Soccer Agreement Leaves Everyone Involved Pleased The potential controversy which was brewing between local soccer associations associations and the Clarington Community Services Department has come to an amicable end. "We are quite happy. We are very happy, in fact," said Peter Johnson, Johnson, who has been acting as a spokesperson for community soccer groups in the area. It was reported in recent editions that the governing soccer associations associations representing the over 1,700 area kids who play the sport each summer summer had become disenchanted with the deteriorating conditions and lack of maintenance work that was being done on the fields. An in-depth report outlining the needs of the associations was circulated circulated and presented to both Town Council and the Community Services Department. Department. After much review and negotiations, an extensive report was prepared by Community Services. Judging by the reaction from Peter Johnson, everyone involved is pleased. The hostilities that may have been building between the soccer associations associations and Community Services department have been "quelled," said Johnson. In the report, a number of concerns were addressed. 1. All field lines will be burned annually at the first available date prior to the beginning of each season. This service is provided at all soccer facilities. 2. All fields will be equipped with chalk and lining equipment and proper facilities to store the equipment. Community Services is prepared to provide five field markers, at a cost of $1,500. 3. All fields are to have regulation goalposts and mesh netting. Ten sets of mesh netting, at a cost of approximately $3,000, will be provided, with the league assuming responsibility for installation and removal removal at each game. 4. Grass cutting will be maintained on a regular cycle. Difficulties did arise in some areas of the municipality last year with respect to the length of grass on the fields. 5. Players' benches will be installed at all fields. Total cost for this service is estimated at $6,000. "We have accomplished some of what we hoped to get for the kids," said Johnson of the report. The soccer associations are still seeking some more perks, including an illuminated soccer field at the proposed Courtice Community Complex. Complex. Construction in Courtice may begin as early as this year. Also, the fields at Waverley Public School may potentially be redesigned, redesigned, with the hopes of optimizing space to allow for three fields, instead instead of the two that are currently available. Though nothing is carved in stone, this is the beginning of what everyone everyone involved hopes will become a successful relationship. It's a partnership partnership which can only help to improve the future of soccer in the area. v ; y Mr. Sub Sweeps Dykstra's In BRHL Peewee Playoffs The Mr. Submarine Peewee team started the "A" Championship at the Orono arena on Wednesday, April 13, against Dykstras Deli. The Sub boys knew that no one would care about how they did all year. Who ended up the champions would be the team everyone would remember. This also could be the war of the sandwiches: the Sub vs the Deli. The Deli boys drew first blood as they scored early on a power play. The Subs got this one back when Niko Anastassakis passed to Lucas, who skated down the ice and popped the puck past the goalie and into the net. The Sub team then notched a power play goal of their own when Shawn Watson let a shot go from the point that Chris Pcldiak tipped over the goalie and into the net. The third Sub goal was scored when James passed back to Lucas on the point,who let a blast go that beat a screened goalie. The fourth Sub goal was scored due to some nice passing, Chris passed up to Niko who skated down the boards then passed across the ice to Brent Logan who one- timed the puck into the net. The same trio were in on the Sub's fifth goal. This time Niko passed up to Chris, who then made a lead pass up to Brent, the goalie tried to beat Brent but failed and Brent shot the puck into the net. The final Sub goal was scored when Mike McCrory picked up a loose puck, skated over the centre line and let a shot go that surprised the goalie as it tipped over his stick and into the net. The final score was Sub 6, Dykstras 1. The second game of the "A" championship was played on April board early in the first period when Shawn shot the puck up the boards to Matt Meadows, who skated past the defence and fired the puck through the goalies five-hole and into the net. The second Sub goal was scored when Niko dug the puck out of the comer to James, who shot the puck oyer the goalie and into the net. The third Sub goal again was due to hard work, this time Chris dug the puck out to David Dustan who shot the puck into an open net. The referees tried to slow Sub down as they kept giving them penalties, penalties, but this didn't stop them as they scored again, this time shorthanded as Niko took a shot on the net with Matt grabbing the rebound, shoving it under the goalie and into the net. Dykstras then scored a power play goal to make the final Sub 4, Dykstras Dykstras 1, which proves that a Sub is better than a sandwich any day.

The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Wednesday, April 20,1994 9 by Brad Kelly The successful championship run that lacrosse player Jim Veltman has enjoyed over the last couple of years came to its conclusion on Saturday afternoon. His two-time defending champion Buffalo Bandits of the Major Indoor Lacrosse League were humbled by the Philadelphia Wings, 26-15, in front of a sell-out crowd at the Buffalo Memorial Auditorium. The championship was the third in the history of the Philadelphia franchise. They won consecutive league titles in 1989 and '90. "We had a good season and went to the final for the third straight year and nobody can deny that," said Veltman in summing up the past year. Saturday marked the third time in a row that the two teams have clashed in the league final. On both 1 occasions, Buffalo prevailed with one-goal victories. In 1992, the win came in sudden-death overtime. In Saturday's final, Buffalo held a 10-7 lead at the half, but a total team collapse in the second half led to an astonishing 19-5 margin in favour of Philadelphia. The 19-goal outburst set a championship game record which previously stood at 17, set by New Jersey in 1988, and equalled by Philadelphia in "No one could put their finger on what happened," said Veltman of that fateful second half of the game. "Some said it was a combination of a lot of things...everything multiplied together in one half." Individually, Veltman, the league's third leading scorer during the regular season, had a strong game. He scored three times and added four assists in the loss. Jim Veltman Veltman finished the year with 37 points, an increase of 10 points over last year. He also led the league in gaining control of loose balls, finishing with 130, 56 more than teammate John Tavares who finished second. For Veltman's season, he was selected as a first team all-star. But all the personal accolades pale in comparison to Saturday's unexpected loss. Next year, says Veltman, Buffalo will have something to prove. "We have a desire to redeem ourselves for next year That's the feeling I got from a lot of our people," he said. "We are still a good team."

Enniskillen Cyclist LIFESTYLE TIPS Heart Health Quiz From page 8 during a 100-mile race in Hamilton, which he recalls with a vividly sharp memory. "At that distance, it was customary customary to carry two bottles of drink with you, or have a car that carried the drink for you," he said of the exhausting 100-mile journey. With his water being safeguarded in his father's car, which was nowhere nowhere to be found, Leadbeater pedalled pedalled the first 75 miles without a drink. "When I didn't get a drink, I stopped at a peach orchard and grabbed some peaches. Then I rode down the road to a water pump," he recalled. At that point, race officials were passing by in a car, picking up any racers who didn't feel they were capable capable of completing the course. Leadbeater told them he had had enough for the day, and asked to be taken back. "They told me I was close to the finish line and I had to ride to the finish because it was the quickest way to get home." He finished the race in second place.

Do you have high blood pressure? 3. Is your blood cholesterol level high? 4. Arc you physically active? If you answered "yes" to any of Questions 1,2 or 3, you are at risk of developing heart disease. If you answered "no" to Question 4, you arc also at risk of developing heart disease. If you don't know your blood pressure or your blood cholesterol cholesterol level, ask your doctor at your next annual check-up. The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada recognizes four major preventable factors which increase the risk of developing heart disease: smoking, high blood cholesterol levels, high blood pressure and a sedentary lifestyle. Smoking In addition to damaging lungs and causing cancer, smoking can also cause heart disease. It docs so by hardening the arteries. The risk of developing heart disease increases with the amount of tobacco smoked, but there is no safe level of smoking. Quitting the addiction takes a very strong commitment, but it has been done by many. A number of self- help and group methods for quitting are available. Take the time to prepare for quitting, then quit. Remember: most people try quitting seven or eight times before they finally break free. High blood cholesterol There is "good" cholesterol (carried by H DL or high-density lipoproteins) and "bad" cholesterol (carried by LDL or low-density lipoproteins), "Bad" cholesterol sticks to the walls of blood vessels, preventing blood from flowing easily to the heart. You can help to prevent this by • not smoking; • keeping your intake of saturated fats and cholesterol low. (Saturated fats are solid at room temperature. Cholesterol comes only from animal products,) • reduce your salt intake; • limit your alcohol consumption to two drinks a day; • maintain a healthy weight; • don't smoke. Sedentary lifestyle Regular physical activity can be effective in preventing and limiting the effects of heart disease and stroke. The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada recommends daily physical activity. Is it difficult for you to block a half hour every day? Then try adding up active minutes throughout the day. Walk to a bus stop further away, take the stairs instead of the elevator, stretch during your morning break, go out for a 10- minule walk during lunch hour, do sit-ups during TV commercials... Turn your minutes into active minutes. Preventing these four risk factors boils down to shedding three lifestyle habits: smoking, eating high-fat foods, and not exercising. To care for your heart, start working on one of these three habits today.
