Gainey gets hattrick
in Habs whitewash

MONTREAL (CP) — Veteran Bob Gainey had the first
three-goal game of his career and Stephane Richer continued
his torrid scoring pace with a pair of goals as the Montreal
Canadiens defeated the Winnipeg Jets 6-0 Saturday night
for their fifth straight NHL-victory.

The Montreal offence lightened the load for goaltender
Brian Hayward, who made saves in posting his second
shutout.

Gainey, 34, whose nine goals are one more than he
produced last season whew he missed almost half the year
with a knee injury, Steve Penney, the former Montreal
goaltender who replaced Jets starter Daniel Berthiaume to
open the third period.

Richer, who has seven goals and five assists in his last
five games, opened the scoring late in the first period by
blasting a slap shot that was too searong for Berthiaume to
handle.

After Mats Naslund — with his 22nd goal — and Gainey
extended Montreal's margin in the second period, Richer
notched his 39th goal with 1:12 to play in the period.

The 39 goals are the most by a memeber of the

prize money. The first player to win four games in
se’ played advances to the next round, double

elimination.

Coach to explain suits

MOUNT ALLAN, Alta
(CP) — Glenn Wurtele, head
coach of the Canadian men's
ski team, will meet Monday
with the Canadian Ski As.
sociation’s executive to ex
plain why Canada’s giant
slalom skiers were disquali
fied from the Olympic Games
for wearing improper ski
suits.

The four skiers were dis
qualified Thursday for wear
ing suits which did not have
silver dises attached indi
cating they had been wind
tested by the International
Ski Federation.

The disqualified skiers
were Jim Read of Calgary,
the top Canadian in 33rd
place after the first run;
Alain Villiard of Ste-Adele,
Que.; Greg Grossmann of
Ancaster, Ont., and Peter
Bosinger of Banff, Alta. The
ski federation disqualified 10
other skiers for wearing
uniforms not tagged.

Wurtele had refused to
accept the resignation of
Piotr Jelen, the giant slalom
coach who offered to quit and
accept responsibility for the
incident.

“I've always had a great

respect for his ability so
there's no way I'm going to
accept his resignation over a
mistake,” said Wurtele.

Now Wurtele has to ans.
wer to the ski association's
executive.

“I don't really think -I'll
have to get up and support
my case,” Wurtele said Sat
urday. “There's not much to
defend. A mistake was made
and if someone has to pay,
well, basically, if you want to
be head coach, in the long run
you're the guy who's respon
sible.

“A mistake was made and,

as head coach .. . either I fire
the guy or I take respon:
sibility.”

Asked if his job was now
on the line, Wurtele said, “I
don’t know, I really don't
know. I'll just have to see
how the executive feels.”

“They'd like to find out
more. They don't want to
make any judgment without
all the facts.”

“The whole thing was a
unfortunate mistake,” said
Wurtele who added that the
federation rules are bent all
the time in Europe.

Doping effects
jexaggerated

By JOHN WARD
Canadian Press

CALGARY — There is ‘no
definite test to detect blood
doping, but some sports doc.
tors question whether the
controversial practice does
anything to improve per
formance.

Research is continuing into
foolproof methods of detect
ing blood doping, Prince
Alexandre de Merode, head
of the medical commission of
the International Olympic
Committee, said Saturday.

But he questioned the use.

crease the oxygen-carrying
capacity of the blood and
improves endurance.

Rumors about blood dop-
ing first arose after the 1976
Montreal Olympics. Its use
was banned for the 1988
Games.

“The effects may be ex-
aggerated,” de Merode said.
“Perhaps blood doping is
something that’s already out-
dated.”

Now, the only way of
checking for blood doping is
to inspect athletes for telltale
needle marks — which was
done as part of routine dope
test at the Calgary Games —
and inspecting the medical
supplies of teams for blood-
storage and transfusion
equipment.

“No evidence of recent
blood fusion has been

detected by members of the
(Olympic) medical commis
sion {when inspecting the
athletes undergoing the nor-
mal procedure of medical
control after competition,” de
Merode said
TESTING VARIES

He said research had pro-
duced a test which could
detect blood doping in 50 per
cent of the cases, but that’s
not good enough.

“This is certainly a step
foryard in the right diree-
tion, but the reliability and
the validity of this test are
still too low for its application
during the Olympic Games,
where doping control should
never result in false positive
or false negative results.”

De Merode also discounted
some suggestions that a hor-
mone being used in the
exerimental treatment of
anemic patients might be
used to duplicate the sup-
posed effects of blood doping.

The hormone erythropoe-
tin increases the number of
red blood cells.

De Merode said the drug is
available only in very limited
quantities for experimental
use and is unlikely to be used
by athletes.

The International Olympic
Committee also announced a
new code of ethics for its
approved laboratories. Un.
der the code, labs must
refuse to conduct pre-comp-
etition tests on athletes
which might be used to with-
draw a drug-contaminated
athlete from the competition
without penalty.

Reflections

& recollections

Castlegar's
Heritage week
successful

About the beginning of this month Kevin Lagan,
Director of Engineering and Public Works, asked me for
a status and proposed works report on the Castlegar Rail
Station and Zuckerberg Island Heritage Park projects so
he could include it in his report to the couneil’s parks and
recreation committee.

However, I have been busy in the preparations for
and operation of Heritage Week, proof-reading material
for the book Over My Shoulder, revising material for
Tamar and the Dragon Tree as well as other matters. I
have not had the opportunity to prepare a report. In view
of this difficulty and the pressure of time, I have decided
to kill two birds with one stone and prepare a general
report and acknowledgement from which Kevin may
draw such material as he wishes.

First the chapel house: Repairs to the fire damage to
the house were completed in early 1987 by day labor.
Installation of the windows, sheeting of the outside,
painting, the construction of the side porch and the
covering of the washroom/storage shed with slab-log
veneer was carried out with volunteer labor.

On June 7, 1987 Mayor Audrey” Moore. officially
opened the chapel house, followed by a public reception
for visitors at the house and a private reception for 50
invited guest at the Charters’s home.

Heritage Week in February 1987, and our first
participation in the celebration was carried out in
cooperation with the. C.P. Rail staff and local crafts-
people. It was a considerable succes¢ and warmly praised
by Bill Reid, Minister of Tourism, Recreation and
Culture, who was visiting the area.

CHAPEL HOUSE . . . Asta Zuckerberg, daughter of
der Zuckerberg in early photo of chapel

In May, the Heritage Advisory C sent two
representatives, Bunny Charters and Gerry Rempel to
the B.C. Heritage Society Conference in Kamloops. We
won a Heritage Week Award. I attended at my own
expense as an observer.

An attractice brochure of the Zuckerberg Island
Heritage Park was designed by directors Nancy Felde
and Dr. Bill Sloan and printed just in time for the
conference. It has won wide publicity for the project and
for Castlegar within and without the province, to such an
extent than an estimated two-year stock has lasted only
one year.

About the same time we circulated a letter in the

rouse.

Some four acres of the park area were groomed and
mountains of slash material burned. Repairs were made
to the kukuli and a protective fence started around it and
the rock outfall for Bloomer Creek cleaned and upgraded.

With the aid of volunteers from the Castlegar Peace
Group a 150-foot lateral two-inch water line was built to
the Hiroshima Peace Memorial to supply local irrigation,
and water for thirsty visitors.

All directional signs, benches and tables on the island
have been painted or varnished while the deck and

ible cables on the suspension bridge were painted

district seeking support of local or for the
suggestion of using the chapel house as a postal stamp
design. Jack Chernoff presented the responses and
covering letter to the Canada Post Selection Committee.

Negotiations are continuining.

Further work was done on the floors and electrical
installations of the house.

Meantime, a volunteer group called Friends of the
Island was formed and kept the house open three hours a
day for visitors from late spring to fall during which time
about 4,500 visitors from 24 countries and over 260 towns
were) registered. Pins for the group were designed and
donated by Bob Durkin, a Rotarian, owner of Lauener's
Jewellers of Trail.

A team supplied by the Castlegar and District
Development Board and supervised by Verna Keraiff and
I worked for six weeks on the island, during which time
eight access paths with steps to the river were created or
upgraded, the circular and radial paths around the island
reinforced, graded and/or stabilized with crushed gravel
supplied by the city. The parking area in front of the
house was stabilized with crushed gravel and new
gardens created around the house with rock and top soil
supplied by the city and planted by Verna Keraiff and
Axel Nielsen.

with preservation paint with the help of Oglow Paints
and the Castlegar Rotary Club. The club also provided
two work parties during the year for other heavy clearing
on the park, while Doris Sweeney spent many hours on
lighter clearing, as well as plant identification and photo-

ing, with a view to establishing an on
the park.

Two new signs in the park have been posted on the
island. One, identifies the origin and purpose of the kukuli
and the island's relations to our first people; the second,
created by Gayle Moodie and Gordie Hill, is a pictorial
identification of an island pest, poison ivy.

One new plaque in the chapel house acknowledges
the groups and individuals involved in the restoration of
the house, while another recognizes the extensive
support of the British Columbia Heritage Trust, which
paid an official visit to the park in the late fall and earlier
provided the funds to initiate the restoration.

With the considerable assistance of Bunny Charters
and Doris Sweeney we have been able to carry out during
the spring/summer months, almost weekly tours for
West Kootenay public schools, Selkirk College and VIPs.
The chapel house has been officially closed for the winter
since November but a steady trickle of visitors continues.

Rotary Club
laughs it up

By JOHN CHARTERS

The Castlegar Rotary Club and its guests rocked with
laughter again and again throughout the course of last
Tuesday's meeting.

It began when program chairman Lach Farrell, in
preparation for the club's visit to the Beaver Valley Club,
modelled a variety of St. Patrick's Day green Irish hats.
Farrell said it would be appropriate for Castlegar Rotarians
to wear the hats and green bowties for the occasion.

President Hugo Smecher supported the and

explained that any concern which might arise over the
problem that St. Patrick's Day was celebrated on March 17
had been foreseen and that Castlegar would take along an
“adjusted” calendar for March which reads: “1, 2, 17, 4, 5,...
15, 16, 3,18... .”

Later there was more laughter when he announced that
the program for the evening would be the traditional
thumbnail autobiographies given by two of the new and
unsuspecting members, Dr. Bill Kanigan and Dr. Dave
Williams.

Williams, the second speaker, managed to turn the
tables by announcing that he had been trained according to
the teachings of Marx — not Karl, but Groucho, Harpo and
Chico — and proceeded to prove it.

There was still more laughter when, at the end of the
meeting, t-Arms Dale D in a rapid fire
repartee, managed to fine practically all of the laughers and
speech kibitzers to for a variety of “crimes” — the proceeds
of which will go to the Polio-Plus Project sponsored by

yolitis in children throughout the world by the turn of
the century. Thé-goal is $120 million and its progress,
particularly in Canada, according to an earlier report by Jim
Lamont, polio committee chairman, who said the drive in
Western Canada is making great strides. The offer by
Texaco to donate two per cent of all credit card funds to the
project was described as “an incredible opportunity.”

Earlier in the month, Jim Gouk had announced the
arrival at Easter of an outstanding Rotary-sponsored
German jazz band which will be giving several benefit
concerts in the West Kootenay and will be billeved by the
local club.

To welcome them, five West Kootenay clubs — Trail,
Rossland, Beaver Valley, Nelson and Castlegar — will hold a
dinner and concert in the Community Complex April 6.

As well, earlier this month the club heard two
addresses. The first was given by Joe Drennen, president of
West Kootenay Power and Light Co., who discussed the
present progress and future activities of the company. The
company, he said, had the best record for low outages in
Canada and a very impressive safety record. Energy sales,
he went on, were up by three per cent and the company is
planning $54 million in eapital expenditures.

The next speaker was Kootenay West MP Bob Brisco
who discussed the benefits to this area and to Canada of the
free-trade agreement. Visitors to the meeting included
Rotarian student exchange counsellor Merle Prior of the
Grand Coulee club, his fiancee Christie Kennedy, his club's
hi: student Motohiro Oya and Castlegar's
