=Health News: Retirement Paradise= (Scripts - Main Page)

GNN Health News reporter, Kim Getty, followed several Georgian retirees to find out if they too were experiencing such rejuvenation.
 * News Anchor:** Today in Health News, a Health Canada report suggests that people tend to look years younger shortly after retirement.


 * Location:** Beautiful spa like atmosphere with pool or hot tub (Camera close up with massaging hands in b/g)
 * Kim:** Retired VP Cheryl Simpson, we're told that retirees are looking years younger within months of retirement. How would you explain this?
 * Cheryl:** Well, I'm not sure. I suspect the elimination of meetings in my life has a lot to do with that. (To massage therapist)...That's good... a little more on the neck?)


 * Kim:** Retired Union Local President Dave Duncan, any thoughts to add?
 * Dave:** (Head comes out of the pool) Leaving behind the the stress of negotiations, grievances, and student appeals has helped me to relax but I really miss the thrill of the picket lines. (Asks for robe)


 * Kim:** Retired Research and Stats faculty and proram coordinator Rob Wong
 * Rob:** (Removing cucumbers from eyes to speak) For me, it's the freedom from marking on weekends that has added years to my life. If my stats are correct, then 25 years X 8 hours per weekend equals, let's see [does calculation on Blackberry] = 25 X 52 X 8 = 10400 hours of marking / 12 hours as a day = 866 days gained, just by eliminating marking. That's 3 years right there. Hmm.

[Bob Kennedy appears - feeds Cheryl some grapes. She thanks him and he says...
 * Cheryl:** Come to think of it, I think the fact that I'm eating better and taking time regularly to put my feet up.


 * Bob:** "You're welcome. It's all part of my expanded position as the VP of recruitment, retention and rejuvenation. Oh, gotta get going...the Board of Governors will be here in 20 minutes."


 * Kim:** Reporting for GNN...Kim Getty.

Hosts tagline...Based on this report, GNN has recommended to VP Brandon Lander that the number of meetings be reduced by one third, that the union conduct an inquiry into how to reduce the number of years faculty lose from marking, and that teaching faculty have regular access to the services of the aesthetician program at Georgian.
