24 economist suntribune sports recreation thursday june 13 2002 sport works whole body from page 23 alone i asked though i was pretty cer tain of the answer i remembered from a previous story there are 27 species of fish in this lake a piece of information i wished hadnt come to mind at this moment i wondered if any had teeth oh yes tarah answered in a chipper sort of way but its ok a safety boat always stays close to learner paddlers you change direction with the rud der thats the small stick in between your feet she told me it will take you left or right after a warning i might be a little tippy at first i moved effortlessly and gracefully into the small hole i charted my course out on to the lake the art of the rudder is a fine one but of course your feet must locate the lever before you can master it i admit i was more worried about staying upright and for that i had to concentrate as i drifted sideways toward bayview avenue i decided to improvise and started to paddle as much as i could on the left side eventually the onesided paddling pulled the boat back and i was gliding again out to the open water the weather had excelled itself the day was hot and sunny no breeze rus tled the air a state you can appreciate when you have just learned the word tippy balance was easier to maintain so i could focus more on my paddling style and the surroundings you can see several feet in to the water it looked clean and cool and only the tops of the weeds were visible overhead i noticed a group of canada geese as i gained confidence the boat seemed to go faster than i expected canoeist paul bryant who was driv ing the safety boat told me the k4s kayaks that hold four paddlers at the olympics go so fast they can pull a water skier soon i could feel my arm muscles and i knew the tryout wouldnt last much longer this is a sport that works the whole body but thats not why the enthusiasts love paddling when youre out there early in the morning said alexandra kopstals looking toward the lake and you put the paddle in the water theres some thing sort of amazing about it theres nothing like it serious paddlers train year round in the winter they do weight training and mental exercises they travel to florida for a training session in the summer of course they pad dle in the early morning and in the afternoon two hours each time right now theyre preparing for the canadian

same thing as a campfire or for those saucy lasses who want the men in their lives to get fired up you need to know your bri quettes from your burners according to weber whose booklet girls guide to grilling encourages women to seize the spatula gas and charcoal grills continue to rule the barbecue market charcoal grills are simple with a charcoal grate for the coals under a cooking grate distribution of the coals deter mines the intensity of the fire charcoal barbecues should be wellbuilt and lowmainte nance gas barbecues however are more complicated and accord ing to weber few consumers know what to look for when they lift the lid the burners are where its at they conduct heat and put con trol in your hands better grills generally have at least two burners not just con trol knobs that prevent hot and cold spots on the cooking sur face on top of the burners is a system to disperse the heat to the cooking grates usually v- shaped metal bars lava rock or ceramic briquets weber advises lava rock can cause flareups leaving food charred a barbecue needs 35000 btus british thermal units a measure of heat input to reach 550 degrees fahrenheit behemoths with highgrade stainless steel burners can han dle higher btus but the aver age grill will be damaged by too many when buying any barbecue make sure you can lift the lid and not singe the hairs on your arm with gas grills check the gas line is a safe distance from the hot underside as well as any wiring if dripping into a soup can is just too gauche look at models that come with their own recep tacles when it comes to acces sories dont fork it over puncturing or slicing meat allows its precious juices to drip away leaving you with a fine cut of shoe leather instead get some longhandled tongs an instantread digital thermome ter and a timer a brass bristle brush roast holder large drip pans and smoker attachment would also not go amiss if youre cooking with gas starting a grill charcoal on the charcoal
