Four years after losing his leg to cancer, Terry Fox began his Marathon of Hope — his dream of running across Canada to raise money for cancer research and raise awareness about the disease generally. Fox didn’t finish his run because the disease he was battling took his life after he had reached about the halfway point of his run — but not before he raised close to $25 million. Last year, over $7 million was The 10th anniversary of the Terry Fox Run will be celebrated in Castlegar and area witha variety of activities on Sept. 16. cosnews photo raised in 2,375 run sites in Canada. This year, more than half a million Canadians are expected to participate in the run. To date, the Terry Fox Run Fund has generated $85 million for cancer research. In Castlegar,’ 10- and five-kilometre fun runs will -be held along with aerobics classes and swimming at the Complex. Activities begin at 10 a.m A minimum pledge of $2 is being asked with all the proceeds going to the Terry Fox Run. Pledge sheets are being circulated in various locations in Castlegar.

Lions. Four straight CFL losses, the latest a 49-19 thrashing by the Toronto Argos, created an uneasy atmosphere in the Lions camp “Of course I’m not a happy man,” said B.C. owner Murray pezim. “‘Something is going to have to be done."" The flamboyant — and often un- predictable — Pezim left the game with 10 minutes remaining after reporters grilled him about the status of head coach Lary Kuharich and general manager Joe Kapp. A week ago Pezim threatened to fire the duo. Since then the Lions have lost by 25- and 30-point margins to the Argos “Yes, I think there will be some changes,”’ added Pezim as he depar- “Something’s wrong. I have to do something about it. I will listen to the fans. That’s who I have to please.”” Pezim appointed Kapp last November after the dismissal of general manager-coach Joe Galat. Kapp hired his friend Kuharich away from the Calgary Stampeders Kuharich handled himself with remarkable aplomb after the game, considering his “history of volatile outbursts in pressure situations. “I'm frustrated, embarrassed and disappointed — all of those things come to mind,’’ Kuharich said. ‘‘It’s tough to accept, but I never give up. ““Big plays continue to haunt us on defence. This is a passing league and the focus is on the secondary.” 5 players looking to make step up By ED MILLS Staff Writer Five local hockey players are looking to break into the Junior A ranks this season. Defencemen Chris Postnikoff and Kevin Rilcof, and forward David Vecchio, all of whom played in Junior B for the Castlegar Rebels in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League last season, were in- vited to the training camp of the Ver- non Lakers of the B.C Junior Hockey League Rebels’ goaltender Matt Kolle, who was at the Rebels’ first workout when training camp began at the Community Complex last Tuesday, said he'll be trying for a spot on the BCJHL team in Quesnel And David Green, who played for the KIJHL’s Rossland Warriors, a team that folded over the summer, was also invited to the Lakers’ camp and to the camp of the new Penticton franchise in the BCJHL Green, who was cut from the Rebels last season then went on to lead the last-place “Warriors in scoring, opted for Penticton and is still in the camp. The players were selected after they participated in the Lakers rookie camp three weeks ago. While wishing them all the best of luck, Castlegar Rebels president Russ Rilcof wouldn't cry very long if none of the players, including his son, made the Junior A teams. “Sure it would hurt us because it would be tough to replace local talent. If any of those players make it, then we're going to have to go and get players of equal ability from somewhere else."" Rilcof will be in Vernon on Sunday to take a look at the players when Penticton meets the Lakers in an exhibition game Meanwhile, just under 25 players responded to the Rebels training camp at the Complex. Rilcof said more players are ex- pected as Junior A teams make their final cuts over the next two weeks. Canucks hopefuls preparing VANCOUVER (CP) — Free agents Bob Mason and Bobby Dollas will at- tend the training camp of the Van- couver Canucks seeking NHL con- tracts. Mason, a goaltender, and Dollas, a defenceman drafted in the first round sevca years ago.by the Winnipeg Jets, reported Friday for medicals at the University of British Columbia. The Canucks open their training camp Saturday at Memorial Arena in Victoria and will break Sept. 14. “‘It's good to have some veterans in camp looking for jobs,"’ Canuck coach Bob McCammon said Thur- sday. ‘‘It should make for interesting competition.”” Mason, 29, played 16 games in the NHL last season for the Washington Capitals with a goals-against average of 3.50. He was not re-signed by the Caps in the off-season The Canucks will have nine goaltenders in camp, including veteran Kirk McLean, who appeared in a league high 63 games last season Dollas, 25, spent most of the 1989- 90 season with the Canadian team af- ter his release by the Quebec Nor. diques. Also attending the Vancouver camp will be two teenagers from Czechoslovakia — centre Peter Nedved and defenceman Jiri Slegr.

There is a sense that they’ve been there before and, in fact, most of them have. Many of those who sit in CFL offices across the country remember the spiralling salaries, the shallow © talent pool, the lure of the ime that characterized th USFL's short attempt to play a fall classic in the spring ‘\ Little wonder they're sizing up the WLAF with the same trepidation that they did in 1983 when the United States Football League tried to seize its slice of the pie. The WLAF is scheduled to open training camps in March 1991, fielding teams in 11 cities (and another to be named later) across the world, including Montreal, four American cities, Milan, London and Barcelona. The SATURDAY FEATURE championship game is scheduled for June 9. The WLAF isn’t like the USFL. It has been sanctioned by the NFL, funded by 26 of the 28 teams as a farm system to develop and train players. It has an old Pro at the helm in the venerable Tex Schramm, late from 29 years with the Dallas Cowboys It has a television contract with ABC and USA Network worth an estimated $50 million U.S. And it has the CFL worried “We've already lost a kid who was a Detroit (Lions) cut,”” says Steve Goldman, head coach of the Ottawa Rough Riders. ‘‘He Said he was going to try the world league. He wanted another (NFL) shot and figured that was the way to do it. I think the league is going (o have an impact."’ So does Mike McCarthy, general manager of thie Toronto Argos. “It willaffect our import talent pool,”” says McCarthy, who was director of player personnel for the Chicago Blitz of the USFL. ‘‘There won't-be as many quality people available."’ . “I'm not so concerned about who we might not get as who we might,"’ says Hugh Campbell, Edmonton Eskimo general manager who spent one year as head coach of the USFL's Los Angeles Express. “Most . . . will be players who probably were final cuts in NFL camps. Obviously, there are going to be other sources,’’ Bob Rose, WLAF vice-president of communications said recently. ‘Certainly, we'll be signing college seniors who choose to come into our league, as well as free agents from the CFL."’ . CFL general managers, doing what they can with a $3-million salary cap, are also concerned that a bullish Q player’s market will see salaries increase Says McCarthy: **The biggest impact of the USFL was on salaries. They went up by $20,000 a man in the CFL.” “They say they're going to keep a ceiling on salaries but that’s what we said in the USFL,"” says Campbell, whose Express had a $40-million quarterback on the payroll “We did for about six months. Then look at what happened.” The new league intends to keep salaries reasonable within the league Players will be signed to a league contract that doesn't stipulate where they'll play. A player draft distributes the talent to teams in San Antonio or Frankfurt. The idea is to avoid competition for players between the NFL and WLAF as well as between WLAF franchises.
