IN MENORY Peter Zaitsoff Peter Zaitsoff passed away on Jan. 22, 1993. Mr. Zaitsoff was born on June 18, 1909 in Verigin, Sask.

In October, 1943, he moved the family to Nelson, where he worked briefly in con- struction until Jan. 1, 1944 when he became an appren- tice shoemaker. He soon after bought a shoe repair business on Baker Street in Nelson which he operated until June 1947, when he bought the Lion’s Head Store and moved his family to Robson. In 1952, he started as a deck hand on the Castlegar ferry. Soon after, on the recommendation of Stanley Humphries, he was appointed captain and he worked for 22 years until June 1974. Upon retirement he received a Meritious Award from the Department of Highways presented by former-pre- mier Dave Barrett. Mr. Zaitsoff was very proud of this award and justifi- ably so. From the time he went to work on the ferry, his wife managed the store until 1960. In 1964, they moved into 809 4th St. Castlegar where he lived till his passing.

He was very organized and neat with everything having its place. He loved horses, gardening, photography and shad worked many hours making wooden ladles and spoons. He loved people and could often be seen standing talking to friends on the street. He valued history and loved to tell stories about the family recalled from his youth. He possessed an exceptional memory enabling him to recall intricate details. < He had spent much time and energy over the last nine years collecting information and pictures for the family tree, motivated by a desire to leave for his family a record of their proud heritage.

He is survived by his son Joe Zaitsoff and wife Mary of Castlegar, his son Phil Zaitsoff and wife Evelyn of Whitehorse, Yukon, his daughter Diana Paluck and hus- band Mervin of MacKenzie, B.C., his brother Charlie Zaitsoff of Winnipeg Man., his grandchildren Janet, Sandra, Lisa, Bonnie, Danny, Terri, Lonnie and Lee, and his great grandchildren Brooke, Lane and Courtland. , Mr. Zaitsoff will be sorely missed by friends and fami- y. — NY Castlegar Savings Credit Union is able to assist you with getting the best return for your investment dollars.

LoclSPORTS Rockers fall in final of Realty tournamen Wi Rutland comes to town and takes home annual Rocker In- vitational with six-point win over host Stanley Humphries Jonathan Green SPORTS REPORTER The Stanley Humphries senior boys basketball team got a taste of some Kelowna basketball over the weekend and it didn’t quite agree with them. Squaring off with Rutland in the final of the Castlegar Realty Rock- er Invitational Saturday, the Rockers dearly missed starters Dan Kooznetsoff and Ed Furlan and it showed in a 62-56 loss. Coach John Ritchie said the absence of both Furlan and Kooznet- soff couldn't be understated. “That’s two starters right there,” he said. “One’s our best board man and the other’s our best defender. That made a big difference.” Things looked good for B.C.’s No. 6-ranked AA squad as the Rock: ers opened the tournament with a 108-19 whipping of Princeton Friday, | followed by a 58-51 come-from-behind win over Calgary’s Queen Eliz- | abeth Saturday. Ritchie said a gradual shift to a fast-break offence as the game wore | on wore Queen Elizabeth down. “Our strategy was to play up-tempo,” he said. “When we run, it’s very hard to defend against. Failing to score in the first five-and-a half minutes, the Rockers found F themselves trailing 16-7 after one quarter against the Cowtown squad. Putting up a defensive wall, the locals held QE to six points in the sec- ond quarter to close the gap to 22-21 by the half. Staying in the defensive mode, the Rockers took their first lead four F seconds into the second half, a lead that would see-saw back and forth for almost the whole quarter. By the fourth quarter, Stanley Humphries had a 42-38 lead and nev- er looked back. Rutland, meanwhile, was enjoying similar success on the other end of the draw, dumping Kaslo’s J.V. Humphries 71-60 Friday and Nelson’s L.V. Rogers 80-78 in a nail-biter Saturday. Meeting in the final Saturday night, the Rockers had the home crowd } . behind them but couldn’t put it to use. Unable to penetrate Rutland’s tall defence, the hosts were forced to shoot from the perimeter and it proved to be their downfall. Despite being minus Furlan and Kooznetsoff, Ritchie was optimistic heading into the final. “I thought we had a chance to win, we just didn't hit the outside shot,” : he said. The Rockers next action is tomorrow when Cranbrook’s Mt.

They lost. Entertaining the Salmo Falcons, the Rockettes struggled early and never recovered, dropping a 44-39 decision. Wendy Closkey was top scorer with 15, while Rhonda | Dawes and Treena Goolieff each had eight. Coach Jack Closkey said his squad’s lackluster performance in the warm-up was a sign of things to come. “I wasn’t really surprised we lost,” he said. “We were really flat before the game. “We got down early and stayed down.” One of the top 10 A teams in B.C., the Falcons were one of the tougher opponents the Rockettes had faced lately and Closkey said it showed. He said routinely beating teams by in excess of 30 points cost them when it came to playing stiffer competition. “Too many easy games and you become complacent,” he said. The Rockettes next action is this weekend at the Fulton Tournament in Vernon. ==" Tum time intomoney. 533 Ask about RRSPs at "T-Bill rates". The RRSPeople
