Torch- dream '95% sure' When the postman came to the door carrying "a big smile on his face" and a big package in his pouch for Angela Buss of Midland, she wanted to know what it was. But when she saw the logo of the '88 Calgary Olympics on the top left corner of the envelope - she started "screaming and jumping up and down." That's because she had been waiting weeks for such a message to arrive: the letter said it was 95 per cent sure that she would be one of the lucky Canadians who would get to carry the Olympic torch on part of its journey to Calgary next winter for the Olympic games. Over six million entries have been received in the contest to carry the flame. Organizers say that's a phenomenal amount, con- sidering there are only 25 million or so people in the whole country. And at least 300 ballots in that mountain of entries were from Angie Buss. "Each day Mom would bring some more home for me,"' she said. So the whole family helped out. Her Dad and Mom took turns signing the parental consent forms and trucking the load of en- tries off to the Petro- Canada stations. By age 10, Buss_has already got a shelf-full of trophies and awards for various sports. But carry- ing the torch is her dream. The fifth-grader at Huron Park Public School started practising for the run right away, after she answered the skill-testing question and sent her rep- ly to the Olympic commit- tee. She found a three- pound rock (weighed on the bathroom scale) to match the weight of the torch and started running around. the neighborhood with it, her Mom said, un- til the garbage-man mistook it for junk one day and tossed it in the back of his truck. But that hasn't deterred the young girl's spirit. Ac- cording to her Mom, "'she hasn't stopped talking about it since she got the letter." And Angie already has dreams for future Olympic games - except she wants to actually be competing in them by 1996. But for now, she isn't nervous. She's just looking forward to carrying the torch.
