Kootenay All-Stars play the Recreational League All-Stars in a warm-up game Preparing the Kootenay All-Stars for their match Wednesday against the visiting Montreal Old Pros at the Community Complex CowtewsPhoto Bears picked to win By The Associated Press Miami Dolphins try to become only the second team this decade to play in consecutive Super Bowls and Chicago Bears attempt to take another step toward the National Football League title many observers feel they'll win as the American and National conference playoffs resume today. The Bears will play host to Los Angeles Rams for the National Football Conference title at Soldier Field in Chicago while the Dolphins meet New England Patriots at Miami's Orange Bow! for the American Football Conference crown. The Chicago-Los Angeles game begins at 12:30 p.m. EST and will be televised nationally by CBS. The Dolphins-Patriots game begins at 4 p.m. EST and will be shown by NBC. While the pressure is on everyone, more seems to be on the Bears who finished 15-1 during the regular season and then beat New York Giants 21-0 in the NFC semifinal game last week. Ever since the Bears’ 44-0 rout of Dallas Cowboys for their 10th victory in a row, there has been a feeling in Chicago and around the NFL that no team can stop the Bears’ combination of an overpowering turnover-producing defence and an opportunistic offence. ‘The assumption that the Bears will win the Super Bow! makes a few of their players nervous. “Nothing is promised to you, I can attest to that,” said running back Walter Payton who remembers Chicago's 23-0 loss to San Francisco in the NFC title game last season. Quarterback Jim McMahon missed the game with a kidney injury and was replaced by Steve Fuller. “When we lost last year, I kept thinking, nine more years,” said Payton. “My body can't take that. “Tl be too old. I'll be a two-foot running back.” Chicago is a 10-point favorite over Los Angeles, which blanked the Cowboys 20-0 last week as Eric Dickerson ran for a playoff-record 248 yards. The Rams will need more than Dickerson against Chicago's defence and Los Angeles quarterback Dieter Brock was only six-for-20 for 50 passing yards last week. The Rams actually reached Chicago ahead of the Bears, flying in Thursday to accli Ives to the her, while the Bears stayed in their winter retreat at Suwanee, Ga., where they've practised the last two weeks. At Miami, the Dolphins will be seeking to get into position to atone for last season's 38-16 Super Bow! loss to San Francisco. The only other team this decade to go to two straight Super Bowls is Washington, which beat Miami in 1982 and lost to Los Angeles Raiders the next season. They've played the Patriots twice this season, losing 17-18 in New England, then winning 30-27 at the Orange Bow! in a game that represented New England's 18th straight loss at Miami. But both teams are playing down that streak. “We are not concerned about what happened in the past,” Miami coach Don Shula said. “We are worried about now and tomorrow.” The Patriots, who beat New York Jets 26-14 in the AFC wild-card game before upsetting the Raiders 27-20 last week, are seeking to become only the third wild-card team ever to qualify for the Super Bowl.

Public Skatin, < Skating day night in a Castlegar John ‘Charters . . - Reflections & recollections OF ALEXANDER ZUCKERBERG A number of readers have asked for the Heritage '85 Award story on Alexander Zuckerberg and I am happy to run it for them in this column. However, before I do, there is a little background story which must come first. For as long as I can remember, Mr. Zuckerberg had a number of framed prints hanging on the livingroom walls of the chapel house. Two of these were his particular favorites which interested me greatly and, I learned recently were paintings by the famous Russian impressionist Isaac Ilyich Levitan (1860-1910). One of these pictures featured a tiny island with a small, onion-domed Russian Orthodox chapel of long construction in the foreground, a broad river in the middle distance and low hills in the background. To one side was a little cemetery. This painting is called Beyond Eternal Peace and I am convinced it is the inspiration for the present chapel house and its location. The second picture is of a bridge leading to « small island on which again is an onion-domed church. ‘He left Russia with his wife and family in 1920 under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles’ The man who painted these pictures is described as one “who dramatized the commonplace” whose “work is imbued with the landscape of mood in which the states of nature are interpreted as the. changing states of the human soul.” He was one of the most influential of Russian landscape painters, a mystic, and greatly admired by Mr. Zuckerberg. ‘The pictures are essential, therefore, both to the restoration of the house and to an understanding of its builder, and I have spent several fruitless years in attempting to replace them. Last summer, however, we had a visitor from V . ID. ih of the C ii Branch of the UBC library, who saw the relationship between pictures and island and promised to send copies of the missing pictures. They arrived recently and are now being framed courtesy of the-A Taste of Art frame gallery and will be hung as before on the walls of the restored house for the better understanding of its visitors. And now on with the Zuckerberg story. “Your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.” Joel 2:28 He was already 70 years old when I first met him, yet he looked both older and younger. His hair and beard, for example, were quite white, yet full and neatly trimmed. His back was bent and his legs bowed by a bout with osteomyolitis which had almost killed him years before, but he rode everywhere, up hill and down, on his ancient black English bicycle. There were wrinkles on his face but they were located only at the corners of his twinkling, . ZUCKERBERG’ . . rich in friends intelligent eyes and they were wrinkles of laughter. He was a wise and practical man and his advice, when asked for, was full of humor and good solid common sense, yet he was an idealist and a dreamer, and it is of these dreams, I wish to write. ‘As an emigre who had lost practically everything in Russia after the revolution he had come with his family to Canada with almost nothing, but when he died he was rich in works and friends and dreams. His name was Alexander Feodorovitch Zuckerberg; ‘Alexander Feodorovitch’ to his Russian friends and pupils, ‘Mr. Zuckerberg’ to we others and he was born in Estonia in 1880 of early German stock (Zuckerberg means “sugar mountain” in German). When he was still young his family moved to an estate near St. Petersburg (now Leningrad). Here he took a degree in civil engineering but spent most of his life teaching children and adults, with or without pay. He left Russia with his wife and family in 1920 under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, and after considerable wandering built a home in Vancouver, where he worked as a cabinet maker. But the love of teaching was in his blood, so when in 1930 Peter Verigin Il (‘the Cleanser’), leader of the Doukhobors, invited him to come to teach the community children, as required by law, he moved to the then tiny community of Castlegar in southcentral British Columbia. Here at the confluence of the Kootenay and Columbia rivers he found a small island, to be known to later generations as Zuckerberg Island, and fell in love with it. The island, well known to the local children as a special play place, had been used for hundreds — some say thousands of years — as a fishing winter camp site by the Lakes Tribes of the Interior Salish Indian people until the early 1900's. The first white man to discover it was explorer David Thompson who had camped near the mouth of the Kootenay River in 1811 and recorded it on his charts. Unfortunately, when the CPR surveyed the area for the INFLUENTIAL PAINTING . . . This painting by Russian impressionist Isaac Levitan called Beyond Eternal Peace, is believed to be the inspiration for Castlegar townsite near the turn of the century, the island was omitted from the survey maps. Therefore, when Alexander Feodorovitch, to give him his usual Russian name, wrote to Victoria with an offer to buy it, he was told that since the island did not appear on the maps, it did not exist. On the other hand, the correspondence went on with impeccable bureaucratic logic, if the island did exist, then it must be crown land and he couldn't buy it. He could lease it, though, at a nominal fee for 99 years. As a phi I of all he refused the offer and after 20 years of dogged negotiation, and after having it surveyed at his own expense, (thereby bringing it back into legal existence), he bought it. In the interval, he had built two houses on the island. The first was a small high-peaked, one-man log cabin of unusual design in which he lived for the first several years. The second, built in 1935 and now called the chapel house, is constructed of mitered logs and has a Russian-style cupola, carvings, and a decorative exterior. It is reminiscent of the small, Russian Orthodox country chapels of Old Russia and is unique in B.C., if not in Canada. It was — and still is — a point of greatest interest to visitors. It was of even greater symbolic importance to its crestor, who though a staunch Canadian, retained strong ties with his homeland and is an intimate expression of the man himself. He also cleared some of the land on the island for orchards, vegetable and flower gardens, and a rye field. Again, this latter has a certain symbolic or philosophical significance, for he had come under the influence of Count Leo Tolstoy, the great location. i Russian novelist, reformer and time, to satisfy his artistic bent, he carved several women out of stumps, one of which still remains. He was, in brief, a true eccentric gadfly to local councils, government on behalf of the arts, women, children and social unfortunates. in the best sense of the word.
