It provides sports and activities for every Yhem with The people in Layton have enjoyed "' W vvvr A i AW- - ' ' ' . ed w Other Notes A fun run was sponsored by the Layton Rotary Club last Saturday and 22 runners participated with proceeds going to the Rotary scholarship fund. The age of the runners ranged from 6 to 42 and phizes were given to top finishers in each category. The race was measured at 4.7 miles and Joe Hawkins from Layton took first place over all. A - While scanning the summer recreation schedule, one will note a familiar or possibly not so familiar listing Aerobic Exercise. Immediately, visions of jogging, walking, or possibly calisthentics with dance overtones might flash to mind. 'Nw4 - year-roun- d age and it keeps growing to include more people. And one person they can thank for all the fun is Sam JDato, Layton City Recreation Supervisor. Sams the guy who finds a way to put 214 baseball and softball teams on a scant nine city diamonds and Still have the league completed by July 20th. Hes the guy who makes up a new schedule when the original gets rained out. Hes the guy who makes sure tennis classes have instructors, baseball games have umpires, basketball games have a gym, gymnastics classes have proper equipment, soccer games have goal nets, craft workshops have materials and much more. Sams also the guy to see when the City Pool has an algea problem or when theres a protested game. In short, without Sam Dato taking the pressure, the program would be less recreation and more fhistration. 'Sam has a simple philosophy when it comes to planning the program make it fun and get people involved. . We try to offer sound, healthy programs for every age level including senior citizens, Dato says. Weve been trying to offer more of the leisure activities to balance out the competitive ones to get more people involved. This is good for someone who wants to get out and exercise, but doesnt want the pressure of competition or to be pushed. Sam took the supervisor position in 1971 after retiring from 24 years of service in the Air Force where he saw duty in Europe, Thailand, Viet Nam $nd Japan. During those years, Sam spent time coaching youth sports which gave him the proper fools for his present job. Tve played sports all my life and its kept my of grind young, says Dato, explaining the value Our goal with the program is to get recreation. mood people in the community out of a complacent and involved. Physical activity makes for a more healthy conscience and national studies show that porkers are sharper on the job when theyre involved in an outside activity." ' One sport that Sam sees as an excellent method for getting people out for the program is soccer. You can have over 20 kids on a team and theyll all get to play at least one half the game. Its the sport of the future because it doesnt cost much in terms of equipment, both boys and girls can play it, its safe, it helps develop lungs and legs and it offers a chance to those with lesser athletic skills, he said. Senior Citizen programs are another trend and one is just getting started at Layton. Sam : says the program offers them a chance to get together and talk, eat lunch, watch movies and basically have fun with others. One problem with the program at this time accoridng to Dato is that it is under staffed Just about the only thing Sam doesnt enjoy dealing With in the program is the weather namely, when the rain washes away events. Its the only part of the job that puts me in a panic, says Sam smiling. When it rains like it did last month and you have to juggle 214 teams on nine baseball diamonds, things can get pretty hectic. s' iTvv ..... 4 - Hf Summer Health Means Aerobics 0 v , By Cindy Shy i Imumirogs & EjrfTO X .A1 T' , Many people can identify an aerobic activity, but they have little or no idea of what the term means and why it is important to a persons health. A course in exercise physiology would be required to fully understand the term aerobic, but basically, it refers to the type of chemical reactions that take place in the muscle cell that cause muscular Aerobic refers to those chemical reactions that require oxygen, while anaerobic refers to those n. noujringoygen. The' Amount of time spent performing an activity determines which tyjie bf chemical reaction occurs in a muscle cell. The muscle cell can contract for a short period of time with anaerobic, no oxygen, chemical reactions, but to continue to contract for a prolonged period of time the cell requires oxygen. For example: AnTndividual can run, holding his breath, but activity will soon cease because he will reach his anaerobic capacity the individual runs and continues to breathe, the Jctwity can be prolonged until he reaches his aerobic capacity, which is determined by his ability to provide oxygen ' to the muscles. notysJ 7 r, Therefore, the ability of the lungs to obtaiaixygen and the ability of the heart to pump that oxygenan the blood to the muscles determines aerobic capacity' - A The objective of most aerobic activity classes is to . increase an individuals aerobic capacity, improve the heart and lungs through what is called the overload principle. This principle is easy to understand. If an individual starts doing ten push-up- s each day and increases that number, he will develop stronger arm t AFTER SPOTTING the Blocks a 0 lead early in the game, the Greens came back 9-- to tie the score before losing in the second dings of games played extra inning.

Coach Doug Calls H & R Block team handed Coach Tim Hughes and his Greens Country Store team their first loss of the season, but oh what a ball game. Blocks beat Greens 10-- but had to go two extra innings to do it. Blocks scored first and raced out to a 0 lead by the third inning, but then Greens came roaring back, and tied the game to send it into overtime. Neither team scored in the seventh frame, but in the bottom of the eighth, Blocks Robbie Hiatt led off with a single, and moved to second on a hit by Jeff Call. Thats when James Godfrey blasted one to right field, and Hiatt scrambled. home with the winning run. Brad Larsen was on the mound for Greens, for three innings, and then turned the ball over to Mark Lopez. Lopez pitched shut-ou- t baseball for the next three inand struck out seven batters, but nings, then he had to give up the mound, because he had spent his allotted six innings for the week. Bracken Larsen, the ten year old 9, 9-- brother of Brad, came on to finish the game. Brad held Blocks for one inning, but they got to him in the eighth. Jeff Call pitched five innings for Blocks, and Catcher Stacey Hatch took his place in the sixth. Jeff had nine strike-out- s and Stacey had two. Five of Blocks batters hammered out eleven hits for their cause. Andy Shavers hit a double and went 3 for 4 for the game. Jeff Call was 3 for 5 and also hit a double. Stacy Hatch got two hits, and both were doubles. James Godfrey singled twice and Robbie Hiatt had one hit. For the Greens team, Brad Larsen, Bracken Larsen, and Shad Simmons, Mark Lopez, and Allen Mitchell each got hits. This was the first loss for Greens, who a 1 record, but could win the Clearfield pennant with two wins this week. Blocks moved into a tie for second win-los- s record. place, and now have a Both coaches are proud of their players. Coach Hughes singled out Mark Lopez, who is hitting over .600 for the season, and brothers Bracken Larsen (.480) and now sport 5-- 3-- 3, Brad Larsen (.400). Coach Calls team, Brad Griffith is leader with .444, followed by James Godfrey (.389), Tracy Hatch (.375) and Stacy Hatch (.357). . At the seasons end, an all-stteam will be picked from the four teams of Clearfield. The winning coach will be team manager, and the select team will play from Ogden and Hill against AFB. The winner will then participate in a state-wid- e team for a chance to play in the Western Regionals in California. The World Series of Little League Baseball will be played this summer in Philadelphia. Coach Tim Hughes wasnt happy to see his undefeated season slip away, but he wasnt too broken up over the loss. It may be a blessing, he smiled. Maybe we were getting all-sta- over-confide- And then he smiled again. The last time I had an undefeated record spoiled, was when you came to cover one of our games. You must be a jinx to our team, he laughed. It happened just two years ago on this very diamond. ; and shoulder muscles. Since the heart and lungs are muscles, increasing their work load will also increase their strength, which results in a higher aerobic capacity. With a high aerobic capacity an individual can participate in an activity longer with less discomfort and will usually lower his resting heart rate, which can result in longer life. Research indicates that improvement in aerobic capacity can occur only if large muscle groups are involved in a continuous, rhythmic activity for a least 15 minutes. Some researchers contend that the activity must continue for 30 minures to really acheive improvement. Any type of activity results in voJT thejwe-o- f other kinds of activity, Those interested in becoming involved in organized aerobic activity can find it in local churches, health spas, recreation departments, dance or exercise studios, and even some high school or college courses. j But an individual can set up his own program and achieve success. Before setting up your own program, it is recommended that you consult with your physician ; and it is also wise to force yourself to start out slow and gradually increase the workload.
