IRESID Castlegar PN moat By SCOTT WHITE DETROIT — The Toronto Blue Jays — who just a week ago seemed destined to win their. second American League East title in three years — continued their late-season spinout Saturday, losing 3-2 in 12 innings to Detroit and giving up first-place to the surging Tigers. Alan Trammell, in a battle with Toronto's George Bell for the most valuable player award in the American League, hit a bases-loaded single through the legs of shortstop Manny Lee with one out in the bottom of 12th to give Detroit its third win in a row. By losing its sixth consecutive game, Toronto is ‘now in the untenable position of having to win this afternoon's final game of the regular season to force a one-game playoff for the title against the Tigers on Monday. The Tigers — back in first place for the first time since Sept. 20 — have a one-game Jead over Toronto and can win the division with a victory today, which would be the second AL East title in four seasons for the 1964 world champions. | R YOUR MONEY. Trammell’s game-winner came after reliever Jeff Musselman, 12-5, allowed two singles and a walk after retiring the first Detroit batter in the 12th. Musselman was replaced by Mark Eichhorn, whose pitch to Trammell could have resulted in an out at the plate had Lee come up with the ball. But the official scorer called the hard shot a single and the Tigers celebrated wildly as pinch runner Jim Walde- wander crossed the plate with the winning run. Mike Henneman, 11-3, got the win in relief. Neither. starting pitcher was around by the time the game was decided, but both pitched well enough to win the game. i Toronto starter Mike Flanagan, the veteran left-hander picked up from the Baltimore Orioles on Aug. 31, went 11 innings, giving up eight hits and striking out nine. Jack Morris started for the Tigers and gave up eight hits over nine innings. The Blue Jays started aggressively, when leadoff hitter Nelson Liriano had a single and a stolen base, then \weat to third on Lloyd Moseby's single. Liriano scored on a,sacrifice fly by Rance Mulliniks. That lead held up only until the third inning, when Detroit catcher Mike Heath doubled to right-centre field, then scored when designated hitter Bill Madlock doubled down the left-field line. BREAKS SLUMP Toronto regained thé lead in the fifth when Liriano, hitless in 18 at-bats before Saturday's game, éame through with an RBI-single that scored Lee, who had doubled to left-centre field. Lee gave Detroit back the run in the bottom of the inning, when he threw Tom Brooken's routine grounder into the Toronto dugout behind first base. Heath followed with his second double of the game to tie the score 2-2. The Jays had another golden opportunity in the sixth when they loaded the bases with two outs, but rookie catcher Greg Myers — forced to start his second major league game because of Ernie Whitt's cracked ribs — hit a Blue Jays must win today — or else soft line drive to Tiger first baseman Darrell Evans to end the inning. An inning later, the Jays had runners on first and second with two out when Bell, who had only oné hit in his previous 21 at-bats, hit an easy ground ball to third to stop “ the threat, Toronto stranded two more in the eighth when Lee hit a line drive out to left field with pinch runner Lou Thornton on third and Willie Upshaw on first. KEY STARTS The Blue Jays will be to their winningest pitcher — Jimmy Key, 17-7, with a league-leading 2.81 tame the has won nine of his games at Tiger Stadium. The game is scheduled to start at 3 p.m. EDT and will be televised on the CTV network. It was just a week ago that the world seemed rosy for the Blue Jays. They had won three in a row from the Tigers ‘and held a 3 1-2 game lead over Detroit. Good Luck We're Sure Your Fine Menu, Hospitality and ideas will be Welcomed by the Friendly People in Castlegar!

Not too long ago it used to house a sporting goods shop, but the store has since packed its belongings and moved to another location. These days a lot of young people can be seen going in and out of the building, sandwiched between the Castlegar News office and the Castle Theatre. Although the sporting goods shop has moved, the old building has become home to a new sports group: Cougar Athletic Association. It would be safe to say that not everyone in Castlegar is aware that this group even exists — let along what it does. The Cougar Athletic Association is the pet project of a man named Tony Costa. When he's not working at his job out at the Westar Timber’s Southern Wood Products sawmill, Costa_canbe fowed banging around that old building on Columbia doing what he likes best — helping Castlegar’s youth have a chance at playing sports. Costa — who has eight children of his own involved in sports ranging from hockey to volleyball to soccer — says he wanted to create an organization that by raising money would afford to support all kinds of sporting activities. He feels a young person should not be deprived of a chance to play sports just because the money is not there. Sitting at a steel desk in a small office in the Cougar's building, Costa explains how the association got its financial start in life. “I registered 22 kids for soccer and I had collected $15 each from them, Then I opened up the place.” But that initial $330 was far from enough to keep the outfit going. Costa knew he needed a lot more money if the Cougar’s Association was to survive, so he resorted to a fundraising method that people worldwide have been using for years. He panhandled. "I stopped people in the streets to ask them for donations. They gave me some donations.” What he collected was hardly enough to even begin to set up a permanent base for the association. So he went and borrowed $7,000 from the bank, some of that money he borrowed in his own name and some of it he borrowed under the Cougar Athletic Association's name. In order for people to start enjoying the athletic centre, it had to be remodeled and that’s what most of the $7,000 was used for. Had Costa hired a construction firm to do the remodeling, the price tag for the job would probably have been much higher than $7,000. But the Castlegar Stars of the Kootenay Soccer League came to Costa's aid and pitched in with the construction work free of charge. But Costa still needed more money to run the association, so he decided to install a few arcade games in a bid to raise added capital. “I thought to myself, Tony how can you raise more money? I put in seven video games to raise cash. It helped a lot but after a while I decided it wasn't a good idea because a sports place is not a pool hall. Too many kids cut school so I got rid of the video games,” said Costa. With no more revenue coming in from the arcade games, Costa was strapped for another way to raise cash — and he still had to pay the bank ‘back the $7,000. “I thought to myself that we can't raise enough money to keep going. I have to pay back the loan. I sit on the front steps and cry to myself, ‘How.am I going to find the money ‘to pay back the loan?’ ” Costa is still looking for money to keep the athletic association open and he is now hoping local Castlegar businesses will lend him a hand. “I will be meeting with the chamber of commerce people and maybe the downtown business people can help close its 6 = Cashews Phote by Suri Renton us because we can make some business for them,” explains Costa. An investment in the old building would certainly be of benefit to most people — but especially to the group that Costa has been putting most of his time and effort into helping — Castlegar’s young people. As Costa explains, the Cougar Athletic Association has a lot to offer. “The place is for any person who wants to help and enjoy sports. We have boxing, archery, soccer, volleyball, hiking and all kinds of other sports.” From a sporting goods store to an athletic associa- tion, Costa is hoping that old wooden building on Columbia Ave. will continue to house a sports-related outfit.

Congratulations TO THE GRABENHOFS ON YOUR NEW FINE DINING BUSINESS ENDEAVOUR! Ne MUME Looe sureuiers They're laying down the law in the game golf. The days of heading out to the local green on a sunny day for a friendly round of golf with your doctor or lawyer friend are over. Golfing has become serious bus: iness, very serious. Enjoy the relaxed rules while you can because come Jan. 1, 1988 new golfing laws will come into effect, and if you break those laws, the dreaded golf- ing police will be around to put you back in line. Two major golfing associations have announced new rules that will affect how the game is played after the first of the year. The Royal and Ancient Golf Club and the United States Golf Associa- tion, have agreed to the changes — among 14 announced at the R and arters in St. Andrews, Scotland: Under the changes,” the rule headed, Dropping Ball Behind Con- dition, is amended so that the ball must be dropped at a point that keeps the original spot where it landed or crossed the margin of the hazard between the hole and the new position of play. Picky, picky, picky! This rule is going to have a major effect on some of my friends who play golf. These guys are happy just to be able to hit the ball in the basic direction of the hole without having the ball smash someone's ear windshield in the parking lot! And then there's the new rule called Safety. This rule warns that a golfer “should ensure that no one is in a pogition to sustain injury from his stroke or a practice swing.” Now this is a good rule. If you don’t think so, then you've never played golf with my friends. When this motley crew of misfits gets together to play golf, there's an ambulance standing by at the course An@'a team of doctors and nurses are preparing’ the operating room at the local hospital. Another change allows a player carrying the maximum of 14 clubs to borrow another club from any other player on the course. But the player from whom the club is borrowed, however, is then forbidden from using that club again during the round. Oh come on! This rule is an out- rage! How ean a player be expected to play a decent round of golf when he’s only allowed to use 14 clubs? You don’t see this rule applied to the game of pool do you? In pool both players can use each other's pool cue for the duration of the game. Only being allowed to use 14 clubs! Thede guys are really playing hardball now. If the Royal and Ancient Golf Club and the United States Golf Association feally want to improve the game of golf — they'll introduce rules that make it mandatory for golfers to wear clothes.
