A mini-skating-daycare service will result in either learning how to stop or a broken leg by Christmas.

After overhearing a cousin telling her daughter she wasn鈥檛 available to take her skating, Ruth Wright has begun taking youth to the rink on weekdays after school. She now has a troupe of about six children that she brings, either because their parents are too busy to go or don鈥檛 want to skate themselves.

鈥淭hey鈥檝e got these wonderful blue chairs, and they help,鈥� said Wright about her experience learning to skate again.

鈥淚鈥檓 still not letting go of the chair. I can skate. I just don鈥檛 know how to stop. All the kids out there are very encouraging, telling me how well I鈥檓 doing and this and that. They鈥檙e all trying to teach me how to stop and that鈥檚 helping a lot.鈥�

Ava Cardinal thought Wright was doing all right.

鈥淪he鈥檚 good,鈥� smiled Cardinal.

Wright has been at it for about three weeks now and plans to keep bringing youth down weekdays until Christmas.

鈥淚 thought if I don鈥檛 become slim and trim by Christmastime, at least I鈥檒l break a leg,鈥� she joked.

鈥淚 figured I might as well get into it again. Some of the kids are teasing me that I should try out for the old folks鈥� hockey. I said once I learn to stop I鈥檒l think about that.鈥�
