0 - CANADA A DIFFERENT LOOK AN EXPLANATION FROM THE NATIONAL OFFICE

In late May of this year all National Sports Organizations were notified of substantial reductions in the amount of financial assistance they would re-ceive from Fitness and Amateur Sport. The degree of reductions varied but all received cuts. The most difficult cut for most sports was in Administra-tion and Services support.

In June, the COF Board made several decisions in order to help balance the budget. As we were in the middle of the year with membership fees, lev-ies, etc. already established and with some essential expenditure commit-ments paid, it was too late to alter fees or levies. One decision was to eliminate the fall issue of Orienteering

Canada. This would reduce our costs 7 -,..-Dproximately $2800.00.

Upon reflection it was agreed that the 1989 membership fee included the issue and delivery of two issues of 0- Canada to members. The June decision was changed to one that would see the fall issue produced but in a reduced and less costly format 1.e. eliminate photographs, typesetting of head-lines, graphics layout. These steps will save approximately $700.00 but will still provide members with a mag-azine.

A decision in the number of issues produced in 1990 plus the magazine format will be made at the 1989 Annual Meeting.

PRESIDENT'S NICHE by Jack

Once again, greetings to the members of the orienteering fraternity. As the fall season comes to a close I hope that you have attained the goals you set for your-self in orienteering this year and have had a good season of running in the woods with many pleasant and enjoyable new experiences

I was sorry to miss the 1989 champion-ships in Sudbury, hosted by O.O.I. , as it was the first major event that I have missed since experiencing the woods near Morin Heights in 1974. My wife, Phyllis and I had the opportunity to travel to Australia for most of July and August and took the opportunity when it pre-sented itself.

It would appear from the information I received on the numbers that attended this year's COCs that it attracted quite a number less than normal for central Canada. The fact that we continue to have a week-long festival may prove telling on our numbers as a week to ten days can be quite expensive.

I just returned from an enjoyable week-end in Edmonton, where the Edmonton Overlanders hosted the 12th annual West-ern Canadian Championships. Once again the weatherman cooperated for the west-erners and it was a memorable event. One of the most interesting non-features on the maps were the large buffalo that grazed peaceably and for the most part taking little or no notice of the orien-teers. Ed Lowan did have to be quick of foot to side step one of these giants of

Forsyth

the prairies. The sociability was a fea-ture of the weekend with the Overlanders demonstrating western hospitality at every turn.

As addressed in another section of this publication, COF is facing a serious financial situation, with the cutbacks in government funding from Sport Canada. The Board of COF addressed the issue at our last meeting in an attempt to balance the budget. While there are some cost-saving methods we looked at and some methods of generating funding, such as hosting the 1991 COCs and the hiring out of the services of the Technical Director for clinics, mapping or as a consultant, the bottom line still required an increase in membership fees to the member as-sociations for 1990. While this is an un-fortunate measure and not likely palat-able to the associations, it was something that just had to be done.

Several years ago the COF had a block funding method of assessing provincial associations, perhaps that is something that could be again investigated. Some provincial associations may prefer to keep their own fees and the existing level and have the increase to COF in the form of a levy to COF, as some of our associations have methods of generating funds not available to the national body. However, COF must balance its budget if we are to survive as a national sport or-ganization.

I am looking forward to the upcoming AGM in Ottawa, in November, hope to see you there.

LE MOT DU PRESIDENT

par Jack Forsyth

J'ai de nouveau le grand plaisir de saluer tous les adeptes de la course d'orientation. Maintenant que l'automne approche. jespere que vous avez reussi a atteindre tous les objectifs que vous vous etiez fixes pour la saison estivale de course d'orientation et que vous avez eu beaucoup de plaisir a parcourir les bois et a vivre de nouvelles experiences.

Je regrette de ne pas avoir pu assister au championnat de 1989, a Sudbury, organise par l'O.O.I. C'est la premiere fois que je manque une importante manifestation depuis mon initiation a la course d'orientation, en 1974, pres de Morin Heights. Mon epouse et moi-rneme avons eu la possibilite de nous rendre en Australie pour une bonne partie des mois de inflict et d'aoitt, et comme ce genre d'occasion ne se presente pas souvent. nous en avons profit&

Selon les informations que Ion m'a transmises. le nombre de participants au Championnat canadien de course d'orientation de cette armee a ete beaucoup moans eleve que d'habitude pour les manifestions qui ont lieu au centre du Canada. Cette diminution devrait nous inciter a reconsiderer la duree des festivals, car les sejours d'une semaine a dix fours d'activites deviennent beaucoup trop coilteux.

Je reviens tout juste d'un sejour d'une fin de semaine a Edmonton, ofi les Overlanders ont ete les Wes du 12e Championnat canadien de l'Ouest. De nouveau, grace a la collaboration de Dame nature, les organisateurs du championnat de l'Ouest ont remporte un veritable succes. Parmi les elements qui ont ate orris sur le plan du parcours, i1 convient de souligner la presence de gros bisons qui paissaient en paix. indifferents pour la plupart au va-et-vient des concurrents. Cependant, Ed Lowan a du exceller au sprint pour eviter

de justesse un de ces geants des prairies. Les Overlanders, clouds du sens de rhospitalite caracteristique aux Bens de l'Ouest, ont ete des hOtes remarquables tout au long de la fin de semaine.

Ainsi gull en est question dans Line section du bulletin, la FCCO traverse une periode financiere difficile, en raison d'une diminution des subventions de Sport Canada. A sa derniere reunion, le conseil d'administration de la FCCO a examine les repercussions que cette situation aura pour la federation tout en cherchant reequilibrer le budget. Le Conseil s'est penche sur les facons d'une part de reduire les depenses et d'autre part d'augmenter les revenus, notamment en organisant le CCCO de 1991, en embauchant a contrat le directeur technique pour les stages, relaboration des plans de parcours, et a titre de conseiller. et en dernier ressort, en augmentant les frais d'adhesion des associations membres en 1990. Merne si cette mesure ne plait pas aux associations. elle est tout simplement inevitable.

11 y a plusieurs annees, la FCCO avait solve A adopter une methode de financement par bloc pour revaluation des frais d'adhesion des associations provinciales, peut-etre y aurait-il lieu de reconsiderer cette possibilite. 11 se pourrait aussi que certaines associations provinciales preferent que les frais d'adhesion demeurent inchanges et que ]'augmentation de la FCCO se fasse sous forme de prelevements, puisque certaines d'entre elles disposent de methodes pour amasser des fonds qui ne sont pas accessibles a l'association nationale. II reste que la FCCO doit equilibrer son budget si elle desire survivre comme organisation nationale de sport.

J'espere avoir le plaisir de vous rencontrer A Ottawa, en novembre, a l'occasion de l'a.g.a.

The run has been smooth for the first 4 controls. For numbers 1 and 2 you had an accurately mapped 1:15000 five-colour map, 5 metre contours. At number 2 you punched and received instructions to proceed on a bearing for 300 metres to a hill top. The pace was slow but the con-trol was found without problems. You had to sketch a map to get to number 4 and now you are given a 1:25000 topo-graphic map to be used for the next 2 controls. At some control before reaching the finish you will have to throw hand grenades at several targets. You are not yet quite halfway through the 14 km course.

As an orienteer you have probably not experienced this type of training or com-petition. This is what faced 20 Canadian athletes in rugged terrain near Durbach, Germany in August. The six teams of 3, plus 2 spares, were representatives in a military pentathlon. The competition also included shooting (rifle, pistol, SMG), land obstacle course, water obstacle course, grenade throwing, distance judging, and map marking over a 3-day period. The last two plus mainly orien-teering account for 35 of a team's total points over the 3 days.

CIOR stands for Confederation Interalliee des Officers de Reserve. It is dedicated to cooperation between the national Re-serve Officers Associations. The Cana-dian Team was led by the Delegation Chief, L. Col. Ross Bishop of North Halley, Que. and Head Coach, L. Cdr Fred Promoli, St. Laurent, Que. There were coaches fcr each discipline. For orienteering, I had the opportunity to work with L. Cdr. Promoli, and Adj. Philippe Vermont brought in from France, and briefly with Col. Charles Ferguson and Mrs. Linda Ferguson from USA, who had been present during my absence part way through the training. These coaches and those from other disciplines were a great group to work with.

The athletes came to camp with strong attitudes and were very willing to work and anxious to learn. I have tremendous respect for them, thinking back to the lona days of training that they endured.

So how did we do in Germany? With stat-ed goals of top ten performances, the Canadian achieved this with one team in shooting (two top 3 placings individually) and the obstacles. In the orienteering competition it should be no big surprise to orienteers that top four teams were from 1) Denmark; 2) Norway; 3) Norway; 4) Denmark . Our top team led by 2 Lt. Bruce Hambidge of Saskatchewan was 16th, twenty three minutes back of the winning time of 1:30:11. The overall results from all the disciplines saw a Norwegian team place first.

CALGARY TO HOST NEXT

INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION

Next year's international is hosted by Canada in Calgary in mid July. Some countries are regularly represented by veteran and experienced teams. The Canadian philosophy is that CIOR is but one aspect of an officers training and as such the experience factor has always been an advantage. It is expected that next year's teams will have a good nu-cleus to build upon for an improved showing on home soil. This year's ath-letes were given contacts of clubs in their area and vice versa. I hope that you will see some of them out to your meets and training events. I know that this happened in Calgary last spring. I think that it can be guaranteed that they won't be throwing hand grenades!

1989 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS REPORT by Colin Kirk

SCANDINAVIANS TAKE TOP HONOURS -

The 1989 WOC, held in the Tidaholm/ Skovde area of South Western Sweden saw the domination of the Nordic nations continue.

The Canadian Men's team, Ted de St. Croix, Ross Burnett, Oivind Naess, Mike Waddington were optimistic of performing well, especially after our fine 9th place in the Relay in the 1987 WOC. Our 4 runners had been consistent all season with very little to choose between them. In 1987 only Oivind Naess made it through the qualification race. This year it was anticipated that at least 2 and probably 3 would qualify. Our lone woman contestant, Magali Robert, was guaranteed a place in the final and was looking for a higher finish position than her 35th in 1987.

1. Qualification Events - August 16. The qualifying event is staged as two separ-ate races with 50% of the competitors in each race. The top 25 finishers in each race advances to the 'A' Final; while those below 25th place compete in the 'B' Final. Any country who does not have anyone qualify for the 'A' Final is allowed to enter one runner. This means that every country is represented in the 'A' Final.

A major drawback with orienteering is that there is nothing for the spectators to see until the athletes enter the Finish chute. The World Championships are no exception. Spectators crowd around the result board to observe the progress of their favourites through the posting of the times at the 2 radio controls. As the times of the Canadian team members were posted it became evident that we would have difficulty in qualifying more than two.

For the top nations the qualification races are just like a training run; while for the competitors from the 'have not' nations, it is a matter of life and death. In the 1st qualifying race only 10 minutes

NORTH AMERICANS DISAPPOINT

separated the 14th and 40th places, the cut-off 25th place was only 3 minutes behind the 14th. The 2 Canadians, Mike Waddington (32) and Ted de St Croix (34) were approximately 3 minutes too slow and failed to advance to the Final. In the other race only 10 minutes separ-ated 14th and 35th place. Ross Burnett qualified in 22nd place while Oivind Naess (32) missed by 3 minutes. All 4 Canadian times were within 4 minutes 30 seconds of each other. Three minutes faster, and 2 more would have qualified. Oivind in particular had been having a good run but a mistake at one late con-trol cost him a place in the final.

The U.S. Team had similar problems to ours with only one man, Mikell Platt, and one woman, Peggy Dickison, qualifying for the final.

2. 'B' Final August 17. Both Mike and Ted ran well and were among the leaders throughout the race before finishing in 6th and 7th spots. Oivind became ill and had to drop out of the race. Mike had beaten Ted by 36 seconds in the qualify-ing race and by 21 seconds in the 'B' final.

3. World Championship Final August 18. This was 'Showdown Day'. Pre -race favourites in the Men's event were de-fending champion, Kent olsson, Haken Ericsson and Jorgen Martensson all of Sweden and Petter Thoresson and Rolf Vestre of Norway. In the Women's race it was expected to be a tight race be-tween Marita Skogum, Sweden; Ragnild Bratberg, Ragnild Bente Andersen, Norway; and Jana Galikova, Czechos-lovakia.

Women's Race. The starting order had the favourites spread throughout the list but in order of Anderson, Bratberg, Skogum, Galikova. First to finish was Andersen who took the early lead, next of the four was Bratberg who bettered her teammates' time and took the lead.

7

Ragnild Bratberg was the sentimental favourite of the Norwegians, she has won the World Cup in Orienteering, twice been World Ski-0 Champion and won a gold medal as a member of the winning relay team at the 1987 WOC. The only title she had never won was the World Championship. Two weeks before the WOC she broke her arm in an '0' race and now had her forearm and hand in a cast. She insisted the cast did not ham-per her and refused to let 'journalists' make an issue of her misfortune. Now she had the lead, but not for long. The first upset of the WOC occurred when a Soviet runner, Alida Abola, came in over a minute faster than Bratberg. Now it was time to wait and see if Skogum and Galikova could beat Abola's time.

Split times from the radio controls show-ed both women well ahead of the Soviet woman and when the Swede was announ-ced at the last control 4 minutes faster than Abola, the huge crowd, estimated at 17,000 erupted in a roar. Hordes of teenaged orienteers with their faces painted with the Swedish flag and hair dyed blue and yellow rushed to the finish chute to escort their heroine to the finish line. A tense wait of 15-20 minutes went past before Galikova was announ-ced, but it was evident that she could not overtake Skogum. So a Swede, a Czech, and a Soviet took the medals followed by 5 more Scandinavians. It was necessary to go down to 18th place, Yvette Hague of Britain, to find an ath-lete outside of the power block .

The Canadian runner, Magali Robert, finished in 40th, almost exactly the same time difference behind the winner as in 1987 when finishing 35th. Magali started well and held reasonably good placing for more than half of the race but a few errors in the last third dropped her some 10 places. The U.S. woman, Peggy Dickison, finished in 47th spot - over 9 minutes behind Magali. There were 56 women in the race.

Men's Race. The starting order again had two of the favourites, Thoresen and Olsson, starting near the end of the field. The early leader was the Swede, Ericsson in a time of just over 100

minutes for the 17.8 km course. Another Swedish favourite, Martensson, came next but just failed to catch Ericsson. Next came the powerful Norwegian, Hav-ard Tveite, in a time of 99.58, a scant 6 seconds ahead of Ericsson. Interviewed immediately after finishing, Tveite said he did not think his time would hold up and would probably not be good enough for a medal. He was both right and wrong - his time did not hold up but was sufficient to earn him a medal.

Radio control reports advised that the young Norwegian, Petter Thoresen, was blitzing the course and was several min-utes faster than anyone else. He con-tinued his fantastic pace and finished almost 4 minutes ahead of Tveite. Only the defending champion, Olsson, had any chance of beating the Norwegian . To the spectators at the finish it was obvious that he could not, however, Olsson did not know this. When he came into the finish chute to a tremendous roar from the pro-Swedish crowd, he thought he had won again - only to have his spirits dashed at the finish line.

Again, the top 20 places were dominated by athletes from the Nordic nations. The top non-power block finishers were Thorsten Lenz, Germany (13) and Steven Hale, Britain (15) and the German's result is questionable. His start position was 3 minutes before 6th place finisher Peter Ivars of Finland. Ivars caught the West German before the 1/3 point of the race. From control 8 to 24 their times were identical.

Ross Burnett, had a poor race, making several errors in the early part of the race. Ross finished 55th out of 58 com-petitors. The lone U.S. runner, Mikell Platt, also did not perform as well as he is capable, placing in a tie for 43rd place.

The winning time converts into a time per km of 5.40.

4. Relay Races - August 20. Our team had finished in 9th in 1987 and we felt that our 1989 team was better. Oivind had been confined to bed for 2 days and was still weak. He declared himself fit to

8

run but it was decided he would run last rather than his usual 1st leg. We had no Women's Relay Team. There were 24 teams in the Men's event and 20 in the Women's.

The Swedish '0' Federation anticipated 25,000 spectators at the Relays and ex-pected victories for Sweden in both races. Norway was predicting one vic-tory.

Norway made one change from the four runners who ran in the Individual. They brought in the legendary Oyvin Thon, World Champion in 1979 and '81 and member of the winning relay teams in '81, '83, '85 and '87. Thon, the most success-ful orienteer ever in World Champion-ships, had announced his retirement after winning the 1988 World Cup. Now he was back for one more chance. Thon ran the 1st leg for Norway with Kent Olsson (2nd in the Individual) running 1st for Sweden. Thon gave Norway a lead of 3.12 and they ended up winning by 3.03 with a surprisingly strong Finnish team only one minute behind Sweden. The Soviet team finished in 4th place and but for a poor 1st leg could easily have been 2nd.

The Norwegian team was especially im-pressive with the four runners turning in times of 61:25, 62:24, 60:32 and 61:40. This type of consistency gave the other countries little chance of winning.

In this, the event we had hoped to do best, we had a major disappointment. Our team was basically never in the race finally finishing in 17th place behind the U.S. Team. We had started one place ahead of them going into the last leg; however, Oivind in his weakened condi-tion, was overtaken by Eric Weyman. In spite of beating us, I am certain there was little joy in the U.S. camp as they had also hoped to finish much higher than 16th.

In the Women's Relay, Ragnild Bratberg gave Norway 3 1/2 minutes' lead over arch rivals Sweden. The 2nd Norwegian runner, Andersen increased the lead over the 1st half of the course then made a disastrous 6 or 7 minute error dropping

her team back into 4th place behind Finland and Czechoslovakia. Sweden with new World Champion, Marita Skogum, running the anchor leg and a 3 minute lead had the race sewn up and the crowd started celebrating. When the times from the radio controls started coming in the celebrations quietened a bit. The bril-liant Czech woman, Jana Galikova was whittling the lead by 10-20 seconds at every control. At the 2nd last control the lead was cut to 23 seconds and an an-xious crowd waited with bated breath to see which runner would appear first. When the blue and yellow '0' suit of the Swede came into sight there was an earth shattering roar followed by an almost equally deafening roar of admiration for the gallant Galikova only 15 seconds behind.

Of the 20 teams that started in the Women's Relay only 15 were given official placing. The other five were disqualified for exceeding the time limit of 300 minutes. In the Men's Relay, two teams were disqualified for exceeding the time limit (actually their 1st leg runners ex-ceeded their allotted time and the other 3 runners were not permitted to start). One other team, France, was disqualified for mispunching.

Reflections. The beautiful natural am-phitheatre finish area used for the Relay made a beautiful grandstand for the thousands of spectators.

The sight of 17 ; 000 spectators turning their collective backs to the finish chute and action during two violent thunder-storms at the Individual WOC. The spec-tators just turned and huddled turtle-fashion until the rain stopped.

Sweden's King Carl Gustav flew in by helicopter to present the awards at the Individual WOC. This gives us an idea of of the status of orienteering in Scandina-via.

The 6 hours of live television of the World Championships. The video of the WOC was shown at the competition centre the following day. Those watching the television saw much more of the action than those at the actual races.

9

Canadian orienteers among the spectators the WOC events were: Pat, Dick and Maureen de St. Croix, Ulu Unligil and Alan Beauchamp, Ottawa; Simon Toole, Montreal; Gosta and Ellen Edvardson, Ottawa; Cord Palm of Alberta carrying an enormous Canadian flag.

Post Mortem. What went wrong? Why did our team not achieve better results? Where do we go from here? Those ques-tions are being asked in several countries. The Swiss Federation are wondering why their Relay team have slipped several places from 1987 and why their Individual results are all down. One theory is that their team is not fast enough or strong enough resulting in errors and loss of many places over the last third of the course. The British Federation is not happy with the 10th and 12th placing in the Women's and Men's Relay when they were expecting top 5 or 6. On the other hand Hungary is very happy with a 6th place in the Women's and 8th in the Men's relay. The Hungarian Women's team contained 3 juniors and the 4th woman is only 21 so they could be even better in 1991.

Our men's performances in both the qualification race and the relay were consistent with each other as they have been all season. A review of the qualifi-cation races and relay times show very similar performances. If we accept that the 'A' Final placing are 1-58 and that the 'B' Final placing are really for posi- tions were.

59-98, then our actual results

1 2 3 Qualify Ind Relays

Ross 54 55 65 Mike 55 64 66 Ted 58 65 57 Oivind 71 DNF 79

This is purely ranking the athletes in strict order of time regardless of the fact that the relay legs and 'A' and 'B' quali-fication courses were slightly different.

Of the top 14 teams in the relay event, Ted de St. Croix's time (our fastest) was only better than 3 runners - 1 each from West Germany, Britain and Poland. Indications are that the competition at the top is getting tougher and faster. The 1991 WOC will be held in Czechos-lovakia and early rumours are that it will be in very fast terrain. We must some-how find the means to get our younger athletes overseas and into international competition. They must learn to orienteer at high speed in top competition in order to improve.

There has been criticism made of the COF decision to only send athletes to the WOC who it was felt had a reasonable chance to finish in the top 50% i.e. make it into the Final. This is the third time that qualification races have been in effect at the WOC and the third time that we have only managed too aet one man into the final. Somewhere the system is falling down when evaluating potential perfor-mances at the Worlds. We have not sent full women's teams because the expected performance levels were not evident. The same sort of objective evaluation will have to be made with the men's team in future.

Changes in WOC Format Probable in 1991. Most member federations of the TOF do not like the qualification race system nor the 'B' final.

A proposal to restrict the number of athletes entered from each country to the WOC will be discussed at the 1990 IOF Congress. The following will likely be adopted.

1. There will be no qualification events. 2. All countries will be allowed to enter two men and two women in the WOC In-dividual events. 3. Countries who placed 2 athletes in the top 30 at the previous WOC will be allowed to enter a third runner. 4. Countries who placed 2 athletes in the top 10 at the previous WOC will be allowed to enter a fourth runner.

Based upon 1989 WOC results, the follow-ing would be allowed in 1991:

This will certainly put pressure on ath-letes to perform well in their countries' selection races. It also means that those nations with only 2 runners will never get a third into the WOC until their two can make it into the top 30. There is only one occasion where we would have quali-fied to enter a third runner- 1979.

New WOC Event. There will probably be a new shorter distance event introduced in 1991 at perhaps 60-75% of the present distance. There would therefore be 2 races, a 15-17 km and a 9-10 km event for men and a 10-11 km and a 6.5 - 7.5 km event for women.

Presumably countries would be able to enter 4 runners in the new event in 1991 with those results used to set the quotas for 1993.

It adds up to it becoming tougher to make it to the WOC and more stringent selection criteria.

I know our team members are disap-pointed with their results, but they are our best and they did their best. Most have indicated that they will train harder than ever to improve and qualify in 1991.

C .0.0 REPORT by Colin Kirk

PASADENA STARS SHINE IN SUDBURY SUN

The 22nd Canadian Orienteering Cham-pionships were held on an area adjacent to the Laurentian University. This was the 7th COC held in Ontario but the first held in the Northern part of the pro-vince. Each area of Canada offers an unique type of '0' terrain eg; the in-tricate sandhill country of Western Mani-toba; the tough thick forests of the Laurentian-Gatineau reaion of Quebec. The Sudbury region offers yet another fascinating patch in the mosaic of Cana-dian '0' terrain - huge open rock moun-tains that resemble a moonscape and offers fast running but tricky naviga-tion.

Most competitors had never orienteered in Sudbury-type terrain but, like the Hartney and Carberry sandhills, learned to appreciate and enjoy the different character of the terrain. The beautiful weather which lasted throughout the entire 9 days of the COC week made for enjoyable orienteering. The dry weather made for good footing on the open rock areas which could become treacherous if wet.

The University made for an ideal Com-petition Centre and the majority of the competitors either stayed in the Univer-sity Residences or camped adjacent to the Competition Centre. The COC, Relay event and midweek 'A' meet were all located in close proximity to the Univer-sity making for short rides to and from the meet. The shopping plazas, rest-aurants and theatres only a few minutes away were greatly appreciated by the orienteers. All in all probably the best ever Competition Centre facilities at a COC.

The major problem surrounding the championship organization was the area and map. Several problems and delays in map production resulted in a decision to re-locate the championship from the originally planned area to the one being

used for the Relay. The Relay was moved to an adjoining area using an existing map of the Laurentian University area. While this was a necessary step and a fairly good compromise solution, the area was really much too small to plan good courses for a 2-Day Championship. The H21 course had to cross through the area twice each day. The course planning problems were compounded by a large lake jutting into the centre of the area and meant having many of the courses go across a causeway. It must have been a very difficult task to plan S courses for 2 days in such a restricted area.

An added problem for the course plan-ners was that the H & 1)21 races were being used as the Selection Races to pick our World Championship team. The Selec-tion Committee had established a criteria that only those competitors who finished within 30 seconds per kilometre behind the winner would be considered for a place on the team.

COURSE 8 - H21 - TED SQUEAKS :

There were 6 or 7 runners with a chance of winning and qualifying for the WOC team and after Day 1 the results led to much speculation. On top was Mike Wad-dington with a 3 minute edge over Mark Adams with Ross Burnett another 3 min-utes behind. Ted de St. Croix and Oivind Naess were 9 1/2 and 11 minutes behind respectively.

It looked like a 3-way battle between Mike, Mark and Ross with Ted and Oivind fighting for the last spot on the team but also fighting the 30 sec./km criteria. Neither could afford to lose any more time to the leader and still make the team.

DAY 2: Ted was the first of the leaders ITTElish. He had a good run but now had to wait and see whether it was good enough to make the team. Ross was next

13

to finish and ended up 20 seconds behind Ted in total. As time ticked away it became evident that the two leaders were having trouble. The possibility of Ted coming through to win yet another title became-first a thought-then reality. The tables had turned and now Mike Wadding-ton was struggling to make the team and the 30 sec. criteria. After the last of the challengers, Oivind Naess, had finished and the dust settled; the result was Ted in 1st, Ross 2nd, Oivind 3rd, Mark 4th.

Ted had pulled off yet another Day 2 recovery to win his 13th Elite Men's title in 14 years. An amazing feat. The 20 sec. margin he squeaked through by is not the closest ever in the H21. in 1975 Ted lost to Ron Lowry by 1 second over 2 days. In 1974 Ted also lost to Ron by 1 second for 2nd place behind winner Gord Hunter.

COURSE 7 - MACAU ROMPS AND SELIGY SIZZLES

In the 3 pre-COC meets held the week prior to the COC, Magali Robert had been so dominant that the big questions were: Could she continue to win by such margins and would any other competitor be close enough to qualify for the WOC team? After a fine run on Day 1, Magali had a 9 minute lead and had given the other contenders a difficult task . On Day 2 she won by an even greater marain and she romped home 24 minutes ahead of defending champion, Pam James; with Gabrielle Savard taking 3rd place. This was Magali's 4th win in 6 years.

If Magali was hot then defending H19-20 champion, Chris Seligy, sizzled turning in the fastest time each day on course 7. In particular his Day 2 time of 65:40 was outstanding and perhaps the best perfor-mance of the entire championship. it will be interesting to see how Chris fares when he moves to the H21 category next year. Overshadowed by Seligy were two solid runs by Bruce Lusby from Halifax. Bruce is another of the fine young com-petitors from Eastern Canada and he has improved rapidly in a short period of time.

QUARTET OF NEWFOUNDLAND JUNIORS STAR ON COURSES 4, 5, AND 6

When speaking of rapidly improving

young competitors from Eastern Canada you must first look at the Skinner sisters, Sonya, Andrea and Allison and Brian May from Pasadena on the West Coast of Newfoundland. if the Best Club Award was given based upon a per-centage of points/results relative. to number of club members or participants at the COC, the Pasadena 0. Club would win the trophy every year.

Brian May outclassed his opposition in winning the H17-18 title. Brian is one of the young athletes who the COF is hop-ing continues to improve and become a future National Team member.

What can you say about the remarkable achievements of the 3 Skinner girls. Eldest sister, Sonya, won the D17-18 title in both 1987 and '88 and this year added the D19-20 crown. Youngest of the trio, Allison, won the D13-14 in both 1985 & '86, won the D15-16 last year and this year won the D17-18 title. Middle sister, Andrea, while not capturing any individual titles (she always has to com-pete aaainst Sonya or Allison) has had several 2nd & 3rd place finishes behind her sisters. As a Relay team they have been easy winners of the Junior Ladies title the last 2 years.

Sonya, Allison and Brian are all members of the National Team Development Squad, with good possibilities of making the WOC team in the not-too-distant future. Brian and Allison were fastest of all competitors on Course 6 & 4 respectively while Sonya was 2nd fastest on Course 5, beaten only by the speedy U.S. veteran Al Smith.

COURSES 1, 2, 3, - FEATURES MORE PROMISING YOUNGSTERS

Some of the younger age categories had some fine performances and close com-petition for example: the H13-14 with the first 3 within 5 minutes of each other and the medal winners representing 3 provin-ces-N.B., Ontario and Alberta. A similar situation occurred in the H15-16 with local boy, Ben Sidney winning over Forest Pearson (Yukon) and Peter MacK-enzie (Alta). Special recognition must be made of Forest Pearson's 2nd place finish as this is the first occasion that a com-petitor from the Yukon has won a COC medal. I realize that Ross Burnett fini-shed 2nd in H21 but he is really a B.C.

CANADIAN WOC TEAM SELECTION PROCESS

product who only moved to the Yukon this year. A close finish in the H11-12 (the first 5 within 5 minutes) saw Chad Spence of Toronto in 2nd place, sand-wiched between two Fundy O.C. boys, Ben Pollock (1) and Jeff Mahoney

On the female side of the 11-12, 13-14 & 15-16 categories, Becky Sidney dupli-cating brother Ben by winning the D13-14 over 2 more Fundy 0. C. girls, Cheryl Mahoney and Sara Meldrum. In the D15-16 category, Andrea McNeil, Loup Garou, beat out Allison Keeley of Parkland O.C. in a close race with an-other LG member, Allison Stoddart in 3rd place.

The youngest age group D11-12 had Sarah Collings of B.C. with a comfortable margin of the Ible sisters, Lynn and Jenith of the Parkland 0.C., Alberta.

CLOSING COMMENTS: Where were all the participants? This was the 4th consecu-tive year that there were only about 300 competitors at the COC. Has the multi-day summer festival concept run its course? Should the COC revert back to a lona weekend format? Should the event be held during the slimmer every second year and in the fall the other year? Planning the COC is a major task and with only 300 competitors some potential organizers may be asking themselves if it is worth the effort.

The VP National Teams, Ian Miller, had established Selection Criteria that stated only competitors who finished within 30 seconds per kilometre behind the winner would be considered for selection to the W.O.C. team.

In the case of the Women, only Magali Robert was selected as no one else met the criteria.

Six men all met the 30 second criteria and the first 4 finishers - Ted de St. Croix, Ross Burnett, Oivind Naess and Mark

Adams were named as the team. Mark Adams declined his position. Based upon results of other competitions this year plus the fact that he had also met the 30 second per kilometre criteria, Mike Wad-dington was named to replace Mark.

The setting of an objective criteria is in principle a good step. Based upon the WOC Qualification Results it is unlikely anyone not selected to the team would have made it through the WOC Qualifica-tion Race. However, the results say that perhaps 30 second/km is still not objec-tive enough. if the winner of the COC has a poor race or is not of world class calibre then there is a danger of sending a team whose members have no chance of performing well. The IOF may solve this problem, to some extent, if they intro-duce their new criteria for number of athletes per country in 1991 (see article "1989 World Championship Report" else-where in this issue. )

STOP PRESS! ! !

NO SKI-0 IN 1994 WINTER OLYMPICS

The October issue of the Canadian Olympic Assoc. newsletter advises that the International Olympic Com-mittee have decided that there will be no Demonstration Sports in the 1994 Winter Olympic Games in Nor-way. Further, the IOC has decided that after the 1992 Summer Games there will no longer be Demonstra-tion Sports at any future Olympic

Games .

New Sports being included in the Olympics will have to be accepted as a full Olympic Sport.

Orienteering had been trying to get into the Olympics and it had been felt that Ski-Orienteering offered the best chance as the Winter Oly-mpic Programme is much smaller than the Summer Games.

1989 CANADIAN CHAMPIONSHIP RELAYS by Colin Kirk

Due to complications/delays in the pro-duction of the COC Individual map the relay site was changed from the planned area to one previously used -The Laur-entian University map - and the planned Relay map/area re-assigned to the COC Individual.

This did not cause any hardships for the Relay organizers, in fact the area used was probably better than the original site.

The Relay format was for club teams rather than provincial teams. This was done to aive more teams an opportunity to win rather than a few packed provin-cial teams. Although there has been criticism of this change, the results indicate that it was completely success-ful. In 1988 the seven championship categories were won by 3 provinces with 2 winning three categories each and one province winning one. In 1989 six dif-ferent clubs representing 6 different provinces won titles. Only one club/pro-vince won two titles.

Unfortunately, a wrongly coded control resulted in the cancellation of two categ-ories and deprived two teams of victory in the D20 and under and the D35 categ-ories. The cancellation of these categor-

ies should not detract from the fine performances by members of the Pasa-dena 0. Club, Nfld. and Coureur de Bois Club, Man. with both teams well ahead of the second place finishers. The or-ganizers, while sympathizing with the competitors, had no alternative except to cancel the course - the COF rules are quite clear on the reasons for course cancellation. The results and times of the teams were included in the results but no medals awarded.

A major concern is with the low number of participants relative to the number of hours that go into organizing major events. Since 1983 we have averaged around 300 competitors in the COC In-dividual and less than 200 in the Relays_

The small number of teams in some categ-ories led to few close competitions. In most categories the winning margins were substantial and the final outcome ap-parent by the end of the second leg. The one exception was in the HID 14 and under category where 2 teams from the Fundy 0.C. finished only 15 seconds apart with the two other teams repre-senting Parkland O.C. and FAY 0.C. being only 16 seconds apart in the strug-gle for 3rd place.

SCHOOL ORIENTEERING TO CLUB ORIENTEERING

by Colin Kirk

The question, "How can we get school groups involved in regular '0' activities and participate in local events?" has probably been asked more than any other by club officials and members.

Surveys conducted by the COF and pro- vincial associations advise that thousands of students are being taught some level of orienteering. Local clubs have given numerous clinics for schools and teachers

SCHOOL '0' TO CLUB '0' (con't) with very little to show in return by an increased number of members or atten-dees at meets.

colour city maps in the Ottawa area). In some instances two schools may share the same 'Home Field' area.

Each school will be responsible for or-ganizing one meet as their 'home match'. The students of the hosting school will not compete in their 'home match' but will be involved in time keeping, results, registration etc. A member of one of the 2 local clubs will be the Controller/Tech-nical Advisor to ensure the Course Plan-ning is appropriate and correct. A league Final will be organized by a local club in a neutral area eg: Gatineau Park. The meets will be organized after school 3:30-4:00 pm start. The Final will be the only meet where students will have to miss any actual school. This format is similar to other inter-school sport activities with the events taking place after school.

LOCAL CLUBS PROVIDE COACHES

A further link in bridging the gap is a plan in which the 2 Ottawa clubs-Ottawa 0.C. and Loup Garou 0.C. will offer the services of a member as a school coach. This will give many benefits to the school and the club.

1. Provide competent coaching. 2. Relieve teachers of extra workload. 3. Establish communication between stu-dents, schools, local '0' clubs. 4. Ensure continuance of the program (if the teacher leaves or interests change). 5. Provides avenue for '0' clubs to deve-lop coaches. 6. Provides feeder system into club pro-grammes. 7. Gives orienteering the opportunity to compete with other sports for talented young athletes at an early age _

Getting the students to meets will be considerably easier if they are active members of a local club. Students from the same school will already possess some team spirit and this can be infectious to other club members. Students wishing to do well in the school league matches will probably compete in local '0' meets to improve their skills; especially if they have a club coach who recommends that they do so.

Hopefully the above plan will help es-tablish a sound inter-scholastic base for orienteering in the Ottawa area.

As a sport we need an annual influx of new members. A review of most meet results indicate that the junior age cate-gories have the least number of partici-pants. We need many more junior athletes who can be developed into our future leaders, mappers, course planners and National Team athletes. Easier said than done. How can we make it happen?

First, clubs should not rely on teachers to bring the students to meets. The teacher's work week is Monday to Friday and does not include taking pupils to sporting events on weekends. The teach-er may teach orienteering during the week but that doesn't say he/she likes it enough to participate in meets. The teacher may also be actively involved in some other sport on weekends. A teacher may teach 4 or 5 sports and cannot par-ticipate in all of them.

If the schools are teaching some level of orienteering then it is up to the local '0' club to reach out and Bridge the Gap. In most other minor league sports eg: base-ball, soccer, X-C skiing, the local club or Dept. of Recreation organize the lea-gues/games/coaching-not the schools. If orienteering clubs/associations are to be successful in attracting students, then they must be prepared to provide the same degree of service and support.

On the other hand the schools have to be more self-dependent and not turn to the '0' club every time they need a clinic. In some instances the same teacher requests a beginner clinic or assisting in planning a Field Day every spring.

HIGH SCHOOL '0' LEAGUE IN 1990

The spring of 1990 will see a new ap-proach being introduced in the Ottawa area, more specifically within the Car-leton School Board. It is anticipated that 7 or 8 of the 16 CSB High Schools will participate in an Inter scholastic '0' League.

Each school will be designated a 'Home Field' from one of the Ottawa city parks that have been mapped (there are 6

COACHING IDEAS FOR JUNIOR DEVELOPMENT

by Bev MacKenzie

I am very honoured to have been chosen by COF as the female Medallion Reci-pient. I would like to share with you some of the Parkland Orienteering Club's successful coaching ideas and would appreciate hearing from you about your club's junior development program.

We decided that it is very important to develop the 12 and under category for the following reasons: 1) Familiarize them with '0' because the older junior high-school kids generally don't start some-thing different without this pre-con-ditioning. 2) Give them a chance to run a course one for 2 or 3 years before com-peting on the tougher courses without prior experience. 3) Get their parents involved and knowing what '0' is so that they either get involved themselves, or help with the driving or other things they feel they can do. Parents of junior high students tend to let their kids try things on their own so the '0' coach never meets or utilizes these adults. 4) More of the younger kids' peers get in-volved so the sport is more fun. 5) The 12 and under athlete is more likely to continue competing whereas out of our

local students who were introduced to '0' only in high school, NONE of them are involved now.

We are now using a form of "team teach-ing" and have actively worked at deve-loping depth in coaching. We have 4 cer-tified club coaches and another 5 who will either be certified soon or will be taking NCCP. Our club pays half their course costs as we feel it is very important to develop leadership.

We divide our juniors into 3 categories: 1. The elementary school level where orienteering is taught in physical educa-tion classes to all students grades 1 to 6 (800 students). To complement this, there is an extracurricular "orienteering team" which any interested grade 4, 5, or 6 student may join. The team meets for an hour of training once a week for about 6 weeks during the spring. The coach targets several local meets and a Provincial championship to attend. As with other sports teams, parents are asked to provide support and transporta-tion. There are about 22 team members coached by Mark Huddleston.

21

2. The junior highschool level. Orien-teering is taught in some physical educa-tion classes in grades 7 to 12 (800 stu-dents). There is an extracurricular team which trains on a similar schedule as above. There are about 7 team members coached by Laurie Curson.

3. The competitive development team consisting of 9 juniors aged 14 and up, plus 4 younger juniors who attend with parents. The team trains once a week formally, plus each junior is expected to train for fitness and 'armchair 0' on their own. They attend all required provincial selection meets, Canadian Championships and Western Canadian Championships. The team is coached by Bev MacKenzie and Rob MacKenzie.

Parkland '0' Club developed their strate-gies in a rather backward manner, start-ing first with senior high students a few years ago. 1989 is the first year with the extra curricular elementary school level team and as you can see, it is very pop-ular. We expect that the cascading effect will strengthen our older teams in a few years. Why we ever started with the older kids, I can't explain...It is really obvious when you look at any other sport, that starting with a broad base at the elementary level will eventually give you knowledgable youth, participation, parent involvement, and eventually, the elite we are seeking.

Please send me your ideas regarding junior development at your club. Contact me if you would like a copy of my plan for developing the 12 and under cate-gory.

COACHING CORNER by Lyman Jones

COACHING PLANNING SEMINAR

The importance of development of orien-teering coaches to the growth of our

sport can be seen at both domestic and high performance levels.

In September the Coaching Association of Canada (CAC) and National Sport Organ-izations (NSOs) met to look at priorities for the next 10 years and to review programs and services. Among topics discussed were commitment to coaching education and development. Several sports have recognized coaching as a priority in their development of clubs.

In our sport a broader base of club coaches can be a key to club develop-ment. This is illustrated in article by 3M Year of the Coach award recipient, Bev MacKenzie. A key to the success of their club program has been efforts at building depth in coaching. The role taken by each coach can vary. Perhaps it will be to help organize weekly club training sessions on local maps. Maybe it is to help a recreational adult orienteer pro-gress from course two to course three level. Some will have a hand in helping an aspiring young junior to reach com-petitive goals. In any of these roles it is likely that the coach's own orienteering ability will also improve.

NATIONAL COACHING CERTIFICATION PROGRAM (NCCP)

The NCCP is a proven vehicle for helping coaches to become more knowledgeable and to improve as coaches. Provincial associations are responsible for im-plementing the programs and can provide you with details on upcoming clinic dates and locations. Contact them now to show your interest and make the upcoming season the year that you become a coach.

CERTIFIED COACHES

Recently added to our list of fully cer-tified coaches is Nancy Prime of New market, Ontario. Nancy works with students at several schools in addition to coaching juniors with the Forest Adven-turers of York (FAY). Congratulations Nancy, on completing the theory, techni-cal and practical components of Level 1.

SASS PEEPRE NATIONAL JUNIOR TRAINING CAMP

by Lyman Jones

The 1989 Sass Peepre Junior Training Camp was held July 2 - 6 in the Ottawa area. This was in the week prior to the start of the Ontario 5-day competitions.

Check-in was on Sunday July 2 with training starting the following day. Mrs. Pat de St. Croix visited on Sunday even-ing to speak to the group about Sass Peepre, his contributions to orienteering and the Sass Peepre Fund. The camp concluded Thursday, July 6.

The following information highlights some of the camp specifics and some recommen-dations and thoughts for future camps.

BUDGET: The budget was estimated to allow us to break even while keeping costs for participants as low as possible. Even with this in mind the cost was still $150 per camper.

Sources of revenue were the registration fees and a $600.00 contribution from the Sass Peepre Fund. Costs for coaches, camp expenses were borne by the above.

ACCOMMODATION: Accommodation was in residence at Ottawa University. We had access to a common room for morning '0' school and for any rainy possibilities.

COACHING The National Junior Training Camp by its name implies junior partici-ation; hence juniors enjoying benefits that result. Much of the positive aspects are the result of some hard-working coaches and this year was no exception. By having the opportunity to be involved in such camps, the coaches are also benefiting greatly from working with the juniors. The interaction among coaches also provides for showing knowledge and coaching experiences. It is worth noting that some coaches in the local area were more than willing to help.

Several of the older juniors also tried their hand at helping with some coaching duties and found it to be a very positive

experience. This should probably be tried again at future camps.

Many thanks must go to Rob & Bev Mac-kenzie, Pam James, Ulu Unligil, Brian Graham, Donald Watson, Chris Seligy and Cord Hunter.

TRAINING: The actual training occurred as follows:

Day 1 am - relocation, simulated starts, group runs to allow observation. pm - Rough orienteering

Day 2 am - Precision '0', line course pm - Precision '0' - control picking.

Day 3 am - More control picking and work at control technique. pm - Mapping session at local school

Day 4 am - line '0'. pm - evaluations

In addition, classroom sessions were done on warmups, start procedure and pre-paration, rough and precision "0", race preparation, goal setting and training programs.

COMMENTS, RECOMMENDATIONS: A bonus would be to have a combined Level 1, 2 NCCP course just prior to the camp. This would help provide extra coaches for the camp and be a great opportunity for these coaches to immediately apply course content and learn from other coaches. This T feel is one of the best scenarios for our Technical coaching courses. We must work on coaching deve-lopment if we are thinking also of junior development, adult programs and club development.

Follow up contact should be made with junior camp participants. They really do look up to the coaches and it is these juniors who are our future coaches and leaders. (continued on next page)

MEETING HIGHLIGHTS BOARD MEETINGS - JUNE 3 -4 & AUGUST 25-2 7 , 1989

1. COF to Organize 1991 COC: It had previously been announced that the Loup Garou O.C. would organize the 1991 COC in an Eastern Ontario location . Due to financial cutbacks from Fitness and Ama-teur Sport, the B .0 B.O.D. decided that COF will organize the event in order to gener-ate revenue to offset the cuts. The C .0.C. will still be organized in the Eastern Ontario region with the COF National Office staff being main or-ganizers.

2. Annual Meeting Location Changed: Delegates attending the 1988 A. G.M. had agreed that the 1989 meeting would be held in Toronto. Based upon cuts in Government funding, the B .0.D . decided that the Annual Meeting be held in the city that was the most financially econom-ical to COF. A comparison between Mon-treal, Toronto and Ottawa relative to air travel and hotel costs showed that an Ottawa meeting would result in substan-tial cost savings. The Directors approved the change in location. The Annual Meet-ing will be held November 11-12 at the Delta Ottawa Hotel.

3. Closing Date for Championship Entries - COC & NAOC: The following 2 motions were approved by the Directors: a) "The closing date for entries for the COC and NAOC should be no earlier than 4 weeks prior to the events. Entries received later may be subject to a late entry fee."

b) "Under exceptional circumstances the organizers can approach the Board of Directors for an extension to the closing date of up to four weeks with the ration-ale for the change."

4. Organization of Future Canadian Championships - 1991, 1992, 1993: Based upon the relatively low number of COF members attending the C.O. C . eg: ap-proximately 300 each year since 1983, the value of the multi-day week long of ac-tivities was discussed. The COF only requires that organizers plan for a 2-Day C .0 .0 . plus the Relay. The following motion was approved:

"That delegates at the AGM be in-formed that the COC must consist of a 3-Day event (2 day Individual plus a Relay. Any reasonable time/ date is acceptable. Multi-day events in July/August are not mandatory."

5. Ontario to Host World Cup Event -October 3, 1992: With the 1993 World Championships scheduled for the U.S.A. in 1993, the IOF felt that 2 World Cup events be organized in North America in 1992 (one in the U.S. and one in Canada) to provide opportunities for National Teams to compete and train in similar type terrain. The Board of Directors requested bids and O.O.I. agreed to organize the event. Following negotia-tions with the IOF World Cup Committee and the USOF, it was agreed that the Ontario event would be held Saturday, October 3 (Day 1 of the Ontario Cham-pionships). The U.S. event will be held on Sunday, Oct. 11.

6. Annual Meeting Plans re: Member-ship Fees, Increases, Levies and Other Financial Matters: Based upon the se-verity of Fitness and Amateur Sport cutbacks in financial support it was decided "That the President, VP Finance and the Executive Director meet to anal-yze the financial situation and produce a membership fee that creates a balanced budget for office/administration costs for the COF. This will be presented at the AGM."

SASS PEEPRE JR. CAMP

(continued from previous page)

In conclusion, despite some problems I think the camp was a success. Friendships were made and renewed, some orienteering technique was learned and/or reviewed (see COC results) and we have people looking forward to next year's camp.

SAILLANTS DES REUNIONS DU CONSEIL D'ADMINISTRATION

FAITS

DU 3 AU 4 JUIN ET DU 25 AU 27 AOOT 1989

1. La FCCO organise le CCCO DE ;991 : contrairement a ce qui a ete annonce, l'organisation du CCCO de 1991 dans l'est de l'Ontario ne relevera pas du club de course d'orientation Loup Garou. En raison de la baisse des subventions provenant de Condition physique et Sport amateur, le conseil d'administration a decide que la FCCO se chargerait d'organiser la competition afin d'eviter un deficit. Le CCCO aura cependant lieu dans la region de l'est de l'Ontario et le bureau national de la FCCO en assumera principalement l'organisation.

2. L'assemblee generale annuelle aura lieu A Ottawa . les delegues presents a l'a.g.a. de 1988 avaient convenu que l'asseMblee de 1989 aurait lieu a Toronto. En raison de la baisse des subventions gouvernementales, le conseil d'administration a decide que la reunion aurait lieu a Ottawa, parce qu'il s'agit de la solution la plus economique pour la FCCO. Apres comparaison des frais de voyage et d'hebergement qu'entrainerait la tenue de l'assemblee a Montreal, a Toronto et a Ottawa, la ville d'Ottawa s'est averee la solution la plus rentable. Les administrateurs de la Federation ont done approuve le changement et l'asseMblee annuelle aura ainsi lieu les 11 et 12 noveMbre a l'hatel Delta d'Ottawa.

3. pate limite pour l'inscription au CCCO et au NAOC : les administrateurs de la Federation ont approuve les deux propositions suivantes : a) <<Que la date limite pour l'inscription au CCCO et au NACC soit fixee au plus tard 4 semaines avant la tenue des championnats. Les inscriptions revues apres la date

limite pourront faire l'objet d'une surcharge.»

b) oDans des circonstances exceptionnelles, les organisateurs pourront demander au conseil d'administration l'autorisation de reporter de quatre semaines au maximum la date limite de reception des inscriptions, en indiquant les raisons de leur requete.»

4. Organisation des championnats canadiens de 1991. 1992 et 1993 : en raison de la faible participation des membres de la FCCO aux CCCO, soit en moyenne 300 participants par armee depuis 1983, le conseil d'administration a examine la pertinence d'organiser des festivals d'activites variees qui durent en general une semaine. La FCCO exige seulement des organisateurs qu'ils prevoient deux jours pour le CCCO, et un jour pour le relais. C'est aussi pourquoi le conseil d'administration a adopte la proposition suivante :

<<Que l'on informe les delegues presents aux assemblees generales que le CCCO doit durer trois jours (deux jours pour les epreuves individuelles et un jour pour l'epreuve de relais), que le lieu et la date oU se deroule le championnat ne sont soumis aucune restriction, a condition d'être raisonnables, et que les organisateurs ne sont pas tenus dans les mois de juillet et d'aoiat d'organiser des festivals d'activites variees.»

5. La province d'Ontario hote d'une epreuve de la Coupe du monde le 3 octobre 1992 : puisque le Championnat du monde de 1993 aura

25

SILVA AWARD WINNER PETER SMITH - B.C.

lieu aux ttats-Unis, la FICO a juge qu'il y avait lieu de provoir deux epreuves de la Coupe du monde en Amerique du Nord en 1992, une aux Etats-Unis et l'autre au Canada afin de donner aux equipes nationales respectives l'occasion de se rnesurer d'autres equipes et de s'entraIner sur le genre de parcours qui sera utilise en 1993. Le conseil d'administration a presente une demande de propositions et 1'0.0.1 a accepte d'organiser cette epreuve. Apres discussion avec le comite organisateur de la Coupe du monde de la FICO et 1'USOF, il a ete convenu que l'epreuve en Ontario aurait lieu le samedi 3 octobre (Jour 1 du championnat de 1'Ontario), et celle aux Etats-Unis, le dimanche 11 octobre.

6. Planification de l'assemblee generale - augmentation des frais ,

d'adhesion. prelevements et autres points ayant trait aux finances : en raison de la diminution substantielle de l'appui financier de Condition physique et Sport amateur, it a ete convenu : «Que le president, le vice-president aux finances et le directeur administratif se reuniront pour analyser la situation financiere de la Federation et etablir des frais d'adhesion permettant d'equilibrer le budget de la FCCO sur le plan de l'administration et des activites du secretariat. Une proposition a cet effet sera presentee aux membres a l'a.g.a.>

Congratulations to Peter Smith of the Cowichan Valley 0.C., the 1988 winner of the Silva Challenge Award.

Peter is both the founder and president of the CVOC and has also served as president of OABC. During his term as president, the OABC rose to the number one position in Canada with the greatest number of members of any provincial association. Increase in number of mem-bers is one of Peter's main contributions to our sport with much of his efforts as president of CVOC and OABC having been channelled in this direction.

One of the most active leaders/competi-tors in the country, Peter has made maps - both black and white and multi-colour-ed; organized many meets at various levels (school ; 'B' & 'A' meets) a well as organizing training sessions, coaching clinics and training camps. Coaching and training are two of the areas that Peter excels in and over the past few years he has developed some of the best junior competitors in canada.

Due to a long time knee injury which necessitated an operation earlier this year, Peter has been unable to compete this year and had to miss the COC. Upon being advised of winning the Silva Chal-lenge Award, Peter wrote that he was honoured to being named a recipient and that it had helped him to get out of a despondent mood and start looking for-ward to the day when he becomes more active and involved again.

ACT OF MERCY

The following article was submitted by Shirley in The Vancouver Sun while holidaying in B.0

Pommier of Sudbury, Ontario who saw it . after the COC.

The warmth of the B.C. Sum:er Games was turned up a couple of degrees by Kyle Nicholson on Saturday.

Nicholson. competing in IS-1S year-olds orienteering at Fleetwood Park in Surrey, gave up a bronze medal to help an injured girl.

Deidre Wilson of Duncan had slipped and fallen into a gully, badly spraining her ankle.

Nicholson, 11. of Duncan, came to her assistance. When he realized the severity of her injury, he ran back to the St. John's first-aid post for help.

"Be lost at least 10 minutes, "said Craig Brooks, chairman of orienteering.

Nicholson finished just over four minutes out of third place.

'Me took it in stride as part of the sport," Brooks said. 'He knows he did the right thing.'

In orienteering, anyone who deliberately runs past an injured person can be disqualified.

C 0 F DROPS 1. National Team member. Ross Burnett has recently taken up a new position as a sport consultant with the Yukon Sport Department in Whitehorse. Ross will be responsible for 4 sports. Best wishes and lots of success.

2. News from Newfoundland. Four out-standing junior orienteers all recently left home to attend schools in various parts of Canada and Norway. Sonya Skinner (COC D19-20 champion) went to Ottawa where she is entering her 3rd year at Carleton University. Younger sisters, Allison (COC Champion D17-18) has gone to Victoria to attend Lester B. Pearson college. Andrea (runner up to Allison in D17-18) will attend school in Bergen, Norway. Brian May COC Cham-pion H17-18, who attended school in Norway last year is entering his 1st year at Queen's University in Kingston, Ont. We hope that these four talented New-foundland juniors get involved with the 'CP groups in their school areas.

Change in presidents: Newfoundland has a new president. Lem Mayo of Pasadena, Newfoundland and member of the Pasa-dena 0. Club, is now President of NOA. Barbara Taylor had been in the Presi-dent's chair prior to Lem taking over. Contratulations to Lem Mayo and thank you to Barbara Taylor.

3. Ontario - Change in Presidents. Due to other commitments, John Tammela, who was elected President of OOT in June has had to resign. Taking over as president is an ex 00I president, Keith French. Keith is one of the more capable and knowledgeable competitors/officials in the country and will be a fine replacement. Best wishes to Keith. We also hope that John will have sufficient tune available to continue his interest in Orienteering. 4. Ski-0 Unlikely as a Demo Sport at 1994 Winter Olympics. The orienteering world had been optimistic that Ski-0 would be included as a Demonstration Sport at the 1994 Winter Olympic Games

27

at Lillehammer ; Norway. The Norwegian '0' Federation are very supportive of the Ski-0 bid and were confident of success. It appears that both the Norwegian Olympic Committee and the International Olympic Committee have agreed that there will be no Demonstration Sports at the 1994 Games. A major factor in the decision is the cost factor.

5. First Official World Junior '0' Championships Next Year. The IOF Council has given approval for the cur-rent European Open Junior Champion-ships to come under the control of the IOF and be re-named the World Junior Orienteering Championships. The 1990 event, to be held near Goteborg, Sweden in early July will therefore be the 1st official WJOC.

6. U.S. Orienteer, Peter Gagarin, has Great Season in Major European Events. One of North America's best known and most capable orienteers, Peter Gagarin, had a super season in Europe. Peter, multi-time winner of the U.S. and North American titles, won his H40 category in the Swiss 5-Day and the French 5-Days. He also finished in the top 5 in the Swe-dish 0-Ringen, won the Norwegian 6-Days Sorlandsgalloppen, and finished 2nd in the 3-Day Norsk 0. Festival near Oslo. Peter, like good wine, improves with age. He is now beating world class Scandinavian 40+ competitors who were beating him 5 years ago.

Peter is one of the most talented and hardest working orienteers in North American history.

7. Congratulations to AOA President, Tim Cartmell, on his July wedding. The poor planning of the wedding date meant that Tim could not attend the 1989 COC; however we should see him again at the 1990 event.

TAP INTO THE SASS PEEPRE MEMORIAL FUND by Patricia de St. Croix

Can your club benefit from the Sass Peepre Memorial Fund? Does your club have young members who could attend the Sass Peepre National Junior Training Camp? Are there leadership training ses-sions in your province which young people could attend with financial assis-tance from the Sass Peepre Memorial Fund? Did you know that the fund is now associated with the Sass Peepre National Junior training Camp?

The camp is held each summer in close proximity to the Canadian 0. Champion-ships. It is open to young orienteers from across Canada. The camp adopted its name two years ago when the fund was used to support the camp.

Shortly after Professor Peepre died in 1976 a memorial fund was established. The purpose of the fund is to help young people to develop leadership and orien-teering skills in order that they might experience the type of fulfilment to which Sass dedicated much of his life. Grants have helped both adolescents and young adults - attend both national and interna-tional clinics, camps and competitions. Mapping, coaching and training experien-ces have been included.

This year a grant of $600 was given to help defray the costs of the national junior camp held in Ottawa. As well, two juniors, Ulu Unligil and Alan Beauchamp ;

who have taken major leadership roles in their highschool and club orienteering activities, received grants to help enable them to attend the International Junior Training Camp held in conjunction with the World Orienteering Championships in Skovde, Sweden.

The grants this year total $1000 which is a considerable amount from a fund of $7651 in principal on March 31, 1989. To be able to continue to support this type of leadership development your financial support is needed. In the past gifts have come from many sources including in-dividual persons, clubs and provinces. Could your club stage an annual Sass Peepre Memorial meet thereby helping to

ensure the continuation of the fund? Part of all of the proceeds could be donated. Individual donations are very welcome. The fund is under the jurisdiction of the Canadian Orienteering Federation with three trustees responsible for its man-agement. The trustees are Dr. Evelyn Bird, Jack Lee and myself, Pat de st. Croix. Requests for application forms and all donations are made through the national office of the Canadian Orienteer-ing Federation in Ottawa.

POST OLYMPIC & DUBIN INQUIRY FALLOUT

AFFECTS SPORT FUNDING

All National Sport Federations received cuts in financial support from Sport Canada for the current fiscal year. Although the Government contributions are negotiated each year, it is very likely that the cuts will remain in effect for the next four years with the likeli-hood of more additional cuts rather than increases.

Major reasons for the cuts are: 1) Sport Canada received a cut in their funds from Treasury Board and in turn laid off the cuts to the Sports Federations. 2) Sport Canada had received additional funds during the 4 years leading to the Calgary Winter Olympic Games. The addi-tional funds were eliminated after the Games. If the Toronto bid to host the 1996 Olympics is successful, then per-haps additional funds will be directed toward Sport Federations. 3) The Dubin Inquiry budget is in the neighbourhood of $4,000,000; this amount will be paid from the Fitness and Amateur Sport budget. Therefore, the original 7% bud-get cut that F & AS received was im-pacted by another S4,000,000 expense.

Every National Federation received the 7% cut. Additional cuts of from 0% to 14% were levied against sports using the Sport Canada Recognition Table to deter-mine the percentage of cut that a federa-tion would received.

The Sport Recognition Table evaluates federations based upon: a) number of members - four divisions 1, 2, 3, 4; each division awards a point value of 1, 2, 3, or 4. b) High Performance results at Olympic, Commonwealth, Pan American and World Championships. Again, there are four divisions 1, 2, 3, & 4 with points being awarded based upon top 3 placing (category 4) 4-8 placings (cate-gory 3); no one in top 16 or team in top 8 (category 1). Points from both categor-ies are combined to give totals 1 - 8.

Essentially, it is a fair system. The federations with the most members and the federations achieving the best results receive the most funding, or the smal-lest cuts. Based upon good performance at the Seoul Olympic Games (Carolyn Waldo & Michelle Cameron ) Synchro Swim-ming would be placed in the top category for performance and receive 4 points. Their membership base earned them 2 more for a total of 6. Orienteering, on the other hand, earned "0" points for High Performance and "1" for number of members. in the previous 4 year period (1984-88) we had received 2 points for High Performance based upon Ted de St. Croix and Denise DeMonte's fine perfor-mances at the 1985 WOC.

The lower number of total points dropped COF into a lower funding category which affects all of our programs - Office Ad-ministration, Salaries, Board of Directors & AGM Meeting Expenses, Canadian Championships, Officials Program, Na-tional Team. Each of these categories is now receiving a lesser base of funding. This can only be increased through a significant increase in number of mem-bers or greatly improved results in the next World Championships.

in the meantime, the reduced level of funding affects every member of the COP. The Board of Directors and the delegates attending the 1989 Annual Meeting have some serious decisions to make. Reduced Government funding means either increases in membership fees or a decrease in services offered. in particular, the future of Orienteering Canada ie. the number of issues, format, etc. will be one of the major items. Orienteering Canada is the single biggest expense item in the COF operating bud-get and will play a major role in the preparation of the 1990 COF Operating Budget, Membership Fee Structure, COC levies.
