Griffiths, 28, had been des- cribed as “assistant to the chairman,” when he was called by the defence in the B.C. Supreme Court suit by former coach Roger Neilson, 52. Neilson, now ‘co-coach of the Chicago Black Hawks, claims the Canucks owe him $173,500 for the remaining 1% years of his guaranteed contract after he was fired Jan. 18, 1984.

Then he looked at Mac- donell who indicated he was still expecting a fuller an- swer. “They report to me,” said Griffiths. “But what do you do?” the judge persisted. “I report to the chairmap of the board of directors.” “Was the chairman run- ning the club?” Macdonell asked. “No,” answered Griffiths. WANTS ANSWERS Canucks lawyer Richard Hamilton said Griffiths could not be asked to interpret the contract with Neilson, but Macdonell replied that be- cause “everyone reported to him, 1 would think he should be familiar with the con- tracts.

Neilson's lawyers say if the termination clause was used, the club would owe him $113,500, but because it was not used, it owes him an additional $60,000, being the balance of his “guaranteed” salary of $120,000 for the 1984-85 season. When Griffiths said he did not recall being offered the chance to exercise the buy- out in the spring of 1984, Macdonell snapped: “Don't try to outthink counsel or me. that the lawyer could deal with the objection in his closing argu- ment, “in the meantime, I want an answer.” Griffiths then agreed there were no other terms in the contract for firing the coach except those specifically cov- ered. Earlier, Harry Neale, 49, who was seven years with the Canucks as coach and, for his last three years, general manager, testified about the decision to fire Neilson. Neale himself was fired in May 1985 has since worked for the Detroit Red Wings, but was terminated there. He admitted he is still on the Canucks’ payroll. In talks with Griffiths, Neale said he felt that unless something happened, “two heads will roll; it was the classic case of the coach goes before the general manager.

Dryden, who will leave the $60,000-a-year ‘post this KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — The $2 rat that Oakland slugger Dave Kingman. had delivered to a female sportswriter has cost him $3,500. And he could lose his job if “an incident of a similar nature” takes place, the American League baseball club said Tuesday night. Kingman, meanwhile, remained non-committal and the rodent has found a home with a five-year-old Kansas City boy. Sandy Alderson, the A's vice-president for baseball operations, announced dur- ing the A’s-Kansas City game Tuesday night that Kingman had been fined out further compensation if an incident of a similar nature occurs in the fu- ture.” Kingman, 37, has a one- year contract with the A's for $600,000. The veteran, who has been in controversy be- fore, dressed and left Ro yals Stadium without ac- knowledging the writers clustered around him. NAMED SUE On Monday night, King- Rat costs Dave Kingman man had a Royals Stadium guard deliver a pink box to Susan Fornoff of the Sac- ramento Bee during the first inning of Oakland's game with the Royals. In- side was a small rat — at first thought to be a mouse — with a label that said, My name is Sue. Although Kingman later labelled the rodent “a $2 rat” and said he was mere- ly pulling a practical joke, Fornoff wasn't amused. She said she has been harassed imes by King- man since she began cover- ing the A’s last season. She said the ballplayer has told her he doesn't believe women belong in the club- house. The club's statement said the A's deeply regret Kingman's conduct and have apologized to Fornoff. Fornoff handed the ro- dent Monday night to a stadium employee, who gave it to a friend's five- year-old boy. Before Tues- day night's game, Kingman sent word that he would pay $75 for the animal, but the boy tearfully pleaded with his father not to give it up because he has be- come attached to it.

Scotties Marina reports that fishing was somewhat improved towards the end of last week (June 16-22). Catches of the week included: Shirley Barton and Enie Geronazzo from Rossland, who limited out on kokanee; Bob Worley of Blueberry with a one-pound three-ounce kokanee; John of Genelle with a one-pound rainbow and 10 kokanee; Earl Mohn of Blueberry with a one-pound rainbow and several kokanee. The 10,000 fish in the netpen at Scottie’s are being transported to Deer Creek on Thursday In other news, a group of volunteers have installed 24 mooring bouys up the lake. The bouys are for motor boats as well as sailboats. © Castlegar man wins derby A Castlegar man won first prize in the first Father's Day fishing derby put on by the Nelson Lions Club. John Makortoff reeled in a 22%»-pound rainbow trout from Kootenay Lake, beating all other anglers in the field of 200-plus. His first placing earned him $1,000. Second place went to J.E. Wasick of Robson, who won $300 while G. Penner took third prize in $150. Prize money totallilng $2,000 was awarded by the Lions Club to the top fisher. men, with $700 more in cash fos and merchandise raffled off among all entrants. Pal NO QUICK CHANGE ‘The rates are “still very high and they're likely likely to remain very high for some time, coming down only inerementally, only very slowly and almost unnoticeably,” the 38-year-old Dryden said in an interview, His reflections on his two-year term are sobering. In an era of technological change, “the term dead-end job is just that,” Dryden says, and the fact that Canada has not seen the kind of protests common in other countries among unemployed young people “is no reflection on the absence of a price that is paid. “You can pretend pretty easily that there isn’t a cost when you don't see that kind of protest — when you're able to say there's a lazy kid over here or a kid with too high expectations over there, when you can find a way of explaining it away. “But there is a price — in family structure, rates of crime, health-care costs — we pay as well as the guy who's unemployed.” DROPOUTS HIGH High-school dropout rates are still surprisingly high, with only six in 10 Ontario students completing Grade 12 and only 25 per cent graduating frotn Grade 13. “The biggest shock I had to deal with was the dropout rates,” he says. “I had no idea. I find it absolutely astonishing that a greater priority has not been put there.” Dryden is an articulate lawyer and author whose book The Game, about his hockey career, received critical acclaim. He was the backbone of Montreal Canadiens in six Stanley Cup victories during a nine-year National Hockey League career that began in 1970; he gained five Vezina Trophies as the league's outstanding goalie and won a place in the Hockey Hall of Fame. Tall as goaltenders go, the six-foot-four Dryden was not particularly stylish, but usually effective, his trademark pose during halts in a game — mask tilted back, arms crossed hands resting on top of his goalstick — conjured up workmanlike images of a farmer propped on a pitchfork while surveying his crops. IN GOOD SHAPE These days, the bespectacled father of two is 10 pounds under his playing weight and has an unlined face that's the envy of goalies who toiled before the advent of face masks. He walks to work from his midtown Toronto home, plays old-tiers’ hockey once a week in the winter and slow-pitch softball in the summer. Ontario's former Conservative government hoped that i such a ll-k. lity to the youth commissioner's post would focus attention on the problems of the young. The job has had its satisfactions, Dryden says, but “I'm the sort of person that sees what isn't being done as opposed to what is being done. “It’s the frustration that takes precedence over the performance.” Despite the difficulties of his first foray into public life, Dryden says helping young people is still the area where he wants to work.

Leaders take vacations By ALAN BASS OTTAWA (CP) — Nomore Commons, ;no more spats, no more questions from angry Rats. Parliament adjourns for a two-month summer recess this week after a long and sometimes nasty session, and most of the nation’s leaders can hardly wait to escape Ottawa for some good old-fashioned rest and i Most will keep working for much of the summer, but at) a more relaxed pace. Many are looking forward to summer vacations that range from wilderness canoe trips and bicycle tours in Europe to a few quiet weeks at family cottages. Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, whose big expense accounts for official travel have stirred controversy, hasn't made plans to vacation outside the country, aide Michel Gratton said. Instead, Mulroney is likely to spend some time at the prime minister's summer residence on Harrington Lake, just north of Ottawa in Quebec's Gatiheau Hills. Commons or no Commons, Mulroney still has lots of work to do this summer, including planning an expected mid-term cabinet shuffle. Mulroney will also head occasional summer cabinet meetings, beginning next week with a meeting in Saskatoon of the cabinet's key priorities and planning committee. In August, Mulroney will attend a Commonwealth heads of government meeting in London to discuss economic sanctions against South Africa. Liberal Leader John Turner, facing a possible challenge to his leadership at a party convention next fall, will travel the country during the first three weeks of July to press the flesh at Liberal party picnics and barbecues. Then he'll spend a week or two on a family canoeing expedition on the remote Coppermine River in the Northwest Territories. He also plans to spend some time at his family cottage on Lake of the Woods near Kenora, Ont. NDP Leader Ed Broadbent will spend a few weeks touring rural Quebec with his wife and daughter in the relative comfort of a seven-metre camper van. “He's been talking for years about doing this,” said Broadbent aide Tim Woods. “A few years ago, he went camping. I don't think it was quite to his taste.” Broadbent also hopes to spend a few days taking in the sea air at a favorite hideaway in Maine. Although most MPs won't hang around Ottawa much this summer, Liberal Sheila Copps and several other MPs will stay in town for a few weeks to work on a Commons committee holding hearings into sanctions against South Africa. Copps, a member of the so-called Rat Pack of Liberal MPs who make torturing ministers their speciality, then plans to spend a few weeks relaxing at her family's cottage on Lake Erie “with the phone pulled out, and do nothing but rest my brain.” Trade Minister Jim Kelleher, according to an aide, plans to spend his summer keeping abreast of freer-trade negotiations with the United States. He'll also take a two-week French immersion course. External Affairs Minister Joe Clark will spend three weeks relaxing at an undisclosed spot in Europe. Employment Minister Flora MacDonald is eyeing @ 10-day bicycle tour of the Brittany region of France. Solicitor General Perrin Beatty, meanwhile, will spend two weeks travelling through Pakistan, Thailand, Malaysia and Hong Kong to discuss with local officials how to stem the flow of heroin to Canada. Opposition MPs say the trip's a junket, but aides insist it’s all work.
