HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1987-07-15, Page 17Page 16—CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, JULY 15, 1987 r Systems fishftig Fishermen are specialists. Some specialize in catching one species; others specialize in technique. Suc- cessful fishermen use equipment designed for specific fishing situations. This philosophy has been dubbed "systems fishing", and it's gaining popularity. In systems fishing the rod, reel, line, lure, 'even the fish scent is matched into a fishing system. For example, when casting for bluegill, perch or crappie, use small, lightweight jigs, or minute spinners. Use a small diameter, flexible line. Matched with an ultralight spinning or spincast rod and reel, this system per- forms admirably. Casting light jigs requires a flexible rod. The rod can be long or short, although a 5' 2 to 6'2 foot rod such as a Berkly Lightning Rod is a good choice. A 1/16 - 1/32 ounce jig on two to six Ib pound test line will conquer any panfish that swims. Bass fishermen specialize to the ex- tent that they may use 20 different rod and . reel combinations. An ultralight spinning system allows probing deep, clear lakes for finicky fish. A medium action baitcast rod and reel casts crankbaits, spinnerbaits and buzzbaits with ease. medium to heavy action casting rod an reel is best for plastic worm and jig fishi . Stiffer rods allow working heavy co er and sliding a lure through tough, a usive conditions where big Sports bass lurk. Use a flipping rod and reel combination for fishing at close range in the brush. And lastly, a long, medium action rod handles "kneel and reel" techniques, crankbaits and other long range casting presentations. Use flexible rods with lighter line and lures; stiffer rods with heavier line and lures. Shorter rods allow more maneuverability and more accurate casting in tight places. Long rods let anglers cast further. Graphite rods are more sensitive. Some rod manufac- turers, like Berkley, eliminate confu- sion by listing the recommended line and lure weights on the rod. Select. equipment that fits your style or system of fishing. Match the rod, reel, line and lure to maximize your fish -catching potential. People who suffer from insect bites probably already know about After Bite. It's the stuff that comes in a "felt pen type" of applicator and really relieves itching and biting. It's been a big hit after being on the market for on- ly a little over two years. Well, people who sunburn easily can also let out a cheer. The same people who make After Bite have come up with help for you. AFTER BURN is a natural solution of 98 per cent pure aloe 'Viera with lido- caine. Lidocaine provides fast relief to the initial pain of sunburn or thermal burns. And aloe vera moisturizes the skin to aid healing. The concentration of aloe vera helps prevent peeling and prolong a suntan. After Burn is sold in convenient six - ounce gel bottles, which contain 95 per cent aloe vera purity by volume. The cooling tour -ounce spray mist contains 96.9 per cent purity by volume. The gel solution is also sold in .25 fluid ounces trial size packs with an attached cents - off coupon toward full size gel or spray . After Burn's appeal as a natural healer is enhanced by the fresh herbal scent. No artificial coloring is added. The clean, comfortable feel encourages continued application for maximum effectiveness. After Burn will appear on the market in Canada this year, but it will probably not be widespread until next summer. If you spot it on a shelf, however, it might be a good thing to pick up. If you need it, you'll have it. Take a walk for your health One of the best forms of physical exercise ever invented is right under our noses. Ac- tually, closer to the ground, to be more specific. It's walking. Walking can be done anywhere, anytime, by almost anyone and it costs nothing, except the effort to get from here to there. Walking is the most popular form of exer- cise in Ontario, and not because we have to do it. A 1986 study conducted by the Sports and Fitness Branch of the Ontario Ministry of 'Tourism and Recreation indicates over one-quarter of Ontario's 6.5 million adult population engage in walking as a physical fitness activity — roughly 1.7 million people. Experts contend walking rejuvenates both body and spirit, firming muscles, loosening limbs and releasing physical and emotional tension. But the benefits depend on the way we walk. According to Dr. Roy Shephard, direc- tor of the School of Physical and Health Education at the University of Toronto, many people walk in too leisurely a fashion help their cardio -vascular systems. As a fitness activity, the idea is to burn up as many calories as possible during your walk, 1)r. Shephard says. "But the leisurely walk takes too few calories to get from point A to point B". What about the commonly -held belief that if you jog, you'll get more exercise than if you wain ' Not so, says Dr. Shephard, an ac- tive walker himself. "I actually pass people who are jogging. They're expending less energy..' Besides, he adds. jogging puts triple and stress on the knees. Most people walk at a pace which in- creases the heart rate to only 100 to 110 beats per minute. For walking to be effective, '1.10 to 150 would be a reasonable rate for the average person," f)r. Shephard says. "But don't rush into things!" advises Art Salmon, manager of the Fitness Section of Sports and Fitness Ontario. "Start slowly. Do., t expect to go out and walk five miles the first day." Before beginning a walking program, it's hest to check with your family physician. The workplace, where most of us spend most of our time. has great potential as an environment for walking fitness. 1'ven If you work in a confined office, you can. engage in workday walking. It's a good idea to plan for it even before stepping out the front door of your home. Walking can be a convenient tive minutes of exercise every morning and evening. Over five business days, that's an extra 50 minutes of exercise per week. All one has to do is leave for work five minutes earlier. For example, walking a few extra blocks to the bus stop in the fresh morning air can get you prepared for the new day. Statistics from Sports and Fitness Ontario indicates that women walk more than men. "Ten percent more women walk more than men," Mr. Salmon says. The same study showed 27 per cent of the province's adult female population walked as a form of physical fitness, compared to 17 per cent of the male population. Experts offer one reason for the gap — the family car. In'jne-car families, especially in Targe and urban areas, the man of the house often has first call on the automobile, for work and leisure travel. Women are more likely to use other forms of transportation -- usually public transit, which means a two or three -block trek to and from the bus or subway stop. Once at the office, men and women can benefit equally by taking advantage of walk- ing opportunities. One way is to take the stairs, which offers more than one life sav- ing benefit. Besides improving your physical condition, you'll also become farniliar with the fire escape route. If "stair -climbing" isn't your style, con- sider a brisk lunchtime walk before eating.' Not only will you burn up calories, you'll likely end up eating less. The operative word in this exercise is "brisk". Choihe of footwear is probably the single - most important factor in preparing for a walking program. "You don't need fancy running shoes," Dr. Shephard says. The key is to wear comfortable, lightweight shoes which allow for flexibility. Arch support and cushioning should be ade- quate for the bottom of the feet. One-fourth to one-half inch of space between the longest toe and tip of the shoe allows the feet room expand while walking. Shoes made of can- vas, nylon mesh, even soft leather, allow the feet to "breathe" during exercise. Clothing is also important. In summer, a hat or visor offers protection from the sun's rays and light-coloured, loose -fitting clothes are best. In winter, a wool cap, gloves and insulated insoles are recommended. Proper warm-up and cool -down pro- cedures should be followed. Walk slowly for five minutes at the start, gradually building up speed. This allows body temperature, heart and respiratory rate to rise, thus reducing the risk of injury. Don't forget to stretch your lower back, legs and feet before starting. When you're first about finished your walk, gradually slow down. Brief stretching exercise will pump blood 'uack up to the rest of the body. After the walk, examine your feet for tenderness which might signal the beginn- ing of a blister. if problems persist, see your doctor. By the way, if you're reading this on the way to work, get off the bus one stop early and walk! Centres receive grants Recreation facilities needing upgrading and remedial work will be getting help through the $6 million Capital Conservation Program announced on July 10 by John Eakins, Ontario Minister of Tourism and Recreation. In Southwestern Ontario approximately 80 projects will benefit from the program. The Village of Blyth will be receiving $25,557 for work on the Blyth and District Com- munity Centre.

During the Clinton Recreation Commit- tee's July 9 meeting, recreation director Steve Campbell announced that within the limited time span the new system has been at work, "it seems to be working really well." The big heater normally used to keep the pool at the proper temperature has not had to be turned on yet this season. The committee also received approval from the ministry of energy for the re- mainder of their solar grant. With the re- maining $700 coming in, the committee received a total grant of $7,000 for the work. In other recreation business, the matter of a visit from the sherriff was discussed. Mr Campbell explained that the committee has decided to take the sherriff's recommenda- tions for what has to be improved at the arena and work on them in a priority manner. The subject of the public using the town's picnic tables was also discussed. "The com- mittee has passed a resolution that the pic- nic tables can be used as long as they stay within the town limits," Mr. Campbell said. There was some discussion at the meeting on whether or not the Central Huron Secon- dary School hockey team should receive their ice team at the arena for free. Mr. Campbell explained that the final decision was, "we do offer ice time to both elementary and secondary school classes, but any organized team must pay the ap- propriate rate."

"My ministry recognizes the need to keep our recreation facilities up-to-date," said Eakins. "To meet the challenges of chang- ing recreation patterns we need to make sure our existing facilities are maintained, modernized and made safer to keep step with the times." The Capital Conservation Program is designed to fund necessary repairs to ex- isting indoor facilities such as swimming pools, arenas and community centres, as well as upgrading outdoor facilities like ball fields and playgrounds. "Ontario's recreation facilities have to reflect the needs of all residents," said Eakins. "This program enables provincial facilities to adapt to meet the special needs of the physically challenged, the elderly and the youth in every community."
