The Hawks dramatic win was
made even more miraculous con-
sidering they trailed 22-6 going
into the fourth quarter. However,
with the league championship and
$1,000 up for grabs, the Hawks
had plenty of motivation to keep
pressing despite the deficit.

"The Hawks have a lot of
pride,” said a jubilant Peat after the
game.

“T thought for a while we might

and forth in the
third quarter without scoring.

“I had no time to throw in the
second half,” said Castlegar quar-
terback Ron Coe, “They blizted a
lot.”

But Turriff did have the time,
and on the second play of the
fourth quarter, he hit Peat for his
first touchdown catch of the day
and pulled the Hawks back into the
game. The missed conversion left
the score 22-12.

Meanwhile the Hawks defence
continued to come up big, blitzing
Coe throughout the final quarter
and Jeaving him less and less time
to find his receivers.

Trail got the ball back and
cashed in as Ken White's pair of
catches provided the boost. White's
first catch gave the Hawks a first-
and-goal situation and his second
catch left the Hawks trailing by
only six points with less than five
minutes to play.

Their counterparts on defence
Tose to the occasion and, thanks to
a pair of Castlegar penalties and
some timely rushes, had the Tom
Kats pinned with their back to their
goalline.

“That hurt them big time,” said
Peat of the two penalties that negat-
ed a big gain by the Tom Kats and
moved them back to the 10-yard
line.

Turriff and the Hawks got the
ball back with five plays to go and
after one incompletion and a short
pass to Kelly Sidoni he went to a
familiar number against a retreat-
ing Castlegar secondary.

“They were overplaying the
long stuff,” said Turriff. “So we
went short and opened up their
defence.”

“They didn't-want to give up the
long one,” added Peat

Coe said his team was looking
to snuff the Hawks’ drive with a
big play. “We were hoping for a
long one and then picking it off.”

But this time Turriff sat patiently
in the pocket as the Tom Kats rush
closed in. Just before a hand could
get on his flag, he took two quick
steps forward and put the ball right
into the waiting arms of Peat who
was free in the corner of the end
zone. The catch triggered a mad
tush of players and fans from the
sidelines to celebrate the game-
winning catch.

Peai said the second half was a

switching off on their coverage to
keep him off-balance. y

But the lack of reserves on the
Castlegar bench took its toll as the
game wore on and they wore
down.

“They were worn down a little
bit at the end,” agreed Turriff.

Nevertheless, Coe remained
confident until the Hawks final
score.

“T thought we were going to win
it right unfil that last touchdown.”

Trail opened the game up on a
high note and had the momentum
early as they moved the ball quick-
ly with some long completions.
Castlegar, on the other hand, were
happy with short passes underneath
the coverage. However, neither
team could hit paydirt in the first

quarter.
In the second quarter, the Hawks

finally paid for their long attempts
as Coe intercepted the ball and lat-

hit Peat on a
30-yard pass play that put the
team down near the goal line. On
the next play, Castlegar lineman
Jason Schuefer came on the rush
and got a handful of Turriff's
shorts but couldn't grab the flag
as the Hawks quarterback lofted a
touchdown pass to Shane O'Day
to make it 8-6

The Tom Kats retaliated by tak-
ing a page out of the Hawks attack
book. First, Neil Bermel hauled in
a 50-yard pass-and-run play as
Castlegar struck on the next posse-
sion to raise their lead to 14-6.
Despite a failed convert attempt,
the Tom Kats were going full
steam as they continued to pressure
‘Turriff into rushing his throws.

On Castlegar’s next turn on
offence, Coe wasted no time as
Kyle Isberg made a great off-the-
hip catch and ran 40 yards for
another TD. The ensuing convert

Sun WEDNESDAY, November 3, 1993

Life in the wee wild kingdom is a massive
bug jungle that’s a lot closer than we think.
So much closer, that the average home is
running alive with unwelcome guests!

ome Alone? You must be joking! From the cellar to the attic, the typical home
- any home, your home - is alive with uninvited guests. Some of them are
crawling across you right now. Others are lurking just inches away. And there
are MILLIONS of them. Mice are about the biggest, mites the smallest. You
want to know about mice? Mice are DISGUSTING. Best leave mice until the
end, or at least until after you have eating dinner. At least mites are almost
invisible. Mites love scales of dead skin - which is what most house dust is.
A gram of dust from a pillow or a mattress can contain 4,000 mites and the
only thing which will surely kill them is a blast of liquid nitrogen at -80c. Putting your pillow in the
freezer is offered as a mote practical alternative. Carpets are pose a bit bigger of a problem.

Other mites live in the follicles of the hairs on your face. Mostly they live a blameless existence
except when woman do not remove their make-up thoroughly. Then they breed in the grease and pro-
duce a kind of dermatitis known as “dowager's face.”

Dr John Maunder, director of the Medical Entomology Centre at Cambridge University, sees a more
serious side to the effects on human beings. He says that virtually all the 2,000 deaths from asthma
each year are a result of babies being exposed to house dust mites in the first few weeks of life

The culprit is the modern unventilated house which makes breeding conditions ideal. The solution
is clean bedding and plenty of fresh air. <

Every room is alive with something. The kitchen is a jungle, or a wildlife park or a nightmare,
depending on your point of view.

There is a flour beetle, a bacon beetle, even a cigarette beetle. The larder beetle eats almost any-
thing. The Australian spider beetle lays up to 100 eggs at one go and feigns death when disturbed. The
biscuit beetle can chew through tin foil to get at its food. Most of these insects are small and brown and
scuttle. You need an expert to tell them apart, if not to realise that you want to get rid of them.

Cockroaches contaminate food with an unpleasant smell and can spread food poisoning. Other
uglies are silver fish (which tell you the house is damp), woodlice, daddy long legs and earwigs. They
do no harm, but like distant relatives, you probably don't want them around the house for very long
Most rooms have at least three different kinds of spider, including the kind that makes cobwebs and the
one with big hairy legs that falls in the bath and cannot climb out. Set them free and they will do their
best to eat up all the other nasties

At least spiders do no harm. Mostly they sit in dark corners waiting to eat another house guest, per
haps one of the bluebottles which has just fed by vomiting over some food, trampling it in and then
sucking it all back up. The tiny black spots around light fittings are dried fly vomit in case you didn't

know. They come off with a damp cloth but you might want to add a splash of disinfectant

You thought there was only one kind of fly? There is the common house fly, which walks upside
down on the ceiling and the lesser house fly which circles endlessly around light bulbs.

For many fruitgrowers in Castlegar, the tiny fruit fly is a common nusiance. Fruit flies seek out rot
ting fruit and vegetables. Even when fruit and other food are hard to find, these tiny flies still manage
to stay alive on small crumbs and dust. In the middle of February, some tiny fruit flies are likely warm
ing themselves next to the fire as you are. The cheese skipper is a small shiny black fly whose grubs
burrow into cheese and ham with unpleasant side affects if eaten.

Do you have a cat? You probably have cat fleas and the bites to prove it (Dog fleas don’t bite peo-
ple.)

The bed bug, another blood-sucker, is said to be making a comeback. These minute creatures need at
least one meal of blood to complete each of their five stages of growth—and they can hide for months
behind the wallpaper or in bed frames until they get it

Some creatures enjoy a more intimate habitat. The head lice is a small wingless parasite about
2mm long, resembling a flattened scorpion without a sting

How many parents of children with clean heads have opened the letter from school with a sense of
disbelief? The truth is that head lice enjoy clean hair as much as dirty. Another type of lice, the Crab
lice, are bigger and bring problems of a different kind, not least in explaining where they were
acquired.

Now might be the time to check roofs, attics and possibly areas near the basement where wasps are
making their winter home. When active, a single nest can produce 30,000 wasps in a season. Not
something you'd want to suddently discover by accident!

Finally, the mice. A single pair can produce eight litters of 16 young in a year. They can squeeze
through the smallest gap, are good climbers and chew their way through gas pipes and cables. A single
mouse deposits around 80 droppt » 24 hours
