SPAWNING REDFISH . . . The West Kootenay's famous Kokanee trout, landlocked sockeye salmon which spend their entire lives in fresh water, are now spawning. And nowhere can they be seen in greater profusion than at the Meadow Creek Spawning Channel located in the Lardeau Valley north of Kalso. The spawning channel was

built in 1967 to replace a loss of Kokan occurred due to the building of the Duncan Dam. As many as one million Kokanee return each fall along with a few spawning Dolly Varden. The spawning habitat has been so successfully enhan- ced that more fish return than the channel and Upper Meadow Creek con support

Pollution issue explodes

OTTAWA (CP) Environmental issues exploded with new vengeance y in the House of Commons as opposition leaders accused Prime Minister Brian Mulroney of a death. bed repentance on environmental protection.

While the government announced an accelerated program to get lead out of gasoline, Opposition Leader John Turner charged that the Tories have gutted federal environmental

p es during their term in office.

When the prime minister came to power, he initiated a whole series of

. cuts in environmental programs,” Turner said, adding that Ottawa is now renewing some research pro- grams previously cancelled.

“Why, on the eve of an election, has the government announced . . new environmental programs? I wonder if all these deathbed rep entance programs wouldn't be slash ed if they were to win the next election?”

Montrea bounces St. Louis

MONTREAL (CP) — With little left on the line this season, Expos manager Buck Rodgers can sit back and make a few jokes, even at the expense of his own team

And that's exactly what Rodgers did after Montreal swept a two-game series from St. Louis by beating the Cardinals 7-1 in National League baseball action Tuesday night.

The Expos ended their season series against the defending league champions with a 13-5 record by virtue of the two convincing victor ies.

And as Montreal, which has strug gled offensively all season and was shut out for more than 22 innings before St. Louis hit town, outscored their visitors 21-3 in the two games, Rodgers managed a rare laugh

“Its time to break up the Expos,” he said, a wide grin on his face.

On a more serious note, Rodgers said the Expos’ sudden surge was the result of executing the way they should have been all year.

“We had guys going the other way with two strikes instead of pulling the ball, we advanced the runners when we had to, and we drove in guys with two outs,” he said.

While five of their runs were scored with two out, the Expos got their first pair before Larry Mc Williams could retire a batter in the fourth.

Andres Galarraga doubled home Tracy Jones for the first run and scored on a single by Hubie Brooks,

In the fifth, Otis Nixon drew two-out walk and Jones doubled him to third. St. Louis manager Whitey Herzog decided to bypass Galarraga, who has been a Cardinals killer for the last two seasons.

That brought up Brooks who responded with his 17th homer, a single-season high for him, and his fifth career grand slam

“I expected (the walk), because he plays the percentages,” Brooks said of Herzog. “You've got a guy in front of me who's almost Superman, who's been killing them all year.

“He'd proably do it again tomor row if he had to.”

Herzog agreed

“I had to get away from Galar. raga,” he said. “Even if he doesn’t hit the ball well, he seems to get a hit against us.’

The beneficiary of the offensive support was Pascual Perez, 11-6, who pitched shutout ball until Denny Walling singled home Ozzie Smith with two out in the eighth inning.

A crowd of 8,623 saw Perez pitch a seven-hitter for his third complete game as he stayed in command throughout the contest

EXPOS NOTES: Montreal has sent minor-league first baseman Jack Daughterty to the Texas Rangers organization to complete the deal that brought infielder Tom O'Malley to Montreal Left-handed pitcher Randy Johnson and infielder Johnny Paredes haye been called up by Montreal from its farm team in Indianapolis, which won the Class AAA-Alliance championship Tuesday's game was played ona wet field because the Olympic Installa tions Board, the body that runs Olympic Stadium, did a test raise of the roof late Monday night and forgot to inform the Expos. As a result, the club's grounds crew didn’t put the tarpaulin down. Naturally, it rained hard during the night

Dodgers beat Braves

By The Canadian Press

In the minds of the Los Angeles Dodgers, the pennant race is over.

“We're not really concerned with the pennant race,” Mike Scioscia said after hitting a two-run homer, leading the Dodgers past the Atlanta Braves 2-0 in National League baseball action Tuesday night.

“We're just going out there every game and playing good baseball. We're confident we're going to win, but we haven't painted ourselves into a corner and put pressure on ourselves.”

John Tudor, Ramon Martinez and Jay Howell combined on a two-hitter, the 19th shutout of the season for the Dodgers, who lead the Houston Astros by 6'/z games. Houston lost 5-2 to the Cincinnati Reds.

In other NL games Tuesday night, it was: Montreal Expos 7, St. Louis Cardinals 1; Pittsburgh Pirates 1, New York Mets 0; Chicago Cubs 9, Philadelphia Phillies 2; San Francisco Giants 4, San Diego Padres 1

Scioscia was starting behind the plate for the first time in five games due to a combination of bursitis in his left heel and a steady diet of left-handed starters.

He has to play the rest of the season with a specially-designed shoe that is partially cut away near the Achilles tendon to alleviate direct contact with the heel.

SCIOSCIA CONNECTS

“I'm not a home-run hitter, but it felt good to do something to contribute,” Scioscia said.

Tudor, 9-8 and 3-3 since coming to Los Angeles from St. Louis in the Pedro Guerrero deal, held the Braves to a first-inning leadoff single by Ron Gant and a two-out single in the fourth by Andres Thomas. Tudor struck out two and walked three in five innings, lowering his earned-run average to 2.27. He has allowed three earned runs in his 26 innings over four starts.

“He wasn't as sharp tonight as we know he can be and he wasn't feeling as strong,” Scioscia said. “It was just great that he went out there and battled them as hard as he did, because we needed it.”

Tudor was in the on-deck circle when Scioscia followed a one-gut walk to Jeff Hamilton with his third homer of the season and his first since June 27 in Houston. Having pitched enough innings to qualify for the victory, he decided to take himself out of the game for a pinch-hitter.

Martinez, making his sixth major league appear- ance and his first in relief, pitched two hitless innings and Howell finished with two hitless innings for his 19th save.

John Smoltz, 2-5, gave up five hits, struck out five and walked three in 5 1-3 innings. He has lost five of his six starts since winning his major league debut

PIRATES 1 METS 0

Bob Walk, 12-10, won for the first time since July 20 and Bobby Bonilla hit a run-scoring double as Pittsburgh stopped New York's five-game winning streak.

CUBS 9 PHILLIES 2

Greg Maddux won his first game since Aug. 10 and Damon Berryhill hit his first career grand slam as Chicago snapped a five-game losing streak. Maddux, 17-7 after a 15-3 start, allowed six hits in seven innings, struck out six and walked none.

Olympics covered

By BILL ANDERSON The Canadian Press

The Olympic Games and television — two perfect companions — meet again this week in South Korea, with CBC and NBC beginning hundreds of hours of coverage available to Canadian TV viewers.

Both networks are throwing about as much as they can afford at the Games, hoping to cover not only the sporting events but the entire spectacle of South Korea, its coming-out party and its outlaw neighbor to the north.

There's no comparing the resources available to the two broadcasters.

NBC, the richest TV network in the world, spent $300 million US for rights to the Summer Games and at least another $140 million on production costs.

CBC paid about $3.6 million US for Canadian broadcast privileges and says it will spend more than $20 million Cdn on coverage for TV and radio networks in both English and French.

RETURNS UNCLEAR

Profits on the venture are difficult to determine because TV coverage is used to promote future netowrk programs, thus creating so-called indirect revenue. NBC says it expects to make “a fair financial return,” while CBC says its advertising time is sold out and the English network will at least break even.

Canadian viewers, however, come out ahead regardless, having two of the world’s most capable broadcasters at the touch of their remote converters.

Both networks plan lengthy programs in each morning, late afternoon, prime time and late night — and most events will be broadcast live despite the difference in time between Asia and North America.

The time difference, in fact, is fairly easy to grasp and convenient for North American TV schedules.

Seoul is 14 hours ahead of Eastern time, so

viewers in this area simply change night to morning and add two hours. This means most prime-time events will be occurring live in Korea the following day.

CBC's English network begins its 184 hours of Olympic coverage Thursday with a two-hour Olympic Premiere program, followed in prime time Friday by the opening ceremonies.

Peter Mansbridge, anchor of The National news program, will share commentary Friday with Brian Williams, CBC's prime-time host during the Olympics, then return to Canada

Throughout the Games, The National will be broadcast across Canada at 10 p.m. EDT. The Journal will follow — except in Saskatchewan Alberta and British Columbia, where local news will appear instead

The Journal will appear at midnight in B.C. and 1 a.m. in Saskatchewan and Alberta

NBC's Olympic coverage will also begin with a preview show Thursday night, followed by the opening cremonies live on Friday night. Bryant Gumbel, co-host of the Today show, will be prime-time master of ceremonies during 179'/2 hours of NBC's Olympic programming

BEGINS FRIDAY

CBC's French TV network, carrying 162 hours of coverage, begins broadcasting Friday night with the opening ceremonies.

Coverage of actual sporting events begins = Saturday, but CBC will get the jump because of NBC's commitment in the afternoon to major league baseball.

For many Canadians, the most eagerly awaited event of the Games will appear Friday, Sept. 23, at about 8:30 p.m., when Ben Johnson of Canada and Carl Lewis of the United States race in the men's 100-metre dash.

Moses undaunted by age

CHIBA, JAPAN (AP) — Edwin Moses isn't worried about age eat ching up with him. It’s the young 400-metre hurdlers he's watching out for.

“T've been hearing that question for a long time,” Moses said when asked how much longer he would try and fend off his younger competitors. “I thing you should rephrase the question and ask how tong it will take the young guys to catch up to me.

“It's challenging to be 33 and have guys 21 and 22 chasing me,”

Moses has dominated the men's 400-metre intermediate hurdles since

1976, when he won the Olympic gold medal! at Montreal.

He also won the gold at the 1984 Los Angeles Games, broke the world record four times between 1976 and 1983, won the World Championship twice, the World Cup three times and took five national titles.

He compiled an amazing 122-race winning streak, meluding 107 finals, from 1977-87

In 1987, his 10-year streak was snapped by fellow American™Panny Harris, he fell in another race and he barely won the World Champion ships

“I could quit now and say I accom plished enough,” Moses said this week at the Nihon Aerobics Centre, where the United States and British teams are preparing for the Seoul Olympics.

“But why quit when I'm enjoying training so much?”

At the Seoul Games, he will be trying to become the first athlete in Olympic history to win three golds in a running event. He also has designs on lowering his world record of 47.02, and he’s proving it with blistering workouts.
