July, Bruno in England in September and Biggs in November.

Thomas lost his WBC title a year ago to former Cah- adian champion Trevor Ber- bick, who Tyson beat for the title last November.

Thomas, 29, 29-1-1, won his last two fights,’ both knock- outs in the seventh round, over Danny Sutton on March 7, and Williams Hosea last Nov. 22.

Bike race scheduled

in Alberta, British Columbia and United States.

The first annual race held in June of 1986 attracted a team from Vancouver, Kim- berley and Cranbrook.

Several calls were received from Edmonton but due to no insurance and the possibil- ities of no insurance at all the racers did not plan to come down.

Entries were received from Lethbridge, Alberta. The overall winner of last years race was also the 1984 road champion of British Col umbia.

Former manager to stand trial

CALGARY (CP) — The former ticket for

connection with U.S. dis-

the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics has been commit- ted to stand trial on seven criminal. charges relating to distribution of ticket order forms in the United States.

Jim McGregor, 37, was committed to trial at the con- clusion Friday of a five-day preliminary hearing. No date has been set, but it's likely to be held.in the fall, said Crown prosecutor Bruce Fraser.

About 300 witnesses tes- tified at the preliminary hearing. Provincial court Judge Brian Stevenson granted a defence request banning publication of evi dence.

McGregor was charged last October with two counts of fraud, two counts of theft and one count of mischief. Additional charges of forgery and uttering a forged doc ument were read to him by Stevenson when the prelim inary hearing began Monday.

The charges carry a max- imum sentence of 10 years in prison.

McGregor has been free on bail since shortly after the

tial charges were laid in

of ticket forms for the Olympics next February. FINDS PROBLEM

Police discovered that some order forms distributed in the U.S. had a different return address o nthem than that of the organizing com- mittee. The address turned out to be that of a postal box rented by a company partly mainly by McGregor.

McGregor was placed on a leave of absence shortly after the ticket forms were dis- tributed last September. The next day, Olympic officials said there were irregularities in the U.S. order forms and police were called in to in- vestigate.

The committee said at the time that McGregor was fired for breach of his em- ployment contract and man- agement practices and the decision was independent of the police investigation.

Prior to taking the Olym- pic job in 1985, McGregor served as ticket manager for the 1978 Commonwealth Games and 1983 World Uni- versity Games, both in Ed- monton.

No space for wheelchair

NANAIMO (CP) — Ross Villmin is being crowded out of a bowling ionship because organizers say there is no room for his wheelchair.

Villmin, a resident of this Vancouver Island city, said he was told he couldn't participate in this weekend's Vancouver Island five-pin bowling championship to be held at Nanaimo's Fiesta Lanes.

Villmin was one of five men who. tried out for the house team at the city's Brechin Lanes. With a minimum of five members needed for a team, all five were considered to be on the team.

“Now John Brittain (Brechin’s manager), has eome and told me I can't participate because there won't be enough room for the wheelchair,” Villmin said.

Villmin, who has been in a wheelchair for 26 years, is a regular bowler at Brechin Lanes, which will host the B.C. championships for the physically disabled later this year.

The Nanaimo resident thinks it’s his ability, not disability that is the issue.

“What they're doing here is not sportsmanlike at all and it's just wrong on principle,” said Villmin. “If it was a question they didn't feel I was a good enough bowler why didn’t someone have enough guts to say so to my face.”

But Brittain said Vollmin's bowling ability is not in question and that the decision to exclude him was the consensus of the tournament's organizer.

“It never crossed my mind and I know that is not what the others had in mind when they made the decision,” Brittain said. “If I even thought for a momefit anyone was working that way I would simply have pulled my house out of the tournament.

“I don't operate that way and never will.”

FOOD SOLD AT NIGHT

* ON STREETS

Editor's note: Following is the conclusion of a letter from Rishia McDowell, a Castlegar Rotary Exchange student living in Tokyo.

Feb. 2%

In the library at my school, I found a recipe book. Japanese cooking printed in English. Here's a recipe for Yakitori (literally “cooked chicken”).

20 oz chicken, de-boned, cut into bit-sized pieces

% Ib. chicken giblets

2 huge green onions, sliced

1 green pepper, cut into strips.

Place on bamboo skewer, alternating chicken pieces with cut-up vegetalbes. Place on barbecue (hibachi). Baste 3 or 4 times with the following marinade:

2 tbsp. sugar

1 ¢. mirin (rice vinegar)

a c. soya sauce

juice of ‘2 lemon

1 tsp. fresh grated ginger

' ‘sprinkle with “Sansho” (Japanese pepper. Substitute cayenne)

Helpful hint: Soak skewers in water first so they don’t burn.

At night Tokyo streets are filled with little carts on wheels from which food is sold and served. Some sell chestnuts roasted over hot stones. Some sell Ramen (noodles). And some sell yakitori. The combined aromas are ‘an experience! Yum.

I moved to my second home here on Feb. 20. My host father is Dr. Masao Kosaka, a dentist. Mrs. Kosaka is studying English, in case you get an urge to write. They have a daughter my age and two older sons. My host sister, Aki, is a sweet girl. She's a talented musician and has a wonderful sense of humor. We're fast friends already.

I've got a huge vacation coming up — from March 10 until April 10. When school begins again, I'll be in Grade 11. Kimiko and I plan to go on a ski trip with the Rotax group. From April 1-4, I'm traveling with a group of

students from my school to Shikoku — the island immediately south of Honshu.

I just received a letter from an Australian exchange student who went home in Janaury. He's homesick for Tokyo. I think I'll feel that way, too, when it’s time to leave. I'm having such a wonderful time here. Time is flying so quickly! _

It's past bedtime. Must get some afternoon, Canada!

sleep. Good

In closing this correspondence and comment column a recent letter from District Govenor Julian Stephenson to the Castlegar Rotary Club president is worth quoting. Gov. Stephenson's district includes the Rotary Club of Stanger in South Africa where Castlegar Rotary exchange student John Walton spent the year of 1986.

The letter reads in part:

“] think few Rotarians here would deny that we have severe problems but, I think, they are problems which are seldom understood by the outside world and, for those of us who travel overseas, we know only too well that the positive side of life here is not portrayed probably because the negative is considered more newsworthy and your comments are therefore so in line with the thinking of so nffiny people in this country who are desperately anxious to bring about change but who know that it can only be done in a certain manner unless we are to replace such injustices as there are at present With jinjustieés horrifically worse:

“| believe that’ group study ‘exchange’ atid student exchange programs are as essential as you say and it is certainly not one way traffic because, not only does our student give people in other parts of the world a better appreciation of what goes on here, but also our student comes back here with a great appreciation of the way of life elsewhere and this can only be to the benefit of the future South Africa.”

The letter ends with an invitation to write or visit, an offer of warm hospitality, a superb rate of exchange and the assurance that “visitors to this country are as safe as they are anywhere in the world.”

Charters’s note: I am pleased to note that Mary Campbell (mother of CasNews pub! Campbell) has just celebrated an importan lay, and is the recipient of many good wishes from near and far. Since no gentleman mentions a lady's years, I offer a quotation from a favorite source in salute to her new age: “Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale her infinite variety” — Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra.

Study suggests Alzheimer link

NEW YORK (AP) — Some cases of Alzheimer's disease may follow an immune-sys- tem attack on the natural shield that guards the brain from harmful substances, a U.S. study suggests.

Researchers who studied blood of Alzheimer's patients found:antibodies that attack the inner lining of blood ves- sels, part of the “blood- brain barrier,” said Dr. How- ard Fillit of Rockefeller Uni- versity

The finding suggests such an attack might set the stage for some cases of Alzheimer's by weakening the shield and letting some harmful agent in the blood escape into the brain, he said.

“It's a path down which we can do research,” said Fillit, a clinical immunologist.
