g Personal practice

EXTRA ICE TIME is something almost every hockey
player in Terrace wishes for, and that’s what nine-
year-old Mark Biagioni found on the Skeena River.
Mark and his dad Bob Biagioni hit the ice for a little
pre-game practice session on Friday afternoon.

Quesnel wins

TERRACE Peewee and
Midget rep hockey teams
both saw plenty of action in
the dying days of 1996 as
they faced off at a tourna-
ment in Quesnel.

The hard-fought tourney,
held December 27-30, saw
the peewees finish fourth
and the midgets tie for sec-
ond place.

Both teams came out fly-
ing. The Peewees trampled
the host Quesnel team 8-6,
while the Midgets showed
similar stuff against their
Quesnel counterparts, win-
ning 6-4.

Unfortunately, the
Peewees went on to lose
two in row, going down to
Chetwynd 9-6 and Prince
George 4-2.

However, they bounced
back to victory against Wil-
liams Lake, crushing the
pond boys 7-2 before being
trampled themselves 8-3 by

past Kitimat to take the
overall finals 9-2.

Meanwhile the Midgets’
second match put them up
against their arch-rivals
from Kitimat. Kitimat has
played consistently well all
year, and the Quesnel
tournament was mot an ex-
ception. The aluminum
squad tromped Terrace 8-2.

However, the Terrace
Midgets bounced back to
lake their next two games,
winning 8-4 against Vander-
hoaf, then 8-6 over Kam-
loops.

But the tired Midgets just
couldn't bang on in their
last match against Williams
Lake, The team lost their
scoring touch and the game,
7-1.

‘We played pretty well,
but ran out of gas in that last
game,’’ says Midgets coach
Bruce Nicholls.

Nicholls says that his team

Bank Lowers Credit Without Notice

The bank’s account manager glanced
at the file of Wildwood Co. The warning
bells began ringing,

“Last year a profit. This year a loss.
Looks like there's trouble brewing. Better
act quickly."

Bert called to his assistant. “Claude,
lower Wildwood's line of credit from
$300,000 ta $200,000."

“It's done, And I'll let the company, —
know immediately.”

Bert looked alarmed,

“Don’t you dare. I've been around this
bank along time. The moment the
customer thinks you're getting nervous,
he begins'to squirrel away his assets. So
if we have to lower the boom and take
over, we wan't be able to find anything.”

The next day, Bill Wildwood, owner of
Wildwood, called Bert. He knew nothing
of the change.

“| have to give a supplier a cheque for
$422,000. | know It's over my $300,000
limit, but ("Il be able to cover it within a
coupie of days. Is that okay?”

Bert acted nervous. “Bill, I'm over my
head here right now. Let me get back to
you tomorrow.”

Bill hung up the phone. Something was
strange. lt was the first time Bert
couldn't give him an answer to
something that had besn a
commonplace oceurrence in Wildwood's
dealings with the bank, “Maybe he's just
having a bad day,” Bill thought. “I'm
doing to go ahead and issue the
cheque."

A week later, Bill got a call from Bert.
“Sorry, but we had to NSF your cheque
to the supplier. We had to lower your line
of credit to $200,000,”

by Claire Bernstein

"Based On Actual Court Cases

Bill was furious. “You guys are too big
for your breeches. If you'd had the
decency to let me know you were going
to do that, | would have arranged for
other financing.”

Bert made him an offer. “Bill, we'll
cover the cheque if you give us your
personal guarantee.”

There was silence, If Bill refused, his
company would have to go bankrupt.
Finally, he spoke:

“You're not getting it.”

Two months later, Wildwood declared
bankruptcy and Bill sued the bank for
damages for causing the bankruptcy.

tn court, Bill tooked angry. “The bank
created a crisis by lowering our credit
without telling us. We would have sought
alternative financing. They caused our
bankruptcy. Make them pay.”

The bank argued, “Your honar,
Wildwood was in financial trouble before
we reduced their credit. In fact, we
reduced the credit because we noticed
that they were having problems. The
reduced line of credit did not cause any
additional losses. Bankruptcy was
inevitable. We owe nothing.

Is the bank responsible for Wildwood’s
bankruptcy? YOU! BE THE JUDGE, then
look below for the court's decision.

: YOU BE THE JUDGE - DECISION

“MR. BANK, YOU WENT TO FAR. PAY THE WILDWOOD COMPANY $422,000 IN
DAMAGES."

The judge wasn’t impressed with the bank's argument. “It’s the equivalent to a mili-
tary doctor's opinion that a soldier isn’t a true war casualty because the grenade didn’t
kill him immediately but merely blew off his legs and he then committed suicide
before the gangrene set in.”

Today's decision is based on the facts of the case and the law of Alberta. Claire Bernstein is a

Tip #4

All Terrain Skiing Tip

To begin skiing the bumps select widely spaced bumps on a moderate
slope that you feel comfortable on. Begin by traversing the bumps and
absorbing them by flexing your knees and ankles. Now yse the top of the
top of bumps to help you turn your skiis then complete your turn as you ski
down the backside of the mogul. At first, traverse across a couple of
bumps between turns to help control your speed. As your confidence
builds you can shorten your turns. |

‘

An all terrain ski clinic for all parallel skiers will be held on January 11.
Skiers will be grouped according to ability. Cost is $25 including taxes for
a 2.5 hour lesson. — 7
