RING FOOTBA

Only 10 passes

By DAVE GOLDBERG
‘The Associated Press

MD obowt the same time
last Sunday that Jim Kelly
was learning he had thrown
_just 10 passes in his first
vietory as a Buffalo Bill, the
switchboard at a Buffalo
radio station was lighting up
for the post-game call-in
show.

The calls, with a few
exceptions, went like this:

“That's the worst game
I've ever seen.”

“I don't want to have to
watch boring football.”

“We've got the best quar-
terback in the game and they
don't let him throw. We need
a new (general manager,
coach, offensive co-ordina.
tor).”

The Bills had won for just
the fifth time in 37 regular-
season National Football
League games, beating the
St. Louis Cardinals 17-10
with promise of better things
to come.

But it was boring.

The Bills were

aimed at allowing St. Louis to
move the ball until making a
mistake.

A far cry from the first two
Buffalo losses, both exciting
losses — 28-24 to the New
York Jets and 36-33 in over-
time to the Cincinnati Ben-
gals. In those games, Kelly,
the franchise's designated
savior, threw 565 times for 520
yards and four touchdowns,
bringing instant respecta-
bility to a team that had put

albeit effective, seemed to be

Martina sues

RIVERHEAD, N.Y. (AP)
— Martina Navratilova, the
world’s top-ranked women’s
tennis player, testified Tues-
day that she was crying and
ill before she took a camera
away from a professional
photographer and exposed
his film.

The photographer, Arthur
Seitz, 43, sued i

After leaving the court,
she went into a tunnel out of

Navratilova said she suf-

final match, Navratilova

She said she encountered
Seitz on a narrow staircase.
“He bumped into me with his
shoulder and cameras and I
got against the railing to get
out of his way.”

Later, she saw him im the
scoreboard plaza taking her
picture again, she testified.

“I believe since I had done
my part to conduct inter-
views and be available for
pictures, that I had a right to
be alone after that.”

Seitz claims the film was
worth at least $40,000 be-
cause it contained important
photographs, and his arm in-

that would cost most than
$40,000.

Challenge
cup relay
races end

By CasNews Staff
The Challenge Cup may be
history after the annual
event was cancelled on Sun-
day because not enough
teams signed up for the race.
According to Castlegar

only four teams registered
for the race and at least
seven or eight teams were
needed in order to hold the
event.

The Challenge Cup in
volves a runner, a cyclist and
two canoeists on each team.

Walker says the event
probably won't be held again.

“It's probably an event
that has gone down in his
tory,” she said.

The Challenge Cup had
been held for two years prior
to being cancelled this year.

WINS AS USUAL

So it wasn't surprising that
coach Hank Bullough, known
in Buffalo as the master of
the malapropism, entered the
locker room and said: “Well,
we lost as usual . . . I mean,
we won as usual.”

Then the former defensive
co-ordinator proceeded to tell
the world that he’s not an
offensive genius like Don
Coryell and why slugging it
out over the line of scrim-
mage is more effective.

“We wanted to run the
ball,” he said. “You can't win
in this league if you can't run
it.

“T'm a firm believer in that.
If you rear up and throw it
every time, you're going to
have trouble.”

Cut to the man whose
arrival in Buffalo was ex
pected to usher in an era of
rear up and throw.

“We're back to the old
feeling of winning again,”
Kelly said.

“How many times did I
pass?” he asked. Ten, he was
told, completing six for 105
yards.

“Ten?” he asked. “Ten?
Well, at least the percentage
was good.

“I threw more than that in
midget football. God, I hope
that never happens again. I
want to throw the ball.”

So far, 145,713 fans have
shown up at Rich Stadium to
see him throw. That's 38,000
people — and about $570,000
— more than for the first two
games last year.

They'll probably come back
this week. The Bills are
favored again over Kansas
City. But a lot may be hoping
that Buffalo falls behind.

That way they'll get to see
Kelly pass.

report

Editor's Note: The following is the first of a weekly

column by Stanley Humphries secondary school student

Tammy Harshenin on sports happenings at the school.
By TAMMY HARSHENIN

Stanley Humphries secondary school is off to a fast
start in the athletic department this year, with Karen
Popoff as the student body's nominated Minister of
Athletics. She and her chosen council are already hard at
work to promote school spirit, and start fund-raising
activities.

With eight energetic teams underway, we are sure
to be hearing a lot about sports events in the days to
come. Mr. Bilesky's senior soccer team aroused the school
spirit after their victory against Midway on Sept. 16.

“The score was 5-1,” the team's captain, Fernando
Amaral, was proud to announce.

Jessi Zielke’s cross country running team took part
in their first meet last Thursday. The meet was held at
Kinnaird Junior secondary school. The results for this
meet have not yet been received by SHSS.

Also well on their way with training and practise are
the senior field hockey team, coached by Pat West, junior
field hockey, coached by Miss Wile, Mr. King’s senior
boy's volleyball, Mr. Uehida's senior girl's volleyball,
Chris Bouchiar's junior girl's volleyball, and Mrs.
Scheupfer's swim team.

Because of the renovations to the high school
gymnasium, many of the host games will be held at
Kinnaird Junior secondary school, or Selkirk College.
These would include games such as volleyball for now,
and sports such as basketball later in the season.
Students are off to an anxious start as well in clubs
such as the Computer club, Hiking, Amnesty Inter-
national, the Candy Stripers, and a Dance club.

There are many athletic activities going on now and
many more planned for the days to follow

Houston Astros ready
for New York Mets

Armed with the best rec
ord in baseball, the New
York Mets will charge boldly
into the National League
playoffs against the Houston
Astros in a couple of weeks,
confident that good times
await them.

‘That, says St. Louis man.
ager Whitey Herzog. might
be a terrible miscalculation.

“They've got their hands
fall,” Herzog warned.
“They're going to be facing a
good left-hander and two
right-handed starters who
are better than average.

“I don't care how many
games they won or what
their record is. In the play
offs, you start all over and
the other team is there
because they played better
than anybody else in their
division.”

Herzog thinks the Astros.

Mets playoff will turn early.
“The key to that series will
be the first two games in
Houston,” he said. “Houston
has got to win one of those
games, maybe both of them.”
He thinks the Astros might
have a very good chance of
doing exactly that, New
York's Dwight Gooden and
Bob Ojeda or Ron Darling
notwithstanding.
Left-hander Bob Knepper
will pitch one game and
righty Mike Scott the other.
That, Herzog said, is a
not-too-shabby 1-2 punch for
the Astros.
RIGHT WITH RIGHTIES
“The Mets are not as good
against left-handers as they
are against righties,” he said
“A left-hander keeps their 1-2
hitters, (Len) Dykstra and
(Wally) Backman, on the
bench and _ neutralizes
(Darryl) Strawberry. It
weakens their defence and

takes what running game
they have away.”

Herzog says the Astros’
efficiency will not be dam-
aged when they pitch Scott.

“He's the most dominating
pitcher in the league right
now,” the Cardinal manager
said. “A hard-throwing right
hander does well against the
Mets.

Nolan Ryan is baseball's
all-time strikeout king and
Houston's likely third-game
starter. Herzog says Ryan is
throwing as hard today at
age 39 as he did21 years ago
when he signed with the
Mets as a raw-boned Texas
teen-ager

Herzog was director of
player development for the
Mets then and was still there
in 1971 when the Mets made
a trade with the California
Angels for third baseman
Jim Fregosi.

Evans blasts WKPL sale

West Kootenay Power and Light Co. users must band
together and make the proposed sale of the utility a political
issue, a mecting of about 35 people was told in Winlaw
last week.

Gerald Abele of Creston, coordinator of the newly
formed Electric Consumers’ Association, and Nelson ‘Cres.
ton New Democrat candidate Corky Evans agreed that the
sale of WKPL to the Missouri-based UtiliCorp must be
blocked, according to a prepared release.

The release says both men urged all area residents to
join the organization, which was formed two weeks ago by
concerned Creston-area citizens. Abele said that the prime
purpose of ECA is to stop the saie of WKPL to a foreign
owned corporation. A secondary goal is to organize an
attempt to buy WKPL by the current users of the utility.

Abele said the organization is growing rapidly, from 17
founding members two weeks ago, to 700 members at
present. Although ECA has no political ties, both Abele and
Evans stressed the importance of making the politicans
accountable, the release says.

“If it's not a political issue,” said Evans, “the politicians
will refer it to the bureaucrats. And the bureaucrats will
stuff it away until everyone forgets about it.”

Hearings before the B.C. Utilities Commission have not
been scheduled because Cominco, UtiliCorp, and West
Kootenay Power have not applied, said Abele

“If we have 5,000 members, the politicians are going to
have to take notice,” Abele pointed out. He said that an
informal survey had indicated that 90 per cent of West
Kootenay residents are opposed to the sale of WKPL to
UtiliCorp.

“(Premier Bill) Vander Zalm says, ‘Investment is
investment.’ ” said Evans. “Jack Davis says, ‘It's OK with
me. It will allow Cominco to go ahead with modernization
Iris Bakken says, ‘This is investment. Anyone in the
Kootenays against investment is against work

“If you come into the Kootenays with $80 million and
build a factory that produces something, that's investment,”
Evans said. “And I'd take that money from a Missouri
investor if it provided jobs here to build something. But if
you bring $80 million to B.C. and simply buy control of
something that people have already built, that's plunder, not
investment. The ideas that giving away resources for money
is ‘investment’, is wrong-headed government

“It should be an election issue here and in the Okanagan
as big as the sky. It should be the only thing that people are
talking about in the next little while, because it's the
example of how the rest of this century is going to go.” said
Evans, referring to future resource-related settlements like
the re-negotiation of the Columbia River Treaty slated for
1990.

The release says both men pointed out there were many
Canadian bidders, several from the Kootenays, and yet
Cominco had accepted the only foreign bid. Initial bids were
to be received by Aug. 1, with adjusted bids to be submitted
by Sept. 1. But Cominco announced it was accepting Utili
Corp's bid on Avg. 15.

In addition, the release says concern was expressed
about UtiliCorp itself. Tracing its evolution and sky

rocketing success, Evans warned that “in utilities, the name
of the game is takeovers. I am sure UtiliCorp’is the cleanest
of companies,” he said, “but there is no guarantee that it will
be in existence six months from now.”

He said that in an atmosphere of “hostile takeovers,”
another utility company could take over UtiliCorp.

“We might be in danger of paying electrical bills to Shell
Oil later on,” speculated Evans.

“UtiliCorp may be considered good business people, but
I don't think they're the best for us.”

UtiliCorp has been an aggressive purchaser, buying two
coal-fired power plants, two natural gas distribution
companies, and two natural gas pipeline companies since
April 1985, said Evans.

Because UtiliCorp is such a fast growing company,
Evans said he is also worried that it can't keep its promises.
In August UtiliCorp president Richard Green assured a
meeting in Castlegar that the American company owned no
nuclear facilities. A week later it was announced that
UtiliCorp had acquired an interest in a nuclear plant im
Arizona, Evans told the Winlaw audience.

The company, which grew out of a small family-oper
ated utility called Missouri Public Service, owes its profit
making success to its young president, who himself came
from that family, Evans said

But he said those profits will not stay in the Kootenays.

Jean Fitzpatrick told mem-
bers of her flight to Ontario
to visit her son and family,
and especially to see her
newest grandchild. While
there she said it was a thrill
for her to visit Niagara Falls
for the first time.

Mary Ellen Cormier and
her daughter motored all the
way to New Brunswick this
summer, picking up a second

around home this year.

She went on several trips

She said she especially en
joyed the trip to Nelson
