Moyie whistle to blow

The whistle of the S.S. Moyie, the last passenger freight sternwheeler that operated in western North America, is going to sound again over Kootenay Lake for the first time since 1957.

And the Kootenay Lake Historical Society, which has recently secured a $350,000 emergency preser. vation program for the ship, has issued an invitation to all friends and supporters of the Moyie to celebrate at Kaslo on Thanksgiving Day, Oct. 10 starting at 2 p.m.

“We want everyone who cares about the Moyie to come and celebrate and hear the whistle,” says Isabel Butler, vice-president of the society, which has operated the ship as a museum since 1958

Butler, a former mayor df Kaslo, heads the committee established about a\ year ago to raise $175,000 in matching funds to secure a $175,000 grant for the ship from the federal government

The Save Our Ship campaign for the Moyie had raised about $82,000 by Aug. 6 when Nelson-Creston MLA Howard Dirks announced a $100,000 B.C. Lottery Fund grant that took the campaign over the top. At the same time Kootenay West MP Bob Brisco presented the signed cost-sharing agreement securing the $175,000 in funding from the federal government

Canadian Parks Service officials are expected in Kaslo after Thanksgiving Day to turn over plans and specifications for a new support cradle for the ship, which will include a vault for controls for a fire protection system

“We are anxious to proceed with the preservation program and hope to see work underway this fall,” Butler says.

The whistle, which was mounted near the Moyie's funnel at the end of September, is a symbol for full restoration of the ship, Butler noted

“Mr. Brisco and Mr. Dirks have both indicated that further funding for the Moyie might be forthcoming if we are able to raise more money for the ship. So we will keep the S.S. Moyie Preservation Fund open for further contributions, from people who care about the Moyie people out there who have not yet heard our ‘SOS’ for the ship.” 2

Efforts will also continue to obtain funds from corporations and foundations for specific projects for the ship.

Restoration of the Moyie whistle is an illustration of what can be done by big corporations, Butler said

Winston Churchill Barclay, a machinist at CP Rail's

Ogden Shops in Calgary who is establishing a retire: ment home near Kaslo, took note of the historical society's call for help with the Moyie whistle during the winter. He went to the works manager at the shops and got the go-ahead to work on the whistle.

After a visit to Kaslo in the spring he took the whistle back to the shops, where he and about 20 other skilled craftsmen restored the whistle and recondi tioned old rail equipment to make the whistle blow

About a dozen national corporations, including CP Rail, which operated the Moyie on Kootenay Lake for nearly 59 years, made cash donations to the preservation fund

“The whistle celebration gives us a chance to say thank you to our contributors and supporters. We'll have free refreshments and music for everyone.

“We have had marvellous support from people in the Kootenays and that support has made it possible for us to secure government grants for the preservation program.”

Expenses for the Save Our Ship campaign were covered by the historical society, which allowed the Moyie fund-raisers to guarantee that every penny of every donation would go into the preservation fund.

“We tried to keep expenses at a minimum and could not have succeeded with this campaign without the tremendous media support we received in the Koot enays,” Butler says.

he Moyie fund-raisers have not had the budget to track all the media support given to t ampaign, but noted that the Nelson Daily News, the Castlegar News,

Patrick Division most unpredictable

The Canadian Press

The Patrick Division is the largest in the National Hockey League, the most balanced, and by far the most unpredictable.

It is a division where any of the six teams can finish first, or last. There is that little to choose between them and that little to divide them.

All six Patrick teams finished with winning records last season, and only eight points separated the first-place New York Islanders from the sixth-place Pittsburgh Penguins.

There is little reason to expect much of a difference from the Patrick teams this season, except maybe an order of finish. No one club dominated last year, and no one will this year.

Here is a look at each Patrick Division team in their predicted order of finish.

Philadelphia Flyers

Unquestionably the most talented team in the division, the Flyers should rebound from their third-place finish to recapture first.

Successful, but immensely disliked, coach Mike Keenan has been replaced by popular Paul Holmgren, 80 the mood of the players should be infinitely better. Scoring machine Tim Kerr is healthy and will be available from the start of the season, and goaltender Ron Hextall won't have to worry anymore about the sophomore jinx.

And Ron Sutter and Mark Howe figure to rebound from their off-seasons last year.

The club's defence has never recovered from the trade of Brad McCrimmon while Brad Marsh has slowed down. But Kjell Samuelsson has come into his own and looks ready to move into the forefront of league blueliners,

New Jersey Devils

An overtime goal by John MacLean in the 80th and final game of the season lifted the Devils into their first playoffs and nearly carried them inta the Stanley Cup final.

New Jersey ended up advancing from the Patrick Division before bowing to Boston in the seventh game of the Wales Confe final. The psy ical benefit of that and having outstanding goaltender Sean Burke for an entire season, should keep the Devils breathing down the Flyers’ neck all season.

New York Rangers Without question, this will be the most interesting

team to watch in the division, this season if only to see Guy Lafleur in the lineup.

The 37-year-old ex-Montrea!l Hall of Famer is coming back after four years of retirement. While he is not expected to provide his one-time brilliance, his presence should add some motivation to a team that often needs it.

The Rangers’ strong points are excellent goaltend ing provided by John Vanbiesbrouck and Bob Froese and an improving young defence.

Pittsburgh Penguins

Last season, Mario Lemieux wrested the scoring championship away from Wayne Gretzky when the latter missed some time because of injuries.

This year, with Gretzky missing some of his ex-Edmonton temmates, Lemieux should not only recapture the title, but could also confirm himself as hockey’s best player.

And with the support of a few of his temmates, the nucleus of young talent under new coach Gene Ubriaco might be enough to squeeze the Penguins into the

playoffs Washington Capitals

If they gave an award for underachievers, this team would be a runaway winner every year.

Few teams look as good as the Capitals on paper. And few teams fall as flat as Washington does when it comes down to the crunch.

, Washington has the best goaltending tandem in the league with Pete Peeters and Clint Malarchuk and a credible defence with Scott Stevens, Kevin Hatcher and Larry Murphy

Mike Gartner will give the Capitals more than 40 goals, while Dave Christian and Mike Ridley should provide about 30 each.

New York Islanders

This is a club that will exemplify the parity of the division. Unfortunately for the Islanders, that means going from first to last place.

New York has one of the league's best goalies in Kelly Hrudey, but they won't have now-retired Denis Potvin in front of him.

Veteran defenceman Ken Morrow is on gimpy legs and the rest of the rearguard crew is young and inconsistent.

Pat Lafontaine could score 50 goals and Mikko Makela and Brent Sutter will find the range often enough.

Bruins picked first

‘The Canadian Press

The Adams Division has had three different regular-season champions in the last three years, and the topsy-turvy trend seems likely to continue in 1988-89.

That would augur well for the Boston Bruins, who yielded first place to the Montreal Canadiens last year, but went on to reach the finals of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

The Bruins’ playoff proficiency won them a lot of support as pre-season favorites. Included in the group is Montreal general manager Serge Savard, who calls them “the team to beat.”

Here's a look at the entrie: what many NHL observers believe is the most competitive division:

Bruins

Right winger Cam Neely, the Bruins top goal seorer with 42 last season, is only 23 years old and to get even better. The supporting cast is equally youthful, with centre Craig Janney and left winger Bob Joyce, both of whom scored seven goals in 15 games after joining the Bruins. Predicted finish — First.

All eyes are behind the bench, where Pat Burns makes his head-coaching debut. He was Savard's choice to replace Jean Perron, pushed out because management determined he did not properly maintain discipline among the players.

The no-nonsense Burns, a former policeman, will survive in the pressure-filled job. His team will give

the Bruins a good race, too, but will come up short because their offence revolves around right winger Stephane Richer (50 goals last season) and they lack depth on the wings.

Predicted finish — Second.

Buffalo Sabres

The Sabres finished nine points out of second place last season, and they will probably make the race even closer this time. The team is a blend of young veterans, such as centre Dave Andreychuk and defenceman Phil Housely (78 and 66 points respectively), and promising sophomores such as right winger Ray Sheppard and centre Pierre Turgeon.

Predicted finish — Third.

Quebec N.

No team in the- division has personnel moves.

Added to an offence led by left winger Michel Goulet and centre Peter Stastny (48 and 46 goals respectively in 1987-88), the Nordiques acquired centre Walt Poddubny, and his 38 goals, from the New York Rangers,

Predicted finish — Fourth

made more

Hartford Whalers How the mighty have fallen! The Whalers surely can't have as many people fall to a slump or injury as they did last year, but maybe the 26 goals they got from players such as Ron Francis and Kevin Dineen aren't an aberration. Predicted finish — Fifth.

Ciccarelli signs with Star

The Canadian Press

Dino has returned and the Bandit has been banished as NHL_teams continue last-minute roster juggling in preparation for the new season.

Action begins Thursday night with nine games, including one with the Detroit Red Wings at Los Angeles marking Wayne Gretzky's regular- season debut with the Kings.

Dino Ciccarelli, the Minnesota North Stars’ all-time leading scorer, skated with his teammates Tuesday after ending a 24-day holdout and settling on a new. four-year, $14 million US deal that makes him the highest-paid player in’ the team's history.

The right winger missed all of training camp and demanded to be traded because he was unhappy with his $225,000 US salary for 1988-89.

General manager Jack Ferreira finally agreed to give him a sub- stantial raise. The new deal is worth an average of $350,000 a year.

“I thought maybe I could go to a new team or a new town,” Ciccarelli said. “But we have new management and a new team here and there's no reason I can’t get my fresh start right here.”

inquiry planned

TORONTO (CP) — The daily volley of accusations and denials that have kept the Ben Johnson saga boiling for more than a week contin ued Tuesday.

And a judicial inquiry that might resolve some of the questions sur. rounding Johnson and his entourage will be formally announced in Ottawa today, a source said Tuesday.

The inquiry would call witnesses to testify under oath, a broader power than was anticipated when originally announced.

More than 100 reporters jammed into a meeting room at Toronto's posh Sutton Place Hote! to hear Johnson's first words to the national press since his disqualification from the Seoul Olympics.

The Toronto sprinter lost his gold medal in the 100-metre race last week after testing positive for banned anabolic steroids.

around a statement issued Tuesday by Johnson's coach, Charlie Francis. In his first public statement since the scandal, Francis said the pres. ence of the steroid stanozolol in Johnson's urine sample “can only be explained by a deliberate manipula tion of the testing process.” Futerman said Johnson has no proof to support the coach's charge. He also backed away from an earlier theory by Johnson's U.S. manager Larry Heidebrecht that a water bottle had been spiked with steroids. “We have no evidence to substan tiate a claim of sabotage," Futerman

INSTRUCTS JOHNSON The lawyer said that although he has instructed his client not to speak with members of his entourage, Johnson has not formally severed ties with them. Johnson, meanwhile, managed to

“Thave never — ever — knowingly taken illegal drugs,” he said, reading from a brief statement. He pledged to continue training and return to racing.

But a news report out of Seoul suggests the Jamaican-born sprinter was taking many medications prior to his record-breaking race — even though he didn’t know what some of them were.

PRODUCE DRUGS

Dr, William Stanish, chief medical officer of the Canadian Olympic team, said Johnson was asked to produce all his medications to the International Olympic Committeé af. ter testing positive for the perfor. mance-enhancing drugs.

“There was an assortment of medications, some in unlabelled bot- tles,” Stanish told the Toronto Globe and Mail. “The IOC doctors couldn't even tell what they were.”

The drugs have yet to be analysed.

Johnson had been under the care of his personal physician, Dr. George Mario (Jamie) Astaphan. But the runner has stopped short of accusing him, or anyone else, of giving him steroids.

“Ben is not pointing his finger at anyone,” Edward Futerman, John. son's lawyer, told the news confer

“We are not going to waste any more time with him,” Ferguson said. “We're going to lock his equipment up — his skates and sticks and everything else — until such time as he comes around and apologizes for his behavior.

“We're not going to take any more of it.”

Mark Kumpel, Gilles Hamel and Kent Carlson also have been as- signed to Moncton, Ferguson said

In Hartford, Conn., defenceman Charlie Bourgeois and left winger Lindsay Carson will return to the* minors for the first time since 1984 after being demoted to Binghamton, N.Y., of the AHL by the Whalers. Veteran defenceman Larry Trader also got a pink slip

In Philadelphia, the Flyers, who had great hopes for young defence. man J.J. Daigneault when they ac quired him from Vancouver two years ago, decided to ship the Mon treal native to their AHL affiliate in Hershey, Pa.

In Vancouver, the Canucks placed goaltender Frank Caprice on waivers as they had promised him if he wasn't going to be seeing a lot of ice.

If Caprice is not claimed by another NHL team, he'll be sent to Milwaukee of the International Hoc key League. That's where goaltender Darren Jensen, defenceman Randy Boyd, left winger Paul Lawless and centre Dan Hodgson were assigned Tuesday.

The Canucks also acquired the rights to free agent Mel Bridgman, although the veteran forward who was with Detroit last year has signed to play in Europe this winter.

In Landover, Md., the Capitals sent forward Lou Franceschetti to the AHL/s Baltimore Skipjacks.

keep ab a h from the proceedings Tuesday, joking at the news conference and later calmly signing autographs metres away from a group of anti-Johnson pro testors.

Futerman, who did not allow Johnson to answer questions, said he is researching avenues of appeal to competition bans levied on Johnson and added that he’s been-promised a say in how the government inquiry is staged.

The outcome of the inquiry may result in criminal charges, should it find Johnson was unknowingly doped with ‘steroids, government lawyer Shirley Tucker Parks said.

Paul Dupre, president of the Can adian Track and Field Association, told CBC television that he hopes the inquiry will focus on the whole Ben Johnson incident, with emphasis on Johnson's “entourage and environ ment.”

Futerman also attacked the cred ibility of an article that appeared in Stern, saying Johnson never spoke to reporters from the West German magazine. In a story called The Doping Games, the magazine quoted Johnson as saying that he would never race again and was vowing revenge on “whoever did this to me.”

Michael Juergs, Stern's chief edi tor, denied the allegation.

Johnson's only other interview on the scandal was given to the Toronto Sun, in which he denied steroids use

Mets rally in 9th to slip by Dodgers

LOS ANGELES (AP) — There seemed to be no way Los Angeles could be beaten after eight innings of the opener of baseball's National League playoffs.

But a three-run rally in the ninth against a pair of pitchers who had been virtually unhittable since Aug. ust gave the Mets an improbable 3-2 victory Tuesday night

The underdog Dodgers know they'd better win tonight’s game or they're in big trouble in the best-of. seven series.

“If we don't bounce back, it's going to be over quick,” Dodgers outfielder Mike Marshall said. “We played a good ballgame, things just slipped away in the ninth inning.”

Run-scoring singles by Marshall in the first inning and Alfredo Griffin in the seventh gave Dodgers’ ace Orel Hershiser what appeared to be an insurmountable lead enterting the ninth

Hershiser finished the season with an all-time record 59 consecutive scoreless innings, not allowing any scoring since Aug. 30, and had con tinued his incredible pitching into the postseason.

He scattered five hits over the first eight innings, but he finally gave up a run in the ninth on a leadoff single by rookie Gregg Jefferies, an infield out and Darryl Strawberry's RBI double to right-centre field

“That at-bat was the most impor tant of the year for me and could turn

the series around,” Strawberry said “Even when I had two strikes in the ninth, I just kept hanging in there

“I knew I wouldn't get anything to pull, so I just went up the middl with it.”

Hershiser was removed — a de cision he supported after the game in favor of Jay Howell, who hadn't allowed a hit in his final 7 1-3 inning of work, since Aug. 29 — and hadn't given up a run in 18 straight inning:

Howell walked Kevin McReynolds but struck .out Howard Johnson for the second out of the inning. Up came Gary Carter, a veteran who has delivered many clutch hits in his career but suffered through a season of frustration

The first two pitches to Carter were strikes, and the Mets catcher appeared overmatched. The third was a breaking ball, down and away and the lunging Carter blooped it t« centre.

“I made the pitch J thought would win it for us and I came up empty, Howell said. “I've got to give the guy (Carter) credit. I did what I wanted to do with it.”

Playing deep, Dodgers’ centr fielder John Shelby didn’t appear to get a good jump on the ball. He made a dive, the ball glanced off his glove and dribbled a short way away from him.

Strawberry scored easily second and McReynolds around from first,
