INTRODUCING THE NEW COF SECRETARY

by Colin Kirk

After 14 years have the voice of Lee Leger, members who call the National Office will now hear a new voice -- that of Mrs. Sandra Odoysk.

Sandra started working for the COF in September and will work 3 1/2 days each week - Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings. In October she will begin working a four day/three day week on a rotating basis.

Although new to the COF Sandra is no stranger to the National Sport Centre. Over the past four years she has worked on contract for the Sport Centre Administrative Centre in a number of various assignments. Her last assignment prior to coming to the COF was in the Human Resources Office. Mrs. Odoysk has also worked for several other National Sport Federation on special projects. She is very experienced in office procedures, word processing, computer use, etc.

Mrs. Odoysk lives in Blackburn Hamlet, a community in the East end of Ottawa and only a few minutes drive from the Sport Centre. Sandra is married and has two college age children: Stephen age 21 and Natalie age 18.

We are fortunate in being able to obtain a person with Sandra's skills and experience as a replacement for Lee Leger. We extend a sincere welcome to the new COF Secretary, Sandra Odoysk.

PRESIDENT'S NICHE By Jack

It has been a busy and interesting past few months. It is nice to have the national championships to get the orienteering community together.

It was once again a pleasure to meet so many Orienteer-ing friends at the COC's in New Brunswick. My compli-ments to the New Brunswick clubs that hosted the Relays and the COCs, it was obvious that a great deal of planning and effort went into the events. A tip of the hat to main officials of the events; Stig Skarbom, Richard Faulkner, Gary Feeney, Gerald Lebel and Con-trollers Pat De St Croix and Malcolm Adams, plus all of the many helpers and friends. The hospitality and friendliness of the New Brunswicker's was evident throughout our stay.

The Silent Auction Fund Raiser, an idea initiated by Namcy Craig was held at the championships. This event was supported by most Associations and individual members through donations of articles, goods and services. Through the efforts of those who contributed items or purchased the same, over $2,800 was raised for the Federations. Thanks to Colin and Lyman for their work preparing the items for the auction, and a special thanks to all those who participated. Next years auction can grow from this fine start.

An information sharing meeting, was held at Sussex and attended by the President or members from AOA, MOA, 001, OQ, OANS, and ONB present. There were some interesting suggestions presented, with the meeting reinforcing the idea of delaying the annual meeting from November until early 1994. COF Directors, Jim Lee and

Forsyth George Murphy, were in attendance.

Executive Director, Colin Kirk and I met with Mr. Cal Best, Chairman of the Government Task Force, and his committee regarding the Core Sport concept. We did emphasize the need for smaller sports to receive some kind of administration operating grant, if the Core Sport concept was accepted, as have other sport groups. The committee report will be presented to the government in mid to late November. It was clear that the Core Sport concept will be supported by the committee. While we have over the years been made aware that funding from our federal sponsor may stop, this time, it is not if but a matter of when.

Our best wishes and hopes for a successful WOC's to our National Team members: Pam James, Catherine Hagen, Brian May, Brian Graham, Francis Falardeau, Chris Seligy and Martin Pardoe, as they represent themselves and Canada at the World Championships in New York this October.

The next major event for you western Canadians is the WCOC's which will be held in Manitoba near Neepawa. Hope to see you in October in the sandhills on the new map in Neepawa, you will enjoy the open running and technical terrain.

Trust the weather is fine in Chithwack, Lee.

A personal thank you to the 1110 members and others who showed their support when I met them at the cham-pionships.

LE MOT DU PRESIDENT par Jack Forsyth

On ne peut pas dire que les demiers mois n'ont pas ate excitants! Bien au contraire. Le championnat national nous a en effet permis de reunir les amateurs de course d'orientation.

J'ai ate rres heureux de rencontrer de nombreux amis a l'occasion du CCCO qui s'est deroule au Nouveau-Brunswic-k. Je liens a feliciter les clubs de la province hate qui ont organise les relais et le CCCO; il etait visible qu'on avait bien planffie he deroulement de ces activites et qu'on y avait consacre de nombreux efforts. Chapeau bas aux prin-cipaux officiels : Stig Skarbom, Richard Faulkner, Gary Feeney, Gerald Lebel; aux contraleurs Pat De St. Croix et Malcolm Adams; ainsi qu'a toutes les personnes qui ont fourni tine aide precieuse. L'accueil et les dispositions

amicales des Neo-Bninswickois ont rendu noire sejour des plus agreables

Une activite de levee de fonds lancee par Nancy Craig, et qui a eu lieu pendant le championnat, a connu un vif success. En effet, la vente aux encheres par ecrit a eta appuyee par la plupart des associations et des membres qui ont donna genareusement articles, bier's et services. Grace aux efforts des donateurs et des acheteurs, plus de 2 800 $ ont ate amasses pour les federations. Merci a Colin et Lyman pour leur travail preliminaire dans le cadre de l'enchere, ainsi qu'a toutes les personnes qui y ont par-ticipe. La vente aux encheres de l'an prochain pourrait prendre de l'ampleur apres un debut aussi fulgurant.

LE MOT DU PRESIDENT (suite de la page 2)

Une reunion d'information a eu lieu a Sussex et a laquelle ont assists le president ou des membres de I'ACOA, de I'ACOM, l'ACOO, de l'ACOQ, de l'ACONg et de l'ACONB. Nombre de suggestions interessantes y ont ate presentees, notamment l'idee de remettre I'assemblee generale annuelle de novembre au debut de 1994. Jim Lee et George Murphy, directeurs de la FCCO, etaient sur place.

Le directeur administratif Colin Kirk et moi-mame avons rencontre Cal Best, president du groupe de travail mini-steriel, et les membres de son comite au sujet du concept des sports de base. Nous avons mis !'accent sur le besoin des sports de moindre importance d'avoir acces a du financement de base, si le concept des sports de base devait etre accepts, pour assurer le fonctionnement des operations courantes et ce, au meme titre que les autres sports. Le rapport du comito sera depose vers la fin de novembre. II etait evident que le concept des sports de base recevra l'appui des membres du comite. Nous avons su pendant nombre d'annees que les contributions de noire .comma-nditaire. federal allaient, un jour, prendre fin. Aujourd'hui, la question posee n'est pas si mais quand!

Nous souhaitons le meilleur succas aux membres de noire equipe nationale qui participera au championnat du monde de course d'orientation (CMCO) : Pam James, Catherine Hagen, Brian May, Brian Graham, Francis Falardeau, Chris Seligy et Martin Pardoe. Ces athletes representeront le Canada au championnat du monde qui aura lieu a New York au mois d'octobre 1993.

La prochaine competition d'envergure pour les residents de l'Ouest est le championnat de course d'orientation de l'ouest du Canada qui se deroulera au Manitoba, pros de Neepawa. J'espere avoir l'occasion de vous voir a !'oeuvre en octobre sur les dunes sablonneuses, en terrain ouvert et accidents, qui font l'objet du nouveau trace a Neepawa.

Et les conditions climatiques, comment sont-elles a Chil-liwack, Lee?

Je liens a remercier les membres de la HIT et les autres personnes qui ont montre leur appui lorsque je les ai rencontres au championnat.

WALTER KUZ 1913-1993 It is with deep regret that we inform of the death of Walter Kuz in early September from a heart ailment.

Walter, a member of the Ukrainian 0 club came to Canada from Ukraine in 1947 and never returned. A 1992 trip to Ukraine was cancelled due to his illness.

When anyone spoke of 'Walter' there was instant iden-tification (the Kuz was unnecessary). In his faded light blue 0 suit, bandana on his head, Walter was a familiar figure at Ontario 0 meets, and many others in all parts of Canada. His demeanour was always the same - a contented smile on his weather beaten face as he ambled through the forests or trotted into the Finish.

When you think of Walter you associate him with Vera Malanczyj. Vera took Walter to 0 meets and waited, sometimes anxiously, for him to 'come back'. He said he stayed out for long times as it gave him more time to enjoy nature.

Vera relates that at a C.O.C. in Manitoba Walter was out for a long time; It was very wet and some were con-cerned about him. He eventually returned dragging a large set of antlers. He had found them shortly after starting and not wanting to lose them took them along. When Vera said she had not seen any antlers Walter replied "That's the problem with too many orienteers. They run so fast they don't get a chance to see things".

Walter was still orienteering at the age of 78, the oldest orienteer in Canada. He was a great example of orien-teering being a life long sport for active people.

Walter will be sadly missed but leaves us with many memories that are all good. He will be remembered fondly by all who knew him.

He was a great example of orienteering being a life time sport for active people.

WHITHER ORIENTEERING? Orienteering World invited EDMOND SZECHENYI, President of the Federation Francaise de Course d'Onentation and a member of the 10F Council to write about one of his concerns over the development of our sport. In this article he puts the question: Whither Orienteering? (This article was taken from the July 1993 issue number 4 of Orienteering World)

In our small world of orienteering we naturally tend to have a rather uniform view of what our sport is or should be.

We live in a fast changing world and the public's percep-tion of sport is changing with it. An increasing number of people take part in outdoor sports, often preferring them to be unregulated and outside traditional structures. Many sports are losing their comfortable, sharply-defined con-tours. Well established sports create new disciplines with media appeal. Multi-disciplinary activities (e.g. triathlon) are attracting increasing attention. These developments mostly result from commercial enterprises responding to the general public's thirst for adventure and its fascination with the 'ultimate performance'. At the root of these develop-ments is our modern need to return to nature and to pit ourselves in the timeless combat of man and his environ-ment.

DIVERSIFIED FIELDS

Whether we like it or not, our own sport is also becoming increasingly drawn into diversified fields. We have all heard of spectacular multi-disciplinary trekking events, publicising the orienteering side of the competition. Teams often include orienteers to help with this speciality. The example of the trans-Sahara motor rally is telling: Ari Vatanen, the well known Finnish winner of a few years ago, explained how invaluable his orienteering experience had been for his victory. The word 'orineteering' is becoming associated with activities quite outside the domain of orienteering clubs and we would fmd it difficult to identify with some of the competitions concerned. These events invariably have commercial sponsors and are designed to appeal to the media. As orienteering is still little known throughout the world, there is a risk that the image of our sport will be shaped by competitive events we neither control nor even recognise as orienteering. This is already happening in the world of sailing: Olympic regattas and champions have only a fraction of the media value of high-sea races or the America Cup. The latter are all supported by commercial interests and organised independently of the sailing federations.

It is therefore necessary for national orienteering federa- tions to be watchful of activities that include orienteering in any form. By going out towards the organisers and negotiating partnerships we can try to establish ourselves as the universally recognised authority in all orienteering activities and thus safeguard the unique character of what

is called orienteering. It is important to anticipate or-ganisers' needs and to take the initiative while they still welcome technical expertise. Once promoters have develop-ed their own style of competition it will be difficult for us to wield any influence or to impose our views.

NEW DISCIPLINES

Through the diversified activities involving orienteering, new disciplines will evolve. There is no reason why our present two-discipline sport (on foot and on skis) should not be broadened. Today, all-terrain-bike orienteering is perhaps the strongest contender for an official place in our sport. It is not revolutionary nor does it call for unfamiliar techniques; while similar to ski-orinteering it does not suffer from the inconveniences of climatic or seasonal restrictions. The popular appeal of all-terrain biking as an outdoor activity is spreading fast throughout the world and good ATB-O terrains are widely available. Other forms of orienteering that are also gaining ground are trekking and rogaining.

Following this constant evoluation in the sporting world, I feel that we must keep an open mind regarding the development of our sport, but at the same time we need to safeguard its specificity. Essentially, the unique charac-ter of orienteering is to find and follow the best route through unknown terrain against the clock with the aid of a map and a compass". It is this fundamental definition that should be the essence of the invemational image of orienteering.

NATIONAL TEAM NEWS

WORLD ORIENTEERING CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM SELF.CTED

The athletes selected to represent Canada in the 1993 W.O.C. are

WOMEN: Pam James, Halifax, N.S. Catherine Hagen, Montreal, Quebec

MEN: Brian May, Pasadena, Newfoundland Francis Falardeau, Laval, Quebec Brian Graham, Ottawa, Ontario Chris Seligy, Orleans, Ontario Martin Pardoe, Calgary, Alberta

1ST ALTERNATE: Wil Smith, Waterside, N.B.

2ND ALTERNATE: Mike Waddington, Hamilton, Ontario

COACH: Ross Burnett, Whitehorse, Yukon

TEAM LEADER: Oivind Naess, Peterborough, Ontario

The W.O.C. will be held near West Point, New York, Oct. 8-14. Athletes from 36 nations will compete.

The team was selected after the U.S./Canada Selection Trials, Sept. 11-12. The Trials were held near West Point, at the request of the National Squad athletes who felt it a benefit to select the team on terrain similar to that of the World Championships. This is the first time this has been possible and should be advantageous to our athletes,

SELECTION TRIALS:

Brian Graham, Francis Falardeau. and Brian May took the top three spots over the two days with Graham's superb run in the day 2, the highlight performance of the trials. His 109 minutes for the 15.1km course was 10 minutes faster than the second place finisher.

The women's competition saw dose races both days with Bulgarian team member, Pavlina Genova (now living in the U.S.) edging the top U.S. competitor, Kristin Federer and Canadian Champion, Pain James. The finishing each day was Pavlina, Kristin, Pam. This trio were well ahead of all other competitors.

The W.O.C, will be the second for Pam James and Brian Graham while all other ream members will be making their World Championship debut.

In the 1991 W.O.C. Pam finished 45th in the Classic race and 17th in the Short Distance B Final. Brian was 49th in the 1991 W.O.C. Classic races and 9th in the Short Distance B Final. Based upon their form in the Selection Trials both could very well improve by several positions this time.

A TEAM OF MANY 'FIRSTS":

1. Brian May is the 1st Newfoundland orienteer to compete in a senior W.O.C.

2. Wil Smith is the 1st New Brunswick orienteer to be selected to our senior National Team.

3. Francis Falardeau is the 1st Quebec Francophone to compete in the senior W.O.C.

4. Martin Pardoe is the 1st Albertan male to compete in the senior W.O.C.

5. Another first but of a different nature is that this will be the first time since 1974 that Ted de St. Croix will not be competing in the W.O.C. Ted has been sidelined with a disc problem in his back and unable to train and compete at the level necessary for World Championships, Ted has competed in 9 consecutive W.O.C., the most by any man. Three women: Jean Ramsden, Britain; Eileen Lougman, Ireland; Sharon Crawford, U.S. have also competed in 9 W.O.C.

A TRULY NATIONAL TEAM:

Our W.O.C. team is the most representative Canadian team ever with athletes from Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario and Alberta and coach

Ross Burnett from the Yukon.

Although not having any members on the team B.C. is also represented in Ross Burnett and Catherine Hagen. Through most of his career Ross lived in Vancouver and only moved to Whitehorse a few years ago. Catherine Hagen, although currently living in Montreal is also a B.C. native and will be returning to B.C. next year. Catherine is a relative newcomer to orienteering but her father, Barry is a longtime member of OABC.

1993 C.O.C. SUNSHINE AND GOOD ORGANIZATION

The Canadian Orienteering Championships returned to New Brunswick after a period of nine years. The 1984 C.O.C. was held near Grand Falls while this years event was held in Fundy National Park.

Many of the out of province' orienteers camped in the Wolf Point Campground in the Park where a special section was reserved for orienteers. The entire C.O.C. week was sunny and hot; ideal for camping and sightse-eing but almost too hot for orienteering; nevertheless better than rain.

The road into the Park ran through the competition area and necessitated traffic guards and 'Slow Down-Runners' signs being posted along the road. The road dropped steeply to the edge of the Bay of Fundy and had several severe turns. Many competitors were observed walking on the road - perhaps they interpreted the signs 'Slow Down Runners' and, being law abiding, 'slowed down'.

On Day 1 the Start/Finish areas were situated near the top of the mapped area while Day 2 was right at the bottom. The Finish Area on Day 2 was adjacent to the Fundy Park Information Centre. A mobile canteen was located 50 metres from the Finish line and the Result Board about 30 metres from the Finish. The close proxi-mity of the Start/Finish/Parking/Results was one of the better layouts ever at a C.O.C. and greatly appreciated by the competitors.

Most competitors attended the Happy Hour and Banquet on the Saturday evening. The band in attendance 'The Gangrenes' is a group of local area doctors. Two ONB members, Ed and Luella Smith, are members of the group with Ed being the leader as well as playing the Flugelhorn; (Luella plays the clarinet).

Some notables missing from the C.O.C. included:

1. Ted de St. Croix. Ted had competed in H21 in 19 consecutive C.O.C.'s winning medals in all 19 - including 15 First place gold medals. Ted has suffered from a back problem for some time and been unable to train. In addition, when his mother, Pat, the C.O.C. Controller, was injured in an automobile accident Ted carried out some of her Course Vetting duties thereby making himself ineligible.

2. Magali Robert, Six time D21 champion Maga li had an important meeting on the COC weekend. The meeting was in a church with a priest and her husband to be. Magali had a streak of 9 COC D21 medals prior to this year. I guess she decided to go for a good ring this year.

3. Mike Waddington. The 1990 champion and 1992 North American champion was in Sweden doing research towards a PhD.

Hopefully all three will compete in the 1994 champion-ship.

Good Performances 'Highlight' The Championships

As always whenever major 0 events are held the best rise to the occasion. This year was no exception.

1. Pam James defended her D21 title with the fast rising Catherine Hagen is second place. The overall 1st place finisher was top U.S. competitor, Kristin Federer, some 6 minutes ahead of Pam.

2. The new Men's Elite Champion is Martin Pardoe of Calgary. Martin built a sizeable lead over Brian May and Brian Graham on Day 1 and held off their challenge on Day 2.

Two junior orienteers, Wil Smith of New Brunswick and Peter MacKenzie of Alberta moved up to the H21 Class and had fine runs to finish 4th and 5th Canadians.

Good Runs in Junior Men Category's

1. A local junior, Mike McEwing, won the 19-20 title over a strong challenge from young 'up and corner' Quebec runner, Eric Cyr. Each had one good and one not so good day with Mike coming out on top by 3 minutes.

2. Another New Brunswick orienteer Michael Smith, had two great runs in the Junior Men 17-18 Class. Michael's 2 Day total of 129.06 was fastest of all competitors.

Master Categories Won by Great Performances

Course 4 was the battle ground for the Master-Age categories and resulted in some of the best performances of the championships.

a) Jim Waddington of HKF with a total of 122.49 in HSO

b) Alex Kerr of Vancouver with a total of 138.12 in H55

c) Andy Lamm of Toronto O.C. with a total of 138.03 in H60

d) Winnie Stott of Forest Adventurers of York in D45 with a total of 139.18

Fastest of all on Course 4 was Al Smith of St. Louis with a total of 116.21 in H60.

Jim, Alex, Andy and Winnie had comfortable margins over their other competitors.

Younger Age Class Winners From Several Provinces

Winners in the younger age classes went to competitors from: Yukon (Adam Scheck); New Brunswick (Victoria Smith); Newfoundland (Julie-Ann Mayo); Ontario (Liam French; Karin Hoegberg and Dave Donaldson). Of these Dave Donaldson total of 68.40 on Course 3 is extremely good.

So another COC is now history and the ONB organizers must be congratulated for organizing a fine Champion- ship.

In closing I will borrow the final sentence from an article by Bill Anderson, of the Ottawa 0 club to the ONB organizers which was published in 'Capital 0 News' "Thanks, I would like you to hold the 1996 Champion-ships right here. Same spot; please bid to organize them. We're coming back!".

C. 0. F. DROPS

1. World Champion Makes Successful Marathon Debut World Orienteering Champion, Jorgen Martensson finished 5th and top Swede in the 1993 Stock-holm Marathon. Jorgen had a time of 2 hours 19 minutes - an average speed of 33.00 for 10km over the complete 42km course. Satisfied with his performance Martensson said he would now concentrate on speed work in preparation to defend his World Championship title with a goal of being under 30 minutes for 10k before the W.O.C.

2. New President for OABC Congratulations to Doug Smith of Kamloops on being elected President of the Orienteering Association of British Columbia. Doug succeeds Jennifer Fenton of Vancouver.

3. Mike Waddington and Rob Swanson Compete in Tio Mila Race a) Most Canadian orienteers are familiar with the famous Annual 5-day O'Ringen event that attracts over 20,000 competitors. Although the O'Ringen is the biggest event it takes a back seat to the Tio Mila as the main event on the Swed-ish 0 Calendar.

The Tio Mila is a 10 man Relay Race of ap-proximately 100 kilometres. The event starts in the evening and continues through the night before finishing the next morning. It is the most prestigious event that a club can win as it repre-sents strength, speed, depth and which club is the best. The result is often in doubt until the very last control with several runners sprinting to the finish just seconds apart.

Two Canadian, Mike Waddington, of HKF, and Rob Swanson of Loup Garou competed as mem-bers of the UMEA 0 Club. Mike and Rob spent four months in Umea on research studies. Both ran very well. Rob gained 16 places on his leg. Mike gained more than 20 places and had a very good time on one of the long night legs. Several hundred teams competed.

b) Mike Waddington had a second major thrill in competing in the Swedish Championships in Sundsvall, (the same weekend as the C.O.C.). The Swedish Championship is only open to a small select group of competitors who qualify through a selection process. Only about 60 competitors race in the Championships.

Permission was granted to Mike by the Swedish Elite committee upon request from the C.O.F. as Mike was unable to compete in our W.O.C. Selection Races and his results from the Swedish Championships would serve as his Selection Race. Unfortunately, Mike did not run as well as he had in other Swedish competitions. Al-though not being selected as one of our five men at the W.O.C. he was named to be 2nd alternate.

4. Pam James Runs Well in Sweden and Scotland

Canadian Women's Elite Champion, Pam spent 10 weeks training and competing in Norway, Sweden and Scotland in preparation for the 1993 W.O.C.

Pam had an a excellent 5th place in D21 A class in the O'Ringen and followed up with a 4th place in the D21 E class in the Scottish 6 days.

SILENT AUCTION A SUCCESSFUL DEBUT

Most national amateur sports organizations have a very difficult time trying to obtain sponsorship and donations from corporations and individuals. Unless a sport is extremely popular and receives a lot of media and T.V. coverage the chances of securing financial support is very difficult in the best of times and in the current tough economic situation, almost impossible.

Sport and charitable organizations have had to look at other avenues to try and raise funds. One such avenue is 'Silent Auctions'. Several national sports federations have held Silent or Blind Auctions in the last couple of years with varying degrees of success. C.O.F. Board Member, Nancy Craig, volunteered to spearhead a 'Silent Auction' to be held in conjunction with the 1993 C.O.C. in New Brunswick.

Letters were sent to Associations soliciting support in obtaining 'auction items'. Some Associations contacted their clubs to contribute items. Although the campaign started only a few months prior to the C.O.C. a con-siderable number of auction items were donated. The accompanying list of the contributors and items il-lustrates the variety of items and imagination used.

Auction items were on display at the C.O.C. Competition Centre in Fundy Park. Bid sheets for each item were posted and bids started to be made.

The main activity took place during the Saturday evening Happy Hour and Banquet. Those interested in specific items made frequent visits to the display area to check on and increase their bid by another one or two dollars.

Throughout the evening announcements were made on "closing times" for specific items (about 10 items every 15 minutes). These were followed by bidders paying final visits to check up on the status of their bid.

During the 'Auction Hours' I was busy receiving cheques /cash and writing receipts for purchases and had little opportunity to check up on the items I wanted. I lost out to: A. Terry Edgett for 6 jars of homemade Raspberry Jam donated by Anne Mahoney; B. Barb Johnson for a Thermos Jug donated by Irving's Big Boy Gas Station; C. Tim Andrews for a Fundy Park Sweat top; D. Anne Cowling for a Quilted Wall Hanging donated by Jane Brandreth; E. to Barb Johnson (again) for a Framed Stencil Painting donated by Jim Clay. However I did manage to 'steal' 4 jars of Rhubarb Pineapple marmalade donated by Mary Lou Hogg. (I think the orienteers felt sorry for me and deliberately did not out bid me on this one). The marmalade is delicious Mary Lou and I will definitely bid again if you donate more at the next C.O.F. Auction.

'Big Spender' Awards go to the Smith Family of Waterside N.B. and Bill Jervis of Toronto. Actually Bill is the runaway winner as there were 8 Smiths and only Bill and his wife, Andree.

The Auction was a lot of fun and raised over $2,800 for the C.O.F. Thanks to: the C.O.C. organizers for provid-ing facilities at the Competition Centre and Banquet Hall; Jack Forsyth and Lyman Jones for their assistance in setting out the display and 'bid sheets'; Jack Forsyth, Jim Webster, Adrian Zissos and Charlotte McNaughton for their 'hard work during the hectic time'. A special thank you to Nancy Craig for piloting the project. Most of all a sincere thank you to the C.O.F. members/clubs who donated items and to those members who purchased or bid on items and made the auction successful. This was a great first effort and will ensure future such ventures will be even better.

FOOTNOTE: A bonus to those individuals who donated items is that the C.O.F. as a registered non-profit organiza-tion is able to issue Tax Donation receipts for the amount the item was sold for.

C.O.F. President, Jack Forsyth sent letters to all those who helped at the Auction and also to Provincial Associations/Cl-ubs/Individuals for their cooperation.

NATIONAL TEAM 'FUND RAISER'

DONATION The Toronto Ukrainian 0 club planned to donate an Ukrainian vase to the 'Silent Auction'. Unfortunately, Vera Malanczyj was unable to attend the COC or have the vase delivered. She decided to conduct a raffle in order to fulfil the club's commitment.

Tickets were sold at the Ukrainian O.C. Meet Sept 19 and the Ontario Championships, Sept 25-26. The draw was made at the Ontario Championships with the holder of the lucky ticket being Nancy Prime.

The raffle raised $75.00 for the National Team. A special Thank You to Vera for her efforts to contribute to the Silent Action.

1993 JUNIOR WORLD ORIENTEERING CHAMPIONSHIPS

Bolzano Bozen, Italy, July 5 - 12

Four Canadian men competed in the 1993 J.W.O.C.: Forest Pearson, Yukon Peter MacKenzie, Alberta Wil Smith, New Brunswick Michael McEwing, New Brunswick

Wil and Michael had used DND air passes to travel to Germany and then travelled by train. Forest Pearson received travel support from the Yukon Sport Branch and flew to Zurich then took the train to Italy. Peter MacK-enzie had been attending school in Switzerland since September 1992, so did not have to travel very far.

The level of competition in the J.W.O.C. is extremely high with many of the athletes on the fringe of making their National Senior team. This year was no exception and several of the juniors will also be competing in the Senior World Championships in New York this month.

The J.W.O.C. follows a similar pattern as the Senior W.O.C. i.e.

1. Short Distance Qualification Heats 2. Short Distance Finals - A - B -C 3. Classic Distance 4. Relays

121.55 122.08 123.57

B. The Relay teams have 3 runners rather than four as in the W.O.C. A Final results:
