And Belezyk is hoping to carry his cugrent momentum right through to the Olympic Winter Games in Calgary next month. Belezyk placed fourth and fifth in World Cup races over the weekend Switzerland and his win in the SGS was the first victory n male in a World Cup event other than an elated Belezyk told the Castlegar News in a telephone interview from Sch- briggen. “I got into the groove,” ladming, Austria on Tuesday. Belezyk beat out Swiss ace Pirmin Zurbriggen and Italy's Heinz Holzer for top spot in the SGS. He flashed down the 2,570-metre course in one minute, 51.20 seconds — a full second faster than second-place finisher Zur- “I couldn't be happier.” Belezyk said. “I got the feeling back in my skis that I lost when I wasn’t doing so well.” Belezyk also said that the weather provided a little help in his SGS victory. in Leukerbad, “Some racers had more fog at the ‘bottom of the course which is steeper. The fog was in a section that wasn’t as critical during my run. I knew that section of the course real well.” Heavy snow later on forced race officials to halt racing with 37 skiers left to go. Howeyer, the points were awarded as usual. Belezyk picked up 25 SGS points for Monday's win. The fourth and fifth place downhill finishes gave him a total of 2 Of the course Belezyk said: downhill points. “I didn’t like it at first, Belezyk ‘high’ after win but I warmed up to it after the two downhill races.” The bottom section of the SGS course was also the bottom half of the downhill course Belezyk had raced on the two previous days. Belezyk said he was also pleased with his downhill placings on Saturday and Sunday. “Basically it's been my best weekend to date,” he said. The last time Belezyk had such success was two years ago when he came Austria. Asked if he'd in fourth at Kitzbuhel, done anything differently in the last three races, Belezyk said: “I had the momentum going and I've really focussed on taking the pressure off on race day.” Belezyk will spend this week in Schladming pre continued on page A2 FELIX BELCYZK . first-ever win City plans to welcome Belczyk By CasNews Staff Castlegar is buzzing with the recent success of native gon Felix Belezyk onthe World Cup ski circuit. Just one day before Belezyk stunned World Cup observers with his super giant slalom victory in Leukerbad, Switzerland, locals were celebrating Felix Belezyk Day as part of the Celebration 88 event. Now the town is gearing up for Belezyk’s return next Monday or Tuesday and is planning a warm weleome for him. Ald. Lawrence Chernoff says the city is organizing a reception for Belezyk at the Castlegar Airport.

Cawte Community festivities. residents in a torchlight parade frm parking lot to the complex more Celebration 88 CosNewsPhot> by Ror tor Norman CELEBRATION 88 Hundreds share flame By BONNE MORGAN Writer It was cold Sunday but that didn’t deter hundreds of Castlegar residents from gathering to celebrate the Olym pic spirit at local Celebration ‘88 festivities. A torchlight-run kicked things off at 4 p.m. A small convoy followed the runners, who carried a replica of the Olympic torch from Selkirk College, through Brilliant to the Castlegar-Rob- son Ferry and up Columbia Avenue to the Community Complex. Groups of people waiting to get a glimpse of the symbolic flame could see the flashing lights of the RCMP escort as the torchlight run approached. Traffic passing the runners honk ed and drivers waved in support of the relay runners. Aimie Chernoff and escort run: ners, Ben Thor-Larsen and Jennifer Small were the first relay team to carry the torch. And Tammy Sookoru: koff accompanied by Chris Miller and Brian McFadden jogged into the Safeway parking lot about 1'/2 hours later. Several hundred residents eagerly awaited the arrival of the runners at the Safeway parking lot about 5 p.m. Many stood in small groups with their Olympic souvenir candles lit, stamping their frozen feet, while others took refuge in their cars. But the torch had gone out halfway through the run, so officials had to light the Olympic-style cauldron themselves instead of using the torch. Something went wrong with the wick in the torch and the flame went out on Broadwater Road, Gordon Turner said at the complex after numerous tries to light the torch. “The wick was gone but there seemed to be lots of paraffin there,” said Turner. “Yet the same torch burned for 22 or 23 hours in Prince George without going out,” he said. The torch was donated to the city by the City of Merritt. After the cauldron at Safeway was lit, everyone paraded up the middle of Columbia Avenue in a_torchlight parade to the complex There, more people turned up for continued on poge A2 Council supports expansion By CasNews Staff Castlegar council unanimously agreed Tuesday to ask the provincial government to provide economic in centives for the expansion of the Celgar pulp mill The move follows a similar request from the union representing workers at the mill. In a letter to Premier Bill Vander Zalm, a copy of which was forwarded to Castlegar council, the Pulp, Paper and Woodworkers of Canada Local 1 asks for a “commitment” from the province to help with the impending woodroom closure. “The closure of the only pulpwood processing (chipping) facility in the area will mean the large portion of the area's forests consisting of ‘pulp only’ wood will not be harvested,” Michael Espenhain, PPWC Local 1 second vice-president, says in the letter “This in turn will mean we cannot have effective reforestation, thereby jeopardizing the entire future employ ment in this valley in the long term.” Espenhain says the province should “consider investing in or giving incentives for expansion of the pulp producing capacity in this area in order to fully and properly utilize our forests.” < He asked Vander Zalm to reply before the end of this month. Ald. Terry Rogers proposed coun cil write to Vander Zalm “immedi ately,” saying it supports the “deep concerns” expressed by the union and the proposal for government incentives for a mill expansion. Ald. Len Embree agreed. it’s a good, positive motion,” continued on page Aé “I think he said. Co-op wins permission for lawsuit By RON NORMAN Editor Members of the defunct Teachers’ Housing and Investment Cooperative will have their day in court after all. B.C. Supreme Court judge John Spencer ruled Monday that B.C. Minister of Finance Mel Couvelier must give co-op members permission to sue the B.C. government and former superintendent of co-ops J. Henry Thomas. “We're really thrilled,” Alma Mc Gauley, spokesmen for the co-op members, told the Castlegar News Tuesday. “It’s a bit of vindication.” Co-op members allege that Thom as failed to properly supervise the co-op, resulting in its collapse in November 1985. The members sought permission to sue Thomas, the ministry of finance and the province last August, but Cou velier turned down their request in October. They appealed the issue before Judge Spencer last Wednesday. In his ruling, Judge Spencer said that legislation requiring members to seek permission from the minister is not intended “to protect the public revenue from potential vicarious claims for the wrongful acts of the super. intendent.” McGauley noted: “It doesn't say we're going to win the next round, but it says it is... an arguable prima facie case.” She added: “He's saying it (the case) deserves to be heard, which is what we've always said.” McGauley said members are “very happy because we have an objective opinion of our case . . . I find it isa great relief after dealing with politicians,” who she said implied “we didn’t have any case.” McGauley said the co-op members’ next step will be to proceed with a suit against the province, the ministry and Thomas. The members have also filed suit against Montreal Trust, the managers and directors of the co-op, and the lawyers who advised the co-op. “It could be as long as a year before we get a court date,” McGauley said. However, she added that it is crucial to deal with the case as quickly as possible, noting that many co-op members are in their 80s and 90s. About 45,000 co-op members lost a total of $69 million when the co-op failed Meanwhile, Finance Minister Cou velier said Tuesday he’s awaiting advice from the Attorney General's Ministry before he decides whether to appeal the Judge Spencer decision Couvelier said he hopes to hear from the ministry in the next few days He said the main issue the question of responsibility for invest ments — was not dealt with in the B.C Supreme Court ruling and will have to be settled by a higher court. However, McGauley says she’s concerned about whether the province will appeal “We don't really care. It’s aca demic whether they do or not.” McGauley said about 55 co-op members were present for last Wed nesday's court hearing not Development board pushing dam project By RON NORMAN Editor Castlegar and District Develop. ment Board is once again pressing for the installation of generators at the Hugh Keenleyside Dam. Board director Harry Stan said a study supporting the $982 million project has been submitted to Tom Greene, economic development officer for the newly-created Kootenay De velopment Region. Stan told Castlegar council Tues- day that he plans to contact Greene today to ensure the study is forwarded to the provincial government for con. sideration. Richard Maddocks, the other board director, said the study is basically the same as the one submitted to Victoria in 1984 by the former “It’s a political decision,” he said As well, Maddocks said rumors that B.C. Hydro has rented office space in Castlegar are just that — rumors He said one of the latest rumors is that Hydro has rented the top floor of the Sandman Inn to get ready for the dam project. However, Maddocks said it’s not true. Meanwhile, council suggested the board also send a copy of the study to Premier Bill Vander Zalm and Energy Minister Jack Davis. Mayor Audrey Moore called such a move “prudent” in light of the fact the Kootenay Development Region ap pears to be in “a state of limbo Moore was referring to the recent announcement that Tom Baybutt, the proposed regional liaison officer, will not assume the position. Castlegar E De Committee. “There's been some minor changes to it, but nothing significant,” Mad- docks told the Castlegar News. Maddocks said he's “hopeful” the project will go ahead, but added: “Hydro are keeping pretty quiet.” Maddocks pointed out that in a meeting with Greene and Baybutt last year the development board was assured the dam project would be given high priority and would not be delayed while regional economic de velopment committees were establish ed.
