McReynolds, 25, who played at Michigan State from 1985-88, spent miost of last season playing for Moncton of the American Hockey League..He had two assists in nine games at Winnipeg. On Monday, the Rangers acquired right wingers Jody Hull from Hartford and Ray Sheppard from Buffalo. In exchange for Hull, New York sent centre Carey Wilson and future considerations to the Whalers. The Rangers paid an undisclosed amount of cash for Sheppard. McReynolds, orginally drafted by the Rangers in 1985, was signed by the Jets as a free agent June 9, 1989. He was a member of the 1988-89 Canadian national team. A Nelson native, Wheeldon, 23, was at Flint of the International Hockey League last season. Injuries blamed on ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Arachnophobia opens in movie theatres next Wednesday. Toron- to Blue Jays rookie outfielder Glenallen Hill plans to go see the movie, which is about killer spiders. “I have to go see it,”’ said Hill, who explained cuts and scrapes on his feet, knees and right arm last week by saying he had suffered the injuries during a violent nightmare about spiders. ’m afraid of spiders, but there’s a sense of reality. I can sit there and watch other people get scared and know it’s just a movie.”” He was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Thursday. Hill said that while sleeping at his Toronto apartment early last Friday he dreamed that two large spiders were falling on him. He said he jumped out of bed and ran into a wall, then — still asleep — scampered up a flight of carpeted stairs, suffering friction burns on his knees and feet Hill, who was hitting .239, said he had a second dream a couple of nights later in which a spider was coming at him. He was sleeping on a couch, jumped up and banged a knee against a coffee table. “I think I’m going to get some help,”’ said Hill. ‘‘I don’t know what happened. If it happens again, maybe I'd hurt my wife, or if we have kids, | might hurt them.” Gibson, Claire mum on fight over trade leak CHICAGO (AP) — Kirk Gibson isn’t talking now. Neither is Fred Claire. Tommy Lasorda is telling jokes. Last weekend, Gibson asked the Los Angeles Dodgers to trade him, saying he wants to play closer to his Michigan home because of family problems unrelated to baseball. On Sunday at Los “Angeles, there was a shouting match between Gibson and Claire, the Dodgers’ general manager, over reports that Gibson had leaked a story that he wanted to be traded. “One thing led to another,”’ Gib- son said earlier. ‘Fred snapped at me, I snapped at Fred, and then things just exploded.”” Gibson also is unhappy the Dodgers want to shift him from left field to centre field. “*L ain't talking to you guys (repor- ters),"’ Gibson said before Thursday night’s baseball game against the Chicago Cubs. ‘'I didn't come here to have you following me around. “I’m here to concentrate on the game. I understand you have a job to do but it’s also my right not to talk. This is not the time oy the place... **You can speculate all you want,"’ Gibson said when asked about his being-quoted saying he wanted to be traded and that if he is not traded, he will leave as a free agent at the end of the season. “The media portrayed it out of context. Whatever discussions I've had with Fred and the Dodgers have been totally blown, out of propor- tion.”” Two weeks ago, Gibson was the subject of stories saying he wanted to be traded to Detroit. He spent eight seasons with the Tigers before becoming a free agent and signing a three-year contract with the Dodgers on Feb, 1, 1988. Claire was surrounded by reporters at Wrigley Field and was asked about the situation. “I'm not going to get into that at this point,’’ he said. ‘I haven't anything to say about it directly or in- directly.” Earlier in his office, Lasorda made jokes about the situation. “*It’s like this fellas,’’ Lasorda said, ‘I got it from an undisclosed source. **It was blown out of proportion . . . taken out of context.”” Later when Lasorda was told Gib- son said the same thing, Lasorda let out a loud laugh. “*Did he really say that? Isn’t that something.” No-hitters hit a high NEW YORK (AP) — No-hitters are coming in all shapes and sizes this season. There’s been a combo no-hitter, an eight-inning no- hitter by a pitcher who lost the game; a six-inning no- hitter, two no-hitters on the same day, a no-hitter by a six- foot-10 pitcher and a Nolan Ryan no-hitter. 4 hitter and lost. the second time a pitcher has tossed a complete-game no- The Yankees haven’t scored a run for Hawkins in 31 innings — on July 6 against Minnesota, he pitched 11 shutout innings but lost, 2-0, in 12. spider dream| The seventh no-hitter of 1990, tying the single-season major-league record, came Thursday night when Melido Perez of the Chicago White Sox beat the New York Yankees 8-0 in a game shortened to six innings by rain. That’s one inning longer than the rain-shortened no- hitter pitched in 1988 by Melido’s brother, Pascual, who watched Thursday’s game from the Yankee dugout. “It bothers me a little, because I think I could have gone all the way id of the rain-shortened con- it’s a no-hitter.”” The no-hitter came 11 day after the Yankees’ Andy Hawkins pitched a no-hitter against Chicago at Comiskey Park and lost when the White Sox scored four runs in the eighth inning on two walks and three errors. It was only VANCOUVER (CP) — Molson Brewery is considering selling the Vancouver Canadians baseball team to Japanese interests. The Pacific Coast League team has attracted considerable overseas atten- tion despite a price tag of $5 million, said John Winter, senior vice- president of the brewery’s western division. “We are entertaining offers,’” Win- ter said. ‘‘We’ve had lots of inquiries with the value of rifinor league teams increasing.” Molson has owned the PCL Canadians since 1984 after purchasing the franchise from Vancouver businessman Jim Pattison for an estimated $3 million.

The Canadians were the PCL playoff champions in 1989 under field manager-Marv Foley. They finished second the first-half standings this year.

Provincial NHA tournament SIDELINES Hextall says he's worth millions PHILADELPHIA — Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Ron Hextall says he’s partly to blame for his impasse with management, but his demand for a new deal with the NHL team in the million-dollar range isn’t outrageous. “Pay me what I’m worth or trade me,”” Hextall said. ‘‘I know there's interest our there, more than people let on. I hear things.” In 1987, Hextall signed an eight-year deal worth about $4 million, with payments spread over 20 years. He now wants to renegotiate. “People think I'm ridiculous to ask for this much money,”’ he said. “There's going to be probably 25 million-a-year players by the end of this season.” Hextall, who was suspended for the first 12 games last season by the NHL, held out and missed training camp. He says he ended his holdout when the Flyers promised to renegotiate his contract. But Flyers president Jay Snider says he won’t renegotiate. respect Jay a lot,’’ said Hextall, who wound up playing eight games last season due to the suspension and several injuries. “‘He’s been very good to me. I think the whole situation is unfortunate, and certainly, I’m partly to blame.’ Despite his talk of a trade, Hextall said: ‘‘1 want to play here, and I’m not blowing smoke.” Handling of release criticized NEW YORK — Centre Bryan Trottier, released last week by the New York Islanders after 15 years with the teams said he hopes to play at least two more years in the National Hockey League. Trottier said he was ‘‘confused and upset for several days about how my situation was handled by the Islander organization,”’ after the club bought out the last two years of his contract. “It was their decision that I no longer fit in their on-ice plans,”” Trottier said. ‘‘I understand that and accept that as part of the business. But I think after 15 years of devoted service, it would have been nice to have had a little more time to consider my options.”’ Trottier said he had just two days to consider the club’s offer ofa front office job if he voluntarily retired. Kings announce free agents LOS ANGELES — Forwards Mike Allison and Chris Kontos and goalie Mario Gosselin have signed termination contracts with the Los Angeles Kings, meaning they'll become free agents after the 1990-91 National Hockey League season, the team announced. Also signed to contracts as free agents were goalie Ron Cottt, centres Bill O’ Dwyer and Steve Graves; right wingers Francois Breault and Jim Thomson; defenceman Murray Brumwell, Stephane Richer and Dennis Smith, and left winger Tom Martin Brumwell will serve as a player-assistant coach for the Kings’ New Haven farm club of the American Hockey League. He replaces Tim Bothwell, who has.become the head coach of the Medicine Hall Tigers of the Western Hockey League. CBS all-star ratings healthy NEW YORK — For the first showcase event in its $1.1-billion deal with major league baseball, CBS drew solid ratings from the all-star game. Both the overnight ratings, a preliminary reading from 24 markets in the United States representing approximately 47 per cent of the country, and the national ratings showed increases over NBC's numbers for last year’s game. In the overnights, CBS’ pregame show drew a 13.0 rating, a five per cent increase over last year. For the period from the start of the game through the seventh inning rain delay — when the score was still 0-O — the overnight rating was 19.3, up three per cent points from a year ago. Then, when play resumed, CBS had a 12.1 from midnight to | a.m. EDT. Each rating point over 900,000 World Cup viewers declining NEW YORK — The World’Cup soccer final between West Germany and Argentina was watched by only one per cent of the television viewers in the United States and the 25 World Cup games on American television averaged less than half of one per cent. Turner Broadcasting said the final was watched in 1,066,000 households, the most viewers for any of its World Cup broadcasts. The telecast got a 2.2 cable rating and a 6.0 share, but those numbers are based on the 46 million homes that receive the network, not the 92 million homes with television in the United States.

Sense of heritage must be preserved “There are only two lasting bequests we can give to our children — one is roots, the other is wings.’’ — Anonymous It was my last British Columbia Heritage Society conference — and the best — for it brought into focus some basic considerations which for a long time have remained unresolved in my mind. I had planned to commute from the monastery near Mission for the four days of the conference but the travelling time was too daunting and I would have had to miss some of the private discussions which are of the greater value in these affairs, so 1 booked in at the conference hotel, the Surrey Inn. It boosted my initial personal expense to $335 but it was worth it. The conference, the 13th, I believe, was hosted by the populous, rapidly growing and very heritage- conscious municipality of Surrey. It was notable for its to dules, the time allowed for individual interactions between sessions and the quality of the speakers and debaters. The Hon. Lyall Hanson, the minister of municipal affairs, recreation and culture, and the Hon. Rita Johnston, minister of transportation, and many highly qualified people in a number of professions, spoke succinctly and under- standably. The impossible does sometimes happen The speaker who stirred me most, however, was the deceptively quiet Dr. Jacques Dalibard, executive director for Heritage Canada, scholar, world traveller and dedicated proponent to the concept of heritage. In his simple but profound approach and beautiful French accent, he put his finger precisely on the main problem of “‘our home and native sprawl” in the development of a vision for our future. He began by drawing on his own recollections as a young student at Quebec’s famous Laval University, working for several years on one of the old seigneurial farms which for hundreds of years had lined the banks of the St. Lawrence River for uncounted miles. They were long strips of land, each with its narrow piece of river frontage, its dock and small fishing boat, its fields, barns, farmhouse and wood lot at the rear. Within each community there would be a com- munity church, The people were modest, thrifty, hard- working and self-sufficient with a strong sense of community and cultural identity which had survived and flourished for hundreds of years. Then the politicians and planners decided to in- crease efficiency by imposing changes from the top. Large fishing vessels were introduced to catch more Reflections and recollections By John Charters fish and government docks and canneries built to land and process them and other products along the river. A major highway was cut through the farms to carry produce to the city. The only problem was that since there was no.sen- se of involvement of the people, and the farms were cut in two, the sense of place and community perished and the fragile local economy was destroyed. Within one generation the modest little farms were abandoned and became hundreds of miles of wasteland and the inhabitants recipients of welfare in the big cities. The operation was a success but the patient died. He then went on to discuss what I feel is a malaise of our community and country — the loss of a sense of place, of perspective and of roots.
