Then the two bought the Toronto Argos of the Canadian Football League. This weekend, they signed Notre Dame star receiver Raghib (Rocket) Ismail to a multi-million dollar contract worth more than ADULT & SENIOR 4 MONTH "AQUATIC PASSES NOW ON SALE!

DANCE FOR HEART — MAY 8-11 Pledge sheets available at the Recreation Office. Gretzky's salary. It seems a far cry from owning 12 to 15 world-class race horses together, Yet some say a genuine friendship based on mutual respect has formed between the two. Perhaps it’s a mark of Gretzky's character that he is able to buy race horses, rare baseball cards and CFL teams with the owner and not cause friction among his teammates. Kings’ coach Tom Webster says what Gretzky and McNall do outside of hockey is very satisfying to both of them. “But what makes it so special is that Wayne has his priorities right and McNall is no problem,’’ he says of the owner. who provides a private plane for his team to eliminate terrible travel conditions. “The rest of the team know the team comes first with Wayne. And Wayne knows that when it comes to the team, separation is necessary . . . First and foremost, he’s a player."” McNall, who made his money and his reputation through coin investing and collecting, says the bond began Aug. 9, 1988 — the day he bought Gretzky from Edmonton Oilers owner Peter Pocklington. “It was a positive bagging a player of that calibre, but there was so much emotion involved,’’ he said during a playoff game between his NHL's dynamic duo Kings and the Oilers. “Both of us went through such an emotional thing, | think it bonded us together right then and there."” McNall takes exception to people who question the friendship. “Some people say the owner of the team is ass-tight with the star, jock-sniffing. Or that the star is sucking up to the owner. But people who suggest that just don’t know us very well.’* Gretzky says the relationship is based on being alike in many ways. , “*We had similar lives in terms of our upbringing. We have similar values. And we've both excelled at something,”’ McNall admits that the friendship makes things tougher for Gretzky in the Smythe Division final series now on between the Oilers and the Kings. “Wayne. has always played with Pressure. But he wants to win so badly for me, I know there’s added pressure.”" Says Gretzky: respect and don’t want to let down.” **He’s someone | Trail’s tough in minor soccer By CasNews Staff Two Castlegar minor soccer league teams are trying to look on the bright side after a tough week against some tough teams from Trail. On the bright side, the other team in the interlocking league with Trail and area teams, the Castigar Tornado, got a win and a tie in two games. But it was bad news for Castlegar’s only team in the un- der-14 division, the X-men, as they lost 3-0 Wednesday to the Glenmerry Sting in Glenmerry. On the bright side, coach Gerry Rodgers, singled out fullbacks Donald Young, Chris Jacinto and Ryan Swedburg as the team’s most solid performers in the game.

Jim Young hasn't forgot that he got his start in Castlegar after his 15-year professional football career came to an end. —cosnews photo Young keeps adding more to that chapter annually with his celebrity golf tournament which benefits the Red Every year for the last four, he has returned to the place that gave him his start, ‘‘to give something back.”” What Young has given back is the local office for the Red Cross — a charity he picked because he thought its a valuable and worthy cause — which before he Today, showed up here existed-only marginally in the city. the Red Cross has a new office which, among other things, is paid for from the proceeds of Young’s tournament, proceeds which amounted to over $13,000 last year and a total of’more than $35,000 over the four years since the first tournament. “‘It’s a nice way to give back one way or another. Maybe give back isn’t the right word. To be involved in charity and to be involved in the community."” The event is no backwoods, second-rate tournament either, Over the years, local golfers who have played in the tournament have brushed shoulders with movie stars, athletes and media celebrities from across Canada and the United States. Young’s got four major sponsors who’ve been with the tourney sinee it began — AirBC, Celgar, Sandman Inn and Labatt’s — and as a good marketing man, he never fails to mention them in every interview and im- pose on the interviewer how important it is that they are mentioned. It’s that kind of attitude that keeps Young winning, moving ahead, achieving goals. It’s that ind of attitude that might keep him around with the Lions even after everyone else has gone through the revolving door that is a professional sports franchise. It’s also that kind of attitude that makes Young say things like: **I promised Murray (Pezim) a break-even year this year, so certainly, the pressure’s on. But, again, it’s the type of job you have to perform. That’s what football is. Whether it’s the front office or coaching side, it’s producing, and if you can’t, somebody else.’’ of course they’ll find One wonders if Pezim did give Young the axe whether it would really be that big of a blow to a man who’s already seen and done so much, or whether it would just be an opportunity for him to move on to the next chapter in Jim Young — The Sequel. again as the Castlegar Kickers were booted 9-1 by the East Trail Raiders in Sunningdale in the under-12 division. On the bright side, the Kickers’ Ryan Fontes continues to have the scoring touch getting his fifth goal in three games in the loss. And though nine goals isn’t. a bright side for Kickers goalie Shand Fowlie, he was spectacular facing a torrent of Trail shots in the game. In the other under-12 division game, the Tornado got two goals from Brad Abietkoff in a 2-0 exhibition win over Slocan/Win- law. On Monday, the Kickers and Tornado solved nothing in their first meeting of: the regular season as they battled to a scoreless tie at Kiwanis Field. And it was back to the grind for the X-Men in the other game Monday as they lost 4-0 at home to the Beaver Valley Hustlers. All three teams are back on the field again Monday as the Tor- nado travels to Beaver Valley to take on the Dragons, while the Kicker stay at home to meet the Warfield Lions. The older Lions will also be in town to take on the X-Men in the under-14 division game. The game starts at 5 p.m. and the Kickers’ game will follow. | THE NUMBERS GOLF 2.
