A Note From Rachelle

HurricaneSeason

Hurricane SeasonHurricane season starts on June

1, and we need to make sure weare well prepared. The tropics inthe Gulf of Mexico have beenpretty quiet the last several years,but one thing that previous stormstaught us is that we can never betoo prepared. If we do have ahurricane this year, we will be wellprepared as a community.However, it is critically importantthat everyone preparesindividually as well. Make sureyou keep the following items onhand during this hurricaneseason.

• A minimum of twoflashlights

• Plenty of batteries for theflashlights

• A case of bottled water• Comfortable shoes• Extra blankets• Peanut butter and tuna fish• Bread and crackers• Emergency contact listThere are a couple of things

that you need to keep in mind. Ifwe have a storm and lose power,you will not have power in yourroom. There is also a possibility

that you will not have sufficientrunning water to take a shower.During the storm, we would haveless staff than usual, so we wouldhave to scale back some of ouractivities and some of our routinetasks. The good news is that wewould do everything we can tokeep you safe and fed.

We work very hard as acommunity to prepare for majorstorms. I feel confident that wewill be as prepared as possible inthe case that we have a storm.Please let me know if you haveany questions. Be safe!

Not Just for DadsWith Father’s Day just around

the corner, look for deals on toolsand other handy gift items.Whether you’re buying for Dad orsimply need a few items for yourown toolbox, June is a goodmonth to pick up a new hammer,wrench or screwdriver set.

Sun SafetySunscreen is not the only thing

to remember when you spendtime outdoors this summer. Awide-brimmed hat and sunglasseswill help shield you from thesun’s UV rays.

Poll Reveals ExerciseReduces Arthritis PainPeople with arthritis who

exercise regularly have less jointpain than those who exercise lessoften, according to an ArthritisFoundation (AF) poll. Eighty-onepercent of people with arthritiswho exercise three or more daysper week reported they arevirtually joint-pain free, comparedto 66 percent who exercise two orfewer days per week.

Dr. Patience White, AF’s chiefpublic health officer, says,“Although the temptation may beto stay inactive to avoidaggravating the condition, bybeing physically active peoplewith arthritis can actually improvetheir quality of life. Simplywalking can reduce joint pain andstiffness, build muscles aroundthe joints and improve overallhealth, enabling people witharthritis to experience fewerlimitations and lead a fuller life.”

Physical activity also promotesweight loss. “For people abovetheir ideal weight, losing as littleas 11 pounds decreases the risk ofpainful knee osteoarthritis,”White says.
