PRESIDENT'S PERSPECTIVE

I want to thank Shirley Krieger for making the arrangements for the annual meeting held April 23 at the Arrowhead Country Club with 61 attendees. I also want to thank Al Boeck for arranging to have our speaker, Anne Ronon, who spoke in place of Tim Hogan, Executive Director of the AZ Center for Law in the Public Interest.  Tim had to appear in court that morning. I don't know about anyone else, but I had no prior knowledge of the wide range of subjects and cases the Arizona Center for Law in the Public Interest gets involved in. It was an eye-opening experience for me.

On behalf of the officers, thank you for placing your trust in us by electing us your 2008 – 2009 HRC officers. I want to congratulate Shirley Krieger and Don Peeples for being elected HRC Board Directors. Thank you Ike Templeton for volunteering to serve Lorri Jordan 's term for the coming year. I also want to thank the annual meeting attendees who took the time to fill out the survey. The results will help the board plan activities that will hopefully be of interest to the membership and encourage participation.

We are looking for volunteers to help with the committees. It is not an overpowering amount of work, and it is fun to work with the people you used to work with only in a more relaxed environment. Again, please contact me at 602-300-8304 or VMClagett@aol.com if you have some time to help.

Don't hesitate to contact any board member if you have suggestions on how the Honeywell Retiree Club can be of service to the retirees. Be sure to log into the Honeywell Retiree Club website www.hrcaz.org on a regular basis for updated information throughout the summer. Until next year …

Best Regards,

Virginia

HEALTH CORNER

By: Judy Nance RN

Better exercise for lung disease patients : In a study of 98 patients with severe chronic obstructive Pulmonary disease (COPD) – a condition that includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis --- those who did interval training (alternating 20 to 40 second bouts of high and low intensity exercise) were nearly twice as likely to tolerate exercise as those who performed continuous, high intensity exercise. If you have COPD: Ask your doctor if interval training is an option for you. Milo A. Puhan, MD, PhD, department of medicine, Horten Centre, University Hospital, Zurich, Switzerland. “Bottom Line Health” May 2008.

The Perfect Exercise : Walking is ideal, but for many people, cycling may be even better because it is an excellent choice if you are overweight or have back problems or arthritis. Start with a stationary bike. A beginner can start by pedaling for ten minutes at a very low resistance. Next, increase your workouts by five minutes per week until you can ride comfortably for 30 minutes uninterrupted. Each time start with five to ten minutes of easy cycling and then gradually increase resistance. A fitness center can suggest a plan to get the best from your work out. After you reach an intermediate level of stationary cycling, you'll be ready to bike outdoors. Never ride a bike without a helmet and check with your physician before starting a vigorous exercise program. Brief summary from: “Bottom Line Health, May 2008
