adds life to lessons an novel approach to education, Andy Shadrack, a political science instructor at Selkirk College, enlisted the aid of several court officials and the use of cour- troom facilit in Castlegar to recreate an actual court trial for the benefit of his students in political science 113. “This was the best way I could devise to give my students first-hand exposure to the judiciary, which~I consider to be an important part of the governmental process,”" Shadrack said in a news release. Shadrack said the exercise, which occurred April 11, was a success thanks to the involvement of provin- cial court Judge Ron Fabbro. The trial re-creation was the second such event staged by Shadrack with the assistance of Fabbro. The exercise was started with last year's political science class. “All the credit goes to Judge Fab- bro,” said Shadrack. ‘‘He put the whole thing together.’’ To maintain authenticity, Fabbro recruited provincial court Judge Stuart Enderton to act as the trial judge, crown counsel Hugh McShef- frey as crown prosecutor and attor- ney Brent Adair as defence counsel. Crown counsel Dana Urban-played the part of a psychiatrist, called up to give expert testimony in the case before the court. Students participated by taking on roles as assistant counsel for both the Prosecution and the defence, court clerk, jury and witnesses. Judge Fabbro obtained a script prepared from the transcripts of an actual case, Regina vs. Lavallee, by Judge C. Barnett of Williams Lake. “While a little nervous at first, the students got into their roles and did a good job of memorizing their dialogue,’’ said Fabbro. The mock trial was televised for ‘broadcast over the Knowledge Net- work which offers Shadrack’s political science course through distance delivery.

Songs put twist on readings at library By JUDY WEARMOUTH Head Librarian This was a National Book Festival reading with a difference. Poet and singer-songwriter- Sid Marty entertained a crowd of 40 people in the Castlegar Library to a musical literary cafe on Sunday evening. His mixture of poetry, prose and song had appeal for many tastes as he read funny excerpts from Men for the Mountains and some comic, serious and sensual poems from his volumes Headwaters, and Nobody Danced with Miss Rodeo. He, mingled these readings with some delightfully amusing and touching songs of the outdoors, including South Country Wind and The Discount will be given at of sale. FBC cards will be honoured stamping onty on the above stated Lonely Moose. His tape of environmental songs called Let the River Run and all his books are available at the library.

NOW AVAILABLE PROFESSIONAL TAX PREPARATION SERVICE In I've been thinking about the future, wondering what athletes will make Castlegarians feel good for the next 10 years? I mean, don’t lie, when you hear one of those cliche-infested television announcers mention that such and such an athlete hails from Castlegar, it makes you feel good, right? Like some proud parent, every time I hear the name Steve Bozek or Felix Belczyk on TV or radio, I always make a point of telling out-of-town friends (or the unin- formed) that those two world- class athletes are from Castlegar. I guess those friends are sup- Young golfers groomed By CasNews Staff Six Castlegar golfers were among 16 of the top juniors in the West Kootenay who gathered at the Castlegar and District course for a weekend skills competition and tour- nament. School Sports, Page B2 Brother combinations Jody and Marty Carew, and Todd and Jason A in the three- posed to be'amazed or and immi ely start buyi local real estate and rearing children here. But back to the future, which, I thought, could be lacking those warm and fuzzy feelings provided by both Bozek and Belezyk as they contemplate their futures af- ter careers that have spanned more than a decade in their respective sports. Belezyk, 29, is considering packing it in on the World Cup ski circuit and Bozek, 30, will become a free agent without compensation unless the Van- couver Canucks sign him this summer. If, so the thought process went, those Castlegar-bred boys decide to leave the spotlight, who would be there to fill the con- siderable void they would leave? Surprisingly, at least to me anyway, it didn’t take me more than five minutes to come up with a half dozen names. Starting with hockey (which is still this town’s game regardiess of how the Rebels do), Travis Green is probably the best player to come out of the Castlegar system since Bozek. And not trying to’ slight Mr. B., but from my information Green is looking forward to a long and prosperous NHL career that may surpass in glory that of Castlegar’s favorite NHL son. Another on the verge of ice stardom is Steve Junker, who’s playing for the Western Hockey League’s Spokane Chiefs and may be making his first ap- pearance in the Memorial Cup next month. Kelly Hurd and Green’s brother David are also pretty fair Prospects to land jobs in the pros and Darcy Martini may be ready next year to make his move in the Edmonton Oilers organization. As far as a body to replace Belczyk, should he retire, that seems less likely. I don’t follow skiing as closely as I probably should so I couldn’t say if there’s another local Belczyk on the horizon, but I wouldn’t imagine a skier with Belcyyk-type ability comes by every day. On the other hand, the Castlegar Aquanauts swim club has produced some national- calibre swimmers (and gone pret- ty much unheralded in the com- munity for it, I might add). There’s a couple of current Aquanauts who could be headed to the big time as well though it’s still a long way and a lot of hard work away for the likes of Aimie Chernoff and several of the male swimmers. And what about Stanley Hum- phries secondary school student Laurel Closkey in race walking? She just took up the sport a year ago and won a medal in the provincial championships last year. What could she do if she got really serious about that Olympic sport? And there’s probably a dozen names I've missed. (Anybody wants to fill me in sometime, I'm listening and I can always write another column). Sure, every small town has its local-kid-goes-big-time stories, and 1 suppose there’s nothing profound about Castlegar having a few of its own, It’s just nice, that’s all. And maybe those success maybe it’s part of the reason they do. day, invitation-only event along with Todd Bondaroff and Mark Perrier. Junior players, under 18 years old, qualified for the tournament by vir- tue of their results playing on the junior circuit in the Kootenays. Todd Archambault was the big winner when the prizes were handed out Sunday coming in with the second low net (the player’s score minus his handicap) and placing first overall in the low gross (without counting handicap) category. He also won the closest to the pin competition on the 13th hole while Bondaroff won it on the eighth hole. Jason Archambailt placed third overall in the low gross category. Thomas Dimopoulos of Nelson was the overall low net winner.

The guy who is going to win is the guy who thinks his way around the course.’” To help with the thinking process, course pros Arnie Sherwood of Rossland, Matt Shaw of Christina Lake and Randy-Green of Nelson joined McArthur in running the lessons for the golfers, mostly 14, 15 and 16 years old. “Matt (Shaw) had a. great talk with the kids, he was really telling them what they had to go through to make it,”’ said McArthur Clinic takes off the rough edges best juniors who competed in a three day skills ‘rom left) Todd Archambault, Jody Carew, “It was great,’’ said Bondaroff. “They tell you how to think about the game, how to be smart about it,’’ he said.

EDMONTON (CP) — The Ed- monton Oilers have equalled an NHL playoff record by playing in five straight overtime games, and veteran defenceman Kevin Lowe wouldn't mind making it six against the Los Angeles Kings tonight. “Hey, why not? If we have to do it, let's get into the record book,” said Lowe, who has played in more than 150 playoff games. The Oilers, in pursuit of their sixth Stanley Cup championship in eight years, played two overtime games against the Calgary Flames in the Smythe Division semifinal, then went into extra time in the first three games of the division final against the Kings. The score in all three games was 4- 3. The Oilers won the last two in double overtime and they hold a 2-1 lead in the series. The Oilers matched_an overtime mark set by the Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens in By KEVIN McGRAN The Canadian Press The Pittsburgh Penguins are lear- ning what it takes to win: Just pass the puck to Kevin Stevens. Stevens scored with 10:46 left in regulation for his third consecutive 8 inning goal as the guin beat Washington 3-1 Tuesday night. “It’s one of those things where I’ve had a lot of chances to score goals,"’ Stevens said. ‘It's not just Mario (Lemieux), it’s not just (Mark) Recchi. It’s a total team ef- fort. sburgh, up 3-1 in the Patrick Division final, now is one win away from advancing to the Wales Con- ference final. The franchise has never made it beyond the second round. Meanwhile, Montreal evened its Adams Division final at two games each with a 6-2 win over Boston. “We found @ way to beat Andy Moog and we've got to take that into Game 5,'’ said Montreal centre Brian Skrudiand. “We're getting stronger Tonight, Los Angeles is in Edmon- JOHN MUCKLER +». has had enough 1951, when all five games in the Stanley Cup final went to extra time. “Let’s go triple overtime next game!’’ Lowe said with a laugh. “The way I look at it is. . . in the ton with the Oilers leading the Smythe final 2-1, Minnesota, up 2-1 in the Norris, is at home to St. Louis. AGRE ath meee eae code of the West the old settlers had to work for everything they got.” The most overtime games the Oilers previously had in one year was four, last spring. Coach John Muckler would prefer to see a decision in regulation time tonight. “I don’t want to get in the NHL books,” he said. ‘‘We’ll take a tie next game rather than overtime. It’s the pressure of overtime. It takes its toll.’” The Kings managed to force Game 3 into overtime even though they were playing without such big guns as Wayne Gretzky, Tomas San- dstrom, Bob Kudelski and Steve Kasper. Gretzky was forced to the sidelines late in the first period‘ after he took a puck in the ear. Sandstrom and Kudelski were injured in Game 2 and Kasper is recovering from a con- cussion. “Give L.A. credit for a lot of heart to play the way they did with Penguins 3 Capitals 1 Stevens skated down the right side to the back boards and then moving back toward the net, powered past defenceman Rod Langway. He then banked the puck off the far post, behind goalie Don Beaupre. “He made an all-star play,’’ said Washington coach Terry Murray “That's as strong a play as you're going to see any player in the NHL make in that situation."’ Recchi had a goal and two assists while Phil Bourque scored into the empty net. Washington's Tim Opened the scoring at 9:43 of the first, but the Capitals couldn't beat goalie Tom Barrasso the rest of the way, although they outshot the Penguins 39-19. couldn't have picked a better time to shine, both for his team and, potenially, for himself A free agent this summer, Stevens Scored 40 goals and 46 assists in the fegular season (46-46-92), dating back to’ 1987-88.

Muckler said the Oilers didn’t play well. Two Oilers who had noticeable Problems were centre Mark Messier and defenceman Steve Smith “When you've played four over- time games in a row you have 8 ten- dency not to push,’’ Muckler. said. “They played defensively. They’re giving a breather, we took it. Psychologically that happens. It shouldn’t but it did.’’ Muckler intends to stick with Messier and Smith. ‘‘Everybody has their problems at different points in their careers,’’ he said. ‘‘You have to be supportive. It’s either that, or line both of them up against a wall and shoot them.” Gretzky, with 25 stitches in and around his left ear, was hoping to be back in action tonight, wearing a helmet with an earguard. “We'll see what the doctor says,”’ Gretzky said Tuesday. Penguins more than just Mario, Habs finally solve powerplay Canadiens 6 Bruins 2 Shayne Corson and Stephane Richer each scored twice as Montreal figured out how to beat Moog and rediscovered its power player. Moog made 39 saves Sunday in Boston’s 3-2 win but was solved for three goals in the second period. “If it wasn’t for Andy Moog, we'd be up 3-1 by now,” said Mon- treal goalie Patrick Roy. The Canadiens entered the game 1- for-70 on the power play against Boston in the last four years in the playoffs. Claude Lemieux, now with New Jersey, had that goal in Game 2 of the 1989 Adams Division final. Since then, Montreal's been 0-for-42. Ray Bourque and Cam Necly scored for Boston, Mathieu Schneider and Russ Courtnall had the other Montreal markers, Corson had the two power play goals, scoring the first at $:05 of the opening period. “They had to get ome because everyone was making such a big deal about it,”’ said Boston coach Mike Milbury. Bozek joins Nats VANCOUVER (CP) — Veteran forward and Castlegar native Steve Bozek of the Van- couver Canucks agreed Friday to join Team Canada for the rest of the qorld championships in Finland. Bozek will be reunited with NHL teammates Trevor Linden, Doug Lidster, Cliff Ronning and Geoff Courtnall when he meets the Canadian team this weekend at Helsinki. Canada won its opening game of the tournament Friday 4-3 over the United States when Courtnall scored twice. Bozek, 30, will become a free agent without compensation unless the Canucks sign him to a new contract this summer. Bozek had 15 goals and 17 assists in 62 league games. Bozek was scoreless in three first-round playoff games as Vancouver was eliminated in six games by the Los Angeles Kings. He missed thrde starts with a rib injury before feturning for Sen- day's final gam¢ of the series.
