Trail students impress at science fair in Sudbury TRAIL TIMES Two local students distin- themselves at a national science fair held in Sudbury last week. Jason Cooper, a grade 10 stu- dent at J. Lloyd Crowe, won the bronze medal in computer tech- nology. Blayne Welk, a grade 7 at Cook Avenue, received an honor- able mention in the life sciences category. Cooper won his medal for a computer bulletin board system he developed and put into use in Rossland. "He investigated the whole aspect of bulletin boards and their practicality as a means of communication,” said science teacher Roger Prior. Welk’s project involved origi- nal research into the healing properties of cabbage on dermati- tis. The student science fair was attended by 500 competitors from across the country. Cooper and Welk were selected to represent the West Kootenay-Boundary region at a regional science fair held at the Crowe last month.

The conditioning is an important in building the base. Carew sald that some of the Aqeenants have been getting in to shape on their own with soccer, baseball, dancing, and running. Another important part of training is the mental prepara- tion and developing mental strategies. “They visualizer the whole race in their minds, see how their hands enter the water, their turns, and their strokes,” said Carew. “When they get to the point when they have to race, it just happens and they do it.” Both Carew and his coaching cohort Wendy Pilla grew up with the program, and have been coaching the team for the past four years. Carew has been with the team since he started swimming with them in 1977, at the age of nine. Pilla said Carew is an “awesome” swimmer, and he still gets in to the pool to swim the odd race with the team. “He's motivating, he's i and he's educat- ed. The kids love him and respect him,” she said ‘Carew swam with the University of Alberta swim team, where he's working on his Bachelor of Arts in Canadian history. For the past two years he’s been with the Keyano Swim Club in Edmonton. And his work with the team has given him a goal beyond the BA. “T think I’m going to go into education when I'm Pilla will be graduating from the University of British Columbia this com- ing December from Human Kinetics and Physical Edu- cation.

She no longer swims competitively and said that coaching the team is a way to keep active and still have something to do with the sport. She started with the club in 1980, and except for two years coaching in Trail, she’s, been with the Otters ever since. Her real strength, Carew said, is how she deals with the younger kids. “A lot of times, they're really hard to handle They're really energetic,” Carew said. Her skill is tak- ing that energy and direct- ing it to the swimming. For Pilla and Carew, coaching the team for such a long time has lent a conti- nuity to the team. “It’s like a big family,” said Pilla. They have séen swimmers evolve in their four years of coaching, and the contact over the years has built a winning rela- tionship. “They really want to work hard for you,” added Pilla. Plus, a large infusion of new swimmers will help make it a strong year for the club. Across the Columbia in Robson, the 50 River Otters are working hard as well. “We're ng stroke imp time impr ment over the summer, and fun,” said head coach Marie Seghers. She started as an assistant coach with the River Otters three years ago, and this is her second season = head coach. ‘We're stressing stroke improvement, : time improvement over the summer, and fun’ ‘ — MARIE SEGHERS: River Otters Head Coach Seghers grew up in Spokane, and she just graduated froth Elementary Education at UBC. She is currently substitute teaching in the Castiegar School District. Along with assistant coach Tara Paulhus, from Prince George, Seghers is gearing the River Oners up for a mong competitive season. “We are working towards the provincials this year, rather than the regionals,” Seghers added. “I think we're going to have a good season. A lot of new kids have joined, and the returning kids are ready to go.” Paulhus said that with the amount of pool time and space the club gets, it's easier to do a lot of the one-on- one work with the younger swimmers. With them, she said, it is necessary to get in the water and show them the flaws. With the older kids, the coaches watch from the side and explain to them the corrections needed.
