Our Alumni in the News Skating champion Karen Magnussen warns about ammonia gas leaks at ice arenas Magnussen, 65, said the deaths of three men in Fernie, British Columbia, after an ammonia leak at the local arena is a horrible tragedy and she urged communities across Canada to ensure arena cooling systems are regularly maintained and inspected. Dirk Meissner, The Canadian Press Published Saturday, October 21, 2017 7:39AM EDT Last Updated Saturday, October 21, 2017 11:57AM EDT Canadian Olympic silver medallist and former world champion figure skater Karen Magnussen can still feel the spot deep in her chest where an ammonia leak burned her lungs six years ago, leaving her disabled and unable to go back to an ice rink to teach the sport she loves. Magnussen, 65, said the deaths of three men this week in Fernie, British Columbia, after an ammonia leak at the local arena is a horrible tragedy and she urged communities across Canada to ensure arena cooling systems are regularly maintained and inspected. "We're talking about children," she said in a telephone interview from her home in Langley, B.C. "Not to mention all the people who are there watching.

  • Daphne Maxwell Reid and Other Creators Whose Work Lifts Us
    May 2020 | soulvisionmagazine.com EDITORS NOTE BK Fulton Photo by Queon “Q” Martin “. explore the little things in life and the big ones too.” Our May issue is dedicated to those who inspire. We feature Tai Babilonia, Kelcey Mawema, Rolonda Wright, Daphne Maxwell Reid and other creators whose work lifts us. We also were fortunate to spend this month with the amazing Adriana Trigiani – author, director, historian . and renaissance woman! Adriana graces our May cover because she is an example of the best of us and yet she remains as humble as her origins. Big Stone Gap, also the name of her first movie, is Adriana’s hometown where she grew up with grace and the support of her family. It was there that she explored the little things in life and the big ones too. Reading and learning were the driving forces behind her creativity. She thought she was going to be a poet until telling stories as an author became her passion. I was so moved by our interview with Adriana, that I wrote a poem in her honor (see below). Thank you, Adriana and all of our guests for this issue of SoulVision Magazine. You get a new look when you have SoulVision. 2 May 2020 | soulvisionmagazine.com BK Fulton - May 2020 (contiuned) A Light of the World Raised right and beautiful too . the world is better because of you! Keep on doing the things that you do; don’t let the naysayers say when you’re through. Make them learn as much as you teach . you are changing our nation and the world is in reach!

  • STAR 1-5 Skater's Training Tool
    STAR 1-5 Skater’s Training Tool The purpose of this training tool is to help skaters and coaches plan a successful season of skating. By planning the season, a skater can account for events, ice shows, assessments and other major landmarks throughout the season which can definitely impact a skater’s training schedule, as well as goals set for certain times of the season. How to use this tool effectively: First, review the goal setting guidelines. The worksheets that follow may be helpful to set goals for the season. Having the big picture in mind is necessary when setting monthly, weekly and daily goals. If you know where you want to be by the end of the season, it’s much easier to have a plan for each training session, each week, as well as each month. Also included in this guide is a checklist that includes all the elements found on the STAR 1-5 assessments. These can be used as daily tracking sheets to monitor training sessions and keep track of the path towards each skater’s goals. If, by the end of the set time frame, a skater has not achieved a set goal, looking back on the number of times it was practiced as well as any challenges that came up will help to shape the goals moving forward to the next month and show training areas that might need to be modified. All the worksheets are here for everyone to use, but don’t feel it necessary to use them all. Use what works best, and if goals are not being achieved, consider trying some of the other resources.

  • Skate Levels
    Skate Levels Tot 1 Pre School Beginner Who Has Never Skated Proper Way To Fall In a standing position, stretch hands and arms higher than eye- level so you can see them. (Not so high that the pupil would tent to fall backwards.) Tuck chin to keep head forward. Bend knees and continue the falling down action as you would sit on a chair. Continue gently until skater falls on one cheek (bottom, that is), keeping the hands in position and off the ice. Proper Way to Get Up Facing the instructor, get in the position of a puppy dog on hands and knees. Put one foot between hands, and then bring second foot between hands, keeping weight balanced on center of both feet. Rise, slowly, looking at the instructor, until skater is in proper standing position. Remain still for five seconds. Repeat falling and getting up two more times. Marching in Standing Position With arms in front as in holding handlebars of a bicycle, lift alternate feet three times, remain still in proper position for five seconds. Repeat for a total of three times. Marching While Moving March, counting 1, 2, 3; and then glide on two feet (feet parallel and comfortably apart but no farther out than hips). Repeat five times.

I am Sharon Donnan and I have the pleasure of interviewing Mabel Fairbanks, a figure skating legend in her own time. Q: Mabel, I thought today we would start off with some of the very basic details in the beginning of your life, and if you could just tell me about your place of birth and your childhood, and we could spend a few minutes there. A: Well, I only know what I was told. I was there but I wasn't there (Laughter) because I do not remember any of those things like some kids are smart in the womb and they can remember, but I was never that smart. (Laughter) But I was born in the Florida Everglades, and Seminole Indian grandmother and English grandfather. My father was an African. I was in the Everglades until I was about maybe 3 years old, and naturally, I don't remember anything about it. So I only know that I was born there because an older sister told me that I was. I came out and I lived with my mother and father and all of my sisters and brothers, and then I'm like Topsy, I wasn't born; I just grew.

  • 3672 Ravensburger Waltz (Diamond Dance Test)
    3672 RAVENSBURGER WALTZ (DIAMOND DANCE TEST) Music - Waltz 3/4 Tempo - 66 measures of 3 beats per minute - 198 beats per minute Pattern - Optional Duration - The time required to skate 2 sequences is 58 sec. The Ravensburger Waltz should be skated with the character of a Viennese Waltz. A strong waltz feeling is achieved by a continuous, lilting knee action accenting counts 1 and 4, and by stressing the 2 + 1 count of many of the steps. The dance begins with steps 1 to 3 of 6 beats each, in which the man and the woman alternately execute inside three turns on count 3 with the free leg being lifted, while the partner skates a 6 beat swing roll. These turns are known as “Ravensburger–type” three turns. These steps are skated in open hold for the first two beats, but in closed hold after the turn for the swing roll during beats 4, 5 and 6. On step 4 the woman turns a forward inside twizzle of 1 revolution under the man’s left arm on count 2, followed by a fast mohawk turn onto the LBI (step 5) for count 3. The partners retain closed hold during the chassé and 6 beat swing roll that follow as steps 5 to 8. The woman’s steps 10 to 13b are also turned under the man’s left arm with a transition into an open mohawk to change to Kilian hold on step 13b. The woman may move her right hand as she wishes during steps 17 and 18. A change of edge at the end of step 18 is skated by both partners.
