Montreal Expos general manager Murray Cook said
Tuesday, is always a downer for him.

“But a day later, you're ready to go again, to start
working for next season.”

The first moves for next season, mainly of the house-
keeping variety, were already under way. The Expos
placed outfielder Tony Scott, signed by the Expos as a
free agent after he was released by Houston Astros, on
irrevocable waivers. Scott hatted .264 in 45 games with
Montreal.

The Expos also added three players to their 40-man

AT _ WHITEWATER

Experience for students

With the chill of winter in the air, skiers’ thoughts turn
to the white stuff that is starting to blanket the surrounding
hills.

Students enrolled in Selkirk College's Ski Resort
Operation and Management Program (SROAM) are no
different.

The 1-month certificate program emphasizes practical
training and field work and includes a 3' month ski
industry work semester.

Recognizing the link between Whitewater ski area and
the need for students to gain practical experience, SROAM
instructor Peter Wood has volunteered the services of his
class in assisting the struggling ski hill to resume operations.

SROAM class members are currently engaged in a

h ign designed to boost pre- member.
ship sales. Student volunteers are staffing the Whitewater
membership drive office located on Baker Street in Nelson,
next to Triathlete World.

The class is also conducting a marketing survey of
members pertaining to operation and promotion of the ski
areas.
“The ski area management class has been extremely
helpful to Whitewater, especially in view of our current
financial] situation,” said Russ Bouree, vice-president of the
Whitewater Ski Society. “A lot of the jobs they are doing
just wouldn't get done — that’s all. The class is about the
only public volunteer input to the society at the present
time.”

Other projects in aid of Whitewater are planned to give
students practical experience in various aspects of ski area
operation.

Reconditioning of the T-bar spring boxes, which are the
recoil devices attached to the cable, is a high priority this
fall. Another big job the class will tackle is the inspection,
@aning and |dbrication of the main cable on the summit
chairlift. This would include non-destructive testing if it is
required by the Ministry of Transport. The testing,
requiring X-rays of the cable, determines internal wear of
of the main chairlift cable.

A general clean-up of the lift and lodge area is also
planned to tidy the facility and reclaim surplus material

Selkirk College students were also active during the
summer on the area’s behalf. The SROAM students over.
hauled the area's snow packers during the five-week heavy
duty mechanical and maintenance component of their
course.

Over the past three or four years Whitewater's packers
have been brought down to the college's shop to be main
tained and serviced by the students under the direction of
the heavy mechanical instructors.

“This year students refurbished the tracks of the area's
two Thiokol packers. They also performed electrical system
maintenance, inspected and tested the cooling systems, ran
compression tests on the engines and refurbished and brake
systems,” Wood said.

“Aside from the service to Whitewater, the students

get exposure on a great

training aid,” he said. “These

machines are a bit exotic. Their extensive use of hydraulics,
electrical and mechanical components makes their main-
tenance a valuable training aid,” Wood added.

The students continue to utilize the hill as a practical

training ground and perform valuable community service at
the same time. During the course of the season students will
be on the hill for avalanche training, ski area terraine and
analysis, area planning, lift training arid through thefener-
osity of Bombardier and DMC, students receive 10 hours of

packer training on modern packing equipment,

“The benefits derived by the class in having a superb
area like Whitewater in close proximity to the college are
about equally matched by the energy and enthusiasm
displayed by the students in their activities involving

Whitewater,” said Wood.

Roll aerobics
hits Canada

WINNIPEG (CP) — Aer:
obics-on-wheels is the latest
trend to ride in the fast-lane
of popular exercise workouts.

Called roll-aerobics, the
tummy-tightening, thigh
stretching activity has been
popular in the United States
for some time but has just
started catching on fn main.
stream Canada.

“It's fun and it’s different
and it gets people out skat.
ing, which is a really good
exercise,” said Winnipeg in-
structor Cathy Sutton.

The first part of a typical
roll-aerobies. program con.
sists of a regular aerobic
dance workout set to music.

But part way through,
class members don their
skates and head out onto the
floor for exercises.

Classes wind up with a fast
skate around the rink, fol-
lowed by some stretching to
ward off stiff muscles.

Sutton said using roller
skates is like wearing leg
weights.

Each skate weighs about
2%» kilograms, making roll
aerobics similar to a weight
lifting program when the
participants are doing their

raises.

“It looks easier than it is,”
said Sutton, who started the
first classes in Winnipeg ear
ier this month.

Sutton insists there is little
danger involved in the ac.
tivity. About half of the par

whose enthusiasm for the
traditional workout has
faded, roll-aerobies provides
a new thrill.

“It's really different,” said
Chris Mankelow, one of the
people in Sutton’s elass.

“This is much nicer,” said
another participant. “I found
the old acrobles kind,of mon-
otonows.” 7

Among those who would
like to see roll-aerobics take
off are roller rink managers
such as Fred Verity, of the
Winnipeg Roller Rink.

Two of the city’s five roller
rinks closed their doors this
year and interest in roller
skating has been waning
since it hit a peak in 1980.

Interest in roller skating,
Verity says, tends to run in
cycles and “this is the worst”
he’s seen in some years.

There are 2,000 roller rinks
in the U.S. and interest in
roll-aerobics is such that a
national magazine, based in
Lincoln, Neb., has been laun.
ched.

The days start early for Brenda Spence. Het
husband commutes to Cominéo in Trail, about «

~ drive from the couple's Salmo home, and the children, ages 9 4

and 11, must be readied for school.

Spence’s day has only just begun. This 38-year-old
homemaker must get herself off to work also. She holds
down two part-time jobs that occupy 20 hours of het week.

Her involvement in church and community affairs
account for a good deal of her remaining time, yet Spence
has found time to earn her beginning English college credits
without sacrificing her concerns for her home and
community. How?

Without leaving town, Spence enrolled in the credit
course she wanfed through Selkirk College's Distance
Education program.

Extension centres located throughout the West Koot-
enay region gre the focal point for post-secondary
educational homestudy programs. Students may obtain
counselling or discyss course content with instructors or
tutors before enrolling in any program.

Norman McCarvell, 31, has just drastically altered his
lifestyle. He quit his job with the sheriff's service in Nelson
and enrolled in college.

McCarvell couldn't see much future being a sheriff, so
with the support of his wife, he enrolled in the Allied Health
program at Selkirk College last semester — quite a step for a
guy who's been out of school for 12 years.

He turned to distance education for help in making the
change from the workforce to full-time study. “It’s quite a
shock to the system to go back to school after so many years
away. It takes some getting used to,” said McCarvell.

Along with the three courses he was enrolled in at
school, McCarvell used distance education to complete his
beginning English requirement on his own time, in the
evenings and on weekends

“I wasn't sure how loaded down with work I'd be from
my other courses, so on the advice of my English instructor
Don Wilson, I tried the distance education English
composition offering.” said MeCarvell.

“It proved to be excellent preparation for future full
time study — a good transition from the workforce,” he said.

Full-time study for Spence is still some years away
“I've always been sorry that I never went to college,” said
Spence, “but I plan on going on with my education once the
kids are a little older.”

Spence admits it wasn’t easy to take a homestudy
English course. She has been out of school for a number of
years and she found that “mental attitude is the biggest
hurdle to overcome.”

Her “gung-ho” attitude at the start began to lose
momentum part way through the course. She then confessed
to the mistake of letting the course drag out past its
completion date.

“Trying to do assignments and study in the summer
when the kids were out of school was really hard,” said
Spence.

“My tutor was very sensitive to my needs and was very
supportive in helping me finish the course.”

Spence said she missed the classroom environment. She
missed the feedback and exchange of ideas that the
eléssroom ailows, but found her weekly sessions with her
tutor to be the sounding board she needed

McCarvell too, felt he benefitted by having a tutor who
was supportive and knowledgeable about the instructor's
expectations for the course

“I don’t think the program could have been successful
without the tutor,” he said =

Tutors play an integral part in the distance education
program. Operating out of each of Selkirk College's
extension centres, course tutors are readily available with
help for home-study students.

In McCarvell's case the experience he had with home
study served to raise his self-esteem and gave him the
confidence to meet the challenge of full-time studies head on.

Spence’s ambition is to be a writer. In the meantime,
until that dream can be pursued full-time, Spence is making
headway toward her goal. By chipping away at her basic
college requirements, Spence is banking her home-earned
college credits toward the day when her full-time studies can
begin. This will enable her to streamline her time away at
school — putting her that much closer to her ultimate goal

“Sure it’s a slow way to go,” said Spence, “but it’s a lot
better than just dreaming about it for the next five years.”

Distance education offers credit courses in Biology.
Math, History, Sociology, Psychology and English litera
ture.

Upon enrolment, students receive a study guide, texts
and course packages by mail. Course presentations may
utilize telephone tutorials, videotapes, cassettes, Knowledge
Network programming and in some instances, gropu
seminars. Seminars are usually conducted at one of Selkirk
College's many extension centres, but occasionally students
are asked to attend on-campus sessions

“Distance education courses are an ideal way for mature
students to re-enter the educational mainstream without
getting wet all at once. Many returning students appreciate
the opportunity to earn credit without getting in over their
heads,” said Craig Andrews, Distance Education coordin
ator.

“While this approach to post-secondary education may
seem somewhat slow, it does have the advantage of offering
the most economic educational opportunities possible,” said
Andrews.

Tuition for courses remains the same whether taken on
or off campus, but students realize greater savings by not
having to commute to distant campuses, thereby saving
transportation, meal and student activity costs

While most distance education offerings are underway
now, Andrews is quick to encourage students to consider
late enrolment

“It’s not unusual for student enrolment to continue for
the first few weeks into the program.” he said. “The only
courses that present problems with late enrolment are the
Psychology courses.

“Some important material is aired over the Knowledge
Network and it's important to view that in sequence. We do
have tapes, but it is better to start early.”
