Page 10, Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, February 20, 1985 Where are all the fans. We want to talk a bit about our arena. Not the acoustics, or the paint job, or that it may need more heaters, but the general ap- pearance of it during sports events, empty. We don't want to criticize, and are in no position to pass judgement, we are only curious as to where all the sports fans have gone? We see that the Recreation News _ with the Marathon Recrea- Swimming Lessons The Schreiber Recrea- tion Committee working Escaping insead of solving by SANDRA SEBESTYEN "Don't cry Judy, here have a cookie." Have you ever witnessed such a scene. Since most adults feel uncomfortable around tears, they hurry to stop them by any means, even bribery. From a psychological point of view, it would be better for Judy if she was allowed to cry. If allowed to express herself in this way, there is a good chance she will discover the real cause of her tears, and learn an in- valuable lesson for reaching maturity. The lesson is; there are solu- tions to problems, if you are free to express, and discuss your feelings con- cerning them. Too often pareents take the easy way out by diverting the child's attention from -- his problems. In studies of alcoholics, the basic personality is that of a childish person who cannot face life without his liquor crutch, not much different from the frighten- ed and unhappy child who is confronted by the offer of a cookie. The alcoholic "'mothers'" himself by pop- ping the bottle into his mouth in response to in- security and frustration. Alcoholics Anonymous is a successful organiza- tion, composed of in- dividuals who have ex- perienced the desolution of alcoholism, and recognize the despair of the heavy drinker. The program is specifically oriented toward creating a social at- mosphere, by emphasizing Pee-Wee league has many fans, anxious to see their stars on ice, and we know that most of those same fans trudge out to the ban- tam and midget games, but what of our older players, and the figure skaters? At the last figure skating competition there were many local and out of town fans, mostly parents, eager to lend a helping hand, and of course, Mrs. Betty Bouchard. She has put in at least 30 years of service to this club, and probably just as many in the support of minor hockey. We wonder if her picture, hanging for all to see, might inspire us to spend a little more time at our local arena. We are not suggesting that everyone get involved to the extent as Mrs. Bouchard, or that people who don't go out to local hockey games are good for nothing, we only want to light a spark, that may bring some of you sports fans back in, to warm those spectator benches. We know that at this time of the year the weather is not very in- viting, and the last thing on our minds is scraping, and tion Committee is explor- ing the possibilities of of- -- fering a 10 week swimm- identification with a pro- blem that is mutually shared, a real feeling. of comradeship results without regard to, social or financial differences, or where the participants come from. If your life is complicated by drinking, whether you are a social drinker, or an alcoholic, many years are spent try- ing to rationalize your pro- blem. Well, you have your answer.

But we also know that this is Canada's Winterland, so to speak, and we are not afraid of below freezing temperatures, gusting winds and ice crystals, are we? Think back to the days - of outdoor rinks, and the inspiration of the players to make their fans proud; that hasn't change.

Wallace, who passed away February 20, 1981. God saw you getting weary So He did what he knew best, He came and stood beside you, And whispered, "Come and Rest" It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone For a part of us went with you, The day God called you home.

It's a real community feeling out there yelling and cheering, and as "'gushy" as it may sound it "warms you up", and gives you a glow, happy to feel apart of the goings on in our gracious, winter hide away. Keep an eye out for posters around town and in the News announcing the games of the No Body- Contact League, very ex- citing game. With more fans, we're sure the games will become even more action packed, and hopefully give the home team the edge we want them to have. Travelling to Thunder Bay? Stay With Us! = Breakfast Special!
