CasNews photo by Barbara Tondory Organization's members prefer to take a loss By BARBARA TANDORY Special to the Castlegar News The biggest loser is the winner and takes the prize — a basket of fruit. The first prize is as sensible as the guiding philosophy of TOPS — Take Off Pounds Sensibly — a new weight loss group in Castlegar enjoying a thriving success. Established only last Jan. 29, the first-ever Castlegar TOPS chapter held a special swearing-in ceremony of new executive officers at its regular weekly meeting April 16. The chapter has just received its official certification from Milwaukee, Wis., the headquarters of the international TOPS i with 300,000 with Rossland next on her list. “I'm not going to give up,”’ she said, adding, “They had never been able to start one in Castlegar (earlier).”” How things have changed has become-clear to Amy Mason, a former and present Castlegar resident who was able to join a TOPS chapter in Castlegar after return, last fall, from Hamilton, Ont. Mason — she and her husband are the new caretaker couple at the Doukhobor Museum in Ootischenia — had first joined a TOPS group for a year back in 1978, then rejoined it in 1989 in Ontario. She is now the leader of the Castlegar TOPS group, officially.sworn in a special candlelight The Castlegar group has become one of 11,900 TOPS chapters in the United States, Canada and 22 other countries. Its membership has been soaring from the start. Five new members joined the 32- member Castlegar group Tuesday evening at the meeting held in the Central Kootenay Health Unit building adjacent to Castlegar Hospital. “This is a thriving new chapter,"’ said Gladys Zukowsky, a long-time TOPS member in Nelson, founder of the Castlegar chapter, and area captain for the west Kootenay. ‘‘It’s blossoming into something else. The room seemed so big when we first started, but people seem to be really enthusiastic now.” Locally, TOPS groups operate in Nelson, Beaver Valley, Salmo, Riondel and Creston. There are 12 TOPS chapters in the East and West Kootenay. The Nelson group, with 72 members, has celebrated its \7th anniversary. Most West Kootenay communities have local TOPS chapters, with the exception of Trail. Undeterred by earlier unsuccessful attempts, Zukowsky is working to establish a chapter in Trail, y Tuesday. Also sworn in — by Florence Cameron, a past Nelson TOPS leader — were Clara Gerrand, as co-leader, Judy Groepler, as secretary, Joan Martini, as treasurer, and Marianne Hurlbert, as weight recorder. Besides the weekly prize of a fruit basket, the best loser of the month receives a fresh rose. Weight is carefully monitored — in fact, each weekly meeting begins with a weigh-in — but the group exercises discretion so other members don’t know your weight. In the roll call that follows, members report gain or loss but aren't required to specify their weekly increases. Mason said the local group gained its first male member this week, a sign of its rapid growth. “*We have our first pre-teen member, an 1 l-year- old boy,” she said. TOPS membership is open to men and women of all ages. Membership is $20 a year for the first two years (afterwards it’s down to $18) and includes a monthly magazine called TOPS News. The weekly meetings are held Tuesdays at 7 p.m. in the back of the Central Kootenay Health Unit building. sign PL nbtlgesd.
