This will bring the reservoir to its full design level and permit generation of an addi- tional 43 megawatts of electricity for British Columbians as provided by the Skagit River Treaty between the United States and Canada. Geotechnical studies and investigations have indicated that the’stability of the shoreline should not be significantly affected by the change in water level. However, in the initial period following reservoir raising, some slough- ing or slides of surrounding slopes may occur without warning, creating waves dangerous to anyone on the reservoir or adjacent shores. Therefore, as a precautionary measure for public safety, no boating, swimming or other recreational use of the reservoir will be permitted for a period of two years. — @BCHydro TOWN TRAIL Rec news If you are looking for ac- tivities, why not stop by the recreation office and pick up our new May-June events calendar.

Kootenay Savings BOSTON (AP) = Led by three young rookies, the Boston Bruins ignored the suspension of New Jersey coach “Jim Schoenfeld and whipped the Devils 7.1 ‘Tuesday night. “We were on the money, everybody came to play,”. coach Terry O'Reilly said after the Bruins took a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven National Hockey League Wales fon- ference final. Frustrated by amateur officiating in a 3-1 loss that evened the series Sunday night in East Rutherford, N.J., the Bruins overwhelmed the Devils at home in moving within one victory of a shot at the Stanley Cup championship they last won in 1972. “We talked about how to score more goals, but everybody really knew what had to be done,” O'Reilly said. “We realized that we had to play a 60-minute game, that we had to cut down on mistakes and get to their goalie, Sean Barke. aN r “He's a good goalie when he gets momentum. That's the key word, Some nights he's hot and they have momentum. When we get hot, we have the momentum.” The Bruins fired 31 shots at Burke. They scored three goals on power plays while holding New Jersey scoreless when the Devils had a man advantage. The Devils learned about 35 minutes before gametime that Schoenfeld had been suspended for the game for his run-in with referee Don Koharski after Boston's 6-1 victory Friday night in the third game. Schoenfeld also was fined $1,000 and the Devils $10,000 for the incident. While Schoenfeld watched from a luxury box, general manager Lou Lamoriello, a former Providence College coach, assumed the role behind the bench. But it didn’t make any difference what the Devils did on the bench. They were outclassed on the ice “This has been a long day and it turned out to be a long evening,” Lamoriello said. “We have no excuses. “They took advantage of opportunities (3-for6 on the power play) and we didn't (0-for-7 with a man advantage) “We just want to put all this behind us. Schoenie (Schoenfeld) will be back (Thursday) for the next game. Hopefully, we can get things going. Wé've overcome adversity before. Canadian Olympian Bob Joyce scored two goals and U.S. Olympian Craig Janney had one goal and three assists Glen Wesley; another rookie, had three assists. “Tonight will be hard to forget,” said Burke, who joined the Devils from the Canadian Olympic team after the EXPOS WIN | Bruins one game away from final Calgary Games. “it's very disappointing, not a good feeling, “If you don't feel disappointed, there's something wrong with you.” New Jersey's Tom Kurvers said the Devils were determined not to let the Schoenfeld situation “bother us.” He said the game Sunday night was “a lot tougher to be ready for than tonight.” Kurvers said that the Devils have to “play the game the way we should” — avoid penalties and get an early lead — in the sixth game at home Thursday night (7:45 p.m. EDT, CBC-TV) “We've had a lot of scoring chances in every game and tonight we put away our chances,” Janney said, “We kept shooting the puck and it kept going in. 7 “We kept our heads up on a swivel and found the open man. Braves drop game ATLANTA (AP) Bryn Smith said he never got inté a groove, but it really didn't matter. His mastery of the Atlanta Braves didn’t diminish one bit “It was a case of a lot of adjusting,” Smith said after yielding eight hits in a seven-inning stint as the Montreal Expos downed the Braves 6-1 Tuesday in National League baseball play, im proving Smith's career record against Atlanta to 11-2. “I got some key ground balls for double plays that got us out of jams, and that helped,” Smith said. “I didn’t really throw quality pitches, but I the fifth.

He also singled twice in his first two major league at-bats. “I was just being nice to him,” Smith said, recalling he had played against Alvarez in the minor leagues in either 1979 or 1980.

B.C. Lions want ’ quarterback to lighten up By GRANT KERR Canadian Press VANCOUVER — The B.C. Lions are putting the squeeze on veteran quarterback .Condredge Holloway and his ample waistline. Head coach Larry Donovan has written Holloway and instructed the 34-year-old pivot to report to training camp next month at well under the 200-plus pounds he carried last season. Donovan will ask his quarterbacks to sprint out often in 1988 as he restructures an offence that used to feature dropback passer Roy Dewalt, with Holloway as the backup pivot Dewalt was declared a free agent last month after he took legal action to recover back payment of deferred salaries, leaving Holloway the leading candidate to be the starter in 1988. But, the Lions may have other jdeas and, with the emphasis on speed, have brought in several rookie quarterbacks who specialize in the roll-out offence. “Holloway fits into the plans . . . if he gets himself into great shape,” Donovan said Tuesday. “You have to have that extra conditioning when you get older. “If the young quarterbacks come in and show good promise, we may make the decision to go with youth.” TOP CREDENTIALS The five-foot, 10-inch Holloway joined the Lions in 1987 as a free agent after six ‘years with the Toronto Argonauts. He was selected the CFL's most outstanding player in 1982 when he threw 81 touchdown passes. The plumpish Holloway, who to be over 200 pounds, was used sparingly by the Lions last season and was the team’s third-string quarterback until Canadian pivot Greg Vavra was released late in the season. The Lions plan to take at least seven quarterbacks {o a special camp early next month and will select four to throw in training camp which opens June 16. Also ‘under contract are rookies Reggie Lewis, Rickey Foggie, Ed Blount, Walter Briggs and Willie Gillus, plus Mark Stevens, who had previous CFL experience with the Montreal Alouettes. The Lions had an apparent deal with pivot Brian Ransom, another former Montreal player, but he has not agreed to a medical examination of his bothersome knee and the contract remains incomplete. “Our quarterbacks must be mobile and hostile this year,” added Donovan. “It sounds a little bit silly to stay that, but it has to be that way. “If you're not, you won't last long in a league where the people chase you down.” COACH SCARED Donovan admitted the B.C. quarterback situation, without the proven Dewalt and the uncertainty about Holloway’s physical condition, is “real scary” and “which ever’ way we make the decision, we'd better not second-guess ourselves.” Holloway, a native of Huntsville, Alta., who played at the University of Tennessee, broke into the CFL in 1975 with the Ottawa Rough Riders and another rookie pivot, Tom Clements of Notre Dame. The following season the Riders won the Grey Cup i ip under C! and . Clements retired from the CFL earlier this week after winning the Schenley award in 1987 as the outstanding CFL player while a member of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. General manager Joe Galat of the Lions said Holloway, who came to the CFL at 175 pounds and played in Toronto at 190, shouldn't have any trouble meeting Donovan's i d weight req “T'm a few years older than 34 and I could lose some weight,” said Galat. “Connie's got to lose some weight — and not find it until the end of the season.” Pirates still on roll By The Canadian Press The biggest relief for Pittsburgh Pirates manager Jim Leyland this season has been a bullpen that extinguishes rallies instead of one that ignites them R.J. Reynolds, Jose Lind and Barry Bonds each drove in two runs, while Barry Jones and Jim Gott shut down San Francisco over the final four innings as the Pirates beat the Giants 6-2 in National League games Tuesday night Vicente Palacios, 1-2, allowed two runs and three hits over five innings for the victory as the Pirates won for the 11th time in 14 home games. Jones, remaining unscored upon in nine games, pitched two innings before Gott finished up for his fifth save. The three Pirates’ pitchers combined on a five hitter. “T’'m not just pleased with the bullpen, I'm pleased with the whole pitching staff,” said Leyland, whose team is 20-11 The Pirates didn't win their 20th game last season until May “I thought before the season we had a chance to have a real good, quality major league staff, because some of our young guys, like Jones and (John) Smiley got a valuable year of experience last season,” he said In other NL games on Tuesday, it was: Montreal 6, Altanta 1; Los Angeles 6, Chicago 5 in 14 innings; Cincinnati 10, Philadelphia 1; New York 5, Houston 2 and St. Louis 5, an Diego 1, Gott, a middle reliever last season for the Giants until being dealt to Pittsburgh, has 18 saves in a little more than three months’ service with the Pirates. He said the real pitching star was Jones, who had a 5.61 earned run average in 32 games last season. “What he’s done has been so important, it’s made it so much easier on Jeff and me,” Gott said. “Everybody in the bullpen knows what his role is, everybody's job is defined and that makes everybody's job easier.” Two big win By The Canadian Press Two long American League winning streaks are over with Oakland stopped at 14 games and Milwaukee at 10. The same thing happened to the Brewers last year, and their season was over, too. The Brewers lost 93 Tuesday night to Minnesota, the victim of another fine outing by left hander Frank Viola, who had his club-record scoreless streak end in the eighth at 30 1.3 innings. Last year, the Brewers won 13 games to start the season, then soon thereafter lost 12 straight to fall out of the East Division race. “It’s the end of another streak,” Milwaukee manager Tom Trebelhorn said. “But the one we started tonight is going to be shorter.” The Athletics, meanwhile, lost 8 2 to the Detroit Tigers, ending the longest winning streak since the franchise moved from Philadelphia after the 1954 season. In other AL games Tuesday, it was: Seattle Mariners 4, Toronto Blue Jays 2; New York Yankees 17, Chicago White Sox 8; Kansas City Royals 7, Boston Red Sox 2; Texas Rangers 13, Baltimore Orioles 5; and Cleveland Indians 7. California Angels 1 SHUTOUT BID ENDS In Minneapolis, Viola's bid for a third straight shutout ended’ with two out in the eighth when Robin Yount hit an RBI single to centre and Glenn Braggs hit his fourth homered. Viola had shut out Boston in his last two starts. Lind, the only Pirate to start all 31 of the team’s games, singled with one out in the first and moved to third on Andy Van Slyke's double. Giants starter Kelly Downs, 0-3, retired Darnell Coles ona line drive for the second out, but Reynolds’ sharply hit single to left made it 2-0. “T'm not really swinging the bat that well right now but it seems like every time I get a hit, somebody's on base,” said Reynolds, who has 17 runs batted in despite a .240 average. “I just want to help out and contribute until I start getting my hits.” DODGERS 6 CUBS 5 Kirk Gibson's home run with two out in the 14th inning gave Los Angeles a victory over Chicago. The homer, off reliever Les Lancaster, 1-3, was Gibson's sixth of the season. Brian Holton, 1-0, pitched three innings of one-hit ball for the vietory REDS 10 PHILLIES 1 Bo Diaz's two-run homer capped a five-run first inning and Tom Browning, 1-0, pitched a six hitter as Cincinnati routed Philadelphia. Cincinnati took a 5-0 lead in the first inning off Don Carman with a hit batsman, three hits, a walk, a wild pitch and Diaz's homer, METS 5 ASTROS 2 Gary Carter's run-scoring single broke an eight-inning tie and New York went on to beat Houston. David Cone, 40 pitched seven innings for the victory, allowing one run and four hits. CARDINALS 5 PADRES 1 Duane Walker's two-run pinch single broke a sixth-inning tie and St. Louis defeated San Diego. Walker's hit, his first since his contract was purchased on April 23 from Louisville, came off starter Andy Hawkins and broke a 1-1 tie streaks end Viola, 5-1, broke the 22-year-old Minnesota record of 28 straight scoreless innings by Jim Kaat. Viola gave up six hits, walked three and struck out seven in 7 2-3 innings Kirby Puckett went 4-for-4 with a homer, and Kent Hrbek and Gary Gaetti also homered for the Twins. Pucke'! and Hrbek started a six-run fourth with consecutive homers At Oakland, the Athletics’ winning streak was a team record and the longest in the major leagues since the 1977 Kansas City Royals won 16 straight. The AL record is 19 set by the 1906 White Sox and 1947 Yankees, while the 1916 New York Giants hold the major-league mark of 26. Walt Terrell allowed just four Oakland hits in sever innings, and Larry Herndon and Luis Salazar homered. The A's made five errors that led to three unearned runs. “Tt was a good way to lose,” Oakland manager Tony |.a Russa said. “We only got a few hits, got out-pitched by Terrell, and only made a couple of good defensive plays “We lost as a team.” YANKEES 17 WHITE SOX 3 Don Mattingly ended the longest string of homerless at-bats in his career with a three-run shot that ignited « seven run third inning, and the Yankees had a season-high 20 hits and 17 runs ta beat Chicago. ROYALS 7 RED SOX 2 Kansas City broke a six-game losing streak, all at home getting three RBIs from Steve Balboni and four hits from Bo Jackson, including two infield singles.
