Tony Clouse reaches 3,000-mile plateau

By GARY LEWIS It’s not exactly like clockwork, but Lakeland residents can just about expect Tony Clouse to be running at least once a day. Whether it be rain, sleet or snow, this 45-year-old will hit the road every day for his daily jog. At least that’s been his daily routine for the past 678 days. Those days cover 22 months — since February 18, 1980 to be exact — and Clouse hopes to extend his string to two years in 'B3. Clouse believes in setting goals.

For a runner, he said, goals are even more important than for most athletes. “I really think it is important. It is really a good motivation. I set goals each week, like I have to run 60 miles this week ... so I come home from school and if I have to run eight miles to make it, I run eight miles.” His consecutive day’s running goal is also part of another goal Clouse has going — 3,000 miles. ”1 set a goal to run 3,000 miles this year ... I have 14 miles to go,” he said. That was last Monday, so

Clouse will have no problem in reaching his personal 3,000-mile plateau. But the real story behind his mileage goal was last week’s achievement. With 1982 quickly getting away from him, and the ever-present threat of northern Indiana snowfall, Clouse logged 85 miles. Family plays a key role for Clouse’s athletic achievements. “They want me to run. My wife let’s me buy the new shoes and allows me to take off when I need to go. Runners need to have a lot of help from other running friends and family .” Clouse’s two daughters, Amy and Carla, are both members of the high school state finalist cross-country team and occasionally makes the rounds with dad. Unlike most runners today, Clouse does not push himself too hard. Although he does compete, he ran in two marathons this year and a number of other local races, Clouse’s philosophy is to take it easy. “I run at about an eight-minute mile pace,” Clouse said. “I just enjoy it so much. I hold back and have fun. ” A six-minute training pace is not uncommon for most runners, Clouse said. Clouse got into the running craze to lose weight. A now thin 150 pounds, when Clouse got started jogging he was up to 200. “I used to run a lot. and I knew if I could get back into it I could run it (the weight) off,” the former Manchester College harrier said. The real motivator for Clouse wasn’t just a concern for his own health, but an experience with his father. “My father had a bad heart attack and that made a difference,” he said. “All he did was overeat for 30 years, and I could just see myself lying on that hospital bed,” he said. “Once I got started, it became more of a challenge. ” Like most health-conscience Americans. Clouse believes the average American diet is too much grease and fast food. “I’ve reduced the amount of protein I eat,” he said. “I do think you need protein, but you get it in milk and eggs.” The meat-and-potatoes diet is harmful to most people, he said. His household eats meat only once a week at the most, and he doesn't miss it at all. Milford girls lose first game of season Milford’s seventh and eighth grade girls' basketball team dropped their first game of the season to Pierceton and will return to the hardwood January 10 at home against Syracuse. Maggie Edwards is the “A" team leader with 11 rebounds a game and is the team's leading scorer Traci Ostendorf averages six points a game. Coaches for the Lady Trojans are Dick Roose and Bill Helms.

Spicy hint Roseman- is a rather splintery spice and may be more easily used by putting it in a pepper grinder for grinding over foods

A teacher at Milford Junior High School, Clouse feels his commitment to running is real. “A lot of people think because I’m a school teacher my schedule allows me more time to run. But I think I would run the same no matter what I did.” One of the major reasons he keeps on running is a group of running buddies he knows. This group meets every Sunday to run and this serves as a motivator for Clouse. He needs to keep his mileage up during the week or he will be pu s to shame come Sunday, he said. Running is “not the most im-

Junior High round-up With Christmas vacation about to end, area junior high basketball teams will be back in action. Here’s a rundown on some of the Lakeland community junior high boys’ season to date: * NORTHWEBSTER COACH TONY VERMILLION’S eighth-grade basketball team is 1-4 so far this season with the only win against cor-poration-rival Milford. Vermillion hopes the new year will bring improvement, beginning with a win at Wakarusa on January 6. Nathan Rhoades and Darin Atwood are the club's leaders on offense with Rhoades handling the rebounding and Atwood the leading scorer. Kevin Parker is the backcourt leader and is praised by Vermillion for his ball-handling abilities. Defensive stalwarts are Kent Engeart and Troy Reiff. THE SEVENTH-GRADERS are in just about the same dire straits as the eighth-grade basketball team. Coach Worth Packer’s crew has yet to dent the win column, dropping their first six games. Hoping to lead the Trojans out of the celler beginning January 6 at Wakarusa are Bobby Strombeck and Derek Bowen. Basel Bonner is a defensive standout and credited with the leadership role is Tim Keim. Also figuring in the North Webster scheme of things is Brett Harter. SYRACUSE THE YELLOW JACKETS eighth grade basketball team is 4-1 on the season with wins against Pierceton (54-41), Central Noble (35-28), Wakarusa (27-23) and West Noble (44-31). Coach Tom Jones says Tim Mangus and Todd Roberts are the leading scorers. Erick Jones is the defensive leader and the team’s most consistent performer Another up-and-coming standout is Rob McKibbin who is the sixth man off the bench He’s turned in some impressive performances in the last two games. Syracuse is the area s team scoring leader with 41 points per game. The next game for the team is January 11 when the Jackets host Nappanee at 6 p.m. THE ONLY UNDEFEATED team in the area is Casimir Szynal’s seventh graders The only team coming close to the red-hot Yellow Jackets was South Whitley in a 25-23 thriller. Besides that game, no team has come within 10 of the team whose record is now 5-0. Other wins include Pierceton (36-16), Central Noble (36-15), Wakarusa (39-25), and West Noble (5218). Leading scorers and rebounders are Mike Cannon and Jack Bond who lead the team in scoring and rebounding. Brian Rensberger is the field general and Mike Meek is the defensive leader. The other starter. Derek Smith, is the team’s most consistent player and Fred Steffen has done the job in relief. The Syracuse team averages 37.3 points per game. Nappanee comes to town January 11. MILFORD THE TROJANS eighth-grade squad has struggled after winning the first two games of the season, slipping to 2-4. Milford wins were against Fairfield (34-30) and Bremen< 31-30). Joe Hernandez and Ben Beer lead the team in steals, with Beer as the leading rebounder At point guard, Erik Sharp sets up the offense which is led by scorers Scott Baker, C. J. Harwood, Derek Krieder and Terry Ryman. Os the teams reporting, coach Rich Bender's team is third in scoring with a 30 8 average The next game for the Trojans will be January 11 in a home encounter with West Noble. MILFORD’S SEVENTH-GRADERS are 1-5 on the year with the team's only win against North Webster (23-20). Coach Ron Carmichael’s scoring leaders are John Erasure and Kerwin Miller. Leading the team in assists is Shannon Angle and Doug Wolferman is the team's defensive hero. Erasure, Tim Troup and Ted Hiss are the leading rebounders. The team has been averaging 22 points per game. The Trojans will play West Noble at the Milford gym at 6 p.m. January 11, prior to the eighth-grade game.

portant thing in my life, but it is one of them,” he said. For those who can’t find the time or the motivation to run, Clouse has some advice. “You’ve got to set your priorities.” If health is important enough, then the discipline to keep in shape by jogging will come. He admits, however, that not everyone can run. “I think there’s a lot of people who can’t run, but they can sure walk. I wish there was more stress on that in our community,” he said. “I might become a walker someday," His wife Connie isn’t able to run

because of health reasons but she does walk two to three miles a day. Many of the benefits in running can be obtained in walking — things like improved blood pressure and pulse rate. Another reason for his consecutive day’s streak is his health. Even with all of the miles he puts in, Clouse has never had a jogging-related injury. In fact, Clouse says he is so injury -free he sometimes cannot believe it himself. While the rest of his running buddies are forced to cutback on their running, Clouse said he is “the only one that has not been injured.”

/ NEIMAN PAINTS / THE BOWLING GREATS W jg By Chuck Pezzano Leßoy Neiman is a world famed artist. His specialty is colorful sports paintings, and his works grace the finest galleries and museums throughout the world. It is amazing, and somewhat sad, that little in the way of painting, sculpture and other art forms exist with bowling as a theme. This is surprising because bowling can be portrayed as an exciting and exacting physical or mental experience. and a graceful bowler has all the lines of a ballet dancer. < Yet. an aggressive, attacking bowler can impart all the terror of a football running back, a punching boxer, or a raging bull. Neiman recently completed a 3 x 4-foot oil painting, with Earl Anthony and such other bowling greats as Dem Carter and Andy Varipapa as part of the overall bowling theme. It«will have a permanent home in the National Bowling Hall of Fame and Museum, now under construction in St. Louis. Neiman's painting features Anthony, bowling’s million dollar winner, scoring one of his famous strikes. The artist felt that Anthony is, and long will be. a lasting example of the best of his sport as an athlete and a person. Neiman ha? rendered hundreds of works commissioned by sports groups, and bowling will now happily join the Olympics, baseball, boxing, football, basketball, golf, tennis, auto racing and horse racing in the list of subjects. He has long shown an appreciation for sports and an understanding of athletes. Though the original will have a permanent home in the National Museum, a limited edition of 300 serigraphs, specially made silk screens, also will be produced. These collector’s items, hand signed and numbered by the artist, will be offered for purchase to the public. The buyers will have their names inscribed on a plaque placed near the original and part of the purchase price will be donated to the Museum. For more information write Central Park Arts, 225 Central Park West, Suite 223. New York, New York 10024, or call (212) 877-2483 or (201) 262-6000. The new Neiman painting has been well received by the bowling public, since it will become part of bowling’s permanent home, and by those who have been fortunate enough to obtain one of the serigraphs. because they have a copy as close to the original as possible. The art world is also taking notice, because bowling has been rare as a subject. It might well inspire other artists to recognize the wide appeal and many possible subjects the sport offers. Anthony is famous for his solid strikes, and now Neiman can join the bowling club for his solid and striking strokes, with brush and paint.
