SUN STAFF PHOTO /Jeff Gabert Help for teachers closer than ever Submitted _ British Columbia teachers can now be put ini touch with experienced practitioners to : discuss issues related to the integration of ' students with special needs through a new | 1-800-support line announced by Education Minister Art Charbonneau today. i _“This toll-free service will allow teachers, 's and hy to have quick access to experience’ and advice & they work through the ongoing chal- lenges of inclusion,” said Charbonneau. “Through this service, teachers and { administrators will be able to get the most ‘corrent guidelines and strategies to help POLLEV, HEADCQUARTER them in the integration of students with spe- cial needs.” The telephone service is provided and funded by the Ministry of Education through a contract with the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation (BCTF). BCTF President Alice McQuade is pleased with the cooperation that resulted in this support service “Teachers are working hard to meet the needs of every child. They will appreciate being able to get assistance with things like behavior management strategies, instruc- tional approaches and curricular adapta- tions. The students will be the primary beneficiaries,” said McQuade The project arose from recommendation s RD of the Ministry of Education's recent review of special education. The Special Education Advisory Committee, which assisted the Ministry in the review recognized that inclusion of students with special needs often requires immediate support as well as long-range ministry policies.

Jeff Gabert 365-5579 WEDNESD Road warriors Rebels return from northern swing with first place and two victories PA —___.| ee po Long bus trips are standard in ,the lower ranks of the hockey “world. They are usually dreaded by every single person from the bus driver to the stick boy. The only one that really likes them is the best poker player who has a prime opportunity to supplement his income. Of course these trips aren't all bad. They are a perfect nity to teach hockey players all about the science of chemistry and they always end up bringing back a whole duffle bag full of colorful stories - win or lose. The Castlegar Rebels had one of those bonding road trips with lots of stories last weekend and they came back with two wins and four points to boot. Before embarking on their three city swing in the North Division, the Rebels made a stop in Rossland on October 17 for an uncharacter- istic Tuesday night game against the Warriors. As usual, the game was penal- ty filled and highly volatile but the Rebels managed to win 5-4 and gain first place before they left the Koote-, nays for the per- ilous North. Their first game was in Revelstoke on Friday and they were eager to stretch their legs after the long bus trip. the game ended up being an old fashioned shootout with both teams playing a clean and fas},game. The game only jtook two ;hours and the referee ‘called only four penalties all night. The score reflected the wide open play and when the ice was cleared for the final time, the Rebels walked away with a 9-7 win. The Rebels were up 8-4 going into the third period but held on, despite giving up three goals in the final frame. “Tt was a pretty good effort by everyone,” said Rebel captain Todd Doyle. “Everyone was up for the game. Revelstoke played good, but we were in it right until the end.” Starting a long road trip with a win is a good sign and a good indicator of things to come. After seeing a five goal second period in Revelstoke, Rebels Head Coach Garry Sauer expected big things in their next stop at Columbia Valley. Columbia Valley is certainly one of the teams to be reckoned with in the KIJHL so far this year and the Rebels were eager to Prove they could handle every- thing the Rockies threw at them. The game was an extremely close contest that went down to the final minutes, but the Rockies to steal a 4-3 win. “I thought our team played well,” said Sauer. “We had a lot of scoring chances but we didn’t capitalize on them. We also didn’t get any help from the officiating.” The men in the striped shirts penal- ized the Rebels to the tune of 38 minutes while Columbia Val- ley got off with only 20. The discrepan- cy certainly spoke to the nature of the game, but many felt it was odd that a team which had taken only two penalties the night before was suddenly given over 15 just one day later, The loss and the highway trav- el took its toll as the team made their final stop in Golden to meet the Rockets. But despite playing their third game in as many days, the Rebels responded with a strong effort and a shootout win. The game was tied at three NORTH TEAMS Sicamous Eagles 12 Columbia Valley Rockies 13 North Okanagan Kings 10 Golden Jr. Rockets 12 Revelstoke Grizzlies T POINTS 22 20 SOUTH GP TEAMS CASTLEGAR REBELS 12 Rossland Warriors 13 G.F.

Sauer pulled Kooznetsoff as soon as possible and Mike Hunter pulled the trigger on a goal with only 17 seconds left to send the game into overtime. The five minute overtime peri- od went by without anyone scor- ing and the game was sent into a shootout. Both goaltenders played superb in the first five man shootout keeping the shooters to one goal apiece. That meant sudden death. The first two shooters both scored and that left Rebels sharp shooter Jesse Oldham facing for- 0 0 0 12 1 0 T Rockies next attempt and the Rebels fled Golden and the North Division with two hard fought victories. The newly assembled line of Nino DaCosta at centre with Old- ham and Doyle on the wings was the difference for the Rebels on the weekend as they scored 17 Points over the three games. Old- ham especially shone as he sup- plemented his shootout winner in Golden with a natural hat trick in the second period. Sauer was also pleased with the improved play of his defence. “We took six defensemen and all of the defence played well over the weekend.” said Sauer. “There is still alot of work to do but they've come along nicely. We ve finally got some good mer Rebel goaltender Richie Kohorst. Kohorst was cut from the Rebels in training camp this year and he clearly had some- thing to prove. But stopping the moves of Oldham is certainly not elementary and Kohorst seemed helpless as “Oldy” undressed him like an Egyptian veiled dancer. Kooznetsoff stopped the Zs together and they seem to be working out.” The Rebels will next see action this Friday and Saturday at the Castlegar Recreation Complex where they play Beaver Valley and Rossland respectively. Both teams will be looking to upset the Rebels who have claimed top spot in the KIHL’s South Division. Castlegar skaters in for a change JEFF GABERT Sun Sports Castlegar is a nice place to visit, but it seems that everybody just wants to live here. That is certainly the case for Castlegar’s newest residents who also happen to be the newest additions to the Castlegar Figure Skating Club's coaching staff. Jennifer Zandvliet and Jen- nifer Chant are those two addi- tions and they are ready and willing to do their best in helping Castlegar skaters ‘recon-figure’ the skating balance of power in the Kootenay region. Zandvlict knows this area pretty well after living and skat- ing in Oliver in her childhood. After that, she went profession- al and spent three years travel- ling around the world with Walt Disney’s World on Ice. When she finished her world foray, she became a coach and has been coaching the past few years in the Okanagan, Ross- land and Cranbrook. Zandviiet has seen it all in her 21 years in skating and hopes she can use her experiences to benefit skaters in both Castlegar and Nelson. “I enjoy teaching skating and it’s not like work to me,” said Zandviiet. “I like helping kids reach their hopes and dreams. T’ve been to three different clubs and this is my fourth and I find you learn a little something dif- ferent in each club. One of the big things is you learn how to deal with the politics of skating.” Zandviiet moved to Castlegar with her husband who is original- ly from Castlegar. She excited about working with the young figure skating club and hopes for a successful campaign. Chaat is also hoping for a suc- cessful year and was actually drawn to the Castlegar Skating Club because of its small size. “I wanted to come out because I wanted to work in a small city,” said Chant. “This is my first year in coaching and I plan to make a career out of it. Castlegar is a great place to start.” Chant has been skating for 20 years and has an impressive resume to go along with it. She competed for ten years fot the Racquet Club of Victoria and the North Shore Winter Club of Van- couver. She also competed nation- ally for four years and is a former B.C. Senior Ladies Champion. After her competitive career, she, like Zandvliet, travelled the world gathering life experiences. She eventually ended up in New York where she joined John Curry’s Ice Theatre of New York for four years. As a member of the theatre group she was part of staging shows in Rockefeller Centre and Central Park. But now she is back in B.C.’ and ready to give Castlegar kids some of her expertise. “I love kids and it's a great opportunity to start coaching kids who are just starting to bloom,” said Chant. “It’s great to coach kids in their formative years and I think that my many experiences will be an asset the Castlegar Skating Club.” Chant got a first hand look at the job ahead for her last week- end as the club sent six skaters to compete in Trail. The Trail com- petition held to pick the skaters who would be eligible to compete in the B.C. Winter Games. Jennifer Datchkoff, Dawn Hadikin, Danielle Jmieff, Megan Van Vliet, Nicole Hackett and Vanessa Kastrukoff all well for the Castlegar club but only Datchkoff cracked the B.C. Games line-up. It seems Chant and Zandvliet will have their Why don't you just come out and say it! Heather Sheppard of Castlegar shows off her best mime imita- tion during a competition in Trail last weekend.

Conroy Announces Ski Bucks The Castlegar Nordic Ski Club has received approval of a $3,608 BC 21 Community award to help purchase a snowmobile and track-setter.
