AB CASTLEGAR NEWS, January 27, 1982 Library business booms By JUDY WEARMOUTH Castlegar Librarian Despite the desperately « erowded conditions under which the Castlegar Library has operated over the past year, the 1981 annual stat- istics prove that the library business is booming. A total of 66,776 books is circulated throughout the year and an average of 60 . new members joined each month. With the.addition of 1,839 books for 1981, at present the library has hold- ings of 26,968 books, housed in two branches. With the aid of a provincial government grant, a new service for chil; petition winners their prizes before his reading. Our local Young Canada Book Week was marked by the library visits of over 300 elementary school children, a book sale and a fine-free week. Entry for the book- mark competition was almost overwhelming; the overall winning entry was printed and is in use at the library. As a build-up to the re- gional library referendum campaign, the crowded conditions were publicized by a booth at the Lions Club Trade Fair and a float in the Sunflower Fest. parade. All through the year, dren was initiated last year. Children from Hobbitt Hill Special Needs and ‘Silver Birch School now visit the Castlegar Branch ona month- ly basis for a program of stories, fun, and learning games. The regular pre- school story hours continued with high registration in both branches and the quarterly pupet shows were as popular as ever. A new program for toddlers was advertised and as the response was good, a Toddlers Storytime will begin this month on Tues- days at the Castlegar Branch at 10 a.m. The library celebrates two special book weeks per year. The National Book Festival is sponsored by the Canada Council and Castlegar has continued its active partici- pation in this ‘event by in have worked. library's’ very hard. to prepare the campaign and they suffered through setbacks and delays ~ with remarkable good humor, * — they are to be congrat-. will be ulated on their dedication to this community. ©, Our willing band of volun- teers who assist the Ubrar- ians throughout the year were thanked at the dinner held in their honor before the Annual” General Meeting. The Ubrary considers itself fortunate to be able to tap such a willing unpaid labor force and could not operate without it. A special award was made to Glady Manahan, marking her 80 years of un- broken volunteer service to the library.

The key to the game was 0 di fashion by winning three games and losing only one, a tough three-point heart- breaker, at the Mary Hill Tournament in Vancouver. In their first game against George Pearkes from Port Coquitlam the Rockettes op- ened well, running up an 18-4 lead but ran out of steam-as the Pearkes girls came char- ging back to narrow the mar- gin to 24-21 at halftime. The teams exchanged bas- kets in the second half until Pearkes pulled ahead 32-31 with about six minutes to play. : Acopule of clutch hoops by Linda King and Julie Per- ehudoff put the locals ahead to stay and a late full court press by Pearkes failed to ereate enough turnovers. The final score was 39-34 for Castlegar. King finished. the game with 16 points while Patty Plotnikoff had nine, Perehu-. doff and Debbie Boolinoff six ints.

While their opponents in this game, the Mission Road- runners were full marks for their 95-32 victory, these BET: were perhaps, several rea- sons for the Rockettes’ loss. “I think everyone realized after the game that they'had not \played as well as they were capable of playing” said Coach Doug Pilatzke. “Everyone seemed to agree that their minds were elsewhere and that they had not done a good job of pre- re. Paring themselves mentally for the game.” Mission jumped ‘off to a 10-4 lead only to have the Rockettes pull ahead 11-10 at quartertime. Mission, again pulled ahead 20-15 before a gin to three points at half-” time. Mission, hungry to ad- vance to the championship, ran up a 30-20 lead before the Rockettes began their fourth quarter comeback. _ A 15-footer by Tanya Rog- ers with one minute left pulled the Castlegar girls to within three points, but the ‘teams exchanged hoops in the final minute and Mission successfully killed off the last 28 seconds to win 35-82. In the consolation final, the locals squared off once again against George'Pearkes who had lost narrowly to host Hill Once ‘again it required’ a concerted effort from every- one to wrest a victory from a tired. but hustling Pearkes crew: The score was deadlocked at 88 at the quarter and Pearkes led 19-18 at halftime. . The Rockettes pre-season conditioning program -began to show its benefits as.once again the girls pulled away in the second half.
