Area residents have a chance to learn more about the Pilates system of health and fitness, with classes being led by Cristy Solveson at Emporium's Memorial Hall. She offers "On the Ball" and "Mat Work" classes. This was the scene last week as several people, including septuagenarian Ray Brennan, turned out to learn about Pilates. Shown from left are Jodi Guisto, Mary Solveson, Marilyn Erickson, Cristy Solveson and Carol Hudson.
