Costtews Photo by Debra Cote Cowan studies football By GRANT KERR VANCOUVER (CP) — Tim Cowan had an excellent tutor in the offseason during his studies to become a proficient professional quarterback. Cowan, a second-year pro with British Columbia Lions, listened to the philosophies of the Canadian Football League's best quarterback in recent years, fellow University of Washington alumni Warren Moon. “One of the things he really re-inforced in my head was that you've got to be thinking about what you want to do, the goals you want to achieve,” Cowan said Tuesday. “You have to know what you want before you can do it.” Cowan, 23, has wisely followed the teachings of Moon. Cowan has thrown four touchdown passes for the Lions in two exhibition victories, completing 26 of 36 passes for 395 yards in just 50 minutes of playing time. Moon left Edmonton Eskimos after six CFL seasons and, “signed a multi-million-dollaF éontract with Heuston Oilers of the National Football League. Cowan would like to pick up where Moon left off. “I want to contribute to this team because we've got unbelievable potential,” Cowan said. “If I can take the right Trail loses to Ivan's By CasNews Staff Ivan's Carpets edged Trail Auto Body 15-14 Monday night in junior division action of Little Lassies softball league.

The Lions have not played Roy Dewalt, last year's starter, because he's recovering from offseason ankle sur- gery. Cowan and Mike Williams are competing for the backup position after Joe Paopao played out his option in 1983 and signed with Saskatchewan Roughriders. Cowan appears to be running ahead of Williams after Williams produced just eight points, without a touchdown, in the first half against Edmonton. “Tve visualized myself being successful and I've worked hard at becoming a better quarterback,” said Cowan. “I'm not that surprised at what's happened so far.” Cowlitf drésséd fof oily one game in 1983, a late-season game in Saskatchewan when Dewalt was rested, and said he doesn’t expect to unseat Dewalt as B.C.’s No. 1 pivot. WANTS ACTION “I consider myself a team player and I want to con- tribute,” he said. “We had a heck of a season last year and I sat around and twiddled my thumbs. “I don’t want to go through that again. I don’t want to sit in the press box any longer.” Cowan said rookie receivers Jim Sandusky of San Diego State and Henry Vereen of Las Vegas-Nevada have given a new scope to the B.C. attack which last season featured Dewalt throwing to all-star wide receiver Mervyn Fer- nandez. “Last year we got caught up in utilizing our receivers in certain situations,” Cowan added. “We were a book and it was easy to read us.” Head coach Don Matthews said Cowan showed extreme patience when he played in the second half against the Eskimos.

Stars beat Canadians VANCOUVER (CP) — Jerry Davis drove in Ed Rodriguez with the go-ahead run in the seventh inning Tuesday night as Las Vegas Stars defeated Vancouver Canadians 6-1 in a Pacific Coast League baseball game. The Stars, who had tied the game in the sixth when Davis was safe on an error and then scored on a triple by Ron Roenicke, scored twice in the seventh and added three more runs in the eighth. Rodriguez forced George Hinshaw, who was safe on a one-out single. Mike Martin then sent Rodriguez to third with a single to rightfield and Davis followed with his game-winning hit. Davis then scored on a sin- gle by Roenicke before re- liever Ray Searage, 82, re- tired the side. ‘ It was the third game- winning hit for Davis in the series, which the Stars lead 40. The series concludes to- night. Luis DeLeon, 1-1, allowed the Canadians four hits through six innings to pick up the win. Searage went 1 2-8 innings in which he gave up six hits and five runs in relief of Bill Wegman, who had two-hit the Stars through six innings and left when his arm tight- ened up.

Laboratory analyses received May 30 of five bighorn sheep collected from these herds in early May 1984, reveal an excessively high lungworm level in lung and fecal samples collected, the Cranbrook office of the B.C. Fish and Wildlife Branch reported. “We are somewhat relieved that the tests for bacterial pneumonia are negative in the bighorns collected,” the office said in a prepared release. “We can treat parasitic pneumonia using anti-p: ite drugs, but due to dispersal of herds from winter range and the presence of lush spring growth, treatment cannot be started until fall. “An intensive treatment program is planned when these herds return to winter range in November. Research may indicate that these herds have to be reduced in number.” The winter ranges are remote and rugged, conse- quently, treatment will be expensive, the release stated. An appeal will be made to local, national and international wildlife groups for funding. Resource companies in the Elk Valley will also be ~~ approached for assistance. The first indication that disease might be present in Elk Valley bighorns came in early April when a sick bighorn lamb was retrieved near Sheep Mountain. Autopsy results two weeks later indicated that the lamb had pneumonia aggravated by heavy lungworm damage and contagious ecthyma or sore mouth. An aerial survey of Sheep Mountain and Ewin Ridge on May 1, did not locate any sick animals. A single two year old ram on Sheep Mountain appeared to have contagious ecthyma. Although this viral skin disease is seldom deadly, it can result in heavy lamb losses if the udders of lactating ewes are affected. The ewe will reject the efforts of her lamb to suckle due to the cracked swollen skin resulting from a pox virus, and the lamb will starve. Contagious ecthyma may also be an indicator of high stress levels in an overpopulated sheep herd. Many of the Wigwam Flats herd were affected with contagious ecthyma the winter prior to the 1982-82 die-off. Since the mid 1960's, bighorn sheep populations have Roads closed to hunters Road management in the East Kootenay is expanding rapidly into all areas of the region. Two new closures for hunt- ing with motor vehicles will be established this fall in the Pedley Creek and Brewer Greek drainages near Inver- other plans, namely St. Mary's, Skookumchuck- Findlay and Beaverfoot ac- cess plans. Roads closed under these plans are scheduled to be re- claimed by water-barring, tripled on Sheep Mountain and doubled in Ewin Ridge. Winter range is extremely limited on Sheep Mountain even in mild winters, resulting in a high density of bighorns in small areas. Representatives of Crows Nest Resources and the Cranbrook Fish and Wildlife Branch met on May 3 to develop a strategy in dealing with the potential problem. The course of action outlined was as follows: To sacrifice several bighorns from Ewin Ridge and Sheep Mountain to determine the nature and extent of the problem; e To collect feces from each herd at regular intervals to determine lungworm larval loads being released in the digestive tract; e To monitor movements and lamb survival through radio-collaring research by Crows Nest Resources at Line Creek; e To determine carrying capacity for bighorns on Ewin Ridge and Sheep Mountain; ‘ To reduce sheep populations in these herds if research finds it necessary. Any concerns, queries or observations should be addressed to: Ray Demarchi, Regional Wildlife Biologist or Peter Davidson Sheep Enhancement Biologist at the B.C.
