2a Caster News _ wey 0 Permits VANCOUVER (CP): — The provincial government's pollution permit system is ridiculous because it allowed a mill to continually violate standards, a B.C. Supreme Court judge said. Justice Thomas Dohm made the comment as a lawyer for the Western Pulp mill near Squamish argued that the mill shouldn't be charged, although it violates its provincial pollution permit daily. Mill lawyer Edward Chiasson cited passages in confidential letters bet- ween his clients and the federal and to argue there was an implicit agreement not to lay charges if Western Pulp-operated normally and continued its $70-million cleanup. program. Chbiasson conceded he ‘‘can’t point to a hard, specific, contractual agreement,”’ but said the letters corroborate the company's under- standing about how it was to address the dozen pollution charges laid against the mill last summer. Dohm, who reserved judgment on Western Pulp’s application to quash the pollution charges, asked why the B.C. Environment Ministry didn’t set certain dates for compliance and warn Western Pulp it would go out of business of be charged if the deadlines weren't met. ystem called ridiculous makes the whole system ridiculous,"’ Dohm said. Although the pollution charges were laid against the mill last August, no pollution evidence has been Presented to the courts. The provin- cial court trial was delayed until this June, after Western Pulp went to Supreme Court with an ‘‘abuse of process’’ legal argument. It is the second time Western Pulp has used the argumewnt to fight pollution charges. In 1988, the federal Justice Depar- tment stayed federal Fisheries Act charges after the pulp company in- with government officials indicating that efforts_to reduce air pollution would have a higher priority than measures to reduce water pollution. Lawyer Steen Blechingberg of the B.C. Attorney General’s Ministry said the province did not agree to give Western Pulp immunity from prosecution. He said the current charges were laid in August 1989, several months after a special ‘‘variance order™* gran- ted by then-B.C. environment minister Tony Brummet expired.

Castlegar cruised through the round-robin portion of the tourney and scored four runs in the last inning to win the semi-final before pulling out a nine-inning barnburner to win it Coach John Kaleshikoff—said Rezansoff was simply awesome. “She was the best pitcher at that tournament by a little ways. She throws as hard as a midget (age) pit- cher and she’s got the mechanics, definitely,’’ But it wasn’t all Rezansoff, Kalesnikoff said. The rest of the team was solid on defence and outscored the opposition 75-6 over the six games. “We probably outclassed some of the teams there," said Kalesnikoff. Sherri Finch and Leigha Belanger both stroked homeruns to lead Castlegar in that department Castlegar advanced to the playoff round’ by beating North Delta, Langely, Fleetwood and the Guild- ford Saints. The girls squashed Newton 9-1 in the semi-final to>set up the final against the Guildford Wildcats. With last bats and trailing 2-1 in the ninth, Castlegar’s Kris Myhra singled home Christina Evdokimoff from second base to tie the game. Myhra went to second on the throw to the plate and was bunted to third, then scored the winning run on an in- field single by Janet Kalesnikoff Castlegar Realty bantam girls softball team. At a tourney in Surrey last weekend, Rezan- soff struck out 37 batters and won all six games, leading her team to the championship.

Expos play Giant killers in Frisco SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Kevin Gross retired the first 18 batters and contributed a run-scoring double Saturday as the Montreal Expos beat the San Francisco Giants 7-4, ending ‘a four-game losing streak. Gross, 5-2, lost his perfect game when he walked Brett Butler to start the seventh inning. One out later, Will Clark broke up the no-hitter with a controversiat singte. On Gross’s first pitch, Clark hit a roller that appeared fair and was fielded by first baseman Andres Galarraga, but_umpire Greg Bonin called it foul. Clark singled cleanly to right field on the next pitch Gross then walked Kevin Mitchell and Kevin Bass hit a two-run double. Gross, who struck out six, was relieved by Tim Burke. Burke gave up an RBI grounder to Matt Williams and finished for his Jays lose again, B2 ninth save, stopping the Giants’ four- game winning streak. San Francisco got a run in the ninth on Bass’s RBI grounder. The Expos scored three runs in the second against Bob Knepper, 2-2. Galarraga led off with single, Marquis Grissom walked with one out and Knepper—committed—consecutive balks. Mike Fitzgerald and Gross followed with RBI doubles. Tim Raines singled in the third, took two bases on Knepper’s wild pit- ch and scored on Galarraga’s groun- dout for a 40 lead. Fitzgerald’s single, Spike Owen’s double and Otis Nixon’s sacrifice fly scored a run in the fourth. The. Expos scored again in the seventh on a triple by Raines and a single by Galarraga and added a run in the ninth on Raines’s RBI single. Oilers harvest two in Garden Scoring, goaltending stake Edmonton to wins BOSTON (CP) — Both teams were wondering what to make of Edmon- ton’s 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven Stanley Cup final. “Right now, I can’t believe we're up 2-0,"’ said Oilers captain Mark Messier. ‘‘We’re not even thinking about a sweep. “We'll go home, get some rest and come out hard in Game 3 (tonight)."’ Messier's- Oilers went into Boston Garden — one of the NHL’s smallest rinks where speed and scoring teams are supposed to bog down — and beat the tight-checking Boston Bruins twice. The first was a record triple- overtime 3-2 game the Oilers were for- tunate to win on Peter Klima’s goal at 15:13 of the third extra period. The second, on Friday night, was a 7-2 blowout as Jari Kurri celebrated his 30th birthday by scoring three goals to move past Wayne Gretzky in- to the fead in career playoff goals with 92. In both games, the Bruins dominated early only to be done in by Edmonton's remarkable ability to score goals “1 don’t think it was so lopsided, especially early,"” said Messier. ‘I think (goaltender) Billy Ranford held us in there."* Ranford was solid, considering that, like Boston starter Andy Moog, he had played all 115 minutes of last Tuesday's opener It was the veteran Moog who collapsed and was taken out for Rejean Lemelin at 4:21 of the second period after allowing three goals on four shots. Moog had led the playoffs with a 1.88 goals-against average and was @ big reason Boston reached the final, but he went to pieces against his for- mer teammates, allowing two goals on long shots. “‘He'll bounce back,’’ said Bruins defenceman Glen Wesley. ‘‘It hurts to see what happened to him. ‘*He’s carried us all the way and it’s frustrating to see him go through that.”’ Boston outshot the Oilers 10-2 in the first period and came away trailing 2-1. They've outshot Edmon- ton 79-53 in two games, but have been outscored 10-4 “You have to be able to come up a couple of notches on your op- ponent,’’ said Edmonton coach John Muckler. *‘We were able to do-that in the first period “Boston had some great chances and Billy shut them down. Then we were able to take over.”’ The Oilers are like nothing Boston has seen in the playoffs. After beating Hi d, | and W. three grinding Adams Division-style teams, the Bruins are suddenly faced, with an offensive nightmare Now they face the Oilers at the Northlands Coliseum, with its regulation 200x85-foot surface and fast ice, unlike the slow, bumpy ice at Boston Garden. ‘‘We have to go there believing we can win two games,” said Bruins defenceman Garry Galley. ‘‘We've been a good road team all year.” The Bruins were the best in the NHL on the road with a 23-12-5 record. But regualr season marks are misleading. Boston had two wins and a tie against the Oilers this year, although the last time they met was Nov. 9. As added psychological baggage. the Bruins have now losi six con secutive playoff games to Edmonton, dating to the Oilers’ four-game sweep of the 1988 final.
