Page 10A The Castlegar Sun Wednesday, January 22, 1992 Warfield Mayor meets red light and can not proceed with phase two of subdivision Warfield mayor Bill Trewhella was hoping to get the green light from his council to proceed with the second phase of the Sleeman 8 on ng, but instead, met the red light of opposition from alderman Jim Nelson. ‘Whereas the mayor would like someone to come forward to develop the property which would include 30 lots, Nelson said he wants further study on potential water shortage prob- lems. “I'm not convinced that 30 houses wouldn't put too much pressure on the system.” He said a five-year-old report prepared by Kerr Wood Leidel, that not enough water was avail- able for fire flows. “We should be looking at the distribution systems and pressure in different zones." He said his concern is mainly with the village's small business section, the adjacent apartments and the first phase of the Sleeman subdivision as not having ade- quate water for a large fire. But Trewhella said the Kerr Wood Leidel study was done at a time when the village was having trouble recovering its-water pres- sure and that problem has been rectified with a new,pump. He said former alderman Dick Guillaume is the expert on the village water supply and chas- tised his alderman for not confer- ring with Guillaume — as he had suggested they do — if they had worries. In his memo to council, Trewhella said Cominco has given assurance it will continue to supply the amount of water it currently provides the village, and because of the new “there will be no burden on our system with the addition of 30 new homes.” He said the new subdivision would not place further sprin- kling restrictions on the village, because “whether we have 30 more homes or 30 less homes, restrictions are only put into effect when our water supply is put into jeopardy because of (S) TOMATO tous Tomato soup 3 de ORANGE JUICE a | Frozen Concentrate. 355 ml tin ea ROMAN MEAL BREAD Harvest Recipe, a G a ea.

PROFILE ESDAY, January 22, 1992 1B Getting a ‘kick’ out of karate An average night for the club in Castlegar will have a showing of about 20 out of the total 30 members. Martial arts in Castlegar?— You betcha. If you want a sure way of staying fit, the Castlegar and Trail Karate Club will probably fit the bill. After being somewhat dor- mant since 1982, the club was re-started four years ago, and is now affiliated with Karate B.C. and in turn, the National Karate Association. They train in a style known as Shotokan, one of the major traditional Japanese styles. According to trainer Maurice Doucet, a first degree Black Belt, karate has. died down somewhat in Zone one, with the exception of Trail and Castle- gar. Zone 1 covers Castlegar, Cranbrook, Creston, Fernie, Golden, Grand Forks, Kimberly, Nelson, Rossland and Trail. In Castlegar, an average of 20. members meet twice weekly to train at the Kinnaird Elementary School gym. Those in Trail also meet twice a week. There are members of both gender, from their pre-teens to mid-40’s. This club is serious enough about their sport to be sending three members to Vernon to compete in the 1992 B.C. Win- ter Games, February 27— March 1. After the playoffs for Zone one were held on Wednesday, January 15, it was decided that Castlegar’s Martin Noel, Jeff Nielsen and Robby Dosanjh will be competing against 13 to 18 year-old athletes from clubs in eight other zones throughout B.C. The competition during the winter games is no contact, with two actual events, Kata (Forms) and Sparring. . According to Doucet, one event is equally important as the other and athletes can earn medals in both Forms and Spar- g- “The fighting is not more important than the forms,” St-r-r-etch those legs! Instructor and first degree Black Belt, Maurice Doucet takes the club through a warm-up. Jeff Nielsen (L) stops a kick by Robby Dosanjh (R) during the Zone one play- offs on January 15, 1992. Both will be compet- ing in the B.C. Win- ter Games in Ver- non. stressed Doucet. “We'll do well, especially with Martin and Jeff,” said Doucet, adding that the club did really well in competition from 1979-82. “This is our first year back with the games since 1982.” Start training. Anyone from six years of age and up can join any time. “We have a hard time getting ladies in the club,” said Dunlap. “They tend to think it’s only for men—it's not.” Dunlap added that training The three local petitors bound for the Winter Games are Green Belts, or classified as intermediate and fall in the 13 to 18 year-old age group. As well, each spring and fall the B.C. Karate Association holds Provincial Champi- onships. Those competitors who place in the top five make the provincial karate team and com- pete on a national level. The top five nationally form the Canadi- an Team and head to the Pan- Am Games. “We've got a few people training for that, including myself,” said Club President Tim Dunlap, who is a second degree Black Belt, has qualified for third degree and will proba- bly be tested in Spokane before spring. Although the club is not actively pursuing additional members at this time, anybody that wants to can show up and The fighting is not more important than the forms. Maurice Doucet Story and photos by Brendan Halper and iP is non-contact. “We very rarely have an injury.” There are four instructors, all with first degree Black Belt, and during training, the beginners are separated from the advanced students. The club’s board of directors is made up of nine people. “It’s not just Black Belts on the board,” said Dunlap. “There are students too. It's good to get feedback from everyone.” Club members pay monthly dues of $25 and a yearly due for B.C. Karate. The yearly due ranges from $17 to $40 depend- ing on their class. The dues cover accident insurance, seminars, tourna- ments and summer . Anyone interested in the club can contact Tim Dunlap at 362- 5858 or Maurice Doucet at 365- 7399. Martin Noel winds up (above) ... and kicks (below). Both he and his opponent will be competing in the 1992 B.C. Winter Games in Vernon.
