Reynolds is almost as unusual as his charges A scholar with several University degrees and a doctorate in ecology, the tall, bespectacled scientist is con sidered one of the world’s foremost oligochaetologists, or earthworm ex: perts. But he leads a kind of double life as an inspector with the Fredericton Police Department, where he’s into underground activities of an entirely different nature. But it’s his interest in earthworms that has brought him a measure of fame in this quiet provincial capital, home of the Great Global Earthworm races. It all started in 1982 when Reynolds and a friend, Gary Whiteford, a professor at the University of New Brunswick, were trying to think of a way to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the publication of Charles Darwin's landmark work, The Formation of Vegetable Mould Through the Action of Worms. } They _hit_on the idea of _an_earth worm race and staged it with great suc cess that summer. WINS CHAMPIONSHIP There have been two more races sin. ce then, one in}1984 and the latest on June 21, when Turbo Fred edged out Countess Etn¢Stine Underhill to win the championship on a plywood racetrack. circular Reynolds was overwhelmed by the popularity of the race, which attracted 43 competitors this year, all from the Fredericton area, and national as well as local television, radio and newspaper coverage. The actual race takes a matter of seconds. The worms start at the centre of the track and wriggle the 23- centimetres toward the perimeter. The current record is 24.3 seconds, set this year by worm Bob Tomchuk during a heat. That obliterated the old mark of 58 seconds set in 1984, Needless, to say, competitors in- cluded Ben Johnson and Carl Lewis, both dug from Fredericton gardens. Ben took an early lead in his first prompting: murmured suggestions about the nature of chemicals used in his garden — but faded in the semifinals. Lewis came fourth in the competition. race — Although the disappointed trainers of some losers threatened to turn their charges into fish bait, Reynolds is genuinely trying to foster a greater ap- preciation of earthworms and he asks that they be returned to the soil. However, he claims the winners for his stud farm BREED NEW STOCK “I have a small corner in my garden where all the winners retire. They rest up and they’re busy each year breeding new champion stock.”” It’s not certain when the next Great Global Earthworm Race will be held, but sitting back in his police depar- tment office, Reynolds’s eyes light up at the prospect of bigger and better things for the race. “I could see it as a great fun thing — all the towns and villages have their own run-off, get their local town win- ner, and then they come to Fredericton night and we have heats to decide the provincial ” one Rock in two languages hits in English and Japan Kinsmen Pa: .

Ota, Possibly, some day, even an earth- —worm Olympics— = But Reynolds doesn’t think Maritime worms would do well on the international scene. The best racers in these parts are the apprrectodea tuberculatas — better known as Canadian worms — and Reynolds says they don’t stand a chan- ce against the speedy and sleek oriental varieties found in the southern United States. It may be that Reynolds will finally be able to test his championship stock should there be an international meet. At the moment, he’s reluctant to en- ter any worms from his blue-ribbon stable because of his position as co- founder and official judge of the race. “It would be looked at, I’m sure, with a jaundiced eye by the pure racing fans,”’ Reynolds says. ‘*I mean, there’s enough scandal in sport right now — we don’t need to start another one.”” Paul and Pete Oglow point out ther route they took on a recent trip to the U.S.S.R. CosNews Photo by Jo! Roots said found By JOHN CHARTERS Forty-two people from both sides of the international border went in search last month of their ethnic, historic and spiritual roots. Four of these, Paul, Pete and Nick Oglow and Paul Moroso, came from Castlegar. While most of the party were of the Doukhobor faith, there were a variety of backgrounds including Quakers. The 25-day odessey.started by air from Calgary to Tcronto. Front there the entire party flew to Rostov on the Don in the Ukraine via Paris and Moscow. In this part of south U,S.S.R. they travelled by bus and air to a great variety of places including the early Doukhobor settlements of Slovanka and Gorelovka, and to the Bagdanovoka region where the historic burning of the arms took place, and to Milky Waters, once a large settlement, now almost deserted. several They learned and experienced a great deal during their travels, in cluding the fact that their group was only the second non-military group to visit an area in the Causasas mountains on the Turkish-Soviet border. From the last war to just recently it had been occupied by Soviet and American troops and out of bounds to civilian travellers “We found where our ancestors said Pete Oglow “‘where they used to live and where they still live Life in some cases has not changed greatly.

Imagine relaxing each part of your body, from scalp to toes, letting the tense spots work themselves out. Smile inwardly at all the cells in your body. Finally, reorient yourself gradually to the outside world. Take deep breaths, stretching until you're ready to open your eyes. Simply sit and observe yourself ob- serving yourself.
