Like bumping into every piece of furniture they can find. And hanging on around every comer. Then there's the stair climb event. But the real problem is that the initial suction power is quickly lost as the bag fills. So after all the work you put into vacuuming, you still find dirt. There must be a better way! A Beam central vacuuming system solves these problems and costs much less than you'd think. And to prove it, we'll give you $100 for your old machine when you buy your new Beam.

Partially sponsored by the the Georgetown chapter of the Optimist Club, Mrs. King believes that a third world cup title would give the team the exposure and, hopefully, needed funding. “Not being a recognized sport in the public eye costs us sponsors,” King said. She added the sport of baton twirling is largely misunderstood and often associated with a cheer- leader-like mentality due to expo- sure in parades. “One of the biggest problems is bringing kids (into the sport)” which King compares the sport to figure skating or gymnastics, in terms of routines and competitive styles. Saoweves she added “these kids put in just as much time as any Olympic athlete.” Three members of the team joined their teammates on Monday after returning to their home provinces after the Canadian championships. Team members Kevan Latrace and Elizabeth Pirc will be perform- ing in the pairs event as a demon- stration sport at this year’s champi- onships. Pairs will be included as a medal qualifier next year.
