You try not to think about falling or forgetting your routine. You just try to do your best. These might be your thoughts if you were one of the dedicated youngsters who come out four times a week and train at the sport of Figure Skating. Each Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, at Bowmanville and Darlington arenas, training may begin with a 45 minute PATCH period in which the skaters trace their figure 8's over and over again with different variations under the watchful eyes of their coaches. Then a 35 minute FREESTYLE period follows when each skater practices his or her routine trying spins and jumps at their level but trying to imitate skating heroes such as Underhill and Martini. Then a 35 minute DANCE period completes the two hours and skaters practice their steps to such varied dances as The Dutch Waltz, Tango and Foxtrot. The Pine Ridge Competition on Saturday, February 16, held this year in Uxbridge, is the next competition for which the skaters are training. Clubs from this whole area will be sending representatives to compete. As soon as competitions and test days are over, training will begin for this year's CARNIVAL. This year's theme is Under the Big Top - Music, Music, Music, and will feature all our skaters from the youngest to our most advanced dressed in appropriate costumes. The carnival numbers are sure to be a hit so reserve Sunday, March 31, 2-4 p.m. on your calendar and invite grandparents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends to share this experience with our young skaters. Durham East suffers from a lack of representation at Queen's Park, claim candidates candidates for the New Democratic Party nomination in the riding. Bernice Cameron-Hill and Doug Smith agree that specific issues are being ignored by current MPP Sam Cureatz and both pledge to bring these issues forward during a provincial election campaign. Cameron-Hill and Smith are seeking the NDP nomination which will be decided Tuesday, February 12, at the Bowmanville Public Library. "The present Tory member is losing touch with Durham East and his government no longer deals effectively with the real problems facing Ontario," says.Smith. A 38-year-old" Oshawa psychologist, psychologist, Smith charges that the Tory government is not providing effective solutions to the problems of adequate health care for senior citizens, unemployment and a mounting mounting deficit. "While at the local level our anonymous MPP has still to address the issue of skyrocketing skyrocketing property taxes in Newcastle and the need for more social services in Oshawa, such as another home for the aged," he adds. Courtice businesswoman Cameron-Hill echoes Smith's comments. "I've worked for many years reading, researching and interpreting the laws of the province," says the self- employed law clerk, "I want the opportunity to re-shape those laws into workable form, to the benefit of people who must live with them." The nomination meeting is set for 7:30 p.m. on February 12 at the library located at 62 Temperance Street. Ontario NDP Leader Bob Rae will be guest speaker. In addition, there will be an election election of officers for 1985. Durham East riding includes the north and northeast northeast sections of Oshawa and the Town of Newcastle.
