— Big plans
for Moore

VANCOUVER (CP) — The world champion women's
curling rink skipped by Linda Moore has big plans to keep
curling — as long as it can keep Moore from getting

nt.
That's the joke among the four Vancouer women who
last weekend won the world championship in Sweden.
Moore, the steel-nerved skip of their squad, must be
around next year, they say, to go for it all again.
Not only does Moore shoot 19-kilogram granite rocks
with incredible precision but, as long as she remains skip,
the new rules say, the team will get an automatic berth in
next year’s Canadian championships.
The women claim they aren't obsessed with curling,
but everything they say suggests they are very close,
None have children and they don't think would be
world champs if they did. In the 30-game win streak that
took them to the world championships, they were away
from their homes and jobs for weeks on end.
Of the three who are married — Moore, Lindsay
Sparkes and Laurie Carney — two have husbands who
are equally devoted to curling. The fourth, Debbie Jones,
has an understanding employer.

BAD JOKES

But they say they get a lot of tired remarks such as,
“you like to sweep the ice, but not the house.”
They have proved able to survive a radical restruc-
turing of their team — one that all admit probably made
the difference in winning the final.
Sparkes, the team veteran who still says she feels
sad about failing to skip Canada’s women's team to
vietory at th world championships in 1979, gave up her
skip position this year.
Because the skip is the last shooter for the team
during each end, her throws are more crucial. Sparkes
said she dropped out because she thought “she was
beginning to lose her nerve.”
On the other hand, Moore says: “A lot of people say
I'm very cool on the ice. I think because I'm a per-

the pi helps me
The team works, they say, partly because of their
per ities — Moore's perfectioni: Sparkes’s exper-

ience, Jones's humor and Carney’s calmness.
Sparkes, who skipped two teams to Canadian cham-
pionships, claims she has “no natural talent.”
“Anything I've ever accomplished has been done
through hard work and determination. Practice. Practice.
Practice.”
Sparkes, 34, teaches elementary school and says she
has no plans to have children. Her curling ace husband,
Bernie, 44, works as a sales representative.
Asked whether she prepares meals for Bernie before
she leaves for tournaments, Lindsay asks, “Are you
kidding?”
ADDS HUMOR

Unlike the others, Jones isn't married, wasn't raised
in North Vancouver, hasn't been a teacher and doesn't
have a first name that begins with the letter L.
She is appreciated by the team for her humor.
Moore said Jones's wisecracks often break the
tightness of a hot game.

“['m very intense about it when I play, but I don't
live-or die curling,” Jones said. ~ -
Carney's husband, Tom, 36, immediately flew to
Winnipeg when he heard Laurie was feeling down after
spraining her ankle during the recent Canadian

“Td like to think I'm one of her best supporters,” said
Tom, the only team husband who doesn’t curl at a highly
competitive level. “I guess I'm also a little envious. I'd
like to be the best in the world at something.”
Carney, 28, a member of a family of serious curlers,
teaches elementary school full-time.

Exchanging
countries
and ideas

Kar! Parmann, son of Gunnar and Cecilia Parmann a
senior student from Bergen, Norway, is on a year’s visit
to Castlegar.

Chris Bullock, son of Elmer and Virginia Pellerin, a
senior student from Castlegar is on a year’s visit to
Bergen, Norway.

Apart from the obvious, the single most important
thing that the two lads have in common is the fact that
they, and several thousand other young men and women
like them are participants in the International Rotary
Student Exchange Program — a part of the Rotary effort
to promote peace and international understanding.

It takes considerable courage and determination for
anyone, and particularly for a young person, to leave
family, friends and familiar homeland to go thousands of
miles to another country where customs and often
language are considerably different from one's own.

Nonetheless, thousands of young people across the
world, sponsored by their home-town Rotary clubs make
this leap into the dark each year. Moreover, they are
expected to act as ambassadors of good will for their own
countries and as public relations officers in the host
country, learning the language, addressing host Rotary
clubs and other adult groups, attending school in the host
country and addressing classes there and living with
several host families as a member of those families.

The result has been a small but significant deepening
of understanding between members of different cultures
and nati ities, a superb i experience for the
participants, and the creation of some life-long
international friendships among the students and their
families.

Over the past three years Castlegar in its turn has
had Rotary student exchanges between Brazil, New
Zealand, Mexico, Norway and Japan.

Since Carl and Chris are among the more recent, and
ongoing exchangees, we thought it only fair that the host
country, Castlegar, should know a little more about them.

A letter from Chris writing from Bergen to the
Castlegar Rotary club starts off: “I have enjoyed a very
busy fall in Norway and am looking forward to this winter
and spring.”

Since Bergen is his host city, he then proceeds to put
us into the picture, and continues:

“Bergen is an old city on the west coast of Norway,
with many fjords and surrounding mountains. It is the
second largest city in Norway and the climate is unique
for a city so far north (north latitude). This is due to the
warming effect of the Gulf Stream which gives Bergen a
climate similar to that of Vancouver (mild and wet).

“This year has been unusual, though, dry and very
warm, with the coldest temperature so far being five
degrees centigrade. I hope we get some snow before
Christmas as I hope to do a lot of skiing this winter.
(Meanwhile) I am attending the oldest school in
Norway — Bergen's Katedraskole from which came many
of Norways most famous musicians and scholars.

John Charters... -

Reflections
& recollections

“In fact,” he “last week d the
400th birthdate anniversary of the famous playwright
Ludwig Holberg and King Olav himself came to
Katedralskole for the occasion.

“In school I am concentrating on learning Norwegian
and in fact speak quite a lot of Norwegian now although I
don't always understand everything that is said. The
trouble is that almost everybody in Norway can speak
English and they love the opportunity to practice using it
on me. This makes it very difficult for me to learn to
speak Norwegian.

“I have just moved to my second family. My first
family was very nice and made it easy for me to adapt to
the Norwegian way of life. Hans Urdahl, my ‘father’ is the
manager of the biggest company in west Norway, so he is
very busy.

“My ‘mother’ Bitten, made me feel at home as soon as
I arrived in Norway. They have four children and their
daughter, Beate, was an exchange student in Onofino,
Idaho last year so that she could help me a lot.

“My second family is also very nice. Both my
‘parents’ work in their furniture and flower shops. Their
son, Jen, is one of the best downhill racers in Norway and
we get along very well together. Paal, my older ‘brother,’
is doing his military service, while Kristine is travelling
the world learning how to be a tour guide and studying
tourism.

“I have been very busy ever since I arrived here and

” this has pr me from ing ick. I am an

active member in the local orienteering clubs, although I
haven't had much success here in Norway. I also have
some friends who sail, so earlier in the fall I did quite a lot
of windsurfing and ‘sailing in bigger boats. Also the
mountains around Bergen are easily accessible so that I
like to go for hikes and in doing so get some very
spectacular views of Bergen and the fjords in the area.
My school also has a cabin in the mountains to which I
have gone twice. It was great fun and I made many new
friends.

“Three weeks ago I went to Tonsberg, near Oslo, and
the oldest town in Norway, to meet all the other Rotary
exchange students in Norway. It was great to learn that I
wasn't the only exchange student in the country; in fact
there were 12 A i a New 28
Americans and four other Canadians. It was lots of fun to
exchange experiences and compare our Norwegian skills.

“The Rotary is planning another meeting next spring
at Holmenkollen to welcome the Australian exchange
students. It is also organizing a 10-day, eight-country bus
tour around Europe next spring. It will cost $750 and that
includes everything except lunches and souvenirs. It is
something to look forward to.

“As you can see I am very busy gaining new
experiences and hope Julie Higgins (our Rotary
Exchange student in Japan) is enjoying her exchange as
much as I am enjoying mine. Got Jule og glad Nyttor!”

Karl, the Norwegian half of the exchange is a fair
red-blond (Viking blood, no doubt), good-looking young
man of average build and with a good command of
English. He is the second child of the four Parmannh
children.

Georg, the eldest, is doing his compulsory military
service, required of all able-bodied Norwegian males;
sister Christain is travelling and taking training to
become a travel agent — the Norwegian travel service is
both skilled and aggressive; Jan, the youngest, is in
school.

Karl came to Castlegar in August, via Oslo, New
York, Minneapolis and Seattle. It would have been easier
via the Bergen-Seattle route, he says. He is presently
registered in grade 11 at Stanley Humphries Secondary
School and taking courses in Lifetime sport, chemistry,
Social Studies, Algebra, Physical Education, Physics,
Earth Science and English.

Karl, like most of his countrymen, is an enthusiastic
skier and has been up Red Mountain with earlier Rotary
parents, John and Megan Kennedy, and Ron and Elaine
Ross. He is presently staying with Rotary ‘parents’
Quinto and Virginia Maida, while Chris Bullock is
staying with the Parmanns in Bergen.

He is also interested in squash, tennis, badminton,
wind-surfing and hiking, all, judging by his extensive
slide collection, popular Norwegian sports.

With the coming of the Easter school break he is
looking forward to a trip with Jim and Inga Lamont to
San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco and other points
of interest in California.
