Home My WebLink AboutThe Goderich Signal-Star, 1983-04-20, Page 49gin These Robertson Public School students are only a few of the children from 14 Huron County elementary schools who are taking part in a new fitness program. Jump Rope for Lit Heart not only encourages fitness but also helps raise money for the Ontario Heart Fondation.( photo by T.Marr) Program helps OHF and students On Tuesday, April 26 approximately 50 students from Robertson Public School and Colborne Central School will be taking part in a- new fund-raising event. The event which the students will be participating in is called a jump-a-thon. Cosponsored by the Ontario Heart Foundation (OHF) and the Ontario Physical Education Association (OPHEA) the jump-a-thon is the result of a new physical activity program. The idea of the program is to promote physical fitness through skipping and to , educate children on thy: relationship between good exercise and a healthy heart. In order to increase the level of their physical fitness the students learn the basics of skipping, which they do to music, and they also learn how to perform intricate gymnastics such as hand- springs while skipping. Although the prime ob- jective of the program is to promote skipping the program also helps raise money for the OHF, the OPHEA and the par- ticipating schools. In order to reach the $1.6 million goal which the OHF hopes to meet . the organization has• distributed the free plastic skipping ropes which +hp..--n.1ts use. The OHF has also provided free instuctional material. Once the students have been taught various skipping techniques the school holds a jump.a-thon. At Robertson School teams made up of six students each, will skip for three continuous hours. The students are sponsored either by the minute or by the hour. Once the pledges have been collected 90 per cent of the proceeds will go to the OHF, 5 per cent will go to the OPHEA, and the remaining 5 . per cent to Robertson and Colborne, Schools. Big prizes in Molson fish contest The silver anniversary of the "Molson" Big Fish Con- test casts off on the 15th day of April and will celebrate with the addition of a new catch and live release category. The 25 year old contest, operated by the On- tario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, has over $35,000 in cash and prizes to be won. Anglers can win 18 Evinrude electric trolling motors and 270 Mitchell rod and reel combinations, plus up to $600 cash in each of nine species categories. In addition to these awards, an honor award will be sent to each entrant whose fish meet the minimum stan- dards in both the regular and a new live release category. The live release category is a special addition to this year's contest which will enable those sportsmen that catch and release fish, the opportunity of entering the contest. The only difference is you will' have to carry a camera and measuring, tape in your tackle box to be„pble to adequately complete the . entry form. Each fish can only be entered in one category or the other but of- fers a conservation oriented alternative to the angler. This year, the coho and chinook will be combined in- to one sahnon category. Leading- fish scientists have determined it is becoming more and more difficult to distinguish between the two species without doing an in- ternal examination. The in- creasing similarities between the salmon are presumed to be the result of similar habitats • being shared by both species. • All fish may be entered in one of the following nine categories and those reaching the minimum length or . weight re- quirements listed are eligi- ble to win a personalized commemorative 25th an- niversary plaque. Largemouth Bass: 5 pounds (catch and keep), 20 inches (catch and live release); `Northern Pike: 15 pounds, 40 inches; Walleye: 8 pounds, 28 inches; Rain- bow Trout: 6 pounds, 24 in- ches; Salmon (Coho and Chinook) : 12 pounds, 29 in- ches; Smallmouth Bass: 4 pounds, 19 inches; Maskinonge: 20 pounds, 45 inches; Lake Trout: 15 pounds, 32. inches; Speckled Trout: 3 pounds, 19 inches. Ontario's most prestigious fishing contest has attained international recognition. All entries are subject to On- tario Fishing Regulations.' The entry forms for 1983 are available at most tackle shops, lodges, taxidermists, Evinrude dealerships, "ANGLER ..
