hampions in Huntington !!<br><br>Kiraly/Johnson
& Arce/Fontana Win Inaugural Oldsmobile Alero Beach
Volleyball Series <br><br>HUNTINGTON BEACH, CALIF. - Karch
Kiraly and Adam Johnson won their 11th pro title
together while Lisa Arce and Barbra Fontana were winning
their first championship as the four-day, $200,000
Oldsmobile Alero Beach Volleyball Series here Sunday (May
16). <br><br>Seeded second in the men's competition,
Kiraly and Johnson won their first event in their last
five tournaments together at The Pier by downing
third-seeded Carl Henkel and Kevin Wong 15-9 in a 35-minute,
32-sideout title match. Kiraly and Johnson led from the
start to split the $20,000 first-place prize while
Henkel and Wong shared $14,000 for their best finish
together. <br><br>Saturday's play was also highlighted by
the early elimination of two of the top four seeded
men's teams. Top-seeded Bill Boulliane and Ian Clark,
who won the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour event in
Mexico, won only one of three matches Saturday. The pair
finished ninth after dropping a 15-5 elimination match to
11th-seeded Dax Holdren and Todd Rogers.<br><br>Keep it up

his morning, I ran into Beef and I told him
about Uncle Nick's club made in his honor here on
Yahoo! Beef is extremely excited and flattered! I wish I
had told him about the address of it, but knowing
Beef, I'm sure he'll find it.<br><br>Also, I told Beef
that Mike Cole (of BEACHMANIA) used one of the
questions from the fan letter of mine that Beef replied to
in BEACHMANIA's newsletter. Beef was indeed
overjoyed to know this as well.<br><br>Later!<br>JC

br><br>I watched every one of Beef and Ian's matches in
Acapulco. From the start, it<br>was easy to see they had a
chance of winning the Gold, but the
international<br>competition was not going to make it easy. Brazil, after all,
has dominated the<br>FIVB tour for quite a while now.
And there are many high-caliber teams from<br>several
countries on the FIVB tour who have the potential of
winning the<br>upcoming Toronto FIVB Tournament.
<br><br>But Beef and Ian are great!!! Bill and Ian - Thank
you for winning the<br>Acapulco FIVB Tournament for
yourselves, your fans, and for the United<br>States.

<br>ACAPULCO, MEXICO (April 10, 1999) - The teams of
Martin/Paul Laciga from Switzerland and Ian Clark and Bill
Boullianne from the United States were the first men's beach
volleyball tandems to earn a spot in the semi-finals here
Saturday in the Mexican Open <br><br>The eighth-seeded
Lacigas scored their second-straight upset win Saturday
afternoon by downing fourth-seeded ZeMarco de Melo and
Ricardo Santos 15-7 to earn the first spot in Sunday's
semi-finals on the beach at Playa Tamarindos. The Swiss
brothers had earlier Saturday upset top-seeded Emanuel
Scheffer and Jose Loiola of Brazil 15-13. <br><br>The
14th-seeded Ian Clark and Boullianne upset 12th-seeded
Mexican tandem of Joel Sotelo/Juan Ibarra 15-11 before
advancing to the semi-finals with a 16-14 win over
23rd-seeded Sinjin Smith/Rob Heidger, who had scored an
earlier 15-5 upset decision over second-seeded Karch
Kiraly and Adam Johnson in a meeting of United States
rivals in the winner's bracket third-round. <br><br>The
Lacigas have now advanced to their ninth FIVB Beach
Volleyball World Tour "final four" as the pair has two event
titles to their credit with their last Gold medal being
in Argentina at the start of the 1998 season. Ian
Clark and Boullianne advanced to their fourth "final
four" in eight FIVB starts together with two thirds
last season. <br><br>Both teams are rebounding from
disappointing efforts in the 1999 season opening in mid-January
in Argentina where the Lacigas tied for ninth while
Ian Clark and Boullianne tied for 17th. <br><br>In
one of Saturday's more exciting matches, the Mexican
tandem of Joel Sotelo/Juan Ibarra posted their country's
best-ever performance on the men's FIVB Beach Volleyball
World Tour by being guaranteed at least a seventh-place
finish. <br><br>Ranked 51st on the FIVB's world standings
entering the Mexican Open, Stoleo and Ibarra dropped a
15-11 decision to Ian Clark and Boullianne in their
first match Saturday before rebounding from a 12-8
deficit to defeat seventh-seeded Dain Blanton and Kent
Steffes of the United States 16-14 in a 52-minute match.
The pair must now win two matches, including a
meeting with second-seeded Karch Kiraly and Adam Johnson
later Saturday, to advance to the semi-finals..
<br><br>The five-day two-person beach volleyball event
started Wednesday with 53 men's teams attempting to
qualify for the Main Draw in the $340,000 Mexican Open,
the first of three combined tournaments with women on
the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour this season. The
Mexican Open concludes Sunday with the semi-finals and
championship matches starting at 10 a.m. Both Gold Medal

Boullianne first appeared in late 1996 in Volleyball

but<br>it is still relevant today.Maybe we can ask Ian
or<br>Beef to comment on how it was exactly that these two
finally hooked up together?In any event they<br>have been
wildly successful especially<br>in 1998 on both the AVP
& FIVB tours and we all can look forward to more
great finishes in 1999!!!<br>Enjoy the interview

hile I was awaiting my turn to receive Kent
Steffes' autograph, at the first Hermosa Beach event (aka
Manhattan Beach), Kent was talking to a friend of his. This
friend was showing him pictures from some previous
A.V.P. events. As I got closer, Kent offerred to share
the pictures with me since he remembered my face from
Capo Beach when he used to play with Karch Kiraly. I
recall Kent saying," Would you like to see some pretty
funny pictures of Beef?" <br><br>Of course, I said yes.
Kent held up this totally embarrassing photo of Beef
in THE weirdest outfit. Beef was wearing this
goggles and swimming fins. Overall, it was quite funny.
Kent let out a huge laugh as he showed it to other
fans as well. <br><br>There's more to come from me in
the future as I shall share with you my letter from
Beef. It's the funniest one so far in my collection.

IMAN_FAN<br>(N/A/M/Down Da Shore) Dec 25 1998<br>2:01AM EST <br>THE NIGHT
BEFORE CHRISTMAS<br>(A VISIT FROM ST. NICHOLAS)<br>by
Clement Clarke Moore<br><br><br><br><br>'Twas the night
before Christmas, when all through the house <br>Not a
creature was stirring, not even a mouse; <br>The stockings
were hung by the chimney with care, <br>In hopes that
St. Nicholas soon would be there; <br>The children
were nestled all snug in their beds, <br>While visions
of sugar-plums danced in their heads; <br>And mamma
in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap, <br>Had just
settled down for a long winter's nap. <br>When out on the
lawn there arose such a clatter, <br>I sprang from the
bed to see what was the matter. <br>Away to the
window I flew like a flash, <br>Tore open the shutters
and threw up the sash. <br>The moon on the breast of
the new-fallen snow <br>Gave the lustre of mid-day to
objects below, <br>When, what to my wondering eyes should
appear, <br>But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny
reindeer, <br>With a little old driver, so lively and
quick, <br>I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
<br><br>More rapid than eagles his coursers they came, <br>And
he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;
<br>"Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
<br>On, Comet! on Cupid! on, Donder and Blitzen! <br>To
the top of the porch! to the top of the wall! <br>Now
dash away! dash away! dash away all!" <br>As dry
leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, <br>When they
meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky, <br>So up to
the house-top the coursers they flew, <br>With the
sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too. <br><br>And
then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof <br>The
prancing and pawing of each little hoof. <br>As I drew in
my hand, and was turning around, <br>Down the
chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound. <br><br>He was
dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot, <br>And
his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;
<br>A bundle of toys he had flung on his back, <br>And
he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.
<br>His eyes -- how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
<br>His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
<br>His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
<br>And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow;
<br>The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
<br>And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath;
<br>He had a broad face and a little round belly,
<br>That shook, when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly.
<br><br>He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
<br>And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;
<br>A wink of his eye and a twist of his head, <br>Soon
gave me to know I had nothing to dread; <br>He spoke
not a word, but went straight to his work, <br>And
filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,
<br>And laying his finger aside of his nose, <br>And
giving a nod, up the chimney he rose; <br>He sprang to
his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, <br>And away
they all flew like the down of a thistle. <br>But I
heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
<br>"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a
good-night."<br><br>MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF THE MEMBERS OF THIS
CLUB<br>AND TO ALL FANS OF THE AVP AND VOLLEYBALL FANS
IN<br>GENERAL EVERYWHERE AND THE HAPPIEST OF NEW
YEARS!!<br><br>UNCLE Nicholas <br> <br>
