Castlegar News september 23, 1967 Quintuplets are in good shape OTTAWA (CP) — Quintuplets born Tuesday at Ottawa General Hospital — believed to be the first in Canada since the Dionne quintuplets were delivered in 1934 — are in “pretty good shape” in intensive care, an official said early today. The official, who spoke on condition he not be identified, said in an interview the three girls and two boys were born by caesarean section and each weighed about two pounds. The mother and her husband, who already have one child, have asked the hospital not to release details about the birth or the names of the children. A hospital spokesman said only that the parents are from the Ottawa area. But the official said the quintuplets were born several weeks premature, and that to the best of his knowledge the mother was not taking fertility drugs. He added that the mother and father are both in their early 30s. The Dionne quintuplets — Annette, Emilie, Yvonne, Cecile and Marie — received worldwide attention on May 24, 1934 when they were born at Corbeil, Ont. At least two other sets of quintuplets have been born in the world in the last two years. In March 1987, a 30-year-old woman gave birth to all-girl quintuplets in Las Vegas. Robin Jenkins was the first woman in the United States to bear quintuplets without using fertility drugs. REPORT SAYS Parrot warns Canada Post over selling out OTTAWA (CP) — The Canadian Union of Postal Workers will negotiate in- tensively during the next week, but a strike is certain if Canada Post insists on selling franchises to private bus- iness, union president Jean- Claude Parrot said today.

The 21-year-od rookie netminder faced a major road. block with the New Jersey Devils and now is determined to earn a position with the rebuilding Vancouver Canucks. McLean turned in his second straight solid performance when the unbeaten Canucks got two goals each from Garth Butcher, Tony Tanti and Petri Skriko to beat the winless Los Angeles Kings 8-2 Tuesday night in an exhibition game before 6,628 fans. “It's tough competition, but right now I'm doing well.” McLean said after stopping 21 of 22 shots in a brilliant relief performance. “If I can keep up this consistency, maybe things will look good for me.” McLean replaced staring netminder Frank Caprice at 1:16 of the second period when Caprice suffered a bruised right elbow blocking a long shot by King defenceman Craig Redmond. The relief role was the second straight for McLean, i played 29 scoreless minutes in a 2-1 victory over the Kings Saturday in Victoria. DEALT BY DEVILS McLean and centre Greg Adams were dealt to the Canucks late last month by New Jersey in exchange for veteran centre Patrik Sundstrom and a draft choice. “Everyone's pushing each other, so it makes you try that much harder,” McLean said about his new environment. “It will be an interesting few weeks while things get sorted out.” McLean is competing with holdovers Caprice and Richard Brodeur, along with Darren Jensen, acquired in a trade from the Philadelphia Flyers. McLean played in the American Hockey League for most of last season with the Maine Mariners. He feared he was the odd man out in New Jersey. The Devils have hold- overs Alain Chevrier and Craig Billington, both rookies last year, plus veteran Bob Sauve, signed as a free agent from the, Chicago Black Hawks.

Post office can sell OTTAWA (CP) — Another national postal strike looms next week with the release of a report Tuesday saying the post office has a right to sell franchises as long as it respects the Canada Labor Code. The report, made public by a federal Labor Department, starts a seven-day countdown to a legal strike by the 23,000-member Canadian Union of Postal Workers at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 30. Talks aimed at averting a strike will resume today but neither side is optimistic of a breakthrough. CUPW had no immediate comment on the report, written by federal conciliation commissioner Claude Foisy. But it has warned a strike is ii because designed solely to avoid paying union wages and benefits. ‘The Canada Labor Relations Board ruled this month successor rights applied in the case of the first postal franchise — a Shoppers Drug Mart in Toronto — and said the new operator must pay union wages and benefits. But Foisy said it is far from certain the sale ruling would be made with other’ postal franchise agreements. He recommended Canada Post adopt job-security measures to ease the transition for any CUPW members displaced by the 10-year program. REJECTS POSITION Foisy rejected Canada Post's position its main interest franchising would wipe out up to 4,200 CUPW positions. Union president Jean-Claude Parrot plans to discuss the report at a news conference today. Canada Post negotiator Harold Dunstan called the report balanced and said he hopes it will lead to a negotiated settlement — although fi hising will not be ab Canada Post executives have said for weeks they are prepared to go through another strike — and again bring in strikebreakers — to force the union to accept franchising. STAGES WALKOUTS Postal service was disrupted in June and July when the Letter Carriers’ Union of Canada staged 19 days of rotating walkouts in a separate dispute over job security. Franchises are being sold by Canada Post to private operators for fees of up to $80,000 in return for a permanet 18.5-per-cent margin on the sale of postal products and services. Foisey said in his report there is nothing to prevent Canada Post from using franchising to take advantage of lower wage rates in the private sector — as long as it doesn’t infringe on “union successor rights.” Successor rights are provided by the Canada Labor Code to protect unions from changes in business ownership in ising is to improve service by opening new outletsd in locations more convenient for customers. The saving on operating costs, 70 per cent of revenues in union post offices compared with 13 per cent to 20 per cent in private outlets, “is simply too large to ignore,” he wrote. Union workers get $13.43 an hour, about twice what private urban postal outlets pay. Foisy said it would be wrong for Canada Post to close union offices solely to take advantage of lower private-sector operating costs. While Gaal more job security for CUPW em- ployees ing, Foisy said CUPW members ead get less. The union could give up existing protection against transfers of more than 40 kilometres and still have more job security than most Canadian workers, he noted. He recommended the union agree to changes in work rules allowing Canada Post to pay less overtime and make better use of part-time employees. But he said the company should convert part-time manual sorting jobs to full-time jobs where possible. Management has resisted doing so, despite using part-timers around the clock, because full-time employees are paid $4.11 an hour more, he noted. Rapes would increase TORONTO (CP) — Most Canadians feel any man would commit rape if he could be assured he would not be caught and punished, suggests a survey of 1,000 people who watched a television documentary on rapists In the survey, conducted by the CBC earlier this year, 79 per cent of males and 87 per cent of females questioned said men were “somewhat likely” or “very likely” to commit rape if they could escape punishment. And 76 per cent said prison for Stopped?, was produced by award-winning Canadian filmmaker John Zaritsky. It featured interviews with rapists during their treatment program, which included con- frontations with rape victims. The CBC, which conducted the random survey in February in conjunction with Prof. James Check, a York University psychology professor, said the survey is judged to be an accurate reflection of the views of anglophone rapists are too lenieut, with most favoring castration as a suitable punishment for a convicted rapist who rapes again Only 25 per cent of those surveyed felt treatment programs for convicted rapists could be effective in pre. venting them from raping again, while 48 per cent said they were either undecided or not sure about the value of the programs. “Having been raped myself, I feel that castration would be the answer for a person that is convicted more than once,” one respondent wrote. “Remove testicles with no anesthetic sentence,” recommended another.

But Michener also described castration as a misguided means of dealing with rape since it assumes men who rape do so for sexual reasons. In many cases, it is an act of violence, she said.

Association soccer games played here over the weekend. On Saturday the Burnaby squad shut out the Saints 4-0 in a league game while in a’Sunday exhibition game BCIT stopped the Saints 6-0. Saints coach Rob Johnson said his team has only been practising to- gether for two weeks and he ex- pects his squad's performance to improve in coming games. But he cautioned that defence is the one area the Saints have to work on. “There's a lot of talent on this team. The summer's inactivity is quite evident. I think our defence is what we're more concerned about right now. That would be our main area of concern right now,” Johnson « Selkirk Saints’ players look around for the ball during a game against BCIT in Saints shutoutintwo said in an interview Tuesday. The Saints have to win six games in order to qualify for playoff action and Johnson says “it’s tough to say right now” if the team will make the playoffs although he thinks the Saints have the capability of win- ning six games. “If things come together we'll be competitive. This is such a young season and a young team. We have to win six games to make the playoffs and I think we can do it,” said Johnson. Selkirk College athletic coordi- nator Preston Zeeben said that the league changed its from Totem to the B.C.

Rookie reliever David Wells ran his September record to 3-0 as the Blue Jays defeated the hapless Baltimore Orioles 8-4 Tuesday night. The victory, clinched with a five-run rally in the eighth inning, maintained Toronto's one-half game lead over the Detroit Tigers in the AL East. George Bell drove in the winning run for the second straight game, his major league-leading 130th RBI, in a rally capped by a two-run double by Ernie Whitt. The Orioles used five pitchers in the inning, one off the league r Rookie Jeff Ballard, 2-7, departed after walking leadoff batter Lloyd Moseby, and the parade to the mound was under way. Given. the’ 8-3 cushion in the eighth, Wells was able to finish and thus save the bullpen aces for the four- game series in Toronto against Detroit starting Thursday night. Wells, who was with the Blue Jays early in the season, now is 4-3. In his last six relief appearances, spanning 1113 innings, the 24-year-old left hander has allowed one earned run‘and fanned 19, IMPROVED SHOWING “Tve pitched more that I ex pected,” Wells said. “The first time I came up, I had two outings and I didn't look so hot. “In the back of my mind, I knew I was going to get another chance in September.” Since he came up after the Aug. 31 deadline, however, Wells can't be eligible for postseason play — except as a substitute for an injured pitcher. “If it happens, I'd like to get in there,” Wells said. “But I'm not going to jinx anybody, or wish anybody bad luck.” The Blue Jays, who have won three straight and 15 of 20, came from behind to hand the Orioles their 19th loss in 22 games. The Orioles, who trail 1-11 in the ‘season series, took a 2-0 lead in the first on a homer by Eddie Murray, which extended his hitting streak to 15 mes. The homer was only the third for Murray in 35 games, but it marked the fifth time he has reached the 30-homer plateau, a club record. A three-run homer by Juan Beni- quez, who also doubled home a run in the decisive eighth, put Toronto ahead 32 in the fourth. Beniquez is hitting .861 for Toronto since being acquired on July 14 from the Kansas City Royals, where he batted .236. The Orioles forged a 3-3 tie in the sixth and were prevented from going ahead when a fan interferred with Ray Knight's RBI double as left fielder Bell fell down. : Expos manage to slip by Pittsburgh | MONTREAL (CP) — Just when it seemed the Expos had dug their own grave, Pascual Perez provided them with a fresh breath of life. Perez scattered nine hits over eight innings “as Montreal snapped a two-game losing streak and defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-3 in National League baseball action Tuesday night. Tim Burke picked up his 15th save as the third-place Expos remained four games behind the first-place St. Louis Cardinals in the East Division. “We've come back from the dead again, and Perez did it for us,” said Expos manager Buck Rodgers. “I don't know whether to call him our good luck charm or our stopper.” Perez, 5-0, has been a little bit of both since he was recalled from the minors Aug. 19. Montreal has won all seven of his starts, and two more games in which he has appeared as a pinch-runner. His latest outing was far from his best, but it demonstrated how the club has responded with him in the lineup. The Expos were trailing 3-2 when Mitch Webster led off the eighth with a single against Pirates starter Mike Dunne. SCORES WEBSTER Webster went to second when Hubie Brooks singled off Jim Gott, 1-2, and scored on Tim Wallach’s base hit. Brooks went to third on Wallach’s hit and scored on the winning on an infield out by Andres Galarraga. “Perez has done a super job for us every time he's Webster, who entre Ot eR i St Mm “tt would have been a shame for him to lose the way he threw.” The Pirates had gone ahead in the top of the eighth when Andy Van Slyke hit a two-run homer, his 20th of the year. “That was only the second really erpenbr he soll Perez said. “But I still had confidence. “And I know’ the team plays well when I piteh.” A crowd of 16,407 saw both Perez and Dunne engage in a scoreless duel until the fourth when Tim Raines drew & two-out walk for Montreal.

Waslen bound for TORONTO (CP) — There are few jobs and so many applicants. Gerrard Waslen has been im- pressive during training camp and the folks back home in Humboldt, Sask., are rooting for him to become a Tor- onto Maple Leaf. But the odds are he'll be back on the farm again this season, with the Newmarket Saints of the American Hockey League. Not that the prospect of another season in the minors dampens the 24 year-old right winger’s desire, “I like playing hockey and I'm not ready to join the workforce yet,” he says. “I really want to play in Toronto. I've been thinking about that goal for a long time and working towards it. I'm going to keep playing as long as I'm still improving.” There are only two or three lineup openings with the Leafs.
