Cmacri Luge competitor A former Luclumw man, Donald An- drew, son of Alex and Catherine An- drew, be nakhig a name for Nowell as a lager. Presently residing in ' Olds, Alberta, Mr. Andrew took Part in the Drummond International Natural Luge Race in Red Deer on January 13 and 14. He placed second with a time of 3:22.24 in the Master Men's category, just behind Austria's Hennes Robitsch. He also placed first in the North American Competition.. Natural luge iss compared to "sliding down an icy mountain roam with curves and twists." The corners aren't banked like the Olympic Track Luge competi- tions. It is not an Olympic sport at this time but it is hoped that it will be a demonstration sport in the 1992 Winter Games. r, = -r-• Donald Andrew The Standard commissions historic book A comprehensive history, of St. "Catharines and district, from first settle- ment to the present day, has been com- missioned ommissioned . by The St. Catharines Standard.
