Jason Rodney finished the scoring by finishing off a.fine three way passing play by Rem Murray and Steve Ryan. The'. final score was 4 to 0 in favor of St. Columban, however the score could have been higher if it wasn't for the London Ap- polo'sgoalkeeper making excellent saves on Seafortit Wildcats in second place .

Golfers s'o l The recent accident that sent three golfers to .the hospital after they were struck by lightning -at an area golf course hasprompted me to once again .devote a week to the subject of .lightning on the golf course. For awe readers . it may seem repetitio ; ' t it ,:neer r^ brush up on s,;, rules that;:.+,,....s.e your life. Every year golfers are struck .and .in- jured by lightning.ron the golf;•aourse and more often than not these injuries van be prevented. Golfers are lmown.tto play in all manner of weather conditions but the one type of weather that doesn't -mix with golf at all is a thunderstorm! This is .thunderstorm season. Those large thunderclouds can build ,up in no time and if you're out on the golf course you may find yourself in a dangerous situation. Golfers are very often victims of the awesome power of lightning bolts. Three well %known golfers who have had first hand experience with lightning are Bobby Nichols, Jerry Heard, .and Lee Trevino. Needless to say, each has developed a great respect for -this super- charge of electricity. In June 1975 at a tournament in Illinois, Nichols was stunn- ed by a lightning bolt when it struck nearby. Trevino and Heard who had seen this from another hole, took shelter under .an umbrella. Lightning struck a nearby pond, travelled through the ground ,and vp Trevino's putter, which he was leaning on. "The force knocked both men to the ground. All three golfers were rushed to hospital and fortunately they only suf- fered from minor burns. Lightning is a serious matter and many .golferssare:killed or injured -,each year by these ,highly charged .bolts from the sky.

"The player shall ..not ;discontinue ,play on Account .of .bad .weather or for any :other reason ,unless: He considers that ,there be danger from lightning." . BIG EFFORT - Michael Van Bakel gives this jump everything he's got in track and field action involving St. James Separate School last week. Mcllwraith photo. ave resect for lightning ON E GREENS by Carolanne noig Afternoon, when golfers are out in abundance is the time of greatest risk, with 70 percent of deaths and injuries from lightning occurring between noon and 6 p.m. If you should be caught on a course in a thunderstorm there are a few rules of thumb to lessen the risk. 1. Throw down your clubs and your um- brella and stay away from.the flagsticks. You don't want to be holding or be close to metal objects. ' 2. Avoid standing ,under a ;single tree. Single trees are ideal lightning targets and 15 percent of lightning victims are injured while under a single tree. 3. The further you are from a water body the better, and also stay away from small shelters and lone buildings in open areas. 4. A large building or your car is the safest place to ;seek ,shelter, but if you find yourself in the middle of an open fairway, which is the last place you want to be, .seek out the lowest ground possi- ble. Even a dutch or a dry culvert will be of some protection. If you have no protection and are in the middle of the fairway, stay away from your clubs, crouch low. Wrap your arms around your knees and lower your head. Then you will be as low as possible and still have very little body area on the ground. Should someone in your group get bit, don't be afraid to help him. He is not charged! He could be suffering from ,barnsandashock. Very often the stunned victim appears to ,be stead, there is no ,breathing or ,pulse. tie needs cardio- pulmonary resuscitation immediately!! It's a ,good ddea to brush up on this life- saving .skill. Keep :on eye on the -joky and listen to the weather reports before heading out onto the golf course. Many times the golfer could have made it to the clubhouse ahead of the storm, but didn't pay close enough attention. Give lightning the respect it deserves and, then go out and enjoy your favorite sport n safety. • RULE OF THE WEEK 25/2 Over flow from Water Hazard Question: If a pond (water hazard) has overflowed, is the overflew casual water?
