Optimist tournament
Anyone looking for some entertainment
this weekend might like to drop in at the
Clinton Arena. It sounds like things could
be hopping over there with the Optimist
Ball Hockey Tournament in progress.
The action will kick off on Friday night
at 7:30 when the Clinton Warriors meet the
Junior Farmers from Edgmondv.ille.
The Optimists have been planning the
tournament since December, so hopefully
it should prove to be a good one.
The caliber of play should also be high
since all of the teams involved are from
different ball hockey leagues. Included in
the play will be 16 men's teams and 12
women's. The teams will come from
Egmondville, Auburn, Brussels, Blyth,
Dublin, Elora, Teeswater, Seaforth,
Belgrave and, of course, Clinton.
According to one of the Optimists involv-
ed in the organization of the tournament,
Jeff Gautreau, this tournament is one of
the best money makers for the club. In
past years this tournament has proven
itself to be a success.
Hopefully this fourth annual tournament
will live up to its reputation. The action
will run steadily from 7:30 p.m. on Friday
until 1 a.m. It will pick up again on Satur-
day at 12:30 p.m. and run until 1:30 that
night. Sunday's activities will run from
7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
Those that pay the $1 entrance fee won't
have to worry about freezing in the arena
either. The bar will be open upstairs on
Friday evening, Saturday afternoon and
evening and Sunday afternoon.
The Optimists are trying something a lit-
tle bit different for this year's tournament
in the form of a dance on Saturday night.
They are hoping that the D.J. music of
"Sound Trek" will keep the people around
a bit longer.
The ball players will be admitted into the
dance for free while the general public will
be charged a nominal $2 fee. It will run
from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m.
Once again, if you're looking for some
fun and sport this, weekend, drop over to
the arena and give the Optimists your sup-
port. It could be a good time.
Cold turkey
They said it couldn't be done. I guess it's
a good thing I don't listen to everything
they say.
Anyone who may have read my New
Year's column will know that I set my
sights on giving up on cigarettes using the
method of will power.
I'm glad to report that my will power has
held out, and I think I've got the habit
kicked.
It's been a lot easier than I thought it
would be, but maybe the hard part is still
to come. Hopefully ( and doubtfully) not.
On the other side of the coin, I also men-
tioned getting into great shape to combat
the nicotine withdrawal symptoms.
Unfortunately, I haven't totally lived up
to this part of the bargain, but I'm giving
myself until Frisbee season starts to get
into shape. I'll get back to you on that.
