Political reasoning needs professional anylysis Dear Editor: A strange affliction affecting the memory seems to be pervad- ing the political society of British Columbia. First Premier Harcourt forgets his election Promise to return the Robson Ferry, and then Mayor Moore forgets that the Ministry of Transportation and Highways offered the ferry to the City. Common sense appears to be a casualty also, when one admits that the city has traffic problems but fail to understand that a ferry which diverted 1,500 vehicles per day away from the Kinnaird i nge would relieve traffic congestion. If Her Worship thinks that the Robson Ferry would only add to the conges- tion,how does she feel the new bridge would not?The bridge, if it ever gets built, will carry more traffic to Columbia Avenue than possible via the ferry. It Seems that political reason, more than traffic problems, would benefit from a profession- al analysis. Yours truly, George Stein Robson Glance Sliver City Runs The eleventh annual five and 10 kilometre runs are being held at Gyro park in Trail at 9 a.m. May 10.

Kootenay boys Western Champs “When the pressure was on, I told them we have to win, and they came through.” JASON KEENAN Sun staff Justice! That's the team motto of the new Western Canadian Midget boy's volleyball champs, the Kootenay Midget boy’s Vol- leyball chub. When things got tough in the tournament last weekend, they gathered round coach Pat Hennel- ly, got fired up and let out some championship pressure with a group yell. JUSTICE! And their victory held in it jus- tice. They weren't the top ranked team. They didn’t have the big sponsorships that a lot of the other teams had. No fancy uniforms. Just some T-shirts shared with teams past. No fancy logos on the side of their van. (Which ruined the trip home by breaking down.) Just a plain old rental van. They took in a nine man team while most other teams had full rosters of 12 to 15 players. So we know what they didn’t have. What did they have? A lot of heart, the ability to stand up to heavy pressure, and a coach who lead and inspired them. “When the pressure was on, I told them we have to win, and they “Pat is a great motivator and leader,” said Donna Friml, big- time team supporter and mother of back row specialist Rick Friml. She said that Pat’s intensity on the sidelines brings that extra perfor- mance out of the team. Pat Hennelly, Coach “He gets the kids going as a team,” she added. “They didn’t dare not perform for him.” Hennelly said that the team came out flat in the first three games of the four-game round robin. They beat Manitoba Two 15-4, 15-5, got past Saskatchewan Two 15-4, 8-15, 15-12. There only loss of the toumament was 12-15, 15-10, 12-15 to host team Mission. “They started to play really well in the fourth game,” said Hennelly. At that point it was win or go home. And they weren't quite ready to head home. “They responded to pressure.” They took the number one ranked Calgary 15-12, 15-12. At the end of round-robin play, they were in second place in their was the game against Calgary. The weakest point of the team, the serve reception (passing) clicked in, an they were rolling all the way to the championships. took Alberta Two 15-10 and 16- 14. Friml said that after they lost the first semi-final match to Saskatchewan 9-15, Hennelly told the team they were beating them- selves, and he intimidated them to pull it together. True to form, they came out and took the next two by THE CHAMPS (| to r) standing: Shane Kozak, Theo Latkin, Lee Malinek, Keith Larsen, Brendan Lindsay, Chris Sy’ tant coach Gord Sookavies. Kneelin: Missing: Assistant Coach Theo Friml. was deceptive. The score was stuck at 13-7 for four rotations, and the opposition threatened to rally. Brendan Lindsay was subbed in, and he slipped in a heart-stopping ace serve that bare- ly cleared the net. “After the Saskatchewan game, we pretty much knew we'd won the tourney,” Hennelly said. They faced their old nemesis Victoria in the finals. They knew the team well, having defeated them three weeks ago to win the Provincials. The first match was a heart- stopper. The score sat at 16-all for four or five i and it was any- identical 15-7 tallies. In the third match, the score body’s game. The team got a break when an out ball, that would have given Victoria the win, was ruled in. The Kootenay club got the elu- sive 17th point, and as Don Cher- Ty might say, Victoria was done ike dinner. “They went flat,” Hennelly said. The team went up by five in the second match, and that took the wind out of Victoria's sails. They took the game 15-9. “Everyone was so pumped up after the Saskatchewan game, Victoria was a let down,” he added. “The finals were anti-cli- mactic.” The entire team played a part in the victory, and’ Friml said they can all feel like they won the Western's. Some player highlight: Ryan Ivester, Ryan Tarasoff, manager Mike Latkin, assis- g: Rick Frim!, coach Pat Hennelly, Jamie Hunter. Photo submitted by Donna Fim Tarasoff, power hitter, was unstop- pable against Saskatchewan, and kept on burying the ball; Keith Larsen spent all year practicing his cross-court sweet-spot serve, and it worked like a charm at just the right moment; Rick Friml didn’t miss a serve; Lee Malinek, middle blocker, and Chris Sylvester (win- ner of the teams six-pack award), power hitter, killed every ball they could to help put it away; if the ball went out of play, setter Theo Latkin made sure the ball was in the next play. Latkin was named tourney MVP, and Malinek was named to the all-star team. “Tt still hasn't sunk in,” Hen- nelly said. “We'll realize in about a week what happened.” Local hoopsters B.C. Summer Games bound JASON KEENAN Sun staff There will be five Castlegar girls on the team when the Zone One under-15 girls basketball team hits the courts for the B.C. Summer Games on July 9 in Port Alberni. The five local hoopsters are Shawna Harshenin, from Kin- naird Junior Secondary School, and Stephanie Rezansoff, Lisa Datchkoff, Shannon Gienger, and Treena Goolieff, all from Stanley Humphries. The rest of the play- ers are from Grand Forks, Trail, Genelle, Fruitvale, and Jaffray. The team was selected after a two-day tryout last weekend at Stanley Humphries. Team coach Doug Hickey said the weekend was “very long but very good.” Hickey said the team is strong in the post positions, having some big girls in there. “Overall, our defense is going shooting. Quite an admission for a bas- ketball coach to make, but team won the West Kootenay Zone S Ch i i ber the team has just been at the course in Nakusp last Sunday. They came in at 17- under par, edging Nelson by two strokes. Team members are: Dan Dupuis, Ernie Secco, Scott Johnston, Don Comba, Ted Wallace, Rod Allan, Derek Simister, Primo Secco, and Paul Birukow. Christina Lake won the low net division at 49-under par, while Kaslo were runners-up at 40-under par. CPGA Victory Rossland Trail C.C.'s Dan Dupis has begun his success- ful bid in becoming a CPGA touring professional by win- ning his first "Spalding West Coast Tour” event. Dupuis carded a one-under 71 at the difficult Robert Trent Jones course (Rivershore G & CC) near Kamloops, taking the top prize of $1,550. Dan's Tour School com- mences in mid-May, followed by the Victoria Payless Open and the B.C. Open. Phone 365-5579 put together. “We have lots of work to do on this,” Hickey Besides weekend practices, and Wednesday night open gym prac- tices, Hickey is looking to get a few pick-up games in before July. “We're looking to play against teams from Washington, Alberta, and the Okanagan in some pick- up games,” he added. As well, the team will be playing a few games against the SHSS senior girl's team. The practices and games are important in putting the team together, getting it to gel, because the Summer Games’ rules are a bit different “Nobody sits on the bench for the whole game,” said Hickey. Every player on the team has to play at least one-quarter of the game. SUN STAFF PHOTO / Jason Keenan On the bench, coaches Doug Hickey and Cheryl Closkey discuss the game with the just selected players of the Zone One B.C. Summer Games girls basketball team. “You have to find out which players play best with each other,” he emphasized. “We're not head- ing down there with the idea that we're going to win it.” That’s what Pat Hennelly, coach of the West Kootenay Midget Boy's Volleyball Club, said last week, just before they took the Western Canadian Cham- pionships. Hickey added that, by running the Zone One team, basketball at SHSS will see benefits. The five local players will be on Stanley Humphries teams next year, three on the junior team, and two on the senior team. “Both teams will be stronger since [the girls on the zone team] are playing with the best in the be getting the ball in their hands at least once a month all year, and the repetition and working on skills helps improve the team. “Basketball isn’t something you run for three or four months, and then shut down,” Hickey added. “Basketball in Castlegar has become a 12-month sport.” Best of luck to Hickey and Assistant Coach Cheryl Closkey, and the rest of the team.
