B2 Castle; News __July 20, 1991 KBS reporter BOB ADDISON (left) and STEVE BOZEK By CasNews Staff Professional athletes past, present and future were at the Castlegar Golf Course Thursday afternoon for the fourth annu- al Jim Young celebrity golf tournament for charity. Here’s a selection of their comments. » JOHN BLAINE: B.C. Lions ‘Newnes from 1977-87. On what he’s doing now. “I’m teaching kids with social and beha- vorial problems at an alternative school in West Vancouver. I’ve been been doing it for the last four years.” Vancouver Canucks’ centre and Nelson product GREG ADAMS, on injuries that have plagued him over the last few years. “It’s a big part of the game and a frustrating part of the game. The last three years I’ve had‘injuries and it’s always when I’m feeling fine and playing well. They just take the steam out of you. I was playing for four years before I got an injury and now have gone three years in a row getting them. I hope I’ve got them out of the way now.” ED GEORGICA: Canucks equipment manager for the last six years who held the same position with the B.C. Lions for the six years before that. On his job. “My job’s to take care of the guys, make sure their gear is up to snuff, their skates are sharpened, et cetera, so that they don’t have to worry about anything but playing hockey. It’s a great job. It’s a lot of fun. I've met a lot of interesting people over the years.” Onetime NHL star with the Buffalo Sabres DANNY GARE. On his future. “The last few weeks I've been working with (Saskatchewan entrepreneur) Bill Hunter and his group with the the new Con- tinental Hockey Association on the Cincinnati team. I’ve been talking to the gentleman who owns (the) Cincinnati (franchise) this week and trying to put together a deal for me to be a gen- eral manager and coach there. I'll know this week.” Trail native and New York Islanders forward RAY-FER- RARO. On being traded by the Hartford Whalers last season. “Playing wise, it’s not a big deal, I'll go and play anywhere. But living is a whole new ball game. You have to uproot the family and everything and that can be tough. And you know, New York’s nothing like Hartford, and we like it there. It’s going to take some adjustment.” es - BCTV sports broadcaster JOHN McKEACHIE DAVID BRUCE: Selected as the Hockey News player of the year.in the International and American Hockey Leagues, he was Canuck draft choice in 1983 and broke into the NHL last year with the St. Louis Blues. On being grabbed in the expan- sion draft by the San Jose Sharks. “It’s going to be a good opportunity for me. I was looking for- ward to playing in St. Louis but it was a good career move for me to go to San Jose. I think I'll get to play more and when you're playing a lot you can never go wrong.” BRIAN LEFLEY: Played for the New York Islanders from 1972-74 and the Colorado Rockies from “76-78. On. what he’s doing now and what he would have liked to have done. “Tm coaching pro hockey in Switzerland. We tried like hell to sign Greg Adams last year and we almost did. Brian Burke can thank his lucky stars we fell short.” Or Flyer, V: Canuck, Chicago Blackhawk and Edmonton Oiler tough guy GLEN COCHRANE. On what he’s doing now and in the future. “I manage a Little Caesers Pizza in Maple Ridge. I just want to pursue’ this, maybe open a few stores and see where life takes me I guess. I’m enjoying this, especially the settling down, family part.” Philadel phi. P WAYNE GAMBORSKI (left) and JIM YOUNG T :y-five-year-old V: 86ers player JIM EASTON has been playing pro soccer for the last*eight years, On John Blaine. “He was my Grade 11 P.E. Teacher.” And on the 86ers, “Vancouver has to be the most stable team I know of, and not just money wise either. They have the same players come back year after year, and there’s a camaraderie there. You can’t win championships if you don’t know the guys you're playing with.” CFi, star with the Toronto Argonauts from 1981-85 and the Lions from 1986-90 JAN CARINCI, who is the only player in league history to score two touchdowns on defence and two on offence in the same game. On.his reasons for retiring. “Somebody made me a better offer. ’'m manager of promo- tions for B.C. Pavilions Corp.” Vancouver Canucks forward and Castlegar native STEVE BOZEK. On contract negotiations with the Canu: “There's no real deadline. I'm a free agent and negotiating just started. Sure I'd like to stay in Vancouver. I think the team has a good shot at having a great season next year. & have a house in Vancouver and my family’s settled there an we like it there” BCTV spor and tour emcee JOHN McK- EACHIE. On anything and everything. “I remember going to a few of these functions. I don’t remember leaving all of them. I've just had a blast every time T’ve been here, I make sure I either get my days off or my holi- days to do this. You know it was a success when everybody goes back to work Monday and the guys who missed it are the guys who are upset. That’s how you tell.” New Jersey Devil CLAUDE VILGRAIN, who spends his off-season in Castlegar visiting family of his Castlegar-born wife. On his future in the NHL. “I just want to play a full season in the NHL. I don’t care where I play. I’m still waiting for New Jersey to see if they want to sign me or not.” Tournament organizer JIM YOUNG, On being selected to the CFL Hall of Fame. “It’s especially gratifying getting something at my age (47) for something you did as a youngster. I guess it’s the ultimate honor that they can give an old has-been like me. It’s some- thing you hope for, but it’s not something you expect. It’s been so many years now I thought it was by the board. “ duly 20, 1991 Thurs., July 25 Castlegar Communtty 60% Payouts Licence No. 769067 Modern donation e cag. ort this summer. ask about Jim Browne (left), general our overdraft protection!

MURRAY GARVIN Grace Presbyterian Church I had a birthday last week. And on that day, among my mail, I found two remarkable letters. The first to be opened was a computer-generated “personal letter,” with my first name gen- erously inserted throughout it, ffom a person purporting to be “Hollywood’s Astrologer to the Stars.” I expect that some of you, who happen also to be on the mailing list I find myself on, have been fortunate enough to receive the same letter. But for those of you who aren't, let me tell you about it. She started out by saying that I am soon to come into a lot of money, that I will be happier than I have ever been in my entire life, will begin many new relationships, have more posses- sions than I ever dreamed possi- ble, and be totally free of debt and unhappiness! Wow! Then she went on to spoil it by explaining how she got my name. She said: “I jet between New York and Hollywood sever- al times a week. Recently, due to a problem on one of my flights, I-had the good fortune to stay over in your town, Slocan Park.” Boy, did she ever have a problem on that flight! Some- thing really went wrong with her astrological powers if she managed to stop over in Slocan Park en route from New York to Hollywood. I do live in Slocan Park, and I can’t imagine how her jet managed to put down here. Perhaps her pilot mistook our under-used C.P.R. line for a grass landing strip. Anyway, she went on to say that while she was here she chatted with “several very nice people” (I'd love to know who they were!) who told her about a “kind, gentle, good-hearted per- son” (me!) and she was so impressed that she took my name, some background infor- mation, and “began an ordinary astrological profile.” From this she learned about the fabulous good fortune I am about to expe- rience. Then came the catch. If I send her $24.95 she will tell me when and in what form I will be receiving my $75,000, all of my new possessions, when I will begin my new relationships, and when I will be totally free of all debt and unh landing in Slocan Park, and were inclined to feel that $24.95 might not be. too bad a price to pay for the next instalment of humor. But before I could pursue this to wealth, and happiness, I opened the sec- ond piece of mail. It was a birth- day card from a family in one of my congregations. On the front was a picture of a monk, and the caption: “Material possessions are temporal! The love of money is the root all evil! Store up your treasures in heaven where nei- ther moth nor rust doth cor- rupt!” Inside, it continued: “I know that above all you wouldn’t want me to pollute your spirituality, so I’m restricting myself to a simple card wishing you a joy- ous birthday.” I appreciated their sense of humor! I also appreciated the very timely antidote to the wish- ful thinking (I'll admit to that much) that the first letter had managed to initiate within me. Our human weaknesses make us very susceptible to temptations to material wealth, possessions, success, fame or power. None of these things. is necessarily wrong in itself. But it is frightening how easily the desire for such things can take over and become the main driv- ing force in our lives. Self-cen- tred materialism can very quick- ly take the soul out of an indi- vidual, and a society. As my birthday card remind- ed me, as Christians we are well advised to place our emphasis on spiritual values. The scrip- ture quotation on my card, from Ephesians 3:16, sums it up well: “I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being.” (NIV) Hopefully, with that kind of inner strength, I may be able to withstand the temptations placed before me by wayward astrologers who have unsched- uled lay-overs in Slocan Park.
