Ml Castlégar News September 24, 1986 value of Andrea's bright eyes and happy smile show how much she loves being a member of her Grade 1 class. With help from teachers and aides at the Special Education Resource Centre, Andrea attends Grade 1 for homeroom, music, stories, library, recess and some learning activities. For the rest of her school day Andrea receives special help in Twin Rivers school's Transition Room, where she works on pre-mobility skills, communi cation and fine motor tasks. Andrea's participation in the Grade 1 program is a triumph of spirit for her, and a testimonial to the value of early childhood intervention services provided by the West Kootenay Infant Development Program and the Hobbit Hill Children’s Centre, with support from Castlegar's United Way At birth, Andrea was a small infant. Her head was smaller than average, and medical investigation showed some heart problems and cerebral palsy, along with other abnormalities of her brain. A doctor described her as likely to be permanently “bed-ridden” Sandra Crossley, director of the West Kootenay Infant Development Program, began working with Andrea and her family when Andrea was two months old. D WAY EPORT The Infant Development Program's home-based program is ideal for children under three years of age, as the children are visited in their most comfortable and natural settings Parents and other family members are given practical, down-to-earth ideas for working with their children, and are loaned toys, books and other equipment. Children who need more help may be referred to local physiotherapists or speech therapists. Sandra visited Andrea and her family at home regularly. The goals included teaching Andrea to develop head control, roll from her tummy to her back and back to her tummy, to eat with a spoon, to reach out for toys and to communicate with some vocalizations. Through these first early years Andrea achieved these goals. The most delightful part of this experience was learning to understand Andrea's verbal and facial communications. Her eyes indicated who she wanted to communicate with. Her grunts and cries of disapproval or squeals of joy let you know how she felt about what you were doing For example, one day when her sister and brother were wrestling, Andrea looked at them and screamed until they stopped. When they started up again, so did she. Andrea worked exceptionally hard in the first three years of her life to try to control her muscles and communicate her wishes to people. She always enjoyed the company of others. Andrea testimony to services ANDREA in Grade | ‘When Andrea was nearly three, she began attending Hobbit Hill Children's Centre, a fully-integrated program which serves children in daycare, specialized daycare, nursery school and out-of-school care programs. Andrea's “key teacher”, Maureen Reimer, began helping her to take part in all the children's activities such as circle-time, crafts, outdoor play, mealtimes. Working with Andrea's parents, Reimer developed an “individual program plan” with goals of improving Andrea's eating skills, developing sitting balance and grasp-and-release of objects, enjoying the company of other children and use of pointing with her hands or eyes to make choices and indicate basic needs and wants. Special equipment such as a standing-frame and a unique chair insert, helped Andrea get “into the group” by giving her some freedom to sit and stand with others during activities. “Andrea is an inspiration to us because she tried so hard,” says Cathy Lafortune, director at Hobbit Hill. “Though her severe disabilities limit the amount of practical independence she will have, her self-esteem has grown through being an accepted member of the group, a girl with friends who are happy to help her. This builds a kind of spiritual independence, a strength to reach out to others and to accept the help she needs, a strength to struggle to use and build the abilities she does have. Andrea’s example demonstrates that Hobbit Hill's ‘zero-exclusion policy’ works — that no child is too dis. abled to benefit from being part of our program.” The West Kootenay Infant Development Program and Hobbit Hill Children’s Centre, under the sponsorship of the Kootenay Columbia Child Care Society, are United Way member agencies who depend on public support to meet non-profit operating budgets.

Place Stadium, the second lopsided defeat against Edmonton this season. The Esks 13 July 3 at Edmonton. “Coming off a loss, to get the bad taste out of your mouth, you've got to go out and win a football game.” Matthews said Tuesday at his weekly news conference. “That's the only way you can get rid of that feeling after losing. “We've got to be sure that we don't cheat in any game, that we play hard each week, so we can reach the championship game at the end of the season.” The 9-3 Lions have not lost two consecutive games this season, while the 8-3 Eskimos are 6-0 this year against Western Division opponents. Matthews admitted most of the answers for the Lions will need to come from the offence after the B.C. defence held Edmonton to a net gain of 114 yards and eight first downs in last week's game . PLAN CHANGED “We'll change our game plan a little because we know more about Edmonton now, especially their defence,” Matthews said. “The biggest change has to be that everyone plays a little bit better. “Our defence was great last game. Now the offence has Lo start executing better and put some points on the scoreboard.” Matthews praised the Edmonton defence which sacked B.C. quarterbacks eight times and forced nine Lions to concentrate on offence turnovers, four times on loss of downs. “Edmonton has a well-coached and well-drilled de fence.” he said. “They read their keys well and get pressure on the quarterback “But, if shouldn't be difficult for us to bounce back. Winning is not out of reach. We've got to play without turnovers. Edmonton's defence, led by the charge of defensive linemen Stewart Hill and James Zachery, shut down the Lions last week by harassing B.C. quarterback Roy Dewalt into three interceptions. One was returned 38 yards for a touchdown by cornerback Greg Harding. SECONDARY TOUGH Dewalt has been intercepted 12 times in 12 starts this year and seven of the thefts have come in two games against Edmonton all times,” added Matthews. “Interceptions and fumbles have played a big part in the games against Edmonton.” Matthews refused to blame the B.C. offensive line for breakdowns against the Esks, noting that it wasn't any particular individual who had problems blocking the pass rush. He also noted the play of the B.C. defence against Ed was “the best performance from an intensity level that I've ever seen here.” Matthews said slotback Jan Carinci, who suffered a bip injury against Edmonton, is a probable starter in the rematch. Carinei was injured on the play which put Edmonton defensive back James Bell in hospital with a “Giveaways are an important aspect of the game at serious spinal cord injury Castlegar foursome wins event By CasNews Staff A four-member team of Castlegar golfers won the scramble event Sunday at the annual Christmas in September golf tournament at the Castlegar Golf Club The foursome of Peter Johnstone, Ray Bystrom, Sue Forrest and Heather Pottle shot a 68, the best low gross scored over 18 holes Second place went to the team of Leslie Johansen, Trishia Hereford, Castlegar Golf Club president Jerry Lee, and Lou Lalonde.

The victory, coupled with the Cincinnati Reds’ 6-5 victory over the San Francisco Giants, reduced Hou ston’s magic number for clinching the National League West to two. The Astros open a two-game series tonight with San Franciseo. A victory and a Cincinnati loss to the Atlanta Braves would give Houston its first division title since 1980.
