President Elect Lou Bounces Back

A hush settled over our Twin Ponds gathering when it was announced that PE Lou Steppello was at St. Joseph\'s Hospital in Syracuse to undergo a triple bypass operation on Friday. Governor Elect Larry Calabrese paid a visit to Lou on Saturday and reports that he is doing fantastic. He is experiencing very little pain, eating well and driving the nurses crazy. Lou wants to thank his fellow Rotarians for keeping him in their prayers.

Rick and Missy

Utica Rotarian Carol Jubenville enjoys a panoramic view on her getaway weekend to the Mirror Lake Inn in Lake Placid. Carol and hubby Bob won first prize in our annual Service Fund drawing back in 2006-07.

This years winners, Rick and Missy Holohan, head for Lake Placid this weekend as our most recent winners of this weekend. With forecasted temperatures in the 90s, their timing could not have been better.

Rotary Club Encourages Fitness

An emergency room nurse, Diane Froelich was on the road to a possible medical emergency herself: By her own description, she was out of shape and overweight. Whats more, she was convinced she didnt have time to exercise. My [resting] heartbeat was 117, and I got winded just climbing one flight of stairs, says Froelich, 57.

So she signed up for Fit 2007, a six-month fitness challenge sponsored by District 6360 (Michigan) and local community groups and government agencies. The program, aimed at helping participants develop lifelong exercise habits, not only improved Froelichs health but also helped her realize that she wasnt too busy to take regular walks. Now my heart rate is in the mid-60s, and I can climb stairs without getting out of breath, Froelich said during a group walk in Kalamazoo in October, cheerfully keeping up a brisk pace despite a steady rain and puddles on the sidewalk. She lost 20 pounds during the challenge but noted, Im more excited about the fact that Im fit.

Starting in April, Froelich and about 1,800 others in southwest Michigan committed themselves to physical activities such as walking, mowing the lawn, and biking for at least 30 minutes a day, five days a week.

Participants recorded the number of minutes they exercised each day on the Fit 2007 Web site, which also featured tips for increasing activity levels and inspirational stories from exercisers. About 1,000 of the people who signed up recorded more than 4.7 million minutes for an estimated 236,500 miles, according to the programs Webmaster, Bob Brown, who divided the minutes by 20 to calculate the approximate mileage. In a survey conducted after the program ended, about a third of the participants reported improved fitness habits, said Brown, a member of the Rotary Club of Kalamazoo.

Past District Governor Karl Sandelin launched the program in 2006 as a 90-day project. During Fit 2007, Sandelin, 79, logged 750 miles as a member of a team at a retirement center that included a 100-year-old participant.
