HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Lucknow Sentinel, 1993-07-21, Page 3Nigel wins three more medals
The three medals Nigel won on
' July 3 now brings his total count up
to 10 medals. However, it's not the
medals or competition that counts,
but that he's always trying his best.
Nigel Black is seven -years -old
and has been training with the
Wingham Optimist Track and Field
Club since last fall. Nigel is the son
of Joan and Dave Black of RR 1,
Lucknow.
When first asked if he would like
to join the dab, Nigel wasn't so
sure if he'd like that.
"I said no at first because I didn't
know anybody, but now I've got to
know everybody," he said in an
interview last week. "I like running
and I get to exercise a lot."
Volunteer coaches help make the
competition fun.
"The club is a lot of fun. The
coaches urge you to strive for your
personal best rather than have you
look at it as just competing against
others," said Joan. "This makes for
a nice atmosphere when you got to
a meet."
Nigel has taken part in winter
indoor track and field meets as well
as outdoor summer meets. His
favorite events are the long jump
and 800m. At the July 3 meet in
Oshawa Nigel broke the club's Mite
(ages 7, 8) records in the 400m and
800m, placing second in both
events, and finished second in long
jump.
"The kids get to try every event,
rather than being placed in any
specific event. This way they get to
see what they like to do," said Joan:
Nigel met Olympians Michael
Smith and Doug Wood, of Win-
gham, at the last meet.
Smith is "nice with the kids and
a very good inspiration to them,"
said Joan,
The Wingham club practices
twice a week at F.E. Madill Secon-
dary School. Participants don't have
to commit themselves to every
practice,. but do have to make a
commitment to attend some meets
throughout the year, she said.
A practice session consists of
Nigel Black, 7, of RR 1, Lucknow, came home from the Ontario
Outdoor Minor Track and Field Championships with three
medals. The meet was held in Oshawa on July 3 and Nigel
attended the meet along with other members of the WIngham
Optimist Track and Field Club. (Debbie Davidson photo)
warm-up exercises, playing fun
games and then practicing a specific
event. Sharon Askes, of Lucknow,
helps the young athletes with their
training exercises.
Although Nigel's five-year-old
brother Hamish has participated in
pre -Tyke events, he's still not old
enough to join the Wingham club.
However, Hamish has every inten-
tion of joining the club this fall.
Club practices begin in Septem-
ber, and the first meet will find
Nigel trying to do his personal best
again.
West Wawanosh history still needed
The typesetters are busy preparing
the West Wawanosh history book.
Committee members have not
hung up their'notebooks yet and are
still tracking down lost names and
that one great photo that would
complete a farm history.
Editor Rhea Hamilton Seeger is in
a fevered pitch to find the original
picture taken during the building of
the Si Augustine Church. She has
a photocopy of the church showing
the workers taking a break and the
front of the limestone structure is
almost finished except for the very

The original picture ,was owned by,
Mary Fuller who is now deceased.
Hopefully a family member or a
friend will have the picture and
give Rhea a call a't 529-7238.
Members of the history book
committee are still waiting to hear
from people who promised to call
and haven't yet. The committee is
made up of volunteers and is .very
much aware of all the demands
made on each and every one of us.
But the final bits and pieces needed
to make this history book complete
are a priority now.
.If you have material waiting for
someone to pick up don't wait any
longer. Call Rhea or better yet drop
it into the mail to RR 3 Auburn and
Rhea will be able to get it into the
book.
This is the last chance to get
pictures or family information into
the West Wawanosh History Book.
