After stretching muscles, that you didn't know you had, the blood starts flowing and you feel as though all the sweating just may be worth it. According to Dianne Pike, a choeographer with Bodyfit, the old myth "it has to hurt to be doing any good" is no longer true. Bodyfit offers two programs, Trim -NI: Dance and Trim -A -Size. Trim -N -Dance' formerly Dance Fit, allows a person t stretch and tone muscles with ca diovascular dance routines. According Sandy Sowerby, a Trim -A -Size instructor, Trim -N -Dance is similar to a jazz class, incorporating ballet, and Trim -A -Size has more exercising and less dancing. Both programs hope to achieve car- diovascular fitness, flexibility, strength, muscle tone, weight loss and an overall feeling of well being. It is emphasized that fitness is a personal thing, with the in- dividual bodies needing individual attention, so the participants should work at their own level. The Trim -A -Size program has a moderately paced night for those who wish to join, but in the other classes, the par- ticipants are not asked to do more than they think they are capable of. In last week's article on the skate-a- thon, seven names were omitted from those attending the amateur coaches clinic. They were Nancy Woodward, Jennifer Huyck, Carol Dechert, Maureen Scott, Alison Powell, Sonya McCallum and Aveleigh Cook. +++ Some of the skaters with the Goderich Figure Skating Club have been attending Fall skating schools.

Goderich skateaa-thou raises over $2,800 This past Saturday, 95 skaters took part in the skate-a-thon organized by Goderich Minor Hockey, the Goderich Figure Skating Club and the Goderich Ringette Associa- tions. A total amount of $2,858.90 was pledged and a total of 63 skaters completed the full 10 hours of skating. They received medals for the completion. The skaters with the highest amount of pledges were Glenn Woodard, Kevin Merrigan, Allison Powell and Nancy Woodard. The following businesses donated mer- chandise to be used as draw prizes for the skaters: The Met, Nakamura Pharmacy, Canadian Tire, Heads Up, Peoples, The Burger Bar, Dirk's and Sheaffer Pen. The A & P, Macs and Tuckey Beverages donated food and beverages for the skaters. Some of the mothers of the skaters also donated sandwiches. Minor Hockey, the Figure Skating Club and Ringette Associations have to hold fund raising events in order to help cover the ex- penses involved in running the three groups. The registration fees charged by the groups do el'at cover all the expenses for the year. The three groups greatly appreciate all the donations of goods, volunteers who donated their time :And most of all, the people who he'.ped by sponsoring the skaters.

( photo by Anne Narejko) Seniors combine for 320 yards BY TD The GDCI senior Vikings played their best game of the season last Thursday in Strat- ford, crushing the previously undefeated Northwestern Huskies 37-0 in Huron -Perth football action. The Huskies were 3-0 going into the game and had given up only 13 points in those three games. The Viking offence changed the Huskies admirable statistical record in a hurry, as they piled up over 320 yards on the ground and in the air. The well-balanced Viking at- tack was reflected in the scoring: five touchdowns by five different players. Northwestern threatened early, running the ball on a sweep to the Viking one yard line where Jeff Feagan made the saving tackle, but the play was called back anyway for a clipping violation. Later in the first quarter the Huskies threatened again, pushing the ball to the Goderich 15 yard line, but two successive tackles behind the line of scrimmage pushed Stratford back to the 25 where the unve manned. From that point on it was all Vikings. The Huskies had a net yardage gain of only 53 yards on the after- noon's play. The Vikings opened the scoring on their second play from scrimmage with a 63 yard pass and run play from quarterback John Thompson to Grant Garrow. Joe Melady kicked the convert, the first of his five for five day. Jeff Feagan scored a second quarter touchdown on an 18 yard sweep and Ed Craig went seven yards off -tackle to give the Vikings a 21-0 half time lead in the rain - drenched affair. Lee Frisby went over on a two -yard dive for the next Viking touchdown and John McGraw took the ball five yards to score the final Goderich major. Rick Haas tackled the Huskies punter in the end zone for a two- point safety touch in the final quarter.
