Castlegar News July 9, 1986 REPORT SATISFIES BOTH SIDES ST. JOHN'S, Nfld. (CP) — Sealers and sealing industry spokesmen say the report of the royal commission on sealing has vindicated the industry and ever, that the seal-pup hunt be banned because public opinion is against it. ‘The CBC report said the commission says the federal government should help sealers revive mature-seal hunt. It suggests the government set up 4 $50-million economic development fund and a further $50-million in compensation for sealers hard hit by the loss of the seal industry. ‘The 10-day injunction against further distribution of the report, issued Monday night by a Quebec judge at the request of commission head, Quebec judge Albert Malouf, was to be lifted Thursday in Montreal at the commission's ston oe | request. A number of newspapers had reported on the substance of the CBC report. ‘The CBC aired the report on its Midday news and current affairs show today. BOTH SIDES HAPPY While Atlantic sealers were happy: with the H 's the | group Greenpeace Foundation says its cause has also been vindicated. Vivia Boe, co-ordinator of the foundation's inter national seal campaign based in Seattle, Wash., said in a telephone interview Tuesday that all sides should be pleased with the report, which has not yet been formally delivered to the federal government. “I think that the report vindieates the anti-sealing movement,” said Boe. “I was happy to see that a real, clear-eyed, level-headed, exhaustive examination of the issue has shown that our impressions were borne out — that is that the harp seal population was declining throughout most of the 19th and 20th centuries due to over-hunting.” Art Pierce, executive director of the Canadian Sealers A jon, said the inte ission’s ruling that clubbing seal pups and shooting mature animals are no more cruel than methods used in slaughterhouses constitutes a victory for the industry. HALIFAX (CP) — There was a tragic ending Tuesday to the story of Warburton, the nine-year-old Ontario boy who had been the object of an enormous search since he disappeared the week before in dense woods outside Halifax. Searchers found the body of the Hamilton boy at about 5:20 p.m., a few hundred metres outside the perimeter of the area in which were search efforts. . The body was found in an alder thicket in a, gully of marshy ground, about three kilometres from the Beaver- bank home of relatives where the Warburton family was visiting. It appeared “he just got tired and put his head down to go to sleep, and that's how we found him,” said RCMP Const. Dwayne King. Helen Bulger, the boy's aunt, told the family has nothing but the highest praise for the people who volunteered their time to find their son. But she said they believe the military should have been The discovery of the body came shortly taking part in the search found a pair of child's sneakers. Parents Tom and Doreen Warburton identified it as their son's. His body was found about 100 metres away. It was not known Tuesday night how long the boy had been dead, but it is expected an autopsy will be performed. Ironically, the finding of the sneakers occurred as search organizers were meeting to determine whether to reduce the scale of the search, which was in its eighth day. Nova Scotians turned out by the hundreds to volunteer for, search crews and to donate food to those scouring the woods near Beaverbank, about 20 kilometres northwest of Halifax. At times, as many as 1,000 people — trained search crews, fire brigades and volunteers — were in the woods looking for the slightly built, blond youngster. Organizers suggest it may be the largest search mounted in Nova Scotia, estimating that a total of 3,000 people took part. ‘Andrew was last seen late in the afternoon last Tuesday as he headed to meet friends at a swimming hole near the home of his relatives. He never made the rendezvous with However, he feels the government should impose a moratorium on hunting the white-coated seal pups and not an outright ban, as recommended by the commission. “I wouldn't say it's a victory,” Pierce said of the commission report. “It's more of a satisfaction in having what we've wanted to point out all along accepted. his friends. Wearing only sneakers and bright green shorts over a bathing suit, the child got lost in the dense, mosquito-in- fested forests of the area. ‘There were several reported sightings of the child during the seven-day search, but organizers discounted most, saying over-eager searchers probably mistook wildlife for the boy. been saved,” speculated the individual, who asked not to be identified. Defence Minister Perrin Beatty ordered the army to join the search Saturday night, but military personnel did not join the search until Monday. No official reason has been given for the delay.

(CP) — Carling Bassett of Toronto survived a second-set service break to defeat Sue Hatch of Lambeth, Ont., 6-2, 64, in first-round play Tuesday at the $50,000 Sun Life Nation- als at the Ontario Racquet Club. Hatch, a 22-year-old Uni- versity of Florida student, broke Bassett in the fourth game of the second set to go up 3-1. But the top-seeded twotime champion broke back and won three straight games, losing just one point in the process. “At 6-2, 1-0 and 40-love, I played too loose and lost my concentration for a while,” said Bassett, the world's No. 13-ranked woman player. “But I did not think I was going to lose the set at any point. “Sue played it tough in the second set. But I'm glad it was a tough first round. It's good for me.” Bassett, 18, captured the Canadian crown in 1982 at age 14 and repeated in 1963. In 1984, she was forced to withdraw in the semifinals, suffering from contagious mononucleosis. She didn’t enter last year.

After spending more than a year in search of his 100th career complete game, the Chicago Cubs right-hander went the distance Tuesday night, giving up six hits, walking none and striking out six in a 4-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants. The loss dropped the Giants into a first-place tie with the Houston Astros in the National League West. Eckersley, 3-5, whose last previous complete game came on June 16, 1985, won for the first time since May 26. “I have been terrible, ineffective and unlucky at different times,” Eckersley said of his drought. “There's always a key play in every game, and tonight, came (in the seventh inning) when that ball (by Chris Brown) hit off my shoe for a double play. “That was a sure hit, so I guess my luck finally changed.” In other NL games Tuesday night, it was: Houston Astros 4, Montreal Expos 1; Philadelphia Phillies 8, Atlanta Braves 2; Cincinnati Reds 5, New York Mets 4 in 10 innings; St. Louis Cardinals 1, Los Angeles Dodgers 0 and San Diego Padres 4, Pittsburgh Pirates 2.

The Giants took a 1-0 lead in the third when Jose Uribe singled, went to second on Krukow’s sacrifice bunt and scored on Randy Kutcher's single. The Cubs rallied in the fifth as Jody Davis led off with a single and scored on Gary Matthews’ double to right-centre. Dunston’s one-out, broken bat single to centre scored Matthews and put Chicago ahead 2-1 Jerry Mumphrey’'s leadoff homer in the seventh, his second of the season, gave the Cubs a 3-1 lead Astros 4 Expos 1 Denny Walling hit a two-run homer off ace Montreal reliever Jeff Reardon in the eighth inning to cap a four-run Houston comeback over the Expos. Jay Tibbs, 4-5, took a 10 lead into the eighth, allowing just three hits over the first seven innings, before tiring Jervis captures golf title CHILLIWACK, B.C. (CP) — Linda Jervis of Pitt Mea dows Club in Maple Ridge captured medallist honors Tuesday after the second round in the British Columbia women's amateur golf championship.

Wyatt, 20, Canada's top ranked amateur in 1985, also was a model of consistency as she shot her second straight 70, leaving a 10-shot gap between second and third place. Gail Anderson of Kelowna shot a three-over 76 to finish in third at 150 and fourth place was occupied by Judy Medlicott of Calgary at 152 after a 77 Liz Kolar of Vancouver finished sixth at 153 after a TI, while two players Sheila Bentley of Capilano in West Vancouver and junior Cindy Ho from Uplands in Vietoria, tied for sixth at 154 Bentley shot a 77 and Ho had an 80. five holes and had just two bogeys in her second straight sub-par round.
