Mr. Pos has been an employee of the community centre for five years, beginning as a part-time Scoring Cham Champ Pete Nooyen Warriors Nooyen Cinches scoring title By Gary Ris Russell's Pete Nooyen knew he needed a big performance to win the scoring championship.

Miss Dominion visit "enjoyable" By Gary Ris Catherine MacIntosh, Miss Dominion of Canada, highlighted the opening night of the Russell Winter Carnival. She was one of the judges of the Carnival Queen pageant and said she enjoyed herself very much. Catherine was born and raised in Thunder Bay where she attend- ed Lakehead University. She studied biology and received her bachelor of science degree before going to teacher's college; she graduated in May. As Miss Dominion, Catherine has spent the year travelling across Canada, the United States and abroad attending different festivals and events, fashioh shows and opening nights of car- nivals. "One of my main functions is to represent Canada*in the Miss World pageant which I did in November in London, England. I'll also be in Tokyo, Japan for Miss International Beauty and in Melbourne, Australia for Queen of the Pacific Pageant."' Catherine found the people she met to be very friendly. "Basically, I've found that the people all across Canada and the United States have received me with open arms and are very friendly". Miss: MacIntosh plans to peein 2 > Se Be ee ey ew ~ Russell drew first blood at 3:59 of the opening period on a goal by Nooyen. St. Albert evened the score at 6:34 before Russell ex- ploded for three goals in a span of 5:40, two of which were scored by Paul Boland with Carson McVey rounding out the first period scor- ing. Wayne Warnock's goal at 4:40 of the second period lengthened Russell's lead to 5-1. The score was narrowed to two goals before time expired in the middle frame when Sylvain Genier banged a shot home and Denis Legault pop- ped in his second of the contest. The two teams traded seven goals in the final period. St. Albert received a pair of goals by Legault and singles from Paul Pa- quette and Andre Legault. Reply- ing for Russell were Paul Boland with his third of the game, Carson McVey with his second and Ed Honey scored the winning goal with 45 seconds remaining. Even with the win, Russell finished with a dismal record of five wins, 15 losses and five ties for a fifth place finish and a total of 15 points. Denis Goyette of Carlsbad and Butch Talbot of Embrun deadlocked in a tie for second place with 57 points. Talbot scored 28 goals while Goyette had 18. The Warriors will be back next season with another great winter of action and the coaches and players would like to thank the' fans for their continued support. Russell By Paul Wylie The 1980 Russell Winter Car- nival has come and gone and met with great support and, from all reports, was enjoyed by all who attended. A great deal of work went into making the carnival successful. Under the general direction of Mr. Ron Sharpe as Carnvial Chairman with committee members Ray McNamara and Paul Wylie, a general program was struck and volunteers were sought to fill in the necessary positions. To all of those people who helped make our carnival a success: "Thank you"' Miss Dominion of Canada, sponsored by A & R Gregoire, provided an added flair to this year's carnival and hopefully she'll be back next. year. The Queen Pageant Was most suc- cessful as shown by the atten- dance, as was the super variety show prepared by Barry McVey. Due to last minute problems, the Curling Club was not available for the "Wine Cavern" and through the kindness of Benny's Hotel, a location: was provided. Chairman of this event, Jim Mid- dlemiss was kept extremely busy but I'm sure that your support . made this event most successful. ' The Ladies' Auxiliary. served the Wind-up meal and to all of them thank you for your support. Your Queen, Miss Heather Rothenberger, and Princesses, Miss Eleanor Vnoucek and Miss Cathy- Ouellette were kept busy at- tending all or most of the events. Congratulations girls. Carling O'Keefe Asiegeens the medallions Kim Ambroise _ staffer before undertaking the job as arena manager four years ago. Ken Kingsbury, chairman of the Community Centre Board, says the job vacated by Mr. Pos is a tough position. "He has been there for a few years now,"' said Mr. Kingsbury. "It is quite a demanding job and perhaps he thought he should like to try something else for a while."' Mr. Kingsbury also said that the recent blowup of the engine of the Olympia ice resurfacer had no in- fluence on Mr. Pos's decision to resign. "The blowup of the engine is . Something that has happened, but he hasn't indicated to us that this is the reason for his resigning," he said. Mr. Pos has been a satisfac- tory employee, he tendered his resignation and we have accepted ito. Mr. Kingsbury estimated the cost of the new engine at over $2,000. Mr. Pos said the engine had a sufficient amount of oil at the time of the blowup. "It may have been low a couple of times but at the time of the ac- cident it had lots of oil as you could see it on the ice." Reid-Hauch, one and two Girls from Russell and Win- chester came away first and se- cond in separate events at the Canadian national track and field championships in Toronto Feb. 22-23. Russell's Brigitte Reid won the women's high jump event and Winchester's Rosemarie Hauch placed second in the shot put. Both girls qualified for the Canada versus Belgium interna- tional dual meet at the Montreal Forum March 7 which puts two competitors per country per event against each other for points. Reid and Vancouver's Debbie Brill were to contest the high jump while Hauch and Montreal's Carmen Ionesco were to form the Canadian shot put team. Reid is coached by husband Pat who was director of the Citizen Indoor Games at the Ottawa Civic Centre Feb. 2. RISRA With Garey Ris It's a big ripoff. Ottawa City Council has decided to raise parking prices at footb: games by a whopping 60 per cent and this will do nothing but driv potential fans from Lansdowne park. The Ottawa Football Club already pays $500, 000 per year for rental of the stadium and it has a hard enough time attracting fans without Ci- ty Council trying to gouge every cent out of local residents. At $4.00 per game or $40 per season Ottawa would have the highest parking rate for any CFL club. Although Otttawa has always had a contending football team, Ot- tawans don't appear to appreciate the fine football the Ottawa Rough Riders have been offering in recent years. The club lost $300,000 in the last two years and the increase in the price for parking makes it almost certain the club will lose money again this year. : The least the city could do is roll back the latest hike to last year's $25 for parking anymore after it was decided a couple of season's ago to drop parking charges because of dwindling attendance. People who at- tended big commercial events like the Christmas Craft Sale and the Sportsman's Show didn't have to pay for parking so why pick on foot- ball fans? Give us a break! The 1980 Winter Olympics are now history and what a sight they were! The biggest thrill I thought was when the Young Americans dumped the favored Soviet Union 4-3 to get a shot at the gold. The U.S. took ad- vantage of the opportunity defeating the pesky Finns to win the gold medal. No one, including myself, expected the Americans to advance to the finals, let alone make the playoffs. They played disciplined hockey and deserved to win the gold, something that had eluded the U.S. since the 1960 Winter Olympics. The Canadians played as well as could be expected. The game against the Soviets was a thriller and even though the Canucks were on the short end of a 6-4 score, they gave it their best shot. If it weren't for their slop- py performance against the Finns, the Canadians had a chance for a Bronze medal. Overall, Canada's performance wasn't as good as anticipated. Once again, we had no gold medal winners. Skier Ken Read of Calgary was our hope but it vanished when Read's binding released 15 seconds into the race. Speedskater Gaetan Boucher won the lone silver in the 1,000 metre race while another skier, Steve Podborski of Toronto finished third in the men's downhill to grab the bronze. The greatest individual performance had to be Eric Heiden. Heiden set a new Olympic record with five gold medals. Despite all the problems with the transportation, the inflated food prices and not the best snow conditions, the Olympic Games went off without a hitch. The television coverage was exceptional to say the least and the print media did just as good a job. Ken Read of Calgary was the favorite to win the final downhill race of the season, the one that would have captured the World Cup for him. He would haye been the first Canadian to do so. It was not all to be as Read finished a disappointing eighth. World Cup winner Peter Mueller per season and leave it at that. After all, the Ottawa 67's fans don't pay} » ee Switzerland did worse than Read, eens in 14th place. S Winter Carnival wrap-up the Carnival Banner.
