The North West Division of the B.C. Gymnastics Associa- tion and the Terrace Peaks Gymnastics Club are sponsoring both Level I and Level I com- ponents of the National Coaching Certification Program. at the Clarence Michiel School gym Jan. 9 and 10 for Level I, and over four full days from Jan. 14 through Jan. 17 for Level Il. Course conductor for both sessions will be Ai Hill, Provincial NCCP Coordinator and senior coach of the Aviva Sports School in Port ‘Co- quitlam, Over the past decade in the North West, Level II has been offered only one other time, and this is the first. occa- sion where both “levels” of technical coaching training have been offered ‘‘back-to-back’’ to enable coaches to obtain cer- tification in a short period of time. Through participation in the clinics, even new coaches can receive both their introduction to the sport plus specific and comprehensive skills and "knowledge to assist them in working with children in the gym. ; . . - Gymnastics clubs in this - region of the province are full of talented gymnasts and eager young children, but there is an extreme shortage of qualified _-eoaches. The only formal college for coaches is in Ontario, so the NCCP clinics are essential for _ developing . coaches. Interested _adults or even young people age 16 and up can either learn from _geratch or build upon personal experience and knowledge. Parents of gymnasts, teachers and pre-school instructors, plus athletes and coaches from other sports often find the gymnastics technical clinics fun, challeng- ing, and highly informative and the clinics are open to all in- terested persons, not just those already working as coaches or affiliated with a gym club. Level 1 encourages full par- ticipation in movement activities geared primarily for young children, but fun for any age, and through the study of move- ment patterns, physical development and in- troduction of basic gymnastic skills in an enjoyable and safe environment prepares coaches, parents, or teachers to **ace tivate’? young children. Level II builds on the fundamentals for the more formal and serious aspects of advanced or ‘“‘com- petitive’? gymmastics training. - Coaches will acquire more scien- tific knowledge and develop skill “progressions” to help them meet the complex, dynamic and challenging requirements of the sport of gymnastics today. Level Il technical has recently been ex- panded .or revised to -meet the ‘ever-changing progress of the sport. CS Both clinics are presented in a modular format, and credit can be given for each module.com- pleted, so persons- unable to at- J tend full-iime should feel free to - register for the modules they can: attend at this time, Both clinics issue excellent manuals upon | payment of the registration: fee, plus additional literature and hand-outs. Registration will take place the morning of the clinic start at the school at 9.a.m, Fees have - pot been confirmed at this date, but are expected to be $35 for Level I and $75 for Level II.

Petro-Can was ‘the. lowest of. ’ five bidders for the city contract and it appeared to be a straight forward council decision until Alderman Bob Jackman sug- gested that the Terrace Co-Op appeared to have made an error in their calculations and he believed they should have the — right to correct the error before a final decision was made. Of the five tenders for: the 1988 city fuel contract, Petro- Can came out on top with a total bid of $59,028, followed by Chevron Canada . Ltd. with $61,116, Esso Petroleum Canada with $63,288, Shell Canada with $65,195 and Ter- race Co-Op with a whopping $71,376. re _ According to Jackman, it ap- peared that the Terrace Co-Op had added the provincial sales tax into the cost per litre, and then again as a separate tax before adding the two figures together. If he were correct, Jackman said that this would make'a difference of about 10 cents per litre in their calcula- tions, a difference of $12,588 which would have reduced ‘their bid by $12,588' to $58,788, $240 less than PetrosCani 6-2! Following his vassessmentiof the Co-Op bid;:fackman made'a motion to council that awarding the contract be: tabled until] the next meeting-and:in the mean- time . administration « should review the tenders. © “ty yt -Petro-Can e City Treasurer Keith Norman said he reviewed the tenders and invitation to tender the next morning and found that the city’s invitation to tender was very clear, but the. Terrace Co- Op’s submission was not. In fact, according to Norman, it wasn’t even signed. “They did a terrible job as far as I’m: concerned,’’ said Nor- man. ‘You look at tenders like a spoiled ballot, and as far as I’m ‘A new. citizenship award to recognize and honor exemplary citizenship has been announced by Federal.
