as " Castlégai News October 21, 1987 Premier to give detai By DAPHNE BRAMHAM Canadian Press VICTORIA — When Premier Bill Vander Zalm addresses his party's ‘annual convention Friday, British Columbia voters might finally get a better idea of what the Social Credit party means when it talks of privati- zation. But don't count on it. After months of hinting about plans to sell off a big chunk of government-run business, Vander Zalm is set to reveal details to about 1,600 Socred members at his first convention since being elected a year ago. While it is unusual to outline government policy at a party convention, the setting will provide the media-con- scious premier a supportive backdrop for his news. And it may also salve some hurt feelings in his 46-member caucus — caught off guard last month when Vander Zalm announced plans to carve the province into eight regions and decentralize many government operations. But exactly what the premier had in mind remains to stay afloat, and the Insurance Corp. of B.C. But two sources had told The Canadian Press that Vander Zalm will instead deal with the contracting out of some services. ROADS INCLUDED ‘The sources — one a senior government official and the other with close ties to the Social Credit party — say the services will include Highways Ministry functions like paving, sign-painting and snow removal; mapping services that are scattered through several ministries; test laboratories; and the printing of government docu- ments. David Poole, Vander Zalm’s principal secretary, said the 80-minute speech will focus on the need to restructure government services rather than on a “short-term” blast of selling assets, Delegates from the Vancouver Centre riding will put forth a the gr wo all Crown that operate in sectors that are already 30-per-cent controlled by private enterprise or could pt d by private ‘sd But whatever the plan, this week's stock market tumble could upset the apple cart. “We sure as heck don't want to embark on that (privatization) process in a falling-market situation,” Finance Minister Mel Couvelier said. Vander Zalm has scheduled a two-hour news con- ference following his speech to detail his plan to reporters. CAN QUESTION On Saturday, a two-hour “town hall meeting” will give delegates their first crack at questioning Vander Zalm since they elected him party leader last August. But longtime party pi doesn't expect a barrage of criticism. “It's been a really exciting year,” she said in an interview. “He (Vander Zalm) has done all the things he said he would and he is going to reduce the provincial deficit’... . Our membership just keeps growing, so it seems that everyone is very happy with what he is doing.” Th forum should be ideal with the exuberant, Dutch-born premier. Vander Zalm, who takes part in a BILL VANDER ZALM . ++ plans are a mystery once-a-month radio phone-in show and travels the province holding similar meetings, névet shies away from such public gatherings. British Columbia is the only province with an active Social Credit party and the only one with a Socred government. Socreds have held power here for all but three of the past 85 years, giving up the reins only once — from 1972 to 1975 — to the NDP under Dave Barrett. Going to © LOW WINTER RATES.» SIMI.

Cranbrook stores fined for opening CRANBROOK, B.C. (CP) — Overwaitea Foods and Canada Safeway Ltd. were fined a total of $10,000 Tues- day for violating British Columbia's Sunday shopping law. Safeway was fined $8,000 dollars for opening on Dec. 21 and 28, 1986, and Jan. 4 and 25, 1987. Overwaitea was fined $2,000 for opening on Dec. 21, 1986. Crown counsel Greg Saw chuk had asked for fines of $2,500 for each infraction. “The Crown is seeking to discourage those who would violate laws of the province for the purpose of making a profit,” he told the court. Provincial court Judge D.M. Waurynchuk convicted the stores Oct. 5 after noting a 1986 ruling by the Ontario Supreme Court which found that although a law pro hibiting stores from opening on Sundays infringed upon personal freedoms guar- anteed by the Charter of Rights, the infringement was allowed under a separate section of the Charter. Sunday and holiday shop- ping is allowed in B.C. municipalities if a referen- dum on the issue is approved by local voters. The stores had not decided whether to appeal the de- cision.

LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals, staring at a hole blacker than Mississippi mud, discovered daylight Tuesday in their trademarks — scrappy hitting and impressive defence. . The Cardinals rallied for three runs off reliever Juan Berenguer in the seventh inning, two coming home on a wrong-field double by Vince Coleman, to defeat the Minnesota Twins 8-1 before of a chilled crowd of 56,347. The victory was the first in the best-of-seven World Series for the Cardinals, who rescued themselves for almost certain elimination. They trail, 2-1, with the fourth game scheduled to be played tonight. “Today told us we were capable of beating these guys,” Cardinal centre fielder Willie McGee said. “We already knew they were capable of beating us.” The victory snapped a five-game losing streak by St. Louis in the World Series. The Cardinals lost the final three games to Kansas City in 1985. Relief pitcher Todd Worrell, who pitched scoreless eighth and ninth innings to help starter John Tudor stop the dominating Twins offence, called the victory “a momentum breaker” for Minnesota. St. Louis struck after Minnesota starter Les Straker, who blanked the Cardinals on four hits through six innings and held a 1-0 lead, was lifted for a pinch hitter in the seventh and replaced by Berenguer. BUNT FAILS ‘The Cardinals scratched up three runs when Jose Oquendo and Tony Pena opened the seventh with singles. Pena had failed in his attempt to lay down a sacrifice bunt, but managed to fight off a two-strike piteh and hit it between Mrst and second base. “We played for one run and got three,” Cardinals manager Whitey Herzog said. “That's our game.

DOWNHILL RACERS Stohl eyes Belczyk hintertux, Austria (CP) — Downhill ski coach Heinz Stohl jokes around more than he complains but he gets downright perturbed when the Canadian men's team doesn't get the respect he thinks it deserves. “I do get a little frustrated in da when people suggest our team isn't accomplishing anything,” said Stohl, who is conducting an annual fall training camp on the Tuxertal glacier for eight Canadian downhillers. As head coach since 1984, Stohl has been rebuilding a team that had its banner years during the Crazy Canucks era of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Todd Brooker, the downhiller who picked up the pace from Steve Podborski and Ken Read, announced his retirement last season. “In Europe they understand it takes time to rebuild a whole team,” Stohl said. “In Canada, if you win once it seems you've then got to start winning all the races before you get much more respect. “That just can't be done and it's not a fair measure of what you're accomplishing.” FORTUNES IMPROVE Assistant coach Bruce Henry said consistency is the real key to the improving fortunes of Canada's team, which has an average age of 21 compared to Austria's 27. “I think what's most impressive is the number of skiers we have in the top 60 who are under 21,” Henry said. “We have five and that is two more than the Austrians.” Stohl said it's only a matter of time. “There are a lot of older, veteran racers on the circuit right now like (Swiss downhill champion) Peter Mueller and Marc Giardelli (of Luxembourg) who are getting near 30,” Stohl said. “They'll be gone within a year after the Olympics. “That means we'll then have the jump on them with our younger racers.” Stohl would like to get two other racers among the top 15 seeds by then. Brian Stemmle, 21, of Aurora, Ont., and Felix Belczyk, 26, of Castlegar, are the most likely to move up. Many experts discount Canada’s chances on the Nakiska course at the 1988 Winter Olympics because the range of skiing — from the steep top to the middle bumps to the flat bottom — will demand the skills of an experienced down- hiller. But Stohl believes Canada has legitimate medal hopes, starting with Rob Boyd of Whistler, B.C. In his sophomore season, Boyd won the World Cup downhill at Val Gardena, Italy, last December. "rob proved last year he can beat the best on a given day and stay with them during the season,” Stohl said. “So I think he can win in Calgary.” going to score too many runs with the lineup we have.” Power-hitter Jack Clark has an injured ankle and Terry Pendleton can only hit lefthanded due to a rib injury. Pendleton, batting for Tudor, bunted the runners into scorin, ig position. “" Then came Coleman, just 1-for-11 in the Series: He sliced an 0-2 pitch barely inside the left-field line to make it 2-1, then stole third and scored an insurance run on Ozzie Smith's single. Berenguer, the Twins’ ace reliever in the American League playoffs, was again hit hard by the Cardinals. He gave up two runs on three hits in Minnesota's 8-4 victory in me 2. Game 4 will be Wednesday night when Frank Viola, who won Game 1, will start for the Twins. Rookie left-hander Greg Mathews will start for St. Louis. Tudor and Worrell checked Minnesota, who scored 18 runs in the first two games, on five hits during the chilliest night of the fall. Twins manager Tom Kelly said the temperature, which “I think Mr. Tudor pitched an outstanding game — that's why we didn't hit the bail,” Kelly said. “We played in the cold. weather last week in Detroit and it didn't bother us.” Even with Tudor pitching well, it appeared it might not be enough. Tudor issued his only two walks of the game starting the sixth and Tom Brunansky broke his bat by reaching across the plate for an outside pitch. His hit dropped into centre field for a RBI single. St. Louis 1217 - 3rd St., Castlegar © 365-7782 f Blues beat Jets 6-2 By The Canadian Press Some 8,619 people showed up at St. Louis Arena, but if a quiz had been held immediately after Tuesday's Na tional Hockey League game, hardly anyone in the crowd would have known that Swedish rookie Robert Nordmark scored two goals. For the record, Nordmark, a 25-year-old defenceman who played with Lulea of the Swedish League last season, and Gino Cavallini both scored twice as the St. Louis Blues won 6-2 over the Jets. Few also would have known that defenceman Gaston Gingras had picked up a goal and an assist in his Blues debut, or perhaps even that the Blues had won their first game in five tries this season at the expense of the Jets. The crowd may have been sitting inside a hockey arena, but their minds were tuned to baseball. For that matter, so were the portable television sets some cuddled in their laps. A few kilometres away, the Cardinals were on their way to beating the Minnesota Twins in the World Series at Busch Stadium. “We knew something was up when one of our guys froze the puck and got an ovation from the crowd,” said Cava realizing the crowd was applauding the play in the baseball game. In other NHL action Tuesday night, Bryan Trottier scored three goals to lead the New York Islanders to a 54 win over the Calgary Flames. * Gingras, traded from the Montreal Canadiens on Oct. 12, put the Blues ahead 2-1 at 11:31 of the first period and Cavallini scored the third goal on a power play for his first goal at 5:41 of the second period. Steve Rooney knocked in a re- bound for Winnipeg but NOrdmark scored early in the third period for a 4-2 lead. Islanders § Flames 4 In Uniondale, N.Y., Trottier'’s three goals — which ‘included the tie- breaker with 7:19 remaining in the game — moved him into a tie with Bobby Clarke for 13th place on the NHL points tist with 1,210. Trottier’s first and second goals gave New York a 3-1 lead over Calgary. The Flames rallied on goals by Hakan Loobh and Joey Mullen but Trottier broke the tie by banging in a rebound. Bob Bassen made it 5-3 at 15:29 on a rebound.

The Twins, who took a 2-0 lead over the St. Louis Cardinals in the best-of-seven World Series before losing the third game 3-1 Tuesday night, don’t want to join. the list of teams that lost a World Series after leading 2-0. Both the Cardinals in 1985 and the Boston Red Sox in 1986 met that fate. “I don't take much stock in that at all,” said Tom Brunansky, who drove in Minnesota's only run Tuesday. still got'to go out and play the games.” However, the Twins do hope this World Series follows the same pattern as their American League playoff victory over the Detroit Tigers. In that series, Minnesota won the first two games at home, lost Game 8 at Detroit and then went on to win the next two at Detroit to win their first pennant in ‘22 years. “Why should we be worried?” Kent Hrbek said. “We're still up two games to one. “We got beat in 1 good ballgame, just like in Detroit. We're still looking to end it here.” ‘Twins third baseman Gary Gaetti said it took him time to adjust to Busch Stadium where the Twins had never played before. “It took time to get comfortable power tonight was (St. Louis pitcher) John Tudor.” Twins Tom Kelly said Frank Viola, who won Game 1 of the World Series, starts tonight. Viola won Game 4 of the playoffs, also on three days rest.
