Triathletes tackle tough terrain

LOCAL ATHLETES con- tinue to make their mark at triathlons in the province.

Ray Warner recenily came back from an Okanagan race where he took second in his 40-44 age group.

Close to 300 people turned out for the Clympic-length event, which involved a 1.5 km swim, followed by a 40 km bike and a 10 km run.

_ Warmer completed — the course in 2:10:17, which was good for 31st overall,

He’s been training pretty hard this summer and he says the hard work is start- ing to pay off.

*T've Tost about 10 Ibs,”’ he says. ‘You wouldn’t be- lieve what a difference that makes.”

Wendy Shymanski was -

probably wishing she had a couple of extra pounds to keep her warm at the Cana- dian Ironman in Penticton two weekends ago.

The weather was brutal,

with biting rains and icy winds whipping up a storm all along the course,

“Everyone really had to watch _ out for hypothermia,’ Sbymanski says. ‘‘Lots of people ended up being pulled.”

Shymanski, Terrace’s only entrant in the event, says she was pleased with her swim time of 1:28:00 — especial- ly considering how choppy the water was.

The bike was ithe worst,

however, as cold winds nipped at riders, forcing many — even pros — to pull out,

“That was a real mental chailenge,’’ Shymanski notes. She finished the entire course wilh a final time of 15:17:00,

**T was happy,’’ she says. “I crossed the finish line smiling.”

Shymanski says she’s al- ready got her application for next year's event.

Teams battle for first place in Men’s Soccer

FIRST PLACE in the Terrace Men's Soccer League regu- lar season will be decided this weekend.

League powerhouse Super BM and _ second-place Forestry will fight for the title Sunday at 7 p.m. on the Thornhill field.

This should be an exciting match, as the two teams have been playing neck-and-neck for the last few wecks.

The winner of this game will take first place.

In their previous two match-ups the teams tied 1-1 in one game, and Super BM won the other 5-1.

Once the season standings are determined, the playoffs will begin. The Round Robin portion is set to start Sept. 13 and 14, with the semi-finals and finals finishing up on Sept. 20.

All playoff games will be played at the Thornhill Regional and Thornhill Jr, Secondary fieids.

The Under 19’s of Terrace Youth Soccer entered Men’s League play recently when the Knights disbanded. They will be entered into the playoffs as the cighth-place team.

Meanwhile, regular season play is now over in the Youth Soccer League and the playoffs are underway.

There should be plenty of great action in this league too with lots of tight competition within the age-divisions.

The playoffs will wind down Sept. 18.

The One You

“What a great way to spend a morning. | love these courtroom dramas” The three ladies wearing thelr big flowery hats were sitting in the courtroom. “What's on, today, Evelyn?”

Evelyn paused to fix her hat which had slipped a little to the right, “Fanny is on trial for having stuck a knife into the stomach of her live-in.” Rachel shook her hand so vio- lently that the flowers on her hat almost flew off. "Serves him right. That no-good-tor- nothing. He's been trouble for Fanny ever since they moved in together. He screams at her, pushes her around and drinks like a fish."

Miriam seeing what nearly happened to her friend's hat stuck an extra hat pin into hers. "So, big deal, and she doesn't drink like a fish? Gome on, you sound like you were born yesterday.”

Evelyn looked disgusted with her friend Miriam. “You have no heart. Fanny has been behind the 8-ball ever since she was a kid. She had no chance. What with an abusive father, then two abusive boyfriends then one child from each. | don't even know why the prosecutor laid charges against her. What good Is putting her into jail going to do, That woman needs help. She needs work.”

Miriam interrupted her.

“Work, Fanny work, you must be kid- ding, Who's going to hire her with that droo- py eye, She looks terrible not to mention that she doesn't see too good,” Evelyn was fed

up with both her friends,

“Ladias, enough of this wimpy stuff. Fanny stuck a knife into her partner. That's a criminal offense. Four years ago she also roughed up her 4-year ald nephew, And that’s a criminal affense. The jaw has to be upheld, Fanny has got te be put into jail.”

Before any of the ladies could com- ment, the guard shushed them up. “Quiet in the courtroom, the trial is starting.”

The prosecutor was emphatic: “Your Honour, Fanny has assaulted people close to her in the past, Last time it was her nephew. This time, her common law spouse. Who will it be next time? When Fanny drinks, her anger gets out of cantrol and she hurts people. Counseling Is not the answer. Put her in jail before she hurts someone else.”

Fanny was adamant, “Your Honour, | didn't mean to stab Johnny, but he made me mad. He was encouraging another woman to yell at me. He assaulted me last year and | was afraid of what might happen. I'm in a program to help me stop drinking and control my anger. Please don’t send me to jail,"

Should Fanny be responsible for stab- bing Johnny?
