Paying compliments where complim

I’ve never been comfortable when it comes to compliments, and it doesn’t matter whether I’m on the giving or the receiving end.

I think it stems from the fact that some people treat them with little sin- cerity, kind of an off the cuff thing that really isn’t a compliment at all.

And then there are the people who expect one for every little thing they do, even when it isn’t warranted.

So with that in mind, I’m quite hap- py to know I’ve done a good job with- out someone else telling me, whether they’re sincere or not.

And if someone else has done some- thing worthwhile, then I'll leave it up to them to pat themselves on the back because I don’t really know how they'll interpret what I'll say.

But things changed last week on both fronts, when three people who seem quite happy to go through life with a “Hi” and “How are ya” in my presence took time to stop and say they liked what I had written of late.

Seeing as they were three men who appear to be pretty serious, I was quite honored, since I’m always being kidded that no one reads sports.

And it was soon after that the chance to pay someone, or rather sev- eral someones, else a compliment arose.

Now, I’m pretty sure that the people in question aren’t doing it for their share of the spotlight.

But if that was the case, then they

haven't shown it.

The people I’m talking about are each and everyone. who had some- thing to do with the annual Jim Young Celebrity Golf Tournament last week at our local course.

For space reasons, it isn’t possible to personally salute everyone who added their two cents to the cause, but I can acknowledge them as a group.

First, and foremost, is the tourna- ment’s namesake himself, Jim Young. This is a man who is quite happy to come out to Castlegar each year and lend his ex-Canadian Football League mug to the tournament.

Granted, he did put in some time as the manager at the local Sandman Inn, but that doesn’t mean there’s an obligation to the city where he once earned a paycheque.

It’s quite an honor to see and meet a man who could honestly put “Mem- ber of CFL Hall of Fame” on a resume if he needed a job, yet he doesn’t act like a person who has earned a per- manent place in Hamilton.

No, he was just one of the 130 who went out on a hot Thursday in July to make some money for a local charity.

And speaking of local charity, there are the folks from the Red Cross who have done enough leg work for the tourney that maybe a Bronze Cross is in order for both of them.

Led by Harry Grossmith and Gary Ockenden, they’ve turned the tourna- ment into one that earns more money

ents are due

with each passing year.

Sure, some might think they work so hard because they know the Red Cross’s bank account will swell annu- ally, and what’s so wrong with that kind of work ethic?

But from what I know and have been told, there’s more motivation to make sure everyone has a good time rather than how much can be carted off to the bank.

Instead of laying all the kudos at the feet of those two, there are three others who've done their share of the work as well.

They were there months before, getting everything on line to make sure the tournament was as much a success this year as it had been the previous four, and they'll be working on it months after in the hopes that

the next four, and the next four etc. will follow that trend. Geez, they even played in it.

Those three are Alex Birukow, Carl Henne and Stosh Uchida. If you didn't know them, chances are they would have blended right in last Thursday. No name tags or tournament organiz- er badge. Nothing that would have led you to believe they were out there as anything but golfers.

And then there are the celebrity types who came out to lend their name and face to the cause and play a round of golf.

It is true that some of these guys are pulling in big bucks in the even bigger cities, but they haven't forgot- ten their roots and what it’s like to pay something back to the people who watch the games, buy the merchan- dise and support the team.

And what about the sponsors? Money’s tight these days, yet Air B.C., Celgar, Labatt’s and the Sandman were out again for the fifth year.

Lastly are the people at the course who make it worth coming out to.

Looking beyond greens guru Nick Sherstibitoff and his crew, you have the pro shop men who were more than happy to suit everybody up who need- ed it, and the women in the club house who made sure everyone was happy before heading out on one and after coming in off 18. .

These are compliments I’m quite comfortable with.

Wimps invade local course Annual memorial tourney set to roll

NEWS STAFF

For now, Dick Braun is the biggest wimp in Castlegar, but that doesn’t mean you can go and kick sand in his face.

Braun was the winner of the annual Wimp Open at the Castlegar golf course Sunday, coming in with a 75, one stroke better than Aaron Stoushnow.

Assistant pro Steve John- ston said the course is tight- ened up for the tourney, as the golfers hit from the ladies’ tees to greens where the hole is near the front.

“The Wimp Open is pretty much a short course,” he said.

And though pictures of weaklings all over the course may come to mind, Johnston said the tournament's title is deceiving.

(ihe News

There's something for everyone!

“It’s supposed to be short and easy, but the flags are at the front on slopes, so it’s not that easy,” he said.

Johnston said the Wimp is similar to the Iysnman Open, where the course is stretched instead of shortened from the tournament tees to pin place- ments at the back of the greens, but is intended to be fun more than competitive.

“It’s like the Ironman, but it’s not as serious,” he said.

Jim Proud took low net honors with a 59, while Nick Ogloff shot 63 and George In- fanti was two back at 65.

Diane McAfee took the ladies title with a 79, while Kay Hominiuk was low net with 71.

Scott Clifford was top junior with an 85.

Local golfers looking to have fun and help out a wor- thy cause at the same time should mark August 2nd on their calendars.

On that day, the annual Dan Markin-Mark Lightle memorial tournament tees it up at the local course with all proceeds going to the Canadi- an Cancer Society.

The tournament was start- ed by Lightle in 1990 as a trib- ute to his friend Markin, who

had passed away from cancer.

Less than a month later, Lightle died in Calgary, and his name was added to the tournament he helped start.

Although the tournament is for a serious cause, Kay Markin said that’s all that will be serious about it.

“We want everybody to come out and have fun,” she said.

The tournament raised some $700 last year, roughly double that of 1990, but Markin said everything is still

trial and error.

“We learn something new every year,” she said, “and with every year we're trying to streamline it and make it more organized.”

Open to “everybody and anybody,” Markin said she would like to have all entries in by the 27th, but said she would be more than happy to accommodate any latecomers.

Inquiries can be made by calling the pro shop at 365- 5006 or organizer Aaron Stoushnow at 365-7099.
