Castlegar News June, 1% Keegstra wants to teach again EDMONTON (CP) Jim Keeg stra says he misses teaching and may try to get back into the profession now that his conviction for hate. mongering has been overturned by the Alberta Court of Appeal. But Education Minister Nancy Betkowski said she sees no reason to reinstate Keegstra's teaching cer tifieate. In an interview Tuesday at his home in the central Alberta town of Eckville, Keegstra said he has solid grounds to have his licence restored, but won't make a decision until speaking with his lawyer I miss teaching sometimes, but I also enjoy the freedom of being a mechanic,” the town's former mayor said. In the Alberta legislature, New Democrats urged Premier Don Getty to revive a public education cam. paign on intolerance. Getty said spending more government money is not the way to fight racial intol erance ‘Frankly funds and laws are not the things that are going to do the job here,” he said. Albertans can tackle intolerance if they “take it on and argue against it and expose it.” On Monday the appeal court juashed Keegstra’s 1985 conviction of spreading hatred against Jews. Three judges ruled the Criminal Code section under which he was charged is unconstitutional because it is too broad and violates rights of free speech. Alberta Attorney General Jim Horsman said Alberta may appeal, or leave 'it to Ottawa to refer the federal law to the Supreme Court of Canada or to draft new legislation. SEES APPEAL Horsman said he expects the appeal court ruling to go to the Supreme Court “one way or ano ther.” In Ottawa, Justice Minister Ray Hnatyshyn said federal and pgovin cial. official: ted reviewing fore it was struck down by the Alberta court. He said a joint working group of civil servants, established at a fed. eral-provincial conference of justice ministers in Quebec City last month, is expected to report in the fall Hnatyshyn said a decision on whether to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada is up to Horsman. Stan Scudder, chairman of the Al berta Human Rights Commission, said the appeal court ruling is not based on the evidence against Keeg. stra but on his constitutional rights. The matter must be dealth with by the Supreme Court or Parliament in order to strike a balance between free speech and protection of people against hatred, he said. “There is something wrong when men claim, for one reason or another, that historic fact is to be disputed when Albertans who have survived that reality stand testimony to it,” he said in a written statement. Jim Loekyer, New Brunswick's justice minister, said the Alberta ruling shows he was right not to prosecute high school teacher Mal. colm Ross, who has written anti Jewish books. The task now is to write new legislation, Lockyer said “It’s been our position all along that (the existing law) is fraught with difficulty and that we do have prob- lems with respect to the charter.” The Canadian head of a white supremist group called the Church of Jesus Christ of Aryan Nations des. eribed the court ruling as a victory for his cause. “The decision couldn't have been better — it confirms legally the statuje is unconstitutional,” said Terry Long. RESIDENTS UPSET In Eckville, 185 kilometres south west of Edmonton, residents were upset at being back in the spotlight. “Here they are again to hassle us,” town councillor Helen Posti said Tuesday as reporters converged on the community of 869. “Why don't you leave us alone,” many residents implored. While Keegstra, 54, made Eckville infamous with his teachings of an international Jewish conspiracy, most residents blame the media for helping tarnish its name. The woman who lodged the first complaint against Keegstra six years ago is disappointed his conviction was overturned, but she said it is more important that he is no longer working in a classroom. “That was the main thing,” said Sue Maddox, “that he would no longer be able to teach his views toa captive audience.” LADY simon $1 497 GRADUATION PLAQUES With assorted Verses CHOCOLATE For the Special Grad TRAVEL ALARM CLOCKS (Lorge Selection) $398 CLASSIC TELEPHONE Assorted Styles & Colors Popular Grod Gift!

I've got three good job offers, but two of them are back in Tennessee and I'll have to wrestle with that one, because I want to stay. , “I made the decision to retire, and all I have (uv say is ‘Thank you.’ LACKED SPEED Holloway’s retirement followed speculation he was too overweight and lacked the speed to figure in the Lions’ sprint-out offence under coach Donovan. He played last year as a backup to Roy Dewalt, now a Winnipeg Blue Bomber after a contract dispute. “There was this tubby quarterback,” Holloway said. “Every coach, every general manager on eight teams called him \a fat little quarterback. “But his own coaches didn't, and his own general manager didn't. Because that little fat guy was Ron Lancaster. “I can understand where the foach is coming from with the new offence. I can understand what he wants. But they wanted me to come in at 185 pounds. The last time I weighed 185 pounds I was 20 years old. I've always played heavier than that, and I think I've accomplished some things.” Career statistics put Holloway behind only three men on the CFL's all-time list — Lancaster, Tom Clementsand Dieter Brock Holloway's retirement came as no shock to Donovan. RUMORS STARTED “I thought something was up when he suddenly stopped coming to practice last week. There were some phone calls and the rumors started.” General manager Joe Galat of the Lions said varterback retires Holloway simply told him it was “time to move on” and the move left the Lions without any experience at the pivot position. The Lions’ early quarterback camp will feature the throwing of little-known imports Rickey Foggie, Reggie Lewis, Walter Briggs and Willie Gillis. The team earlier released quarterbacks Ed Blount and Mark Stevens, while a knee problem ruled out Brian Ransom. Holloway's career statistics include 155 touch. down passes and 94 interceptions. He completed 1,710 of 3,013 pass attempts for 25,193 yards in league play. His yardage total is fifth highest in CFL history He joined the Lions last year as a free agent but played sparingly behind Dewalt. He ranked 23rd in the CFL passing statistics last year after completing 14 of 28 passes for 211 yards. ALL CONCENTRATION . .

In the bottom of the first, Martin politely asked home plate umpire Mark Johnson to check a gold chain worn by Boston pitcher Dennis (Oil Can) Boyd “I told him he could handle the situation any way he wanted,” Martin said. “Then I just walked away.” Johnson and the other umpires declined comment on the situation. There were no close calls and no arguments from either bench. In other American League games Tuesday, it was: Cleveland Indians 5, Toronto Blue Jays 3; Baltimore Orioles 4, Detroit Tigers 3; Chicago White Sox 10, Minnesota Twins 8; Kansas City Royals 6, Oakland Athletics 0; California Angels 1, Texas Rangers 0; and Seattle Mariners 5, Milwaukee Brewers 4. Rickey Henderson hit an RBI single that capped a four-run second inning and then preserved the lead with a sensational play in left field in the eighth. Trailing 4-3, Ellis Burks led off the Boston eighth with a triple. One out later, Mike Greenwell hit a soft liner to left field. Henderson dashed toward left centre, backhanded the ball at his shoetops and recovered for a perfect throw to catcher Joel Skinner that nailed Burks Burks mistakenly broke home when the ball was hit and was late in tagging up.

The International Ski Federation announced its Alpine schedule today for the 1988-89 season. The men’s tour will hold a downhill and super giant slalom race at Whistler Feb. 25-26. The women will be in Lake Louise, Alta. a week earlier for a pair of downhill races. No races are scheduled to be held at Mount Allan, the site of the Alpine events at the 1988 Winter Olympics. Mount Allan — which cost the Alberta government million to develop, not including $5 million worth of snow-making equip- ment — has been criticized for its weather problems. Several Olympic races were postponed because of gusting winds, while a lack of snow caused officials to move a 1987 World Cup women's super giant slalom race to Vail, Colo. In the 1988-89 schedule, one downhill was dropped and a giant slalom replaces a slalom in the women's competition. The federation also said it plans to stage two men’s World Cup races in Australia in the 1989-90 season, the first ever on that continent. The federation plans to put more emphasis on areas outside Europe in staging the World Cup in 1989-90. In 1988-89, the women face 26 races and, as last winter, two Alpine combined cmpetitions, which award World Cup points for the aggregate result of a slalom and downhill at the same venue. round event. The Open was played at the Castlegar Golf Club CosNewsPhoto by Brendan Nogie Pistons hammer Lakers INGLEWOOD, CALIF. (AP) Coach Pat Riley, who guaranteed a year ago that the Los Angeles Lakers would repeat as National Basketball Association champions, repeated a familiar line on Tuesday night. “I go back to what I've been saying to the team the whole year. If we win, it will be the toughest thing they've ever done,” Riley said. The Lakers, who had the NBA's best regular season record (6220) this year after their championship season of 1987-88, seem to be making it hard on themselves. After struggling to seven game victories in the last two playoff eries, against Utah and Dallas, the Lakers came out flat Tuesday and were beaten 105-93 by the Detroit Pistons in the opening game of the championship series. Detroit's defence, which has caused trouble for each of the Pis tons’ playoff foes this year, was a factor, but the Lakers had many costly lapses at both ends of the floor And they couldn't get the ball into the basket — shooting 39.8 per cent to the Pistons’ 57.5 per cent. “They didn't do much to bother my shots; they just didn't go in,” said Lakers centre Kareem Abdul-Jab- bar, who was 2-of-10 shooting in the first half as Los Angeles fell behind 57-40, “It was probably one of the worst games we've ever played in the play- offs here,” Riley said. “(Michael) Cooper missed seven open shots, Kareem couldn't get a skyhook to go in. “Mentally we weren't there,” said Laker Magie Johnson. “We didn't carry out our defensive game plan.” Johnson scored 28 points on 8-of-11 shooting, with eight rebounds and 10 assists. The Pistons figured they earned the win by playing tough. title defended Nelson's Brian De Biasio defended his crown at the 27th annual Sun- flower Open this weekend at the Castlegar Golf Club.

Phillies double Montreal 10-5 MONTREAL (CP) — There was a time last season, long ago it seems, when Neal Heaton pitched like an all-star for the Montreal Expos. That time felt even further away Tuesday night after Heaton got bombed and Montreal lost a 10-5 Nationa! League baseball decision to the Philadelphia Phillies. Heaton, 2-4, lasted just two inn ings, giving up six runs on five hits and three walks. That left the south. paw with a 3-10 record and a 5.88 ERA since the 1987 mid-season break, and had his manager puzzled. “Which is the real Neal Heaton?” Montreal manager Buck Rodgers said “School's still out on him. “We're wondering if last year was a fluke.” Heaton, who was 13-10.last season, got into trouble in the first inning after he issued a two-out walk to Lance Parrish. Mike Schmidt follow- ed with an RBI double and then scored on a Chris James single to give Philadelphia a 2-0 lead “I just didn’t have any location tonight,” Heaton said. Tim Raines homered for Montreal Umpires stilla NEW YORK (AP) Commis: sioner Peter Ueberroth stepped into baseball's hottest rivalry Tuesday, telling umpires and Billy Martin that Martin should be treated like any other manager and umpires should be treated with respect. “Tve talked with both sides and told them to stop it and stop it now,” Ueberroth said. “I expect within two hours they will work out their differ ences and exchange the appropriate apologies.” In a statement released by the Yankees prior to Tuesday night's game with Boston, Martin said he was sorry for kicking at and throw ing dirt on umpire Dale Scott in Oakland last week He received a three-game suspen sion and a $1,000 fine. in the bottom of the first, but Juan Samuel connected for a two-run shot to make it 41 for the Phillies in the second. “Heaton was having control prob- lems, and he was falling behind a lot of hitters,” Samuel said. “It’s hard for anybody to pitch like that.” Raines got another run back for Montreal when he singled home Mitch Webster in the second, but the Phillies put three more across in the third on Mike Young's sacrifice fly and a two-run single by Samuel. Phillies starter Don Carman did not fare much better than Heaton He went to the showers with one out in the fifth, but Greg Harris, 2-2, held the Expos scoreless for the next three innings before Kent Tekulve finished for his third save Montreal chased Carman by get ting three in the fifth on an RBI double by Hubie Brooks and run- seoring singles by Tim Wallach and Webster. The Expos would have added mor ehad it not been for a double play started by Samuel after he made a diving stab of Luis Rivera's grounder and Billy t odds ejection for arguing any call, stuck (o his word and stayed off the field Monday night. But following the game, he asserted his act ions would change. “T'll be out on the field all day,” he vowed. “Every time I want to go out I will go out on the field and I will argue and do everything a manager is supposed to do. I defy Richie Phillips to stop me.” Phillips, head of the umpires’ union, had said Martin isn’t like any other manager and won't be treated like one. “Billy will be singled out,” Phillips said. “He will be treated differently because he has treated umpires differently than any other manager.” Earlier this season, Cincinnati's Pete Rose was suspended 30 days and fined $10,000 by National League The umpires’ later re leased a statement saying: “Due to Billy Martin's apology and his promise of good behavior, Billy will be permitted to go on the playing field to question umpires.” Ueberroth said he was assured neither Martin nor the Yankees would file suit against umpires, as Martin had threatened * after Mon day's 3-2 loss to Boston.
