Machine not the problem says co. TORONTO (CP) — Ice rink managers, not ice resurfacing machines, are to blame for possible health hazards in hockey arenas, says @ spokesman for the Zamboni com- pany. “If someone wants to go in their garage and start up their car and commit suicide, no one blames the car manufacturer,’’ Jerome Kahnke said Tuesday from Minneapolis. “Somehow that logic is missing here,"’ said the lawyer. He was responding to a Quebec study warning that recreational hockey players, especially those aged 30 to 60, may be at greater risk of heart attack and illness because of carbon monoxide buildup from resur- facing equipment emissions. The ice-surfacing machines are popularly known as Zambonis, after Frank Zamboni, a skating rink owner in Paramount, Ca., who invented the machine in 1949. Researchers found unacceptable air quality in half of 45 Quebec arenas tested. But every such complaint raised in recent years has been traced to either Poor maintenance of equipment or Poor building ventilation, Kahnke said. “The operators of the arenas are trying to pinch pennies by saving on ventilation and heating expenses,’ he He said Zamboni, which supplies the ice resurfacing equipment in about half Canada’s 2,200 indoor rinks, provides ‘‘mountainous’’ operating and safety instructions, in- cluding a videotape. Andy Schlupp, of Resurfice Corp. of Elmira, Ont., says most of the 1,000 resurfacing machines his-com- pany has made in the past 15 years Operate on propane, meaning no car- bon monoxide is produced.

Also filed was a letter from King’s New York lawyer, Robert Hirsh, to Mirage operator Steve Wynn, warning that interference with any of the contracts ‘‘will not be tolerated."” Douglas’s lawyers claim the contracts are illegal because Nevada law doesn’t allow to tie up boxers with heavyweight to King for three years ‘‘with an automatic extension to cover all fights should you win the title,” plus an additional two years after that. The contract — and a second options on future fights. They also contend thag Kirg breached the contracts by not acting in good faith when he protested the results of the Douglas-Tyson fight earlier this month.

The h XS changes that occur during exercise may be responsible for this effect, says Ellen Coleman, a California dietitian who is the author of the book Eating for En- durance. The research by Graham, who is collaborating with the August Krogh Institute of Copenhagen, a world leader in physiological research, is looking at the causes of this protein breakdown. To do this, he is Studying the muscle activities of individuals both during and after exercise, The research will help determin at what point, -. and under what conditions, Protein breaks down during physical activity. Graham indicated he may also be able to determine the effects of diet on muscle per- formance. Graham, who received research grants from the federal has not yet completed the studies he began more than a year ago, but he says he has already reached some important conclusions, For instance, short-term, intense exercise — such as lifting heavy weights with long breaks in between, or swimming or running in short bursts — does not lead to protein breakdown. But more moderate Physical ac- tivity over 'a longer period — like running eight kilometres or biking for an hour — does, Graham’s studies aim to help pinpoint the athletes who are particularly vulnerable to Protein breakdown.
