Safety Committee SAFETY 4 "ALL" SEASONS Driving and pedestrian safety continues to be one of our major areas of concern. Remember, while driving in our neighborhood, the speed limit on Four Seasons Circle is 30 mph, while the speed limit on our residential side streets is 25 mph and 15 mph in our alleyways and parking lots. Also, no parking is allowed in our alleyways. Regarding roundabout safety, always yield to vehicles already in the roundabout and only travel in a counterclockwise direction (i.e., keeping to the right as you enter the roundabout). … and stop at all STOP signs and yield to pedestrians. While walking, be mindful of vehicle trac and stay on the sidewalks whenever possible. If you need to walk in the street, always walk facing trac, and if in a group, walk single le. PREPARE FOR YOUR DAY, THE HEALTHY WAY EAT RIGHT: A nutritious diet can increase both physical and mental performance, energy levels, and help play an important role in weight loss. A well-nourished body can also help overcome stress. Chances are you are one of the millions of Americans who have tried, at one time or another, to lose weight. Unfortunately, the diet gimmicks and quick weight loss plans oen seem to accomplish nothing more than disappointment. Note: If you would like assistance with achieving your weight loss goals, consider joining TOPS (Taking O Pounds Sensibly), a supportive group of individuals in Four Seasons that meets each Tuesday at 8:30 am in e Lodge Ballroom. STAY ACTIVE: Staying active does not necessarily mean working out at the gym or buying an expensive exercise machine. Start out each day stretching before you start your daily activities. While exercise is necessary to maintain an ideal body weight, it does not need to be a workout in the gym. Go for a walk on our sidewalks, on one of our beautiful trails, in one of our pools, or consider riding a bike. Just have fun and be active. Exercise helps to burn calories, suppress the appetite, increase metabolism and energy levels, and reduce stress. Your doctor can help you with any personal concerns and get you started on a simple exercise program. RECHARGE: Getting plenty of sleep and taking an aernoon "power nap" to reenergize are a few ways to stay well rested. On average, people need around eight hours of sleep a night, although this can vary on the person and his or her age. Caeine and alcohol can interfere with your sleep cycle. CPR/AED CLASSES: Monthly CPR Sunday classes are not currently being scheduled. However, you may arrange to schedule a CPR class for your club or committee by calling, texting, or emailing A J Reilly to set up a class: (951) 522-9975 or reilly58@ me.com. As a reminder, the Safety Committee meets on the rst Tuesday of the month at 10 am in the RCN Conference Room. We encourage you to attend the meeting if you have any concerns or would simply like an update on our ongoing safety projects. All the best. ~ Frank Hilberg, hilberg frank@gmail.com 26 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | OCTOBER 2024
