Show m-- HIE RICHFIELD REAPER Wednesday March It's The Hardest Part Of An Excersise Program 16 1994 As I See It BERT'S BIASES By Bert Lowry The typical announcer of spring in many folks' minds is old robin redbreast which is actually a thrush This bird has become so numerous that it seems to be every here at all seasons of the year If you are astute as you are out and about you should pick up the delicate call of the bluebird which has shown up in the last couple of weeks There was a lime when you could drive out in the farmland and marvel at the brilliant colors of a strutting rooster pheasant — but alas our overabundance of over-protecte- d predators has almost totally eliminated this beautiful bird There arc also a lot of other signs which should convince you that spring has sprung If you are into gardening you should have that itch to get out and till the soil If you have been looking you should have observed the first blossoms of the crocus and the green shoots of the daffodils and other bulb plants The lawns are starting to have that green tinge as their new growth pecks through the old dead blades of last year The willow trees are takhue as ing on their greenish-yellothey arc starting their grow th You can also check out the snow line wherever it is to watch the deer "chase the green" Speaking of deer if you want to sec a sight take from an evening drive along Cove Fort to Fillmore Pay particular attention to the green grassy fields cast of the freeway and marvel at the numbers of deer out in the open fields Try to count them and then project where they all go to summer Yes spring is here and it once again shows the rich heritage we have here in the Reaper Realm All text many of us arc loo wrapped up in our search for happiness to take a kx)k around and enjoy — at no cost — all the bounties of old Mother Nature If you arc suffering from the winter blahs this year you need to be checked out It seems as if spring has been here for weeks because of all the good weather we’ve been having but our old nemesis the spring frost is still lurking out there some here We human becomings worry about such things as dates but old Mother Nature's children just do w hat they do because they can't do anything else If you are one who looks for her signs you w ill know that those harbingers of spring arc in full swing The first creatures I know of are the golden eagles and the ravens If you've been watching you will have seen their aerial antics as they non-nativ- e perform their courtship routines like pairs of Olympic ice dance teams performing in midair If you've never taken the tunc to watch this graceful acrobatics show it's your loss Another surefire sign is our two imports from Jolly Old England the weaver finch (house sparrow) and the starling These two overbearing and pugnacious immigrants get the jump on our native species and do a pretty good job of taking up most of the nesting territories that could be used by other birds They nest in every hole they can find and when all those spaces arc full the sparrow will build a nest in the branches of a tree At this time of year you can watch them squabbling and fighting amongst them- selves for nesting territories If you would rather have a more serene indicator take an evening drive out around the valley and check out the stubble fields that haven’t been ploughed under yet You will see the majestic Canada honkers already paired off some at Eighth Grade Students Eighth Grade students named as February Students of the Month at Red Hills Middle School

you arc into birding you will notice the change in routine of our resident birds and the exchange of species as some leave for the north and others move into our area to nest Men's City League Games

start slow ly and build up You didn't get in the shape you're in ovcmighL There is all kinds of research to show that those in their golden years can do much more physically than sit around and hope they don't become a burden on their families So don't cross your fingers and hope that you didn't abuse your body too much when you were young or think that because you were in such great shape for so many years that you'll get by Remember wc don't want to go out like a dimmer sw itch but like a light bulb Wc must use our muscles or wc will lose them And if you have let some ol it slip go get it back The goal ought to strive to be physically emotionally mentally and spiritually active until wc arc 100 and die in our sleep I plan to talk more about rounding off the curb in a later article You will use oxygen more efficiently increasing the flow of nourishment to the body In fact breathing deeply and properly is a subject eatwill include drug abuse low-fing exercising and taking charge of our own health Please mention my plans to your children's teachers and line this up with my parents Believe me oftentimes grade schoolers and teenagers will listen to someone coming in rather than to parents and teachers Now for this week's subject If exercise could be prescribed in a pill d it would be the most pill of all time The only problem is that it takes about 20 to 40 minutes to swallow iL There are thousands of books on exercise How much? How often? What intensity? What machine is best? The best machine in my opinion is the one you use every day — your ow n two feet My father w ill yell at me because he sells Health Riders and thinks they're the only thing I prefer using our great local Sunrise Fitness Center when I'm home Whatever you use move your large muscles and do it at a rate that you can talk while you do iL We were made to move and all this sitting in front of a computer of TV is going completely against what nature intended The number one problem with starting an exercise program is just that — getting started After wc start most of us make the mistake of doing loo much too soon By the way if you have been away from moving for a while you need to have a good physical examination by a health care professional 1 promise you that if you get moving your body it will quickly move from a havc-l- o exercise to a want-t- o There arc so many reasons to do iL Five reasons I had to know for a test arc: cardiovascular endurance body composition flexibility muscular strength and muscular endurance That was the easy part of the test Here again parents example is the best teacher If your children see you reading often they will think they should If children sec you exercising they will give it a high priority Right away some of you arc saying that if you only had the time or if you only hand the energy to exercise you would Come on wake up! Is there anything more important than good health? OK I don't want to have that could take another article Probably the most important element in one’s health is oxygen Wltiraut Nolle: Call Thaatr For Any Show Chang " J No reserve no minimum bids Everything must be sold On March 26 1994 at 10:00 am at 535 South 50 East Richfield Utah the personal property of Reed Christensen deceased will be sold in lots to the highest bidder The personal property includes various tools welders steel furniture antiques livestock panels squeeze chute portable feed bins etc Property can be inspected beginning at 7 :00 am the day of the sale and anaerobic exercise In the mean- time get moving and remember "The human body is the best picture of the human soul" Ludwig Wittgenstein ( Mindy Ogden is the current Miss Richfield and will graduate from Utah Valley Stale College this spring with her associate of science degree She continues her education in lifestyle management) Honors any religious discussions but Emerson said "the first wealth is health" I think he was right on Do you know someone who has lost their health? How much would they pay to get it back Do wc have to lose something to discover how precious it is?
