BY SUSAN HUNDERTMYIARK Seaforth's figure skating club is booming with participants. But with a tittle more parental support, the club could reach its potential of producing some quality skaters, says instructor Faye MacDonald, 'There's the potential for really good skaters in Seaforth; you can pick out the kids with talent at ages seven and eight. And, if you're good, there's no limit to what you can do," she says. Off the approximately 90 figure skaters in Seaforth, most are patticipattng for fun. A few are mole serious. but everyone can benefit from the sport, says Mrs. Mac- Donald, "There's so much to be gained from it since it combines the athletic and the artistic_.. But, all kids are different with each receiving a different amount of lessons so yeti can't compare them. A shy child can ;earn so much by just competing," Because figure skating is an individual sport, skaters in a ,club easily become envious of each other's skills. Mrs, MacDonald says the best.way to deal with the envy is to compete with, yourself. "Look at what you did last year and try to improve yourself," she says One of the best club spirit builders is the inter -dub competition on March 4 which involves dubs such as Brussels, Stratford. Milverton, and Wingham. The competition starts at 8 a.m. and sometimes ends at midnight. During the exhausting day, the dub sits together and cheers each other on, "It gives the skaters a chance to see what they can do bntlitot at a level where the competition is too fierce. Last year, the junior _dance team won. We should have another good team this year," she says. While •Seaforth has a goodreaea os nal attire ore ice time"and some private 1 ons could produce more serious skaters in town. Pros who help 'coach at Brussels such as Catherine Cardiff, Karen Alexander and Julie Twynarn are also at the disposal. of Seaforthskaters. "How lucky can you be in a small town?" asks Mrs. MacDonald, Support from parents could help the club's executive and even with the music. And, more importantly, support could help involve more boys, if only in the Canskate proporn. says Mrs. MacDonald, There's a lot of opportunity in figure skating,'especiatly for boys and it's excellent if boys come out just to learn how to skate since they need that skill fon 11gckey. We've really tried to educate parents so that they're not limiting their little boys if they come out to learn to skate. And, if they decide they tutu u waiting, u s anything but a sissy sport..' she says. Mrs. MacDonald's son; Peter is involved both in hockey and figure skating so he can achieve with a team and as an individual. Another boy in the club, prefers figure skating to hockey because he has a greater talent for it. "It's really great when parents support a child for" what be wants to do. So many of the boys get discouraged at home." And. one advantage of being involved in both sports is more ice time. "The more they're on the ice, the better skaters they'll be," says Mrs. MacDonald," Right now. the club is preparing for a carnival in Brussels on Jan. 21 and a Seaforth dub competition on Jan. 30, "You can get hooked on figure skating. The better you get. the more fun it is," says Mrs. MacDonald. Let the Red Pencil P _you Save in '84. 41, PRACTICING FIGURES—Tracey Bennett, h lessons on Monday.
