Martini collects hattrick

By The Canadian Press

Former Castlegar Rebel Darcy Martini scored a hat- trick Friday to help lead the Vernon Lakers to a 7-1 win over the Buckaroos in Sum- merland, in B.C. Junior Hoc key League action.

Delta Flyers coach Rick Hopper says he has good reason to downplay his B.C.J.H.L. club's _record- tying, 14-game winning streak. It is only October.

“It’s not really important

.” Hopper said Friday

is club downed the Kelowna Packers 7-2 to move to 14-0 and tie the Langley Eagles mark set in 1983-84. “We're enjoying it but we don't win championships in the first half of the season.”

Hopper, a 32-year-old na- tive of Thornhill, Ont., who coached for several seasons in the Ontario Colleges Ath- letic Association, said he re- cruited ‘high character’ players in the summer, add- ing that they have adapted well to his system.

Jeff Nottingham led the attack against the Packers, scoring twice and assisting on two others. Brian Bet: hard, Todd Voshell, Doug MacDonald, Shane Henry and Scott Frizzell also scored for the Flyers.

By CasNews Staff

Former Castlegar Rebel forward Kelly Hurd has been signed to play for the Michigan Technological University hockey team of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association. The team is based in Houghton, Michigan.

Hurd, a right winger, played the last two seasons with the Kelowna Packers

of the B.C. Junior Hockey League.

Michigan coach Herb Boxer said he is pleased with Hurd’s performance so far.

“It's always tough for a freshman to come in and play right away in the WCHA but we've been very happy with Kelly's progress and he will likely play some for us this year,” said Boxer.

Royals beat Blazers

CRANBROOK, B.C. (CP) — Aaron Armstrong stored four goals Friday to lead the Cranbrook Royals to a 96 win over the Elk Valley Blazers in the opening game of the Western International Hockey League season.

Brent Demerais scored twice for the Royals, who scored five times on the power play and broke open a 4-4 game with five goals in

the final period.

Terry Allison, Wayne Mac Farlane and Mark Selva also scored for the winners. Troy Travis and John Hart each scored twice for the Blazers, while John Bunn and Kevin Mitchell added singles.

The WIHL has been re- duced to just three teams this season — the Kimberley Dynamiters are the other franchise — with the folding

The league has, however, worked out a partial inter- locking schedule with two Alberta-based teams. Clubs from Banff and Brooks will each play four games against the WIHL teams — two home and two away.

In addition, teams from Assiniboia, Sask., and Moose Jaw, Sask. and Powell River, B.C., will each make one three-game visit to the Kootenays with the games counting in the WIHL stand- ings.

NFL PLAYERS MISJUDGED | MANAGEMENT

By The Associated Press When National Football League players wonder why they lost an average of $60,000 US a man while gaining nothing during the strike, they can point fingers in a lot of directions.

But the union remains the primary cul;

Not only did the NFL Players Association on miajudge the resolve of management to stonewall, the owners’ ability to be reba teams, the television ——

of its own gave snail on totoaniy had public image.

“They were smarter and more prej than we

ere,” Rocky Klever of the New York Jets said of management. “They beat us to the punch on everything we tried.

“If anything, there's animosity to the union for not being as well prepared. We were up against 28 business- men. We didn't have any.”

There are endless examples of bunker mentality by union officials who could not see beyond the bureaucratic tunnel they dug for themselves.

STOP WHINING

When player reps complained they éouldn't hold their members in line, they were told to stop whining and work harder. When the players told the union they were confused about issues, they were told the same.

Until Doug Allen, the union's assistant executive di- rector, took over public relations functions late in the strike, the press was often treated like agents of the owners, although many reporters had no reason to be hostile to the players.

How removed from reality was the union? One incident tells a lot.

It occurred at a hotel near Chicago's O'Hare Airport at the desperate player rep meeting designed to keep the troops on the picket line of what turned out to be the final Monday of the strike.

About two hours into the meeting, Frank Woschitz, head of public relations for the union, announced a press conference by Charles O'Brien, a Teamsters union official who would discuss the “union-busting tactics” of manage- ment negotiator Jack Donlan.

The briefing had no news value except that the speaker's name rang a bell with reporters.

The Castlegar Senior's Curling Club will operate with a new format this year. In the previous 12 years of the club's history each rink played against all the other rinks in ture.

This worked well while there were fewer rinks but as the membership grew, it began to be rather mono- tonous. Last year there were 20 rinks so the rinks re- mained the same for 19 games.

This year the rinks will be picked every four weeks so a member will only play eight games before changing rinks. It is hoped that this system will mix the players more to create a real “esprit de club.”

THE POSTMAN BRINGS WORD FROM ECUADOR

I was feeling harried, hassled and put-upon yesterday and was muttering darkly in my beard. It had been one of those special weeks. Then the postie brought the familiar airmail letter with the Ecuadorian stamps — a letter from my missionary friend John Munday. I skimmed through it and straightened up with a jolt, my perspective readjusted. Troubles he has in “abundance (little wonder hé gets déep depressions), but it’ is balanced with a deep faith, remarkable courage and optimism, and the everpresent spark of humor. Christmas is little more than two months off and I'm sure that a card or letter of encouragement, Would mean a great deal. Try it.

Now the first part of his letter.

Quite, Ecuador, 8.A.,

Sept. 8, 1987.

The long summer vacation is almost history. It began with the arrival of 37 young people from Teen Mission. For the third consecutive year I'm convinced they send us the cream of the crop of the almost 2,000 teenagers sent out each year to countries throughout the world. Because of Teen Mission projects last year and the year before, there was no need for them to bring tents. In six weeks, this year’s team built a spacious carpentry shop just beyond the soccer field, a classroom for the “special” children unable to cope with formal education, a good-sized garbage pit, as well as a wide variety of smaller projects, built, fixed, painted, cleaned up or put together.

Despite their tight schedule of early rising, personal devotions, Bible memorization and hard, hard work, they still had enough time to do some sighi shopping and relaxing. They also co-operated enthusiastically in the church services and Sunday school here, visited other similar groups, made friends with all our Diospaj Nan family and left us in a flood of tears (theirs and ours).

We've already signed up for another group next year, and while most of them would like to return, it’s unlikely we'll be given the same young people two years in a row. Each financed his own flight and contributed both towards his upkeep and the materials used in construction.

‘The seventh week of their stay was dedicated to “de- brief” a concentrated preparation for their return home. They were also joined by 31 young people who had spent their six weeks in Peru. Teen Mission staff members, Forest and Danetta, good friends from last year's “de-brief,” flew down for the occasion and effectively concluded Teen Mission's ministry to Ecuador and Peru for 1987. There was a grand banquet the very last night in the Equinoccio Restaurant at the Line of the Equator, then next day, two buses and two trucks drove them all to the airport for the Miami-bound plane.

gifts for the family and all the clothing he possessed. He also brought with him a Sony radio and tape recorder that he'd recently acquired.

After welcoming him at the airport I arranged to see him later in the day while he visited with his family in Quinto and I stopped off at the Ecuatoriana office to confirm flights for Teen Mission. When I got back to the car I made the heart-stopping discovery that someone had forced the locks and made off with Victor's suitcase and radio. I felt totally (almost) responsible, moreover, much of the stuff was irreplaceable. But to my relief Victor took the theft and the loss a lot better than I did.

Last Friday was our big shopping day in town as we prepared him for his freshman year at Azusa. He is now the owner of a brand new leather suitcase and a brand new wardrobe that — his first (navy-blue) dress shirt for special occasic

Fortunately, a friend i in the U.S. had given him his return fare to Quito, so that has already been taken care of. Despite his excellent marks in English, he is at times overwhelmed at the thought of complete submersion into English for all his first year university courses, but I have no doubt he'll continue to do well. For financial reasons, more than anything else, he will likely not be returning “home” for at least two years. He will also be working part-time.

He has postponed his flight north until next Tuesday to make sure his nephew, 17-year-old Gustavo, is definitely on the road to recovery. Gustavo had to spend five days in a downtown ¢linic in order to prevent a severe skin infection from entering the blood-stream. The infection, something like impetigo, is highly
