But another energy expert, Jeff Passmore, told the committee Canada will have to import much of the new technology because Ottawa has stacked the deck against domestic manufacturers.

Not to finish fourth. Or alter- natively, for the Nelson Maple Leafs to get lost on a road trip and never find their way back to the Kootenay Inter- national Junior Hockey League. At the midway point of the season, those four items, in order, are what would appear on the Christmas wish list of the Castlegar Rebels. Except for No. 3, the wishes are all related. "With consistency comes up: ward mobility. And upward mobility would move the Rebels out of fourth place, which they currently hold, and into second or third in the KIJHL's West Division. The Rebels’ 14 points — seven wins, 11 losses — puts the team four points behind third-place Grand Forks and 10 behind second-place Trail. And while the Rebels look upward in their division, Beaver Valley is right below them, four points back, also looking to get the fourth and final playoffspot The Rebels coaching staff hopes that by mid-January Beaver Valley will be fighting for fourth with Grand Forks while the Rebels rest comfortably in third. The reason the Rebels (or any other team) don’t want to finish fourth is because it would mean a first-round playoff against the first-place Nelson Maple Leafs. The Maple Leafs have a 17-0 record so far this season and few teams have come close to breaking that unbeaten string. The Leafs are one thing teams would rather avoid then attempt to tackle right off, and the Rebels are no exception. According to Rebels co-coach Ed Cooper, it’s not a wish list that is unrealistic. The coaches say the team has been working hard and if the Rebels can start consistently beating MIKE KORZENOWSKI ... trouble on way? teams in their own division they can make a move in the standings. Changes in forecast as Canucks slide VANCOUVER (CP) — Vancouver Canucks fans had renewed hopes for a bright National Hockey League season in 1989-90 with the signing of Soviet stars Igor Larionov and Viadimir Krutov. But a fast start that had them challenging the Calgary Flames for first place early in the season has degenerated in. toan autumn skid. The NHL franchise, marking the 20th anniversary, is at least adequate, if not more than adequate."’ If Lenardon, a six-foot-two, 185-pound Trail native, iscalled up, it will produce a crowd on the left side. Petri Skriko leads the Canucks in points, Greg Adams leads in goals and Viadimor Krutov is still adjusting with 15 points in 20 games, That leaves the fourth-line enforcer spot usually reser ved for Daryl Stanley or Craig Coxe. leak, the provincial Ministry confirmed Tuesday It was only after the ministry threatened to shut down the mill that the discharge was stopped, a ministry spokesman said The Canadian Pacific Forest Products mill at Gold River, on central Vancouver Island, discharged about 117 tonnes of pulp; its pollution permit allows for 39 tonnes of solid wastes to be discharged over three days Environment You are pollution — stopped the machinery causing the spill on the third day “We were addressing some serious options,"’ Ron Bollans, environment ministry officer for the area, said Tuesday “One . . . included something like a shutdown or partial shutdown, When we conveyed our concern to the com- pany they took appropriate respon- ses invited A bit of spill is expected during new start-ups but this was excess of the permit,” said Bollans He said he was concerned the com pany didn’t notify officials about the spill earlier.

But two points — not style points — are what counts in NHL games. Coach Bob McCammon, who has gone essentially with the same lineup since training camp, is hinting at a shakeup 7 “We may have to make a couple of changes in the lineup to make us better,” McCammon said this week “Obviously, our talent guys aren't scoring.”” If the Canucks change their team mix with a promotion from the Milwaukee farm team in the Inter- national League, the likely candidates are left winger Tim Lenardon and centre Rob Murphy. Lenardon, 27, leads the Admirals in scoring with 14 goals and 33 points while Murphy, 20, is the team’s top playmaker with 20 assists “‘Lenardon has probably been our steadiest player sin. ce Day 1," said Milwaukee coach Ron Lapointe. “‘He’s not a physically dominant player but he finishes all his checks and eliminates his man from the play. He goes to the net hard, he’s got a really good shot and his skating is “‘Lenardon is a veteran player ahd he could be used for spot duty,” said Lapointe. ‘*Murphy’s in a little different situation. He’s a first-year pro who has played well 90 pet cent of the time.”” “‘He’s not as accomplished defensively as Lenardon but offensively he probably has better natural skills than a lot of players up there right now.”” McCammon admits he has too many finesse players and not enough bangers. But at six foot four and 205 pounds, Murphy has the size and is capable of providing a physical ingredient “He has been pushing people off the puck at this level,” said Lapointe. McCammon would have several options if Murphy is called up. With Barry Pederson (broken thumb) still two weeks away, fourth-line centre Steve Bozek could sit out or Trevor Lnden could be switched back to right wing. McCammon can also look forward to another bright spot Defenceman Paul Reinhart (sprained ankle) is expec ted back tonight when the Canucks play host to the Toron. to Maple Leafs e season to be jolly’ “We definitely have to beat those teams in our division and then maybe pick away at the other (East) division and get a game here and there,” Cooper said at the team's regular Tuesday night practice With the exception of Trail who beat the Rebels 9-4 Saturday — and Nelson, the Rebels have beaten the other three teams (Grand Forks, Beaver Valley and Rossland) in their division But the missing ingredient remains consistency “That's what moves you up in the standings arid that’s the only thing,’” says Cooper. “You can’t win one lose one, win two, lose two. If you're going to move up you have to put something together.”” Forward Mike Korzenowski says the players realize winning one game in a row just isn’t enough “Look, we win 12-1 one night (over Rossland Friday) then lose 9-4 (to Trail) the next night. Look at the dif ference," says Korzenowski Teammate Brent Makeiv says it’s not a question of talent “‘We-can beat all those teams and we will,’* he says But both coaches and players have to keep one eye on the scoreboard and the othér on the calender “It's only a 35, 40-game schedule,’ says Cooper, “‘and we're already half way there. We only have nine home games left after Christmas.” The third item on the wish list, the need for a couple More quality players, is one that has been there since the beginning of the season and becomes more important as the Rebels depth chart becomes virtually nonexistant Remi Lavallee, a good goal-scoring forward, joined _a_growing—list_of departures from the club when he left this week for his parents’ home in Kelowna. His brother Dan, a defen- cemen with the Rebels, says his younger brother, 16, was having dif- ficulties keeping his grades up in high school and perhaps was a little homesick Korzenowski said the situation isn’t critical but it could get that way. “I'd be nice to have some new players because we're short right now and if we gotan injury, we'd be in real trouble,’ he said. So while the Rebels currently may not be in the Christmas spirit, there is hope that December will be a month to celebrate if the team can grant itself its own wishes. BENCH BANTER: Castlegar was outshot 44-26 by Traik; Kevin Kazakoff with two, Keith Semenoff and Makiev scored for the Rebels, while Dwayne Dergousoff had two assists, along with Remi Lavallee-in what was probably his final game in a Rebels uniform. Stan Makortoff got the call in goal for the Rebels. CFL gets more fans TORONTO (CP) — Attendance at Canadian. Football League games was up an average of 1,302 fans a game to 25,530 during the regular season, but league president Bill Baker says problems stillexist “As a league we've spent far too much time on crisis management, we have to get away from that and start dealing with the future,’ Baker said Monday. ‘*We haven't done enough this year to sell the league.”” The average attendance com- pares with 24,228 for games a year ago, and represents a total increase of 93,744 fans across the country Two clubs which had monetary problems, B.C., and Ottawa, suf- fered at the turnstile. Ottawa's attendance was down an average of 1,769, the worst in the league, while the Lions saw 312 fewer people come out to see each game Saskatchewan, with a drop of 1,380 fans a game, and Winnipeg, down 698, also suffered attendan- ce decreases, but Argo fans more than made up for them. Toronto led the CFL's mini-resurgence, as an average of 35,069 people dotted the SkyDome for nine home dates, up 11,911 agame from last season. Boo birds for Lemieux as Flyers beat Pens Mario Lemieux heard some boos in his home rink, which is a pretty good indication of how badly things are going for the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Penguins lost 6-3 to the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday night in the opener of a home-and-home series with their Patrick Division rivals. It was the first meeting between the clubs since Philadelphia elminated Pittsburgh in the division finals last April The loss was the Penguins third straight at home — and some of the fans who remained booed when Lemieux touched the puck in the third period Lemieux had two assists to extend his point-soering streak to an NHL best 13 games. But he had only two of Pittsburgh’s 36 shots on goal and wasn'ta factor in the game In other games, it was: New Jersey 3, NY Islanders 2 in overtime; Buffalo 4, Hartford 2; and Boston 5, St. Louis 1 BOOS RARE Boos aren't something Lemieux usually hears at the Civic Arena. “It does have an effect,” he says. “If I'm not playing well they’re allowed to boo, which they did tonight. All I can do is do my best to help the team. If that doésn’t work, try something else.” SABRES 4 WHALERS 2 Buffalo improved its Adams Division record to 9-2-1 to remain atop the league standings with a 16-5-4 per formance. Phil Housley reached the $00-point plateau in the first period with an assist and he scored in the second. Christian Ruuttu, Mike Foligno and Mike Ramsey netted the Sabres’ other goals.

Lions. It started with the firing of general manager Joe Galat and former team president Stu Kehoe. Kapp then in troduced his hand-picked new head coach, personal friend Lary Kuharich. Kapp, named president of the Canadian Football League team last Thursday, wasted little time in putting his personal stamp on operations. He also indicated he would serve as the team’s general manager “If there’s no dealing with the football side of it, where’s the fun?” Kapp told a news conference. ‘Right now I’m going to actively counsel Lary and have some fun withit."” Kuharich, 43, used a clause in his contract with the Calgary Stampeders to resign as head coach after four of ten volatile years with the Stampeders. Calgary was second in the West Division this year with a 10-8 record He replaces Galat, who took over the B.C. coaching duties from Larry Donovan when the Lions had an 0-4 start tothe 1989 season. B.C. finished last in the western standings with a 7-11 record and missed the playoffs, although the Lions were a 500 team with Galat as coach Galat, 47, joined the Lions as general manager in 1986. A year latér he fired h¢ad coach Don Matthews, who had an impressive winning record in five years with the team, over personal differences. Donovan replaced Matthews. The Lions lured Kehoe, also 47, from baseball last March as executive| vice-presdient when the debt-ridden team was community-owned. Stock promoter Murray Pezim purchased the club in September and elevated Kehoe to president Kehoe and Galat both were unavailable for comment after their dismissal following a morning meeting with Kapp. “We're taking the B.C. Lions in a new direction,” said Kapp, the former Lion quarterback and member of the Canadian Football Hall of Fame. *‘Laiy is in charge of all football personnel.” Kuharich, whose father, Joe, coached at Notre Dame and in the National Football League, was a controversial figure in Calgary, often at odds with fans and reporters. His Calgary coaching record was 24-22 After the Stamps lost 33-26 to the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the western semifinal Nov. 19, Kuharich made an obscene gesture to fans. He later swore during a post-game open-line radio show Big bucks back in ball Fiscal restraint is out, wild spending is in.

Candy Maldonado, a 29-year-old outfieltier who batted .217 last season with the San Francisco Giants, signed a one-year, $825,000 contract with the Cleveland Indians.
