March 8, 1989 Aa News ee! Door open for NDP successor By DAN LEGER and GORD MCINTOSH TORONTO (CP) — Ed'Broadbent’s decision to end 14 years as leader of the New Democratic Party opens the door, but there is no obvious favorite to step into the job Several potential successors will now move to set up their campaign teams to be ready for the leadership conven tion later this year in Winnipeg Although there aren't any declared candidates, the list could include: Lorne Nystrom, MP for the Saskatchewan riding of Yorkton-Melville, has_ made himself the most obvious among early candidates. The bilingual Nystrom was elected in 1968 when he was 22 and is a parliamentary veteran at 42 Handed the finance critic’s post after the Nov) 21 elec tion, he has been available almost daily to the press, com- menting on national issues. The soft-spoken MP came third in the 1975 NDP leadership race won by Broadbent Dave Barrett, 59, has already led a party and a gover nment: he was the NDP premier of British Columbia before being bounced by Bill Bennett's Social Credit party in. 1975. Although elected to the Commons only in November, the Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca MP was handed the high Steven Langdon, 42, MP for the Ontario riding of Essex-Windsor, is probably"best known fot his quavering voice and thoughtful arguments against Canada-U.S, free trade. First elected in 1984, Langdon, like Broadbent, for- merly taught economics. But the former trade critic had a falling-out with the leader over election strategy;.which did not, in Langdon’ view, hit the trade issue hard enough Svend Robinson, 36, is MP for the Vancouver-area riding of Burnaby and one of the most controversial figures in the House of Commons, A declared homosexual, Robinson is also a veteran MP and perpetual thorn in the government’s side Robinson is respected for his toughness and quick mind, but many party insiders are said Jo be nervous about a leader whose sexual preference might become an election issue. Robinson says he has not decided whether he will run, but party insiders say his campaign is already in gear PARTY PRESIDENT Johanna den Hertog, 36, a Vancouver-area social ac tivist and national president of the party. She is. a co founder of one of Canada’s first rape crisis centres, speaks four languages and has ties to organized labor through her former post as communications director for the Telecom- munications Workers Union. She tried and failed to win a Commons seat in both 1984 and 1988, and most recently lost «nomination race for a British Columbia byelection. Nelson Riis, 47, is yet another possible candidate from B.C The mild MP for Kamloops-Sh has held positions as finance critic and NDP House leader. He has said he doesn’t want the job but is believed to be quietly pondering it. Jim Fulton, 39, the party’s affable environment critic, has been seen as possible leadership material. He’s yet another B.C. MP, representing the Skeena riding, and is said to already have the ofan Stephen Lewis, 51, articulate former United Nations ambassador and former Ontario New Democratic leader, says he’s not interested in the job. But the son of Broadben- t's predecessor seems to pop up- regularly in the nation’s newspapers. He has lots of opinions and a knack for grab- bing headlines. Among the long-shots: Auto Workers union, is thought of as leader material. But he is also thought to be too closely tied to big labor and is not bilingual. He may also feel he’d rather run for the adian Labor Congress leadership next year. Jack Harris, 40, former MP for St. John’s East in Newfoundland, who was defeated in the election. Harris has little hope of winning, but he has told friends he would like to take arunat the leadership to raise the party’s profile in Atlantic Canada. Marion Dewar, the bilingual former mayor of Ottawa, had a similar fate as Harris, Dewar, 60, was elected ina riding near Hamilton in a byelection in July 1987 and defeated in November Louise Simard, 41 bilingual Saskatchewan MLA, was often at Broadbent's side during the NDP's western campaign and is regarded as a comer. She recently organized a major party fund-raiser with Lewis as guest of honor. Insiders say Roy Romanow, Saskatchewan NDP leader who isn’t expected to run, is working on her to run because she would have wide appeal to francophone, female and western voters despite her non-existent national profile profile trade critic position in the shadow cabinet X <. . < Celebration Lunch Bob White, 53, the hard-nosed chief of the Canadian x The children at the USCC Playschool took their mothers to lunch on International Women's Day to thank them for their work throughout the year.

The provincial-Crown corporation must avoid selling power to the United States on a spot or temporary basis, said Gordon Wilson, leader of the B.C. Liberal party Instead, it should sell export power on tong-term contracts, he said in a brief presented to federal regulators, ‘In practical terms power tends to be sold on the spot market,”’ he said The applicant has not in the past been a fully active and aggressive par ticipant in extraprovincial markets, a fact we hope can be changed. Sales on the spot market inevitably means power and energy are sold with only a portion of the full value being covered."* Hydro exports power on a spot basis when there is a surplus of water for power generation. Hydro lawyer Ken MacKenzie told the hearing that if the spot power is not exported, the water simply spills over the dams Wilson said his brief was referring to future generating projects in terms of long-term contracts, not selling export power on a spot basis from existing facilities Such long-term return to B.C capital and operating costs, should ratepayers not just he said contracts Dual-entry elayed VANCOUVER (CP) — School boards_in_ British Columbia. will_be allowed to delay a new system of kin- dergarten entry planned for January Primary teachers say the dual-entry system will effectively force the whole school system into ungraded. classes next year, before teachers are ready March 8, 19869 a3 outgoing manager Da manage _a Safeway ‘Someptace Special Castlegar News TREET TALK SAFEWAY IN CASTLEGAR has a new manager Ken Whiddington takes over officially on Sunday from Dale Bobby who goes to West Vancouver to specialty gourmet food store, ‘NEW SAFEWAY manager Ken Whiddington, left accepts the key to the store from Bobby. 1990, Education Minister Tony The B.C.
