While promoters talk confidently of up to 15 per cent of a possible 10 million U.S. households buying the fight, others predict they'll do only a fraction of “My personal opinion is the fight will do less Steve Rockabrand, director of marketing and pay-per-view for New York Times Cable, which did not buy the fight. “I think the retail price ($29.95) is way out of line for the subscriber for a fight that is not really a big event.” Cable operators and closed circuit promoters complain that sales are lagging because the fight has not been promoted properly. Unlike most major fights, the Leonard-Lalonde bout is being promoted by Leonard's lawyer, Mike Trainer, with some imput from Lalonde’s manager, Dave Wolfe. Their idea was to eliminate the middle man. “I think it desperately needs a promoter,” Joe Hand, a Philadelphia promoter who is showing the fight in 20 closed-circuit locations in four states. “Something has to be done or it could be a financial bloodbath as far as I'm concerned.” Hand said having the fight up against a Monday night football game between Houston and Cleveland has hurt sales. Lalonde-Leonard bout ‘big yawn’ LAS VEGAS (AP) — For an event that was supposed to rival the Mike Tyson-Michael Spinks heavyweight title fight,\next month's Sugar Ray Leonard-Donny Lalonde bout is struggling hard to and coming the day before the presidential election The fight also follows by only three days a similar pay-per-view fight card by promoter Bob Arum from the Las Vegas Hilton that features two world title fights — return from including one featuring Matthew Hilton of Montreal — along with a Thomas Hearns fight for a $19.95 price tag. Even an eight-city tour by Leonard and Lalonde and a string of national television appearances by 168-pound title. Leonard failed to generate excitement for the bout, which will be for Lalonde's World Boxing Courcil light heavyweight title and the WBC’s newly created With just over two weeks before fight night, ticket sales hadn't even reached the 10,000 mark for the 15,200-seat outdoor stadium at Caesars Palace, although all $1,000 ringside seats and all of the lowest-priced $200 seats are sold out. The stadium is priced to gross $8.6 million if the fight is a sellout. Those sales don't compare, however, to the April 1987 fight between Leonard and Marvelous Marvin Hagler, which sold out within 16 days. Still, Trainer professes not to be worried about before the fight. said million homes. the fight’s chances of success, claiming interest in the bout will pick up in the final two weeks and pay-per-view cable sales will be big in the final days “I couldn't be happier, the way it’s geared, it is going to be big,” Trainer said. “Things will heat up the closer you get to the fight itself.” Also claiming to be happy is Titan Entertain- ment Inc., which is distributing the fight to some 800 cable systems with the potential of reaching 10 Titan is doing a boxing show for the first time after scoring big with pay-per-view wrestling events such as Wrestlemania and Summer Slam. castor cammus Box 1200.

The government expects to pay $37 million on registration, $24 million on taking votes, $14 million on fees and allowances, $17 million on election headquarters across the country and $20 million in reim. bursements to candidates and part les. Tony Naccarato, the Kootenay West-Revelstoke returning officer based in Trail, says he hasn't tallied up all the expenses for this riding yet and doesn't know how much it will cost this riding for the federal election procedure. “I can't make any predictions at the moment,” he told the Castlegar News Friday. “I wouldn't want to do that at this time.” Nacearato said that while all the election materials, including forms, ballot boxes and enumerators kits, are supplied by Elections Canada, he has to keep track of other expenses in his riding. From his riding budget he will pay for renting office space in Nelson, Trail and Castlegar and will also pay for all the office equipment, As well, he is keeping track of the funds he is paying enumerators, polling clerks and returning officers. Enumerators receive 56 cents a name for the first 200 names they sign up. For every name after the first 200, the enumerators receive 84 cents a name. They also receive seven cents a name for typing them down on a list, $21 for attending the enumerator’s course and an addit- ional $21 for transportation and inci- dental costs. Deputy returning officers will receive $125 for working election day and poll clerks will receive $91. Naccarato's office will also be keeping track of all the bills incurred for leasing space at polling stations across the riding. Court dismisses Green's challenge TORONTO (CP) — Ontario's Sup- reme Court dismissed a motion by the Green party to stop next week's televised debates between the lead- ers of the three major parties. The Greens wanted the debates cancelled unless their leader, Sey- mour Trieger, could: participate, or the environmental party was given equal opportunity to air its views. “The public interest would not be served by denying the public their right to hear the debate,” ruled Mr. Justice Archibald Campbell. FREE-TRADE AGREEMENT _ “The order sought would interfere ly with the itutional freedom of the broadcast media, The right to speak does not necessarily carry with it the right to make someone else listen or the right to make someone else carry one's message to the public.” The Green's lawyers had charged the party's constitutional rights to freedom of expression, association and equal treatment under the law were violated by being excluded from the debates. Rotering rejects deal Free trade may be an ideal upheld by Nelson Mayor Gerald Rotering, but that doesn’t mean he endorses the deal currently before the elec. torate. Conservative incumbent candidate Bob Brisco has been selling the free- trade agreement in part by saying the Nelson mayor endorses the deal — but Rotering objects. “I support an evolution toward free trade with the United States, and. with every other country, in the world,” Rotering said in a prepared statement. “That doesn't mean I've endorsed what Mulroney's team has negotiated. Many questions remain to be answered, and Canada’s independence and social support systems are paramount in that con sideration.” Rotering said that he recognizes the evolution toward an international economy, as noted by leading econo- mists. Canada and B.C. — including rural communities — must move with that change and adapt in order to prosper. He cited the Canadian International College for Japanese students as a prime example of the trend. “Less protectionism and free acc- ess to each others’ markets are the key to future prosperity,” Mayor Rotering emphasized. “I’m on record as supporting those goals. But I can’t, don’t and won't endorse a free-trade agreement that has yet to be proved as the way to accomplish what Canada needs. Perhaps Mr. Brisco could sell the agreement based on its merits, rather than on my non existant endorsation.” Rotering, elected Nelson's mayor in the fall of 1985, is a New Democratic Party member who worked as executive assistant to NDP Member of: Parliament Lyle Kristiansen 1980-1984. GERALD ROTERING . No support Chretien spurns offer MONTREAL (CP) — Former cabinet minister Jean Chretien has turned down an offer to lead the Liberals, even if top party strategists succeed in ousting Leader John Turner, the Montreal News reported Saturday. “He (Chretien) turned it down because it's not his agenda, the candidates are not his choices, the party has no money and he doesn't want to destroy himself,” the news. paper said, quoting an anonymous source. The newspaper said Liberal strat egists believed Turner could be per. suaded to resign if given a list of party candidates who would with. draw from the campaign if he stayed on. The list has not been compiled, the newspaper added. The Liberal conspirators were still trying Friday to get Chretien to change his mind, “but Chretien said he would have nothing to do with it,” the report said, adding that Shefford MP Jean Lapierre is one of the key players in the newest oust-Turner movement. Lapierre denied the report “I didn’t support Chretien (for the Liberal leadership) in 1984, in 1986 (Turner's leadership review) or in 1987," Lapierre said in an interview Friday. Lapierre, who was closely ident ified with a caucus revolt against Turner last spring, denied he has Two-Gallon PAILS ONLY $1.50 EACH Heavy duty all-purpose plastic pails with § Tight-litting covers and handles cleaning. $1.50 each CASTLEGAR NEWS 197 Columbia Ave., Castlegar been in touch with Chretien. “I'd be the last person to have his phone number. I haven't spoken to him in three years.” Earlier, the CBC reported that four top Liberal strategists — Sen ators Michel Kirby and Al Graham, MPAndre Ouellet and campaign director John Webster met to discuss the state of the Liberal campaign, the party's difficulty finding candidates and the impact of an immediate change in leadership. All four strongly deny the meet ing, which they described as a regular part of routine planning for the campaign for the Nov. 21 election, had anything to do with an attempt to oust Turner. The report said the conspiracy ended when Turner made it clear he wouldn't step down. - Canucks.

Both stated their strong. support for Kristiansen and their appreciation for his many years of hard work for people in the riding. Kristiansen’s speech during the opening focussed primarily on the dangers of the free-trade agreement. “Now is the time for good Can. adians to come to the aid of their country while we still have a country to save” he said’ in a pre- pared release. “For the past six months, I have been knocking on doors throughout the riding: Every where I have been, people of all political parties in overwhelming numbers have been telling me that (Prime Minister) Mulroney's trade deal is bad for Canada; that they see no real benefit to Canada in it and that the deal makes them feel uneasy.” Kristiansen also said he found many in the riding “disappointed” by what they regard as dishonesty and a lack of openness by the Mulroney government. “Prior to his mandate in 1984, Brian Mulroney stated emphatically that ‘free trade would be a disaster for Canada’ and he would have ‘none of it — hot now or at any other time’,” Kristiansen said. Kristiansen added that now is the time “for Canadians who care to put their traditional allegiances aside and vote for whatever candidate is best able to defeat the deal and its supporters.” * Feed Your Family Better & Save Up to 30% on Groceries * Gain Control Over Your Diet | ‘T LAURA WILLIAMS Fully qualified nutrionist with a degree in Nutrition and Biochemistry from the University of Toronto.
