- 3 SS tlegar News october 30, 1985 By CHERYL CALDERBANK Staff Writer For the past.13 years, the Children's Development Centre in Trail has been providing physiotherapy services to children in the Castlegar, Trail, Grand Forks dnd Creston areas. i * ‘The centre is operated by the West Kootenay. Cerebral Palsy’ Association. and is oné of 13: agencies funded by the Castlegar United Way. The Children’s Development Centre serves children from birth to 19 years of age, says Chris. Weishaypt, secretary at the centre. These children have many different problems. They may-be developmentally delayed, physically delayed or emotionally delayed. , i Problems include muscle’ delays, muscular dystro- phy; cerebral palsy and spina bifida. ¢ i: The centre currently treats 22 children in Castlegar. The therapist is Castlegar's Sandra Pearson, who works three days a week. Last year a therapist travelled to Castlegar twice a week for treatments to 35 children at Hobbit Hill Daycare Centre, Twin Rivers, Silver Birch and Kinnaird Junior Secondary Schools, as well as the health unit, according to executive director Lillian Michallik. If the children could not -be seen in these facilities, home visits were done. The therapist also consulted with doctors, teachers, public health-nurses and parents. Michaellik notes that there are many aspects to be considered when a child is referred to the centre. “We not only consult with area professionals, but we reports,” she says. “Many hours are also. spent in our office dealing ‘with the paperwork.” But times are getting tougher. The centre's budget has not increased in the last three years. “Due to increased costs, we have had to cut back one of our full-time therapists to three days per week,” she says. Two of those days are for Castlegar. Centre helps kids also consult with Vancouver professionals by phone and - The estimated costs for 1984-85. services to Castlegar are $14,126. The centre's annual budget is $250,000, says Michallik. The centre receives $2,000 from the Castlegar | Way and $15,000 from the Trail United Way. The is received through donations from. different organizations. The centre raises about $30,000 itself/and has held a telethon for the past three years on. Shaw. Cable. Last year the telethon raised $35,000. The telethon usually takes place in March and Michallik is worried that if the strike at the company doesn't end by that time, the centre will be in financial trouble. i : a The centre also receives $42,000 from the provicnial government. * In addition, the centre also receives funds from the Fruitvale Community Chest. Grand Forks used to donate to the centre, but cut off funding because the centre didn’t provide any canvassers for its area. But Michallik says it is difficult to provide canvassers in all areas. She adds that Grand Forks now is trying to “see what it can provide.” The ‘centre has children from as far away as Cranbrook and’Greenwood for physiotherapy. There are also some children from Nelson. because there is no pediatrics therapist there. = The centre has a staff of 12 people, including two therapists — one full-time and one half-time — as well as four volunteers. The centre currently treats about 92 children. ‘ Some of the children receive therapy. for a short period of time while others are on a long-term basis. The Centre also operates a special needs pre-school. There are 45 special needs children in the pre-school, including some children from Castlegar, says Weishaupt. There is also a ‘parent support group, as well as services of a psychologist, and a pediatrician as medical director.

Yet, despite his production and consistency, Gartner never has been selected to an NHL all-star team. The recognition is long overdue. On Tuesday night, his 26th birthday, Gartner fired three goals to lead the Capitals to a 6-3 victory over St. Louis Blues. Elsewhere, it was: Quebec Nordiques 6, Montreal Canadiens 4; Boston Bruins 6, New Jersey Devils 4; Los Angeles Kings 3, New York Islanders 2; and Hartford Whalers 4, Pittsburgh Penguins 3. Other goal scorers for the Capitals were Dave Christian, Peter Andersson and Al Haworth. Greg Paslawski, Joe Mullen and Doug Gilmour scored for the visiting Blues. Garther, a native of Ottawa who played junior hockey in Niagara Falls, Ont., and a year-in the World Hockey Association before joining the Capitals, has been instrumental in helping Washington to a 4-4-2 record. The Capitals have not lost since a knee injury sidelined all-star defenceman Rod Langway three games ago. “I would certainly hope that we wouldn't fall apart because we lost one hockey player,” said Gartner. NORDIQUES 6 CANADIENS 4 Quebec's. Michel Goulet scored his fifth and sixth goals in only his fifth game after ending a holdout over a contract dispute. It was the Nordiques’ eighth win in 10 starts. “I'm happy with my_ play,’ said.Goulet, just now rounding into shape after missing training camp.-“I'm starting to skate better.” Dale Hunter, Mike Eagles, Paul Gillis and Mario Marois also scored for the home team. Serge Boisvert, -Steve Rooney, Tom Kurvers and Guy Carbonneau replied for Montreal. . BRUINS 6 DEVILS 4 Kraig Nienhuis beat New Jersey goaltender Chico Resch with a high wrist shot from 35 feet with 4:32 remaining and Nevin Markwart scored his second goal of the final period into an empty net with one second left to give visiting Boston its sixth-win in nine starts. Mike Thelven, Ken Linseman and Charlie Simmer, with his 11th goal of the season, also scored for the Bruins. Doug Sulliman, Aaron Broten, Kirk Muller and Ted Higgins scored for the Devils. “Linseman was our catalyst,” said Markwart. “I was tired, but I saw him going 2,000 miles an hour up the wing and I just kept skating. 5 “I'm-sure he had to slow down for me.” KINGS 3 ISLANDERS 2 At Uniondale, N.Y., defenceman Garry Galley, a native of Ottawa who played U.S. college hockey at Bowling Green, slapped a shot from the blue line through the legs of screened New York goaltender Billy Smith at ‘lucky shot,” said Galley, in his second year with the 4:28 of the third period to give Los Angeles only its second win in 10 “Ijust happened to be the guy out there that took a Kings. “We needed this one bad. “It lifted a 100-pound weight off our shoulders.” John Tonelli scored both New York goals, while Dave Taylor and Brian MacLellan had the other Los Angeles goals. WHALERS 4 PENGUINS 3 : Rookie defenceman Dana Murzyn and veteran centre Ron Francis scored goals 18 seconds apart in the third period, with Sylvain Turgeon assisting on both, as Hartford broke a three-game losing streak by winning in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh's Dave Hannan and Hartford's Stewart Gavin exchanged early goals and Randy Cunneyworth and Terry Ruskowski put the Penguins up 3-1. The Whalers’ comeback began when Dave Tippett stripped the puck from defenceman Jim Johnson and scored short-handed at 16:31 of the first period. though. Mayors include Ivan Messmer of Penticton.

Maloney makes change TORONTO (CP) — As- sistant coach John Brophy will vacate his position be- hind Toronto’ Maple Leafs’ bench alongside head coach Dan Maloney and work out of the press box during the Maple Leafs’ road trip this week. The Leafs, who have won one and lost seven of their first eight National Hockey League games, play tonight Calgary and Sunday in Ed- monton. ; Maloney explained the coaching move by saying he had intended to equip an in- jured player with-a remote radio connection in the press box, “but it would be unfair to put a player in that posi- tion.” Injured forward Jim Korn will be behind the bench with Maloney and in contact via Ikie-talkie with Brophy, who will relay his observa- tions. Ironically, it was when the Leafs went west last season that Brophy was asked to come down from the press box to assist behind the bench. That midseason game in Vancouver coincided with a turnabout in Leaf fortunes. Toronto played .500 hockey for the next 22 games. Brophy had worked the bench with Maloney since. The Leafs have lost five in a row, blowing leads in the last four. “The toughest part of this to handle is that we've had the lead so many times and come away with nothing,” said Maloney after a workout Tuesday before the team’s flight. “We've got to learn how to hold it.” Maloney ordered the prac- tice end 30 minutes early. “They weren't doing any- thing out there anyway,” he said of the players’ de- meanor. While management has not threatened his job, Maloney can feel.some pressure. “It's up to me to get it going, and to get it going soon,” he said. The Canucks are 4-4-2 un- der new coach Tom Watt and are coming off a good road swing. 1 Hockey League sea- son, coach Tom Watt said Tuesday. 3 The Canucks surrendered the most goals in the league last season, 4.95 a game, but heading into tonight's game against Toronto Maple Leafs at the Pacific Coliseum, Van- couver was sixth in goals against with a 3.54 average. Veteran netminder Rich: ard Brodeur had a 3.66 aver- age and backup Frank Cap- rice a 2.82 record. The penalty-killing was ranked fourth in efficiency. killing off 87 per cent of man- power disadvantages, and the power play also was listed fourth by producing at a 30.9-per-cent rate. “Vancouver, with a 4-4-2 record after returning from a five-game road trip, leads the NHL in power-play goals with 17. “We haven't stressed de- fence that much in the prac- tices so far.” said Watt. “Our defence has played pretty well except for a couple of periods last Sunday in Phil- adelphia when we had to gamble when we were be- hind. “Our goaltending has been ‘good and the special teams have done the job. The team is working hard, so it’s pretty encouraging.” IMPROVED DEFENCE Young defencemen ‘Doug Lidster, 24, Garth Butcher, 22, and J.J. Daigneault, 20, have taken regular shifts during the first month of the season and their maturity has helped well with experi- enced defenders Rick Lanz and _Jiri Bubla. Butcher said Watt and as- sistant coach Jack Mcllhar- gey have’ stressed quick movement of the puck in re ducing the number of turn- overs in the defensive zone. “The coaches have put in a system which has the for- wards coming back and help ing the defence, making it a real team effort in our end,” said Butcher. “The guys back on defence have grown up quite a bit since last season. “Tom Watt really knows the game and he explains things well on the chalk board. I guess it's the old school teacher in him. And, he gets along with the guys just great, He makes every- one feel comfortable in the dressing room.” Watt, 50, named coach of the year in the NHL in 1982 while with Winnipeg Jets, was hired last May after the Canucks fired general man- NICK COLVIN ...twowins ted by Hoodicoff, Hurd and Alexander.
