WADE ANDERSON tourist businesses that have suffered because of the Expo 86 “magnet” should be com pensated indirectly by public funds and by Loto 649, says Jim MeNeil, provincial leader of the Progressive Conserv ative party. Speaking at the opening of Okanagan North candidate Shirley Spiller's campaign office, Jim McNeil said that, contrary to expectations, Expo actually caused a loss of tourism revenue to other parts of the province. That loss should be “recognized as a legitimate cost of Expo.” He rejected direct grants to tourist operators but said a portion of the money raised through Loto 649 should be spent on tourism promotion for Interior and Northern regions. McNeil also said that a portion of the toll revenue from the Coquihalla Highway should be committed to simi. lar promotion campaigns for Customer Appreciation Day. . .

Both boats have 3-4 won-lost records. Blackaller said USA, which has rudders fore and aft of the keel and a highly sophisticated underbody, is ex tremely tough to sail. “Sailing USA is a lot like instrument flying.” Blackaller said. “It offers no feedback at the present time “We're trying to build feedback into the system.” An amateur race driver, Blackaller said at times USA handles like a sports car that spins out “Thank goodness there are no walls out on the course. Asked what happened with USA's spinnaker ripped after rounding the third windward mark, Blackaller said a gybe-spinnaker set is the most difficult manoeuver on a 12-metre boat “I believe the spinnaker went into the water just before it was hoisted he added.
