Sports
From the stands
By Anne NarQjke
Change seasons,.change sports
With the change of seasons comes the
change of sports. Although the NHL is
preparing for playoffs, local hockey action
is quickly coming to an end while, baseball
registration, coaching and umpire clinics
are underway.
Baseball is the first sport to enter my
mind when I think of spring sports, just as
hockey is the first sport that comes to mind.
in the winter. This is probably because
they're the favorite past times, but there are
plenty of other activities that one can
partake in during the spring and summer
months.
One sport that I plan to participate in this
year is hiking. I find the spring and fall
months to be my favorites for taking a
leisurely stroll along a beaten path. Spring
offers budding trees overhead, plants
coming to life at the side of the path and
newborn animals scurrying about. Even the
small streams and brooks seem fresher as
they flow freely once again.
Bicycling used to be one of my favorites as
well On a quiet Sunday I'd get on my bike
and peddle around the neighborhood, stop
off at the local variety store and grab a
Popsicle or ice cream cone.
When I was in good physical shape and
loved to run around the soccer field until I
could hardly breathe. Now, I just can't keep
up with the pace of the game.
Joggers must enjoy the -crisp spring air.
They work up a sweat in the spring, just as
they do in the summer, but the spring sweat
is from the exercise and not lagrely due to
the hot glimmer heat
The avid golfer will soon be polishing his
clubs, stocking up on balls and tees for the
upcoming season. Those who, are really into
the game have probably already
contemplated, if not actually gone out to a
vacant field to drive some,golf balls.
I've heard many people say that golfing is
a relaxing form of recreation. They enjoy
walking over the golf course and
occasionally stopping to swing a club.
Although I enjoy golf, I can't say that I
find it relaxing. This is probably because I
don't hit the ball very far and I find myself
swinging my clubs more than I'm walking.
There are paenty of other sports to take
part in during the upcoming months.
Baseball can mean anything from fastball to
three -pitch to slo-pitch. Roller skating is
also good exercise, and we must not forget
that the local towns have a good variety of
exercise programs for people of all ages to
take part in.
The Vanastra Recreation Centre also
offers many swirom.ing classes to help
prepare the non -swimmers for the
upcoming summer months as well as public
swimming for those who would like to brush -
up on their skills.
So when the seasons change, don't look at
it as the end of a hockey or broomball year,
think of it as the beginning of a new sporting
adventures.

Loss ends Atoms' season
On. Good Friday the Clinton Atoms travell-
ed to Durham to represent the "CC"
champs at the W.O.A.A. Grand Champion-
ships. Friday turned out to be not very good
as they, ran smack into a strong "B" cham-
pion with the name of the Listowel Cyclones.
In earlier games this season, Clinton had
met'Listowel twice in tournament play. In.
Harriston last November., Listowel defeated
Clinton 7-3 and at the Brussels Tournament
in March, Clinton bowed 4-3 to the Listowel -
team. , Clinton had defeated Listowel 5-3 on
Clinton's Minor Hockey Weekend. But on
this mild, rainy; afternoon. Clinton ended
their fine season on a losing note as Listowel
won a shootout by a score of 7-5.
Listowel took a 2-1 lead after one period as
Shawn Chi Y, < hose scored Clinton's lone -goal
of the period after falling behind 2-0 after
the first two minutes. •Jason Carter and
Scott Jewitt earned assists on the Chipchase
goal.
In the second period Shawn Chipchase's
breakaway goal gave Clinton a 2-2 tie at the
2:27 mark. Again, it was Jason Carter and
Scott Jewitt setting up the goal. After
Listowel took a 3-2 lead, Scott Jewitt's
screen shot from the point tied the score
again at 3-3. Jasan Carter and Jeff Riley
earned the assists. Before the period had
ended, Listowel again gained the lead 4-3.
In the third period it took Listowel 1:16 to
increase their lead to two goals but Shawn
Chipchase notched his third goal of the
game to pull Clinton within one goal again at
3:06. However, Listowel's Nathan Bender
scored to restore I,istowel's two goal advan-
tage. -
Shawn Chipchase gave Clinton life again
as he.scored hisfourthgoal of the game with
6:38 remaining to cut Listowel's lead to 6-5.
But two, bad penalties put Clinton in trouble
and Listowel capitalized on the power play
to score their final goal.
In the third period alone Clinton drew six
penalties and almost played the, entire
period shorthanded. Even • though Clinton
lost .Shawn Chipchase with his four goals
was a bright spot in the Clinton offence;
With these points Shawn reached the 100
point plateau with 68 goals and 32 assists.
Coaches Bob Livermore, Bill Hoggarth
and Mark Kennedy had nothing but praise
for their trooper§ and thanked them all at
the end'ofthe game for a wonderful season
— bringing home the W.O.A.A. Atom "CC"
championship.

utritio
for peak performanee
y Anne Narejko
Eatirig habits and an athlete's perfor-
mance go hand in hand. An excess of the
wrong types of food can hinder a perfor-
mance while the right nutrients will help
athletes reach their peak performance
level.
Cathy Thomson, Nutrition Consultant for
the Huron County Health Unit, and Sheryl
Gilbert,' Health Education Consultant, will
be speaking at a Nutrition for Peak Perfor-
mance workshop to be held in Clinton on
April 13.
According to Mrs. Thomson, the theme
will be nutrition and fitness, giving the au-
dience an overview of basic exercise and
fitness and how their food intake affects the
way their body reacts to the physical exer-
cise.
• •We have to go beyond the Canada's Food
Guide now because people know so much
more about nutrition What will he discuss-
ed could be called nutrition recommenda-
tions for Canadians," commented Mrs.
Thomson.
Four basic recommendations she gives to
those who take their nutrition and exercise
seriously are:
- a series of guidelines in disease prevention.
These guidelines will help athletes put the
food guide into a balanced diet.
- reducing fat, sugar, alcohol and salt hi -
take. They are related to cancer and heart
disease, and although the diseases can not
be totally eliminated by cutting down on
these foods, it will help reduce the chances
of getting the disease.
- emphasis on whole grain breads and
cereals, fruits and vegetables opposed to
taking vitamin supplements. By taking too
many vitamins, an athlete could harm his
body, caiusing weakness in muscles and
making him feel listless.
- by controlling -food -intake idiet4 and exer-

cise, athletes can reach and maintain their
ideal weight.
During the workshop, a film will be shown
on nutrition for sports followed by,a discus-
sion on fades and fallacies relating to sports
and a comparison of an athlete's diet to a
non -athlete's.
Topics such as pre -competition meals,
food amounts for athletes, protein and
whether vitamin pill supplements improv
an athletes performance or not are on the
agenda.
Mrs. Thomson says meals should be con-
sumed three to five hours prior to a competi-
tion in order. to allow the meal to be digested
properly. She also recommends that "low
fat, high carbohydrate meals" should be
eaten o that the body can digest the food
easily.
"High fat meals take longer to clear...and
the nutrients don't go to the muscles. Car-
bohydrates are good for athletes because
they can be easily digested."
The myth that a soft drink or chocolate
bar right before a game will help give
Athletes that extra energy is untrue. The
body still needs three to five hours to proper-
ly digest these foods and give the nutrients
to the muscles.
The amount of food an athlete should eat
depends upon the sport they are par-
ticipating in.
"Heavy training or competition means
more food," said Mrs. Thomson. "People
who don't eat or drink before a competition
so that they can weigh-in are not right.- It
takes 24-36 hours to re-hydrate...There's no
way they can do that between the weigh-in
and the competition."
She also said that many people have
Bulimia or Anorexia Nervosa because they
eat before a competition and then force
themselves to be sick. She states that/ this
practise is very unhealthy for the body.
An athlete's requirement for protein is
slightly higher than the average person's,
but because their "food intake is increased,
they get enough protein, The muscle is
predominatly made up of protein and
water," said Mrs. Thomson who believes
the best way to increase muscle is to place
stress on it.
Vitamin supplements have never been
proven to better art athlete's performance.
If the athlete has a well balanced diet, they
will receive enough vitamins.
The April 13 workshop will be open to
fitness leaders, coaches, parents of children
involved in sports or anyone who would like
to know how they can reach their peak per-
formance in sports.
A $10 fee will be charged to those in-.
terested in attending, with a personal kit on
nutrition, fitness activities and .a quiz
prepared by the Ontario Dietetic Associa-
tion to be handed. out. -Anyone wishing to at-
tend is asked to phone Mrs., Thomson at the
Health Unit in Goderich.
