VANCOUVER (CP) — The legen: dary lake monster Ogopogo, believed by some to lurk in the depths of Okanagan Lake, may be a huge river otter, scientists say A group of biologists, zoologists and oceanographers watched a video made by Ken Chaplin, a former car salesman, who says he saw the creature onatleast five different daysin July Fhe—scientists—say—if —Chaplin’s the creature's size is correct, it's far larger than the biggest known river otter “If it is a 15-foot otter then you've got a spectacular find,” said Jeff Marliave, research scientist at the Van couver Public Aquarium Wildlife reference books say the largest male river otter is 4.5 feet witha 20-inch tail Don Eastman was so intrigued by what he saw he has asked Chaplin to bring his video shot in the Okanagan about 240 kilometres east of Vancouver to Victoria for a viewing by governme What! more like a mammal than a said Eastman, manager of and development in the

For most pro-hockey hopefuls, the start of training camp means hitting the ice as hard as you can. But for two Castlegar natives, plying their talents in the U.S. training camp also means hitting the books once again

“It gets pretty tough,”” said 21-year-old Kelly Hurd, who, along with teammate Darcy Martini, retur ned to Michigan Technological University classes on Sept. 3 to continue their marketing programs. Two weeks later, they were lacing up their skates as members of the Michigan Tech Huskies.

Both share not only the same roof in Houghton Mich., but also many future aspirations

Martini, a 20-year-old defenceman, was selected in the eighth round of this year’s National Hockey League entry draft by the Edmonton Oilers.

Hurd, a right winger, was taken in last year’s draft when the Detroit Red Wings made him their seventh: round pick

However, both NHL clubs have advised their selec tions to stay in school and finish their education before shooting fora hockey career. For Hurd and Martini that decision may prove to be a wise choice, but for the NHL clubs it also enables them to develop the players without dishing out any contract money

‘I talked with the Oilers and I considered going to the Western Hockey League,"’ Martini said in an inter view with the Castlegar News Thursday

“But we discussed the pros and cons and they thought it would be better for me to stay in school. If | played in the WHL then the Oilers would have to offer mea contract.”

If the Oilers failed to sign Martini, he would then

Hurd also received the same words of advice from the Detroit organization.

“It’salso a chance to mature a little mor of his playing days in college

Being so close to the Detroit area, the Red Wing scouts have kept close tabs on their prospect

“We've talked on and off quitea bit,”

But for now, both are gearing up for the upcoming season. Last year the Huskies were knocked out of the playoffs in the first round and the coaching staff has brought in some new faces.

“We've lost seven seniors from last year’s team,”” said Martini, who'll be heading into his second season as a Husky

“This year, we have a lot of small forwards, but we picked up some big defencemen.’

The coaching staff at Michigan Tech has shown an affinity towards Western Canada shinny stars. This year, four more Western Canadians have been invited to

‘Right now we have 35 players in camp,"’ Hurd said. ‘* But we plan to keep about 30.""

Making the Huskies lineup means competing at the

top level of scholastic hockey in the U.S We're the only Division One sport in the school, so we’ re pretty well known,”’ Hurd said

After last year’s strong performance, Hurd may soon be recognized in Detroit as well. He was the third leading scorer with the Huskies last year potting 18 goals and 14 assists in 42 games. Hurd also ted the team in power play goals with 10

With the season set to begin in mid-October, the players are slowly getting into shape
