Coe beats college bell

ENGLAND (AP)
The ancient college clock shimed
noon, the race began and it was
Chariots of Fire all over again.

Only this time, Sebastian Coe
played winner Harold Abrahams and
Steve Cram was loser Lord Lindsey.

Coe and Cram, two of Britain's
most illustrious modern-day athletes
who have set a stream of world
records between them, staged a high

Watched by Prince Edward,
youngest son of Queen Elizabeth II
and approximately 1,500 other spec

the Great Court Run of the film
Chariots of Fire, racing in the
autumn sun against the peeling bells
of Cambridge's famed Trinity Coll-

History says that only one man had

as a Cambridge student and went on
to win the 400-metre hurdles in the
Olympic Games the following year.

Burghley was the model for the
fictional Lord Lindsey character
played by Nigel Havers in the Oscar-
winning movie. It shows Lindsey
outrun by Abrahams who nips the
nobleman just as the last chime

Abrahams, played by Ben Cross in
the film, goes on to overcome

anti-semitic feelings and win a gold
medal in the 100 metres at the 1924
Olympics.

Coe turned up for Saturday's
re-run dressed in the same old-fash-

hams in the movie, a long-sleeved
blue and white striped shirt and
knee-length white shorts. Cram wore
modern gear.

“Gentlemen you start at the first

SPOKANE, WASH. (CP) — Butch
Goring has been fired as coach of the
Spokane Chiefs, the principal owner
of the Western Hockey League club
said this week.

Vie Fitzgerald said the decision
was made because of the team's poor
performance this season — Spokane
is 2:9 — and the size of Goring’s
contract. Fitzgerald did not release
the terms of Goring’s contract. He
said the decision was in the best
interests of the hockey club and the
fans.

Green scores twice

By CasNews Staff

Castlegar's Travis Green scored
twice for the Spokane Chiefs Friday
night, but it wasn’t enough as the
Portland Winter Hawks downed the
Chiefs 9-5 in Western Hockey League
play.

Troy Mick led the Winter Hawks
with five points.

The teams were tied 3-3 after one
period before James Black put a
power-play shot behind Spokane
goalie John Colvin and Portland took
control of the game.

Colvin was eventually replaced by
Jamie McLennan after stopping 22 of
29 shots.

Terry Black, Dennis Holland and
James Black scored two goals each
for Portland while singles came from
Shaun Clouston, Calvin Thudium and
Mick.

Goaltender Eric Badzgon got his
third win in as many starts. Kevin St.
Jacques, Rob Friesen and Milan
Dragicevic had one goal each for
Spokane.

ROTARY KIDS,
GHOSTIES AND
HALLOWEEN

From ghoulies and ghosties and long leggedy
beasties and things that go bump in the night, Good
Lord deliver us. — Old Scottish Prayer

Each year about this time the current Castlegar
Rotary International Exchange students come to our
house for lunch — Halloween lunch. It is a
celebration which is completely foreign to most of
them — with the exception of Susan Ross, our
longtime neighbor and friend who rounded up the
guests.

Gabriela Cano, our newest pretty visitor from
Tabasco, Mexico (remember the ebullient Nellie?);
Kazuo Kihara from Tokyo, Japan; Metti Lavridsen
from Vejle, Denmark; and Michael Lalor from
Durban, South Africa are all strangers to this
Canadian-American custom inherited from the Celts.

In the ancient Geivic calender in which the last
day of October was .he New Year's Eve, all the
witches, warlocks, and-spirits of Wrong-doers of that
year were allowed one last fling to do wrong or be
bribed not to. (“Trick or treat.”) On the introduction
of Christianity this ominous evening became the
evening before the day when all the saints (i.e. All
Hallows) were revered. The evening before All
Hallows became All Hallows evening. Clever, those
early Christians.

It is a bit difficult trying to hold an evening
ritual at high noon but the symbols were there along
with the internationalism, and Bunny loves to set a

Reflections
and
recollections

pretty maiden from Tabasco, Mexico, (no one will
forget our vivacious Nellie). She has two brothers,
Roque and Carlos and one sister, Beatriz. Her father,
also Roque, is a lawyer and mother Lucrecia is a
homemaker. She lists her favorite sports and hobbies
as basketball, drawing and, surprisingly, since she is
slim as a willow, weightlifting. She looks to a career
in chemistry.

‘ Metti, also 17, whom I met in August at the
airport, stays with Jane and Len Lippa. She has two
brothers, Martin and Madspeter. No sisters. Father
Bjarne is a veterinarian and mother Uti is a
secretary. Like so many European and. Asian
students, Metti’s last year's list of school subjects
lean heavily to academic subjects and at least two
foreign languages. She is still carrying a good load at
SHSS but has added Family Management 11 and 12
and Automechanics. She favors the individual sports
of gymnastics, swimming; running and biking. Her
future plans include “become a doctor and (in capital
letters) SEE THE WORLD.”

Kazuo, like our former vivacious Japanese
student, Kinu, is from Tokyo, and has one brother,
Masao. Father Yusuke is a businessman and mother
Kiyoko a h . His Castlegar parents are the

table: pumpkin lanterns (American — The Headh
Horseman of Sleepy Hollow); black tablecloth with
orange placemats and napkins (medieval symbols for
embers and flames of hell); black makasa goblets
(Japanese). We were fresh out of blood so had to
settle for orange juice or milk

There were hors d'oeuvres of cocktail sausages
in soy sauce (Japanese and dark again); lasagna and
salad (Italian) and you can use your own imagination
for the symbolism. Lunch was eaten on black and
white Royal Dulton plates (English with a circular
sympbol for eternity) and plum ice cream sundaes
were eaten with a long spoon (“who dines with the
devil should use a long spoon” or so goes the old
warning).

There were gifts as well, for Sandan, the Celtic
Lord of Death, Shooda the shiny, black 21-year-old
cat arrived to play the devilish witches’ familiar or
evil spirit lover. Not much one can do in an hour's
lunch-break.

I'm afraid that I totally stunned our young
guests by handing them a “Who am I?" sheet with
their hors d’hoeuvres. But since part of the purpose
of this gathering was to introduce them quickly to
both local customs and the community in the shortest
time, we had to give precedence to hurry. And, who
indeed are there students?

Gabriele, 17, whose host parents are Lorne and
Ruth Trickey, is our latest arrival. She is the second

Theron Isfelds. Since he is looking to a career as an
architect, his school subjects last year and this
reflect the demands of that particular discipline —
Computer Study, Algebra, Electronics, Drafting,
Woodwork and others. He'll have lots of outlet for his
hobbies: skiing, football (American), mountain
climbing, swimming, fishing, basketball, and a first
for me —stargazing.

Michael, 18, is a personable and outgoing
student and I deeply regret the press of events
which have kept me from seeing more of him during
the past 10 months. He came here at the beginning of
this year, the end of the school term in countries
below the equator, and leaves us in January. He is
presently with the Dan Campbells and finishes his
stay with Jim and Ann Gouk as his Rotary parents.
Doubtless his mother, Ann, a shipping company
manager is waiting to give him a warm welcome. He
goes for team sports — rugby and basketball — and
“keeping in shape.” Looks it too. He is another
would-be world traveller with a career in teaching or
polities. He should make a go of all of them.

These young people may not know much about
Halloween but they all have their sights set on living
life to the full, making new friends, and acting as
ambassadors for their own countries. I wish them
every success and happy experiences, especially on
Halloween.

“BEGGARS CAN BE CHOOSERS”

(Jericho News Release) — Not
since the walls of our fair city came
tumbling down has there been such
excitement in metropolitan Jericho!
The reason for the tie-up in traffic
yesterday afternoon was the Jesus
convoy! Hundreds of people have
joined the popular religious teacher
as he makes his journey to Jerusalem
to celebrate the Passover.

One of our local reporters assigned
to cover the Jesus convoy noted that
yesterday there was an interesting
incident involving a blind beggar
Apparently the beggar kept shouting
for the rab! attention. The crowds
surrounding the teacher had initially
attempted to stiffle the heckler, but
ultimately Jesus himself heard the
beygar’s desperate cry, “Jesus, Son

of David, have mercy on me!”
Immediately the rabbi demanded
that the formerly unfeeling crowd
bring the beggar to him so that he
could determine what was troubling
the man.

Always straight-forward, the
teacher asked the blind beggar:
“What do you want me to do for
you?”

Imagine asking a beggar what he
wants! To the astonishment of the
crowd the beggar did not ask for any
hand-outs, not a cent. Instead he
asked Jesus to restore his sight.

Without delay Jesus granted him
his wish replying, “Go your way;
your faith has made you well.” The
crowd rejoices noisily at what they
had seen and the beggar rejoiced be-
cause he could see.

All praised God. But the real
miracle was the fact that the blind

beggar chose to be healed rather
than simply to be pitied with money
He had not asked for superficial help,
but wanted his entire life changed
The other part of the miracle was
that many in the crowd discovered
that real religion involves being in
struments of God's healing and love
Jericho was really rocked by
Jesus’ visit. Residents feel that he
truly exposes us to the love, power
and truth of God. Already citizens
are petitioning local leaders for a
return visit of this incredible man.
Rich and poor alike have been
heard saying things like, “Well, if he
can cure blindness and greed there is
no telling how much he can help me!”
Many in Jericho have learned
clearly that, with Jesus’ help, even
beggars can be cHoosers of a better
life. Have you? (article based on
March 10:46-52 RSV)

NEW TRAIL CAMPUS

Women tour college

The Greater Trail Community
Centre was the setting for the Sep:
tember meeting of the Trail and Dis
triet University Women’s Club.

Members were given a glimpse of the
difficulties faced in divoree. They
both spoke at length on wills with
Piket underlining the enormous
difficulties for children with the pre
mature deaths of their parents
without wills.

Ghilarducei demonstrated her

was also the annual meeting, Flor
ence Laycock was weleomed as a new
member.

Members answered roll call with
donations of clothing to be sent to
the Queen Alexandra Hospital in
Victoria to be used in the new
psychiatric ward.

The cultural convener gave a short
talk on the artist Ted Harrison and
showed some examples of his work.
Harrison lives and works in the
Yukon and his works are recogniz
able from the bright colors he uses
and his distinctive style. His books
are available at the local library.

Helen Leduc gave a report on the
opening of the Greater Trail Com.

Marge Brownlie’s health and wel
fare report told of the value of water
in maintaining good health. She said
the fact that a person may drink

many cups of tea or coffee each day
cannot be counted as a substitute for
water, since both tea and coffee tend
to act as a diuretic. A person should
try to drink at least four eight-ounce
glasses of water a day and more if
possible for optimum health, she
said.

Murial Heagy’s’loan cupboard re-
port showed that this service is still
active and that several donations
have been received. The use of the
cupboard articles is made available to
local residents free of charge. Pres.
ent equipment available from the
loan cupboard includes wheelchairs,
crutches, walkers, urinals, bedpands,
bathtub bars and raised toilet seats
and commodes. The phone number
for the free use of these is 365-8109.
