Naomi Nari Nam and Themistocles Leftheris


Naomi Nari Nam and Themistocles Leftheris
3rd place 2007 U.S. National Championship
6th place 2007 Four Continents Championship
After attending a public session with her family at 5 years old, Naomi
fell in love with the sport of figure skating. Coached by John Nicks,
Jenni Meno and Todd Sand, Naomi competed as a singles skater for 13
years on the U.S. national team as a juvenile, novice, junior and senior.
Her career highlights include her U.S. National Championships on the
juvenile and novice levels. She also won the silver medal at the 1999
U.S. National Championships as a senior. Naomi switched to pairs
skating in spring 2005 to skate with Themistocles Leftheris. In addition to
skating pairs, Naomi coaches figure skating at the EastWest Ice Palace in
Artesia, California. Naomi is also a student at Saddleback Community
College and away from the rink and classroom, Naomi enjoys knitting,
scrapbooking, dancing, attending concerts, hanging out with her friends
and roommates.
Themistocles (Themi) started skating after watching the 1994 Winter
Olympics on television when he was 11 years old. He skated singles
before focusing on pairs skating. His former partners include Melissa
Ralph, Sarah Jo Damron-Brown, Jaqueline Jimenez, Nicole Hartunian
and Julian Burns. He says the highlight of his pairs’ career is teaming up
with Naomi Nari Nam. The highlight of his singles’ career is medaling
at the Middle Atlantic Regional Championships after taking four years
off from singles skating. In addition to skating pairs, Themi coaches at
EastWest Ice Palace in Artesia, California. He is currently working on his
communications degree at Long Beach Community College. Away from
the ice and classroom, Themi enjoys “any physical activity.”
Naomi and Themi had their first tryout in April 2005, two weeks after
Naomi switched from singles to pairs skating. “I was really quite nervous
during our first tryout. Because I had heard many great things about
Themi, I wanted to skate well so he would want to skate with me,” Naomi
said. After becoming partners that month, Naomi decided to leave her
coaches of 10 years, to skate with Peter Oppegard, who coached Themi.
Naomi and Themi train at EastWest Ice Palace in Artesia, California.

by Heather Nichols for several years. He will attend BOSS and Sinclair
Community College online this next school year. He is an intermediate
men’s competitor both individually and in pairs in USFSA.
Stefanie, 12, is home schooled using a virtual public school called
Ohio Connections Academy. Her favorite subject is science and her
hobbies include her friends, the telephone, and computer games. She
has been skating since age 3 starting at the Pekin Arena and switching to
Owens Center. She was coached by both Heather Nichols and Shawna
Ludy. She is a juvenile competitor and an intermediate pair competitor in
USFSA.

pairs together for 1-1/2 years.

Owens Center Volunteer of the Year Award
and
Bardezbanian-Olson Award
An important part of creating new programs and facilities
is recalling the successes and inevitable disappointments of
the past, to use them as a guide into the future. Today’s
success at Owens Center would not be possible without
the significant contributions several important people have
made to Owens and to skating through the years.
Named for Rhodell E. Owens, former director of the Peoria
Park District for 37 years, Owens Center was dedicated on
October 4, 1980. Rhodell’s determination and leadership,
along with the vision of the Park Board of Trustees, helped
bring not only an ice rink, but a truly first class facility to
Peoria. Owens is one of only a few ice rinks in downstate
Illinois that boasts two full size ice surfaces.
Each year the Owens Center Volunteer of the Year award
honors extraordinary volunteer efforts in support of figure
skating programs. The 2007 Owens Center Volunteer of
the year is Joe Spears.
The success of hockey in Peoria, a huge part of Owens
programming, can be attributed to two men: Pete Bardezbanian
and Mark Olson. Each year the Bardezbanian-Olson award
is given for outstanding volunteer efforts in support of youth
hockey programs at Owens Center. The 2007 recipient of
the Bardezbanian-Olson award is Darwin McPherson.
For all their exceptional
efforts and determination,
we say “thank you”.


Peoria Pizazz would
like to thank the skaters
and parents for another
great year!
Hope to see you in the fall.

Summer Camp
at the RiverPlex–
We’ve Thought of It All!
• Weather Concerns: When the weather’s hot, campers
will enjoy swimming in the AquaPlex or playing in the
18,000 square foot, air-conditioned arena. When it’s
not, we’ll be outside enjoying all the area has to offer.
• The “Boredom Factor”: Campers will learn new
activities each week and go on exciting field trips. From
teambuilding and fitness to fine arts and science, the
RiverPlex makes learning fun!
• Convenience: Don’t drive your child to camp and then
to swimming lessons! Campers may participate in
AquaPlex swim lessons during camp hours (additional
fee applies).
• Timing: Sign up for the whole summer OR pick only the
weeks you need. Camp runs for 12 weeks beginning
May 29–that’s a week earlier than most camps!
• Parents’ Schedules: Camp runs Monday-Friday, 9:00
am-5:00 pm, but Extended Care is available from 7:30-
9:00 am and 5:00-5:30 pm for an additional $18/week.
• Your Wallet: A full week of camp is just $100 for
RiverPlex members, $105 for residents and $110 for
nonresidents. What’s more, there will be no additional
fees for field trips.
Get a quality camp experience for your
5-12 year old at a place you know & trust!
