TROY, MI
- Michelle Colonna became
Michigan's first recipient of the newly created Spirit of the
Heart Award at Michigan's 2002 Award Banquet in November. The
award was created this season for non-competetive skaters who
demonstrate exceptional dedication and love for the sport in
spite of any special considerations of their own which might
prevent or discourage them from becoming active skaters.
- Michelle was born with Cerebral
Palsy and not even expected to be able to walk. But with the
love and support of a strong mother and caring grandmother, she
not only walked but became a regular participant in the Learn-to-Skate
Program at SkateWorld. She learned to skate forward, backward
and monkey jump in spite of her handicap. One year ago, she realised
that her then misformed body would not allow her to do many of
the skating maneuvers needed to get to her REAL goal of joining
the team as a competitive figure skating member. Her family took
her for special state-of-the-arts surgery which rebuilt her feet
legs and hips, aligning them and straightening them... and leaving
her in a full body cast for several months. She now does many
hours per day of physical therapy to learn to use her new limbs.
The straightening process added 3 shoe
 sizes
and about 4 inches of height. But most important to Michelle
is the possibility that she can learn to do more things on skates.
-
- Michelle, shown on the right
with fellow team members and coach (and with new skates donated
by a Skate World adult skater) , stands tall and proud to be
Skate World's newest club member. Her surgeon and physical therapist
have recently agreed to include one private skating lesson per
week (and of course Learn-to-Skate) as part of her physical therapy
program. Her lesson goal is to eventually develop the balance
needed for the #1 circle figure test.
GREAT LAKES,USA - At
many events, the tabulators must search for the USARS event list
and numbers during the meet. For those of involved in tabulating
or entering meet info, it is now possible to have the events
and codes info available right on the computer screen while entering
data and tabulating.
JoeD202902@aol.com decided to put together a little computer
program with the event list and numbers for Standard and JO.
It's small and doesn't take up much footprint on the screen so
it can be left up on the computer along with the tabulation software.
If you right-click on either list, you will see more options,
but don't mess with the source code view. If you do, you could
crash the program.
The program should run on
almost any Windows-based system from Win 95 on up. It requires
at least Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher.
Just download the program
to your favorite location (JoeD202902@aol.com
recommends putting it in the same folder as your tabulation program)
and then using the <Start> <Run> feature in Windows
(or Win Explorer) to launch it. Those of you with more savvy
can create a shortcut to your desktop after you have successfully
launched the program(that's one of the features of the right-click
on the list thing).
If you know of anyone else
who might benefit, please pass on information about this program
to them - it's FREEE! Contact JoeD202902@aol.com
for information or for a copy of the program.
Visit his Roller Figure Skating Resource Site... a
great resource for roller figure skating. You will find
even more files and other utilities that can be useful in putting
together and running roller figure skating meets.

The Riverside
Artistic Team in Livonia Michigan works to gain community
visibility for their club and their skaters. Recently Sarah Baldwin,
Junior World Class Pan Am Games Figure Champion, was featured
in the sports section of Michigan's largest news publication.
Their fundraising efforts include well-promoted casino and bowling
events held prior to Regionals open to friends, family and the
general public. If you participate in their Michigan Interclub
Meet, look at the size of the program book. It is thick and interesting
due to the corporate, business and individual ad sales efforts
of all club members. Few restaurants and businesses in Livonia,
MI haven't been touched by this club and its efforts for USA
Roller Sports.
Dean Rosko 'Official Organist'
for the
2002 Championships will has the
Volume 1 CD and the new Volume 2 CD available for purchase. The
CD's are $15.00 each and can be purchased from Dean Rosko directly
