Persons: paying a visit to the facility will see a number. of changes from the previous wooden structure. The main entrance, concession and dressing room area has been dismantled and replaced with a concrete structure con- sisting of four dressing rooms, public washreoms, concession, referees room, lounge and maintenance of. fice. Total cost of the project was about $140,000. Partial funding for this area was made available by the federal NEED program under a joint application by the Regional District of Central Kootenay and the Kootenay District Council of Carpenters. Through the grant, $80,000 was made available to hire eight carpenters and brick- layers. Metge said a major portion of this phase was the installa- tion of a new lighting system, emergency lighting and fire alarm system. The installa- tion done on a volunteer basis by the International Brother-*- hood of Electrical Workers. The second major project at the facility was the struc- tural upgrading to the beams and foundation.

Islanders on six-game streak Ei By The Canadian Press i Head coach Al Arbour of New York Islanders started the National Hockey League season with three goal besides, breaking open a tight 2-1 game to give the Islanders a two-goal cushion when he slapped a shot past Philadelphia challenging veterans Billy Smith and. Roland Melanson to play well enough to keep Kelly Hrudey from stealing a job. It was Arbour's way of guarding against complscency on a team that has won the Stanley Cup the last four years. The strategy is paying off. With Smith and Melanson It ly out: g in goal, the Isl: are on a six-game National Hockey League winning streak. Melanson made 40 saves to lead his team to a 4-1 home-ice victory Tuesday night over Philadelphia Flyers. Elsewhere, it was: Edmonton Oilers 7, Quebec Nordiques 4; Calgary Flames 4, Pittsburgh Penguins 4; New York Rangers 5, New Jersey Devils 1; Hartford. Whalers 6, Minnesota North Stars 4; and Los Angeles Kings 6, Louis Blues 5. ; : “That was his best effort of the season,” defenceman Ken Morrow said of Melanson's display. “The way Rollie was playing, we didn't have to worry about the first shot.” Morrow was strong defensively and scored a goal Pelle Lind 4:49 into the third period. Brent Sutter, one of four Sutter brothers in the game, added his 12th goal of the season to seal the Flyers’ fate. Stefan Persson and Clark Gillies scored first-period goals for the Islanders. Philadelphia rookie Ron Sutter got one back before Morrow struck. The tight Patrick Division race has the Rangers in front with 22 points, Philadelphia second with 21 and the Islanders third with 20. The Islanders’ Denis Potvin, who had collected an assist in all 18 of his games this season, did not record a point Tuesday. f OILERS 7 NORDIQUES 4 In Quebec, Jari Kurri scored his 11th and 12th goals of the season and assisted on WayneGretzky’s league-high 20th as Edmonton won for the 18th time in 16 starts. Gretzky also drew an assist, giving him 44 points this season, 18 better ‘than Quebec's Peter Stastny who failed to pick up a point. Goals 12 seconds apart late in the third period by forwards Mark Messier and Dave Lumley .assured the Edmonton win. Dave. Hunter. and Willy Lindstrom also scored for the Oilers, while Anton Stastny, Dale Hunter, Wilf Paiement and Bo Berglund replied for the Nordiques. FLAMES 4 PENGUINS4 In Pittsburgh, Calgary coach Bob Johnson pulled goaltender Don Edwards in favor of an extra attacker and the move paid off when Lanny McDonald scored with 26 seconds left in the third period to enable the Flames to extend an unbeaten streak to six games. McDonald took a pass from Jim Peplinski and rifled a slap shot past goaltender Michel Dion for his ninth goal of :the season. Hakan Loob started the comeback with a goal 8:87 into the final period. 4 Mike Eaves and Paul Baxter scored Calgary’s other goals. Andy Brickley, with two, Jim Hamilton and Ron : Flockhart scored for the Penguins. RANGERS 5 DEVILS 1 In East Ruth N.J., Pierre L h on the power play for his 18th goal of the season,. Anders Hedberg, Barry Beck, Peter Sundstrom and Mike Blaisdell allsccrad for New York before New Jersey defenceman Joe Cirella ruined Glen Hanlon's shutout bid with 6:11 left. WHALERS 6 STARS 4 Greg Malone scored one goal and earned two assists and Risto Siltanen had three assists to pace Hartford, which used the home-ice triumph to move into a tie with the idle Buffalo Sabres for third place in the Adams Division. Sylvain Turgeon, Joel Quenneville, Blaine Stoughton, Ray Neufeld and Steve Styanovich also scored for the Whalers, while Dino Ciccarelli, with two, Brad Maxwell and Brian Lawton had Minnesota's goals. KINGS 5 BLUES 5 In Inglewood, Calif., Jim Fox's goal with 82 seconds left in regulation time lifted the Kings to the tie. Los Angeles outshot St. Louis 5-1 and hada manpower advantage during the five-minute overtime period but could not come up with a winning goal. Doug Smith, Steve Christoff, Ken Houston and Bernie Nicholls also scored for the Kings, while Mark Reeds and Wayne Babych had two each and Doug Gilmour one for the Blues. ° NEW LISTING.

The game will be played at B.C. Place Stadium for the next three years and it will be a post-season affair for the first time in 26 years. The last CFL all-star game was in Calgary before the 1978 sea- son. 5 “It will be a competitive and Cranbrook beat Elk Val- ley 7-2, On Sunday, Spokane clob- bered Trail 16-1 and Elk Valley downed Rossland 6-4. In the Rebels’ one-sided game Saturday night, Kevin Kirby and Perehudoff each scored in the first period for a 20 lead. Kelly Hurd, Rob Tamlin, Kirby and Obetkoff got the assists. Obetkoff scored twice in the second period, while Darren Hafner scored once. Assists went to Randy Mor- ris, and: Perehudoff. hi playing against your peers,” Blain said Tues- day. “We'll be working like heck to get things accom. plished ‘against the best players in the league. “It won't be dirty, or any- thing like that. People will play hard because they res- pect each other. A lot of the guys will be going 110 per cent to show they belong in the all-star game.” Blain was one of six mem- bers of the Lions named to the Western Division team which will oppose their east- ern counterparts. The game will be televised nationally. Other B.C. players named to the West team in voting by the Football Reporters of Canada were wide receiver Mervyn Fernandez, punter- kicker Lui Passaglia, defen- sive tackle Mack Moore, cor- nerback Kerry Parker and defensive halfback Larry Crawford. VOTING SPREAD . Six members of Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Calgary Stampeders also were sel- ected, along with five Ed- monton Eskimos and three Saskatchewan Roughriders, Passaglia was named the punter and tied with Trevor Kennerd of Winnipeg as the western place-kicker. Passa- glia kicked for 191 points this season, just four off the CFL record of 195 set in 1977 by Edmonton's Dave Cutler. Additional Winnipeg play- ers selected were running back Willard Reaves, centre John Bonk, defensive end Tony Norman, cornerback David Shaw and safety Paul Bennett. Calgary players named in- cluded running back Ray Crouse, offensive tackle Dave Kirzinger, defensive tackle Randy Trautman, mid- dle linebacker Danny Bass, outside linebacker James West and defensive halfback Richie Hall. The Eskimos placed quar- terback Warren Moon, inside receiver Tom Scott, outside receiver Brian Kelly, guard Leo Blanchard and defensive end James Parker. The Roughriders were rep- resented by inside receiver Chris De France, guard Rog- er Aldag and outside line- backer Vince Goldsmith. KIES ROO! Reaves, Crouse and Hall were the only rookies named to the western team. The un- animous selections were Moore, Crawford and Kelly. Blain said many of the players named as all-stars, H on our team, for example, who should have been all- stars this year. “The number of games you win go with the publicity you receive in a particular year.” The Lions finished first in the Western Division for the first time in 19 years with an 11-6 record. Toronto Argo- nauts repeated as Eastern Division champions, winning an eastern record 12 regu- lar-season games, and placed 12 players on the divisional all-star team. “T think you'll find that, if B.C. repeats in first place next year, more all-stars will be named from our team,” added the 6-foot-6, 262-pound Blain. “It's all in what you produce the year before and showing that you are a quality and consistent team.” 01 of the all-star luding himself, p ly earned the honors from their play in previous seasons. “My award is nice, I had a good season, but I think I probably played better in at least three other seasons in my seven-year career,” said Blain. “There's some linemen game assured a news con- ference that the game will be played at B.C.

ATLANTA (CP) — Dale Murphy insisted he was sur- prised by his second straight National League most-valu- able-player award, but his philosophy makes the honor seem logical. “In this game, if you're doing something right, you need to do it every year,” the Atlanta Braves’ centre field- er said. ‘ The. Baseball Writers’ Association of America on Tuesday made Murphy. the fourth NL player to win back-to-back MVP awards since. the. honor was created. in 1931. Murphy received 21 of 24 first-place votes cast by a panel comprised of two wri- tere from each league city. Andre Dawson of Montreal, Mike Schmidt of Philadelphia and ‘Pedro Guerrero of Los Angeles each received one first-place vote. Murphy had two second- place votes and one for fifth for 818 points as each pan- elist voted for 10 players. Dawson got 218 points, fol- lowed by Schmidt with 191 and Guerrero with 182. “I never thought of some- thing like that happening,” said Murphy, whose humility has been a trademark. “It's just tremendous, it’s a thrill again.” Murphy led the league this year with 121 runs batted in and with a .640 slugging per- centage. He was sixth in batting average (.802); sec- ond in runs scored (181); second in hame runs (36); sixth in hits (178); third in on-base... percentage - (398); fourth in walks (90); and tied for fourth in game-winning RBI (14). § He also stole 30 bases to. become the sixth major leag- uer to hit 30 home runs and steal 30 bases in the same year. TWOINAROW At 27, Murphy is the youngest in the NL to win consecutive MVP awards, The others were the Cubs’ Ernie Banks (1968-59), the Reds’ Joe Morgan (1975-76) and Schmidt (1980-81). Murphy is the second Brave to win the award. Henry Aaron won it in 1957. “I'm extremely honored and happy to share it with my teammates and coaches,” Murphy said, adding the individual honor could not erase the team's disappoint- ment in missing the playoffs. s Murphy will receive a $100,000 incentive bonus, Placed in his contract last year after his first MVP a vHe.has four years to py come setting his base salary at $1.3 million a year. After he won the award last year, Murphy, still dis- satisfied with his game, took manager Joe Torre's sug- gestion and attended the winter instructional league to improve his play. That attitude, Torre said, is what makes Murphy an Germany upset about injury but won't sue EDMONTON (CP) — Ed- monton Eskimos running back Jim Germany is still upset about the circumstan- ces surrounding his season- ending knee injury but not enough, he suggests, to sue the club. Germany, who exchanged crutches for a cane Monday more than 10 weeks after the Possibly career-ending knee injury, said he has received numerous phone calls from Edmonton lawyers clamoring to represent him if he de- cided to sue. “The thought of a lawsuit never entered my mind,” he said. “But when I got back to Albuquerque, (N.M.), I started getting phone calls from lawyers in Edmonton «+I guess the vultures came out and wanted to make a quick buck.” Germany returned to Ed- monton last week to have his cast replaced by a knee brace and his hes discard any day. That was the pres- sure, I felt I had to play.” Germany carried the ball only once in a game Aug. 26, On that play, without being hit, his left leg collapsed and his season was finished. - .“I don’t know who to be mad at,” said Germany, Ket- tela or the Edmonton medical staff which gave him the OK to play. “If it had been diagnosed earlier, I might be playing right now instead of being in a knee brace.” Now, he says, there's the matter of his contact with the Canadian Football League club. The seven-year Eskimo veteran has two years left on his contract. “I would hope they'd look after me, honor the rest of my contract, if I can’t play again.” CFL crowds down TORONTO (CP) — Figures released Tuesday by the Canadian Football League show six of the nine CFL teams drew fewer fans this season than in 1982 and the overall picture was only im- Proved by last-game atten- dance, chiefly in Montreal. When 41,157 paid fans crowded through the turn- for a cane. He originally injured the knee Aug. 5 and missed two games. The Eskimos’ head coach at the time, Peter Ketela, said he thought the injury was more mental than stiles at Me 's Olympic Stadium last Sunday to see the final Concordes home game of the season, it marked a significant turn- around for the club. The Concordes through most of the year were a physical. That said Germany, forced him to return to the active roster. FELT PRESSURE “I thought, if he's talking like this injury is all in my head, how long can it be be- fore he replaces me? He was the head coach and he didn't know me, he could cut me struggling or off and on the field. At the gate they averaged 21,185 fans in the cavernous Big O — which holds about 58,000 for foot- ball — for their previous seven home dates. Tuesday's figures show Montreal finished the season with total attendance of 189,101, an increase of 65,976 over 1982 figures. The CFL shows an in- crease of 78,765 over the 72-game season — a total of 2,622,844 — and an increase of 103,262 overall, including the pre-season games. The biggest increase was in Vancouver where the Lions drew 163,363 more fans than they did in 1982, an av- erage of 20,455 a game. Their total attendance was 364,840. Ottawa Rough Riders drew 185,573, an increase of 17,760, while Toronto Argo- nauts attracted 296,781 fans, 10,625 fewer than the pre- vious year.
