The city issued 21 licences and received $1,630 in fees last month compared to 10 licences and $730 in fees last year. Most of the licences issued in June went to contractors, large- ly due to the expansion and modernization of the Celgar pulp mill.

SOCCER the Canadian Soccer League Wednesday, ending a three- year winless drought against the Blizzard. FOOTBALL ‘Dirty For a guy who, as an athlete; earned the nickname Dirty 80, Jim Young sure ~ has.a lot of friends. And quite a few of those buddies, pro- fessional sports stars past and present, accepted Young’s invitation to the Castle- gar Golf Course on Thursday for his fourth annual celebrity tournament. They came to hit a few' balls, talk. a good game and spend some money to sup- port the local chapter of the Red Cross in. Young’s annual act of giving back some- thing to the place where he got his new start in life. Young, who got his first job off the football field managing the local Sand- man Inn, said he and the organizers of What They Said, page B2 the tourney have tried to make it a little better every year, and by the same token, raise a little more money for charity. To do that, he depends on the charity of his celebrity friends, and this year he was happy with theic effort. “I think we got a good mix (of celebri- ties) this year,” said Young, whose own celebrity status rose a notch in May when he was inducted into the Canadian Football League’s Hall of Fame for his service with the B.C. Lions in the late 1960s, early ‘70s. “We got some hockey, soccer, some media people and some ex-football play- ers, a little something for everybody. It’s nice to see these guys come out and give their time for this tournament,” he said. The “everybody” Young refers to is the~ local golfer, 70 of whom paid $60 each to play on a five-man team with one of the celebrities. For many, just having a chance to watch and listen to.the antics of emcee John McKeachie, of BCTV spor i fame, at the lunch and dinner, was worth the price of admission. McKeachie, who's been master of cere- monies all four years, said he does about 18-20 of these events a year, but they have to meet his standards before he'll sign up. He said he’s known Young, who is now co-general manger of the Lions, for a long time and can’t say a bad word about him, at least not to his face anyway. “My philosophy is you do whatever it takes. You don’t just go anywhere to do this, you have to have a good purpose behind it and good people running it,” said McKeachie. “I’ve known Jim Young for 16, 17 years now and I know he’s a guy who's got his head and his heart in the right place. “From my stand point, it’s a win-win situation. I have a blast doing it and from my experience the communities often surprise themselves how well they can do with these things.” As for the stars, hockey players were on top of the autograph seekers’ lists with Kootenay boys Greg Adams and Steve Bozek of the Vancouver Canucks signing more than a few hockey cards. Trail native and New York Islanders player Ray Ferraro was also kept busy by the youngsters as was Claude Vilgrain of the New Jersey Devils and Canuck Jay Mazur. Who wins or loses the tournament is secondary to the real goal, which to raise 30' sure has lots of pals Casnews photos by Ed Mills (Top left) Vancouver Canucks’ forward Greg Adams checks in at the Castlegar Golf Course Thursday for the Jim Young Celebrity golf tournament.

Exactly how much was raised will be tallied over this weekend. In past years, the money has been enough to set up and sustain a Red Cross office in Castlegar and in total over four years amounts to more than $40,000. Because Young put his heart into foot- ball, and did the same when his playing days were over, is perhaps one of the rea- sons he has so many friends; said McK- eachie. Hockey celebrities included St. Louis Blues’ property David Bruce, former Buf- falo Sabre Danny Gare, Canucks equip- ment manager Ed Georgica, former New York Islander-Colorado Rockies player Brian Lefley, former Atlanta Flame-Van- couver Canuck Pat Price, Kootenay boy and now Canucks’ public relations man, Steve Tambellini, former Canuck forward Dennis Ververgaert, goaltender Dunc Wilson and defenceman Dennis Kearns, and Glen Cochrane, formerly with the Philadelphia Flyers, Chicago Black- hawks, Edmonton Oilers and Canucks. Retired football celebrities included one-time B.C. Lions players John Blain, Jan Carinci, Paul Girody, Kevin Konar, Garth Rizzuto and Al Wilson. Vancouver 86ers player Jim Easton was the lone soccer star at the tourney. Ferguson Jenkins is baseball's tragic hero By DOUG SMITH The Canadian Press‘ He’s been blessed with enormous talent and dogged by tragedy. When Ferguson Jenkins stands at the podium on the steps of the baseball Hall of Fame in Coop- erstown, N.Y., on Sunday afternoon, he'll thank the people who developed that talent and remem- ber those whose tragic deaths have tempered every great thing that has happened to him. Th Offensive tackle Jim Mills, last year’s most out- standing tineman in the CFL, signed a two-year con- tract with the B.C. Lions. TRACK Ben Johnson will try to qualify in the 100 metres next week for the Canadian team going to next month’s world track and field cham- pionships in Tokyo.

Louis Blues in the orris Division. <7 Mike Mur. phy, was named assistant coach with the Toronto Maple is on Tuesday. 6 ds of fans, including scores of Canadi- ans paying tribute to one of their country’s true sports heroes, will descend on the picturesque vil- lage in upstate New York. But it will be the five people not there who will be foremost in Jenkin’s thoughts. ~ His mother, Delores, who went blind early in Jenkin’s life and never saw her son throw a base- ball. ~ His late maternal grandmother, Kathy Jack- son, who cared for Delores unselfishly for so many years. $ - Tony Lucadello, the scout who first signed the hard-throwing youngster from Chatham, Ont, and who, racked with cancer, committed suicide in 1989. ~ Jerry McCaffrey, the English teacher in Chatham who pointed out a young Jenkins to scouts and, at age 32, suffered a fatal heart attack. ~ Maryanne, his second wife and the mother of his youngest daughter, who died just three days after his election to the Hall of Fame was announced. “It’s too bad that so many people who helped me so much in my life and my career can't be there to share in the nice things that have hap- pened down the road,” Jenkins said earlier this week, The fact Jenkins, 47, has persevered th’ those tragedies is a testament to his strong will and resilient nature. It hasn't been easy — “some- times I haven't dealt with all of it too well,” he says — but he has still managed to keep his life on an even keel. SATURDAY FEATURE Maryanne’s death last December has in many ways been the hardest. She was driving back to the family home in Guthrie, Okla., from her job in Oklahoma City, a distance of about 50 kilometres, when her truck flipped three times and came to rest in a ditch. She suffered a broken neck, collarbone and two ribs, as well as a punctured lung. She was still in hospital, her condition improv- ing, when Jenkins got word Jan.8 that he’d been awarded baseball's highest honor. Three days lat- er, Maryanne succumbed to pneumonia. “That was the toughest time I’ve ever had,” Jenkins sad this week. “I just sat there and con- templated memories, I guess.” But then Jenkins heard from some of the many friends he made during his 18-year professional baseball career. He says it was those friends from the past hat helped him get over the present and look to the future. Those friends, Jenkins’s father, Ferguson Sr., and the men who helped develop his talents are the ones Jenkins wants to pay back Sunday after- noon. “Tm going to go up there with the intention of thanking quite a lot of people who helped my career, both pn and off the field,” he said from Guthrie as he finished some last-minute packing Wednesday before headi r Pp \ Jenkins won 284 major league games with the Philadelphia Phillies, Chicago Cubs, Texas Rangers and Boston Red Sod. He had seven 20- win seasons, including six in a ¥ow with the Cubs in the 1960s. He won the Cy Young Award in 1971 and pitched in three all-star games. He had pinpoint contro! and no other pitcher has ever had More than 3,000 career strikeouts and fewer than 1,000 walks. He was, quite simply, brilliant. Despite the tragedies that are inexorably linked with the Jenkins legend, those abilities let Cursed few days for Pottle in Victoria By ED MILLS Staff Writer “Crap.” Forgive her language,but Denise Pottle’s had a bad few days. After two rounds of the B.C. Ladies Amateur golf championships at Victoria’s Gorge Vale course, the 18- year-old Castlegar. golfer has a total of 176, the result of consecutive 88s Wednesday and Thursday. \ But-the one that really hurts was the under-19 provincial championships last week where she shot 84, 87 and 90. In what she called the two most important tournaments of her summer, Pottle pittled out. “Just stupid, I don’t know,” said Pottle, the disappoint- ment dripping from the phone lines in an interview Thurs- day from the home of her bil- lets in Victoria. A year ago, Pottle finished third in the provincials. This year, she doesn’t even want to know. “I’m not even positive where I finished. I just wasn't playing well. I’m not happy with it at all,” she said. And it started out go well too. Pottle tied for first in a pre- provincial event with a 75, then shot an 81 in her prac- tice round the day before the big show. ‘Suddent him play the game like no other Canadian ever has. " DENISE POTTLE lost it. “I think it’s all in my head,” she said. “I just can’t put two rounds together, a front (nine) and a back (nine). Tm just really inconsistent. I was playing good golf too.” Ironically, Pottle is billet- ing at the parent’s home of her friend Julie Colville, who won the junior provincials. “She's always been a very good friend. I'm glad she won it,” said Pottle. But it doesn’t take the sting out of her performance. “I’m very disappointed but there’s nothing you can do about it, it’s over now.” The good news, if there is any for Pottle, is that she played her final round in the amateur Friday (her score wasn’t available at press time) and returns to Castle- gar today.
