Two of the problems — how to distribute tickets fairly and what to do about Mount Allan, the troubled Olympile ski hill —resurfaced last month. 7

At the same time, it was learned some hoteliers are planning big price increases during the Games next February. ‘

The city’s top hotels are under contract to Olympic organizers and have agreed not to charge more than 10 per cent over normal peak‘rates set for the annual Calgary Stampede.

But smaller hotels and motels are under no such restrictions. Some owners say they expect to have ‘no trouble finding takers at $126 or $150 a night for rooms that

But the mayor said this week the hotel industry appears willing to regulate itself to prevent excessive room rates.

While it appears gouging can be avoided, the ticketing and Mount Allan problems won't be as easy to solve.

Since order forms were distributed Sept. 30, officials have had one headache after another over tickets.

A massive first-day public order and heavy allocation of seats to privileged insiders meant there were not nearly enbugh tickets to the most popular events, such as figure skating and medal-round hockey.

West German rink winning

By GRANT KERR VANCOUVER (CP) — When the young West Germany rink lost three straight games at the start of the world men's curling championship, they almost wrote themselves off as contenders for a playoff berth.

But after six wins in their next seven games, the foursome skipped by Saskatchewan native Rodger Schmidt found th in y's semi ing two straight wins Friday over Jim Vukich of the United States.

“You have to be a bit fortunate to get this far,” said Schmidt, 34, born in Neudorf, Sask. “We had to forget about those early losses and get our game back together.”

Schmidt and his third Wolfgang Burba, second Johnny Jahr and lead Joachim Burba were shooting high percentages when they twice beat the Americans on last-shot heroics by Schmidt.

During the ninth draw in the morning, Germany needed an extra end to beat the U.S. 8-7 on Schmidt's.open takeout which left both rinks with 54 records and forced a tie-breaker for fourth place. .

Schmidt was deadly again in the evening and made a difficult takeout in the four foot with last rock to count two for a 7-5 decision.

Heisman winner

The Germans played first-place Norway, 8-1, in one semifinal today while second-place Canada, 7-2 opposed Denmark, 6-8, in the other semi. The championship game will be today at B.C. Place Stadium.

“To. win twice by one rock, you have to be a bit fortunate,” added Schmidt, who moved to Germany in 1984 when his wife accepted a teaching position. “The Americans missed some shots which gave us second chances.”

Vukich predicted Norway will win the championship because the Oslo rink skipped by Eigil Ramsfjell is “the strongest and has the best shooters,”

“We had the Germans on the ropes a few times,” Vukich said, “But we just couldn't put them away.”

Norway won its seventh straight in the morning with a \64 victory over Gert Larsen of Denmark. The Danes had ‘earlier qualified for the playoffs for just the second time.

“I also believe Norway will win the playoffs,” said Larsen. “We're not as good as the Norwegian team at the draw game.”

Ramsfjell said he was pleased his rink didn’t have to play Canada in the semifinals because Norway's only loss in the round robin was to Russ Howard's foursome from Penetanguishene, Ont.

“T'm satisfied because this is the first time Norway has

“We've curling really well when we've felt comfortable with the rocks and ice,” said Howard: “The curling this week has been pretty unpredictable under these conditi ind wouldn't be surprised to see the favorite (Norway) have problems.”

Howard said ice conditions which hampered play in earlier draws was much better during the fifth day of the week-long tournament when the temperature dropped.

The Howard rink has a good record in playoffs this year, having defeated Paul Savage and Ed Werenich in Ontario and Bernie Sparkes in the Canadian championship.

“We're pretty confident because the only team in theplayoffs to beat us is Germany,” said Canadian second Tim Belcourt. “Norway looks pretty good right now and we'd like to play them in the finals.”

In other ninth-round games, Goran Roxin of Sweden defeated Jean-Francois Orset of France 6-3 and Grant McPherson of Scotland got past Bob Martin of England 7-3.

TAMPA, FLA. (AP) — Unlike a year ago when Bo Jackson quit a promising football career to play base- ball, this year’s Heisman Trophy winner ‘will play pro football.

Quarterback Vinny Testa- verde, the 1986 Heisman winner as the top U.S. col- lege player, has signed a multi-year contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.’

He'll be the club’s first pick in this month's NFL draft. Owner Hugh Culverhouse made the announcement Fri-

Terms of the contract Tes- taverde signed Thursday were not revealed, but it is thought that he will receive $8.2 million over six years, including a $2-million signing bonus.

An accident Wednesday sent a steel cable plummeting from the top of the tower to the roof which was lying on the floor below. The cable

“It's quite close — but everything should be ready,” said Durand.

SCOTLAND (AP) — At least 20 fans from two rival Glasgow soccer teams hurled tables and chairs during a brief skirmish aboard a ferry carrying passengers across the Irish Sea between Larne, in Northern Ireland, and the Scottish port city of Stranraer.

Police said there were no arrests or injuries reported from the incident after crew members on the Sealink ferry Dearnia broke up the fight. An investigation was launched.

Authorities said the fans were en route to Saturday's game in Glasgow between the two city rivals, won by Celtic 3-1, when the fighting broke out.

Celtic, an all-Catholic side, and Rangers, all protestants, are rapidly followed in religiously divided Northern Ireland. The fight was quickly squelched, a spokesman for the ferry service said, but many bystanders were visibly shaken and had to be calmed by the boat's crew.

ROGER CLEMENS

- REJOINS RED SOX

WIINTER HAVEN, FLA. (AP) — Roger Clemens ended a 29-day walkout and rejoined the Boston Red Sox on Saturday after meetings arranged by baseball commissioner Peter Ueberroth with club co-owner Haywood Sullivan.

“T'm ready to pitch, I want to get started right away,” Clemens said at a news conference before the American League team broke training camp.

Randy Hendricks, Clemens’s agent, said “a number of issues” remain to be resolved in a two-year contract, but the “important thing is for Roger to get on with the season.”

Clemens, the 1986 AL Most Valuable Player and Cy Young Award winner, said he hoped to accompany the team on a chartered flight Saturday night to Milwaukee, but the Red Sox wanted to see him in action before booking him

passage. .

While the Red Sox headed to Lakeland for their exhibition finale against the Detroit Rigers, Clemens remained at Chain O'Lakes Park to pitch for Boston minor leaguers against Harvard University.

“We'll see how he looks and then make a decision on what is best for him,” Boston manager John McNamara said.

2 COACH GRINS

Pitching coach Bill Fischer, gloomy over pitcher Dennis (Oil Can) Boyd's trip to Boston for examination of an ailing shoulder, broke into a big grin when he saw Clemens.

“Now we're right there,” Fischer said in looking ahead to Boston's defence of the American League pennant “We've just improved our chances by 24 games.”

Clemens, who had a 24-4 record in his second full season while pitching the Red Sox to their first championship in 11 years in 1986, appeared as fit as when he walked out of training camp March 6 when contract neogitations broke down.

“T'm very happy that things are-stafting to work out,” he said. “Now I want to get back to doing what I do best, playing baseball.”

Ineligible for arbitration because he was 30 days shy of being a three-year major leaguer, Clemens threatened to sit out the 1987 season as negotiations between Hendricks and general manager Lou Gorman broke down.

Hendricks, a business partner with his brother, Alan, asked for a two-year, $2.4 million contract — $1 million for 1987, $1.4 million for 1988.

The Red Sox started with an offer of $500,000 and $350,000 in incentive money.

The two sides remained far apart, as Hendricks refused to budge in demanding a two-year contract and the Red Sox stuck to their basic salary offer for one year. The club's only change was increasing incentive money to: $475,000 and making some of it easier to collect.

New child abuse system

REGINA (CP) — Govern- ment agencies and city police have designed a new system for -handling complaints of child abuse, says ‘a Crown prosecutor.

Bill Tymchyshyn . said Thursday the objective is to reduce victim trauma and improve investigation of al- leged assaults.

The new policy — to be fol- lowed by police, the Social Services and Justice Depart- ments — has not received final approval yet.

But when implemented, it, would result in better co- ordination between organiza- tions which handle the grow- ing number of sexual and physical abuse cases involv- ing children, he sai din an interview.

Hotel

Tymchyshyn expects the pilot project to provide a team approach to handling complaints “so victims don’t feel the system isn't helping them.”

Staff Sgt. Marv Malnyk, head of the city police vice section, sai da child in the past would sometimes have to make his complaint to a teacher or counseller, then a social worker and then to the police.

GOING CRAZY

“We went and did our thing and everyone else did their own thing, not con- sidering we did overlapping work,” Malnyk said. “It was a matter of the child going crazy with all the people he had to talk to.”

EDMONTON (CP) — Tours will be lost and staff laid off unless a scheduled five-per-cent hotel tax is postponed or cancelled, say hotel and tourist operators.

Hotel owners say the June 1 start of the tax has hurt business because charter tours booked months ago did not anticipate the levy.

The province's fragile tour- ist industry will be damaged even further by increases in aleohol and gasoline taxes and a 10-per-cent spending cut in the Tourism Depart- ment, several hotel and tour- ist operators said.

Jim Hanson, executive dir ector of the Alberta Hotel Association, said: a major

mutual suspicion between police and social workers, he added.

“We felt Social Services may have been interviewing the child before we had a chance to do so and im- planting ideas that might not have been there before. And I'm sure Social Services felt we didn’t have the interests of the children at heart.”

Malnyk said under the new system, part of which has al- ready been implemented, th epolice and a social worker interview a child together.

The new approach pre- vents duplication and helps police get information from children more willing to open up to.a social worker than a constable, he said.

Malnyk said a suggestion by Mr. Justice LT. McLellan during a sexual assault trial last month that prosecutors interview child abuse com- plainants before charges are laid is “great.”

But he added there are not enough. Crown attorneys to enable them to get involved in the case at that stage.

Prosecutors’ heavy work- loads often mean they don’t directly hear the alleged vic- tim's story until they are in court.

Malnyk said if a child's testimony is too weak to support a conviction, it is usually because parents or others involved in the case have put pressure on the youngster to change his or her story.

Japan's economy worst in 12 years gone tomorrow

TOKYO (REUTER) — Japan's economy turned in its worst performance in 12 years in 1986, as the strong yen hurt the country’s ex- ports and sapped. business confidence, the government said Tuesday.

The Economic Plannng Agency said economic growth slowed last year to 2.5 per cent. That is down

from 4.7 per cent in 1985.

The 1986 figure was the worst since 1974, when the country’s economy buckled under the impact of the first oil price shock.

The news is likely to in- crease both overseas and do- mestic pressure on the gov- ernment to take action to boost the sagging econonty, private economists said.

Waxing at Asissi Skin Care Studio

Hair today,

A ‘peculiar custom, particular to the human

Species, is the periodic removal of certain areas of body hair. In earliest civilizations, ‘people rubbed hair otf with pumice-type stones or plucked it out with clam shells. Modern folk interested in hair removal have five basic Hit having, chemical depilation, elec- trolysis, tweezing and waxing. Of all these five methods WAXING receives the number one approval at the Asissi Skin Care Studio, 1480 Columbia Avenue, Castlegar.

Darleen Ward, the Esthetician, at Asissi (situated in the Avenues building) states “if you're shaving, your probably spending more time using a razor than the man in your lite.” Shqving cuts off hair at the skin surface causing the hair to grow in quickly, bristly and coarse. With waxing the regrowth is soft, ai delicate and over a period of time many hairs will never grow .

Anyone who has pulled off a bandage has some idea how waxing works.

The basic principle of waxing is that a special wax which adheres to the hair is heated and applied to the body surface by an Esthetician in a private treatment room. A strip of muslin is pressed on the wax and quickly removed. The follicles then require 14 to 60

jays to restart a hair.

What ateas can be waxed? Anywhere you have unwanted hair upper or lower legs, bikini line,

h ie ms, upper lip, eyeb arms. Who can have this treatment? All women, haga. ah men too! For men, eyebrows, neckline or can be waxed,

Prices are reasonable. Phone for a consultation or appointment with Darleen Ward at 365-7616.
