TROLL LOPPET CHALLENGES SKIERS: Sunny skies greeted the 64 cross-country skiers who took part in the second annua! Troll Loppet on Saturday at Nancy Greene Lake. The citizens’ marathon — sponsored by the Nordic Ski Touring Club — presented skiers with a particularly challenging course this year, with fast icy tracks in the morning turning soft and slow in the hot afternoon sun. The skiers answered the challenge by skiing over 1,600 kilometres, with 13 individuals completing the 41-kilometre Ben Shaw Gold loop. The over 60s by three golds, two silvers and a bronze, with the winner of the Oldest Skier Award, 72-year-old Istvan Soos of Trail, completing the 41-kilometre loop. The Youngest Skier Award went to five-year-old Brian John of Castlegar who finished the eight-kilometre Tiny Troll loop. Other skiers who put in noteworthy performances were Aaron Donahue of Robson, who at six years old, completed 15 kilometres to win a Super Troll award and Paul Jorgenson of Nelson who skied his 24 kilometres with: his baby boy on his back. Also from, Nelson came Barbara Brown, a novice skier of only five week's experience, who with the help of a nine-year-old expert successfully finished the 15-kilo- metre bronze loop. Three members of the recent Ch i team each 4 e Robert Ehman, Alex Hartman and Mac Lamb. Another member of the same team, Chris Bullock, won the High School 1 ki 24-kilometre racing section, followed by Tauno Syrja in second place and Kieran Finney in third. Also of note were three women skiers who the 31-kilometre women’s requirement for gold to finish 41 kilometres — Lorraine Bartlett, Trail; Yvonne Tremblay, Nelson; and Marg Pondelicek, Castlegar. ‘The challenging 41-kilometre course started at Nancy Greene Lake. After a short warm-up on the Lake Trail the skiers embarked on a demanding three-kilome- tre climb. The Gloryview Trail, aptly named after the superb view this trail offers of Old Glory, followed by portions of the historic Rossland-Paulsop Trail with turn-of-the-century corduroy bridges, and a loop in the Nordic Basin led the marathoners to the Nordic Cabin. A quick drink or perhaps a rest prepared the skiers for an exciting seven-kilometre descent to the Ben Shaw Cabin — some 200 metres lower down. The Pine Trail with its steep grades and sharp turns took its toll. Next the Spruce Trail with its gentle terrain soon led to another long climb on the Rossland-Paulson and past the club's skidoo and rescue equipment which peed gw at Glenmerry Road. From this third checkpoint at 20 kilometres, a short ski across a few clear-cut areas in bright sunshine had the skiers ready for a fast descent to the Nordie Basin. The Nordic Cabin, on the second loop, was a perfect place to stop for lunch. The Pine Trail had changed to a tame run, just perfect for some double-poling — even from the Seal Creek Road down. A stop at the Ben Shaw Cabin, now 31 kilometres from the start, was a chance for a long drink, a change of wax and onwards. At the Glenmerry-Rossland-Paulson junction the final five kilometres promised to be a real pleasure, almost all being downhill. The “new” Winterberry minus the schuss and beaver pond must have been a weleome experience for tired legs. Finally the marathoners, complete with sunburns, reached the cabin at Nancy Greene Lake. Following the Loppet a banquet was held at the Sandman Inn and trophies and awards were presented.

GENTLEMEN: Kalesnikotf vs. Gonder Creek, 8:30 GENTLEMEN'S Fitzgerald ready to go By WESLEY WEST PALM BEACH, FLA. (CP) — There was a time last year when Mike Fitzgerald was almost mak- ing Expos fans forget Gary Carter. Now the 26-year-old cat cher is hoping those same Montreal fans will forget about him — or at least the National League baseball season he had. Acquired with three other players from New York Mets for Carter in an off-season deal in 1984, Fitzgerald was put in the unenviable position of replacing one of the most charismatic, successful and popular players the Montreal franchise ever had. Unlike his predecessor, the quiet, unassuming Fitzgerald preferred to deal with the Expos catching situation on the field rather than in front of reporters. He kept acknowledging the big shoes he was expected to fill, but insisted his perfor- mance would speak for itself. “The comparisons with Carter didn't bother me,” he said. “I knew all I had to do was go out and do the job on the field.” Through the first six weeks of the ign he did, resulting in a spate of “Gary who?” jokes from his teammates. In fact, Fitzgerald got off to such a quick start that af- ter 25 games he was among the league leaders with a .303 batting average and 10 runs batted in. Then he injured his knee and everything began to un- ravel. His offensive produc- tion began dropping and op- posing baserunners began taking liberties on the base- paths. HAS SURGERY Fitzgerald was hitting .207 with five homers and 34 RBIs on Sept. 3, when he was placed on the disabled list. Three weeks later he under- went surgery to remove torn cartilage. “The doctors felt it was going to be a simple opera- tion,” Expos manager Buck Rodgers said. “But when they got in there, the knee was so bad they couldn't see how he could catch at all.” “There were times when we thought he was having some problems, but he con. vineed us everything was OK,” said Rodgers. “The X-rays showed there was nothing serious so we let him catch some games we prob- ably shouldn't have.” “I didn't want to sit,” said Fitzgerald, who is entering his third major league sea- son. “Even though I was hurt, I felt I could still help the team. “I finally realized that all I was doing was hurting the team and myself. It wasn't the type of injury I could rehabilitate while I was still playing.” Fitzgerald went through a rigorous knee-building pro- gram in the off-season, Brooker has surgery TORONTO (CP) — Skier Todd Brooker of Paris, Ont., is recovering in a hospital at South Lake Tahoe, Nev., af- ter undergoing knee surgery. Brooker, a veteran of the Canadian national ski team, underwent surgery Monday to repair ligament damage in his left knee. Doctors also performed minor arthrosco- pic surgery on his right knee. “It will improve his (left) knee so substantially he'll be able to have 100 per cent confidence on the slopes,” Glen Calkins of Toronto, Brooker’s agent, said of the surgery. “He didn’t have confidence because of lateral movement in the knee and that's what he thought was causing him to catch edges.” Brooker, 26, caught an edge for a race in January at Kitzbuehl. Austria. He re- turned to Canada to have the knee examined but reinjured it soon after on another training run. Mid-Week Wrap-up Atom Reps dump Nelson Castlegar Atom Reps cap- ped a 5-1 vietory over Nelson at the Civie Arena on Sat urday. Clay Bouthillier put Castle. gar on the scoreboard with the first two goals. Forty eight seconds into the first period, Bouthillier picked up a pass from Fred Geinger and fired a shot from the point. Bouthillier’s second goal came at 12:22 when he scored, again from the point, on a pass from Tom Phipps. With four minutes remaining in the period, Geinger con- nected on a smooth pass from Nino DaCosta and secured Castlegar's third goal. The period ended 3-0 for Castle- gar. Four minutes into the sec- ond period, DaCosta scored on a breakaway, assisted by Les Stoochnoff. In a scramble for the puck in front of Nelson's net, Geinger tipped in his second goal of the game, assisted by DaCosta and Bouthillier. Nelson's only goal was scored on a power. play, with two minutes re- maining in the second period The goalies intercepted all shots on goal in the third period and the game ended 5-1 for Castlegar.

Ravaged by depression, drought, war time price controls, jand a of the} gover outlook was bleak indeed. Outside the major cities, there was little electrification, telephones, or paved roads. Farms and people were impoverished. Over the 10 years 1944-54, power lines and jcommunications were extended to the countryside, paved highways were built, the economy diversified by a D’Arcy Report judicious and profitable mix 6f public and private enterprise, and provincial finances were put in order. Because — and only because of these successes — the CCF government then could afford the social and health care services for which they became famous. Sure, everyone's economy was expanding in those years. But in Saskatchewan, the problems were more acute, the resources more limited. That didn’t stop Tommy. Allan Fotheringham, who seldom compliments anyone, said that “T.C. Douglas gave Saskatchewan back its pride.” Amen. Jean Chretien is not dead. In fact he is in the prime of life. It is said his resignation is a loss to Quebec Liberals. Much more than that, Chretien in many respects epitomized the soul of the national Liberal party for more than two decades. He was and is a man of the people. His departure from public life is not just a loss for the Liberals; he will be missed by all Canadians. Back in B.C., Minister of Finance “Hugely Courteous” gradiloquently announced on CBC radio that “unlike Michael Wilson, we in B.C. have been able to reduce taxes to fight the recession and deficit.” The naive CBC investigative reporter did not question Mr. Curtis’ assertion. Could have fooled me too. Shucks, since the recession started there may have been the odd tax “reduction” in Mr. Curtis’ B.C. For instance: e Electricity taxes (water fees) up 1,600 per cent © Sales taxes up 40 per cent. e Rural property taxes up 17 per cent @ Sales taxes have been tacked onto formerly exempt items such as restaurant meals, long distance phone calls, energy conservation technology, and pay TV e Gasoline and natural gas taxes have been jacked up, along with the hotel room tax. Great for Expo business. Fees for medicare, long term care, hospital rooms and emergency services have been raised e Provincial income taxes have jumped eight per cent, and tax credits removed e Hunting and fishing licences, park fees, vehicle and drivers’ licences have all gone up since the recession hit. And this is just a partial list Please Mr. Curtis. No more economy has had enough tax increases. The ANNOUNCEMENT OALE MANSON JUD DUDLEY Dale Manson, interior B.C.
