Former Castlegar Rebel
Darcy Martini scored a hat-
trick Friday to help lead the
Vernon Lakers to a 7-1 win
over the Buckaroos in Sum-
merland, in B.C. Junior Hoc
key League action.

Delta Flyers coach Rick
Hopper says he has good
reason to downplay his
B.C.J.H.L. club's _record-
tying, 14-game winning
streak. It is only October.

“It’s not really important

.” Hopper said Friday

is club downed the
Kelowna Packers 7-2 to move
to 14-0 and tie the Langley
Eagles mark set in 1983-84.
“We're enjoying it but we
don't win championships in
the first half of the season.”

Hopper, a 32-year-old na-
tive of Thornhill, Ont., who
coached for several seasons
in the Ontario Colleges Ath-
letic Association, said he re-
cruited ‘high character’
players in the summer, add-
ing that they have adapted
well to his system.

Jeff Nottingham led the
attack against the Packers,
scoring twice and assisting
on two others. Brian Bet:

MacDonald, Shane Henry
and Scott Frizzell also scored
for the Flyers.

By CasNews Staff

Former Castlegar Rebel
forward Kelly Hurd has
been signed to play for the
Michigan Technological
University hockey team of
the Western Collegiate
Hockey Association. The
team is based in Houghton,
Michigan.

Hurd, a right winger,
played the last two seasons
with the Kelowna Packers

of the B.C. Junior Hockey
League.

Michigan coach Herb
Boxer said he is pleased
with Hurd’s performance
so far.

“It's always tough for a
freshman to come in and
play right away in the
WCHA but we've been
very happy with Kelly's
progress and he will likely
play some for us this year,”
said Boxer.

Royals beat Blazers

CRANBROOK, B.C. (CP)
— Aaron Armstrong stored
four goals Friday to lead the
Cranbrook Royals to a 96
win over the Elk Valley
Blazers in the opening game
of the Western International
Hockey League season.

Brent Demerais scored
twice for the Royals, who
scored five times on the
power play and broke open a
4-4 game with five goals in

the final period.

Terry Allison, Wayne Mac
Farlane and Mark Selva also
scored for the winners. Troy
Travis and John Hart each
scored twice for the Blazers,
while John Bunn and Kevin
Mitchell added singles.

NFL PLAYERS
MISJUDGED |
MANAGEMENT

By The Associated Press
When National Football League players wonder why
they lost an average of $60,000 US a man while gaining
nothing during the strike, they can point fingers in a lot of
directions.

But the union remains the primary cul;

Not only did the NFL Players Association on miajudge
the resolve of management to stonewall, the owners’
ability to be reba teams, the television ——

of its own
gave snail on totoaniy had public image.

“They were smarter and more prej than we

ere,” Rocky Klever of the New York Jets said of
management. “They beat us to the punch on everything
we tried.

“If anything, there's animosity to the union for not
being as well prepared. We were up against 28 business-
men. We didn't have any.”

There are endless examples of bunker mentality by
union officials who could not see beyond the bureaucratic
tunnel they dug for themselves.

STOP WHINING

When player reps complained they éouldn't hold
their members in line, they were told to stop whining and
work harder. When the players told the union they were
confused about issues, they were told the same.

Until Doug Allen, the union's assistant executive di-
rector, took over public relations functions late in the
strike, the press was often treated like agents of the
owners, although many reporters had no reason to be
hostile to the players.

How removed from reality was the union? One
incident tells a lot.

It occurred at a hotel near Chicago's O'Hare Airport
at the desperate player rep meeting designed to keep the
troops on the picket line of what turned out to be the final
Monday of the strike.

About two hours into the meeting, Frank Woschitz,
head of public relations for the union, announced a press
conference by Charles O'Brien, a Teamsters union official
who would discuss the “union-busting tactics” of manage-
ment negotiator Jack Donlan.

The briefing had no news value except that the
speaker's name rang a bell with reporters.

The Castlegar Senior's
Curling Club will operate
with a new format this year.
In the previous 12 years of
the club's history each rink
played against all the other
rinks in ture.

This worked well while
there were fewer rinks but as
the membership grew, it
began to be rather mono-
tonous. Last year there were
20 rinks so the rinks re-
mained the same for 19
games.

This year the rinks will be
picked every four weeks so a
member will only play eight
games before changing rinks.
It is hoped that this system
will mix the players more to
create a real “esprit de club.”

THE POSTMAN
BRINGS WORD
FROM ECUADOR

I was feeling harried, hassled and put-upon
yesterday and was muttering darkly in my beard. It had
been one of those special weeks. Then the postie brought
the familiar airmail letter with the Ecuadorian stamps —
a letter from my missionary friend John Munday. I
skimmed through it and straightened up with a jolt, my
perspective readjusted. Troubles he has in “abundance
(little wonder hé gets déep depressions), but it’ is
balanced with a deep faith, remarkable courage and
optimism, and the everpresent spark of humor.
Christmas is little more than two months off and I'm sure
that a card or letter of encouragement, Would mean a
great deal. Try it.

Now the first part of his letter.

Quite, Ecuador, 8.A.,

Sept. 8, 1987.

The long summer vacation is almost history. It began
with the arrival of 37 young people from Teen Mission.
For the third consecutive year I'm convinced they send us
the cream of the crop of the almost 2,000 teenagers sent
out each year to countries throughout the world. Because
of Teen Mission projects last year and the year before,
there was no need for them to bring tents. In six weeks,
this year’s team built a spacious carpentry shop just
beyond the soccer field, a classroom for the “special”
children unable to cope with formal education, a
good-sized garbage pit, as well as a wide variety of
smaller projects, built, fixed, painted, cleaned up or put
together.

Despite their tight schedule of early rising, personal
devotions, Bible memorization and hard, hard work, they
still had enough time to do some sighi shopping
and relaxing. They also co-operated enthusiastically in
the church services and Sunday school here, visited other
similar groups, made friends with all our Diospaj Nan
family and left us in a flood of tears (theirs and ours).

We've already signed up for another group next
year, and while most of them would like to return, it’s
unlikely we'll be given the same young people two years
in a row. Each financed his own flight and contributed
both towards his upkeep and the materials used in
construction.

‘The seventh week of their stay was dedicated to “de-
brief” a concentrated preparation for their return home.
They were also joined by 31 young people who had spent
their six weeks in Peru. Teen Mission staff members,
Forest and Danetta, good friends from last year's
“de-brief,” flew down for the occasion and effectively
concluded Teen Mission's ministry to Ecuador and Peru
for 1987. There was a grand banquet the very last night
in the Equinoccio Restaurant at the Line of the Equator,
then next day, two buses and two trucks drove them all
to the airport for the Miami-bound plane.

five-month English course at Azusa Pacific University in

gifts for the family and all the clothing he possessed. He
also brought with him a Sony radio and tape recorder
that he'd recently acquired.

After welcoming him at the airport I arranged to see
him later in the day while he visited with his family in
Quinto and I stopped off at the Ecuatoriana office to
confirm flights for Teen Mission. When I got back to the
car I made the heart-stopping discovery that someone
had forced the locks and made off with Victor's suitcase
and radio. I felt totally (almost) responsible, moreover,
much of the stuff was irreplaceable. But to my relief
Victor took the theft and the loss a lot better than I did.

Last Friday was our big shopping day in town as we
prepared him for his freshman year at Azusa. He is now
the owner of a brand new leather suitcase and a brand
new wardrobe that — his first (navy-blue) dress

Fortunately, a friend i in the U.S. had given him his
return fare to Quito, so that has already been taken care
of. Despite his excellent marks in English, he is at times
overwhelmed at the thought of complete submersion into
English for all his first year university courses, but I have
no doubt he'll continue to do well. For financial reasons,
more than anything else, he will likely not be returning
“home” for at least two years. He will also be working
part-time.

He has postponed his flight north until next Tuesday
to make sure his nephew, 17-year-old Gustavo, is
definitely on the road to recovery. Gustavo had to spend
five days in a downtown ¢linic in order to prevent a
severe skin infection from entering the blood-stream. The
