URT SSCWLC — Power ROCKY: Brother Bennet, what to you is the most important aspect of weightlifting? BROTHER BENNET: Rocky, outside the physical gains, muscle gains in size and strength the psychological benefits are noteworthy. Usually, the lifter develops a better self-image. ROCKY: Do you feel that powerlifting will someday be included as an Olympic sport? BROTHER: Definitely! As soon as the communist countries feel they can outlift the free world countries, powerlifting will be voted into the Olympics. ROCKY: What areas of the SSCWLC would you like to see improved? BROTHER: The physical equipment in our gym is undoubtedly among the best in the country. What is needed is greater desire and determination to improve (on the part of the individual). ROCKY: When would you advise someone wanting to lift to start? BROTHER: A serious lifter should begin around 14 or 15 years of age. With adult supervision one could begin at an earlier age but only to stimulate growth, not to compete.

Sidelines Club Fair... Success (ROCKY attends the St. Stanislaus Sidelines Fair, happening upon Brother Phillip.) ROCKY: Brother Phillip, how old is the SSC Sidelines Fair? BROTHER PHILLIP: Well, Rocky, it was started back in the mid 50’s, so I would say it was at least 30 years or even older. ROCKY: Why do the Sidelines Club have the Fair? BROT1IER: The main purpose of the Fair is to raise funds for the maintenance and improvement of the Rockachaw Stadium, but it involves so many members with the St. Stanislaus family, that it has evolved into a family get-together. ROCKY: Are there any plans in the future to expand the fair, perhaps add some rides? BROTHER: No, not really. If you expand too fast then you can’t control it. Why add something new to the Fair each year and test it out. If it works, we keep it. If it doesn’t, we drop it. This way we know everything we have at the Fair it enjoyed by the majority of the people attending. ROCKY: Approximately how many people attend the Fair annually, Brother? BROTHER: We estimate in the vicinity of between two and three thousand. ROCKY: Well, Brother, Good Luck with next year’s Fair. I think I’ll go and try my hand at High-Low.
