(AP) — Now that he’s played a game for the Atlan- ta Falcons, Gilbert Renfroe has become more than just a free agent from the Canadian Football Legue. He’s a winner and crowd pleaser, too. Renfroe threw three~touchdown passes in the fourth quarter last Saturday to lead the Falcons to a 31- 27 NFL exhibition victory over the i He 10-of-15 passes for 146 yards in his league debut. This week, Renfroe has been besieged with interview requests. And most Falcon fans even know the 27- year-old went to Tennessee State, ‘When you don’t win very often, like this team hasn't, it’s hard to find a hero on your football team,’’ Ren- froe,; who turned pro with the CFL's Ottawa Rough Riders in 1986, said Thursday. ‘‘So the people are willing to embrace you, make you a so-called instant success a lot more readily.”” But he’s keeping his early success in perspective. **Everybody knows that Chris Miller is going to be the starting quar- terback,’’ Renfroe said. ‘‘I'm still No. 4 on the depth chart and the other guys ahead of me have all had NFL experience. “*Me, I’ve only had one quarter.”’ With Miller as the designated star- ter, Renfroe is battling Hugh Millen and Scott Campbell for a backup role. Renfroe has an advantage because he played-a~ wide-open offence in Canada, which fits right in with the Red Dog offence installed by new coach Jerry Glanville. “I do feel real comfortable in the offence,’ Renfroe said. ‘But after the performance I had, it's a little scary, “I want to get back out there and show that it wasn’t a fluke."’ Glanville has not decided who will As for his Falcons debut, Renfroe said he didn’t know what to expect. “I just wanted to keep it simple, make it as less complicated as possible,’’ he said. ‘*Then it was just a ‘\ dlcons matter of executing.

Renfroe passed for 5,558 yards and 48 touchdowns in three years at Ten- nessee State, but was not drafted. So he went to Canada. He said NFL teams didn’t draft him because of rumors that he had already signed with Ottawa before the °86 draft. He says he didn’t. In four CFL seasons with Ottawa and Toronto, Renfroe passed for 8,185 yards. He had several NFL, of- fers, but signed a two-year contract with the Falcons last February. Eskimos, but he no longer wants to play for the CFL team. The British Columbia Lions need someone like Hill at defensive end. Is a trade in the works? Hill said he'd like to end his career in Vancouver or in his hometown of Seattle with the Seahawks of the NEL. Lions president Joe Kapp says there isn’t a trade in the works. “What happens at this time of the year, | guess, (is that) the press, the media and fans get creative, a player can make a comment, the next thing you know we've got major trades. As far as I know, there’s nothing in the works. “And yet there’s always something in the works because every team in the league is doing what it takes to make their team better.

Hill will be a free agent at the end of the season. Boatmen . hitting stride OTTAWA (CP) — The Toronto Argos, a CFL team of great expec- tations, felt they finally hit their stride Thursday as they beat the Ottawa Rough Riders 41-25. “It -was probably our best-overall 60 minutes,” said Toronto head coach Don Matthews. Toronto’s no-huddle offence has sputtered this season, but not Thur- sday as the Argos rolled up 159 yards rushing and quarterback John Congemi threw for 389 yards. Congemi tossed two touchdown passes — 26 yards to wide receiver Trumaine Johnson and five yards to running back Kevin Smellie. Smellie rushed for 81 yards, in- cluding a one-yard touchdown leap, and running back Mike Clemons sprinted 62 yards to score. Congemi said the win showed the Argos don’t have to depend only on their receivers. “I know they want to get the ball more and do more things with it, but hey, we’re a team and whoever’s doing it will get the job done and we'll win,”’ said Congemi. “‘We can’t totally be a pass team and we're not,’’ added Matthews. “‘We throw the ball a lot more than we run it. We want to be that way, but sometimes our philosophy is the pass will set up the run.”” Kicker Lance Chomyc rounded out the Argos’ scoring with four field goals, the longest 38 yards.

It is headed: ‘*I got service with a snarl.”” He had already paid $45 in green fees for a round of golf in the rain on Whistler and then had to pay 50 cents more for tees and it was the last straw.

It is owned, I believe, by two brothers, Seve and Dino, and it specializes in Greek cuisine and is one of my favorite dining places. It gets off to a good start by being set well back from the street with good adjacent parking facilities. It also meets all the requirements of the Dineometer — staff, table and cream jug, together with such extras as table mats on the table, subdued but adequate lighting (like to be able to see my table companions as well as the color and texture of the dishes before me). There is a fresh flower in a bud vase on each table (single candles are OK for decoration but make awful illumination); the music is ethnic but subdued; the dining room is separated into areas by the use of two or more floor levels and unobstrusive dividers so that one does not have a sense of being crowded; the atmosphere is eminently relaxed and cordial, and maitre d’ Andreas is a professional, unfailingly pleasant and helpful. The water glasses on the table are kept filled with ice water. I drink a lot — of water. The last time We were there with relatives, Wally and Joan Clifford, I asked for.and received a copy of a menu. It is three pages of clearly printed and succinctly described goodies which starts with Orektika (appetizers), including four kinds of dips with pita bread and 13 other items prices from $2.95 to $6.50, plus a platter for two at $9.50. We always have the homous dip (takini and chick peas pate) with the pita bread for starters. This flat bread has to be the most delicate and tender that I have eaten anywhere. They used to make it on the premises, Andreas said, but then they discovered a small bakery on Fourth Avenue which made it better. They have bought it from there ever since. homous. Ihave tried some of the other appetizers — dolmakadia (stuffed grape leaves), kalamaria (deep- fried squid) and spanakipitta (spinach and feta cheese pie) — all good with sips of retsina — wine — (an acquired taste) but I still go back to the pita bread and Connoisseurs, check your dineometer bouglasa, bal Reflections and recollections By John Charters cream jug. Part way through the dinner the music suddenly became much louder with a heavy pronounced beat and the semi-oriental rhythm of the Greek folk dance. It was the signal for Rahma the belly dancer to appear. Lithe, sinuous and veiled she moved easily among the tables, first doing a slow and provocative number and then, with a merry grin and eyes alight with mischief, moving faster and faster while draping her veil over the Soupa — there are three kinds — then salatta, three more kinds, but the horiatiki (Greek salad), has no rivals and so I go no further in this direction. Under house specialties on the next page comes first the two choices of roast rack of lamb. The one, As You Like It, is described as a whole, tender rack of lamb baked with fine herbs and served with roast potatoes, fresh vegetables and a special sauce. The second, Traditional Village Style, is prepared in a mustard sauce. However, I never get beyond the first choice so I cannot comment.

She slipped away as quickly as she had come with much deserved applause, and the temporary taverna atmosphere of the place returned to the quiet ing room.

NATIONAL NEWS Predicting weather a no-win situation By MARK BASTIEN The Canadian Press **So you're doing a story on i who do the weather on TV, eh? veteran Edmonton broadcaster Bill Matheson. “Well, you’re talking to one. Last night I Said there’s no way we'd avoid those storms coming our way, and what do you think happened today? Nothing. “That's OK, though. At least I'm maintaining my perfect record.” TV weather forecasters: You love ‘em. You hate em. You wish they'd get it right. Matheson has had enough practice — he’s been at it 36 of his 64 years. He’s worked at a tiny TV station in L i Alta., a high-p what happened.” Once described by a TV critic as a “di windba: has become an Edmonton favorite for his poetic forecasts. ‘When he predicts an ‘termine man- tle will be spread o’er the land by morning," for example, he means it will snow. If he talks about ‘‘darkling shadows,’ he’s forecasting rain. But like other less-florid Canadian weather personalities, Matheson’s forecasts are sometimes all wet. And when they are, viewers can get nasty. One weather watcher was so enraged by a forecast by Richard Zurawski — one of only a few Canadian TV forecasters who is also a ABC outlet in New York City, and now at independent CITV in Edmon- ton. “I’ve been wrong thousands of times, but how can you avoid it?" says the balding . who — that he tried to sue him and his station for dispensing false news. “*L said something like, ‘Well, win- ter is finally over, so now you can start planting your gardens,’’ remem- favors the comb-over method to con- ceal his beaming dome. “When I get it right, people wonder bers Z 38, now the weather whiz on ATV's Live at Five newscast in Halifax. The incident—occurred when he worked in Windsor, Ont. ““What happened was this guy went out and bought $3,000 worth of flowers and planted them. Then we had a cold snap and everything froze and died."’ After much heated discussion, the station persuaded the irate gardener that Zurawski could not have known temperatures would plummet “Weather is what in physics is called an ill-posed problem,"’ says Zurawski. ‘We never have enough information to solve it."” Which explains why once, just after he'd forecast zero per cent chance of rain, thunder boomed through the studio and there was a massive down- pour outside Canada’s weather forecasters get most of their information from En- vironment Canada. Some, like Zurawski, use the raw data to devise their own forecasts. Others simply repeat — with the help of com- puterized maps — what the federal weather officials tell them. Either way, they're subject to the wrath of viewers. J.J. Clarke, a king-sized quipster who does the weather at CJOH in Ot- tawa, was recently accused of ruining a young woman's wedding. “‘Her mother called me up in April asking for a forecast for a certain day in July,"’ says the bad funmeister, who once wore a sheet on air and had the weather map beamed on to his body. “So I explained July is generally a warm, sunny month.”’ Generally. The day of the wedding it poured. Clarke was the one who got dum ped on. Usually, though, viewers laugh at his gaffes, he says. Some tune in sim- ply to watch his antics — which in- clude doing the forecast while treading water in the St. Lawrence River Some viewers of CBC Calgary wat- ch the weather for non-meteorologi cal reasons too. They want to see what tie Steve Rothfels is wearing. The swarthy, 37-year-old broad- caster — who recently trimmed his droopy moustache and wonky dark locks on the advice of image con- sultants — has hundreds of ties, in- cluding ones shaped like fish and ones that light up And when he’s not entertaining people with his neckware, he does the weather on location — such as during pig races at the Calgary Stampede “You have to bash a donkey over the head to get it to pay attention,’’ Rothfels says. **It’s the same thing if you want to get people interested in the weather.” Kim Handysides really was shaken up while forecasting live on The Weather Network, a national cable station, about 7 p.m. on Nov. 25, 1988, A two-minute earthquake was rumbling beneath Quebec “| looked in the monitor and I could see myself moving around,”” says the perky 30-year-old Han dysides, now the weatherwoman on CBC Montreal's Newswatch “Then the lamp started swinging back and forth and I said, ‘I think we're having an earthquake — more on that later.""" She hasn’t always been so blase on air. Once, for reasons known only to her, she did a rap song announcing the arrival of spring. Montreal’s TV critics rapped her right back. **So I appeared on air the next day wearing a red clown nose, saying sometimes you have to have a sense of humor about the weather. Not so in Winnipeg — at least says local CBC weatherman Murray Parker. The 20-year veteran of the dinner time newscast 24 Hours says weather is serious business in the province that calls itself Sunny Manitoba. It’s so serious Parker can’t rejoice when the forecast calls for a beautiful warm. cloudless day. ~*What’s a nice day for some people isn’t a nice day for others,’ Parker says. ‘“The farmers need rain. They don’t want to hear about sun. “*No matter what you say about the weather, somehow you offend someone. “*You just can’t win.””
