V. Rogers team in Nelson is in the league as well. Powell said that the action you'd be likely to seé in women's v-ball at this level is quite differ- ping after their opening day tournament last Sunday. The league was organized by area volleyball enthusiasts to give former high-school, college, and university level players in the area the opportunity to keep on top of their skills. And have some fun. “The guys have been doing this for a while, and a couple of us got tired of just watchin’ the guys,” laughed Leona Powell, one of the league's organizers. “We just decided enough was enough, and we'd start: our own league.” The Regional Super-Vol- ley Challenge, a high-calibre league for Kootenay area men, started three weeks ago. Because Powell referees a lot of volleyball games in the area, she had the right connections to get the players out for the new league.

SHSS Senior Boys Coach Don Lust thinks the competition is going to be of very high caliber. “This is going to be one of the tournaments of the year,” Lust said. The top six “AAA” senior boys teams will all be repre- sented in Kelowna. In what has been a rollercoast- er ride through the rankings for the boys team. Ranked number one before the Mt Sentinel tourna- ment two weeks ago, a poor showing dropped the SHSS boys down to their present ranking at number six. Things may change in Kelowna. “Who ever wins this tourna- ment will be ranked number one in the province.” Lust said his teams chances are quite good. “We will be looking for a strong perfor- mance from Dan Koozhetsoff, our emotional leader and a strong game from our big guns like Lee Malinek.” In the end how the team performs depends on how they play as a team, not just individuals. “It depends on my guys, they have been up and down,” Lust said. The same philosophy also applies to the senior girl team. Senior girls Coach Carole Veri- gin puts the possibilities of a good performance by her team quite “T think we will come out in the top three,” Verigin said. The lack of experience on the girls team has not been showing through, they have let their enthu- siasm and energy make up for the teams lack of experience. “Our experience level is low with a team of all rookies, but we have placed quite well,” Verigin said. Coach Verigin said the girls on her team are all at the same skill level. ““We have no really outstand- ing stars, all the girls are at about the same skill level,” Verigin said. The final outcome of the tour- nament rests on how well the girls play together as a team. “Our skills are just excellent, we will see if the girls can pull it off.” Kats and Dogs tie for first — sort of JOHN VAN PUTTEN Sun Sports Sunday's flag football game between the Castlegar Tom Kats and Trail’s Dixie Lee Hawks was a one way street. While the Tom Kats found themselves down by one point within minutes of the start, after that it was all Kats. They answered the Hawks sin- gle with 44 consecutive points. When the dust settled in Trail, it was Kats 44 and the Hawks. 1 They found every possible way of getting the little piggy into the end zone. They executed they long pass- ing play, the short one, handoffs and some pretty fancy double lat- erals as they repeatedly marched their way down the field. Kats Captain Tom Campbell said he feels part of the success of his team has been, other than two new players the team has been running with the same squad for the past two years. “We know how each other plays,” Campbell said. First boenue Financial Services The Kats are in a first place tie with Trail’s other team, the Bull- dogs. The two were scheduled to play a make-up game Saturday morning, but when the referees didn't show up due to a mix-up, the game being cancelled. A decision to call the game a 0-0 tie was made on the field’ But that was called into question after the Sunday games. Because of the point spread, the Kats would clinch first place. The final outcome of the points from that cancelled game, and first place, will be decided at the league meeting on Thursday. Ed Canzian one of the captains of the Trail Bulldogs said the out- come of the cancelled game will not change the standings, “It's a Principle thing.” With the play-offs coming up quickly Campbell has lots of con- fidence in his team. “We are defi- antly ready, we're pumped.” In the other Flag football game this weekend the Trail Bulldogs beat the Dam Inn Mates 26-14. SHSS SPORTS BEAT IVO AMARAL & JEFF NIELSON Special to Sun Sports The bleachers were full and anticipation set in when the Staff Infection intramural volleyball met up with Tamara’s Team in the finals. With the blast of the whistle the match was on, and what looked like an easy kill for the Infection was no walk in the park. “Our last match was a tough one,” said Infection player Don Lust. He was impressed with the level of competition in the finals. When asked if any one on Tamara’s Team put out an extra effort, Lust said that J.C. Moore was very impressive. “He is a good, all-round ath- Tete.” Another member of the Infec- tion, Grant Apostoliuk, couldn't help bragging about the victory over Tamara’s Team. “The game was good, but we have the T-shirts to prove who the champs are.” The regular round-robin season ended two weeks ago in the six- team league. Ya Dig and The Posse never made it into post sea- son play, but showed good sports- manship and skill during their performances. In semi-finals action, Tamara’s Team won their finals berth after battling it out with Darren And The Slugs. In the other semi- finals match, The Rookies sought to knock out Staff Infection, but just couldn't beat the veteran squad. Everyone involved was impressed with the league organi- zational skills of Wendy Closkey, the SHSS minister of athletics.

Stephen Gray Director “Save the Union Movement” Volunteers and publicity needed to ensure recycling program survival Dear Editor: Last April a group of volun- teers from the Scouts red a newspaper collection event here in Castlegar. Over 6300 pounds of paper was collected on that cold and rainy Saturday in the Safeway parking lot. The first Saturday of the fol- lowing month, volunteers from the United Church rallied to @ similar event. This was followed by yet another collec- tion day on the first Saturday of June; this time sponsored by the uscc. After a summer break, the USCC Youth Council hosted an event in September, followed by the Castlegar Rotary Club in October. These collection events on the first Saturday of each month have become somewhat of a ritual in Castlegar. To date 38,000 pounds of recyclables have been collect- ed. That's 38,000 fewer pounds going to the dump! It also repre- sents a substantial number of trees when you consider that 17 trees are saved for every ton of paper which is recycled. The list of recyclables has been extended to include: news- Paper, colored flyers (both glossy and non-glossy), corrugated card- board, paper egg cartons, com- puter paper, white bond paper, magazines, and aluminum (including US beer and pop cans). It all goes to the RDCK Recycling depot in Nelson. All of the voli groups off their recyclables then we'll know for sure that the public is on board with recycling. The south works yard building is located on 24 Street, between Sth Avenue and 6th Avenue. Turn off Cotumbia at the Kinnaird hall junction, and go down one and a half blocks. * just past the Bob who have helped sponsor these events, and the Recycle Advisory Group, would like to see these events continued over the winter. However, we recognize that it is not reasonable to continue host- ing the events outside in the Safe- way parking lot. After all, it could snow any time, and it is almost certainly going to be cold and windy. The City of Castlegar has kindly allowed volunteer groups to use the south works yard build- ing during the winter months. While we are very grateful to have this location, we also recog- nize that it is not nearly as conve- nient as the Safeway parking lot. In a way it will be a test of how dedicated the area residents are to recycling. If they are willing to go out of their way a bit to drop . Its a large con- crete pulling inside a fenced compound. The next event will be on Sat- urday, November 7, 1992, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. It will be spon- sored by volunteers from the Selkirk Weavers and Spinners Guild. If we fail to get adequate pub- licity prior to the coliection day then we may suffer @ major set- bac! Castlegar. We also need more teer groups to come forward the winter season. Volunteers may contact Ann Goderis at 365-5077 or myself at 365-2353. Martin G. Meyer, Vice Chairman, Recycle Advisory Group Recent indecision of acting mayor proves CURB is still needed in Castlegar Dear Editor: To the Citizens of Castlegar, During the recent by-election, Doug Green, (CURB’s chosen candidate) was criticized by sev- eral Council members for running on non issues, ie: Honesty, Open- ness and Common sense. If you were at the Oct. 20 Council meeting or got a chance to see it on Shaw Cable, you would have seen a good example of why CURB was started and is still needed. Acting Mayor Jim Chapman Cranbrook?” Acting Mayor Chapman start- ed to look for a way around Mr. Popoff's question. He stated that Mr. Popoff should ask the Coun- cillors individually after the meet- ing. When pressed a little more, he said he did not deny that there was some controversy over the issue but still would not answer. Councillor Kirk Duff, to his credit, tried to set the record straight. This was the reason I asked ali was asked the fc by Peter Popoff (who should con- sider joining us as he has many of the qualities CURB stands for), “Do all the Alderman share the same opinion that was expressed on behalf of the city at the recent Provincial Government Educa- tion Funding Review Panel in the at the recent All Candidates Forum that if they were elected would they be on council just to make friends or would they be there to represent the people and stand up and be counted. ‘What I meant by this was; the Acting Mayor should have had no Problem stating that the delega- tion was authorized to present the repori and that it was passed by a Majority of the city council, although Council members x, and y went on record against present- ing the report With this kind of information, we will be able to support the Councillors who do stand for the Castlegar we want. By the same token, we will see the Councillors who have con- fused ideas or do not understand the ramifications of what they are voting on. To put it short and sweet; if we do not know how each Councillor votes, it is much like judging the whole by the actions of a few.
