Walkaway Victories for Bantam Reps

This weekend, the Castlegar
Bantam Reps once again walked
‘ away with two big wins in league
play, winning 9-2 against Nelson
on Saturday, and against Cran-
brook on Sunday.

Castlegar's Rick Fauth put his
team on the score board 55 sec-
onds into the first period and
again at 5:46. Bryan Yackel
added two and Darren Pottle had
one to give Castlegar a 4-0 lead.

In the second period, Nelson
held Castlegar down to two goals

“His work is very strong,” agrees Montreal Gazente cartoon-

Antignani and Yackel. Nelson
could only muster up one for a
final 9-2 score.

Castlegar assists went to Craig
Swanson with 4, Mark Carlson
with 3, Hunter, Yackel and Pottle
with two, and Antignani with one.

On Sunday, Castlegar faced
Cranbrook for the first time this
year. The Castlegar team was
fired up and bull dogged their
opponents 6-0 in the first period.
Once again, Rick Fauth opened
the scoring with an unassisted
goal on a shot taken from the
Centre red line. Captain Vince
Antignani then racked up four
more goals and Mike Myrha one.

In the second period, both
teams picked up two goals each,

Rick capella d demonstrates to the class how to draw a

The class at the NEC included demonstrations and plenty of
drawing for the 14 area residents (of a wide variety of ages)

who showed up to leam more about the art of cartooning.
Cepella explained that his love for cartooning started when

he was in Journalism school.
“Thad to produce lots of writing when leaming to produce a
small newspaper,” he said: “I started doodling and found that I

enjoyed drawing more than
writing stories.”

After his schooling,
Cepella found himself work-
ing in the production depart-
ments of large newspapers.

“I got more into my
drawing and -started to
become interested in seeing
my work in print.”

He started to hang around
with the regular cartoonists at
the paper and found that,
“They’re well-paid profes-

.. Sionals who have alot.of ..;

“I’m still not making a a

“But I'm getting there. Sun
cartoonist Roy Peterson told
me about being successful in .
this trade, ‘If you’re stupid
enough and bull-headed, it'll
happen,” he said.”

Cepella’s personal advice
to those cartoonists interested
in making it to the big time is,
“Don’t give up."
