April Greeves, of Glade wasn't sure how her mount would react to crossing the rushing water and decided to lead him across, He decided he wasn't going to get wet and gave it his best shot to use his owner as a bridge. April found herself going for an unan- ticipated swim in the chilly water when her steed lunged on top of her.

It took a couple of hours for the string of riders to reach the Cascade summit where they ren- dezvoused for lunch with wag- oneers Otto Bokemper of Grand Forks and Lola Monte from Sta- gleap Ranch in Salmo. The hors- es had a much deserved rest for about an hour before heading down the dusty trail to the McLeod ranch in Sheep Creek Valley. Unfortunately for the rid- ers,-a storm was brewing and as they weaved their way down the last sections of the path the rain began to fall Led by Bob Keep, the ten rid- ers who rode the Dewdney Trail from the Christina Lake side arrived at the campsite about a half an hour before the group rid- ing from the Rossland end. By the time everyone reached the they were in the midst of what seemed like a torrential downpour. This didn’t dampen the spirits of the hearty group of cowpokes and they proceeded to set up the tents and tarps despite the miserable weather. Fires began to spring up at the different camps and they were a welcome sight to the rain soaked people wandering around. Although many of the fires seemed to con sist mostly of smoke for the first hour of setting up camp the flames eventually prevailed. The trail horses took cover beneath several convenient trees and appeared to take grate plea- sure feeding on the fresh green hay brought to them by John Drake, a resident of the Valley. Meanwhile a waterlogged crew of forty-five wandered up to Gail and Dan McLeod's ranch house sporting slickers, winter coats and smiles. Once there, a feast of home-made bread, borscht, turkey and ham was enjoyed by all. This magnificent dinner was topped off with a sweet slice of apple pie for those who still had room in their bellies for such a treat. After dinner the rain finally quit and everyone made their way to the main campfire in anticipa- tion of the evening festivities Perched upon a plywood stage, Paul Henderson of Grand Forks sang and picked his guitar and Paul Holotzki of Nelson made his violin sign with a few strokes of his magic bow.

These fans took time out from hockey to watch the Toronto Blue Jays’ game on a TV in the Complex foyer. Spokane last Sunday. They beat the Beaver Valley Night Hawks 7-6 last Wednesday, the Rossland SUN SPORTS PHOTO / John Van Putten out on the ice to win each one. “We're trying to play one peri- od at a time.” Breaking down the provide Sauer the opportunity to look at game plans. “We look at what we're doing. If it's working we can stick with it, if it's not working we can change.” In both the Beaver Valley and the Rossland games, Sauer said the team got off to a slow start. And though they didn't give it all for the entire game, they played well enough to win and well enough to deserve to win. “In Beaver Valley we showed we can come from behind and beat the tough teams in the league.” Down 5-3 at the end of the second, the Rebels scored four in five minutes to win the game. They also held on to their lead through a seven minute penalty in the last eight minutes of the game. The game against Rossland on Friday night was a lot closer than the score. It was a 2-1 game until the 18:38 mark in the second, when Dave Dyball put one in behind the Rossland net minder. The third was all Rebels, and they scored four unanswered goals. “We've had some strong third periods. We're finishing strong,” said Sauer. At home against Grand Forks on Saturday the Rebels played 60 Bird will take the bus — sometimes JASON KEENAN Sun Sports Editor There’s a big question of bus- ing over at the Castlegar Rebels organization this week. For the past four years Castle- gar resident Bill Bird hasn't missed a home or an away game. He’s rode on the team bus to every away game, but that’s about to change. After a two-and-a-half hour long executive meeting, and numerous discussions on Tues- day, the Rebels’ executive, and coaches Gary Sauer and Gord Walker, found the middle ground between an outright ban of Bird, and allowing a non-team member Qn the team bus. “As a compromise to try to help old Bill we're going to make an exception for the Rebels’ number one fan,” said Walker. 1 Bird will be allowed to travel on the teams bus to local-area aay games, but not on the long hauls, like this weekend's swing through the East Kootenay. Bird will not be allowed to travel with the team to Nelson, since the CASTLEGAR 3. Castlegar, Gropp 1 10:49 6. Beaver Valley, Partidge Rebels travel by van instead of bus to save money, and there just isn’t the room for Bird. Walker emphasized that this is the only exception that will be made in terms of fans travelling with the team. It had been sug- gested that the team allow any fans travel with them on road swings, an idea quickly shot down by the coaches. The main problem having outsiders on the bus is.a matter of discipline. “Discipline starts on the bus.” Walker said that if he wants to yell or swear at a player on the bus, the presence of an outsider would limit what he can say to the Rebels. If only the team is on the bus, that’s a different story. “I don't have to butter it up.” Walker added that the bus is merely an extension of the dress- ing room, a place where outsiders aren’t allowed to hang around. “People have always said the Rebels lack discipline.” And it’s on the bus where the team comes together or falls apart. “If you can make sure they're all having fun and thinking about the game on the bus, they'll do REBELS’ HOCKEY GAME RESULTS WEDNSDAY, OCT. 21 CASTLEGAR REBELS7@ FIRST PERIOD 1.

Walker said the bus this year is smaller than in previous years, and there just aren't the empty seats there used to be. Every player should have a double seat to themselves so they can sleep on the way to or from their games. After a three-game road swing through the East Kootenay, with many players fac ing school first thing the next morning, the players ‘need their space. “If the kids want to sleep, they should be able to.” Both Walker and Rebels’ Pres- ident Jim Draper agreed that the compromise stands for this sea- son only. Before next season Starts, the situation will have to be reviewed again. But for this year, and for the compromise, Draper said he was pleased with the accommodation made for the number-one Rebels fan. “We're going to work very hard to see he comes to our games locally.” minutes and dominated the Bru- ins for the win. Sauer said it was forechecking, which had been strong in the previous two games, that helped them build the win. “Our forechecking was excel- lent. We played down in the Bru- ins end the whole first period.” With five different scorers on each goal, he said that the depth Ly of the team really shone through. The 20 minutes in penalties in the game was a sign that the pursuit of discipline was falling in to place. “We're coming together more as a team, with more discipline.” Unfortunately in Spokane on Sunday, discipline didn’t help the team at all. Sauer said that if a Rebel took a shot in the head, «oe Bruin Derick Bird (25) ran in to one of the Rebels in action last Saturday. ‘SUN SPORTS PHOTO / John Van Putten they waited in vain for the referee to call a penalty. “It's pretty frustrating from the player's point of view, and the coaches point of view.” Sauer said the highest compliment came when the referee came over and congratulated him on the team’s level-headedness. “That's good to hear from a referee.” Every time he travels to the morgue-like rink in Spokane, Sauer begins to think about the play-offs, since there's a good chance the two teams will meet in post-season play. “The guys are going to have to learn how to win in that rink.” They only have one more re; season chance to do that, with their final trip down to Washing- ton on Valentine's Day.
