Any money he had has come from parents or fam. ily allowance. He lives in a new modular home and he wore a tuxe do for his graduation. His medical and educational needs have been met for all of his 18 ye The parent that he so insulted in his column has changed his dirty diapers, seen that his crooked foot was repaired and picked up his tuxedo off the floor after pay ing the rental. His parents were very proud to see him graduate and put up with his attitude that he knew more than they did to be sure that he would get the educa tion he needs to make good. I don't believe that children owe their parents for the financial benefits they have enjoyed through their infancy and child- hood. However, they do owe them respect at least as payment for the love and concern given them over they years. You paper allowed Dan an avenue to publicly insult and humiliate his mother and step father, telling half truths and twisted information. As editor, you should have recognized the immaturity he exposed in him- self. You should also have recog- nized. that perhaps this article would be the “straw-that-broke- the-camels back” in his mothers serious illness. Dan has insulted all of us who have worked hard to raise respon- sible, mature children, in the hopes that they can take care of themselves when their age and the time appropriate. His attitude suggest that his time has come to begin the process of growing up without any support from those who he appears to feel are inferi or to him. His selfish, narcissistic attitude will not serve him nearly as well in the REAL WORLD as it has up to now in his family Florence Meronowich ANNE MURRAY and JERRY GARCIA Castlegar November 13th.

For the 14 players trying to land a spot on the II member roster the try-outs were filled with conditioning and skills exercises. Although the team has no monstrously tall players, Coach Jack Closkey doesn’t see that as a disadvantage. “T think we can make up for our lack of size by playing a fast game We have no giants, so we are going to have to be aggressive on defence.” According to Closkey, with good athletes a team can make up for any advantage another team might have with tall players This year we have no pariculir size and no real star.” Those fact don't discourage Closk wh says the team will just alter th style of game they play to suit t size of the players We'll be playing a fast uptemp. vane this year.” Closkey sud At the training camp the players were grilled, drilled and roasted by coach Closkey who put them through assorted skills develop ment exercises. The players worked on free throws, lay-ups, power lay-ups and outside shots during the first section of the two- hour training camp. The players were faced with the constant encouragement by Closkey “Come on hustle back,” was a common phrase heard during practice From there the players pro gressed to work on defence Closkey says he will be concentrat ing on keeping his players in top cardiovascular shape by putting players through conditioning drills such as munning full court length two-on-one passing plays and one on-one ball control training ‘On defence we want to be as wide as possjble, wide stanc hands out in front so you can just see them,” were the instruc tions Closkey gave to the pla ers at the start of one of the training routines Just one more weekend Closkey says he will have mi his tinal selection of players tor the new season Another note of optimism camp, Closkey said, came from the tth number of players that were in grades nine and ten who were try ing out for the senior team.
