Smythe gains respect

By JOHN KOROBANIK The Canadian Press

The National Hockey League's Smythe Division used to We ridiculed and laughed at; called the Snooze Division.

No longer.

After three straight years in the Stanley Cup final the division now brags about having the champions — Edmonton Oilers — and earning new respect.

Only the Oilers, with the best record in the NHL, and Calgary Flames finished above .500 last season but Vancouver Canucks and Winnipeg Jets were both close.

It's doubtful any of the division rivals will seriously challenge the Oilers’ bid for a fourth straight seasonal title. Nor is it likely anyone will sink to the Los Angeles Kings’ level of ineptness. But it could take the final week of the schedule before Calgary, Vancouver and Winnipeg get settled, likely in that order.

EDMONTON OILERS

Fiesty centre Ken Linseman was traded to Boston for Mike Krushelnyski who will likely start at left wing for Wayne Gretzky and Jari Kurri.

's absence will weaken the Oilers at centre and Krushelnyski could move there during the season. Other likely newcomers are forwards Raimo Summanen and Mare Habsheid.

Edmonton will still have the league's best offence with Gretzky, Mark Messier, Kurri and Glenn Anderson all potential 50-goal scorers.

There's likely no change on defence, anchored by Kevin Lowe and Paul Coffey, but it should improve with = age.-Andy Moog and.Grant Fubr provide solid goal

tending. 3 ,

The quesions are how the Canada Cup experience will affect the eight Oilers who played and how will the club, often regarded as the most arrogant in hockey, conduet itself as champions.

CALGARY FLAMES

The Flames appear settled with basically the same roster than nearly knocked off Edmonton in a seven-game series last spring.

Steve Bozek (broken finger) will miss several weeks and Doug Risebrough will sit out a six-game suspension received in that playoff.

After watching Kent Nilsson and Haakan Loob play

so well together in the Canada Cup, coach Bob Johnson will leave them together, likely with Mike Eaves if he's healthy.

Johnson has made a couple of line shifts but most of the bodies are familar. That’s the same case on the defence, anchored by a healthy Paul Reinhart.

Calgary is set in goal with Rejean Lemelin, one of the best in the NHL, and Don Edwards, who improved last season after working with Glen Hall.

VANCOUVER CANUCKS

New coach Bill Laforge takes his fighting reputation to Vancouver but it’s difficult to visualize the Canucks playing Laforge-style hockey.

The defence will be more mobile without Harold Snepsts and with Mice} Petit, Rick Lanz and rookie J.J. Daigneault. And the only problem in goal is deciding who to keep — Richard Brodeur, John Garrett or Frank Caprice.

But in the era of offence, the Canucks lack scorers. They'll need big years from Tony Tanti (45 goals) and Patrik Sundstrom (38 goals).

WINNIPEG JETS

Their strength is skating and offence. Only five teams scored more than the Jets last season. They have strength down the middle with centres Dale Hawerchuk, Laurie Boschman and Thomas Steen. The addition of left winger Perry Turnbull will further strengthen the attack.

Defence is the problem. Winnipeg gave up 374 goals last season — fourth worst in the NHL. Slowfooted veterans Randy Caryle and Robert Picard, obtained during last season, may help the defence but more important will be the maturity of Dave Babych, Tim Watters and Jim Kyte.

LOS ANGELES KINGS

Ironically, the worst team in the division last year was also the only team in the division to beat Edmonton twice.

Los Angeles has the same problems as Winnipeg — a competitive offence but weak defence. Pat Quinn, the latest coach to try to turn things around in Los Angeles, was tempted to keep rookie scoring star Brian Wilks but returned him to junior.

“He was very, very, very tough,” O'Sullivan, who weighed 148 pounds, said of Hammock. “With what I hit him with, I'm very surprised he didn't go down.”

Hammock circled and danced around his 22-year- old opponent early in the fight, hoping he’d be able to exhaust O'Sullivan enough to capitalize in the latter

Hammock, who had called O'Sullivan a “lazy” fighter prior to the bout, had nothing but praise for him after wards.

“He showed me a left hook that I knew nothing about said Hammock, whose right eye was black and blue and nearly closed. “Does it look like he's a lazy fighter?”

Peter Wylie, O'Sullivan's trainer said he hopes Shawn will box in Halifax next month and added that a Jan. 11 date has been set in Corn City, Ireland.

set up lottery

VICTORIA (CP) — The British Columbia govern ment announced Tuesday it will set up its own lottery foundation unless the West ern Canada Lottery Foun dation moves its headquar ters to the interior British Columbia city of Kamloops

Premier Bill Bennett an nounced in Kamloops that the new headquarters and data centre for British Col. umbia lotteries will be loc ated in that community 422 kilometres north and east of Vancouver.

It will be the administra tive and computer centre for either a new British Col umbia Lottery Foundation or the Western Canada Lottery Foundation depending on whether the other three western provinces agree to move their operations to British Columbia, Bennett said.

British Columbia's Social Credit government has been saying that the Winnipeg. based foundation and the 150 jobs associated with its head quarters should be based in the province because 52 per cent of lottery business is generated in British Col umbia.

Hydro at a crossroad

VANCOUVER (CP) — The recession has ended Britist Columbia Hydro's dam-building projects for the time being but it's also sparked discussion of whether Hydro should follow the path blazed by Ontario and Quebec and begin exporting hydroelectricity on a large scale.

B.C. Hydro is at a crossroad

It can wind down to little more than a service company until the next major project is needed, probably not until the mid-1990s. Or it can begin building major projects to supply long-term power to places like California and Alberta which now rely heavily on electricity generated by expensive fossi) fuels.

The decision is not Hydro's alone. The provincial government must decide whether the potential rewards are sufficient to compensate British Columbians for flooding more of their river valleys. And a complex interconnection of state governments and utilities in the United States will determine if there are any buyers and if there is transmis sion capability.

Two weeks ago Hydro chairman Robert Bonner announced that the Crown corporation was slashing its engineering staff by at least 50 per cent in an attempt to reduce costs a move that suggested Hydro, which has already reduced its staff by 2,000 to 8,000 in the last two years, was about to become a service company

But Bill Best, the man appointed to Hydro's newly created vice-president of marketing position responsible for selling the huge electricity surplus created because Hydro's forecasted load growths turned out to be wildly optimistic, said in a recent interview the loss of the engineering staff does not rule out a major exporting push

RELIES ON OUTSIDERS In the past, Hydro has relied on engineering staff from outside the corporation, said Best, adding that it could do so

again if necessary

Bonner said the primary problem now is whether Hydro can get access to U.S. power transmission lines to move the electricity to California on a regular basis to meet firm

contracts.

“We would need assurances that we would have access to sufficient inter-tie capacity,” Bonner said in a recent interview, adding that plans are afoot in the United States to increase the transmission capacity in the northwest by 1988 or 1989.

There are many difficulties in the way of enlarging transmission capacity, he said, “but not withstanding these difficulties the Americans will eventually upgrade the inter-tie.”

Richard Gathercole, a public interest advocacy lawyer who has worked extensively on Hydro issues in the past, is ppposed to a major exporting push

“Forget the environmental reasons, it economic sense,” he said in an interview

There may not be a market in California for electricity priced at a rate high enough for British Columbia to pay for the cost of building a massive hydroelectric project, he said citing advances in energy-efficiency technology and the con struction of expensive nuclear plants in California

Energy Minister Stephen Rogers tended to agree with that position earlier this year but recently his opinion has changed

makes no

COULD PRE-BUILD

Rogers said in an interview that he is now considering a plan to begin construction of the Site C dam on the Peace River in northeastern B.C. — Hydro's next major project on the drawing board but one that had been officially postponed until the 1990s to sell power to California

“We could pre-build something now that we know we will need in the future.” he said.

Rogers said his position has changed because Cali fornia’s position has changed

“We're haring a greater interest expressed by Cali fornia for importing these days. In the long term, past 1989-90-91, based on our current projections, it looks like they will be in a position to import power.”

He cited three reasons for the change: California's exceptionally strong economic recovery; the water situation in Washington state) and the fact that British Columbia's own power surplus is even greater than anticipated just a few months ago.

But Rogers said any question of exporting power depends on decisions in the United States about transmis sion capacity until those decisions are made there's no need for the government to change its export policies.

Police raid movie libraries

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Security police Tuesday raided photographic and movie libraries used by church groups opposed to South Africa's racial separ- ation laws.

The libraries share an of. fice building with the South African Council of Churches, one of the contenders for the Nobel Peace Prize to be an- nounced next week in Oslo, Norway

Daniel Vaughan, the Coun. cil of Churches’ acting gen: eral secretary, said there was no financial link between his organization and the offices that were raided, “but we would support their aspira. tions.”

Police carted at least five boxes of film, movie reels and video cassettes from the sec ond-floor offices after barring reporters from entering the premises in Khotso House near the Johannesburg Train Station. Police did not appear to make any arrests.

The libraries provide mat. erial to groups publishing in. formation on the white. minority government's sys. tem of race separation known as apartheid.

The raid may have been an evidence-gathering expedi. tion. Police last month seized television cameramen’s film on funerals for victims of re cent riots in black townships.

The cameramen said they were told police intended to use the film taken from them as evidence in court cases, presumably against people who threw stones at police vehicles after the funeral. Videos and pictures from the funerals were presumably in the libraries.

Also today, Minister of Law and Order Louis le Grange announced he was pulling army troops out of

riot-torn black townships where they had been de. ployed on the weekend to support _ police.

Le Grange said unrest in the townships had dimin ished and that the army

would return if violence flar ed anew

In the Indian Ocean port of Durban, three opposition pol. iticians spent their 27th day holed up in the British Con sulate. They are taking re fuge behind the mission's diplomatic immunity from security police who have or. ders to arrest the men with. out charges.
