Her picture is on the finish line banner flying at the Canadian Ski Association's hill course at But the association said Tuesday it wants charges laid against the ski association and against—R.J.R. Macdonald Tobacco Inc., if they advertise tobacco products at the meet. Dr. Frederic Bass, chairman of the association's tobacco and illness committee, delivered letters to the ski association Tuesday spelling out provincial laws governing tobacco advertising. Asked if the lassie trademark constitutes advertis ing, Bass said: “It's subtle, but it's there.” Even if the trademark could be displayed, it would have to carry a warning that cigarette smoking is unhealthy, he said. Macdonald Tobacco is spending $1.7 million to sponsor several ski championships, including Thursday's downhill meet on Granite Mountain. Bass said he is confident provincial Crown prose- cutors will lay charges if any prohibited advertising is displayed at Rossland. -Bat.Sonny O'Sullivan, who-heads. the ski- associa; tion's provincial division, res; : “Let him lay the charges. I'm not the least bit worried about those guys. “If the medical association wants to replace the sponsorship money, then we won't take any cigarette money, “T've been smoking for 45 years, five packs a day, and I can't find a doctor who will tell me to stop smoking.” Bass, in his letter, noted that the province's Tobacco Product Act allows cigarette ads only in “a newspaper, book, periodical, programme, circular, price list, or letter or... ona vending machine of the premise of a shop.” ‘The law goes on to say that such advertising must inelude a health warning. Penalties under the act include fines of up to $500 and up to three months in jail for a first offence, and $1,000 and six months in jail for subsequent offences. Jeffrey Goodman, Macdonald's director of public af fairs, said from his Rossland hotel: “There is nothing here ... that is blatant tobacco advertising.” STEVE PODBORSK! . .. finally arrives FELIX BELCZYK first place Goodman confirmed that the finish line banner will carry the lassie trademark. “We're in British Columbia, we're very cognizant of British Columbia laws, and we would not be doing any thing that contravenes the laws of British Columbia.” The Export ‘A’ Cup race is scheduled for Thursday 10 a.m. at Granite Mountain in Rossland and there had been speculation that Podborski would bypass the race in the continuing controversy over sponshorship by RJR-Macdonald Tobacco. There has been speculation that Podborski, the 1982 World Cup champion, will retire at the end of this season. Podborski is scheduled to compete in the final two World Cup races this season at Aspen, Colo., and Whistler, early next month. ‘Training runs for the Canadian championship began Monday despite heavy snow conditions at Granite Mountain. Only one training run was completed both days. On Monday, racers skied only half the course, while on Tuesday they completed their first full, timed run. Felix Belezyk of Castlegar, had the best training run with a time of one minute, 58.54 seconds, followed by Wade Christie of Vancouver at 1:59.86. The top five was completed by Don Stevens of Rossland at 2:01.00, Curtis Christie of Vancouver at 2:01.48 and Robin MacLeish of Toronto at 2:01.50. Todd Brooker of Paris, Ont., a veteran World Cup campaigner, went down the hill early in heavy snow and was 16th at 2:03.57. MEN'S DOWNHILL . . .

By RON NORMAN Editor Castlegar Rebels swept into the three-team West Division round-robin semi-final playoff series Sunday with a convincing 9-0 home ‘ce victory over Nelson Junior Maple Leafs in Kootenay International Junior Hockey League playoff action. The win gave the Rebels the best of five quarter final series three games to two. The Rebels were pushed to the fifth and final game after they were beaten 9-4 by the Jr. Leafs Saturday night in Nelson. The Rebels are joined in the round-robin series by Spokane Flames and Beaver Valley Nite Hawks. The Flames are the league champions, while the Nite Hawks finished second in regular season play. The Rebels, of course, finished third in the regular season. Spokane advanced to the round-robin series by thrashing Rossland Warriors, while Beaver Valley got by Grand Forks Border Bruins in its quarter-final series. Beaver Valley opened the round-robin last night in Spokane: Tonight, the Nite Hawks meet the Rebels in Fruitvale. The Rebels then head to Spokane Thursday before returning home Saturday for a game against Beaver Valley and Sunday for a match with Spokane. Game time is 8 p.m. Saturday and 7 p.m. Sunday. The two teams with the best records in round-robin play advance to the division final — a best of seven series. Rebels manager Ron Rebelato said Saturday's 9-4 loss in Nelson “was just a brawl.” “We won the brawl and they won the game.” Rebelato also’said no one on his squad put in a good performance. “It was just a team effort in losing.” Still, he says the Rebels knew they could beat Nelson — it was just a matter of when. “We knew the bubble was going to burst someday,” he said — and it did on Sunday night when the Rebels romped to a 90 whitewash. “They (the Rebels) just put it all together Sunday.” Rebelato said the key to the win was the spectacular play by goalie Dave Kinakin. “Dave Kinakin really played well,” he said, “his best game of the year.” Rebelato said Castlegar might have been guilty of over confidence and took Nelson too lightly. He said the Jr. Leafs played shorthanded for much of the series but all their players gave 100 per cent. The Rebels ran into trouble when their veterans did not give 100 per cent, he said. “We should have won it three straight,” he said. In Sunday's game, Lyle Stoushnow picked up a hat trick and added an assist for a four point night. Walter Wasil enkoff had two goals while singles went to Dan Taylor, Dave Terhune, Mike Corbett and: Sean Armstrong. High scoring Dave Perehudoff picked up four assists. The Rebels led 1-0 after one period and 6-0 after 40 minutes. A turning point in the game came about midway through the second period with the Rebels leading 3-0 when Jr. Leaf captain Frank Maida picked up a five-minute bigh sticking penalty. The Rebels jumped on the opportunity and scored three more goals to put the game out of reach. Meanwhile, Rebelato is confident of the team's chances in the round-robin series. “I think we havea real good chance . .. We fortunately have the best schedule,” he said. B.C. tied for top spot WINNIPEG (CP) — A successful eighth-end gamble by skip Steve Hartley rewarded Ontario with five points and a 9-4 win over Manitoba at the Canadian junior men’s curling championship Tuesday night. “I saw that I had a chance to get those points and you never turn down a chance for five,” said Hartley of his pressure-filled shot that knocked Bob Ursel of Winnipeg from the unbeaten ranks. The Thornhill curler broke a 4-4 deadlock in the eighth when he made a come-around takeout shot, punching Manitoba's second counter through a staggered port of Ontario rocks for the five and his fourth victory of the championship. The Ontario victory knocked Manitoba into a three-way Jr. Rockettes edge out Trail tie for first place after six draws. Ursel, defending champion Jamie Schneider of Kronau, Sask., and Rob Houston of Vernon, all are at 5-1. In the sixth draw, the Parks hooked up with Andrew Buckle of Saint John, N.B., and the game lasted 4/2 hours before Alberta managed a 9-8 victory in four extra ends. The Alberta-New Brunswick game was scheduled for 10 ends, but Scott Park had his problems in the 11th, 12th and 13th ends, hitting and rolling out on each occasion. In the 14th end, Buckle was heavy with his last shot and Scott Park didn't have to throw his final stone, having the necessary point in the house. The 14 ends is believed to be a modern record for a national tournament. Northern Ontario and Frank O'Driscoll, skip of the Newfoundland team from St. John's, are 3-3 after three days. At 2-4 are New Brunswick and Quebec's Jean-Pierre Croteau of Gatineau, while the Northwest Territories’ Derek Elkin of Yellowknife, Danny Bentley of Truro, N.S., and Alan Brown of Charlottetown are 1-5. Houston's B.C. team roared into the lead with two vic tories Tuesday, including a 6-8 triumph over Schneider in the fifth round. In the evening, B.C. came back to defeat Quebec 6-3. He said Beaver Valley had to play back-to-back games, with Spokane Tuesday and then Castlegar tonight Edblad top racer Hans Edblad of the Red Mountain Racers captured the boys’ giant sthlom Sun- day at the B.C. Cup Races in Kimberley. A total of five B.C. Cup races were held over ths weekend. Megan Johnston of Ross- land finished third behind Michelle Johnson of Terrace in Sunday's girls’ giant sla- Jom. Giant slalom races were also held Saturday with Christina Edblad of the Red Mountain Racers speeding to top spot in the girls’ event, with Johnston third. The Stanley Humphries Secondary School Junior Rockettes ended the league portion of their 1984 basketball schedule in fine fashion last week with a fast-paced, exciting 47-42 come from behind vietory over the Trafalgar Totems. With the victory the Rock- ettes wrapped up first place in the league standings and safape a bye into the West Keétenay championship game to be played on Wed- nesday, Feb. 29 in the SHSS sym. The girls’ perfect 8-0 league record consists of home and away victories over J.L. Crowe, Trafalgar and Grand Forks. The Kin naird Junior Secondary School grade 8's contributed to the perfect record by pinch-hitting for the SHSS nd winning a pair of against Boundary The team’s overall record this season stands at 17 wins against only two losses — both in tournament play. Trail rink wins NEW WESTMINSTER (CP) — The John Merkley rink from Trail won the British Columbia senior men’s curling championship Tuesday with a 7-6 victory over Barry Naimark of Van couver. Merkley’s rink — third Red Koehle, second Charles Cat- alano and lead Mickey Maglio — will represent B.C. at the Canadian senior men's cham- pionship March 12-19 at St. John's Nfld. The Trail foursome lost only one game in 14 during the zone, interior and pro- vineial playdowns. Merkley defeated Naimark 8&7 Monday afternoon in the opening game of the best-of- three finals and Naimark for- ced a deciding game by win- ning 10-6 Monday night.
