A Note from Angie
It’s just about mid-August– and it is hard to believe just how fast this year is
coming to an end. It means lots of things going on.
We are planning the annual gain-share dinner. We are looking to do it August
19, 2011 at the Royal Bay, where we held the Christmas party. It will be at 6pm
and spouse’s are invited. More details to follow within the next week. But just a
heads up to keep that night open if possible. It is short notice, but Don decided
he would prefer to give everyone a night out and not rush the process or lose production time if we did it during the day.
We are also going to start hosting a monthly luncheon with Don, Gene and myself as well as 3-4 employees from all areas of the company. The objective of this
time will be to voice any concerns or issues that as an employee that you feel is
going on in the business. Please make use of this time to vent any frustrations or
concerns so that we as a management team can work to address. We wanted to
do this because Don is a busy man, and he is further removed from the daily part
of the business as compared to the past, and we felt like it would go a long ways
to put something in place so that people do get a chance to speak to him. We
hope it is a time that will improve communications as well as clarify some misunderstandings. This past year, I realize it does seem like managers/supervisors
have been so busy that they don’t always take the time to stop and explain why
we are making changes to doing certain projects. We feel like this will help give
us the space to do that.
We really do appreciate what skill each and every employee brings to the table
and it is very important that we listen and hear what is affecting the business.

Heat and Humidity
add up to
DANGER!!
Emergency rooms see an increase in cases of heat stroke and dehydration
in July and August. The American College of Emergency Physicians gives this
advice on how to stay safe in hot weather:
Check the heat index before going out to work, play or practice and
plan accordingly. Avoid direct sunlight in the middle of the day. Schedule
activities for the early morning or early evening hours. Wear loose, lightcolored clothes and hats. Dark colors absorb more heat. Drink lots of water
or sports drinks, about 8 ounces an hour when in the sun in order to avoid
dehydration.
Take frequent breaks in the shade or in air-conditioning to cool off.
Calculate the "apparent temperature" before taking part in activities.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration:
* At 90 degrees and 50% humidity, it feels like 96. At 70% humidity, it
feels like 106 degrees. Heat exhaustion is likely, so take it easy. Heat
exhaustion can include cramps, heavy sweating, nausea, heart-rate changes and
dizziness. Get the victim out of the sun, remove excess clothing and place
cool towels on extremities. Fan and give small sips of water.
* At 95 degrees and 50% humidity, it feels like 107 degrees. At 70%
humidity, it feels like 124 degrees. At that temperature and at any higher
temperature or humidity, it is extremely dangerous to be outside, and heatstroke could occur.
* At 100 degrees, humidity ranging from 35% to 55% can cause heat exhaustion. At 100 degrees, humidity of 60% or higher puts a person into heat
stroke territory.
Heatstroke is a medical emergency. Symptoms include confusion, an altered mental state, unconsciousness and hot, dry skin. Call 911. Do not
give fluids, which can cause seizures.
As you can see, high temperatures and high humidity are a dangerous
combination.

Psychologist tells how to find
your 'Inner Game'
W. Timothy Gallwey became well-known for helping athletes and executives improve their
performances. More recently, he teamed up with stress experts Edd Hanzelik, M.D., and John
Horton, M.D., to write a book for the rest of us: The Inner Game of Stress: Outsmart Life's
Challengers and Fulfill Your Potential.
His Four Rs: Gallwey says Americans are doers to the extreme. They have a hard time understanding that Rest, Relaxation, Recreation and Reflection are not just nice things to have, they
are essential to life and health.
When you can fit the four Rs into your life, you will be strong enough to deal with problems,
obstacles, and realistic scheduling of your time. Self-doubt, nervousness and lapses of concentration will be more easily overcome. You will be ready to trust your inner and outer resources
in order to move toward your desired outcomes.
Some helpful tools:
The STOP Technique. Learn to step back, think, organize and proceed with a conscious choice
process, even in the most chaotic circumstances.
The Attitude Tool. When you feel resentment, try gratitude.
The Transpose Exercise: Imagine what the other person feels and wants. It pays to use empathy
and better relationship skills.
The Magic Pen: Develop the ability to open up your intuition and wisdom. Use the pen to write
down all of your thoughts about a problem or obstacle. On another paper, write one of your
inner resource. It could be your clarity, compassion, candor or patience, any trait you consider a
personal strength. Then let your magic pen write a message to you about the subject. Let it write
as much as it wants.
The PLE triangle: Use your goals for Performance, Learning and Experience to redefine success and enhance enjoyment.
By accessing your inner game resources, you will be able to maintain stability and trust your
judgement to reach goals without experiencing high levels of stress.

Safety Spotlight:
A Fight over Table Saws
About 4,000 Americans lose a finger, hand or arm using a table saw each year. What most don't know is that
technology exists that could prevent such injuries.
SawStop, a saw manufacturer in Tualatin, Ore., markets a line of table saws equipped with a sensor system that
immediately halts and retracts a saw blade when it contacts flesh. Its founder, Stephen Gass, demonstrates the
product by pushing a hot dog into a whirring blade. The hot dog comes away with barely a scratch.
Gass has lobbied the Consumer Product Safety Commission to require all table saws to be equipped with SawStop
or a similar device. Agency officials have studied the proposal but have not made a decision, according to
Bloomberg Businessweek.
Other table saw manufacturers say requiring a blade brake would add about $100 to the price of consumer saws
that typically sell for less than $200. They say newer table saws are already equipped with improved blade guards.
To Drive Safely in Fog
* Turn off the radio and crack the window so you can listen for car engines and horns.
* Turn on the wipers, defroster, and low-beam headlights.
* Brake cautiously, because moisture can make the road slick.
* Slow down. Fog makes it difficult to judge speed. Watch the speedometer to ensure that you have
slowed down.
* If you still can't see very well on a highway, stop at a rest area.
* When the roadside is your only option pull completely off the road. Turn on your emergency flashers
and wait for the fog to clear.
* Take all fog-related weather warnings seriously.
