FROM THE BCA OFFICE
Willi Krause, 1909-2008
KRAUSE Willi 1909 - 2008 passed away on February 10, 2008 at 98 years
of age. A long-time, prominent resident of Trail, BC and a renowned track
and field coach, he spent his last years at the German Canadian Care Home
in Vancouver. Willi was predeceased by his wife Eva in 2005, also a former
resident of the same care home and by his siblings in Germany, Lucy,
Kaethe and Kurt. He is survived by his daughter Christa Farenholt (Alf),
his son Axel Krause (Anita), grandchildren Maury Farenholtz (Karen), Aubry
Farenholtz (Kathy), Bronwyn Krause, Jason Leane, Oksana and Galya Krause
and great-grandchildren Joshua and Neisha Farenholtz. Willi was born in
Pasewalk, Germany the oldest of four children of Hedwig and Franz Krause.
He immigrated to Canada in 1958, followed by his wife and children in
1959, where he took up residence in Trail. While working in the community
at various jobs, his passion was coaching talented track and field
athletes in this West Kootenay city. Under his coaching his athletes
became well known on provincial, national and Olympic levels. Willi's
contributions in this area, including his efforts in having a field-house
constructed in Trail, have been recognized by the City of Trail through a
Citizen-of-the-Year award as well as granting him status of
Freeman-of-the-City. On a provincial scale, he was inducted into the BC
Sports Hall-of-Fame in June 1982. He received wide recognition from many
organizations and all levels of Government including the Golden Jubilee
Medal on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of Her Majesty Queen
Elizabeth II. It is indeed a tribute to Willi that he dedicated 60 years
of his life to the sport of track and field in both Germany and Canada.
Following his productive years in the Trail community, where he also
enjoyed beekeeping, gardening and renovating his home, he and Eva moved to
the German/Canadian Care Home in Vancouver in June 2000. The family would
like to offer a special thank-you to the staff of the home who made
Willi's final days as comfortable as possible. A celebration of Willi's
life and interment of his ashes will be held in Trail this coming Spring.
A subsequent notice of the venue will be published at a later date.
Published in the Vancouver Sun and/or The Province on 2/16/2008.

Canadian Olympic Committee Calls for Applications for the 2008 Carol
Anne Letheren Leadership and Sport Scholarship
VANCOUVER, February 19, 2008 – The Canadian Olympic Committee (COC)
is now accepting applications for the 2008 Carol Anne Letheren Leadership
and Sport Scholarship.
The scholarship is a national, three-year, $1,500 per year, university
award presented to one outstanding female high school graduate. The award
is named in honour of the late Carol Anne Letheren (1942-2001), former
chief executive officer of the COC.
The Carol Anne Letheren Leadership and Sport Scholarship is given to a
female student (Canadian citizen or permanent resident) presently enrolled
at a Canadian high school or CEGEP (private or public) in her graduating
year and applying to a Canadian university or college in business, sport
management, marketing, physical education or related fields. In addition
to demonstrating qualities and personal values that personify the Olympic
values, the eligible candidate will have a minimum grade average of 85% in
her final year of high school. She will also be an accomplished athlete in
high school, community or provincial level competitive sport(s). Please
note that athletes competing at the national level (junior and senior)
will be given preference.
The COC administers the scholarship with the support of the Carol Anne
Letheren Foundation (CALF). CALF is the founding body of the scholarship
and is composed of close friends and colleagues of Letheren who are
committed to raising funds to ensure that more young women are able to
follow in Letheren’s footsteps to pursue leadership roles in business
and the sport community.
As CEO of the COC and member of the International Olympic Committee,
Letheren was an avid promoter of the Olympic values. Her passion for sport
and experience spanned more than four decades and included the following
high-profile roles: COC president, director of Toronto’s 2008 Olympic
bid, international gymnastics official and Chef de Mission for the Seoul
1988 Olympic Games. In many of these roles, Letheren was either the first
woman or first Canadian woman to hold the position, distinguishing her as
one of Canada's most prominent women involved with high performance sport.
To learn more on how to apply please visit www.olympic.ca/EN/funding/letheren_award.shtml.
Applications must be received at the COC Vancouver office by mail by 5:00
p.m. PST, April 11, 2008. Selections will be made shortly thereafter and
the successful candidate(s) will be notified by May 23, 2008.

National team head coach Les Gramantik comments on the quality of the

athletics season is the World Indoor Championships. Athletics Canada has
selected a small but very competitive group of athletes who included the
World Indoors as part of their Olympic preparation.” Gramantik adds, “The
meet is a highly contested international affair made for TV. I am looking
forward to see our athletes compete well, and gain valuable experience
which will help them as they strive for Beijing.”

2008 BC SUMMER GAMES ~ ZONE 6
Once again this is a BC Summer Games year! Tom Dingle is the Zone 6
Representative and will post information about the zone trials on the
pentrack.org website. The travel arrangements for the Games have changed
this year and all athletes must be accompanied on the buses! This means
that we will need coaches and/or chaperones from the major centres on the
island and athletes will have to get to those centres on their own. So if
we only select our zone coaches from Powell River, all athletes will have
to travel to Powell River to be picked up for the Games. Ideally it would
be great to have coaches/chaperones from Comox/Campbell River, Nanaimo/Duncan
and Victoria/Sidney. We also must have a fully certified Level 2 coach
serving as our head coach. If you or someone in your club is interested in
joining the Games team, let Tom Dingle know. The final decision will be
made at the end of the Games Trials which will be held at the Garrioch
Meet in Duncan on June 7th and 8th.

AT&T Austin Marathon International Team Challenge
BC’s Todd Howard and Suzanne Evans helped Team Canada to 3rd place in
the International Team Challenge component of the AT&T Austin Marathon
on February 17. On what was described as a scenic but really hilly course,
Todd Howard from Victoria ran a 2 minute PR, finishing 8th overall in
2:25:43.5. Suzanne Evans from New Westminster was only a minute outside
her best, finishing 4th female in 2:46:13.8. The team challenge was won by
Team USA, with Team Kenya second. Nicole Stevenson from Toronto was Canada’s
third scorer, finishing 3rd female in 2:44:45.4.
Road Race Measurement Seminar
Paul Adams is an IAAF/AIMS Grade “A” Measurer, and has been
measuring road races in BC since 1996. He really enjoys measuring road
races as it gets him out on his bike, connects him with the running
community and allows him to give something back to the sport he loves so
much. However, he has reached a point where he does not have the desire or
the time to measure all the races that he is asked to measure.
Unfortunately there are very few active measurers in BC and unless we can
identify and train new measurers, race organizers will be unable to find a
measurer willing to measure their race for certification.
Paul is prepared to put on a seminar this spring if there are some
people interested in taking on this fun and worthwhile challenge. If
anyone is interested please let Paul know at ptbadams@gmail.com.
He will collect the names of those interested and hopefully will be able
to arrange a time that is suitable for all.
