economist sunjtribune sports recreation thursday july 182002 19 water critical to summer survival from page 18 really anyone can play this game my lesson starts with a few stretches which he insists is the most important thing to do before participating in any sport its very important espe cially to stretch the neck legs and groin since theyre the areas most vulnerable to injury the words groin and vul nerable are not two i care to hear in the same sentence so i pay very close attention note to self ask employer if groin sur gery is covered in current bene fits package after running through a few dribbling drills we get down to the real deal learning how to use your head to get ahead the main thing mr babiolakis says is to keep in control of the ball you do that by hitting the ball with your forehead not the top of your head as most people are tempt ed to do we lob a few balls back and forth and after a few tries im actually sending the ball in the general direction that its sup posed to go i hit the ball with my eye only once and im really really glad george brought a softer ball specifically for this drill note to self ask employer if shiner con cealer is covered in current benefits packageov t then we approach the net no big surprise the feet are the most important part of a soccer players body and they have to be in the proper place to execute a proper kick one two three kick utter simplicity it doesnt take a genius to figure out why more kids play soccer than hockey and football combined one two threeeee ok i landed my left foot too far from the ball one two thr wha its back there third times a charm and my powerful kick with some prac tice is sure to make me the scourge of any goalieless soccer field court pitch what do you staff photosteve somerville staff writer mitchell brown learns to use his head at the game of soccer with coach george babiolakis call this big grassy thing any way im ready to move on to goal- tending but george doesnt want to work me too hard espe cially on such a hot day heat he knows he lived in zimbabwe until 1992 when he moved to canada to give his family a more stable future while he says he loves his adopted country he has found most sporty people in our part of the world dont remember to follow the most basic rule of summer survival water and lots of it they the coaches dont keep the young kids well hydrat- ed he said also its not just the fluids they drink today its the fluids they drank last night or the night before that helps them win the game wise words and rest assured i will heed them for the rest of this summer especially when i relax in the shade with a good book and a tall glass of my favourite beverage nope no more goofing off for me from now on im hydrating been there done that is a regular

from page 18 industry street near the intersection of industrial parkway south and aurora road famous for its maple syrup program in spring when it becomes a hive of activity sheppards bush is all too often ignored the remainder of the year thats unfortunate because while relatively small the sight of sunlight filtering through the forest canopy is truly refreshing and of course the very trees that sustain the maple syrup in the spring come alive with a vibrant display of colour in autumn kortright centre for conservation forms part of an impressive tract of nat ural habitat running through vaughan just north of woodbridge perhaps best known for its educa tional facilities which are top notch it also boasts some 16 km of trails over 162 hectares of mixed terrain forest meadows river valleys and swamps bring the children for an educational walk guided by knowledgeable staff with themes ranging from bird watch ing to pond life not all walking paths in the region are on conservation lands an example of private property extending a warm welcome to hikers is seneca colleges king campus on dufferin street just north of king road originally the home of flora eaton daughterinlaw of timothy eaton of department store fame the home was sold to seneca in 1961 the grounds contain seven km of trails that lead through a maple sugar bush and reforested pine woodlot past two small lakes and over fields and rolling hills a gazebo beside one of the lakes offers respite and a platform from which to view waterfowl parking is 2 my personal favourite thats easy whitchurch conservation area 10 km east of aurora along aurora road in whitchurchstouffville its nowhere near as well known as the others men tioned here but its far more primordial majestic tamaracks the only conifers to change colour in the fall shadow the looped trails allowing little foliage to grow on the forest floor its a dark almost eerie wood the kind you would expect to find in cottage country not a mere hour from the city spooky a little unique definitely as you walk the trails of york region the great beauty that is the natural world will strike you and along the way you might gain a greater appreciation for your community for it is more than just subdivisions and mega malls the deli cate balance between humanity and nature has been carefully maintained in york region for your enjoyment and that of future
