Stair poster promotes use of stairs for health(Submitted by Kendall College of Art and Design) Kendall College of Art and Design of Ferris State University has released a stair prompt signage design to promote active living in Western Michigan. Graphic images promoting healthy behavior have been shown to motivate stair users, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The message in the signage, “Get Healthy, Save the Earth, Take the Stairs!” also points to a greener option, the stairs, over energy- consuming elevators. A stair week is planned for early September to raise awareness. According to national research on health-promot-ing architecture, six studies evaluated the relationship between people’s perception of the environment and physical activity. Overall, the median improvement in some aspect of physical activity was 35 percent given a perceived safer, inviting environment. In active building design research, men who climbed at least 20 fl oors per week (four fl oors per work day) can lower their risk of stroke and death from all causes by 20 percent.•

Preparing for the FairSubmitted by Ginger BregeThis July the Muskegon County Youth Fair welcomes you to its third installment of horse showing. Cloverbud, the fair’s budding new division for children ages 5-8, gears up for its most exciting year yet. With enrollment doubling every year, the division will showcase 24 children and their horses, up from 11 last year. Achieved increase in enrollment can be attributed to our reputation mentoring kids whom would like to get involved with horses. The fair begins Tuesday, July 23rd ending on Saturday, July 27th. The Cloverbuds will be showing their horses Wednesday at 9:00 a.m., July 24th. Come support your community’s youth and have a good time doing it. Kids who come down can meet livestock, see the horses, and even go into the arts and crafts barn.
