Times-Advocate, 1981-01-28, Page 24Page 24 Times -Advocate, January 21, 1911 A NOSE DIVE - Bill Jennison tumbles face first down one of the many snow hills created by snow plows. Fortunately, his Staff photo face was protected. Mary's musings BY MARY ALDERSON If you haven't been out to the local arena lately, you really should catch the little fellows playing hockey. It's a lot more fun to see a novice team play hockey than an N.H.L. team. For one thing, the novice games are much easier to follow. These young guys give you plenty of time to keep track of the action. For example, when the puck is dropped in a face off, it usually lies on the ice a few seconds before anyone takes a swing at it. You can easily follow the direction it's going to take. Sometimes the puck is even fanned, a few times before it slides away. My husband has been coaching a novice team thin winter. I went along• Saturday to see them play in a tournament. It was a very close game - we were ahead 3-2 in the last few minutes of play. The other team pulled their goalie, and put an extra man on the ice -after a great deal of confusion over where' he should stand. Because a lot of these little fellows seem to miss what's going on at the other end of the big, long arena, Victor thought he should tell his players that the other team had pulled their goalie. "Empty net," Victor shouted at the left winger. The little guy peered through his face mask down the ice at the net, and then looked back at Victor, very puzzled. "Why?" he asked. I guess pulling -the -goalie strategy hasn't yet been discussed at practise. Kids enjoy their winter sports, and this year they've had the snow for it. Grand Bend Public School children had great fun at Pinery Park a couple of weeks ago. The most popular winter sport that day was "in- nertubing". Toboggans and skis sat idle, while big tractor tire innertubes were hauled up the hill time and again. The more air in the tube, the faster the ride. The kids would see how many they could pile on, sometimes holding two and three tubes together. Then down the hill they'd go, plowing through the snow. When they reached the bottom, everyone was covered white with snow. 1 know -- I tried it. Can someone explain how snow can get under your sweater between your shoulder blades, even when you're COLT -'uREM SERVICES INC. What do we do? We handle Trust Com- pany ,GIC's. RRSP's.

And still with kids - I've had the pleasure of teaching a Sunday school class recently. It hasn't been easy staying ahead of the questions from a group of 11 year olds. This week's lesson was on being a Christian - why we should turn the other cheek, and not seek revenge for revenge's sake. It was difficult to explain why one of the hostages shouldn't go back to Iran in a B-52 bomber. Near the end of the class, one young fellow informed me he was glad he wasn't a Christian -- they always come knocking on the door asking for money. That's when we had to back -track and go over some of the lesson again. Toe tapping music gets seniors dancing Around 40 gathered Wednesday afternoon, at St. Johns Parish hall, for the Golden Age club fun af- ternoon.
