To avoid future problems changes will need to be made. For inspiration we can look at the Nelson and District Recy- cling Centre. It is a well-run operation, and the person in charge, Michael Jessen, is knowled; and dto recycling. To begin with, Castlegar needs a permanent facility for its recycling centre. It should be supervised at all times, and it seems essential for those super- vising to be knowledgeable about and dedicated to recycling. There should be prompt pickup of the recyclables so bins do not overfill. Another aspect of an effective recycling progr is to recycle; they have to know what goes in what bin and how to things cannot be recycled. They need to become aware that recy- cling is the third R in the envi- ronmental three Rs, meaning that reducing and reusing are more effective ways to control waste and save resources. Many of the Castlegar and area residents were willing to try to make recycling work in this area. Unfortunately, it didn"t work that well the first time around. Making the above changes would bé a positive step toward making the next recycling pro- gram run smoothly. I urge the RDCK and the area residents to work together to make the changes to make the This aspect was virtually over- looked last time.

Libby Ruljancich @ Seniors Continued from 7A without having to put them the trauma of moving to unfamiliar surroundings far from easy access of the families involved. If it was not, then for the sake of the patients and the families involved it needs to become a reality not just a hope. We presently have a number of PEOPLE (not budgetary items) whose level of care has been re-evaluated at an extend- ed care level. Due to this re-evaluation the families have been informed that their loved ones will have to be moved to other facilities in other communities because there are no more extended care beds available within the pre- sent budget in our facility. And besides, “the mandate is to provide a bed somewhere in the region not within thé-local community.” I find it frustratingly ironic that men and women who have been residents of the facility for ansextended time and whose progress is well known to the facility are not even considered eligible for the waiting list for an extended care bed until they are re-eval- uated at that particular level of care at which time they then are put at the bottom of a wait- ing list behind many others from outside the community. Let me say to those who hold the purse strings and make the policy, I am sorry if the process of aging, death and dying is inconvenient and doesn't fit well within the confines of your inflexible rules and regulations. But any system that does not take that reality into considera- tion is draconian. It is painfully focused on the needs of the system and not the needs of the patient and that needs to be changed. May God help us if we are more con- cemed with the system than the people it is supposed to serve. Rankin McGougan SPORTS Sports Dept. Jeff Gabert 365-5579 The Castlegar Sun WEDNESDA tober 12, 1994 9A Kings dethroned JEFF GABERT Sun Sports The key to winning hockey games has never been any big secret. You score more than the other guys, and you win. Hey, it's even in the rule book. The Castlegar Rebels found that key on the weekend and opened up the victory chest with 14 goals over the two games. Saturday night saw the North Okanagan Kings visit the i confines of the Castle- gar Recreation Complex and the Crypt also saw an extremely period on a cheap goal right off the face-off. The play is generally known as a “Gretzky ial” but Mike Kooznetsoff did- n't think it was too special. The Rebels have been suffering through some defensive break- downs in their own end over the first part of this season. Head Coach Garry Sauer feels still has to step forward and fill Both teams lacked any major physical and they contin- ued to feel each other out through the second period. The Kings scored their second goal at 15:43 and was answered by a Rebel goal by Laine Nevi Coach Sauer wanted to mix things up for the third so he did a little creative line juggling. His second intermission changes was probably the play of the game. The newly assembled line of Nino Dacosta at centre, Del MacEwen at left wing and Jesse Oldham at right wing suddenly caught fire and scored three straight goals to win the game. All three came from the stick of Old- ham who seemed unstoppable all weekend. Kings goaltender Cole Martin leaps across the net to stop this sizzling Rebel shot by winger Del MacEwen. Martin also got a little help from his post. sun sPorts PHOTOS / Jef Gabor The game ended 4-3 thanks to better defense in the third and some saves from Kooznetsoff. “I thought it was an entertain- ing game,” said Sauer. “It was tight to the finish and we showed a lot of character coming back from a deficit. We also had great crowd support.” The Rebels second game had them travel across the border to Spokane to face the Braves. The arena in Spokane can often be a tough place to play for visiting clubs but the Rebels seemed to have no problem in demolishing the Braves 10-4. Les Barry was in goal for the Rebels and he played a good game in cruising to his first victory of Or anna Set the season. The outcome of the game was never in much doubt with the Rebels jumping out to a 4-0 lead after the first period. Goalscorers for the Rebels were Todd Doyle, Laine Nevison and Dacosta with two each, while Jordan Marlatt, Oldham, MacEwen and Mike Hunter scoring singles. Hunter just recently rejoined the Rebels squad after a short stint with the Nelson Maple Leafs. He was the scoring champion in the KHL last season and the Rebels are look- ing for more of the same. this sea- son. This will be his third year with the Rebels and his fourth in the “| hope he's starting to feel com- fonable-back. home,” said Saver of Hunter 4vho contributed a goal and four assists over the weekend. “He's a good leader but he's always been that way.” Finally things are starting to set- tle down with the team. After the two wins, Sauer was able to rough- ly pinpoint what this year’s team should look like. He released three players: forward Cam Pereverzoff, defenceman Dale Smith and defenceman Chris Thomas. Sauer doesn't feel anymore big changes will be necessary or practi- cal at this point. “We gotta slow down with the traffic and work with the guys we got,” said Sauer. “We have to close the door sometime.” But the door isn't quite closed yet as Sauer has invited two more players to try out. One is a big physical defenceman from their affiliated team, the Creston Thun- der, while the other is a forward from Nelson. Both players should: see-ice ume this weekend when the Rebels play Grand Forks and Spokane.
