And for adolescents or teen-agers, being fat can make life downright miser- able, sometimes resulting in severe emotional problems. Diet Workshop, one of several weight-loss organi- zations operating in Scugog Township, has designated October as Children's Month, and Marg Sanders, who conducts weekly Work- shop classes in Port Perry, says the purpose is to make young people and adults aware of the problems con- nected with obesity in young- sters, and to help them lose the excess pounds. Mrs. Saunders says there are several reasons why children and teens get fat, and the main one is too much junk food. French fries, potato chips, chocolate bars, and soft" drinks are well known "fatties." Fast or convenience foods, readily available on the grocer's shelf, also contribute to youngsters and teens being overweight, especially if these foods make up a signi- ficant portion of the weekly diet. While obesity is not neces- sarily hereditary, Mrs. Sanders says that if one or both parents are overweight, the chances are pretty good that the children will also develop a weight problem. Children simply learn all the wrong eating habits from their parents. Losing excess poundage is only half the battle, the other _half is keeping the weight off. Mrs. Sanders says that behavior modifications is crucial. "In addition to what somebody eats, we stress how to eat properly." It is very important for youngsters to lose the first few pounds, a kind of re- assurance that losing weight is not a hopeless cause. Chewing the food properly is important. So is eating meals at regular times, and not skipping breakfast. Mrs. Sanders says that time should be taken over every meal, that it should be con- sidered as a separate acti- vity. Eating on the run, for example, is not good. Breaking: the bad eating behavoir, especially in youngsters and teens, often takes a long time. But once this is achieved, Mrs. San- ders believes that the taste buds actually change, and foods that once were craved begin to taste differently, almost unpleasant. An exercise plan, if poss- ible should go along with any effort to lose weight through dieting and changing eating habits, and is a good way to strengthen and firm mus- cles. But exercise in itself without a change in eating habits will not result in significanfgweight loss.

She also has a weekly group in Oshawa with: about 80 in the class. She recommends that parents concerned about overweight children, should attend the classes. Although there is no program aimed specifically at fat kids, Mrs. Sanders follows guidelines set down by the clinic at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children. . Fat kids hate to be fat, and sadly enough, 85 percent of fat kids will grow up to fat adults. But it is possible to do something about it. Mrs. Sanders herself lost 80 pounds and has been suc- cessful in keeping it off. Two-car mishap A two-car accident early Saturday morfiing at the intersection of Bay and Bige- low Streets in Port Perry caused an estimated $1700 damage. Police say that a small sports car driven by Janice Dorrell, 22, of Blackstock collided with a-van driven by Charles Durward, 18, of Port Perry. The van sustained $200 damage and the car $1500. There were no in- juries. Police have charged Dorrell with failing to yield. News from PPHS by Debbie Menzies and Debbie Ireland This past week at Port Perry High School was far from being short. Even though we had only a four day week, there was much to keep everyone busy. On Wednesday, the senior girls basketball team hosted Clarke High School in a battle which left Port only 5 points behind the top score. The junior girls also came up on the short end of the score. Our only victors against Clarke were our midgets. Good team work, girls! We hope to see as many specta- tors as possible at the next home game. There were many enthu- siastic participants on Thursday's 'tie day". Top- Tie Mention goes to Lori Clark who sported not one, not two, but three ties! How's that for involvement? The Basketball Marathon date has once again been changed - to the 20th and 21st of October. Teachers are needed to donate just a couple of hours of their time for the supervision of the marathon. Proceeds from the game will be given to the Ye announces its new Humane Society, so support a player! Remember: dog' is man's best friend! Our renouned "Reach For The Top" team competed in a hard-fough match against Midland on Saturday. This pre-taped show can be seen on November 25 on CKVR (channel 3). Our team and staff advisors worked very hard on this and I'm sure you'll enjoy this show in particular. Although the team didn't continue into playoffs, they deserve a big pat-on-the-back because they're "tops". Our senior boys foothd¥# team competed against Dunbarton on Wednesday. The score ended in a 9-9 tie. Our men will play at the Civic Fields in Oshawa on Tuesday night at 8:30. Let's see some supporters out for this match. The Sadie Hawkins Danc& on October 27th will feature the group '"'Stuttz"'. Any help, in either setting up equipment or working on the doors, would be greatly appreciated. Check out your "P.P.H.S.
