Recreation Report GARY LISLE, DIRECTOR As I look around town these days, I see more and more people jogging. Both young and old can take part in this activity without the pressure that competition so often provides. Jogging is simply running at a very slow pace and is very good for fitness. People are being constantly uvc,xtiiai ded wiiii fitness gim- micks but a good explanation, use of films, tests and the presen.ta- 'tion of research data would do a great deal to improve upon com- munity members understanding of why it is so important to be fit. It might also instill in the majority of the community a better attitude towards fitness, Jogging is an activity that im- proves the cardio -respiratory systems. Cardio is a fancy word that has to do with the heart and respiratory is related to ..our breathing. By making the heart stronger, it is better able to do the job at hand — namely distribute the blood throughout the body. Because the heart is essentially a muscle bathed in blood, it is important to maintain its quality. Like any other muscle, the heart will perform and do a better job the stronger it is. However; undue strain can cause damage to this delicate organ. Jogging at a pace that is comfortable for you and for a time determined by yourself can be rewarding in fitness improve- ment as well as the feeling of `ease' that it gives you. As mentioned earlier, our respiratory system is also great- ly affected by jogging. When we breathe, we take in a number of gases but the most important one is oxygen. This oxygen goes into the lungs, where it diffuses into the bl000d stream and is carried by the blood to all parts of the body. The oxygen is used by the body cells to do the required work and the product, carbon dioxide is released into the blood and re- turned to the lungs where it is ex- pelled. By increasing the amount of oxygen that we get to the cells, we can increase the -.amount of available energy and thus our ability to perform the task at hand. Jogging helps to improve upon the lungs' ability to get as much oxygen into the blood as possible. This presentation is very brief and by no means complete, but I hope it at least explains some of • the unanswered questions about fitness as it is related to our lungs and heart. As with any type of fit- ness, cardio -respiratory fitness is . not something that can be ac- complished overnight. It is im- portant to our every day living and as such should be made a part of pur daily activities. There are a number of people in town who have taken up jogging in the past year. I am personally acquainted with three people (and I'm sure there are more) who have been running for a number of years and have made it a part of their daily routine. They do it not for the fitness alone, but because they feel so good after they jog. To further explain the import- ance of fitness, it is hoped that this winter we can have classes, possibly as a part of night school, to try to better educate the public in regards to fitness. Wingham juvenile girls win first playoff game The Wingham Juvenile Girls completed their league schedule in fine style with a big win over the league's top team in. Dublin. The game was one of the best played matches of the entire season and the . Wingham girls came home with a well-earned 14- 8 victory. Doreen Taylor pitched an excellent game for the team and was strong offensively get- ting on base six times and scoring three runs. This ,contest was a total team effort with every player con- tributing to the win, Probably the best defensive play of the game was' a fantastic shoe -string catch by right fielder Laurie Johnston, which saved a couple of runs. Defeating the league cham- pions in the final game of the schedule, gave the girls the psychological boost they needed heading into the first round of the playoffs. The opposition for the first seriesis Ripley. After being rained out several times, the opening game of the series was played in Ripley. on Friday night. Despite the very cold temperatures the team con- tinued its good defensive play and came away with a 20-10 win and a one game lead in the best -of -three series. Once again, Doreen Taylor supplied very effective pitching as well as coming up big offen- sively, hitting two singles and a double; Several of the girls were strong offensively: Janice Coultes had three doubles and a triple; Kathy Cruickshank hit a single and two doubles; Esther Nethery had two singles and a triple; and Peggy Tervit added a single and two triples. The team has lacked effective batting in recent games and it's a good sign to see the girls coming on strong offensively aftera bad slump. The team is playing the kind of ball that can take them a long way in these playoffs so come out and give them your support. Bar- ring more problems with the weather there will be a game in Wingham Friday night at 7:00 p.m. Bear:blamed in livestock lass A bear has been blamed for killing a cow and two calves in Bruce.
