Meet Captain Bob
and Queen Maxine

By SARAH A. ZIMMERMAN

- MAXINE SMALLWOOD’S not fond of being the

.

centre of attention but this weekend she'll be at
- the forefront of several festivities along with her
_ partner Bob Goodvin.

The local couple are this year’s Riverboat

* Days Captain and Queen which means they'll be

making appearances all over town.
“Maxine, of course, just loves the public
looking at her,” teases Goodvin, 80, with a mis-

__chievous grin.

Smallwood, 74, is just one of those women
who likes to go quietly about her business with-

‘out drawing too much attention to herself. But
«she and Goodvin are such an active part of the

Terrace community it's hard to miss them.

The couple have been members of the Zone
10 Seniors Games committee for 10 years.
They’ ve diligently volunteered hundreds of hours
of time to the organization. They've given time
for Big Brothers and Sisters and mostly recently
thrown their support behind the Terrace Track
and Field Association. Their involvement sees
them manning fundraising tables, selling raffle

-tickets and telling everyone who’7ll listen how

important it is to get the new track rubberized.
“When you are at a race on one of those

fancy tracks a person in the distance can’t ima-

gine -how it feels,” says Goodvin. “It’s sort of an

_ atmosphere:— that’s why. we’re sovinterested in

bringing a fancy track to Terrace.”

They know what they are talking about. Max-
ine has more than 60 medats she’s earned at
track and field competitions. The couple even
travelled to Australia to participate at the world
senior track and field championships in 2001,

To them, the $250,000 project could lure
summer games events to Terrace and provide
area residents with a top notch facility.

“We may not be around to see it happen but
we would sure like to see it here,” Smallwood
Says.

They're also firm believers that active people
are healthy people - and they practice what they
preach.

When they aren’t at a field practicing for the
senior games they’re probably in their garden or
pounding the pavement delivering newspapers.
The couple have been delivering papers for the
Standard for more than Il years and say they
keep it up because it’s good exercise.

“It involves moving and we know that keeps
us healthy,” Goodvin says.

The approachable, outgoing and friendly cou-
ple begin their official duties at tomorrow’s
opening ceremonies at George Little Park.

They'l! also be attending the Memory Lane
Social Aug. Ist where past Captains and Queens
will also be in attendance, They'll also be in the
tirst Noat of Saturday’s parade. ms

" Sotif ‘you ‘gee them, make.sure to go and say

hello — you'll be glad you did.
