Show Senior & Health The Summit County Bee Page A6 North Summit Senior Citizens by Louise Wallace When we picked Tuesday to take our scenic autumn trip, we certainly lucked out. We had clear skies and pleasant temperatures all day. We did have some unwanted company at one of the rest stops when the bees were a bit overactive at our being there. We took care of that and left the area to them. As we traveled to Sundance and through Timpanogos canyon, I didn't think the foliage was nearly as colorful as I remember it being from other years. However, the view of the majestic mountains and deep, deep canyons was spectacular. They left us kind of in awe and we knew that the hand of God had to be in the creation of such a world. Charles (Chuck) Grower drove our van and Jim Gene drove the van he brought from Kamas, Since we had more people than the two vans could hold, Harold Donaldson drove his car with Martha Ann and Doris and Hal Hardin as passengers; Cindy McGec drove George Perkins vehicle with George and Mary Mair as passengers, and we had a nice trip. The only thing that would have been nicer would have been if we had all been in a big bus together. We had lunch at the Golden Corral with the club picking up the difference from the $5 from each and the total bill which included taxes and gratuity and a drivers tip to Jim. Jim is a good driver and said he would be happy to drive for us whenever we wished him to. We thank both him and Chuck for being such willing servants. Our day trip, which is sponsored by the county, is to have lunch at Chuck-A-Rama in Bountiful prior to taking a tour of Mrs. Cavanaugh's Chocolate Factory on Oct. 10. The cost is $13 and the deadline for reservations is already past. However, we must have the $13 by this Friday, the 29th. You can either give it to us at Seniors or pay directly to Anita Lewis or Susan Ovard at the courthouse. We held our monthly board meeting on Friday, and we agreed that we When Energy Ebbs, Try Something New For Flow When you're feeling low energy and overwhelmed by your life, you might be rifled by your routine. If \.m are. you might benefit from the following exercise. Get the local paper that lists what's going on in your town, or somewhere near where you live. Pick out five things that sound like something you'd never do. I T instance, if you're not a theatergoer, pick out a live show. If you're not an an aficionado, select an art exhibit. If you're not an lecture attendee, find one and go to it. The whole idea here is to get your energy flowing in a new direction — To shake yourself out of your routine—To do something new and different. To stimulate your mind and senses in ways that you usually don't. Keep in mind that if you're an avid reader, buying a new type of book really won't work. You want to change venues here. You might be surprised how enjoyable these things that you would not normally do might be. At the very least, you will shake things up and get yourself moving.

We know this may cause some inconveniences to some of you hut it surely will help those doing the organizing of these events. We may lake a trip in December with the club paying for the transportation and the meal being paid by the members. Watch for future reports on that. Joe Jenkins is in charge of October and he will have an activity calendar ready for our inlormaliun. Whatever he has planned, 1 am sure it will be fun. We thank Harold for taking care of .September, and thank Keith Shaw for wearing the three hats of President, Vice President and Secretary when Harold and I have been absent. The band held a practice session this week so we arc back on track. Harold and Cindy McGehee told some humorous stories and, once again. Mary Mair brought candy and Harold brought squash and zucchini. We still haven't got the names of the people who donated the meals to us, but we enjoyed roast pork for dinner on Wednesday. Hope those nice people know we do thank them. I heard a couple of phrases awhile ago that I hadn't heard for years. How about "lawsy me" and "can you beat all?" Those were favorites of my Aunt Mary Barzce. She was a genuine pioneer, worked like ;• ,nan and, "Yes", she could use more colorful language than that, bul just hearing those phrases brought her vividly back to my mind. Aunt Mary lived in Birch Creek, ID, which is near Salmon. Raised seven children almost by herself, ran the Birch Creek Post Office and a school in her home and lived to be just six weeks short of 98 years. Aunt Mary was my dad's sister and one o\' my favorite aunts. Just thought I would share those thoughts with you and, besides, it seems like a good way to end my report. See you next week. September 29, 2006 Manufacturing Expert Offers Tips To Help Families Save Time Most people spend far too much time wandering about their kitchen. At least that's what Richard Kunst says. Kunst is vice president of continuous improvement at I.a-Z-Boy, a company that has implemented new policies to reduce costs and improve the quality of their products. Kunst is the vice president of continuous improvement at La-Z-Bny and is an expert at implementing "lean'1 manufacturing principles. Lean is a philosophy aimed at reducing waste, improving quality and increasing productivity, which is increasingly being embraced in manufacturing, in part, because of the results that have come when the philosophy has been implemented. We can always use new ideas and suggestions. Here are 10 tips for a more organized family life: 1. Rveryone has a morning routine. Take a look at how much wasted motion is in thai routine. For example, Kunst said ''e has organized his kitchen so everything that is needed to make his cup of coffee is located near the coffee machine. Their kitchen cupboards are organized not by types of dishes but by meal categories. "Everything in our kitchen is zoned by meal or snack." he said. 2. Put a computer in a common busy area like the kitchen and have everyone post and update their schedules on a daily basis. Notes to family members can be left on the computer, instead of on scraps of paper. ^//PEOPLE U{\ SERVING mk PEOPLE 3. Plan to take care of certain household chores on a consistent weekly basis. For example, laundry could be relegated to Mondays, shopping to Tuesdays and general household cleaning to Wednesdays. 4. When il comes to cleaning house, divide it into areas and get everyone involved at the same tinv;. Make sure everything has its place. "We have found lhal by adopting lean principles to keep the house duller free, ii\s a loi easier to keep the house clean.1' 5. Avoid what Kunsl calls the •'basement lo the attic theory1' that happens when one part of the house, such as the basement, is cleaned by moving boxes to another part of the house, such as the attic. If you do have items you want to store, put them in a box and date that box. If you haven't used those items in a year, throw them out. Kunsl advises. 6. Draft a family mission statement. Develop a plan for when big projects such as remodeling are to be done and vacations arc to be taken. Establish a roadmap and include milestones so progress can be measured. 7. Kunsl advises families lo take digital pictures of all their closets and drawers. That's also a good way to document what is in your home. he said. Before and after pictures can also help you recognize the progress you've made as you have organized. 8. Have all your bills set up so they arc paid electronically without you having to deal with each one. This can save on the amount of mail you have to process. 9. Keep a running grocery list. Kunst owns a refrigerator that uses bar codes to track which supplies need to be replenished. It electronically sends its own shopping list to the nearby family computer. 10. If you don't want to spend your time doing yard work, design your landscaping to make it easier to maintain your yard. Kunst said his lawn ]•- el up so that there is no trimming necessary and all four acre*, of it can be mowed with riding lawnmuwcr. Kunst admits friends sometime tease his family when they see howorganized the)r are. He said being organized creates time for his family"We actually spend more time doing the things we enjoy doing," he said. "Thai" really what lean is about: minimizing your waste and maximizing your resources. I think that's whai people are trying t" do in their lives: maximize their free time so they can spend more time with their family and more time doing activities they enjoy." Qo Classifieds!
