Clark pares down
race schedule

Paul Clark is not moth-balling his wheelchair, but his
1990 racing schedule will be trimmed to the bone.

The popular optometrist plans

to cut back on his world travel
mainly because he wants to
spend leisure time with his wife
and new baby, and ‘because it’s
not an Olympic year.
_ “First of all it is an off-year
due to no Olympics. It is a Pan-
Am year, but those games are in
Argentina and they won’t have
good quality races,’’ Clark told
us,

‘For me it’s an off year in
many respects, plus last year I
had some surgery and this year it
hasn’t come back the way I
thought it would. But this year
the family comes first and I real-
ly want to spend a lot of time
with my new little boy. I'll get
into the family-oriented theme,”’
Clark said.

He told us he won’t drop the
race scene completely.

“*I will be in some local races,
and be at a few major events in-
ternationally, including a trip to
Toronto and to Europe to watch
the World Games.”’

Clark said he could be back in
full stride next year, but he’s not
planning that.far ahead. ,

“*T really want to see what it’s

like to spend more time at
home.”’

He said he’s looking forward
to not training every day and be-
ing pressured to get a workout
in,

‘*When you're training,
regularity is most important and
if you don’t have that regularity
you just can’t compete inter-
nationally.”’

It’s possible he'll take in a ma-
jor event at the year’s end, but
right now we’ll just have to wait
and see.

past year has gone: by quickly.

expected cost was $1.2 million
and a grant application was sub-
mitted to GO B.C, for one-third
of the cost. Unfortunately, city
council did not respond to our
request and we were therefore
unable to embark on a planned

. fundraising campaign.

"H'90 GREW CAB

| Peaks ready to build

to find another source for a

possible building site. The
Regional District of Kitimat-
Stikine responded immediately.
Building plans were revised and
scaled down to a manageable
size, and the club is now ready to
start construction on its own
facility this year.

It is proposed to integrate the
gymnasium with the regional
district’s existing Thornhill
Community Centre, which will

contribute significantly towards

ensuring a cost-effective project.

The building will be con-
structed in stages as monies
become available.

Stage One is the construction
of a 68x86-foot gymnasium
ready for occupancy within the
next year.

Stage Two will see completion
of an entrance block complete
with washroom/change rooms,
office space and concession.

Stage Three is the extenison of
the gym, possibly by another 30
feet or more, dependent on
need,

Estimated completion date for
the project is five years, and the
club feels totally confident in its
ability to see the project com-
pleted. Extracurricular activities
are on the increase at Clarence

Michiel school, where the club.

now works out, and club ac-
tivities are being cut back. In
order to serve a larger percen-
tage of our population, the club
is planning some exciting new
additions to our present pro-
grams once we are in our own
facility::"": FL aha '
A major fundraiser for the
building is the sale of bricks
(bronze — $25; silver — $50;
gold — $100; and platinum —
$500). They are offered to the
public and certificates are issued

to brick holders. A plaque will -

also be hung in the building to
honor our supporters, and let-
ters will be going out to our
business community soon asking
for their support.

Construction will begin as
soon as a start-up date is verified
by the regional district.
