If you enter, you do The Castlegar Rebel's crypt is the Castlegar Recreation Com- plex and many opposing teams have left its chilly environs shak- ing and limping. In the Crypt, there is no peace and hardly any rest. However, the East Division leading Columbia Valley Rockies weren't scared last Saturday night as they walked into the Crypt and exorcised the Rebels spirit. When the rusty gate of the Crypt finally closed, the Rockies had stolen away with a 6-1 victo- ry and proved to the Rebels that their scare tactics need a little improving. As usual, the Crypt was rocked early thanks to hard hitting from both teams. Kevin McGillvray showed why the Rebels imported him from Kamloops with a few crushing hits that set the tone for the first period. Both teams were flying offen- sively and Castlegar scored the first goal at the nine minute mark. Del MacEwen scored the goal in mid-air after a quick deke and a pass from Chris Thomas. Unfor- tunately the goal was not a sign of things to come for the Rebels. Columbia Valley answered only a minute later with a goal from Takirshi Ohnishi. Ohnishi's line was around the puck all night and gave the Rebels defensive fits within their own zone. The score was 2-1 for the Rockies after the first period and the only goal of the second period was scored by Columbia Valley on a well-placed wrist shot dur- ing a two-man power play advan- tage 11 seconds into the period The play was even during the period with both teams having goals disallowed due to dislodged nets. And then came the third. The Rockies landslide started at the 1:25 mark and didn’t seem to ever end. Of course penalties helped the Valley squad which scored two of it's three third peri- od goals on the power play. You can't win games when your players are in the penalty box and that's one of the tough lessons to be learned by the young Rebel team. They took 12 penalties in the third period which was critical since they entered only down two goals. “They started getting frustrated and taking lazy penalties,” said Rebels Head Coach Garry Sauer. “We couldn't get any momentum going. In the third, we finally had some momentum, but then we took a couple of penalties.” Overall, Sauer wasn’t too wor- are easier learned now than later in the season when it’s too late. “It’s early on in the season and it’s good to see the reaction on the bench when we're down,” said Sauer. “We're looking for guys who will fight til the end.” What does concer Sauer was the play of his veterans. A strong team is one with strong leader- ship, yet Rebels team captain Todd Doyle seemed to only lead Sidelines Heads up! The Columbia Valley Rockies played good defence in their own zone all night. When they weren't blocking Del MacEwen's shots (above) they were givng their goalie Plenty of room to see shots from Nino Dacosta (below). - a pee — SUN SPORTS PHOTOS / Jeff Gabert the team to the penalty box by taking six penalties. Assistant captains Nino Dacosta and Dar- ren Pottle also chipped in with a couple penalties each. “I was disappointed with the older guys tonight,” said Sauer. “Those are the guys who need to show the younger guys how to play out there.” As much as Saturday seemed to bring out the worst in the Rebels team, Friday night in Grand Forks brought out the best. The Border Bruins are one of the West Division's solid clubs this season and the Rebels showed a lot of grit and tenacity in beating the Bruins 5-4. It was a close game that sat tied at three goals apiece after two periods. Castlegar scored the fourth and then the fifth on a beautiful shorthanded effort by Jesse Oldham. Grand Forks man- aged to score shortly after but the stellar goaltending of Mike Kooznetsoff kept the team in front the rest of the way. The Rebels goal scorers were Doyle, Pottle, Oldham, Jeff Evdokimoff and Casey Grant. The Rebels next game is 8 p.m this Saturday at the Crypt versus — As of October 2nd, 1994 — NORTH TEAM Columbia Valley Rockies Golden Rockets North Okanagan Kings Revelstoke Grizzlies Sicamous Eagles L T POINTS SOUTH TEAM Beaver Valley Nite Hawks CASTLEGAR REBELS G.F. Border Bruins Rossland Jr. Warriors Spokane Braves TOTALS the North Okanagan Kings who they lost to in last year’s final. The Rebs will finish the weekend Sunday in Spokane. “T really haven't seen much of either team,” said Sauer. “North Okanagan is the team we lost to in the final and Spokane won all te) te) 0) it) i) T POINTS 5 of their exhibition games. I'd say most of the league is fairly even this year.” Even or not, let's hope the Rebels send the Kings home from the Crypt with their crown a little lopsided, if at all. The Crypt can always use more treasure. Striking out is absolutely no fun. There you are standing at the plate, your body twisted into a Position it hasn't tried since high school with some big loser might and all you are left with is air and humiliation. You feel like a sucker, a dupe, a dullard, a poindexter, or Rwan- da. You were fished in, hit over the head and sent down the river. And Gary Bettman's driving the boat. Baseball was bad enough. It's American after all and their known for economic stupidity in the face of losing ten bucks. But hockey? Hockey is Canadian. It's as solid as the rockies and tough as the prairies. But all of a sudden it has gone the way of the Mar | one cod and there seems to be nothing anybody can do. Not even the Great Gretzky can JEFF GABERT It is easy for every Don, Dick and Harty to theorize how the problem of escalating salaries will be solved and why the whole thing started in the first place but they all miss the whole point. They don't realize the fans Sports fans have just plain struck out have been struck out. They were up at the plate ready to enjoy themselves when across came a deadly curve that has them standing frozen, astonished and humiliated. And this one hurt. It hurt so bad that many feel it just isn't worth going to bat anymore Maybe it's time to try a new sport Now of course this is Canada and there will still be many people gladly willing to step up to the plate when the time comes. You have to. It's a tradition. But what if they all stepped up to a different plate at a different ballpark. What if they started to buy season tickets to the Kam- loops Blazers, the Trail Smoke Eaters or the Castlegar Rebels That would do it of course. The big wigs with “little man” syn- drome would have to listen then. We're fans. We have the power. But what the fans don't realize is that Canada is the crux of the issue and if they go to the other ballparks, our game is lost. It is the Canadian teams that can't afford the high salaries and the Canadian teams who will suffer by any fan rebellion. It's the bottom of the ninth for Canadian teams in the NHL and as much as the fans feel humiliat- ed they feel lost. And the fans must suffer to make things better Take one for the team. The pitcher on the mound is the best and there will be no dov- bles or triples today. It is unlikely anyone will even eak out a single by the October deadline. And the Canadian fan must sit with the bats on their shoulders - too scared to swing. WELCOME TO THE CRYPT a North VS Okanagan Saturday, Castlegar Community Complex 8 p:m.

They completed a Theory and Practi- cal Test and all passed with flying colors. Rosanna Sheppard, Leanne S! hnoff and Jennifer P ff all gained Canskate Assistant status while Dawn Hadiken and Danielle Jmieff became Canskate Instructors. All the girls are now able to assist with skaters registered in Castlegar’s Canskate programs under the direction of the skating club pro. Figuratively speaking, one might figure that these young figure skaters might figure prominently in future figures made by young Castlegar boys and girls!! Face Smashin’ at Mt. Sentinel Mt. Sentinel is often referred to as a Volleyball Mecca. True to form, all teams are heavy into practices. The grade 7 and 8 teams are enthusiastic and the Junior teams are working hard at perfecting new skills. The Seniors are on road trips already. The LadyCats met with teams in Sp and Metaline Falls, Idaho in exhibition play. They also placed third at the Stanley Humphries Invitational tournament. This year’s LadyCats are a re-building team, due to the loss of seven grads in June. They show promise in coming together as a strong, hard-working team again. The Senior Wildcats are on their way to a 40 team tournament at UBC. Coach Dave Olynykefeeis that lots of-expericnce-combined with good skills rhake them a very competitive team. Mt. Sentinel’s motto is “Give One's Best” and they're sure to do that again this year. Hiiiiiilii yal The Castlegar Judo Club held its first monthly club tournament of the season on October 27.

In order to per- form that crucial task to the utmost of their abilities they are selling raffle tickets to offset the costs of the Slocan Valley Ski Bus which runs from Slocan to the Whitewater Ski Resort every second Satur- day during the ski season. “Last year we did some fundraising which allowed us to let skiers ride the bus at a cheaper rate than previous years and a lot of people took advantage of that,” said SVRC Recreation Coordinator Craig Lawrence. “This year we want to get that rate down even lower.” The raffle's grand prize is a season's pass to Whitewater.
