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. + + + • Winners of the March Junior C 300 Booster Club draw•were H.R.

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.

Jayson Carter Mark Livermore 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- Cathy Thomson, Nutrition Consultant for the Huron County Health Unit located eh Goderich., looks ovet a kit which will he distributed to participants in the Nutrition for Peak Performance workshop.

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.
