Each side also formally filed complaints with the National Labor Relations Board as they said they would. Tuesday was also the final day fans lined up at ticket windows around the nation to get back their money. players, the Council's committee continued to take a hard line, remaining adamant that it will not give up its control of the game by giving in to the players’ demand for free The council also formally announced that last week's missed games will not be made up. That will cost the 1,585 players anywhere from $60,000 for the highest-paid super- stars to $4,000 for minimum-salaried rookies. It was apparently money that is causing some of the league's bigger names to indicate they might be crossing the picket lines. Among the players mentioned in published reports were Danny White and Tony Dorsett of the Dallas Cowboys and Joe Montana and Dwight Clark of the San Francisco 49ers. No new negotiations were scheduled and none are planned until at least after this weekend's games, the first to be played by teams of castoffs, former members of the TIGERS BACK _IN RACE ds of ticket holders lined up at the New England box office, and although no official count was available, Patriots general manager Patrick Sullivan said his team appeared “to be leading the league right now” in refunded tickets. TAKES HARD LINE Upshaw was in Atlanta and Elizabeth, N.J. to meet with members of striking teams from the area. He took « hard line in both places. “We don't advocate violence, but we do advocate doing whatever's nécessary to stop these games, and we will do it,” Upshaw said after meeting with representatives of six teams in Atlanta. “We'll haunt those games.” Hugh Culverhouse, owner of the Tampa Bay Buc- caneers and chaii of the said after the meeting that the owners voted to allow any’ striking player who reports by the Friday before a game to be allowed to play that Sunday and be paid for the game. He also said the teams will be allowed a 55-player roster, with only 45 allowed to dress each Sunday. Published reports Tuesday night said White, the Cow- boys starting quarterback, is expected to cross the picket line today. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram and Dallas Time Herald quoted striking Cowboys as saying White stood up at a Monday meeting with the players and said his financial situation would force him to cross the line sometime this week. Dorsett said he received a letter from the club Tuesday informing him that his multi-million-dollar annuity would be in jeopardy if he doesn’t return to work. As for the refunds, Cleveland spokesman Bob Eller said about 10,500 of 78,000 tickets sold for the Browns’ Monday night game against Denver, one of those cancelled formally, had been returned. CBS and NBC have said they will televise their regular games Sunday, and ABC said it will broadcast next Monday night's game between the San Francisco 49ers and the New York Giants. The networks have not said whether they will televise any further games. Neale not looking September 90, 1987 Castlegar News os Talks s By STEVE MERTL Canadian Press VANCOUVER — The suspension of free-trade talks between Canada and the United States has refocused a long-standing dispute between B.C, Hydro and the Oregon- based Bonneville Power Administration. ‘The province had succeeded in having B.C. Hydro’s demand for assured access to Bonneville’s West Coast transmission lines placed on the bargaining table. But when the talks foundered last week it became clear the provincially-owned utility will likely have to negotiate its own guarantees if it wants to secure use of restricted Bonneville lines to sell surplus electricity to California. “Our primary competition (Bonneville) has been successful in erecting what are, in effect, non-tariff bar- riers,” says Stuart Culbertson, director of trade policy at the B.C. economic development ministry. The outcome of the dispute will be worth hundreds of millions of dollars and could determine the fate of a proposed $3-billion power project in northeastern B.C. The two organizations have a Jot in common.

Tanana pitched the Detroit Tigers to a 10-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles and right back into the American League East division race Tuesday night. Tanana, winless and 0-3 in his previous eight starts, threw a three-hitter over. eight innings and Bill Mad- lock and Chet Lemon hom: ered as the Tigers closed to within 1'/ games of the first- place Toronto Blue Jays in the AL East. The Blue Jays lost 5-3 to the Milwaukee Brewers. De- troit and Toronto close out the season with a three-game series this weekend in Tiger Stadium. Tanana picked up his first victory since Aug. 11. He struck out three and walked one in his eight-inning stint. “My problems were mech- anical,” Tanana said. “(Pitch- ing coach) Billy Muffett wanted me to flatten out my delivery. It took awhile for that to sink into my head. “Now, it helps my curve- ball, it helps my delivery, it helps my deception. When you throw as slow as I do, that's important.” In Tuesday's other AL games, it was: the Texas Rangers 7, the Minnesota Twins 5; the New York Yankees 6, the Boston Red Sox 0; the Chicago White Sox 1, the California Angels 0; the Kansas City Royals 6, the Seattle Mariners 3; and Oak- land Athletics 5, the Cleve- land Indians 4. The only run off Tanana came in the fifth, on Lee Lacy’s seventh home run. Madlock hit his 14th homer, a solo shot in the De- troit first. Lemon hit his 19th homer in the fourth, a three-run shot with Larry Herndon and Darrell Evans league record sixth grand slam home run of the season backed the four-hit pitching of Charles Hudson to lead New York past Boston.

Seattle starter Mark Langston, 18-13, had two of the errors but had eight strikeouts to raise his AL- leading total to 252 and erase his own club record of 245. 7 Twins 5 Pete O’Brien and Geno Pe- tralli homered in the eighth inning and Charlie Hough pitched a seven-hitter as Texas beat Minnesota.

The rookie first Fans boo O'Sullivan despite big victory HALIFAX (CP) — Shawn O'Sullivan messed with a Nova Scotia boxing hero Tuesday night and ended up losing. Despite winning. “This is the first time I've ever been booed,” said the hard-punching Toronto wel- terweight, moments after knocking ‘local boy Chris Clarke into retirement before 6,000 fans at the Halifax Forum. “This is the first time I've come up against a crowd that was not exactly Shawn O'Sul- livan fans.” The capacity crowd booed heartily when O'Sullivan —» the 1984 Olympic silver med- allist — climbed into the ring. Four minutes later it sat in stunned silence, its hero flat on his back after a brutal O'Sullivan right. “The unfortunate thing about this is that people will blame me for killing boxing in Halifax,” said O'Sullivan, who kayoed Clarke at 1:02 of the second round. “But box- ing wasn't established in one match and it certainly will never be destroyed in one match.” The win signalled an end to a sporting era in Halifax, which once touted itself as the boxing capital of Canada. The last legitimate draw left in the region, Clarke an- nounced his retirement in a packed, post-fight ring. “Boxing has been good to me and I've been good to boxing,” said the former Commonwealth and Canad- ian’y middleweight boxing dl ion. “I hope someone will come along and fill my shoes.” Clarke, who turns 31 next month and retires with a 29-4 record, was given little chance to beat O'Sullivan, who is six years his junior and a terrific puncher. But for one round, he gave his supporters hope by using a Murphy misses Canucks game VANCOUVER (CP) — Promising centre Rob Mur phy of Vancouver Canucks has returned home to attend the funeral of a former team exhibition game. Murphy left the Canucks on Monday after learning of the death of Mario Cote, 17, who died of a cerebral hem- orrhage Sunday while sitting on the bench during a midget division game at Hull, Que. Cote and Murphy, 18, were teammates during the 1985- 86 season with the Outauais Frontaliers in the Ottawa area before Murphy joined the Laval Titans last season in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. “We were very close,” Murphy said. “Mario lived two blocks from my house (in Aylmer, Que.). “I played hockey with him all the way through minor hockey and we'd golf to gether every summer.” stiff jab to keep O'Sullivan at bay. The shot was actually two punches — back-to-back rights that froze Clarke in his tracks and then dropped him to the canvas. He lay flat on his back for several minutes before he was revived. The victory was O'’Sulli- van's fifth straight since breaking his hand in a June 1986 loss to American Simon Brown. O'Sullivan said ques- tions about the injury now have been answered. Summit Lake stocked Summit Lake on Highway 6 near Nakusp was stocked last Thursday with 15,000 1", year old rainbow trout. The lake was “rehabilitated” in October 1986 with funds from the $3 surcharge on fishing licenses. Bob Lindsay, a fisheries biologist with the Ministry of Environment and Parks, said two different stocks of rain- bow — 7,500 Pennask and 7,500 Gerrard stock — were released in order to compare growth rates, survival of the two stocks and ultimately determine which stock is best suited to Summit Lake.

After getting fired twice in the space of six months in 1985 he says he is not keen on returning to the. National Hockey League. He admits the pink slips probably did little to enhance future prospects for him in the big leagues. “With 14 years of exper- ience in coaching and man- aging in pro hockey there ought to be a job for someone like me, but when you get fired twice in six months it doesn't look too good on a person's resume,” Neale said Tuesday while taking a break from his role as a guest coach with the Regina Pats of the Western Hockey League. Neale was fired 36 games into his first season as head coach of the Detroit Red Wings. That was in the dying days of 1986. Back in May of that year he was sacked as head coach and general man- ager of the Vancouver Can- ucks. “After being fired the second time you're not a threat to be hired,” said Neale, who also coached the New England Whalers and the Minnesota Fighting Saints in the World Hockey Association. “You're not a hot commodity. I suspect I'm off the most-wanted list.” When he donned the skates Tuesday and stepped onto the Agridome ice it was nostalgia time. It’s been almost two years since he did that. “It’s the first time I've been on skates since the day before I was fired in Detroit,” said Neale. , KJSS runner captures race Mario Fehrenberg of Kin- naird Junior secondary school captured a junior boys cross-country race last week. The race, the first of seven cross-country league races in preparation for the East and West Kootenay finals, was hosted by KJSS. In the senior boys race, Jason Shultz of J.L. Crowe came in first while the top Castlegar racer was Dan Jory of Stanley Humphries secondary school, who placed 12th. In the junior girls cate- gory, Amiee Chernoff of KJSS took first, while a second KJSS racer, Alena Terry, came in third. In the senior girls race, Carrie Shultz of J.L. Crowe took top spot. The top Castlegar finisher was Jen- nifer Small of SHSS, who came in second. The J.L. Crowe B team placed first, in the senior boys team race with the J.L.

(CP) — Bear biologists play a dangerous game when they search out the big carnivores to observe their natural activities. Sometimes they get too close. Biologist Wayne McCrory, a Slocan Valley resident, recalls once having to kill a charging grizzly. The thing he remembers most is the roar it made dying. “It made me feel awful to kill him,” said MeCrory. “It made me evaluate what I was doing and question if I wasn't pushing too hard.” For the last three years, McCrory and other leading grizzly biologists have been going to the glacial Khutzey- mateen Valley, 50 kilometres north of here, to study bears that have inhabited the dense rain forest for centuries. “The Khutzeymateen is a special place for bears,” says McCrory. “There are other places where you can find grizzlies on the coast, but this is the last of the best of the unlogged.” i estimate there are as many as 50 grizzlies in the narrow valley. Khutzey- mateen (pronounced koots-a- ma-teen) is an Indian word that literally translates into “a confined space of salmon and bears.” But there is also towering Sitka spruce — meaning that sooner or later the rugged valley may be logged, a move McCrory believes could have a serious impact on the bears. There are an estimated 6,000 to 8,000 grizzlies in Bri- tish Columbia. Hunter catches bubonic plague BOZEMAN, Mont. (AP) — A bow hunter apparently contracted bubonic plague from an antelope carcass and game officials said that they are trying to determine the extent of the disease in Mon- tana’s antelope population. The Centres for Disease Control in Fort Collins, Colo., confirmed blood samples from Greg Shouse, 20, car- ried the plague bacteria. Shouse, who was released from hospital last week, is believed to have contracted the plague bacteria while dressing an antelope he shot in the central part of the stale Sept. 17, health officials ari Wildlife and Park employees will hunt and attempt to kill two or three antelopes in the area this week, officials said. Tissue from the animals will be tested by the state's Veter- inary Diagnostic Laboratory. Shouse is the first re- corded case of bubonic plague in Montana, said state epi- demiologist Judth Gedrose, and he also is believed to be the first to contract the ill- ness from an antelope. He is the eighth person in the United States to have the plague this year, the CDC said. Two of those eight have died. “You hear the word plague Give the United Way.

Amnesty Intérnational said in 1986 at least 11 people were jailed under the law, all in secret trials. Another 30 were convicted of the less serious crime of anti-Soviet slander. Amnesty condemned the use of the death penalty which it said is known to have been carried out at least eight times in 1986 in the Soviet Union. The United States was ac- cused of holding at least 32 people on death row for murders carried out when they were younger than 18. China also made wide- spread use of the death pen- alty and local officials haven't shrunk from torture and kill politi¢al opponents. The Amnesty report com- plained of increasing reluc- tance by many countries to grant asylum to refugees. It said several Spaniards of Basque origin were returned to Spain despite their claims they were political refugees. Finland also returned Sov- fet citizens to their country after they tried to claim political asylum, the report said.
