VIL ICS le i? 352-6601 Lions have plenty of problems VANCOUVER (CP) — If Van- couver businessman Jim Pattison follows through on his recent offer to buy the British Columbian Lions, he will be inheriting a Canadian Football League team apparently sinking un- der more problems off the field than on. An independent marketing survey on the club indicates the dome is a flop with Lions’ fans, the club doesn't understand the business of football, and when it was rich, it spent all its money on players, not planning. The findings by marketing con- sultant Mike Hurst suggest the club is floundering behind the desk. The team finished last year with a $2.9 million deficit and outstanding debts of $4 million. The club needs at least 35,000 spectators a game to break even, let alone pay its past debts. Lately, attendance at the cavernous B.C. Place Stadium has dropped to an average 33,000. CHANGES NEEDED Radical changes are needed if the club is to survive, Hurst says in the mid-year marketing report com- issioned by the club.

CASTLE BOWL His report, calling for immediate action, was delivered to the club Sept. 1. Club president Jim Hogan says it hasn't yet been seen by the board of directors, adding he does not agree with everything Hurst states. He would not discuss. spec- ifies. Among the reasons Hurst gives for the decline are: e Lack of understanding the bus- iness and the marketing of the bus- iness by the club; e Conflict between departments leading to office staff “not fune- tioning as a team;” e When large television revenues were available, the funds went into facilties and players, not marketing efforts or skills; e Fan di with the Xerox Tek 7021 inal Cut shee s bond paper facsimile terminal. a Imagine the top-of-the-line Xerox facsimile terminal that uses single sheet bond paper and also has a memory that can store up to 60 pages and send to pre-programmed locations at 18 seconds per page — that's the amazing Xerox Telecopier 7021 Terminal The Xerox 7021 is a facsimile terminal with automatic speed dialing for up to 99 numbers, step down modem, activity report, send and receive headers, and reduction of oversize documents.

WIN SUPPORT Hurst also says the club is res ponding to the problems, and he des- cribes the 1988 Lions as “the right style mix for the future and should win support when when get consis tently good.” But the club's efforts are affected by the league's declining fortunes, says Hurst. Although the Lions draw more fans than any other team, the league in general is perceived as on shaky footing, Hurst says. From 1983 to 1986, the team re- ceived $1.3 million a year in tele- vision revenues, but when fans stopped tuning into the league's games, the contract was not re- THE TRADE Gretzky expects a lot INGLEWOOD, CALIF. (AP) — Soon, the returns will start coming in on The Trade, Can Wayne Gretzky, eight times the most valuable player in the National Hockey League, adjust to being a Los Angeles King? And can the Kings become win ners? On Aug. 9, the day Los Angeles acquired the Great One in a startling trade with the Edmonton Oilers, general manager Rogie Vachon said the move could immediately put the Kings into contention for the Stanley Cup. Gretzky helped the Oilers win four Stanley Cups in five years. The Kings have never come close. So will Los Angeles be a con- tender? “You have to have high expect ations andthat includes winning the Stanley Cup,” Gretzky said as the preseason wound down. THINK POSITIVE “You can’t. go in thinking that you won't win the championship. If you think you'll lose, there's no sense playing. “But things are not going to happen overnight . . . It's going to take a while, but after 20 years of losing . . . I think the team that is here has the toughness, it has the talent, it has the speed. I think we have a better team than People think.” Gretzky notes that he’s not the only one getting used to new team mates — so, among others, are the Oilers. “It's hard for everyone,” he said. “It's hard for the guys who I'm playing with . . . You just develop that instinct with who you're playing with. It just takes time. It’s a change for everyone. “It took guys 10 years to get to know each other in Edmonton. But it's been a real joy here.” SOLID CO-WORKER In particular, he points to Bobby Carpenter on his left wing. “He's been playing great hockey for us. Boy, it’s a really important part of a hockey club to have a guy whg's that big and’ strong and yet that smart to be on-a team. It’s im- perative in order to win.” Gretzky won't talk about the effect the trade might have on the Kings in future years. Besides paying the Oilers $15 million cash, the Kings gave up, 20-year-old centre Jimmy son, top 1988 draft pick Martin Gelinas and first-round picks in 1989, 1991 and 1993. But he likes what he sees so far. “There are a lot of changes and there are a lot of new faces, and yeah, we're coming together a lot better,” Gretzky said. “It's, imperati' with each other of big part of winning.” The Detroit Red Wings visit the Forum for the regular-season opener Oct. 6. The game will be televised in Canada on TSN. Gretzky faces his former team- mates Oct. 19 at Edmonton. I don't look forward to it at all,” he said. “As a matter of fact I haven't even thought about it.” “I don’t want to think about it be- cause I don't look forward to it. Be- cause when I'm done with hockey those guys will still be my friends.” to become close e ice. That's & Carson faced with replacing Gretzky EDMONTON (CP) — Jimmy Carson, at 20 years of age, has gone from the relative obscurity of the NHL in Los Angeles to a stage in Edmonton where he'll perform under what may be the brightest spotlight in hockey this winter. His job, and he has no choice but to accept it, is to replace Wayne Gret- zky, not just an idol in Edmonton but the greatest offensive player in the game. The trade was actually Gretzky, Mike Krushelnyski and Marty Mc- Sorley to the Los Angeles Kings for Carson, rookie Martin Gelinas and three first-round draft picks. To Edmontonians, it has become Gret- zky for Carson. “I know there will be comparisons, but I don’t feel I have to fill his spot because no one can fill his spot, he was like a security blanket here,” Carson said this week. “So I'm not worrying about it. ll be satisfied to contribute to the team and to improve my game. I'm sure that being ina winning atmosphere with great hockey players . .. that will take care of itself.” Through eight games he had six goals and 13 points, contributing, much as Gretzky did, to half of Ed- monton's 26 goals. He was plus five, second only to Randy Gregg’s plus six, had one of two game-winning goals and did all that while shuffling between lines. “I wasn't—going jout to try to impress the fans,” Carson said.

Purpose? To consider the writing of a History of Castlegar and District. Why? Because we don't have one. Trail, Nelson, Ros: , Silverton, to name a few, have some kind of written record; we don't. Any attempt by students or others to obtain information about this area is therefore fraught with peril and frustration. Despite this omission, there are some of us who feel that this “Crossroads of the Kootenays” has as John Charters Reflections and recollections rich a historical lode as any that has come out of the mines which figured so strongly in its begii — a few. Others are waiting to be reported on: Others still have been asked to lend their expertise. The third section would be anecdotal — recollections of older citizens of incidents, people, places and things. Harold Webber has already done this spade work in his book, People and Places. It is time, as I reminded the seniors at a recent reading of Over My Shoulder to rummage once again in the attics of memory, There are a lot of goodies there. Finally, such a history should have a gazetteer for rapid reference. Thumbnail sketches of people, places, institutions, clubs and churches which are the life of the community. Does your club, business, industry or church have a brief record of its origins and history? I am not holding my breath, but its time you started to work. At the same time I am not forgetting the words of my old Doukhobor friend: “The man who has no past has no future. Our past has no existence until we capture it in writing, then it becomes immortal. Our future has no future until we make it so, in the only time we have at our disposal — now.” And so the first step. Care to join us? *_ * « This brings me to another historical matter. A few days ago a letter arrived from Naomi Miller, editor of the British Columbia Historical Federation. She wrote: “I heard you-talking to Neil Gillen (host of the CBC Saturday morning show) on the radio a few days ago (I wish she hadn't -| I botched it). The topic was your new book, Over My Shoulder. It seems that the book should be eligible for our competition for writers of B.C. history. Details enclosed.” I then turned to the enclosed page of “details.” It said: “Any book published in 1988, with historical content is eligible. The work may be community history, a biography, a record of a project, industry or an organization, or personal ions giving e he.

What kind of history book are we talking about? Certainly not an academic dust-gatherer, but something which can be read with profit and interest by students and average citizens alike; a readable reference book as it were; people-history which emphasizes a hypothesis held by several of us that because of its location and evolution this area is a miniature-of-the-development of our country. How then to organize it? What should the format be to make it both useful and readable? We agreed that the book might be arranged in several divisions or areas of approach. The first of these would be the story of this valley and eventually of this town starting from geological times, then to the second of the early inhabitants, the Indians, the trader explorers, miners, transportation, lumbering and industry — their development and networks to the present time. The second section would include biographies of - those who have been instrumental in these changes and developments. There are a lot of interesting people in this valley and we have started already on an best anthology; special award for outstanding writer; best article published in British Columbia historical news. There are a number of good writers in this area and since space here is limited, and if they are interested, I would suggest that they should inquire for details from: The Editor; B.C.
