Jocks learn to cook

ATHLETE AND entrepreneur Brent Gough has many interests: hockey, skiing, golf, tennis — and teaching other men to cook.

“Sports and cooking sort of complement each other. You have a few games, get hungry, go home and put dinner together for the guys. It’s cheaper than eating out all the time and a lot more fun,’’ Gough says.

A North Shore resident, Gough runs a home-based import-export business and teaches Survival Skills for the Man in the Kitchen at North Shore Continuing Educa- tion.

cooking, but some of them aren’t comfortable learning from a woman,'’ Gough says. “In my class I had men from 20 to 60 — everything from single to divorced to happily married — and they all had a great time.”

The informal, hands-on evening classes create instant male cama- raderie, he says.

Originally the course was designed for single men, but Gough found that there were also a number of married men who wanted to take over some of the family cooking.

Back problems won't stop WV tennis duo from playing

PAM HUNTER will be forging forward to play tennis doubles with her daughter Susie Fought in the Remington International Fami- ly Championship despite an in- jured back.

“t think I'm going to make it, but only just.” Hunter, 57, said.

The West Vancouver duo earned a berth in the championship after defeating defending national champions Nancy and Karen Kerr of Toronto last September — the same team they'd fost to in the previous tournament final.

But it was touch and go whether Hunter, who has a recurring back problem, would be able to play in

Since working with a physiotherapist and chiropractor, Hunter said Thursday she will start swimming and hitting the ball again.

“Today really is the first day I feel a lot better in myself,’’ she said.

Hunter and Fought, 26, leave Friday for the April 22 to 27 tour- nament in Port St. Lucie, Florida. Hunter is hoping she'll gain one day's grace in addition to a prac- tice day before competing.

“We possibly may not play until the Monday which will give me an extra day,”’ she said.

Canada, who is also represented by two father-son teams, is seeded third in the Kiam Cup, the team event named after Remington president Victor Kiam III who de- veloped the family championship.

In the first round of Cup play, Hunter and Fought will meet Japan.

Hunter is keeping her fingers crossed for her back but said that Fought is prepared for the tourney.

“She's playing really hard and really well. I'm hoping I can hold my end up and don’t make too many mistakes.”’
