Gectgertien, sess 17, 1990 SPORTS Remarks miff Ham By CHRIS CARIOU The Canadian Press With a playoff win under his belt and a CFL championship within reach, quarterback Tracy Ham doesn’t understand all the fuss about a season-ending slump for his Edmonton Eskimos. jam is miffed about all the icism directed his way while the Eskimos lost four in a row and five of their last six games to finish in second place in the West Division. A team that won nine of its fir- st 12 games was reduced to a 10-8 record by season’s end. Ham stopped talking to the news media for two weeks after being benched in a loss to the B.C. Liéns on Oct. 21. Now he’s talking again and he says he and the Eskimos were unfairly treated. “So much was written about how we had played but nothing was written about (the fact) that we were in the playoffs,’’ said Ham, who threw three touch- down pa: Sunday as the Eskimos defeated Saskatchewan 43-27 in the West Division semifinal. “I mean, that’s your goal going into the season, 16 get into theplayoffs, and once you get-in- to the playoffs, it’s to win the Grey Cup,” he said. “We achieved our first goal. It may have been ugly, but we still achieved it. And now we're in the playoffs and we hope to achieve our second goal, and that’s to win the Grey Cup.”” This is all so matter-of-fact for the talented 26-year-old, who signed with the Eskimos in 1987. But it was his own brilliance during most of 1989, his first full season as a starter, that made Oc- tober so disappointing for Ed- monton fans. He guided the Eskimos to a league record 16-2 season last year. He became the first quar- terback to run for 1,000 yards in a CFL season. The club set several other offensive records. But the Eskimos lost last year's West Division final, then struggled for the ‘final third of this season amid reports of dissension, lack of cohesion and a black-white rift on the team. Ham retreated into a protective cone of silence. Former Eskimos still living in the city talked about a lack of respect for the team’s winning tradition. Edmonton has won seven of 11 Grey Cup games it has appeared in since 1973. he Largest INUTE + Mutter & Broke ‘op in the Eas WUFFLER Cad & BRAKE 2!

IRST CONCERN” Jays manager unsettled by Bell uncertainties TORONTO (CP) — Cito Gaston looked toward the heavens and sighed. “It’s in the air — 1 just don’t know,”” the Toronto Blue Jays manager said about the status of the club’s once-vaunted outfield. Left fielder George Bell is a free agent who faces being a full-time designated hitter if he re-signs with the American League baseball club. Centre fielder Mookie Wilson will be 35 when the 1991 season opens. Right fielder Junior Felix has been injured in both of his first two seasons. Backups Glenallen Hill and Mark Whiten, while promising, have just 400 combined at-bats. “It’s a little unsettling,” said Gaston. “A lot of it depends on George.”’ Ferraro relieves scoring pressure CALGARY (CP) — Ray Ferraro scored as many goals in one night for the New York Islanders as he did all season for the Hartford Whalers in a 4-3 NHL overtime victory against the Calgary Flames Thursday. “It feels like I’ve had a 100-pound bag lifted off my shoulders,’’ said Ferraro, who scored twice as the Islanders beat the Flames for the second time in five nights. “*For me to stay in the league it's simple; I have to score. Some guys have to check, some guys have to fight. To stay I have to provide of- fence.”” The Trail native had two goals in 15 games with the Whalers this year before being traded to the Islanders Tuesday for defenceman Doug Crossman. The Whalers’ fifth choice, 88th. overall in the 1982 draft, Ferraro’s best year was 1988- 89 when he scored 41 goals and ad- ded 35 assists. Bell and the Blue Jays are still talking. However, the 31-year-old slugger is dealing with a club trying to think in pragmatic terms. “He'd be tough as a DH,” assistant general manager Gord Ash said of Bell, ‘But other things come into the equation, too. There's his pride. If he’s not going to do it (DH) willingly . . . “And it’s tough to think of George in multi-year (contract) ter- ms. His health problems have been widely publicized. Bell has battled a sore shoulder the last two years and has refused to un- dergo surgery. Last year, he was out of action late in the season for about two weeks with an eye problem. But the Blue Jays are willing to gamble on his health, if Bell can ac- cept the DH assignment. “It’s up to him really,’’ said Jays president Paul Beeston. Beeston acknowledged the team is trying to sign veteran outfielder Willie McGee, a free agent, to lighten some of the load on Wilson’s aging legs. “He has expressed a willingness to talk with us,’’ Beeston said. ‘‘It’s all preliminary just now.”’ Veteran infielder Rance Mulliniks, also a free agent, may remainin a Toronto uniform — unless Texas’s offer proves too attractive. “We want Mulli (Mulliniks) back,’ said Beeston, adding it will probably take a two-year contract to Kéep him. “We'll pay market (value) for our guys.”” CITO GASTON .--upinale Meanwhile, the club’s grand ex- periment — turning young first baseman John Olerud into a left fielder — continues at the instruc- tional league. “| saw him in a couple of games and he’s learning,” said Gaston. Another concern Gaston will mull over during the winter is second base when Manny Lee batted .243 with 41 runs batted in. “| have no problem with his defensive play,’’ Gaston said. “But he just didn’t put up the numbers (offensively).’” House teams tie at 7 Castlegar Peewee House Team No. 2 battled Trail Peewee H.

Lidster is one of the team’s three rotating captains. “I know what he means off the ice to this team as a leader and he’s a rock-solid type,’’ Butcher said. “‘No one in the (dressing) room has any doubt where his heart’s at. He’s been a very valuable member for a lot of years and still is.’” McCammon said Lidster’s move to DOUG LIDSTER ... scores twice play out his option was a business decision and ‘his game on the ice hasn’t suffered.”” Lidster is represented in contract negotiations by player agent Herb Pinder of Saskatoon. Lidster said he had not talked to his ‘agent this week. “Obviously it’s not my department to negotiate contracts,” added Mc- Cami “Doug Lidster plays very well every night find... we have no problems with him. “The contract negotiations are separate from his game on the ice.”” Lidster is a native of Kamloops, who played four years at Colorado College before joining the Canadian Olympic team in 1983. His best NHL season was 1986-87 when he had 63 points, including 51 assists. He played all 80 league games last season and has been in the lineup for all 19 games this fall. He said he plans to play tonight against the New York Islanders at the Pacific Coliseum. THE NUMBERS SUNDAY NIGHT B-I-N- et Lic.

The food service worker program is into its second year of operation under the guidance of instructors Peter Fulcher and Linda Bjerrisgaard. Students in the tran- sitional training program at the Trail campus have served hot lunches and manned a coffee concession for the benefit of their fellow students for years, the college says in a news release. The move to the Helena Street campus in downtown Trail gave them access to upgraded kit- chen facilities and the idea to develop an entry-level food service Wworker-program was born. Last year, the practice continued with the lunch menu becoming more varied and the coffee concession of- fering student-baked cookies and muffins as well as beverages. Begin- ning this year, the food service worker program is based largely in the Senior Citizens Centre which is housed in the same building as the Trail campus, and the students are Providing a full service luncheon to Trail seniors and college students and staff alike. For coffee breaks and the students still provide a concession service to Selkirk College students, but five days a week, the nine fullt- ime and two part-time students in the Program provide a nutritious and af- fordable lunch to the seniors and others. “We cater to an even mix of seniors and college students and staff,’’ said Bjerrisgaard, who noted that the cafeteria serves between 50 and 100 lunches each day. In addition to providing a daily luncheon which offers a substantial menu of breakfast and lunch items as well as a daily special, the class also caters to courses run by the Im- pact Training Corp. and other tenan- ts of the building. “The students have catered for groups of up to 125,”’ says Fulcher, who returned to the’ Trail area after ‘Til Ber. 7:30 p.m. an eight-year hiatus. He was raised in Rossland and developed his career in the hospitality service industry. Most recently he taught tourism courses at East Kootenay Community College before accepting the job at the Trail campus. The food service is appreciated by seniors and college. staff alike, the college says. Meals are with a big job for any kitchen.” He and Bjerrisgaard are proud of the accomplishments of their studen- ts, whose abilities cover a wide range of skills. Admission to the program is open to adults with spécial needs who are interested in full-time attendance, and who are able to function safely care and served at the table by students in the program. Prices are the best in town, and one couple, Nettie and Frenchy D’Amour of Trail, who have been coming to the centre for more than a year, are very satisfied with the arrangement. “The quality of the food is high, and the portions are just right for seniors,"’ said Frenchy D’Amour, who said he and Nettie eat at the centre about twice a week. ‘“‘It’s a good value for the money.’’ It is proving to be good training for the students as well, said Fulcher, who feels the clientele has developed quite well. “Serving almost 100 meals a day is kitchen environ- Reasonable physical con- prerequisite as is proof of a recent TB test. While primarily vocationally orien- ted, students receive about an hour of classroom instruction per day. “We wark mainly on com- ication skills,"’ sais Students entering the program begin by learning to load and operate the dishwasher, then move on to mastering janitorial duties before learning the art of table service and busing dishes correctly. The next progression is the acquisition of cooking skills, begin- ning with classes in safe food han- dling and safe food storage. From there, studerits learn the safe and correct operation of kitchen equip- ment, including knives and slicers, mixers, toasters, stove and grill, and efficient kitchen operation. The range of cooking skills taught includes the preparation and cooking of vegetables, salads, soups, san- dwiches, meat cookery, breads and rolls, puddings, cakes and pastries. “Our goal is to enable'students to leave the program and find entry- level employment in a restaurant as as prep cook or second . cook,” ‘ Fulcher said. Both Bjerrisgaard and Fulcher are developing a proposal to turn the food service worker program into a two-year endeavor, by adapting both the provincial Level 1 cooking Program and the foodsafe course in- to an alternate delivery mode that would be understood and mastered by special needs students. In the meantime, the food service worker program at the Trail campus seems to meet the needs of everyone: seniors, staff, and students.
