NEW YORK (AP) — Fame may keep Frank Viola out of the shopping centres, but it could keep him in Minnesota.

Viola, selected Most Valu. able Player in Minnesota's World Series triumph over the St. Louis Cardinals, is enjoying the winning feeling for the first time as a pitcher for the Twins.

“There were times in Min. nesota when I didn’t want to be there,” Viola said. “But this is the first time in a long time the Twins are winners. ‘They lost for so many years, I don’t think any of us will take this for granted.”

The Twins were in their first World Series since los- ing in seven games to the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1965. The franchise hadn't won 4 World Series since 1924 as the Washington Senators, and in 1986, the Twins lost 91 games to finish sixth in the American League West.

Viola, 27, was a winner in Game 1 and 7 of this World

Seniors curling off to good start

Castlegar pensioner curl ing is off to a good start. The first week of play saw some competitive games with one or two of the rinks showing almost mid-season form.

One pleasing aspect this season is the good number of new members in the organi- zation. Some are old curlers from the main club while others are throwing rocks for the first time.

HUNTING

By ALAN ADAMS ‘The Canadian Press

A couple of friends were out varmint hunting not so long ago when one of them spotted what he thought was fair game.

The hunter took careful aim and scored a bull's-eye on his target — accidentally killing his partner.

In 1961, there was the deer hunter in Nova Scotia who clobbered a porcupine with the butt of his The gun discharged, shooting the hunter in the chest and killing him.

These and other similar stories make for morbid hunting-cabin conversation, but fortunately such inci- dents are on the decline.

Safety courses, the mandatory use of hunter-orange clothing and tough testing have reduced the number of hunting accidents and firearm fatalities.

Still, each year toes are lost, feet blasted, thighs torn and close calls are

TESTS TOUGH

Provincial governments are trying to cut down the number of hunting through testing of people applying for licences. Officials say the tests are so tough there is a 30- to 50-per-cent failure rate.

Ontario was the first province to establish a hunter- safety progam, on a voluntary basis, in 1967. It became mandatory in 1960, os other provinces followed suit, either with 'y

In 1960 there were “36 fatalities in 164 hunting accidents in Ontario. In 1986, there were seven deaths in 86 accidents among more than 600,000 individuals hunting everything from birds to moose.

“We can safely say that hunting is one of the safer forms of recreation that we have,” says Bill McKittrick, the head of Ontario's hunter-safety . “We have been very successful in reducing the number of acci- dents.”

In British Columbia, 134,000 licences were issued in 1986. Two people died in.a total of nine hunting-related accidents.

VICTORIA (CP) — The provincial government has ended its wolf hunt in southeastern B.C. because of concerns raised by the Montana government and U.S. wildlife officials.

Only three wolves were killed in six weeks before the season was closed last Friday when B.C. and American officials agreed at a meeting that the Hunt tity have been endangering a wolf recovery program'in Mon- tana’s Glacier National Park.

“The consensus was that it was time to close the hunt down not because of the status of the wolves in the Flathead region (in British Columbia), but because the people south of the border felt that their program could be jeopardized,” Ralph Archibald, co-ordinator of the En- vironment Ministry's wildlife branch, said Wednesday.

The wolf hunt in the Flathead region was the first since 1967. Environment ministry officials were con- cerned that the growing number of wolves — they number between 25 and 30 — were slaughtering moose and elk in the area.

Unlike in the Flathead region, wolves are an en- dangered species in Montana where efforts are being made to promote their viability in the park area as wolves return after a 50-year absence.

There are an estimated 7,000 wolves in British Columbia and Archibald expects as many, as 600 will be either shot or trapped during hunting season across the province this year.

It's safer then ever before

B.C. wolf hunt ended

fatalities 80 per cent, compared with the 10 years up to 1974.

However, Geoff Swannell, head of the hunter-edu- cation program for the B.C. government, feels the courses are not enough.

“I think there is a place for a more advanced course, one that would have emphasis on hunting and shooting techniques.”

In Ontario, the safety course has a minimum of 15 hours’ training on firearms, followed by 4 written exam for a hunting licence. An individual must have 50 correct answers of the 60 multiple-choice questions.

‘Then the would-be hunters have to pass a practical course, which consists of the safe handling of firearms, identifying the different types of firearms, loading various firearms, as well as safety in the woods. A hunting licence can only be purchased once these tests have been successfully completed.

The testing procedure is similar across Canada.

FOLLOW RULES

Hunters have their own list of commandments:

- Control the muzzle-of firearms at all times. Always be aware of where it is pointing.

- Open the action to be sure it is unloaded.

- Make sure the barrel is clear of obstructions.

- Make sure you have the correct ammunition.

- Make absolutely sure of your target, what it is and what is around it, what's in the path of the bullet, what's behind the target.

- Don't shoot toward hard surfaces like a rock.

- The safety lock on a rifle should be used, but don’t rely on it.

- When travelling over unstable areas — such as crossing a stream, stepping over a downed tree or going over a fence — the firearm should be unloaded.

- Never use alcohol or drugs.

- Firearms should be stored separately from the ammunition.

- Treat every firearm as if it’s loaded.

Besides general carelessness, most accidents are caused by the use of firearms in unstable areas and the age-old excuse: “I didn't think the gun was loaded.”

“They pick it up,” says Swannell, “think it is not loaded, pull the trigger and shoot themselves in the foot.”

But he said even if double that number are killed or die from other causes, it will not have a major effect on the population.

The provincewide activist Paul Watson led a well-publicized attempt two years ago to disrupt the hunt by B.C. government officials in northern British Columbia.

And just two weeks ago, dozens of marchers pro- tested in front of the Canatian“cénsulate’s office in Seattle, Wash. The march led by a group called Wolf Haven urged travellers to cross Canada off their list of destinations.

Archibald said only the killing of baby seals has evoked such strong reactions even though there are hunting seasons for all kinds of animals ranging from deer to rabbits.

He said public sentiment against killing wolves “defies explanation.” NO BIOLOGIST

Farley Mowat's book, Never Cry Wolf, has popular- ized the wolves’ cause, but Archibald said that while Mowat is an excellent storyteller, “he is not a biologist.”

As long as there are hunters and man continues to affect wildlife habitat through a variety of means, Archibald said there must be species management.

Archibald denied claims by Wolf Haven that wolves are being killed by fish hooks concealed in chunks of meat and by poison. He said those methods are illegal and if anyone were caught doing that, they would be charged.

Reflections & recollections

EDITOR'S NOTE: The following is the second part of a letter by Ecuadorian missionary John Munday.

Several of the boys, (including six of the blind boys and two suffering from paralysis), have enjoyed a week at a Christian Camp for Disabled young people. I am very grateful to the and many for the excellent job they did and for not charging us a cent for any of it. Others have been, or are in various corners of the republic visiting their families.

Thirty-yeat-old Angel, a blind Shuar Indian boy, is right now deep in the eastern jungle in search of the mother he has not seen for more than a decade, ever since he lost his sight here in Quito. Amable is somewhere in Colombia in search of his birth certificate in the remote town of his birth. Tomorrow morning 10 of the boys are planning to leave at the crack of dawn or before, equipped with three pounds of rice, three pounds of sugar, five pounds of flour, one bag of salt, two pounds of lard, six tins of g§rdines, one jar af coffee and five boxes of matches, as well as the 5 beskes for seeping, shelter, and: the like. They promise to be back by Saturday (tomorow is Wednesday). Their destination is a remote part of thie. mountains eight hours hard hiking from here. I'll be spending much of that time in prayer!

One night we filled the van with 16 of the smaller boys and headed to the circus. Marco enjoyed a ringside seat. If his wheelchair had rolled a few feet further he'd have been bumping into clowns, elephants and gymnasts. That night 17 of us indulged in a shishkabob supper of skewered meat samples as soon as we stepped out of the circus tent into the cold night air.

Last Friday we were hosts to 160 ladies representing most of Quinto's ngelical churches. It was their “annual convention” with a full program. Everything went along remarkably smoothly including the buffet supper that followed. It even started and ended on time which is enough to make the whole undertaking memorable occasion.

Charter’s notes Castlegar Rotary Exchange students have been taken aback repeatedly in the host Latin countries where even an hour's delay in starting an event is not regarded as being late.

It was one of Antonia’s last big challenges in the kitchen as she has decided to leave as of the end of September. Eventually she'll return to the jungle with Nelson and two-year-old Javier. Victor's mother, Sra Blanca, will be working with Antonia during the final week as she prepares to take over where Antonia leaves

Last week, Canadian fellow missionaires from the

Jan, with ber teaching experience, helped in the jungle scliool for missionaries’ children, and Elwood, an electrical engineer with a tender heart had a full-time job keeping the electrical side of things going down there — and up here, too. Shortly before going into hospital for'an exploratory biopsey, (he suspected a temporary lung problem like pleurisy), he brought order out of the confusion of our scrambled wiring). When reports came back from the lab that he had a growing malignant cancer of the lung, he was, of course, stunned, as was Jan, and so all of us — his many friends here who love and appreciate him.

Lloyd and Linda Rogers who, with Vardy’s, have made Shell Mera their jungle home and the center of their ministries, recently returned from the States where their 17-year-old daughter Karen died from a rare type of cancer. They're unwittingly taken on a new ministry — that of comforting those who face similar tests.

Lloyd and Linda accompanied another family in their time of extreme sorrow yesterday afternoon. The Alliance Academy Gymnasium was just about filled with students, teachers and fellow missionaires, come to honor the memory of the school librarian, Mrs. Mary Cadle.
