“Our theme is that we are bringing in many great ath- letes from around the world to compete against our own great athletes,” said Dr. Doug Clement, one of the meet organizers, “We want to show people that Canada has some Wayne Gretzkys in track and field, too.

“This meet will be run as an entertainment package. There won't be the usual delays you see at most meets. We'll be finished in just over two hours. There will’ be select, tight fields, purely by invitation.”

Clement said he expects 50 to 60 athletes will be mem- bers of Canada’s 1984 Olym- pic track and field team and the rest of the field will

“hopefully be world-class, with world-class perfor- mances.” SET RECORD

Coghlan, 30, who trains in New York at Columbia Uni- versity, set the world indoor mile record this winter at three minutes, 49.78 seconds in a meet at East Rutherfi

he should easily be under the Canadian native mark of 8:65.5.

“My main target this sum- mer is the 5,000 metres at the world championships,” added Coghlan. “I'd like to set the world record in that event, although perhaps I'm being a little too itious.”

N.J. Ther outdoor record of 8:47.83 was set last year by Sebastian Coe of England.

The game of his life

INGLEWOOD, CALIF. {AP) — The smallest member of Los Angeles Lakers took a little pressure off the biggest one.

And that was a major factor as the def Na-

Blazeres 4-1 in their best-of- seven Western Conference semifinal series.

The Lakers, who are at- tempting to become the first NBA team to win back-to-

tional Basektball Association champions took their first

step toward repeating that

title.

Guard Norm Nixon had what Los Angeles coach Pat Riley called the game of his life as the Lakers topped Portland Trail Blazers 116- 108 in the only NBA playoff scheduled Tuesday night.

Nixon, six-foot-two, scored 21 of his career-high 36 points in a decisive first half as the Lakers elimi: d the Trail

“I thought it was critical for me to have a strong game tonight from’ a shooting standpoint,” said Nixon, who made, only five of 18 floor shots,in scoring 10 points as Portland won the fourth game 108-95 last Sunday. “It was great that I was able to come out and hit my first few shots,

Medal winner dead at 90

MONTREAL (CP) — A funeral was held Tuesday for ‘George Ritchie Hodgson, 90, who won two gold medals in swimming for Canada at the 1912 Stockholm Olympic Games. Hodgson died Sun- day at a home for the aged.

At one time he held world records in the 400-metre “trudgen” — a cross between

the crawl and the sidestroke — the 1,000 metres, 1,500 metres and the mile.

At the 1912 Olympics, he won gold medals in the 400- and 1,500-metre freestyle events. He also competed at the 1920 Antwerp Games.

Hodgson piloted flying boats off the coast of England during the First World War.

PRESENTING A TOKEN ... . Pate Oglow (centre), presid of the Ki y Doukhobor Historical

Society, presents two of his hand-carved s; ons ‘to Rotary visitors Tony Hird (left) and James Goddier.

The Kootenays revisited

The mallards along the river have paired up now and are no longer transient visitors; the great fluid, mobile “vs” of Canada geese streaming across the sky have all but disappeared and I will miss their brief stops at the pond — 50 to 150 at a time — where they stopped for a rest, a feed and a. noisy gossip before heading off up the lake again. They needed no hosts or guides, for they are citizens of the continent, or perhaps the world, for Iremember seeing them at Leeds castle, Henry VIII's favorite country home, hob-nobbing with the Australian black swans in the castle moat. Quite at home they were too.

Somehow they remind me of our Rotary International study group visitors who came for a few days just before Easter, dined, rested visited some of our sights, compared notes with their own Lake country and Yorkshire Downs (shades of “All Things Great and Small”) and then left for other engagements in Washington and Idaho.

The team consisted of six men — five R

clearing, topped, trimmed, grabbed in handfuls by giant tongs and loaded with surprising precision on equally large logging trucks. : ~

Strangely, I cannot recall any sounds other than the

death ery of the trees and the roar of the machines — no shouts of the men, shriek of whistles, hum of saws or thunk of axes as I recall from earlier and simpler times — only the roar against the silence of the hill-top, the evergreens and the snow.

Paradoxically, the entire scene created in my mind the

impression of a pack of carnivorous dinosaurs attacking and eevouring with single-minded savagery a herd of helpless plant eaters and only Grant's voice explaining the various’ machines and logging techniques kept me from tumbling

backwards 60 million years into the age of dinosaurs. After an hour's visit, and very cold feet for one of our guests who had worn only oxfords, we had taken off once

from a great variety of backgrounds and their Rotarian group leader. Two of them — Tony Hird, an auto importer salesman and group leader and James Goddier, a solicitor were the guests of the Castlegar club for most of the week and in effect the City of Castlegar.

The question for us was the same that faces most hosts — where do I take them to give them the broadest view of this corner of our country? . ‘

Since. lumbering.and-pulp manufacture are high-profile -- activities in the area, it was decided that this would be the high profile aspect of their visit here. -

Now, it is an interesting commentary on the fact of human contrariness that we usually know less about our own locality, and visit fewer local places of interest even after years of residence than those who come for only a day or so,

ly fashion and landed on the far shore of the Columbia near a marina where our afternoon host, Wilf Sweeney was. waiting for us at the dock. In a very few minutes more we were trolling smoothly up the lake, socks changed, fishing lines out to port and starboard (“hope springs eternal”), with lunch in hand and glass, while our host discussed the scenic, historic and economic aspects of our lake and we all waited for the hoped for strike on the lines. :

~~Ht was a’b iful day in di and

the royal wedding and the birth of the baby Prince. At the end of the-visit, Pete gave them, again on behalf of the society, one beautifully carved spoon apiece, a token from our country to theirs,

Day three was mill day — saw and pulp, though slightly delayed since I had to take Bunny to hospital first with a' shattered wrist — it had snowed that a.m. Again wasa first for me and I suspect would have been for 95 per cent of the rest of the local citizenry. And again it was truly an experience. We had seen the logs being cut and we had seen them being trucked or floated to the mill. Most have seen the buildings from outside, but I, at least, found it difficult to realize the size and complexity of the operations. Our guides — Wilf Sweeney, pulp mill manager, and Ken Carr, sawmill electrical foreman, took us through each process from raw to finished product — bundles of pure white Kraft pulp and bundles of packagéd lumber.

It is a busy, noisy place but nothing compared to the Barnet mill on Burrard Inlet ‘and my childhood companion. The demonic scream of the headsaw. could be hard quite clearly for a mile (the sound instead of the smell of

iperity?) and since p i wasn't thought those days I suppose that the sawyers were all deaf as

Canada’s first national his- toric park, Fort Arne, was established in 1917 at Anna- polis Royal, in southwestern Nova Scotia.

‘Since then, Parks Canada has developed more than 70 national historic parks and sites representing a variety of historic themes in locations across the country. .

The tour began with a visit to the airport control tower -— not a usual stop for your average visitor, but with certainty an unusual perspective by which to view our community, and with Jim Gouk es tower guide, a most informative beginging.

Then came the helicopter ride (another first for me) with John Kennedy of Highland Helicopters as pilot and forester Grant Parnell providing the infc itary on the woods operation.

Our destination, a logging operation in the Nancy Green Lake area was only a few minutes away in the dragon-fly-like flight of the helicopter and we found ourselves all too soon. stepping out of the aircraft amids' piles of slash, fallen trees and snow. The transformation is truly startling — the leap from the earth where everywhere the grasses and shrubs are green and the crocuses are in bloom, flitting up. through the narrow valleys past precipitous cliffs dotted with startled mountain goats, skimming over the tree tops to land in isolation and winter and clear, spicy mountain air is truly an exhilerating experience. Helicopters beat other forms of transportation all hollow. (This is not a commercial.)
