Joining them in the football shrine are Art Shell, former Oakland and Los Angeles Raider offensive tackle, and defensive-back Willie Wood of the Green Bay Packers Shell, Blount, Bradshaw and Wood have 12 Super Bowl rings between them, Each player spent his entire career with the sa ““You don’t know what it’s like to be involved with an organization” like the Raiders, said Shell, who spent his 15 years as a pro wearing the black- and-silver Raider uniform. “It’s family. Once you wear the and black, you'll always be back. You'll never be e team. silver welcomed denied,”* The 6-foot-5, 285-pound Shell played on Raider Super Bowl teams in 1977 and 1981 Shell called his induction into the NFL Hall of Fame a tribute to those who watch more than just the quarter- backs and receivers in action. ‘*I\guess this shows that there were people out there watching the line play.”” Wood, who intercepted 48 passes between 1960 and 1971 while winning two Super Bowls with the Packers, spoke fondly of his former coach, the late Vince Lombardi. “‘Lonibardi put a new meaning to the game of football,’’ he said. ‘‘He equated football with life. And now I have come to believe those things, too When the going gets tough, you have to resort back to the basics — I learned that in Green Bay. Those long days and stern talks always seem to pop up in my life.”” LOMBARDI REMEMBERED Wood humorously recalled his arrival at the Packer camp “When I first walked into the Packer camp, there was no doubt who was in charge. The first time I met Vin. ce Lombardi, he scared the hell out of me! And I’ve been shaking ever sin ce” To increase his chances of making the tough Packer team, Wood wore 10- pound weights around his ankles the day he reported for the medical and weigh-in Blount and Bradshaw shared more Stieb TORONTO (CP) — In six games involving the Toron- to Blue Jays within the past year, a pitcher has carried a no- hitter into the last inning only to have it broken up. None was so agonizingly perfect as Dave Stieb’s gem Friday night The right-hander had a perfect game going against the New York Yaukees with two out in the ninth inning. Only Roberto Kelly, a .330 hitter, stood in the way of the 15th game in major-league history in which one side was prevented entirely from reaching base. Under a closed SkyDome roof on a muggy night, Kelly stunned the Dome-record crowd -f 48,789 by lining a slider on a 2-0 count into left field for a double. He was looking for a slider and he got one after Stieb fell behind on two curve balls. “Unbelievable,” said left fielder George Bell. Kelly then spoiled the shutout-by-scoring on Steve Sax’s single. But third baseman Kelly Gruber made a diving play on Luis Polonia’s grounder to preserve a 2-1 Toronto victory : 1ISTRIKEOUTS Stieb, who has four career one-hitters, struck out 11 as Toronto moved two games behind Baltimore and one same under .500, The Yankees remained five back “*It happened. He got a hit. So what?” said Stieb, 11- 6, his black T-shirt soaked in sweat. ‘*It doesn’t matter. The win’s the thing. He had three one-hitters last season — two back-to- back on 2-2 counts with two out in the ninth. In 1985, he lost a no-hitter in the ninth on back-to-back homers. “They hit a lot of balls right at guys; it just so happens I get down to the 27th batter and he just hits it where nobody is,"’ Stieb said. “*It’sallluck."* Using a trademark slider, a vicious curve and a fast- ball, Stieb frequently had the Yankees swinging at air. **When he’s on, he’s the best,”’ said former Blue Jay Jesse Barfield, who struck out twice. “He was tiring a bit at the end, but until then he was untouchable. I’ve never faced a guy who had a slider that dominant. He had three different sliders — one broke down, one broke across and one broke away and down. He was phenomenal."” 89 PITCHES Stieb needed a paltry 89 pitches to complete the game Friday. Kelly hit pitch No. 84. After the top of the eighth inning, in which Stieb Imost perfect struck out Mel Hall and Barfield before getting Bob Geren ona grounder, most of the crowd stood to cheer wildly. With each strike in the ninth, the stands erupted. Stieb struck out pinchhitter Hal Morris on a 1-2 pitch. On pinch hitter Ken Phelps, he got two quick strikes, missed with a back-door curve ball and then struck him out swinging Then came Kelly. Clay Parker, 3-1, went six innings for the Yankees, giving up both runs on five hits. Toronto scored its run on Ernie Whitt's fielder’s choice grounder in the second and Mookie Wilson’s ground-rule double in the sixth Jays Notes: Junior Felix took batting practice and pronounced his sprained shoulder OK Rob Ducey is running gingerly on his sore knee; he’s expected to report for rehabilitation in Syracuse on Aug. 10. a August 6,199 Castlegar News NINTH-INNING SPOILERS NEW YORK (AP) — A list of no-hit bids that reached the ninth inning this major-league baseball season with date, pitcher's name, team, and player who broke up the no-hitter: April 23 — Nolan Ryan, Texas; Nelson Liriano, Toronto, one-out triple.

Lions could include a major share offer to creditors instead of a cash setlement, a source close to the negotiations said Friday And while businessman Steven Funk and rock promoter Bruce Allen refused comment on their bid, the source said the two are still studying several possible proposals to the Canadian Football League team's creditors. “There are a few options being discussed including a share offer in- stead of money,”’ the source said. ‘It’s a viable concept but it is not one that is etched in stone.’” The concept would see Funk and Allen set up a new company and issue shares for current debentures. Shareholders would then receive yearly dividends if the club madea profit But the source said a final offer to the creditors could contain a com- bination of money and shares, depen- ding on the financial situation: Funk and Allen will look at the team's financial records next Tuesday before deciding on whether to go ahead with their ownership bid. The creditors, who would have to approve any financial arrangements by Funk, Allen and partner Concert Productions International of Toronto, hold about $4.5 million of the Lions’ $8.9 million debt in debentures. “The two are confident they can reach a deal with the creditors,” the source said. “Otherwise they wouldn’t have gone ahead with the bid.”” Creditors include the B.C. Pavilion Corp., which manages B.C. Place Stadium, the Canadian Football League, the Royal Bank, individual debenture holders and a number of small businesses TEAM BOOKS Funk, who worked in real estate development before starting a mineral exploration company that eventually branched into Pacific Rim trade and investment, said he is anxious to study the Lions’ books. “All we’ ve been allowed to look at is the prepared statements prepared by the club," he said. Funk, Allen and Lions president Norm Fieldgate met Thursday and all parties signed a ‘confidentiality ad- dendum document.” It stipulates that neither the football club nor the Prospective purchasers will make public any aspect of the bid until a formal settlement has been made with thecreditors Weekend Wrap Up mak ee ISLAND DREAM . .

The thousands of different visitors from across the continent and across much of the world are unanimous in their remarks in the visitors’ books at the Castlegar Rail Station and the Zuckerberg Island Chapel House To read ‘ta wonderful project,’’ ‘‘fun,"’ “*fascinating,”’ “very interesting,” ‘peaceful’ and ‘‘it brings back so many memories,” is the greatest reward. 1 spoke for the dedicated members of the society who have dreamed the dream and for the town in general when I said “*We have saved an essential part of our history, we area very real educational, cultural, and economig force in our community, we are very much a part of our future, a part ofadream.”’ But what is a dream and what is its worth? Before 1 turn full time to the matter of completing my story, Tamar and the Dragon Tree, the joint endeavor of a history of Castlegar and district and a biography of General Burnham, | would like to talk about the larger dream of which they area part, for dreamers are the stit- ches in the fabric of society, giving it form and substan ce Thomas Bloomer, train engineer and one of Castlegar’s earliest pioneers, wag a dreamer who saw this “name ona water tower" translated into the garden place he called Southwood. The Castlegar Railway Station was more than just a railway depot to the station masters It was a community centre with a sunken garden show and tennis court installed by volunteer labor and en joyed by Castlegar citizens The Robson ferry was not just-another link in the public highway system, a pawn to be kept or discar ded on a whim by those who know the price of everything and the value of nothing. It, too, remains a part of the essential fabric of this entire community Zuckerberg Island Heritage Park and its unique Chapel House is the very embodiment of a dream and the determination to see its fulfilment. It and the rail station represent the outlay of considerable movement in public and private funds and, more important, a far greater investment in private time and effort the dreams of a people And what is this dream worth? I don’t know, but it is time for the benefit of the cost-accountants, public servants and concerned citizens that we had some idea Let us start with the island clearing and landscaping Eight years ago, some fargjggted members of Castlegar city council voted to i island and foreshore property — about seven acres — from the Zuckerberg heirs for $125,000, for a park. With a provincial grant of one third of this, the actual cost was aboug $83,333 The city then posted the area with a number of ‘no trespassing, private property’’ signs. This effectively kept out the law abiding citizens and enabled the vandals to complete what 20 years of neglect had started In January 1983, the Castlegar Rotary Club ob- John Charters Reflections and recollections tained permission to initiate a park project on the island, obtained a Federal Youth Works grant for four college students and put up a $5,000 sponsor guarantee President Wilf Sweeney and I were placed in charge of the project. After considerable preparation and reassuance to the union, the crew started. The opening sentence of my May 11, tions and Recollections column reads ‘The dream is one.’ Genesis. After 25 years of dreaming, needling and writing, the dream has started to become a reality. On Monday of this week, Zuckerberg Island took the first step of a thousand-mile journey to becoming a park — a miniature Stanley Park-type park in which to walk, sit and restore one’s soul. and restore one’s soul. By the time they had finished 34 weeks and two summers later, they had a total of 5,440 hours of landscaping on the island This work was carried on with help from the Katemaviks World Youth Community Service workers and others for about 1,200 hours and another 1,200 man hours with the Castlegar and District Development Board and 120 hours by Rotary Club volunteers, If we allow 300 hours to gardens-supervisor Verna Keraiff and 300 hours to naturalist/landscape supervisor Doris Sweeney, we are probably in the ball park Total for clearing and landscaping of the island — a minimum of 8,500 hours — not counting supervision of donated time 1983, Reflec- Closkey to represent Castlegar Judi Closkey will represent Castlegar in the upcoming Miss In terior of B.C.
