Wingham Advance-Times, 1977-06-08, Page 17WARD & UPTIGROVE (519) 291-3040 CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS How long has it been since you've had a he to he with your body? Pa%%TIC%ParrIof The Canadian movement for personal fitness Fitness. In your heart you know it's right. Hare it up with Charlie Tickets are still available for the pork barbecue and barn dance "Ham It up with Charlie" featuring Charlie Farquharson at the Seaforth Community Centre this Saturday. Supper starts at 7:30 p.m. and includes barbe- cued pork chops with all the trim- mings. Charlie, Canada's fav- orite country cousin, will deliver an after-dinner address with his rollicking views of "jog -free", "History", politics and the arts. Following dinner will be a country barn dance featuring Chris Black and the Swinging Brass playing music with a coun- try pop flavor as well as old-time fiddling and square dnacing. Ron Gethke, a well known local auc- tioneer will take over the show three times during the evening to auction off an opportunity of a lifetime — a dance with Charlie Farquharson! All proceeds from the evening's festivities go to the Blyth Centre' for the Arts to raise funds for their 1977 summer season of plays at Blyth Memorial Hall. Mr. Farquharson, one of the stars of television's "Hee-Haw" and a famous Canadian author and broadcaster, holds a special place in the hearts of country and city folk alike. He is a character created by Don Harron, Cana- dian actor, playwright, and author of international repute who has co-starred with such fa- mous stage personalities as Sir Alec Guinness, Katherine Hep- burn, George C. Scott and Tyrone Power. THESE LITTLE LADIES are the Disco Ducks, a dance and twirl team composed of the Very first members in the Wingham Canadettes..

Participark is an idea being promoted by Kinsmen Clubs across Canada, with cooperation, from the Sun Life Assurance Company and PARTICIPaction. It consists of a fitness trail with 11 activity stations spaced along it. It can be adapted to any exist- ing park. The concept originated in Europe and the use of such trails has become a way of life in many Eurapean countries. In Canada, Participarks are in varying stages, of planning and construction ,in almost, 200 'com- munities from coast to coast. The first one opened April 1 of this year in PortPCoquitlam, B,C., and it •is expected that within five years there may be as many as 1,000 such parks in operation. The primary objective of a Participark is to help motivate fairly inactive people to become more physically active. A Participark consists of a trail for walking or ;jogging up to 21/2 kilometres (1 i/z miles) in length through a park setting. Every 200 metres 'or so 'is • an exercise station consisting of a sign on a post describing the exercise to be performed. Simple, inexpensive equipment made of wooden posts, poles or bars are located at each of these stations to suit a specific exercise. A Participark combines self - motivating exercise activities with a pleasant, outdoor recrea- tional experience. It provides an opportunity for people of all ages to increase their personal fitness in an interesting and fun way. It is a movement experience rather than a true physical work- out. Even those with a low fitness level will find a Participark appealing. At the same time each station offers increasing chal- lenge as the fitness level of the user improves. Lawn bowlers invite members A pot luck supper was enjoyed by more than 20 members of the Lawn Bowling Club Thursday evening. Many complimentary remarks were made about the appearance of the club house. The new siding and the closed in porch are visible changes from the outside but one has to get inside to see the carpeting and the panelling of the interior. - Some of the hardier members went out to throw a few bowls following the", supper; while the majority enjoyed the warmth of the club house and spent the' evening playing cards. We are still looking for new members 'so don't be shy come along and join us. It's still not too late to put your name in for the round robin. Observe safety .tips :when boating Inexperience, 'overconfidence, carelessness, disregard. for the weather, lack of responsibility and neglect in taking normal pre cautions are the general factors that cause the majority of drown- ing fatalities from pleasure boats, The Ontario Safety League reports that during the 1976 rec- reational boating season there were 98 drownings from pleasure boats in the province. Almost 94 per cent of those drowned were not wearing life jackets, 53 per cent were under 30 years -of -age, 44 per cent were canoeists and 70 per cent of the drownings were attributable to capsizing or swamping. Many novice boaters feel that operating an outboard.motorboat or a small cruiser is as easy as driving a car. They overlook the fact that pavement does not make waves that can cause tipping or swamping. Many ignore the fact that courtesy on our waterways is entirely dif- ferent than courtesy on our road- ways because more variables are involved. It is evident that too many • canoeists are attempting to venture out in situations for which they have little experience. Above any other type of pleasure boat operator, a canoeist must be thoroughly knowledgeable about his sport, take greater pre- cautions and be constantly aware of changing weather conditions.
