Wellness SPOTLIGHTRIDING FOR A CAUSE! Three years ago on May 19, 2012, I lost my grandmother, Deborah Nocentelli due to complications of Diabetes treatment management. She was truly the “ROCK” which held our family together. I miss her every day. I was given the opportunity to challenge myself to ride 50 miles in the “Tour de Cure” for the American Diabetes Association on Saturday, June 6, 2015 in Mandeville, LA, in her memory. Chances are you also know someone who has been affected by diabetes and you already know how important it is to stop this disease.
The power we have together far outweighs what I can do alone! With the continued support of A&K Railroad Material, Inc. and so many great friends and family, I reached my goal by raising over $1000, which will help the American Diabetes Association provide community-based education programs, protect the rights of people with diabetes and fund critical research for a cure.
Thank you! Katrina

HEALTHY QUICK TIP: Use frozen frequently. Vegetables, fruit, fish, and chicken breasts are all great options. The key here is to buy frozen foods without added sugar, fat, or salt. For example, if you are buying frozen broccoli, the only thing on the ingredient list should be broccoli.
FAST FOOD MENU OPTIONS: Pick up a Rotisserie chicken and remove the skin. You now have a lean protein already cooked and seasoned. Add to salads or make a healthy whole grain chicken sandwich.
We are looking forward to receiving your feedback and ideas for upcoming issues. Please submit to Katrina Gougis. Be happy and healthy, - A&K Wellness Committee

Lower Your Stress
Employees from Corporate Headquarters participated in The Corporate Cup 5K, an annual corporate walk/run event that was held in Salt Lake City on June 13th. The 5K started and ended at Rice-Eccles Stadium on the University of Utah campus. Typically runs begin early in the morning but this unique team event starts at 7 p.m. and ends with music, food, awards, prizes and good times! Teams gather together to show company pride, build camaraderie and engage in a little friendly competition. The 5K also was timed perfectly with A&K’s Physical Activity Wellness Challenge.
Laci Norton, daughter of Cheryl and Les Norton, graduated June 4, 2015 from Bingham High School in South Jordan, Utah. Laci will be attending Utah State University in Logan, Utah to pursue a degree in Audiology.
Nice weather means BBQ time at Corporate Headquarters. The first of the season was held on June 4th and was hosted by our Sales department – as pictured Jenya Stroh, Shantell Higbee, Jeff Long, Jordan Hopkin with daughter Ella and Brooke Braga. They grilled brats and prepared a wonderful variety of salads and desserts. This summer employees spouses, significant others, kids, grandkids have been invited to attend the BBQs.
I received my Bachelor’s degree from the University of Utah in Computer Information Systems and have worked in technology fields for the last 9 years. I have a background in Technical Support, Software Quality Assurance, Desktop Support, and Server Administration. With experience in small companies and large corporations alike, I understand the various aspects of business and how they have to work together to succeed.
I am originally from the Salt Lake Valley and grew up in the Sandy/Draper area. I am married to the most amazing woman in the world, she is my best friend, and I love spending my time with her and our family. My wife Mindy and I have two boys, Kayden and Kamdyn. They are full of energy and keep me busy all the time, while also providing plenty of laughs. We love spending time together and getting out and being active. Family is my greatest passion and where I find my peace. We have three dogs, a Chocolate Lab, English Bulldog, and a Miniature Aussie. I love sports, mostly football, wrestling and baseball. I coached football and wrestling at Alta High School for 6 years. I like motorcycles, recreational shooting, working out and having fun!

Too much stress can make you irritable and depressed. It also can increase your heart rate and raise your blood pressure. What can you do?
• Practice viewing problems as opportunities.• Try to focus on the good, not the bad.• Learn to accept things you cannot change.• Take time out to relax; step into another area, close your eyes, and take deep breaths.• Ask for support; do not keep frustrations bottled up.
