And it is the same O'Reilly who left a seemingly deserving Chelios off the Wales Conference all-star team he coached this ns coach, “1 don't want to talk about Terry,”’ declared Chelios, waving off the question, "I just consider the source It's part of the game.

The Finns invariably give Canada a tough game and Saturday's contest was no exception, with a turn of events-in-a-two-minute—span-of the third period proving vital in deter- mining the outcome. Finland had managed to tie it 3-3 on a slap shot by Timo Susi at 2: 16 of the final period and in the sixth minute the Finns had a 3-on-1 break Goaltender Sean Burke made the first save as defenceman Mario Marois went sprawling in an attempt to break up the rush of white and blue sweaters. Jukka Vilander picked up the rebound and snapped a, shot that Burke managed to tip, wide of the net with the shaft of his stick Two minutes later. Pat Verbeek trapped the puck behind the Finnish goal and feathered a pass to Brian Bellows who had cruised into the slot. Bellows snapped the puck into the net for a 4-3 Canadian lead at 7:36 Dave Ellett scored the winner on a power play at.40:51 on-a shot that wound its way through a crush of players jamming the front of Finnish goalie Jukka Tammi That was the big play, when Sean, made such a great save a 3-3 and then—a—couple—of minutes later Bellows scored, said Ray Ferraro, who had four-assists then spent 90. minutes after the game in doping control.

The Americans take on Sweden, Finland goes against Czechoslovakia and the Soviets meet West Germany. The top four teams after the preliminary round advance to a medal round. “TI learned from experience that losing the first game can come back to haunt you,” said Burke.

It goes as follows Once again 1 quite innocently. plucked at a loose thread and unraveled ai entire sleeve. I was at city hall on heritage hall on heritage matters and with a view of doing a story at sometime on the beginnings of Castlegar as a municipality | said to thecity clerk Betty Price: “Betty, I keep getting conflicting dates on the city’s beginnings. What are the correct dates for the Village, Townand City of Castlegar?” Betty wrote down the dates from memory, then stricken by doubts, said: “L'llcheck the’Letters Patent to make sure. They are quite handy.”’ She did, and with the help of Gwen Mason I got copies — of all 16 pages. Now, for those who are as uncertain as | am about these things, Letters Patent are not shiny, black ABC's but the instruments for bringing communities into legal existence, They are printed on legal-size sheets (8 in- ches by 14 inches), written in an archaic form, designed John Charters Reflections and recollections to confuse all but the most diligent, and are signed and sealed by-the-p al-secretary.Nonetheless, if read ED MOSBY Father of amalgamation There followed a number of changes which changed forever the-life and charactey of this quiet place: Stanley Humphries school was opened (1951), the new gas pipeline was built (circa 1957), the Celgar Mill was built (circa 1960), and the Hugh Keeleyside dam (circa 1967). The. Village of Kinnaird became a town (1968) and Selkirk College was built, to name but a few Castlegar and district was in full, if somewhat odiferous, bloom. Nineteen years tater, a second Letters Patent was issued. The format was the same but the actors had all changed. George V1 had died and Queen Elizabeth was on the throne and represented by Lt.-Gov. George Pearkes. In this particular Letters Patent, the Queen’s representative directs that the Letters Patent for the Village of Castlegar be revoked and that the carefully they give a real sense of the evolution of.our (very new) city as well as an indication of historical changes in the country Not entirely without good reason, I also got the feeling that they would make more sense and sound bet- ter if announced by a very large gentlemen dressed in a cocked hat, long coat, knee breeched, buckled shoes and _the-very-loud-voice of atown-erier_He would-first ring a large handbell to gain attention. Then, after the customary ‘‘Oyez! Oyez! Oyez!’", he would read or proclaim the message (Letters Patent) in a slow and dignified voice, ending with a mighty ‘‘God save the Queen!” Try it. You may still not understand it, but it soun- ds great. Itshould be noted at this pointthat Castlegar’s long quiet economic and waterless pre-1940s winter was at that time giving way to an economic spring under the impact of Ralph West's new water board and the root growth of the Castlegar cooperative Transportation Society. The consolidation of several small school districts into the larger Castlegar school district was an added impetus The Letters Patent states the said municipality shall be called-and known by the name and style of ‘The Corporation of the Village of Castlegar.”” It then goes on to state, among other things, that all taxes (what else?) will be collected in-a manner as provided in the act and that the revenue of the village municipality of Castlegar shall include the sum of $2,000. Furthermore, it states that Ralph Rhodes Fletcher, Otto Walker and Mark Basiedo Burnham are to be ap- pointed a Board of Commissioners until élections in December 1946, pending which time the appointees would be allowed to borrow not more than $500 for carrying on the business of the municipality. This document was then stamped and signed by Lt.-Gov C.A. Banks and Provincial Secretary George Pearson on Oct. 30, 1946. By the time | had arrived at the Castlegar C. P. Rail Station in August 1947, an election had been held with Otto Walker, Gerry Wanless and George Cheveldave in the seats of power and Harold Vickers as city clerk. The village office was located in a small building across from West's built withtumber donated by Gerry Wanless.

Then eight more years slipped by and on the 8th of December, 1973 the councils of the towns of Kinnaird and Castlegar held another poll. This produced a new Letters Patent dissolving the said towns and creating the new municipality of the "City of Castlegar Kinnaird” on Jan. 1, 1974 under joint council. 5 If memory serves me, it was not an entirely unanimous decision. The forces af change, however, now had the bit in their teeth and the then council petitioned the Minister of Municipal Affairs for supplementary Letters Patent to name and call the new municipality “The City of Castlegar.” Therefore, on the first day of March in the year of our Lord\one thousand nine hundred seventy-four, it was so ordered, In.the brief space of 28 years, Castlegar had evolved from an unincorporated rural community intoacity. One month later, on Thursday, April 4, 1974, the Castlegar News ran a front page story with a photo of the council which underneath read: “Castlegar voters on Saturday elected their ‘Father of Amalgamation Ed Mosby as the Mayor of British Columbia’s newest city."” The story-says the meeting of the City of Castlegar’s first elected council was held on April.4, 1974, The meeting was short and the spirits high with Rossland-Trail MLA Chris D'Arcy attending on behalf ‘of Municipal Affairs Minister James Lorimer, presen- ting new Mayor Ed Mosby with an amalgamation grant of $184,000 from the ministry Smiling happily in the picture are Ald. Mike Livingstone, Ald.-Jack Chernoff, Ald. Steve Jankola, D'Arcy, Rev. Terry Allen, Mosby, city clerk Allen Selbie, justice of the peace Carl Loeblich, Ald. Gerry Rust, Ald. Audrey Moore and Ald. Andy Shutek. Another front page headline indicated that the 1974 budget could exeeed-one million dollars while in- side stories marked the amalgamation of the Kinnaird and~-Castlegar- libraries; Celgar was budgeting $30 million dollars to pollution control and city and district was working towards a new swimming pool.
