14 Saturday, November 30, 1991 @ Teacher’s Federation brings unity talks into classroom The British Columbia Teacher’s Federation is devel- oping a teaching resource guide to help teachers engage students in meaningful dis- cussion about the future of Canada, a news release from the federation says. President Ken Novakowski said the guide will provide timely information about the constitutional crisis, and as- sistance in dealing with the complex national unity issue in an objective and education- ally appropriate way. “Our members have said that background information is not available in a concise form without considerable original research,” he said in the release. “They are concerned about the issue, and prepared to in- clude it in their programs, but unable to find the time to do the adequate preparation.” The BCTF has prepared similar packages, including the recent resource guides to the Middle East Crisis, and the First Nations Land Ques- tion. The BCTF Lesson Aids service has more than 800 teacher-produced resources in its catalogue. The Future of Canada unit will be developed by a team of classroom teachers working with school districts and the academic community. The B.C. Social Studies Provincial Specialist Association of the BCTF will co-ordinate the pro- ject, the release said. The unit will be designed to be used as a cross-grade cur- rent events package, or a part of the Social Studies curricu- lum for Grades 5, 10 and 11.A draft will be distributed for re- view in early 1992. More than 20 school dis- tricts have expressed support for the project, some of them ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION Branch #170 To all the merchan ts, organizations, and individuals who supported us with our Remembrance Day campaign and activities.

Shoppers Drug Mart has produced over a half-million breast self-examination show- er cards that will be distribut- ed free by their 665 stores in every province and territory. A Canadian Breast ~Cancer Foundation coin collection box will encourage people to make a contribution to bréast cancer research and education at the same time they are picking up their free shower card. “We want women every- where to know the importance and medical attention, breast cancer can be successfully treated,” Clark said. “Breast 1f- i of breast self. ion and how to conduct it,” said Shop- pers chairman and chief exec- utive officer David Bloom. “Hanging this laminated card over the shower nozzle will provide a ready reminder. to women to practice regular breast self-examination,” he added. Dr. Roy Clark, chairman of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation Medical Advisory Committee said breast cancer is the number one cause of cancer morbidity among wom- en in Canada. “While any premature death is tragic, death caused by breast cancer is doubly so because with early detection ion is easy to do and has proven to save lives.” Michael Doran, president of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, said this is the largest fundraising and public education cam- paign of its kind. Breast self-examination shower cards and Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation collection boxes will be locat- ed at the dispensary, cosmet- ics section and front check out of all Shoppers Drug Mart stores until the end of January, 1992. Funds raised will be used to promote breast cancer awareness and research in Canada.

If you haven't seen the Warlocks, here’s some clues to their identity: ¢They are one of Castlegar’s oldest teams. Their roots stretch back to the early 1960s when an eight-team league — formed by Celgar Pulp Co. to promote friend- ship and camaraderie among its workers — thrived in Castlegar. *They have a long history of success. Last year the Warlocks came second in the provincial championship and they have rep- resented the Kootenays in the B.C. Winter Games three times, dating back to 1979. *They play their game on ice, but they don't wear skates.

Sunday Games Bantam Reps vs. Spokane (Complex, 11 am.) Ifyou haven't figured it out yet, Dave Ward wants to talk to you. Ward, a 53-year-old forklift op- erator at Celgar, is considered the king of the Warlocks, the king of broomball, in Castlegar. And while his kingdom has de- clined from the heady days in the 1960s, he still reigns over a clutch of players who keep the game alive and well here. Ward ’s reputation in the game stems partly from longevity — he’s the only player left from the early days — and partly from his un- abashed promotion of his favorite game. “I don't know of better game than broomball. It’s fun, it’s com- petitive and I don’t know of a bet- ter way to get exercise,” said Ward, who plays defence on the Warlocks. It could be Ward’s attitude about the game and his attitude towards those who don’t know much about it, that has played a key role in keeping it alive here. Talk with him on telephone for more than five minutes and you'll probably get an invite to the rink. “Absolutely, just come out. We always got extra shoes and we al- ways have extra brooms the guys don’t mind lending to a person.” Ward believes if he can get peo- ple to play the game once, they'll be hooked the same as he was 30 years ago. “I just tell people to come out whenever they can. You don't have to come out on a regular basis, come out whenever you can make it and you'll play just the same as a regular player,” said Ward. rlocks Alive and Well News photo by Ed Mills Castlegar Warlocks goaltender Stu McCullagh makes the save while his teammate Bill Plant hovers around the crease looking for a rebound during the team's usual Wednesday-night shinny at the Community Complex Perhaps that attitude has something to do with Castlegar’s reputation as a producer of some of the. province’s best broomball players. Ward’s son Faron is the vice president of the B.C. Broomball Society and president of the Greater Vancouver Broomball League. He was also selected to play for Victoria in the first-ever, World Broomball Championships which attracted 44 teams to the provin- cial capital two weeks ago.
