RING FOOTBA

Only 10 passes

By DAVE GOLDBERG ‘The Associated Press

MD obowt the same time last Sunday that Jim Kelly was learning he had thrown _just 10 passes in his first vietory as a Buffalo Bill, the switchboard at a Buffalo radio station was lighting up for the post-game call-in show.

The calls, with a few exceptions, went like this:

“That's the worst game I've ever seen.”

“I don't want to have to watch boring football.”

“We've got the best quar- terback in the game and they don't let him throw. We need a new (general manager, coach, offensive co-ordina. tor).”

The Bills had won for just the fifth time in 37 regular- season National Football League games, beating the St. Louis Cardinals 17-10 with promise of better things to come.

But it was boring.

The Bills were

aimed at allowing St. Louis to move the ball until making a mistake.

A far cry from the first two Buffalo losses, both exciting losses — 28-24 to the New York Jets and 36-33 in over- time to the Cincinnati Ben- gals. In those games, Kelly, the franchise's designated savior, threw 565 times for 520 yards and four touchdowns, bringing instant respecta- bility to a team that had put togehter i 214

Martina sues over photos

RIVERHEAD, N.Y. (AP) — Martina Navratilova, the world’s top-ranked women’s tennis player, testified Tues- day that she was crying and ill before she took a camera away from a professional photographer and exposed his film.

The suits have been com- bined for trial.

Navratilova said she suf- fered from an illness caused by eating improperly cooked meat the day of the incident. She started feeling weak after winning the first set against Pam Shriver and eventually lost the quarter- final match, Navratilova testified.

“I worked very hard for that tournament and felt

She said she encountered Seitz on a narrow staircase. “He bumped into me with his shoulder and cameras and I got against the railing to get out of his way.”

Later, she saw him im the scoreboard plaza taking her picture again, she testified.

“I believe since I had done my part to conduct inter- views and be available for pictures, that I had a right to be alone after that.”

Seitz claims the film was worth at least $40,000 be- cause it contained important photographs, and his arm in- juries could require surgery that would cost most than $40,000.

Challenge cup relay races end

By CasNews Staff The Challenge Cup may be history after the annual event was cancelled on Sun- day because not enough teams signed up for the race. According to Castlegar

only four teams registered for the race and at least seven or eight teams were needed in order to hold the event.

The Challenge Cup in volves a runner, a cyclist and two canoeists on each team.

Walker says the event probably won't be held again.

“It's probably an event that has gone down in his tory,” she said.

The Challenge Cup had been held for two years prior to being cancelled this year.

So it wasn't surprising that coach Hank Bullough, known in Buffalo as the master of the malapropism, entered the locker room and said: “Well, we lost as usual . . . I mean, we won as usual.”

Then the former defensive co-ordinator proceeded to tell the world that he’s not an offensive genius like Don Coryell and why slugging it out over the line of scrim- mage is more effective.

“We wanted to run the ball,” he said. “You can't win in this league if you can't run it.

“T'm a firm believer in that. If you rear up and throw it every time, you're going to have trouble.”

Cut to the man whose arrival in Buffalo was ex pected to usher in an era of rear up and throw.

“We're back to the old feeling of winning again,” Kelly said.

“How many times did I pass?” he asked. Ten, he was told, completing six for 105 yards.

“Ten?” he asked. “Ten? Well, at least the percentage was good.

“I threw more than that in midget football. God, I hope that never happens again. I want to throw the ball.”

So far, 145,713 fans have shown up at Rich Stadium to see him throw. That's 38,000 people — and about $570,000 — more than for the first two games last year.

They'll probably come back this week. The Bills are favored again over Kansas City. But a lot may be hoping that Buffalo falls behind.

That way they'll get to see Kelly pass.

Editor's Note: The following is the first of a weekly

column by Stanley Humphries secondary school student

Tammy Harshenin on sports happenings at the school. By TAMMY HARSHENIN

Stanley Humphries secondary school is off to a fast start in the athletic department this year, with Karen Popoff as the student body's nominated Minister of Athletics. She and her chosen council are already hard at work to promote school spirit, and start fund-raising activities.

With eight energetic teams underway, we are sure to be hearing a lot about sports events in the days to come. Mr. Bilesky's senior soccer team aroused the school spirit after their victory against Midway on Sept. 16.

“The score was 5-1,” the team's captain, Fernando Amaral, was proud to announce.

Jessi Zielke’s cross country running team took part in their first meet last Thursday. The meet was held at Kinnaird Junior secondary school. The results for this meet have not yet been received by SHSS.

Also well on their way with training and practise are the senior field hockey team, coached by Pat West, junior field hockey, coached by Miss Wile, Mr. King’s senior boy's volleyball, Mr. Uehida's senior girl's volleyball, Chris Bouchiar's junior girl's volleyball, and Mrs. Scheupfer's swim team.

Because of the renovations to the high school gymnasium, many of the host games will be held at Kinnaird Junior secondary school, or Selkirk College. These would include games such as volleyball for now, and sports such as basketball later in the season. Students are off to an anxious start as well in clubs such as the Computer club, Hiking, Amnesty Inter- national, the Candy Stripers, and a Dance club.

There are many athletic activities going on now and many more planned for the days to follow

Houston Astros ready for New York Mets

Armed with the best rec ord in baseball, the New York Mets will charge boldly into the National League playoffs against the Houston Astros in a couple of weeks, confident that good times await them.

‘That, says St. Louis man. ager Whitey Herzog. might be a terrible miscalculation.

“They've got their hands fall,” Herzog warned. “They're going to be facing a good left-hander and two right-handed starters who are better than average.

“I don't care how many games they won or what their record is. In the play offs, you start all over and the other team is there because they played better than anybody else in their division.”

Herzog thinks the Astros.

Mets playoff will turn early. “The key to that series will be the first two games in Houston,” he said. “Houston has got to win one of those games, maybe both of them.” He thinks the Astros might have a very good chance of doing exactly that, New York's Dwight Gooden and Bob Ojeda or Ron Darling notwithstanding. Left-hander Bob Knepper will pitch one game and righty Mike Scott the other. That, Herzog said, is a not-too-shabby 1-2 punch for the Astros. RIGHT WITH RIGHTIES “The Mets are not as good against left-handers as they are against righties,” he said “A left-hander keeps their 1-2 hitters, (Len) Dykstra and (Wally) Backman, on the bench and _ neutralizes (Darryl) Strawberry. It weakens their defence and

takes what running game they have away.”

Herzog says the Astros’ efficiency will not be dam- aged when they pitch Scott.

“He's the most dominating pitcher in the league right now,” the Cardinal manager said. “A hard-throwing right hander does well against the Mets.

Nolan Ryan is baseball's all-time strikeout king and Houston's likely third-game starter. Herzog says Ryan is throwing as hard today at age 39 as he did21 years ago when he signed with the Mets as a raw-boned Texas teen-ager

Herzog was director of player development for the Mets then and was still there in 1971 when the Mets made a trade with the California Angels for third baseman Jim Fregosi.

Evans blasts WKPL sale

West Kootenay Power and Light Co. users must band together and make the proposed sale of the utility a political issue, a mecting of about 35 people was told in Winlaw last week.

Gerald Abele of Creston, coordinator of the newly formed Electric Consumers’ Association, and Nelson ‘Cres. ton New Democrat candidate Corky Evans agreed that the sale of WKPL to the Missouri-based UtiliCorp must be blocked, according to a prepared release.

The release says both men urged all area residents to join the organization, which was formed two weeks ago by concerned Creston-area citizens. Abele said that the prime purpose of ECA is to stop the saie of WKPL to a foreign owned corporation. A secondary goal is to organize an attempt to buy WKPL by the current users of the utility.

Abele said the organization is growing rapidly, from 17 founding members two weeks ago, to 700 members at present. Although ECA has no political ties, both Abele and Evans stressed the importance of making the politicans accountable, the release says.

“If it's not a political issue,” said Evans, “the politicians will refer it to the bureaucrats. And the bureaucrats will stuff it away until everyone forgets about it.”

Hearings before the B.C. Utilities Commission have not been scheduled because Cominco, UtiliCorp, and West Kootenay Power have not applied, said Abele

“If we have 5,000 members, the politicians are going to have to take notice,” Abele pointed out. He said that an informal survey had indicated that 90 per cent of West Kootenay residents are opposed to the sale of WKPL to UtiliCorp.

“(Premier Bill) Vander Zalm says, ‘Investment is investment.’ ” said Evans. “Jack Davis says, ‘It's OK with me. It will allow Cominco to go ahead with modernization Iris Bakken says, ‘This is investment. Anyone in the Kootenays against investment is against work

“If you come into the Kootenays with $80 million and build a factory that produces something, that's investment,” Evans said. “And I'd take that money from a Missouri investor if it provided jobs here to build something. But if you bring $80 million to B.C. and simply buy control of something that people have already built, that's plunder, not investment. The ideas that giving away resources for money is ‘investment’, is wrong-headed government

“It should be an election issue here and in the Okanagan as big as the sky. It should be the only thing that people are talking about in the next little while, because it's the example of how the rest of this century is going to go.” said Evans, referring to future resource-related settlements like the re-negotiation of the Columbia River Treaty slated for 1990.

The release says both men pointed out there were many Canadian bidders, several from the Kootenays, and yet Cominco had accepted the only foreign bid. Initial bids were to be received by Aug. 1, with adjusted bids to be submitted by Sept. 1. But Cominco announced it was accepting Utili Corp's bid on Avg. 15.

In addition, the release says concern was expressed about UtiliCorp itself. Tracing its evolution and sky

rocketing success, Evans warned that “in utilities, the name of the game is takeovers. I am sure UtiliCorp’is the cleanest of companies,” he said, “but there is no guarantee that it will be in existence six months from now.”

He said that in an atmosphere of “hostile takeovers,” another utility company could take over UtiliCorp.

“We might be in danger of paying electrical bills to Shell Oil later on,” speculated Evans.

“UtiliCorp may be considered good business people, but I don't think they're the best for us.”

UtiliCorp has been an aggressive purchaser, buying two coal-fired power plants, two natural gas distribution companies, and two natural gas pipeline companies since April 1985, said Evans.

Because UtiliCorp is such a fast growing company, Evans said he is also worried that it can't keep its promises. In August UtiliCorp president Richard Green assured a meeting in Castlegar that the American company owned no nuclear facilities. A week later it was announced that UtiliCorp had acquired an interest in a nuclear plant im Arizona, Evans told the Winlaw audience.

The company, which grew out of a small family-oper ated utility called Missouri Public Service, owes its profit making success to its young president, who himself came from that family, Evans said

But he said those profits will not stay in the Kootenays.

Seniors hear of activities

The Castlegar and District Senior Citizens Association held its social meeting Thurs- day. After the regular open- ing by vice-president Nels Latta, the meeting was turned over to entertainment eonvenor LaDell Lipsett.

The afternoon's program was a sharing time with several members sharing their summer's activities and trips.

Jessie Donnan entertained members by her humorous account of her trip to Expo with her family.

Jean Fitzpatrick told mem- bers of her flight to Ontario to visit her son and family, and especially to see her newest grandchild. While there she said it was a thrill for her to visit Niagara Falls for the first time.

Mary Ellen Cormier and her daughter motored all the way to New Brunswick this summer, picking up a second

She went on several trips in the recreation bus spon sored by the Recreation Commission and hosted by Pat Dillon.

She said she especially en joyed the trip to Nelson where they were taken to the Nelson Museum. the park, and Blaylock Estate. She commended Pat Dillon for being a considerate tour guide.
