Fluffy fun There was lots of sunshine and fluffy fresh snow to make the Families in Motion tobogganing party down Brussels Lions Park Hill this past Saturday a real fun for all. The program is geared to getting families active and healthy. It is sponsored by Brussels Public School in co- operation with the Health Unit. BPS promotes family fitness Firefighters answer false alarm In an effort to encourage regular physical activity, Brussels Public School is participating in the Huron County Health Unit's "Families in Motion" project. • The kick-off for the month long program was part of an assembly on Jan. 6 at the school. Grade 7 stu- dents along with Patty Bennett, Huron County Director of Educa-, tion Paul Carroll, Medical Officer of Health Dr. Maarten Bokhout, Wendy Martin, Public Health Nurse Marguerite Thomas and the Spink family took part in a perfor- mance to explain the program. Mrs. Thomas was called upon to tell Captain Active (Dr. Bokhout) what Brussels students were plan- ning. Physical activity, she said, is any form of exercise that moves your bodies, your arms and legs for 20-30 minutes. It can be work or fun, she said. The youngest student from each family in the school received a cal- endar on which they can mark the physical activities they do. After three activities have been done each student returns a footprint they they were given, to the teach- er. The footprints are posted and each scores a point. The goal for Brussels, Mrs. Thomas told Cap- There will be no increase in sewage rates in Brussels, at least for the present. At their Jan. 2 meeting council- lors decided not to increase the rates by 25 to 50 cents a month, unless unexpected costs arise dur- ing the year. The decision came after council learned that there will be no modi- fications to the sewage treatment plant in 1995. After pressure from the Ontario Clean Water Agency to modify the plant to allow greater sludge storage capacity, council has been informed the agency has no funds to carry out the modifica- tions. Clerk-Treasurer Donna White said the current rates provide nearly $14,000 in revenues a month. About $12,000 of this must be paid for operations of the plant leaving $2,000 a month for a reserve fund for future repairs (or the modifica- tain Active is 452 points. Some of the ideas suggested in the skit were snowmobiling, walk- ing, snow baseball and running. One student, however, said that their father didn't like to go out in the cold after dark. The father (Mr. Carroll) agreed. "I like to sit and watch TV all evening." Mrs. Thomas said there were still many activities that could be done inside and she called on Ms Ben- nett, a co-op student from F.E. Madill to demonstrate some "active living". Ms Bennett asked everyone pre- sent to imagine that it is a typical snowy winter night and everyone in the family is watching TV. You decide you've been sitting long enough and you want to get mov- ing," she said. "Well, here's an idea for an activity that the whole family can enjoy." She told the audience to stand then said they would be taking a short trip across Canada which began with an early morning stretch. This was followed various movements to demonstrate such things as swimming, paddling, canoeing, rock climbing and hik- ing. tion project). A 25 cent increase would have generated an extra $1,782 a year while a 50 cent increase would have meant $3,565 more for the reserve. "I don't see the need for an Continued on page 7 Claudia Spink, representing the parents' association, along with her daughters Loren and Jessica invited everyone to attend a tobogganing party at Lions' Park Hill. Ms Martin then extended an invi- tation for a fun night at The Ark on Jan. 18, while Philip Graber invited families to take part in a ski event sponsored by the Leos. Mrs. Thomas said it is important to teach children the value of physi- cal activity and make it an enjoy- able part of their everyday life. Statistics show that children today are up to 40 per cent less active than they were 30 years ago. Also, 40 per cent of Canadian children have at least one risk fac- tor for heart disease because of their inactive lifestyle. The average child, she said, watches more than 26 hours of TV and spends up to 30 hours sitting in school each week. Finally, 40 per cent of five to eight year olds in North America are classified as obese. "These are alarming statistics," she says. "Regular physical activity benefits us all and is important for the present and future health and .vellbeing of our children." ATTENTION BRUSSELS, MORRIS, GREY DIABETICS AND ALL INTERESTED PEOPLE.
