Queen City Model Yacht Club

The Queen City Model Yacht Club held its 2022 Fall Regatta on Saturday October 8th. The results are Andy 1st, Brad 2nd, Chuck 3rd, Bob 4th, Dave 5th, Fred 6th. A big thanks to Brendan Sullivan for designing and making the trophy plaques.

We will continue to race throughout the winter, weather permitting (not raining and temperatures above 40F at 10:30AM).  Thank you to the Town of Pineville for continuing to let us use your wonderfully maintained facilities and pond.

A little bit about us: We love sailing and racing radio-controlled sailboats.   You are invited to come and watch or try your hand at sailing radio control model sailboats at Pineville Lake Park.  Please visit our website QueenCityMYC.com for more information.  Below are some of the particulars.

WHERE:  We sail at the Belle Johnston Community Center Pond:
1000 Johnston Dr. Pineville, NC 28134

WHEN: We race on most Wednesdays and Saturdays from 10:30AM to 12:30PM.    Occasionally we will host intra-club and/or regional Regattas at our site too.

WHAT:  We like to race Kyosho Seawind, Dragon Flite 95, and Soling’s. We open racing to more than one boat class due to lack of Seawind spare parts and new sailboats.

If you do not have a boat and would like to try your hand or see if this is something you would like to try, we have club boats available for you.

The Town of Pineville has been very helpful and gracious allowing our club to use Lake Park and even built a dock for us to launch the boats. It is a great place for these activities.

If you are interested in having some fun and making new friends contact us via our website: www.queencitymyc.com or by email at: [email protected] or stop by!

Spring feels like a new beginning and a fresh start. Let the regenerative powers of sunshine, warm weather and more sunlight restore you and inspire you to spring-clean your world. Spring is a great time to refocus yourself and your family toward making healthy choices so you can enjoy the seasonal changes that come with the longer days.

Try these simple ways to jumpstart your spring cleaning.

Shake up your fitness routine – Take advantage of a warm spring weekend to rethink your attitude toward exercise. Instead of dreading it, think of exercise not as a workout, but as a chance to play and have fun.

Rethink your diet – Keep your food choices simple. Most nutrition experts agree that choosing whole, unprocessed foods, and reducing added sugars and portion sizes will improve your nutrition.

Schedule time for yourself – Time alone helps you recharge and replenish your energy. Schedule some “me” time every day and make it a priority, just as you would a doctor’s appointment or picking up the kids from school.

Do a digital detox – Don’t let phones, laptops and tablets distract you from living your life. Rather than trawling social media, check out new activities or hobbies that might interest you.

Senior Exercise

The senior exercise programs are in full swing at The Hut for in-person exercise (mask and vaccination required).

Why should I join or attend an exercise program? There are many reasons why older adults need regular exercise. Exercise reduces and eliminates many of the health concerns that come with aging. Regular activity also helps to maintain and reduce the loss of bones and muscles due to aging. There is a correlation between daily physical activity and the reduction of feeling of anxiety and depression in older adults. Besides the social aspect of meeting new people, occasionally we have other activities. this quarter we had a nutritionist provide our group with great information they could use to make better choices at the grocery store.

Selected Medicare Supplement or Advantage programs include wellness, so there would be no charge. The fee for all others is $5 per class.

There is a class that fits everyone’s needs: chair yoga/stretch & balance/strength & balance/ Cardio Fit – Contact Lorraine Haynes: [email protected]

Visit www.fitseniors.org for class descriptions, times, and updates.
