stresses wanted programs By CATHY HEATHER Of The Examiner The work that Dave Garner and staff of five other pro gram directors do at Barries YMYWCA means pleasure to lot of people As far as Garner the pr gram and physical director is concerned the is place where people of all ages can come to blow off some steam by participating in leisure time activity When Garner and the other program staff got together to coordinate this years program at the this type of philosophy was taken in to consideration We try to stress the type of program people want says Garner In fact last year we had sort of hit and miss pro gram trying to determine what most people wanted One thing we decided was that we were spending too much time on the physical side there were some people who came here just to sit or socialize So weve hired social program direc tor Heather Fraser to plan some interest programs IIIREVWOMAN Another area the staff felt needed attention was the womens program Garner says there was void in the area of programs relating to women and girls so they hired Wendy Town to help fill that void While some Ys are of the nonmembership variety Bar ries is membership type YM YWCA While this might create problems because people ac cuse them of being private and not for the community Garner says that membership is ab solutely necessary The members have to come first says Garner The only way we can operate this place is if we know what kind of money we have to work with says Garner And the members give us that figure But being membership YM YWCA doesnt take away from serving the community all our members are people from the Barrie community Membership is not exclusive to those in healthy financial The YMYWCA booklet includes section en titled nsored members under which it is stated that no rson shall be refused mem rship in the Barrie YM YWCA because of inability to meet the membership fee Garner says the triesto en courage the family together ness by having family swims and family gym and swim times Programming is set up on basis of space availability group size determined by what is the best and most feasible working sized group to be with PROGRAMS DIVIDED Programs are divided under age headings under ei outh teens and adults ile amer says that it is hard to tell which group makes up the largest per cent of par ticipating goers he feels that the under eight group is quite substantial As far as activities go fitness and swimming are the most popular The is adequately equipped with facilities for every one interested in these two activities and more 19 tho

rooms and three rest rooms used for reading clubs and games Last year the Barrie YM YWCA had about 30003500 dif ferent people using their facilities This season Garner hopes to raise that to 35oo4ooo While there is paid staff the centre relies mostly on volunteers as instructors and assistants Volunteers are screened to make sure that their expertise fills the needs of the class Registration began Sept 11 and the programs begin Sept 17 While Garner has hopes of high number of registrations is basic he is more concerned that le should get some fun an enjoymentoutoftheY Thats why were here They can also learn if they want Peewees do whale of ob in tying for tournament title Barrie Franks peewee soccer team emerged as co champions with Toronto Lancers in the Bradford Invita tional Soccer tournament Sept and in Bradford Barrie Peewees an allstar team composed of players from the peewee division of the Bar rie Optimist Minor Soccer Association finished with record of three wins and one loss identical to Lancers record The two teams also scored the same number of goals and thus were declared co winners in the peewee divi sion The tournament featured seven divisions and Barrie Mos auitoes also won the mosquito msron The kids did whale of job said Bob Hadley who coached the peewees in the absence of regular coach Adrien Potvin who was in California We only had ten players two were injured that usually play and two were working In fact in our opening game we had to bring it two mosquito players to fil the roster but they played really well MADE PRESENCE Joey Chimenti and John Coll ingbourn were the two mos quito players and they made their presence felt in Barnes openinlgl game against Rich mond ill by scoring one goal each Barrie trounced Rich mond Hill 94 led by three goal performance from David up Gre Johnson scord twice whi Ian artin and Doug Ar chie each scored one goal John Duncan recorded the shutout in goal for Barrie Barrie moved into second round game against Toronto Lancers which they dropped 31 Greg Johnson scored Bar ries only goal In the third round Barrie played Aurora in One of the most exciting games of the tournament winner was not determined until the laSt five seconds of the game when Bar ries Greg Johnson dribbled the ball the length of the field and then put it past the Aurora goalie to give Barrie 32 win Johnsons goal was made more dramatic by the fact that Aurora had tied the score 22 with just 10 seconds remaining Two goals in the span of 10 seconds in soccer game is highly unlikely but as evidenc gtli in this match entirely possi Ian Martin and David Jupp scored Barries other goals In the fourth round Ian Mar tin was the star of the game as he scored three picture goals and led Barrie to 31 win over Bradford BEAT ALLSTARS Ironically some of the teams that Barrie Peewees defeated at this tournament were in the North York Allstar league that refused entry to Barrie But Hadley says that the teams chances for getting into the 12 team league nextyear are pret ty good Hadley had chanceto speak to several coaches while at the Bradford tournament was very impressed with the Bradford tournament said Hadley The
