C. vay 144>— Feb! 28 elczyk ready for By BRENDAN NAGLE Staff Writer For many athletes, preparation for the Olympic Games entails an increased or altered training schedule. For downhill skier Felix Belezyk, Olympic training begins with each World Cup ski season. Belezyk, who is one of five Canadian men repre senting his country at Calgary in alpine skiing, says the Games are just “another stop on the tour.” Belezyk speaks freely of the pitfalls a downhill skier may face if he changes any part of his training specifically nd adds he hasn't changed a thing since g for the World Cup ski season in for the Olymy “It’s exactly the same,” Belezyk says when asked to compare his preparation for the Olympics to the World Cup circuit, “That's the key to my having the best results I possibly can is to keep things on the norm.” Belezyk says the World Cup ski season — with the training and work that invariably go with it — provides ample preparation for the Olympics, even though the World Cup. Olympic training run schedule differs from that of the In World Cup downhills there are usually three days Games more than that sometimes it’s unnecessary.” He says the five-day, one-run format at the Games “makes more to talk about” and says it really doesn't bother him in the least. “Just because it's the Olympics, don't go out and change everything dramatically or else then I'll be running into trouble,” he says. Belezyk says adaptability and mental preparation play an important role in preparing for any race — luding the Olympics a of of training runs where skiers will two runs and a maximum of five. The Olympic downhill training run schedule is run over five days with each skier getting one run a day, Belezyk says that if the team gets three training runs before a World Cup event “everybody's very happy — “No matter how great a skier you are if you don't have a good mental Preparation you're never going to be able to win a race,” he says. Despite his apparent coolness about the THE CASNEWS WILL BE THERE The Castlegar News will have complete on the spot coverage of Felix Belezyk’s first two races, Sunday and Monday.

Out look tied weather into the 3 Sections (A, B &C) Composing Room Foreman i: MICKEY on) Rossland’s casino bid dies By The Canadian Press The Social Credit caucus de Tuesday to turn down destinatio1 gambling casinos means the end of a dream for Rossland. “We had a proposal for a winter casino just like the one that operates in Dawson City during the summer months,” said former mayor Jackie Drysdale. “We are disappointed be- cause we feel we had a unique and a safe route for casino gambling.” But existing casino operators and anti-gaming spokesmen said they were pleased with the announcement that tourist-oriented casino will not be permitted in the province. “This decision will be good for our industry,” said Jacee Schaefer, vice- president of Great Canadian Casino Supply Co. By eliminating destination casinos, Schaefer said, the government appears to be supporting the development of charity-based gaming and horse racing. Schaefer said her firm does not believe any B.C. community outside the Vancouver area — including the Whistler ski resort area — could attract enough gambling tourists to make the economic impact worthwhile. Anti-gaming lobbyist Jim Matkin, president of the Business Council of B.C. said the caucus “made the right decision.” The Rossland proposal was one of several submissions to the B.C. Gaming Commission requesting a destination casino. Whistler also had a proposal for a resort casino, however, Mayor Drew Meredith said he is not surprised by the decision. Premier Bill Vander Zalm said the caucus decision is “somewhat contrary” to a recommendation made in the B.C. Gaming Commission report on gamb- ling tabled at a two-day caucus meeting in Powell River, north of Vancouver. The report recommends resorts be set up on a trial basis. “There will be no destination gambling resorts in B.C.,” he said. “It has been ruled out.” Vander Zalm said all - existing gambling activities in the provinee — including slot Machines 6n cruise ships, charity casinos, and bingos — will be allowed to continue until the govern. ment decides on other recommenda tions contained in the report. The full report — completed last December — will be released later this month, he said. By ruling out destination gaming, the government is not restricting the development of casinos linked to char ities, said Gary Jackson, owner of the Roya} Diamond Casino in Vancouver “Gaming revenues have become too big a commodity in the province,” said Jackson, referring to the $850 million annual revenues generated by gaming in B.C. For our industry, this means.we don't have to face what would other wise be very frightening competition,” said Merv Peters, executive director of the B.C. Jockey Club. In a brief to the premier, the horse-racing industry had said it is having a difficult enough time com. peting with lotteries. BUTTON JUDGING .. .

Pulp mill woodroom shut down By RON NORMAN Editor Celgar Pulp Co. has closed its woodroom despite requests from Castlegar council and Castlegar school board to continue running the oper ation. “It's effectively closed,” mill spokesman Bert Collier said today “We're not processing logs anymore.” Collier said a few logs may still be run through the woodroom — where the logs are made into chips — as part of a cleanup of the area. Castlegar lawyer Terry Dalton, acting on behalf of the Arrow Lakes Tugboat Society, said the closure won't affect the society's campaign to keep the woodroom operating. “We most assuredly will continue the battle,” Dalton said today. “In a sense the closure of the woodroom has given us an incentive to try harder.” Meanwhile, Ald. Terry Rogers said he is disappointed with Celgar's reply to a council request that it recon. sider the closure. In a three-paragraph letter, mill manager Wilf Sweeney said council can ‘est assured” that Celgar gave “due consideration to all the various aspects prior to making a woodroom closure decision.” Sweeney said that to the comp. any's knowledge, nothing has changed that would make it alter the decision “As managers of the Celgar Pulp Co., one of our objectives is to ensure that the operation is economically viable, that it has a continuing supply of raw materials and in so doing continues to be a stable employer.” He added that the city is “best served in the fulfillment of this ob- jective.” But Rogers responded disappointed in the brevity letter.” Rogers said council was looking for some information, but Celgar “found it unnecessary to respond to our concerns in what I consider a real meaningful way.” He said the problem of what to do about the closure and the pulp logs on Tree Farm License 23 still remains. He suggested council will have to obtain more information on the issue and might have to go “to other sources.” Ald. Len Embree agreed, saying: “We seem to be running into a bit of a brick wall.” Embree added that he hopes the senior partners in Celgar are aware of council's concerns. “I don’t know how we find that out without creating animosity locally.” Celgar is 50 per cent owned by the Chinese government with Power Corp. and Consolidated-Bathurst own ing the other 50 per cent. Power Corp. has a controlling interest in Coxsol. idated-Bathurst “T'ma little of this Embree suggested council wait for a response from the Ministry of Forests on a similar request to re consider the woodroom closure before following up alternatives. Elsewhere, Rogers said he de- livered a letter to Rita Johnston, Minister of State for the Kootenay De- velopment Region, outlining council's concerns about the proper use of pulp logs and the surplus supply of wood chips. “There is no market for the ‘more expensive’ pulp logs and I fear they will not be harvested in. accordance with public expectations and the manage- ment plan (for Tree Farm License 23),” Rogers said in the letter. He suggested public timber will not be satisfactorily harvested and the future of the forests, the community and area jobs will be “at risk.” INSIDE Lottery numbers winning numbers drown day in the Lotto West/The Pick lottery were 9. 19, 23, 27, 29, 47, 50 and 5 Olympic preview page B1 Wilson's budget page A2 Rebels on top page B2
