Views from Recreation
Director Pat Metge

Well, this is the week that
; most of our recreation courses
will be getting underway.
$ $ Whether it be a gruelling
Y period of exercise or the more
relaxing intrigue of crocheting,
2 hope you have registered for
he course of your choice.
From all indications, this
ession looks like it will have
ne of the highest attendance
ates ever.
The . majority of our
courses have ful

we will be offering a special
morning class which will be
held on Fridays,

Hunter training is another
course which is still seeking
registrations. This course is a
requirement before persons
may obtain their initial B.C.
hunting license, Not only does
it emphasize gun control, but
also considers many facets of
wildlife migration and survival,

For the ladies and the

; Fegistrations, however, there
{are still a few courses that have

j vacancies that may be filled.
i Adult art is one class that
“3 $ still has a number of openings,

Sources, and this should add to
‘Sthe novelty and enjoyment of
. tthe class,

: It should be remembered
that this class is open to all
tlevels of skills and the course
soutline always depends ori the
‘experience of the people en-
trolled.

“) Forthe youngster, there is
‘still room in the badminton

“teourse at Twin Rivers School.
“This course provided children
with instruction, as well as
‘allowing for game situations.

2 The crocheting class under
» the supervision of Leona Hor-
“vath has always been a
standard course offered. Once
again Leona will be supplying
her talents on Wednesday
evenings at Woodland Park.

This class is great for all
persons interested in cro-
cheting, as it allows partici-
pants to exchange’ ideas and
pick up new and varied skills.
Of course, for the beginner
there is plenty of time to learn
all the basic stitches.

Even though spring and
summer feel and seem a long
way off and golf really isn't on
our minds, local golf pro Denny
McArthur will be offering
lessons starting next Thursday.
Actually, the lessons should
end just as the first balls will be
driven our at the course. These
lessons should truly give you
the jump on all your competi-
tors.

For those persons unable
to attend the evening session,

teens ii d in dance and

two classes. First, there is a
jazz movement class for teens

Castlegar
Rebels Take. :.

Two Games’

Defenseman Brian Verigin
‘ot the Castlegar Rebels scored
five goals last Thursday on
home ice, leading his team to a
9-5 victory over the Nelaon
Junior Maple Leafs.

The penalty-prone game

‘ saw the Nelson goalie thrown

out of play, resultitig from an
incident in which he crossed;the
blue line to tangle with one of
the Rebels,

Fans and team members
alike were disappointed: With
the poor officiating resulting in

numerous yelays throughout ~

the. game. Apparently, the
referets are assigned by

league, and are not personally >’

chosen by the teams them-
selves,

On Saturday, the Rebels
met the Cranbrook Colts!\in
Castlegar and emerged on top
in clean, fast hockey action;:

Tom Connatty opened the
scoring for the Rebels assisted
by: Kevin Wilson and Ken
Gorkoff. Cranbrook answered
with a goal from Jeff Boychuck,
assisted by David Doris and
Evan Jones. Castlegar’s secoid
goal came from Geoff Yule, on

an assist from Gord Pace ‘and ‘

Brian Verigin.

Second period goals were
scored by Steve Bozek from
Tom Connatty, and by Gord
Pace from Steve Bozek. Crah-
brook’s second goa! came from

Kim Burston, assisted by Eldon -. °

Wales and Mike Thouret.

The Rebels scored two un-
answered goals ‘during the
third period to end the game
with a 6-2 score. Goal-getters
were Steve Bozek, assisted by
Ed Smith and Ken Schisler and
Schisler from Geoff Yule and
Tom Connatty.

“Mike Carol of. Cranbrook
made 21 saves on goal, while
Jerry Dyck of Castlegar
blocked 42. Twenty-one penal-
ties were shared by the two
teams; 10 going to Castlegar
and 11 to Cranbrook.

night.
