In order to gain election, a player must appear on 75 per cent of the ballots cast by 10-year members of the Baseball Writers Association of America, and Jenkins just made it, A total. of 443: members cast ballots this year, meaning 333 votes were needed for election. Jenkins had 334 votes for 75.3 per cent. Carew made it by a more comfortable margin with 401 votes (90.5 per cent) and Perry had 342 votes (77.2 per cent). Jenkins was the first player since Ralph Kiner in 1975 to gain election by such a small margin.

CRHL provides a few surprises during past week By CasNews Staff Three games occurred in the Castlegar Recreational Hockey League during the past week and several surprises took place. Fourth-place Sandman Inn upset second-place Hi Arrow 8-3, Tuesday in Castlegar Recreational Hockey League action at the Community Complex. But Sandman didn’t fare as well Friday against league-leading Banjo’s Pub at Pioneer Arena, losing 13-5. At the Complex on Monday Ban- jo’s and Woodland Park Shell bat- tled to a 7-7 tie. Sandman established a three-goal lead Tuesday on Hi Arrow before Hi Arrow responded. Wayne Batchelor, Darrel Bojechko and Bill Nazaroff scored for Sandman, while Clay Martini responded for Hi Arrow. Both teams scored twice in the second. Kelly Keraiff and George Roberts of Hi Arrow cut into San- dman’s two-goal ~ lead, but Nazaroff’s second of the game helped restore the difference. Batchelor scored his second of the game for Sandman during the third and teammate Don Soroke rounded out the scoring with two goals. On Monday, Banjo’s built up a three-goal lead in the first period on goals by Brent Petrick and two by Vince Antignani Sr. But Shell came back in the second, outscoring Banjo’s 5-1. John Obetkoff scored twice for Shell and teammates Dean MacKin- non, Dave Rugg, and Ross Berkey added singles. Antignani responded for Banjo’s with his third of the game.

CRHL action resumes Thursday at the Complex as Hi Arrow and Shell tangle, while Sandman and Banjo’s go at it Friday at Pioneer Arena. PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Buddyball is finished in Philadelphia. The Eagles fired coach Buddy Ryan on Tuesday, three days af- ter the team lost in the first round of the NFL playoffs for the third year in a row. At a news conference, Eagles owner Norman Braman named offensive co-ordinator Rich Kotite to replace Ryan. Ryan, who spent five seasons with the Eagles, said it’s the first time he’s been dismissed for win- ning. The Eagles were 10-6 this season before losing 20-6 to the Washington Redskins in last Saturday's NFL playoff game. “I’ve been fired before, but Buddyball gone usually, it’s for losing,”’ Ryan said. ‘I’ve never been fired for winning before.’’ Ryan, an assistant for 18 years before taking the Eagles job in 1986, leaves with a 43-35-1 record. His playoff record was 0 -3. The Eagles over the last three years were the fourth-winningest team in the league behind the San Francisco 49ers, New York Gian- ts and Buffalo Bills. Braman said the playoff losses were a major factor in his decision to make a change. “It is time to stop being a bridesmaid and become a bride.”’ But Braman insisted that the Pee Wee Reps whip opponents The Castlegar Pee Wee Reps were back in action on the weekend playing a league game Saturday and an exhibition match on Sunday. Sunday’s game at the Community Complex against Fernie turned Out to be a one-sided affair. Castlegar scored four goals in the first and five more in the third to thrash the visitors 9-0. Craig Swanson led the attack with four goals followed by Wade Archambault with two. Darren Pottle, Jeremy Ross and Shawn Hor- MINOR HOCKEY REPORTS 2 coff added singles. Ted Hunter chipped in with three assists with Hor- coff and Pottle adding two helpers each. Darren Belanger, Grady Moore and Ross added. single assists. Wayne Stolz recorded the shutout. Saturday's lenge game at the Pioneer arena against Spokane also was a lopsided affair with Castlegar pounding its American rivals 11-4. Pottle led the way with four goals and one assist for Castlegar with Horcoff close behind with three goals and two assists. Swahson and Bill Phillips chipped in with two goals each. Swanson, Hunter and David Pucci had two assists each with Kent Fauth, Belanger and Moore adding single helpers. Goalie Mike Kooznetsoff recorded the win. Next up for the Pee Wee Reps is a gamé Saturday against Kim- berley at the Pioneer Arena, then it’s off to Beaver Valley on Sunday. BANTAM REPS The Castlegar Bantam Reps had Christmas off, but it was back to business Saturday at the Community Complex where they dropped a 6-3 decision to Spokane. The New Year appeared to be off to a good start for Castlegar as the Bantams held an edge in play in the early going and netminder Jayce Moore looked unbeatable. Persistence paid off as Shawn Mosby staked Castlegar to a 1-0 lead at 17:35 of the first period. After lan Dudley put him in the open. Spokane tied the game at 4:58 of the middle period but 2 minutes later Ken Skibinski, with help from Dudley, restored Castlegar’s lead: Skibinski then combined with Bryan Yackel to set up Derek Read who extended the lead to 3-1 and Castlegar appeared to be in control. But Spokane kicked its attack into a-higher gear and after 40 minutes had turned the tables for a 4-3 lead. Castlegar regained some of its early form in the third period but Spokane did all the scoring, adding two goals to cement the 6-3 vic- tory. Castlegar hits the road this weekend, travelling to Kimberley for a three-day tournament. PEE WEE HOUSE No. 1 AND 2 Castiegar Pee Wee House teams 1 and 2 went head-t6-head Satur- day at the Community Complex with Team | skating to an 11-6 win in league action. Team 1 took the lead at the 5:36 mark of the first on Luke Ferraro’s goal, only to have Team 2 tie the game 13 seconds later on a Brandon Waage goal. But Team | proved too much for its city rivals and scored three more goals, two by Mike Myrha, who went on to score four, and a single by Eric Ismay, to give Team | a 4-1 lead going into the second. Six goals in the second by Team | sealed Team 2’s fate with only Fred Jack responding in the second period for the losing side, with his first of two. Myrha got things going with his third in the second period, with teammate Wade Stoochnoff scoring four straight goals. Helping out with a single for Team 1 was Nick Antignani. Team 2 outscored Team 1 4-1 in the third, but it was too little, too late. Myrha scored his fourth of the game for Team 1, while Chris Mc- Cormack scored two goals and teammates Mark Bosse and Jack added singles for the losing side. ATOM REPS In Atom Rep division play, the Castlegar Atom All-stars put a good effort Sunday in Grand Forks despite losing 10-6 to the Grand Forks Pee Wees. Goaltender David Evdokimoff made several outstanding saves and received capable support from the defence of Brad Abietkoff, Cory Quiding, Ryan Biller and Wayne Markin. The forward line of David Bell, Brad Bartsoff and Eric Perrier a strong di effort and i @ goal by Bell. A unit of Brian McCormack, Jay.Antignani and Scotty Carlson con- tributed three goals, two by Antignani and one by Carlson, with Mc- Cormack ling three assists.

SBBRS~ o8Re ? eel eo LOCAL/ PROVINCIAL NEWS University enrolment rises in Canada OTTAWA (CP) — University enrolment in Canada rose 4.1 per cent this school year to a recent 536,000 full-time students, Statistics Canada reported Monday. The number of full-time students has been growing for more than a decade despite a decreasing number of Canadians aged 18 to 24, Stat- sCan said, The number of people in the age group has fallen between one and three per cent annually since 1982. “The population who normally at- tended university , . . is going down in numbers, so it’s always @ surprise to see that you have an increase,’’ said Claude Lajeunesse, president of the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada. Lajeunesse said the increased enrolment is a result of more women and a greater pecentage of young people going to university. About 14.5 per cent of people in the 18-24 age group now attend university, compared with 10 per cent in 1982, said StatsCan. There also are more mature students. People 30 or older now make up 10.5 per cent of all full-time students, compared with eight per on in 1982, said the pice nacon will put more strain on already overflowing lec- having too many students in schools without enough money include: * Science students sometimes have to watch a professor perform an ex- periment rather than do it them- selves. © Students preparing essays and other may not have access ture halls and libraries, “It makes it. very difficult for universities to cope at a time when goverriments are cutting back on funding,”’ he said.

Castlegar groups continue working against oil war By KEITH THIRKELL Special to the Castlegar News A dozen members of the Castlegar Peace Group and the USCC Working Group for Peace and Disarmament are continuing to work at finding alternatives to the poten- tial of the immii war huge- multi-national oil companies, Voykin said “Aggression like the kind commit- ted by Saddam Hussein has been going on for years unchecked by the West because our financial interests were ‘not at statke,”” said Voykin. “A iti and gross abuses of in the Persian Gulf. One of their most recent efforts. was to endorse and help finance a major advertising undertaking being developed by Greenpeace and the Canadian Peace Alliance. Greenpeace and the Peace Alliance are purchasing a full page adver- tisement in the.national newspaper The Globe and Mail. The ad will run Jan, 11, just four days before the deadline for Iraq to withdraw from Kuwait requested by the .United States and .implemented by the United Nations Security Council, of which Canada is currently a member. “The cost of the full page ad in the Globe will be approximately $40,000, of which the two Castlegar groups are contributing $200,’’ said Natalie Voykin of the USCC. The names of the two local: groups will appear in the ad, Voykin said. The Canadian Peace Alliance and Greenpeace represent at least 250,000 Canadians, she said. Greenpeace and the Peace Alliance argue that Canadians are being led into a long and costly conflict because of short sightedness by some human rights have been largely ignored, except by concerned citizens groups like Amnesty International, because they have mostly occurred in less strategically important areas like East Timor, Guatamala, Salvador, Tibet, Malaysia, Philippines, to name a few,’ Voykin said. Voykin quoted Ralph Nader, a prominent American consumer ad- vocate, saying that if every car in the U.S. were made to adhete to tougher fuel consumption requirements, such as 35 miles to the gallon, the United States would not need a drop of foreign oil. “The same holds true in Canada,"’ Voykin said. Voykin added that she believes there is an abundance of un- tapped energy resources here such as natural gas, methanol and propane which would completely eliminate Canada's dependence.on foreign oil. But, she added, “‘the monopoly the mega-companies have on oil is blin- ding them to the alternatives.’" That monopoly ‘“‘has and is jeapordizing our. ecological and sociological security,"’ Voykin said. is provi CasNews photo Dr. David Bullock presents Tracy ond Hari by the B.

Applicants are interviewed locally by an authorized Canadian Cancer Society representative who conducts a confidential needs assessment. Emergency aid is only one of the services provided by the Canadian Cancer Society.
