“Can you imagine a kid from the south side of Chicago,
raised under the EL (elevated railroad), invited to the White
House?” Rawls asked, his velvet voice barely audible above
the din in a makeshift gym at a Strip hotel.

“For that kid to walk into the Oval Office . . . it's beyond
your wildest dreams.”

Rawls, 49, was invited to the White House by U.S.
President Ronald Reagan in December to receive a
presidential commendation for telethons that have raised
$25 million for 42 black colleges through the United Negro
College Fund. The record $11 million raised in December's
telethon means another year of college for 45,000 to 50,000

2 the years. He says he feels a certain duty “because this is the

greatest country in the world.”

His big dream came in 1959 when he performed at a
Hollywood Bowl show produced by Dick Clark. Capitol
Records saw him, signed him and thus began a recording
career that has produced one platinum album, six gold
albums, a gold single and three Grammys.

His range — rhythm and blues, pop, soul, jazz —
prompts Rawls to classify himself a “fusion singer.”

He's done some 50 albums, several television shows and
is studying acting. His current single, Forever, I do, is being
promoted by Bride's Magazine. Rawls will sing at the
wedding of the winner of a national contest sponsored by the
magazine.

A boxing fan, Rawls winced and lost his train of thought
as good friend Holmes took a hard right from a stocky
sparring partner. Rawls talked of his friendship with other
boxing greats, including Sugar Ray Leonard, Sugar Ray
Robinson and neighbor Muhammad Ali.

Kristiansen: life after election

By CHERYL CALDERBANK
Staff Writer

Former Kootenay West MP Lyle Kristiansen has
been areriecing a new-found freedom since his loss to
Bob Brisco in last September's federal election.

Kristiansen, who moved back to Nelson at the end of
1984 says it's “kind of nice not having to be back and forth
across the country” and having time for his family.

After his defeat, Kristiansen said he had to settle his
financial affairs and put his house up for sale in Ottawa
before coming here. As well, his son Colin wanted to play
out his football season in Ottawa. Daughter Haida came
back in September to go to school here, while son Eric is
attending Simon Fraser University.

Kristiansen is philosophical about his loss to Brisco.
He said he never really went through a period. of
depression after the defeat.

“I've been involved in political:life long enough — you

simply roll with the punches,” he said.

As well, Kristiansen felt it wasn't a personal loss. “I
feel I did my best and accomplished some of the things I
wanted to see have done,” he added. “I don't feel any
sense of ‘i

In fact, Kristiansen said he doesn’t feel he did lose.

“It was the other guy who won,” he said. “I don’t feel
much more could have been dane in terms of the political
organization. That's how the cookie happens to crumble.

“I have no negative feelings at all,” he added, noting
that he simply has to make the best of the situation.
iansen has been spending his time fixing up his
house in Nelson. He says he hasn't begun looking for a job

... more freedom

actively, noting that his seniority and job security was at
the Kootenay Forest Products sawmill in Nelson which

permanently shut down.

&

But Kristiansen says he doesn't feel at allieoncerned

about not having a job.

“At the moment, I have severance pay from two
sources — the House of Commons and Kootenay Forest

Products,” he says.

In addition, Kristiansen will get his pension
contributions back that he made during his four-year
stint as an MP.

“It has been good (not having to work),” Kristiansen
says, “because there's always the transition between one
kind of life and getting back to normal. It's nice to have
the breathing space.” ji

Kristiansen adds that one of his reasons for getting
back into the industry in the next few months is to once
again become directly involved in the labor movement.

In addition, he says one of thenicest things about
being back is being part of the community again.

“When you're an MP you are still part of the
community in a sense, but you are always away from it,”
Kristiansen explains. “You don't get involved in the
community in Ottawa.”

But he is taking a break from political activity.
Besides attending some NDP meetings, he said he is
“kind of minimizing involvement until at least summer.”

The former MP recently attended an executive
meeting of the federal NDP association. He attended the
Rossland-Trail NDP annual meeting and was at a regional
NDP conference in Creston last weekend.

“In terms of activity, in whatever priority it happens
to be, am looking at the provincial election,” Kristiansen
said. Though he was not talking about running as a
candidate himself, he said he will certainly be involved in
the campaign.

“B.C. is in such a terrible state that everybody who
has any interest should be getting involved,” Kristiansen
said

VANCOUVER (CP) — The

legal affairs of former Van.

who has temporarily with
drawn from practising law in
the province.

David Tupper, law society
disciplinary chairman, con-
firmed Friday that an invest-
igation is going on, but
refused to discuss the nature
of the investigation or to say
whether a complaint has
been made against Volrich.

Tupper said Volrich's with
drawal from practice was a
“mutual agreement between
the law society and himself.”

Volrich, 56, said he has
gone through a very difficult
period “and I want to take

TO REBUILD HERDS

Caribou transplant to thevuU.S.

DONNERS FERRY, Id.
aho (CP) — The best way to
rebuild the only herd of
caribou in the lower 48 states
would be to move animals
from a thriving British Col
umbia herd, the United Sta
tes Forest Service says.

The new American herd, in
turn, would be used to
rebuild caribou in other areas
of the U.S., the service said
in an environmental assess
ment.

Three dozen caribou would
be captured near Revelstoke,

B.C., 200 kilometres north of
the U.S.-Canadian, the agen
cy said.

The relocation might start
this fall, at a cost of between
$300,000 and $462,000 (U.S.).

About 12 animals a year
for three years would be
moved to Idaho and Wash
ington, where they would
join a herd of about 30
"The Canadian herd is in
creasing in population and is
being hunted, the environ
mental assessment states.

“The probability of success

of a properly conducted pro
gram is believed to be high,
based on experience from
more than 30 caribou-rein
deer relocation attempts in
North America and Euope,”
the scientists said.

Caribou were once plen
tiful across the northern
states, but as a result of
heavy hunting they disap
peared from New England by
1908 and from the Great
Lakes region by 1940.

Officials have not decided
how the animals should be
released into their new en
vironment. Results of a Car.
ibou relocation within B.C.
this winter are not yet clear.

The proposed relocation to
the U.S. is a joint effort
between the U.S. Forest
Service, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, the B.C.
ministries of Environment
and Forests, the Idaho Fish
and Game Department and
the Washington Game De
