JUCE - OTTAWA COMPETITIVE CO-ED TRAVELING TEAM

Juce is Ottawa's newest competitive co-ed traveling team. We 
practice once a week and plan on attending 3 or 4 out of 
town tournaments in our inaugural season. Juce is looking to 
round out its initial roster over the next 2 weeks. 
Positions are available for both men and women. If you're 
interested in "Jucing it up" this summer then contact Rick 
Mallon via email mallon@magma.ca. Initial tryouts will be 
this Sunday at Medhurst field (1KM east of Woodroffe on 
Medhurst Rd) at 1PM.

DATE CORRECTION NOTICE

Sorry everyone, but I had another wrong date in the Calendar 
of Events. The season start date is May 13, not May 15 
(which is when _my_ team starts) as indicated in past 
versions of Ultimate Happenings. Sorry for any confusion.

ABANDON SHIP!

Participate in world leading ship safety research in Ottawa.

Volunteers ages 18 to 50, in good physical condition, are 
required to assist in a ship evacuation study. Shipboard 
experience is an asset, but not required. Take up the 
challenge of climbing ladders, opening watertight hatches 
and doors in a tilted corridor, and contribute your valuable 
data to this research. This angled corridor simulates a 
vessel in distress - heeled over due to an accident or fire -
how well would you fare evacuating in an emergency?

All that is required is a few hours of your time 
transportation and refreshments will be provided, along with 
rewards for your participation. Testing is being conducted 
now - so contact us today to participate!
