SHSS j junior g

JEFF GABERT ‘Sun Sports _ Sports

For junior basketball players in the West Kootenay the pinnacle of basketball greatness is always in the future when they eventual- ly join the senior ranks. Still, it's always nidée to win in the minor circuit while you're there.

Both the Stanley Humphries junior basketball teams saw action last weekend as the West Kootenay champions were crowned for 1995. Since there are no provincial finals in the junior ranks, it meant the end of the sea- son for both teams and they both

to end on a winning note.

¢ junior Rockettes have been buming up their opposition all season and they were looking

to turn on the afterburners going into, action last weekend. The West Kootenay Championships were held at the SHSS Gym and the team tok full advantage of home court.

On Friday night they went up against Trafalgar in the opening round and easily walked away with a 54-15 win. Meanwhile the Rossland Royals took care of J.L. Crowe and became SHSS’s competition for Saur- day's final at 5 p.m.

The final game of the season for the Rockettes turned into a nightmare as the Royals fought them tooth and nail for the West Kootenay crown. It was a game that SHSS coach Collette Ritchie only had one word for

— “ugly”.

EGISTRATION

The final score was 43-40 for the junior Rockettes but the close win made the ginger ale taste a lit- tle bitter.

“I was not overly excited with the game,” said Ritchie, “Most of our wins, we've scored in the fifties and a let of my Grade 10 players didn't come out like I thought they should. Their seemed to be a lot of hesitancy to score. It certainly wasn't the way I wanted to play in the final.”

Even still, Ritchie was happy that her team succeeded in it's goal to capture the West Kootenay Championship and conceded that the season certainly wasn't all bad.

“It's been a very positive season with mostly wins,” said Ritchie. “We had a lull a few weekends but the whole season was fairly uneventful and positive. It was one of the most winning seasons that I can remember and the quality of play should continue next year.”

The junior boys team also par- ticipated.in the West Kootenay playoffs which were held in Grand Forks on Friday.

Coach Doug Hickey has a very young team this year and their youth showed as they bowed out to first-place Grand Forks in the opening round 63-45.

“We were without a couple players because the used up their eligibility and that hurt us,” said Hickey. “The boys were disap- pointed because they felt they were making a good run but I was teally happy with them overall.”

Hickey’s biggest problem was his lack of experienced Grade 10 players on his club since many had moved up to the senior team. SHSS has a basic philosophy of keeping the senior team well stacked while using the junior team as a developmental group.

“The job of the junior program is to get the junior players up to speed,” said Hickey. “If we had Strictly a Grade nine and ten team, I’m sure we would win the West Kootenay.”

But in Hickey’s opinion, it’s all worth it.

“I’m always excited to spend time with quality kids and they didn’t disappoint me this year,” said Hickey, “They played hard from the opening buzzer and I'm™ looking forward to next year.”

think the game will be a lot tighter checking and there will be a lot of goals scored. Overall I think that benefits us.”

While most people are prog- nosticating a seven game series, Sauer and his team are keeping things in tighter perspective.

“Our team always tries to focus period by period,” said Sauer. “This series is best out of five now with Grand Forks hold- ing home-ice advantage We have to win a game there.”

Rebel Rousings: The Rebel coaching staff has decided to go with the hot hand through the next two games. J.C Moore will see the start on Tuesday and will also be between the pipes Wednesday if he play well. How- ever, Sauer will not hesitate to change ‘tenders if he has too.

Bruin forward Jay Hern almost single handedly tore up the Warriors but he’s been get- ting ripped apart by the awe- some Rebel checking line of Kevin MacGillvray, Wade Burt and Casey Grant. So far Hern has the big goose egg and Bor- der Bruin fans will certainly be wondering if he'll ever crack.

“SHARLENE IMHOFF

For The Castlegar Sun

If well-known Castlegar resi- dent Ingeborg Thor-Larsen hasn't been seen much lately, it could be because she’s busy preparing for the upcoming Magic Mirrors gala evening, to be held April 1 at the National Exhibition Centre gallery.

For the last several weeks Thor-Larsen, an experienced weaver, has been sitting at her loom, preparing a large colorful shawl that will be placed for auc- tion during this fundraising event that will benefit both the Canadi- an Red Cross and the National

A unique opportunity is com- ing for local residents who enjoy and appreciate modern dance The dance troupe Amorce will teach and perform works from their imaginative repertoire on March 18 at the Ymir Communi- ty Hall.

The day begins at 10 a.m. with a 60-minute children’s dance workshop. In the after- noon, a three-hour workshop for adults begins at noon.

An evening performance, which begins a7:30 p-m., wilt showcase Amorce’s expressive and often comic interpretation of both modern and classical

Exhibition Centre.

Using a “boucle” yarn from France, the shawl will not be complete until Thor-Larsen has placed her finishing touches in order that the shawl falls under the charity's theme, Magic Mir- rors. This talented Kootenay woman will be hand stitching decorative “shisha mirrors” onto the garment, providing an irides- cent-like finish.

“It certainly does take an amount of time, but the shawl will raise money for a good cause,” said Thor-Larsen, who is expecting to spend at least 25 hours on the project

From Thor-Larsen’s shawl to jewellery to glassware, talented artists, both local and beyond, are preparing the Magic Mirrors gala evening. Many of the artists’ cre- ations are now on display at the NEC, and will continue to be up until the gala event. Area resi- dents are more than welcome to come and browse.

Last year a similar auction raised more than $7,000 and vol- unteers organizing the event are hopeful the upcoming event will

Over the past few years, the Kootenays has been the setting for an on-again, off-again love affair with the film industry. Last summer the local filmmaking activity was unprecedented with location shooting in Kaslo on a film called Glenn Orkey, starring Mark Harmon, a period piece call Hakujin about the. Japanese internment in New Denver, and a feature-length film shot in Nelson called Gold Diggers.

Lorraine Duske hopes to increase the area’s film activity by selling both the location and the local talent to filmmakers from California and Vancouver. Duske is the West Kootenay's first casting agent, who is using her connections with the industry to promote filmmakers to “shoot the Kootenays”

To develop a pool of local tal- ent, Duske is preparing to reprise the successful three-day work- shop for aspiring actors featuring internationally-recognized direc- tor Michael Berry. Berry is a graduate of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, where he trained as an actor.

With more than 70 British the- atre productions to his credit, he also spend two years with drama department of BBC television. He was also an instructor with the British Drama League

Berry exp the fi king process, what the industry expects of the professional actor, fudition techniques, photo and resume requirements of aspiring actors, studio and location proce- dures, how to survive cold read- ings, the art of non-acting, and television and film technology.
