Avoid heat-related injuries by taking proper precautions during summer: Across the nation, unusually high temperatures are plaguing our
towns. We’ve already had our share of more than 90-degree days in Kansas. Therefore, I want to remind you, as you enjoy these warm summer
months, please keep in mind the role the temperature may play in your activities. Whether you are mowing the lawn, taking a motorcycle ride
with a buddy, playing a friendly game of softball, riding bikes with Family or out on the lake with friends, take proper precautions to avoid heat

2. injury. Hydration and good nutrition are two of the most important aspects of preventing heat injury. When in hot temperatures for prolonged
periods of time, the key is to stay cool – and keep your body temperature regulated. Staying cool may be as simple as making simple changes to
your fluid intake, activities and clothing during hot weather. To protect your health and safety when temperatures are extremely high,
remember:
• Pay attention to weather reports and adjust daily routines accordingly.
• Schedule physically strenuous activities for cooler times.
• Allow several days to adjust to hot environments.
• Dress in light, loose, cotton clothing. Wide-brimmed hats help keep you cool as well.
• When working outside, take periodic rest breaks in a cool area.
• Drink plenty of noncarbonated fluids before, during and after physical activities. Avoid alcohol and caffeine, which are diuretics – substances
that increase water loss via the urine.
• If you are taking medication, ask your doctor about its side effects.
• Keep cool with fans, air conditioning and cool baths or showers.
• Get plenty of sleep and eat light, nutritious and non-fatty meals.
• Never leave anyone in a closed, parked vehicle.
• Rest in the shaded areas often and don’t forget your sun block.
Many experts have said that the months between May and August are the most dangerous. More than half of all injuries occur during these four
months. Family barbecues, swimming, fishing, softball, hiking, boating and camping are just a few of the activities that fill perfect summer days.
Let’s make sure we only leave these events with great memories – not sunburns and heat exhaustion. Have a safe and happy summer. If you

Firecracker One Pitch offers new take on softball: An upcoming softball tournament will speed up the game and offer participants a different
spin on the sport. The annual Firecracker One Pitch softball tournament is set for 8 a.m. July 7 at Sacco Softball Complex. Each at-bat will consist
of one pitch. “You go out there with a full count with no courtesy fouls,” said Renee Saterlee, intramural coordinator, Directorate of Family and
Morale, Welfare and Recreation. “You get one pitch and you either hit, walk or strikeout.” Saterlee said the tournament offers a unique
opportunity to play softball differently. “It’s fast paced and it’s fun,” she said. “A lot of it has to do with pitching. It’s just a different twist to your
normal softball game. Normally, the games last about half an hour.” The tournament has been very popular in past years, Saterlee said. “Last
year we had 24 teams, so I’m hoping to up that a little bit,” she said. The tournament format is double-elimination and members of the top three
finishing teams will be presented awards. Registration is due July 5. Active-duty teams have no registration fee, and Department of Defense
cardholder teams will be charged $50 per team. For more information, call Saterlee at 785-239-2813 or visit www.rileymwr.com. By Parker
