Mobile homes on a roll United Press International NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Tony Pinto and his industry knows what it is to be discrimin ated against. He sells mobile homes and manages 18 parks in four New England states. For the better part of a year now Pinto has been meeting with officials in Colchester, trying to overcome “the basic stigma of all mobile home parks” so he can develop a showcase model in their rural town, 16 miles south of Hartford. “They were open-minded,” Pinto said. His proposal for “Colchester Commons” was approved and amounted to the first zoning au thorization since 1972 in Con necticut, a state desperate for acceptable and affordable housing. His small New Haven-based company plans to develop at a cost of $ 1.5 million 112 half-acre sites, the wide open spaces by most mobile home park stan dards. The wooded site, com plete with sidewalks, will have a community building and a swimming pool. He expects to start construction next month.

Teachers in Dallas go to class to learn the basics of fitness :n United Press International ■ALLAS — Teachers in the ation’s eighth largest school ^■‘ict are learning to manage ittiess by a unique fitness prog- ■ that could save taxpayers $ 1 nillion annually. ^■t's called the “Aerobics Fit- K and Stress Management Heram” and it’s being offered , o the 12,000 employees of the > Dallas Independent School Dis- ■t in cooperation with Dr. ■t/i n uo'Kphn^h Cooper’s Aerobics 140 M^ e „ ter . ■“Everybody thinks we they me a stressful occupation and all suffer stress, it’s a fact of ife,”said Dr. Tom Collingwood, AAjJirector of continuing educa- irvvTion at the Aerobics Center. “I’ll ■nit that we learned this year ■t teaching has got to be one of ^he highest stress occupations.” ■The 16-week initial program JQ? <md year-round maintenance plan resulted from a successful pilot project last spring that showed handling stress becomes Bier as physical fitness im proves, Collingwood said. ■School officials estimate that ■trict-wide, improved health .will result in reduced absentee- 'ism and lower health care costs (and program could save tax- rnmtmmmmmmmmmmtm n payers $1 million annually. Collingwood said most peo ple’s stress levels drop as they become tired. And exercise im proves your energy level and ability to deal with stress, he said. The Dallas school district con tributed $250,000 to the prog ram this year because they were faced with skyrocketing health care costs and wanted to im prove the district’s morale. “They’ve demonstrated a real commitment to the teachers and they understand, and I believe this, it will be filtered down to the kids,” he said. Robbie Collins of the DISD said more than 2,500 teachers and hundreds of their spouses signed up for the new progam in the first three days. Sign-up for the program costs DISD employees $120 and spouses $225 annually. Officials say the combined worth of all they receive is $2,000. “Even if it was totally funded, we feel participants should con tribute something for their own motivation,” said Collingwood. The program is an eight-step course over 16 weeks that begins with medical screening and a fit ness assessment. Each participant receives in dividual exercise and diets de signed to improve the body’s ability to use oxygen. Activities such as walking, jogging, bicyl- ing and swimming are recom mended. They also receive weekly feedback, after-school group ex ercise sessions and education programs. At the end of 16 weeks, each participant receives a post- fitness assessment and a mainte nance program for the rest of the year. DISD and Aerobics Center officials say they tried to design the program to combat the high rate (70 percent) of adults who drop out of an adult Fitness program within six months by dealing with total lifestyle. wv hwest i 308 mm wail Foods s Tax DELTA TAU DELTA FALL RUSH Friday, September 3 Beach Party FREE BEER Become more than just another student!
