The 20-year-old defenceman was one of the best players on the ice as the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated Dynamo Moscow, the H New suit or not, Dodynyuk hasn't. won over Leafs coach Tom Watt yet. “We're not going to make any quick judgments on him,” Watt said. ‘He's received a lot of atten- tion because he’s the first Soviet player to play for this team, but we don’t want to rush him."" He G ik would be Soviet league champions, 7-4 Tuesday night. “We went shopping the other day and bought a beautiful suit, by a designer, that cost $800,” agent Vitali Shevchenko said of his client’s elegant threads: ‘‘I told him that if you play in the NHL you have to dress well.’’ The Leafs brought Godynyuk in from the AHL’s Newmarket Saints for the exhibition, making him the first_Soviet_to_ever perform in a The Leafs signed Godynyuk to a two-year deal last week, worth about $125,000 a year, after acquiring his rights from Sokol Kiev for about $100,000. They had drafted Godynyuk last June. “*Hockey is played at a very high level in North America,’’. Godynyuk said through an interpreter. ‘There are so many good teams in the NHL. “But when you see a team that is down 4-2 score five goals in the third period and win, that is the team you want to play for. That is a team that is a winner.”” Godynyuk’s father is a factory worker and his mother an engineer im Kiev. He telephoned them at Christmas to tell them of his NHL contract. “*He has adjusted very well to life here,"’ said’ Shevchenko. “I told him, -‘This is your home now. The NHL wilt give you-e future.’ ”” returned to the Saints. With veterans Brad Marsh and Tom Kurvers unable to win lineup spots on a rejuvenated club — 7-4-1 in December — Watt is reluctant to rock the boat by in a relative Kevin Maguire and Dave Hannan, with his second goal of the night, scored within 11 seconds midway through the third period to spark Toronto’s comeback. Vince Dam- phouse, Dan Marois and Al Iafrate fed the fire. Rob Pearson, sum- moned from the Oshawa Genefals juniors for the game, scored in the first period. Dmitri Filimonov, with two goals, Alex Semak and Igor Dorofeyev scored for Dynamo, playing its first of seven exhibition games against NHL teams as part of the Super Series involving three Soviet club teams hitting every league city. The crowd — 11,300 — was 5,000 under capacity but, with a 2-for-1 ticket promotion by a supermarket chain, it wasn’t a typically staid Leafs home crowd. They waved flags,stomped, stood in waves and screamed ‘‘Go, Leafs, go’ throughout the third-period rally.

Craig Swanson and Horcoff added singles. ; Wayne Stolz gave a strong performance for Castlegar between the “pipes as the locals were outshot 42-22. Leading up to Sunday’s final the blue and gold had to face tough ‘AAA’ teams from Kamloops, Cranbrook and Prince George. In the opening game Thursday_the opposition was Kamloops Minor. Falling behind early the locals found themselves down 3-0 in the second before the wheels were put in motion. Horcoff got things going scoring at the midway mark with Pottle and Hunter following to tie the score at three at the 11:49 mark. Pottle scored his second to give Castlegar the first lead of the game. Less than 20 seconds later the power. went out putting the game on hold for an hour and a half. When the lights “did come on the Pee Wees never let up and iced the victory with Swanson scoring with one minute left to win the game 5-3. Jeremy Ross had a fine game picking up four assists. Friday morning the opposition was East Kootenay rival — Cran- brook. In one of those games where none of the bounces went Castlegar’s way and all the bounces went Cranbrook’s way, the Reps found themselves behind 6-2 after two, eventually losing 9-4. Next up, was the tough Kamloops Major. Undefeated entering the game, the Majors took the lead with only 11 seconds gone. The Majors added another marker late in the period to lead by two after one. The second period was scoreless setting the stage for the last minute heroics with 2:36 left in the game. Pottle on a feed from Swanson cut the lead to one.

Saturday’s only game had the locals shooting it out with one of the eventual ‘‘A’’ finalist teams — Prince George. Not to be outdone the “Cardiac Kids" dug down deep and once again pulled another tie out of the hat with Hunter and Pottle tieing the game in the last two minutes. Next up for the Reps is Saturday at the Pioneer Arena, in a league game against Spokane. MIDGET REPS The Castlegar Midget Reps travelled to Spokane for a three-day tourney Dec. 28-30 and came home with an impressive second-place finish. The first game was against Penticton, but Penticton forfeited the two points by not showing up, so Castlegar took advantage of the ice and held a light practice. 4 Castlegar played very well in their second and last playoff game. Barrhead, again played a fast-paced, great-goaltending game and Barrhead was ahead 1-0 after one period. Castlegar got only one goal in the second period with Barrhead managing two. Castlegar’s goal came from Cutler. Castlegar got the extra attacker on the ice with about 45 seconds left but didn’t manage to tie the game, but with about eight “ seconds left, Barrhead scored an empty-netter to finish the game 4-2. Joel Audet was in net and played a great game. In the first playoff game Sunday against Syivan Lake, Alta., it was another fast-paced game with the first two periods being even. Shane- Cutler from Lalonde ended the period 1-1. In the second period Dustin Rilcof scored from Ryan Jolly and Da Costa to end the second period 2-2. In the third period, goaltending from Vaughn Welychko kept Syivan Lake scoreless while Cutler got the game-winning goal on a pass from Strilaeff to give Castlegar the 3-2 win. Against Spokane in the second surge Castlegar started the scoring in the first period with Strilaeff getting the first goal, assisted by Da Costa and Rilcof.

Gap shocks equity group OTTAWA (CP) — The gap bet- ween what men and women earn isn’t ‘decreasing, figures from Statistics Canada suggest. Women working full-time in 1989 earned an average of $23,091, or 65:8 per cent of the average man’s wage of $35,073, says a report released recently. That’s virtually unchanged since 1984, when women earned 65.6 per cent of what men were paid. Phebe-Jane Poole, head of the employment equity committee at the National Action Committee on the Status of Women, said it’s shocking that the wage gap d only 0.2 British Columbia, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brun- swick and Manitoba — have pay equity only in the public sector. On- tario legislation includes public and Private sectors, but doesn’t cover hundreds of thousands of women in smaller companies Gr in female- dominated occupations. The federal equity law has been criticized for not having penalties for employers who don’t comply. UtiliCorp announces 6.5 per cent increase UtiliCorp United recently announ- ced that its Michigan Gas Utilities division has filed a request with the percentage points over that period. “It proves that employers are doing absolutely nothing to change their discriminatory pay practices and will do little on their own initiatives,"’ said Poole. She said the figures show the need to strengthen federal and provincial pay equity legislation and extend such laws to cover all working women. In recent years, the federal gover- nment and some provinces have passed laws requiring women to be paid the same as men working in jobs that require equal skills, respon- sibility and education. But many provinces — including Public Service Ci to increase natural gas rates by $7.8 million, or 6.5 per cént annually. UtiliCorp is the parent company of West Kootenay Power, which also recently announced a rate increase of five per cent. Michigan Gas Utilities President James G.

These construc- tion projects enable Michigan Gas Utilities to buy natural gas at lower Costs, a news felease said. Miller said it has also requested — in for fees and service line extension fees. Michigan Gas last requested a rate increase in 1984. Customers now pay prices that are lower than any time since 1981. The average annual bill of a residential customer using 20,000 cubic feet of natural gas would increase by $45.74. “This request is directly related to our continuing efforts to maintain high standards for safety, reliability and service,’ Miller said. “‘We are constantly striving to achieve ef- fick in our that will Realty, Barb Brink, Hotel V ry Fox Lab.
