City council ove
Dear Editor:

On behalf of the Castlegar and
District Teachers Association’ I
wish to express a strong objec-
tion to the brief presented to
Provincial educational review
panel in Cranbrook by Alderman
Smecher, This brief is endorsed
b Bas apace and appears

of Castlegar letter-
head. I would be most i

rsteps the line

political group that often comes
to the table with a single agenda
and purpose.
I find it amazing that City
Council, with the problems they
are experiencing, have decided to
Publicly question the integrity
and motivation of a parallel
elected body.
The policies put forward by
Md Si and Mayor

to find out if it was supported
the remainder of Council. 7
Two major
brief read as follows:
1) Blected School Board
trustees should only have adviso-
ry

powers

2) The Superintendent of
Schools should be hired by the
Ministry.

The reason given for these
Proposals was that School
Trustees are little more than a

tive of Castlegar citizens or is it
time for a municipal election so
that we can turf out these two
relics from the Vanderzalm
regime?

Charlottetown agreement prom

In my opinion, a Yes vote on
this agreement will not end but
will perpetuate the discord and
disagreement between Quebec
and the rest of Canada. *

According to the latest polis,
the next election in Quebec will

accept the conditions of the pro-
posed Constitutional Accord,
After a very exercise i
futility, we are back to square one.

The basis of discussion would
be the cost of separation for both
sides. On the one side, an inde-
pendent Quebec would lose the
Canadian Armed Forces, the
RCMP, Federal Transfer Pay-
ments, loss of thousands of jobs
im the Federal Civil Service, and

of the Canadi:

gated to assume their fair share of
the National Debt.

Under these conditions the rest
of Canada has much to gain and
very little to lose. In addition to
the above mentioned savings
there will be other cost reduc-
tions.

With a soveriegn Quebec, the
French language in the rest of
Canada will no longer have Spe-
cial status, and related costs, but
will revert to an equal footing

languages in our unique and -

Lewis said about the Senate and

The word Judo means the gentle way

The sport Judo is an almost mystical balance
between gentle mental control and physical force

“It helps to teach people to give and take,” said
John Gibson, the ‘sensi’ or teacher/instructor of the
Castlegar Judo Club.

The most common sound at the club’s practices is
the thwack of limbs and bodies on the inch thick
mats lining the gym floor at Twin Rivers school. It
may be a nasty sound, but it’s not really a cause for
worry. Hitting the mat is the first lesson of judo.

“You teach the person how to tumble and how to
fall so they don’t get hurt,” said Gibson. After that is
established, the trust between Judo participants
begins to grow

“You have to trust the person, if their going to
throw you, that they’re going to do it the right way.”
Judo is the gentle way, being the only martial art
where you can go to the highest levels of competi-
tion without being hurt.

Unlike the other martial arts, no hits are allowed
in judo until the third or fourth level black belt. Even
then, the hits are for demonstration only.

“There's hardly any thing to do with judo in the
martial arts magazines,” said Gibson.

Balance is the key word in judo. In taking an
opponent down to the mat, the first step is breaking
their balance

“If you get them off balance, that’s half the bat-
tle,” said Gibson.

Balance is also a key in the mental part of the
game. Being able to control the force, analyze the
opponents weak spots, and not break the strict rules
about throws and holds translates in to a valuable life
lesson for participants, especially the younger ones.

“It gives them discipline in life,” he said.

“Parents tell me that ever since their kids took up
judo, their grades have improved since the discipline
and confidence can improve their attitudes.”

There are seven different coloured belts which
mark the progression from beginner on up: white,
yellow, orange, green, blue, brown, and black. Once
the black belt is attained, there are 10 ‘dans’ or
degrees of progression.

While Gibson directs the skills instruction for
younger club members, the seniors pair off and work
on technique at the edge of the mats.

“In judo, you always learn off the other person,”
Gibson said. With two belts separating partners, the
higher belt can practice and perfect their moves with
the lower belt, while the lower belt receives instruc-
tion from the higher belt.

And it doesn’t matter what level you're at in judo,
each match is a lesson.

“I learn every time I go out, and I’ve been in it
since 1971.”
