Justice C.W. Wilkinson read the verdict. St. Gelais, a 42-year-old businessman, maintained he had an on-going sexual relationship with the plaintiff, a 45-year-old woman who was also one of his tenants. She claimed she rejected all sexual advances from him and that St. Gelais assaulted her one night in her own bedroom in late August of 1991 Both sides had a witness. Jus- tice Wilkinson said neither wit- ness particularly contributed to a decision and no one had witnessed the alleged assault. He said evidence from the plain- tiff and the accused did not jcon- flict in any major way, except for the sexual information, which was totally opposite. Credibility is the issue. Neither evidence was shaken on cross-examination,” he said. Wilkinson did say that St. Gelais’ record — guilty of a 1986 sexual —— assault on a fefnale under 14 years old, and sexual intercourse with a female under 14 years old in 1976, both in Edmonton, — “did bear on his credibility.” Under cross examination by St. Gelais’ lawyer, Brent Adair, the plaintiff admitted to having sexu- al intercourse once with St. Gelais at the drive-in and that she was drunk at the time. She said she normally drinks no alcoholic bev- erages and denied ever smoking marijuana with St. Gelais and his friends or being a part of their drinking parties. Bell, in his summation, urged the Supreme Court Justice to look at the credibility of his client, who, although nervous and soft spoken was clear and concise on the stand. She only showed emotion when it was revealed she had been sexual- ly abused as a child, Bell said. When Justice Wilkinson announced his decision the plain- tiff fled sobbing from the court- room, followed by a case worker from the Women In Need Society victim's assistance program.

The Friday night Rebels came out to prove themselves in their home stand against the Nelson Maple Leafs, rumoured to be the best in the KHL again this year. “Friday was really good team effort,” said Coach Gary Sauer. It was a psychological hurdle for the hockey team. The Leafs smoked the Rebels in the playoffs last year, and were the toughest team the Rebels have yet faced. “I told them this years a new Season, and we take each team period by period," said Sauer. The team lived the game period- by-period, and two timely goals gave them the edge at the end of the first and second periods. With four second left in the first, and the Rebels were trailing 3-1, Dustin Rilcof potted it on an a pass from Derek Lalonde. "It was a big boost going into the second period." At that point, Nelson was killing Castlegar on the power play. But the Rebels adjust- ed their game plan during the first intermission, and it worked. At the close of the second peri- od, the team got another boost Leading the game 5-4, the Rebels killed off a four minute penalty. "That was a big boost for the guys,” said Sauer. But the boost didn't carry over to Sunday's game in Spokane. It was the Rebels’ evil twin that showed up. kicked off their season with the two-day camp. McNeil’s empha- sis, beyond instilling a love for the game, is showing them how they can improve ‘their skifis, and implement those skills. “There's a lot of break down of skills, so they see the parts, and hopefully they can put it together in a game situation.” She added that she’s starting from_a fairly high level with the players at the camp. “They've had good coaching - they have good basics.” Jack Closkey, coach of the SHSS senior girls team, said that McNeil’s methods work well for “We came out flat." From the warm-up on, the team weren't in the game mentally. The Braves got a quick jump on the Rebels, with four goals in a two-minute span in the first “Down 4-0 after one, that's tough to come back from in the other team's rink,” said Sauer After beating the toughest team in the league, the Rebels had a tough time getting charged up for a team they had beaten twice in the exhibition schedule It showed on the ice, as well as the scoreboard. "There were lot of errors we didn't make in exhibition play,” said Sauer. Braves stood in the slot without being challenged, and no one showed muchrenthusiasm, If they want to win, Sauer said, the team can't come out flat like that again. “Whether the opposition is first place or last, you have to give 100 per cent.” The nest step beyond the atti- tude is some work on the defense, which e¥en the Nélson game showed signs of needing work. "We did have six goals against We don't want to have to score seven or eight to win a game.” NELSON MAPLE LEAFS 6 @ 1. Nelson, Waldron (York) 2:26 (pp) 3, Nelson, Mowery 9:11 (pp) 4.
