Keep going. F'or all that has been produced on fitness in the last few years, these are two areas which have received relatively little attention.Yet for many people to -day. these are the most pressing fitness issues. Most everyone knows that fitness makes sense. But for all those who want to get fit, about 8 in 10 either can't get themselves moving or can't seenrto keep themselves going. Ready, set, no J.M. is all dressed up for fitness, but he can't get himself to get up and go He just doesn't feel like it today. The same thing happened yesterday. and the day before that and... In the early stages of your fitness efforts you may come up against a very common problem: you've decid- ed to get fit, but, when the time comes for activity, you just don't feel like do- ing anything. What's wrong? You might automatically assume that there is something wrong with you. But this is rarely the case. Rather. the problem is the by-product of the inac- tivity habit. We don't generally think By Jack Riddell A report commissioned by the On- tario Government has been released which reviews advocacy for vulnerable adults living in Ontario. Written by Father Sean O'Sulivan. the report outlines the current situation regarding non -legal advocacy ser- vices in the province and proposes the adoption of a new model for the delivery of such services. Father O'Sullivan said the essence of advocacy is empowering people to take charge of their own lives. Vulnerable adults who could be helped include the frail elderly. the physically handicapped, the psychiatrically disabled and the developmentally handicapped. The report recommends the On- tario Government establish a central advocacy office along with offices in different regions of the province. As well, it recommends a network of volunteer advocates who would lobby governments and institutions on behalf of disabled people. Attorney General Ian Scott, who commissioned the report in December 1986. said Father O'Sullivan's report "represents an important first step on the road to the more sensitive delivery of services to vulnerable adults in this province." Mr. Scott said the report's recom- mendations will be seriously con- sidered by the Ministries of the At- torney General, Health and Com- munity and Social Services. More women as top civil servants Premier Peterson announced last week a major restructuring of the senior civil service of the Ontario Government including the appoint- ment of nine deputy ministers. PRESENTATION — Adrian Norte of the Exeter Times Advocate presents the nomination for Junior Citiztsn of the Year on behalf of the Ontario Community Newspapers Association to Peter Buwalda of RR 4 Denfield.

Over the years, we get used to taking the inactive approach to doing things: we take the elevator instead of the stairs. drive to the cor- ner store instead of walking, watch sports instead of playing .
