Nick Chernott of Trowelex Rentals teamed up with the Castlegar Rotary Club to provide the Castlegar and District Heritage Society with a new chainsaw CosNews Photo by John Charters Society gets chainsaw By JOHN CHARTERS The Castlegar and District Heritage’ Society has a new chainsaw, thanks to the Castle- gar Rotary Club and Trowelex Rentals The Rotary Club sponsored the initial Zuckerberg Island Park Project in 1983, provided the first funds for the building of the bridge, a second year’s sponsorship, and has provided an annual donation of $500 and work party each year since that time. Half of last year’s grant went to buy paint purchased at cost from Oglow’s Paints and Wallcoverings and was used on the bridge by the Castlegar and District Development Board crew The other $250 went to pur chase a chainsaw at cost from Trowelex. The saw in turn is badly needed to keep the out- rageous peripheral growth of jackpines on the island in check and for projected restoration work on the log house. Logs for the restoration have been purchased from the new Oh Gee Logging Company, and were delivered at no extra cost by Olaf Gundersen as a gift to the society. The logs were then peeled for drying by Harry Killough who also donated his work to the society. Paid student guides and vol- unteers have enabled the society to keep the chapel house open to visitors for 66 hours a week, with an average daily attendance of 68. Sunday is the best day, averaging 106 visitors. The soc- iety has acknowledged the vol- unteer services of Friends of the Island members, Joe and Harry Killough, Michelle Bouvette, and Gail Moodie Last Thursday saw the sixth wedding — the fourth this year — solmenized on the island. All have been performed by Mar- riage Commissioner Polly Cher- noff and arranged for by society executive members Bunny Char- ters and Verna Keraiff and member Bruce Charters. WELCOME TO THE 52% TAX BRACKET. Rec news tetera ieee The 8th Annual Terry Fox Run is only one month away. It will happen on Sept. 18, This year we would like to make the Terry Fox Event much more visible in Castlegar by putting a challenge out to you. “I got satisfaction out of doing things that were difficult. It was an incredible feeling. The pain was there, but the pain didn’t matter. But that's all a lot of people could see; they couldn't see the good-that I was getting out of it myself." The words of Terry Fox are those of an incredibly selfless man whose aim was to fight and win. In 1980, Terry began that fight as he em- barked on his Marathon of Hope across Canada to help raise fands for cancer research. His fight was to end on June 28, 1980 and in the months to follow a saddened Canada honored and remembered Terry. Last year Castlegar raised $366 with only 66 people participating. This year we can and will do better.

GREEN, Acting City Clerk SAN DIEGO (AP) — Montreal rookie Brian Holman says he’s been feeling great on the mound. But that confidence hasn't translated over to the scoreboard or his record with the Expos. Holman gave up seven hits and four runs in five innings Tuesday night as Keith Moreland and Tony Gwynn led the San Diego Padres to a 6-2 National League baseball victory over Montreal. “I felt good,’’ Holman said. ‘‘I can’t understand it. “It seems like I'feel almost too good when I go out. There’s nothing I can do except just give it everything I have." Since\June 20, Expos starters have gone 22-11 and everyone but Holman has a winning record. Holman, who was brought up from the Expos’ Triple-A club in Indianapolis June 25S, is 2-S. In his last six games, he has lost four and won one. Holman said he doesn’t think he was brought up too early “I feel good, and I know I belong (in the “This is hard for me to accept because I want to win as much as anyone out there.” As for the game Tuesday, he said: ‘‘I had a good fastball and changeup. I threw good pitches, but they got hits.’’ Manager Buck Rodgers held a private meeting Expos lose ground in Padre victory with Holman after the game. “Holman has got to relax,’’ Rodgers said, “That's what I told him.’’ Asked if Holman would remain in the starting rotation, he said: ‘‘At this point we have to stick with him. We feel the wins will come around. Now he’s the best we've got. To bring up someone at this point would mean that we'd have a break-in period again.” And Rodgers said the loss wasn't due to bad pitching so much as it was to good hitting. “They hit some good pitches off him,’’ he said. Moreland hit a pair of run-scoring singles while Gwynn went 3-for-3 to raise his average to .320. Gwynn brought in two runners with a single and a double before being walked intentionally. “‘He’ll win the batting title but I don't want to put any pressure on him,"’ Padres’ manager Jack McKeon said. Gwynn, who is batting .426 in his last 14 games, trails Gerald Perry of the Atlanta Braves by one point in the batting race. “T haven’t given it much thought,’ said Gwynn, who led the league with a .370 average last season. “Tonight I was just waiting back to hit my pitch. “I'm just trying to make good, consistent con- tact."” JOHNSON-LEWIS SHOWDOWN August 17, 1988 D Kootenay Savings FLYING ALONG . . .

But the truth is, every time you open a beer, that’s how much of it is going to We don’t suppose that anyone feels Federal and Provincial taxes. In fact, 52% is the national average. Since the recent provincial tax hike here in British Columbia, we're actually paying more than 56%, which is one of the highest rates anywhere in the free world. To get specific, of the $10.80* Canadians pay for 12 bottles of domestic beer, $5.62 goes to Federal and Provincial taxes, $2.31 is spent on production, $1.08 on labour, 86¢ on sales and distribution and 76¢ goes to packaging and recycling. The brewer makes 17¢ profit on the case, or 1.4¢ per bottle. We think beer taxes are already too high and should be kept from climbing higher. And we wanted you to know the facts, so that next time Rivals race today ZURICH (CP) — Ben Johnson of Toronto and American rival Carl Lewis have been reduced to duelling with words, not flying feet. But, today, the two fastest sprint- ets in the world are due to have their first 100-metre showdown since Johnson set a world record time of 9.83 seconds in beating Lewis in the title race of the 1987 world track and field championships in Rome. Lewis, the 1984 Olympic champion at 100 metres and in three other events, equalled the previous record of 9.93. Since then the two have avoided each other, running different events on those occasions when they showed up at the same meet. The purse for the showdown today is set at between $500,000 and $700,000. It will be the only meeting between the two until the Seoul Olympics, in which they hope to peak in five weeks’ time Johnson is ‘‘at or near peak form’’ after recovering from a hamstring injury in February, manager Larry Heidebrecht said on the eve of the Weltklasse meet, one of the stops on the Grand Prix circuit. Last week, Johnson said he feels “100-per-cent ready for an Olympic title and for a new world record. Could Johnson, 26, the Canadian apolis. Johnson pushed himself to 9.98 last Thursday at a high-altitude meet at Sestriere, Italy, where Lewis ran the 200. Two weeks ago, the world champ- ion showed he was revving up, posting a wind-aided 9.90 in the Can- adian track championships in Ottawa. And Johnson has a streak to de- defend. He has beaten Lewis in their last six meetings, dating back to 198S. Lewis holds an overall 10-8 edge. “I think it’s the biggest pay day ever for two sprinters,” said Heide- brecht, adding that the pair will split the purse, with Trans World Inter- national getting a slice. TWI is handling the sale of overseas TV rights. The largest previous purse for a single track and field race is believed tobe the $300,000 for the Mary Decker-Zola Budd race in London a year after their collision in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. Kings turn down Lafleur's offer LOS ANGELES (CP) — if Guy Lafleur does indeed attempt an NHL comeback after a four-year hiatus, it won't be with the Los Angeles igs. The Kings, who set the hockey world on its ear last week by ac- quiring Wayne Gretzky from the Ed- monton Oilers, announced Tuesday that Lafleur’s request for an invita- tion to the Kings’ pre-season camp in Victoria had been rejected. “Because of my deep respect for Guy and natural curiosity I was more than happy to discuss this possibility Vachon was a teammate of La- fleur’s with the Montreal Canadiens. Lafleur, who led the Canadiens to four consecutive Stanley Cup champ- ionships in the late 1970s, retired in 1984. He is 36. In Montreal, Yves Tremblay, La- fleur’s agent, says Lafleur is also seeking a tryout with the Detroit Red Wings, the Pittsburgh Penguins and the New York Rangers. “We believe that Guy can play for another two years,’’ Tremblay said. Vachon declined to say a money anyone suggests raising taxes on beer, you can ask yourself what’s fair. *Prices may vary by brand and region Sees ee ee ee ee The Brewers of Canada.

Mets bounce Giants By The Associated Press In the heat of the East, the Mets’ bats have been weak. But in the chill of Candlestick Park, New York heated up. The Mets scored nine runs in the first inning against San Francisco and beat the Giants 13-6 Tuesday night. The Mets remained 51 games ahead of the Pitts- burgh Pirates in baseball's National League East. “The cool weather definitely was refreshing, no question about it,’’ said Mookie Wilson, who had two hits and scored two runs — in the first inning. ‘‘The nine runs helped more than the weather did, I'll tell you."" ve never seen anything as tough as that first inning,"’ Giants manager Roger Craig said. Dwight Gooden, who won for the first time in four starts, waited 35 minutes after the start of the game to face his first batter.

Pisk led the White Sox’ attack with a two-run homer and an RBI single. Fisk’s homer in the third was his 11th of the season. The homer gives him 31S overall and 295 as a catcher, 18 behind Yogi Berra’s American League mark. When Fisk steps behind the plate tonight, he will tie a league record of 1,805 games for an AL catcher held by Wes Ferrell. “| guess it’s my genetics,” says Fisk who will be 41@n Dec. 27. ‘‘But, I've lived through what I thought was @ career ending injury in 1974, and who placed second in the 50 back, fourth in the 100 individual medley, 50 fly, SO breast, and 100 free, and fifth in the SO free.
