eighth in his category at the World Masters Championships on July The local lifter look eighth spot in a field of nine in the 4019 yearold age division of the weight category at he global barbell meet in Yorkshire England Barton hoisted a threelift total of 5 kg or 1039 lbs to round out his per In a weight division he almost qualify for Apparently Barton weighed in two pounds overweight just one day prior to the beginning of the com petition and was forced to spend two gruelling hours In a sauna to sweat himself down to the 67 kilo limit Barton spent the week prior to the competition visiting friends and relatives in his hometown of Sklpton located about mites north of the world championship si in Milton Keynes I guess that what ding a week in England before the do quipped Barton wife Elaine in an Interview with fie Herald on Monday Competition was keen in all dlvl prove good value for the buck Pauls call Last week 1 did my bit for the I went to an Argo game and spent bucks Well let me set the record straight I went to the game versus B Lions with my girlfriend Michelle and our esteemed editor Mike Turner While I can vouch for Mike ex penditure I owe him money so I not asking Michelle aid 1 ended up spending between us For you math whines that Now don gel me wrong I not begrudging payout We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the game was both entertaining and exciting won with threatening right up until the last second The regular fan no doubt spends less at an Argo game But for occasional visitors to Stadium like myself the allure of ballpark treats is just too temp ting The last time I viewed a football game in person at the Ex was in 197B I spent a cold afternoon in end zone seats my little brother while Hon caster sang his swan song and an upstart Notre Dame nam Tom Clements showed floshcs of brilliance So as you can readily 11 years between stadium hot dogs was just loo much for me lo After dropping four bills for parking we arrived late and thus could not afford the time to park along the lake for free we picked up pretty deccnl grandstand seats for SI each Wasting little lime Michelle and I soon emptied the collective fers on the requisite beer total and that s only four beers each hot dogs must even at a shotl and pizza 111 for big four Just some tips in case you haven been lo an game in a while The beer sales close prompt ly at the end of the third quarter or with three minutes remaining in the third quarter whatever comes first The beer Is very light so unless you want to double your payout sip it slowly even if you have to force yourself The hot dogs still Feature those big juicy wieners but buy them early on In the game by the fourth quarter the buns are a bit The pizza noi a bad deal even at 11 bucks It fresh and hot and will keep you relatively full for at least two sets of downs All in all not a bad night out for apiece When you consider couple of beers hole then the Arg la bad alternative However there were only about other people at last Thurs day game despite the fact and Lions are playing the beat football In Ihe right now More fans turned last weekend to watch the Bluer than Blue Jays drop twooutof three the Yanks Perhaps Bob O should get into a nasty shouting match with Gilbert Renfroe of the Musters meet which Mrs Barton said her husband described as a truly world class competition In a telephone mover with his wife after event Barton reported his division title was won by a Finnish lifter with an impressive squat poundage of kg S28lbs Barton himself was slightly down in his overall total from

Mrs Barton said her husband was pleased with his performance He wasn too disappointed she said He enjoyed the competition and he attempted some heavy lifts After hoisting 107 kg lbs in the bench press Barton at tempted to lift 117 kg after mistakenly eschewing the usual Increase In favor of a jump He thought he may have jumped up a bit too much too soon reported Mrs Barton While both his bench press and squat- 177 kg kg or lbs were down from his Canadian plonshlp lifts Barton did improve markedly In the dead lift where he pulled 187 kg 1412 lbs an in crease of a full half kilo over his
