Trail p on Olym

In the Vancouver Sun

CALGARY — Maybe the earliest scene stored in Steve Tambellini's memory cells is the one where he is sitting on his father's knee, riding in an open car, with 25,000 people lining the streets, cheering. *

The Trail Smoke Eaters had just won the 1961 World Hockey Chi ips in Geneva. Assi: captain Addie Tambellini, a quick little centre and left winger, was among those waving to the proud folks of the Kootenay smelter town. The kid on his lap was three.

“I remember being with my dad and the players wore big red coats. Those big, heavy, red coats . . . I can still see them,” says the kid, who will soon be 30.

It is because of this warm heritage, and a few other things, that Steve Tambellini, centre and left wing, is tingling with the prospect of playing for Canada's Olympic team.

He was struggling for q regular spot with the Vancouver Canucks when the Olympic team requested his services. “It was an opportunity I couldn't pass up,” says Tambellini. “Pat Quinn and Brian Burke were very supportive when we discussed my leaving. The player has the final say and I didn’t want to miss this. Five years ago this kind of thing was not available to NHL players.”

Since he had played two seasons with the NHL Flames, going back to Calgary for a month was no foreign assignment. When he moved his wife and two children into the house of Carey Wilson, recently traded from the Flames to Hartford, he was intimate with the neighborhood.

He talks like a man who has a blind date with destiny and has a deliciously expectant feeling he might get lucky.

He is a much better player on the expansive inter national ice than he is in the intimidating hook, grab and slash confines of the NHL.

He has thrived in previous engagements on the big ice, in the 1980 Izvestia Tournament when he was with New

York Islanders, and when he played for Don Cherry in the 1981 World Tournament in Sweden.

“Having 15 more feet of ice allows me to use my skills, he says. “It allows me to skate and handle the puck. It's different gamié. The NHL is more stop and go; this is constant motion. I didn't find adjusting that hard because that’s how I want to play.”

Coach and g.m. Dave King considers Tambellini a windfall. “He's highly skilled; in the larger rink he's comparable to the Europeans. He'll help on the power play and that can win games. He has good speed, great physical conditioning, and he feels comfortable with the other players.”

“Feeling comfortable,” is an agreeable phrase to describe the situation which occurs when NHLers — Tam- bellini, Tim Watters, Jim Peplinski — replace someone who has been paying dues to the program for months, maybe years.

“I don’t like that part any more than anyone else,” says Tambellini, “I just come and do a job. But the guys have been very good.”

He already has become a blood brother, in a manner of speaking. In practice last week a puck deflected off his stick, struck his nose and spilled claret over the ice. “No harm,” he says. “I rebroke an old fracture.”

The team has not played a game since he joined them Jan. 27th, but a week of rehearsals at Lake Placid before returning to Calgary has convinced him of a few things.

“This team is so prepared it's unbelievable,” he says. “The specialty teams, the physical conditioning, the mental preparation . . . the rest is up to us.”

As he leaves practice he has a video under his arm. That night be will study the Soviet and Czech penalty killing.

Playing the point on the power play on the big ice is different than the NHL. The checkers can’t be as aggressive, can't gamble as much. He has to get the feel of that.

CASTLEGAR AN ERA OF RAPID GROWTH

“I remember Castlegar when it was only a name on a water tower at the side of the railway tracks.” Thomas L. Bloomer 1865 - 1950 Pioneer Railwayman in the West Kootenay.

By way of giving some recognition during Provincial Heritage Week to Castlegar’s newly acquired railway Station (Feb. 14-21) and to provide the Citizens of Castlegar with some idea of place that it holds in the history of this area I paid a visit to Selkirk College this week. Here, librarian, historian-researcher and author Ron Welwood introduced me to three volumes of early newspaper clippings. ‘Exerpts of Local History’, edited by historian Harold Webber and catalogued by Elaine Sloan. They cover the period from 1896 to 1964 and included items from the Rossland Miner, The Trail Daily Times, the Trail Creek News, the Nelson Daily News and The Tribune.

We are accustomed to think of our valley as being alive with commercial hustle and bustle, of numerous People going about their many activities, and fairly changes. My brief two-day survey of these few pages from 90 years ago revealed a world in which wheeling and dealing, the rapid growth of transportation, of the

h growth and di of ities of several thousand souls, the race for wealth in mines and forest and the movement of thousands of people not to mention tourism and recreation was even more spectac- ular (particularly considering the fact that the national population was only a fraction of what it is today than it is today).

The frenzied construction of a network of railways also gave the boom increased impetus, since millions of railroad ties were needed, while an-entire armada of river boats carried huge qualities of freight and thousand of passengers up and down the lakes and rivers. All of these activities were reported, sometimes in very flowery k by the af ‘ioned papers. Thus, a May 9, 1896 issue of the Trail Creek News opens with:

“There is said to be quite an excitement in the Deer Park. This beautiful region is situated on the eastern shore of the Lower Arrow Lake about 15 to 20 miles from Robson. Then, after a long paragraph estolling the beauties of the area, the article goes on to say that the steamer Nakusp just steamed into Trail with a number of

local citizens who were bursting with the news of a rich gold vein in the hills behind the town of Deer Park. It-also noted the ideal farming and hunting potential of the same area.

One hundred and fifty men had already left for the new find, it said, and others were preparing to follow, a while the “many resounding blasts from the hills indicated that Deer Park country was on the verge of an awakening.

Today there are 60 locations where as many days ago there were only two. Hundreds are turned in that direction and with another winter's snow fall there will be hundreds . . . aye . .. thousands on the hills that surround Deer Park, “with pick and shovel eagerly searching for that which all fiven hunger . . . gold.”

Reflections

& recollections

TRAIN STATION . . . A postcard picture of the Castlegar Railway station courtesy of Stan Sher- stobitott collector. of historic memorabilia. Anyone

One lady (a Mrs. Anderson), it was noted, went to visit her claims, dug out a token barrow load of gold quartz in the Wild Horse tunnel and wheeled it to the dump.

However/ judging by the number of brothels (in in Brooklyn?) in all of these settlements, many more women preferred to get their gold more directly — from the miners. It was never mentioned in the press of course.

The Columbia and Kootenay Navigation Steam Company meanwhile, was taxed to the utmost limit to do business on the Arrow Lakes, Kootenay Lake and the Columbia and Kootenay rivers.”

On June 15, 1898 contracts for the construction of the 100-mile long Columbia and Western Railroad from Robson to Midway had been let by the CPR at a cost of $3,000,000.00 (a huge sum in those days). It was expected to be completed within the year, and would connect up to the Robson to Nelson line.

On that same date, the CPR’s newest and fastest (24 mph on calm water) steamship, the Rossland made her maiden voyage to Arrowhead.

Tourism was also making a bid for the visitor's dollar. The July 1, 1898 edition of the Rossland Miner states: “The CPR is making a special round trip from various points in Kootenay to the Halcyon Hot Springs ... a famous watering place on Upper Arrow Lake, at one time the property of Captain Sanderson, its discoverer .- +. It is a delightful 10-hour trip and a weleome change for the visitor from the necessary confinement, dust and heat of a railway journey.”

who knows the date of the picture is requested to contact the Castlegar News.

And lest we forget August 26, 1898 — “Among other great things within its confines,” says the same paper, “West Kootenay will have a 300-foot tunnel, one of the longest on the continent . . . located on the Columbia and Western Railway, now a part of the CPR system, about three miles from Brooklyn and at an altitude of about 2000 feet above the Columbia River.

A quick jump now to January 18, 1902 and this item: “The completion of the Robson bridge (CPR bridge) which will be open to passenger traffic in a week or two, several changes will result. A handsome station is to be erected by the CPR at Castlegar (the water tower, remember?) which is at the west end of the bridge. Boundary trains will run through from Nelson, and the Rossland trains will be run right through to Nelson, connecting at Castlegar for Boundary. (Back to the ancient Indian pattern and the beginning of the ‘hub’).

The story ends (for this week) with a February 9, 1907 report: “The depot at Castlegar was burned to the ground at an early hour on Thursday morning and the agent W.H. Gage (and his wife and two children) narrowly escaped with personal effects amounting to about $3,000. The building was insured for $6,000.

‘Phe passenger service was soon continued in a new station (the present ‘old’ station house) which has sur- vived to the present day. It was moved to its present nearby heritage site on November 3, 1987 through the efforts of the city of Castlegar, the Castlegar Heritage Advisory Committee and the British Columbia Heritage Trust. It stands once again as a reminder to all that those who have no past have no future.

He urged those at the

“This deal was Ronald Reagan's idea, cooked up to support the declining Ameri. can economy, and imposed on Canadians by an orchestrat: ed campaign of protectionist blackmail,” he claimed.

“The NDP nomination campaign has come at a good time, because we have five good candidates on the road telling the truth about the Mulroney government's trade deal. It's essential that the people of Kootenay West- Revelstoke be well-informed on trade and other issues by the time the federal election is called,” Scarlett said.

Scarlett also spoke this week in Trail on Wednesday and in Montrose on Friday.
