Subject: News for Oneida County AIS - December 9, 2017
Good Afternoon,
I realize news from the AIS department has been quiet
lately. That’s because November and December are the months when we roll up our
sleeves and dive into grant applications and grant reports. These grants
are extremely important to Oneida County as they provide funding for projects
that help protect our valuable water resources. I am happy to say that we are
beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
In the meantime, I wanted to share two fantastic educational

Minding Our Water - Did you know that the human body
undergoes remarkable changes every time you go underwater? The heart rate slows
and the cardiovascular system shifts gears, allowing people to hold their
breath much longer than they can above land. Did you also know that, even when
controlling for all other variables, people who live near lakes, rivers and
oceans experience significant benefits in terms of happiness, longevity, and
absence of diseases? These are just some of the many fascinating ways that
being near, in, on, and under water affects people. We invite you to take a
closer look at these phenomena during the 2017 Wisconsin Lakes Partnership
Convention in Stevens Point April 5-7 as we “go deeper” and explore the
mind-body-water connection.
Have a great weekend and Happy Holidays,
Steph
