Weeks no second fiddle

By GRANT KERR
Canadian Press

VANCOUVER — Steve Weeks doesn’t think the
label fits. Backup goaltender is a tag he'd like
dropped and replaced by something like dependable.

The reliable Weeks has played behind some
respected netminders during eight seasons in the
National Hockey League, including John Davidson,
Glen Hanlon, John Vanbiesbrouck, Greg Millen and
Mike Liut

The 30-year-old netminder doesn't think of
himself as being second-fiddle to anyone, however,
and Weeks has come out of the profiled shadow to
establish himself with the Vancouver Canucks.

“I guess backup is the tag I've been assigned,”
he said Tuesday. “The way I approach the game, I
don’t care about labels.

“My job with the Canucks is to be ready to play
when I'm called upon.”

Weeks has been more than ready this season.
He's already appeared in seven games Kirk
McLean has started 10 of the 16 Vancouver games
and has a 2.39 goals-against average

Vancouver had the third-best team average
(2.77) going into tonight's game at the Pacific
Coliseum against the Hartford Whalers, a team
Weeks helped beat 3-2 in overtime last Saturday in
Hartford.

MEETS WHALERS

Weeks is expected to get the starting
assignment again against his former teammates.
Hartford traded Weeks to the Canucks last March
for veteran netminder Richard Brodeur.

“I wasn't surprised by the trade, just the timing
of it more than anything,” Weeks said. “I knew Mike

Liut would play the
Hartford.”

Weeks, a Toronto product who attended
Northern Michigan, played 49 NHL games seven
years ago for the New York Rangers when he was a
rookie. Davidson and Steve Baker both were injured
and Weeks responded to the work load with a 3.77
average.

He was dealt to Hartford four years ago for a
third-round draft pick and played 94 league games
over a four-year period for the Whalers.

Weeks was supposed to be an insurance policy
for McLean, but got hot and appeared in nine of the
Canucks final 10 games last season, with a
respectable 3.38 average

“You can feel things getting better and better
here,” he said about the team's surprising flirtation
with .500 hockey after a 7-7-2 start. “I haven't been
here that long, but I can sense the confidence
coming.

“The team is learning what it takes to win. I see
a lot of that happening, just like it did in Hartford.”

BETTER EFFORT

The Canucks are more disciplined in their own
zone, Weeks said, because they're putting effort into
the defensive aspects of the game.

majority of the games in

Weeks said his goals-against record is merely a
reflection on the total team attitude. He's also not
surprised by the early-season success

“Our record could easily be much better,” he
said. “The guys realize we've lost a lot of close
games.”

Five of the Vancouver defeats have been by one
goal and the others by a two-goal margin on

empty-net markers.

pair of games in Spokane on the
weekend by identical scores of 8-5

Castlegar scored early in Satur
day's contest and appeared headed
for an easy win with a 3-0 lead after
eight minutes of play

But two short-handed goals put
Spokane back in the game and the
first period ended with Castlegar
ahead 3-2.

Spokane tied the match at 2:32 of
the second period when Castlegar
goalie Randy Ondrik fanned on a
clearing pass.

The hosts appeared to have gained
the momentum but Castlegar took a
43 advantage three minutes later
and by the end of the second period
led 6-4.

In the third period both teams
came out flying and Spokane nar

But they got no closer as Castlegar
scored twice more and with a strong
defensive performance led by Jere

midway through period one

Spokane tied the game on a power
play at 12:06 and with Castlegar

Castlegar scored the only goal in

pulled within one at 2:03 of the third.

Lalonde not quitting

By JIM MORRIS

LAS VEGAS, NEV. (CP) — So what now, Donny?

Hours after enduring a savage beating from Sugar
Ray Leonard — including a punch to the throat that
made talking difficult — former light heavyweigt
champion Donny Lalonde said he’s going to take a break
from boxing, but won't quit.

“I've got some business to take care of for the next
couple weeks, then I'm doing a movie,” croacked
Lalonde, 28, who relinquished his World Boxing Council
title and lost the chance to win the new super
middleweight crown.

Leonard, 32, used speed and a surprising burst of
power to knock Lalonde down twice in the ninth round
before more than 13,000 screaming fans in the outdoor
arena at Caesars Palace.

Leonard now has won world titles in five weight
divisions.

Lalonde, left unconcious with blood pouring from
his mouth, said the whole ninth round is a void to him.
VAGUE MEMORY

“I remember leaving the corner for the ninth
round. I remember him landing that last right hand. I
wanted to get up and Dave (manager Dave Wolf) was
there. He said, ‘It’s over.’ ”

Lalonde — who will earn a minimum $5.2 million
US from the estimated $20-million purse — was happy
with the way the fight went despite the loss. He became
only the second man to knock Leonard down after
connecting with a right hand in the fourth round.

“['m proud of the way I fought,” he said, bruises
showing above both blue eyes.

But there was still bitter disappointment. “I felt 1
let myself down. He dug deeper than me in the ninth
round. I gave 100 per cent. What can I say?”

The Golden Boy's next project is Abraxas, a movie
being filmed in Toronto about an interplanetary agent
who comes to earth.

As for boxing, Lalonde expects to challenge again
for the 175-pound light heavyweight title, but not in the
168-pound supermiddleweight class.

WILLY SPURNED
Willy Featherstone of Toronto is fighting Virgil Hill

for the World Boxing Association light heavyweight
title Friday. Featherstone has long wanted a fight with
Lalonde, but the Winnipeg resident isn’t interested in
an all-Canadian battle.

“It would be of no interest to me,” Lalonde said.
“Willie Featherstone doesn't inspire me. I'd rather fight
(Thomas) Hearns or (Marvin) Hagler.”

Lalonde, who was beaten by his stepfather in his
childhood, had used his fight against Leonard as a
platform to speak out against child abuse. A foundation
has been established in his name in Winnipég to raise
money to help abused children.

“I would have helped a lot more if I had won,” said
Lalonde, who apologized “to the kids” for losing.

Leonard also was unaware of his plans, although
there has been talk about a bout with Hearns.

“Let me evaluate myself first,” said Leonard, who
was cut in the face and refused to remove his
sunglasses.

“I'm my worst critic.
guys, I won't retire.”

The wrangling that surrounded the fight continued
even though the two opponents had shaken hands and
congratulated each other.

Mike Trainer, Leonard's lawyer and the bout’'s
promoter, said a portion of Lalonde’s share of the purse
might be held up.

He said Adolph Coors, which paid an estimated $1
million US to help promote the fight, was unhappy
Lalonde had refused to promote the beer company
because of his stand against child abuse.

But Norman Kaplan, Lalonde’s Los Angeles-based
lawyer, denied any problems, saying the Coors people
“were very happy.”

On Monday, a Nevada court refused to hear a claim
from disgruntled promoter Jay Coleman, trying to seize
a share of Lalonde’s purse.

Coleman claims Lalonde reneged on a 1983 contract
that gave the Winnipeg publisher the right to promote
10 fights.

“There's nothing legally binding between us,”
Lalonde said of Coleman. “That's the third time it’s been
thrown out.”

>> ELECTION '88

Free-trade echoes
deal of the past

By JOHN WARD
Canadian Press

OTTAWA — “No truck nor trade with Yankees!”
Sound familiar?

That's a campaign slogan for an election over a
controversial trade deal with the United States. An
election called after the agreement was stalled in
Parliament by the opposition. An election in which the
main opposition party was disorganized; riven by
disagreements about leadership.

The 1988 election? No. The 1911 election.

That year, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the dominant
Canadian politician of his age, called a general election
over the issue of reciprocity with the United States, a
primitive version of free trade.

The spellbinding prime minister who had governed
with his Liberal party for 15 years was tossed out of

“Laurier's reciprocity
was a pale shadow of
today's free-trade
agreement"

office. His replacement was Robert Borden, the
Conservative leader who, until his victory, was in
danger of being ousted by factions within his quarrel
some party.

Borden led the Conservatives to a stunning victory
over Laurier and the reciprocity forces, winning 134 of
221 seats. Laurier won 87.

The parallels between Laurier's 1911 campaign and
Prime Minister Brian Mulroney's campaign for the Nov.
21 election are eerie.

The 1911 campaign was a bitter one. There were
claims that reciprocity would sever Canada’s traditional
ties with the British Empire and lead to annexation by
the United States. The opposing forces wrapped them-
selves in the Union Jack and portrayed themselves as
defending Canada from rapacious Americaris

There were echoes of that this time around in the
campaign's televised English-language leaders debate
Liberal Leader John Turner accused Mulroney of
selling out the country and predicted free trade would
make Canada a colony of the United States.

Polls taken after the debate indicate a sharp
turnaround in public support, with Mulroney's
Conservative slipping and Turner and the Liberals
improving sharply.

Laurier’s reciprocity was 4 pale shadow of today's
free-trade agreement.

The 1911 deal would have removed tariffs on farm
produce, dairy products, fish, salt and rough lumber. It
would have reduced duties on some food, farm
implements, building materials and a narrow list of

factured goods — including p fixtures,
engines and clocks.

Mulroney's cherished agreement is far more
sweeping and would phase out virtually all tariff and
non-tariff barriers between the two countries over 10
years.

One major difference between the 1911 situation
and the 1988 campaign is the position of Canadian
business.

In Laurier’s day, business was adamantly opposed
to reciprocity. The Toronto and Montreal boards of
trade and the Canadian Manufacturers’ Association
rallied against the deal. Sir’ William Van Horne, the
legendary builder of the Canadian Pacific Railway,
emerged from retirement to fight reciprocity.

Today, major business groups support free trade.

Opposition to the deal even cracked Laurier's
party. Clifford Siftoff, Laurier’s longtime western
lieutenant, broke with the prime minister to condemn
the deal.

There are no breaks in the ranks of Mulroney's
Tories on free trade. x

Borden clutched the reciprocity issue as a
life-saver. Hé had led the Conservatives to two electoral
defeats and there were rumblings and coup attempts
against him.

His opposition to reciprocity won him support from
the business community, which had bankrolled Laurier
for years.

Reciprocity broke Laurier and the Liberals. At the
age of 70, the “silver-tongued orator,” the white-haired
knight of the order of St. Michael and St. George, was
turned out to the opposition benches. He was still there
at his death in 1919.

And it would be 75 years before another prime
minister would take up the cause of free trade.

Promises too costly

TORONTO (CP) — The Liberal
party's election promises would cost
$21.8 billion over four years and
could increase Canada’s enormous
public debt by $26.5 billion, the C.D.
Howe Institute said today.

In an analysis of spending prom
ises by the three major political par-
ties, the Toronto-based institute said
Canada could be forced to turn to the
International Monetary Fund to re
scue it from financial crisis if the debt
isn't reduced soon

By the end of the current fiscal
year, the Canadian government will
owe domestic and foreign creditors
about $321 billion, said the report

released today

Based on the report written by in.
stitute president Maureen Farrow
and William Robson, the Liberal
party has promised to spend more
than the other two parties combined
during the Nov. 21 federal election
campaign.

The cost of borrowing money to
pay for Liberal campaign promises
would amount to another $47 billion,
adding $26.5 billion to the debt by the
end of the 1992-93 fiscal year, the
report said.

The NDP has promised to spend
$16.7 billion over four years and levy
tax increases of $13.5 billion. That
could increase the debt by $3.8
billion, including interest costs of
$700 million.

The report said the Conservatives
have promised to spend $3.2 billion
over four years, which could also
increase the national debt by $3.8
billion, including $600 million in
interest.

However, before the election cam
paign started, the Tories promised
an estimated $12 billion in new
spending, including money to dev

OSLO heavy-oil project in Alberta.

“The debt is already too high,” the

government spent on job creation,

Networks

OTTAWA (CP) — A Federal Court
judge reserved decision Tuesday on
whether the English-language tele
vision networks should be forced to
carry Liberal election ads that
include material from the Oct. 24
leaders’ debate.

Justice Leonard Martin gave no
indication of when he will deliver the
ruling, despite a plea from lawyer
William Green, representing the
Liberal party, who noted there are
only 11 days left for election ad-

ime is running out,” said Green.
“A late decision would result in in.
calculable harm to my clients.” He
said if the ads are not on the air by
Friday, a favorable decision would be
meaningless

CBC-TV and CTV have refused to
run the ads, saying they hold copy

because they produced ft,

Gordon Henderson, representing
the CBC, made little reference to the

“It is not the function of the gov-
ernment or the courts to dictate to
the media what they report,” said
Henderson.

That prompted a sharp exchange
with Martin, who noted the Liberals
were not asking the networks to
produce a news report but to run a
commercial.
