?
Money’s tight these days, yet Air B.C.,
Celgar, Labatt’s and the Sandman
were out again for the fifth year.

Lastly are the people at the course
who make it worth coming out to.

Looking beyond greens guru Nick
Sherstibitoff and his crew, you have
the pro shop men who were more than
happy to suit everybody up who need-
ed it, and the women in the club house
who made sure everyone was happy
before heading out on one and after
coming in off 18. .

These are compliments I’m quite
comfortable with.

Wimps invade local course Annual memorial tourney set to roll

NEWS STAFF

For now, Dick Braun is the
biggest wimp in Castlegar, but
that doesn’t mean you can go
and kick sand in his face.

Braun was the winner of
the annual Wimp Open at the
Castlegar golf course Sunday,
coming in with a 75, one
stroke better than Aaron
Stoushnow.

Assistant pro Steve John-
ston said the course is tight-
ened up for the tourney, as the
golfers hit from the ladies’ tees
to greens where the hole is
near the front.

“The Wimp Open is pretty
much a short course,” he said.

And though pictures of
weaklings all over the course
may come to mind, Johnston
said the tournament's title is
deceiving.

(ihe News

There's something
for everyone!

“It’s supposed to be short
and easy, but the flags are at
the front on slopes, so it’s not
that easy,” he said.

Johnston said the Wimp is
similar to the Iysnman Open,
where the course is stretched
instead of shortened from the
tournament tees to pin place-
ments at the back of the
greens, but is intended to be
fun more than competitive.

“It’s like the Ironman, but
it’s not as serious,” he said.

Jim Proud took low net
honors with a 59, while Nick
Ogloff shot 63 and George In-
fanti was two back at 65.

Diane McAfee took the
ladies title with a 79, while
Kay Hominiuk was low net
with 71.

Scott Clifford was top junior
with an 85.

Local golfers looking to
have fun and help out a wor-
thy cause at the same time
should mark August 2nd on
their calendars.

On that day, the annual
Dan Markin-Mark Lightle
memorial tournament tees it
up at the local course with all
proceeds going to the Canadi-
an Cancer Society.

The tournament was start-
ed by Lightle in 1990 as a trib-
ute to his friend Markin, who

had passed away from cancer.

Less than a month later,
Lightle died in Calgary, and
his name was added to the
tournament he helped start.

Although the tournament is
for a serious cause, Kay
Markin said that’s all that will
be serious about it.

“We want everybody to
come out and have fun,” she
said.

The tournament raised
some $700 last year, roughly
double that of 1990, but
Markin said everything is still

trial and error.

“We learn something new
every year,” she said, “and
with every year we're trying to
streamline it and make it
more organized.”

Open to “everybody and
anybody,” Markin said she
would like to have all entries
in by the 27th, but said she
would be more than happy to
accommodate any latecomers.

Inquiries can be made by
calling the pro shop at 365-
5006 or organizer Aaron
Stoushnow at 365-7099.
