It’s hardly ever an image of a 15-year-old. Tamara Rezansoff, a pret- Aquanauts win Robson meet Club's top swimmers place 12th in Kelowna meet By CasNews Staff The Castlegar Aquanauts went their own separate ways last weekend and came home with vastly different results for their efforts. While a dozen of the team’s top swimmers were outnum- bered and outgunned at the meet in Kel , the ty and girl, doesn’t like to talk pony her arthritis. Not because its too difficult or painful to put into words. But because she doesn’t want to make too big a deal of it. “I don’t find the use of talking.about it,” she says. For her, arthritis was like an unwelcome acquaintance come back for a visit after being gone 13 years. She had it when she was a baby and all of a student, for no appar- ent reason, it returned last fall. Rezansoff says its a dull pain, that she dulls more with two or three times a day doses of aspirins. It’s worse in the mornings whén the swelling makes those first few steps after get- ting out of bed an agonizing rest of the team stayed closer to home and won the Robson River Otters meet at the CoraLea Schuepfer Pool. And.while the A swimmers got a couple of outstanding per- formances on their way to a 12fh place finish in the24-team Kelowna meet, it was the ath- letes in Robson who stole the limelight on this occasion. No fewer than 13 A son Neptunes, Beaver Valley Dolphins and Greenwood. Graeme Redekop set a Rob- son pool record with 1:04.04 in the 80-metre freestyle on his way to the gold medal in divi- sion 2 boys. Brian Roberts had three sec- ond place finishes in five events to get the gold in division 5 boys while Jill Imrie was a silver medalist in division 5 girls. The Aquanauts swept the golds in division 4 with Jamie Jmieff taking it for the boys and Selena Fodor for the girls. Jmieff won the-40-metre freestyle, butterfly ‘and 80-metre freestyle and finished second in the 40-metre freestyle, while Fodor was first in the 40-metre le and b second picked up medals as the club won by almost 100 points over Colville Valley. A much smaller club than most who attended the meet, the River Otters had their best placement of the year with 284 points and third place. The Aquanauts had- 509 points, while Colville collected 412. Grand Forks was fourth with 161 points, then came the in the 40 -metre butterfly and breaststroke and first in the 80- metre freestyle. David Roberts finished right behind his teammate for the sil- ver medal in division 4. Justin Kanigan won the 40- metre backstroke and had a sec- ond in the 40-metre freestyle on his way to the gold in divisiom 1 boys while Justin Balahura won the silver. ineluded Alisha Pion with a sil- ver in division 1 girls, Mike Angrinon with a silver in divi- sion 2 boys, Angela Briggeman and Laura Imrie with a silver and bronze respectively in divi- sion 3 girls and Rae Carter with a bronze in division 6 girls. In Kelowna, meanwhile, Aimie Chernoff sent the mes- sage that she could be the swim- to beat in the provincial championships this year. Chernoff won the 100-metre butterfly and was third in the 50 and 100-metre freestyle, third in the backstroke and fourth in the breaststroke to win the overall silver medal against some of the province’s best swimmers in division six girls. Neil Jones won Castlegar’s only other medal at the meet with three third place finishes and three fourths, for the bronze medal in division 7 boys. Besides Chernoff, Mario Fehrenberg was the ‘only Aqua- naut to win a race as he won his specialty, the 100 metre back- stroke in division 7 boys.

She’s convinced it’s going to go away, like it did before. She’s positive, even though the doctors have offered no assurances, she'll be able to resume her normal, active life. She can still play basket- ball, volleyball and slo=pitch, her arthritis isn’t severe enough to keep her from that, Still, it’s not the same as it was. Not like last year when she was an outstanding pitcher on the Bantam girls fastball team and led them to a fourth place finish at the B.C. Sum- mer Games. This year she’s had to sit on the sidelines because her arm and her knees weren't up to it. Not like last year when she was an improving volleyball and basketball junior at Stan- ley Humphries secondary Yes, she’ still a promising prospect, but even she doesn’t know how good she could be and arthritis is robbing her of some valuable discovery time. “It weighs you down some- 8 y. But you get the feeling that her words belie hidden emotions of what? Frustration? Anger? Pain? “It’s no big deal,” she will say, as if to confirm it in her own mind. “It doesn’t worry me that much,” she says. “I think itl go away soon. I'm positive it will.” She doesn’t know how she knows this, she just does. “I think I'll just forget about it, that T ever had it.” é CasNews photo by Kathy Verigin Robson River Otters swimmer Sam Wyilie is on the and set to take off in the division 1 boys 40-metre freestyle. The Otters held their annual meet at the CoraLea Pool their best team result of the season, a third. % Otters battling odds By ED MILLS Staff Writer Compared to the Robson River Otters, David had it easy with Goliath. The biblical David had only to overcome one menacing giant on one occasion. The River Otters, on the other hand, have to overcome several relative giants every weekend in pools across the Kootenays and into the United States. The Otters, unlike David, are rarely able to deliver the blows that fell those giants. But at the club’s own meet at the CoraLea Schuepfer Memorial Pool in Robson Sat- urday, the Otters swimmers were able to place some well aimed stones on the way to finishing third overall in the eight-team meet. Yes, it was a B-class meet, and many of clubs didn’t have their best swimmers in atten- dance, but that doesn’t change the fact that when it was over, the Otters stood above the likes of Goliaths from Grand Forks, Trail, Nelson and Beaver Valley. Proving that David will have to keep trying, the Otters’ closest rival, The Castlegar Aquanauts, won the meet with 509 points. The Colville Valley club was sec- MARIE SEGHERS -~Sliver for ceach ond with 412 points while the Otters had 284. Emily Watson, Karen Shin- gler, Jan Holden, Sean Pinker- ton, Heather Sutherland and assistant coach Nancy Wolf, who swept all five events in Division 7 girls, won gold for the Otters in the team’s best meet of the season to date. Otter coach Marie Seghars finished behind Wolf for the silver in division 7 and Lisa Woykin won silver in division 4 girls.
