Lancers played strong right to the end The Lucknow Lancers had a great 2008-09 season this year and it was fun covering the home games for most of the season. What I got a kick out of was how communitysupported their team no matter if they were winning or losing. That commitment was seen at the very first game I attended way back in November. It was a rough start to the season for the Lancers, but they still had their fans out all season. It's a bit of a change for me as I covered a AAA budget team during my time as the sports editor last year up in Kirkland Lake. Watching Senior A hockey was night and day because there is a lot more aggression in the games. You could obviously see that aggres- sion whenever Lucknow and Ripley got together. There is no love lost there..and that was evident in the A playoff - round where a few of the games almost turned into bench clearing brawls. Another thing that was amazing was how passionate the team was. about playing for Lucknow. In interviewing a lot of the players and coaches over the season it was evident how much pride they had for playing for the Lancers. I remember tanking to Lancer goalie • Erol Kahraman after a tough loss and he was a little down, but it didn't stop him from saying how much he loved playing for the team That type of pride could be seen every time the Lancers scored a goal. It gave the team an instant boost and their .1e el of play always picked up after a goal. It's probably why they made it all the way to the A championships this year. It was an exciting year watching the Lancers play their hearts out each and: every home game to :the multitude of Lucknow tes that came. out to support their team. Ican't wait for the (upcoming season to watch some mote rough and; tumble and exciting hockey. The'season starts back up in October and it will be great to see the red, yel- low and white back on the ice! Salons working to fight breast cancer When women g� to their hair salon this month, they may find themselves talking to their stylist about an impor- tant topic; preventing breast cancer. Health Units across Southwestern Ontario are working with select hair salons on a pilot project, Be a Breast Friend, a campaign to raise awareness about the importance of breast health. "Salons are places where women have time to talk and socialize with their stylist. Clients trust and listen to their stylists." says Public Health Nurse, Wendy Beckett. Throughout April, stylist at participating salons in Grey Bruce will be handing out Be a Breast Friend information packages to interested clients. Stylists will also be encouraging women age 50 and older to call the Ontario Breast Screening Program to book a matnmogram. Breast cancer is the most common- ly diagnosed cancer in women in Ontario. For women age 50 and older, the risk of breast cancer increases. Finding breast cancer early improves treatment options and survival rates. A mammogram is a breast x-ray that can find changes in the breast even whr:n the changes are too small to feel. Unfortunately, many women fail to have regular mammograms. Currently in Grey Bruce. only 42 per cent of women age 50 to 69. participate in reg- ular screening : through the Ontario Breast ScreeniniProgram.. What Every Woman Should Know - Be aware of how your breasts -nor- mally look and feel. Talk to, a doctor or nurse practitioner about any changes. • Ask a doctor or nurse practitioner to examine your breasts every one to two years. - If you are between the ages 40 and 49, discuss whether you need a mam- mogram with a doctor or nurse practi- tioner. - Women age 50 and older should have a mammogram at least every two years. Women can book their own appointment by calling the Ontario Breast Screening Program in Owen Sound at. 519-376-8637 or - in Walkerton at 519-881-4030. No doc- tor's referral is needed and there is no cost. - Reduce your risk of breast cancer: maintain a healthy weight, eat well, be 'active, limit alcohol, live smoke free and be screened.
