∙ The cold winter weather is upon us! And... that brings “heaving” in our walkways and parking areas. Remember to walk your site to note areas that need attention. We want to try and prevent “slips & falls” as best we can. Areas that may have lifted up should be “marked out” cautioning all those who use them.

∙ Contact Jeff Whittum - Precision Safe Sidewalks for your sidewalks that need attention. email: Safewalkne@gmail.com; call 1-800-734-8891. Most asphalt plants are now closed but, some local contractors can still make spot crack sealing or delamination repairs in your lots. Check with those we have listed on RMIS.

Approximately 30% of people report lack of time as their main reason for not working out, yet the average person spends about 35 minutes a day on Facebook.

You’ve heard the numerous benefits exercise provides. You would love to feel better mentally & physically. But, when it comes down to it, you just don’t have the time. Sound familiar? You are not alone! But you are (probably ) wrong in thinking you have no time.

The recommendation for physical activity is 150 minutes per week moderate exercises. Sound like a lot? Let’s break it down:

∙ 21.5 minutes a day ∙ 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week ∙ 10 minute fitness breaks 2-3 times a day
