Ramblings Again it is with pleasure that I write you regarding several upcoming activities and, some changes in the existing Commun- ity schedule of events. BROOMBALL Firstly let me remind you that our 2nd annual R.A. Broomball Tournament is fast approaching us. Andy Cousineau, Tournament Chairman, has been working diligently securing teams for the 48 club Tournament scheduled for Thursday through Sunday, February 10, 11, 12 and 13 in the Russell Community Centre. CARNIVAL In addition to the above the Russell Lions Club's annual Winter Carnival is slated for Feb. 17, 18, 19 and 20, with a Carnival Queen Contest, Snow Sculpturing, Hockey Competit- ions, and an Intermediate Hock- ey Game. Included also is the First Annual Russell Lions Inter- national Midget "A" Hockey Tournament. George Eastman and his committee have been extremely busy putting together final touches for what is hoped to be the biggest and best yet. Don't forget that following the Satur- day Hockey Tournament another Skating Party and Dance have been planned. PUBLIC SKATING Several requests have come to our attention that area adults would like a Public Skating session just for them. Well, the opportunity is being provided. As Saturday afternoon has provided little incentive we have decided to switch our Public Skating to Saturday Evening effective im- mediately. From 7-8 p.m. Family Skating to recorded music will be provided followed by "Adults Only" from 8-9 p.m. also to recorded music. Cost will be just 35c per person. This will give us a chance to see if sufficient interest is there and if so perhaps we could try more sessions with live music. CHILDREN'S MOVIE .. PROGRAM With such a favourable re- sponse as was evident in early December our next Children's Movie Program will be scheduled for Saturday Afternoon, Feb. 12 at 1:00 p.m. in the Russell Public School with the showing of the action packed thriller entitled "The Great Locomotive Chase". TEEN DANCE As was mentioned earlier it was felt that a need existed for a periodic Teen's 'n 20's Dance to fill the void between High School dances. Dan Thompson, a third year Graduating Facility Man- agement student and also our right hand man here at the Centre has been working closely for some time now with area teens and 20's and it has been decided that the first Dance will take place on Saturday evening, Feb. 5 at the Russell Community Centre. The "Sons" will be the group featured for the opening dance with the cost only $1.50 per person and dancing from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. If all goes well, Dan feels we'll go once a month when the hall is available. Editor's Comment... "'"New Review needs You" This is the first edition of the Review in more than a month and the first edition of the New Year. The deal since the Christmas issue was to allow the Review to adopt a new publishing schedule. The paper will now be published the first Friday of each month. It is hoped the new schedule will make it easier for readers to contribute to the Review. I would like to take this opportunity to renew an invit- ation to all Russell residents to get involved in the Review. All items are welcome from news to photographs. The Review is a community- run paper partially supported by your tax dollars. You have an interest in ensuring its survival. A community's vitality is reflected on its newspaper and through the Review residents have helped show clearly that Russell is thriving. As long as the village continues to thrive, the Review will be here to tell you about it. If you have something that you think might interest other resid- ents, let the Review tell them for you. 1.

Review O.T.H.S. News The past couple of weeks have been busy for all sport teams. First of all in volley-ball, the seniors finished second overall in a tournament held at Almonte High. The winners were from Earl of March. The juniors however did not have as good a day and finished with a not so good record and last place. The Almonte team took top honors with first place. School volley-ball saw _ the juniors start off with a 1-2 record and the seniors are 2-1 after three starts. The juniors lost their home and home series to Garn- eau both by three to zero matches. The seniors split their series with Garneau be winning the first one 3-2 but lost 3-1 at Garneau. But then both the juniors and the seniors beat the Cairine Wilson Wild-cats. The seniors won 3-1 while the juniors swept their series. And on January 29, there was a volley- ball marathon at Osgoode, for 14 hours to try to raise money to buy uniforms for the junior and senior teams. So far we don't know how much money was raised. Wrestling saw O.T.H.S. win 3 out of their last 5 matches. They lost 36-20 to Sir Robert Borden, and 32-26 due to the fact that we lost five matches by default because we had no-one for those weight classes. However we have won three in a row. O.T.HS. dumped the Gloucester Gaters 30-10. We won our last two matches by default over Meri- vale and Garneau. Junior Boys Basketball saw the boys lose their last four games. The scores were; Garneau 68, Osgoode 38; Gloucester 77, O.T.H.S. 30; Colonel By 50, Osgoode 27 and Cairine Wilson 75 and O.T.H.S. 22. Better luck next time! ! ! Garey "Toot" Ris A. & R. Chev. Olds.
