The boards will review actions taken against eight of the major fires in the Vancouver, Prince George and Nelson forest regions, Forests Minister Tom Waterland said Tuesday. - Waterland said the 1985 forest fire season has been exceptionally serious in the 73 years of the B.C. Forest Service. More than 3,500 fires this year have burnt 241,000 hectares of British Columbia forests — an area almost half the size of Prince Edward Island — but well short of the 830,000 hectares consumed in 1958. The most costly previous year was ‘1982, when. the government spent $40 million — worth about $45 million in 1985 dollars. The value of the timber destroyed this year has not been calculated. Groups and individuals are invited to write to the regional manager of the appropriate forest region by Nov. 15 for consideration by the review boards, SUGGESTS PRESENTATION They could also present submissions directly to the Frank Howard, the New NANAIMO (CP) — Time is Vaudrin's biggest enemy now — and ihe Nanaimo boy probably has a day or less to live without a third’ liver transplant. “There is no more time to waste,” said Marlene Sie- grist, co-ordinator of a fund- raising effort that has col- lected more than $70,000 for Shane and another boy in this Vancouver Island city’ who needs a transplant.

Pittsburgh's Children’s Hospital, where a spokesman described his con- dition Tuesday night as “crit- ical and unstable.” The spokesman said a donor had not yet been found for Shane, who had problems with the first two -liver transplants that were per- formed Sept. 5 and Oct. 1: “His doctor said he is a high priority patient,” the hospital spokesman: said. Siegrist said Shane had been classified as a “level nine” patient, which is the highest priority and means he will get a new liver before any of the other children at the hos- pital who are awaiting trans- plants. The hospital spokesman nk Howard, the New Democratic Partys-foréstry__salda third liver traneplant spokesman, said the focus is too narrow. not unusual and has “It's all right to find out from the experience that we faced at the fire time itself how we can be better prepared, but what we are not inquiring into by this process is the policy and the attitude and the short-sightedness of government,” ‘he said. Howard said the extraordinarily dry condition this year was ri d by ‘the irr i of. restraint” by the Social Credit government, which undermined the ability to respond quickly to fires. The terms of reference “absolves the government, and the minister, of all responsibility,” Howard said, repeating his call for a full scale inquiry that would also consider the level of financing and overall policy.

I believe they are exhaus- ted.” Shane had his third birth day Friday, almost a month cafter the first liver trans- plant. An abscess on the transplanted organ led to its deterioration and the second transplant was performed Oct. 1. A blood type dif- ference led Shane to reject the organ.

Bier Hohe vests ar different Kansas ‘City batters, gle-game total, and walked only one over Sane: innings’ to lead Toronto Blue Jays to a 6-1 victory in the first game of baseball's American League championship series. ‘There was no evidence of the inconsistency that plagued him en route to a 14-13 record during the regular season. Even the Royals, who are grateful that the playoff has been expanded to a best-of-seven series, said Stieb was much more impressive than during the season when they beat him three times. “Stieb was the toughest right-hander I faced last year (1984), but he didn’t seem the same this year,” said Royals first baseman Steve Balboni. “Tonight, he was his old self. “He threw a-great breaking ball. You don't like to get that far behind anybody, no matter who's pitching.” Losing pitcher Charlie Leibrandt, who finished second in the league earned-run-average~battle against Stieb (2.48-2.69), but had a 17-9 record, said the Blue Jays applied pressure early and never let up. “We were battling, but they broke it open early and it started to look like a long night,” said Leibrandt, who brought a 3-0 lifetime record against the Jays into the game. “With a five-run lead, Stieb looked unbeatable.” The Royals fell into a 2-0 hole in the second inning on catcher Ernie Whitt’s run-scoring single and a run-producing infield single by Tony Fernandez. A three-run third inning, highlighted by pinch-hitter Rance Mulliniks’s run-batted-in single, Whitt's bases-loaded walk and Fernandez’s run-produci sacrifice fly, sent Leibrandt to his earliest exit since joining the Royals and put Stieb in control. The Jays added their sixth run in the fourth. George Bell singled to centre leading off and, when designated hitter Cliff Johnson grounded out to shortstop, raced to third. Balboni threw wildly past Brett at third and Bell dashed home. Even though there were five innings still to play, the di crowd of 39,115 sensed victory. “T love eee in front of the home-town crowd,” said Stieb, who had won only one of his last six starts heading into post-season play. “Especially in a game of this magnitude. “I thought (because of nervousness) I'd be a lot wilder than normal, but in the bullpen I felt strong. I was throwing well and my mechanics were good. When I went into the - game I felt relaxed and confident.” Through seven innings, Stieb had allowed only a two-out double by George Brett in the first inning and a one-out Brett single in the fourth. In the eighth, pinch-hitter Dane Iorg stroked a two-out double to left-centre that went for naught as Lonnie Smith filed out to end the inning. IKE RELIEVES : HEN! Reliever Tom Henke surrendered the lone Kansas City run in the ninth after successive singles by Willie Wilson and Brett and a one-out fielder’s choice by Pat Sheridan. Stieb said he had no qualms about being pulled after eight innings and being denied a complete-game win. .“Bobby told me that I'd had enough and he's paid to make those decisions,” said Stieb. “Anything Bobby wants to do is all right by me.” With a six-run lead, Cox said he wanted to give his bullpen stopper, Tom Henke, a bit of work and rest Stieb for another start, Saturday in Kansas City. “Henke hadn't pitched in three days and we wanted to test his arm to see how he was throwing,” said Cox. “This work will make me sharper,” said Henke: “I worked on my changeup out there and when I have that working well, it makes my fastball better.” Stieb's most disconcerting moment came as he was warming up to pitch the second inning. A woman in a black mini-dress raced to the pitching mound and kissed him. Security guards led her away and Stieb continued his excellent performance. The loss left Kansas City manager Dick Howser with a 0-10 record in post-season play. The second game of the series was scheduled for noon PDT today, with Jimmy Key of the Jays facing fellow left-hander Bud Black of the Royals. NL series opens tonight B.C.

The timing (of the guidelines) is that I'd be surprised to see any new clubs in operation next year.” ‘ CAN BE DONE But Beach believes the interest would be to meet the goal of 10,000 season tickets: “The market research work we've done indicates that the inherent potential is very much here (al- though) you never know until you've actually tried to sell them.” “There are some cities smaller than Vancouver that are achieving (the tic- ket sales).” The brewery president downplayed the criteria that potential franchise cities _have_outdoor_sta- _ term flexible deals. ___ diums.with natural grass. “The guidelines are all expressed in terms of pre- ferences.

Rebels split By CasNews Staff Castlegar Rebels opened the 1985-86 Kootenay Inter- national Junior Hockey League season on the week- end with a win and a loss. Friday night in Grand Forks, the Border Bruins surprised the Rebels 7-6 while on Saturday at the Community Complex the Rebels managed a 13-9 vic- tory over Rossland Warriors, who came to Castlegar with only 12 players. Rebels coach Joe Hanik described his team’s play as “not too- good, not too bad.” Of the Grand Forks game, Hanik commented that the Border Bruins are “just an average team.” but. the Reb- els ran into a strong goal- tender. Hanik noted that the Rebels outshot the Bruins 49-21. Against Rossland Satur day night the Rebels ~ got caught with a number of penalties and as a result the Warriors had quite a few power play goals. Hanik said the score should weekend games have been 13°2-for the Reb- els, but the game was wide open and the Rebels’ lacked discipline. The Rebels are hoping to improve on their goaltending with the arrival of Nick Col- vin of Kelowna. Colvin had | been trying out for a junior team in the Okanagan city,’ but was cut. The Rebels’ only other goaltender is Rick Rogerson. Meanwhile, Mickey Muller. Scott Kinakin and Stan Mak ortoff were cut from the team.. Hanik is hoping that Colvin's goaltending will help _cut down the number of goals the Rebels are giving up. Hanik said the team will also have to work on cutting down the number of penal- ties. Castlegar has “a really good team,” he said, but the Rebels like to play rough sometimes and they'll have to stay away from that. The Rebels travel to Kim berley Friday night to play the Knights. Saturday they _play host to Columbia Val Rockies.
