The American Heart Association, Ventura County Division, will hold its annual Start! Ventura County Heart Walk on Sat., Oct. 18, at the Simi Valley Town Center, 1555 Simi Town Center Way. The event, expected to draw more than 500 participants, will include health screenings, yoga, Pilates and breathing classes, stretching clinic, free massage, and a Kids Zone with activities for children. Simi Valley resident Bruce Kanegai, who competed in the TV show "Survivor: Panama Exile Island 2006," will serve as master of ceremonies. Kanegai, a karate instructor, has taught art for 34 years at Simi Valley High School and has received a number of teaching awards.
