With temperatures sizzling
this week, the Mount Rainier
Chapter of the American Red
Cross is advising people to take
some precautions to stay safe
during the excessive heat wave.
The very young and elderly
are especially vulnerable to the
heat and heat-related illnesses,
according to Karen Kim of the
Mount Rainier Chapter, which
includes Mason County. She
made the point that, as is the
case when it comes to all dan-
gerous weather conditions, pre-
vention and preparation are the
keys to avoiding tragedy.
"Take time to check on your
elderly neighbors or relatives,"
she said. "People with chronic
health issues are also at greater
risk and need to take special
care of their health. Knowing
what to do to stay safe during
hot weather can save a life."
skin, and there may be change
in consciousness, nausea, dizzi-
ness or headaches.
"The body temperature can
rise so high that brain dam-
age and death may result if the
body is not cooled quickly," Kim
said.
PET OWNERS should be
especially vigilant for signs of
heat stroke in their animals.
Symptoms of heat stroke in
animals can include sluggish
and non-responsive demeanor,
bright red or dry tongue and
gums, vomiting or diarrhea,
heavy panting, or a high heart
rate. Never leave a dog in a car,
even for a few minutes.
"Many people include their
pets in outdoor activities, but
animals, like humans, can easi-
ly overheat during the hot sum-
mer months," Kim said.

She lost 12 pounds and came within
one pound of her New Year's goal of
losing 50 in six months. "This chal-
lenge has given me the inspiration
to keep up the pace and helped me
to see the light at the end of the tun-
nel," she said.
As the winner of the competi-
tion, Peninsula will have custody of
the 10K a Day trophy for the next
12 months. Other big steppers were

To track their progress, the credit
unions used step counters provided
by their health insurance company
and logged steps on-line through
a program called America on the
Move. Hughes said that on aver-
age people walk between 2,000 and
4,000 steps a day.

Employees of Peninsula Credit
Union were a few steps ahead of the
competition in "The Health of It."
That's the name of a program in
which four credit unions challenge
their employees to walk 10,000
steps per day during the month of
May. People in the health-care in-
dustry say this amount of exercise
improves health by reducing stress,
increasing energy and strengthen-
ing the heart. Participating employ-
ees at Peninsula led the group with
an average of 10,537, according to
David Hughes of the credit union.
Also participating in the competi-
tion were O Bee Credit Union, Twin-
Star Credit Union and the Washing-
ton State Employees Credit Union:
Management of Peninsula gave
gifts to the top 10 walkers. Top
honors went to 55-year-old Lauren
Munday with an average of 31,985.
"I attained and continued to attain
my steps by walking on my tread-
