1 CORE SPORT FUTILITY OR FATALITY? The Core Sport concept was not conceived by concern CORE SPORTS - ENTRY LEVEL - ROAD KILLS about sport but rather by money, or lack of it. On May 19, Mr. Best released the long awaited Report. Since the mid 1980's the level of financial support to Thirty one °Core Sports' were identified to receive funding sport has decreased 5 - 1O°/ annually. Reductions plus for Administration and approved Programs. Nine 'Entry high inflation during the same period created difficult Level' sports were designated and eligible to receive some financial times for all national sport organizations. financial support for Administration but little program support. Thirteen sports were excluded and ineligible to In 1992 were advised their budget would receive government funding. Orienteering was included be reduced by a further 25% over the period 1993-1996 in this list of thirteen, subsequently dubbed 'Road Kills'. (10% in 1993 and 5% in 1994, 1995, 1996). It was decided rather than spreading a dwindling amount of The thirteen are: , Bobsled, Lacrosse, Luge, funds thinner over a large number of sports it would be Orienteering, Free-Style , Team Handball, Football, better to reduce the number of sports. This would Weightlifting, Ladies Golf, , Water Polo, maintain the level of funds to a lesser number of sports. .

The problem was to develop criteria to evaluate the Biathlon and Free-Style had not been not favoured for diverse organizations to determine which should continue inclusion as Core Sports, mainly due to low numbers of to receive funding and which should not. participants.

4 TO MAP OR NOT TO MAP The first stage is creating new orienteering maps is to icl entify suitable areas. DAVE PRENTICE (Perth Orienteers) has some pointers. (This article was published in the April/May 1994 issue of CompassSport)

If a club's wealth can be measured in maps, then it's safe • Availability of car parking for smaller events (30-50 to assume that orienteers are always on the lookout for cars) and if applicable, larger events (50-300 cars). potential new areas. Is any fee expected?

When looking at an area, a photocopy of the OS On the basis that 'exploring' new areas is a pleasant (topographical) 1:25,000 maps blown up to pastime in its own right, I'd advocate the former up to a approximately 1:10,000 is useful. Alternatively it may be 'feasibility' stage - bearing in mind one is on someone possible to obtain copies of actual 1:10,000 maps.

There are several factors then to consider, noting that Whether one person or several are involved in the some will not apply if the area is not to be used for preliminary survey, it's worth keeping a master map to larger events i.e. record all findings. Note runnability, number of control sites, type of forest, steepness of terrain.

• Ideally a variety of terrain Above all, make sure you can get good short courses out of it. The rest usually follows. • Sufficient paths/line features on easy terrain for the shorter courses This is the kind of information you will need to make a decision whether or not it's worth your while going • Scope for longer courses with challenging ahead and mapping the area. If it does look like being orienteering worthwhile, you can then see how much of the survey and drawing you can do yourselves, or if the area is too • Enjoyable terrain - ideally runnable complex, whether you can afford to call in the professionals. • An adequate number of control sites But that's another story. • Stable area - forests which aren't about to be cut down and open land which is not about to be forested

* * * SUPPORT THE CANADIAN NATIONAL SQUAD * * * Last years COC organizers included a request for support for our National Squad in the COC Information brochure. A line 'National Squad Donation' was included in the Entry Form. The amount of $328.00 was donated to the National Squad from COC competitors. The Entry forms for this years Great Lakes 0 Festival (GLOF) were printed before it was realized that a request for a National Squad Donation had been overlooked. The Great Lakes 0 Festival organizers are supportive of National Squad Donations being included with COC entries and will forward donated funds to the COF for use by the National Squads. Those wishing to make a National Squad Donation are asked to complete this form and attach to your GLOF entry. The donation can be included as part of the total Entry amount. (The GLOF organizers will send the COF an accounting and cheque for the Donations total) Thank you to the Great Lakes Orienteering Festival organizers for their support and cooperation.
