Nystrom acquitted of shoplifting

OTTAWA (CP) — New Democrat MP Lorne
Nystrom walked away from provincial court with an
acquittal and a sense of relief Tuesday after convincing the
judge he didn’t mean to steal eight dollars worth of
drugstore merchandise ~

“Back to normal,"’ the 43-year-old Nystrom told
reporters after Judge Brian Lennox delivered the verdict of
not guilty.

Lennox, who heard. the case without a jury, observed
the Saskatchewan MP only needed to raise a reasonable
doubt of criminal intent to win acquittal on a shoplifting
charge. ‘
But Nystrom did more, arguing that he was distracted
and pre-occupied by political duties and personal ills the
day he absént-mindedly walked out of Shoppers Drug Mart
with two contact lens cleaning discs valued at $7.79.

When Crown attorney Hilary McCormack suggested

CARPETING — FURNITURE — FURNITURE ITEMS — SLEEP
SETS — MAJOR APPLIANCES — TELEVISION SETS — LAMPS

he had intentionally pocketed the discs, a cool and com:
posed Nystrom responded: ‘I’m not that kind of person. I
have never done that and I will never do that,

“If it was honest mistake, | would have known it
was a mistake,’’ she insisted.
But Nystrom said he was pre-occupied with thoughts

Lenn&x accepted the defence of ab:
saying Nystrom’s explanation was more than reasonable
“Lam satisfied, on the basis of his evidence alone, that it is
true."”

Mindy Gosman, a drugstore security guard, had
testified she watched last Nov. 29 as Nystrom picked up a
package of lens cleaning discs, took the two discs from the
box and put them in his pocket. He then put the package
back on the display shelf, she said

DIDN'T PAY

On his way out of the store, Nystrom paid for two
toothbrushes, but not for the discs.

Under intense cross-examination by defence lawyer
Clayton Ruby, Gosman rejected the idea that Nystrom had
been merely forgetful

of the NDP then coming up in Win-
nipeg, and tired after long hours on a committee studying
the government's proposed sales tax.

He also was bothered by eye trouble that n
been an allergy and might have been an infection.

He said he opened the lens cleaners to see if they were
the kind he needed, decidéd against buying them, and
thought he had put the discs back into the box before retur-
ning it to the shelf.

ight have

MP ‘HORRIFIED’

When Gosman chased him outside and suggested he
had stolen some merchandise, said Nystrom, he checked
his pocket and was “‘horrified’’ to find the discs.

lea why I put them in my pocket It's
se of being distracted, an honest mistake."’

T’S OUR BIG ONE!

Mobbed by reporters after the acquittal, Nystrom said
he was.glad to be rid of the case and the heavy, publicity it
generated

“It’s more horrible than I can even describe, because it
was so public, in terms of my friends and my family and my
party,” he said.

Nystrom thanked political colleagues who went out of
their way to help, including former NDP House Leader lan
Deffhs, Liberal MP Jim Peterson and Conservative MP
David Kilgour

All testified as character witnesses, with Kilgour set
ting the tone when he declared (hat oh Parliament Hill “the
consensus is clearly that (Nystrom) is a person of the highest
integrity who would never knowingly steal anything."’

Gosman was the sole withess for the Crown on the
charge of theft under $1,000, A conviction could have
brought ‘a maximum penalty of six months in jail and a
$2,000 fine, although the maximum is rarely imposed.

JOHN TURNER
+ not revealing date

Turner can
stay a while
Liberals say

OTTAWA (CP) — Sen months
ago, federal Liberals were handing
John Turner his hat. Now they're
saying there’s no rush to go

It was widely speculated. Tusner
would leave politics for a law practice
in Toronto long before the campaign
to replace him June 23 in Calgary
heated up .

Since last May 3 when he said he
would retire as party leader — an an.
nouncement greeted with relief by a
divided caucus and membership —
Turner has not revealed the date he
plans to leave Ottawa

But with the Liberals outpacing the
Tories among decided voters by more
than 10 per cent in the latest national
public opinion poll, Turner is under
Pressure to stay until well into the next
sitting of the Commons that begins
Jan. 22

That’s why it was a relief when Tur-
ner t Id his caucus at its last meeting
before Christmas he would be back af-
ter the holidays, at least long enough to
lead them through the Atlantic

Rebels’ st

By ED MILLS
Staff Writer
On page 5 of the Castlegar Rebel's
program you'll find two pictures /of
Taylor Harding, But until this bn
you couldn't havé found his name on
the team’s roster -
That situation changed Tuesday as
Harding, who scored 42 points in 26
games for the Rebels last year, retur-

ned to play for the team.

The six-foot, 210-pound forward
quit the Rebels at the beginning of this
season citing a conflict with the
coaching staff but has apparently had
a change of heart and will begin prac-
tising with the team Thursday.

Harding, 19, met with Rebels co-
coaches Don Soroke and Ed Cooper to
discuss his future with team prior to the
Rebels’ Tuesday night practice at the
Community Complex -

Afterwards, Harding said he was
pleased with the way the meeting went
and say he now just wants to get into

the lineup as quickly as possible and
start playing hockey.

“*They (Soroke and Cooper) told me
straight out that they didn’t expect me
to carry thé team, they just want me to
fit in and that's what I want to do,"’ he
said.

Harding said when he quit in
November he felt the coaches were ex-
pecting too much of him at a time when
he wasn’t sure he could giveit.

“1 wasn’t getting along from day
one with coaches,’ he said. ‘‘At the
beginning of the year I didn’t have the
desire and stuff. I knew it and they
knew it so they benched me. ‘‘I had lost
interest and I guess I was blaming it on
the coaches.""

After going home to Kelowna for
two months, Harding said he thought
aboyt it and decided he wanted to give
hockey another shot.

“This place has been pretty good to
me and I just thought I wouldn’t mind
getting another,chance to play. Now I

The future is now for the Edmonton -

one of the building blocks they ob-
tained

Gelinas had been the Kings’ 4irst

scoring 63 goals for his Hull, Que.,
junior team, but any contribution he
would make to the Oilers was seen as
being far down the road

Alas, the Oilers are riding high atop
the Smythe Division and Gelinas, who
is only 19, is having an impact

night, giving the Oilers a 3-2 victory
over the Calgary Flames.

“L thought it was great to score
because I’ve been playing hard,”
Gelinas said of his goal which moved
the Oilers five points ahead of the
defending Stanley Cup champions.

7? The Canadian Press

Vancouver's 20th NHL season, once hailed by team
strategists as the#year the Canucks would move
dr y upward in the standings, has turned sour

This sorry-looking Hockey club is staler than the lef-
tover Christmas eggnog

After a promising performance in the 1989 playoffs,
Vancouver has reverted to form. And, unless there’s a sud
den turnaround, the Canucks are doomed to their 18th
losing season

The Canucks are the NHL’s version of the team that
can’t shoot straight. They score infrequently — barely
three goals a game, despite a reasonable work rate. Hands
of stone around the net make them easy pickings.

They are ranked 20th in the overall standings, nine
games under .500, and appear to be on a hopeless down-
ward spiral. The Canucks stand last in the Smythe Division,
seven points behind Winnipeg, and the improving Jets have
three games in hand

Vancouver have won only twice in its last 12 starts
With three:games at home this week, against Hartford, St
Louis and Buffalo, the Canucks are at the crossroads of
their season

DEFENCE FALTERS

It’s easy to point fingers when a team struggles. For in-
stance, the Vancouver defence, third in goals-against last
season, has softened under pressure created by an incon-
sistent offence. Vancouver netminders combined for a
sparkling 3.13 average last season; now they're ranked 13th
at3.51

The arrival of the storied Soviets — Igor Larionov and
Viadimir Krutov — was supposed to cure an ailing power
play. lt hasn’t. Vancouver is ranked 17th with an efficiency
of 18.7 per cent because there’s no one to win the individual
battles for possession and feed the Soviets :

The penalty-killing actually improved last week during

a four-game road trip in‘which the Canucks won once,
moving the unit to 18th at 75.1 percent from 21st

The inconclusive Soviet expegiment has been blamed
for much of the team’s problems. But in fairness, Larionov
and Krutov are not as much at fault as team management

During the off-season, when the Soviets were signed to
expensive conttacts, management failed to address a more
Pressing issue — team size.

Trade story p. B3

The Canucks have one of the smallest lineups in the
league, with at least nine forwards under six feet. Van
couver ist can’t compete in heavy traffic

Vancouver is-a perimeter team, incapable of driving
the net. The club’s defensive system remains sound, but the
offence needs a huge transfusion of muscular forwards.

The Canucks attempted to remedy the situation Mon
day when they acquired forwards Andrew McBain, Dan
Quinn and Dave Capuano from Pittsburgh, sending Barry
Pederson, Toni Tanti and Rod Buskas tothe Penguins.

And that brings up a matter that confounds team
president and general manager Patt Quinn. Vancouver's
biggest forwards — Jim Sandlak arid Trevor Linden, who
both stand six-foot-four — have turned into pussycats

The two players, who should create a physical presen
ce, don’t scare anyone. The 220-pound Sandlak, 23, has
been an enigma since he was drafted four years ago. Now
management worries Linden may follow suit

Linden, 19, was called a franchise saver last year when
he score 30 times as a rookie. The second time around has
proven more difficult for the 205 pounder. Sandlak and
Linden each have nine goals this season.

Sandlak has gone seven games without a goal. Lin
den’s scoring drought is at 14. Until these two shape up, the
Canuck slide will continue beyond the abysmal’ 13-22-8
record they currently sport. .
