i < al CN ir Sam a "rN 20 -- PORT PERRY STAR Wednesday, June 11, 1975 Sports New soccer team shows promise in first game The soccer season official- ly started with the opening game being played in Ux- bridge June 5th. Uxbridge came out strong, but the Port Perry club held them back until the 10 minute mark of the first half. Uxbridge Panthers scored again at the 25 minute mark. Port Blue Bombers went into the second half 2-0 but came on strong, missing three good chances. Law- rence Martens put Port on the scoreboard at the 15 minute mark in the second half. But Uxbridge came back 5 minutes later to score again. Port played a surprisingly good game considering it was their first soccer: game they played as a team. Next game to be played June 12th in Uxbridge when they meet the Uxbridge Flames.

"It's not making us rich," smiles Mrs. Baird, "but it's helped put the kids through - school." And while the park's operation hasn't been a 'great money maker", it's been a way for the Bairds to get involved in the commun- ity. The swimming program at the park is unique in that it is operated privately. There are no funds from supportive groups, such as service clubs or other sponsoring groups. Nor is the program municip- ally run, like in most other centres. Fiesta '75 Fun Week Anna Bolenchuk, president of The Oshawa Folk Arts Council, is happy to announce that plans for Fiesta '75 Fun Week, June 22 to 28, are well underway. i Many menus are being planned to allow the patrons to enjoy foods of other lands while watching various cultural groups entertain with their traditional dances, etc. Refreshments will also be available.

Perhaps that's one reason the program has been so successful. Last year, for example, over 200 young people took part in the swim- ming program during the month of July. The heavy enrolment both last year and the year before has led the Bairds to try swimming les- sons on a two-month basis this year. The lessons will be offered in July and August this year, if the heavy turn- out is repeated again this year. The swimming lessons are offered in different categor- ies, and a youngster can start in the beginner classes and move up to bronze medallion classes. Many swimmers, according to Mrs. Baird, start in the program at the pool one year, return the following summers, advanc- ing to higher classes. All testing is carried out by the Red Cross to ensure high standards, and all instruc- tors and lifeguards at the pool are qualified to do the job. Perhaps one of the most unusual classes involved in the program is the Moms and Tots groups, involving youngsters as young as six months old. Although Mrs. , Baird reports one child of under a year old learned to swim last year, she adds that the program is basically a "fun class", allowing infants to become used to water enough that a fear of water doesn't develop. "An early introduction to water can really help these kids," said Mrs. Baird. "And the earlier you can do it, the better." Classes go from tadpoles, beginner classes, junior, intermediate, senior, and the bronze medallion classes. All programs involve not only swimming instruction, but a major emphasis is on water safety. Not only do swimmers learn to take care All wet and loving it of themselves in the water, but lifesaving methods are ¢ - also taught. Swimmers come from as far away as Cannington, Nestleton, Blackstock, Pp Janetville, and other com-W munities.
