New pad ready for 88-89 season
So you thought there wasn't an-
other inch on• your body, that could
be covered with protective etluip-
ment.
You were wrong.
•Dr. Howard Fisher of Toronto has
invented the 'back strip". a protec-
tive -pad which runs the length of
the spine. Being marketed by Back
Strip Canada Inc., the pad is de-
signed "to reduce the effects of low-
velocity trauma to the spinal arca of
the back, from the base of the neck
to the tailbone". '
It can also be used for high con-
tact sports such as football and la-
CroSSe.
The pad apparently absorbs the
initial impact of a hit and diffuses
the force of the blow by spreading
it over a larger arca. Made of a com-
bination of layers of plastic and
"cross-linked closed cell foam", it is
lightweight and flexible -- a charac-
teristic which allows it to conform
' to the natural curves of the spine.
MacLeans. Sports on Main St.
North in Exctcr is the only sports
store ,which has the pad in stock
right now, but Ron Bogart, owner
of RSD Sports Den plans to carry
the equipment soon.
Canadian Tire was unawareof the
new pad, but it was noted that their
policy was to wait until new prod-
ucts have proved their worth on the
market before, they put them on the
shelves.
"It's a good idea. It's comforta-
ble," Don Keeping, sports depart-
ment manager at MacLeans said of
the pad after trying it on. Keeping
noted that it filled in a spot where
there is no protection from the
shoulder pads. You wcar the back
strip by stepping through leg loops
and fastening the waist and chest
harness in place.
"For the guys that stand in front
of the net -- once they sce one guy
with it, they'll all want it." Keep-
ing said.
MacLeans is selling the pad in
clic S20 -S25 range.
While Bogan thinks the pad is a
good idea, he hopes that the extra
protection doesn't make checks
from behind more acceptable. Many
people believe the mandatory use of
hennets and visors has caused an
out -break of high -sticking infrac-_
tions in minor and tunior hockey.
Fisher, the inventor of the pad,
expects the back strip to become
standard equipment on the ice in the
future. •
"Few people realize that the spine
has less natural protection than the
head," Fisher exfrlained: "If you
wouldn't play a contact sport with-
out a helmet, you shouldn't be
playing without spinal protection."
Russ Cortnall, Michel Goulet
and Jcff Jackson are among NHL
players who are currently wearing
the pad.
As Leo Ezcrias, outside lineback-
er for -Hamilton Tiger Cats says,
"The people I hit will need this."
Co-ops ° could . muster until the
ninth when Darren Neil scored Gre-
gus with a sacrifice fly:
The hardest Toss came' for Exeter
in game two when they let a 5-1
lead slip away in the seventh on the
backs of three unearned runs. Lake-
side pushed six runs across the.
plate inthat fateful seventh inning
and then followed it with two more
in the ninth to better an additional
three Exeter runs.
Terry Cox was on the mound for
Exeter. He allowed 11 hits, striking
out five and walking two.
The Exeter play of the game oc-
curred when Schade hit a two RBI
triple in . the top of the fourth to
give Co-ops a two run lead.
Russell was on the mound in
game one of the series. He allowed'
eight hits and struck out eight op-
ponents. Darren Neil came into re-
place. Russell in the bottom of the
fifth. Neil allowed two hits, walked
four and struck out four in the ef-
fort. Neil also hit a two RBI single

IS YOUR PROPANE REFRIGERATOR
A POTENTIAL KILLER?
Nobody in their right mind would keep a life-threatening appliance in their home. Yet. thousands of
people have propane refrigerators that can produce deadly amounts of carbon monoxide if they're
not properly vented and cleaned. ,
Every year in Ontario an'average of three fatalities result. from the use of unserviced propane
refrigerators. Several more people require hospitalization for carbon monoxide poisoning.
To eliminate the risk. remove your propane refrigerator to an outdoor shelter or buy a new
refrigerator, which is now required to be vented outdoors. like those used in recreational vehicles
and mobile homes.
We also advise you to have the refrigerator cleaned and serviced regularly, especially before
start up and every time it's moved. That way. rust. scale. Insects or anything that's blocking the
combustion system will be removed.
For answers to your questions or to obtain a do-it-yourself booklet on servicing. call the Fuels
