as Castlégiit News August 24, 1986 BUSINESS DEMAND FOR OFFICE ‘TEMPS* DROPPING OFF MONTREAL (CP) — Lisette Trembly, 82, is a computer operator who enjoys taking a three- month vacation every year in Guatemala. Kim Forsythe, a 28-year-old secretary, is dedicated to spending two weeks of every. month performing volunteer work for her church. Secretary Gail Martin, 29, would like to spend as much time as she can with her 15-month-old son. All three want or need to work at least some of the time. And temporary office work — filling in for sick or vai pl or helping ies during their busiest periods — is the solution that appeals to them most. The demand for temporary office workers in Canada is down from the 1970s and the pay is below that: of permanent employees, but there are still people who like the freedom. “I know I'm underpaid,” says Trembly, but “I can’t imagine myself tied to the same desk every day.” Industry estimates indicate seven out of 10 Canadian companies use temporaries, generating $600 million worth of business for workers and placement companies. Half of Canada’s 400,000 temporaries — 70 per cent of them women — work in offices, and most companies that need them get them through such firms as Manpower Personnel Services, Drake International and Kelly Services. Michelle Larsoe, a placement counsellor at Office Overload, a division of Drake, said companies are demanding more skilled workers, “The ideal worker is technically proficient on a wide range of machines and, course, bilingual. But such workers are still scarce? she said. Dianne’ Bradshaw, Montreal-area manager for Manpower, says her company offers free courses on word processors and IBM personal computers. “We really encourage our workers to acquire these skills,” she says. “The courses are worth anywhere from $300 to $500.” Kelly Services also offers free training to workers with proven 4 * WOMEN DISDAINED But while women with these skills are in demand, it’s men who get the temporary jobs in drafting and industrial design As one counsellor remarks, “I have superbly lified female i with training. I can't place them, even though the jobs are there. “The companies are still reluctant to use them. But if they were men, they’d be working tomorrow morning.” . The pay for a temporary may range from the minimum wage for a stockroom job to $7 for a clerk-typist on up to $15 for an expert secretary. The highly qualified can work every day of the week, but that defeats the purpose of those who want to be temporary-so they can have more free time. Bradshaw said about 10 per cent of temporary workers are offered permanent jobs. Terry Lanthier is an example of a temporary turned-permanent. She now is secretary to the treasurer at Domtar, a job she originally got on assign ment through Manpower. “I earn more as a permanent employee,” she says. “But I acquired great skills as a temporary.” ‘ Brewers market civic pride TORONTO (CP) — In a marketplace constantly looking for something new and unique, regional brewers have discovered a new product. They are turning civic pride into the latest marketing tool. In Hamilton, it is Steeler beer, a brew developed by Amstel Brewery Canada Ltd. to appeal to the mainstream Canadian tastes of Hamiltonians. “We wanted to make a product that the local people could call their own,” said president Maarten Rijkens. In Surrey, B.C., it is Pride of Surrey, the initiative of a salesman for the Pacific Brewing Co. who wanted to cater to Surrey, which is often scorned by the sophisticates of nearby Vancouver. The brewers say they want to build a sense of pride in each region, as well as an allegiance to their brands, which are available only in the immediate area. But while Amstel rightly comes by its affiliation to the Steel City (its brewery and head office are in Hamilton, which has a population of more than 560,000), Pacific Brewing has simply adopted Surrey and its population of 175,000. The company is based in Vancouver, and its brewery is in Prince George. So why worry about civic pride in the Lower Mainland 705 RAILWAY STREET KOOTENAY Cash e CARRAN % GROCERY ITEMS * GROCERY ITEMS * municipality? “Surrey is the type of community that we feel very strongly needs a little bit of awareness, a higher profile,” said Pacific Brewing vice-president John Gray. Surrey Mayor Don Ross acknowledges his city has been maligned in the past, and welcomes the opportunity for citizens to have something to call their own — even if it is a beer. “The idea of the Pride of Surrey being used as a beer label was kind of fitting for Surrey because we do view beer as the poor man's champagne, and certainly we have our own share of people who like to have a beer on occasion,” he And while the breweries speak of civic pride, they are also talking about increasing sales. Rijkens will not disclose market share, but admitted Amstel has not sold much of its European and premium-priced beer in Hamilton in the past. Pacifie Western hopes Pride of Surrey will boost its provincial market share of 7.5 per cent by approximately one percentage. point. Pacific Western has been approached by other municipalities interested in having their own brew, too, but Gray said the company is devoted to Surrey. Drug testing on Wall Street NEW YORK (AP) — Two prominent Wall Street in- vestment firms have strengthened employee drug: rivative crack. Kidder, Peabody and Co., which employs more than 6,000 people, and Smith Barney, Harris Upham jand Co., with 5,700 employees, confirmed Tuesday that they require staff to take/urine tests. Most Wall Street firms only test prospective em- ployees for drug use as part of a broader medical exami- nation.

Looking at the U.S. figures alone, Canada received $1.093 billion from American tourists during the April-to- June period and Canadian tourists spent $1.111 billion south of the border, leaving Canada with a deficit of $18 million. That's a far cry from the second quarter of 1985 when the deficit was $215 million after Americans spent $876 million in Canada while Can. adians spent $1.09 billion in the United States. Statistics Canada said total receipts from international travel rose by 23 per cent to $1.5 billion during the quar- ter, “a very strong increase by historical standards.” fessions, particularly in sports and business.

Avid basketball player prac- tices passing techniques during league game at Rockettes camp attracts 43 players By CHERYL CALDERBANK Staff Writer Selkirk College gymnasium came alive this week after being quiet most of the summer as 43 girls — all but two from the West Kootenay — participated in the annual Stanley Humphries Rockettes basketball camp. Attendance at the five-day camp was down from last year’s total of 55 girls, but camp co-ordinator and Stanley Humphries Junior Rockettes coach Doug Pilatzke says this is probably due to many of the girls taking vacations. Pilatzke says there's nothing fancy about basketball at this camp — the only one of its kind in the Kootenays. Participants learn the fundamentals of the game. Areas of instruction include: individual ball handling skills, shooting | ive moves, r i skills, indivi skills, team team offense, and training tips. Pilatzke says that girls who have attended the camp in other years or also play at school are refining skills they have already learned. However beginners are picking up techniques for the first time. He says the beginners’ sessions are geared to participation and fun activities, but the seniors are more competitive. “They are looking at each other wondering who is better than who,” Pilatzke adds. Ages of the campers ranges from 12-15. The camp went from 9 a.m. — 4:30 p.m. each day, and besides lunchtime, the only time taken off was for a pool party on Wednesday. But Pilatzke says the activities are varied to prevent the campers from growing bored. “We try to challenge them to push themselves physically and mentally,” says Pilatzke. “We know they get bored. Your heart bleeds a little for the young ones.” But he says the girls have too much pride to quit or slow down. This year's camp was the eighth annual. The first camp — held in 1979 and attended by 19 girls — started out as a summer training camp for the Junior Rockettes. Since then the camp has expanded into a Kootenay-wide development camp. Girls attending this year's camp were from Castlegar, Trail, Fruitvale and Nelson. There were also two girls from Vancouver who were vacationing in the area. ideas, Stoney Humphries secondary school Rockettes camp. Costews Proto Pilatzke also stresses that the camp operates on @ non-profit basis. Participants are charged $40 each and he says cerns goes into the camp's extensive awards Variwos awards are presented throughout the camp, including daily awards for free throws contests, dribbling competitions, all star players, most improved players, best defensive players and the “big heart” award. . Pilatzke compared the cost of $40 to that of $300 charged at camps in Spokane and the Lower Mainland. He says those camps charge for bringing in a “name” basketball coach. But he notes that at this level top coaches aren't necessary, adding that the oneches at the Rockettes camp are “adequate”. Pilatzke points to Jack Closkey, who has been coaching for 17 years. Pilatzke himself has coached for 11 ars. Besides Pilatzke and Closkey other coaches at this year's camp included Doug Hickey, coach of Kinnaird Junior secondary school Grade 8 team, Karen Popoff, Leigh Halisheff and Tina Baker, all Senior Rockettes who are entering Grade 12 this year; and Shelly Pakula and Pamela Braun, who are moving up to the Seniors from the Junior Rockettes. Prior to the annual camps some girls in Castlegar weren't starting basketball until they were 15 years old. SPORTS FEATURE “That's certainly not the case now,” says Pilatzke. “I always like to say, ‘What would the Rebels (hockey team) be like if they didn't skate until they were 157° He says having the camps has made a “remarkable difference” to the Rockettes’ team. Before, Pilatzke said he basically had to start from scratch with the players coming to his team. But now he is getting players who have been‘to the camp for three or four summers. And one week at camp every summer is worth a year’s experience to a player, he says. “When you think about it, they get about 40 hours of instruction,” says Pilatzke. “In the course of the season they probably don't practice for 40 hours.” For some girls, learning the basic begins at the elementary school level. Pilatzke says some schools have good basketball programs, but it varies from school to school and really depends on who is at the school. “It runs in cycles,” he adds. The Senior Rockettes, headed by Closkey, have been in the provincial finals the last three years. And Pilatzke’s Junior Rockettes are undefeated in the West Kootenay for the last three years. But Pilatzke says that the Junior Rockettes have by no means peaked. “I am going to have the best team (this season) I've ever had,” he says. “Every year it gets progressively better.” WINNING STREAK ENDS ENDS” ics ureaieans secon in 200-metre | By GEOFF FRASER MADRID (CP) — Alex Baumann's five-year winning streak in the men's 200-metre individual medley race came to an en@ Saturday when he finished second on the final day of competition at the world aquaties championship. The Canadian men’s 4x100-metre medley relay team finished fourth in the final, 15 one-hundreths of a second off the national record but more than a second out of the medals. East Germany proved to be the powerhouse of the meet, winning a total of 30 medals — 14 gold, 12 silver and four bronze all in swimming. The East German women had 13 of the gold. The United States had nine gold, 10 silver and 13 bronze, while Canada managed four gold — three from synchronized swimming — two silver, two bronze. West Germany had four gold, two silver and a bronze and the Soviet Union finished with two gold, three silver and seven bronze. Hungarian Tamas Darnyi won the 200-metre medley race in near world record time, clocking two minutes 1.57 seconds. Baumann, who holds the world best at 2:01.42, finished second in 2:02.34, coming from sixth place in the final 100 metres. 4, The 22-year-old from Sudbury, Ont., had not lost over 200 metres in a string of 26 races since 1981. He was never world champion, though, missing the 1982 championships because of an injured shoulder. JINX CONTINUES The championship jinx continued this year, too. He was one of many swimmers affected by a stomach ailment that left many fighting diarrhea, vomiting and fever during the first days of the 10-day meet. He managed to come away with a bronze in the 400-metre medley won last Monday by Darnyi and thought afterwards that the three-day break until the 200 race might be enough to find the missing energy to reach the medal podium as winner. It wasn't, but he came within a second of his world mark of 2:01.42, also. “I felt good about it,” Baumann said. “Nobody likes losing but that’s what I felt I could do. “I felt I could do between a 2:02 flat and a 2:02.4. Unfortunately, we didn’t think Darnyi would go any faster. And he went a very good time “Tt makes me angry. Lae had done the same time as February, I would have won.” The United States won the medley relay in 3:41.25 as 's team — Mark Tewksbury, Vietor Davis, 22, of Guelph, Ont; Tom Ponting. 21, of 200-metre butterfly in 2:08.41, while East German Kornelia Gressler was second in 2:10.66 and compatriot Birte Weigang third in 2:10.68. Donna McGinnis, 17, of Edmonton, finished fifth in 2:12.61. “Tm not really satisfied,” McGinnis said. “It was a personal best, which was what I was aiming for. “The placing would have been the same, but I wanted that p.b.’ Tamara Costache of Romania became the first world record holder in the women’s 50-metre sprint, clocking 25.28 world recognised tested at major meets. East German Kristin Otto was next in 25.50 and Switzerland's Marie-Therese Armentero third in 25.93. Andrea Nugent, 17, of Nanton, Alta., placed sixth in the consolation final with a time of 26.87.

Orioles outscore Angels Cowan traded to Argonauts VANCOUVER (CP) — Quarterback Tim Cowan said he had a feeling B.C. Lions were getting ready to trade him when he didn’t play in last Thursday's 30-14 Canadian Football League loss to Calgary Stampeders. “As I was driving home I started to think something might be up,” Cowan said after his Friday trade to Toronto Argonauts. “I guess it wouldn't have looked too good if I had come in and won the game and then they traded me the next day.” ‘The 26-year-old native of LynwQed, Calif., was traded for a first-round 1967 draft choice. Later Friday, the Lions dealt backup offensive tackle Mike Palumbo~to Montreal Alouettes for future considerations. Cowan joined the Lions in 1983 from the University of Washington. He spent virtually all of his first season in the spotter’s booth. In his second year, he dressed for all 16 gamies and with Roy Dewalt having injury problems threw for 1,434 yards and 13 touch downs. Last season though, his passing yardage dropped to 583 and when Dewalt signed a new, five-year con tract this spring, Cowan made it known he couldn't see his long-term future with the defending Grey Cup cham- pions. “I think it’s a good opportunity for me,” said Cowan, who joins a Toronto team that includes veteran starter Condredge Holloway, newly-acquired J.C. Watts and experienced backup Norman Gibbs. The Lions now will go with untested Karlton Watson and Canadian Greg Vavra, a former Stampeder, behind Dewalt “I said I wouldn't trade Tim unless I thought we were adequately pro- teeted,” said B.C. head coach Don Matthews. “I feel with Greg’s exper ience in the league and Kariton’s potential we have a combination that can get the job done. AMERICAN LEAGUE BALTIMORE (AP) — Cal Ripken and Jim Traber hit first-inning home runs and Fred Lynn hit a homer in the fifth to account for all of Baltimore's runs in a 4-2 vietory Saturday over the California Angels. After California took a 20 lead against Mike Flanagan in the first, Ripken and Traber hit two-out homers in the bottom of the inning to stake the Orioles to a 8-2 lead. Ripken, who had three hits, hit a solo shot for his 19th homer, then Eddie Murray walked before Traber hit rookie Ray Chad wick's first pitch over the fence in right. In 32 games since being called up to the majors on July 18, Traber has 10 home runs and driven in 32 runs. Lynn added Baltimore's fourth run leading off the fifth. He battled off 11 chadwick pitches before hitting a towering drive into the bleachers in right. Flanagan, 7-8, survived a rough first inning. He surrendered four hits in the inning and two runs on a George Hen drick single. But after the first, Flanagan allowed just three hits and one walk before leaving with two out in the seventh. INDIANS 5 RED SOX 4 CLEVELAND (AP) — Pinch hitter Andre Thornton singled with the bases loaded in the ninth inning Saturday to help the Cleveland Indians snap a four game losing streak with a 54 victory over the Boston Red Sox. It was the Indians’ first triumph over Boston this season. Boston, which lost for only the third time in 11 games, had won the first eight meetings between the teams and 11 straight over two years. Bob Stanley, 55, walked Chris Bando to start the ninth. Tony Ber nazard had a bunt single and. after Julio Franco bunted into 4 fielder's choice, Bill Buckner and Dwight Evans collided on Joe Carter's fly ball down the right-field line. The ball fell for a single to load the bases. Thornton followed with a line single to centre on an 0-1 pitch Tom Candiotti, struck out two and walked two in 7 2-3 innings before Ernie Camacho, 2-2, retieved in the eighth 4-1 lead he could not hold Marty Barrett hit a one-out double and Jim Rice walked. Camacho came on and walked Don Baylor to load the bases. Evans followed with a single and Buckner addeed a run-scoring ground- er. NATIONAL LEAGUE METS 3 GIANTS 2 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Left- hander Bob Ojeda scattered five hits over eight innings and Keith Her. nandez hit a two-run single to lead the New York Mets to a 3-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants, their sixth straight National League win. Ojeda, 14-4, who had nine strikeouts and three walks, fell behind on an un earned run in the fourth inning against the Giants, who have lost six of their last seven games. Roger McDowell pitched the ninth inning for his 16th save. REDS 7 CUBS 3 CHICAGO (AP) — Tom Browning scattered eight hits over 7 2-3 innings and Eric Davis and Nick Esasky keyed rallies with two-run doubles to lead the Cincinnati Reds to a 7-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs. Browing, 11-10, struck out five and walked none as Cincinnati won for the ninth time in 12 games. Wadkins, Pohl tied for top spot in tourney AKRON, Ohio (AP) — Lanny Wad. kins twice holed out from off the green in shooting a hard-earned 70 that lifted him into a tie for the third-round lead Saturday in the $700,00Q NEC World Series of Golf tournament. He shared the top spot with Dan Pohl, who is making his first World Series of Golf apearance. Poh! had a third-round 71 Wadkins, a former winner of the event, completed three trips over the long, testing Firestone Country Club course in 206, four strokes under par. Donnie Hammond, who led or shared the lead through three rounds, made three consecutive bogeys on the back nine and dropped back with a 73. He was at 207, one off the pace, going into today's final round of the chase for a $126,000 first prize All three leaders, playing in the last group on the course, bogeyed the final hole after a brief, heavy thunder shower delayed their finish by 20 minutes. ‘And those bogeys dropped them one shot closer to Masters champion Jack Nicklaus, who struggled to a 69 that kept alive his hopes of a sixth World Series title. HAS A CHANCE “Ive got a good shot if I play well tomorrow,” said Nicklaus, 46, who was at 209, one under par and only three behind the leaders. He was tied for fourth with Bernhard Langer of West Germany, South Afriean Bobby Cole, John Mahaffey, and Corey Pavin. - Cole closed with a 68. Pavin made a length-of-the-green putt for an 18th hole birdie that got him in at par 70. Langer shot 71 and Mahaffey 72. including a double bogey-7 on the long 16th. PGA champion Bob Tway scored an eagle-3 on the second hole and made a hole in one with a No. 6 iron on the par-3 fifth. He had a 66, the best round of the windy day, but remained six shots back at 212 British Open title-holder Greg Nor man of Australia had a 72, two over par, and was at 211. U.S. Open champ Ray Floyd took another 74 and was well back at 214 Hammond held the lead most of the day, but surrendered it with a string of three consecutive birdies beginning on the 14th, where he visited two bunkers, hit a tree and eventually made a 10-foot putt for bogey. Wadkins, who chipped in from 30 feet for a birdie on the 11th, made an 18-foot birdie putt from the fringe on the 13th and holed a 40-foot bunker shot for birdie on the 14th Wadkins got a share of the lead and Hammond dropped back to third on the 16th. Wadkins got a 4-wood second shot over the green and got up and down for birdie-4. Hammond hit into the pond and made bogey-6 The top three men then “rushed our tee shots on the last hole — it was getting pretty dark and threatening and we hurried it,” Wadkins said. All drove into trouble on the right and all made bogey. ee oe
