The onton Eskimos, whose inept perfor. mance t Re: gave birth to the Lions’ resurgence, are determined the beast shall die on the same field this Sunday in the CFL Western Final. “We started this streak and we think we can stop it,” defensive end Stewart Hill said Tuesday before the Eskimos practiced in sub-zero temper situations,” “The last two times we played them we- had about six starters out of our lineup, especially on defence,” Hill said “We've got some guys back. in the secondary now whoare used to playing against the run and who are used to covering the big-play type people. “So we've got the personnel now to hammer We just have to go out and do our jobs.” RIDING WIN STREAK The defending Grey Cup champions were whipped by the Lions in their last two meetings 35-15 in Edmonton and 51-16 in Vancouver. Still, while the Lions are riding a four-game winning streak that has seen them outscore opponents by an average of 43-18, the Eskimos have tradition on their last month. “We've them pocket Twelve times since 1959 teams have come to Hill.

Still, there's a feeling in the Edmonton dressing room that the Eskimos can cool off the Lions and earn their eighth Grey Cup berth in the last 11 years. “We know what they're going to do in certain linebacker Larry Wruck said. “We just have to be ready and recognize their sets and what they want to run off of them. “The defence held them through the first three quarters of the last game (here).

However, it is Campbell said many league man agers and coaches are discussing testing players for all drugs, includ ing steroids. “It is possible someone has used them somewhere along the line,” he said. “I don’t see any greater reason for football players to use them than policemen or anyone else for that matter.” He called the use of steroids by athletes “a passing fad” that could be fought through education. ARE HARMFUL While they help athletes build muscles quickly and perform better, they have many harmful side-effects, including likver damage. including liver damage Steroid use has been under scrut iny since Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson lost his gold medal in the Seoul Olympics after testing positive for anabolic steroids. Loewen said the use of steroids by Edmonton athletes was studied at the request of the city’s police com mission. He refused to give details of the investigation's findings. But he did say steroid use seems to be confined to small cliques in private gymnasiums and is not common in highschools and colleges. “Use is basically restricted to pro. fessional or aspiring professional althetes,” he said. “Most of them would be in the areas of football players, weightlifters and body build ers. “This is a very difficult area to investigate because it is restricted to a small, close group that are paranoid about police investigation after all the media attention on steroid use.” He said use jof the drugs often starts among athletes when they are 17 or 18 years old “These are teenagers trying to impress their friends or build up muscle quickly trying to get into professional sports,” he said.

Kirk Gibson named MVP NEW YORK (AP) — Although other players swung bigger bats, Gibson made the biggest swing of all. Gibson turned a losing team into World Series champions, inspiring the Los “Angeles Dodgers in the club- house and carrying them at the plate, For that, he was named most valuable player of the National League on Tuegday. Gibson drove in only 76 runs, the fewest by an MVP since Pete Rose in 1973, but finished comfortably ahead of Darryl Strawberry of the New York Mets. Orel Hershiser, the play- off and World Series MVP, was a distant sixth. Montreal's Andres Galarraga was seventh. “I'm not a numbers person,” Gib son said from his home in Michigan. “I never set goals to hit this number or get so many RBIs. “The intangibles obviously were taken into consideration and that makes me feel good. Winnipeg the MVP was never my goal. But I'm happy that so many people had the opinion that I had that much impact on our winning. “My goal was for us to become world champs. That's what makes this that much sweeter.” Gibson got 13 first-place votes and finished with 272 points. Strawberry had seven first-place votes and 236, followed by Kevin McReynolds of the Mets with the other four first-place votes and 162. Strawberry led the league with 39 home runs, was second with 101 RBIs and batted .269. McReynolds hit .288 with 27 homers and 99 RBI. “Eventually one day I'm going to be appreciated,” Strawberry said. “I have no reason to feel down about anything.” McReynolds said Gibson was a de serving winner. “He helped turn the team around and played a leadership role,” Mc Reynolds said. “I'm not disappointed at all. I'm just happy to be men. tioned. Pittsburgh's Andy Van Slyke was fourth with 160 points, San Fran cisco’s Will Clark got 135 and Her. shiser, who received just one third. place vote, had 111.

Sailor awarded for race rescue EDMONTON (CP) — A Canadian sailor who forfeited a chance at an Olympic medal to rescue a capsized competitor will get a medal from Washington State's power company on Thursday. Peter Kerwien, an executive with the company, said he heard about Lawrence Lemieux's rescue while listening to a church sermon during the Seoul Olympics last September. Kerwien was so impressed by the tale of how Lemieux abandoned his second-place standing in the race to rescue Singapore sailor Joseph Chan that he felt compelled to personally honor the Canadian. “It just struck me that it it was important to tell that guy that what he did was personally important to me,” Kerwien s: “Too often we are driven by the bottom line in our society. “I thought that by makingfiin example of this event and inviting him down to Spokane, I could make a statement that we who live in this region appreciate what he di Lemieux, 32, and his mother will attend two receptions Thursday night in Spokane. The Edmonton sailor has said he doesn’t consider himself a hero. “To me a hero is someone who pulls somebody from a burning building or something," he said after his rescue in Seoul. “I wasn't in much danger.” Lemieux wound up placing 21st in the race but was awarded second place and got a special award from Olympic organizers for his rescue.

Jenkins also slammed the 15 per cent export tax on softwood lumber. He said the Tories have enshrined in their trade deal a 15 per cent export tax on softwood lumber, and then have the moxie to say that the Mul roney-trade deal will be good for our forest industry because without it we are faced with 6.8 per cent to 15 per cent tariffs on manufactured wood products.

Polls aggravate voters: OTTAWA (CP) — “It’s like they tell you the election's over even be- fore you get to vote.” Margo Jordan, an Ottawa store clerk, doesn't like campaign polls. She says they pull voters back and forth. “One day (John) Turner's way be hind, the next day he's way ahead. Who knows?” Those aggravating polls have be- come a fixture of election campaigns. The major polling companies, Gallup, Environics, Angus Reid, use election campaigns almost as a form of prom: otion. Their bread-and-butter work is in surveying public opinion on all sorts of topics — consumer preferences, public concerns, for businesses and governments. Allan Frizzell, a journalism pro fessor at Carleton University, says the big polling companies basically break even on their election polling. But it’s worth it in terms of publicity. The campaign for the Nov. 21 election has beena pollster’s dream, with the numbers surging back and forth since the start. Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and his Conservatives had a com manding lead in the early days. In the first week of October, both Gallup and Angus Reid had the Tories well ahead, and Reid even showed the New Democrats ahead of the Liberals. MP questions Liberal claims Kootenay West Conservative in eumbent Bob Brisco says he is sur. prised that Liberal candidate Garry Jenkins is again trying to take credit for federal money spent in Kootenay West over the last four years, calling Jenkins’ claim “revisionist history.” “T called a full news conference on this issue and gave a full detailed accounting of all the federal funding that I have brought into this riding,” Brisco said in a prepared release. The 10-page, 100-point document that was furnished to the local media “does not include one nickel of fund: ing that was provided by the pre. vious government,” said Brisco. “I was involved in fighting for every last one of those projects.” Brisco said Jenkins’s “most out- rageous claim” is that the previous Liberal government was somehow responsible for the $79 million in federal funding for Cominco's new PRE-HOLIDAY SHOWING OF WATERCOLOURS Drop in and see these paintings at your leisure... NOV. 7th THROUGH lead smelter. “The Liberal government was ap. proached in late 1983, and Cominco did not receive any positive response from them at all,” says Brisco. “Both management and Local 480 can attest to the fact that it was a Progressive Conservative government that came through with the funding, and that the Liberals had absolutely nothing to do with it.” Brisco said he is disappointed that Jenkins would choose to distort an issue that had been settled early in the campaign. “Mr. Jenkins’s statement clearly demonstrates his ignroance of the complexity of the funding package and the long 18-month struggle to bring that funding to the Kootenays. He should admit that the Liberal government did nothing for the West, and that he has yet to give our local people a plan for the future of our economy.” Then tame the TV debates, and the polls’ went wild — an amazing Liberal surge. The surveys varied in the exact measure of support, but basically they indicated that Turnei's Liberals were in first place and Ed Broadbent's NDP had fallen back to third. The political parties commission their own polls, and it's a favorite trick to\leak favorable numbers to the media to offset those coming from other surveys. After Gallup put the Liberals far out front earlier this week, the Tories retorted that their private polling showed a much closer race — a contention supported by Reid and Environics in surveys published later. Brisco calls for ‘suspicious eye’ The voters of Kootenay West. Revelstoke should cast a suspicious eye towards the campaign promises of Liberal leader John Turner, says Kootenay West Conservative in cumbent Bob Brisco. “John Turner has gone on the most irresponsible spending spree ever seen in Canadian politics and he has steadfastly refused to give any an swers as to how he would pay for these promises,” Brisco said in a prepared release. Noting that the Liberal promises total over $37 Hillion, Brisoc says the Liberals would have three choices once in office. “They could either break their promises, increase taxes significant ly, or cut other programs,” says Brisco. “John Turner has failed to indicate which one of these paths he proposes to take.” The increased tax burden on Can. adian families would be $1,100, ac- cording to Brisco. However, Brisco ‘said the most cynical aspect of Turner's plans in his claim that he needs to “see the books” before costing out his prom ises, “The financial state of the gov. ernment of Canada is a matter of public record,” said Brisco, noting COMMUNITY Bulletin Board SELKIRK WEAVERS SALE AND EXHIBIT Preview and Fashion Show on Friday November 25 at 7:00 p.m. Tickets $5.00 from members.
