By Laurie Burns Exercise Physiologist you want to skate out- doors in the summer time? In-line skating offers all the fun of its winter counterparts, but without the cold. An in-line skate is like a cross between a roller skate and an ice skate. Instead of a skate blade, it has three to five wheels lined up one behind the other. Hence the name “in-line” skates. In-line skating is only vaguely similar to roller-skat- ing. In-line skating technique more closely resembles ice skating, and many of the turning motions are similar to skiing. If you know how to ice skate, you’ll take to the sport almost instantly. But even if you have never skat- ed, you may find in-line skat- ing easier to learn than you think. In-line, skating, though, does carry some risk. Wearing protective equip- ment, honing your skills and some common sense can help improve your safety and comfort. These measures apply to all in-line skaters, from novice to advanced. Obviously, a fall on asphalt can be devastating, so protec- tive gear is a must. Even if you are an experienced in- line skater, you never know when a small stone may jam your wheels or a crack in the w you Off bal- ance. You only have to fall onte to appreciate protective equipment. To protect against wrist injuries, specialized splint- type wrist guards can be used. Knee pads and elbow _. Activity Line In-line skating tips Pads are also important. Convenient Velcro straps make these protective pads easy to take them on and off quickly. The most important piece of safety equipment is to ear a helmet. Skate on clean, dry ‘sur- faces. If you get on a wet sur- face, you will lose control of your wheels. If you get caught in the rain, return home slowly and try to avoid Pressure on your wheels when you turn to keep the skates from sliding sideways, Pay attention to the road ahead of you. Beware of stones, sticks, debris and pot- holes. The faster you go the more you need to pay atten- tion to the road. Skate in control. Go slowly unless you are sure of the sur- face ahead and you are confi- dent in your ability to stop or slow down quickly. Besides being lots of fun, in-line skating can strengthen your leg muscles and get you in better shape.

Bantam Ea By Mike Zrostek What was supposed to be an easy opening round for the Georgetown M&M Pro S| Bantam Eagles will be a tight affair, as the Eagles dropped a 3-2 decision to Thorold in game one of the best two-out- of-three series Saturday. The Eagles committed seven errors in the game that led to three unearned-runs for Thorold, erasing an Eagles 2-0 lead. It also wasted a great Pitching performance by Martie McKinnon who held 3 a coach Steve Kucherawy wasn’t pleased with the result of game one, “No team is going to win mak- ing seven errors, especially in the playoffs,” he said. “We had some good practices dur- ing the week working on defense but I think having ( Jamie) Briggs out really hurt us.” Briggs, who made only two errors in the field all season, apparently pinched a nerve and was unable to play and is left to right; gles lose playoff opener questionable for the rest of the series. With the score 3-2 in the seventh the Eagles threatened when Lucas Wood walked, stole second and then third, “We, were seriously thinking of having Wood steal home,” said Kucherawy. Unfortunately, a ground out ended the game for the Eagles.
