Hobart now in
Saskatchewan

REGINA (CP) — Three seasons
ago, Ken Hobart was a Schenley
award finalist and a starting quar-
terback in the Grey Cup. Today he’s
in Regina as an insurance policy for
the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

The Canadian Football League
team signed Hobart when starting
quarterback Kent Austin was placed
on the 30-day injury list this week
with cartilage damage to his right
knee.

reserve list of the National Football
League's San Diego Chargers when
the Riders called, will not dress for
Sunday's game against the British
Columbia Lions at Taylor Field. He
becomes Saskatchewan's third-string
quarterback behind starter Tom
Burgess and backup Jeff Bentrim.

The journey to Saskatchewan is
just another leg on a long, strange
trip for Hobart. In 1985, his first
year in the CFL, he led the Hamilton
Tiger-Cats to the Grey Cup where
they lost a 37-24 decision| to the
Lions.

In 15 games that season, Hobart
threw 19 touchdown passes, scored
six himself and was named out
standing player in the Eastern
division.

His career then unravelled like a
cheap sweater. Hobart lost his start-
ing job to Mike Kerrigan the fol
lowing year.

POINT FINGERS

“I wasn’t playing that badly but we
lost four of our first five,” Hobart
said. “When you're losing, people
start pointing fingers and the first
place they point is the quarterback.

Last season, Hobart broke his leg
in the second game and played little
after that.

‘The Peak of Winter Recreation in the Kootenays!”’

Ref's

book tells

of NHL experience

Former referee Bruce Hood has blown the
whistle on a few NHLers in his new book,
Memoires Of An NHL Referee.

Hood takes aim at Chris Nilan of the New York
Rangers, saying “there are few players I had less
respect for than Nilan.

Hood also has a few uncomplimentary words
about Ken (The Rat) Linesman of the Boston Bruins.

“When he (Linseman) absolutely has to pair off
with somebody, he goes looking for the other team’s
Lady Byng candidate.

The Lady Byng is awarded to the league's most
gentlemanly player.

Detroit's Peter Klima and Bob Probert,
suspended for a time by the Red Wings because of
drinking problems, both tested negative in drug
tests recently.

“Klima was tested more recently and Probert
just before that,” says Jim Lites, the Red Wings’
executive vice-president. “They took the initiative.”

Klima says he decided to volunteer for the tests
amid rumors of cocaine dependency.

Remember Mike Zanier? Don't be surprised if
you don't. The goaltender played all of three games
in the 1984-85 season, and had a 1-1-1 record.

What distinguishes him is that he was the last
Edmonton OiJers goalie to lose to Vancouver until
Wednesday when the Canucks managed a 6-2
vietory.

Zanier was in net when the Oilers lost 6-3 on
March 10, 1985. The winning goal was scored by Al
McAdam, now hockey coach at. Saint Thomas
University in Frederigton.

The Los Angeles Kings traded~for Wayne
Gretzky to help fill the stands at the Forum. And it
cost Gretzky an estimated $1,000 to help make the
Kings home opener a sellout.

“We had 60 or 70 tickets left in the afternoon,”
says owner Bruce McNall. “Wayne bought them and
gave them to some kids from an orphanage.”

The Washington Capitals recently sent out a
questionnaire to current and former players. One of
the queries asked what was the funniest moment as a

One player remembered a team meeting just
before the Capitals lost their 15th consecutive game
soon after joining the league.

“Guys, let's not get down,” recalled the player
about what a teammate said. “We are a good team,
but we are in the wrong league.”

St. Louis forward Mike Bullard and Blues
assistant coach Bob Berry didn’t see eye to eye when
they were with the Pittsburgh Penguins two years
ago. ’

. According to historians, an argument went
something like this:

“Do you have a problem?” asked Berry.

“Yeah,” replied Bullard. “Fourth line; is this
a joke?”

“The way you're playing is a joke,” said Berry.

“Your coaching is a joke,” shot back Bullard.

The next day, Bullard was stripped out of his
captaincy and traded to Calgary. After the Flames
dealt him to St. Luis, Berry called him up and they
buried the hatchet.

“Bob and I both kind of chuckled when I first ran
into him,” says Bullard. “What is in the past is
forgotten.”

Oilers coach and general manager Glen Sather
was walking around with an ice pack on his face a few
days ago after dental surgery.

“I don't think I have ever had anything that hurt
like this, not even losing teeth in a game,” said
Sather.

Still, he had some fun moments in his misery,
conning rookie defenceman Chris Joseph into
believing he had been in a bar-room brawl.

“I told him I broke the guy's nose and arms,”
laughed Sather.

Calgary defenceman Jamie Macoun says he's
noticed a difference in the league since his return
from arm and shoulder problems.

He's having problems determing what the
referees are calling for penalties.

“Before, you were lucky to have 10. penalties
called a whole game,” says Macoun. “Now, almost
every night, it seems you either are playing 30

Capital.

minutes on the power play or killing penalties.”

Baseball salaries costly

NEW YORK (AP) — New York
Mets catcher Gary Carter was base-
ball's highest-paid player this season
with earnings of $2,360,714, says a
survey in USA Today.

Carter, whose income included
$200,000 in bonuses, was one of 11
major leaguers to earn $2 million or
more in 1988. Seventy-one players
earned at least $1 million.

St. Louis shortstop Ozzie Smith
was No. 2 on the list with earnings of
$2,340,000, while Philadelphia third
baseman Mike Schmidt was third
with $2,250,000, of which $100,000
was donated in his name to charity.

Other members of the $2-million
club were Jim Rice of Boston,
$2,214,865; Eddie Murray of Balti.
more, $2,142,904;-George Brett of
Kansas City, $2,138,661; Rick Sut-
cliffe of the Chicago Cubs, $2,070,000;
Fernando Valenzuela of the Los An
geles Dodgers, $2,050,000; Dale
Murphy of Atlanta, $2 million; Don
Mattingly of the New York Yankees,
$2 million; and Jack Clark of the
Yankees, $2 million.

Salaries are based on documents
filed with the Major League Baseball
Players Association, the Major
League Player Relations Committee,
and information from team officials
and players’ agents.

The figures include base salaries

and regular-season performance bo-
nuses.

The highest-paid Montreal Expo
was outfielder Tim. Raines, who
earned $1,666,333. Hubie Brooks and
Tim Wallach were next at $850,000
followed by Dennis Martinez at
$735,000. Three players — Joe Hes-
keth, Rex Hudler and Pascual Perez
— earned bonuses, with Perez get-
ting the most, $100,000, for a
$170,000 total salary.

Left fielder George Bell was the
highest-paid Toronto Blue Jay in
1988, earning $1.9 million. Right
fielder Jesse Barfield was next witha
salary of $1.4 million, followed by
pitchers Dave Stieb, $950,000, and
Jim Clancy, $900,000. The only Blue
Jay to pick up a bonus was centre
fielder Lloyd Moseby, who had a base
salary of $857,500 and increased it to
$882,500 with a $25,000 bonus.

Clark the Yankees designated
hitter, was the top bonus earner with
$500,000. He received $100,000 each
for being available to play in 110, 120,
130, 140 and 145 games.

California's Tony Armas had a
base salary of $100,000, but earned
more than three times that
($325,000) in bonuses.

Milwaukee's Paul Molitor earned
$350,000 in bonuses on top of his
$1.4-million salary, while Brett added

$300,000 to his $1,838,661 salary.

Sixteen Seattle players earned
bonuses, most in the majors.

Oakland, the American League
champion, had 15 bonus earners.
Dave Henderson of the Athletics
matched his $225,000 salary in
bonuses.

Boston allocated the most for
incentives, $4,360,000.

Hockey

stabbed

KAMLOOPS (CP) — A player with
the Spokane Chiefs of the Western
Hockey League was in a Spokane
hospital Thursday recovering from
stab wounds suffered during a party.

Bob Platzer, 18, was in satisfactory
condition after a five-hour operation,
officials said.

Anthony Witten, a football player
with Eastern Washington University
has been charged with first-degree

Births &
Funerals

By TED BRISTOW

_ Castlegar United Church

Last Monday, Thanksgiving Day, I
went for a walk. I was high enough to
look over our valley, and it was
wonderful.

Many people find the fall the
best time of the year. The air is
comfortably cool. The sky is often
clear and the sun bright during our
Indian summer season. And then
there are the colors.

The colors were beautiful, as I
looked over the valley. The yellows
and oranges stood out and bright-
ened up the whole setting. Up close,
those same crisp colors of the dying
leaves almost sparkled in their final
display of life.

I remembered once writing about
the brave acceptance of death as an
autumn-like display at the end of life.
I was thinking about a wonderful

pioneer of this area whose process of
dying was a comfort to friends and
family, and one final outburst of a
beautiful spirit. -

People often approach death like
that. Not always, but often.

One of the privileges in my job as a
minister is to get close to people
during the final stages of their lives.
It's a privilege, because so often I

way as the dying leaves make the fall
such a wonderful season.

In fact, it seems the nearness of
death often releases a person from
now unimportant preoccupations
that must clutter our lives during the
earlier, busier stages of living, and
this release leaves time for the dying
to be just themselves, as they most
honestly and finally want to be. My
life has often been graced by

Hydro pays for
fish pen repair

By CasNews Staff

The Castlegar and District Wildlife
Association has secured about 20,000
Gerrard rainbow trout in its net pen
located at Scotties Marina of the
Lower Arrow Lake.

The fish were placed in the pen
Oct. 5, and over the winter the fish
will grow to eight to 10 centimetres
before being released in June.

The operation will have released
more than 50,000 trout into the
Arrow Lakes tributaries by the end
of this season.

The Association received $1,000
from B.C. Hydro to repair the net
pen.

The net pen was damaged last year
as a result of reservoir drawdown by
the Crown corporation, combined
with a winter storm.

At a recent meeting in Castlegar

Care grant received

The Trail and District Palliative
Care Program Senior's Committee
has received a $12,380 federal New
Horizons grant for a community
project.

The group will use the contribution
to enhance its palliative care service.
Aprpoximately 90 seniors trained as
hospice and grief support volunteers
will work in the communities of Trail,
Rossland, Fruitvale, Montrose and
Genelle, offering support to terminal.

recently bereaved.

Fifteen seniors groups in the
province received a total of $223,156

program in October.

Department of National Health and
Welfare which funds projects by
groups of seniors enabling them to
remain active and involved in their

knowing people during this final
stage.

Of course, it's not all beautiful.
‘4 ve's often the physical pain.
There's the sad goodbye to the
familiar and cherished. There's the
suffering of watching family and
friends grieve at your leaving them.

But there's also this beauty in the
final display of life.

And, of course, there's next spring,
when, after the death of winter, life
will burst forth once again. For
nature, as we know it, that means
more of the same, another of the
endless go-arounds of the seasons.
For humans, spring means coming
alive in a new dimension beyond even
our present ability to comprehend.

At least, that’s what it means for
lots of people. Some, sadly, choose
not to accept the grace of God's
life-giving love. What spring will be
like for them, we're not sure
Hopefully, it will mean a repentance
of their resistance, a welcoming of
mercy, and a new growth of worship
and faith. But there's enough in the
Scriptures about the finality of what
we do to ourselves in this life not to
count on an after-death repentance.
This life is decidedly the time and
place to open our hearts to God.

The beautiful, fall-like people last
Monday made me think of, have
opened themselves to God, and
therefore also to the mystery of
death, as earlier to the challenges of
life.

Their dying is beautiful.
spring will surely be glorious.
