‘Casthait News June 10, 1987 LAWSUIT GOES AFTER UNION LOS ANGELES (AP) — The largest trade union in the United States would be run by court-appointed trustees under a reported Justice Department plan to take control of the Teamsters because of alleged influence from organized crime. An unprecedented lawsuit being drafted by department lawyers is aimed at forcing Teamsters‘ President Jackie Presser and the 20 other executive board members from office, unidentified sources told the Los Angeles Times. The move to assert federal control over the 1.7 million-member union would be the most sweeping step taken by authorities to rid the Teamsters of alleged criminal influence. The action woud pit the Reagan administration against the only major union to endorse President Ronald Reagan in the 1980 and 1984 elections. John Climaco, Teamster general counsel and Presser’s personal lawyer, declined to comment on the pending action. Joseph DiGenova, U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, whose sources quoted today by the newspaper said would be filing the lawsuit in Washington, also refused to discuss the matter. The civil racketerring action would be separate from a criminal trial for Presser scheduled to begin Aug. 10 in Cleveland. If successful, it would be the first time an entire union was placed in court-supervised trusteeship. HISTORY OF CRIME ‘The Labor Department and the President's Commis- sion on Organized Crime say more than 100 Teamsters officials and consultants have been convicted or indicted for embezzlement, mail fraud, bribery, racketeering or defrauding health and welfare plans in the past five years, ‘The proposed Justice Department action goes well beyond steps urged by the presidential organized.crime commission.

That fund has since been put under court supervision. Police: look for bombs QUEBEC (CP) — Provin- cial police raided ation of National Trade Union offices in Quebec City and Montreal on Tuesday as they widened an investiga- tion into alleged plots to bomb hotels around the province. Police did not make any arrests but seized about eight boxes of documents from federation headquar- ters in Montreal and search- ed the office of Gerald Lar- ose, president of the labor organization. The raids came just hours after three CNTU employees were denied bail pending preliminary hearings next month in an alleged plot to blow up hotels in Chicoutimi and Pointe-au-Pic owned by Raymond Malenfant, a Que- bec City businessman em- broiled in a bitter conflict Paper mill gets injunction BATHURST, Ns B. (cP) — The Consolidated Bathurst paper mill obtained an ion today to limit p by woodcutters who clashed Tuesday with riot police armed with tear gas and shields. RCMP arrested one man when members of the woodcutters’ association began tearing up copies of the injunction. A woman was also arrested and charged with obstruction after she allegedly ignored police orders to clear the road leading to the mill. About 40 women, incensed at the tactics used by police against the woodcutters, marched to the gates of the mill this morning as about 500 demonstrators stood nearby. “It wasn't right what they did to the men yesterday,” said Shirley Aube, the wife of one of the woodcutters. “We don't want violence,” added Gisele Hachey. “We just want our husbands to have the salaries they should have had 20 years ago.” Riot police used tear gas and physical force Tuesday to clear away hundreds of woodcutters blocking the road. The woodcutters, who are protesting low wages and poor working conditions, were trying to stop pulp trucks headed for the mill. As the women marched through a light rain, RCMP and New Brunswick Highway Patrol officers patrolled the area. By late this morning, there was still no sign of the pulp trucks that triggered Tuesday's tense standoff. Local truckers support the protesters and have not crossed the woodcutters’ blockade. However, Consolidated Bathurst hired out-of-province drivers for the deliveries on Tuesday as about 1,000 demonstrators and their supporters lined the busy highway. USE TEAR GAS The first convoy passed through a mist of tear gas as RCMP riot police marched in and cleared the road. About 50 helmeted riot police, armed with shields and clubs and wearing gas masks, broke up the blockade by lobbing tear gas and dragging away several demonstrators. At least 35 people were arrested and charged with obstructing a public road. They were later released but ordered to stay away from the demonstration. There were no injuries. Altogether, 10 trucks went through the blockade, delivering about 200 cords of wood to the starved mill. The woodcutters have been on the road for two weeks, insisting the $13 a cord they are paid for wood is not enough. They say they are prep: to their blockade all summer and they doubt the police and riot squads will stay around that long. New Brunswick Justice Minister David Clark admitted he gave the order calling in riot police. “The tear gas was used to ensure the safety of the police officers on the scene,” he said in Fredericton. “The commander felt they were threatened by the uglines sof the scene as it was developing.” Demonstrators were furious that the provincial government would take such extreme measures. with the federati The officers seized expense accounts, agendas, strike fund records and reéords re- lating to employees at Malen- fant’s Manoir Richelieu in Pointe-au-Pic. Yves Fortin, one of the labor body's regional vice- presidents, said that in Que- bee City police were looking for a list of names of unions which contributed to a sup- port fund for former employ- ees of the Manoir. Crown prosecutor George Letendre told reporters more charges would be laid against the accused and others in an alleged plot to bomb hotels owned by Malenfant in Drummondville and Mon- treal.

Kroop led after the five-mile run from Kinsmen Park to Keenleyside Dam, but Klassen overtook him in the 15-mile bicycle portion of the race back to Kinsmen Park. Nelson's Sharon Best was the top woman with a time of 1:18.32. Mary Asselin of Castlegar was second in CosNews Photo by Doug Horvey Stephanie Harmston of Castlegar captured the girls’ title in 1:36.40, followed by Jennifer Best in 2:13.49. Pat Paul of Castlegar took the over 50 category ina time of 2:50.56. Castlegar Cougars Athletic Association sponsored the event. In other Sunfest events, the Paul Strelaeff foursome of Castlegar took the lawn bocce championship. Other team members included Tim Court, Gail Verhaeghe and Terry Larraz.

Grace Devaux was second and = Bird,Celties get sunk BOSTON (AP) — Larry Bird may have missed the game's final shot, but he was right on target afterward. “We have our backs completely against the wall,” the Boston Celtics star said. Most of the time, the Celtics do all the right things to pull out close games. But this time, they made the mistakes and the Los Angeles Lakers made the shots. And now time is running out on Boston's struggle to become the first National Basketball Association team since the 1969 Celtics to repeat as champions. “We have to beat the Lakers three times in a row, two on their home court,” Boston guard Danny Ainge said. “We have a tough road ahead of us, but I know nobody will give up.” Los Angeles, which is 79-19 in the regular season and playoffs, didn’t give up Tuesday night when it trailed by 16 points with 4:54 left in the third quarter and eight with 3:20 left in the game. Its determination paid off when Magic Johnson hit a 12-foot hook shot in the lane with two seconds When Larry Bird's shot at the buzzer from the left corner hit the back of the rim and bounced away, the Lakers had a 107-106 victory and a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven championship series. “We haven't been a good road team all year,” Bird said. “I thought we had to win all three at home. “Now we really have our work cut out for us.” The Lakers can wrap up their 10th NBA title and foil the Celtics’ bid for their 17th by winning Thursday night at Boston Garden. If the Celtics survive that, they must go back to Inglewood, Calif., for Game 6 Sunday and, if necessary, Game 7 Tuesday night. Boston has lost its last six road games by an average of 15.7 points. “If any team is capable of beating us three straight, it's the Celtics,” Los Angeles centre Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said. “We have to continue to work hard.” Boston has been an exceptional home team — to the extent that everyone was talking about the mystique provided by its arena. The Celtics are 85-3 in their last 88 1:38.35, while Anita Idle was third in 1:40.30. Fred Nagel third. remaining. TORONTO (CP) — Quarterback Todd Dillon threw two touchdown passes as the Ottawa Rough Riders defeated the Toronto Argonauts 29-14 in the pre-season opener for both Can- adian Football League teams Tuesday night. Dillon threw touchdown passes to Clorindo Grilli and Tom Munro. Joe Paopao, who started the game at quarterback for Ottawa, threw a three-yard touchdown to Troy Smith. Dean Dorsey kicked all three con- verts and added two field goals and two singles. Toronto got a touchdown on a five-yard run by Cedric Minter. Lance Chomyc kicked the convert and added a single and field goals of 32-yard and 44 yards. The game attracted a crowd an- nounced at 23,126. John Congemi, Toronto's highly Cerutti to beat NEW YORK (AP) — John Cerutti spent his teen years rooting for Roi Guidry, trying to copy his pitching style and success. Cerutti would have made his role model proud Tuesday night, sort of. He shut out New York on three hits for 5 28 innings as the Toronto Blue Jays trounced Guidry and the Yankees, 7-2 in an American League baseball game. “I grew up following Ron; I always considered him my idol,” Cerutti, 27, said after the Blue Jays won their seventh straight game. “He was the one pitcher I tried to emulate.” Guidry, making his first major league start of the season, was not around to see all of Cerutti’s effort. Guidry was i i and gave up PITCHING WORKS Expos fall to Pirates MONTREAL (CP) — It hasn't taken Mike Dunne long to learn a basic lesson about pitching in the National League “It gets pretty easy when you have a big lead,” said the rookie right-hander, who won his first major-league baseball game as the Pittsburgh Pirates blasted the Montreal Expos 8-1 Tuesday night. “It means you can give up a lot of hits, like I did, and still not suffer too much.” In only his second career start, Dunne pitched a complete game, yield ing 10 hits to even his record at 1-1. He struck out four and walked four. Barry Bonds was the hitting star for Pittsburgh, pacing a 15-hit attack with four singles in four at-bats and three RBIs. “[ haven't been hitting well lately, I've just been missing my pitches,” said Bonds, who came into the game hitting .250. “So now I'm trying to shorten my swing and just make contact. “We'll see if it keeps working.” Larry Sorensen, 3-2, gave up six runs on six hits in one-third of an inning to take the loss. “I didn't make many good pitches,” said Sorensen, who came on when Expos starter Floyd Youmans left the game in the second inning with a strained back muscle. “Even when I did, they hit it.” Youmans, who was on the 15-day disabled list early in May with the same injury, said he didn't think the problem was as serious this time around. “T'm going to see the doctor (today), but it's just a little tight,” Youmans said. “The problem is that it keeps me from getting full velocity on my pit: ches.” With Youmans out of the game, the Pirates wasted little time jumping on Sorensen. Mike Lavalliere and Rafael Belliard greeted him with consecutive singles and then Dunne walked to load the bases. Bonds followed with a two-run single before Andy Van Slyke doubled home two more. Pittsburgh came back with four more runs in the third. Sid Bream and Jim Morrison started things with singles off Sorensen before R.J. Rey- nolds got a base hit off Randy St. Claire to load the bases Lavalliere walked to force in a run, then Belliard’s fielder’s choice brought in anothef run. Stars fail to get past Kimberley in cup play By, CasNews Staff The Castlegar Stars dropped a 10 decision to the Kimberley Athletics in the Kootenay Cup playoff round in Creston over the weekend.

Summer Games in Delta in July. In the game Saturday, Kimberley's Terry Ross drilled a shot at Stars’ goalkeeper Alex Ferreira that man aged to get into the net just under the crossbar. “I don't know how that ball got in. That game should have been our game in the first 10 minutes,” Stars coach Carlos Amaral told the Castlegar News. He added that his squad became frustrated after the first goal was scored on them. “After that our group gave up com pletely. It's kind of depressing,” said Amaral. The Stars’ next game will be June 17 when they play host to Trail Spurs. four runs on six hits in four innings as the Blue Jays padded their first place lead in the East Division. games at the Garden. Ottawa downs Argos touted rookie quarterback from Pitt, left the game early in the fourth quarter after apparently hurting his knee when tackled. Congemi, under a lot of pressure from the Ottawa rush, completed three of 10 passes for 57 yards. One bright spot for the Argonauts was rookie tailback Gill (The Thrill) Fenerty, who slashed 30 yards on his first carry. Fenerty ran eight times for 78 yards and also returned a kickoff for 47 yards. Leading 16-7 at the half, Ottawa got a 40-yard field goal from Dorsey before Dillon found Munro to make it 26-7 at 7:04 of the third quarter. Chomyc made it 26-10 later in the quarter. The teams traded field goals in the final quarter before Chomyc added a late single on a missed field goal. The Argonauts jumped into a 7-0 lead when Minter completed a 10-play, 68-yard drive with a five-yard touch- down run at 7:34 of the first quarter. Dorsey could manage only two singles from missed field goal attempts in the second quarter as the Rough Ridgers pulled ahead with two touch- downs. Paopao, moving the Riders 83 yards in 10 plays, found Smith for a three. yard touchdown at 10:59. Dillon, taking over at quarterback for Ottawa's next series, then put together a five-play 44-yard march that ended with a five-yard strike to Grilli. The Rough Riders finished in the Eastern Division basement last season with a 3-14-1 record. Since then, the club has changed ownership, general manager and head coach. The Argos finished atop the East at 10-8 last year, but lost the two-game, total-point Eastern final to Hamilton 59-56. and Jays team up Guidry and Yanks Cerutti, 3-2, faced just one batter over the minimum for five innings. He was in no trouble until, with a 7-0 lead, Claudell Washington singled with two outs in the sixth and Willie Randolph walked. Toronto manager Jimy Will- ians then relieved Cerutti, who had thrown 60 pitches in a relief outing Saturday. Guidry, 36, had made three starts in the minors and five relief appearances for New York before facing the Blue Jays. The Yankees hoped his presence might give them a lift at a time when they are missing injured Don Mattin- gly and Rickey Henderson, but it didn't turn out that way. The Blue Jays, who routed New York 11-0 Monday night and moved past the Yankees into first place in the American League East, again domin- ated. SAFE.. .
