Lindy Pearson tested and passed Preliminary Moves in the Field and Preliminary Freestyle on December, 11th. Lindy is coached by Brad Newman. Other Lincoln Skaters attempted to pass their levels but Lindy was given the nod from at least two out of the three judges.
Lindy Pearson started figure skating in 2005 when she was in 5th grade. In August of this year she passed her Pre-Preliminary Moves in the Field and Pre Preliminary Free Skate and in December passed the Preliminary Moves in the Field and Preliminary Free Skate. Her favorite skaters are Michelle Kwan and Sasha Cohen and her favorite jump is a Lutz. Now at age 14 she enjoys helping on Saturday morning with Learn to Skate and plans to compete for the 1st time in the 2010 Winterfest competition in Omaha in February.
Perfecting skating skills level in order to test in front of a panel of USFS judges is the ultimate goal of most skaters. It requires hours of practice and attention to the tiniest details. Most judges would agree that a skater must train beyond what they feel would be a passing score, because a skater will lose about 10% of their skill when testing. This is due to the nerves and stress of the testing.
Please congratulate Lindy next time you see her at the rink.

Don't miss out!
We are very excited to announce that the Winning Edge will be bringing the Traveling Store right into the Ice Box . This will be your chance to Christmas shop for your special skater.
On December 12th, Phil from the Winning Edge will set up his Traveling Store in the lobby of the Ice Box for your Christmas shopping. For those of you who have never shopped at the Traveling Store, Phil brings many products, such as skating dresses, gloves, soakers, skate guards, tights, and even some skates. If you need something in particular, I would suggest you e-mail the Winning Edge and ask Phil to bring it down. The e-mail address is winingedge@aol.com
Or visit the web site to look at their many products.
The website is: http://www.skatewear.com/
The following Saturday, December 19th, Phil has agreed to come back and sharpen skates. So keep that date in mind for skate sharpening.
I would also like to ask that the parents and skaters check out our own fancy “gloves “ for sale. These have stoned by a couple of very creative board members. Think of stocking stuffers when you see them.
These are reasonably priced and are going fast. Prices vary due to complexity of design and glass crystals compared to Swarovski crystals. This last Saturday I noticed the pair I was admiring showed up on one of the Learn to Skate skaters. So I missed out.
Our fundraisers have been a huge success. The wreaths have turned out to be excellent quality and will certainly be easy to market next year. Rada knife sales are brisk and we should have delivery of those soon. The Apple Toss was very successful and lots of fun. Thank you to all the Linder family, the Pearson family, the entire Adamczyk family, two of the Casper boys, and my sister for selling all those apples. See a picture of one of our top apple sellers.
Have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.
