Smokies bite dust
over finances

TRAIL (CP) — The Trail Smoke. Eaters, the last
Canadian amateur club to win the world hockey
hip, have d in the Western
International Hockey League because of financial problems.
“It's all over,” club president Gary Owen ssid. “The
players and the executive knew it was coming.

“After Thursday night's practice, we all shook hands
and we wished each other, the best of luck. We all cited
financial problems as the team's downfall for this decision.
We just couldn't make it after paying off last year's debts
and accumulating this year's.”

The decision to drop out of the league for the remainder
of the season came when the club could not raise $900 for the
East Kootenay road trip with games Friday night against
the Cranbrook Royals and tonight in Fernie against the Elk
Valley Blazers.

“All we wanted was to come up with $900 to get through
the weekend,” said Owen, “But a local sponsor of the team
would not back us in an 11th-hour deal.”

Owen would not name the sponsor.

BUY STICK

He criticized a fund drive led by the Trail Chamber of
Commerce to try to purchase the huge hockey stick
displayed at the Expo 86 world’s fair in Vancouver, and
another business which donated money to an under-17 team
but would not support the Smoke Eaters.

input from future general
manager Pat Quinn for the
crucial amateur draft in
June, will likely appeal Fri-
day's National Hockey
League ruling, says a club
vice-president.

“I believe each of the par-
ties involved is speaking with
their legal counsels with a
view to potential appeals,”
said Glen Ringdal, the Can-
ucks vice-president of com-
munications.

NHL president John Zieg-
ler fined the Canucks

Boyd in top 10

Castlegar’s Felix Belezyk came up with a 20th place
showingwith a time of 2:10.42 yesterday at the world Alpine
ski ionships in Ci Switzerland.

Peter Mueller, taking risks on the tricky Nationale
course, upset defending champion Pirmin Zurbriggen and
led a Swiss sweep of the medals.

It was the first major downhill title for Mueller, a
29-year-old veteran of the World Cup circuit.

Meanwhile, Rob Boyd of Whistler, gave Canada its best
finish in a world championship by placing fifth, beating
Toronto's Steve Podborski’s seventh place in 1978.

Mueller mastered the difficult jumps on the 3,112-metre
course to delight 40,000 spectators with the host country’s
second gold medal of the championships.

“After 12 years of racing, a dream comes true,” said
Mueller after posting a blistering time of two minutes, 7.80
seconds.

Zurbriggen settled for the silver medal with a time of
2:08.13, while Karl Alpiger took the bronze in 2:08.20.

Franz Heinzer added to the Swiss domination of the
glamour event by finishing fourth in 2:08.34.

Boyd, in his first full season on the circuit, had a time of
2:08.50, while Daniel Mahrer rounded off the remarkable
Swiss performance by finishing sixth in 2:09.06.

“I did definitely well and I think it’s enough for my first
full season,” said Boyd, winner of the World Cup downhill
earlier this sesson at Val Gardena, Italy.

Daniel Moar of Vancouver placed 31st in 2:11.52 and
Robbie Bosinger of Banff, Alta., wound up 38rd in 2Z:11.97.

The track was tailored for Mueller, its dangerous jumps
and sharp bends suited perfectly for his reckless tyle.

“This is fantastic, I have been waiting for this day a long
time,” Mueller said. “So many times in the championshi.ps
and the Olympics I have finished in the top five, always
missing gold.”

Mueller was the silver medallist behind Zurbriggen at
the last world championships in Bormio, Italy, two years
ago. He also placed second in the 1984 Olympic downhill in
Sarajevo, Yugoslavia.

For a while, it looked as though Zurbriggen, 23, would
become the first man to win successive world downhill titles.

Mueller, starting seventh, lagged behind Zurbriggen in
the upper part but picked up speed at the bottom and
flashed across the finish line.

Zurbriggen has a chance to redeem himself when he
defends his combined title with the downhill portion today.
His greatest rival, Mare Girardelli of Luxembourg, has a
bitter slalom result.

Girardelli finished seventh in the downhill, despite a
nagging shoulder injury.

The Swiss are also favored to clinch another gold medal
in the women’s downhill today. Maria Walliser posted the
fastest time in final training Saturday, 1:44.55, followed by
defending champion Michela Figini in 1:44.58.

Eika Hess opened the Swiss medal harvest by
defending her combined title on Friday.

Laurie Graham of Inglewood, Ont., was the leading
Canadian in women’s downhill practice with a seventh-place
finish in 1:46.55. Liisa Savijarvi of Bracebridge, Ont., was
19th in 1:47.99, Karen Stemmle of Aurora, Ont., 21st in
1:48.19 and Karen Percy of Banff, 25th in 1:48.69.

MARTINA
CHRIS TO
PLAY B.C.

VANCOUVER (CP) — Martina Navratilova and Chris
Evert Lloyd, ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in the world
respectively, have been named to represent the United
States in the Federation Cup women’s team tennis
championship this summer.

The United States TEnnis Association and Tennis
Canada made the joint announcement in New York and
Vancouver. The championship, to be held at the Hollyburn
Country Club in West Vancouver, starts July 26 and runs
through Aug. 2.

Pam Shriver, ranked No. 6 on the , Women's
International Tennis Association computer, was the third
player named to the U.S. team Friday.

The U.S. team, which will include a fourth player to be
named later, will be coached by Marty Reissen, who last
year led the U.S. Federation Cup and Wightman Cup teams
to victory in his first appearance as U.S. captain.

Navratilova, Evert Lloyd and Shriver led the 1986 U.S.
team to its first Federation Cup title in four years in Prague
last July. It marked Navratilova’s first return to
Czechoslovakia since she moved to the United States in
1975.

The United States has won a record 12 Federation Cup
titles since the inception of the women's world team tennis
championship in London in 1963.

Evert Lloyd returned to the competition last year after
a three-year absence. She has won 45 Federation Cup
matches, including 31 in singles. Her first singles loss came
last year in Prague against Sandra Cecchini of Italy.

Pulpit

& Pew

The following article is
written ‘by Kent Philpott,
from his Book: “If the Devil
Wrote a Bible. In one of the
chapters entitled, “The Devil
Questions, Isn't God In
Every Man?” the author
deals with a concept that
many believe, and that is:
God is in each one of us.

You will find as you read
this that this concept or be-
lief is false according to the
Word of God.

My prayer is that you will
be opened to the spirit of God
as you read this. *

“Why do people like to
believe they are God or a
part of God? For one thing, it
excuses sin. Everyone knows.
God doesn't sin, so if I'm God,
then how could I sin? Beau-
tiful rationalization — it pro-
vides a cover for sin and
builds a huge gaudy ego.

“We all want to be right,
and how right we are when

we are God. And then we
feed our sinful pride. Satan
wanted to be as God, and
consequently he was cast out
of heaven.

“The Bible teaches that we
are either under the power of
Satan or under the power of
God. If we are not believing
in God with all our heart, we
are under Satan's power, and
like him we boast, Look, I'm
God.

“In Genesis, we find these
words: In the beginning God
created the heavens and the
earth (Genesis 1:1). God
clearly tells us that He is the
Creator, and that everything
else is a part of what He has
created. God is not in me,
God has created me. I am not
God, God is my Creator.

“It is only by my faith in
Jesus Christ that God's Holy
Spirit comes to live in my life.
Panentheism teaches that
God is in me regardless of
sin, faith, repentance, or
anything else. If a person be-
lieved in pantheism or pan-
entheism, he would never in-
vite Christ into his life.

Robbie Burns day
dance held

By FLORENCE LAYCOCK

‘The Castlegar Senior Citi
zens’ Association held a
dance in honor of Robbie
Burns last Saturday.

The affair was well at-
tended. Entertainment was
provided by Debbie Tomp-
kins and her three girls, who
had the audience enthralled.

With a little persuasion
John Dalziel sang a song or
two and gave insights into
just how “stingy” Scots can
be.

Luncheon was served at
the end of the dance, fea-
turing all Scottish fare.

It was a pleasure to have
some of the handicapped
from Clay Castle with us, it
did the heart good to see
them there enjoying them
selves.

The next dance will be in
February. Watch for the date
to be announced in the
Castlegar News, on radio and
on TV. *

“If God is in me, I'd better
seek that God within. Have
you ever heard of God-
consciousness or Christ-con-
sciousness? God- or Christ-
consciousness is the idea that
God is within every man and
that the religious thing to do
is to tap into that conscious-
ness. Instead of reaching out
to God as the Bible teaches,
God-consciousness teachings
point people inward.

“Such turning inward is
called introspection. What
happens when we turn in-
ward? What do we find? We
find our sinful self. How do I
know about my sinful self?

“God tells me in the Bible. I
wouldn't label it so on my
own, but I believe God's
evaluation of my situation. A
lot of people in God-cons-
ciousness take psychedelic
drugs because the conscious-
ness they see in themselves
isn't too nice.

“If I seek for God in me,
then I'll not find the true and
living God. If I'm God, do I
ask myself to forgive my own
sin? Only God can forgive my
sin, but if1 think I'm god or
that God is in me, I'll not
likely receive forgiveness of
sin. And Jesus taught that
unless our sin is forgiven,
we'll perish.

“Pantheism and panenth-
eism severely blur reality.
They construct a false image
of the world, of God, and of
ourselves, and cut people off
from the reality that God is
the Creator, that He is out
side of and above us. These
philosophies blur the reality
about ourselves.

“Surely if I'm god or God is
in me, then I must be all
right. The result is that all
I'm left with is myself and the
hopeless task of trying to find
some kind of God-conscious-
ness within myself. Such an
idea quickly leads to despair.

It robs us of hope.

“Christ in us ié our hope.
But He isn't there automa-
tically. We must invite Him
into our lives. First, we ask
God to forgive our sin. He
will do this because Jesus has
already died for our sin on
the cross. When we tell God
we turn from our sin and ask
Him for forgiveness. He will
wash all our sins away. Then
we must ask Jesus to be our
Savior.

“We ask Him to come into
our hearts to save us. We say
to God, ‘God, I give You my
life.’ When we ask Jesus in,
He comes in. Then we have
forgiveness, and Christ is in
us, living, dwelling in us.
That's the Christian's hope.
That's the Christian's real-
