It is that time of year again! Are you in it to win it?

The Biggest Loser Competition is in full swing! In the last three years since we have started the competition, we have had a total loss of 948.10 pounds. Lets make this year an even better year! This year there are 35 employees that were randomly selected to be on a team. As a team, they will encourage one another to make healthier choices that will have a positive effect on the scales every two weeks. A $25 gift card will be given to the male and female losing the highest percentage of body weight. The contest lasts for 12 weeks. The winning team will be the team that loses the largest percentage of body weight. The first place team will share $1,500 and the second place team will share $500. If you want to lose weight, dont be scared to start today! If we can do it, YOU CAN DO IT TOO! GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL!

Winter Driving Tips

1. Be Able to See and Be Seen Clear frost and snow off all windows, mirrors, lights and reflectors 2. Get a Feel for the Road When you first start out, accelerate carefully to test wheel-spin and brake gently to test skidding. 3. Be Gentle Use the accelerator and brakes slowly to maintain control of your vehicle 4. Increase Your Following Distance Ice or snow can multiply your stopping distance up to ten times 5. Make Turns Slowly and Gradually Brake before you come to a curve, not while you are in it. 6. Turn in the Direction of the Skid If the rear of your car begins to slide, turn into the direction of the skid. Expect a second skid as the car straightens out, and be prepared to counter this sliding action. 7. Scattered Slippery Spots Do not use your brake. Take your foot off the gas and steer as straight as possible until your car slows to a safe speed. 8. Avoiding a Collision In an emergency situation, you can intentionally steer your car off the road and into a snow bank. You may get stuck, but youll avoid a crash.
