Dear Ed:
Thank you for your continued sponsorship of the city's Park and Recreation
Guide! The publication of this biannual map is widely anticipated by our
residents and businesses. On May 23, we delivered a copy of the 2006 map to
all 9,000 mailing addresses within our community. The response to this year's
design and artwork has been overwhelmingly positive. I hope you agree that the
feature advertisement of Bokoo Bikes on the front of the map is well worth your
contribution towards its publication. In addition to the mailed copies, we have
an additional supply of 3,000 maps. for distribution at your store, city hall, and
the Chanhassen Recreation Center.
Our community is blessed with a growing and supportive business community.
By your actions, you distinguish Bokoo Bikes as one of the premier community-
minded organizations within our community. Please pass my thanks onto your
entire staff. Again, on behalf of the entire City Council, thank you for your
generous sponsorship!
Sincerely" ~

New wrinkle in fitness
Growing old isn't what it used to be. Boomers aren't shuffling into their golden
years, they're running, skiing, biking, swimming.
Story and Photos By Darlene Prois ., Star Tribune
Patricia Amidon doesn't think of herself as an athlete. Running is all she does,
she says, and she didn't even start until she was 51.
She's 71 now, with more than two dozen marathons under her feet. The St. Paul
woman ran her usual two last year, finishing them in just over five hours, nearly
half an hour faster than she did four years ago.
Amidon has discovered the regenerative power of exercise. Hard, sweaty
exercise. And she's not alone: thousands of adults 50 or older are joining health
clubs, running races, taking up new sports or rediscovering ones they'd once
excelled at.
With empty nests and careers in perspective or behind them, they have time __
and money -- to spend taking care of themselves.There's even a new magazine
that celebrates these aging athletes. "GeezerJock" heralds the competitive
athlete 40 and up, and it's grown a circulation of 75,000 in just one year, an
almost unheard-of feat in the competitive magazine business.
Current books caution that the quest for eternal youth is not easy. One popular
title, "Younger Next Year --How to Live Like You're 50 -- Until You're 80 and
Beyond," advises readers to start exercising and not stop. It's been selling so
well that the authors, 71-year old Chris Crowley (who looks and functions like a
fit 50-year old) and his doctor, Henry S. Lodge, published another book for
women this year.
Doctors applaud the trend
Exercise is one of the best ways to maintain healthy cholesterol and blood
pressure levels and keep weight under control, said Dr. Eric Tangalos, an
internal medicine and geriatric specialist at the Mayo Clinic.
"I often get the complaint from someone who is 50 or 60 who says if I had
known I would live this long I would have taken better care of myself," said the
56-year old doctor. "I tell them that it's never too late."
He advises anyone under 70 to start an exercise program strenuous enough to
make them sweat. Daily activity just won't cut it.
"We've done a better job of communicating over the last 20 years the value of
exercise," said Tangalos. "But the way our cities are put together aren't helping

us. There are ve few communities where ou can walk through the day --we've
~en away opportunities to burn ca ories in our daily II e. '~
Tangelos and his wife, Chris, exercise together, which is something he advises
his patients to do, too.
"You have to support one another," said Tangelos. "Those who are successful
at aging have active lifestyles, avoid overeating and over-drinking. They have
lifelong habits that include exercise, and usually they're couples."
