Barnhardt Port Perry Hospital care discharged, the care I received was excellent. If I awoke in the night, there always seemed to be a nurse asking me if I was comfortable or in pain. What I am trying to say is I wonder if the residents in Port Perry realize how fortunate we are to have an efficient- ly run hospital like the Community Memorial. The coordinator and the staff should be com- mended. We also must not forget the services of our 'Doctors.

Our aim is to promote a greater awareness of Cardio-Pulmonary fitness, by sponsoring an event at Uxpool. This event will be tak- ing place during Valen- tine"s week. It is, of course, a participatory activity and restricted to adults 20 and over. It is the Second Annual Adult Fitness Swim sponsored by Masters Swimming Ontario. With the maturing population, sports have become the domain of all age groups (i.e. lob ball, non contact hockey etc.) and swimming is no ex- ception. Masters Swim- ming Ontario sponsors competitive swimming meets for adults over 20 and this event captures both your competitive in- stincts and helps provide you with a comparitive fitness test that is fun. It also allows you to work within your own age group and to join in the fun! Based on the number of laps swum in either on half hour or one hour (don't forget to bring a lap counter-timer) swim- mers will eventually be listed with all other On- tario swimmers within their five year groups. As this is an annual event, participants will have a chance to compare stan- dings from year to year. So get out and practice and get ready for the week of February 14th, 1983. Both you and your heart can only benefit. LOCATION: Uxpool, Uxbridge. Annual Furniture Sale! TIME: Week of Feb. 14 -18; 12:00 -1:00 or 5:00 - 6:00. ELIGIBILITY: Any adult interested in swim- ming for fitness whether - or not with'Masters. AGE GROUPS: 20-24; 25-29; 30-34; 35-39; 40-44; 45-49; 50-54; 55-59; 60-64; 65-69; 70-74; 75 and over for both men and women. MEDICAL: If not ac- tively swimming prior to this event, you are advis- ed to have a medical check-up. ENTRY FEES: $4.00 per event; two dollars will be donated to the On- tario Heart Foundation, Dear Sir: This past Tuesday at the Open. Seagrave Board Meeting, only seven people were in attendance other than the Park Board Members themselves. Why? There are six active adult ball teams who use the park all summer - over 100 adults (and this is not counting the tennis players or horse- shoe players or other park users), and yet, only seven people attended to voice their opinions. As a person not on the board - who loves ball and appreciates the community he lives in - I find this turn-out simply appalling. There has only been two new members on the board in six years. Those same people have done an outstanding job, but why does a comm- unity have to abuse the enthusiasm and ded- ication of a few individuals. the remainder will recover the cost of ad- ministration. Uxpool ad- ~ mission will be waived if you are swimming the "Masters event. Entry fees payable to Ontario Masters. Leave this at Uxpool. ) We hope that this event will catch the interest of your readers and that many participate in it. If there are any questions feel free to call us at Ux- pool 852-7831. Sincerely Bonnie Branton Uxpool Event Co-Ordinator, Seagrave Park The election of officers has been post- poned to Tuesday, Feb- ruary 8, 1983, at 7:30 p.m. If you want a park - if you want a ball team - if you want your children to play ball - if you want a park your family can enjoy - be there to voice your opinion. Otherwise. .don't be surprised to see "Our Community Park"' returned to the farmer's field it was twelve years ago. Yours truly D.D. Adams Seagrave.
