Curling is one game where age does not take its toll quite as drastically as in other sport, like hockey for instance. I believe that our senior senior is 88 years old. The ranks are staffed accor- ding to the luck of the draw. After two weeks of curling and halfway through the first draw, the Gerry Rust and Mike Verzuh rinks are tied for first place with records of four wins and one loss. Verzuh is over 80 years old. The Ray Heagy rink is close behind at three wins, a tie and one loss. Curling fans can watch some veteran players demonstrate their skills on the ice at the Castlegar Curling Club on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9:30 a.m. and 1 p.m., and Wednesday at 9:30 a.m. It’s exciting, noisy and un- predictable.

With a four-goal cushion in the third period, Castlegar found itself under good pressure from a determined Trail offence but yielded only two goals and emerged with a well-deserved 7-5 win. Penalties were a factor as Trail garnered 31 minutes in the box while Castlegar netted seven. The Castlegar Bantam Reps’ next game is Nov. 17 at 1 p.m. in Pioneer Arena against a Trail midget squad. ALL STARS The Castlegar Allstars edged Beaver Valley 6-5 BANTAM REPS The Castlegar Bantam Reps earned their first -gul victory at the i Complex as they outlasted Trail 7-5.

Top meets best Sunday WINNIPEG (CP) — The simple question that pits the top offence in the CFL against the league’s best defence doesn’t compute for this Sunday’s Eastern final at Winnipeg Stadium. TheToronto Argos’ vaunted shoot’em-up offence rolled to a league record 689 points this season. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ defen- ce gave up just 398 points, a whop- ping 112 points fewer than the second-ranked Edmonton Eskimos. Toronto averaged more than 38 points per game, and in consecutive victories this season racked up unheard-of scores of 70-18 over Position scoring. The Argos dropped all four con- tests against the Bombers and managed only 25 points combined in their last two losses to Winnipeg. Those Toronto losses, of course, Calgary and 60-39 against I The Bombers averaged just over 26 points per game on offence, worst in the CFL, but led the league with a 12-60-0 record by shutting down op- are i in a 8 playoff. What may upset this Sunday’s of- fence-vs-defence balance is quarter- back injuries in Toronto. THE NUMBERS RENTERS INSURANCE Landlords — Do you have |= adequate insurance?

The Halloween show, put on by Anne Kelly, Cecilia Skwarok and Don Brown, was enjoyed by a full house. A Christmas event is scheduled for Dec 15. The toddlers’ story time will probably resume in January. School classes are visiting the library this month, though our usual Young Canada Book Week invitation. has been spread over several months. A wondrous new batch of juvenile non-fiction books has just been processed. Books on the environment, recycling garbage, the Amazon rain forest, tornados, predicting’ earthquakes and violent storms, ancient Phoenicians, ancient Egypt, the world of Columbus, life in Iraq, Afghanistan, South Africa, animal rights, mountain gorillas, animal intelligence — these are only a few of a large and varied selection of glossy, appealing, information packed books for grade schoolers. Apart from this month’s ‘‘biggie’’ (Jean Auel’s Plains of Passage), on the adult new book shelf, we have W.O. Mitchell's Roses are Difficult Here. Mitchell is back in his favorite territory, small town life in the West. The story is set in Shelby, in the Alberta foothills, the time is the 1950’s and some of the old cowboy pioneers are still around. The townspeople feel blessed by a wise doctor and a fine preacher but reserve judgment on the ex-rodeo star who drives the ‘‘nuisance’’ wagon and his free speaking wife (whose child was conceived on top of a ferris wheel, for want of something better to do). At the centre of the action is Matt Stanley, publisher and editor of the Shelby Chronicle. Though a happily married man, he takes a visiting sociologist under his wing. Spy Sinker completes the spy trilogy by Len Deighton and will be snapped up by everyone hooked on that and the previous trilogy, Game, Set and Match. Apparently, the fall of the Berlin Wall has knocked the stuffing out of the espionage genre and this book comes over a little flat. However, people still want to know what really motivated Fiona Samson and whether Bernard and her re-made their marriage. Thomas Gifford is known for his gripping novels of suspense and doesn’t let his fans down with Assassin, a wonderfully sinister thriller, which pits a tenacious investigator against a shadowy conspiracy with roots deep in the past. Inside the Vatican, a pope lies dying; in an obscure Irish monastery an explosive document is hidden; in a New Jersey family chapel, a nun is murdered at her prayers. Her lawyer brother, ex-Jesuit Ben Driskoll, sets himself to find her killer. His investigation reveals the deaths of eight people connected with the Church and yet again and Library gets new batch of non-fiction for kids again he’s turned away from Church matter~. His search takes him to the Egyptian desert, Montmatre, Avignon arid Rome. There he meets a nun conducting her own investigation into her friend's murder. The Last Raven is another dazzling novel of suspense from Craig Thomas. Inside the Afghanistan border a military transport plane lies half submerged in a lake. Everyone on board is dead and all identification lost. One of England's top intelligence operatives discovers the identity of one of the bodies and realizes this was no accident but an expertly planned shoot down. With Meridon, the English writer Phillippa Gregory has completed her best selling Wideacre trilogy. The gypsy heroine, Meridon, knows in her bones she doesn’t belong in the dirty vagabond life she’s forced to lead. As she rides her horse around rich wheat fields, she fantasizes about being mistress of these wise acres. A necklace she’s had since birth proves her to be the rightful heiress to the estate. One of my personal favorites, Mary Wesley, has written another of her deliciously different noveis, which can be sometimes demure, sometimes shocking, always entertaining. A Sensible Life takes us, in the spring of 1926, to Brittany where a number of middle class English families have taken their children to catch a glimpse of foreign soil and learn a few words of French. Flora, a lonely 10-year-old, meets some easy, affectionate, confident young people and falls in love with three of them, Cosmo and Hubert, 15-year-old public schoolboys, and Felix, a 21-year-old Dutchman. Spanning nearly 40 years, the novel traces Flora’s relationships with these three with tenderness, wit and acute social perception. The Nobel prize-winning author, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, has a new historical novel in which a legendary hero is rescued from myth and made real. The General in His Labyrinth recounts the turbulent life of the great Simon Bolivar, the liberator of South America, showing him as the consummate orchestrator of political and military intrigue, as a fighter capable of mercy and ruthlessness, as a lover and libertine. The story is told in the framework of a seven-month voyage down the Magdalena River from Bogata to the sea. Bolivar, now forced from power, embarks with his retinue on his journey which is both a fantasy of triumphal progress from port to port and a ni of loss and i N-Space by Larry Niven is a retrospective collection from all phases of the famous science- fiction writer’s career.

LDA holds parent meeting It's not easy being a parent at any time, but when your child has an in- visible handicap, it’s really tough. The Castlegar Chapter of the Learning Disabilities Association of B.C. recently held a parent support meeting to help parents of children with learning disabilities share ideas and exchange information. Sometimes people think of lear- ning disabilities as only aci but it’s much more, the assoc says. The handieap is hidden, so dif- ficulties in organizing thoughts, making friends, finishing tasks, remembering, reasoning or hyperac- tivity are often blamed on other fac- . It could be difficulty reading ig things literally. Some children with a lear- ning disability can’t take a joke. They don't understand, the association says. As a parent, it’s always in the back of your mind that you're not helping enough. You have to teach the child responsibility for the disability — but do they have the knowledge to cope? Through the support meeting, paren- ts learned from other parents how to help their children at home. They do not take over teaching as it is more | important to be a_ parent. The next meeting is scheduled for December at Stanley Humphries secondary school. MATHIESON © Energetic © Optimistic © Concerned.
