Smythe gains respect

By JOHN KOROBANIK
The Canadian Press

The National Hockey League's Smythe Division used
to We ridiculed and laughed at; called the Snooze Division.

No longer.

After three straight years in the Stanley Cup final
the division now brags about having the champions —
Edmonton Oilers — and earning new respect.

Only the Oilers, with the best record in the NHL, and
Calgary Flames finished above .500 last season but
Vancouver Canucks and Winnipeg Jets were both close.

It's doubtful any of the division rivals will seriously
challenge the Oilers’ bid for a fourth straight seasonal
title. Nor is it likely anyone will sink to the Los Angeles
Kings’ level of ineptness. But it could take the final week
of the schedule before Calgary, Vancouver and Winnipeg
get settled, likely in that order.

EDMONTON OILERS

Fiesty centre Ken Linseman was traded to Boston
for Mike Krushelnyski who will likely start at left wing
for Wayne Gretzky and Jari Kurri.

's absence will weaken the Oilers at centre
and Krushelnyski could move there during the season.
Other likely newcomers are forwards Raimo Summanen
and Mare Habsheid.

Edmonton will still have the league's best offence
with Gretzky, Mark Messier, Kurri and Glenn Anderson
all potential 50-goal scorers.

There's likely no change on defence, anchored by
Kevin Lowe and Paul Coffey, but it should improve with
= age.-Andy Moog and.Grant Fubr provide solid goal

tending. 3 ,

The quesions are how the Canada Cup experience
will affect the eight Oilers who played and how will the
club, often regarded as the most arrogant in hockey,
conduet itself as champions.

CALGARY FLAMES

The Flames appear settled with basically the same
roster than nearly knocked off Edmonton in a seven-game
series last spring.

Steve Bozek (broken finger) will miss several weeks
and Doug Risebrough will sit out a six-game suspension
received in that playoff.

After watching Kent Nilsson and Haakan Loob play

so well together in the Canada Cup, coach Bob Johnson
will leave them together, likely with Mike Eaves if he's
healthy.

Johnson has made a couple of line shifts but most of
the bodies are familar. That’s the same case on the
defence, anchored by a healthy Paul Reinhart.

Calgary is set in goal with Rejean Lemelin, one of the
best in the NHL, and Don Edwards, who improved last
season after working with Glen Hall.

VANCOUVER CANUCKS

New coach Bill Laforge takes his fighting reputation
to Vancouver but it’s difficult to visualize the Canucks
playing Laforge-style hockey.

The defence will be more mobile without Harold
Snepsts and with Mice} Petit, Rick Lanz and rookie J.J.
Daigneault. And the only problem in goal is deciding who
to keep — Richard Brodeur, John Garrett or Frank
Caprice.

But in the era of offence, the Canucks lack scorers.
They'll need big years from Tony Tanti (45 goals) and
Patrik Sundstrom (38 goals).

WINNIPEG JETS

Their strength is skating and offence. Only five
teams scored more than the Jets last season. They have
strength down the middle with centres Dale Hawerchuk,
Laurie Boschman and Thomas Steen. The addition of left
winger Perry Turnbull will further strengthen the
attack.

Defence is the problem. Winnipeg gave up 374 goals
last season — fourth worst in the NHL. Slowfooted
veterans Randy Caryle and Robert Picard, obtained
during last season, may help the defence but more
important will be the maturity of Dave Babych, Tim
Watters and Jim Kyte.

LOS ANGELES KINGS

Ironically, the worst team in the division last year
was also the only team in the division to beat Edmonton
twice.

Los Angeles has the same problems as Winnipeg — a
competitive offence but weak defence. Pat Quinn, the
latest coach to try to turn things around in Los Angeles,
was tempted to keep rookie scoring star Brian Wilks but
returned him to junior.

Hammock. “With what I hit
him with, I'm very surprised
he didn't go down.”

Hammock circled and
danced around his 22-year-
old opponent early in the
fight, hoping he’d be able to
exhaust O'Sullivan enough to
capitalize in the latter

Hammock, who had called
O'Sullivan a “lazy” fighter
prior to the bout, had nothing
but praise for him after
wards.

“He showed me a left hook
that I knew nothing about
said Hammock, whose right
eye was black and blue and
nearly closed. “Does it look
like he's a lazy fighter?”

said.

British Columbia's Social

Hydro at a crossroad

VANCOUVER (CP) — The recession has ended Britist
Columbia Hydro's dam-building projects for the time being
but it's also sparked discussion of whether Hydro should
follow the path blazed by Ontario and Quebec and begin
exporting hydroelectricity on a large scale.

B.C. Hydro is at a crossroad

It can wind down to little more than a service company
until the next major project is needed, probably not until the
mid-1990s. Or it can begin building major projects to supply
long-term power to places like California and Alberta which
now rely heavily on electricity generated by expensive fossi)
fuels.

The decision is not Hydro's alone. The provincial
government must decide whether the potential rewards are
sufficient to compensate British Columbians for flooding
more of their river valleys. And a complex interconnection of
state governments and utilities in the United States will
determine if there are any buyers and if there is transmis
sion capability.

Two weeks ago Hydro chairman Robert Bonner
announced that the Crown corporation was slashing its
engineering staff by at least 50 per cent in an attempt to
reduce costs a move that suggested Hydro, which has
already reduced its staff by 2,000 to 8,000 in the last two
years, was about to become a service company

But Bill Best, the man appointed to Hydro's newly
created vice-president of marketing position responsible for
selling the huge electricity surplus created because Hydro's
forecasted load growths turned out to be wildly optimistic,
said in a recent interview the loss of the engineering staff
does not rule out a major exporting push

RELIES ON OUTSIDERS
In the past, Hydro has relied on engineering staff from
outside the corporation, said Best, adding that it could do so

again if necessary

Bonner said the primary problem now is whether Hydro
can get access to U.S. power transmission lines to move the
electricity to California on a regular basis to meet firm

contracts.

“We would need assurances that we would have access
to sufficient inter-tie capacity,” Bonner said in a recent
interview, adding that plans are afoot in the United States to
increase the transmission capacity in the northwest by 1988
or 1989.

There are many difficulties in the way of enlarging
transmission capacity, he said, “but not withstanding these
difficulties the Americans will eventually upgrade the
inter-tie.”

Richard Gathercole, a public interest advocacy lawyer
who has worked extensively on Hydro issues in the past, is
ppposed to a major exporting push

“Forget the environmental reasons, it
economic sense,” he said in an interview

There may not be a market in California for electricity
priced at a rate high enough for British Columbia to pay for
the cost of building a massive hydroelectric project, he said
citing advances in energy-efficiency technology and the con
struction of expensive nuclear plants in California

Energy Minister Stephen Rogers tended to agree with
that position earlier this year but recently his opinion has
changed

makes no

COULD PRE-BUILD

Rogers said in an interview that he is now considering a
plan to begin construction of the Site C dam on the Peace
River in northeastern B.C. — Hydro's next major project on
the drawing board but one that had been officially postponed
until the 1990s to sell power to California

“We could pre-build something now that we know we
will need in the future.” he said.

Rogers said his position has changed because Cali
fornia’s position has changed

“We're haring a greater interest expressed by Cali
fornia for importing these days. In the long term, past
1989-90-91, based on our current projections, it looks like
they will be in a position to import power.”

He cited three reasons for the change: California's
exceptionally strong economic recovery; the water situation
in Washington state) and the fact that British Columbia's
own power surplus is even greater than anticipated just a
few months ago.

But Rogers said any question of exporting power
depends on decisions in the United States about transmis
sion capacity until those decisions are made there's no
need for the government to change its export policies.

Police
raid movie
libraries

JOHANNESBURG (AP)
— Security police Tuesday
raided photographic and
movie libraries used by
church groups opposed to
South Africa's racial separ-
ation laws.

The libraries share an of.
fice building with the South
African Council of Churches,
one of the contenders for the
Nobel Peace Prize to be an-
nounced next week in Oslo,
Norway

Daniel Vaughan, the Coun.
cil of Churches’ acting gen:
eral secretary, said there was
no financial link between his
organization and the offices
that were raided, “but we
would support their aspira.
tions.”

Police carted at least five
boxes of film, movie reels and
video cassettes from the sec
ond-floor offices after barring
reporters from entering the
premises in Khotso House
near the Johannesburg Train
Station. Police did not appear
to make any arrests.

The libraries provide mat.
erial to groups publishing in.
formation on the white.
minority government's sys.
tem of race separation known
as apartheid.

The raid may have been an
evidence-gathering expedi.
tion. Police last month seized
television cameramen’s film
on funerals for victims of re
cent riots in black townships.

The cameramen said they
were told police intended to
use the film taken from them
as evidence in court cases,
presumably against people
who threw stones at police
vehicles after the funeral.
Videos and pictures from the
funerals were presumably in
the libraries.

Also today, Minister of
Law and Order Louis le
Grange announced he was
pulling army troops out of

riot-torn black townships
where they had been de.
ployed on the weekend to
support _ police.

Le Grange said unrest in
the townships had dimin
ished and that the army

would return if violence flar
ed anew

In the Indian Ocean port of
Durban, three opposition pol.
iticians spent their 27th day
holed up in the British Con
sulate. They are taking re
fuge behind the mission's
diplomatic immunity from
security police who have or.
ders to arrest the men with.
out charges.
