NEW YORK (AP) — Fame
may keep Frank Viola out of
the shopping centres, but it
could keep him in Minnesota.

Viola, selected Most Valu.
able Player in Minnesota's
World Series triumph over
the St. Louis Cardinals, is
enjoying the winning feeling
for the first time as a pitcher
for the Twins.

“There were times in Min.
nesota when I didn’t want to
be there,” Viola said. “But
this is the first time in a long
time the Twins are winners.
‘They lost for so many years, I
don’t think any of us will take
this for granted.”

The Twins were in their
first World Series since los-
ing in seven games to the Los
Angeles Dodgers in 1965.
The franchise hadn't won 4
World Series since 1924 as
the Washington Senators,
and in 1986, the Twins lost 91
games to finish sixth in the
American League West.

Viola, 27, was a winner in

HUNTING

By ALAN ADAMS
‘The Canadian Press

A couple of friends were out varmint hunting not so
long ago when one of them spotted what he thought was
fair game.

The hunter took careful aim and scored a bull's-eye
on his target — accidentally killing his partner.

In 1961, there was the deer hunter in Nova Scotia
who clobbered a porcupine with the butt of his
The gun discharged, shooting the hunter in the chest and
killing him.

These and other similar stories make for morbid
hunting-cabin conversation, but fortunately such inci-
dents are on the decline.

Safety courses, the mandatory use of hunter-orange
clothing and tough testing have reduced the number of
hunting accidents and firearm fatalities.

Still, each year toes are lost, feet blasted, thighs torn
and close calls are

TESTS TOUGH

Provincial governments are trying to cut down the
number of hunting through
testing of people applying for licences. Officials say the
tests are so tough there is a 30- to 50-per-cent failure rate.

Ontario was the first province to establish a hunter-
safety progam, on a voluntary basis, in 1967. It became
mandatory in 1960, os other provinces followed suit,
either with 'y

In 1960 there were “36 fatalities in 164 hunting
accidents in Ontario. In 1986, there were seven deaths in
86 accidents among more than 600,000 individuals
hunting everything from birds to moose.

“We can safely say that hunting is one of the safer
forms of recreation that we have,” says Bill McKittrick,
the head of Ontario's hunter-safety . “We have
been very successful in reducing the number of acci-
dents.”

In British Columbia, 134,000 licences were issued in
1986. Two people died in.a total of nine hunting-related
accidents.

VICTORIA (CP) — The provincial government has
ended its wolf hunt in southeastern B.C. because of
concerns raised by the Montana government and U.S.
wildlife officials.

Only three wolves were killed in six weeks before
the season was closed last Friday when B.C. and
American officials agreed at a meeting that the Hunt tity
have been endangering a wolf recovery program'in Mon-
tana’s Glacier National Park.

“The consensus was that it was time to close the hunt
down not because of the status of the wolves in the
Flathead region (in British Columbia), but because the
people south of the border felt that their program could
be jeopardized,” Ralph Archibald, co-ordinator of the En-
vironment Ministry's wildlife branch, said Wednesday.

The wolf hunt in the Flathead region was the first
since 1967. Environment ministry officials were con-
cerned that the growing number of wolves — they
number between 25 and 30 — were slaughtering moose
and elk in the area.

Unlike in the Flathead region, wolves are an en-
dangered species in Montana where efforts are being
made to promote their viability in the park area as wolves
return after a 50-year absence.

There are an estimated 7,000 wolves in British
Columbia and Archibald expects as many, as 600 will be
either shot or trapped during hunting season across the
province this year.

It's safer then ever before

B.C. wolf hunt ended

fatalities 80 per cent, compared with the 10 years up to
1974.

However, Geoff Swannell, head of the hunter-edu-
cation program for the B.C. government, feels the
courses are not enough.

“I think there is a place for a more advanced course,
one that would have emphasis on hunting and shooting
techniques.”

In Ontario, the safety course has a minimum of 15
hours’ training on firearms, followed by 4 written exam
for a hunting licence. An individual must have 50 correct
answers of the 60 multiple-choice questions.

‘Then the would-be hunters have to pass a practical
course, which consists of the safe handling of firearms,
identifying the different types of firearms, loading
various firearms, as well as safety in the woods. A
hunting licence can only be purchased once these tests
have been successfully completed.

The testing procedure is similar across Canada.

FOLLOW RULES

Hunters have their own list of commandments:

- Control the muzzle-of firearms at all times. Always
be aware of where it is pointing.

- Open the action to be sure it is unloaded.

- Make sure the barrel is clear of obstructions.

- Make sure you have the correct ammunition.

- Make absolutely sure of your target, what it is and
what is around it, what's in the path of the bullet, what's
behind the target.

- Don't shoot toward hard surfaces like a rock.

- The safety lock on a rifle should be used, but don’t
rely on it.

- When travelling over unstable areas — such as
crossing a stream, stepping over a downed tree or going
over a fence — the firearm should be unloaded.

- Never use alcohol or drugs.

- Firearms should be stored separately from the
ammunition.

- Treat every firearm as if it’s loaded.

Besides general carelessness, most accidents are
caused by the use of firearms in unstable areas and the
age-old excuse: “I didn't think the gun was loaded.”

“They pick it up,” says Swannell, “think it is not
loaded, pull the trigger and shoot themselves in the foot.”

But he said even if double that number are killed or
die from other causes, it will not have a major effect on
the population.

The provincewide activist Paul Watson led a
well-publicized attempt two years ago to disrupt the hunt
by B.C. government officials in northern British
Columbia.

And just two weeks ago, dozens of marchers pro-
tested in front of the Canatian“cénsulate’s office in
Seattle, Wash. The march led by a group called Wolf
Haven urged travellers to cross Canada off their list of
destinations.

Archibald said only the killing of baby seals has
evoked such strong reactions even though there are
hunting seasons for all kinds of animals ranging from deer
to rabbits.

He said public sentiment against killing wolves
“defies explanation.”
NO BIOLOGIST

Farley Mowat's book, Never Cry Wolf, has popular-
ized the wolves’ cause, but Archibald said that while
Mowat is an excellent storyteller, “he is not a biologist.”

As long as there are hunters and man continues to
affect wildlife habitat through a variety of means,
Archibald said there must be species management.

Archibald denied claims by Wolf Haven that wolves
are being killed by fish hooks concealed in chunks of meat
and by poison. He said those methods are illegal and if
anyone were caught doing that, they would be charged.

Reflections
& recollections

EDITOR'S NOTE: The following is the second
part of a letter by Ecuadorian missionary John
Munday.

Several of the boys, (including six of the blind boys
and two suffering from paralysis), have enjoyed a week at
a Christian Camp for Disabled young people. I am very
grateful to the and many for
the excellent job they did and for not charging us a cent
for any of it. Others have been, or are in various corners
of the republic visiting their families.

Thirty-yeat-old Angel, a blind Shuar Indian boy, is
right now deep in the eastern jungle in search of the
mother he has not seen for more than a decade, ever since
he lost his sight here in Quito. Amable is somewhere in
Colombia in search of his birth certificate in the remote
town of his birth. Tomorrow morning 10 of the boys are
planning to leave at the crack of dawn or before, equipped
with three pounds of rice, three pounds of sugar, five
pounds of flour, one bag of salt, two pounds of lard, six
tins of g§rdines, one jar af coffee and five boxes of
matches, as well as the 5 beskes for seeping, shelter, and:
the like. They promise to be back by Saturday (tomorow
is Wednesday). Their destination is a remote part of thie.
mountains eight hours hard hiking from here. I'll be
spending much of that time in prayer!

One night we filled the van with 16 of the smaller
boys and headed to the circus. Marco enjoyed a ringside
seat. If his wheelchair had rolled a few feet further he'd
have been bumping into clowns, elephants and gymnasts.
That night 17 of us indulged in a shishkabob supper of
skewered meat samples as soon as we stepped out of the
circus tent into the cold night air.

Last Friday we were hosts to 160 ladies representing
most of Quinto's ngelical churches. It was their
“annual convention” with a full program. Everything
went along remarkably smoothly including the buffet
supper that followed. It even started and ended on time
which is enough to make the whole undertaking
memorable occasion.

Charter’s notes Castlegar Rotary Exchange students
have been taken aback repeatedly in the host Latin
countries where even an hour's delay in starting an event
is not regarded as being late.

It was one of Antonia’s last big challenges in the
kitchen as she has decided to leave as of the end of
September. Eventually she'll return to the jungle with
Nelson and two-year-old Javier. Victor's mother, Sra
Blanca, will be working with Antonia during the final
week as she prepares to take over where Antonia leaves

off after six years, I think it is, of hard and faithful labors
here.

Last week, Canadian fellow missionaires from the

left on ap-emergency flight to. Toronte.; Plweed
Vardy and- his wife, Jan, arrived. in: Beuader four.yoers;
ago to begin a new life in Shell Mera. Jan, with ber
teaching experience, helped in the jungle scliool for
missionaries’ children, and Elwood, an electrical engineer
with a tender heart had a full-time job keeping the
electrical side of things going down there — and up here,
too. Shortly before going into hospital for'an exploratory
biopsey, (he suspected a temporary lung problem like
pleurisy), he brought order out of the confusion of our
scrambled wiring). When reports came back from the lab
that he had a growing malignant cancer of the lung, he
was, of course, stunned, as was Jan, and so all of us — his
many friends here who love and appreciate him.

Lloyd and Linda Rogers who, with Vardy’s, have
made Shell Mera their jungle home and the center of
their ministries, recently returned from the States where
their 17-year-old daughter Karen died from a rare type of
cancer. They're unwittingly taken on a new ministry —
that of comforting those who face similar tests.

Lloyd and Linda accompanied another family in their
time of extreme sorrow yesterday afternoon. The
Alliance Academy Gymnasium was just about filled with
students, teachers and fellow missionaires, come to
honor the memory of the school librarian, Mrs. Mary
Cadle.

Mary and her husband, Bill, were missionaires to the
Quichua Indians in the eastern jungle for many years. On
Sept. 4, 1972, Bill dropped dead in that same jungle from
a heart attack. Mary bravely carried on on her own and

morning, with her youngest daughter, a high school
senior.

Because it was the anniversary of Bill's death, her
daughter wanted her to cancel her trip to the jungle, but
plans had been all set to drive down with friends and she
went. En route there was a long line-up of cars beside a
