Here it looks as though a shot is headed towards the net. Road hockey The tradition continues Photos by Fred Groves T -A staff It's a tradition which has been relived for decades. When the heat of the sun licks away at those last piles of snow along the roadside and when those hockey sticks which have still got a few more shots left in them scrap along the pavement, that's when the fiat begins. This is road hockey. There are no offsides, no icing and if you shoot the ball out of the imaginary- boundary, it's proper manners if you volunteer to go and get it. Last Wednesday at the South Huron Recreation Centre, the game of hockey moved from the cold, big ice surface just a few yards away to good old-fashioned three -on -three road hockey. Over_2o teams took part in the March Break activity and those w)io competed and even the moms and dads who watched from the sidelines, couldn't have had nicer weather. Jackets were shed, running shoes became the means of movement instead of skates and loud screams of joy when a goal was scored echoed across the ball diamonds. Road hockey is the binding link between ice hockey and baseball. It's a tradition that will continue just as long as there is hockey and as long as young people continue to enjoy it. On Wednesday, the Dream Team beat the Farm Team in a wild sudden -death overtime win to take the 'A' title of the 13-14 year- old division. The Head Hunters topped the Exeter Red Wings for the 'B' crown in the 12 team division. In the 11 12 year-old division, the Park Sharks heat the Road Warriors on the 'A' side while the Fireballs beat Road Jockies in the 'B'. The six -team 9-10 year-old division was won by the Road Run- ners who beat the Red Canadians for the 'A' while Dangerous De - kers beat the Steelers in the 'B' game. Tools of the trade of road hockey await the next game.

In fact, even 1 inch heels can do this. It's best to choose shoes with heels no higher than 1/ 2 inch. Nutrition tip: Beans (kidney, navy, etc.) are a great food. They contain both soluble and insoluble fibre, vitamins and miner- als. And 26% of the calories are from protein and only 6% is from fat. They even lower blood cholesterol. Do you get a headache from drinking red wine (even in moderation?) It is thought that certain ingredients in red wine (not white) trigger the re- lease of "prostaglandins", chemicals in the body that dilate blood ves- sels causing pain.

If the grass seems very dense and matted, you can help by giving the lawn a good. vigorous raking. Remove the piles of material and add them up to your compost pile. This raking opens up the tum to allow light, water and fer- tilizer penetration. It stimulates the grass plant and makes the lawn look much better. If your lawn is very sparse and you have had serious problems with crabgrass in precious years, you may wish to apply a crabgrass control This material must be applied very early in the spring because it stops the crabgrass roots as they begin to grown. After a crabgrass control has been applied, the soil surface should not be disturbed in any way Raking or digging will destroy the Affectiveness of the crabgrass control material.
