Hanford conference planned

By SANDRA HARTLINE

Would you give a dollar a
day to protect the future?

Irene. Mock, Nelson resi
dent and a teacher in the long
distanee education program
at Selkirk College in Castle-
gar, says she’s willing to do
just that to help fundraising
efforts for Our Nuclear Back.
yard: A Conference About
Hanford in Nelson April
10-12.

“Starting today, I'm pled-
ging $1 a day right up until
April 10, and I challenge
others to pledge a similar
amount.

Mock says participants
won't really be giving up
anything — just pledging a
minimal amount “to ensure
your own safety, and the
safety of this area.”

The Hanford Nuclear Res-
ervation lies 360 kilometres
south of Castlegar near Rich-
land, Wash. and is similar in
design to the reactor at
Chernobyl in the Soviet
Union, site of a nuclear melt
down last April.

The Hanford nuclear reac
tor, plutonium processing
plant and waste storage area

will provide a focus at the
conference for the following
issues:

@ health and environmental
effects of nuclear energy and
waste;

@ the connection between
uranium mining, nuclear
power and nuclear weapons;

© ethical and legal aspects
of the development of nuclear
power, including internation
al law;

@ the safety of the Hanford
reactor and the possibility of
an accident similar to that at
Chernobyl].

Dr. Rosalie Bertell, an ex-

pert on low-level radiation
and director of research for
the International Institute of
Concern for Public Health in
Toronto, will headline the
Nelson conference.

Other confirmed speakers
include the Rev. William
Houff, head of the Hanford
Education Action League in
Spokane; Dr. Fred Knelman,
an educator who recently
completeg’ a comprehensive
study of Canadian uranium
mining and its connections
with U.S. military weapons;
and Bill Lawless, a waste
management expert.

the America’s Cup yacht competition
Saturday, giving the remaining four
defenders an automatic place in the

mast failed

It was the second retirement from

QUEBEC (CP) — Al MacInnis’s goal with less than five
minutes left in the game lifted the Calgary Flames to a 3-2
vietory over the Quebec Nordiques in NHL action Saturday

for consecutive victories and goalie Don Beaupre's personal
six-game winning streak ended.

Chabot scored at 4:21 of the second period, taking Terry
Ruskowski's pass at the red line, breaking down the right
side and firing a 30 foot shot under Beaupre’s glove

Just seconds after shooting wide on a set-up from Dave
Hannan, Chabot still at the corner of the net, banged Willy
Lindstrom’s pass in at 4:44. His 10th goal of the season made
it 2.0

Chabot completed his first career three-goal game with
an empty net goal with 51 seconds left in the game

off to their fastest start in franchise history, defeated the
Buffalo Sabres, 4-3.

In raising their record to 13-11-2, the Devils reached the
13-victory level faster than any other team in their history,
which dates back to Kansas City and Colorado. The previous
record was last season. when they took 30 games to record
13 wins.

The victory was also the first over Buffalo in Brendan
Byrne Arena for the Devils, who were 0-51 prior to
Saturday's game. The loss was the third straight for the
struggling Sabres, who are 1-11-1 in their last 13 games.

The Sabres, losing 4-1, made things interesting at the
end with two goals in the final 26 seconds

The Devils came back from a 1-0 deficit after Mike
Foligno scored his seventh goal of the season for the Sabres
at 15:52 of the first period on a power play. Foligno tipped

MacLean tied it with his first goal of the night at 16:54.
He was credited with the goal when he shot from the boards

CAPITALS 3 CANADIENS 1
LANDOVER, Md. (AP) There's something about

Montreal that brings out the best in Craig Laughlin, and it's
not because the Canadiens are the NHL's defending Stanley
Cup champions.

Laughlin scored two goals and assisted on the other as
the Washi) Capitals the C: dis 31 and
completed a three-game series sweep over his old team.

Laughlin and Rod Langway came to the Caps from
Montreal prior to the start of the 1982-83 season, and they
still seek their best efforts against the Canadiens.

“Rod and I want to beat them more than any team, and
it carries over,” Laughlin said. “We try to get the other guys
going, to motivate them and lead by example.”

“We don't have to say anything,” Laughlin said. “The
other guys know how we feel

“ They keep telling us that Montreal got the best of the
deal, that they didn't want us.”

Washington coach Bryan Murray noted the motivation
by Laughlin and Langway, but said Washington's superior
speed was a key factor in the series sweep

» BRUINS5 FLYERS 0

BOSTON (AP) — Rookie goalie Bill Ranford, recalled
from the minors on Thursday, had 42 saves in earning his

power-play scores by Cam Neely and Ray Courque, and
went on to its third consecutive victory.

an eight-game unbeaten streak snapped in a 2-1 defeat over
Hartford on Thursday. Philadelphia has an 18-6-2 record, the
best in the National Hockey League.

Ranford, who will be 20 next week, was recalled from
Moncton after a 3-0 record in a brief stay in the American

shutout against Calgary, before being sent down

Mt. Allan resort
officially opened

CALGARY (CP) — The
Mount Allan ski resort was

taken to the top of the con.
troversial men's downhill

officially opened to a chorus
of cheers from the converted
on Friday as a Bavarian band
tooted its horns and skiers
slashed through ribbons.

The crowd of 300 included
builders, politicians, Olympic
officials and dignitaries were
invited to join in a party to
open the publicly funded,
$25-million facility

“Yes. Virginia

Weiss, Alberta Recreation
and Parks Minister. “Yes,
Virginia, there is snow on
Mount Allan

“Seeing is believing!”

He urged the guests to
promote a resort that adds 20
per cent to the ski terrain in
the Alberta Rockies.

Calgary Mayor Ralph
Klein, a non-skier. was quick
ly converted and became a
fan of the mountain, which
has been criticized for being
too flat, windswept and lack
ing in snow

“It's just great and that is
what every skier I talked to
said.” said Klein, who was

run. “I tell you, I'd never go
down that.”

Frank King. chief execu

all Albertans, especially
developing athletes

NOTES COURAGE

He praised the govern

Belcezyk

61st in

Super GS

By CasNews Staff
and News Services

Castlegar’s Felix Belezyk placed 61st
Saturday in a World Cup super giant
slalom ski race at Val D’Isere France.

Belezyk was clocked in one minute
47.68 seconds. Don Stevens of Rossland
was 68th in 1:49.46. Chris Mclver of
Rossland abandoned the race.

Markus Wasmeier of West Germany,
who finished a close second in Friday's
downhill, took first.

Switzerland's Pirmin Zurbriggen,
who won the downhill here by
17-100ths of a second over Wasmeier,
had actually posted the fastest time of
one minute, 39.13 seconds but was
disqualified for missing a gate.

Some officials from other teams were
upset that Zurbriggen continued to ski
after missing the gate — something he
also did at a race last week in Italy —
and have called for disciplinary action.

Wasmeier, 23, clocked 1:40.56 on the
course with a vertical drop of 600
metres and 52 gates. It was his third
career super giant slalom victory.

Robert ERlacher of Italy was second
with atime of 1:41.65, just more than a
second behind Wasmeier. Mare Girar-
delli of Luxembourg, the overall World
Cup champion last year, was third in
1:41.82.

The Canadians had the type of
results that could be expected from a
team that rarely competes in the
technical events.

STANDING

Rob Boyd, 20, of Whistler, had the
team’s best result, finishing 52nd in
1:46.08 after starting a distant 93rd in
the field of 106. Jim Read, 24, of
Calgary, placed 56th in 1:46.71.

“Tve been racing slalom and giant
slalom and this is so much faster that I
was really tentative,” said Read. “I
didn’t have a feel for the speed, so I
couldn't attack and race properly.”

As part of;the building program
leading up to the Calgary Olympics,
this was to be the first full season for
Canada’s technical skiers on the World
Cup circuit.

But as a result of the generally poor
snow conditions, Read said he will
return home today to race in some
Nor-Am events.

Read said he would likely have a
better opportunity to improve his
ranking at the Nor-Am races. He was

eighth in a recent International Ski
Federation race at Val Thorens,
France. A good start position is vital in
the slalom events, as the courses
generally deteriorate greatly for the
late racers.

Read, who was rated 56th entering
the season but hopes to crack the top
30 im the giant slalom rankings this
year, said it is a gradual process.

“We're moving up. It's just going to
take a bit of time and some more
experience on the World Cup. You
have to get comfortable with it.”

The other Canadian results in Satur.
day's"Puce“were: Daniel Moar of Rev-
elstoke, 66th in 1:49.00; Mike Carney of
Squamish, 69th in 1:49.68; Chris Kent
of Calgary, Tist in 1:50.56; and Rob
Bosinger of Banff, Alta. T2nd in
1:51.42.

With the victory, Wasmeier moved
into second place in the overall World
Cup standings with 62 points, 13
behind. Downhiller Peter Mueller of
Switzerland is, third with 51.

The men’s team now heads to Val
Gardena, Italy, where a World Cup
downhill is scheduled for next Satur.
day.

Meanwhile, in Friday's race Belezyk
finished 42nd.

Belezyk was clocked in two minutes
03.95 seconds. He was followed by Don
Stevens of Rossland, 43rd in 2:04.01.

Pirmin Zurbriggen of Switzerland
won the race in 2:00.98.

Markus Wasmeier of West Germany
was second in 2:01.15 and defending
champion Michael Mair of Italy took
third in 2:01.34.

Earlier this year, Zurbriggen won a
downhill race in Argentina

Brian Stemmle of Aurora, Ont., who
placed an impressive sixth in a training
run Thursday, was the top Canadian
finisher Friday with a time of 2:02.81,
which put him in 21st place.

Todd Brooker of Paris, Ont., claimed
41st in 2:03.88.

Robbie Bosinger of Banff, Alta.. was
46th in 2:04.14, while Michael Carney
of Squamish, placed 55th in 2:04.50,
Chris Kent of Calgary 62nd in 2:05.21.
Gary Athans of Kelowna, 64th in
2:05.26 and Daniel Moar of Revelstoke.
66th in 2:05.77

In Thursday's training run, Belezyk
was 32nd.

Canadian skier third
in World Cup GS

By ALAN ADAMS

WATERVILLE . VALLEY, N.H
(CP) — Josee Lacasse of Brossard,
Que. gave Canada its best showing at a
World Cup giant slalom race in 12
years Saturday, finishing third overall.

Lacasse, whose time of one minute,
12.41 seconds was the second fastest in
the morning run, had a combined time
of 2:27.41 for her best finish ever. It
also was the third time Lacasse has
placed in the top 10 in a giant slalom
race.

Kathy Kreiner was the last Canadian
to stand on the podium in a World Cup
giant slalom race. She did it in 1974

“It's about time,” said Lacasse, 21

“I finished last year with a fifth in my
last race and I've started this season
with a third. It's a great beginning.”

Vreni Schneider of Switzerland won
her third consecutive giant slalom race
at this resort community with a com
bined time of 2:24.92. Her victory
completed a Swiss sweep of the two
races. Teammate Erika Hess was the
slalom winner Friday

Another Swiss skier, Mari W
Lacasse skied an aggressive first run
but had butterflies in her stomach as
she waited at the gate for the start of
the second.

“On the fitst run, you have nothing
to lose so you just go for it.” she said
“It's either you make it or you don't so
you just go. But on the second, you
have more to lose so you tighten up a
little.”

FIVE QUALIFY

After a poor showing in the slalom
Friday, when only one Canadian ad
vanced go to the final round, five

Canadians qualified for the second run
of the giant slalom event

Lacasse was the only Canadian to
finish in the top 20 in the giant slalom
but says that's no indication of the
team's depth.

“If one can make it. everybody car
make it. If I can do it today, somebody
else can tomorrow.”

Karen Percy, 20, of Banff, Alta. was
23rd in 2:30.46. For Percy, 20, who was
19th overall in Friday's slalom race. it
was her second best giant slalom finish

Liisa Savijarvi of Bracebridge, Ont
was 25th at 2:30.70, while Dian
Haight, 22, of Fruitvale followed at
28th with a time of 2:31.42

Canadian coach Currie Chapman was
thrilled for Lacasse but less thrilled for
her teammates.

It shows she’s a pretty mature gir
and that she can handle the pressure
he said. “I know she felt she had to
prove something this because
right at the end of last season she had
her best results.”

Chapman said the other girls could
have done better

“They are choking a little when it
comes to racing. They are better than
