sportsfiles Christine Scollard: the dream for speed course. She achieved her first win at the Super Pro level in 2013, going through six rounds of racing to capture the title. Christine also races on the quarter-mile track and achieves speeds of 125 miles per hour and times of 10.501 seconds.

Article by Scott Cherwaty, Photos by Joe Scollard Christine Scollard’s drag racing career started at 10 years old when her father, Joe Scollard, wanted to spend more time with his daughter, as well as keep her out of trouble. That Christmas, there was a junior dragster sitting in the Scollards’ hallway for Christine. She still wonders, to this day, how Dad got the dragster into the house.

However, that summer when it was time to get in the dragster to try some racing time trials, Christine would not get in.

Kathy Scollard, her mom, climbed into the dragster and did a few time trails to show Christine how easy it was. Christine finally got in, but her first reaction was that it was too slow — at just 35 miles per hour. Shortly after that, Christine fell in love with racing and the sport.

Christine started racing at Shannonville Motor Sports Park, with one-eighth mile races, where she was achieving that in 16 seconds at 35 miles per hour level to start off. At 12 years old, Christine was up to 46 miles per hour and a time of 13.01 seconds on the one-eighth mile track.

Her progression continued, and at 16 years old she was up to 69 miles per hour and 9.42 seconds. At this speed and time, she won the Junior Dragster Championship at Shannonville in 2007. The next jump was to compete in the Super Pro Class, but she took a year off in 2008 to train and get ready for this level. In 2009, Christine won the Rookie of the Year award at Shannonville, achieving speeds of 100 miles per hour and taking 6.68 seconds to complete the one-eighth mile

Christine continues to race today, as she loves the speed and adrenaline rush she gets from racing each time. She wants to prove that the girls and ladies can do this.

Right now it is a male-dominated sport, but more and more women are getting involved.

Christine’s dream is to accomplish speeds of 200 miles per hour one day, but that will take some work during the next five years, for sure. Last but not least, the sport allows her entire family to be involved — mom, dad and her brother Greg — as they all continue to work together on the team, and they attend all races together.

Her dad says, “Drag racing is all about math.”

Christine Scollard’s crew includes: Joe, Kathy, Greg, Richard Baker, Traci Bowers, Pauline Baker and Dean Baker. The sport, for the Scollards, is not about getting rich but rather having fun with family and friends, and hopefully winning some races.

Christine would not be able to race if it was not for these sponsors: Spoiled Sports, Polaris, Bruce Custom Fabricating, Airbrush Sign Shop, Sledarama, Kawartha Import Auto and Greg’s Property Maintenance.

Christine has had only one major crash, and that was in her junior dragster racing years when she went into the ditch and broke the frame of the dragster. This scared her at first, but one month later, once the dragster was repaired, she was right back behind the wheel and racing. Christine has been taught mostly by her dad but she also uses online training courses that help her with strategy at the starting and finishing lines.

Christine Scollard will continue her dream for speed and to win some races along the way, and this writer has no doubt she will achieve those goals, as she is confident and always repeats to herself, “You can do it.”

“You must realize that races are decided by thousandths of a second, so one little mistake is the difference from winning and losing,” says Christine.

Taking care of your body and mind Article and photos by Julianna Stonehouse We all know that exercise is good for our bodies, but we sometimes forget the positive effects that physical activity can have on our frame of mind. Take the emotion of stress, for example. When one becomes stressed, whether it’s due to an upcoming deadline at work, family issues or money troubles, you can “feel” the stress. Your body may respond with an upset stomach, shaking or trembling, a headache, low appetite, and the inability to sleep. Over a prolonged period of time these physical ailments can turn into chronic suffering and pain.

The benefit of daily activity goes far beyond supporting mental and emotional health than many people realize. According to the Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines, adults between the ages 16 and 84 years should try to achieve at least 150 minutes of

about making the time. The trick is to do something that you enjoy that gets you moving, like going for a walk, doing yard work, riding your bike to work, taking the stairs, or trying a new sport.

The mental benefits of exercise have a scientific basis. Exercise stimulates the production of endorphins, which are the “feel-good” chemicals in the brain that help elevate our mood. Endorphins are responsible for why people feel a “high” after a run or a hard workout. Exercise also helps reduce the hormones adrenalin and cortisol that the body produces when it is feeling stressed. It’s a win-win situation for our bodies.

In addition to keeping your heart and your body healthy, regular activity provides many emotional benefits. You may develop a

renewed sense of confidence and pride as your fitness improves and as you achieve exercise goals. Participating in exercise can be a distraction and a chance to “get away”

from the worries and stressors you are facing. Many people who participate in an activity with others develop stronger social connections and networks. These connections are all important to a healthy, well-rounded life. Let’s not forget to mention that activity helps improve energy levels and better equips you to face the challenges that your day may bring.

The summer is a great time of year to take better care of yourself by incorporating physical activity into your lifestyle. With the warmer weather, there are so many opportunities to get outside and find fun ways to be active.

When life dishes out more than you think you can handle, take a deep breath and move your body. You will be surprised how much it helps!

sportshistory

The beginning of the Petes Article by Don Barrie, Photos courtesy of Peterborough Sports Hall of Fame Fifty-eight years ago this summer, in 1956, Peterborough was abuzz. The new Memorial Centre, a building the citizens had been anticipating for over two decades and had donated to its eventual final cost of $830,000, was near completion. Some serious debate was going on in the city concerning the major hockey tenant for the arena. Senior A hockey was big in those days. Two nearby rival cities in hockey, Whitby and Belleville, had successful senior teams, both of which won world hockey titles. Other hockey people favoured Junior A hockey. All Junior A teams in those days were sponsored by one of the six NHL teams, and they supplied players, coaches and financial expertise.

Some names in the local sports news that summer included Ray Theberge, a defenseman for the Peterborough Trailermen lacrosse team. Ray was pictured in the Examiner in mid-August swimming in the Trent Canal. He was preparing to take part in the CNE’s Cross Lake Ontario marathon swim set for August 27. Ray later married Marilyn Clapper, daughter of Hockey Hall of Famer inductee and Peterborough resident Dit Clapper. Their son, Greg, and grandson, Brett, both played for the Petes.

A softball pitcher, Ray Judd tossed a no-hitter against St. Catharines before a large crowd in East City Bowl and golfing legend Moe Norman won the Kawartha Tournament that summer.

The question was answered early that summer when the Montreal Canadiens announced they were moving one of their four junior teams, the Kitchener Canucks, to Peterborough to play out of the new Memorial Centre in 1956.

On August 22nd, the executive of the new Petes hockey team announced the team’s sponsor, the Toronto-Peterborough Transport Company and the trainer, the well-known Gunner Lynch. But with training camp a few weeks away, they still had no coach. The team would be known as the TPT Petes.

The other major tenant of the new building was the senior lacrosse team, the Trailermen. They had no choice of moving into the Memorial Centre since the city tore down their home, the outdoor Miller Bowl.

On August 27th, Petes manager, Herb Payne, travelled to Timmins as the Montreal Canadiens held the team’s first try-out camp.

Thirty players skated before some Canadiens’ scouts and officials, and Herb Payne.

Little was said about the new hockey team during September as the city’s attention was taken up with the senior lacrosse team playing for the Mann Cup in Toronto. The Nanaimo Timbermen, led by three former Peterborough lacrosse stars, Arn Dugan, Don Ashbee and Bob Allan, defeated the Trailermen in five games.

Finally, on October 1st, the Canadiens got around to announcing the Petes first coach.

Calum (Baldy) MacKay, a Toronto born 29-year-old, was then trying out with the Cleveland Barons, of the American Hockey League when he sustained a knee injury.

Baldy, so nick-named because of his ample head of hair, was unable to continue his playing career, and he was named the first coach of the Petes. The Canadiens’ Frank Selke described him to the Peterborough media as “a brainy type.”

Just over a week after his appointment, on October 9th, MacKay was on the Civic Arena ice, the city’s only hockey rink at that time, conducting the first Petes’ official training camp with 36 prospects made up of Canadiens’ signees, free agents and a few

local players. Fifteen Canadiens-signed prospects that had been ticketed for Peterborough after the August camp in Timmins were already in the city, having enrolled in local high schools after Labour Day. Helping coach Baldy MacKay and manager Herb Payne was Canadiens’ chief scout Lou Passadore.

Two local players who were not on the ice were Pat Baker, Peterborough’s junior lacrosse goalie, and goaltender George Kemp. Both of these boys belonged to the Detroit Red Wings and were in Hamilton’s camp.

Two Peterborough players, signed earlier

by Montreal and who played junior hockey in Montreal in the 1955-56 season, Bill Mahoney and Val Armstrong, were on the ice.

The night of the Petes first-ever practice, the NHL started the 1956-57 season with the annual All-Star game in Montreal. The Canadiens, as defending Stanley Cup champions, played the all-stars from the other five NHL teams.

While the new Petes were toiling with evening practices, workers worked around the clock to finish the Memorial Centre.

The opening game for the Petes was only three weeks away.

Cec Purdue, Examiner Sports Editor, in an article published October 12th, 1956, wrote that 7,000 fans could be packed into the new Centre. That was an over-optimistic prediction. The largest crowd in the Centre before the 2004 renovation was an estimated 5,500 for a Mann Cup lacrosse

game in 1978. That night, people were standing along the boards and sitting in every aisle. This number exceeded all fire regulations. The local fire marshal must have been on holidays or inside enjoying the game.

On October 19th, the Petes played their first pre-season game in Barrie. They lost 4–3.

RICE or MEAT?

By Josh Martin RMT, SMT(cc), CKTP, CMAG

To clarify, this is not a debate about what is for dinner tonight!

For years, the go-to recovery or post-injury intervention has always been ice.

The theory of RICE, or Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation, has been used to reduce the inflammatory process. This inflammatory process was once thought to be detrimental to the healing process and that edema was actually damaging tissue. However, we have now come to realize that this process is actually what is needed to heal and repair damage especially to ligaments, muscle and tendons where vascular supply or blood flow is particularly poor compared to other tissue. We certainly all do it; once an injury occurs we immediately reach for the frozen bag of peas or ice pack and may even take some anti-inflammatory medication (NSAIDS). Gabe Mirkin, the doctor who actually coined the acronym RICE in the late 1970s, has now declared ice more harmful than helpful.

Why is inflammation important?

Here is the quick version: Inflammation is, essentially, the body’s immune response to injury. This substance brings certain tissue hormones, bradykinin and histamine, which dilate the smaller blood vessels in the area to increase blood flow to the site of injury.

This increase in vessel size and permeability allows for increased plasma to enter the site, which will then aid in collagen scar formation (scar tissue), and healing.

So why have we continued to prescribe RICE as our first response to a twisted ankle, sprained knee or torn muscle?

From personal experience and from working for years with high level athletes, the answer is simply comfort. Ice numbs those receptors in the skin that cause us to feel pain, therefore essentially tricking the brain into thinking we are feeling better.

However, science is telling us a different

12

PeterboroughSportsXpress.ca

story — and it may be hard to accept the alternative!

There are two new acronyms that are starting to circulate among health practitioners and athletic trainers. METH: Exercise, Treatment and Heat, and MEAT: Movement, Exercise, Analgesic Visit us (pain meds like Tylenol for example), and Treatment. These are not meant to replace our use of RICE, but more to compliment the healing process.

online at www.returntofunction.net

Movement: Controlled movement of the affected area can stimulate blood flow, reduce the formation of inappropriately aligned scar tissue (collagen fibers mentioned above), and therefore improve recovery.

Exercise: Exercise is closely related to movement and needs to be controlled and prescribed carefully with consideration as we don’t want to re-injure the area. Active Range of Motion (AROM), simple strength and proprioceptive exercises will enhance recovery.

Analgesic: This refers to the use of pain controlling medications during the early acute stages of injury, not anti-inflammatory drugs, as they interfere with the normal healing process as discussed. See your medical doctor for advice on these medications.

Treatment: This suggests seeking treatment from a health care professional, such as a physiotherapist, massage therapist, athletic therapist or chiropractor who can use alternative modalities to help encourage blood flow and tissue healing. Modalities such as manual therapy,

acupuncture, ultrasound, and electrotherapy (TENS, electro-acupuncture, etc.) are among some of the most common.

Although there is no significant comparative research to truly suggest one intervention over the other, the theoretical debate suggests a movement based approach to acute care may have increased healing capability. It should also be said, that the use of MEAT protocol is not intended for serious, acute ligament ruptures or complete tears of any tissue, for these require immediate medical attention and should not be moved to avoid further injury or damage.

In the world of Sport Medicine, we are built to opt for RICE! There will always be ongoing research into the optimal post injury interventions. This is simply meant as some “food for thought”!

Fresh meat training

Article by Christine Jaros Roller derby is the world’s fastest-growing sport and with good reason. It is fast and hard. The demands of the game are not limited to individual successes but rather, they foster group cohesion. At the end of the season the group is filled with a sense of accomplishment and a new list of goals.

Part of our season-end is the refreshing and fun task of inviting new members to join our growing family. Every September we start recruiting for rookie training or in derby vernacular, fresh meat.

Set yourself up for fitness success Article and Photos by Matt Pritchard, PTS With life finally returning to normal after a summer of outdoor adventures, family vacations, and work related obligations, we can now return to focus on our productivity a little more. Life can interfere with us striving for our personal physique goals, making it easy to fall off the exercise wagon.

One week turns into a month, quickly becoming a year. However, getting back into the swing of things doesn’t have to be hard.

Follow these four easy steps, and you’ll be back on track before another excuse can stop you.

Set yourself up for success. Setting lofty goals like losing 30 pounds can seem insurmountable. Instead, set a goal that can be measured and attained in a shorter time span. For instance, shoot for increasing your squat max by one rep or running a minute longer than you did the day before. You’ll feel successful when you hit your objective, motivating you to keep increasing your goal by one more repetition or one more minute.

Throughout the process, you’ll hit larger goals — like losing those 30 pounds — as well. And people who make slow and steady

entails two-hour workouts, six days a week.

Be consistent and set a goal of gym visits per week, not pounds lost or gained per week.

progress when losing weight are more likely to keep the pounds off, according to the Journal of Sports Science and Medicine.

Make mobility and flexibility a priority.

Dial it back in the weight room during your first workout back in the gym. The reason: If you go all out with heavy weights, you’ll be sore for the following few days, deterring you from the gym once again. Spice up your workout routine with some mobility drills and short yoga poses for a lengthy stretch.

Not only will you feel better all over, but you’ll have a better workout and be more likely to come back tomorrow.

Joining a fitness facility that has 24-hour access eliminates all excuses for time management. Getting out of the house for exercise is essential to productivity in the gym, as many of us get distracted at home by the many chores we must complete first.

Find a gym buddy. When it comes to sticking with an exercise routine, showing up is half the battle. Living in Ontario we all know there are many mornings when the temperatures drop below zero and motivation to get out of bed to work out is missing. Having a gym buddy is a great tool for success as you won’t let yourself down but someone else as well. Furthermore, new study from Michigan State University found people held planks 33 seconds longer when exercising with a partner than when holding the move alone. An audience will always push us to get that extra repetition and progress to our best success!

Spend five to 10 minutes practicing mobility and lengthen sore achy muscles with simple stretches. You can do it all at once or break it up into two-minute sets.

Holding stretching poses for 20 to 30 seconds each provides the most therapeutic benefits. It is also great for improving relaxation, while decreasing stress levels.

Spend some quality time with a foam roller. Like a deep massage, rolling unties the knots in your muscles by breaking down adhesions and scar tissue that may have built up during your time off.

Now join the rest of the hard-working folks at 24 Seven Family Gym, and get the workout your body craves for success!

Eliminate all obstacles. Don’t jump head-first into a program that requires you to buy expensive, new equipment or

Taking concussion assessment to the next level Article by Ian Horseman, B.Sc., D.C.

One of the best proven strategies in the management of concussions is creating an accurate and reliable baseline test for athletes.

+

Baseline tests are extremely important and are often required by sports leagues to protect themselves and their players.

Baseline tests are used to, first, determine the condition of the athlete before competition begins and second, to have comparative data if an injury does occur.

These baseline tests need to be performed yearly as athletes grow and change to ensure the most accurate reading possible.

The imPACT test has become the most popular test used and has become the gold standard for sideline testing. However, the imPACT test only analyzes the cognitive ability of the athlete at a success rate of 80 percent and does not address 90 percent of total brain function, which includes balance, reflexes and posture. This is where adding a test like C3 Logix to the standard imPACT test (developed by the Cleveland Clinic) would be an important step forward.

Recommendations issued by the International Consensus Conference on Concussion in Sport in 2012 call for a multi-faceted approach to diagnosing and treating mild traumatic brain injury (concussion) through assessment of symptoms, reaction time, memory and processing time, motor function, vision, balance and vestibulo-ocular reflex.

C3 Logix is an exciting new technology that addresses each of these components to give a thorough assessment of the patient’s brain health.

Like other concussion evaluation tools, C3 Logix includes a computerized

16

PeterboroughSportsXpress.ca

neurocognitive exam. In addition, however, C3 Logix tracks a patient’s dynamic vision reflexes and ability to visually focus on moving objects. The tool features a new battery of tests that effectively measures motor skills and balance through a unique iPad application.

When the iPad is strapped to a patient’s back, the program collects accelerometer and gyroscopic data to assess postural stability while the patient attempts various stances on both firm and soft surfaces.

C3 Logix is considered to be the most technologically advanced sideline screening available and is endorsed by the Carrick Institute, Harvard, and many NCAA Tier I teams. The organizations using this technology have the money and resources to bring the best equipment to their athletes.

This test, performed on an iPad, mixes cognitive tests with balancing, reaction time, recall, and reflex tasks to challenge and analyze the brain of an athlete. This system

allows us to quantify the severity of an injury by comparing immediate, post-injury assessment results to the baseline test.

To clarify, this test does not replace the imPACT test but is designed to work in conjunction with it to maximize detection and recovery from a head injury. However, when playing a contact sport like hockey, the task of saying the months backwards compared with being able to stand upright while being pushed seems pointless.

We are extremely excited to bring this technology to Peterborough and have already started our screenings for many of the sports teams in town. If you, your child, or your team is interested in being screened, please feel free to contact us and arrange a date. Our next article will focus on the science behind the videonystagmograph (VNG) our clinic has been using for advanced vestibular pathologies. The VNG is the gold standard when talking about detection of head trauma and balance problems.

Are you a concerned athlete, coach, trainer, or parent?

Do you or your athletes suffer from dizziness, headaches, vertigo, nausea, balance issues or light/sound sensitivity?

We are currently accepting athletes and sports teams of all ages for concussion screening, which includes: ≥ A baseline VNG and CAPS test with analysis, advanced cognitive concussion screening. ≥ A secondary assessment to determine after a trauma if a concussion has occurred.

Visit our website at www.fixedbrain.com to print and fill out our “Patient Intake Form” and “Neurological Consent Form” for your first appointment. Call to book your team NOW!

Call about Team Discounts!

Videonystagmography (VNG): By measuring simple eye movements, the VNG can determine which area of the brain has been affected by a trauma.

Comprehensive Assessment of Postural System (CAPS): The CAP system measures an individual’s balancing ability.

A patient should be able to maintain balance for 30 seconds eyes open and closed within a range 24% from centre.

We have successfully treated: Concussion patients, traumatic brain injuries resulting from motor vehicle accidents (MVA’s), anxiety and depression, chronic headaches, vestibular and balance problems.

We accept MVA claims!

Located on 7,000 feet of shoreline on Lake Katchewanooka, LCS is uniquely positioned to offer a breadth of waterfront activities.

Our sailing program allows students to lay the foundation for a love of watersports. It encourages students to be out on the water, to learn a new skill, and to have fun in the outdoors. Students participating on the sailing team practise at least four times per week, participate in weekly “intra-school”

their passion and hone their skills on the water while they were students at LCS. No experience is required! The sailing team at Lakefield College School is tailored to introduce beginners to the sport through the Canadian Yachting Association Learn to Sail Program and to appeal to more skillful sailors, who are encouraged to bring their own boats to the school.

drop and can cause weight gain, reduced libido, hair and memory loss. Men who tend Article by Erin Bell, RNCP, Holistic Allergist to feel “chilly” or cold should consider having a full thyroid check.

It’s his hormones! Men are just as affected by hormonal changes as women. Hormones play a role in hundreds of metabolic functions in our bodies. Virtually every cell is affected by the hundreds of hormones our bodies produce and rely on for cell-to-cell “communication.” Here’s a look at his hormones, rather than hers, as men age.

Testosterone: Typically, the most significant hormonal change is a decrease in testosterone levels. Testosterone is responsible for many functions including muscle and bone development, fat conversion (into muscle), libido, spatial recognition, critical thinking, insulin regulation and emotional/psychological reactions.

Estrogen: Estrogen is present in both males and females. As levels of body fat increase, estrogen increases because fat actually produces more estrogen. This can lead to andropause, or “male menopause”, which is linked to diabetes, heart disease, and prostate cancer.

Thyroid Hormones: Thyroid hormones

PeterboroughSportsXpress.ca

Melatonin: It’s the sleep hormone that helps govern circadian rhythm, or your internal “clock”. As men age, melatonin levels can decrease, resulting in less sleep and poor quality sleep, which in turn can disrupt normal sleep/wake cycles, leading to adrenal burnout and the potential for developing abnormal cells in the body.

Cortisol: The stress hormone. Normal cortisol levels are critical to our daily stress response and cortisol is good if we’re not overstressed. But if men are overstressed, cortisol levels can rise, and don’t even start me on what that can do to the body!

Overproduction of cortisol is just plain dangerous in the body.

Regulation of hormones is as important for men as it is for women. I suggest men have routine hormone checkups with their regular physical checkup each year.

Hormones are chemical messengers in the body and a simple blood test to detect high or low levels of hormones can alert men to potential health problems well before they develop into a state of disease of some sort.

If the “messengers” of the body are out of balance, there are some very easy ways to resume this system of cellular communication. Hormones are made from the nutrients we feed our bodies. Optimum nutrition is critical to hormone balance.

Try a whole foods diet, including many vegetables, foods high in B vitamins such as brown and wild rice, chicken, beans, and lentils. Moderate amounts of low-glycemic fruits like apples, peaches, pears, berries and plums are also good. Male hormones are better balanced with “red” foods, such as tomatoes, peppers, red grapes, beets and watermelon. Minerals, including zinc, selenium, and calcium and magnesium, are critical to hormonal balance. Eating a variety of fresh leafy greens, nuts and seeds as well as taking a whole food nutrition supplement that includes a good vitamin and mineral balance will improve male hormone balance.

Protein provides slow burning fuel and promotes lean muscle mass. The greater the lean muscle mass, the greater improvement in hormonal balance — specifically testosterone.

Hey guys, if you’re feeling a little down, flabby, irritable and sluggish, don’t worry, it’s just your hormones.

sportsfiles The three men in Stephanie’s life are also heavily involved in sports in Peterborough, with lacrosse being their sport of choice.

Husband Rob has played lacrosse since he was a kid. His father was involved, and Rob quickly took up the sport. Rob serves as VP of Rep for the Peterborough Minor Lacrosse Association (PMLA), coaches the Lakers Pee Wee 2 team and plays Masters Lacrosse.

Rob stated that, “Sports and coaching provide an opportunity to teach life lessons such as teamwork, communication, and building kid’s self esteem and self confidence.”

The Martinells — All in the family Article by David Fisher, Photo by the Martinell family Before meeting Stephanie Martinell, the family name was unfamiliar to me.

She expressed interest in coaching one of the Kawartha Komets hockey teams, and after going through the necessary checks and balances, the Komets were quick to sign her up.

Inquiring about her hyphenated surname, Eakins-Martinell, I learned that she is related to well-known coach, former Peterborough Pete and, at the time, Toronto Marlies coach, Dallas Eakins. Dallas spent the 2013-2014 season as head coach of the Edmonton Oilers. Perhaps some of Dallas’ expertise may have been picked up by his cousin or, more likely, Dallas got his coaching smarts from Ms. Martinell.

Two years later, Stephanie EakinsMartinell has made a name for herself among the Komets Intermediate players. Her passion for special needs individuals has been very evident, and Stephanie added to her portfolio recently by joining the Komets’ board of directors and serves the not-forprofit, charitable organization as Secretary.

In addition to her commitments to the Komets, Stephanie plays hockey for the B-52’s women’s team. She spends her weekdays employed as a supervisor at Stewart Homes, one of the very best providers of live-in care for challenged and fragile young individuals in Ontario.

Obviously Stephanie has a heart for these unique kids.

Ryley, 19, played for the Junior “C” Lakers this past season, losing out to Cornwall in the second round of playoffs. He won gold with the Intermediate Lakers at the provincial tournament and helped coach the Lakers Pee Wee 2 team. According to Ryley, it was a bigger thrill to win gold coaching the Pee Wee 2 team than winning as a player as he watched the kids come together as a team.

Reagan, 11, is involved in several sports including hockey, soccer and track and field, but like his dad and big brother, lacrosse is his favourite activity. Winning the gold medal recently in Nepean with the Lakers Pee Wee 2 team was a big thrill.

The Martinells’ daughter Kayla, 24, lives out west and is involved with Mpact, a Christian dance group which holds performances based on social issues such as addiction, poverty and abuse.

This closely-knit family literally “plays together,” and it’s plain to see that they’re all very proud of each other’s accomplishments.

National Rugby comes to Peterborough Article by John McGee

against the Rock in Newfoundland on Saturday, September 27th. The Wolf Pack, meanwhile, are already 2-0 with two wins over BC.

The game in Peterborough should be an exciting one, as the Blues are the three-time defending champions.

With the Rugby World Cup coming up in September of 2015 in England, Canadian coach Kieran Crowley and his staff will be watching this game closely as they make their selections for Canada’s national team.

Peterborough Rugby club president, Kevin Breese, is expecting over 500 spectators for the game at Nicholl’s Oval.

“We are very excited to host a game of this calibre. We have one of the nicest rugby facilities in the country, and we’re keen to show it off.”

Rugby is also about to make its return to the Olympic Games in Rio in 2016; it has not been a part of the Games since 1924.

The Peterborough Rugby Club is proud to host Ontario Blues versus Prairie Wolf Pack at Nicholl’s Oval on Sunday, September 21st.

Kickoff is at 1:00 p.m.

For more information: www.rugbyontario.com

The game is part of the Canadian Rugby Championship (CRC), which also includes the BC Bears and Atlantic Rock, and it will feature a number of players from Canada’s national team. National 7s team captain John Moonlight and national team hooker, Ray Barkwill, will be part of the Blues side, while scrum half Gordon McRorie and Nick Blevins will suit up for the Wolf Pack.

Prior to the Ontario game, the Peterborough club is also hosting a junior 7s tourney, a high school girls 7s tourney, and an over-35’s game.

Although no Peterborough players will be part of the Ontario team, the Kawartha region is well represented by four players from the Lindsay Rugby Club: Rob Brouwer, JT Rowbotham, Doug Wooldridge, and Jake Webster; the coach, Chris Silverthorn, is also from Lindsay.

As well, former Peterborough Pagan, Barbara Mervin will run a clinic on Saturday for minor players and high school students.

Barbara was part of the Canadian Women’s National squad that just captured silver at the women’s Rugby World Cup in France.

Ontario kicked off their season on August 16th in Ottawa and prevailed 20–11 over the Rock. The Blues travel in early September to Alberta and BC on their western tour before returning to host BC in Guelph on September 18th. Ontario will then wrap up their season

Tickets for the CRC game are $10 and are available from Ed Holton by calling 705-741-4067.

sports@school Conducting effective warm-ups for high school sports

By David Kittner, Youth Fitness Guy I enjoy attending local high school sports games when time permits. I often like to arrive as early as possible to watch the teams warm up. Sadly, I often see warm-ups that resemble what we did when I was in high school many years ago. If this is the case with your team, it’s time to change things up for the sake of your athletes’ health, well-being, and long term athletic performance.

A lot has changed over the years in the strength and conditioning world, and warm-ups are no exception. Surprisingly, warm-ups consisting of a slow jog around the field followed by a few quick static stretches prior to the start of a game are very popular, albeit ineffective. A slow jog does little to benefit an athlete unless you’re preparing them to perform slow jogging as

their sport or activity. Slow jogging is a great tool to making your athletes good at being slow — that’s not something you want in team sports at any level.

When you look at the demands of the sport to be played, whether it is rugby, soccer or field hockey, the typical easy jog around the field is not going to cut it. In fact, ineffective warm-ups are setting athletes up for injury; that’s exactly the opposite of what you want to achieve.

Effective and dynamic warm-ups that take athletes through all three planes of motion play a critical role not just prior to games but in practice sessions as well. They’re a must for every athlete, and like any sport skill, they must be coached and reinforced correctly each and every time they’re performed. Left to their own accord, athletes will look for shortcuts while becoming

Good

Poor

An effective warm-up, when executed with purpose and intent, serves several functions: • •

• • • •

Reduces the incidence of injury Moves joints through a full range of motion Ignites the nervous system Increases body temperature Increases heart rate Stimulates and warms up the mental capacity of the brain

An effective warm-up progresses from slow to fast and from simple to complex. The warm-up activities are a systematic and linear progression taking your athletes from a state of rest to a high state of readiness both mentally and physically. The warm-up will have athletes moving linearly, forwards and backwards, as well as laterally, from left to right and right to left.

Warm-ups may vary slightly depending on how much time and space you have available. The activities below require next to no equipment and can be done anywhere, anytime and include big bang for your buck exercises and movements. With a few exceptions, they can be performed while moving or while in place.

Reducing the stress of back to school Article by Kyle Dupont, Photo by CMHA After a fun and relaxing summer, it’s time for back to school!

Here are some back to school tips to help you and your children maintain a healthy body and a healthy mind while heading back to class.

Plan ahead

week of school. We are all unique and react to situations differently; stress can arise at any time and present itself in many different ways.

counsellors, teachers and coaches to Health Services at Trent University and Counselling Services at Fleming College. Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it.

CMHA HKPR and your school

Contact the 24-hour 4CC Crisis line at 705-745-6484 or toll free at 1-866-995-9933.**

The Canadian Mental Health Association, Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge is available to come into both high schools and elementary school free of charge.

Get back into your school routine; start going to bed and getting up early, set more scheduled dinner times and have quiet time in the evenings.

Kids on the Block program is a troupe of life size puppets available to young (grade one to six) audiences relaying mental health and wellness messages.

Breakfast

Mental Health 101 is an informative and interactive educational presentation targeted towards grade 7-12 students.

Mental Health 101 will provide a broad overview of mental health related illnesses and the stigma that surrounds mental illness. These presentations can also be adapted to meet the specific needs of a classroom. Also, Open Your Mind presentations are available to high school students which primarily focus on psychosis and the stigma and myths associated with the mental illness.

Nutrition plays a huge role in our physical health as well as our mental health. Make sure your kids have a healthy balanced breakfast every morning.

Stay active School means homework and, sometimes, lots of it. Make sure your kids are getting outside and being active. Exercise is a great way to burn off some of that stress that can come with learning a new subject.

Openness Maintain open dialogue with your kids. It is important that they know they have a safe place to talk about what may be bothering them at school.

Transitioning to post-secondary

No one is perfect. We all make mistakes and we cannot expect perfection from ourselves or others. Mistakes can be some of our best teachers.

The transition from high school to post-secondary education can be stressful. Being away from home and on your own is exciting and scary at the same time. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the supports your school offers and how to access them.

Set aside time for yourself

Ask for help

It’s okay to make mistakes

Your level of stress can affect your kids.

Be sure to set aside time every week for your own relaxation. Make sure you’re sleeping well, and when there is something on your mind, share it with those around you.

The school year runs September to June Another important thing to remember is that school stress doesn’t end after the first

sportsfiles The 2014 Ontario Summer Games is in the books Article by Amy Hollingsworth The 2014 Ontario Summer Games is in the books. A big shout out to the City of Windsor and their army of awesome volunteers who welcomed, fed, directed, and cheered on all the athletes. It was evident from the opening ceremony speeches through to all the venue volunteers that city pride ran deep in Windsor. The Ontario Summer Games provide young athletes from all regions of urban and rural Ontario the opportunity to experience a multi-sport event that I equate to an all-Ontario Olympics of sorts. In fact, for many sports, the Ontario Games are the first steps toward the Canada Games and high performance identification to our National teams.

As a coach, I love the Ontario Summer Games because it widens an athlete’s experience beyond a single sport championship event. Opening ceremonies, regional representation, and university residences creating an athletes’ village vibe allow the athletes to immerse themselves in the business of being an athlete and focus on performance at their own sport whilst developing a sense of camaraderie with, and respect for, different sport athletes from their own region.

This year, at the helm of the Central East Region coaching field hockey, the challenges of having the largest region geographically without a rich field hockey culture to draw from meant that I wasn’t sure our region would be represented. Many thanks to the local media outlets for helping us raise awareness, and that led to four local Peterborough athletes playing on the fifteenplayer roster. Emelia Payne and Sara Flaherty from Holy Cross Secondary, and Maddy MacDonald and Aili Hollingsworth from TASS represented the region with sportsmanship and pride. In addition to these four girls, players from Pickering, Midland, Newmarket, Mississauga and Scarborough rounded out the roster. Central East finished in a respectable fifth place and will be looking to improve on this ranking in Mississauga during the games of 2016.

Games qualifier, so expect to see and learn about field hockey at the highest level and to experience a great sampling of what this game has to offer our youth.

Maverick Field Hockey Club will be launching a Learn to Play Program called Field Hockey 5’s, open to U10 and U12 aged children. Five aside is a great way to learn the game that is also not cost inhibitive.

We are looking to bring this program to your local elementary school. Parents and teachers who would like more information can contact Amy at maverickfieldhockey.com for more information.

Maverick Field Hockey Club is looking to grow by increasing its membership base and allowing children of the Kawartha region the opportunity to participate in youth sport.

Field hockey is a great sport, creating cross training conditioning opportunities to develop agility, speed, balance, and power.

Next summer, in July of 2015, Toronto will host the Pan and Para Pan American games, showcasing our Men’s and Women’s National Field Hockey teams. This multi-sport event is, for many sports, a World Cup or Olympic

Maverick is also committed to competing in the Junior Women’s Provincial League, featuring an under-18 competitive club team that will travel and compete in Ottawa, Toronto, Mississauga and here at home in Peterborough. If you have a son or daughter interested in a new youth sport opportunity or looking for a new sport to cross train, please contact Maverick on Facebook and Twitter @MaverickFHClub.

For Angevaare, football is all about trust Article by Scott Cherwaty, Photos by Rob Angevaare Brad Angevaare started playing football at age seven in the Kinsmen Minor Football League (KMFL), and boy, is he glad he did.

Friends of Brad’s family suggested he sign up for the KMFL, but Brad was not so sure.

On the last day of registration, Brad finally decided to sign up. He played for two years in the KMFL, played for Holy Cross from grades 9 through 12, and then he moved on to Trinity College for grade 12 and 13, mostly as an offensive lineman. Holy Cross won the Central Ontario Secondary School Association championship when Brad was in grade 9, but the team competed in no other championships after that.

Brad said that they “had some good teams but just couldn’t win the big games.”

During those years he was most influenced by two coaches. Bond Bjorgan was intense but not mean and had a great attitude towards the players and the game.

Bev Quinlan, his grade 9/10 coach, loved the game and was a great coach to have to start his high school career.

During the summers of 2011 and 2012, Brad played for the Oshawa Hawkeyes of the Ontario Football Conference. It was a great experience. Coach Brad Chalmers, whose style was “my way or the highway”, was somewhat intimidating at first, but once you understood his style and got used to his coaching technique, he was an amazing coach.

Chalmers, who owns Elite Performance Centre in Oshawa, was also Angevaare’s first strength coach, and was crucial to his development.

Then, the Peterborough Wolverines started up right in Brad’s own backyard. This meant a lot less travel, but it

was an all new program and a new team. Brad played the 2013 and 2014 seasons with them, and the team accomplished 5–4 and 3–5 records. He learned that, “hard work is essential,” and “to work together as a team is a key to success”. Trust was their key word; everyone from the quarterback out had to trust that each other player was going to their job.

During the 2013 season with the Wolverines, he was approached by the Head Coach of Trinity College, a private school in Port Hope, about attending the college for the 2013-14 season. Brad was impressed by the fact that the coach was Adam Rita, a professional coach for many years in the Canadian Football League. Private schools are not cheap, but funding was available, and the decision to go was made as a family.

His family has always been supportive of his football career, and his parents, Rob and Connie, and his sister Meghan, have travelled to many if not all of his games.

They decided that they would make it work, especially Connie, who didn’t want Brad to miss out on this great opportunity. Brad calls Trinity the best experience of his high school career, especially because of Coach Rita’s unbelievable knowledge that he was able to share with each player.

He knew how to understand each individual and

coach them individually, too. He was always happy, telling players to remember that football is a game, and he made sure all were having fun.

At Trinity, Brad improved on his marks, and a few universities contacted him, but he narrowed his decision down to two: McMaster University and Ottawa University.

After visiting the campus in Ottawa and meeting head coach Jamie Barresi, his decision was made. It was a nice campus, close to home, and Barresi seemed like a great guy and coach. Brad is taking Mechanical Engineering, and he realizes he will be busy, but he is up for the challenge.

Brad looks forward to meeting new friends and getting his degree. He has no big plans for professional football since he feels he is too small for the position he plays.

The biggest things that stood out for him during his playing career of football are, “...the true team concept, needing everyone to do their job, trust is huge, playing for everyone else, and it’s not really all about the stats.”

Good luck, Brad Angevaare, at the University of Ottawa both in your football and academic career. I am sure you will make your family and Peterborough proud.
