MONTREAL (CP) — A
‘among 19 of the 21 National
Hockey League teams clears
the way for Carling O'Keefe

Aubut, the driving force be-
hind the project, said Friday.

It may also have opened
the door to an out-of-court
settlement of a lawsuit that
has pitted six Canadian
teams against the Nordiques
and the 14 U.S.-based clubs.

“With this (agreement)
we've pretty much got a
green light,” Aubut, presi-
dent of the ‘O’Keefe-owned
Quebec Nordiques said in a
telephone interview. “We
expect to start right after
Christmas.”

The NHL announced

Leafs and Montrégl Cana-
diens have initialled « five-
year agreement to pool and
share broadcast revente.

The new deal effectively
replaces the long-standing
Trans Border Agreement,
signed in 1966, which gave
Molson Breweries of Canada
Ltd., a broadcast monopoly in
Canada.

The Canadian Sports Net.
work (CSN), which produces
Hockey Night in Canada for
Molson and the CBC, has ar.
gued the Trans Border deal
is still in force.

CSN teamed with six Can
adian NHL teams in a $22.
million lawsuit filed last July
against the 14 U.S.-based
franchises, the league and
three of its executives.

‘Arcy keeps position

By CasNews Staff
and News Services

Rossland-Trail MLA Chris
D'Arey has retained his posi-
tion as Opposition energy
critic in the revamped NDP
shadow cabinet announced
Friday.

D’Arcy’s title will be en
ergy management debate
leader.

Opposition Leader Bob
Skelly said he has dropped
the label of critic in favor of
debate leader because he is
looking for a more positive

approach and a policy-devel:
opment approach “rather
than simply reacting again to
what the government is
doing.”

He said the NDP will try to
identify needs that are not
recognized by the govern
ment.

In the terms of women’s
issues, “we feel that a separ.
ate entity should be estab-
lished that responds to the
needs of women in B.C.

honored at the party with a

Nonie Burk, administra
tive assistant of RRC No. 8,
acted as hostess. She had also
baked all of the goodies
which fed 100 people.

A welcome and Christmas
greetings were given in
English by Mrs. Burk and in
Russian by William Verigin.
This was followed by the
audience joining in to sing
Christmas carois.

said noting that Rosemary
Brown will be responsible for
this area.

He said he is assigning
income programs to finance
critic Dave Stupich rather
than to human resources
where it currently is, and
“what's implied there is that
we have to develop a system
of adequate incomes for citi.

them.

Playground
includes
more

The new Rodney Stewart
Adventure Playground at
Hobbit Hill daycare centre
includes more than a tire
swing and slide, says Katrina
Conroy

Conroy points out that the
new playground also includes
a fort and a front porch.

The playground was built
this summer through a Can.
ada works grant and memor.
ial donations.

Frank Mitchell, lands and
parks; and Frank Howard,

Karen Sanford is respon.
sible for agriculture and food;
Don Lockstead, mines and
petroleum resources; Gordon
Hanson, provincial secretary
and fisheries; Al Passarell,
transportation and high
ways; Robin Blencoe, muni.
cipal affairs; and Alex Mac
donald, _intergovernmental
relations.

Meanwhile, Skelly said the
only reason the British Col-
umbia legislature meets “is
to accommodate the Cana-
dian charter of rights and
freedoms which requires us
to sit at least once in every 12
months.”

“So I don't think it's any
recognition of any parliamen-
tary democracy as much as it
is a legal obligation of the
government to sit so that
they can pass orders-in-
council] for the rest of the
year.”

He noted that the legis-
lature has sat only 58 days
this year and only for one day
since his election last May as
party leader.
