Carew, along with assistant coach Mario Fehrenberg, are con- fident several swimmers will carn medals at Provincials. The team has trained hard to build skills, stamina, and speed, and the indi- vidual coaching is shoeing good results so far this season.

“Last year they placed sixth so we're definitely looking to do a little better,” said Carew. “Stanley Humphries has a history of doing well at the Provincials so we're looking for some strong swims.”

One of the swimmers whom Carew is looking for to provide good results and strong leader- ship is grade 11 student and Aquanaut star Adam Rodgers. Rodgers qualified first in 50 metre breast stroke and has been

goaltenders, considered by many to be one of the best tandems in the league

“The key to the weekend was good goaltending,” said Rebels goaltender coach Randy Kirby. “They made the key saves at the key times. They're definitely getting better. Kooznetsoff is getting more confident and he's one of the best in the league right now. Les is just going to get better and better. He's just a 16-year-old kid right now and has never really been coached.”

The two Rebels victories in the Crypt makes it six straight wins with a tough game coming up this Sunday versus the Sica- mous Eagles. The Rebels have yet to face the League leading Eagles who have compiled a record of 15 wins with only a single loss. But then again, vis- iting the Crypt can always mffle a few feathers.

“Sicamous is 15-1 and we'll go to all extremes to knock them off,” said Sauer. “Their first loss of the season was early and they’ve been on a healthy win- ning streak. We want to break that streak. We'll also be looking forward to shooting pucks at [for- mer Rebel goalie) Johnny Ray.”

Game time is 2 p.m. at the Castlegar Recreation Complex.

War is hell...

tatistics can never measure the pain felt by mothers as they send their sons, daughters, or husbands to war, nor can it measure the human toll that all war exacts from its participants. It can never measure the pain of the smile that is lost forever, nor can measure the loss of innocence or hope. War is not just men marching home to the sound of raucous cheers, or the tight embrace of a returning son close to the bosom of a relieved mother. Those who served at war remember it much differently. To them war is the sound of their buddy’s last breath, the cries of pain, the colour of red. War is the cutting loneliness felt on foreign soil, it’s the gut-wrenching fear felt 24 hours a day, it’s the question echoing through their heads “Will this be the day I die?” War is something they will always remember.

War has taken its toll...

ince World War 1 112,016 Canadians military troops have died at war. In World War | 628,736 Canadians served; 66,573 died; 138,166 were wounded; 2,818 were taken prisoner of war; and 175 merchant seamen died by enemy action. World War II also saw its share of death: 1,031,902 male Canadians and 49,963 female Canadians served; 44,927 died; 53,145 were wounded; and 1,146 merchant seamen died by enemy action. The Korean war also saw many 26,791 Canadi

full nationhood which had begun during World War |. Canada also provided military forces to support United Nations operations in Korea from 1950-1953. Some 20,000 army personnel served during the war and three Royal Canadian Navy destroyers operated in Korean waters.

The Canadian Forces Reorganization Bill on Feb. 1, 1968

“Throughout Canada in each and every year, the 11th day of November, being the day in the year 1918 on which the Great War was triumphantly concluded by an armistice, is a holiday and shall be kept and observed as such under the name of Remembrance Day.”

unified the three former services and c d for two decades. Although never officially de-unified, the forces

retuned to the three traditional service uniforms in 1988. The Mobile, and Air C ds once again became the navy, army and air force.

Known around the world as peacekeepers, the Canadian Forces

served; 516 died; 1,558 were wounded; and 33 were taken prisoner of war.

Although there were no casualties in Gulf War, 3,837 male Canadians and 237 female Canadians served. There were no prisoners of war taken.

The Canadian armed forces in the 20th century has its own unique history. In 1914 Canada’s population was only 7.5 million, but within three weeks of the outbreak of World War | some 45,000 civilians had volunteered for service. On Oct. 3-4, 1914, the first 30,000 Canadian troops set sail aboard 33 ships heading for England.

The “Great War” lasted until 1918, and most historians agree that Canada came of age during that conflict.

On April 1, 1924, the Royal Canadian Air Force was formed. During World War ll, some 237,000 men and women of the Canadian Army served in Northwest Europe, while another 97,5000 served in Italy.

It wasn’t until 1945 that Canada had completed the transition to

have participated in every United Nations peacekeeping operations since the Suez Crisis of 1956. Some of the major i have included Cyprus, Egypt, the Congo and India-Pakistan. Following Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait in 1990, Canada joined with other nations to provide military forces to enforce UN sanctions against Iraq and extended to participation in the Gulf War from Jan. to April, 1991.

The beginning of the observance of Remembrance Day came when Parliament amended the Armistice Day Act in 1931 after insi Pp from The Canadian Legion. The Act directed that Nov. 11 be set aside as a day distinct and apart from any other observance in order that Canadians could pay special tribute to those “who gave their lives that freedom might prevail”.

In 1970 The Holidays Act was passed by Parliament which included among other holidays, Remembrance Day.

An extract from the Act read as follows:

Although there are many veterans’ organizations in Canada, the largest by far is The Royal Canadian Legion. Boasting 580,000 members and affiliates nationwide, the Legion receives no assistance from any outside agency.

Since being formed in 1925, the Legion has focused its efforts on the fight to secure adeq' P and other fits for veterans and their dependants. Acting as an advocacy agency on pensioner’s behalf, the Legion deals directly with the federal government to ensure that ex-military personnel and their dependants are treated fairly.

Even though Canada's war veterans are gradually disappearing—the average age of World War ll veterans is now 73-years-old, while Korean veterans are in their mid-60s— there are still some 500,000 veterans remaining in Canada.

As strong and vital as those veterans who the Legion supports, the Legion’s Service Bureau will eventually become one of the major legacies left by Canada’s to future g i

of service members.

War should not be forgotten...

his November 11 take time to reflect on those who fought so valiantly, and pray that war will cease once

and for all.

Synonymous with Remembrance Day is the poppy, which is remembran¢e of the poppies which grow in Flander’s Field where thousands of Allies lay dead after the Battle of Flanders during World War ll.

Weeks before Remembrance Day you will find Legion members standing in malls and on comers offering poppies for donations. But where does the money go that is collected for the poppies?

Funds are used in many ways such as:

+ Assistance to ex-service personnel and their dependents.

« Low rental housing and care facilities for elderly or disabled persons and their dependents. °C ity medical appli and medical research.

+ Day care centres, meals-on-wheels, transportation and related services.

« Cost of poppies, wreaths and suppli

+ Paying for bursaries for needy students
