Dublin -area skater off to
Canadian championships
BY -ANDY BADER
Originally appeared in Mitchell
Advocate
Kelly Harris took another step
towards her Olympic goal by -win-
ning the gold medal at the 1994
Central Canadian Figure Skating
Championships in Guelph in
December.
By claiming gold in the Novice
Ladies category, for skaters 17 -
years of age and under, Harris
advances to the Canadian cham-
pionships in Edmonton, Alberta on
Jan. 10-16.
Harris, the 16 -year-old daughter
of Bob and Carolyn Ilan -is of RR 2
Dublin, won the short, two -minute
program and finished third in the
three minute long skate Sunday, but
her aggregate score was good
enough to claim the gold.
Only the top four skaters in the
competition earn the right to
advance to the Canadian event.
Sixteen skaters will participate in
Edmonton, four from each of the
four sections of the country.
She was still excited and a little
surprised about her victory a day
later.
"I knew I had a good chance (to
advance) if I skated like I can," she
said, adding that aftcr her short
program result she was in conten-
tion for not only a berth in the
Canadians, but a medal as well.
"i didn't care what i got as long
as i went to Canadians," she said.
Her gold medal performance has
a bearing at the Canadian competi-
tion too, since sly will be seeded in
the top four.
Harris qualified by competing at
Sub -Sectionals in Preston in Octo-
ber, winning gold there before
moving on to Sectionals in Novem-
ber, where she came home with the
silver medal. Her second -place
result moved her to Divisionals, or
the Central Canadian Champion -

an accomplished figure skater.
ships, this past weekend. Twelve
skaters competed from Western
Ontario, Northern Ontario and
Manitoba.
Harris finished seventh at
Divisionals last year in Brandon
Manitoba - her first time competing
at such a high level.
Although she didn't skate last
year at the Canadian champion-
ships, which were held in Hamilton,
she attended the week-long event
and admittedly picked up a few
things just by watching others prac-
tice and perform.
Harris skates six days a week
somewhere in this part of the prov-
ince, but Mitchell is her home club.
She also skates in Stratford,
Strathroy, Waterloo, Seaforth, and
St. Marys. She is coached by Lynn
Simons of Stratford; and Gord
Crossland, of St. Marys. Lynn
Nightingale is her trainer.
Next year, Harris will move up to
the Junior category. After that, if all
goes well, she'll compete in the
Senior group.
Unfortunately, only the Senior
skaters - Josee Chouinard and
Karen Preston, for example - are
featured on television coast-to-coast.
A fit work force is a productive
work force. Employees who adhere
to a fitness program are more pro-
gram are more productive, absent
less often and less likely to have a
accident.
Parks and recreation services
motivate business relocation and
expansion in the community. Econ-
omic development literature repeat-
edly stresses the attraction of local
quality of life in the decision to
move a firm to a new town. Parks
and community leisure are primary
considerations and measurers in
such a move.
Recreation and park services are
often the catalyst for tourism, a
growing sector of our economy.
The parks, facilities and programs
offered by our field are attractive to
tourists and an essential ingredient
of the tourism industry.

Grand Bend gears up . for
1994 winter carnival
A carnival of "Jurassic" propor-
tions will take over Grand Bend
next month.
From a theme of cartoons to
Monsters, Myths and Magic, Grand
Bend Winter Carnival promises to
be lots of fun for young and old.
The carnival runs February 4 to 13.
An estimated 20,000 people arc
expected to visit the village.
With a new executive and
redistribution of authority, Winter
Carnival has made a few changes
but most events remain. Perhaps
the most visible change is a new
brochure, replacing a newsprint
booklet. First vice-chairman Barry
Richman said the new brochure is
smaller than the booklet making it,
easier to carry and place in brochure
stands at information offices.
The brochure, scheduled for pub-
lication the beginning of January, is
printed in color and features a large
map of the village and businesses
(who pay for inclusion) which can
be opened as a poster to display in
store windows.
"It will read like a theatre play-
bill," said Richman.
