(CP) — The former head of Mari- time Command says he would not use most of Canada's.~ destroyers during a war be- cause they are unfit for ac- tive duty. Robert Timbrell, a retired rear admiral, said this week that he believes 19 of Can- ada’s 28 destroyers are uni it for active ‘duty. “If I were a commander, I could not let those ships out in a war situation today,” he said. “They were well designed for their day, but they are now long overdue for ‘re- the local commis- sion or Recreation and Sport Branch in Nelson, 310 Ward St. V1L 584, phone Sbe22)1 loc. 478. through a contract with Wellcome . which will see a subsidiary of the B.C.

But: the following: ‘day’, he. kied poorly, which he say! was a result of thinking too -much. about his fall ‘and not concentrating on the! course enough.

Belczyk says he was per- forming well in the training _Tuns, coming close to being in the top 10, but then the un- fortunate accident happened the first day of the race. He was still turning when he shouldn't have been and he came across two large bumps, HELMET SHATTERED He was thrown head first to the ground when he went over the bumps. His‘ helmet shattered and his arm broke when it hit the snow, Celezyk flew back to Can- ada for a month while his arm healed, He was fitted with a special cast in Vancouver enabling him to ski with the cast, but not competitively. ‘During this time he.skied at Red: Mountain to keep in shape. By February he was back in action — this time at a World Cup downhill at Whistler, B.C. There he fin- ished S7th. - “I made a really bad mis- take,” he says. “I should have done better ... I was really disappointed.’ Belczyk admits the course was fairly easy — “Much too easy for World Cup level”. — but he went off a bump in the only -difficult section of the course, cutting lose snow and balancing from edge to edge. “As a result he lost: precious . catch’ some point like ‘that there’s no way - you can miake it back up,” he says, “You just lose time.” Belezyk’s next race was the World Cup -in Aspen, Colo. in early’ March. Again he placed well back — 44th. “I was skiing really well in the training runs,”.-he says, “Quite close to top guys.in the world in a lot of sections on the course.” “I was really happy,” but in ‘the race I didn't do that well. I made a.mistake that cost a - lot of time.” = FELIX BELCZYK . In spite of the mistake, Belezyk was still pleased with his result. “It was really good for me to come back to a course I'd already skied‘on. “I really appreciate - how experience” helps you,” Belezyk placed 40th in the: World Cup at Aspen in 1981. He then. went on to Big’ Mountain, Mont. for the U.S. Nationals, “It wasn'ta very good race because it was a really easy course and also strong winds and they wi low up and ‘s) and not others.” ‘The second day of the race, the 10 Canadian ‘national team members pulled out of the race when they felt the race was unfair because of the wind factor. It was on to Panorama in Invermere for the NorAm. Though the race was a Nor Am, one was called the Shell’ Cup and used as the Can- adian Championships. This ,;was another of his best results of the season — Belezyk placed 12th in one Face and 15th in the other. He «exciting to beo on winning team fell on ue course in the sec- ond ra “The "competition was really stiff because the whole Canadian national ski team and whole U.S. team and top top. Swiss team: members were there,” he says. This was the last downhill © of the season for Belezyk. He then entered some Nor Am slalom and giant slalom races for the mere enjoyment of . racing. ‘Belezyk notes that he wouldn't “make it" as a - slalom ‘or ‘giant’ slalom-‘raver'“ because his: performance in these ‘areas have declined since : his spécialization in downhill racing. - Some skiers say downhill racing is easier than slalom or giant slalom, but Belezyk tends to disagree. He says’ the. reason the downhill program in: Canada isthe stronger of the three, is - because of Canada’s success in the downhill, As a result, more up-and-coming ‘skiers tend to follow this route be- cause they feel there-is more glory there. . 4 “The glory is definitely there,” he says, “Especially this year with Podborski (Steve) and Brooker (Todd) doing so well.” “It's pretty exciting to be on a winning team like that.” NOTPOPULAR | As an individual team member Belezyk does not at- tract much publicity, but the © team itself is popular. “We get invited toa 3 lot of things because those guys | are. doing so well,” he’ says. aa ae attention is on the meee Tine with me. 1f1 ever get there then I know I will deserve it (the publicity).” Although plans have not yet been finalized, the na- tional ski team will start the up-coming season with an Seen ce camp in New Zealand at the end of & Suly and in August. The ski- ers have a chance to ski downhill in the winter condi- tions. Then they head back to Europe in September for ‘ training’ camp before begin- ning the ski season, _ Belezyk has been in the area the. past few weeks, skiing in divisional races, and helping younger racers. Because his Federation In- - ternational ‘du Ski (FIS) points are lower, this makes the overall race better, giv-' ing the ‘skiers. more of a. chance to improve their own’ * point standings, - Belezyk does not yet know if he: will be a full-fledged rhember of the national téai this season — not until after. ° the first World Cup.-event © which every team member attends. From that race, the coach. es decide who skies the World Cup circuit. Belezyk says he believes he could ‘make the team, al-’ though it is hard to predict. what he will be skiing like next season. + i i “I think I could do it,” he says. m, But for now Belezyk is es- caping the hills and the snow | with a vacation in. sunny California.
