Lisa will be looking for medals in the spring. . Dave Vanderlee just barely entering the 13 and 14 boys age group was strong enough to place fourth in his specialty, the 100m butterfly event. Dave had a time of 1:11.3. Dave also placed eighth in his 400m in- dividual medley. The team swam well, showed enthusiam and a dedicated ef- fort over the whole weekend.

Championships held two weeks later. - Minor Baseball pushes on with field-building concept Terrace Minor Baseball may be moving closer to realizing a bench- area ball field. Minor Baseball representative Jim Fick met with city. council’s Community and Recreation Services Committee late last month to discuss their proposal for the construction of eight baseball diamonds on 10 acres of city parkland and School District #88 property located on North Eby St. -tetween Halliwell Ave. and Dairy St. _ According to a report from superintendent of parks and recre- ation Steve Scott last December, Minor Baseball's immediate goal would be to construct three ball diamonds, complete with wash- rooms, within the first two years. Then, as resources permit, addi- tional diamonds would be added. The ultimate goal, he said, was to “eventually construct as many as _ eight ball diamonds at the site. “According to a report from the - friore recent committec meeting, no ~~ fitm cost estimate is available but ithe club says they have approached Nocal donors and may qualify for ‘one-third provincial funding, There was also a discussion of the impact ‘on neighbouring properties as a ‘fesult of the project, and a re- ' ‘ominendation, now adopted by ‘elty council, thal a survey of resi- dents in the area be conducted to determine the level of public sup- port. ‘In presenting their idea to the Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission last winter, Fick and Earl Peden indicated the need for a new facility by noting that heavy use of Elks Park by both Minor Baseball and Minor Softball made it difficult to provide an adequate level of service to members of both clubs.

SKI TIPS from Tim Foster, (li oe sah, y Vee Skiing At Its Peak Hard packed snow conditions often occur during the spring skiing season. In these conditions, it is important to ensure that you are stable and balanced. Move your feet apart to shoulder width to allow you to use your legs more independently to absorb bumps Next, think about turning your feet as you progress through the turn. You should feel the inside of your foot pressing on the inside of your boot as you turn your foot. It is important to use your lower body to maximize the performance of the turn. The final skill to work on is edging. Try not to edge aggressively. Imagine you’re skiing on eggshells. This will help you carve a smoother tum. Remember each of these skills, one at a time. Then put them all together for some great turns! Spring skiing hours at Shames 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. Call 638-8SKI for 24-hr. snow reports at Shames Mountain, skiing at its peak.
