The Huron Expositor, 1984-11-21, Page 121 !' D [A16 — THE HURON EXPOSITOR, NOVEMBER 21, 1984 FEATURES_ HuIIett° increases fees At a special meeting of township council, Hullett councillors voted to increase the rental fee paid to the Ministry of Transporta- tion and Communications (MTC) for the municipality's use of the council chambers and municipal office. Reeve Tom Cunning- ham was absent from the Oct. 23 meeting, fulfilling duties as warden. In former agreement, the municipality agreed to pay $750 a year for the use of the space. That agreement ended at the close of 1981 but Hullett Township continued paying the same amount until MTC's recent request for a new contract. Council decided to offer the ministry $1,000 a year for the space. REQUEST HEARINGS In response to a letter circulated to municipalities by the union for employees of Canadian National Railways (CN) and Cana- dian Pacific Railways (CP), council passed a motion to send a letter td relevant depart- ments concerning the abolition of the caboose. Council decided Clerk Harry Lear to write to the MTC and the Chairman of the Canadian Transport Commission to request additional heanngs before any decision is made on the future of the caboose. Presently, only one hearing has been scheduled for all of Canada and will be held in Hull, Quebec. Hullett Township requested at (east one hearing in each of Canada's provinces before the decision is made. The union's letter pointed out some off the dangerous aspects off eliminating the caboose from trains.

And, according to Kevin Duguay, who's currently offering a four week program at Vanastra to men who wish to learn how to function in a weight room, the reasons vary with each individual. "There are four reasons that seem to crop up' most often. One, the guy wants to develop strength. Two, he's there for general conditioning. Three, he's there for toning and/or weight reduction or four, he's there to get in shape and to improve his performance in a particular sport," says Mr. Duguay, A weight trainer himself, Mr. Duguay has assisted with and conducted weight training programs for a number of groups and individuals in the last five years. He says he saw a need for education on the use of the facilities at the Vanastra Recreation Centre, and offered to run a program. Mr. Duguay is receiving no remunera- tion for his instruction. The fee charged to the men attending the training sessions will be used to upgrade weight training facilities at Vanastra in the future. What Mr. Duguay says he hopes to accomplish through his program is to give men direction in the use of the weight room - teach them how to properly use the equipment and how to find a program that will suit their. individual needs. • "1 don't think people expect to get in shape after,four, two hour sessions. That's not the purpose of this course. I'm here to teach the guys how to meet their own needs, and those will vary depending on the level •of fitness they're aspiring towards. Some guys may only be trying to lower their heart rate, others to gain an element of strength. "When you first step into a weight room, it's like looking at a road map and not knowing how to drive. I'm here to teach the men to drive." In the four weeks of the course the men receive two hours of lecture and six hours of practical demonstration of the various aspects of weight training and general fitness. And as a result, they should gain a new insight into the realm of physical fitness. One of the advantages of attending such a course is that it teaches men how to put variety into their personal training. "Most guys will say "situs" if you ask them what exercise will improve their stomach muscles. I teach them 18 different exercises for the stomach so they can pick and chose which ones they want to do. I also show them proper form, technique and posture for doing the various exercises safely and to the greatest advantage," says Mr. Duguay. But more important than the exercises done in a routine, Mr, Duguay stresses a good warmup. "You have to think of yourself as a car. SHEER GAIT—Rob Brunault was one of a number of guys who are taking advantage of a No one jumps into a car and immediately goes 100 miles per hour. If that car is anything like mine, it'll stall twice before it even starts moving. The human body is the same way." Mr. Duguay says he hopes that by offering the course he can encourage men to make better use of whatever facilities are at their disposal. He plans to make his students more aware of their bodies and of the personal fitness levels they want to achieve and maintain. He concurs that his course is no immediate answer to any individual's dreams about what he can be, but that dreams can become reality if one works at it. "After this session people should be able to see some improvement, but it won't be anything substantial. They'll have to continue working out a couple times a week if they want to see a marked difference in themselves." But more than straight weight training is . weight training course at Vanastra Recrea- tion Centre. (Mcllwraitb photo) needed to achieve an overall level of fitness, he says. "Weight training doesn't help the aerobic capacity. It helps the blood flow and circulation, but it is not taxing the heart and lung system. And because it doesn't, it's important that ore combines these two areas of exercise to attain overall fitness. By weight training you are only developing one component of fitness." Mr. Duguay says he hopes to conduct similar courses at Vanastra in the future, for men and women. He plans to hold an advanced weight training course in the new year. In addition to his sessions at Vanastra, Mr. Duguay does meet with individuals on a one-to-one basis. Mr. Duguay will work with an individual, help assess their needs and desires in regards to their personal fitness level, and set up a program which will best help that individual achieve that oal, CELE s RATIONS (PHELANS PLACE) APPLIANCE DISTRIBUTORS Sebringville & Seaforth QUALITY APPLIANCES AT TRUCKLOAD PRICES!!

Mr. Elston, MPP for Huron -Bruce, suc- ceeds Patrick Reid who resigned his Rainy River scat to enter private industry. "1'm sure Murray will continue the tough-minded analysis of government spend- ing which marked Pat's years as public accounts chairman. The task is particularly crucial at this time as the federal and provincial Conservatives attempt to cut spending on important social and environ. - mental programs while continuing to squan- der in other areas," said Mr. Peterson. Mr. Elston, a native of Wingham and lawyer by training, was first elected to the Ontario Legislature in 1981. His first Caucus assignment was as Critic for the Solicitor General. Most recently he has been the Party's Environment Critic. "I am honored to be elected chairman of the Public Accounts Committee and am pleased by the expression of trust and support expressed in my abilities by all members of the committee. 1 am also indebted to my `Leader David Peterson who has appointed me to be a member of the Committee and look forward to serving the interests of the people of Ontario as Chairman of Public Accounts by ensuring a thorough disclosure of the spending of public funds by this government." said Mr. Elston. • Filter Queen "IN THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN VARNA" i` 482-7103 PRE CHRISTMAS SPECIAL ALL SEIKO WATCHES Loug rey's Jewellery & Gifts MITCHELL PH. 348-9607
