Blues hand Canucks sixth defeat

By GRANT KERR

VANCOUVER (CP) — Benchwarmer Alain Lemieux will get a longer look by St. Louis Blues to prove that he belongs in the National Hockey League. -

The older brother of celebrated rookie Mario Lemieux of Pittsburgh Penguins — Alain is 23, Mario just 19 — scored three goals Tuesday night to lead the Blues to an easy 6-1 vietory over Vancouver, handing the Canucks their sixth straight defeat.

“It’s just my ninth game, I don't play that much,” said Lemieux after quadrupling his goal total. “It was kind of nes ak: 7 j easy: actually, because I had two open nets after the first In terms of expectations, between ’ ; . / | :

It was the first three-goal performance in the NHL for Lemieux, who had four goals and nine points in 17 games last season with the Blues.

“I would like to play every game; if I keep working hard I may get the chance,” added Lemieux. “I have to do well to stay in the lineup on this team.”

GOOD TRIP

It was the Blues’ third win in four games on a five-game road trip which concludes Friday in Detroit against the divisional rival Red Wings.

Doug Wickenheiser, captain Brian Sutter and Kevin LaVallee scored the other St. Louis goals as the Blues increased their record to 10-9-1 and moved to within a point of leading Chicago Black Hawks in the Norris Division standings.

Captain Stan Smyl, one of the few hard-working Canucks, scored for Vancouver 23 seconds into the game on a power play

The Canucks trailed 4-1 after the first period and 6-1 after two. John Garrett took over from the shell-shocked Frank Caprice in goal in the third period.

Mike Liut had few difficult saves in the St. Louis net even though Vancouver outshot the Blues 27-26.

“We've long overdue and it would be nice to take out our frustrations in Los Angeles,” said Canuck defenceman Rick Lanz. “But right now we're not consistent in getting ready for the games. Pp

Revelstoke looks to tourism

REVELSTOKE (CP) — Revelstoke has always been a railroading town, but plan ners of this mountain com. munity are looking beyond the steel to new economic vistas.

It's not that anyone is ignoring the railroad parti cularly since work is still going full steam ahead on CP Rail’s $600-million mainline improvement project just east of here.

But planners like Duncan Thomson, Revelstoke’s econ omic development commis. sioner, are looking towards North America’s highest ski ing peak and a tourist in dustry with tremendous po tential

The peak is Mt. Mackenzie with its powder snow ski run over a 2,000-metre vertical drop and it symbolizes the way of the future

The ski resort business alone would provide an esti mated 950 jobs if it were fully

developed.” Thomson says

Chamber meeting Thursday

A member of the Castlegar and District Fitness Centre committee will be the guest speaker at the monthly Castlegar Chamber of Com merce luncheon Thursday

Lloyd Wilson will make a presentation concerning the committee's investigation in to the community's need and requirements for additional athletic facilities at the Com. munity Complex

The luncheon is at noon at Castlegar’s Sandman Inn.

“That means an annual in. jection of $25 million to $30 million into the area.”

Thomson is also looking forward to the long-term be nefits of the massive Revel stoke Canyon Dam just being completed by B.C. Hydro. In addition to providing power and flood control, the dam will have a $2-million visitor centre and a museum of dam. building to draw tourists into the city in the Rockies

HAS POTENTIAL Also on the visitor indus try drawing board are the recreational possibilities of the vast Columbia River Treaty project's waterways

“You can get in a boat and cruise 300 miles south, across the U.S. border, all the way down to Grand Coulee Dam,” Thomson says.

“With a short cross-over or two, you go just about the same distance to the north

“ s boating with mag nificent scenery, good fish ing, water sports and more. It's hard to imagine all the possibilities.”

Thomson says commercial uses of the waterway are also in the works, starting soon with barges and tugboats carrying woodchips from Canadian milling operations to U.S. manufacturing plants.

But despite the tremen

dous growth potential of tourism, the railroad will al ways play a major role in Revelstoke’s economy

CP Rail spokesman Steve Morris points out that Rev. elstoke remains the railway's regional headquarters for southeastern B.C., and it's the gateway to Rogers Pass.

Morris, whose, chief job is acquainting the community with the massive rail im provement project, remains confident that the area's fu ture is still on the rails.

“Certainly Revelstoke will grow in many ways,” says Morris, “but the railway will always be a vital part of that growth.”

By CasNews Staff Stanley Humphries Sec ondary School swim team placed fourth overall at the B.C. high school swimming championships held at UBC on the weekend

“They did really well,” coach Mike Balahura said, noting that there were 99 teams registered in the championships. He added that the local team com peted against some of the best high school swimmers in the province.

Balahura said that indi. vidually, some of the Stan. ley Humphries swimmers swam personal best times.

Swimmer Wendy Pilla won a gold medal in the 50-metre freestyle in a time of 28 minutes, 90 seconds.

Stanley Humphries also won the gold in the 200 metre mixed mediey relay The team of Ken Kinakin. Jeff Schuepfer, Wendy Pilla and Helaine Oleski topped the relay with a

time of 2:11.37.

ROVINCIAL SHSS fourth overall

Ken Kinakin won two bronze medals — one in the 50-mere breaststroke, the other in the 100-metre In dividual Medley relay. Kin- akin’s time in the breast stroke was 34:05. He had a time of 1:08.29 in the med. ley

In other results, the school came fifth in the girls’ 400-metre freestyle relay with a time of 4:50.54. The school was also fifth in the boys’ 400-metre freestyle

In the 200-metre boys’ medley relay, Stanley Humphries placed sixth with a time of 2:09.10.

Jeff Schuepfer placed fifth in the boys’ 50-metre backstroke with a time of 32.18.

In the 200-metre boys freestyle relay, SHSS came seventh with a time of 1:58.01 and in the 200- metre mixed freestyle re- lay, the local team was fifth, finishing in 2:07.09.

Balahura attributed the team’s success to the fact the squad “peaked at the right time.”

“They were ready for the swim meet,” he said.

Balahura also said it was a “pretty balanced team.” “Everybody contributed to point standings. It was a basic team effort.”

The coach said that the team had been going to Nelson two mornings a week since September to practice. The team prac- tieed in Nelson early in the morning before classes be-

Association will host the 1985 provincial championships for the first time.

The championships for swimming, diving and water polo are to be held in the C.H. Wright swimming pool on Second Ave. in Trail, says Josie Thornton, secretary treasurer of the Kootenay region committee, which was a driving force in bringing the championships to the Kootenays.

It will be the first time since organized summer swimming began 26 years ago that the championship — to be held Aug. 22-26 — have been held outside the Lower Mainland and the Victoria area.

The event is expected to @ttract about 3,000 people to ‘Praih- and ares.

According to Kootenay re. gion director Al Thornton, the meet is expected to gen erate more than $500,000 from services like hotels, restaurants, campgrounds, service stations and general merchandising establish

P from both the public and the me- dia, Thornton says.

Josie Thornton said the reason Trail’s Wight pool was chosen was that it was the only pool in the area con sidered suitable for a swim meet.

A regulation pool must be an eight-lane 25-metre legal size in order to host the meet.

Josie Thornton said the pool is about 36% metres, but putting a block head in the pool will shorten it to 25 metres.

She said the Kootenay drive to host the provinciais began with a BCSSA officials meeting in Warfield last year. Officials attending the meeting got lost and ended up at the Wright pool instead of Warfield pool.

They were impressed with the facilities and suggested the region should consider hosting the provincials.

The Kootenay region en tered a bid and beat gut Vancouver Island and Kel owna.

The decision by the pro

vincial body was made at a meeting on Nov. 3. The meeting in Vancouver was attended by regional director Al Thornton of the Castlegar Aquanauts and assistant dir. ector Don McDowell of Rob- son River Otters swim team.

Josie Thornton said host. ing the provincials outside the Lower Mainland is a trial run. She said the association would like to alternate the championships between the Lower Mainland and com munities outside that area

“It gives all regions an opportunity to host it if there is an adequate pool and a supply of manpower,” she said.

The Kootenay region usu ally sends a swimming team to the championships every year. However, it is the only region without diving and water polo teams.

“Weare trying to get some interest (in those areas),” Thornton said. She said Gor. don Gibson of the Aquanauts, who is regional development co-ordinator for the Koot. enays, is trying to generate interest.

Pee Wees lose three

Trying to work out of an early season slump, the Castlegar Pee Wee As drop ped three games in the an nual Spokane Thanksgiving Tournament held on the weekend

Castlegar's first loss, 7-2, was to an exceptionally large team from Anchorage, Alas ka. Stephen Junker dented the twine for Castlegar with a breakaway early in the first period. A pass from a decked Anchorage winge rput Alas ka on the scoreboard at 7:13 in the first. A defensive play from Derek Kazakoff denied Alaska a goal to end the per iod 1-1

In second period action Alaska chalked up a four goal lead inspite of the de fensive efforts of Travis Ca hill and Derek Lalonde Gree made two shots on goal only to see themsmothered by the Alaska netminder The locals were only able to notch one more in the third when David Vecchio put the puck into the net on a pass from Jeff Barr the defensive Most Valuable Player for the game.

Saturday at the Lilac Arena, the uninspired Pee Wees were trounced 11-1 by an unrelenting Vernon team. At the end of the first period Vernon tallied four unan swered goals. At 12:18 of the second period David Joseph- son lit the lamp for Castle gar's only goal assisted by David Vecchio and Stephen Junker

Making Vernon look good repeatedly because of their inability to get into the game

Down but not out, Castle gar roared back against a formidable Cranbrook team. In a close tight-checking first period Cranbrook scored the

st goal on a power play. Castlegar’s Stephen Junker replied with a rebound as sisted by David Vecchio With 30 seconds left in the first period Cranbrook took the lead scoring on a goal mouth scramble. Danny Stelk tied it up for the locals assisted by Chris Postnikoff and Roger Carlson.

Cranbrook rifled a high

shot past Castlegar's goalie to take a 3-2 lead ending the second period. Midway through the third period Roger Carlson put it into the net for Castlegar, assisted by Frank Stroble and David Vecchio.

With 10 minutes left on the clock Cranbrook took the lead again in this see-saw affair with a slot shot into the upper right hand corner and cememted the win with its fifth goal at 1:38 in the third Jeff Barr was again named the MVP for the game.

“I'm optimistic about our chances of finishing in the finals as a result of this weekend,” LeMoigne said, adding, “It’s a bit early to predict the final outcome, not having played the coastal teams yet.”

LeMoigne did predict that the Saints will beat Cariboo College in the next league tournament scheduled for Jan. 26. Four league tourna ments are held to qualify for finals in March.

The Saints have no mat ches scheduled until early January when they resume exhibition play, including tournaments in Calgary, Van couver, the Okanagan and possibly Spokane.
