The Olympics it wasn't, but
good, entertaining fun it was.
The Quesnel Figure Skating
Club's Time Machine took
the audience back; in time
during the weekend to see
wme of the best acts of the
last 16 years of the club's ice
carnivals during the celebration
of the organization's 25th
!
Bimiversary.
The show had a delightful
array of. tiny clowns,
mischievous reindeer who
teased poor old Santa into fits,
and visits from such
well-known and varied characters
as the Beatles and the
full contingent of Snow
White's Seven Dwarfs.
The solo numbers which
appeared throughout the program
were performed with a
minimum of mistakes and
brought applause from the
audience.
Red-garbed Jean Koppari
; as the circus lady gave an
impressive performance, as
did Barb Smetaniuk in her
Lily Marlene number. The
auburn-haired Smetaniuk
dazzled the crowd in her
attractive green outfit ,with
jumps and spins done to a
pleasing choice of music.
Decked out in bright red
and white costumes the skaters
presented a stirringly
patriotic precision line program
with the flags of the
provinces and territories accompanying
the Maple Leaf in
a salute to Canada. ,"•
Club pro Barbi Koppa did a
solo skating performance,
with a smooth delivery and
featuring near-perfect spirals.
One of the most popular
acts of the whole evening
came with the boys performance
of their Mounted Police
number. With the assistance
of Quesnel RCMP Cst. Doug
Hadley in full dress uniform,
the boys skated through a
march drill and finished it all
off with a smart salute to
Hadley, a performance, the
audience loved
The girls performing in the
Salute to Expo arrangement
offered the crowd a well-timed,
precision-line performance,
one featuring straight
lines and synchronized movements.
Other performers, who
skated well in their solo
appearances were Tammie
Thibault as Miss Golden
Spike, Kim Bubenko as the
fairy tale, princess, Snow
White, and Tracy Lowery as
the Wicked Witch in the tale
of Sleeping Beauty.
Kim Legeard as Sleeping
Beauty and her Prince
Charming Leanne Doucette
also turned in solid,
crowd-pleasing performances.
Cindy Wong's astronaut,
dressed in space-age silver
also impressed the audience
with, cool, futuristic poise.
Guest skaters Bonnie Epp
and Leonard Austman
appeared twice in the program
to display the skating
style which earned the Western
Canadian novice pairs
title for them and a
second-place finish in the
recent Canadian competitions.
. In addition to that Epp and
Austman each. skated a solo
performance. Both experienced
slight miscues during their
performances, but still turned
in efforts which impressed
those present.

One of the highlights of the
25th annual Ice Carnival hosted
by the Quesnel Figure
Skating Club last weekend
was the appearance of the
Western Canadian Novice
Pairs Champions of 1980.
Bonnie Epp and Leonard
Austman were in Quesnel as
guest skaters at the local ice
show.
Fourteen-year old Epp has
been skating for nine years,
while Austman, 19, has been
performing for 12 years. The
pair have been skating together
for six months and in that
time have captured the Western
Canadian title in their
division and placed second in
the Canadians in Kitchener,
Ontario, last month.
The skaters also compete
mdividually in their respective
singles classes.
Preparation for both does
not come without some commitment
on the part of the
skaters. Epp explained that to
get ready for competition
they would spend 42 hours
per week learning, practicing,
polishing the material they
present to the judges.
In addition to the time
spent practicing on the ice,
Epp and Austman also exercise
and jog to keep in top
physical condition to meet the
rigors imposed on them by
their sport.
The exercises they do at
home are for both flexibility
and strength. Epp supplements
these workouts with
ballet and Austman does
weight-training.
It took about three weeks
to put together the program
they skated at the Canadians
and another four months to
polish their performance.
During that time the pair
continued to alter the pattern
and smooth things out.
"We're always adding little
moves here and there,"
Austman explained.
"We keep working on new
things," Epp added, "and
every time we get a new move
then we put that in."
They do not limit themselves
to only learning and
perfecting a single program.
Instead, they work on two
different presentations in
pairs and two for their
individual singles events, as
well as two short programs
for pairs and also for singles, a
total of six programs each.
Despite the complexities of
these programs, the skaters
say they do not get confused
or mix the program contents
up.
Epp and Austman skate out
of different winter clubs. A
native of Abbotsford, Epp
now skates out of the North
Shore Winter Club and Austman,
who is originally from
Yorkton, Sas., practices at
Hollyburn Country Club.
"We skate at both clubs,"
Austman explained their getting
together as a pairs
combination. The duo skate
under the watchful eyes of
Brian Power and Rob Dick.
Skating in the Canadian
championships was an experience
both of them appreciate,
although they admitted the
pressure was greater than
anything they had experienced
previously.
Epp recalled that she was ill
with the flu on the day they
competed in the national
championships in Kitchener.
Despite that the pair managed
to nail down second spot in
the competitions.
Although their future is not
clear, Austman admitted the
pair would remain ' skating
together, "for a while, anyway."
DEATH SPIRAL. Leonard Austman lowers Bonnie Epp down into a stunningly low death
spiral during one of their appearances in the 25th annual Ice Carnival hosted by the Quesnel
Figure Skating Crab last weekend. Epp and Austman are the reigning Western Canadian
Do well in zones
Novice Pairs Champions and placed second in the Canadian championships last month. The
pair, as guest skaters for the carnival, delighted audiences Friday and Saturday evening with
their pairs and individual programs. More photos on page 13.

SIDELINES
by
Jo-anne Jefferson
I thought the age of heroes was dead, but the way things
have been going these last few weeks, it looks like I've been
dead wrong. And I couldn't be more pleased.
The Olympics have always had winners, and in some cases
even champions, although the two are not necessarily
synonymous. But true sports heroes are rare and their
appearance on the scene definitely the exception rather than
the rule.
With the true sports hero, the personality of the individual
does not have to have mass public appeal. He does not have to
be liked, but it helps. One thing that cannot be denied,
however, is the ability of the hero, because he has proven
himself beyond doubt.
One could say Gordie Howe is a sports hero, or Hank Aaron.
You could probably even say Muhammed Ali and Pele were'
sports heroes. And I don't think you would be too far wrong if
you were to add the name Eric Heiden to that list.
In the last week or more at the Lake Placid Olympics, the
American speedskater has done for his sport what Nadia
Comaneci did for gymnastics, Bruce Jenner did for track and
field and Karen Magnussen did for figure skating. He has
brought it into the public eye.
But Heiden has done more than win medals and break world
records. He has easily become the most talked-about performer
at the 1980 Winter Games. The media constantly refer to him as
the superman on skates, and the ironman and the machine.
Those titles are fine in one sense, but they tend to remove
the humanness of Eric Heiden. The thing that has impressed
me almost as much as his gold medal performances is the way
he admits toj>ain.
Winning hurts and it doesn't come without resisting the
inevitable pain of the effort. More often than anything else it is
an athlete's inability to meet the pain of exertion and overcome
it that causes defeat rather than the abilities of opponents.
Heiden seems to have learned the best way to master his pain
and come out the winner. Because of that he has earned the
respect of his fellow competitors and the awe of those who
watch him perform.
And so far, because he has not made himself readily available
to the public via the various forms of media, Heiden has
somehow been elevated even higher than the top part of the
winner's podium. He is well on his way to becoming an
American hero.
^.....;
What the heck, I think he deserves it. I've enjoyed
him skate on the telecasts and thought, not without^Rn^
wistfulness, wished that I could be attending the Games to' ste
it happening.
If Heiden can be a hero to folks, all the better; Heroes serve' a
useful purpose. They give us something to believe in in these
days of uncertainty. They give us something to look up to, and
hopefully, they endure in this throw-away society we live in
today.
And, if Heiden turns out to have feet of clay, there's always
another idol just waiting to be discovered somewhere.
There always is.
