The Guild participated vie- toriously, in the sheep-to- shawl contest at The Mine Salary hearings unfair? By CasNews Staff A Castlegar teachers’ representative says arbitration hearings on a salary agreement held here this weekend were unfair. Dave Dudley, Castlegar District Teachers’ Association spokesman, said Tuesday the government-appointed arbitration chairman appeared biased, and the teachers had insufficient time for rebuttal after the Castlegar school board made its presentation. The teachers and school board both presented cases to a three-member ar bitration panel after previous nego- tiations to settle on an agreement for the 12 months beginning July 1 broke down earlier this month. Dudley said arbitration board chair. man Bill Stewart informed him before the hearings began that “we were going to get a particular settlement. Which sounds totally biased.” Although Dudley declined to say what the “particular settlement” was, he said Stewart indicated that a negotiated 2.3 per cent salary increase recently agreed upon by the Trail school board and its teachers “was totally unacceptable.” Other members of the panel were Vancouver lawyer Rick Coleman for the teachers, and Kamloops lawyer Jerry Bell for the district Mediator to help VANCOUVER (CP) — Mediator Jack Chapelas has been appointed to help con. tract talks between the Brit. ish Columbia Nurses’ Union and the Health Labor Re- lations Association. NEW IN TOWN? LET US PUT OUT THE MAT FOR YOU! Joyce 365-3091 Connie 365-7601 Apart from the hearings, “these guys aren't supposed to talk or any. thing with either side,” said Dudley, who's previously participated in five arbitration hearings. Dudley also said the teachers had to rush through a 10-minute rebuttal after the school board presented its case, because panel members were anxious to catch a plane flight out of Castlegar Sunday afternoon. “I think the case would have probably gone at the most another three-quarters of an hour,” he said. “It was cut short.” However, board chairman Doreen Smecher said the hearings were fair. “There was never a time when the chairman suggested (the teachers) rush or not cover a particular area,” she said. Smecher agreed that “there wasn't a lot of rebuttal time” for the teachers, and the panel was “certainly twitchy about getting out of there and catching their afternoon plane.” But she added, “The panel asked any number of times, ‘Is there enough time? Do you need any more time?’ They were assured they could catch their plane.” And teacher representatives were allowed comment during the school board's 1'/2-hour presentation as well as during the rebuttal period allowed after it, said Smecher. Dudley was also critical of the choice of Stewart as panel chairman. He said traditionally the other two panel mem bers have input into the choice of chairman, but Bell, the school board's representative, refused to consider choices put forward by Coleman for the teachers. “This chairman was forced upon us,” Dudley said. The teachers asked for a 7.2 per cent salary increase for the 12-month period, said Dudley. The percentage was arrived at by adding the two consumer price indexes for the past two years. Dudley said the teachers haven't had a raise for the past 1'/z years. While Smecher said the board didn’t specify a wage package for the teachers, Dudley said the board sug. gested the teachers receive no salary increase or increments. The school board previously sug gested a 1.5 per cent increase for teachers with no salary increments, or increments for the 12-month period — an offer the teachers rejected The teachers had countered with a proposal for a 1.7 per cent increase with increments.

(CP) — To know Al Bruno is to love him, as one would love a favorite pooch who's been caught with his paw in the garbage but isn’t quite sure if he should dig right in. Bruno is in just such a position as head coach of Hamilton Tiger-Cats, know ing whatever develops at the Cats’ Brock University train- ing site he’s got to come up with the right answer. There's no doubt troubled times will prevail before things improve for the Can adian Football League fran- chise, struggling in recent years despite apparent suc. cess on the field that has seen the Ticats go to the Eastern finals in 1983 and the Grey Cup game last year despite compiling anemic won-lost marks in regular season play. Even Bruno fears turbu- lent times for the Ticats des- pite their minor success in 1984 that followed two successive weekends of punt- ing records by kicker Bernie Ruoff that saw them through the rain-soaked Eastern play- offrounds. He doesn't expect any mir. acles, such as Hamilton dis- lodging Toronto Argonauts Pirates win 4-3 over Houston By The Associated Press The big individual winner in Pittsburgh's 4-3 National League victory Tuesday night against Houston didn’t get into the baseball game until the fourth inning and the big loser didn't arrive at the ballpark until one hour after the game started. Backup catcher Junior Or tiz, who replaced injured Tony Pena in the fourth inn. ing, hit the winning single in the 12th inning to break a 3-3 tie that had kept the game deadlocked since the seventh inning. Houston reliever Julio Sol ano started the day in Tuc son, Ariz., with the Astros’ Triple A farm club, but caught a noon flight and ar- rived’ at the Astrodome in time to pitch two innings and get the loss. Ortiz’s single to right field off Solano in the 12th sent Lee Mazzilli home with the winning run and ended the Astros’ longest game of the season. Pena sprained his left ankle sliding into first base in the fourth inning on a pickoff attempt. Pirate officials didn’t say how long he would be out of the lineup. In other National League games, Montreal Expos downed San Diego Padres 8-5, Cincinnati Reds out lasted Chicago Cubs 13-11 and St. Louis Cardinals thumped Atlanta Braves 9-3. EXPOS 8 PADRES 5 Andre Dawson drove in three runs, including a pair with a two-out double that broke a 5-5 tie in the eighth inning. Dawson had pinch. hit in the sixth and given Montreal a 5-4 lead with a run-scoring single. REDS 13 CUBS 11 Tony Perez hit a three-run homer and keyed a tie-break ing, two-run seventh inning with a run-scoring double to anchor Cincinnati's vietory. CARDINALS 9 BRAVES 3 Tito Landrum hit a two run homer that triggered a seven-run fourth inning and a single that capped the inning as St. Louis hammered At lanta with 19 hits. Landrum's first homer of the season came after Jack Clark start ed the inning with a broken bat single and just before the game was delayed by rain for 24 minutes. Castlegar Stars win one, Castlegar Stars visited the East Kootenay on the weekend for two premier division matches. They re. turned with a fine showing of three points for their tally. Kimberley Athletic met the Stars on Saturday, show ing an inadequate and sin gular response to the Stars’ two goals. The opening half found Stars’ Frank Costa dangerously close to the Kimberley net, converting a tie one deflection with a turn-around drive low in the corner past the Kimberley keeper. Before the interval, Kim berley responded, being al: lowed to switch back a shot over the Stars’ goalkeeper. Midway past the interval, Stars’ Rob Barbosa scored the decider on the volley from Tom Thor-Larsen. The Stars faced the Cran- brook Rovers on Sunday and battled to a scoreless draw from the top of the regular- season standings. “We're striving for first place, every team does,” says Bruno. “But I'm being as re- alistic as hell.” The Tiger-Cats opened training camp this week with 93 players. But most of the pre-season interest is about those who aren't there. Chief among the absentees, and the most difficult to replace, is quarterback Dieter Brock. Brock up a multi- » multi-year of- million Tet to join Los Angeles Rams ~ of the League. LEAVES VOID There's a void left by the retirement of veteran centre Henry Wasczezuk. Wide re- ceiver Ron Johnson is look. ing for work in the NFL and cornerback Felix Wright is to join the NFL's Cleveland Browns. Wright's corner partner, Gerald Bess, who led the CFL in 1984 with 12 inter. ceptions, was also reported looking to the NFL. But he recently signed a two-year deal with the Ticats. “Quarterbacking is my main concern,” Bruno con cedes. “Sure we're going to miss those guys, any team would.” Despite the absence of a proven quarterback, Bruno speaks confidently of hold. overs Pete Gales and Jeff Tedford. “With the quarterbacks we have now there'll be more scrambling, rollouts, boot National Football legs, more motion and wider sets. If these kids can pick up the offence and put the ball out there, we certainly have the guys who can catch it.” Rookie imports John Roo- ney and Art Williams and Canadian Phil Scarfone — a Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Association all-star at McMaster University in 1984 — will also be in camp contesting the quarterback position but it's unlikely they'll get more than a ince. His enthasiasm is tem- pered, somewhat, by the ap- parent lack of a running game — at least among those in camp. Johnny Shepherd, the East's outstanding rookie in 1983, has re-injured a hip that forced him to miss most of last season. Kelvin Lind. sey, expected to replace Shepherd as Hamilton's out. side running threat, injured his knee five games into 1984 season and hasn't recovered. The offensive line will have a new face — John Mal inosky, a 1984 Eastern all star over from Toronto Argonauts in a trade for Hamilton's second-round pick in next year’s Canadian col lege draft. Last year Bruno allowed Brock and assistant coach Elijah Pitts to run the of. fence. This year he says he'll be more involved. “Offence has always been my thing,” said Bruno, an all-star receiver during his CFL playing days. SHSS tennis team wins title Stanley Humphries Sec. ondary School tennis team upset J.L. Crowe of Trail to win their eighth straight West Kootenay Champion ship. The local squad posted a 6-2 win-loss record over a short season which was ham. pered by inclement weather. Stanley Humphries defeat- ed Nelson (LVR) by a score of 83 to qualify for the final against J.L. Crowe. Castle. gar matched up against Trail over the past weekend and knocked off the league win. ners by an identical 8-3 mar. gin. In the final league en counter the Crowe defeated SHSS 7-4. Logan Millertait, No. 1 singles player, led the team with an inspirational 7-46 vic tory. Millertait came back from a 5-2 deficit, fighting off four-set points to eventually defeat his opponent 9-7 in the tie breaker. The doubles team of Brent Bettger and Graham Fleet who have lost only once all year swept their competition with 62 and 63 scores. Bettger and Fleet are prob- ably the strongest boys’ doubles team in the West Kootenays and are expected to do well at provincial play Rollen Raposo and Tim Hor. coff, an impressive rookie, also played very well posting victories in both of their matches. On the girls’ side the vet eran team of Connie Elasoff and Kim Sorenson led the way with two important dou. bles victories. Sorenson and Elasoff played very consis. tently winning handily by scores of 6-0 and 6-1. The first year doubles team of June Fleet and Kerri Harshenin, both Grade 9 students, won a eluteh victory over Trail's A doubles team. The team will be leaving for the provincial champion- ships Thursday, hoping to improve last year’s 14th place standing. By EDMONTON (CP) — Stanley Cup The Oilers took a handed effort. been 4-1 or 5-1, score on a penalty shot. aren't easy to beat even with a two-goal advantage. 31 stranglehold on the best-of-seven Stanley Cup final Tuesday by coming back from an early 3-1 deficit and skating to a 5-3 victory. f “We had a terrible first period,” said Edmonton defenceman Paul Coffey, who scored a record-breaking 10th playoff goal and notched two assists. “We were fortunate to come out of it behind only 3-2.” The goal posts and a missed penalty shot played a role in stopping the Flyers. The Philadelphia team built a 3-1 lead in the first 13 minutes on Rich Sutter's goal at 46 seconds, Todd Bergen's power-play score and Murray Craven's short- But as Wayne Gretzky admitted later, it could have Mark Howe and Peter Zezel hit goal posts and Ron Sutter, a tireless worker for the Flyers all night, failed to NO COMMENT “Don't ask me about the penalty shot,” he said in the Flyers’ dressing room. “I have no comment on that.” Sutter was hauled down by Mark Messier on a breakaway while his team was shorthanded. “I knew what he would do,” Edmonton goaltender Grant Fuhr said of the third penalty shot — all unsuccessful — ever awarded in Stanley Cup finals. “He's been doing the same thing all series, going either for the glove side or the five hole (between the legs).” Edmonton Oilers aren't easy to beat JOHN KOROBANIK Philadelphia defenceman Brad Marsh says the Edmonton Oilers are too good a hockey team to be beaten by one goal. The Flyers found out Tuesday night that the Sutter tried to beat the goaltender between the legs, but hit Fuhr’s right pad. “I hardly had to move,” said Fubr. Craven got his shorthanded goal three minutes later, at 11:32, but it was the last goal for the Flyers. “I never felt comfortable with our lead,” said Marsh. “If it had been 3-1 after the first period it would have been a little better.” But at 18:23 Charlie Huddy scored the second of four Edmonton power-play goals with the second of three long, shots that eluded goaltender Pelle Lindbergh. - SCORES GOAL Glens Anderson opened the second period with the tying goal after 21 seconds. “That was the big goal,” said Craven. “It was still 3-3 but that took the momentum away from us.” The Flyers put up a stubborn fight the rest of the way but were unable to hold off the Oilers. Gretzky scored 12 minutes into the second and four minutes into the third, both on power plays. “Before, we had been trying to foree the puck through the middle. Tonight we threw the puck back to the points, went back to basic hockey and that opened things up for us.” Held to one shot on goal — Coffey's goal — until Doug Crossman drew a double minor penalty at 8:32, the Oilers shook loose of the Flyers hitting and checking long enough to get their offence on track. “I was disappointed,” Crossman said of the minor penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct tacked on to his holding penalty. “I didn’t say anything and he gave me a technical.” The win was Edmonton's 15th consecutive playoff triumph at home and the Oilers will try to wrap up their second straight championship here Thursday. EIGHTH VICTORY Blue Jays set record By The Associated Press While Toronto's exploits may be tio mateh for the Fun- away Detroit Tigers staged a year ago en route to winning the World Series, the con- sistent Blue Jays aren't apol- ogizing to anyone. Toronto won a club-record eighth straight baseball game Tuesday night to run its mark to 29-14 — identical to its showing after 43 games last season. The showing pales when compared with Detroit's 35-8 mark at the same time a year ago, but this time the Blue Jays lead the Tigers by four games instead of trailleg be by Kansas seven in the American League East Division. Toronto's Dave Stieb hur led a three-hit 6-1 victory against Chicago White Sox. Stieb, 5-3, improved his life- time record to 11-3 against the White Sox and 7-1 at Comiskey Park. It was his second complete game of the season. Ernie Whitt provided ail the offence Stieb needed with a home run, two singles and three runs batted in. Elsew! and Mil waukee edged Cleveland 3-2. RANGERS 6 ROYALS 1 Texas right-hander Burt Hooton, 35, scattered seven hits to end Kansas City’s six-game winning streak. It also dropped the Royals a full game behind idle California in the league's West Division. It was the fourth start for Hooton, who made seven re- lief appearances before he was moved into the rotation. Rookie Oddibe McDowell drove in two runs for Texas. BREWERS 3 INDIANS 2 Rollie Fingers, 38, a factor in Milwaukee's pennant-win- ning 1982 season, recorded his seventh save when he combined with Moose Haas for a five-hitter over Cleve- land. The right-hander is baseball's all-time save leader with 331. Fingers re- tired all five batters he faced after coming on with one out in the eighth inning. FIS to consider new rules By GRANT KERR VANCOUVER (CP) — The Federation internationale de ski will be asked to adopt eligibility guidelines used by the International Olympic Committee when FIS voting delegates meet Friday. The ski federation's elig ibility committee will make the recommendation to the full council at the 35th bi- ennial meeting of the world governing body of alpine, nordic and freestyle skiing. “We like the IOC rule that you must be a citizen of the country you represent,” com mittee chairman Peter An drews of Vancouver said Tuesday. “It's the easiest solution to the whole eligibility thing.” The rule, if approved, would prevent Mare Girar. delli, an Austrian, from rep- resenting Luxembourg at the 1987 world alpine champion ships at Crans-Montana, Aus tria. Girardelli, the 1984-85 World Cup points champion, is an Austrian citizen but has competed internationally for the Federation Luxembour. geoise de Ski. “A competitor would have to enter the world cham. pionships under the national ity of the country of which he is a citizen,” said Andrews. The controversial issue of individual sponsorship of ski ers proposed by Switzerland was rejected in committee PROBLEM AREA “The feeling was the Swiss proposal would create havoc and cause a lot of problems,” Andrews said. “The com mittee will recommend to council that no action be taken on it. “There are other ways we can allow sponsors to have more space. There is a prop. osal from Austria that we look at ways of putting more advertising on headgear and keep it away from the bi Andrews said individual sponsorships are not desir. able because there would be conflicts with major sponsors of races. FIS was expected to an nounce today that the World Cup downhill season will begin this fall with three races in Argentina, a break from the traditional early December start in Europe. Delegates also are anxious ly waiting for the final draft of a proposal by Serge Lang of France, the major-domo of World Cup racing, which ap. parently would make it eas ier for major alpine nations like Switzerland and Austria to increase their number of entries in races. FIS is meeting outside Europe for only the fourth time and for the first time in Canada. The conference deals with rule changes, sched. uling, finances and elections of members to council. The buzz of international diplomacy is heard in hos. pitality suites, receptions and dinners as various bidders try to influence voting del- egates from Andorra to Mon golia to the United States. Thunder Bay, Ont., is com peting against Lahti, Fin land, Autrans, France, and Val di Fiemme, Italy, in the nordie bidding.
