Scheduled for October 1st at the Oshawa Centennial Pool, the fun swim event has two objectives; to increase public awareness of Synchronized Swimming and to raise $3,500 for local Lung Association programs and services. The main portion of the evening will be given over to Team Relay races, and twenty-eight 4 member teams are currently registered to compete for the Oshawa Trophy. Six heats will be swum - Media, Law and Order, Business, Health Services, Non-Profit/Education and Medical. All team swimmers will raise pledges to sponsor their participation in the event. Highlight of the evening will be a Synchronized Swimming display by members of the Oshawa Kiwanis Synchronized Swim Club, with a special guest appearance by Junior National Champion Team Etobicoke Olympia. Lung Association and Synchro-Ontario organizers are pleased with the response to date, but would like to see more entries from local business. "This is a fun event, not a competitive Swim Meet" says Lung Association organizer Angela Tibbies. "The only requirement is to stay afloat for one length of the pool".

By Peter Parrott I know of few people who do not have a favorite season. Mine is autumn. autumn. No sane individual would enjoy winter for a hundred reasons as numerous as there are snowflakes on a suburban doorstep. Unless you like scraping ice off windshields or wading through slush that just just manages to overflow the toe-rubbers, toe-rubbers, you won't like winter. Winter is for polar bears and seals. Spring is all right. But I've always found it a trifle too muddy and too green. Blades of grass shoot skywards skywards like emerald rockets. Weeds, trees, and everything else grow so fast that you can almost get tired watching them. Summer would be fine if only we Canadians had the personalities to enjoy it. Summer was meant to be a time to laze on beaches and to absorb absorb the heat in mindless, sundrenched sundrenched oblivion. As northerners, we can never quite enjoy such laziness. laziness. We're too used to working hard just to survive the climate. .Therefore, we cannot sun ourselves like lizards on rocks without feeling guilty. No sooner are we comfortably comfortably enjoying the sunshine than there's the urge to go and sharpen the lawn mower blades or check the tires on the snowblower. That brings us back to autumn. Autumn is when the common maple tree you've ignored all year looks suddenly like it could leap into the centre of a group of seven landscape. Autumn is the smoke from a wood fire and hot apple cider. Autumn is frost by night and ripe, pumpkin- yellow sunlight by day. Autumn is geese and ducks carving carving their honking and quacking monograms into an evening sky. There are some who see spring as a season for beginnings. But for many Canadians, the time for a fresh start is the fall. This, of course, is due in part to the school calendar which decrees that a new year in school shall begin in September. Many other ideas and projects which have been dormant since the spring suddenly get a new burst of energy when that first bracing blast of autumn air wafts southward from the tundra. If you're a Canadian and you plan to join a night school course, play hockey, write a book, or start some other long overdue project, you'll probably begin in the fall. That's because autumn, in its backwards backwards way, is the time for renewed energy in the northern hemisphere. Those new leaves that Canadians turn over are more likely to be autumn autumn yellow than spring green. Steps That Should Be T aken to Prepare Your Pool for Winter Mrs. Helen White of Bowmanville and Mrs. Mary Montgomery of Gravenhurst are pleased to announce announce the forthcoming marriage of their children children Deborah Helen and Malcolm James; The ceremony will be held at 6 p.m. on Saturday, October October 8th at Trinity United Church. QAAf/te tk^Best in Sight" In Canada and most particularly particularly in those non-maritime areas where the ground freezes deep and solid, there are some definite precautions to take to ensure the continued performance of the inground swimming pool. When the moisture in the ground freezes, it expands having a devastating effect on unprepared equipment. When the time comes to close the pool, there are some choices to make which will not endanger the pool, but might create an added expense in cleaning or maintenance in the future. Some people cover the pool and some do not. If you have a situation where leaves or plant life- might be blown into the pool during those windy fall days before freeze-up, you may want to cover the pool. If you are in an area where there are small animals, domestic pets as well as wild life, a properly installed installed cover can prevent an unsavory unsavory problem. Here are the steps to close down most in- ground pools: 1. Vacuum the pool thoroughly thoroughly and check the p.h. 2. For vinyl lined pools, raise the p.h. to eight on the test kit. 3. Backwash the sand filter three or four times as long as normal. (Approximately 10 minutes.) 4. Lower the pool water two inches below the return fittings fittings by pumping or with the pool circulation system. To use the pool circulation system for lowering the water you must follow these procedures: procedures: a. ) Be sure main drain flap is open. b. ) Place the vacuum plate in the skimmer after removing the weir and basket. c. ) Cover the vacuum hose hole in the vacuum plate with the plug which is labelled "For draining pool." d. ) Place a brick on the vacuum plate, to hold it firmly in place. e. ) When the water is below below the skimmer opening, run a trickle from your garden hose to maintain tiie seal between the vacuum plate and the skimmer body. 5. Use a filter bed cleaner to clean the sand, following the instructions on the sana bed cleaner package. 6. Open the filter drain at the bottom of the tank and leave it open. If it has a cap or plug, C ut the plug in the strainer asket and vaseline the tank threads. Be sure the filter dial valve is either on "winterize" or between settings to let air into the filter tank to allow complete drainage. 7. Remove the pump drain plug and pump strainer basket plug. Put them into the strainer strainer basket and remove the strainer basket and store. Leave the strainer basket cover off. Lubricate the threaded openings. If there is a backwash sight-glass or pressure gauges at the filter, remove and store. 8. Cover the pump and motor with plastic. 9. Disconnect the return lines at the filter blow the water out of the lines with a vacuum discharge. 10. Remove and store the eyeball fittings from the returns returns and plug the openings with winterizing plugs. 11. Remove the skimmer parts, floating weir, strainer basket and valve plate. 12. Place a length of garden hose, sealed at both ends, into the suction line at the bottom of the skimmer to take up expansion. 13. Place a plastic bottle with ballast in the skimmer to absorb expansion. 14. The pool water should be about six inches be' skimmer opening 15 doc sta Co- an" sp st VI F 16. Use petroleum jelly, or other suitable rust preventative, preventative, to coat any unpainted or unprotected metal parts subject subject to corrosion. 17. Install one litre of 20 percent algaecide per 20,000 gallons of water. 18. Place the cover on the pool and fasten securely. Note: The use of water tubes to secure the cover prevents any possible damage which may occur from high winds and prevents excess debris from entering under the cover.
