Marie Greyhounds Junior A game. The capacity crowd of nearly 2,800 witnessed Bob Raymond score two quick goals to put the Lucknow Orange team ahead before Ricky Andrew potted one for the Lucknow Black team. About 150 Lucknow ' area residents made the trip to Owen Sound for this event. This included 12 Lucknow Boy Scouts .and 19 of their family members who were there as part. of a group package promotion from the Platers management. • The 31 Lucknow Novice players and, six coaches were given free admission to the game while the rest of the entourage were given $2.00 discounts off the regular seat prices. The event is a followup of the Platers recent full team practice held at the- Lucknow District Sports• Complex in December. In the Junior A game itself, Owen Sound fell 6 - 5 to the league leading Greyhounds 'in a game in which they were con- tinually playing catchup hockey. Canadian national team member Jamie Storr had backstopped the Platers to a 7 - 4 victory over Sault Ste. Marie the previous evening, but was relegated to the bench with a slight case of food poisoning for the Sunday • matinee. The Novice. mini -game was organized by Lucknow coaches Kevin Cook and Keith Raymond and their assistants. The Scout package was put 'together by Scout leaders Dale Lougheed and Cliff Mann. The whole clay was enjoyed by all 'in •attendance and was one of the highlights of their Lucknow minor hockey season.

Coaches tip Education on Checking from behind The most common cause of serious spinal injuries in hockey is when a player is checked, pushed or bumped from behind, and goes head first into the boards. Such injuries have left some victims paralysed for life. As a coach, it is your respon- sibility to ensure that your players develop the proper attitudes and" skills to protect themselves and opponents from dangerous hits from behind. Education must begin at the start of the season. Coaches at all levels, contact and noncontact, t must help players develop respect for opponents and rules. Players must be aware of the consequences of checking, shoving, or bumping an opponent who is in the "danger zone", the 3-4 metres . of ice in front of the boards. Teach your players to treat opponents as they like to'be-treated themselves! Coaches in categories with contact should recognize that checking is an advanced skill which must be • taught using proper teaching progressions, . and only once the players have mastered all skating skills. Safety must be the first priority . when teaching checking skills. Here are mores suggestions: • - ensure your players stretch proper- ly before all games and practices - make sure your players include exercises to . strengthen neck. muscles in off -ice training programs - teach your _players the proper technique for receiving checks, and to always' be alert when in the "danger zone" encourage referees to enforce all rules that penalize checking from behind. Trans Canada trail is 1500 km long A -proposed Trans Canada Snowmobile Trail will be one step ' closer to completion after 40 prominent Canadian snowmobilers make the 1500 km. trek from Barrie, Ontario to Fredericton, New Brunswick. Dubbed "Rendezvous '94" and organized by the Canadian Council of Snowmobile Organizations (CCSO), the ride has attracted high profile riders from each provincial snowmobiling association as • well as government and media participants. "Rendezvous '94 will ride exclusively on an existing network of connecting snowmobile trails in Eastern Canada," states CCSO President Harold McAdam, "and highlight 'the .inter -provincial' cooperation necessary • to build on Canada's $1.4 billion snowmobiling . economy. Our eventual goal is to join Canada from' coast to coast with a snow highway in the grand tradition of our forefathers who built the first trans Canada railway. "Rendezvous is •an excellent opportunity for, us to showcase the work in progress on Ontario's TOP Trails under the $20.8 million SNO-TRAC partnership," comments OFSC President Don Lumley. "It also recognizes the importance - or two new OFSC initiatives = the new 1994 Ontario TOP Trail Map and the debut' of our landmark joint trail permit with Quebec:" The 'OFSC's TOP. Trail Map details the extensive network of snowmobile trails being developed under SNO-TRAC and is the Federation's equivalent of a provincial road map. A hundred thousand copies have • been distributed throughout Ontario by the OFSC to encourage snowmobile tourism and to call attention to this incredible winter resource. The joint trail permit, commemoratively called "Rendezvous", is a first in international,. snowmobiling, and allows snowmobilers from either province hassle -free access to - 60,000 kms. of the world's longest and best snowmobile trails for one low price. Both the joint permit and Rendezvous. '94 have the antecedent in a "Rendezvous '91" ride -through Ontario and Quebec that -has obviously paid large dividends for. snowmobiling over the intervening years by forging a closer working relationship between the OFSC and the Federation des .Clubs de Motoneigistes •du Quebec (FCMQ). The OFSC is inviting local snowmobile clubs along the proposed route to' join Rendezvous '94 as it passes through their area as a reminder that economic success of Ontario snowmobiling depends on grassroots support and thousands of community volunteers. Aim is .to keep seniors in their home 'from page 8 • of the elderly, it's less costly for the taxpayer. It's the rare and perfect agreement of taxpayers and state. "The population is aging," says Wolnik. "There are more elderly people 10 look after." By keeping them in their own homes longer, less Money • needs to be spent by government to provide property, buildings, furnishings, special facilities, staff and all the amenities of day-to-day' living to care for the elderly in public institutions. "More people can be looked after in a more cost-effective way in their own homes." Wolnik explains. • She admits the price of care increases.. along with°, the level of dependence. The more care a person requires, the more it will cost. Generally speaking though, the elderly are fairly active and can get along in their own homes for several years with only minimal help.- perhaps a homemaker two or three times a week to do the laundry, the shopping and ° the vacuuming. Even someone who requires a homemaker part'bf every day to do the housework and prepare t5si`h meals and a physiothera ' ice a week to assist with habi�tttion exercises,is costing th system less Than the per diem rate for a nursing home. • But there's a big bonus for the elderly. Because they are able to remain in their own liomes, they are more content than their nursing home counterparts - and they take pride in footing the bills for their own housing, their own utilities, their own food, their own daily personal needs. It is only when individuals must have frequent daily visits by several ,professions - perhaps even around the clock nursing care - that the posts exceed those in an institution. Taken overall, it is- more economical - and more humane - to care for people in their own homes. l ,.
