and would rather get equal and fair ice time on a losing team than sit on the bench of a winning one.

Asa coach, you have a respon-

__ sibility to encourage players to be the best they can be, and provide equal opportunitiés for them to develop self-esteem and sport skills. When you play your tal- ented athletes more often, you make other players féel less important and deny them the chance to improve their skills.

Hockey is an excellent vehicle to make players feel valued and experience success.

Here are some suggestions:

+ expose all players to special situations (power plays, penalty killing): experiencing both suc- cess and failure in these situa- tions is part of sport;

* provide players opportuni- ties to assume leadership roles by allowing all to be a captain or an assistant during the season,

+ when planning practices, ensure that all players are always active during every drill and avoid games involving elimina- tion: no-one learns anything by standing around;

+ if players, parents or support staff resist your efforts to provide equal ice time, remind them to keep in perspective: players play for fun, fitness, and to develop life and hockey skills.

Winning games can be fun, but not when it deprives players of equal and fair. ice time. Give everyone a chance, be support- ive and patient, and hockey will be more rewarding for you and your players.

Council seeking . 24-hour crossing -

RON NORMAN Sun Editor

Castlegar council wants the U.S. government to provide a 24-hour border crossing at either Patterson or Waneta.

Council voted last week to contact Kootenay West-Revel- stoke MP Jim Gouk and Rass- land-Trail MLA Ed Conroy to develop a strategy for a 24-hour U.S. crossing.

“There have been ongoing discussions about the location of a 24-hour border crossing,” said Councillor Ron Armbruster.

FOR SMELTER FAILURE

Cominco gets $18 million

STERLING NEWS SERVICE

Five years after abandoning a controversial lead smelter, Com- inco has reached an $18-million out-of-court settlement with the German-based designer.

The payment covers the resource giant's claims against Lurgi AG and related companies for failure of the QSL smelter technology.

The QSL oxygen smelting

B-€.'s first of morethan 150 paint collection facilities to be located around the province was opened last week by Environ- ment, Lands and Parks Minister Moe Sihota. The facility is one of two types that will provide B.C. consumers with the options of return-to-retail or central collec- tion facilities for managing their leftover paint.

The launch of the stewardship program was hosted at the Ross Bay Home Hardware store in Victoria by Home Hardware of Canada’s Jamie Kent, general manager, paint and home prod- ucts division.

“This permanent program will finally allow people in all com- munities to return their leftover paint free of charge and on a reg- ular basis,” said Sihota.

The paint industry in B.C. has responded to the paint steward- ship regulation passed in July 1994 with three separate plans that have recently been approved by the ministry.

Home Hardware will be accepting all brands of paint at its 105 stores around the province, including those in the West Kootenay. This plan begins with

The old lead smelter was returned to service in 1990 and, after years of frustration, a deci- sion was reached in April, 1993, to abandon the QSL process.

Roger Watson, responsible for Cominco’s worldwide smelting and_ refining operations. said this was “the final settlement for out- standing claims.”

By the end of February, all 105 stores will be accepting leftover paint. As well, all Home Hard- ware brand paints collected will be recycled.

The settlement comes just as construction begins on the new Kivcet smelter, modeled after an operating smelter in the former Soviet republic of Kazakhstan.

noted: “The need for a bilateral 24-hour border crossing in the West Kootenays is becoming more evident.”

Gustafson said such a cross- ing would mean an increase in commercial and tourist traffic and “lead to new opportunities on both sides of the border.”

He suggested council take a more active role in the issue.

“Council involvement with this strategic issue is a key con- sideration for 1995," he said.

“The failure of the smelter was certainly no good for Lurgi who spent millions trying to resolve the problém. Nobody wins when technology fails.”

The PCA has been working with local governments around the province to establish perma- nént, community-basedcollection programs-either fixed or mobile collection facilities—in each regional district.

Sherwin-Williams is also pro- viding consumers with a return- to-retail option by accepting all brands of paint at its two B.C. stores located in Langley and Delta. The reusable latex prod- ucts collected will be recycled. As sell, Sherwin-Williams does not plan to collect an eco fee from its customers.

Paist Care Association, an industry association representing the remaining 47 brandowners in the province, is pursuing a differ- ent, non-retail based strategy.
