Communications Corner

Sun City Festival’s community Channel 22 can now be found on

Channel 1960 when you have a digital mini-box for cable through COX.

Cox Communications is changing the way it delivers televi-

sion signals to its customers. After a three-month transitionperiod, customers will need a digital converter box for eachTV set that now receives an analog channel lineup directlythrough a coaxial cable wire. Any television connecteddirectly into a wall plate will need some type of device inorder to receive channels.

New benets delivered via mini-box include:

• Expanded channel lineup compared with

analog service • On-screen programming guide

• Better picture quality in some cases

• 50 new music-only channels.

Mini-boxes, which are about the size of two stacked

mobile phones, may be obtained at Cox customer-servicecenters, ordered online at Cox.com/GoAllDigital or bycalling 844.239.2224.

Because Festival is in a Bulk Service Agreement with Cox,there are NO additional fees for the two mini-boxes ormonthly charges for the min-boxes during the term of theBulk Service Agreement. The Bulk Service Agreement termis June 2, 2014 through June 30, 2017.

Now that HOT weather has arrived, odds of heat-relatedillness increase substantially. Heat-related illness can be asminor as fatigue and muscle cramps, or as major as death.The best treatment for heat-induced illness is prevention. Allheat-related problems are preventable. Prolonged exposure toextreme heat begins a cascade of worsening problems in thebody.

Two of the body’s main methods of cooling are radiation and evaporation. Inradiation, the body’s heat production, substantially increased during exercise,radiates into the surrounding atmosphere. When the air is hot, less heat iscarried away from the body. During evaporation, sweat formed on the skin evap-

orates into the air and cools the skin as it dries. In high humidity and extremeheat, evaporation is less effective. Higher sweat production leads to dehydrationand to less effective cooling.

During exercise, radiation is accomplished via opening of blood vessels near thesurface of the skin and shunting of blood to the surface. During this shuntingprocess, blood is moved from the internal organs possibly leading to organdamage or failure. In some conditions of extreme heat, this can lead to thebody’s absorption of heat rather than radiation.

Medications such as diuretics and blood thinners magnify the effects ofheat on the body. With these medications, heat-related problems canoccur more easily and more quickly. Symptoms of heat-related illnesscan be extreme thirst, headache, lightheadedness, nausea and vomit-ing, involuntary muscle contraction and fainting.

A more important way to prevent heat-related illness is to drinkplenty of non-diuretic uids. Fluid consumption should be ongo-ing and not limited to times of heat exposure. Most researchrecommends approximately 2.5 liters (about 2.6 quarts) of waterper day for most adults, the minimum requirement for dailyliving. Heat exposure and exercise increase a person’s need to alevel far beyond the minimum requirement. For each additional1,000 calories burned beyond the typical 2,000 per day, waterneeds increase by 35-40 ounces. American College of SportsMedicine (ACSM) recommends 500 ml (17 ounces) of water

consumption two hours prior to exercise. During exercise, ACSM recommends150 ml (about 5 oz) of water every fteen minutes. During exercise in very hotor very humid conditions, water demands for cooling the body are even greater.From a weight perspective, 16 ounces of water should be consumed for everypound of body weight lost during exercise. A simple rule of thumb is to produceclear, frequent urine.

Great ways to avoid heat illness are to limit outdoor time to cooler periods of theday and wear light-colored, loose-tting, moisture-wicking clothing. Light colorswill reect heat. Breathable fabric helps perspiration evaporate from the skinmore quickly and easily.

During this time of extreme temperatures, heat-related illness is easily preventedthrough uid consumption, proper dress, and timing of heat exposure.
