The intent of the project is to capture the history of the internment years (1941-1945). to what Ji par But Barkley says that the replica is quite modern Ci jians lived in when they were interned in the Slocan Valley during World War I. He adds that the village doesn't want the replica to end up as a tourist attraction, but wants the building to be a historical centre where people interested in the Canadians. Cabin will also serve os a tourist intor- mation booth. Costtews Photo Japanese internment years “could come and review it and see what is here.” The village decided it would also include a tourist information area along with the historical centre According to Barkley, between 5,000 and 6,000 Japanese Canadians lived between Lemon Creek and Slocan during the World War II with as many as 10 people living in one cabin. There are just two senior citizens left in the village who spent time in the camps. Barkley says some of the children of people who lived in the internment camp have visited the village “They come by and want to know where their parents lived,” he says. The village has sent a letter to the Association of Japanese Canadians asking for input The village is also looking for help from people who lived at the camps in the Slocan Valley and is hoping the community will donate items to the historical project. The historical information centre is being built with village funding and through a MILAP (Modified Industrial Labor Adjustment Program) grant. Three people are employed for 13 weeks under the grant. The village has also applied for funds from the provincial Ministry of Tourism to hire someone to run the centre in the summer. Barkley said it is hoped that the building will be functioning as a tourist booth by July 1.

Weekly Stocks TORONTO (CP) — The Toronto Stock Exchange kept bopping along this week, with the index up three points or about one per cent — but that was not nearly as robust as the 60- point gain the New York market recorded. In New York the Dow Jones industrial average rose 60 points to close at 1,823, its best weekly performance sinee a 92.91-point advance in mid-Mareh. The Toronto Stock Ex- change’s composite 300 index climbed eight points Friday to close at 3,047, an increase of just three points in a week which began with three days of declines. John Ing of Maison Place- ments called it a fluid week in which a hodgepodge of fac- tors provided mixed signals to the market. In the United States, an explosion in the money sup- ply brought the possibility of higher interest rates while in Canada the possibility of slightly lower interest rates was blunted by “the Ameri cans pointing fingers at us over the dollar,” Ing said. He predicted that the mar. ket will continue to dither for a while longer before it rallies in the summer.

KELOWNA (CP) — Ver satile Jan Carinci is making a favorable early impression at the Canadian Football training camp of the Grey Cup champion British Columbia Lions. With the camp only three days old, Carinci has shown why he was an integral part of the fqur-player swap that brought him to the Lions from Toronto Argonauts in February. Although the six-year CFL veteran is listed on the depth chart as a slotback, there aren't many positions on the field he hasn't played. In the team's first practice, Carinci was catching passes as an inside receiver, then holding for field goals. Head coach Don Matthews is quite capable of spotting the ball for Lui Passaglia during field goals and extra points. Holding for kickers is only one of Carinci's many di- mensions. During his five seasons with the Argos, he played running back, tail back, slotback, defensive back, held for extra points, served as a backup punter and placement kicker and led Toronto in punt every five years. Carinci began last season as a rover in the Argo sec ondary, then was switched to slotback for the second half of the season, catching 19 pass es for 148 yards and one touchdown. The Lions gave up two quality players, defensive end Nick Hebeler and cor- nerback Kerry Parker, for Carinei and defensive end Walter Ballard. A Toronto native who returns broke into the CFL with the Argos, Carinci admits he was shocked when he first learn. ed of the trade. “I -was disappointed in itially,” he said. “You grow up in a city, you play for five years there and you start to get pretty comfortable.” He said the B.C. and Argos’ training camps are like “night and day “You're treated more like men here,” he said. “It’s up to you to motivate yourself and learn plays “Here they realize we can take some of the responsibil ity on ourselves. In Toronto they tend to regiment you too much.” Carinci, battling nine-year pro Ren Robinson at the right slotback, said his goal is to win a starting position, but he's prepared to do anything it takes to contribute disciplined. Only in the first half of the second period did their discipline break down and then it was only briefly. As they have done so often in the playoffs, the Canadiens took a one-goal lead into the final period and made it stand up with superb defensive play. They ended Calgary's hopes midway through the period with two wrist shots. Green moved into the high slot to beat Vernon who went down early and was screened. Smith put another partly-screened shot over Vernon's glove hand. ‘The Flames continued their constant lineup shuffling, replacing rookie Brett Hull with another rookie, Brian Bradley, and often playing defencemen Tim Sheehy and Jamie Macoun on the forward lines. Montreal played Steve Rooney in place of Kjell Dahlin to ensure Rooney would get his name on the Cup if the Canadiens won Saturday. After a slow, cautious start, the Canadiens opened the scoring with Gingras’ power-play goal at All four Flames were caught on the side boards when Claude Lemieux found Gingras all alone in the slot. His low Montreal got itself into difficulty early in the second period with consecutive penalties that gave Calgary 3:58 of manpower advantage. The Flames stormed to the attack, causing the Canadi all kind of pr in their zone. But The offensive pressure finally paid off at 7:17 when Bozek scored on a quick shot when he was left alone in front. That came after six minutes of unrelenting Calgary pressure. TORONTOMAN TO PURCHASE WHITEWATER By CasNews Staff The Whitewater Ski Society has found a potential buyer for the financially troubled Whitewater Ski Area. According to a prepared release, a Toronto businessman has offered $357,000 to the Bank of Commerce for Whitewater Ski Area. Whitewater Ski Society members voted in favor of the general concept to sell the ski hill to private enterprise a year ago. The members will vote on the sale at a general meeting June 4. A notice sent to ski society members says the board “has conditionally accepted an offer to purchase the assets of Whitewater” and notes that approval of the membership is required before the sale ean be completed. According to the news release, terms of sale require that $57,000 will be paid “up front” by June 10. The rest will be financed by the Bank of Commerce, which now holds more than $750,000 in loans on the ski area. A poor snow season and a lack of investment capital have made financial operations difficult for Whitewater Ski Society. If the deal goes through, Eric Skat-Petersen, who manages Fortress ski area near Calgary, would take over as area manager. Part of the deal would require the new owners, financier Mike Robbins and Skat-Petersen, to spend $100,000 on hill improvements during the next two years, according te ski society president Roy Shields. He said some $50,000 of the extraordinary improvement funds would have to be spent by Sept. 30 and the Whitewater board would have to approve the nature of the work. The offer represents a financial commitment from Shields said in the release. “That's exactly $200,000 that the society does not have at this moment,” he said — $100,000 for on-hill improvements right away and another $100,000 more for operating capital which Shields said the buyers are committed to. The $357,000 that Robbins would pay to the Bank of Commerce would “retire all indebtedness to the bank,” Shields said. Another provision of the sale would allow the society to keep $30,000 from pre-season passes sold. That fund would be used to pay as much as possible off trade accounts, Shields said. The society will re-establish its charitable status in order to give tax benefits to debenture holders, he added. Season passes already sold will be honored by the new owner. Shields called the deal “a big step forward” for the hill. “The board feels that this will stabilize the money problems,” he said. WAITERS ENCOURAGED England stops Canada By GRANT KERR BURNABY (CP) — Canadian coach Tony Waiters was not openly discouraged by a 1-0 loss Saturday to England in the final major tuneup for both countries before the World Cup of soccer in Mexico. “Tt was a critically important game for us,” said Waiters after his team was badly outplayed. “Had we not performed the right way, we would have put ourselves in an extremely difficult position. “There were some encouraging signs, even though we lost.” English coach Bobby Robson was gracious in victory, calling the Canadian effort challenging “We had a good workout and you have to give Canada credit for running, working hard and challenging us,” Robson said. “They went through a great deal of effort to make it difficult for us.” Robson was not all hearts and flowers, however, hinting he was not pleased by his own team “We were a bit sluggish and out of pace,” he said. “But, we were the better side by some margin and could have had at least three goals Both teams had just completed rigorous high-altitude training sessions in Colorado Springs, Colo., and were willing to run for the entire 90 minutes. SCORED ON REBOUND Star forward Mark Hateley scored the only goal in the 59th minute on a rebound off a bobbled free kick The goal came after Hateley was fouled at the 25 yardline by Canadian defender Randy Samuel directly in front of goalkeeper Paul Dolan Dolan bobbled the hard free kick through the defensive wall by Glenn Hoddle, the ball was forced loose by Steve Hodge and Hateley fired into the empty net The hard-tackling English controlled most of the game and had the better scoring chances before an estimated 10,000 fans in the nationally televised game at Swangard Stadium in suburban Vancouver The game was almost costly for England when forward Gary Lineker left in the d minute clutching his left arm. Team officials at first feared Lineker had suffered a broken bone after a hard tackle by Samuel, but examination in hospital disclosed only a badly sprained left wrist England sat out valuable midfielder Bryan Robson because of shoulder and leg muscle problems. The English team left following the game for Monterrey, Mexico where they open their World Cup schedule June 3 against Portugal. The Canadian team also left for training in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.. before its first-ever World Cup game June 1 against seeded France at Leon, Mexico. ’ GERRY GRAY booming shot Dolan, 20, played a strong game in goal for Canada until his unfortunate miscue on the free kick. England started Peter Shilton in goal and he was relieved by Chris Woods at the start of the second half. Neither made a direct save. The scoreless opening half saw the English come out tackling aggressively and winning most of the balls in the air Dolan made a brilliant save on Hateley in the sixth minute on an accurate crossing pass from the swift Lineker. Dolan dove to the far post to make the save. Midfielder Hodge drove a hard shot off the far post in the 14th minute off a corner kick by Ray Wilkins with Dolan beaten. Canada picked up the pace midway through the half and forward Carl Valentine barely shot wide from outside the 18-yard line with Canada's first shot at Shilton. Moments later Canadian midfielder Mike Sweeney hooked a dangerous shot wide from a sharp angle ‘Aided by some strong play in the central defence by Samuel, Canada began advancing the ball with more confidence and was able to generate scoring chances by going down the wing. Midfielder Gerry Gray boomed a shot wide of the English net in the 33rd minute on a pass from Igor Vrablic after Gray worked his way around defender Alvin Martin. England had an apparent goal called back with one minute left in the half after a corner by Chris Waddle. Referee John Meachin of Vancouver ruled that Dolan was pushed in the ensuing scramble after Terry Butcher headed the ball on to Lineker near the goal line. Dolan was credited with three saves in the first half, while Shilton did not have an official save. *
