Hie Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, August 19, 1998 Section Two Paste 3 Green Gaels Seek Revenge at Founder's Cup by Brad Kelly Staff Writer Despite playing a total of 34 games -- including 20 during the regular season and 14 more in the playoffs playoffs -- the one game the Clarington Green Gaels want to play in before the season ends is scheduled for Saturday at 5:00 p.m. That's when the top two Jr. B lacrosse teams in the country will face off for the Founder's Cup, with the winner earning the bragging rights as the Canadian champion. "All year long our focus has been to win the Founder's Cup," said Green Gaels head coach, Kevin O'Brien. "It's a one-game final, and I hope that we get there." The four-team national championship tournament will open on Wednesday, and conclude on Saturday afternoon with the bronze and gold medal matches. In addition to the Green Gaels, other teams competing competing for national honours will be Alberta, Six Nations, and Iroquois Nation. The Green Gaels will open the tournament on Wednesday against Alberta, followed by a game against Six Nations row V on Thursday. They close out the round robin against Iroquois Nation on Friday. The top teams from the round robin will meet in Saturday's gold medal game at 5:00 p.m. The third and fourth place teams battle for the bronze medal at 2:00 p.m. If tradition dictates how the tournament will unfold, expect a rematch of the Ontario final between Clarington and Six Nations in Saturday's championship game. Teams from Alberta have been traditionally weak, while the Iroquois Nation is a group of all-stars who are put together strictly for the tournament. Though the skill level is high, the team generally has difficulties difficulties playing together as a unit and relics on individual individual talent. Even the Six Nations coach acknowledged the possibility of facing the Green Gaels in the championship championship game. "After Six Nations beat us (in game six of the Ontario championship) their coach shook my hand and said 'We'll see you in the finals,'" said O'Brien. The reference obviously is to the Founder's Cup final game. Six Nations are the defending Canadian champions. champions. Though the Green Gaels won't enter the tournament as Ontario champs, revenge could be a huge motivating factor. "We had to realize how much it hurts to lose before we can win," said O'Brien while reflecting on the series loss to Six Nations. "Hopefully, losing the Ontario championship will be the best thing that could happen. Now we only have i one chance left to win it all. We might be a little hungrier now." After a 15-5 regular season, season, the Green Gaels defeated Akwcsasne in the maximum five games in their opening round of playoffs, and then disposed disposed of Nepean in three straight games. In the Ontario final, the Gaels lost in six games to Six Nations.

Scars & Back Pain QUESTION: Telma, my back felt better right after you worked the scar on my tummy. But I don't understand why. Can you explain? We have no trouble understanding how a scar can restrict mobility locally. For example a scar on the knee makes it harder to bend the knee. But how can a scar in one area of the body, like the tummy, have an effect on an area far removed from it, like the back? A scar is the body's natural way of healing after after a break in the skin. The layer of tissue between the skin and the muscles is called the myofascia. Like, the skin, the myofascia is one continuous continuous sheet throughout the body. So the muscles can be thought of as sitting in a body bag of two layers: the skin and the myofascia. myofascia. The problem with a scar is that when it is tight, it binds the skin to the underlying myofascia, a process called adherence. So, if the "body bag" is pulled tight in the front because of a scar, it can restrict mobility in the back. Over time, it can affect the person's entire posture by pulling the head and neck forward and down, and pulling the back tight. In my practice, I have seen many patients improve in their neck and back mobility just from working their scars. Abdominal scars seem to cause the most problem. Even a little scar on the abdomen, like one through the belly button, or an appendix scar, often results in decreased mobility for the back. So, it is my common procedure procedure to ask each patient if they have any scars. I have seen stiff shoulders, necks, backs and headaches headaches improve dramatically dramatically just from working the affected scars. Once the scar is worked to gain mobility, it is important to follow through with whole body stretches and strengthening strengthening to maintain the mobility.
