Recent Chapter Meetings For our January 2005 meeting we began with a visit to
South Jersey Airport, recently acquired by NJDOT. Thirteen members were able to
come out early and visit the Air Victory Museum which is located on the grounds of
the airport. After a very interesting presentation and a few laughs as
our braver
members climbed into rather tight spaces in the museum's vintage airccraft,
we moved
to Braddock's Tavern.
There were a number of positive comments about the food, although with
only one wiat
person they were a tad bit slow. Oor meeting brought in 27 persons, making
it one
of our better attended meetings. Our speaker was Tom Thatcher, Director of NJDOT
Division of Aeronautics. Tom discussed the Airport Safety Zone from the early failures
of zoning to keep airplanes and surrounding uses apart to the implementation of the
Airport Safety Zone and its uses today. There was a very lively question
and anser
period and Tom's background as a pilot, and sense of humor led to a very
enjoyable meeting

Safety Tip Courtesy of NJDOT
Stretch before, during and after physical activity-- like shoveling. Cold
muscles are
more likely to strain. When shoveling snow: Choose a shovel that's right
for you, one
with a handle length that lets you slightly bend your knees, flex your
back 10 degrees
or less, and hold the shovel comfortably in your hands at the start of
the shovel
stroke; a smaller blade is better than a larger one--helps avoid the risk of picking
up a pile of snow that is too heavy. When you grip the shovel, make sure
your hands
are at least 12 inches apart--increasing your leverage and reducing strain
on your
body Squat with your legs apart, knees bent and back straight, lifting
with your legs.
Do not bend at the waist. Scoop small amounts of snow into the shovel and walk to
where you want to dump it. Holding a shovel of snow with your arms outstretched
puts too much weight on your spine; Step in the direction in which you
are throwing
the snow-- preventing the low back from twisting and "next-day back fatigue".
Tackle heavy snow in two stages skimming off the snowfrom the top and then remove
the bottom layer. Avoid overloading the shovel. You are working too hard if you
cannot say a long sentencein one breath. If so, take a short rest or decrease the intensity
of effort slightly. Take frequent breaks. Stand up straightand walk around
periodically
to extend the low back. Do standing extension exercises by placing your hands on the
back of your hips and bend backwards slightly for several seconds. Make
sure
that your lower back is well covered. If your spine is exposed to the cold,your
muscles
can seize up resulting in back pain, muscle spasms and a .lack of coordination. If you
have a health problem or are not in good shape, do not even consider snowshoveling.
