Steven Kinch was one of three volunteer workers hit by U.S. driver Willy T.

We didn’t do anything wrong,’’ Kinch said Tuesday. The yellow caution flag was up and race drivers were being direc- Driving mistake blamed in death ted to use a bypass when the workers went on to the course to push the stalled car, Kinch said. Kinch said at least one other car took the bypass before Ribbs’s car hit the turn. He dismissed suggestions that the course workers weren't following procedures. “Instead of the workers being the focus of the investigation, it should be on why Ribbs didn’t take the bypass,” said Kinch Race spokesman Sid Priddle says all available information has been given to the Vancouver city police, Upstarts cool U.S. OPEN NEW YORK (Reuter-CP) — American upstarts David Wheaton and Pete Sampras say they will come out relaxed and swinging today when they challenge former . champions John McEnroe and Ivan Lendl in the men’s quarter-finals of the U.S. Open. . “You have to treat it as another tennis match,’’ Wheaton said Tuesday after his first match ever against McEnroe, a four-time U.S. Open winner. ‘‘It’s just a tennis mat- ch. He may beat me in straight sets, or 1 might beat him in an unbelievable match.”" Sampras was equally cool about his prospects of ‘derailing Lendl, a three- time Open champion who has reached ight straight times. is what it is all about,’’ Sam- pras said of the most important Grand Slam test of his career. “I'll go in and swing away and put pressure on his backhand — chip and charge.’ Tuesday was a light day at the Open, as only two seeded players saw action. Eighth-seeded Mary Joe Fernandez of the United States qualified for the women’s semifinals, beating Manuela Maleeva-Fragniere of Switzerland 6- 2, 2-6, 6-1. Fifth-seeded Gabriela Sabatini of Argentina fought a 2%-hour test of wills with unseeded Leila Meskhi before winning 7-6 (7-5), 6-4. Canadians were busy in the junior ranks. Robert Janacek of Richmond Hill, Ont., and Daniel Nestor of Toronto, ranked to meet tlie Swedish pair Mar- tin Renstrom and Mikael Tillstrom in the boys’ doubles final, cruised easily to the second round. The Canadians dumped Oscar Ortiz and Marcelo Saliola of Brazil, 6-3, 6-2, while Ren- sttom and Tillstrom also advanced court The other women’s quarter-finals were today, with two-time defending champion Steffi Graf meeting No. 12 Jana Novotna of Czechoslovaki: and No..4 American Zina Garrison going against No. 6 Arantxa Sanchez- Vicario of Spain. Maleeva was upset at failing once again to advance past the quarter- finals in a-Grand Slam event. Nine times she has reached a Grand Slam quarter-final, including four—at—the U.S. Open, only to lose each time. “1 only blame myself,’ said Maleeva. ‘My strokes, my serve, everything. I’m so disappointed I lost. I really felt Tcould'’ ve won.”” Entertainment For Golden City Days TOMMY & THE T-BIRDS 50's & 60's Rock & Roll Band Thursday, Friday and Saturday Powder Keg Pub < DR.

Also repeating a past performance was former North American Sea Spray 15 champion Dave West of Osoyoos as he won the multihulls event for the sixth time. Michael Riemann of Cranbrook edged out teammate Jon Rutledge, and Dean Greentree of Cowichan Bay, for the title in the dinghy class. Johnson, with crew of Don Flet- cher of Trail and Doug McKay of Rossland, beat Castlegar’s Randy Frost who sailed a Martin 242 and Ed Blain in a Tanser 22. Mike Rowe of Trail was fourth. West was one of six Sea Spray 15 (a type of craft) sailors from Osoyoos. Two of his teammates, Keith Hesje and Stan Storwick, finished second and third respectively. Two Hobie catamarans challenged the Sea Spray 15s, with Steve Warren and Linda Fichton setting the pace in those crafts. In the laser dinghy event Robin Siggers of Fernie came first, Barry Jones of Kimberley second and Liz Vanderkruk of Marysville was third, Sonni Greene of Kootenay Bay won the sailboard event on a Mistral. In the Gray Creek handicap race, Frost was the winner in cruisers and Siggers came back to win it in short course in the children’s class, David Cardew of Rossland was first, Fawn Schutter of Gray Creek second and Cameron Wallace of Riondel Road was third.

CosNews photo by Ed Mills Healthy holiday pay for Tahoe By ED MILLS Staff Writer Sometimes it pays to work on holidays Just ask the players on the Lake Tahoe Stars who mixed work with play and picked up $12,000 for their efforts on Labor Day by winning the Grand Forks International baseball tournament. Portland Taylor Electric, who lost to Tahoe 3-2 in the final, also knows why the 12-team tourney is considered the largest of its kind in North America after the team collected a holiday payday of $6,000. The five-day tourney’s largest crowd of 3,000-plus looked on Mon- day at James Donaldson Park as Tahoe’s former major. league pitcher Ron Silvia (Toronto Blue Jays, California Angels) held the powerful Portland hitters in check to get the win. Portland pitcher Jim Hutcheson was yanked in the first inning and took the loss. Tahoe lost just once in six games. That the tournament's top two teams were in the final was apparent in the all-star selections as Tahoe and Portland players landed all but one Position. ‘Todd Adlem of Surrey Sports prevented the sweep being named the best left-handed pitcher of the tour- nament. Tahoe's Mike Brocki batted .450 with nine hits, scored seven runs and line for Gastineau the former NFL all-star was released by the team and waived through the CFL. Reinhart calls it quits VANCOUVER (CP) — Defen- ceman Paul Reinhart of the Van- couver Canucks retired today after 11 seasons in the NHL He announced his decision two days before the Canucks were scheduled to report to training camp in Victoria. The 30-year-old native of Kit- chener, Ont., played two seasons with the Canucks after nine years with the Flames, one in Atlanta and cight in Calgary. Vancouver obtained Reinhart two years ago from the Flames for a third- round draft choice. He played with a chronic lower back condition for several years and indicated the injury became worse last season Reinhart had 133 goals and 426 assists in 648 NHL games. He had 13 goals and 57 points last season in 67 games. PAUL REINHART will be missed The 33-year-old defensive end failed to keep a morning appointment with head coach Lary Kuharich. He cleared CFL waivers at 4 p.m. EDT, unclaimed by the other seven teams. “IT don't know where he is,’ Kuharich said after practice. ‘It's over, I guess." Gastineau played 10 seasons with the New York Jets and performed in five Pro Bowl Games before walking out on the NFL team during the 1988 season The Lions signed Gastineau before the 1990 CFL season at the insistence of owner Murray Pezim; the Van couver stock promoter who backed Gastineau’s bid to become a pro boxer Gastineau played four league games for the Lions and was credited with a shared quarterback sack before going on the injured list in early August with a rib cartilage problem. The Eagar, Okla., native did not practitgMonday following the Lions’ humiliating * 68-43 road loss last weekend to the Toronto Argos. Kuharich had not allowed Gastineau to practice before a road trip last week Gastineau telephoned a local radio station Monday night during an open- line show featuring Pezim. “I want the fans to know what's really happening,’ he said. ‘‘The coach didn’t talk to me. “It seems the faster they get rid of me, the better it will be.”” Pezim did not talk with Gastineau during the radio show. Last week he threatened to fire general manager Joe Kapp and Kuharich, but changed his tune later in the week Gastineau reported to training camp in June with an ankle injury af ter tripping over a sprinkler while jogging at his Scottsdale, Ariz., home. “ He made his regular-season debut July 13 against Calgary and was ejec- ted on the way to the dressing room at halftime following a fight with several of the Stampeders Gastineau suffered the rib injury in the fourth game Aug. 2 against the Saskatchewan Roughriders and was placed on the 30-day injured reserve list. The Lions are last in the West Division of the CFL with a 2-6-1 record, including three straight defeats, at the halfway mark in the schedule. “*We have no place on the roster for Mark, so he’s his own man," Kapp said. ‘‘He made a valiant effort, but it’s just not there.” stole three bases in six games to cop the most valuable player honor. Poriland catcher Randy Rutchman had a hit once every two times at the plate for a .S00 average as the tour ney’s top batter Even a couple of major league teams may have picked up some gems in the tournament which this year was dubbed ‘‘Canada’s Diamond in the Rough.” No less than 12 major league teams sent scouts to the event, including the Blue Jays and Montreal Expos. The Expos scouted and signed Maple Ridge’s Larry Walker in ‘the tour- nament in 1985 and the Blue Jays discovered John Olerud — currently in his rookie season with the team — in Grand Forks in 1987 and 1988. The Major League Scouting Bureau, which reports to all teams, also had a representative at the tourney Tournament organizer Larry Seminoff said the scouts were “drooling over"? two Washington State prospects — pitcher Arron Sele and catcher Scott Hatterburg. “Those are two players who will be picked in the first or second round of the draft — no later than the second round,”*’ said Seminoff. Washington state finished forth in the tournament behind Seattle. The teams picked up $2,000 and $4,000 respectively. Lewiston, Spokane and Surrey all collected $1,200 to round out the “top eight who made the money round Idaho, San Diego, New York, Grand Forks and the Can-Am team finished in that order and made $200 each, putting them $600 in the hole after subtracting the $800 entry fee. The Grand Forks Gold was out of the running after losing its first two games but played spoiler in its third game by eliminating the semi-pro San Diego Stars with a 2-1 victory Lack of fans has organizer miffed By ED MILLS Staff Writer Disappointing crowds of less than 200 on some days at the Grand Forks Labor Day baseball tournament has prompted chief organizer Larry Seminoff to say he’s considering radically changing the format of the tournament next year Seminoff said changes would in- clude dropping the prize money and number of teams involved and making the tourney just for collegiate teams from the U.S. “It's just an option at this point I'm going to sit back, take stock and evaluate what took place this year But I’m not going to make any rash decisions, not yet. I'm going to wait a few days and try to bring some com mon sense into this,”’ he said Seminoff said the tourney started off well with a record crowd on opening day last Wednesday and en. ded with a good crowd for the final. It was the days in between that hurt.” Though final totals weren't in Tuesday, Seminoff said attendance was “‘well below’’ last year’s mark of 30,000. “*L guess what that tells me is that the local fan at least is not so much in- terested in the sport of baseball as a sport but for the novelty of it,"’ he said. ‘‘What I mean by that is that fans came out in droves with Taiwan and Japan here last year, and this year, when we didn’t get Taiwan and Japan, they didn’t come. ““When you have the calibre of play we showcased this yea stings, it really does.”
