Local business changes

By BONNE MORGAN

Writer

A local real estate business has a new owner
The staff and office equipment of Strand and Mosby

Realty Ltd. moved into the old Shell gasoline station on
Columbia Avenue last month and are operating as
Castlegar Realty Ltd. under the ownership of Wayne
McCarthy and Brad Walsh.

McCarthy says he and Walsh, who also awn another
real estate business in Invermere, bought Strand and
Mosby Realty Co. last year because it was already
licenced. They then changed the name to Castlegar

Realty.

“We did the buy out and switch,” says McCarthy
Former Strand and Mosby owner Ralph Strand is

still at Castlegar

Realty handling appraisals and

commercial real estate, says McCarthy
McCarthy says they have a five-year lease and are

hoping to buy the building.
In a few short month:

s they have renovated the

garage and car wash owned by Shell Canada into office
space. Part of the space is sublet to H and R Block,

Investor Syndicates Ltd. and Ryder Truck Rentals.
“It was just a big open garage,” McCarthy said.
The parking lot is going to be paved at the end of the

month and the parts of the building's exterior are to be

resided and stained, said McCarthy.

There is still one part of the old garage to be
changed.

“We have one end bay ‘eft that needs to be
renovated.”

Castlegar Realty has had a few offers, but won't be
renting to just anybody.

“We wanted something that is going to conform with
the businesses that are here now,” McCarthy says.

McCarthy says Castlegar Realty is doing very well.

‘The company in its first year under Strand Realty sold

$4 million worth of real estate.”

McCarthy says the whole area had an excellent year
in real estate, as real estate is on the upswing.

But he says Castlegar Realty is understaffed and
intends to expand its number of licensed realtors.

“We have five people taking the course that will be
licensed within a year,” he says.

OTTAWA (CP) — Food
prices should rise by two per
cent this year, less than half
the increase last year, the
Agriculture Department said
Tuesday.

The increased value of the
dollar as well as cheaper pork
and chicken will be major
ingredients in the lower price
rises, the department said in
its quarterly forecast.

The forecast also said that
farm earnings might be

ightly higher than $5.27
billion predicted by depart
ment economists in a Decem-
ber outlook.

Just how much that in-
crease might be won't be
known until June, economist
Jacques Petit told reporters,

And considering inflation
and other costs, farm income
this year will be 8.3 per cent
lower than it was last year
and a lot less than farmers
earned in the late 1970s when
farm prices were high, he
said.

Meat prices for consumers
should drop in coming
months because of increased
supplies of pork and poultry.

But dairy products will
cost more because of a price
increase to farmers for milk.

Consumers may also be
spending more on_ highly
processed convenience food
and restaurant meals, the
department said.

Farmers should see con-
tinued strong beef prices and
some additional increases in
world wheat prices, which
have been rising slowly since
last year.

The asking price of the
Canadian Wheat Board for
top spring wheat will rise to
$190 a tonne from $183 a
tonne last year, but that's
still well below the 1984 price
of $249, economist Maggie
Liu told reporters.

She said world grain prices
are dictated by grain prices

Where You Belong

By GARY KINGSTON

Canadian Press

VANCOUVER — With the threatening presence of
emotional general manager John Ferguson watching —
and occasionally shouting — from the press box, the
playoff-bound but slumping Winnipeg Jets were feeling
the pressure.

Stuck for a month in third place in the Smythe
Division — unable to catch the second-place Edmonton
Oilers and in no danger of falling to fourth — the Jets
went into a tailspin.

They hadn't won in 10 games coming into Vancouver
on Tuesday, but with the woeful Canucks providing the
opposition, redemption was possible.

“It's crucial when you don't win in 10 hockey games,”
said veteran defenceman Randy Carlyle after the Jets
lifted the monkey from their backs with a 3-2 vietory on
the strength of rookie Brad Jones’ late goal. “We all know
that we have a general manager and a coach (Dan
Maloney) who are two pretty intense individuals. There
was pressure on everybody

“Hopefully, this is just a start for us and it's
building.”

The Jets, who took a period to get going against the
listless Canucks, will need to do a lot of building,
however, if they hope to advance past the Oilers in the
first round of the playoffs.

NOT WORRIED

The optimistic Maloney thinks it's possible.

“I'm not as worried about the Oilers as a lot of people
seem to believe,” said Maloney. “I think we can beat the
Oilers. To do it, we'll have to shut down the middle and
get some great goaltending.”

The Jets have met the Oilers in the playoffs four of
the past five years but are a combined 0-14 against the
Alberta powerhouse.

“We've got to go out and physically punish the
Edmonton Oilers the way we play against the Calgary

Hapless Canucks
lose to Jets

Flames,” said Maloney.

“We've got to go after them, get over the respect
factor.”

The Jets, whose No. 2-ranked power play went 0-5
with the man advantage Tuesday, also got goals from Ray
Neufeld and Paul MacLean.

David Bruce, who gave the Canucks a 1-0 first-period
lead, and Greg Adams scored for Vancouver. Adams’
power-play marker — his 35th goal of the season to tie his
career best — tied the score 2-2 at 6:42 of the final period.

The game appeared headed for overtime until Jones
scooped up his own rebound and beat Vancouver net-
minder Frank Caprice with a high wrist shot at 17:47.

CAPRICE HOT

The forgotten Caprice, making his first start in three
weeks, was outstanding. He faced 38 shots, including 21
in the final period. Eldon Reddick made 25 saves in the
Winnipeg net.

Vancouver coach Bob McCammon was disgusted
with the effort of his club, mired in last place in the
Smythe Division. The Canucks, who will lose more games
than they will win for the 16th time in 18 seasons, showed
little spark.

“We probably should have been ahead 4-0 after the
first and then we just got very happy with ourselves and
I guess we thought Winnipeg was going to roll over,” said
McCammon,

“It makes you wonder where some of their heads are.
We're a 19th place team and they know a 19th-place team
is going to look for improvement.”

McCammon was particularly incensed with some
unnamed “key people.

“Tl have to go up and check their contracts. Some of
them must have lifetime contracts the way they're going.
It's frustrating for me.”

The Canucks, with just 57 points in 79 games, close
out the season at home Friday against the Minnesota
North Stars.

OLYMPIC REMATCH

deWit beats Tillman

EDMONTON (CP — Canadian heavyweight boxing
champion Willie deWit won a unanimous 10-round decision
Tuesday night over Henry Tillman, avenging a loss to the
Los Angeles fighter in the 1984 Olympic gold medal bout.

“I was in great shape,” the native of Grande Prairie,
Alta., said after the victory, which raised his record to
20-1-1. “He wasn't in control at any time.

“He didn’t want to get in and trade them with me at any
time. All I tried to do was land some short hooks and upper.
cuts.”

Only one of the judges had the fight close as deWit won
by scores of 100-94, 98-94 and 97-95. Tillman surprised about
7,500 fans by clinching with deWit for most of the fight.

His highly touted jab was ineffective throughout,
mostly due to some superior deWit defence.

“He was supposed to dance, he was supposed to move,”
said Tillman's manager, Donald Zuckerman. “But he didn’t.”

Tillman |was the only marked fighter after 10 rounds
and missed the post-fight news conference, leaving for.

hospital to get stitches over his right eye for a cut that came
from a head butt with just seconds left in the fight.
TILLMAN UPSET
“I'm very disappointed I couldn't get myself going,”
Tillman said before leaving the Edmonton Coliseum. “I
fought Willie's fight, I didn’t fight mine.”

There was talk a loss by deWit would have seen him
retire from boxing but he appeared relieved after the
vietory.

“The main thing was to just go out and win,” deWit said.
“I felt I had to scrap, to be mean and rough. I felt like I was
in control.”

There wasn't as much pressure on deWit heading into
the fight as there was in 1984 in Los Angeles, when he lost a
5-0 decision to Tillman, he said.

In the second round, deWit landed his trademark hooks
to the body early and hurt Tillman with a left-hook,
right-uppercut combination

New York Yankees return to

‘Billy Ball’ in

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (CP) — A half hour before
a recent exhibition game against the Baltimore Orioles, not a
creature was stirring in New York Yankee clubhouse, not
even a Steinbrenner.

Billy Martin, the manager back for his fifth term as
ringmaster, is supervising a tame spring training for the
usually controversial American League baseball team.

Martin last left the post in September 1985 after fights
on consecutive nights in a Baltimore hotel, the second
against a Yankee pitcher. Two seasons later, the newlywed
Martin wants to keep the focus on baseball.

Excluding the feud between Dave Winfield and owner
George Steinbrenner, that’s the way it's been.

Putting Steinbrenner and Martin together again would
seem as wise as mixing nitroglycerine and dynamite, but
Martin claims to be ready for it.

“There may be times where George doesn't like what he
sees, maybe he doesn’t like my lineup,” Martin said. “But I'm
going to handle it.

“Instead of getting mad, I'm going to go into his office
and talk about it. I don’t have that fear. I'm not going in with
any fear of losing my job.”

YANKEES LIP

The Yankees were cripped last year by injuries to
captain Willie Randolph, offensive sparkplug Rickey
Henderson and run-producer Don Mattingly.

They began wilting in late August and slipped finally
into hibernation with a fourth place finish, nine games back
of the Detroit Tigers in the East Division.

To add depth and repair weaknesses in the lineup,
general manager Lou Piniella went shopping.

Jack Clark, over from St. Louis free agent, will bat
clean-up behind Henderson, Randolph and Mattingly. Then
there's Winfield and Mike Pagliarulo, the power-hitting
third baseman.

Don Slaught from Texas does the catching; rookie
Roberto Kelly will be in centre and Rafael Santana plugs the
hole at shortstop.

Martin knows he has the run production. In addition to

pre-season

the starters, there's Gary Ward and Jay Buhner coming off
the bench.

He has three other priorities.

First, he wants to get the Yankees to stop behaving on
the field like a bunch of millionaires afraid to soil their
yachting whites.

“I want us to be aggressive,” Martin said. “Knock the
second baseman down when you have to take him out, which
we haven't done in a while the way we used to do it.”

Second is Henderson, who played only 91 games due to
a hamstring pull and questionable motivation in 1987.

“I told him I expect him to show the whole world what a
great player he is,” Martin said.

Third is pitching.

Piniella obtained Richard Dotson from the Chicago
White Sox and free agent John Candelaria, who had to deal
with severe personal problems last season.

They join 44-year-old junkball pitcher Tommy John,
13-6 last year; Rick Rhoden, 16-10; and rookie Al Leiter. Ron
Guidry, coming off rotator cuff surgery, is expected to be
ready in May.

Leiter, a left-hander, is impressing everybody,
ineluding pitching coach Art Fowler.

“He's been working with Whitey Ford,” said Fowler by
way of explanation for Leiter's success. “Give me somebody
who can throw hard, he's going to win some games.”

Fowler spoke almost in a whisper, not wishing to
disturb the serenity of the Yankee clubhouse.

A few metres away, Guidry was deeply involved with a
book. In another corner, Randolph, Winfield and Henderson
conversed quietly.

“If nobody gets hurt, we've got a good chance of
winning,” Fowler said.

All this calm could work in reverse — the old theory
about not waking the sleeping giant. The players seem to
like the about-face from the turmoil of years past.

“You know where Billy comes from and if you don't go
by the rules you go deep into the »” Randloph said.
“The nucleus of the club understands that.”

U.S. skiers wins Nor Am
giant slalom event

WHISTLER, B.C. (CP) — Ameri
can Felix McGrath won a NorAm giant
slalom Tuesday with a two-run total
time of two minutes 11.36 seconds.

McGrath, the current U.S. na
tional slalom champion and third
overall in slalom at the World Cup, was
almost a second ahead of second-place
Konrad Walk of Austria, who finished
in 2:12.33.

A second giant slalom in the North
American championship series of races
will be held again today at Blackcomb
Mountain, followed by two days of
slalom races.

The Austrian team was the
strongest Tuesday, as Guido Hinter.
seer was third in 2:12.40 and Roland
Pfeiffer was fourth at 2:12.75.

“I was happy with my team’s
performance, considering they arrived
only last (Monday) night and have

some jet lag,” said Austrian coach Hans
Unterberg. “They will go faster
tomorrow.”

Alain Villiard of Ste-Adele, Que.,
was top Canadian, finishing fifth- in
2:13.38. He had been 12th with a
1:07.32 first-run time but improved his
position with a second run of 1:06.06.

“Villiard profitted from a good
start position on the second run and he
skied a great race,” said Canadian
coach Nick Wilson.

Rounding out the top 10 were
Kyle Wieche, U.S., 2:13.43, Mathias
Berthold, Austria, 2:13.54, Anders
Lundqvist, Sweden, and Tiger Shaw,

Argos get Brazely

TORONTO (CP) — The Toronto
Argonauts have signed veteran de
fensive back Carl Brazely to a one-year
contract, the CFL club said Tuesday

“The toughest thing for a football
team to find is a good quarterback and
the next toughest thing is a good
cornerback,” said general manager Leo
Cahill. “It’s a bonus when you can get
someone like Carl. We're very
pleased.”

Brazely, 28, returns to the club
where he spent his most productive
CFL days. He collected a Grey Cup
ring and was named the defensive
player of the game in the Argonauts’
successful 1983 league championship
bid, was a double Schenley nominee in
1985 and was named to the Eastern
Conference all-star team five consecu
tive years, including four with Toronto.

The seven-year CFL veteran play.
ed with the Montreal Alouettes and the
Ottawa Rough Riders before coming to
Toronto in 1983. Last year, Brazely
jumped ship to sign with the San Diego
Chargers of the National Football
League.

The five-foot-11, 175-pound cor.
nerback was released and spent some
time with the Minnesota Vikings
before returning to play two games for

the Chargers during the NFL players’
strike.
AGE FACTOR

“The main reason (he returned to
Toronto) was that in the States he had
to compete at 28 years of age with guys
who were 21-22,” said Cahill. “He had
the talent — all the coaches down there
I talked to told me that — but (NFL)
teams want to go with the younger
guys

“He was relegated to a position
where he would have been a reserve.
Carl is an active, high-strung kind of
guy and he finally got a stomach full of
it and decided to come back where he
knew he would play.”

There has been some speculation
Brazely will bump Darnell Clash from
the starting corner position. Clash has
been slowed by knee surgery and,
under a new CFL rule adopted this
year, the Argonauts could retain the
import of their roster as a special
teams player.

“Everybody's trying to finger
Darnell Clash but it could be any
number of deep backs,” said Cahill.

Cahill said Brazely signed a
contract that “is certainly commen-
surate with what's being paid in the
CFL at-this timc. He doesn't seem dis-
