Over The Edge Page 6 NEws February 24, 1998 The Ilcewoman Cometh By Jeremy Fung and Nicole Larson On Sunday February 15th, the annual Iceman multi- sporting event took place for the 11th year in a row. This grueling event is composed of an 8km cross-country ski, at Otway Ski Trails, followed by a 10km run to the Multi- Plex where the competitors skate a total of 30 laps (3km) around the rink. From the Multi-Plex competitors run to Four Season’s Pool which is 5km away and once there swim 800m. This year 424 people took part in the Iceman, which is 40 more than last year and the largest turn out ever for this event. Next year the event could become even larger, but too many more competitors would force the need for a second skating venue to avoid over crowd- ing. Registration occurred in 12 different categories, six of these categories were for teams and six for individual competitors. The categories were grouped based on age and sex. For UNBC Forestry Professor, and Iceman chair- person Kathy Lewis, the sun shone brightly on her fifth win in the Women’s Individual Open. She completed this year’s competition with a record breaking time of 2:04:15. The competition was fierce in this category, which is open to all women under 40, but for the fifth year in a row she completed the event in first place. With a record breaking time in her fifth year it is not probable that this Icewoman will be dethroned in the near future. What in the tarnation are my four PIRG bucks supporting? By Erin Kendall and Jenny Biem (PGPIRG) Well, besides all of the action groups mentioned in the last Over The Edge, (i.e. Men Against Patriarchy, Organic Food Group, MAI Action group, Composting, the Indigenous 2 000 Website, and the brand spankin new Eco-Discussion group), your four bucks are supporting the alternative resource library in PIRG. Our (your) collection of books, magazines, newspapers, audio and visual tapes, info files and more is an invalu- able source of information for research papers and/or activist work. The resources found in the library are rese- vant to all kinds of social jus- tice and environmental issues, and we try to keep only those publications not easily found elsewhere in Prince George. Topics include but are not limited to; AIDS, recycling, midwifery, indigenous peoples, labour, political activism, environ- ment, racism, people with disabilities, media, african heritage, economics, sexuali- ty, militarism, and women. KORNERED ON KAMPUS By Kristina Redlon, Photos by Teryn De Smet ’ Since this is the month of everyone's favorite (or most dreaded ) holiday, Valentine’s Day, | decided the victims of this month should have to Patrick Dumont First Year Forestry. “Well, what do you want to know? We went out to dinner, she put on some lingere and we had sex.” recount memories of Valentine’s past. My personal fave (because you have to be willing to answer what you ‘ask of others) was the Anti- Richard Shipley First Year Forestry. “In grade school when everyone got those little Valentine’s cards the girl | liked gave me one.” We are always looking to build our library, and student contributions are valuable. _ For instance, if you write a really great paper on the social or environmental effects of dams or mines or free trade agreements, please bring them in as they can help the next person looking for that infomation. If you don’t feel comfortable donating written work, even leaving bibliographies is great! Suggestions for the library are always welcome, just drop by the office and let Valentine’s Day spent with my best bud _ watching “Thelma and Louise’, and griping about the pig-dog’s (a.k.a. men) of the world, and ‘ : a 3 ‘ = i Ps Tracy Thornton Graduate Student, Natural Resources. “| got a heart shaped pizza, and it came without the sender.” us know what you think we need, or email to pgpirg@unbc.ca. A helpful hint: Jenny (the office coordinator) is another great source of info and can point you in the right direction if our (your) in-house library is missing that special some- thing that you need. Given the limited amount of space, things can get quite crowded in 7-234, but please take the time to explore the wealth of resources that you have helped to provide. WARNING: you just might how they had failed to miss our charm. Well, now on to people who have happier memories (not to mention lives) and their answers to Korina Jodoin Undefined Undergraduate, International Studies. “It’s about to happen in two days.” learn something. . . The Eco-Discussion Group will be meeting on Wednesdays at 12:30. This is a group for folks who would like to discuss environmental issues and environmental action and find out where we stand on it all. If you are inter- ested in coming but can’t make the meeting time, stop by the office with a list of times that would work for you and we'll try to accommodate ya! the question “What was the best Valentine’s Day you've ever had?” Daniel Stevens _Second Year Forestry. “Running naked down a tropical beach.”
