inB.c. ~

VANCOUVER (CP) French:
language education .for the fran
cophone minority in British Columbia
is inadequate and poorly administered,
an association of francophone Parents
said

The group filed a suit in B.C
Supreme Court on Tuesday, saying the

acial government has violated the
Charter -of Rights> and
Freedoms by denying francophones
quality French-only education

‘The political will is not there,”
Martine Galibois-Barss, president of
the Association des Parents du
Programme Cadre de Francais, told a
news conference.

The cadre program — schoolin
French with an emphasis on French
Canadian tradition and culture — is
available to students who have at least
one francophone parent

It started 10 years ago with 250
students in nine school districts. Now;
there are 1,000 students in 21 of the 75
school districts ih British Columbia

There are $0,000 francophones in
British Columbia, which has a total
population of about three\million, But
only about 2,000 of the 20,000 aged
between five and 19 who are eligible for
the program actually attend such a
program. Education Ministry policy
states that a-tocal board-must Start a

McDonald scores
500th career goal

CALGARY (CP) ‘—-For Lanny McDonald, there
remains just one pot of gold at the end of his National
Hockey League rainbow — a Stanley Cup ring

The veteran Calgary right winger passed one of his last
milestones Tuesday night when he scored his 500th career
goal during the Flames’ 4-1 victory over the New York
Islanders.

“1 felt a strength that 1 was going to get it,
Donald, sporting an ear-to-ear grin
peacefulness.

“Ardell (McDonald's wife) said that if you want
something bad enough you have to go out there and go for
it.”

said Mc
I have a feeling of

Now he has a good shot at the ring. The F lames have
captured the Smythe Division title and are tied with Mon.
treal Canadiens for the overall league lead

A sellout Saddledome crowd of 20,002 celebrated the
milestone with a three-minute stariding ovation. Chants of
“Lanny, Lanny” rang through the building as a caricature
of his trademark red walrus-style moustache lit up the
scoreboard

McDonald's goal, Calgary's second of the ga: came
Tollowing his patented wrap-around move trom behind the
net at 10:54 of the first

The 36-year-old co-captain, named the game's first
star, picked up a loose puck from behind the Island net
and slipped it past netminder Mark Fitzpatrick on the stick
side

‘(Mike) ‘Vernon and (Rick) Wamsley were saying

before the game that wouldn’t it be classic if you scored on

the rookie with the wrap-around,” said McDonald
PUTIN MILES

Jim Peplinksi had nothing but praise for McDonald's

accomplishment

He’s put in a lot miles in his career and hasn't had a
lot of personal rewards,” said Peplinski, who assisted on
the goal

“‘IU’sinice for him. I'm tickled pink.””

McDonald, who played in his 1,107th NHL game
Sunday night, is 14th in NHL all-time scoring and seven
goals behind Jean Beliveau

Joe Nieuwendyk scored his SOth of the season and
Theoren Fleury and Gary Roberts chipped in the other
Calgary goals. Mick Vukota scored the lone Islanders
goal

Earlier in the season, McDonald, a 16-year veteran,
reached the $00-assisrand 1,000-point marks.

The Flames’ winger played his junior hockey with the
Medicine Hat Tigers in the Western Hockey League and
was Toronto’s first-round pick (fourth overall) in 1973

He played six seasons with the Leats before being
traded to the Colorado Rockies part way throught the 1979-
80 season

He joined the Flames midway through the 1981-82
campaign and immediately became a crowd
because of his community and charity work

NICHOLES GETS No. 65

Kings ed

EDMONTON (CP) — The Los Angeles Kings figured
their 4-3 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night
marked another encouraging milestone in their surprising
NHL season

‘We proved to ourselves that- we’ve matured a lot
from early in the season,"’ Kings sniper Bernie Nicholls said,
after scoring his 65th goal of the'year to tie the game 3-3
midway through the third period

Defenceman_lim Wiemer won the game with his first
goal of the season less than a minute later.

Steve Duchesne and Luc Robitaille also scored for the
Kings, who moved two points up on the Oilers in the race
for second place in the Smythe Division

For the Oilers, it was Craig MacTavish, Jimmy Carson
and Mark Messier

**] thought we were in charge of the game but we made
some mistakes, they got a few good bounces and the puck
didn’t go in for us,”’ Oilers coach Glen Sather said

VEFE NG

Messier said: ‘‘There was a positive feeling after the
game and the guys are still real confident. Just a few
mistakes that are resulting in goals. We cut those down and
we're going to start winning hockey games.”"

ge Oilers

The trouble is, the Oilers have only four games left in
their season, while the Kings have six. The teams meet once
more in Los Angeles before the playoffs. Both are far
behind the Flames who have clinched the division title

The Oilers dominated the first 50 minutes of the game
outshiooting the Kings 31-19 on the night, while Edmon:
ton’s Esa Tikkanen kept Wayne Gretzky in check before a
sold-out crowd of 17,503

But Kings goaltender Kelly Hrudey beat_back suc
cessive Oiler attacks and confidently handled point-blank
drives by the Oilers’ top shooters to keep his team in the
game

“You have to be willing to weather the storm for a
while,"’ Hrudey said after picking up his sixth win in 10
gamesas a King

‘We weathered that storm and certainly a nice plus for
us was that we showed patience.

It seemed the Oilers would hang on despite Hrudey’s
sparkling goaltending, but Nicholls chipped a close-in shot
over Grant Fuhr during a power play at 8:59 of the third
period

Wiemer snapped in the winning goal at 9:44 after
taking a nice set-up by Dave Taylor from behind the net

BELCZYK
WINS
SUPER-G

LAKE LOUISE, Alta. (CP) — Felix Belezyk’s
career took a sharp turn for the worse at last year’s Win.
ter Olympics but he ended a 13-month drought Monday
by winning the super giant slalom title at the Canadian
Alpine ski championships.

“I figure at least one win a year is mandatory,”
Beltzyk joked after winning his first Canadian cham
pionship in one minute 20.18 seconds

““Thisis something to make you feel good about ski
racing-again,’’-he-said_‘‘There have been a lot of
negative things over the year that kind of put a damper
on the whole deal

After winning his-first World Cup race, a super
giant slalom at Leukerbad, Switzerland in January
1988, Belczyk and the Canadian men's team had a
disappointing Olympic Games last February in Calgary

The problems continued this winter

Belcyzk’s performance on the World Cup circuit
this season — his best result was two 13ths in downhill
and at the world championships in Vail, Col., prompted
heal coach Glenn Wurtele to criticize his dedication to
the sport

Actually 1 put all that behind me when it hap
pened,"’ he said of the criticism. “I think I've shown
I've skied well. I don’t have to prove to anyone that I'm
worthy of my position on the team.”

Skiing out of the No.1 position, Belezyk was nearly
8-10ths of a second faster than runner-up Robbie
Bosinger of Banff, Alta., who skied from 20th position

“This has been a long time coming,"’ Belezyk said
of the championship. “‘I've been the top super-G skier
in Canada for a few years but I've fiever been Canadian
champion. It’s something | wanted.”

NEARLY PERFECT

Kendra Kobelka of Revelstoke, who missed the last
gate to end her bid for a win in Sunday's downhill, was
nearly perfect Monday to take the women’s super-G
title

With defending champion Karen Percy of Banff
Alta., too sore to compete after crashing in the
downhill, Kobelka was the class of the field

She finished in 1:23.37 and the only one close to her
was Andrea Marchand, a junior from Calgary, in

FELIX BELCZYK
. ends drought

1:23.80. Rardi Van Heest of Kelowna was third in
1:25.21

Kobelka said Sunday's misfortune gave her added
incentive to win her first national title

‘And also, from the last result in Steamboat
Springs, Col., (she was seventh, her best World Cup
finish of the year) I wanted to show I could ski super-G,
that it wasn’t justa fluke."

The championships, being held after Husky Oil
agreed to step in after the Canadian Ski Association
failed to find a major sponsor, now shift to Nakiska at
Mount Allan, Alta

The women’s giant slalom will be run today with
the men’s Wednesday. The slalom championships will
be decided Thursday and Friday
