It took two tug boats less
than half an hour on Friday to
do what several neighboring
residents have been unable to
accomplish in more than 10
years — get the Primrose out
of Frenchman's Bay.
One of those residents,
Barry Farquharson of Front
Road, has been fighting
Primrose owner Jim McKean
for 10 years over the 136 -foot
dredge's fate.
Friday morning.
Farquharson got his wish.
"Hallelujah." he enthused
after the dredge floated out of
the bay. "After 10 years of
fighting they got it out in 20
minutes. It should have
happened many, many years
ago "
The Primrose has been
moored in front of Port
Pickering since 1985 and has
been a controversial tenant
for much of that time.
The original scenario plan
was for McKean to turn the
dredge into a floating
restaurant but that plan fell
through in 1992 when his
tenant went belly -up.
Bankruptcy then took
McKean's marina last year
and the terms of the sale of
the marina lands to the Town
of Pickering — announced
last month — dictated that
the boat would have to be
moved.
McKean still harbors the
restaurant dream, but it will
be the City of Toronto that
will enjoy the Primrose's
company, not Pickering.
"It's in Toronto. That will
be its permanent base,"
McKean says, adding that he
has yet to decide on the
dredge's future.
The tugboat operation cost
McKean nearly $10,000 and
about 50 people — from
boats and on shore —
watched the vessel's
departure.
"We're just so happy: it's
been so long," Farquharson
said. "All the residents have
been fighting for this, and
now it's finally gone."

Ecker ready to meet.new challenges in politic
Hot Queen's Park rumors have rookie Durham West MPP in line for cabinet p.
*From cover pop
will decide what he wants,
when he wants.
"We've got a lot of good
people in the caucus and Mike
has earned the right to make
those decisions."
Earning a cabinet position
would be a natural progres-
sion for the 43 year-old politi-
cal junkie, who spent 20 years
behind the scenes in the polit-
ical game before her election
last June.
A journalism graduate
(although her news career was
limited to writing her way
through university), Ecker
joined the consumer and cor-
porate affairs ministry as a
communications officer in
1975. Since then she has
worked for the environment
and finance ministries and the
premier's office, in communi-
cations and policy.
She worked primarily for
the Tories, but also briefly for
Dave Peterson's Liberals
before leaving Queen's Park
in 1985 to become a public
affairs consultant. In 1991
Ecker took on the post as
director of policy for the
College of Physicians and
Surgeons, a position she held
until her election win.
Her husband, Derek
Nelson. is also in the busi-
ness, so to speak, as a veteran
foreign affairs columnist,
adding to her already impres-
sive media relations arsenal-,
necessary skills in the very
public world of provincial
politics.
Those skills also helped
ease the transition into the
elected world and helped her
avoid some _
of the pit-
falls that "We AVE
have trapped
some of her snake e
colleagues but ne,
(transporta-
tion minister decis
A] Palladini
comes to -
mind); a not
unexpected
occurrence for a new govern-
ment with plenty of fresh
faces.
"It's been a challenging
year," she admits, "but
frankly, in three or four years
the voters won't be interested
in who got nailed for some
crazy quote, but in what they
accomplished. That's where
the judgement will be made."
She also defends
Tsubouchi, who has taken the
heat for bringing in welfare
reforms and introducing
workfare, as a "decent, caring
guy" who is popular in cau-
cus.
"We've had to make diffi-
cult
iff -
cult but necessary decisions,"
she says. "It has also been a
good opportunity to learn; to
find m y feet."
Ecker also points out that
her government's actions
since the election have been
responses to what the voters
wanted "We had an activist
agenda; people told us what
they wanted and we said 'we
hear ya, here's how we want
_ to make those
changes'.
/lUU tO We've laid
Cult out our agen-
da for all
'essa those to see."
The high -
Ons t r lights for
Ecker's first
anet Ecker year in office
include the
economic ini-
tiatives for reducing the
deficit, the beginning of tax
cuts, the investment in chil-
dren (as chair of the child care
review process, she has
helped boost that budget from
S560 million to $600 million
per year) and the protection of
health care.
She also takes pride in her
role in slashing government
administration costs by 30 per
cent (including killing both
the gold-plated MPP pension
plan and a subsidized dining
room that was costing taxpay-
ers S 1 million per year); help-
ing pave the way for a three-
way land swap that preserved
a chunk of Ajax's waterfront;
co-chairing the Strict
Discipline Task Force for
young offenders; receiving
approval for her bill to see
charitable donations bumped
up to equal status with politi-
cal contributions on the
income tax rolls; and the long
awaited approval of the Acute
Care Study for regional hospi-
tals, along with a $6 million
funding injection for Ajax -
Pickering General Hospital.
Those high points easily
offset any negative publicityrri
that has stuck to the Has
government, notably in the
welfare cuts.

notes that raising children is
"tougher" than in the past,
adding that she has "a lot of
respect for parents today."
But, she points out, the
show must go on and her gov-
ernment will carry on with
reforms in social services, as
well as health and education.
"Government has always
been the solution to every-
one's problems — welfare is
the best example — but I

approach. Government has a a►
role but it can't solve all our °S
problems. It costs too much
and sometimes creates more V
problems.
"We still have to be com- i5
passionate and caring but peo-
ple and families have respon-
sibilities as well for their lives.
"We've run out of money:
that's the problem." With a
cabinet post tantalizingly
close, Ecker hopes to soon be
aimed at finding solutions.

Editorial Opinion
...........
It's time we stopped the labeling
Lately, we found ourselves discussing the term "50 -Plus"— a lot. And
a seers the more we discuss it, (and we're not all of us above that magical
age i, the more annoyed we become. kris catch-all phrase, that so many mar-
rcters and adverisers seem so hooked on using, is both demaning and
:eading. Talk about political incorrectness' We are dropping it from our
vocabular).
We recall fust hearing it in the '70s — a dingbai decade in world history —
when some bright HR types (probably the same ones who changed
"Personnel" to "Human Resource—i came up with what was actually a good
tea: an employment trairung agency for retired, or otherwise unemployed,
ienior emutives.
We suspect that, at the time. try probably thought of thea agency as giv-
ng tic old codgers something to do in their "Golden Years" fan even older
lerin which also signifies nothing). And as a description for an employment
agency. the name certainly did have trait.
But when has 50 ever been an age at which people, overnight, begin to
grow old' And who among tis, in good health, could ever afford to retire at
that golden age° Having met only two or three of these fommate individuals
in our travels, we often wonder about those organizations which carry on the
myth that youthful retaemert is in any way either desirable or commonplace.
Fifty is indeed a turning point for many people. It sorra to be an age of
re -awakening and m4sseument: a time when we begin to either slow down,
or pick up and discover new energy. For most. it seems to be the latter Oh,
the joints may be a little aeakier, but we are usually amazed to find that, on
the inside, we feel no diiferm than we did at age 40, or 30, or pert* even
20. We begin to realize that, appearances to the contrary, Mom and Dad at age
60 and 70 remain unchanged.

Sarah McDonald's Place opens
The official opening of
Sarah McDonald's Place, on
Whites Road North in
Pickering, took place on
Tuesday, July 9. It's been a
long time coming.
In late 1989, members of
T HWD became aware of the
need for more non-profit
housing in Durham Region,
after being approached by
many members of the commu-
nity who were seeking difer-
ent housing accommodations.
In 1990, the Network con-
sulted with an organization
called New Canadians. This
organization was involved in
securing housing for new
Canadians. The Pickering
Carib -Canadian Cultural
Association organized a num-
ber of housing seminars
across the region. It became
evident that something had to
be done to alleviate the situa-
tion in Durham.
The Inter -Organization
Network Non -Profit Homes
was formed, and an appli-
cation was made to the
Ministry of Housing for an ;
allocation of housing. In the
summer of 1992, the
Network's application was Z
approved for a 63 unit build-
ing to be located at 1467 °$
Whites Road in Pickering. S
Due to the dedication and z°0
hard work of Sarah McDonald
in the region, the board of the ti
Inter -Organization Network
Non -Profit Homes decided to
name the building "Sarah
McDonald's Place."

The Pickering Pee -Wee rep boys soft-
ball team has won three games in a row.
They defeated Port Peng 17-8 with a 21
hit assault lead by Damon Desouza and
Jason Cowin with four hits apiece and
outstanding defensive work by Chris
Nelson in the outfield.
The second game, in a tight pitcher's
duel, saw Pickering win 1-0 over East
Gwillimbury with Jeff Smith pitching a
no hitter. the winning run coming on
Pickering's last at bat with Brad
Giasson driving in the winning run, fol-
lowing a Damon Desouza triple.
Pickering continued their winning
ways with a 7-5 victory over Stouffville
with Andrew Arsenault scoring the
winning run and David Cozlowsky
adding the insurance in the last inning.
Pickering's record improved to 7-7-1.
Tire Pickering Slo-Sports Novice Blue
girls rep team racked up two more victo-
nes on home turf.
The squad defeated the Oshawa
Stingers 14-13, followed by a victory of
29-3 against the Ajax Raiders. Home
runs were hit by Ashlyn Young, Laura
Hill, Melissa Meikle; a grand slam was
added by Fon Farr.
Pitcher Laura Hill had a no-hitter
going into the fourth when Ajax broke it
up with a home run. Laura held them to
two hits.
The Bank of Montreal Squirt boys rep
team is on a three -game winning streak
that started in Aurora on June 25th. The
boys scored 17 nuns in the fifth inning,
with each player registering at least one
run. The final score was 21-16 for
Picketing.
The next game, against Markham,
proved to be the best game ever played
by the young Squirt team. Chris
MacLeod registered nine strike outs
while the defense was able to hold
Markham to only three runs. Andrew
McCallum belted a home tun while
Billy Keith and Chris MacLeod both
came hDme to tie the score. In the bot-
tom of the seventh inning Matthew
King delivered a perfect bunt to get on
base while Jeff Magee sacrificed so that
King could score, giving Pickering the
win.
The team travelled to Port Perry the
following day, where they destroyed Port
Perry 22-1.
The Pickering Senior rep girls fastball
team is off to a great start. After four
league games they posted a three win,
one loss record. They opened the season
with a 2-1 win over Chinguacousy with
Andrea Peters picking up the win.

led the way with two hits apiece.

and nine batters respectively. A home
run by Ching's Charene Hisle ended the
game giving them a 2-1 win.
The girls bounced back in Markham
with a 7-2 win. Angela Davis was the
winning pitcher. Cathy Davis and Barb
Doran each had two hits. In a recent
tournament in Lansing, Michigan, the
team played some excellent games post-
ing a 2-1 win over host Lansing.
Andrea Peters picked up the win. In
game two, pitcher Julie Farr gave up
two home runs in a 42 loss to Livonia,
Michigan. In game three against last
year's winner, Pickering defeated

end. The gids play Thursday nights at
8:30 p.m. at Kinsmen Pads.

another loss against Cobourg. The girls
fought back from a seven -run deficit to
take the lead. They held the Cobourg
Angels to a 9-8 score with a terrific triple
play, led by catcher Laura Burgess who
caught a pop-up foul to record the first
out. A quick throw to Laura Cozlowsky
at second, relayed to Marsha Dickey at
first, caught both base runners off guard
to record the second and third outs.
Unfortunately it was not enough as
Cobourg came back to win the game in
the bottom of the sixth.

New home builders are expecting a modest
improvement in the housing market this year,
according to the 18th semi-annual Pulse Survey
of builders and renovators. Canada -wide,
builders are forecasting about 116,000 starts in
1996, slightly above the 111,000 units started in
1995. But this is still well below the average of
158.500 units per year built in the 1991-1994
period, which were not considered good years
for the industry.
The Pulse Survey has established itself as an
accurate reflection of current conditions and
intentions in the Canadian new home build-
ing and renovating industries. The survey of
486 builders was conducted for the Canadian
Home Builders' Association (CHBA), with
support from Canada Mortgage and Housing
Corporation (CMHC) and Natural Resources
w
10
01
ders expect modest improvement in housing starts
Canada.
The builders' estimate for 1996 starts is
slightly higher than the 112,000 units fore-
cast by CMHC. New home builders are
somewhat more optimistic than they were six
months ago, about a modest improvement in
the national housing market.
One of the principal reasons for the
increased expectations is a Canada -wide
increase in potential buyers visiting sites.
The survey found builders reporting higher
traffic in all buyer groups compared to a year
ago. The increased traffic was most pro-
nounced in Alberta, Ontario and British
Columbia.
Consumer confidence remained a concern
for builders in the survey, but fewer builders
reported indicating it was a critical problem
than in the last Pulse Survey (Winter
1995/19%). And fewer builders view mort-
gage interest rates as a critical problem
because of the significant declines which
have occurred over the past year.
"I think what we are seeing is a slow, cau-
tious return of consumer confidence — we
see that in the increased traffic. As confi-
dence grows with greater employment secu-
rity, this traffic will tum into increased sales.
We can be cautiously optimistic — employ-
ment growth is the key," said CHBA
President Jerry Roehr.
Horne builders are responding to the cau-
tious madtet by increasing the emphasis on
affordability. About half of new home
builders plan to make significam changes to
the homes they build over the next 12
momhs. Modifications which would make
homes more affordable to price conscious
buyers dominate planned changes. For exam-
ple, builders are expecting to of smaller
homes, leas hnturiaus fatnres and burildmg
on smaller Iota to kap pones down.
Boulders ii mase drat the current average
sine of a sgMle-detadted house is about
1,400 spare Ext. 'lois compares to about
1.700 xpaw-f'eet; five years ago. Roebr said
the bru'ldiog industry has to JJkeep one sssepp
ahead of consumer attitudes and tlands. "Our
member hmWen; are responding to what con-
atmers was in poduict, price and value,"
But the survey also found that about 40
percent of new home builders expect that
new house prices will increase over the next
12 months. Selling prices are being driver by
every -increasing input costs. The survey
found that builders expect their costs will
continue to increase over the next year — in
particular, lumber and otber building materi-
alsThe survey also found that employment
levels in home building and renovating have not
begun a recovery. The steady decline in housing
starts through the early 1990s resulted in a dra-
matic decline in employment levels in the indus-
try over the past several years. Builders polled in
the Pulse Survey report that employment levels
have not begun to tum around.
The prolonged weakness in the new home
market through the early 1990s pushed builders
to explore other opportunities. The renovation
sector has had the most attention.
Approximately 40 percent of builders surveyed
said they generate at least 25 percent of their
revenues from renovation work. Four years ago,
half as many respondents — only 20 percent —
claimed the same revenue levels from renova-
tion activity.
And the renovation sector continues to be
hopeful about their prospects. Renovators
expect increased growth in 1996, according to
the Pulse result. Four out of ten expect an
increase in their renovation activity this year,
while only one in ten expect a decline in activi-

The proposal came about after General Motors
told the board the Chevrolet Caprice police cruisers
m use by the force would be phased out this year.
Alternate vehicles — Durham looked at the
° Chevrolet Lumina, Chevrolet Tahoe and Ford LTD
— would require too many modifications or be too
costly, or both, said police operations superintendent
Derek Denson.
Council was told the short notice was unavoid-
able because GM needed an answer imrnediately.
Durham Regional Police usually replace 25
marked vehicles per year (after about 220,000 kilo-
metres). in addition to three or four write-offs.
The force's total fleet stands at 210 vehicles.
The cars — which will be bought at 1996 prices
— will be stored at a fenced but open lot in Courtrce
until they are required for use.

Highway Help
Program in Action
The Province -wide Highway Help Campaign, coor-
dinated by the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police
(OACP) is an attempt to provide assistance for strand-
ed motorists by creating an awareness of their need to
call for help in a safe manner.
A simple red and white plastic CALL POLICE sign
which fits onto a car window, will alert passing
motorists who, when seeing this sign displayed, might
either use a cellular phone or stop at the nearest phone
and call Police.
This reflective sign is highly visible in both direc-
tions and is invaluable for allowing stranded motorists
to be able to get help withomt leaving the safety of their
car.
Signs are available at numerous retail outlets,
including Canadian Tire, The CAA and Zehrs Food
Stores.
For further information, call (905) 579-1520 Sgt.
Paul Malty at Ext. 5611 or Cst. Pat Judges at Ext. 1739.

Ontario SPCA suffers elimination
of Government funding
Elimination of the
provincial government
subsidy of Cruelty Inves-
tigation Services, has put
a significant financial
strain on the Ontario
Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals
(Ontario SPCA). Vicky
Earle, Chief Executive
Officer said "We are com-
mitted to continuing our
animal protection ser-
vices, but we must now
rely entirely on the gen-
erosity of the general pub-
lic."
Correction
In last week's Original
Bay News story on the rev-
olutionary Cadscan auto
dimensioning system, our
source told us the equip-
ment was created using
technology from Japan,
the United States and
Durham Region. In fact,
Cadscan was created and
developed solely in
Durham. Manufactured by
TASC Limited of Whitby,
the system was created by
the parent company,
Autoscan Development
and Network Systems of
BowmanvWe.
At the Ontario SPCA's
annual conference in
Hamilton, June 21 to 23,
the Ontario SPCA's Chief
Inspector, Terry Looker,
reported that 13,972 com-
plaints were received by
the Society, its branches
and affiliates in 1995. "It
is anticipated that these
will increase in 1996," Mr.
Looker stated. "Ministry
of Natural Resources
inspectors are already few
and far between, and from
September 1996, I am told
by the Ministry of
Agriculture that there will
be no further inspections
of pounds, riding horse
establishments and fur
farms." The Chief
Inspector added that com-
plaints formerly dealt with
by these government
inspectors, will likely be
forwarded to the Society.
"It is critical that animal
welfare people across the
province be made aware
of our need for funds in
order for us to continue
this vital service," the
CEO commented.

Big changes needed to turn aroundgnoel ski PickerinRambo.report says staff anxious
and ready fora more progressive form of government"
by Glenn Hendry
The Town of Pickering
should be practising a bottom-
up management approach,
with a strong emphasis on
teamwork, concludes a
Nevada consultant hired to
perform a review of the town's
operations.
The report. prepared by
Craig Bradford, a much deco-
rated former fighter pilot in
Vietnam (dubbed "Rambo" by
regional councillor Rick
Johnson) also concludes coun-
cillors should stop "mucro-
' managing and let staff do their
job -
"M lbws Cow3ml should
cheerlead for stn$ when it is
appropriate to do so, and stay
informed an the corporatiiWs
changing processes. Council
should not interfere with the
corporation's business
processes. "
Bradford's Wpaage repot,
sent to councillors Inst week,
echoes some of the criticisms
found in a repot issued by the
auditing firm Hurren, Flett,
Sinclair in May.
The Ajax firm, commis-
sioned to discover why
$939.000 went missing during
budget deliberations, stated
that a "pervasive lack of trust"
between council and staff has
led to "significant morale"
problems."
The bottom-up, "total quali-
ty" approach advocated by
Bradford is his solution to
those morale problems
because it puts the responsibil-
ity for the town's affairs in the
hands of staff, not council.
But that approach, says
councillor Sherry Senis, is
contrary to the hazardous path
the town is now taking.
Senis believes the town is
built upside-down, an opinim
shared by Bradford, who said
Pickering is "close to
bein&••top-hearty and fraught
with urmeded bure "
Senis adds that recent
changes to the structure —
such as council pulling routine
slimmer tender authonity from
the town manager; site plan
approval authority (on we
project) taken from the plan-
ning director, and the decision
to hire outside counsel in the
Novacor case (a $517,000
double payment screw -up that
triggered the hiring of
Bradford) — have only con-
vinced her that council is mak-
ing matters worse.
Even on the eve of the
release of Bradford's report,
council was chipping away at
staffs authority, Senis claims.
Only two weeks ago, at an in -
camera meeting, a motion was
passed to create an adminisua-
tion committee to oversee
human resources, administra-
tion, legal services, inforrna
tion services and "other areas"
council may deem to be ntxes-
-rhe organizational cha
that have already been iimple-
minted run contrary to the
Bradford repot," she says.
'Bradford is saying the town
should be nm as a team, with
a -up approwh.
Council is funnelling from the
top down"
That mining "teamwork"
aspect was also noted in the
auditors report, Senis says.
"Both the auditors and
Bradford say we should wok
more as a team That just isdt
happening and that's to the
detriment of the town."
Bradford believes council-
lors should place their trust for
the town's operations in the
hands of the "front-line" work-
ers. Those workers will be
monitored by quality advisors
and coaches, which will be, in
tarn, advised by quality
improvement boards and final-
ly, a Quality Improvement
Council.
At no time, Bradford states.
does council itself get
involved in the process.
"This leads to micro -man-
agement, which should not
exist in a Total Quality cul-
ture," Bradford states "Nearly
all ocgauizatiooa proclaim that
employees are their most valu-
able asset, yet many behave
9aite differaWy. The people
who could contribute to deta-
mining customer value and
who know about the organza.
hods capaabiHfies and weak-
nesses Ohm we not mcladed
in strategic planning or
process management."
Out of control egos were
also identified by Bradford in
his document. In his verbal
report to councillors on June
14 he said healthy egos an
expected in politics and are not
a negative quality unless they
get out of hand. In his written
report, however, he warned
councillors to "strive to behave
as a team, not adversaries" and
to "plan and play together."
Other suggestions in the
report include:
• the adoption of a vision
statement for the future
• phasing out non-core
Processes
• the rewarding of autstand.
ing employee perforntmoe
• the development of a coher-
ent budget plan, with at least
a nine [Hoath lead time
• starting a neighborhood
walk program for Council_
bra to keep abreast of cus-
wraer needs
. " dropping Tom QuieWs
"director of operations" title
and replacing it with
"deputy manager," with
rIII bffiti- as a "cheer-
leader" for department
herds
• the creation of a human
resources department
• creating a town ch, titer
The future for the town,
states Bradford, depends on
the implementation of these
and other measures. changes
that he claims are demanded
by staff.
"Anxiety for ... improve-
ments exist and a high percent-
age of personnel feel they are
ready for a more progressive
form of government.
-lbe main challenges will
be to acquire and maintain a
high level of unanimous com-
mitment ... at
an-mitment...at all levels of the
corporation. especially at the
10p."
Sema agrees. "If council
has the will to adopt it, it's a
workable recommendation.
But everyone has to buy in."
The study cost the town
approximately $29,000.
Bradford says the cost of
implementing his Total
Qty program will be about
$200,000.
It will be money
Bradford believes, well sport,
"Ibis system is simple, eas-
fly managed and versatile.
Everyone in the chain of com-
mand stands behind the front-
line provider in an effort to
achieve 100 per tett customer
satisfaction."

If the shoe fits
...used to be the only con-
. when buying a new pair
f shoes, whether it was an
etic shoe or one for every -
ay use. Now we must also
ink about cost, activity the
shoe is used for, shock absorp-
tion, traction of the outer sole,
stability and flexibility of the
upper body of the shoe, and of
course, style and appearance.
Some companies manufac-
ture a cross -trainer, which will
suffice for some casual athlet-
ics. But for the most part, a
specific sport requires a spe-
cific shoe because of the
nature and movement of that
sport. For example, a racquet
sport like tennis, with a lot of
side to side movement,
requires more lateral support
in a shoe than a jogging shoe
would offer, where motion is
primarily heel to toe.
The external sole of the
shoe will be most important
for runners on concrete or
pavement and will aid in
absorbing impact and, there-
fore, ease or lessen joint
inflammations and muscle ten-
donitis. The inner sole also
provides some shock absorp-
tion, as well as providing some
support. It should be able to be
removed to accommodate
orthotics.
The upper body of the shoe
should be quite stiff to provide
stability especially for those
feet that roll into the arch
(pronation: to be addressed in
a future article). However, the
shoe should provide flexibility
across the metatarsal area (the
widest part of the foot) so that
you can toe off into your next
step with ease.
The heel counter, or back of
the shoe, should fit in such a
way as not to inflame the
attachment of the achilles ten-
don in the heel bone.
Some important tips when
buying a new pair of shoes
are:
• make sure that you purchase
your shoes from a reputable
store and that you are helped
by a salesperson who knows
ihoes, feet and specific
sports,
• buy your shoes late in the
day, not early in the morn-
ing;
• bring your orthotics with
you ... don't guess at the fit;
shoes rarely stretch, espe-
cially in length;
• if the salesperson does not
have your size, don't let him
substitute a wider but short-
er shoe. Not every size 8
will fit the same; lasts vary
from one manufacturer to
another, therefore, try on
two or three sizes of the
tame shoe model;
• women can sometimes wear
a man's shoe that is one and
a half to two sizes smaller
and at least one letter width
narrower;
• take into account your body
weight, age and activity
(type, frequency and dura-
tion);
• lastly, and no less important,
is to know your foot type
(high or low arch) and your
gait (pronator, neutral foot
or suppinator).
And remember, the most
expensive shoe is not neces-
sarily the best shoe!

"I hate my body!" How
often have women repeated
this negative view about
themselves?
It is not the body they hate,
but the visual appeal of their
body. We all have imperfec-
tions that we want to change,
correct or remove. The perfect
body to some women is the
ultimate achievement. This, of
course, is an unrealistic goal,
but a better physique or an
ideal form is possible. The

magic key to attaining this
new form is knowing what
you need to do to change the
trouble areas and improve the
better parts.
To have a more athletic and
sensual body, a female must
know the main curves of her
body There are seven major
curves on a female: the waist,
hips, buttocks, chest, back,
hamstring and the inner
calves. Evaluate these areas
on yourself and determine
what areas you have too much
of or not enough of. Take
notes and nwasurements and
begin a training routine to get
you started on your new ideal
form.
The waist curve is the first
area where we determine our
physical condition. The
rounder we are, the less self-
control is assumed. The waist
is also the first area that shows
the fastest improvement.
There are three different sec-
tions of the waist to look at
and determine your weak
spot. Wide waist needs twist-
ing with pulleys or other type
of resistance to slenderize the
sides. Upper waist bulge
steeds incline sit-ups and par-
tial crunches to firm and
reduce upper abs. The lower
abs need leg raises, tucks and
rolling inward exercises to
firm and reduce lower abs.
And, as always, a low-fat
diet and regular exercise will
also lead to overall improve-
.-.—* and a new physique•
