The other game against LVR was as one sided as a game can get. The score shows the young age and development of the Nel son team. “The Nelson team is a real young team. We have some young players on our team, but our grade tens are real good,” Closkey said The Rockettes opened their play-off series against Trail's Crowe last night in Trail and the next game is Thursday at Stanley Humphries If the Rockettes come out on the winning end of the play-off series then they will earn a trip to the Provincial play-offs, which will be held the second week of March in Kamloops.

Both teams have the same chance as the other to move on to the next round of the play-offs. While planning a Strategy for the team to use throughout the series against Grand Forks wer plans on getting his players to try and stay on the ice and avoid giving Grand Forks chances to score on the power. play. “We have to stay on the ice, they (Grand Forks) are dominating on the power-play.” If the Rebels are successful at staying on the ice, then the players will be in a position to carry on with other plans the coach has for the play offs “We need to play a hard forechecking game with strong physical play in order to use the body and slow them (Grand Forks) down,” Sauer said Playing their last regular season games over the weekend g Grand Forks on Friday, and the Rossland Warrior the book on their regular season action The Rebels used the game against the Border Bruins on Friday night to try a different style of play and to determine a strategy to be used for the play-offs against the team in league with the best record “We went out to play a different style,” Sauer said That different style was to play the game one period at a time and to treat each period as a separate game. When you break the game in Grand Forks into separate periods, Castlegar came out on the losing end of the first period 1-0, the second period went to Grand Forks 6-1 and the final period was a tie 1-1 “Other than the second period it was a close, well played game. I was pleased with the game, the players accomplished the task (to play the style of game the team set out to play),” Sauer said. * One of the goals during the game was to keep the Border Bruins top scorers from getting points. Castlegar kept Grand Forks and one of the leagues top scorers from getting any points “We tried to keep their big guns down, and it worked,” Sauer said Castlegar called on the services of five players from the Castlegar Midget teams to offset injuries to players in the regular lineup for the weekend games. “It was nice to use the minor hockey system,” Sauer said Fred Gienger scored the only goal for the Rebels in Grand Forks. The goal was assisted by another new player, Brian Grycan and a regu- lar Rebel Todd Doyle Travelling to Rossland for their last game of the regular season, Castlegar handed the Warriors a 7-5 loss. The Rebels received two goals from Brian Yackel who was called up from the Midget team and helped out in the win. Mark Graff lead AUNT on Saturday closed the way to the win with three goals, Adding the other markers for the Rebels were Jarrod Beck and Jerry. Holz. While the Warriors came out to play an aggressive and rough game, Sauer said it was to impress their (Rossland) home fans in the last game of the year. “They went crazy on the fights. My players did'not back down, it was mainly to protect themselves,” Sauer said By the end of the game, the player reserve On the Rebels bench was getting quite low, there were only two players left on the bench. “Our bench was real thin, there were only two players left at the end of the game: . the players got lots of ice time.” There was a total of 282 penalty minutes handed out in the game, which appeared tobe more like a free-for-all boxing match, rather than a hockey game With that game, and the season behind them, Sauer says his team has had a successful season “We had a pretty good season overall, as a coach I am pleased with it.” y \ s tlegar & District Home Support ~S!

After a year of spending to help appease their traditional supporters, the NDP has discov ered that they cannot simply take up the slack by simply raising the taxes on “the wealthy”. Nor will the federal government pick up the tab, as learned from the Ontario experience. The end result is a government running around like the veritable headless chicken, trying to figure out how to do something it has never even considered doing before - cutting | spending. Because of this rather chaotic program of cutback, some of the government's earlier pork-barrel gratuities have returned to haunt it.

Normally, tuition hikes run about 5 or 6 percent a year, UBC has requested a hike of almost 12 percent. So, the only ones to benefit will be those stu- dents lucky enough to graduate this year, while those registering for courses next year will bear their burden.
