The Huron Expositor, 1983-05-11, Page 11Minor sports BY SUSAN HUNDERTMARK . Seaforth is well-known for its involve- ment in sports; it has produced top calibre athletes such as Lloyd Eisler and Johnny Neilsen and has worked together to provide facilities for athletes of all ages with the Seaforth and District Community Centre. Its involvement in minor sports is no exception. Instead of having difficulties attracting children and- their parents to register for minor baseball and soccer teams like other towns in the area, (Clinton is begging for involvement in these teams this year) Seaforth is experiencing higher registration than ever before. Both boys' and girls' houseleague booming , ball baseball teams have doubled, with four boys teams and three or four girls teams. And, soccer teams are also "holding their own", according to Bryan Peter, recreation director. Mr. Peter says that the high registration is "a nice problem to have." The minor sports teams have come a long way in the past few years and even though he has trouble getting parents involved in the summer months, he says he always -seems to recruit enough for each league. ••.••• The Easter Seal Society of Ontario is urging athletes to use a helmet to prevent head injuries. It cites statistics that in PICNIC FROZEN ORANGE JUICE 12.5 OZ. • l NABOB COFFEE 738 GM. REG, 6.99 99 DARE' COOKIES Chocolate Chip AND Chocolate Fudge 49 450 GM. REG. 2.09 registration is up 1980 more than 4,500 Canadians, one- quarter of them children, died of injuries from a severe blow to the head. It also says that independent studies done at hospitals across Canada show that sports and recreation activities are the second most common cause of injury in children and youths up to age 19. Seaforth has been fairly lucky over the years, says Dr. Paul Brady, of the Seaforth Medical Clinic. In his 40 years of medical practice, he says he has seen cuts and a couple of broken noses but no severe head injuries caused by sports activities. But, even so, Dr. Brady agrees that it's a good .ea for athletes to wear helmets to protect their heads from injury. When choosing a helmet for hockey, motorcycling and snowmobiling, look for the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) mark inside. Helmets for other activities (football, baseball) don't have to meet those requirements, so look for one made by a reputable manufacturer. The helmet should fit snugly but not put pressure all over the head - or at any particular point. It should have a mouth - guard if used for contact sports and a chin or neck strap to keep it secure on impact. A helmet only works once, so if it has protected your head in an accident and especially if it has a crack in it, buy a new VALLEY FARM 'FROZEN' FRENCH FRIES 28 . 99 1 KG REG 77 FAMILY PACK SCHWEPPES .GINGER ALE 6-750 ML.
