Hockey coaches get course

Minor hockey coaches
in the Terrace-Kitimat
area get their first
chance to get ready for
the new B.C, Amateur
Hockey regulations
regarding coaching
certificates at the end of
September.

Coaches who do not
have up ‘to level three
coaching certification

can obtain this during a
three-day level three
clinic at Kitimat's Mount
Elizabeth High School
starting Friday, ..Sept.
2.

Although provincial co-
ordinator Dave Andrews
will be conducting
basically a level three
session, coaches without

levels one and bwo will
also be allowed to attend.

Later in the season , a
level one and two clinic
will be held and those who
attend this month's clinic
as well will automatically
be credited as Level
Three coaches,

Kitimat minor hockey
president Pete Runions

said the clinic fee of $10
per coach will be paid by
their association. It's
expected that the same
agreement will be in
effect for any Terrace
coaches attending at
Kitimat. °

The new regulation
governing certification
won't come into action for

two years, but all coaches
are being urged to get
their certification while
the opportunity exists.

The Kitimat clinic
Starts at 8 p.m. on the
%th in room 506 at the
high school. It runs on
the Saturday and Sunday,
as well at times to be
announced,

New skating

By DON SCHAFFER
Herald Staff Writer

The Terrace Figure
Skating Club has a new
coach, fresh from Toronto.
Her name is Dawn Nairn,
and this is her first year
coaching professionally.

Nairn just arrived in
Terrace last Thursday, and
she is already teaching.
Although she has not
coached professionally
before, she put in two years
of voluntary coaching in
Foronto before coming here.

She likes the town so far,
especially the relaxed at-
mosphere. ‘It's a lot dif-
ferent here than Toronto,”
she said. “Everyone here
seems to take their time, but
in Toronto they’re all
rushing around.’’

Nairn will be coaching
local skaters in the first five
levels of figures, among
other skills. There are eight
levels of figures, and she is
qualified to coach all af
them, however there are no
skaters here in the upper
skill brackets. Nairn said
that she hopes to be around
long enough to see the levels
go that high, but that that is
up to the management of the
club.

“Td like to stay and help
build a really good club,” she
said, ‘but that depends on
whether the club likes me
and wants to keep me on.
We'll see how it works out,
but I think I'll like it here.”

Nairn herself skated
competitively for 15 years,
before stopping two years
ago. For the first 14, she
skated in dance pairs, she
and her partner going to the
National competitions in
Vancouver in 1973 and in
New Brunswick in 1974. In
1976 she went into singles
competition for a yeur,
before stopping altogether in
1077.

“] skated all‘ through
school, but had to atop when [
gol out because I had to go to
work.’’ Nairn said. ‘‘In
school it's easier to practice
and compete because it’s
easy to get time cff from
classes. When you start
work, you sort of have to
besthere or else you won't be
working long.”

In sther figure-skating
news, the club would like to
annonce several of its
members accomplishmente
from the summer. Veronica
Lowrie advanced past the
fourth figure, and Veronica
and her brother Rick
qualified for competition In
novice dance and variation
dance. Donna Lessard also
advanced past fourth figure,
and passed three of her four
gold dance teats. She
therefore only haa one dance
left to pass before she has
achieved the highest level of
akill in the national program
of skating instruction. This is
an impressive advancement
for a summer's work.

Debbie Badge passed her
senior bronze dance test this
summer, and Chris Chicoine
passed his firet figure and
his preliminary dance.
Sandra Hislop passed her
blues dance, and Ken
Brinkac achieved his junior
bronze dance, his junior

bronze freeakate and his firat
figure. This is also an im-

pressive advancement in
skill for such a short period

time,
Further registration is still

and have got the team
down toa size which they
will carry through the
first exhibition garnes at
Jeast, according to

coach

being accepted by the club.
If you wish to register, or
register your youngster, call
Sharlene Butler at 635-5338,

LAKE PLACID, N.Y.
(AP) — Susanna Driano is a
one-woman United Nations.

The 22-year-old native of
Seattle is skating for Italy at
the Flaming Leaves in-
vitational figure skating
meet this week under the
watchful eye of her
Canadian-born mother.

Driano moved to Milan
after being shut out of
national competition in thia
country by a strong slate in
her Pacific Coast region She
hopes the tournament can be
the start of a long road back.

“Skating is pretty much an
individual sport,'’ she said
when asked if her change of
allegiances was well
received, “I got a litle
ribbing from the Americans
at first.”

Driano said she was
nervous about the switch at
first, even though Dianne De
Leeuw had earlier skated for
the Netherlands when she
found the going too sleep in
the Pacific Coat region
where De Leeuw grew up.

But Driano won the 1974
Italian national cham-
plonships and scored so well
in international] competitions
that Italy was awarded an
extra entry for her in future
competitions.

Canadian entries In the
women’s competition are na-
tional champion Janet
Morrisey of Ottawa and
Heather Kemkaran of
Toronto.

Also on the Canadian team
are national dance cham-
plons Lorna Wighton. of
Toronto and John Dowding
of Oakville, Ont.; the third-
ranked dance team of Marie
MeNell and Bob McCall of
Halifax and the pairs en
of Rebecca Gough and Mar
Rowsom of Cambridge, Ont.

Another pairs entry —
Lorri Baier of Mitchell, Ont.,
and Lloyd Eisler of Seaforth,
Ont. — dropped out when
Baier suffered a pulled
hamatring last week.

Gary Beacom of Toronto is
the only Canadian men's

entry
