News TheReview Wednesday, February 27,1991 — A14 Recently, I had the opportu- nity to dine in the Stelly’s Dining Room. This unique res- taurant, run by students, has an impressive selection and friendly service. Career Prep 12 students, many who aspire to enter the gourmet cooking field, prepare the main entrees. The Cafeteria 10 students complete short orders and serve customers. Stelly’s Dining Room cus- tomers can enjoy the quiet and professional setting, and choose from a wide selection of soups, salads, appetizers, entrees, deserts, and an extensive vari- ety of beverages including cof- fee, gourmet teas, fruit juices and so on. Nothing on the menu exceeds $3.80. The Dining Room is open to the public Tuesday to Thursday from 11:30 a.m. and reserva- tions may be made by calling 652-4401, local 115. The committee for Stelly’s second annual healthy living conference, “Putting the Pieces Dining in style at Stelly’s Together for the “90s,” is very busy as the date of the confer- ence, March 26th, draws closer Grade 11 and 12 students will participate in the day’s activities. The keynote speech is by psychiatrist Dr. Jim Ricks on how attitudes affect well- being. Following the keynote speech, students will attend sessions of their choice, such as: Is it Really Love? Time Management, Your Future, and Getting Through the Bad Times. In the afternoon, all the students will gather again for a panel discussion. Some committee members of Stelly’s attended a similar con- ference, “On The Road to a Better You’, at Claremont on February 20th for an exchange of ideas. They extend a warm wel- come to the organizers to attend “Putting the Pieces Together,” in return for their hospitality. The school board has approved the fourth annual “Ambassador's Tour,” an edu- cational and fun-filled trip for Grade 10 and 11 honors stu- dents. This year’s destination is Eugene, Oregon. Plans include an overnight Stay in Seattle, a tour of the University of Oregon, a visit to a local high school, and much more. Fundraising activities will start soon to offset the estimated cost of $300 Cdn. Venya Heath placed first in the Brentwood Bay Rotary Speech Contest and will partic- ipate in a leadership conference in Otiawa. Amrick Birke, who came in second, will be travel- ling to Tacoma, Washington. Sidney approves PEMO’s budget The Peninsula Emergency Measures Organization received $8,500 initial funding from Sidney council Feb. 18 and a promise to consider giving $2,200 more after 1991 budget deliberations. PEMO co-ordinator Dick Reyn- olds is asking for $10,733.33 from each of the Peninsula municipalit- ies — up 24 per cent from last year — to pay for 50 per cent of a $12,000 truck, operating expenses and other capital expenditures. Council members applauded Reynolds for the work he has done with the organization but ques- tioned the increase in his total budget to $32,200. Reynolds explained that an additional $6,000 is to pay for half the cost ofa tandem-axle tractor unit that will be used to pull PEMO’s mobile command centre trailer, should a $6,000 grant application to the federal govern- ment be approved. The proposed budget is reduced by $3,600 in provincial grants and a $3,000 surplus from last year. Central Saanich has also agreed to fund the program’s 1991 budget. In other emergency program news, a desktop emergency response exercise is scheduled for April 24 to coincide with Emer- gency Preparedness Week, April 22-26. To be held at the Sidney Silver Threads, the exercise will respond to potential disaster situations with many people working on an earth- quake scenario, Reynolds said. Personnel at the federal, provin- cial and municipal level will be involved along with staff from the school district, hospital, health department, media and various private firms. - ; second-place finish for HtO against top-ranked teams The Peninsula-based HtO Got- cha volleyball team overcame some of the best teams in the Pacific Northwest to place second . in ifs group at a prestigious Van- couver tournament, Saturday. Team spokesman Lorne Chan said his team won three games, tied one and lost two games at the B.C. Volleyball Association Tier 1 Invitational event in Vancouver. “We did really well considering we were up against some top national and varsity players from all over the Pacific Northwest,” Chan said. The absence of two of his team’s key players due to injury didn’t hamper the Gotcha squad too much, he said. “We only had six players but our passing was good and we were able to use our whole offensive arsenal,” he said. The team’s only real weak spot was in blocking due to the absence of six-foot-seven Andy Jariz. Having won a berth to the quar- ter final of the tournament, Gotcha “just ran out of steam” as the team went down 15-10, 15-12 to Vic- toria team Farwest Nandor, he said. The team’s only other loss was on points difference after it split a match with Seattle Redsand — winning one game 15-13 and los- ing the next 15-9. The team’s shorthanded victory over the highly-ranked three other opponents was a tribute to the Gotcha squad’s mettle, Chan said. “We came from behind most times and it showed a lot of character. It was a real team effort and we really supported each other,” Chan said. Gothca dumped Douglas Col- lege 15-5, 15-6 and also defeated Victoria-based Team Offshore 15- 12, 15-9. The Peninsula squad edged Van- couver team Quicksilver 15-11, 15-13, too. Gotcha’s outstanding player was middle blocker Steve Podmorrow. _ Satisfy Your Burning Desire... _ Guilt-Free!
