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.

“Get Swept up in the Fun”

YOU BE THE JUDGE

You Always Hurt —*s

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?
