212 Saturday, February 6, 1993 Rugged Oregon coast is a Away back in November, I started to write about our Ore- gon coast (and beyond) odyssey. A memorable journey. I got one installment off but with the interaction of more press- ing events and the misplacing of my journal, the story, de- spite promises and good inten- tions, has been badly delayed. The journal is still missing, but I shall continue. We left Vancouver, you may recall, with only a handful of passengers, our driver Don, Maverick guide Pat, our drily witty banker lady Joan, and some high expectations. By the time we had cleared customs at Blaine and the duty free shop our 46 passenger bus was completely full. By the time we had reached Poulsbro, across Puget Sound from Seattle, and for our first day’s stop, we had spoken to most of the other passengers, thanks to the ef- forts of the tireless Pat. Meanwhile roads, bridges, rivers, mountains and even lit- tle towns had taken on charac- ter and personality as we , « 2 aA Reflections and Recollections John CHARTERS| looked left, front and right in response to her enthusiastic commentary. The stop at Fort Clapstop, the far west limit of the his- toric 1804 Lewis and Clark ex- pedition which later so great- ly influenced the U.S. claims to the Washington-Oregon terri- tories was a good start for the heritage minded. The expedi- tion had had a miserable stay, 106 days of rain in 112 days and probably would not have survived had it not been for the efforts of Sacawajawa, the Na- Men receive invite from Christian Women’s Club The Castlegar Christian Women’s Club meetings are non-de- nominational, are varied between luncheon or dinner meetings and have very special meetings several times during the year so that they may appeal to all in our community. Only once a year do the Castlegar Christian Women’s Club invite men to join in a special supper evening at the Fireside Motor Inn. This Feb. 12 at 7 p.m., the Christian Women’s Club have planned a program to appeal to men. A special feature on the “Art of Photography” will be pre- sented by Ken Ferch of Vogue Studios. Local vocalists Car- olynne Mason, Judy Runions and Chick Cram will provide mu- sical interlude and the special inspirational speaker, Gary Toy- ota, will be travelling from Cranbrook to share his total life pic- ture.

Blackjack nets funds The Blackjack Loppet, held on Jan. 30 in Rossland, raised over $1,730 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. More than 95 cross country skiers enjoyed mild, sunny weather and a challenging 40-kilometre course as well as Recreational and Jackrabbit courses. The top fundraiser was Walt Kanigan of Castlegar who raised $450. Money raised by the skiers through pledges will go to Heart and Stroke Foundation programs aimed at Canada’s No. 1 killer — heart disease and stroke.

It is ironic also that the site of such an important was to- tally lost to the American gov- ernment over the years an only recently researched and restored by dedicated volun- teers. This, too, has a familiar ring. At the request of the pretty, young, buckskin-clad Ranger guide, I played the part of one of the expedition frontiersmen for a group of visitors and as volunteer straight man I sup- plemented her admittedly in- experienced spiel with com- ments on the contents of a bag of flints, skinning knife, bullet mold, pipes, etc. together with observations on rations and weather. I don’t think Bunny was too impressed with either of us. The third day's stop was the Inn of the Spanish Head in Lincoln City, Oregon. An ex- cellent location but a totally in- competent staff—a strong con- tender for the Fawlty Towers fiasco trophy. The coast continued to fas- cinate, however, with scores of PASTOR: BOB MARSH Sunday School 9:45 a.m. Morning Worship 11 a.m. Evening Services 6:30 p.m. For program information please phone 365-3430. —EVERYONE WELCOME — LL TES CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH 809 Merry Creek Rd. - Ph. 365-3430 2224-6th Avenue 10 a.m. Worship Mid-Week Studies & Youth Activities Me, Ph. 365-8337 NY REV.

Excellent shopping in Newport, though, where Bunny made sure to remind me of an earlier anniversary gift promise and followed it up with the purchase of (on my behalf) of two pairs of very at- tractive marine earrings. The in-between tour lunch stop at the famous Tillamook cheese factory (started by Canadians, I believe) intro- duced us to generous helpings of the best ice cream that I have eaten anywhere. Didn't have room for the cheese.

The next afternoon brought more rugged coastline land the a visit to a myrtle wood factory. They claimed that myrtle was exclusive to the area, but since it is mentioned in the Old Tes- tament and grows in Califor- nia, under another name, I have my doubts. It does, how- ever, make a beautiful product and the bag of chips that I bought can still fill a room with its heady aroma. The Beachcomber Inn was our stop that night but was not up to standard so we went out to dinner and met a delightful couple, Gene and Nora Audias, recently retired and enroute to anew home in Florence.

Despite holding the Bruins’ leading scorer to just one assist, the Rebels fell to the league- leaders from Grand Forks, 7-5. Jonathan Green SPORTS REPORTER The charge was not playing a 60-minute hockey game and the Castlegar Rebels plead guilty at the Community Complex Tuesday. Hosting the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League-leading Grand Forks Border Bruins, the Rebels turned it on too late in a 7- 5 loss, a score that flattered them. Trailing 7-2 F "KOOTENAY INTERNATIONAL | with 2:30 left JUNIOR HOCKEY LEAGUE in the game, the locals put three past 5 38 a ie have 22 points, one better than Nelson No. 4. Castlegar No. 2 is third with 15 points, while No. 3 has 13 and No. 1 has seven. Those kind of goals never help a team.” — Rebels coach arry Sauer ona Bruins Tuesday.

Spending time on the ice when he should have been in the penalty box, Brian Colbourn put Grand Forks up 1-0 at 11:45. Just over three minutes later, Jason Watts’ + @ 43 eat we 22 a1. Sant oRroooe s ™ 3885 pease shot from an impossible angle hit Rebel goalie Vaughan Welychko’s stick and bounced in to make it 2-0 at 8:31. . Unable to solve Scherck, the Rebels went into the dressing room down by two. __ Sauer said take away those two goals and it’s still a scoreless game. “Everyone kind of went ‘Geez,” he said. “Those kind of goals never help a team.” Coming out for the second, Castlegar looked a lot like the team that had gone in after the first and it showed at 17:15. Given all the time he needed, Bruin Ryan Osachoff cruised in and fired a high backhand to make it 3-0 on the power play. Three minutes later, Tom Maryschak won a face-off just outside the Rebels blue line, walked in and fired a low slap shot past We- lychko to make it 4-0 at 14:18. Undaunted, the Rebels didn’t die and solved Scherck on a beauty with just over six minutes left in the period. Kevin Leiman sent Mark Graff in on a breakaway and the Rebel forward made no mistake, making the Bruin goalie look he had his eyes closed at 6:36. But as nice as it was, Graff’s goal would be the only one the Rebels would get for the next 12 minutes. Trailing 4-1 after two, Sauer said coming back wasn’t as Herculean as it sounded. He said had the team had a little more time, things could have been different. J “Three goals isn’t a lot of goals,” he said. “We just basically ran out of time.” Back for more, Osachoff made it 5-1 ona power play 12 seconds into the third. _ Still on the power play, the Bruins widened it to 6-1 on Neil Graham’s goal at 17:08, the one that proved to be the game-winner. With nowhere to go but up, the Rebels seni to hur four at 14:49 when Jesse Old- am score’ KIJHt SCORING LEADE! from Todd {As of Feb. 4) is Doyle on the power play. Osachoff completed the hat trick at 11:52, the final goal before Castlegar’s late trio. Sauer said rallying to close the gap bodes well for the team’s next game tonight in Nelson. “It was nice to see us come out and finish the game off — not having the give-up attitude,” he said. The Rebels can climb into a tie with Nelson for third in the KIJHL West with a win tonight. Their next home game is Tuesday, when the Rossland Warriors pay their final visit of the year.
