By Chris Occhiuzzi The Rotary Centre for Youth in Bracebridge is using an age-old Canadian pastime to raise funds for a good cause. The first annual Rotary road hockey tournament is set to take place on Oct. 23 with proceeds going towards support for the youth of Bracebridge. With games beginning at 8 a.m. in the Rotary Centre parking lot, participants and spectators can enjoy hot food and cold drinks throughout the day. “There will be beer gardens,” says Gary Williams, one of the tournament organizers. “All money raised is going to for the youth of Bracebridge.” The tournament will see 12 teams competing for a trophy. Each team must have a minimum of eight players and can bring a maximum of 12. “Everyone is going to be guaranteed two games. It will be a co-ed affair, so the teams will be mixed,” says Williams. “It is quite possibly going to be a three-day tournament next year with more teams. It’s the first year for it, but we’re going to grow it.” The entry fee is $15 per person and at publication time there were still a couple of spots available in the competition. At least two members of each team are required to be of the opposite sex and most of the equipment will be supplied. “We’re supplying the road hockey nets,” says Williams. “We’re supplying the road hockey balls. We’re also supplying all the road hockey goaltender equipment, mask, gloves and pads. All they need to bring is their sticks.” The idea behind the road hockey tournament was to bring in some variety in terms of activities and people to By Dianne Park Thach Being a fitness trainer is what Marisa Anderson is passionate about, and now that passion is being showcased to the world online. Anderson, who works at Muskoka Fitness in Bracebridge, is one of four trainers featured this month on Train or be Trained, a website started by a Toronto-based clinical practitioner who wanted to showcase the range of different techniques and styles of trainers. “There are so many beliefs out there in training and everyone has their own techniques and ideas,” explains Anderson. “At Muskoka Fitness all of the trainers use the same platform to teach, but they each have their own style and technique.” People who log on to the site can Rotary fundraising. Road hockey was a natural choice since many people in the community grew up playing the sport. “The premise behind it was to bring in different people than we normally watch Anderson’s clip and the three other trainers being featured for the month and vote for the trainer they identify with. All of the trainers were asked the same questions and answered on their personal beliefs and style. “All of the information I cover in the clip comes from me,” says Anderson, who’s dubbed as “the First Lady of fitness” on the website. “I wasn’t influenced by anyone else. It’s my training and it’s what I believe in.” Most of the trainers featured on the site are from the Toronto area, and Anderson’s name was suggested to the website creator after she participated in a recent fitness competition. She sees the opportunity as a great way to represent an area north of the city. After votes are tallied at the end get for fundraisers,” says Williams. “Something that’s very Canadian, which is road hockey. We want to get men and women out that might not necessarily come to Rotary or know anybody at Rotary.” Personal trainer vies for top spot online Marisa Anderson is hoping that Muskokans will vote for her.

With more than 15 years of experience as a trainer, Anderson says she’s had her struggles with weight and fell in love with the idea of being a trainer when she experienced her first aerobics class. She also likes to keep in shape by participating in a range of sports as well as classical ballet. “I love helping people and it’s nice knowing that I have the tools and knowledge that will help them reach their goals,” says Anderson.
