Palmerston came out skating hard' and dominated the ice for the first five minutes but were only able to score once past a tough Darren Stevenson. With just seconds left in the period, Palmerston went up 2-0. The second period started with a disputed goalwhich appeared to be kicked in but was allowed. Clinton drew close at the middle of the period when Gavin Hunter picked up a clearing pass in the neutral zone and deked both the defense and the goalie to score. Palmerston scored two quick goals at the end of the period to bring the score to 5-1. Although Clinton applied good pressure in the final period, they were unable to dent the Palmerston net and were hampered by a host of penalties. Palmerston scored three CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19, 1986—Page 17 Music and humor give fitness message • OTTAWA -The message corning out of the three-day national youth fitness symposium in Ottawa is that Canada's young people should stop working at fitness and start hav- ing fun! Music and humour - not sweat and strain - are the best ways to reach young people with a convincing, enticing fitness message. The national Fitness Fits symposium, sponsored by Fitness Canada, was designed to address the problem of sharply dropping fitness levels after adolescence. And, for the first time ever, organizers made sure they involved the target group in discussions: half the 125 delegates to the symposium were between 13 and 24 years of age. Delegates agreed that current physical activity programs, particularly those in elementary and secondary schools, are not serving the needs of youth and, in fact, may be contributing to the fact that the percen- tage of youth reaching acceptable fitness levels drops from 95 to 40 per cent from the age of 13 to the end of adolescence. Fitness and Amateur Sport Minister, Otto Jelinek, promised that recommendations from the symposium, which wrapped up Friday, December 6 would not "sit on the shelf". In the first evidence of action, two youth were added to the National Task Force on Fitness, designed to implement symposium recommendations. The symposium produced dozens of recommendations and suggestions for im- proving the way fitness programs and messages are delivered to young people. Some of the most frequently -mentioned recommendations were: 1. That youth be key contributors in the planning and delivery process of physical activity programs. This input and involve- ment must be maintained beyond the sym- posium itself. 2. That there should be a national awareness campaign informing Canadians about the problem of declining participation levels among youth. 3. That the traditional approach to physical education should be reviewed, and contemporary youth motivatorslike music, adventure, socializing and lifestyle ac- tivities be a vital element of fitness pro- grams. 4. That ongoing networking should be set up to bridge gaps between the education and recreation sectors and all levels of govern- ment. Networking should maximize the use of excisting systems, people and facilities. 5. That the marketing capability of tradi- tional agencies like the Girl Guides, Boy Scouts and the Y, be improved to make them more attractive to youth. 6. That a national strategy be developed to promote the importance of the "play" ele- ment to parents from day one of a child's life. 7. That the difference between youth and adults be recognized when programs are designed, for youth and that the difference be reflected in those programs. This awareness should influence not only what is offered, but how it istiffered. t'ij rt 8: That local youth and organizers should wirk out creative ways to involve not only existing agencies; od clubs, but also the private sector mor example, 'asking record stores to provide mu§ic or disc jockeys for school aerobic programs or dances. Na- tionally, Fitness Canada could approach large corporations for financial support in the delivery of a national promotional cam- paign. At Fitness Fits, delegates and speakers showed that fitness is not just a state of physical health: it is also a state of mind. Youth and organizers tame up with creative new ways to get hard -to -reach youth involv- ed and participating. .M1 agreed that fitness should not be the focus: fun is the place to start. This attitude showed in model programs designed by delegates.

Clinton. was leading 2-1 on goals by Jason Fleet and Shawn Chipchase, when the third period opened, finding the Clinton boys stan- ding still and Petrolia scored four goals before the Clinton forces were able to re- organize and managed to draw to within one goal on goals by Gavin Hunter and Fleet. The team put forth a respectable effort, but time ran out, leaving Petrolia 5-4 winners.

PILI 4, and an excuse to get students dancing and moving. "I can't wait to get back home and start something going! " exclaimed Veronica Gentles, a Grade 12 student from Edmon- ton. Gentles. feels youth need "something exciting, something creative" to convince them that fitness can be a 'cool' thing to do. Mark Dawe, 17, of Happy Valley, New- foundland, was surprised that his comments were taken seriously at the conference. "They were really listening to what we said. The people here actually want our input and I know this is going to be utilized." He added that it is unrealistic to expect school physical education programs to do everything. "They can only teach basic skills. But why teach basic boring when you can teach basic exciting?". Other students were planning to go home and write articles for school papers. Lisa Mayes of Saskatoon was already for- mulating a plan of action: "I'm going to go in front of the student council, and then in front of the whole school to get people in- terested in doing something," she said. Others, like Joanne McKenna of Montreal and Lisa Chandler of P..E.I., talked more about the information they had taken in than the suggestions they had given out. But all seemed to feel that they had a better handle on how to get things going in their own cor- ners of the country. Representing a Boys and Girls Club, McKenna appreciated the chance "to talk about different programs and share" with people from across the country. All in all, the girl with the Vogue • magazine who's. "afraid to sweat 'cause it's uncool," or the "guy in the Iron Maiden t - shirt in a basement in P.E.I." had better watch out. Physical fitness is on the move - and if the people who participated in the Fitness Fits symposium this week have their way, these youth will be having too much fun to notice that they're getting fit in the process. Summing up the conference, Minister of Fitness and Amateur Sport, Otto Jelinek, said, "First, we have identified problems within the education system. Youth are simply not having the positive experiences with physical activities there which will en- courage them to stay active later in life. "Second, we have highlighted the need to `be responsive to youth when we are design- ing programs for them, and we will continue to listen. "And, finally, I think we must emphasize that fitness is not a regimen or a quirk: it is a social style." But, Dr. Martin Collis of Victoria told delegates, "The government can't do it for you. The municipal recreation centre can't do it for you. The schools can't do it for you. Fitness is a do-it-yourself project." The Bayfield shooters just missed on this opportunity oft March 15. The Novice team finished its regular season play at home, hosting Exeter I. The two teams tied, 1-1.
