Even those who survived the horrendous years of World War II were affected for the remainder of their lives. . The young students of Winston Churchhill school do not appreciate the freedom they have in Canada, even though many of them escaped from undemocratic countries. Doreen Moore Castlegar Continued from 7A weekend. Chery! and I decided to stop in Castlegar for hunch before continuing our trip, but our Chevette had other ideas. As we pulled into town and began looking for a restaurant, our car decided that it wanted to rest, right on the main road by the Mohawk station, and that is exactly what it did. All of a sudden we were looking at a three-day delay in our travel plans complete with extra hotel bills and meals, not to mention a whole bunch of labor costs! without carrying cash through Direct Payment at retail stores b, throughout B¢ After pushing the car to the sta- tion and trying everything I knew to get the car to go, all to no avail, I finally came to the conclusion that I needed help. In the mean- time, tried to keep the situ- ation, not (6 mention myself, from ruining the mood of the day. This being the case, we started walking back up the road where we spotted two of the things we desperately needed; a hotel and a nice place to sit down and think about our predicament. That place to sit was Banjo’s Pub. The Versatility of Automated Transactions. Savings Member Addresses Her Card. “My MemberCard says I belong with Kootenay Savings, but it Whats more, Sharon's MemberCard also lets her pay cash | deposit cheques. Transfer funds. And | have to admit on that last trip to the coast, it came in very handy for a lovely new evening dress” Phone or drop by to hear the many ways you can benefit as a Member/Owner of Kootenay Savings . across Canada, and in the United States As we entered the pub, a lady came over to take our order, to which Cheryl responded, “May we please have two bottles of Blue and a mechanic.” The lady happened to be Val Bann and she mentioned to us that she knew a gentleman that might be able to help us out. The person to whom Mrs. Bann was referring to was Darrell Keus. This made my wife and I feel that help would be on the way shortly. Now, realizing that it would only be a matter of time until we could get the car fixed, I decided to go back down to the car and retrieve our luggage. Enter the next set of helping hands. I now needed transportation to the car to get our luggage so I called Castlegar Taxi. I would like to say thank you to Deanna, Rob, and Tony for all their help in try- ing to get the Chevette going, all to no avail. But believe me when I say that your moral support and thoughtful ideas were in them- selves a blessing. When we arrived back at the hotel we were met shortly after by and intro- duced to Mr. Keus by Mr. and Mrs. Bann. After speaking to Darrell about the car and answering his ques- tions about the fuel pump as best I could, we proceeded back to the car once more. Darrell took one look at the engine as we tried to start it and found the problem within five minutes. He also told me that he had the parts to fix it in his shed. We retrieved the parts and Dar- rell had the car running in about five more minutes. Thank you Darrell for being able to help my wife and I as you did. We appreci- ate this very much. If there is a reward for being as helpful and friendly as Mr. Keus was to us, then my wife. and I hope you present it to Darrelk Keus who just happens to be our man of the hour in our time of need.

Jeff Gabert 365-5579 The Castlegar Sun WEDNESDAY, November 16, 1994 Zombie JEFF GABERT _ Sun Sports The expression on the faces of the fans as they left the Crypt last Sunday afternoon told the whole story. What they had expected was an exciting game between two of the best teams in the KUHL, but what transpired was more along the lines of a sequel to “Night of the Living Dead”. The Castlegar Rebels were replaced by zombies in their Sun- day match-up versus the Sica- mous Eagles and although they put up a good fight, the Eagles ended i However, the story of the game was Clearly off the ice. The Sica- mous game was slated for 2 p.m. on Sunday, but the Rebels had just returned to Castlegar 12 hours ear- p.m. but didn't actually begin until 9:30 because the Rebel’s chartered bus broke down four times on the way to Grand Forks. The Grand Forks game didn't end until after midnight and the players arrived back home tired and hungry. They had time only for a short nap before treading to the hallowed halls of the Castle- gar Recreation Complex for their game against Sicamous. Sicamous has proven them- selves to be the class of the league so far this season. They have 18 wins with only a single loss and they were determined to beat their South Division rivals from Castlegar. The Eagles scored first on the slumbering Rebels at the 7 minute mark of the opening peri- od. They added a power play goal shortly afterward to lead by two before Kevin MacGillivray Rebel goaltender Mike Kooznetsoff seemed to be under a constant barrage of shots Sunday afternoon versus the Sicamous Eagles. Some he stopped, four he didn't. out there. If we would have had a normal routine we would have had a much better fight and maybe even beat them. I saw a good team in Sicamous but we can beat them given an equal footing.” The Eagles went back to Sica- mous with a full six points from their southern road trip thanks to the Rebels, Grand Forks and Ross- land. Their South Division carmage will certainly make them hard to catch in the second half of the sea- son. Fortunately they do not leave totally unscathed since they suf- fered some key injuries that may critically affect their future. The Rebels, on the other hand, are still looking good despite the Sicamous loss. Their late game on Saturday may have led to a lack of sleep but it also produced an jponded with an effort for the Rebels. But the Rebels never seemed to wake up and could get no clos- er as the Eagles went on to add another goal in the second period and an empty net goal to end the game. The Rebels lack of enthu- siasm was evident through out the game and most attributed it to the late game in Grand Forks. “It was a big factor,” said Rebels assistant coach and general manager John Phillips. “We didn’t have a whole lot of spark or jump Havin JEFF GABERT Sun S$; It may be called broomball, but there is definitely not a lot of Sweeping going on. Instead you will find a lot of running, sliding, checking and laser shots. Spectators at the Castlegar Recreation Complex saw all that and more last week as 10 teams came to town for the much antici- pated Western Canadian Broom- ball Championships held Nov. 10-12. It was a chance for some of the best teams in Canada to showcase their sport for a com- munity that does not have the opportunity to see a large amount of high-calibre broomball. Six men’s teams and four women's teams from four Provinces battled through a two- day round robin format to be seed- Pp 10-3 win. Add to that the fact that their chief rivals in the South Division, the Rossland Warriors, also lost to Sicamous and things don't seem too bad. “Actually, when you consider it all, I think the players did very well,” said Phillips. “We didn't know what to expect after the bus debacle and I thought they played great.” One player that seems to be coming into his own lately is for- ward Mike Hunter. Hunter led the league in scoring last year and SUN SPORTS PHOTOS / Jeff Gabert — As of November 13th, 1994 — NORTH GP TEAMS Sicamous Eagles 19 Columbia Valley Rockies North Okanagan Kings Golden Jr. Rockets Revelstoke Grizzlies w 18 36 14 28 1 22 6 13 SOuTH TEAMS CASTLEGAR REBELS Rossland Warriors G.F.

It was a physical match charac- terized by hard body checks, a few scuffles and strong defence. The Hawks walked away with a 1-0 win and the Championship after a wicked blast found the mesh late in the second half. The bronze match saw the Saskatoon Knights defeat the Calgary Fixx 1-0 in another defensive struggle. The women’s final also tumed out to be a defensive struggle between the Moose Jaw Panthers and Edmonton Angels.
