u_ Castlégat News ‘0! 190 QUEBEC BATTLE PREDICTED By The Canadian Press Round One, not Game One, opens Monday night at the Forum. With three days to prepare for the opening game of the best-of-seven Adams Division final, both the Quebec and the Canadiens will no doubt be working out on the heavy bag, honing their skill on combination punches instead of concentrating on \passing and skating drills. Make no mistake about it, the Adams Divsiion final between the ‘Canadiens and the Nordiques in La Belle Province will be a war. “All our soldiers are healthy,” came the ominous report from Montreal coach Jean Perron on Friday. The Nordiques, meanwhile, used as much muscle as skill to upset the first-place Hartford Whalers in their quarter-final series. The Montreal players know they'll have to contend with fiery Quebec coach Michel Bergeron as much as his players on the ice. “Bergeron likes to get involved in games, but you can't let that bother you,” said Montreal tough guy Chris Nilan. In the Patrick Division, the Philadelphia Flyers are waiting in the wings to meet the winner of tonight's seventh game between the Washington Capitals and the New York Islanders. The Islanders have won the last two games to square the series 3-3. “After they swept ts to make it 3-1, we were expected to go to Washington and just fold,” said New York goalie Kelly Hrudey. “Well, that hasn't been the character of this team all season.” SWEPT PLAYOFF Although they suffered a three-game playoff sweep at the hands of the Caps last season, the Islanders two years ago overcame a 2-0 deficit to capture a best-of-five series and eliminate the Caps for a third straight time. “That was two years ago,” said Washington's Scott Stevens. In the other series, Toronto is getting ready to invade Detroit on Tuesday in the opening game of the Norris final, the same day Winnipeg opens in Edmonton in the Smythe final. The Maple Leafs, who qualified for the playoffs on the final weekend of the season, were 5-2-1 against Detroit this year. By Tuesday, the Wings will have been off for nine days since sweeping Chicago. “{hat’s their problem,” said Toronto coach John Brophy. “I don’t think we'll have any trouble with that. Our team is in excellent shape ... and we can stand up to anyone we have to. ‘The Oilers won five of eight meetings with the Jets this season. “It would have been nice to play Calgary and be able to beat them to clear all the ctitics and say we can beat them,” veteran defenceman Charlie Huddy said, remembering how the Flames stopped the Oilers’ bid for a third straight Cup in last year’s Smythe final. “But that’s not the way it worked out. So we're just going to have to work hard against Winnipeg.” TORONTO (CP) — Koufax versus Gibson. Gariton versus Ryan.

Stadium safe despite welding - MONTREAL (CP) — Lav- alin Inc. reduced quality con- trol standards for welding in an attempt to cap Montreal's controversial Olympic Sta- dium on schedule but the facility's operators insist the 168-metre roof sup} ing the base of the’ steel struc- ture as it was more likely to buckle than the higher areas.

It is expected to become one of Quebec's top tourist attrac- tions this summer. The Gazette obtained docu- ments of the Olympic In- stallations Board, the sta- dium’s operator, which were written in 1986-87 and show that: — Thirty-two of 96 welders working for a subsidiary of the welding subcontractor MIL Montage, Inc. were laboring without accredita- tion on the site for as long as two months without having passed Canadian Welding Bureau tests needed to re- new certification cards. Some of the cards had been invalid for two years. (Socodec executive direc- tor Pierre Dufour replied the lack of certification merely an problem.) — Les Laboratories Ville- Marie, hired by the install- ations board to check welding procedures, reported last fall that Socodec had reduced the criteria of acceptablility for welds; the proportion of welds inspected; the number of areas in the tower struc- ture considered to be under stress; and the percentage of rejected welds that were reinspected after repairs.

Services Department, which oversees the installations board, was never advised that unaccredited welders were working on the tower or that quality-control stan- dards had been reduced, de- puty minister Jean-Marc Bard said. Only accredited welders should have been used and the department would have insisted that all standards were respected, Bard said. The tower, originally pri- ced at $40 million and sched- uled to be finished in 1976, has taken 11 years to com- plete with the roof only being erected last week. The cost of construction so far is $120 million in public funds. Total cost for the 59,000- seat stadium is projected at was’ $820 million. REALIZE FAULT Work on the tower re- sumed in 1976 after the Olympic Games but was stopped in 1980 after engin- eers realized the base would not withstand the weight of the tower. After a provincial govern- ment committee was conven- ed in 1981 to consider alter- natives to the retractable roof, construction halted again until 1985 when Lav- alin proposed to finish the tower in steel instead of concrete. This method meant the tower base would not have/to be reinforced. pitching matchups over the Each professes admiration for the other and there’s no HOCKEY BRAWL) Suspensions will remain VIENNA (CP) — There is no possibility suspensions of Canadian and Soviet national teams after their bench-clearing brawl at the world junior championships last January will be lifted or reduced, an official has said. Despite the fact Canadian and Soviet- hockey officials have said they will ask for a review during the ITHF Con- victory of five goals or more. A silver medal was assured. The ITHF executive coun- cil’s disciplinary committee studied the incident and an- nounced all players —except the two goalies — on both teams were to be suspended through July 1988, making them ineligible for the Cal- gary Olympic tournamnet.

Only two goaltenders — one from’each team — avoided being penalized. A Soviet player was ack- niowledged as the first player to leave either;-bench) Of: ficials refused to restart the game. Canada was leading 4-2 and was in line for the gold medal with a margin of year Sabetzki said the only way the matter can be discussed during the Congress is if it is brought up during the last item on the agenda, new business, That would be a mistake, he said.

Schmidt, who hinted he wanted his historic homer to win a game, sent a 3-0 pitch from Don Robinson over the leaft-field wall. Phillies coach Mike Ryan retrieved the ball and pre- sented it to Schmidt as his teammates mobbed him at home plate. *\.

She is one of the growing number of people across the world who are b gl d with and inulnutrition of children and the proliferation of disruptive and twisted propaganda across the world. Her nanie is Gloria Fairclough a small attractive. intensely vibrant woman, whose home is in Port Stevens, New South Wales, Australia, where she teaches primary school. ; During the Australian summer, holiday season, mid-winter here, Gloria paid a visit to Cuba, Nicaragua and to Castlegar, where she stayed as a guest of Serge and Vi Plotnikoff. Always deeply involved with the peace movement in her homeland she had come north with a diverse group of about 60 teachers, doctors, clergymen from various denominations and others, with greatly varied points of view. ‘Their host for the trip was the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples of the World (ICAP) and their purpose was to observe various aspects of Cuban life, particularly industry, agriculture and education, at first hand, During thier 3% week ‘visit the group had the opportunity to travel widely and observe closely and to gather a great deal of information. Unfortunately, when we finally got together for an interview she was engaged in Castlegar's favorite indoor sport — ‘Will the plane land?’ roulette, and we had only about 15 minutes to talk. Moreover my notes are now stale and since the Charters’ shorthand is, according to the best authorities, somewhat akin to early Sanskrit, there is a slight problem. Nonetheless, I gathered that the entire group had been “uplifted by the obvious education for peace in Cuban schools, and which forms an important and continuing part of their curriculum.” They were also impressed, she said, with the idealism of the Cuban people that they met during their travels. By implication, * GLORIA FAIRCLOUGH . .. disgusted with poverty overwhelmingly supportive of the government, particu- larly in its health programs. This latter is of particular importance because the Contras pursue a policy of destruction of schools, villages and health centres where and whenever possible. “I was totally horrified by the sight of so many injured and mainourished children,” Gloria said. “The people are so stoic in the face of all this senseless destruction of lives and their agrarian economy that I can only admire their courage.” Paridoxically, she has a much brighter faith in things to come. The ability of a people to survive under these worth of conditions, she said, in an indication of true strength and faith. The growing wider challenge to the force of misinformation and increasing world-wide public awareness are all signs of a better future, she believes. On a similar note, I saw a movie recently at the Castle Theatre. It was called The Mission, a kind of elaborate pun, and is the story of a three-way struggle in the 1750's between the secular and religious forces of Spain and Portugal and the native peoples of Chile. It is, a story of the conflict between greed and idealism, of high example and the corruption of power, the 30 pieces of silver and the unconquerable human spirit, which has been re-enacted over and over again throughout the ages, and continues to this day. It was a good picture despite its many awards and only escaped greatness because the director became so enamoured of by the efforts of the mightiest nation in the world to hinder the legitimate aspirations of the people of this part of the world. This hinderence was particularly obvious in Nicaragua, a tiny nation of 1.5 million people, already beset by crushing economic problems from within and the continuous pressure from the U.S. backed Contras from without, it is having serious problems. As a partial therefore, I gathered that she was equally unimp of this she said, the people are the lu p and visual effects that he failed to take full advantage of the eternal drama. Ultimately, the picture and Gloria made the same point, essential 1 think for this Easter season even if it is blurred at times by ‘the endless euphemisms, platitudes and bunny rabbits — there is still idealism in a sea of cynicism, hope and courage triumph in the very teeth of despair, that the human spirit refuses to die, or as the film states it, ‘The dead give strength to the living through example.’ Renting Quality Cars at Great Prices SOROS euewecs estos seientcncemer oro Availability an issue Fonyo fights weather VANCOUVER (CP) — Beer and wine in grocery stores — that’s what a provincial government liquor policy review means to most people in British Columbia.

The currency risen from 72.46 cents US at the end of 1986 to a trading high of 76.92 cents US last Friday. But this week, the dollar fell victim to the turmoil gripping foreign exchange market sparked by poor trade results in the United States, fears U.S. inflation could make a comeback and wide-spread concern about trade friction between Wash: ington and Tokyo. On Tuesday, the dollar lost 1.26 cents US, its worst single-day decline in more than a decade, prompting the Bank of Canada to boost the rate Wednesday to 7.9 per cent from 7.2 per cent. While that helped the dol- lar recover some lost ground Wednesday, the currency closed Thursday nearly one cent below last Friday's final quote. However, money-market watchers expect next week to be more stable. “This little panic seems to have settled back,” said Doug Peters, chief economist at Toronto Dominion Bank. ‘Added one money trader: “The market has had a heal- thy correction.” The U.S. dollar strength- ened against all major cur- rencies in quiet pre-Easter trading in Europe on Thurs- day. ation for licenced premises and the role municipal ' gov- ernments might have in liquor policy.

Fonyo snapped his artifi- cial leg for the second time last week when he slipped in his hotel. Repairs meant he had to take a day off running. “It's kind of getting worn away and getting to a point where they can't really repair it any more,” he said. While he has a spare leg for emergencies, it doesn’t fit properly, he said. “It's going to hold out to London.
