Stan Fischler, an American writer who has churned out more than SO sports books, had suggested a memoir of Ferguson's NHL days, first as a player and then as general manager of the New York Rangers and Winnipeg Jets All Fischler needed was the taped recollections. Ferguson, who’s now co-owner of a harness raceway in Win- dsor, Ont., obliged and the result is the new book Thunder and Lightning. The title is appropriate. Ferguson was the heavyweight champion of the National Hockey League, helping the Montreal Canadiens win five Stanley Cups during his eight-year playing career that ended in 1972 “I didn’t need any video replay to understand that I wasn’t the best shooter in the world,’’ Ferguson recalls in the book. ‘*I surely wasn’t the best stickhandler and you can be damn Library to show Christmas videos Christmas videos will be shown at the Castlegar library Saturday, Dec. 16 and Dec. 23 from | p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Children of all ages from pre: schoolers on up are welcome to drop into the library to see a selection of animated stories, such as Babar and Father Christmas and Wind in the Willows.

His explosive temper carried over to his days as manager His booming voice could often be heard through dressing-room doors as he berated players should be a vital ingredient of athletic participation may shudder. Ferguson makes no apologies GOT THE AXE Thunder and Lightning devotes more of its pages to the 1964-72 playing era than to Ferguson’s 1977-88 managerial tenure, which would seem a more interesting area to explore. The Rangers and the Jets both fired Ferguson. He blames Hall of Famer Rod Gilbert for his exit from New York, and Mike Smith, his assistant and now Jets general manager, for his firing in Winnipeg. He says Smith delivered ‘‘a knife in the back.’’ But what exactly did Smith do? No sufficient explanation is given. Stil, Thunder and Lightning takes readers behind many closed doors for glimpses at the way hockey organizations work There was the time when the Jets tried to make a trade for Ron Duguay, then a forward with the Detroit Red Wings.

Marc Lepine’s killing rampage “‘is utterly beyond comprehension,’’ he said. ‘*We pray that such a senseless act could never happen again in Canada or anywhere else.”’ Women are often faced with violen- ce, the external affairs co-ordinator of the school’s Alma Mater Society told the subdued crowd during the 45 minute service. Women are not treated as equal to men at the university, said Vanessa Geary, and sexual and violent jokes are stillcommon. Nancy Sheehan, dean of the faculty of education, said freedom for women at Canadian universities is still a dream. Sheehan said she was horrified to learn recently that her daughter, who attends university in Toronto, carries a knife because she is afraid. “What are we doing to our daughters and sons that some are so fearful and some are so violent?” she asked. NOTINTIMIDATED A United Church of Canada minister told about 250 people gathered in the Simon Fraser Univer- sity mall she is proud to be a feminist and will not be intimidated by last week’s mass murder. “The massacre in Montreal is a con- tinuum of all the violence that happens to women,” said Linda Ervin. ‘Every Via case under federal jurisdiction, court told VICTORIA (CP) — Only the Federal Court of Canada can hear a B.C. government suit against the federal government over the closure of a regional railway, a federal lawyer Esson reserved decision on the jurisdictional argument, but told lawyers for both sides to proceed with their other statements today Atissue is the planned closure of the Railway.

Women are subjugated and oppressed by that power “That pervasive idiology is a far more dangerous and destructive weapon that the semi-automatic rifle that was used to murder those 14 women.

(AP) — Walt Disney Pictures is the winner of the 1989 Dunce Cap Award by SPELL, The Society for the Preser- vation of English Language and Literature, for the popular film Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. It should have been Honey, I Shrank the Kids, SPELL, a 2,000-member non-profit organization based in Mountain View, confers the annual awards on ‘‘per petrators of especially egregious errors in usage, spelling ajd punctuation in- flicted on the public’s sensibilities.”” Richard Lederer, author of Anguished English, Get Thee to a Punnery, and Crazy English, is the sole judge. “We're not grammar some people have called us, Police, as "said The Songs of cc hristmas are ps for from the Castlégar News 197 Columbia Avenue William Penn Jr., president and a retired business professor at San Jose State. ‘We're just people who think the English language should be saved from the careless and ignorant.” A Disney official defended the use of ‘‘shrunk.”” “It was done deliberately,"’ said the official, who wouldn’t give his name. “*It was not an error. That’s what Rick Moranis, the father in the movie, says: ‘Honey, I shrunk the kids.’ The title was taken from that.’’ And it worked, the official said: The film grossed more than $129 million.

The two-car, 70- passenger train makes one 450- kilometre round trip daily. The trains carry no freight In the case, which is expected to take all week, the provincial government plans to argue that the 1883 Dunsmuir Agreement puts the onus on the federal government to maintain the railway in perpetuity. It also says British Columbia gave away millions of dollars in land and mineral rights to the federal gover- nment for a guarantee of permanent passenger rail service on Vancouver Island The fedéral government maintains the agreement provides only for the construction, equipment, maintenan- ce and working of a continuous line of railway, but that ‘continuous’ doesn’t mean it will operate forever. Meanwhile, the train was out of operation Monday Mechanical problems put the train out of service for its morning trip, and passengers had to be taken by bus. Conductor John Cooper said the railway has been plagued by mechanical problems since a car was sent away 18 months ago for a refit “The repairs have been totally inadequate,” he said. ‘We've told the federal government and have been get- ting no action on repair “We wonder if they just haven't decided to let the equipment deteriorate until they hear the outcome of the court case.”” COMMUNITY Bulletin Board members welcome. can do so by participating in boxes are located throughout the City Thursday, December 14, 9:30 o.
