All the best in this season
TURNBERRY TAVERN
There are a lot of people who
don't think figure skating is a
sport. It is, according to them,
merely entertainment.
Well, these people better not
say that in front of anyone who is
connected with a skating ' club.
Figure skating is a sport and a
very exacting one at that.
After watching the young
skaters at the Howick Figure
Skating Club's 'The Magic of
Christmas' presentation at the
Howick Community Centre on
Sunday, I am convinced it is a
spo;t. The young skaters take it
very seriously and have a tre-
mendous pride in their accom-
plishments.
Mrs. Sharon Rowe, who is the
professional for the Howick
Figure Skating Club, deserves a
lot of credit for the work she has
done with the Howick skaters.
They put on a tremendous perfor-
mance on Sunday.
To become a competitive
skater it takes years of hard
work. It is better to get a skater
when he or she is young, so that
the hard work becomes a habit. It
isn't like pleasure skating or even
playing hockey.
The figures part of skating is
the most exacting of all. This is,
where the drudgery comes in. To
get the figures properly, to be
marked, takes weeks and weeks
of prAtice. In fact, there are
znme skaters who never reallv
" part ui the prograrn.
Even cnme of the t-0 air-terq,
i„ateur and proressiondl, hale
this part of skating. They do just
well enough to keep close to the
top, then fall back on their free
skating program to put, them at
the top.
I have watched some clubs
when they have been practising
and the professional and assis-
tants have a tough time keeping
by Ted Saunders
the skaters interested in their
figures. However before you start
on the figures, one has to know
how to skate. This is where the
professional really has his or her
work cut out.
Usually when youngsters start
to skate they begin on regular
skates. When they join a figure
skating club it is learning time
again. Anyone who can skate, on
regular skates, has a tough time
on figure skates. I know, I tried it
once and nearly broke my neck.
The blade on figure skates is al-
together different from regular
skates. The edge is much differ-
ent so that a skater can work on
both edges. This is necessary to
make some of the graceful moves
seen in free skating exhibitions.
It is also necessary to do most
of the figures. The edge of the
skate is very important. Some of
the many falls which skaters take
are caused because they don't
land on the proper edge of the
skate after they have made a
jump or twirl.
It is the proper use of the edge
of the skate which makes the
work of a professional at a figure
skating club so demanding. They
have to get skaters to forget
f,racticalry all they have learn,-('
.i, ut skating before they joined
ho club.
So, our congratulations to Mrs
Sharon Rowe for the great job she
has done with the Howick Figure
Skating Club. The performance
on Sunday was a first class effort.
So that no (The will be offended,
we would like to congratulate all
the other professionals and assis-
tants in the area. The work they
do with youngsters is much ap-
preciated. We will be looking for-
ward to seeing the efforts of other
clubs when they put on their
carnivals later in the season.
The Mini -Maintenance Chassis featuring the Super Module is the result of years of Quasar pi6neering achievements
in the science of advanced circuit design. The Super Module contains five Integrated Circuits which have enabled
Quasar to dramatically combine the functions previously handled by numerous transistors, resistors, capacitors
and diodes. Result: Quasar's Mini -Maintenance requires fewer physical parts. Fewer components. Fewer inter-
connections. Less wiring. So there's that much less to go wrong. And that means there's more to go right.

again. Anyone who can skate, on
regular skates, has a tough time
on figure skates. I know, I tried it
once and nearly broke my neck.
The blade on figure skates is al-
together different from regular
skates. The edge is much differ-
ent so that a skater can work on
both edges. This is necessary to
make some of the graceful moves
seen in free skating exhibitions.
It is also necessary to do most
of the figures. The edge of the
skate is very important. Some of
the many falls which skaters take
are caused because they don't
land on the proper edge of the
skate after they have made a
jump or twirl.
It is the proper use of the edge
of the skate which makes the
work of a professional at a figure
skating club so demanding. They
have to get skaters to forget
f,racticalry all they have learn,-('
.i, ut skating before they joined
ho club.
So, our congratulations to Mrs
Sharon Rowe for the great job she
has done with the Howick Figure
Skating Club. The performance
on Sunday was a first class effort.
So that no (The will be offended,
we would like to congratulate all
the other professionals and assis-
tants in the area. The work they
do with youngsters is much ap-
preciated. We will be looking for-
ward to seeing the efforts of other
clubs when they put on their
carnivals later in the season.
The Mini -Maintenance Chassis featuring the Super Module is the result of years of Quasar pi6neering achievements
in the science of advanced circuit design. The Super Module contains five Integrated Circuits which have enabled
Quasar to dramatically combine the functions previously handled by numerous transistors, resistors, capacitors
and diodes. Result: Quasar's Mini -Maintenance requires fewer physical parts. Fewer components. Fewer inter-
connections. Less wiring. So there's that much less to go wrong. And that means there's more to go right.
