as Castlégar News November 16, 19868 MORE LETTERS Where are Ghandis? In this election we have been offered the trade deal which the Conservatives say will make us more competitive in the world market. The LAberals and New Democrats say it will be true for only the multi. nationals. I agree. But is this really the question? Do we really want to construct our society to be more competitive? Not me!.] want a society that in. stitutionalizes co-operation, social environmental awareness, and mutual aid. The Tories » been actively privatizing public services. The New Webster dic tionary defines “public” as “belong. ing to the people in general, not pri vate,” “public-spirited” as “moti vated by devotion to the general or and “private” as justice, national welfare,” “belonging to some particular person or small group of people, not open or accessible to people in general.” The Reagan-Thatcher-Mulroney plan for the future seems to in: stitutionalize a new social ethic that of self-interest.We will strive to become rich successful entrepren eurs.

I have been fol ng the mysterious $120 million ind who it belongs to in the pages of your newspaper As I understand it, Kootenay West Conservative incumbent Bob Brisco claimed that he has brought $120 nillion into Kootenay West in the ast four years. Immediately, the NDP candidate yle Kristiansen claimed that he must somehow be responsible for fathering it. Not to be outdone, Liberal candidate Garry Jenkins umped in and claimed responsibility for grandfathering it Mr. Brisco, as reported in your 1ewspaper, then produced evidence f his accomplishments: Cominco lead smelter, Castlegar Airport, ete. fe also showed at the same press conference that he had taken Mr. Kristiansen’s figures from Lyle’s own 1984 campaign literature. I have waited and waited for Mr. Jenkins and Mr. Kristiansen to res. pond. No answer. Who are we to believe? Mr. Brisco produces evidence; the others produce hot air. Are Mr. Protect Canada Whatever has happened to Cana da, Our true north strong and free? Small wonder that there is so much opposition to the free(?) trade deal when even the president of the U.S is going to tell us how to vote and thus to assure our own destruction as a free and sovereign nation. Coming events cast their shadows before them. I sincerely urge all Canadians to vote to protect our sub. stance before the shadow blots us out forever. Pat Romaine Castlegar Jenkins and Mr. Kristiansen just as believable on free trade as they are on the mysterious $120 million? There is no question in my mind as to whom I believe and who I trust Bob Brisco. S.L. Partridge Castlegar Pensions, medicare protected Subsidies. Subsidies. It seems that Canadians feel that we are the only country in the world to subsidize industries or regions that are not performing up to national standards. Do we really think that we are so unique? Why, just a while ago I heard that the Americans and the EEC were in an agricultural subsidy war. The Americans pay their farmers not to grow crops! The point is that NDP leader Ed Broadbent and Liberal leader John Turner say that the “bad old Amer. icans” will call our social and regional development programs _ subsidies, and further, that we will have to change our programs Wrong! GATT specifically ex cludes “generally available social programs” from ever being consid ered as trade distorting subsidies The free-trade agreement calls for protracted negotiations (five to sev en years) to define other subsidies, so that both countries will know what the rules of the game are. Pensions, medicare, unemploy ment insurance are all protected. The only fear Canadians need to have is of our own inferiority complex Dorothy Fleming of the state. The PCs voted as a whole on the one hand: to end rail and postal strikes by taking away the rights of the workers, rather than by negotiating fairly; to change the drug patent laws to prohibit . cheaper generic drugs; to impose the free trade agreement without referen. dum or proper discussion in the House. On the other hand, they voted: to privatize Air Canada and CN Trans. port; to cut UIC payments; and against improved postal services. Kootenay West Conservative incum. bent Bob Brisco voted along with his cronies on all these issues. He rep. resents the Conservatives well here, but what about representing us in Ottawa? Why didn’t he help us with pro ting our environment against Spike, saving our ferry in Robson, saving the post offices in Robson and Ainsworth, preventing the takeover of West Kootenay Power by American business, or making Can ada a non-nuclear power? Do you know that the only sub. sidies that are specifically exempted from countervailing duties in the trade deal is spending on arms — not social services, not UIC, not medical plans.

The Stanley Humphries secondary school swim team has been going to Beaver Valley early in the morning to prepare for oreenr« s« i es be o - provincial high this season's swim meets. The team travels to Vancouver this weekend to take part in the school swim championships. Swimmers off to coast for high school championships The Stanley Humphries secondary school swim team is off to Vancouver this weekend to compete in the provincial high school swimming championships. The three months of gruelling 6:30 a.m. practices paid off for the 30-member SHSS swim team at the Regional Championships held last weekend in Nelson. Since September the team has been leaving Castlegar at 5:45 a.m. to train in the Beaver Valley pool under the watchful eyes of coach Ray Yule and assistant Mike Balahura. While the entire team performed well special note should be made of Castlegar sweeping the top five places in the boys 50 metre breast: stroke event, and the strong showing of Ariel McDowell and Jodi Young in the 50-metre butterfly. While most of the racers swim in the summer for either Robson or Castlegar, some of the non-swim club rookies also performed well. Dan Jory and Stacy Gorkoff had good placings in a number of events. Especially encouraging for the coaches was the SHSS domination in seven of eight relay events in times that earned these teams spots in next week's Provincial Champion ships at the UBC pool in Vancouver. November 16,1988 8! ¢, D Kootenay Savings The Castlegar Atom Reps were busy over the weekend beating Kimberley and Trail 8-1 here Saturday and tying Beaver Valley 4-4 on the road Sunday. Defense was the key in a scoreless first period in game one against Trail as Castlegar’s Jeremy Ross, Kent Fauth, Gary Hunter and Darren Bellanger were solid inside their blue-line and Randy Ondrik stood tall between the pipes. Trail’s defense was no less tough but it was Castlegar that finally broke the scoring deadlock at 5:14 of the second period and took a 2-0 lead five minutes later. Persistence paid off for Trail as they pulled within one at 16:01 only to have Castlegar score twice more for a 4-1 lead at the end of two periods. End-to-end action highlighted the third period as Trail had difficulty penetrating a tenacious Castlegar defense while the hosts scored four unanswered goals on route to an 8-1 victory. Trail's lone goal-scorer was Darren McCarthy while Castlegar markers came from Shawn Horcoff, Brad Brown, Gary Hunter, Billy Phillips, Darren Bellanger, Grant Mosby and Darren Pottle. Craig Swanson and David Pucci added assists. In Saturday's second game against Kimberley, both defenses were again tested in the early going although Castlegar held an edge in play and a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes. Castlegar goalie Mike Kooznetsoff's shut-out bid was spoiled at 1:01 of the second period as Kimberley scored. With the score 2-1, the visitors became more aggressive but it was the home team that scored at 4:56 and again at 18:32 for a 4-1 lead after two periods. Atom Reps win two, tie one on weekend Play was even in the third period until Castlegar's fifth goal at 11:42 and then the host team started flying as they added three goals in four minutes and breezed to their second straight 8-1 win. Castlegar goal-scorers were Pottle, Hunter, Phillips, Swanson, Randy Ondrik and Pucci. Assists went to Bellanger, Mosby, Jeremy Ross and Horcoff. Sunday's game saw Castlegar on the road in Beaver Valley in a barn burner of a game. Castlegar opened the scoring at the 12:20 mark of the first period. It was the only goal of the first period despite a power play opportunity for Castlegar during the last two minutes. At 17:28 into the second period Castlegar scored on a power play when the puck was neatly passed from the point to centre ice and in. Beaver Valley then picked up the pace and tightly checked their opponents resulting in a goal for them at 8:31 Two Castlegar players served penalties in the last two minutes of the second period allowing Beaver Valley to tie the game. Castlegar goalie, Mike Kooznetsoff, mace the initial save but got beaten on a rebound shot. It was not until 8:03 of the third period that Castlegar was able to jump ahead 3-2. Once more Beaver Valley put the pressure on and tied the game at 5:49. With 4:10 left to play, Castlegar pulled ahead and tried their hardest to hold their lead, but had to settle for the final 4-4 tie when Beaver Valley scored on a rebound with 17 seconds left to play. Goal scorers for Castlegar were Pottle, Teddy Hunter and Swanson. Assists went to Pucci, Swanson, Brad Brown and Hunter. The Castlegar Atom Reps are on the road this weekend for games in Kimberley and Cranbrook.

Wamsley, who had never beaten the Islanders before, made seven saves in the first six minutes and then faced only 15 shots the rest of the way as the Cal. gary Flames gained a 5-1 National Hockey League vic tory “Wamsley did the job in the first six minutes and that is what we needed,” Calgary coach Terry Crisp said. “We weren't getting that early in the season.” The Flames, who had a sluggish start this season, now have won seven of their last eight games and lead the league with a 12-4-3 record. Although Wamsley, an eight-year veteran, is third in winning percentage among active NHL goaltenders, he carried an 0-4-2 lifetime mark versus New York into the game. But he had a relatively easy time, especially in the third period, when he didn't face a shot until 12:33 had elapsed. “We just shut them down,” said Wamsley, who was traded by the St. Louis Blues to Calgary last seagon and was making his first appearance against the Islanders as a Flame. “They took it to us for five minutes and we withstood the storm.” KINGS WIN In other NHL games Tuesday night, it was: Los Angeles Kings 6, Vancouver Canucks 4; Boston Bruins 5, Quebec Nordiques 5; New York Rangers 3, Philadelphia Flyers 3; Washington Capitals 4, Minne- sota North Stars 2; and New Jersey Devils 4, St. Louis Blues 2. Gary Roberts scored once and set up a goal in the first period, when the Flames took a 2-1 lead. Roberts slapped a pass from Tim Hunter past goalie Kelly Hrudey, then passed to Hunter on a 2-on-1 break for Calgary's second goal. Brent Sutter had put in a rebound on a power play with 23 seconds to go in the first period for the Islanders. In the second period, Doug Gilmour connected on a Kelowna dominates Kootenay Cup volleyball eat Isles 2-on-1, pulling Hrudey out of the net, and Joey Mullen scored on a 30-footer as Hrudey again was faked out. Joe Niuewendyk made it 5-1, knocking a rebound past Billy Smith, who replaced Hrudey in goal to start the third period. Hrudy had faced 29 shots while Smith turned aside 13 of 14 in the third. RANGERS 3 FLYERS 3 James Patrick ended a three-goal New York rally with a wrist shot with 8:39 left in the third period as the Rangers r it against Philadelphia this season at 3-0-1. During the overtime period, goalie Bob Froese was helped from the ice after he was knocked into the net during a flurry in the Rangers’ crease. John Vanbiesbrouck played the remaining 26 seconds. Brian Leeteh and Brian Lawton aiso scored for the Rangers. Derrick Smith, Mark Howe and Tim Kerr answered for the Flyers. CAPITALS 4 NORTH STARS 2 Kevin Hatcher scored an unassisted goal early in the third period, Washington's third power-play goal of the game, and Bob Gould added an empty-net score to clinch it. Geoff Courtnall and Dale Hunter also scored power-play goals for the Capitals, who now have scored at least one man-advantage goal in 11 straight games. Minnesota's goals were by Curt Fraser and Stewart Gavin. NORDIQUES 5 BRUINS 5 Walt Poddubny scored his second goal of the game and 13th of the season with 7:58 remaining in the third period, earning the tie for Quebec which now is winless in six games (0-4-2). Michel Goulet, Jeff Brown and Jeff Jackson rounded out the scoring for the Nordiques, who are 2-9-2 in their last 13 games. Randy Burridge, Craig Janney, Glen Wesley, Ray Bourque and Jay Miller replied for Boston. DEVILS 4 BLUES 2 Kirk Muller and Claude Loiselle each had a goal and an assist in a high-scoring first period as New Jersey snapped St. Louis’s four-game unbeaten streak.

(AP) — The Los Angeles Kings have 12 wins in -18 games with Wayne Gretzky Last year, without the Great One, it took the club more than twice as long to post a dozen wins. The Kings, 12-6-0, didn't register their 12th win until their 40th game last season. Their latest success came at the expense of the Vancouver Canucks, who fell 6-4 Tuesday night in a National Hockey League game fea turing two Gretzky goals. His goals extended his point scoring streak with the Kings to 18 games, tying Marcel Dionne for the third-longest scoring string in the team's history. Bobby Carpenter scored the game winner, breaking a 4-4 tie late in the game with a 40-foot slap shot past Canucks’ goalie Kirk McLean. Carptenter stole the puck with 3:01 left from Canuck defenceman harold Snepsts and fired a shot from the top of the left face-off circle that beat McLean on the stick side. He said his long-range shot was also meant as.a possible pass. “I just wanted to make sure I hit the net with the shot,” Carpenter said. “I saw Bernie (Nicholls) coming in, so I thought we could at least get a rebound.” BREAKS MASK Kings starting goalie Glenn Healy had to leave the ice at the 10:05 mark of the first period after he was hit in the mask with a slap shot by Tony Tanti. It took 12 stitches to close a cut over his eye, but Healy returned at the start of the third period with the game tied 2-2. He faced 12 shots in the third period and allowed two goals. “I was a little dizzy at first,” Healy said. “The puck broke the screen of the mask and a wire cut me across the eyebrow.” Reserve goalie Bob Janecyk faced 22 shots in the first and second periods, allowing two goals. Reps tie Nelson Castlegar Pee- Wee Reps played thier fourth league game this past Sunday and came away with a 3-3 tie against Nelson. Nelson opened the scoring 34 seconds into the game but then both teams settled down to very balanced play with neither one able to get the puck in the other's goal. In the second period, Castlegar really applied the pressure with the Nelson goalie robbing them several times of a possible goal. Then, at 14:27, Mike Hunter scored for Castlegar with assists from Mark Carlson and Vince Antignani. For the rest of the second period, play moved from end to end with Castlegar's goalie, Marcel Dusseault and the Nelson goalie making numerous ex cellent saves to keep the score tied at 1-1. Then with only 58 seconds left in the second period Hypter, with a pass from Vince Antignani and Derek Read, blasted one past the Nelson goalie to give Castlegar a 2-1 lead. In the third period, Castlegar came out flying and Castlegar's for- wards including Fred Geinger, Stev- en Brown, Pat Biln and Shawn Mosby made several excellent plays on the Nelson net, but were unable to put it in. At 7:58 Nelson tied it up at 2-2 and then shortly after scored again to pull ahead 3-2. Then, at 3:42 Antignani took a pass from Hunter and scored. For the remainder of the game, good defensive play by Castle- gar’s Rick Fauth, Carlson, Mark Per- rier and Ken Skibinski guaranteed the tie. Gretzky scored both his goals early in the third, putting the Kings up 4-2. But Vancouver answered with goals by Tanti and Dan Hodgson to tie the score. After Carpenter's goal, Nicholls added some insurance with an empty net marker, his 19th goal of the year, with 35 seconds left in the game. Other Kings goal-scorers were Ron Duguay, in the first, and John Ton elli, who scored early in the second. Greg Adams and Steve Bozek also scored for the Canucks, who are 0-4-1 in their last five games and dropped to 7-10-3 with the loss. Swetlishoff named new coach By CasNews Staff Ken Switlishoff was named as the new coach of the Castlegar Rebels says the team's general manager. Peter Semenoff said Swetlishoff was officially named Monday to replace Daryl Weir who was fired from his coaching dutiés last week after taking the Rebels to a five-win, 10-loss record for 10 points and fifth place in the KIJHL West Division. “I had internal problems with the team,” Semenoff told the Castlegar News. “I don't want to go into all the different things . . . I decided to do it and I did myself as manager,” he said of the decision to let Weir go. Weir's coaching partner Rod Clifford was released as well following Friday's 17-0 loss in Nelson. Swetlishoff, a former Rebel coach, will start his coaching duties behind the bench Friday in Rossland when the Rebels take on the Warriors.
