Nicholson's top five
By Craig Nicholson
five to go to Ripley on Monday night
and bring home a 4-0 victory. Grant
Sparling added a shutout to his
already great season. McDowell
opened the scoring with a goal in
each of the three periods. Daniel
Elliott added a goal in the second
period to let Ripley know that Blyth
meant business!
Juveniles
enjoy
3-point
weekend
The Wingham Juveniles gained
three of a possible four points this
past weekend.
On Friday night the team travelled
to Monkton to play Elma-Logan.
Wingham was short-staffed but skat-
ed away with an 8-0 win. Scoring for
Wingham were Jake Henderson,
Peter Irwin and Marc Fischer with
two each, Jake Bruce and Kent
Readman. Assists went to Bruce
(two), Rod MacEwen, Curtis knight,
Kevin Hopf (three), Matt Merkley
and Steve Todd.
Zane Davies made many key saves
to earn the shutout.
On Saturday the team returned
home to face Paisley. The lead
changed hands numerous times with
the game ending in a tie. Trailing 5-4
with less than 10 seconds left,
Wingham launched a full out barrage
of shots on the Paisley goalie.
Finally Curtis Knight put home the
tying goal for the buzzer banger to
tie the game.
Also scoring for Wingham were
Aaron Siep, Bruce and Steve Carter
with two. Assists went to Henderson

10 tips
to keep
your back
healthy
Eight out of 10 Canadians will
experience some degree of back pain
at some point in their life and, for
many people, the pain may keep
them from work, school or even their
day-to-day activities.
While back pain will often go
away on its own, there is an 80 per
cent chance that your back pain will
recur if left untreated. Consult a chi-
ropractor or your family physician if
you have back pain that persists for
more than a week. Prevention is
always the best medicine.
Practise these ten simple tips to
keep your back in good-health:
1. Maintain good posture.
2. Stretch your spine before and
after sports.'
3. Don't overload your backpack or
shoulder bag.
4. Stretch your legs and back after
each hour of sitting.
5. Never cradle the phone between
your neck and shoulder. 6. Sleep on
your back or side, not on your stom-
ach.
7. Invest in a good chair, pillow and
mattress. It's worth it!
8. Exercise regularly.
9. Follow a healthy diet.
10. Have regular spinal check-ups.
Reduce, reuse
and recycle
Each winter, I test many products.
Some don't'live up to their promise
or are simply too much trouble for
practical everyday use.
However, a few shine through,
and I report my findings to help
make your riding more safe and
enjoyable.
Bikers Riding Apparel: My -best
discovery is these very light-weight
under-jackets, pants, balaclavas,
and socks made with Gore
Windstopper® material. They pre-
vent cold air from reaching your
skin, thereby providing an thermal
barrier much thinner, but effectively
2.5 times better than conventional
polar fabrics.
Wearing this apparel underneath
our snowmobile suits, both my wife
and I also gained freedom of move-
ment without sacrificing warmth,
even on the coldest days.
Alternatively, wearing only the
jacket as my outer layer over a light
polypropylene shirt made for com-
fortable spring usage.
The Sport Box: Luggage prob-
lems and fuel concerns can be elim-
inated with the Sport Box. This
fully enclosed, light-weight sleigh
tows so easily and handles so well,
you'll forget it's behind you. The
Sport Box is equipped with a spare
gas can that fits securely into place
underneath the baggage compart-
ment. Inside, strong cargo straps
secure your load.
Fast-Trac Studs: For years I didn't
stud my tracks, but when the thaw-
freeze cycle of many recent winters
caused frequent icy conditions, I
decided to get more bite and I'll
never go back. I've tried various
traction products, but have never
been completely satisfied until
installing Top Gun Carbide II studs
from Fast-Trac. For the first time, I
rode all winter without losing one
stud, maybe because of the extra
large 1" heads. After 15,000 kilome-
tres (about 10,000 miles), they were
still doing the job — and the back-
ers come in colours to match your
sled.
Tour Buddy: This company spe-
cializes in auxiliary fuel tanks cus-
tomized to fit under the hood of any
sled. What caught my eye and
approval is their small tank that
Comes in handy 'for transporting
specialty oil you can't just buy any-
where.
Two of these heavy-duty, well-
sealed five litre-tanks (1.3 U.S.
Gal.) accompanied me on every tour
without any breaking or spilling. I
carried them in my rear rack, but
some sleds have room for one under
the hood.
Reima Snowmobile Clothing: My
wife and I swear by our light-weight
Reima Goretex® snowmobile jack-
ets, pants and gloves. Since suiting
up in Reima, we've never been cold,
wet or uncomfortable while riding.
Last winter's new Ranier jacket has
a detachable fleece lining and
underarm pit zips for all-tempera-
ture versatility. My pants are still
going strong after 35,000 kilometres
(about 23,000 miles) of riding.
Until next time remember that
snowmobilers care about the envi-
ronment too.

Novices tie Royales
On Sunday the Blyth Novice
Local League team visited the
Milverton Royales.
After three grueling periods of
great hockey the score was tied 4-4.
With the help of the entire team,
Michael McDowell had a tremen-
dous game scoring four goals.
This tie gave the team great incen-
