Page 2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvillc, February 25, 199% Section Two Volleyball All-Canadian Clarington's Joanna Van Dyke was named an OCAA league all-star and a CCAA All-Canadian at the leauge volleyball volleyball banquet. She helped her Durham College team to a fourth place finish at the Ontario Championships. Series was Over Before Final Game It's difficult to pinpoint the moment when the Bowmanvillc Eagles lost their playoff scries to the Trenton Sting. But, having covered this hockey club for the past nine years, I can tell you the moment when I knew they would bow out in Monday night's fifth game. It was during a post-game interview with coach Curtis Hodgins following Sunday night's 5-1 loss in game four. The win gave Trenton a commanding commanding 3-1 lead in the scries. I asked Hodgins what the mood in the dressing room was like after the game. , "Pretty sombre. It's quiet," lie said. There was a long pause between us, both knowing what the consequences of that silence meant. Nobody in the room was standing up, telling his teammates that things were all right and they were still in the scries. Nobody was saying Sunday's game was just a bad one, and with, a win Monday night in Trenton, they would be right back in the series with game six in Bowmanvillc on Tuesday. Nobody was saying teams have come back from greater deficits before. Nobody was repeating the proverbial: "we have to take it one game at a time" or "our backs are against the wall" cliches. Actually, somebody was saying those things. But it was Hodgins. And his audience was two reporters, Wally Donaldson of Clarington This Week, and me. We were sitting in the corner of a dressing room that serves as the coach's room for conducting a post-game interview. Hodgins was saying those things because, to the media, that's what he had to say. He had to remain positive positive for the sake of his players in case they were to read his quotes in the paper. Funny thing though, as Hodgins tried to remain positive, it was interesting that neither Wally nor I were taking notes. Both of us have been through too many of these kinds of interviews when a team is on the brink of elimination to know better. It's a credit to Hodgins that he was able to stay upbeat. Whether he truly believed what he was saying is only speculation. Playoff success may be a thing of the past for the Eagles now that they are in the Provincial Jr. A league. Gone arc the league championships that were theirs for the taking every year at the Jr. C level. This town may never see another junior hockey championship. 'Much of the credit for this year's success goes to Hodgins,,who was named the league's coach of the year. The league recognizes up-and-coming talent when they sec it.

Playoff Nightmare Continues For Third Year in a Row, Eagles Bounced in Opening Round by Brad Kelly Sloff Writer The Bowmanvillc Eagles avoided being swept, but were certainly brushed aside by the Trenton Sting in their Provincial Jr. A Eastern Conference quarter-final playoff scries. After opening the scries with a 4-1 victory, Bowmanvillc dropped the next four games, ending their season with a 4-1 loss in game five in Trenton on Monday night. Trenton also won games two, three, and four of the series by scores of 6-4, 3-2, and 5-1 respectively. respectively. Perhaps the crushing 5- 1 loss in game four on home ice Sunday night was the end of the scries for the Eagles, although the official end came one night later. With a chance to tie the series at two games apiece, the Eagles came up with one of their worst outings of the year at a most inopportune time. "We talked about getting getting the first goal, and when we didn't score with all the power play chances in the first period, I wondered wondered if it was going to be one of those nights," said coach Curtis Hodgins after the pivotal game four. It turned out that his inclination inclination was right, only worse. This was the third year in a row that the Eagles have been eliminated from the post-season in the opening round. In their first year of play at the Provincial Jr. A level, they were swept by Lindsay in four straight games. Last year, Newmarket bounced the Eagles in six games. Neither of the previous playoff scries losses arc as disappointing as this one. This year, with a regular season that produced a record - of 27-19-5, the Eagles were expected to get at least to the second round. But sometime after winning game one, and before starting game two, the team lost perspective of what they had to do to win. "We didn't play well as a team," said Hodgins. "Everybody had their own agenda." For Trenton, who entered the league three seasons ago along with Bowmanvillc, this is their first trip to the playoffs. NOT SO FAST - Bowmanvillc Eagles forward Ryan Latimer raises his hands in celebration celebration of a goal scored during the first period of a Provincial Jr. A league playoff game that was played on Sunday night at the Recreation Complex. The goal was disallowed, disallowed, after referee Jim Houston ruled the puck had been kicked in. Turns out the Eagles could have used the goal, as they lost the game 5-1.

Orthotics for Neck Pain QUESTION: Telma, I have trouble understanding how you could possibly recommend recommend orthotics for neck pain. What do my feet have to do with my neck? This is an excellent question. People have little little trouble understanding how orthotics can help with feet problems, knee problems or back problems. problems. It is a bit more of a stretch to understand how an orthotics can help with a neck problem. A patient's body in some ways is like a house. If you have a window that is warped on the second story the first thing you do is replace that window. In the patient's case, the first thing often done is to treat,the peck. If the pain only, gets somewhat better better with the,treatment or in a case of the house if the warped window comes back, then you need to take a further look to see if there is a foundation problem. Maybe a crack in the foundation is causing the walls to lean and therefore therefore producing a warped window. It is the same thing in a patient's case. A lot of people have come to me after getting their neck treated else where and their neck pain has not resolved. In a computerized gait analysis analysis their gait typically shows minimal heel strike. The heel strike being the first of three phases of a normal gait. Patient's with neck pain who can be helped by orthotics have very little little imprint of-this phase. We call it decreased rear foot loading. In other words, when you look at their scan they show very little weight bearing on the heel strike phase of gait and excessive weight bearing in the push-off part of the gait. The question to ask is what this has to do with one's neck. A person who tends to push-off with their toes and has a poor heel strike tends to walk more on their toes. These people will have a forward forward head posture and/or a forward tilting spine. The gait is reflecting that change in their feet. If you have neck pain, especially longstanding pain, orthotics may be a consideration for you.
