Many peo- ple find the morning hours too hec- tic to eat. Others believe skipping breakfast helps control or reduce body weight. The effectiveness of skipping breakfast to loose weight is questionable, perhaps even counterproductive.

Call Dial-A- Dietitian for an answer to your nutrition questions, Submitted by The West Kootenay Dietitians’ and Nutritionist's Association, Punishment should be harsher Dear Editor: After reading the article in you Saturday Shopper written by Dr. Gifford-Jones on the punishment given out to offenders in Singa- pore I fully agree. He says in his article for major drug traffickers, the death penalty and five years for minor offense. The one punishment that seemed to be very effective was the “rattan cane” across the but- tocks. The doctor goes on to say that all crimes big or small are dealt with according to how seri- ous it is. Repeat offenders are only five per cent. I have showed this article to dozens of people and they all agree that Canada could easily adopt this kind of law. The way punishment is handed out in our country in so many cases is a big joke. Just think of the money that could be saved if our politicians would smarten up and change our laws.

Three hundred people attend- ed the Castlegar and District Wildlife Association's annual fundraising banquet and dance held on February 22, 1992 at the Castlegar Community Complex. Almost three times the amount (collected at last year’s event), was raised through the purchase of raffle tickets, a wildlife print auction and a silent auction for a 22 calibre rifle. This fundraiser will not only enable the Club to continue to support fish and wildlife pro- jects in this area, but part of the money raised will go towards land acquisition for wildlife habitat protection. Thank you again for your generous support. We hope that you will continue to support the Castlegar and District Wildlife Association and its activities.

T he Rockettes are coached by Jack Closkey, in his 24th year behind the bench.

Lambrick Park 6. Stanley Humphries How it went A game by game look The Stanley Humphries senior girls basketball team fell short of their first-place goal last week, finishing sixth at the provincial tournament in Prince George. The Rockettes won their first game, 63-46, against Parkland. Rory Perrier, theRockettes six- foot-one forward, ledthe-team:in scoring as she sank 19 points. Caroline Chernoff managed 15 against Parkland while Kelly Davidoff scored 14 on her way to being named the Rockettes play- er of the game. It was the second game of the Provincial tournament, which would prove to dash the hopes of the Rockettes and their fans. The Stanley Humphries girls lost a tight game to Windsor of North Vancouver, 56-54 on Thursday. The loss took away The heartbroken Rockettes Pulled themselves together to fin- ish the toumament. In their next game, Stanley Humphries beat O'Grady, 62-45. Perrier, named player of the game, scored 27 points while Davidoff had 12 and Wendy Closkey scored 10. The final game for the Rock- ettes was to determine the fifth and sixth-place finishers. Again foul trouble hurt the Castlegar girls as they fell to the host school Duchess Park, 62-45. Perrier was again named the Rockettes player of the game, scoring 19 points while Laurel Closkey had 11.

Seniors from both the boys and girls teams at Stanley Humphries will represent the school. A final roster has not been confirmed. sor. They played just a super game and we couldn't get into ours.” After walking away with their first game, a 63-46 victory over Parkland, the Rockettes lost their second game of the tourney, 56- 54, to Windsor, a school from the lower mainland. “We played well enough to win but we just didn’t drop our shots,” Closkey said, recalling several missed chances to tie the game in the dying moments. “Our shooting was off in that game, otherwise we would have been in the final.” In Windsor’s next game, they went on to beat Fernie—a team the Rockettes dominated in their last. meeting—before losing in the final to Lambrick Park. Little Flower Academy beat Out Fernie for third place while Stanley Humphries lost to the host school, Duchess Park, in the battle for fifth. “We were a lot better than the sixth-place team there,” said Closkey. “All the kids were pret- ty upset with our finish but that’s just the way it worked out.” Both coach and players knew the gamble they were taking from setting their goal so high. They held a number of Meetings during the regular season—not only about what they had to do to win, but what kind of conse- quences they would face if they failed. “There was uncontrollable cry- ing [after the Windsor game],” recalled Kelly Davidoff, one of the seniors playing for the Rock- ettes. “Nothing was more heart- breaking than losing that game.” Davidoff said the club really believed this was going to be their year. She said the loss was especially hard to take because all the players were so close. “After the game we went back to the hotel,” said Davidoff, who grew up alongside many of her (Pammates, including Closkey’s daughters Laurel and Wendy. “All three of them [the Closkeys] were standing in the hall hugging each other,” David- off said. “It was a neat site to see but also the saddest site you could see.” Laurel Closkey was the Rock- ettes most determined player all See NOT THEIR YEAR 9A Computers streak to CRHL title JIM_ZEEBEN be 1. 4 Aiming high, Rory Perrier, number 10, led the Rock- ettes in scoring at the B.C. provincial championships in Prince George.

Computers pulled away from Castlegar Sports Centre to earn a 5-3 win. The extremely tight-checking game was tied at two until late in the second period. With only two minutes left in the middle frame, Computers goalie Tim Swanson came up with a big series of saves while sprawling on the ice during a scramble in front of his net. Darwin Anderson scooped up the loose puck and streaked down the ice into Sports Centre's zone. Anderson was tied up in the comer but he managed to send a b-line pass out to a waiting Bill Nazaroff, who made no mistake, snapping the puck past Centre’s keeper Dan Wallace. Midway through the third, Dwayne Weir put Sports Centre back in the game with an unas- sisted goal. The game stayed tight until Dean MacKinnon scored his sec- ond on the night with five min- utes left, putting Computers back on top.
