CRIPPLED North Vancouver skier Jim Milina has
been longing for this day for more than two

, months

, The 18-year-old former
Argyle student has been
lying in a bed in &.
Michael’s Hospital, Toronto,
for five- weeks, since he
became’ paralyzed when he
fell in a fréestyle acrobatic
jump while skiing with the
Labatts team in an indoor
exhibition.

Tonight (Wednesday) the
skiing star who had hopes of
being selected for the Winter

‘Olympics and who is

 kegarded as the top freestyle
skier in B.C., arrives in
Vancouver on the Labatts
jet.

He will be accompanied
by his mother, Joan Milina
and his two sisters, Jane and
Lesley — who have been in
Toronto since the October 8
accident — as well as by his
father, Tony Milina, who
flew to Toronto specially to
make the journey home with

His father says Jim will
initially be going to GF
Strong Rehabiliation Centre,
in Shaughnessy while the
Milina family prepares for

' the changes they will have to
incoprorate in their lives in
order for Jim to return to the
family home at 1662 Evelyn.

But even returning to
Vancouver is a great boost
to the skier and Tony Milina
says his son is in excellent
spirits.

DETERMINATION
Throughout his
hospitalization, Jim has

maintained a positive at-
titude and determination
that his father attributes to

the progress he has already
made.

“He is in excellent spirits
and hasn't had a down yet.
Jim is so determined he is
going to be mobile.”

No arcade-council

PINBALL wizards won't be
practicing at JIrd and
Lonsdale. North Vancouver
City council refused an
application Monday for a
business licence for a pinball
arcade at ll6 East 3 Street.

It’s not that they have
anything against pinball
arcades, various council

members said, but they don't

want one near 3rd and
Lonsdale.
“We don’t want to

. compound the problem (at

Third and, Lonsdale),” said
Alderman Bill Sorenson. “I
won't grant one at that
location.”
