ax economist suntribune sports thursday oct 3 2002 33 womens league proposed from page 32 sidered more recreational in nature than the former though emotions can run high in both groups we have more fun here says steve morgan a member of mp woodshop a squad for which many members have played for a decade or so and chose to remain in the b division despite earning a promotion by winning the playoff cham pionship its a little quicker up there like many of the 14 teams in the two- tiered league the bengals have been together as a team for several years though connected through friendships or a friend of a friend occasionally a fel low sitting quietly in the parking lot minding his own business suddenly gets the call to replace someone who has failed to show up for the game bengals place kicker dave carnaffan falls into that category ifs all about timing and at the time most of the kickers were entrenched four years ago a buddy set up the palgrave resident with his team however when game day arrived the team had enough players and passed on his ser vices the better strategy would have been to at least give the former canadian collegian and cfl hopeful a chance to exhibit his skills before turning him away they didnt know what i could do grins carnaffan 34 whose field goal kick ing range seems to be anywhere from midfield and in turns out carnaffan played at the canadian university level and had a one- game preseason tryout with the ottawa rough riders some years ago unfortunately he came along at a time when the kicking game in the cfl might have been at its very best and teams were reluctant to move away from established veterans he also considered a tryout for the expansion ottawa renegades this season but realized he couldnt afford the pay cut from his job as an elementary school teacher its all about timing and at the time most of the kickers were entrenched most teams arent willing to take a chance on a new guy said carnaffan seeking a fillin player the bengals welcomed carnaffans booming right leg and it has been a pleasant match ever since after all in a sport where the kick ing game provides a huge advantage it doesnt hurt to have a guy who can split the uprights from great distances it also saves wearandtear on the qb you sure need a good kicking game and defence says dale pegg while the league is the lone flag foot ball budet for men in york region a womens league based in markham is proposed for the 2003 season the sport is also popular among high school girls for serious women athletes its find ing another sport in which they can use their skills says steve morrell who coached the cd rockets team at the recent womens national flag football championships in scarborough john cudmore will be off tor the next few months please email comments to sportseconsuncom staff photosteve somerville staff writer linda johnson works with trainer lisa schklar while trying out pilates which was developed as a form of rehabilitation pilates builds coordination from page 32 their second location in january their first location a block south was started 212 years ago and also teaches yoga when she says awareness lisa is talking muscles we work the smaller muscles first and then work out to the larger muscles strength is one of the four key prin ciples of pilates along with breath bal ance and alignment before every exer cise position and stress in related parts of the body are checked it demands and builds coordina tion thats especially true when it comes to the breathing aspect no exercise whether its on the mat or equipment is done without constant attention to breathing its surely a sign of the peace and calm of pilates that i can hear the rhythm of inhaling and exhaling as my fellow trainees all advanced slowly curl forward or roll back on the mat which brings us to one of the main differences between an average aero bics class and pilates i can hear every word of the instructor no pounding music no voice yelling the countdown across the gym no thumping feet classes are small the maximum number of participants at pilates north is six the instructor gives constant cueing she can see everyone how theyre doing the exercise and if need ed just walk over and help your ups are good lisa tells me as she puts her hand behind my back to correct my downs actually im not doing too badly but i think theyre being easy on me most of the participants in this class have been doing the exercises for about two years and even they dread the hun dred a classic pilates move lying on their backs they raise both head and legs off the ground then they do 100 hand pulses a quick up and down motion accompanied by 100 breaths this is the type of coordina tion one must learn you cannot be born with it i say from the mat we move on to equip ment the principles are the same slow careful moves to stretch muscles and build strength in different parts of the body pilates was invented after the first world war by joseph pilates as a form of rehabilitation it was later modern ized to conform with more recent research on biomechanics most participants today look to pilates for an exercise alternative to aerobics or weighttraining the exer cise is adaptable to all age groups pilates north is located at 6 scott dr just south of 16th avenue offyonge street training is available in private or group
