THE LIGHTER SIDE

_ Fr.

Ann
Landers

Syndicated
Columnist

Dear Ann Landers; 'I recently
purchased my first home — a
condominium on a lake — and
am quite pleased with it

I have not had an opportunity to
meet my neighbors yet. Most of
them are so quiet that one neVer
knows if they are at home. The
occupants of the unit above
mine are quite another story

I am not so much concerned
with the fact that they walk like
elephants as I am with their
nocturnal and early morning
habits, which often disturb my
sleep. Their bed, situated
directly above mine, squeaks —
a lot. Needless to say, I know
when, how often and how long,
if you get my drift. Sometimes,
there are other muffled sound
effects as well.

I am not a prude, Aan, but if I
were in their place, I would be
embarrassed to death and would
appreciate being told.

Is there any delicate way of let-
ting my neighbors know that I
can hear them without coming
off as a killjoy and alienating
them? Or would it be better to
keep my mouth shut and be glad
they don’t fight? — Unwilling
Party in Washington State

Dear Party: You can (and
should) approach your neigh-
bors about the problem without
getting too graphic. Simply say
your bedroom ceiling, which is
their floor, is made of such
flimsy material that you can
hear every word they utter and
every step they take. Unless
they are morons, they will real-
ize that you can also hear a few
other things

You might suggest that they
consider thicker carpeting. (It
sounds to me as if they have
NO carpeting, but you shouldn’t

accume thic |

A less expensive solution would
be to suggest they get the bed
fixed — or you can buy a set of
earplugs.

Drugs are easy to get, easy to
use and even easier to get
hooked on. If you have ques-
tions about drugs, you need

To the victors go the spoils! The Castlegar Rebels successfully defended their KIJHL Division Championship with a

4-2 win in Grand Forks last Saturday night. The Rebels now wait to face the North champs.

JEFF GABERT : :
Sun Sports

The Castlegar Rebels are certainly not alcoholics but they do seem
addicted to drinking from the chalice of victory. For the second year in
a row the Rebels were crowned Division champions.

The Rebels won the South Division title last Saturday night in Grand
Forks with a 4-2 win over the Border Bruins in game six of the seven
game seyies. It was a hard fought victory but the bottom line was the
Rebels Came up with the goals when they had to and the Border Bruins
couldn't solve the riddle Rebel goaltender Mike Kooznetsoff's glove.

Interesting enough, things did not look good for the Rebels earlier in
the week. Their weekend series at home only netted them one win and
they went into Grand Forks without home-ice advantage. They fought
hard in Grand Forks on Tuesday night-and came out with an impressive
8-4 win thanks to a ination of strong ding from J.C. Moore
and a good power play.

The following night saw a minor catastrophe occur as the bus broke
down on the way to Grand Forks and the game didn’t start until 9:30.

And what a game it was.

Six ptriods of action that was non-stop on the icé, although many
people's hearts in the stands probably did. When the dust settled the
Bruins came out with a goal from Greg Wilkinson in the-third over-
time pefiod to take a 4-3 win with them to Castlegar on Friday. The
win should have demoralized the Rebels but Rebel coach Garry Sauer
steadied his troops and reminded them that they regained the impor-
tant home-ice advantage.

“The big thing in our minds was always home-ice advantage,’ said
Saucer. “The game three win was a big one and the gruelling triple over-
time was certainly draining. But we just kept talking mainly about
home ice advantage. We worked all year long to get it and now we had
the opportunity to take advantage of it.”

And take advantage is certainly what they did in game five on Friday
night at the Complex.

Kevin MacGillvray opened the scoring only 53 seconds into the
game after taking a beautiful pass from Wade Burt and slipping it past
the sprawled Bruin goalie. “Big Mac” was a force throughout the series
despite being hampered by a sore elbow as he combined tenacious
defence with the occasional scoring touch.

Mike Hunter added a power play goal to put the Rebels up by two
and then Jay Herm of the Bruins was let loose on the power play to nar-
row the margin to one goal.

Little did the Border Bruins know but that would be the last goal they
would score in the Castlegar Recreation Complex this season. The sec-
ond period was all Castlegar with Nino Dacosta and Derek Read getting
goals. The third was no different as Vince Antignani scored on an unbe-
lievable solo effort while the Rebels were shorthanded and Grady
Moore put home an empty net goal to put the game out of reach.

The key to the victory was penalty killing and the man between the
pipes. The Rebels had 152 penalty minutes on the night yet the Bruins
only managed the lone power play goal. In fact, the Rebels were two
men short for the last five minutes and 55 seconds as Vince Antignani
and Brent Neumann were ejected for fighting.

But when things were in doubt K ff came up big, stopping an
amazing 50 shots over three periods. He faced 24 and 20 in the second
and third periods alone.

Kooznetsoff’s performance in game five made him an easy choice to
start game six in Grand Forks last Saturday night. Most people predict-
ed a close game along the lines of the six period Wednesday night affair
and they weren't disappointed through the early going.

The teams traded goals in the first period with the Bruins scoring
first and then Todd Doyle tying it up on a backhander that eluded a
sprawled Brad Britton.

Wade Burt put the Rebels ahead in the second after the Rebels came
out of the dressing room strong and looked to dominate. But the Bruins
refused to die and they tumed on a little burst of their own in the latter
half of the period that had the Rebels scrambling. Kelly English scored
a goal for the Bruins with 7:35 remaining in the period to keep the
teams tied going into the third

And just like game five, when the chips were down #27, Vince
Antignani, came through.

It wasn’t as pretty as his game five goal but Antignani’s goal off of a
juicy rebound after a shot by Craig Moisey was just what the doctor
ordered. It was a power play goal that came with 12 minutes left in the
game but you could almost see the energy drain from the legs of the
Bruins and the legs of the Rebel players fill up.

It was all Rebels from then on with Casey Grant scoring with just
2:39 left to seal the victory. The Grant goal capped an amazing third
period for the Rebels.

“The key to the game was the third period and it was probably the
best period we played all year,” said Sauer. “We wanted to keep the
puck in their end and we did that. Guys weren’t doing it all themselves
and they all came together. Plus when you can_taste“victory, you're
always working harder. .

“And again we had some awesome goaltending.” 7

Kooznetsoff played another-remarkable game and according to
Sauer, goaltending was the difference in the series.

“J.C. [Moore] was tired so we thought we'd come back with Kooz,”
said Sauer. “He was outstanding in game five and he was awesome in
game six. When guys have confidence in their goalie it helps out a lot
because they know there's a guy back there who'll do the job. Overall, I
thought our goaltending was a lot stronger than theirs.”

Rebel captain Todd Doyle has now been on two division winning
clubs that won the title on the road. He’s happy with the win but excited
about the next series.

“Tt would have been nice to win the title at home for once but it was
also nice to rub it in a little,” said Doyle. “But now we're really looking
forward to the next series.

“Last year we were a bit cocky going into the final but this year we
know we will have to work hard to beat whoever comes out of the North.”

Sauer really doesn’t have a pi be North O) and
Sicamous but he does lean a little towards the team from Enderby since
they are winless against the Sicamous Eagles this season.

“We've got confidence against either of them,” said Sauer. “But we
do match up well against Enderby. Besides we lost to them in last
year’s final and a lot of the vets in the dressing room are already talking
about a little revenge.

“The big thing again is home-ice advantage. If you win all your
home games you win the series. We play well at home and we're play-
ing good right now so we're confident.”

At press time the North division series was tied at two wins each and
a time has not been set for the opening game of the final. Sauer hopes to
be playing Friday night at the Complex but that has yet to be finalized.
