~ Page 8A The Castlegar Sun Wednesday, November 4, 1992 a Letters, cont. from page 7A There must be one nation under God ibe have a ye many of the liticians still have not wnder- }stood the message many of us tywere trying to give them about t {the constitution. ‘ It is like they have their hear- ting aids turned off. We don't H want our country divided up into ‘ little nations and special interest |.groups. We want everyone to be equal. We want to be united from {sea to sea. We want to accept Feach others differences but we Sywant everyone to be Canadians first. We don't care if the people in Quebec want to speak French . just don’t make us pay for speaking it all across Canada And don't punish people who want to speak other languages in Quebec It is quite simple ... just love one another and help each other. One has to look at reality and reality is that we can’t just blind ourselves with the wishes of the minorities and thereby close our eyes to the needs of the majority. Understanding each other hasn't got anything to do with the lan- guage we speak with our mouth, it is the understanding we have in our hearts that counts. I hope the government gets the message of our contempt of the way they are wasting our money. Actually it is worse than that because being in debt ... we don't have money ... they are increas- ing our debt just to play games and make cosy nests for them- selves.

As to aboriginal claims ... We cannot go back and correct the wrongs of the past ... just as the Indians can't go back and Correct the wrongs they and their ances- tors may have done. But we can start fresh. Giving money or land isn’t going to correct the prob- lems. It will just create more prej- udice and hate on either side. They are our brothers and sisters and fellow Canadians. We need to love and respect them for the wonderful people they are. We need to reach out and help the ones that have social problems. We need to give them job training and help them into society. But first I think we need to work on that society to make it something they would feel proud to join. I think it is wonderful for native people to keep their cul- ture alive and many are earning a living doing that now with their wonderful art work and tourist attractions, but perhaps that is not what some of the natives need or want. I don't think any of us would really want to go back to making a living the way it was in the old days. We all want basicly the same thing in life, because we are all basicly the same inside. This life is such a short little journey .. why worry so much about the things we will not be able to take with us, and concentrate on the things that really matter ... loving one another? THE ANSWER IS TO HAVE ONE NATIONS UNDER GOD! Let's ALL pick up the traces and ALL work on it TOGETHER. And for crying out loud ... please listen to this you politicians ... we don’t need expensive studies on this and we don't need debate and legislation ... because you can't legislate love ... just do it. Iris Bakken Salmo Alumni searches for information. for Archive Committeé Dear Editor: The Alumni Association of the University of Victoria has recently established a History and Archives Committee, the mandate of which is to discover, preserve and record information and artifacts pertain- ing to the activities of the former students who constitute the UVic Alumni Association. These include anyone who graduated from UVic since its inception in 1963, those who attended Victoria Col- lege from 1902 to 1963, and those who attended the Victoria Normal School at any time from it beginning in 1915. In ion to pictures, paper articles, of and ies or di ies for our archives, my job as a committee member is to compile as much information as possible former students of the Victoria Nome School. Although we have lists of all who ever ion, we have very few current addresses and very few pnd names of women students. We need your help in compiling this information. We also need to know of any former students who are now deceased. We hope to hear from many former Normal School students. Please let us know of your teaching careers and your other interests and achievements. Maybe you could even send up a brief autobiography! Archival mate- rial such as snapshots, old Normal School annuals etc. would also be Marion Small very much appreciated. In addition, if your Normal School class has recently had a reunion, we'd love to hear about it. Please send all correspondence to the address below.

Box 3060, Victoria, BC Charlottetown Accord a valuable lesson for politicians Dear Editor: It’s official; the Charlottetown Accord is as dead as the prover- bial doornail. But don’t expect the politicians or the media to lay it to rest just yet. Undoubtedly, the next few weeks will be spent milling over the reasons why an agreement with the support of so many political parties, special interest groups, business and labour organizations could possibly fail. The reasons for the Accord’s Letters Policy Letters to the Editor are wel- come on any topic of local or general interest. should be double-spaced, typewritten, or legibly handwritten, and no more than two pages if possible. Let- ters will be edited in the interests of brevity or taste if necessary.

A good example of the former would be the 25 per- cent rule, which guaranteed Quebec a quarter of all elected seats in the House of Ci studying will be the myraid of errors committed by the yes campaign and the lessons to be learned from them. Lesson #1: Canadians don’t like ultimatums. The scare tac- tics practiced by the Yes cam- paign and, in particular, by the mind, but the boo-boo which sticks in my mind is the one éommitted by our own Mr. Sihota, whom Mr. Harcourt in his wisdom has just promoted to labour minister. It is seldom a good idea to brag over the air waves about which in effect could wind up penalizing a province like B.C. for rapid growth. A second reason, especially in the West, would be the ‘wet noodle’ Senate, which instead of being Triple-E, has been labelled an ‘E and a half’ by Preston Manning and right-wing publications such as B.C Report. However, while there is no doubt that the Accord’s flaws contributed greatly to its death, it can be debated that Ontario and Quebec would never have allowed their stranglehold on the House of Commons to be broken by the establishment of a truly Triple-E Senate. Nor is it certain that Quebec could be convinced to give up the provi- sion on guaranteed seats. What the politicians will be Winter Carpet Cleaning Specials f Living Room, Dining Room, Hallway Sofa, Chair And Love Seat 74" Whole House Special ”!( Serving Trail, Castlegar, Brain y, fail to Neither did the Prime Minister's assertation that to vote ‘no’ was to become, a traitor to God, Queen, and Country. Canadians also refused to buy into the notion that a No hafting the people whose vote you need to cultivate. It was an equally grievous error on the part of Mr. Sihota’s political PP s to fail tor more strongly to his lack of dis- cretion as I feel it added to the vote would delay ec recovery. Many in fact believe that the recovery is more likely to be delayed not be a No vote but by the expenditure of time, energy, and resources by politi- cians into constitutional rather than economic issues. Lesson #2: Propaganda advertising doesn't work any- more. Thirty or forty years ago, multi-million dollar television and newspaper ads featuring panoramic nature scenes, chil- dren, soothing music and lots and lots of flags might actually have produced results. But now, North Americans are far less likely to blindly trust the images thrown at them through the media. All in all, the most effec- tive ads used in the campaign were those of Reform Party lead- er Preston Manning, which fea- tured Mr. Manning addressing the specific concerns that most Canadians had about the Accord, such as national unity and eco- nomic consequences. This enabled him to counter the chief argument of the Yes side while firing away at the Accord’s weak points, and in the end, proved far more effective that the some- what vague messages being pro- duced by the Yes side. Lesson #3: Don't blow your mouth off. This will probably be the toughest lesson to imple- ment. In later weeks several incidents will probably come to air of y surr di the whole deal Lesson #4: Resist the urge to make your own personal addi- tions. The gender-parity Senate proposed by the NDP provincial governments proved widely unpopular, most likely because it would almost certainly cause candidates to be defeated by those of lesser merit but of a different sex. The NDP’s stub- born adherence to the proposal undoubtedly cost the Yes side cyitical votes in B.C., katchewan, Ontario, and the Yukon. Lesson #5: People don't seem to trust politicians, no matter what the part. While some level of distrust is normal, nowadays it seems nobody has any confidence whatsoever that the people running this country know what they are doing. Regaining an element of trust will be crucial in order not only to resolve the constitutional debate, but also to solve this country’s economic woes. With any luck, it will be some time before the constitu- tional debate resumes, giving the politicians the time to study the lessons mentioned above. In the meantime, I think they will find that what is needed is not so much a new vision for Canada, as a new ear for them- selves and a new voice for the people. is > a fe) 4 8 <= Sports Dept.

Phone 365-5579 with your sport brief Rebels’ trainer breaks down barriers JASON KEENAN Sun Sports Editor Janet Harcus is helping the Castlegar Rebels break the gen- der-barrier in the Kootenay Inter- national Junior Hockey League. Harcus is the first female train- er in the history of the league Actually, the soon-to-graduate nursing student is the first woman to stand behind the bench with the on-ice operation of a league team. “You learn lots of things you never learn in a first aid course or nursing,” commented Harcus on the benefits of her position wi the team. The big advantage of the world of hockey is the think- on-your-feet challenge of sports medicine. “It's different every night.” Every night there's an injury, either major of minor. Every Rebels’ assistant trainer Janet Harcus checks out goalie Vaughn Welychko's neck after he took a stick to the throat in action against Grand Forks two weekends ago. SUN SPORTS PHOTO / Jason Keenan injury is an opportunity to prac- tice skills. And practice translates in to experience. And she hasn't had any bad experiences with the team because of her gender. “They treat me like a sister, not one of the guys,” she said. “Most of the guys are just really nice to me.” It’s the other teams who aren't so ‘nice’. Other teams, and their fans have slipped some comments her way. The ones that can be printed in the paper include: “Hope I get hurt if your the trainer,” and “What exact- ly is she training you for.” Harcus has two advantages dealing with the comments: her experience as a trainer with a Tugby team, and the Rebels. “They're always protective of me when we go on the road,” she said. “I'm always with these guys, so nothing's going to happen.” She’s always watching the action, along-with head trainer Tom Campbell. While she slides across the ice to start treating an injured player, her mind has to ip back to the moment the injury occurred. The night of the interview two weeks ago, Rebel goalie Vaughn Welychko caught a stick in the throat area. “I was thinking about his wind Janet Harcus is the first women involved in the on- ige operations of a team in the ruatory'c of KIJHL. $ pipe.” Campbell, the Rebels’ trainer since 1985, was looking for an assistant because of his heavy schedule in nursing at Selkirk College. Since Campbell has worked with Harcus at the Castlegar Ambulance Service for the past three years, he knew she was the right person for the job. “I'm glad to have her aboard,” said Campbell. Campbell said the most impor- tant factor is respect. The players have to respect him, they have to respect Harcus, and they have to SUN SPORTS: PHOTO / Jason Keerian respect the coaches. g And he said the players have had no problem respecting her judgement. She's earned it by how to draw the line. “I just put my foot down. ie their hurting and they want fo ing the tricks of the trade from Campbell, she’s not afraid to adniit their styles are a bit different. “Tom isn’t as sympathetic as I am sometimes. It’s that maternal Rebels sweep road swing JOHN VAN PUTTEN Sun Sports Three games on the road this past weekend for the Castlegar Rebels could not have ended any better. On their tour through the East Kootenay's, the Kootenay Interna- tional Junior Hockey team netted six points from their three wins. “We are off to our best start with a 8 and 2 record, 13-1-1 if you count the exhibition games,” said Co-coach Gary Sauer. Their road trip took them to Elk Valley for two games against the Raiders. Castlegar won 13-4 on Friday night and 7-0 on Satur- day. Riding high on the two wins, they passed through Invermere and beat Columbia Valley 5-1. The Rebels three decisive vic- tories while on the road added up to a 25 goals for and only five goals against One reason Sauer gives for the success of the is the hard work the team put into training. “Gordie (Co-coach Gordie Walker ] deserves recognition for bringing in some new players to CASTLEGAR REBELS’ HOCKEY the team for this year, and working them hard during the pre-season.” All that hard work has. played off, with 42 games on the slate for this season the Rebels are ahead of last year’s pace. Last year they accumulated 24 points over the entire season, this year they have 16 points, with less than a quarter of the season aver. “We are well ahead of last years pace, they [the players) know they are going to be con; tenders this year,” Sauer said. One thing that has the coaches impressed is the performance of the team while on the road. The away games are always the hard- est one’s to win. “We are 5-2 on the road and have won all three games at home. It is very important to win at home,” said Sauer. “From now until the end of December we have 12 home games and one game away. Jan- uary will be a month on the road with seven games away and only three at home,” Sauer said. The game Friday against against the Raiders was close until the third period, when the Rebels exploded with eight straight goals. Some players who are not usually the big scorers had a good game. “Aaron Hackman, who plays defence, had an exceptional ‘We are well ahead of last year's pace.’ — GARY SAUER Rebels’ co-coach game, scoring a hat trick in the third period.” Keeping the players on the ice and out of the penalty box also helped the Rebels keep to their game plan. “The kids played well they con- trolled the penalty problem. We SUNDAY, NOV. 1 CASTLEGAR REBELS 5 @ COLUMBIA VALLEY 1 had only 28 minutes of penalties, some games they have been as high as 61. The guys are staying on the ice and playing hockey.” Saturday night's game against the Raiders in Sparwood was all Rebels on the scoreboard. The 7-0 win gave John Ray his first shutout for the year. All the Rebels’ goals were scored by dif- ferent players. “The seven different goal scor- ers shows the depth this team has, we are not relying on one line. Our four strong lines give us a well balanced attack,” Sauer said. One bad thing came out of the game on Saturday night. Ed Lehn suffered a separated shoulder and will be out of the lineup for six weeks. “We spent the night at the hos- pital and did not get into {nver- mere until 4:30 in the morning,” Sauer said. “We were kind of rushed. Grab a couple of hours sleep and be at the rink for Sunday’s game 10 a.m..” Even with the rushed schedule they managed to mount a 5-1 win. Several players made excep- tional Showings during their visit to Invermere. Todd Doyle had three goals and two assists and Nino DaCosta was close behind with one shot that met the mesh, and he helped out on three others. The more shots your team is taking the better the odds are you will get some past the guy with the pads. The Rebels tested Columbia Valley goalie Jason Lawkick with 47 shots while Castlegar goalie J. C. Moore faced 25 shots from the sticks of the Columbia Valley players, and he kept two dozen of them from passing him and rest- ing between the The Rebels will be at home this weekend for two games. Fri- day they will be playing Nelson, and Saturday they wil meet up with Spokane. Coach Sauer says these will be tougher games than the past weekend. “We are the only team that has beaten Nelson, it should be an interesting game.” : This weekend is noise. seater weekend.
