Doug Gilmour's cool pays
dividends in Calgary

By JOHN KOROBANIK
The Canadian Press

Doug Gilmour has heard it all this”

Season; the chéap shots about his
manhood, vulgar sexual comments
and lewd remarks. about teenage
girls.

Often the Calgary Flames forward
wanted Yo react, but he knew he'd
only be a loser

“Many a time I'd have loved to
yell back and tell them where to go,”’
Gilmour says, of insensitive fans who
constantly reminded him of the
Sexual misconduct charges laid
against him last August by -the
Parents of a 14-year-old St. Louis
girl

“But I wasn't going to give in to
them. J] was determined I was just
going to play my game, prove to
everybody and to myself that this

thing shouldn't have been there to
start with.

“In” my mind, I think’I'm win-
ning.”

The worst four months of Gil-
mour's life culminated Dec. 27 when
he stood in front of a St. Louis
County grand jury knowing the story
he was about to tell would determine
his future as an NHL player and asa
husband and father.

He had to convince the 12-member
jury there was no basis for the charge
that he had sex with the family’s
teenage babysitter.

“It-was a weird feeling,’ he re-
calls, ‘They're people who are sup-
posed to be fair but you just never
know about a jury

“You have to stand up in front of
them and tell your side of the story,
be as honest as you can, and lhope
they take your side. There are 12
people and they control your life."*

The jury dismissed the charge
There are still two civil suits to be
settled. For Gilmour, the worst is
over.

“Through it all my wife and I got a
lot closer our marriage is
stronger now than ever.”’

Through it all Gilmour found the

support he needed from his wife,
Robyne, his three-year-old daughter,
Maddi and his new

on the Calgary Flames

Gilmour came to the Flames on
Sept. 5 — six days after the suit was
filed — in a seven-player deal with
the St. Louis Blues.

Gilmour doesn't like to speculate if
the trade was wise, or if he would
have been better off staying in St.
Louis and facing up to the situation.

“*You can never tell, you can't say,
no one Caf afiswer because I wasn't
there: When 1 was traded 1 felt it
make me look like I was lrunning
away from the problem

“Now I think,things worked out for
the best."

LIKES RESPONSE

To Calgary coach Terry Crisp,
what's been most impressive is how
the situation was handled

“Doug and his wife and family, to
handle what they had to go through,
they did it with a lot of class.

“Even the media in Calgary han
died it with class. No one fired any
cheap shots and I think that helped
Doug."

Gilmour remains one of the NHL's
premiere players

Stastny wallows
in minor leagues.

HALIFAX (CP) = The fong, wind=
ing road that brought Anton Stastny
from-Czechostovakia to Quebec may
be coming to an end in Halifax

The __nine-yeat__veteran of _ the
NHL's Quebec Nordiques was re.
cently sent down to the club's farm
team, the Halifax Citadels of the
American Hockey League.

“It's not the greatest thing that's
happened in Anton's life.” observed
Martin Madden, Nordiques general
manager

“But I think he wants to go to
Halifx and show us we made a mis-
take, in hopes we will recall him as
soon as possible."’

The Citadels are tied for second
place in the North Division of the
14-team AHL, which serves as a
proving ground for young players on
whe way up and as a burial ground for
veterans in decline

“At this point, Anton seems. to
have lost the offensive spark that’s
always been with him,” Madden said
by telephone from Quebec

Stastny, a-29-year-old-left-winger;
has only five goals in 41 games this
season. Before, he had never scored
fewer than 25 a year.

After starring on the Czechoslovak
national team, Stastny and brother
Peter defected following the 1980
Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, N.Y
A third Stastny, Marian, joined the
Nordiques the following year and has
since left the game

Anton Stastny was recently placed
on waivers, giving other NHL clubs
an opportunity to claim him — and
his $300,000-a-yéar salary. No one
did

“We're still looking at the possib-
ility of a trade, but it’s not a priority
and we're not optimistic,"’ said Mad

The Canadian Press

Since Harold Ballard gained control of the
Toronto Maple Leafs in 1971, 13 coaches, four
general managers and legions of players have passed
through Maple Leaf Gardens, home of. a once-glori-
ous hockey franchise.

Ballard remains king of his castle. And in his
18-year reign the Leafs have finished above .500 only
seven times, missed the playoffs four timies and
advanced beyond the quarter-finals once. It's 22
NHL seasons and counting since a Leaf held the
Stanley Cup.

“There is only one thing that needs to happen
before the Maple Leafs become a winning organ-
ization again," says Red Kelly, a former Leaf coacl.
and player

And what's that Red?

“I think you all know the answer,”’ says Kelly

The answer is something hockey people don’t
like to say out loud — as long as Ballard controls the
team; thé Leafs will continue to wallow near the
bottom of the standings but Ballard will control. the
team until

Ballard is an 85-year-old diabetic who recently
had heart surgery. Every time he goes into hospitai,
stock in Maple Leaf Gardens Ltd. soars in value.

When Gord Stellick accepted Ballard’s invitation
to become the youngest general manager in NHL
history last April, the former press-box employee
announced he was in charge

STELLICK ARRIVES

Stellick, 31, boasted that Ballard had empower-
ed him to turn a losing club into a team of winners:
But Ballard still calls” the | shots

In a recent interview, Stellick was asked what he
would do if Ballard gave him a carte blanche. to
improve the team

“| have some ideas, but I'd just as soon not
comiment,”” He replied

Most NHL owners take a hands-off approach to
their clubs, hiring the right people and holding them
responsible

Phe-Griffiths family-in-Vancouver-made such-a
move when they hired Pat Quinn to run the Canucks
Quinn cleaned house. A

“You begin in the front office and work your
way down,"’ Quinn explained.

Quinn surrounded himself with solid hockey
people and the results dre obvious. The Detroit Red
Wings did the same thing a few years ago and are
one of the NHL's best teams. The Minnesota North
Stars started over from scratch last summer and
continue to improve

The Leafs?

Ballard’s interference in the day-to-day opera-
tions was obvious once again during the John Brophy
soap opera

Stellick made no secret.of the fact he didn’t like
Brophy, whom he considered Ballard’s buddy.

BROPHY LEAVES

Stelfick spent last summer putting out the fires
caused by Brophy’s tough coaching style and when
the Leafs went on one of their many slides this
season, Stellick called their play a disgrace_and_a
joke

Ballard got rid of Brophy last

month and

replaced him with Hall of. Famer George Amrstrong.
at 58, Armstrong, a Leaf scout and former team
captain, is the oldest coach in the NHL.

The sight of Armstrong at the Gardens evokes
memories of Leaf glory years. But traditions die
easily under Harold Ballard. When John Kordic was
traded to the Leafs this season, he was assigned No.
27.

“‘Let’s put it this way,"’ says Darryl Sittler, the
Leaf’s career scoring leader with 389 goals and $27
assists in 12 years. ‘‘When I was given No. 27, my
first thought was ‘Wow, this used to belong to Frank
Mahovlich.’ I thought of ‘him every time I took to the
ice and how I had to play my very best to fill his
shoes.

“And now? I guess the number belongs to
Harold and he can do whatever he wants with it.”

Successful NHL teams have aggressive scouting
departments and up to eight scouts. The Leafs now
have three scouts.

Toronto has picked in the top seven at every
NHL entry draft since 1980. But it hasn't helped
them.

Bush
takes
over

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. President’ George
Bush said his inauguration day is a time ‘when our
nation is made whole” and said partisan bickering must
give way to “the age of the offered hand."’

“My friends, we have work to do,”’ Bush said in his
inaugural address, taking office as the 41st president.

“'Today is the concrete expression of a stunning
fact: our continuity these 200 years since our govern-
ment began."

Bush began his speech with warm praise for his
predecessor, Ronald Reagan, saying: ‘There is a man
here who has earned a lasting place in our hearts and in
our history. President Reagan, on behalf of our nation,-I
thank you for the wondferful things you. have done for
America.”’

“We meet on democracy's front porch, a good
place to talk as neighbors and friends. For this is a day
when our nation is made whole, when our differences
are, for a moment, suspended.”*

Sounding again a theme of his presidential
camaign, Bush said: ‘‘America is never wholly herself
unless she is engaged in high moral purpose. We as a
people have such a purpose today. It is to make kinder
the face of a nation and gentler the face of the world.

**My first act as president is a prayer. There is just
‘one use of power and it is to serve people. Help us to
remember, Lord."’

‘RICH WITH PROMISE’

Bush said he was assuming the presidency a
monteént_tich_ with promise.We live in a—peaceful,
Prosperous time. But-we can make it better

“A new breeze is blowing — and a_nation
refreshed by freedom stands ready to push on. There is
new ground-to be broken and new action to be taken
There are times -when the future-seems-thick-as-a- fog:
you sit and wait, hoping the mist will lift and reveal the
right path.

*"A new breeze is blowing, and the old bipartisan-
ship must be made new again. To my friends — and
yes, | mean friends — in the loyal opposition — and
yes, I mean loyal: 1 put out my hand

“For this is the thing: This is the age of the offered
hand

“We must act on what we know. I take as my guide
the hope of a saint: In crucial things, unity; in important
things, diversity; in all things, generosity."*

WORK TO DO

As he did during his presidential campaign, Bush
made an appeal for reaching out to the disadvantaged
and the homeless.

Americans’possessions ‘*
‘our lives,”* he said

“My friends, we have work to do. There are the
homeless, lost and roaming. There are children who
have nothing, no love and no normalcy. There are those

. work todo

who cannot free themselves of enslavement to whatever
addiction — drugs, welfare, demoralization that rules
the slums.

“Fhere is crime to be conquéred,'’ he added, ‘'the
tough crime of the streets. There are young women to
be helped who are about to become mothers of children
they cannot care for and might not tove. They need our
care, dur guidance, and education, though we bless
them for chosing life.’*

The new president said. he is committed to.‘‘a*new
activism, hands-on and involved.”
NEW HARMONY
He talked in general terms about working with
Congress to balance the federal budget and called for a
new harmony that he said should replace ‘‘a chorus of
discordant voices’’ on budget issues.
On Soviet relations, Bush vowed to “continue the
new closeness with the Soviet Union, consistent both

.with our security and with progress.”

He called improving U.S.-Soviet relations “‘the
triumph of hope and strength over experience."’

Bush called for a national expression of intolerance
and action to stop ‘‘this scourge"’ of drugs.

And, noting that schoolchildren were watching his
address throughout the United States, Bush sought to
talk to them directly

“Thank you for watching democracy’s big day

“For democracy belongs to all of us, and freedom
is like a beautiful kite that can go higher and higher
with the breeze

“There is much to do,
