Next game March 6 at Darlington, 3:00 p.m. Longer Off-Season for Bowmanville Eagles "I'm not happy that we didn't make the playoffs, but we were in the hunt until the end and the players didn't quit." General Manager Mike Laing by Brad Kelly Staff Writer This off-season will be a little little longer than most for the Bowmanvillc Eagles. Despite being one of the hottest teams in the Provincial Junior Hockey League over the last couple of months of the regular season, Bowmanvillc finished five points behind Cobourg and Wellington for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. "I'm not happy that we didn't didn't make the playoffs, but we were in the hunt until the end and the players didn't quit," said General Manager Mike Laing. Because Bowmanville were one of the most competitive teams down the stretch, some of the teams at the top of the standings - Pickering and Trenton - were just as glad to see the late surge for a playoff spot fall just short. "Nobody wanted to meet us in the playoffs. All of the other clubs were saying the same thing," said Laing. The season started in disarray disarray for Bowmanvillc, and it took 30 games into the regular season before things were turned around, Before the season season was 20 games old, the club had three different head coaches. coaches. Carey Durante was fired in the pre-season and replaced by Don Howes. With a record of 7- 10-1, Howes was fired and replaced on an interim basis by head scout Jim Heffering. Over the course of the next 13 games, the Eagles posted a dismal record of 2-9-2, and any chance of making the playoffs were lost. "Jim (Heffering) was put into a difficult situation," Laing says of moving out of the stands and stepping behind the bench. One of the biggest problems the club was having at the time was with its veteran players. A number of them felt that because they played for the hockey club last year, they were owed ice time, says Laing. "We needed.the veterans to take a step up for us this year and they didn't do it," added Laing. Ryan Latimer was shipped off to Aurora, while Chris Steele and Brett Pakosta left the club. Once the turmoil was settled, settled, and Dave Luciuk was added to the coaching staff at Christmas, the Eagles became a competitive team. "Once some of the negativity negativity left the club, the young kids started to perform for us," said Laing. Some of the young players Laing refers to have bright futures ahead of them. Stephen Hoar and Tyler Cook arc both expected to be picked in the first round of the OHL draft in Brampton in May. Both players saw some playoff action with the Cobourg Cougars in their short series against Pickering. Because Cobourg lost the services services of a couple of players to the Canada Winter Games, they were granted special permission permission to add two players to their roster for the playoffs. Despite the addition of Hoar and Cook, Cobourg lost in three straight games. The three other draft eligible players, Mike Morrison, Bryart Riddell, and Dionne Penney, arc also expected to have their names called on draft day. Those players arc all expected expected to see some action on March 23, when Bowmanville hosts a club team from the Czech Republic that is touring Ontario. Bowmanville's roster will be comprised of their players players who arc under 17, along with other players from Cobourg and Ajax. On the agenda this off-season off-season is a review of the coaching situation, as well as trying to put a deal in place to serve as an affiliate for the Erie Otters of the OHL. Rookie camp will be in Bowmanville on April 24-25 (invitation only). A golf tournament tournament is scheduled for June, while a hockey school is in the works for August.

Adults With Flat Feet: It Gets Complicated Question: Telma, I have read with Interest your articles articles on flat feet, especially flat feet with children. What I don,t understand is, why do I need to see a physiotherapist physiotherapist If I have flat feet? Let's recap what, exactly, the term "flat feet" means. In medical terms we call it pes planus, or a foot that rolls in. If you look at a person from the back, you see that they are taking more weight on an inner arch and, as a consequence, the foot flattens you have observed an instance of flat foot. Initially this may not sound like a condition of grave concern but when on considers considers that a flat foot will affect how a person walks in combination combination with how much time us grown ups actually spend on our feet, a flat foot has very important implications. It will affect how we walk and, ultimately, problems may develop elsewhere In our bodies. The observer can see the flattening but a more detailed understanding of each flat- footed person's condition Is possible with a computerizes gait analysis. The client will walk through this examination; the weight of a person is taken in different measures by their feet as hc/sho walks. Walking may seem like a simple activity, but (hero are throe distinct distinct parts to the action. First the heel strikes the ground, then wo roll through the middle pari of the foot and then wo push off with the first and second toes. Tills Is the normal stop of a normal-footed person. person. When a person has a flat foot walking is very different. Specifically, two things will happen: They take too much weight through the heel on the side, of the foot that is flat. You will hear, what is referred to as "elephant foot": as it slams, slams. The heel hits the floor much harder that in should. I've actually seen this as it happens in the gait scan: a red area will show under the heel/ With time this will pout strain on the spring ligament under the foot - - the PLANTAR FACIS • • and the suffer could develop PLANTAR FACIATIS, or heel spur syndrome. The heel does not strike very well, and the walker will roll in to the inner arch and then push off. This Is also very clear on the gait scan. With this particular patient the complications complications move further up the body., The foot is not taking the impact of the ground well, creating the potential for knee, hip, and even back problems. Adults tend to take their feet for granted and, on the surface, having a flat foot doesn't sound like such a big deal, But left untreated it can lead to something as "small" as heel spur syndrome, as nagging knee problem or persistent persistent back pain that actually limits your activity level. The best solution Is to see your physiotherapist for an examination, examination, The focus next time will address exactly how a flat foot affects the hips, knees, and back.
