For the second s ay, the
former resident told an inquiry that he
was physically and sexually abused
from the day he arrived at the or

The slight 23-ye:

nearby Torbay who used to take him

“Knowing I was going back to the
orphanage at the end of the weekend, |

folded together on the witness table
However, in 1975, he and his older
brother Billy did tell someone on a trip
outside the orphanage, he said, Later

Earle, who has accused four mem

This morning, he told more stories
of abuse by a former orphanage
superintendnet, Douglas Kenny. The
former brother tried to have anal sex
with him in the orphanage’s swimming
pool in front of other boys, he claimed

*Some of the brothers loved to haul

matter-of-factly

Then growing emotional, hé con
tinued: “Brother Kenny took off my

Netminders swamped

By SIMON BIRCH
Editor

Goaltenders on the three Castlegar
Recreational Hockey League teams
have seen a lot of rubber this week as
defence took a back seat to offence in
the two league games.

Tuesday night, Hi Arrow edged
Woodland Park Shell 8-7 while Mon
day Dwayne Weir scored six goals for
Sandman Inn in a 10-10 tie with
Woodland Park

On Tuesday, Dean MacKinnon with
two goals and an assist and
Obetkoff with two goals paced Hi
Arrow toits win

John

Rod Fayant with two goals and two
assists and Kelly Keraiff with two goals
and one assist led the scoring for
Woodland Park in a losing cause

The two teams traded goals
throughout the first period with
Bruno Tassone opening the scoring for
Woodland Park which went into the
second period with a 3-2 lead

Obetkoff and MacKinnon beat
Woodland Park goalie Dan Wallace
early in the second to give Hi Arrow the

lead for the first time in the game. That
lead held for just over a minute as
Keraiff scored his second to tie the
game

Obetkoff and Fayant traded goals
before Hi Arrow grabbed a two-goal
lead late in the middle frame

Dan Stelck brought Woodland Park
back to within one early in the third but
Rod Zavaduk scored what proved to
be the winner for Hi Arrow with 18:37
to goin the game

Fayant \closed out the scoring for
Woodland Park with 5:43 to go but the
team couldn't beat Hi Arrow goalie

before the period ended

Mitch Quaedvlieg and Clay Martini

who assisted on five of Weir's goals

scored early in the second to give

Sandman a 4-1 lead. But that edge
soon disappeared when Steve Simonen

Kurvers balks

TORONTO (CP) — Defenceman
Tom Kurvers says he will not play for
the Toronto Maple Leafs

“For personal reasons, I will not
report to Toronto,” Kurvers said from
New York as he prepared to board a
flight to Detroit and confer with his
agent, Bob Goodenow. He declined to
elaborate.

“He didn’t feel it would be fair to
himself or to his new teammates if his
heart ‘really wasn’t in it,
said from Detroit

The Leafs acquired. Kurvers on
Monday from the New Jersey Devils in

Goodenow

exchange for a first-round pick in the
1991 NHLentry draft

Kurvers flew from New Jersey and
met Leafs coach Doug Carpenter on
Monday in Pittsburgh, where the
Leafs were playing Tuesday night
against the Penguins.

“He gave me no indication that he

would not be coming to practice
(Tuesday morning),’’ said Carpenter

However, when the Leafs took to
the ice at the Civic Arena, Kurvers was
a no-show and Goodenow informed
general manager Floyd Smith that his
client was refusing to report

Right now, I guess he is suspended,

and whether it is an effective
retirement is a matter of inter
pretation,” Goodenow said

The Devils will keep the draft choice
they obtained from Toronto because
they had nothing to do with Kurvers’
decision

“There is no one specific teason,”’
Goodenow said of Kurvers’ position
“It is not an ‘I-don’t-want-to-go-to-
Toronto’ decision, per se. There are a
lot of personal things Tom thought
about. He was surprised about being
traded” and > disappointed in

Quake delays Series

SAN FRANCISCO (AP)
scheduled to meet today to determine how to proceed
with the World Series after an earthquake devastated
the Bay area, but some players say baseball means
nothing now

Baseball officials were

A capacity crowd of 60,000 was settling in for the
first World Series game in San Francisco since 1962 and
the third of the series between the Oakland Athletics and
San Francisco Giants when an earthquake measuring
7.00n the Richter scale hit at 5:04 PDT

The Richter scale is a measure of ground motion as
recorded on seismographs. Every increase of one num
bermeansa tenfold increase in magnitude

“You can’t stop concrete,” said Oakland out
fielder Dave Henderson. *Forget the World Series

“(Giants batting coach) Dusty Baker yelled, ‘Ear
thquake!’ But I thought it was a joke,” said Giants cat
cher Terry Kennedy. ‘I thought he was trying to break
the tension.”

But in an instant, Kennedy knew something was
very wrong

“I looked at the first base dugout and it was
moving. Then I felt the ground rumble

““L knew it was bad and the first thi

“A lot of players had their families here, mothers
sisters, brothers. I think everyone looked into the stands
to see if they were OK

The first major jolt lasted only about 10-15 seconds
and there was no real time to panic

Kennedy and the rest of his teammates milled
around the field wondering what todo next

“I think everyone was nervous, and very few were

thinking about the World Series,’ Kennedy said. **The
word came quickly that part of the Bay Bridge had

“The World Series means nothing now,"’ Kennedy

said. ‘I’m sick about this. The people of the area waited
forever to see the Giants and A’s in the World Series,
and this happens

“But it makes you realize just what ptace basebalt

should have in your life. | found that out tonight.”

Baseball commissioner Fay Vincent said the extent
of damage to the 60,000-seas stadium would ngt be
known until today. At that time, an inspection was to be
made.

But getting the right people to the stadium to make
the survey could prove nearly as difficult

San Francisco's Pat Sheridan was plenty scared for
another reason. Nervously, he kept staring at the back

‘Iwas out on the field running‘and all of a sudden I

Not tiers but entire sections, apparently fearless,
were chanting rhythmically, ‘*Let’s play ball, fet’s play

At the beginning of the week, everyone called this
the most boring Series in memory. Like a mystery solved
20 minutes before the end, like a joke everyone's heard
countless times before

But no more

“This Series has gone from the mundane to the
