Page 4 The Claringlon/Courticc Independent. Bowmanvillc, Saturday, October 11, 1997 LIFESTYLE TIPS Exercising through thick and thin CFLRI: The Researchers in Active Living K V Halminen Homes Settles lor 3-3 Tie A typical dropout rate of 50% has been observed for exercise programs in general. Maintaining exercise is even more difficult in older women, who have not been socialized into physical activity. With funding from the Canadian Fitness and Lifestyle Research Institute. Dr. Elizabeth Ready and her team from the University of Manitoba monitored the extent to which older women with high cholesterol continued to walk regularly for a onc-vear period after completing a supervised walking program. Each of the 29 participants received three follow-up questionnaires. questionnaires. sent 3, 6 and 12 months after the supervised program. In total. 21 women returned all three questionnaires. They recorded tile number of days walked, the duration duration per day and the average heart rale while walking for the previous seven days. They also provided reasons for maintaining or not maintaining a regular program of walking. Results show that after 12 months, one third of the participants continued to walk for more than four hours per week. 5(1% walked from two to four hours each week and 20% had quit walking. The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in the frequency of walks every week (which dropped 33%) rather than the duration of walks (which dropped only 11%, from 54 to 48 minutes). When asked what kept them walking regularly, the participants cited feeling better or less tired as the principal reasons. Encouragement or positive comments from others also provided incentive, as did looking belter, self-motivation and habit. Less important were the walking study, physicians' advice and weight loss. Reasons for reducing the walking program revolved around lack of lime, injury and lack of energy or motivation. Dr. Ready and her team point out that registration in a supervised study may provide the incentive or feeling of obligation necessary for older women to put family demands aside temporarily and do something for themselves on a regular basis. Among the reasons for not walking were "selling the house." "baby-sitting grand children" or "helping husband with the business." It may not be lack of self-discipline so much as lack of emphasis on self that kept many women from continuing to walk regularly. Here arc some tips to keep exercising exercising through thick and thin: • Try to be active every day. Frequency is key to reaping health benefits. It also creates momentum for further physical activity. • Select an enjoyable activity and focus on the sensations of feeling better and less tired. • Consider a supervised program. Besides the social aspects, the structure of a program may help you to set aside some time for yourself in order to stay active. On Sunday night the Toros welcomed the Newmarket Rcdmcn into the nest. Finally after playing playing half the period in the Rcdmcn zone, they broke out on a break away and put one in off the post. The second period was all Clarington as the boys scored three unanswered goals. The first one was a rebound scored by Greg Ncmisz after Denver Brown kept the puck in at the point and fired a howitzer that the goalie couldn't control. Then Brock Murphy blasted one in on a break away after a perfect feed from Allan Dillon. Luke Pithcr got the third Toro goal while killing a penalty as lie shot it in off a Rcdmcn stick. The third period was a complete opposite of the second as Newmarket came on like gangbusters. They had a powerplay goal nullified nullified because they had a man in the crease, but scored shortly after before the penalty was over. The Rcdmcn swarmed the Toro net, looking for the equalizer equalizer and finally scored on a wraparound. The final five minutes were nerve wracking wracking as both teams drove to the net, looking for the winner. winner. Neither team scored resulting in a very well played 3-3 tic. This leaves the Minor Novice Toros record at three wins and one tic. Assists in this game went to Denver Brown, Carl Andrews, Dan McCarthy, Kurds Allen and Michael Bcrney. The line of Pithcr, Ncmisz and Allen was a factor all night as they buzzed the Rcdmcn net. The defense tandem of Scott Dwinncll and Zak Snowden was awesome, constantly breaking up the opposition's attack. The goaltcnding duo of Dylan Burns and Scott Juiikin was awesome, constantly thwarting Rcdmcn attacks. Help support the Minor Novice Toros by buying your Halloween Pumpkins from the boys.

Preston The Movers Minor Atom Toros Open with Setback Clarington Preston the Movers Minor Atom Toros hockey club opened their 1997/1998 season against the 1 New Tecumseh Tornados and came out on the short end of a 3-1 score. The home town Toros came out flying and generated several early scoring chances, but could not find the back of the net. Meanwhile the visiting Tornados capitalized on their early chances, and suddenly the young Bulls were facing a 3-0 deficit. However the Toros never quit and kept pressing and it eventually paid off when Matthew Parker deposited a rebound past the Tornado goalie off a shot by Jordan Beaudrie, cutting the deficit to 3-1. Unfortunately the Toros hard work did not pay off in another goal and the score remained 3-1. Coach Farrow was very happy with the play of forwards forwards Kurds Salway, Derek McCron, Brad Farrow, Jordan Beaudrie, Matthew Parker, Robbie Campbell, Ryan Webb, Nathan Murray and Tyler Beers, all of who worked hard and generated several good scoring opportunities. opportunities. The defensive unit of Alex Ley, Eric Kemp, Derek Cobb, Marc Rogers and Matthew Smith all played a strong positional game. Matthew Cooper started in net for the Toros and played a solid game, handing off to partner Robbie Goddard who finished in style shutting out the Tornados the rest of the game. Dollar$ & Sense with Deborah Kohlsmith Financial Consultant Time Really is More Valuable than Money Busy? Working hard but gaining no ground, trying to make mortgage and car payments? When it comes to thinking about those financial obligations on the horizon, many of us figure, "Who's got the time?" - let alone the money. Save for the kids' college, retirement, maybe a nice vacation? Get real. But by squeezing out a little time to make a financial plan, and investing small sums of money, you can make time your ally and move toward achieving the financial objectives you've set for yourself or, if you have one, your family. Say you want to retire in 20 years. So today you vow to invest $5,000 each year for the next 20 years at a seven percent annual compounding rate of return. That would amount to $204,977 in 20 years. But you don't make the investment - you wait a year. At the end of that original 20 year period, you'll have $186,895. That delay will have "cost" you over $18,000. By investing early and regularly, you'll take advantage of compounding. It's the flip side of making weekly instead of monthly mortgage payments: Paying weekly reduces a debt that much faster; investing weekly provides the opportunity for faster growth. It makes sense to make time now, so you can make more money; It'll pay off in the long term.
