Diamond quality is based on thefollowing:
Color: The higher quality diamonds are the colorless, or clear icy white. It is this
purity and crystal clearness which allows for a diamond to blaze with prismatic
reflections. :
Clarity: Foreign deposits, bubbles, cracks, and such inclusions limit the amount of
diamonds suitable for jewellery. In fact, about 80% of diamonds are not suitable for
jewellery. In most cases these flaws can only be identified by a jeweller.
Cut: A diamond must be cut and polished to exact specifications in order to reflect
light properly. Each diamond must be cut with 58 facets, otherwise light escapes
through the pavillion facets and the stone loses its brilliance.
Carat: The least important of the four diamond characteristics. The carat is the
diamonds weight. There are 141 3/4 carats per ounce, a carat subdivided into 100
points. Therefore, a ten point stone is one that weighs one tenth of a carat. Most
center stones are about one-half of a carat, or 50 points.

To say the least, Kevan Rilcofis
not a happy man these days.

For the second year in row, the

Castlegar native has been caught
in the numbers game in Junior A
hockey.
: What that means for the 19-
year-old former Castlegar Rebel is
a seat on the outside looking in as
the Vernon Lakers steam ahead in
their defense of the Centennial
Cup.

And it’s a situation that might
become painfully obvious to his
family and friends if the Lakers

meet the Trail Smoke Eaters to
decide B.C.’s Tier 2 Junior A
hockey champion.

‘By that time (the
trading deadline), it was
just too late to ask for a

trade or anything.’
-Kevan Rilcof

(The Smoke Eaters lead Prince
George 2-0 in the best of three

series to decide who will face

Vernon in the Mowat Cup. That

ists in 53 g playing a
regular shift on defence during the
regular season.

Right after the deadline trade
he was installed as a fourth line
right winger and saw his ice time
diminish accordingly.

To date in the playoffs he has a
goal and one assist and has played
only eight of the team’s 16 games.

Though Rilcof says he’s trying
to keep a positive attitude, his
words are edged in the
dissatisfaction he’s feeling with
hockey right now. e

“Well, I don’t know, I'd just lik:
to have a chance to play,” said
Rilcof Wednesday from Vernon.

Quitting was an option he
contemplated.

“Yeah well, thoughts like that
go through my mind, but I don’t
know, I try to do other things to
stay positive, keep busy.”

Beyond quitting, Rilcof soon
realized his options were limited.

“By that time (the trading
deadline) it was just too late to ask
for a trade or anything, you know,
it was right at the deadline.”

Almost worse than the feeling
of being an outsider in the Lakers
success is what management’s
deadlige decision could do to
Rilcof’s hopes for. a hockey
scholarship.

“No it doesn’t help at all. Ihave
two more years of junior left, I'l
play one of them and if things
don’t work out next year with the
scholarship, then I'll just go to
school,” Rilcof said.

Rilcof halfheartedly says his
teammates and coaches are trying
to keep him a part of it, but he

series will be decided this
weekend in Prince George.)

The whole thing is a bit like
deja vu for Rilcof.

Like last year, Rilcof was was
rowing merrily along, gaining
confidence and playing better
hockey, then boom! January 10,
the trading deadline.

On the last day of the B.C.
Junior Hockey League deadline
the Lakers acquired a pair of
standout defenceman and Rilcof
all of a sudden became the odd
man out on the bench.

His statistics tell the story.

He had nine goals and 10

admits he’s drained emotionally.

“No, I’m not (enthusiastic) and
haven't been for while.”

Lakers general-manager Mel
Lis, who engineered the deals in
both years, said the numbers
game is just part of hockey.

*That’s the way it goes, we’re
carrying 22 guys and two guys
have to sit. That’s hockey.”

Regardless,of the numbers, Lis
said Rilcof should be happy about
his lot with the Lakers.

“I know a lot of guys right now
who are out of a hockey job who
would love to play eight of 16
games to be on a winner.

“You don’t ever want to be
selfish. My philosophy is, you
know, tie shoelaces to be on a
winner instead of being a first
liner on a loser. You know, think
about it,” Lis said.

As for the damage to Rilcof’s
scholarship prospects, Lis said
Rilcof’s got lots of time left.
