HARD AT WORK A youngster at the Castlegar Aquatic Centre manages to con- centrate on his own work despite the hubbyb around him during CasNews photo Revenues rise, UtiliCorp says West Kootenay Power's par- ent company, UtiliCorp United, has announced that second quarter financial results have exceeded those in the same peri- od of 1990. ; For the quarter ended June 30, UtiliCorp reported revenues of $189.4 million, compared to revenues of $161.6 million in the 1990 second quarter, the compa- ny said in a news release. Income from operations was $27.5 million, versus $20.1 mil- lion during the prior year’s peri- od. Earnings per common share were 15 cents on net income of $6.3 million, compared with earnings per share of 12 cents on net income of $4.8 million in the 1990 second quarter. All amounts are in U.S. dollars. Average common shares .out- standing increased to 28.4 mil- lion from 23.4 million. The increase is due primarily to a public offering of four million new shares late in 1990. For the first six months of 1991, UtiliCorp reported rev- enues of $506 million, compared with revenues of $462.4 million in the first half of 1990. Income from operations was $90.2 mil- lion, versus $71.3 million in the 1990 six-month period. Primary earnings per com- mon share were $1.10 on net income of $34.9 million, com- pared with earnings per share of $1.03 on net income of $27.8 million in the 1990 first and sec- ond quarters. UtiliCorp chairman and pres- ident Richard C. Green, dr., attributed the improved results to rate relief at various operat- ing units and increased contri- butions from the company’s Aquila Energy subsidiary. UtiliCorp’s Missouri Public Service, Kansas Public Service and Michigan Gas Utilities ‘divi- sions and West Kootenay Power all implemented rate increases within the past year. In other news, the company also announced that the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has approved the UtiliCorp’s request to purchase the Kansas and Colorado elec- tric utility properties of Centel Corp. UtiliCorp announced last December that it has agreed to. purchase the properties in a transaction valued at $346 mil- lion. Based in Kansas City, Util- iCorp provides gas and electric service to 828,000 customers in eight states and British Columbia.

A’s spoil Salmo's Cinderella act Nelson pounds out hits on way to Castlegar Men's Fastball League title By CasNews Staff Salmo Hotel is.living proof of the old cliche that the playoffs are a whole new season. With just three wins in 22 games in the Castlegar Men's Fastball League regular season, last-place Salmo surprised everybody by knocking off léague champion Banjo’s Pub twice Sunday in the playoffs at Kinnaird Park to earn a berth in the final against the Nelson A’s. But Cinderella didn’t quite make it to the ball as the A’s trounced Salmo 10-2 in the final.

Nelson's Eli Chernenkoff won the post-season batting title hit- ting a remarkable .700 in three games which saw the A’s score 40 runs. Jim Nazaroff of Banjo’s took home the P.K. Memorial trophy for dedication to the league. A’s manager Bob Marsh said Tuesday the team’s success resulted from a bi of a recent win in Midway over a Senior B team. Meanwhile, the playoffs started well for Banjo’s with a 9- 3 win Saturday night over the Castlegar Merchants. But Salmo spoiled Banjo’s hopes with a 7-4 win in the semifinal after upsetting Banjo’s — which finished 28 points ahead of Salmo in the regular season — 8-7 earlier Sunday. Nelson cruised through the good pitching and hot bats, “Our sticks were coming around towards the end of the double-k | tournament unscathed, pounding out the hits all weekend starting with a 14-4 victory Saturday over Labatt’s. The A’s followed that up with the 16-0 pasting of Salmo and received a bye into the final, In other. games Sunday, the Merchants edged Labatt’s but lost a squeaker to Banjo’s 4- 3, setting up the Salmo-Banjo’s semifinal. Taranoff said he figured Nel- son would be in the final and didn’t count out the Merchants. “I thought for sure we'd be there too,” he said, referring to Banjo’s. Taranoff took the losses to Salmo graciously. “They hit the ball well,” Tara, noff said. “They didn’t make many errors.” Salmo got a bye in the first round.
