RESIDENT PROFILE

Terry and Myrna have been married 51 years. Their life together started in North Dakota.

Soon after marriage they moved to San Jose, Califor-nia. Terry was a chef in an Elks Club there and then he met a gentlemen that changed his life by getting him interested in car racing. That lead to racing all over the west coast with a trip to Georgia for the National Championships each year. Racing was the start of an automotive machine shop, fabrication shop and owning a retail racing store. Later, he strictly focused on building engines for Mazda racers from all over the country.

Besides helping with the racing business, Myrna had her own career in the advertising industry in Silicon Valley. She feels lucky to have been in the right place at the right time to experience some of the most

exciting electronic developments and meeting some of the most influential people in the Bay Area at that time. She was production manager for an advertising agency whose clients included Apple Computer and Intel Corporation.

In the early years of their retirement, they RVd around the country and decided to settle in Arizona. They currently split their time between their lake cabin in Minnesota and their home here in Sun City Festival.

At Festival, they were instrumental in starting the Canadian American Club and are active within the golf community. Terry served on the Mens Golf Group and the Canadian American Club Board Of Directors. Myr-na has served on a Womens Golf Group committee and is currently on the Canadian American Club Board Of Directors. One of the other attractions of living in Sun City Festival is having the desert so accessible for taking their Razor out for a ride with friends.

Bee Safety - Stay AlertThe best safety advice is to avoid an encounter with unfriendly honey bees and be alert. Honey bees sting to defend their colony, so be on the look out for honey bee swarms and colo-

nies. Watch for bees coming in and out of an opening such as a crack in a wall, or the hole in a water meter box. Listen for the hum of an active bee colony. Look for bees in holes in the ground, holes in trees or cacti, and in sheds. Be extra careful when moving junk that has been lying around.

Bee Prepared! Wear light-colored clothing. Experience has shown that bees tend to attack dark things. Dark clothing, dark hair, any thing dark in color could draw the bees. A USDA entomologist says that when he inspected apiaries he could often tell that they were Africanized by the number of stings he got in his black leather camera case.

Avoid wearing floral or citrus aftershaves or perfumes when hiking. Bees are sensitive to odors, both pleasant and unpleasant. The smell of newly cut grass has been shown to rile honey bees.

Check around your house and yard at least once a month to see if there are any signs of bees taking up residence. If you do find a swarm or colony, leave it alone and keep your family and pets away. Call a professional bee exterminator to remove the swarm in a safe manner.

If a swarm of bees is seen in a common area of the com-munity or on the golf course for more than a couple days, please contact the Community Association main number at 928-252-2100 to report the exact location. Do not call 911 or the Fire Dept. unless a bee attack is in progress.

Now that HOT weather has arrived, odds of heat-related illness increase substantially. Heat-related illness can be as minor as fatigue and muscle cramps, or as major as death. The best treatment for heat-induced illness is prevention. All heat-related problems are preventable. Prolonged exposure to extreme heat begins a cascade of worsening problems in the body.

Two of the bodys main methods of cooling are radiation and evaporation. In radiation, the bodys heat production, substantially increased during exercise, radiates into the surrounding atmosphere. When the air is hot, less heat is carried away from the body. During evaporation, sweat formed on the skin evaporates into the air and cools the skin as it dries. In high humidity and extreme heat, evaporation is less effective. Higher sweat production leads to dehydration and to less effective cooling.

During exercise, radiation is accomplished via opening of blood vessels near the surface of the skin and shunting of blood to the surface. During this shunt-ing process, blood is moved from the internal organs possibly leading to organ damage or failure. In some conditions of extreme heat, this can lead to the bodys absorption of heat rather than radiation.

Medications such as diuretics and blood thinners magnify the effects of heat on the body. With these medications, heat-related problems can occur more easily and more quickly. Symptoms of heat-related illness can be extreme thirst, headache, lightheadedness, nausea and vomiting, involuntary muscle contraction and fainting.

A more important way to prevent heat-related illness is to drink plenty of non-diuretic fluids. Fluid consumption should be ongoing and not limited to times

of heat exposure. Most research recommends approximately 2.5 liters (about 2.6 quarts) of water per day for most adults, the minimum requirement for daily living. Heat exposure and exer-cise increase a persons need to a level far beyond the minimum requirement. For each additional 1,000 calories burned beyond the typical 2,000 per day, water needs increase by 35-40 ounces. American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends 500 ml (17 ounces) of water consumption two hours prior to exercise. During exercise, ACSM recommends 150 ml (about 5 oz) of water

every fifteen minutes. During exercise in very hot or very humid conditions, wa-ter demands for cooling the body are even greater. From a weight perspective, 16 ounces of water should be consumed for every pound of body weight lost during exercise. A simple rule of thumb is to produce clear, frequent urine.

Great ways to avoid heat illness are to limit outdoor time to cooler periods of the day and wear light-colored, loose-fitting, moisture-wicking clothing. Light colors will reflect heat. Breathable fabric helps perspiration evaporate from the skin more quickly and easily.

During this time of extreme temperatures, heat-related illness is easily prevented through fluid consumption, proper dress, and timing of heat exposure.
