Gare seeks elusive Stanley Cup

EDMONTON (CP) — Through his 12-year National Hockey League career, Dan ny Gare has proven he can be a scorer, a checker or a serapper.

Now the Nelson native is hoping one of those talents or a combination of all three will earn him a position with the Edmonton Oilers and a pos. sible shot at what for him has proven to be an elusive Stanley Cup.

Gare, 32, is at Edmonton's training camp as a free agent after spending 7'/: years as a Sabre in Buffalo and 4'/: with the Detroit Red Wings.

“I think I can contribute,” he said as he removed the No. 68 bib he was assigned for camp. “I know I can still score

“Checking is not new to me. I think I'm diversified enough to stay around. I'll do anything to stay.”

Buffalo's second choice in the 1974 draft is realistic about his chances of cracking the youthful, highspeed line- up of the former two-time Cup champions.

“It's an uphill challenge.” he said after another high tempo, two-hour practice. “They're obligated to the players they have under con tract ... and there's my age

“But I knew the pros and cons of coming here without a contract, if there are pros to it.”

A natural _rightwinger, Gare has scored 353 NHL goals, twice hitting the 50 goal plateau. But he slumped

last season to just seven in a stressful time with the prob- lem-plagued Red Wings.

His hopes of crack{ng the Edmonton lineup depend partly on what coach Glen Sather does with forward Glenn Anderson.

If he elects to leave An derson at left wing, Gare's chances improve. But if he puts Anderson on the right side, where he has enjoyed

some of his best successes, Gare's chances are reduced.

“Hey, I've played some left wing,” said Gare, looking trim and tanned after a summer of getting ready for camp. He wants the coaches to know that in order to improve his chances.

A former league all-star and a team captain in both Buffalo and Detroit, Gare is respected throughout the league as an aggressive hard

worker with a goalscorer’s eye

Asa free agent, Gare had a choice of camps he could attend and his selection of Edmonton was questioned by some people. But his decision was an easy one to make.

After losing their Stanley Cup crown last spring, the Oilers are eager to get it back and Gare wants to be part of that.

FOR EXHIBITION GAMES

NHL beefs up pen

MONTREAL (CP) — The National Hockey League an nounced experimental rule changes for the exhibition schedule to penalize the ag. gressor in an altercation, curb slashing and high sticking and inform fans of a referee's calls.

A player who instigates a fight will be assessed an extra minor, major or game misconduct penalty and the referee can consult the line- men to determine who was

the aggressor.

Any instigator assessed two such penalties will re- ceive an additional miscon duct while any player handed more than one major insti gator penalty will receive an automatic game misconduct

A minor or double minor penalty will be called, at the discretion of the referee, for a high-sticking infraction.

In addition, any player causing injury because of high-sticking or slashing,

whether the action was acci dental or not, will be handed a major penalty. Two such major penalties in a game will result in an automatic game misconduct

The referee also will have a microphone so his calls are heard through the arena’s public address system, the league said.

Video replay cameras will be used in certain pre-season games, the league said.

The changes, which are also aimed at reducing delays

Former agent jailed for theft

CALGARY (CP) — A former agent for three National Hockey League players was sentenced to three years in jail Friday after being found guilty of stealing his clients’ money to prop up his own floundering investments. Peter Spencer, 38, of Vancouver, was convicted in Alberta Court of Queen's Bench of stealing $59,000 from Edmonton Oiler Dave Semenko and former Oilers Ron Low and Doug

a bad-cheque

The court was told Spencer's elderly and ill parents, once-prominent Van couver residents, are now destitute after selling off their assets to pay off their son's debts.

Mr. Justice Paul Chrumka also found Spencer guilty of defrauding a Calgary branch of National Trust of $115,000 in

Chrumka said Spencer was evasive in the witness box and appeared to show no remorse for the crimes.

Flyers beats Isles

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Lindsay Carson and Brian Dobbin scored second-period goals to snap a 1-1 tie and lift the Philadelphia Flyers to a 3-1 NHL exhibition victory Saturday over the New York Islanders.

Brian Propp scored for the Flyers at 2:49 of the first period when he took a Pelle Eklund pass in the slot and beat goaltender Kelly Hrudey. New York replied at 6:02 when right winger Brad Lauer, 19, the Flyers’ second pick in the 1985 entry draft from Regina Pats of the Western Hockey League, took a pass from Ken Leiter and slapped a shot that deflected off Philadelphia defenceman J.J Daigneault's stick and past goaltender Bob Froese.

Rangers sign Melnyk

NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Rangers have signed defenceman Larry Melnyk, acquired midway through last season from Edmonton, and named former NHL player Peter Mahovlich as a minor league scosut.

A LOOK AT CASTLEGAR'S BEGINNINGS

Once again I quite innocently plucked at a loose thread and unravelled an entire sleeve. I was at city hall onjheritage matters and with a view to doing a story at sometime on the beginnings of Castlegar as a municipality I said to city clerk Betty Price: “Betty, I keep getting conflicting dates on the city’s beginnings. What are the correct dates for the Village. Town and City of Castlegar?”

Betty wrote down the dates from memory, then stricken by doubts, said: “I'll check the letters patent to make sure. They are quite handy.” She did, and with the help of Gwen Mason I got copies — of all 16 pages

Now, for those who are as uncertain as I am about these things, letters patent are not shiny, black ABC's but the instruments for bringing communities into legal existence. They are printed on legal size paper (8'/2" x 14”), written in an archaic form, designed to confuse all but the most diligent, and are signed and sealed by the provincial secretary. Nonetheless, if read carefully they give areal sense of the evolution of our (very new) city as well as an indication of historical changes in the country

Not entirely without good reason, I got the feeling that they would make more sense and sound better if announced by a very large gentleman dressed in a clocked hat, long coat, knee breeches, buckled shoes and a very loud voice (ie. a town crier). He would ring a large handbell to gain attention. Then, after the customary “Oyez! Oyez! Oyez!”, he would read or proclaim the message (letters patent) in a slow and dignified voice, ending with a mighty “God save the Queen!”

Try it. You may still not understand it, but it sounds great

This particular 1946 letters patent is headed w ith the signature of Lieut. Gov. C.A. Banks and ends with the copperplate signature of Geo. S. Pearson, provincial secretary, and the provincial seal. It brings into existence the Village of Castlegar.
