In a field just west of the southern Alberta community of Okotoks, an ABC tele- vision crew was tracking the behavior of cows for a U.S. audience that will total tens of millions next February during the 1988 Winter Olympics. The cow, about to be fed oats from the truck along with the rest of the herd, looked bored. But it was anything but dull for the New York television crew aiming a camera as it drank lunch from its mother. “T've never seen that,” said production assistant Erica Churgin. Her proximity to New Jer- sey farms did not prepare her for putting naked nipples on commercial TV, even when they belong to a Hereford. “Can we use that?” Chur- gin asked the other crew members. If they make it past final editing, the previously un- known cows will be co-stars in one of numerous short TV features being made to be broadcast by ABC during the Games next February. ABC spent a day video taping the occupants — four- legged and two-legged — of a couple of southern Alberta ranches. One of the spreads has its With this ad, you can When they stay in 2 rooms for the price of Privacy of two rooms for the regular price of one — Just $80* a night.

Cross, a founder of the Calgary Stampede. “We want to show the history of ranching in Al- berta and show how impor- tant it was to the devel- opment of the province,” said field director Emilie Deutsch. A lot of research and plan- ning have gone into the Cal- gary-area features. The piece done at the A7 and Bar Pipe ranches represents more than two days of research, besides a day of taping. Deutsch consulted local historian Hugh Dempsey and pored over several books on ranching, just to ensure the piece is accurate, tight and entertaining. Other ABC re- searchers also came up with story ideas. The network will do about 75 profiles of Olympic ath letes that will be put to gether by a 14-member pro- duction team.

Summer Games in Delta over the weekend as he captured three gold medals in swimming. Junker picked up a gold in the 50 metre freestyle, one in the 100 metre individual medley and another in the 100 metre breaststroke. In other swimming results from Sunday, the Kootenay region placed first in the men's: four-by-60-metre freestyle relay. Aquanauts capture meet By DEANNA PICCO Despite being limited to one day, the annual Castlegar Aquanauts Swim Meet was an exciting action packed event. Seventy of the over 100 possible Aquanauts werre present making ‘it the largest contingent at a meet so far this season. With many of the older swimmers at the B.C. Summer Games in Delta the team relied heavily on the younger swimmers to win the meet. Head coach, Ray Yule felt that his swimmers made excellent improvements in stroke technique and racing skills. Competition was keen with the Aquanauts capturing first place with 5387 points followed by Nelson with 308 and Trail a close third with 302. Colville did well earning 185 with Beaver Valley taking 167. Robson re- ceived 142, Kimberley 80, Creston 41, Greenwood 30, Penticton 29, Kelowna 20 and North Delta 14. That last two team's points came from former Aquanaut Steve Cundy (Kelowna) and Robyn Craven (North - Delta). It was great to have these two fine swimmers as well as our own Wendy Pilla at the meet. There were four little Aquanauts who broke into the circuit this weekend attending their first meet. In Novice Division Brian John, Ryan Biller and Jeffery Hardy and in Division II Kathy John. The team was proud of the following swimmers who picked up 16 aggre- gates for the club.

Cost is one of the major stumbling blocks in scrambling signals, CFL commissioner Doug Mitchell told members of the media, who waited more than 90 minutes for him to attend a late afternoon news conference. Original estimates said scrambling equipment would cost $25,000. “We're satisfied now we might be able to do it for one-tenth the cost of that,” said Mitchell, speaking under the glare of TV lights at a table dragged into the middle of a hotel mezzanine. “I don't think it’s feasible immediately, but toward the end of the season it could be done.” Only games shown on the Canadian Football Network, which is carried on a ion of ii it stations and operated by the CFL, would be scrambled. Games shown on the CBC could still be pirated. Winnipeg Blue Bomber general manager Cal Murphy is adamant the signals be scrambled. He failed last Friday in an attempt to have the Bombers’ game in Winnipeg against the Edmonton Eskimos scrambled. “When it was announced publicly it won't happen, as far as the scrambling was concerned, I think we sold 1,145 tickets the rest of the day,” Murphy said. STAYED AWAY The game drew 29,260 fans on an ideal summer night, 3,686 below capacity at 32,946-seat Winnipeg Stadium. The collapse of the Montreal Alouettes, leaving the league with eight teams, prompted the governors to begin thinking about starting the season July 15 or later and giving up weekend games during the summer months. “We talked about playing games based on Tuesday to Thursday, moving away from a weekend schedule,” said Mitchell, a Calgary lawyer and former British Columbia Lion. The teams would play 18 consecutive games without the byes in the current schedule. Weekend games would be played after the Labor Day weekend. Ottawa Rough Rider general manager Paul Roson said the lure of nearby lakes is strong in the summer and a shift in games could improve attendance at Rough Rider games. A final decision on scheduling will be made later. Mitchell said each of the governors gave a financial update and the teams appear healthy, even the Calgary Stampeders. Winless in five games, the Stampeders recently dipped into a line of credit to help pay bills. Sutcliffe silences Expos CHICAGO (AP) — Rick Sutcliffe might be the winningest pitcher in the National League and on the way to another Cy Young award, but he isn't totally happy with his work. “It wasn't pretty, was it?” Sutcliffe said Tuesday after increasing his rec- ord to 15-4 with an 8-3 victory over the Expos that broke Montreal's three- game winning streak. “It seemed every time we scored a run, I gave one back. Maybe that's why (manager) Gene (Michael) decided to bring Smitty (reliever Lee Smith) in. “It's a good thing I had that change-up and the guys made some good plays behind me.” Smith blanked the Expos the last two innings on one hit to earn his 26th save and Leon Durham iced the outcome with a three-run home in the eighth inning. But the Cubs won it in the seventh when they scored twice to break a 3-3 tie by taking advantage of some misplays by catcher Jeff Reed, who was charged with three errors in the inning to tie a major-league record. Andy Seminick of Philadelphia was the last catcher to make three errors in one inning back in 1952. Reed dropped a pop fly for an error with Durham at bat. Durham struck out. But Ryne Sandberg, who had singled, stole second and continued to third on Reed's throwing error. Andre Dawson blooped a single to centre to score Sandberg. Jerry Mum- phrey walked and Dawson took third ona fly ball before scoring on an errant pickup throw by Reed. “We didn’t play very well at all,” Montreal! manager Buck Rodgers. don't beat ourselves very often but we didn't play well today. They gave us one run but we gave them two or three.” Durham's homer was his 17th and gave him 37 runs batted in. Durham, who has been criticized for lack of production, has been the subject of trade rumors. “T'm not going to let that trade talk bother me,” he said. “I'm just going to reach down for a little more. If I'm traded, at least I'll know somebody else wants me and Ill stay in the major leagues.” Sutcliffe, sniffling because of a cold, gave up an unearned in the second ona single by Andres Galarraga, an error and a single by Reed. gold in the singles class A trapshooting event. In baseball action Nelson suffered two losses, 13-6 at the hands of Delta and then a 5-1 loss to Terrace.

By SURJ RATTAN Staff Writer A former Castlegar Aquanaut came up with an impressive show- ing at the Canadian Nationals swim meet in Calgary last week and is confident she'll be competing in the 1988 Summer Olympics. Wendy Pilla, 17, was one of 700 swimmers from across the country who turned out for the Canadian Nationals. She placed 36th in the 50 metre freestyle with a time of 28:29 and now qualifies for the Winter Nationals and the Olympic trials in 1988. Pilla said the competition was tough in Calgary, but “it was any- body’s race” because each of the was only of a second behind the next swim- mer. She'll be returning to the pool in August for 11 months of training before attending the Olympic trials. Pilla added that she will train in Hawaii, while the Winter Nationals will probably be held in Montreal. “With 11 months of training I feel I have a good chance,” Pilla told the Castlegar News today. “Taking a second off is not that much.” WENDY PiiiA . +. off to Olympic trials Pilla has been swimming with the Castlegar Aquanauts for five sum- mers and now swims with a winter swim club, the Vernon Kokanees, where she lives with her coach and his family. She began swimming when she was 11 and started swimming com- petitively at the age of 14. Red Sox go down to defeat by Jays By NEIL DAVIDSON TORONTO (CP) — Reliever Tom Henke lost a hot dog eating contest in the afternoon, but it was the Boston bullpen that couldn't cut the mustard Tuesday night. Henke, who along with a team of Blue Jay teammates lost the charity gourmet challenge to a crew from the CFL's Toronto Argonauts, combined with relievers Mark Eichhorn and Jeff Musselman to serve up 82-3 innings of shutout relief as Toronto edged the Red Sox 5-4. The victory, before 36,122 fans at Exhibition Stadium, was the Jays’ third straight and kept them a half game behind Detroit and one behind the New York Yankees in the race for first place in the American League East. While the Toronto bullpen blanked Boston, Jesse Barfield provided the game-winning hit with an RBI single with two outs in the eighth. “Their bullpen did a job for them and ours didn't come through,” said Red Sox manager John McNamara. Tied 4-4 in the eighth, Boston reliever Joe Sambito walked Lloyd Moseby to open the winning. Pinch- hitter Charlie Moore then sacrificed Moseby to second. George Bell received an intentional walk before pinch-hitter Juan Beniquez struck out, setting the stage for Bar. field's single to left. Musselman, who gave up one hit in 11-3 innings, earned the win for the second night in a row to improve his record to 94. GETS 23RD SAVE Henke, who needed just five pitches to snuff out Boston in the ninth, collected his 23rd save the second in as many nights. The save was Henke's club-record 10th in July. Henke now has recorded saves in his last five outings and 10 of his last 11, in addition to holding opponents scoreless in 11 of his last 14 outings. Just prior to that string, the big right-hander had given up runs in five of six appearances lost three ames and posted an earned-run average of 10.09 in a stretch of 10.2 innings. Henke said his arm just felt dead prior to the all-star break. “My arm wasn't burting or nothing. You just feel like you don't have anything on your ball.” Sambito, who slipped to 1-3 after working just a third of an inning, blamed the loss on the Red Sox's inability to handle Moore's bunt in the eighth. “I knew it was going to be a bunt and unless it’s a rocket back to me, they are generally successful,” he said. “But I think we could have got him (Moseby). But when the ball hit the ground, they (the infielders) yelled one (first base).” So Sambito went to first base, catch- ing Moore but allowing Moseby to get into scoring position. CREATES PROBLEM “But I created the problem by walk. ing the batter,” Sambito added. “It was my fault.” With the exception of Barfield's RBI single in the eighth, the rest of the scoring all came in the first three innings. The Red Sox scored three in the second and one in the third. Toronto got two back in the second on Fred McGriff's 440-foot blast over the centre-field fence. George Bell, notching his 82nd and 83rd RBIs, tied the game at 4-4 in the third with a two-run single. The RBIs allowed Bell to regain the AL lead in that category from Oakland rookie Mark McGwire. Boston centre-fielder Ellis Burks singled in the third to extend his hit- ting streak to eight games and 17 of the last 18.
