VALENTINE’'S DAY Sunday, Feb. 14 at 3:00 p.m. 'WE ARE LOCATED IN THE FIRESIDE INN By BRENDAN NAGLE Staff Writer Your feet are attached to a pair-of fibre-carbon composition skis about 220 centimetres long Before you lies a near-vertical ice-rink 2,400-metres ig with a vertical drop of 700 metres sprinkled with the odd gate to make your run a little more challenging. Your sole objective: to be the fastest man down the mountain. For Felix Belezyk, being the fastest man down the mountain has been a- goal ever since he first started racing with the Red Mountain Racers 14 years ago. “It’s an incredible feeling,” says Belezyk while resting at home before leaving for Inveremere and the Canadian men's downhill skiing championships. “You're going 140 kilometres an hour and all you've got on is two flat pieces of material and it's just your own body that's controlling you.” Belezyk credits the Red Mountain Racers program in Rossland with getting him interested in the downhill event, “It started with the Red Mountain Racers, I first seriously joined the program when I was 12,” says Belezyk. “Being a Red Mountain Racer, more than other clubs in the province, we concentrated on the downhill a little more.” He says the key to a good run is to focus on the course, not the clock or other racers. “You can't race a clock because your mind can't comprehend the difference,” he says. “If the winning time is one minute and 52 seconds, you know that to win the race you have to be a one minute 51. There's no way you can actually comprehend the difference of one second while on the course.” Belezyk also says focusing ag beating other racers can detract from what is most important: concentrating on the course. “You can't race agfinst other racers because on any given day the guy you figure who's going to be the one to beat might not do it ... you have to race the mountain.” He says he enjoys the challenge of downhill racing and the feeling of accomplishment he gets for just finishing. “It’s a pretty amazing feeling,” he says “When you're flying off these huge bumps and these wicked turns — to actually know that you're capable of staying on the Belczyk's quest for sp BELCZYK . . . speed merchant track.” He's been with the Canadian men's downhill ski team for five years and says he will continue to race until he feels he can no longer compete. He speaks of the need to ski the downhill. “It's an addiction,” he says. “You get used to going really fast and you get used to taking chances and then after a while you just have to keep doing it.” He says fear plays a part in racing. There is a certain “nervous energy” that he gets just before leaving the starting gate and that the energy gets him up for the race. “You need your fix of danger every so often or you start losing it.” Once he's out on the course it all fades away and his concentration on the run takes over. He says the worst thing he can think of before a race is “I have to win.” What is Belezyk's idea of the perfect run? “Everything slows down — you feel like you're in a slow motion mode,” he says. “There's so much clarity and you're so aware and tuned into the run that you just know things are clicking at that point.” OFFENCE SCRAMBLES . . . The Castlegar Rebels went into Trail Friday night hoping to pull out a win. The Rebels shut out the Junior Smokies 5-0, with the shutout going to Nick Colvin. CasNewsPhoto by Brendan Nogie Rebels in control By CasNews Staff The Castlegar Rebels were hoping to put some distance between themselves and the Trail Junior Smokies Friday night at Cominco Arena.

The|Red Wings, who have won three straight, trailed 4-2 before Yzerman, the league's second-leading goal scorer with 43, went to work. He scored on a steal of the puck with 2:82 to play in the second period and tied the score 53 seconds into the third by lifting a rebound over Brian Hayward, the sprawled Montreal goaltender. Yzerman, who has at least one point in 46 of the 54 games he has played, notched the winner on a similar play The sequence started when Montreal defenceman Peter Svoboda's clearing pass was blocked by Peter Klima, who forced Hayward to the ice as he cut in front of the goal. BRUINS 3 NORDS 2 QUEBEC (CP) — Cam Neely's power-play goal midway through the third period lifted Boston to a 3-2 victory over the Quebec Nordiques on Saturday, giving the Bruins their third straight NHL triumph.

Quebec, meanwhile, remained mired in last place in the Division. Steve Kasper and Ken Linseman also had goals for Boston while Jeff Brown and Michel Goulet replied for Quebec.

The Islanders built their lead on Kerr's goal at 2:12 of the first period and goals by Steve Konroyd, Derek King and Randy Wood in a 2:57 span early in the second period. Makela pounced on the rebound of a shot by Pat LaFontaine after Buffalo goalie Jacques Cloutier made a good save and scored his 28th goal of the season from a sharp angle with Buffalo's Uwe Krupp serving a holding penalty PENS 5 WHALERS 4 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Charlie Simmer scored a power-play goal with 3:10 remaining in regulation time Saturday night to give the Pittsburgh Penguins their fourth straight victory, a 5-4 triumph over the-Hartford Whalers.

LOUIS (AP) — Peter Zezel scored one|goal and set up another during a three-goal first period as the Philadelphia Flyers ended St. Louis team-record seven. game winning streak by beating the Blues 4-2 on Saturday. Panorama Cup belongs to Canada's Karen Percy INVEREMERE, B.C. (CP) Karen Percy tightened her race head, put a little adhesive on her injured hand and went out and beat her world-ranked teammates Saturday in the Panorama Cup, an International Ski Federation downhill points race. The bubbly 21-year-old from Banff, Alta., roared down the 2,134-metre run in 1:19.87 to nip Kellie Casey of Collingwood, Ont., second in 1:19.96. Kerrin Lee of Rossland, B.C., was third in 1:20.88 with Laurie Graham of Inglewood, Ont., winner of Friday's Canadian downhill championship, fourth in 1:20.98. Mike Carney of Squamish, B.C., won the men's downhill race in 1:40.22, beating Gerhard Pfaffenbichler of Austria, second in 1:40.25, and Steven Lee of Australia, third in 1:40.65. “I wish today was yesterday,” Percy said after her impressive run. “I don’t get to be the so-called Canadian champion but that's life . . . this was the same race, same people.” Percy, skiing out of the Sunshine ski club, has been bothered by a broken left thumb but may have found a solution Saturday when she put “some sticky stuff” on her glove to prevent her from losing her ski pole. “I needed this,” she said of the victory. “I had a bad day Friday .. . so I told myself I had nothing to lose. I made a few mistakes Friday but I knew where I could clean that up. “Other than that I just had to put my race head on a little tighter.” Graham, one of Canada’s top medal hopes for the Olympic Games later this month, said she made on big mistake on the top section. “I went too straight into one turn and when you do that all the pressure’s at the bottom of the turn and you lose a lot of speed.” Casey, one of the most consistent skiers all week, was runner up for the second straight day but she finished with a badly bruised right forearm. “I hit a gate pretty hard at the bottom, at about the fastest part of the course,” the dark-haired, 23-year-old explained after icing the arm. I don't know how fast it was, about the upper part of 100 kilometres an hour. I went too straight at the gate... to get the gate out of the way I had to use my arm.” BEATS OLYMPIANS The significant aspect of the men's race was that Carney beat all three members of Austria's downhill Olympic team and Don Stevens of Rossland, B.C., again beat Daniel Moar of Revelstoke, B.C., in their battle for the final spot on Canada's team. “I'm sure they weren't going for it as much as me because this race is just|a warm-up race for Calgary for them,” the rusty-haired Carney said of the Austrians. “Still, 'm glad with what happened today.” Stevens finished sixth in 1:41.11 while Moar was out of the top 10 with a time of 1:42.88. The two are competing for the final berth of the downhill team, hoping to join Rob Boyd of Whistler, B.C., Felix Belezyk of Castlegar, B.C., and Brian Stemmle of Aurora, Ont.
