There’s Baseball, Tennis and — Walking?

What “sport” requires no equipment, no court, has no teams, no rules, no winners, no losers? What “sport” can just about everyone participate in, from 6 to 96? What “sport” can be enjoyed as easily in the city as in the country? And what “sport” are more than 44 million Americans discovering every day of the week? The answer is WALKING. As C. Conrad Carson, Executive Director of the President’s Council on Physical Fitness explains, “Because

walking is a ‘painless exercise,’ and because nearly everyone can do it, there is a tendency to discount its value. That is unfortunate, because few activities have so much potential for improving our psychological and physiological well-being.” The Footwear Council has endorsed walking for fitness as its ipgjor informational campaign in 1979. The Council has prepared a booklet which contains important information on walking for both fun and fit-

ness. It tells you how much to walk, how fast, how often and how soon. The Council advises people to walk when they would ordinarily ride — get off the bus a stop ahead, climb the stairs to the office, take a stroll to the store rather than hopping into the car. And walk daily, or at least every second day. View walking as you would any other exercise regimen — and adhere to your walking schedule as rigorously as you would stick to a diet.

WHS wrestling coach Terry Frank resigns

Terry Frank, the man who started the Wawasee High School wrestling program back in 1969 and has turned it into one of the most successful Warrior sports, has turned in his letter of resignation to the Lakeland School Corporation. The resignation applies only to his coaching responsibilities and not to his teaching capacity in mathematics and driver educational WHS.

"I’ll still be busy with the elementary wrestling program at the Lakeland Youth Center, being coordinator for the wrestling tournaments we will host at WHS next year and active in the adult booster club for wrestling ” As for the reasons for his stepping down from active coaching duties Frank stated, “It was just a personal decision.
