Six colleges in B.C. and five Alberta colleges were represent- ed in the meet. In the women’s 4.8 km race Selkirk College runners Barbora Brych placed fourth and Angela Quintal came in 22nd. Alberta won the women’s overall team results, with 25 points, while their competitor B.C., racked up 35. The lower the score the better. Points are awarded for what posi- tion each runner finishes: one point for first, 10 for a tenth place finish and 22 points for a 22nd place finish. In the men’s 7.8 km run through the woods B.C. came out on top in the overall team standings with 21 points to Alberta's 34. Selkirk College men’s runner Karl Schneider ran across the line in 15th place, while Chris Owens and Dana Lindahl were 22nd and 29th respectively. After this race the teams take a break from competition. To keep in condition over the winter months Selkirk College Cross Country Coach Derek Peregrym said his runners “will be running three to four times per week to keep the endurance levels up and in January we will start working on speed training.” Selkirk College will be com- peting in the B.C. College Ath- letic Association event to be held in Cl in February. Westside goalie T Sommer dives for the puck after the Castlegar player slid it past him during a breakaway in Sunday's "A" final SUN SPORTS PHOTO / John Van Putten SHSS girls looking for improvement A less than desirable showing in the last two tournaments has given the Senior girls some incen- tive to better their performance in the Kootenay Invitational this Thursday at 7 p.m.. This past weekend they were in Kelowna for the Spring Valley toumey in which they managed an 11th place finish. "Tt was a learning experience, these girls are going to need a lot of leaming before they can move on,"Coach Tamara Gamborski said. The girls were in the J.L Crowe volleyball tour- nament in Trail Oct. 31 come.” The girls on the team realized a couple of things during the tournament. “They realized they were moving really slowly and they were not moving to the ball,” Gamborski said. “They have to start trusting that their own players will get the ball and set up the next shot.” This confidence and trust has to build up over time. The team is made up of almost all rookies. Most of the players are only in grade 10 so once they play together longer they will all improve. “They have very good potential for the years to Skating Club brings home medals His a a a Se OOK? ee BON SE BS LE.

On Nov. 24, the society will vote to approve a decision to approach the Regional District with a referendum question that could be included in the 1993 municipal elections. "We want to ask the society members, ‘Do we go to a referen- dum?"” said alderman Gerry Paul, a spokesman for the society's executive. Paul said the time is right to ask its membership, which numbers over 400, on approving the next step towards bringing a year- round health facility to the area. "The loan on Greater Trail Community Centre comes com- pleted this year,” said Paul. “This means money that was going to Tepay the loan on the community centre could now be directed towards the aquatic centre.” However, Paul acknowledged there are other considerations for the taxpayers. He pointed to the tax situation with Cominco and the Children’s De: P Centre's $3-mill fund drive, “There is lots of demand for other things,” he said, but added that there's a growing number of people who would like to see a facility that would include an aer- obics centre, weight centre, steam baths, whirlpools and, of course, a year-round swimming facility. "There is a great deal of public support,” he said The drive to bring an aquatic centre to Trail has been in the works since the late 1980s. The Proposed site would be where the current Butler Park pool is located in East Trail. Paul expalined that sooner or later the current pool would need an expensive overhaul and offers the aquatic centre as a better use for the taxpayer dollar. He said the Nov. 24 meeting, which begins at 7 p.m. in the Recital Room at the Greater Trail Community Centre, will feature a SHSS and J.L. Crowe set for showdown TRAIL TIMES It’s a three-step process and the J.L. Crowe Hawkettes vol- leyball team is prepared to take the second step tonight in their quest for a shot at the provincial title. This first step was to assem- ble a team that had a legitimate shot at winning. That was done as the team rang up an impressive regular season that featured two tour- nament wins, one second place finish and reaching the play- offs in their other three out- ings. The second step comes tonight for Don Tingley’s crew as they travel to Castlegar to bat- tle the Stanley Humphires Sec- ondary School Rockettes in a best-of-five showdown for the right to go to the provincials in Langley. "They've got some injuries right now,” said Tingley after SHSS had finished in last place at the Crowe tournament. “But they are a very well coached team and they move the ball around well.” Tingley said his team has been gearing up for this match all season but the team goal is beyond this and lies at the provincials. Game time tonight is 7 p.m. at the SHSS gym and Tingley said his team will be in for a tough game in front of the Rockettes ardent fans. “They make a lot of noise in He also added the meeting is open t6 the public but for those who wish to cast a vote supporting the referendum proposal, they nfdst become a member of the society. The $2 memberships will be available at the meeting. Paul said the 1993 municipal elections would be the second chance for the society to get apprroval. "The society was very close when the junior high school was originally renovated,” he said. Tax dollars went to the renova- tion of the school which is now the community centre. Paul is hoping the society and in turn the Regional District, gives the people of Trail, Fruit- vale and Rossland an opportunity to voice their opinion on the cen- tre. "They have to hear from peo- ple, what the people want,” he said. “It's going to be a sizeable commitment of time and money.” Paul also said the idea of an aquatic centre is not to undermine local pools in existence in Beaver Valley, Warfield and Rossland. "That's not our intention. That's a decision that will be left to the people and politicians of that area. "Our conern is to replace the existing Butler Park Pool.” Women's curling teams needed for Trail bonspiel TRAIL TIMES The annual Silver Pom Pom bonspiel is fast approaching and a familiar trend is developing as the first draw on Nov. 20 approaches. With the men's side already filled up, the organizers are still awaiting more women's teams to come forward and register. However, organizer Gerrie Brown isn't concerned. "Women tend to enter later than the men,” said Brown She explained that there are many factors that women have to finalize before they can commit toa L of curl- "This could be the last chance to hear one of the best bands around,” said Brown.

The winners will also get first crack at over $8,000 in prizes up for grabs. "Ninety-nine per cent of the prizes have been purchased local ly,” said Brown. On Friday and Saturday curlers as well as the public will also get a chance to listen to one of the best bands available in the West Kootenays. Brown said the group Men In Motion could be making their last appearance at the Pom Pom. It's not becasue the band hasn't entertained audiences, but rather because their grow- ing popularity south of the bor. der as made their fee grow just as quickly “Graff had a hell of a couple of games. He had a big game with a hat trick and an assist against Nelson on Friday. Saturday against Spokane he added another goal and one assist."
