Dear Rebels,
Although you may well

Coach Pezzin and you
players no doubt entertained
visions of winning it all this
year, but losing to an excellent
Quesnel team is no disgrace,

Rather, even getting to the
finals through a tough regular
season and playoff series to the
semifinals, twice in as many
years, is testimony to your
success as a team.

The Castlegar fans who
supported you, both at home
and away a!) year, know they
have received full excitement
value for their money and join
in offering hearty congratula-
tions to you players, the coach-
ing staff and management for
providing that special brand of
Rebel hockey so enjoyed in
Castlegar.

Your “Rebel” Reporter

have wished for a different —

script to conclude your 1977-78
performance, you can temper
the disappointment of your loss
to Quesnel with the knowledge
that overall, you have had an
excellent season,

ENERGY DESIGNED FOR
FUTURE GENERATIONS"

Erin is just colouring houses now, but someday she will probably be
shopping for a home of.her own. The energy system installed in that
home now may well have a substantial bearing on its value when
Erin’s generation enters the housing markét. We believe, because of
its supply position and competitive price policy, natural gas will be:
just as sought after as a home heating energy then as itis today. ~

tempting to do just that,

: Organizers are promising
lots of exhibits that should be of
interest to all members of the
family. As well, they have lined

ing until’ the doors close on
Saturday evening.

‘We hope you find the time
to take in this event—I am sure
you will'not be disappointed,

The Rotary Club, like the
Lions Club, has undertaken a
mammoth; project—a gigantic
cash and car bingo. This event,
which promises to be the
largest bingo that has taken
place in Castlegar, will be held
on April 29th.

The Toronto Globe and
Mail carried an interview on
March 24 with Mike Moran, son
of Mr. and Mrs. Michael E,
Moran of Castlegar, a day prior
to the annual Oxford-Cam-
bridge boat race on the Thames
River.

Moran was one of three
overseas oarsmen selected to
row for the Oxford team, along
with Australian Andy Miche-
more and American Al Shealy.

A member of the Brent-
wood crew that won the
Canadian schools title in 1972,
winner of a bronze medal at the .
1975 Pan-American Games and
with the winning University of
B.C. crew at the 1976 Royal
Henley regatta, Moran:is be
lteved to be the first Oxford
rowing “Blue” from the Brent-
wood school.

Following is the interview
with Moran from the Globe and

In the most exclusive cor-
ners, of the world of rowing,
what happens on the river
Thames in London tomorrow
may not be ‘the last word in
compulsion. The ancient, duel
between the University boat
crews of Oxford and Cambridge
no longer ranks as a watery
pinnacle.

Do not mention that to

Valuable Player and for selec-

five months of his life. For that
matter, five months of his life
last year, too.

Five months is how long it
takes to get into the condition
demanded by Oxford's. fiery
young coach, Daniel Topolski,

for the four-mile race from
Putney to Mortlake.

_ Moran, a world-class oars-
man who learned the sport at
Brentwoud College, Vancouver
Island, and University of Brit-
ish Columbia, did think twice
about fighting to keep his place
last autumn when a squad of 60
Boni were named by Topol-

“You think,” says Moran,
“of all the work, all the
slogging, when really all you
want to do is turn over in bed
and have another hour's sleep.
You think how your studies will
probably suffer. You‘also think
how important is this race,
anyway? It seems so far away.
“But then you think of the
day. You think of the feeling
you got when the starter’s gun
sounded and you were off and
you were winning—and then
you remember how, after two
miles into the race, you felt so
strong, that you were on top of
the situation, and you say, well,
it was a beautiful feeling.”
Not so long ago, the Oxford
boat was dominated by English-
men, mostly educated at Eton
College. This year there are no
Btonians and, of the crew—
eight rowers and the cox—
three are from overseas.
Moran, big Al Shealy, ex-
Harvard, and president (cap-

tain) and stroke Andy Mitchel-’

more, from Melbourne, are the
three from last year’s winning
crew,

tion to the first all-star team; ,

Dean Horning and Kevin Koor-
batoff for game Most Valuable
Player; Brad Mair and Arnie
Brattebo for honorable mention
to game Most Valuable Player.

Coaching: the Atom All-
Stars was Don Mair, with Jerry
Hurd as team manager.

The team consisted of Billy
-Alexander, Arnie Brattebo,
Dean. Horning, Kelly Hurd,
Philip Johnstone, Kevin Koor-
batoff, Tom Frisby, Brad Mair,
Mitch Peacock, David Streloff, ’
Walter Wasilenkoff, Rodney

‘No Accident’

A Safety Record

One member ofa relatively
new, hard driving rock group
first met the other two mem-
bers when he gave them a
26-hour drive in his truck.

The group call themselves
“Driver” and their first LP
album is titled “No Accident"—
perhaps in memory of that ride!
It is not a safety record.

+++ feel strong

Moran, who is studying
psychology, reflects: “Probably
you have to be involved in it to
really grasp what it is all about.
Sure, there's a great history to
the boat race. When I came to
Oxford I thought vaguely ‘well,
T'll probably row.’

“I didn't imagine quite
what it entailed! didn't think
of all the. cross-country runs,
the endless work: on the river
when the rain is like nails.

“Work starts around the
end of October. It's relatively
gentle at first but you are
conscious that people are really
looking at you.

George Harris, a former pro-

The Old Man Of The Isis (the

Said Harris: “Young Mor-

some of us had this feeling that

“Mind you, they can't all
row like Mike Moran. He's got
so much strength and rhythm.
He's a natural rower. Oh yes,
very much so,”

The insistence on super-fit-
ness is reasonable.

At the Mortlake boathouse
at the end of the course, crews,
winners and losers, usually
drape themselves like so many
corpses,

One Oxford crewer said,
“AIL I remember of the race is
that every second feels like a
minute, every minute an hour
,++ And in that final stretch for
the finishing line you cram in
everything as if it was the very
last minute of your one and only
life.”

A strong favorite in the
race, Oxford was once again
victorious over the opposing
Cambridge crew in the March
25th duel.
