Wash SPONSORED BY: Rainier Brewing, Tripp Distributing NORTHPORT SPORTS SELKIRK COLLEGE By CasNews Staff MEN'S SOCCER Coach and college athletic director Rob Johnson says he has to be realistic when it comes to playing soc- cer in the B.C, Colleges Athletic Association. Realistically, after an 0-8 season last year, the team can’t do anything but improve. Still, when the competition is teams from the Lower Mainland, ‘‘where soccer is everything,’’ says Johnson, winning every game can’t be the main goal of a Selkirk College team. With that in mind, Johnson's looking at every game as a game in- side a game, On the surface, there’s the score — which, considering the competition, Selkirk will tend to be on the wrong end of. Under the surface, where things like competitiveness, teamwork and rising to the challenge are lurking, is what Johnson is most concerned with. “We have a lot of goals in our athletic program that aren't related to the scoreboard and I think there’s a lot of value we can derive from a soc- cer program at Selkirk College, even if we don’t win as many games as we'd like to,”’ said Johnson. Of course Johnson, who won't tolerate negative thinking or talk, doesn’t plan for his team to go out and get wasted every game. He wants improvement from last year and says all it takes is working together. **We may not have the most skilled team on the field, but if we work together as a team we can do well or better than more-skilled teams."” As for talent, Johnson isn’t bereft. Among returners is provincia] all-star last season Andy Lefurgey, whom Johnson calls ‘‘a fearless defender.’” Also back are Kevin Hearne, Luigi Pollio, Vahid Pourmokhtari, James Waddell, Eric Bourdon and Bryan Settle. With that experience, Johnson says it will be the strongest team the college has ,assembled in his three years there. But making the provincial playoffs probably isn’t on this team’s agenda. MEN'S VOLLEYBALL Talk about a tough act to follow. For the last two- years, the Paul Brown, and a two-time provincial all- ‘star in Perra. So how does Fraser follow up on what Thiessen — himself a two-time BCAA coach of the year — did? “You don’t follow up Paul Thiessen,” said” Fraser, who as a teacher at L.V. Rogers high school in Nelson, is smart enough to know when not to get cocky. “I told the guys right off, we're starting from zero. We're starting over,” he said. In not trying to live up to the past, Fraser hopes to take the pressure off his players and himself, but says he’s not trying to lower expectations. “It takes time to build a program. We have the talent base in this area that we should be winning the provin- cials every year,"” he said. ‘It's my job to go out and find that talent and bring it here, and I’m looking for- ward to that job.” But with the talent in camp, which began at the college last week, Fraser says rebuilding isn’t the right word for what he’s doing. Al. Tenta and Scott Sommerville lead the list of returners while David Norman comes for his’ second year from the Medicine Hat College team. Fraser says with some talented rookies and a few more bodies to fill the holes, the team has potential. And if they win a few games and stay healthy until Christmas, Fraser gets a nice present in the form of Theo Friml! and Scott Podovelnikoff, who are both out of the lineup until December because of academic reasons and are players Fraser calls among the best on the team. The goal isn’t to take the BCAA by storm and win going away like the Saints have done for the last two years. The goal this year is simpler. “We want to finish top four provincially. Then you’re in place to win the B.C. title and who knows? We may surprise some teams out there."’ WOMEN'S VOLLEYBALL The problem with the women’s team at Selkirk last year wasn’t lack of talent or coaching — it was lack of commitment from the players. Early in the season last: year, it seemed as though some players had joined the team for the travel and Thi hed men’s team has been number one in the province and placed in the top eight nationally. This year, Thiessen’s gone and Gerry Fraser inherits that winning tradition — and not much more. Most of the team’s best players, such as Wes Wishlow, his twin brother Jason, and Bud Brown, have all gone on to university, and Mike Perra is coaching the Saints women’s team. What Fraser has lost in those four players is a two-time All- Canadian in Wes Wishlow, provincial all-stars in Jason Wishlow and not yball. And a dismal early season record reflected that. Things picked up in the second half for the women's team under coach Cheryl Thiessen, but it wasn’t enough to get them into the provincial playof- fs This season the team has a new coach, former Saints star Mike Perra, and attitude was the first thing he wanted to get straight with his team when he met the players last week. “I told them straight out that if you're here to go shopping, you’ re \ y September 15,1990 CastlegarNews 83 Watchdog agency unveils list of GST effects OTTAWA (CP) — A hamburger, french fries and drink would cost 20 cents mofe after the new seven per cent federal sales tax kicks in Jan. 1. Monthly home hydro bills would rise an average $5.61, a compact car Would drop by $512.29 and a VCR by $3.60. All these predictions came from the GST Consumer Information Office, an independent price watch- dog agency created by cabinet order earlier this year. Chairman Nickolas Murray presen- ted a six-page before-and-after price list that includes dozens of typical purchases such as groceries, clothing and footwear, household appliances, airline and train fares, sporting goods and cosmetics. But the list — intended to help bewildered consumers sort their way through changing taxes over the next year — was immediately attacked by the Retail Council of Canada as misleading. “This list could well confuse and mislead consumers and provoke arguments between customers and retailers who are comparing real Prices to an artificial number in a government publication,”’ Alasdair McKichan, retail council president, said in a statement. “The key list sets out changes calculated to a tenth of a per cent, based on the effects of taxation alone. Here, it ignores all the other in- flationary-deflationary influences, many of which will have much greater impact on price levels than the GST." The new tax, which will cover most goods and services, is to replace the existing 13.5 per cent tax on manufac- tured goods. Predicting prices under the GST is far from a simple subtraction of seven from 13.5. That’s partly because the 13.5 per cent manufacturer's tax is mow charged on wholesale prices, while the GST will hit retail prices — including markups than can stretch as high as 100 per cent for furniture, for instance. — Also, not all manufactured goods are taxed at the 13.5 rate. Some im- Ported goods are exempt, while other goods can be taxed at different rates, such as nine per cent for construction And ts are taxed at various rates, making it difficult to calculate tax on the whole item. “We'll be watching to-make sure that the GST_is_not used to hide agen¢y will ask them “to correct the situation,’ he said. Murray reiterated that bad publicity is the strongest weapon against firms trying to take advantage of the tax. He said-he’s prepared to publicly identify those companies. The agency, scheduled to close one year after the tax is imposed, has been attacked by opposition parties and some labor groups because it has no legal power to order companies to roll back price increases. Russ MacLellan, Liberal critic for consumer affairs, called” thé infor- mation office ‘‘nothing more than an price oppor- tunistic_pricing as we call it,”’-said Murray. If manufacturers or retailers appear to be increasing prices unduly, the of the minister of finance."’ NDP MP Phil Edmonston, referring to the agency’s budget, said taxpayers are essentially paying $19 million for a telephone service. Samples of changes OTTAWA (CP) — The independent agency which will monitor price changes following implementation of the new seven per cent federal sales tax Jan. | released a sample list of price changes. Here are some price changes to be expected when the seven per cent GST replaces the current 13.5 per cent federal tax on manufactured goods: Case of 12 bottles of beer: $13 (-$0.23 cents). Man’s business suit: $270 ( + $16.58). Girt’s snowsuit: $65 ( + $4.00). Dining.room furniture (seven pieces): $3,200 (-$66.56). Refrigerator: $1,050 (-$12.24). House paint (four litres): $22 (-$0.52). Full-size car: $27,500 (-$1 006.66). Train fare Montreal-Toronto return: $130 ( + $6.15). Basic monthly home telephone service: $11.50 ( + $0.65). 20-inch color TV set: $640 (-$6.40). Cablevision monthly rate: $20 (-$0.87). Shampoo: $3.50 (-$0.01). Health club annual membership fee: $370 ( + $21.66).

And if you’re here for leisure and for fun you're in the wrong place. “One lady left, she knew righ away this wasn’t for her, and that’s what I want. I want to make sure anybody who’s there wants to be there.”” Perra made it clear to his players that fun and leisure will be part of the program, but so will discipline, hard work and lots of practise. And so far, he says, the response from the team has pleased him. really going to be “I was surprised. They CosNews photo by Ed Mills all seem to be sincere."’ As for goals, Perra says he just wants to make the provincials — which means top four in the league — and if he gets there then he'll start looking further than that. “T think it’s important to set a goal that’s reasonable, and making the Provincials is realistic,’’ he said.

It would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around his neck than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin! Sb wat- ch yourselves "" (V1-3a) That sounds like very harsh judgment. But Christ our Lord was well aware that the example set by parents and adiilts in general has a very great influence on the lives of children as they grow up. So he is saying, ‘*Makesure-your- example does not lead children in the wrong direction.” Obviously it is better to send children to Sunday School than not to have them attend at all. It is possible they will find a significant adult there that they will take for an example, and so continue to live their lives by the moral and spiritual values of the Christian faith. But the chances are far more likely that when they get to be teenagers they will drop out altogether. It is only natural for them to reason that if their parents do not attend Sunday School and church, it certainly can’t be very important Parents who don’t want their children to curse and swear should set an example of wholesome conver- sation. If they feel it is not good for their child to cheat or steal, or smoke, or drink intoxicating beverages, then they ought to set the proper example. As for religious training and church attendance, not everyone will agree that this is desirable and worthwhile, but if the parents want their children to absorb these values and live by them, then they ought to set the example and participate on a regular basis. Otherwise your actions will say to the child that religious faith and values are not important. So, why not decide to give your children the best possible opportunity to build a strong spiritual foundation for their lives? "EYAL VA TURE.
