We don’t trust you, and we will not be duped any longer. But more significant is that the referendum demonstrated that we do have a voice, and a choice Democracy can be effective.

The other parties have not presented us with a rosier picture—their policies are limited and tied to old ideology What we need is a real change in government in Canada. Today the country, refuses to run any candidates in Quebec nd is allowed to speak on the “National” debate try is not allowed to speak on a “National” debate when two parties who are obviously NOT “National” parties are’?

Does this make sense, that the National Party who supports Canada as a whole coun- some 150 candidates in every province in Canada It 1s expected to have as many as 32 in British Columbia alone, including Kootenay West/Revelstoke, and they are not allowed to speak in the “National” debate The Reform-Party, after forming several Bev Collins years ago, has only one elected candidate in National Party candidate ee THIS WEEKS SPECIALS OCT 6 — OCT 13 EUROPEAN CHEESECAKES All Varieties $2.00 off OPEN SUNDAY -5 pm |_EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 17, 1993 FROZEN VEGETABLES SCALLOPS York + Corn » Green Beans * Mixed a Wrapped in Bacon A yi 2 kg bag 9 Ib.

Thank you also to this community for all of your support and good wishes. To say the trip to Nashville was an incred- ible experience would be an understatement. {t truly is a country music-lovers paradise. I had the opportunity to meet many won- derful people, and experience things that I never thought that I would, and I will forever be grateful to this community and the people in it for helping me to achieve this. Well, it is not the end of September, and I have just spoken with Don Dashiell, the pro- ducer of “Be a Star”, and because so many of you are anxious for the results, here they are “That’s showbiz” The video was sent to New York, where the Executive Producer does all the screen- ing. It is his decision alone as to whether or not the videos are accepted. He bases his decision on a number of factors—if the songs exceed the time limit, or do not meet it; amount of country content; and the list goes on and on. According to one of the niles of the show the songs that are sung at the audition are to be the exact songs sung at the actual taping of the show—there are no retakes at this point in time, and absolutely no exceptions to this rule. Contrary to Don's excitement and enthosi- asm over this audition, although pleased with the first song. the executive producer felt the second song was too popular and overdone as | was the sixth one to sing it on that taping alone. (Who. would have known!) Therefore, I did not secure a spot on the show. As they say—‘*That’s showbiz”. Don was telling me that one man audi- tioned 18 times and finally made it on his 19th try! (1 think we'll send them the videos). Some of the other contestants I met were on their fourth, fifth and sixth audition. They said to me “Try and try again, because this is not the end, it is only the beginning.” Thank you again for all of your concern, and for allowing me to have this tremendous learning experience. We will keep you post- ed on any future developments. Sincerely, Lori Reimann Great-opportunity for voters Dear Editor: There is a great opportunity for the voters in this riding.

Either way, what the Liberals are say- Rossland ing and what they are doing is not the same thing The only candidate who is talking of real democratic rep- resentation and has the written Party policies to back him up is Jim Gouk of the Reform Party That's where my vote is going.

Picture “Place CASTLEAIRD PLAZA 365-2211 It appears the best way to make a decision in the West Kootenay Soccer League is to make no decision at all That's what materialized after five hours of deliberation by league directors in an attempt to decide second place, and bye through the first round of the playoffs. Nelson Savoys and Castlegar will play a tie-breaking match Saturday at 4 p.m. in Castlegar instead of letting the league decide the matter. “Because we have, no ruling to decide the issue, we felt this was the best way to deal with it,” WKSL president Peter Korn told bac 6 *. the Nelson Daily News late Sun- day night after spending most of the night on the phone in an attempt to find a amicable solution. It was felt a consensus was struck earlier in the evening when the league decided to award sec ond to Castlegar on the third tie breaking process - best goals against. However, Savoy. head coach Barry Martin protested the decision, and won, with both teams agreeing to the playoff match. “Barry (Martin) wasn't too happy,” said Korn, that the league found the best way to solve the matter at hand. “He felt, consider- ing we did not have a way to solve this in our constitution, this was the best way to handle it SUN SPORTS PHOTO / John Van Putten Castlegar players came out on top of this attempt- ed header in Sunday’s game against Fruitvale Castlegar Dynamo won the match 5-0. With the win the Dynamo are forced to play a tie-break- ing match Saturday at 4 p.m. in Castlegar DAVID LETTERMAN and JAY LENO Castlegar November 13th WATCH FOR DETAILS and both teams agreed.” “TI guess next year we'll have to take a good look at this,” added Korn, realizing the only way for add another tie-breaking method to the league constitution is at the first meeting of the season It was thought the dust had set- ued on the WKSL regular season. At approximately 7:30 p.m., Kom, along with league treasurer Jan Mason, felt they had decided the matter, that would have put Nakusp first with Castlegar second and the two Nelson teams, Savoy and Heritage, third and fourth, respectively. Rossland was fifth and Trail sixth. Fruitvale finished out of the playoffs in seventh. Everything now remains the same, except Savoy and Castlegar will play to decide second spot This ts detinitely the ughtest I've seen this league.” Kom said ¢arlier in the evening from his home in the Beaver Valley. “We had to go through three tie-breakers before we came to a final decision.” The tie-breaking process was necessary following the results of the final weekend. Entering Sun day's games, Nakusp held a slim one-point lead over Nelson Savoy with Castlegar close behind in third, two points off the pace. A victory by Nakusp would send the defending league champs to host through the duration of then play- off round. A win by the host Savoys would clinch their second straight regular season crown The result was a 1-1 draw, send- ing Korn & Company scrambling through the league constitution. The draw gave Nakusp the title with 17 points. By virtue of a 5-0 win over Fnuitvale, Castlegar and Nelson Savoy finished tied for second with 16 points. The teams continued to be tied after the next two tie-breakers - head-to-head competition and goals-for-and- against The loser of Saturday's match hosts Trail in one of two first round contests. Rossland travels to Lakeside pitch for a quarter- final date against the Heritage Innkeepers. Heritage won home field advantage following a score- less draw with Rossland. The Rossland-Heritage contest is set for Thanksgiving Monday at 1 p.m. The time and date of the other contest is yet to be decided. First is all Rebels’ JOHN VAN PUTTEN Sun Sports Castlegar Rebels have left the 1993 season's starting blocks and they are off to a Strong Start, currently in sole possession Of first place, in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League Two decisive weekend wins catapulted the Rebels past Nelson in the early race for first place “The whole team has gelled together as one unit, all the lines are working well togeth er,” said Rebels Coach, Gary Sauer. With that much gel in place, the slick performance of the players earned them a 13-5 win over Grand Forks in Castlegar Friday night. They followed it up with a 10-5 tri- umph in Nelson, Saturday. The win in Nelson earned the Rebels their first place position as they moved to a 4- 0 record for the season Sticking to the set game plan is one of the main reasons for the Rebels early success “Our guys stuck to it (the game plan), they didn't take too many penalties,” Sauer said following the win in Nelson Going into the Nelson match, Sauer said the only weakness he could see in the team was a lack of depth in the defensive lines resulting from two recent injuries Kevan Rilcof and Ed Lehn are watching from the bleachers as they heal knee and shoulder injuries “With Rilcof and Lehn out we are missing two of our top four defencemen.” According to Coach Sauer, Rilcof is expected to be out at least three weeks and Lehn will be out of the line-up for »ihe next two weeks. “There's a lot of work to be had on our defence.” While injuries are inevitable in the game of hockey, Sauer says steps can be taken to try and avoid them as much as possible. “Injuries are going to happen, that’s part of the game. We still concentrate on the players health.” Practice is the chance for Sauer to get his players work- ing on things he sees needing improvement. “We concen- trate in practice on taking quality shots at the net, hitting the goal to set up rebounds.” Commenting on the:win over Grand Forks, Sauer says they (Grand Forks) only have one returning player from last years team, Derek Bird “The local talent is here this year, we are sticking with our local players,” Sauer said The Border Bruins hit the scoreboard first in Friday night's game to take a 1-0 lead. It was the only lead the Bruins would see as Castlegar answered the call, scoring four first period goals to sit in a 4- 2 lead after the first period From there the Rebels did not look back as they continued blasting shots in the net throughout the remaining two periods on route to a 13-5 landslide victory Mike Hunter led the Rebels Visitor In Your Backyard Winners Ist Prize: 3rd Prize: WY, The Gastiégar Sun iS A gift certificate for 4 people for your choice of | of the full day package tours offered by Inland Expeditions Ltd Value $250.
