: Ny. as Castlégar News November 29, 1987 ORE LETTERS Voters won't be fooled After reading MP Bob Brisco's latest constituent newsletter I am left wondering if Mr. Brisco’s Kootenay West constituency is in the same country as mine or if he hasn't somehow joined Alice in an economic wonderland of his own imagination. Mr. Brisco asserts that his gov ernment’s free trade agreement “ends potential threats to Canadian oil.” This statement takes George Orwell's no- tion of “newspeak” to a new high of cynical abuse of language. In fact, the Continental Energy Package included in the draft free trade treaty is itself the greatest threat to the Canadians’ sovereign control over our oil (and all other energy resources) we have ever faced. I have before me a photocopy of the 38-page draft agreement initialed by the Canadian and American ne- interest in anyway other than selling them off to the Americans at the current market price. Paragraph two of the energy section of the draft agreement states: “Both sides have agreed to pr it restrictions on imports or exports, including quantitative restrictions, taxes, miniumum import or export price prequirements or any other equivalent measure, subject to very limited exceptions: (1) short supply or prevention of exhaustion of a finite energy resource, but only if the exporting party provides proportional access to the diminished supply and does not otherwise discriminate on price; or (2) national security .. .” In simple English this paragraph means that Canada has surrendered the provinces’ right to sell their own gotiators in Washington as released by the Canadian Embassy on Oct. 4. The energy provisions on page nine of this draft are covered in five brief para- graphs. The effect of these five para- graphs, if implemented, would be to totally integrate Canada’s energy resources into the United States’ profligate energy consumption pattern and leave Canada powerless to manage our resources in our own national Wake up Now that Mike Harcourt has come off the fence, we are seeing his true colors. He and his bosses — the union leaders — have come out against small business and entrepreneurship. I re- sent them implying that, we are in- competent and poor employers. Small business employs the majority of people in Canada, not to mention that we are the ones who have created the most new jobs in the country. And I might add, we do a right fine job of running our businesses and keeping our country going. Most of us are cons- cientious and proud of the jobs we do. We are not greedy, incompetent nin- compoops who would jeopardize lives for the sake of a buck. Ken Georgetti should be taken to task for the statements he made to reporters. Georgetti predicted more people will die as a result of motor brochure small businesses received Pp | energy to their own residents and their own industries at a lower price than they sell them to U.S. customers. In other words, Canada can no longer offer Canadian industries preferential access to Can- adian energy. By this astonishing pro- vision Mr. Brisco’s Tory government has given away Canada’s single most important economic asset, our com- petitive advantage in energy supplies. Canadians must be wondering what is people ! from union headquarters with big bold print stating: “Bill 19 could put you right out of business”, and asking us to oppose it. It is rotten to try to frighten people. Methinks all the hysterica: propaganda being put out by the unions — and being paid for by the workers — is not so much out of concern for the people of B.C. but more out of concern that union leaders may lose some power and — even scarier — union dues. It is time for people to wake up and see the truth. Doesn't it tell you something when the recent meeting held in Castlegar against privatization was chaired by Fred Wilson who just happens to be chairman of the Communist Party of Canada’s labor committee? Corky Evans, Nelson-Cres- ton NDP candidate in the last election, was on the panel as was Ben Swanky, director of the Vancouver-based Centre for Socialist Education.

Later in his Mr, Brisco have properly seen the re- lationship between the min- ing of uranium and the threat boasts that his government's free trade agreement “creates a great potential for hydroelectricty development.” I'll grant Mr. Briseo that if I were an American hydro utility manager I'd sure be keen to jump on the gravy train of bargain basement hydro production opportunities offered by the Tory's free trade deal. If the agreement is implemented I've no doubt we will see a boom period of hydroelectric con- struction as the Americans rush to tie up Canada’s remaining low cost hydro '**", potential for their own use (and thus preclude its later development by future generations of Canadians for their needs). Yet, we may well see an energy related construction boom in the Alice-in-Wonderland version of Canada envisaged by Mr. Brisco and Mr. Mulroney. But residents of Koot- enay West won't be taken in by such short sighted opportunism. We won't be fooled because we have already experienced first hand what this kind of economic slight of hand really means. We have witnessed the con- struction of the infamous Columbia River Treaty, Canada’s first large-scale international energy arrangement with the Americans. Last year, Mr. Brisco and his government gave West Kootenay resi- dents a graphic example of what their free trade deal holds in store for Canada. Against the wishes of local residents and governments alike Mr. Brisco and the Tories approved the sale of West Kootenay Power and Light to an American corporate giant, Utili- Corp. By his failure to support the combined voices of the municipal and regional governments of his constitu- ency Mr. Brisco showed that his loyalty to the ideology of free trade and to the big business interests it serves is greater than his loyalty to his own con- stituents. If Mr. Brisco is going to base his political future on his government's disastrous free trade agreement then I'd suggest he would be a lot wiser to try for a patronage appointment in the Senate now while Brian Mulroney is still prime minister rather than count on West Kootenay voters forgetting the lessons of the Columbia River Treaty in the next election.

They're passing it on to every- body.” — Toronto coach Bob O'Billovich comment- ing on a flu bug that has struck some of the Argos as well as sportswriters in Vancouver covering the game. RECORD SETTERS Russ Jackson set a Grey Cup record when he threw four touchdown passes in the 1969 championship, which the Ottawa Rough Riders won 29-11 over Saskatchewan.

Every CFL team has won the Cup in Van- couver — except the B.C. Lions, who lost both of their hometown champion- ship games in 1963 and 1983. In 1961, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers defeated the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 21-14 THE GREY CUP Esks, Argos ‘hungry’ ‘The pre-game hype and hoopla is over and all that remains is the game itself. Both the Edmonton Eskimos and the Toronto Argo- nauts are hungry for another championship ring and both hope this afternoon's 75th Grey Cup game in Vancouver will provide them with that piece of jewelry. It is safe to say the Eskimos are probably not quite cover last year's Grey Cup when the Hamilton Tiger Cats thumped them 39-15. The stadium is the same one they suffered their defeat in last year. Only this time around it’s the Argos, not the Ti-cats, they're up against. As for the Argos, they haven't sipped champagne from the Grey Cup since 1983, when they slipped past the B.C. Lions 19-17, again in B.C. Place Stadium. Edmonton enters today’s game with more Grey Cup experience than the Argos. The Eskimos have a total of 53-man games of cup competition. The Argos have 16-man games. Despite the advantage and experience, the Eskimos are not taking today’s game for granted, and they are not going on the field overly confident. Edmonton quarterback, Matt Dunigan has only one line of strategy for today’s game: go out and give it his all. “I feel confident that I am going to get out there and be the best that I can and that’s all I ask of myself and that’s all I am going to do is do the best that I possibly can on Sunday at my position,” Dunigan told the Castlegar afternoon. “T'm concerned with all of them. They have worked well as a defensive unit and that has been the key to their success, playing well together,” said Dunigan. He adds that he is pleased with the job that he has been doing as the anchor of the Eskimos offence and that the key to winning today is to be consistent on the field. “I think things are going fine, we just need to go out there and have a consisten effort, and play hard and ‘besiesily just play the best 60 minutes of our life,” said Dunigan. Only five players remain from Toronto's Grey Cup champions of 1963 and three from the 1962 Grey Cup finalists, in which the Eskimos trounced the Argos 32-16 in Toronto. Guard Dan Ferrone, linebacker Don Moen and slot- back Paul Pearson played in both 1982 and 1983, while punter Hank Ilesic and offensive tackle Kevin Pruenster joined the Argos in 1963. . For Argonauts head coach Bob O'Billovich, this marks his third Grey Cup game as coach. O'Billovich said the line of scrimmage will be a key factor in today’s game. “The control on line of scrimmage is going to be just like last week's game (against Winnipeg). I said that going into the game last week, that whichever offensive unit did the best job of controlling the other team's front seven, it’s going to be the key factor, I feel the same way this week,” O’Billovich said. He added that the Argo front seven have done “s good job” against the Eskimos. “I think we've got a lot of things‘we can do offen- sively. We are not a one-dimensional team, we've got a lot of versatility with Gill (running back Fenerty) in the backfield.” O’Billovich said he expects his squad to be ready when they take to the turf this afternoon. “We're in excellent shape for that (mental attitude). This is a hungry bunch, I'd be awfully disappointed if these guys don't live up to my expectations of showing up and ready to play... . They're playing the kind of football I think all fans enjoy and I'm a big « fan as anyone when it comes to watching a group of football, whether it's our team or someone While the Argonauts are pumped for today's game, so were the Winnipeg Blue Bombers when they were stopped 19-3 by the Argos in the CFL Eastern final. The big difference is that the Eskimos respect the Argos, says O'Billovich. “The Edmonton football team, I think, and the Toronto Argonauts have a lot of respect for each other and they haven't been saying a lot of with their mouths. They are talking on the field and that's the way it should be,” said O’Billovich. He added that Winnipeg is a “different type of team.” O'Billovich said he tells his team to get pumped up before taking to the field. paid to win football games and.omany given day, if you're not ready to play, anyone can be beaten.” , He added teams have to be consistent in how they approach the game. said attitude can win games. “There's no question about it.

By RANDY STARKMAN HINTERTUX, Austria — If results in training runs counted towards the World Cup standings, Canadian downhiller Felix Belezyk would have enjoyed a superb 1986-87 campaign. But unfortunately in skiing, a strong performance in training is akin to slugging a home run in batting practice or netting a hattrick in a hockey scrimmage. It does nothing to pad your statistics. What it does, though, is demonstrate potential. And Belezyk plans on fulfilling his in the approaching Olympic season. “For once, I'm not worried at all about not being able to have a good run when I want it,” said the six-year veteran. “I feel like I can really control it, that I can turn it on and off. It’s really exciting t) way for me. I never quite had the full picture before.” Belezyk appeared on the verge of a breakthrough last season, but it never materialized. He won two training runs at the World Cup in Mount Allan but slipped to 15th in the race. At Kitzbuehel, Austria, he was consistently in the top five in practise but was 16th in the race. ‘There are many skiers on the World Cup circuit who have reputations for fading on race day after doing well in training, but head coach Glenn Wurtele said Belezyk does not belong in that category. “I really think it’s bad luck,” said Wurtele. “I've seen this guy under many pressure-filled situations and he doesn't choke. I think if everything comes together for him, he could be in for a heckuva year.” The indications are positive so far. As the team broke from training camp here this past weekend, Belezyk occupied first place in the standings of the Coaches Cup, a competition based on performances in practice runs and designed to keep the team in sharp racing fofm. Belczyk top Canadian in training That he was leading two teammates ranked ahead of him in the world downhill rankings — Rob Boyd (eighth) and Brian Stemmle (18th) — was an encouraging sign. It was a competition the skiers were taking very seriously. “That's one of the things that makes our team st now,” said Belczyk, rated 25th in the world in downhill. “It's intense from the first thing in the morning until 9 o'clock at night. It's that kind of intensity that’s going to give us a good race season.” Belezyk’s best World Cup showing to date is a fourth- place finish at Kitzbuehel, Austria, in 1986. His highest finish last year was a 10th in the downhill at Aspen. But the 26-year-old said the results don’t tell the entire story. “I don't have to look strictly at a piece of paper to tell me how I'm doing; I have to feel it inside,” he said. “One of the things that really keeps me skiing is that each year T've been able to improve. I have skied really well in the past and now I feel I'm skiing better.” Belezyk, who became a national alpine team member in 1981, is the only holdover from the era of the Crazy Canucks. Perhaps survivor is a better term. After the success of the Crazy Canucks, most of Canada’s top prospects were immediately thrust into the downhill program without a sound technical base. Few prospered. Among the casualties was Ottawa's Scott Shaver. Belczyk said it was a difficult period for the young “We were never really the same team. The Crazy Canucks were this one cohesive group and they'd been together for years and years. They just wanted things to stay the way they were,” he recalled. Belezyk said the current team possesses the perfect attitude for the sport. “Guys are pushing harder and getting hungrier. We're realizing there's a lot more in our grasp.” Ferraro nets TORONTO (CP) — Ray Ferraro scored two goals as the Hartford Whalers easily defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 42 in the NHL on Saturday night.
