Correction
Skaters
did well at
Nationals
The Citizen wishes to apolo
gize to our local figure skating
champions for a story last week
which inferred they had not
done well at the recent Cana
dian National Figure Skating
Championships in Chicoutimi.
As always, Kerrie Shepherd,
Peter MacDonald, Kevin Whee
ler and Michelle Menzies all
turned in brilliant performan
ces, and to imply otherwise was
the result of our reporter failing
to understand the intricacies of
a very complicated sport.
In placing 8th in the Junior
Dance Division in their first year
of Junior competition/Peter and
Kerrie stated one of their best-
ever performances, advancing
an astounding 12 places over
their fourth place win as Novices
at the Nationals last year. Their
goal was to be in the top half of
the competition at Chicoutimi
and they were precisely on
target, placing above several
Canadian Divisional champions
to achieve this.
In placing fourth at the Na
tionals in their second year of
Senior Pairs competition, Kevin
and Michelle were also above
their fifth place win last year;
and to accomplish this, had to
compete against three pairs who
had all competed at both the
Calgary Olympics and the 1988
World Championships.
The Citizen joins with the rest
of the community in sharing the
pride of knowing such cham
pions, all of them among the
very best the nation has to offer.
All four skaters will perform
as guest skaters at the Brussels
Figure Skating Club’s Carnival
this Saturday, while Peter and
Kerrie will skate as the stars of
the Blyth Figure Skating Club’s
Carnival on March 4. Both
performances are expected to be
sell-outs, so get your tickets
early and avoid disappointment.
