But that certainly wasn't the case last Friday as school children from across Dis- trict #9 enjoyed a fun day of basketball. Thé 1995 Boys and Girls Basketball Tour- naments were held last Friday at Stanley Humphries High School and Kinnaird Ele- mentary respectively and it was a chance for the kids to take part in a high energy event without being called to the principal's office. The boys event featured Twin Rivers, Kin- naird Elementary, Tarry’s and Woodland Park all playing off for the championship plaque. Play began at the SHSS Gym at 1 p.m. Woodland Park narrowly defeated. Twin Rivers in their opener to advance to the final while Kinnaird succumbed to a tough Tarry’s team. That-set up the final between Tarry’s and Woodland Park. Woodland k clearly had- one of the ee at the mainly due to their depth and they’ continued their strong play by taking a big lead on Tarry’s into half- time, The second half went much the same as the first and Woodland Park cruised to the title with a 36-24 win. “They played pretty well even though they tended to play in spurts,” said Woodland Park coach and tournament organizer Richard Dodds. “It takes 10 people to make a good team at this level of bask be the been so successful. “The kids really like coming to the high school and playing in the big gym,” said Dodds. “It's a real treat for them. The kids really enjoy it and the younger kids really look forward to their year to play.” The girls were also in action on Friday at Kinnaird Elementary where 53 players came out from Kinnaird Elementary, Twin Rivers, Woodli Park and Robson. All players took kids can't play a full game. This year we had depth and I think that's why we won. Also the kids are quick and they play well together.” Dodds picked Matt and Connor McCarthy, and Blair Tassone as the stars of the game for his team. According to Dodds all three players played tough defence and played well offensively. The semi-final game was between Kinnaird Elementary and Twin Rivers. The Twin Pivers team was dedicated to avenging their first round loss to Tarry's and they came out ‘strong taking it to Kinnaird and never letting up en route to the third place finish. The tournament is a big event every school year and Dodds says that's why it's always part in a combined scrimmage format to start the basketball event and then later split into their school teams for a couple ganies. oe The overall winner of the tournament was Kinnaird which defeated Twin Rivers in the final game, 27-20. But according to tourna- ment co-ordinator Phil Donaldsof the real winners were all the kids. iy “It was a good day,” said Donaldson. “The skill level of these kids is impressive consider- ing they're 10 and 11 years old. The People at the high schools are going to have some good kids over the next few years. “And in the end the kids had a good time and got to play some basketball.” GO REBELS Arrow Building Supplies Ltd.

SUN SPORTS PHOTO / Jeff Gabert Bantam’s trail ends JEFF GABERT Sun Sports The Castlegar Bantam Reps came to the end of their champi- onship trail last week and it was all due to a city just 26 kilometres down the road. But that didn’t mean the road was smooth. Castlegar’s first game of their series with the conglomerated Rossland/Trail club was held last Tuesday in Rossland. The Castle- gar kids came out strong but couldn't solve the Rossland/Trail goaltending. Coach Rich Davis said his team had enough chances to be up 5-1 after the first period but instead they found themselves down 1-0. The rough first period led to an even rougher second and third and when all was said and done the scoreboard read 12-1 for Rossland/Trail. The second game of the series went Wednesday in Castlegar and the Bantams were prepared to avenge their first loss. They Played their best hockey game of the ‘season by far. They battled furiously against the Trail club « and actually held a 3-1 lead after the first period. But then the wheels fell off and, despite a total team effort, they still lost 8-6. The loss was bitter-sweet for Davis who was frustrated by the loss yet consoled in the fact that his boys didn’t give up after the devastating loss in Game one. It was at least a suitable cap to their season. “I can’t express to you how well they played,” said Davis. “It was such and uplifting feeling to See them come out so strong after getting beat so bad. It was fantas- tic and I will remember that game for a long time. They Proved to themselves that they were. a very good hockey team.” The Bantams season isn’t quite over yet as Davis hopes to get in a tournament or two before the end - even if he has to run one himself.

But that doesn't mean it isn't-a Problem for other people as well. “Nutrition is ly imp in everyday life,” said Krueger. “Most of the people I see in hospital even outside of my patients don't have to be here if they had eaten better in life and been more active.” According to Krueger there is a direct link between the way we eat and the way we live our lives. People who set aside time to prepare their food and use forethought in selecting it also tend to be more on top of things in their lives. In addition, eating Properly can have a profound effect on moods, energy levels and self-esteem. The number one problem in North America is a simple meal called break: Krueger is emphatic in telling people that it is the most important meal of the day. “Everybody that comes to see me, like 98 Per cent, don’t eat breakfast,” said Krueger. “That in itself means something. All the people that are heavy don’t eat breakfast, mainly because they feel breakfast leads to more eating throughout the day. But they don’t understand that’s what we want.” Hunger in the i is good.
