I. Official Puck Dropping Ceremony Opens Goodyear Night at Arena Letter to the Editor The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville. December I(i. 1937 11 Instructor Stresses Fitness Benefits At the start of Goodyear night hockey game at Bowmanville Bowmanville Arena on Sunday, a special ceremonial puck dropping took place at centre ice. Taking part were Goodyear's plant manager Stan Hollingsworth and Local 189 Rubber Workers President James Colburn. Colburn. Capt. Brian Heard of the Goodyear sponsored Jr. C Eagles and Capt. Lionel Hefernan of the Trenton Trenton Golden Hawks took the faceoff. Midgets Reach Semi-Final in Fort Erie On December 4, the Midget A Toros travelled to Fort Erie to compete in a tournament. They beat Humber Valley in their first game in what was sometimes a very scrambly game. Mark Tripp got the Toros on the scoreboard 2 minutes into the game on a breakout play by Troy Harness and Rob Real. Their second goal didn't come until late in the second period when Dean Baumhauer carried the puck out of his end and relayed it to Mark Tripp. Mark passed it to Rob Real who shot it past the goaltender. Humber Valley tried to come back early in the third with their only goal of the game, but the Toros were able to hold on for a 2-1 win. The Toros faced Flamboro in a very physical game the same night, winning 6-0 with Darrin Bunker getting the shutout. Goal scores in this game were Stephen Smith, Gareth Stone, Brad Carnegie, Nick Dennis, Shane Armstrong and Dean Baumhauer. Assists went to Greg Healey (3), Shane Armstrong (2), Neil Taylor (2), Gareth Stone (2) and one to Brad Carnegie. The next day the Halminen boys played the home team. Fort Erie in another physical match-up. The first period saw each team get a goal, Bowmanville's being scored by Stephen Smith, Greg Healey and Shane Armstrong getting the assists. Fort Erie scored two in the second period but the Toros came back in the third with two to tie the game. Stepehn got his second goal of the game, assisted by Greg Healey and Shane Armstrong and Greg Healey got the tying goal assisted by Stephen. The Toros came out of their group in first place to advance to the semi-finals the next day. Sunday morning the Toros played a hungry Oshawa Black Hawk team in the semi finals. It appeared right from the drop of the puck that'the Toros just didn't want it badly enough, and when this happens hockey games are lost, as was this one, 3-2. The Toros scored one goal in each of the first two periods. Greg Goode got his early in the first period, assisted by Nick Dennis and Gareth Stone. Oshawa tied it up halfway through.:::: : that period. Bowmanville went ahead;; in the second period with a goal by Nick Dennis, assisted by Gareth Stone and Brad Carnegie. The third period saw some scrambly play with Oshawa tying it up with just 1 minute 12 seconds left in regulation time. It looked like there might be an overtime coming up until Oshawa got the winning goal with 45 seconds to go. This loss put the Halminen boys homeward bound with something to think about, "You can't take any team too lightly." Although the team came home without winning the tournament, I'm happy to say that Cinderella did come home with her shoe, thanks to Prince Charming. Halminen Toros Win Back to Back Games vs Port Perry On December 7, the Midget 'A' team travelled to Port Perry with only 11 skaters and 1 goaltender. Port Perry scored first only to have Bowmanville come back with three goals before the first period was over. Gareth Stone got 2 and Nick Dennis 1, with Nick getting 3 assists, Britt Cole 2, and 1 for Troy Harness, Gareth and Brad Carnegie. Port Perry tied it up in the second period with two goals, but the Toros took the lead again late in the period with a goal by Gareth assisted by Brad. Bowmanville scored "'•agairt rietein the r third with Port Perry, getting one more with just 3 seconds remaining in the game. 5-4 win for the Toros. Port Perry came to Darlington arena the next night with what seemed to be bad feelings from their previous encounter with the Toros. Bowmanville took a 3-0 lead before Port Perry got one in the second. The Toros got another halfway through the second and another in the third with Port Perry getting two in the third but not enough to win them a game. Toros' goals were scored by Nick 140 Ontario Street Bowmanville, Ontario Dec. 11,1987 To Members of Council Town of Newcastle In a recent issue of The Canadian Statesman a story, about a report to Council in reference to response time to a car fire or accident of 25 minutes was unacceptable and in most cases I would agree but after some checking checking the matter out I am of the conclusion that in all fairness to the volunteers a full story should be told. I have been advised that the call came in and was reported reported as a accident, no fire and no person trapped, only a little gas on the road. The weather that morning was snowing, with visibility very poor along with poor road conditions. The call was immediately immediately dispatched and some tima later according to the fire radio the truck reported reported that they were nearly to Hampton and hadn't found anything yet. The reply reply was you are going in the wrong direction. This was a. human error which will happen happen from time to time but my question is this, 'Where were the full time men that we pay a salary to' and again my understanding is that they were sitting in the hall in town. Now I ask you, does this make sense to pay people to sit around and call others to do the work? When the report talks about response time, I would like to quote you a report that was in a paper quoting Deputy Chief Hickey of the Osnawa Fire Dept, as saying "Response times of 20 minutes minutes north on Concession 5 are not unusual" unquote. So, if this is right, it is my opinion that the volunteer dept, needs a pat on the back. As a taxpayer it is my opinion that we are heading t o t oi • in the direction of building a j &J Sharpening big empire and it is not wav- r D ranted at this time. I suggest we make immediate use of the permanent men and call the others for back up. I also Dennis (2), Greg Healey (2), and Brad Carnegie 1 ^ with assists going to Brad (2), Britt Cole, Tony Van Hoof, Gareth Stone, Mark Tripp, Guy Freeman, Troy Harness and goaltender Darrin Bunker. J & J Sharpening Atom Hockey team in the Bowmanville Bowmanville Recreation Hockey Hockey League are having a very successful start in this early season. With many players in new positions having adapted well due to fine coaching of Wayne Bradley, Jim MacKenzie and staff.

Congratulations Congratulations and best wishes for continued success. Murray may be reached at the office 623-4445 or his residence 987-4628. suggest to you that it again is my opinion that if we are as short of men as we say we are, then as a dept, no more than one should be off at a time. As an example, I don't think the Chief and Deputy should both be on vacation at the same tima as I am sure that the Clerk and Deputy would not be on vacation at the same time, and while I am on the subject of cavation, cavation, I understood that the Town's Policy was that you got vacations after a year's service, not after 30 days or so. In conclusion, I hope that you will take the above in se- riour consideration, after all, we the people have to pay and many are on a fixed income income and do not receive an increase of around $10,000 per year. That with my information information has happened and I hope that you treat all employees employees in the same manner. Yours truly, Ken Hooper P.S. It is also my understanding understanding that an alarm came in at a store and the volunteers volunteers had to respond as the full time men were on a tour of a factory out of town and if this fact is so then in my opinion it is defeating the purpose that you and I as taxpayers were told.

Helene Folk, pictured above, is one of the Bowmanville YWCA's many fitness instructors. She believes exercise is as essential for youngsters as it is for the elderly. Registration for the winter activities are beginning now at the YWCA. Fitness classes are available morning, noon and evening, so there is no excuse for not participating. Getting in shape may be one of the best things you can do for your body, and it is never too late to begin. These words of advice came from fitness instructor instructor Helene Folk, who works for the Bowmanville YWCA. She believes the benefits of exercise can be felt almost immediately. "It only takes 6 to 8 weeks to feel a difference once you begin exercising regularly. Your outlook on life improves, improves, and you feel more energetic," Helene told The Statesman. A mother of 3, Helene has always found time to fit exercise into her daily routine. But she just recently recently began teaching for the YWCA. The Newcastle Fitness classes are held Tuesday to Thursday, at selected times throughout the day and evening. The first hurdle on the road to physical fitness is getting started. Mrs. Folk says the key to beginning a fitness program is not to set goals too high. Far too often people become discouraged discouraged because they do not meet their own expectations. expectations. "The best approach is to attend a beginners fitness class. The instructor there will watch each individual Maple Grove W. I. & U. C. W. Join for Party On Monday, December 7th at 6:30 p.m. the ladies of the W.I. " and U.C.W. and guests totalling 60 in all met at the G.E. Hall for their annual annual Pot Liick supper. Mrs. R. Metcalf, W.I. Pres., extended a welcome to all and led in the singing of grace. After all had partaken of the laden tables of first course and dessert, Mrs. Metcalf had draws of a gift for each table. Mrs. Pearl Jol- lymore had donated a gingerbread gingerbread house which was won by Mrs. W. Brown. Collection was in aid of the Salvation Army Christmas Christmas Fund and amounted to $123.50 Joan Russell and Edna Laird led in a short carol sing song while the tables were cleared for the following program. The program was in charge of the U.C.W. and those taking part were Mrs. E. Down, Mrs. T. Kelsey, Mrs. G. Russell, Mrs. P. McIntyre. Mrs. Kelsey opened the Worship Service with a Prayer on behalf of our Year of Providing Shelter Shelter for the Homeless. Mrs. Down read the Christmas Story from the bible followed by prayer. The Worship was entitled "Our Christmas Heritage", and Marg and Dorothy read ■ articles on this followed by all singing Good King Wen- ceslas. Joan read about "The Christmas Tree" followed by singing 'O, Christmas Tree. Dorone read about the Nativity Scene followed by Joan and Dorothy singing "We Shall Overcome". Marg read about "The Yule Log" followed by Joan and Dorothy singing "The Little Drummer Boy". Dorothy sang "Silent Night" a favourite carol of Austria. Joan told of our American traditions of poin- settias, turkey dinners and Jingle Bells and all sang "Jingle Bolls". Doreno read of the Canadian Carol and Dorothy and Joan sang "T'was in the Mood of Winter Winter Time". Marg told of African customs customs and Qorothy and Joan sang "The African Noel". Marfj introduced one of our ladies, Mrs. G. Soutter who with her husband had spent five weeks last summer summer in Tansania in Africa. Helen showed slides and gave a very interesting commentary commentary on the various safaris safaris they went on. Also told of the five stages of climbing mountains. There were many pictures showing life in rural Tansania and of visiting visiting various villages, etc. Mrs. B. Snowden, U.C.W. Pres, moved a note of thanks to Helen and presented her with a gift. Mrs. R. Metcalf expressed thanks to program committee, committee, Mrs. H. Brooks for table favours, and Mrs. R. Bubar for our dinner rolls. Mrs. B. Snowden asked all to repeat the Mizpah benediction to close another successful Christmas Party. - Press Sec'tary Win Brown and adapt exercises to meet their special needs. Or if a person prefers to do something something on their own, jogging, swimming or walking are all beneficial," Mrs. Folk explained. Helene expressed concern concern that a certain group of Canadians are not getting enough exercise, our children. children. "I don't believe our kids arc active enough. Teenagers Teenagers by far, are not as fit as they should be. T.V.'s, VCR's, and computers are all attractions inside, so there is less playing outside," outside," Helene pointed out. The YWCA offers programs programs for children. Mrs. Folk commented that children should not be pushed into exercising. They should be given the opportunity to discover discover what activities they like and pursue them. Nor are the elderly exempt from maintaining a fitness program. It is never too late for an older person to begin. Exercise- increases increases flexibility, mobility, mobility, circulation and muscle strength. These benefits are for the old as well as the young. According to Helene the sooner one begins exercising exercising the better. It takes the body 40 per cent longer to adapt to exercising after the age of 30, while the aerobic capacity of a 65- year-old is 20-30 per cent less than that of a 20 year- old. It would appear there is absolutely no reason not to exercise and every reason to begin. To find out more information about the YWCA's programs for the winter, phone 623-3664. N.L.
