Seaforth seniors
exercise class
seeks new recruits
Marco Vigliotti
Huron Expositor
Grace Corbett wants to get the
word out around Seaforth about the
importance of regular exercise and
physical activity.
She says every person should
exercise for an hour at least three
times a week to maintain physical
health.
Corbett encourages local seniors
seeking an avenue to remain active
to enrol in her free, twice weekly
exercise class hosted at the Seaforth
Agriplex.
"It varies, but the most we had
this past week was 21 people," Cor-
bett said of the number of attendees
to the class which runs on Tuesdays
and Fridays between 9:30 a.m. and
10:30 a.m.
The program, organized by
regional not-for-profit supportive
care group One Care, has made slow
but steady strides in boosting turn-
out since its debut nine years ago,
Corbett said, noting that the
exercise class was initially attracting
as few as two to three participants.
Still, she said having only 21 people
show up in a community the size of
Seaforth highlights the challenges
facing health promotion initiatives.
"It's not a very good turnout, but at
the same time the room can't handle
a 100 people - it's just the Agriplex,"
Corbett told the Expositor. "21 is a
nice number but it's been a long time
getting up to the number."
As well, she noted that the Seaforth
exercise program has a price that can-
not be beat.
"The cost is right, it's free," Corbett
said.
One Care Home and Community
Support Services touts itself on its
website as a community based, chari-
table, not-for-profit health organiza-
tion providing supportive care to fam-
ilies in Huron and Perth Counties and
surrounding area.
The agency was formed in 2011
when three long-standing Huron and
Perth organizations came together as
One Care.
Preliminary hearing date for

It was another brief court appear-
ance for accused murderer Boris Pan-
ovski as the Crown and defense will
attempt to iron out a date for a pre-
liminary hearing over the next week.
Panovski, 70, is currently being held
at the Toronto South Detention
Centre.
He appeared in Goderich court on
Thursday morning.
The matter was adjourned until
May 28 to allow Panovski to apply for
Legal Aid and for the preliminary
hearing date to be agreed upon.
A judicial pretrial is ongoing, with
the two sides last meeting on May
15.
Panovski is charged with the mur-
der of Don Frigo and the attempted
murder of his wife Eva Willer Frigo
in connection to a shooting at the
Hullett Marsh near Clinton, Ontario
last September.
