Ranford, acquired last week from the Boston Bruins, faced 44 shots in his first NHL start of the season. He had to be sensational at times to hold off the determined Canucks, who ended a club record nine straight defeats with the deadlock. RANGERS 4 CAPITALS 2 LANDOVER, Md.

TITLE By BRENDAN NAGLE Staff Writer ‘Stanley Humphries secondary school will be the site for the B.C. girls single A basketball championships starting Wednesday. The 16-team tournament will feature the top schools from around the province. “Numerous girls competing in this tournament have been to provincial camps and have played for top-notch provincial teams,” said SHSS teacher Doug Hickey. “Jenny Rezansoff and Pam Braun (of the SHSS squad) have gone to provincial select try-out camps to improve their already evident skills.” Senior girls coach Jack Closkey was putting his charges to the test Thursday night in the SHSS gym ina practice session for the tournament. The coach was preparing the girls for the tournament with a hard physical practice ied with loud “Don't give them the color (key),” he yelled during a demanding two-on-two drill. “This is your bedroom, they're going to come in and steal your purse.” The yelling and support is all part of Closkey’s approach to coaching the squad, which won the West Kootenay single A girls’ title last week. He's confident his charges can do well in the tournament. “There are more kids playing well,” Closkey said during a short break in the hour-long practice. “Things are looking good.” His players share his enthusiasm and positive outlook going into this week's tournament. “We have a lot of confidence and we want to do well UP ANDIN...Pam Braun of the Stanley Humphries Rockettes gets it right during practice this week. Team is getting ready for provincial championships hosted by SHSS which begin Wednesday. CosNews Photo so I think we will,” said forward Jenny Rezansoff. “I think we're going to have a lot of support,” she said of the home court tourney. The teams include K.L.O. of Kelowna, Brentwood College from Vancouver Island, Prince George College, Grand Forks, Lord Byng of Vancouver, Nechako Valley from Vanderhoof, Lambrick Park from Victoria, Smithers, Aldergrove, Invermere, Aggasiz, Port Hardy from Vancouver Island, Notre Dame from Vancouver, Summerland, St. Ann’s from Kamloops and the host SHSS team. There will be about 250 players and coaches convergingon ‘the-area forthe tournament with many parents showing up as well. The home-court advantage could play a part in the tournament for SHSS, says coach Closkey. Playing at home gives the squad the upper hand because they're not taking a bus to a strange town and staying in a hotel. “It's the team that plays normal that plays well,” Closkey said and added that because the girls were at home things will be normal. “We have a better opportunity to play a good game.” Pam Braun, the 5-foot-11 tall forward for the Rockettes, said she is “excited” about playing the tourna ment at home and is looking forward to deing well. Guard Kim Lees said she’s “pretty nervous, but I'm preparing myself mentally for it.” She said she's practicing harder now for the tourney and is focusing on this week. “I think we'll do well,” she said. The Rockettes take on the tough St. Ann's Academy squad in their first game Wednesday night at 9 p.m. If the Rockettes win their first game against the Kamloops team they automatically place in the top eight finishers. “I'm pretty nervous,” said guard Judy Closkey. “But I think we can do OK.” There will be eight games a day for the duration of the four-day tournament and passes good for the entire event can be purchased for $5. The opening ceremonies are in the SHSS gym at 8:40 p-m., just before SHSS takes on St. Ann's in their first game John Charters... Reflections & recollections HERITAGE: WHAT DOES FUTURE HOLD? Editor's note: This Is the conclusion of a three- port rt on the state of Castlegar's two sites: Zuckerberg Island chapel house and Castlegar railway station. ‘The purpose of Heritage Week is to broaden and heighten the publie’s understanding and appreciation of their heritage and in the case of Castlegar to establish a public awareness for the needs of a heritage society. Both the chapel house and the rail station were opened Feb. 15-21, to the public. On the basis of both attendance and the numbers of artifacts donated and loaned, it can be considered an outstanding success. Castlegar has taken another major step towards its future as a heritage/tourist centre. Nonetheless, Ben- jamin Franklin's grim pun at the time of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 is a still valid reminder we must all hang together (ie. work in union or assuredly we'll all hang (by the neck) separately. And what of the future — immediate and more remote? First, again the island. Access is a municipal responsibility. Since the bridge was turned over to the city in 1983 and despite the increasingly heavy traffic and tourist interest, it has had no maintenance. The causeway is a mess and is cut off for periods of the year. Both need priority attention, Snow clearance and emergency services, however, have been good. The park is an ongoing situation. Changes in the river and the rapid spread of acacia and poison ivy call for regular grooming, as to path maintenance, clearing of debris, and general and garden maintenance and general grooming. The fence on the kukuli is to be completed and a tree planting program continued. The Castlegar and District Development Board has offered 40 man hours for clearing and landscaping. Volunteer and student summer labor will be needed to keep ahead of normal attrition. The chapel house is nearing completion and a more adequate heating system and pipe protection was installed on an emergency during the cold snap in November. It still needs to have the floors sanded (contract) and the gingerbread about the windows (day labor?) and the chimney repaired (contract). Some minor repairs are needed on the grave marker and stump woman (volunteer). The log house needs some replace- ments in one wall and a door (volunteer/day labor). In the longer term, I suggest that the house needs some kind of umbrella spray to prevent the type of fire we have already had. The park is an educational asset, a fact largely ignored at the official level, and though local schools are beginning to use it as an outdoor classroom and ecocentre it has great bili also as an m and arch- ecological studies base. Tentative efforts at obtaining the services of a ined archeologist have so far been without succer THE TRAIN STATION Having realized our primary objective, that of securing intact the oldest and most historic of Castlegar's heritage buildings, the next was to establish the fact firmly in the public consciousness. This has also been done, first by a necessary blitz clean-up of the site and then a high-profile, very successful Heritage Week display prepared and presented by the Heritage Week sub-committee, led by Dr. Bill Sloan. The next phase will be under the direction of the Train Station subcommittee and restoration superin- tendent Alex Lutz and will include: . © Construction of a station platform using some of the grant funds provided by the British Columbia Heritage Trust, and lumber generously donated by Westar Timber Ltd. and volunteer labor. e Reshingling the roof, insulating the building and sealing it against heat loss. The main floor of the building is seen presently as a museum of transportation for local hefitage, and to be developed as such, with the upper floor developed for other purposes. The publication of two stories on Zuckerberg Island and the chapel house in English and in Russian trans- lation — particularly the Beautiful British Columbia magazine — story together with the wide dissemination of the Zuckerberg Island Heritage Park brochure, as well as the strong support of the local media, has generated thousands of dollars of free publicity to attract tourists to the area. It is now time for the chamber of commerce with full support from the city and business interests to exploit this initiative and the almost limitless tourist potential. A representative for the chamber in December made the suggestion that satellite tourist information centres be established at both the station and chapel house using the government-sponsored student training program. On a broader front, there is a need to establish a heritage society to access government and foundation heritage funds, to coordinate and promote the heritage concept in Castlegar and district and help realize the Ministry of Tourism, Re ion and Culture’s i heritage/tourism drive. The British Columbia Heritage Trust directors during their visit here in late October, visited a number of heritage sites in Castlegar and elsehwere in the area and were most enthusiastic and supportive. The rest is up to the citizens and official bodies of this area and Shakes- peare, as usual, had something pertinent to say about it: “There is a tide in the affairs of men Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune, Omitted, all the voyage of their life Is bound in shadows and in miseries.” FERRARO’S isfaction is our main concern plus many more low prices throughout our store * Downtown * Castleaird Plaza USTOMER PRECIATION DAY Weekend Wrap-up ELECTION OF NEW OFFICERS CASTLEGAR & AREA RECREATION DEPARTMENT Is now Accepting Applications for LIFEGUARDS / INSTRUCTORS <>, Ssse - oF 7 ares ae — Dealer Enquiries Invited HANDY CONSTRUCTION LTD.
