That is what is termed a coiling motion and if done correctly this
position will be impossible to hold for more than a few seconds, We must
emphasize that the weight transfer on the back swing is a coiling motion
where the right leg does not move, it provides a brace for the upper body

This motion is not a sway where the weight is indeed transfered to the
back foot but the right leg does not form a brace and moves right also

Once we have coiled onto the right leg properly you should feel so
much resistence in the right leg and hip that it will trigger the downswing as
a reflex. The reflex of the uncoiling motion will automatically transfer the
weight towards the target allowing the bottom of the swing to be in front

To get the feeling of this, once again imagine throwing the medicine
ball through the doorway. When you are on the practice tee try to transfer
the weight to the back foot making sure that the knee remains flexed, as in
the address position, and that the right hip neither moves towards the
target nor away from it: You should feel the resistance and the coiling that

Lions
sale bid
approved

VANCOUVER (CP) — The board
of directors of the B.C. Lions has of-
ficially approved the bid by local en
trepreneur Steven Funk to purchase
the debt-ridden CFL team.

1v'$a $5-million package of creditor
payments and future capital com-
mitments,"’ Funk said Tuesday
“That's all | can tell you about it.’”

The other members of Funk's group
are Vancouver rock promoter Bruce
Allen and Concert Productions Inter-
national of Toronto.

Lions president Norm Fieldgate said
the bid now will got to the CFL board
of governors for approval within the
next two weeks

Six of the eight CFL teams have to
approve the offer

Should the governors give their
blessingto the bid, Fieldgate said Funk
and Allen will have to strike a deal with
the Lions’ 2,000 unsecured creditors —
those who purchased debentures
issued by the team

Sources have said the bid could in
clude a major share offer to creditors
instead of a cash settlement

Revenue Canada also approved a
proposal last week would allow the
club's debts to be used for future tax
credits

“The bid was the best we could get
under the circumstances and it’s up to
the league to approve it now,’’ said
Fieldgate, a former all-star with the
Lions. **There are still somejvery small
details to be ironed out

“But that’s nat a problem .... I'm
happy with their bid because the league
won't have totake over the team.”

Forestry
project
funded

By CasNews Staff

A community forestry project spon
sored by the village of Nakusp has
received $57,420 from the provincial
government to enhance forestry work
in the Nakusp hot springs region

Harry Anderson, forest technician
in the Arrow Forest District, said the
money will go to juvenile spacing and
brushing to promote growth on the
trees that exist

**Since it will be along the highway
corridor, from an esthetic point of
view, it will be good,”’ Anderson said.

Under the cost-shared program, the

province pays up to 75 per cent of the
project's cost while the local gover
Ament must raise at least 25 per cent of
the funds, a Ministry of Forests news
release said.

The Village of Nakusp and Slocan
Forest Products have combined to
meet the 25-per-cent quota, Anderson
said

**The village will supply a bus and a
pickup for transportation and provide
the accounting while Slocan Forest
Products will supervise the work, train
the crew and do the report for the
Ministry of Forest,’’ Anderson said

“Between the two (Nakusp and
Slocan Forests Products) they raised
the 25 per cent which comes to
$19,140,”’ he said

The program will employ 10 people
for 10 weeks while the province-wide
$5 million community forest program
should create 750 short-term jobs,
Forest Minister Dave Parker said in the
release

Moyie gets
more money

The federal government has agreed
to contribute $150,000 to a new
$300,000. program that will prepare
Kaslo’s historic sternwheeler S.S.
Moyie for restoration.

The Kootenay Lake Historical
Society, which has operated the ship as
@ museum for 31 years, will be respon
sible for securing the $150,000 in mat
ching funds for the new program

The new $300,000 program, called
Phase I1-Preservation, follows the
$350,000 rescue operation on the ship
now nearing completion, seven mon.
ths ahead of schedule.

“*We are very pleased to have the
federal commitment because it allows
us to continue work on the Moyie with
the wonderful project team that’s on
the job now,” KLHS vice-president
Isabel Butler said in a news release.

“The current program has been a
remarkable example of federal
provincial-community co-operation,””
said Butler, a former mayor of Kaslo.
“If this co-operation continues, we
will be able to complete Phase I and
make plans to restore the Moyie to her
former glory.”’

Butler pointed out that con
tributions from the province, the
community and friends of the Moyie
everywhere have enabled the KLHS to
guarantee funding for Phase II to the
end of March 1990.

“We will need continued support
from all sectors to complete Phase I in
1991 and make plans for restoration,””
Butler said

The KLHS will seek additional fun
ds from major
foundations,

granting agenc
corporations, em
ployment programs and individuals,
she said

Butler chaired the KLHS committee
that raised $175,000 in 1987-88 to mat
ch federal money for the $350,000
rescue operation that has brought the
Moyie back from the brink of extin:
ction, The operation, started in the fall
of 1988, has provided a new steel sup-
port system, allowing re-alignment of
the sagging vessel, new decking, and
almost a mile of new canvas to prevent
leaks, and a fire protection system, the
news release says.

Phase II will include repairs to the
hull, the foredeck, paddlewtieel,
lifeboats, new railings, and scraping
and painting inside and out

Canadian Parks Service is the agen
cy responsible for the federal commit
meat to the Moyie and provides exper
ts to plan and approve all work on the
ship

“If we get the support needed to
complete Phase II, we will have a fully
protected vessel that we can maintain
and operate as a major attraction in the

province,”’ Butler said

‘Then we can proceed with
restoration, area by area, as funds
becomeavailable,””

Restoration would return the ster
nwheeler to its authentic state, with all
proper fittings and furnishings, at a
certain period of her 91-year history
Robert D. Turner, a museum and
sternwheeler expert commissioned by
Canadian Parks Service to study the
Moyie, has recommended the year
1930 forthe period of restoration of
the Moyie.

Turner has said that

The Moyie is
truly a national treasure worthy of
effort for her stabilization,
restoration and interpretation

Work i impresses Heritage Trust officer

By JOHN CHARTERS
“It looks good. I can really see things happening,”

said Bernice Till, capital programs officer for the B.C
Heritage Trust, after she arrived in Castlegar last week to
inspect the work being carried out by the Castlegar and
District Heritage Society

After a tour of the Castlegar Rail Station, for which
the trust has made a matching restoration grant of $40,000,
she held a meeting attended by society president Sherrel
Koreen; Heritage Trust director Bill Sloan; treasurer
secretary Verna Keraiff; Bunny Charters;
Zuckerberg Island Heritage Park Doris
Sweeney; and public relation officer John Charters.

Speaking on behalf of station restoration supervisors
Byng Giraud and Dick McLeod, Koren reported that local
contractors had completed the plumbing, insulation, elec
trical and, most recently, the $17,000 re-roofing work on
the building

Koreen also said three society employees, Shirley
Giles, Connie Schmidt, and Eileen Milne, financed under
the Challenge 89 grant and the Community Tourism Em
ployment Training Program grant, are working with
society, volunteers on office organization, artifact
cataloguing and displays, minor construction:and building
restoration. They also acted as guides to an ever-increasing
flow of visitors, she said. (1,666 visitors have been to the
Station to date since the opening in February.)

Volunteers from the society, the Selkirk Spinners and
Weavers Guild, and the Castlegar Arts Council have star

ted landscaping the station grounds with the help of
donations from GrassRoots Gardening. This week volun
teer craftsman Gordie Hill, completed and donated a new
“Castlegar” sign for the building and Giraud moun
ted it on the roof in time for Till’s visit. At the same time
heritage volunteer Art Koch brought in a beautifully
restored and mounted wood-rimmed bicycle bought in
1918 and donated by Gladys and Douglas Askew, pioneer
citizens of Castlegar

In the course of the meeting, Sloan noted a “strong,
positive attitude in the community to our heritage and
history.””

**People,”’ he said *‘can really see that things are hap
pening and the educational impact on schools and citizens
at large is just great fo see. Since the ferry was shutdown —
and its loss is having a serious effect on business — this
station is the dnly tourist attraction at this end of town.’

Bunny Charters spoke enthusiastically of the B.C.
Heritage Conference in Kelowna, where Jacques Dalibard,
executive director of Heritage Canada, described the
economic surge effect from the regional natural parks now
being developed in France and expressed the hope that
something of a similar nature already taking place in the
Courtenay area of Vancouver Island might work equally
well in the Kootenays.

She spoke also of the Ministry of Tourism’s Com:
munity Pride Program, of the interpretive museums of
Frank Slide near Crow's Nest Area and Head-Smashed-In

programs wind down

By SANDRA ESPENHAIN

Summer is winding down at Syringa Creek Provin
cial Park

Those of you who have been wanting to sport a
dark tan to head back to school or work. had better
spend the last week of August on the public beach

The evening naturalist programs in the cam
pground are quickly coming to a close as the interpreter
will present the last few programs this weekend

Starting on Thursday, we will be playing a trivia
game at 7 p.m. All the questions are based on the Birds
and the Bees; surely you can answer at least one
question. Or you may rather venture out to the cam
pground and just bea benchwarmer

Friday evening at 7:30 will be the last performance
of Teddy, the Friendly Bear. Campers have been
discussing this program all suminér long. Be sure not to
miss out on the box of surprises and then the slide
presentation

Those ladies and gentlemen who prefer to remain
somewhat civilized can come for wild tea Saturday at 7

p.m. The teas are all natural and will be served to
everyone who attends the tea party. All partiers'are
requested to bring a mug

After the wild tea party, the movie of the week will
be shown. Those campers who do not bring crumpets
for tea time should bring hot buttered popcorn for the
movie. Show time will be 8 p.m

Sunday, Sept. 3 is the final day of the summer that
the naturalist will be making a presentation at the park
To wind up the summer, join the interpreter on an in.
formative nature hike up the Syringa Trail to the top
viewpoint. Everyone who would like to experience the
awe of the Lower Arrow Lake should meet at the Gate
House at 7 p.m

Since this is the last week of events scheduled for
Syringa Creek for this summer, be sure to take in at least
one of the programs. Being along weekend, most adults
have a bit of time to spare and the kids would certainly
like to get out of the house, especially to come to the
lake. Why not have a barbecue for dinner and join
everyone at the amphitheater for some free entertain:
ment?

educational tools as well as great tourist attractions, she
said.*

Doris Sweeney pointed out that thé Society was
already at work on the eco-museum concept of Zuckerberg
Island Heritage Park and shat there are a number of
people interested in promoting its archeological potential
asa part of the earliest history of the Kootenays

The considerable increase in the number of tourists
has highlighted an unexpected spin-off seen in France
the demand for local handicrafts and souvenirs, John
Charters said

It is a fact,” he said, “that the Kootenays has the
highest percentage of crafts people in the province, Verna
Keraiff here, being among the best, but there is no
organized outlet for their owrk. It is a source of income, 1
feel, that all chambers of commerce could give direction
and support to.”’

Sloan, a historian at Selkirk College added, ‘The
West Kootenay also has the most distinctive regional iden
lity in the province in relation to the development of
mining, forestry, transportation and early history and a
very strong commitment by different groups. There is a
great potential here and when all communities and groups
work to a common goal, we will find that the whole will be

greater than the sum of the parts, and cooperation, not
competition iythe key to future success
Koreen said, ‘We must maintain our momentum.

We have carried on the work of restoration and kept
the Chapel House and Rail Station open to visitors
throughout the past year, providing work, training and
$50,000 in wages for 10 people, five of them students, and
overcome many problems,"’ Koreen said

“We have held one internal workshop for employees
and volunteers and attended three external workshops in
museum training and tourism and have four graduates in
basic museum studies and six in the Ministry of Tourism
Superhost program

‘We are applying for grants to carry on this program
as a winter works employment project and continuing
tourist attraction. It is, hoped we will place our first fire
engine, presently being restored by the local volunteer
firemen, on display next to the station and install fails and
railway rolling stock behind it. It is an exciting prospect

Till was on a tight schedule and had time only to
examine the new island map financed by the Castlegar
Rotary Club and designed by Colourmix Advertising

There is always a need for good directional signs,"* she
said, ‘‘and this wilt be of great assistance to your visitors. It
is most effective.”’
