B2 — othe oy News April 11, 1990 Novice's a force in Spokane tourney NOVICE REPS 4 PORTLAND 4 NOVICE REP 6 SPOKANE 5 NOVICE REP 4 TRAIL 2 NOVICE REP 3 KIMBERLEY 6 The Castlegar Senior Novice rep team turned in a record of two wins, a tie and a loss in the annual Safeway tournament. held in Spokane last weekend. The competition was such that one goal separated first from third place in the standings. Castlegar’s performance earned the team ‘five points and third place overall after four hard-fought battles. First place Portland and second place Kimberley both earned six points. Castlegar’s last game against Por- tland saw the locals battle back with two shorthanded goals to tie it at four and then narrowly missed winning it in the dying minutes. Great goalten- ding from Jeff Craig backed up a disciplined effort from the whole team. The first game against Spokane en- ded 6-5 in Castlegar’s favor with the winning goal coming in the last minute of play. Perhaps Castlegar’s best game was a 4-2 win over Trail. Particularly note worthy was the backchecking efforts Davis and Kevin Pacheco, in Castlegar’s third game against Kimberley resulted in their only loss of the tourney. Although they lost 6-3, the second period ended tied at three after Castlegar battled back from a 3-1 deficit. Brian McCormick lead the way for the Castlegar with outstanding stickhandling and playmaking. Brian Watt, Reed Byers and David Bell off, forcing the play and scoring their share of goals. Ryan Carter and Kevin Carlsqn teamed up to hold the blue line while consistently solid positional play and tough work in the corners by defen- cemen Stacy Bublitz and Paul Oster often made the difference for Castlegar. Josh Evin sparked Castlegar with accurate passing and a great breakaway goal while Jason Quiding didn’t let his size keep him from out- skating the larger opposition and for- cing the play throughout the tourney. “This particular event was such a team effort, I think every player deserves some of the credit,’’ said Castlegar co-coach Dean Carter. With Carter, and co-coaches Ken Carlson and Bob Watt offering the guidance behind the bench, and parents encouraging from the stands, Castlegar Novice reps were a force to made agg! ing pay koned with in Spokane. Storming wall in vogue at college By CasNews Staff An overwhelming response to the first, annual storm-the-wall event at Selkirk College April 5 has en- couraged the physical education department at the college to consider expanding the event for next year. “We're planning on dividing the event into various categories to get even more people involved,” says Selkirk athletic director Rob John- son. “We've had a number of requests from different groups in the com- munity who would like to participate, including some of the local businesses which provided prizes this year,” Johnson added. A combination relay, endurance and strength competition, storm the wall, staged by the physical education and student activities departments at CASTLEGA the college, had 20 co-ed teams of six participate. The winning team is determined by total time. A squad from Stanley Humphries secondary school won Thursday in a time of 32:42:18. A 12-foot-high and two-foot-wide Structure, the wall was built by the athletic department at Selkirk for the sole purpose of staging a storm-the- wall competition. Johnson, in whose backyard the wall was constructed last summer, said the event made the wall more than worth the months of effort needed to build it. And now-Johnson and campus rec coordinator Sally Willis are planning to include several new categories next year including an all-female or all- male division, community based and masters divisions, and an iron-person division. “‘We're also thinking about run- ning heats as a playoff system which would lead to a final in which the top teams would have the opportunity to compete in a head-to-head com- petition,’’ said Johnson. “We're very excited about the potential the event has for growth. Mass participation is our ultimate goal, and providing equitable com- petition (by expanding the event) for everyone is the best way to promote that,”” he said.

KJSS stars of future are hot stuff today Castews Photo By ED MILLS Staff Writer There’s a girl’s basketball coach at Stanley Hum- phries secondary school who got a look into the futur- e last weekend and just couldn’t be happier with what he saw. Jack Closkey — something of a legend in high school basketball circles in this province — who coached the SHSS senior girl’s basketball team to its ninth straight provincial appearance in January, took on a different role as bus driver for the Kinnaird Junior secondary school team that won a provincial- type tournament at UBC in Vancouver last weekend. The Grade 7 girls — the only West Kootenay representative at the tourney — strung together a 6-1 record against mainly Victoria- and Vancouver-based competition to win it all. Closkey, who’s wife Cheryl coaches the team, just can’t help but smile, because he knows that in four or five years, he’ll inherit basketball players that have already shown they’re among the best in the province. (There -is no provincial tournament at the Grade 7 level). “*There’s some kids on that team who are going to be some players, I'll tell * said Closkey. ‘‘I can’t xait to get some of them,’’ he added. Cheryl Closkey isn’t looking as far ahead as her husband, but says the Povensial is definitely there in her young team. “*They’re only 12-year- -olds, they’re another four or five years away (from high school),’’ she said. ‘There are definitely three or four kids who are going to be really good but it’s hard to predict right now.”” The coach wasn’t predicting a championship in Vancouver either but the girls surprized her. “*I was really proud of the girls. In fact, in the last three or four games they played better than they’ve ever played.”’ In a gruelling schedule that saw the team play seven games in seven hours Saturday, the KJSS girls only loss came in the third game with a score of 8-6 against Hillside from West Vancouver. Prior to the loss KJSS beat Maple Ridge 12-7 and Maple Lane 16- 8. The fourth game was a 14-12 win over Alouette from Maple Ridge and then the KJSS team's of- fence just overpowered the opposition with 24-4, 20-6 and 14-4 wins over two Surrey teams and Penticton respectively. And through it all, bus driver Jack Closkey just sat back and watched, made some mental notes, and perhaps dreamed of bringing a provincial champion- ship to the high school in a few years. April 11, 1990 EP FIT KEEP FIT KEEP FIT KEEP FIT | EARS GOOD NEWS By MARLENE HABIB The Canadian Press Kicking and throwing a ball may seem like child's play, but countless Canadian youngsters haven't mastered such basic physical skills. “Too often, children get too serious about one Sport too soon, before they've had a chance to develop their basic skills,"’ says Dave Carmichael, a Toronto fitness expert who has researched piaysical activity among children around the world. “*By having kids compete at a high, intense level too soon, there's a good chance they'll be turned off to physical activity forever.'’ While working with Australian sporting authorities for two years in the mid-1980s, Carmichael says he noted a difference between the activity levels of children in Australia and Canada. The concept has proved so successful that the program has been granted $120,000 by the Ontario Ministry of Tourism and Recreation. In conjunction with the Ontario Physical and Health Ed Cc will use the grant to help introduce Sportability to about 4,000 elementary schoolchildren in a total of 40 schools in four Northern Ontario communities — Thunder Bay, Sault Ste. Marie, Sudbury and North Bay. He says it’s important to help young people tune into fitness asa way of life.
