New fitness award for youth
By DICK KAZMAIER Chairman I President’s Council On Physical Fitness And Sports In school gymnasiums around the country, students are getting back to basics — the basics of getting in shape. Although summer means playtime for many boys and girls, the vigorous regular exercise required to develop healthy, fit bodies is often lost to the lure of lazy days in the sun. School physical education programs, and those sponsored by many other youth-serving organizations, are the place where children and youth can learn how to take care of their bodies through regular exercise. Since 1966, the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports has played an active role in helping physical education programs achieve this goal by sponsoring the Presidential Physical Fitness Award. This year, the council will introduce the new National Physical Fitness Award to complement the Presidential Award and provide recognition to a greater number of boys and girls for their achievement. Both awards are based on the President’s Challenge, a fiveitem physical fitness test. The Presidential Award recognizes outstanding achievement and the National Award recognizes a basic, yet challenging, level. The program is designed for boys and girls ages six to 17. Both awards include certificates of achieve-’ ment and attractively'embroidered Presidential emblems. Expanding the “President’s Challenge” program will assist physical education teachers and other youth leaders in rewarding a greater number of boys and girls for their achievement. The council estimates that about one million students will receive one of the awards during the 1988-89 school year. The standards and test items used in the program are based on the 1985 School Population Fitness Survey. The program measures cardio-respiratory endurance, flexibility, upper body and abdorihnal muscular strength and endurance, power and agility. The council en-

Mike Foy is the 17-year-old son of Glenda Foy, North Webster. He is a member of the Varsity Club and, in his third year of varsity football, is captain of the team. Mike enjoys football, riding motorcycles and spending time with his friends. His future plans are to attend college and major in marketing and business.

courages fitness testing at least twice each year, in the fall and spring. The “President’s Challenge” program is an ideal way to promote school and community interest in fitness. Parents can encourage their children to exercise regularly, taking every opportunity to exercise along with their child and serve as a role model. Despite the best intentions, many school budgets do not allot enough time in the curriculum for
National 4-H Week Oct. 2-8
By KAREN S. LOWRY 01 I Extension Agent, 4-H And Youth The 4-H program is one of the oldest and largest non-traditional efforts in public education in the For nearly 80 years, 4-H has existed, in part, to help young people become mature, competent adults. The approximately 900 4-H youth in Kosciusko County are among more than 4J..iriillion young people across the country who will be observing National 4-H Week, Oct. 2-8. . In celebrating National 4-H Week, it is important to recognize that 4-H is truly a people development program. 4-H helps young people develop skills that will be useful in the real world. 4-H helps them discover their strengths and weaknesses and exposes them to activities in a variety of career fields. Most importantly, 4-H members learn and have fun doing it, and families can add to the fun by learning and growing together. Learning doesn’t stop with the 4-H member and family. Volunteer leaders learn new skills while sharing their expertise with young people. Through a network of volunteer leaders, state land grant universities, state and local governments and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 4-H has been able to stimulate youth to develop life skills. In Kosciusko County, some 200 adult volunteer leaders work with approximately 900 young people, who range from seven to 19 years Jane Moore is Taylor freshman Jane J. Moore, r 3 box 276, Syracuse, is a freshman at Taylor University this fall. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Moore. Taylor University is 142-year-old Christian liberal arts institution located in Upland.

daily physical education, a recommendation the council has long endorsed. In fact, this year the United States Congress passed a resolution encouraging all schools to conduct “quality daily physical education programs.” This is a goal we will always strive to reach. However, the more we can do to provide youth with one to two hours of vigorous daily activity in and out of school the closer we will be to improving youth fitness. • ■

' w<w ' '' * TALENTED TEACHER — Syracuse School teacher Sallie Ringler shows one of the three fourfoot by eight-foot oil paintings she created for the school’s cafeteria over the summer. Ringler also used the paintings as a teaching tool during the first week of school. Questions such as: what is canvas, how is it stretched on a stretcher bar frame, and how long it took to complete the murals (175 hours\ were discussed with many of the art classes. The final mural was then hung in the cafeteria by the custodial staff two weeks ago. “I selected canvas for the murals, instead of masonite, because it is more sound absorbent, which can be an issue if you are an adult in a cafeteria crowded with excited children,” Mrs. Ringler explained. The largest single painting project she has undertaken in such a short time span, the Syracuse teacher found the experience rewarding. “The time has been worth it, as it has created a great avenue of learning for my visual arts students,” she stated, noting that 22 large tubes of oil paint, a quart of turpentine seven yards of canvas, and approximately 1,130 feet of lumber were used to produce the paintings. The project was suggested by Roy Stiffler, head of grounds for Wawasee School Corporation.
