Bradford Journal PhotoDuring the Les VanGorder Benefi t held at the Bradford American Legion Social Hall, April 2nd, Tracy VanGorder, Les’s wife, (3rd from the right) gets a photo with some of her friends who helped make the benefi t a great success. Left to right are Andy Wells, Bruce Housler, Darcy Rau, Tracy, Jack Hanson, and Ken Marsh. Tracy says she was overwhelmed and shocked by the numbers of friends, acquaintances and others who participated with their time and money to help them. While she has helped with ben-efi ts for others, she says she didn’t realize fully how the recipients of such help were feeling until this event was held for her family. She is grateful.

Tips And Tools To Make Chores Easier (NAPSI)—Whether your “to-do” list is getting you down or gearing you up for do-it-yourself fun, you want to be sure you have the right equipment to minimize the time, money and elbow grease you have to expend. Therefore, you should look for prod-ucts that can help make lawn care, gar-dening, home improvement and other DIY projects easier to accomplish. For example, instead of laboring to push an aerator around your lawn, consider a liquid dethatcher. You apply the de-thatcher using a sprayer on the end of the garden hose and the formula works to aerate soil and break up the layer of thatch that hinders grass growth. Renting tools or equipment you use occasionally can save you time and money. Many home improvement stores now offer a wide range of tools for rent, from bench saws and fl oor sanders to augers and overseeders. By renting, you avoid storage issues and maintenance chores. One piece of equipment a DIYer can use all year round is an off-road vehi-cle. By having it for heavy jobs, you can avoid the expense of hiring addi-tional workers for projects such as: • Removing dead branches and tow-ing out bushes and trees. With a winch on the front of the vehicle or a tow strap at the rear, you can pull out old brush

more easily. • Smoothing out fresh dirt with a plow. Raking by hand is messy and takes a lot of time. Instead, hook up a plow to your off-road vehicle and gen-tly smooth out the dirt. If the dirt is al-ready level, attach a pull-behind rake to the vehicle to get set for planting or seeding. • Carting lumber. You take fewer trips and save yourself from muscle aches and splinters. You can also re-duce the number of helpers you need for the project. • If you have a boat dock, use your off-road vehicle to tow it into the water. • Hauling rocks or mulch around. You may be able to get more done with a versatile Polaris RANGER side-by-side. These have a rear dump box so you can move and distribute materials in different garden beds or around all your trees. • Now for the best part: After all the hard work, take your vehicle out on the trail for a bit of fun. The two-passenger RANGER side-by-sides fi t into the bed of most full-sized pickups, making it easy for you and a companion to take a break from the work and hit the trails.

We stopped at a benefi t and a birth-day party last weekend, April 2nd, and garnered photos for this edition. The well-publicized Les VanGor-der benefi t was a great success. There were lots of people, lots of food, and great music (oldies, classic rock, coun-try rock and blues) with two hours of the 3 Guys Drinking Beer band and two hours of soloist Brian Chase. Fol-lowing that event we attended the 2nd year birthday party for Madelyn Es-chrich where we collected many more photos and videos, most of which are found in the photo gallery associated with this issue……..Just a reminder to our readers that Bradford Little Theatre will be performing Death and Taxes by Pat Cook, and directed by Charlotte Stock, April 15th and 16th at the Togi’s Playhouse, 18 Welch Ave, Bradford. (See the playbill on the last page of our virtual edition for more de-tails.)……. Before reading the Wiki quick history of Elizabeth Warren, we thought that an endorsement by her would help Bernie Sanders’ cause in getting elected. She is seen today as a committed progressive, but now we’re not so sure. Ambition is great but it oc-curs to us that she has not been care-ful about who she’s hurt along the way. It also occurs to us that her loyalties have been closely tied with opportuni-ties, even as her previous party was dis-mantling the Glass Steagall Act in the late 1990’s: It’s almost like she jumped ship at what will become a focal point in history. Maybe it would be better for us all, if she would support someone else……..On a more refreshing note, we will continue with more of Bernie Sanders’ great quotes: “Washing-ton is dominated by big money.” “For every $1 billion we invest in public transportation, we create 30,000 jobs, save thousands of dollars a year for each commuter, and dramatically cut greenhouse gas emissions.” “Look, if you have somebody who doesn’t have health insurance, who doesn’t have a doctor or dentist, and in order to deal with their cold or fl u or dental problem, they go to an emergency room – in gen-eral, that visit will cost ten times more than walking into a community health center.” “What the American people want to see in their president is some-body who not necessarily can win every fi ght, but they want to see him stand up and fi ght for what he believes, take his case to the American people.” These ideas are sensible and deserve our sup-port.

Bradford Journal PhotoThese young people were having a great time during the Les VanGorder Benefi t, April 2nd at the Bradford American Legion Social Hall. Bellied up to the table, only one hour into the event are (l-r) Mike Kelley, his brother Joe Kelley and Joe’s wife Rosita. Rosita tells us that this is an awesome event and that they have been friends with Tracy and Les VanGorder for fi fteen years. “If the shoe were on the other foot,” said Rosita, “They would be there, supporting us.”

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCESKeeping The Peace Between Adult Children In Estate Planning When you die, will your kids fi ght over your money? It’s an important question that might be hard to answer now, but parents who devote themselves to estate planning with relevant updates over their lifetimes can potentially keep arguments between adult children to a minimum.As of 2013, American retirees are the sixth most generous in the world when it comes to the amount of assets passed on to family, according to a survey by HSBC, the glob-al British bank. The latest survey (http://www.about.hsbc.com.au/news-and-me-dia) noted that 56 percent of American re-tirees planned to leave an inheritance with an average amount of $176,814. How you allocate your estate, no mat-ter what the amount, requires planning and proper communication. Here are a few ways to start. Know where you stand fi rst. If you haven’t updated your estate planning in the last 5-10 years, do so now to fully un-derstand your complete fi nancial picture. Like all personal fi nance issues, estate planning should be adjusted when sig-nifi cant life changes happen or there is a major shift in assets, such as when a rela-tive needs help. In short, your estate pic-ture has to refl ect current fi nancial reali-ties, so before you decide how to allocate your wealth either before or after you die, seek qualifi ed fi nancial, tax (https://www.irs.gov/Businesses/Small-Businesses-&-Self-Employed/Estate-and-Gift-Taxes) and estate advice. Once you’ve determined distribution, confi rm your plan. Managing money and family are usually parallel issues until the topic of estate planning arises. For some families, splitting money, property and possessions more or less equally among adult children is a smooth process. How-ever, when it doesn’t result in the fairest outcome for everyone involved, it can be trickier to navigate. Varying situations for each child might mean that an even split won’t work. Once you are able to deter-mine your assets, start thinking through how you can distribute them. Re-affi rm your executor and powers of attorney. Making a will and designat-ing various health, fi nancial and business powers of attorney as applicable are the standard fi rst steps in estate planning. Cer-tain kinds of trusts might also be relevant. Generally it’s good to have documents in place (http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/estateplanning) early in life. As your children get older, it’s a good idea to re-view those documents and designated leadership. Start communicating. Hollywood has produced many a movie scene with family

members sitting nervously in a lawyer’s offi ce waiting for the will to be read. Such moments make for great comedy or dra-ma, but not great modern estate planning. Based on what you hope to leave your family, the state of your relationship with your adult children and whatever weigh-in you get from qualifi ed advisors, it’s usu-ally better to communicate your plans to

by - Nathaniel Sillinyour children in advance in person and make sure your legal documents confi rm exactly what you plan to do. Bottom line: Could your current estate planning eventually put your kids and oth-er family members at odds? Don’t wait – the time to update or start estate planning is right now.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDE

(NAPSI)—If you or someone you care about think you are among the nearly 7 million Americans who suffer from Rest-less Legs Syndrome (RLS), it may be time for you to talk to your doctor. The Problem For many people with moderate to severe symptoms, RLS is debilitating—disrupting sleep, infl uencing mood and negatively affecting everyday life. It af-fects both men and women, though the in-cidence is about twice as high in women, and can start at any age. The condition causes an irresistible urge to move the legs. This urge is usually caused or accompanied by unpleasant sen-sations of burning, creeping, tugging or tingling inside the patient’s legs, ranging in severity from uncomfortable to painful. Symptoms typically begin or worsen dur-ing rest or inactivity, particularly when ly-ing down or sitting, and may be temporar-ily relieved by movement, such as walking or massaging the legs. Symptoms often worsen at night, and disturbed sleep is a common result. Left untreated, this can cause exhaustion, day-time fatigue, inability to concentrate and impaired memory. What’s more, people who experience RLS symptoms may inappropriately at-tribute their diffi culty falling or staying asleep to insomnia or other sleep disor-ders. Others think they won’t be taken se-riously, that their symptoms aren’t severe enough, or that the condition simply isn’t treatable. In fact, while there is currently no cure, symptoms can be treated with prescription medications. Unfortunately, because people are not discussing the un-derlying cause of their sleeping problems with their doctors, they can be misdiag-nosed. An Answer Now, this common, treatable neuro-logic disorder is the focus of a social me-dia campaign: #StopMakingExcuses, de-signed to raise awareness about the impact of RLS on sleep. “Sleep disturbances can be very detrimental to a person’s produc-tivity as well as have a negative impact on his or her overall quality of life,” said Robin Goldstein, Ed. D, Licensed Psy-chologist. “More than four out of fi ve peo-ple living with RLS and over one-third of their partners report that a restful night’s sleep is an area most affected by RLS. It’s time for them to stop making excuses for their symptoms and see a doctor for help.” Through this social media campaign, XenoPort, Inc. wants to educate Ameri-cans about RLS and encourage sufferers to talk with their doctors about their symp-toms. “Approximately 75 percent of people

AICR HealthTalk-by Karen Collins, MS, RD, CDN

American Institute for Cancer Research Q: I’m well over 65, do I need to be doing strength-type training exercises? A: Muscle-strengthening exercise is important for everyone of all ages, and it’s def-initely important for older adults. Strength training exercises play a big role in main-taining or rebuilding the muscle you need to carry out daily living activities and get around to participate in activities you enjoy. Loss of muscle is a common problem in older adults and a well-rounded exercise plan can help. Both aerobic exercise like walking and weight bearing exercise with resistance training can benefi t bone den-sity, help combat osteoporosis, and improve balance. US government physical activity guidelines emphasize that all adults, including those over age 65, should do muscle-strengthening activities (such as lifting weights or using resistance bands) that involve all major muscle groups on two or more days a week. The six major muscle groups are chest, shoulders, arms, back, abdomen and legs. Of course, strength-building exercise must be appropriate for each individual, and older adults who have not done this type of exercise before or who are recovering from reduced activity during an illness need to be cautious not to overdo or choose types or movements that lead to injury. Begin and progress with strength-training exercises at a level appropriate for your health and fi tness. Allow one or two days between exercise sessions for any particular muscle group. To help you get started, experts at the Centers for Disease Control and Preven-tion (CDC) and Tufts University have developed a strength-training program for adults called Growing Stronger. You can follow this program on the interactive website (it includes animations for how to do the exercises) or download or order a booklet. For people of any age who have some sort of orthopedic or heart-related health issue, it’s important to discuss what kinds of strength-training you should do with your physi-cian.

Restless Legs Syndrome: What You Should Know

who experience symptoms consistent with RLS have not seen a doctor about their discomfort and sleep disturbances,” said Richard K. Kim, M.D. “#StopMaking-Excuses is intended to raise awareness of RLS and is designed to generate a call to action encouraging people experiencing symptoms to prioritize a healthier night’s

sleep by talking to a medical profession-al.” Learn More: You can join the RLS conversation on Facebook or Twitter us-ing the #StopMakingExcuses hashtag. For further information about RLS, visit :

Last-minute Tips to Ease Tax Season for Small Business Owners (NAPSI)—Tax season can be stress-ful for small business owners. Not only do you have to pull together all of your company and employee tax informa-tion, but you have the added stress of ensuring that sensitive data doesn’t fall into the wrong hands. With tax refund fraud hitting both individuals and companies across the United States to the tune of $21 billion this year, according to the IRS, it’s clear that small business owners need to take precautions to protect their information this season. Here are a few tips to help you get through tax season in one piece. Beware of Phishing Attempts Tax season is a vulnerable time for

all business owners. Criminals know deadlines are looming, and they are targeting unsuspecting business own-ers through the use of phishing attacks. Never click on links in emails you don’t trust or send out information without verifying who is requesting it. Instead, give the person or business requesting information a call to check in. Use Strong Passwords The two most common passwords are “123456” and “password,” accord-ing to SplashData. To ensure security when logging into an online accounting service, pick a more challenging pass-word that will be diffi cult for hackers to guess. Avoid using easily guessable passwords, such as children’s names

or birthdates. Instead, include a mix of both lowercase and capital letters, along with numbers and symbols. Secure Emails to Tax Profession-als It’s convenient to send and receive documents over email, but that doesn’t mean email is secure. Emails and at-tachments sent over unsecure email are as easily read by hackers as a postcard traveling through the postal system. To prevent criminals from accessing private information that needs to be shared, consider an email encryption solution. Many options are easy to use and mobile-friendly. In two or less steps, you can securely exchange sen-sitive information to tax professionals, customers and business partners. “There’s enough to worry about come tax time without business own-ers also having to stress about the po-tential for fraud,” said David Wagner, CEO of email data protection provider ZixCorp. “With a bit of vigilance and the right encryption strategies in place, small business owners can take on tax season with peace of mind that their private information is safe.” For more details on email encryp-tion, visit www.ZixCorp.com

Five Tips For A Well-Stocked Pantry (NAPSI)—A well-stocked pantry is your answer when there is no food in the fridge, if guests show up unannounced and on days when the weather just isn’t cooperating. It arms you with the ingredi-ents you need to throw together a meal fi t for a king. Here are fi ve quick tips for assembling your well-stocked pantry: Dried Herbs & Spices A selection of your favorite herbs and spices is a must. Consider buying them from the bulk section of the supermarket or natural foods store so you can get just the right amount. Store them in matching jars with homemade labels if you’re so in-clined. Oil & Vinegar Oil and vinegar are essential. Olive oil is delicious for salad dressings. Saffl ow-er oil, which is neutral in fl avor, is good for everyday cooking. And then of course there is coconut oil with its multitude of health benefi ts. As for vinegars, they go far beyond being the key ingredient to your basic vinaigrette; they are ideal for marinades, quick pickling and even clean-ing. Red wine, balsamic and white vinegar are all worthy additions to your pantry. Pasta & Grains Long, short, large or tiny pasta, a few boxes will keep you covered whether you’re making a full-on spaghetti din-ner or tossing a few handfuls into your favorite chicken or vegetable soup. And don’t forget to stock up on grains includ-ing rice, quinoa, polenta, farro and barley. Nuts & Seeds Healthy and tasty, nuts and seeds add texture and crunch when sprinkled on sal-ads, yogurt, and hot and cold cereal. It’s a good idea to keep a variety on hand-wal-nuts and pine nuts are delicious in pesto, sunfl ower and pumpkin seeds are great in a homemade trail mix. And who doesn’t love a handful of pistachios or cashews, especially to stave off hunger? Jarred & Canned Goods Olives, capers, peppers, pickles, tuna, anchovies, beans, chicken broth and to-matoes add fun and fl avor to every meal. Your pantry isn’t complete without an am-ple stash of jarred and canned goods. Following is a recipe using primarily ingredients found in your well-stocked pantry.

The Perfect Pantry Pasta: Pasta Puttanesca

Ingredients You’ll Need:¼ cup olive oil1 onion, cut into ½-inch dice4 cloves garlic, smashedPinch red pepper fl akes, plus more for serving4 anchovy fi llets, chopped (optional)½ cup dry white wine1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes10 ounces spaghetti, linguini, fettuccine or other favorite pasta¾ cup halved Lindsay® Naturals Kalama-ta Olives

2 tablespoons drained Lindsay® Capers2 tablespoons chopped fresh oreganoSalt and black pepper, to tasteGrated or shredded Parmesan cheese, for serving

Cooking Directions: In large skillet over medium heat, warm olive oil. Add onion, garlic, red pepper fl akes and anchovies, if using; cook, stir-ring occasionally, until onion is tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in wine and increase heat to high; cook until reduced to thin layer

in skillet, 2 to 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, bring to a boil, and reduce to a simmer; cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is slightly thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions. Add olives, capers, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste to tomato sauce. Drain pasta and add to skillet, tossing with sauce. Transfer to plates and serve, with cheese and additional red pepper fl akes on the side.

The first big step in becoming an organ donor is making the deci-sion to do so. but that decision alone doesn’t guarantee that your wishes will be followed. What many people don’t know is that the surviving family must give consent before organ and tissue recov-ery can take place. Without that consent, it simply won’t happen. Please don’t let a wonderful decision go to waste. Talk to your family.

What Kind Of TV Watcher Are You?

(NAPSI)—If you’re like most peo-ple, you simply cannot fi nd the time to stay current with all the great TV that’s available. Fortunately, there’s Wat-chathon Week, an annual TV binge-athon that gives Xfi nity TV customers free, unlimited access to the hottest shows from premium, cable and broad-cast networks on Xfi nity On Demand. With carte-blanche access to more than 250 series from April 18-24, there may be no better time to hunker down and catch up on all you’ve been missing. What’s more, most of this great pro-gramming will also be available on the go via the Xfi nity TV mobile app and website. Of course, not everyone watches the same sort of shows. Depending on what you like to see, here are a few to view: The One-Show Diehard: You have no intention of moving from the couch until you fi nish your se-ries from start to fi nish. Maybe you’ve heard co-workers gab about HBO’s “Game of Thrones” or you’ve heard good things about STARZ’s “Power” but never got around to watching. Or maybe you plan to use the week to watch every episode from every sea-son of FOX’s “The Simpsons.” That’s right—every single episode (nearly 600 of them!) from the series is yours for the bingeing during the week. Here’s your chance to settle in, fi re up your set-top box and let the episodes roll on Xfi nity On Demand. The One-Genre Fanatic: Is any and all reality TV your thing? If so, use the week to catch up on cur-rent seasons of NBC’s “The Voice,” Bravo’s “Real Housewives of Atlanta” and ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars.” If you prefer reality that broadens your horizons a bit more, you can check out every episode from every season of Discovery’s hits “Bering Sea Gold” and “Gold Rush.” Just looking for some good drama? During Watchathon Week, you can follow the infamous

New Books Spotlight Zany, Sometimes Lifesaving Antics Of Pets

(NAPSI)—Ask any pet owner and they’ll tell you there’s no such thing as a bad dog or cat. Sometimes they drive us crazy, but most of the time they make our lives better—and sometimes even save them. That’s the message of two, heartwarming new Chicken Soup for the Soul books that will appeal to every animal lover.

“Chicken Soup for the Soul: My Very Good, Very Bad Dog” and “Chick-en Soup for the Soul: My Very Good, Very Bad Cat” are now available every-where books are sold and each features 101 hilarious, touching and sometimes mind-boggling stories about all the very good, very bad and simply amaz-ing things done by ordinary pets.

Readers can read the “tails” of Spir-it, the pup who takes the yoga pose “downward dog” literally, and learns to steal the cucumber slices covering his mom’s eyes when she’s meditating, or King Murphy, the big Maine Coon who loves to play board games with a little girl and wear the jewelry he wins. More important, every pet lover will appreciate the message behind the books: promoting adoption from the nation’s overcrowded animal shelters. Every year, some 6 to 8 million pets are relinquished to shelters, and tragically, 3 to 4 million are euthanized. The stories chosen for the book from thousands of submissions are not only inspirational and fun, but many of them also feature adopted dogs and cats, including black dogs and cats, senior dogs and cats, and pit bulls, the pets most often left behind at shelters. To help make a difference, Chicken Soup for the Soul is donating royalties from these books to American Humane Association and its lifesaving work to protect America’s dogs, cats and mil-lions more animals. This effort is part of the company’s widespread support for animal shelters and pet adoption, in-cluding the donation of Chicken Soup for the Soul pet food and books to shel-ters across the country. “Chicken Soup for the Soul is proud to work with American Humane Asso-ciation to ensure more animals like the ones featured in our two new books are adopted out of our nation’s shelters and fi nd forever homes,” said Amy New-mark, Chicken Soup for the Soul’s pub-lisher and editor-in-chief, and writer of the new books. “Our dogs and cats are our best friends, and pet owners everywhere know the unbreakable bond that forms between them and their furry friends,” said American Humane Association President and CEO Dr. Robin Ganzert, who wrote the forewords for the books. “Thank you to the humane heroes at Chicken Soup for the Soul for all they continue to do to promote pet adoptions and the good work being done by the nation’s animal shelters. Pick up cop-ies of these books today and I guaran-tee you will laugh, cry and come away with an even greater appreciation for the amazing healing power of the hu-man-animal bond, the inextricable link between people, pets and the world we share.” “Chicken Soup for the Soul: My Very Good, Very Bad Dog” and “Chicken Soup for the Soul: My Very Good, Very Bad Cat” are now available in book-stores everywhere.

(NAPSI)—As people age, their bod-ies change—and so does their health care. People 65-years-old and older are prescribed medications more fre-quently than any other group and they often require multiple medications to manage several health conditions at the same time. Changes in how your body functions, however, can also increase the chances you’ll experience side ef-fects due to medication use. How can we identify and avoid cer-tain medications that may be associated with more risks than benefi ts? Fortu-nately, a set of updated resources from the American Geriatrics Society (AGS)

News For Older Adults & Caregivers: What You Need To Know About Potentially Inappropriate Medications

known as the AGS Beers Criteria are here to help. “The AGS Beers Criteria are lists of potentially inappropriate medications for older adults who are not receiving hospice or palliative care, terms describ-ing care for people who are chronically, seriously or terminally ill,” explains Dr. Todd P. Semla, a board certifi ed phar-macist and co-chair of the expert panel responsible for the 2015 AGS Beers Criteria update. To develop these lists, a panel of health care and pharmacy experts brought together by the AGS and led by Dr. Semla and Dr. Donna Fick, a board certifi ed gerontological clinical nurse specialist, reviewed more than 6,700 medical studies among more than 20,000 research articles published since the last AGS Beers Criteria up-date in 2012. Experts also released a list of potential alternative therapies for many medications included on the AGS Beers Criteria, recognizing that older adults and health care providers ben-efi t from expert guidance most when they also can identify alternative op-tions that may be safer and even more effective than potentially inappropriate medications. Among the more than 40 medications included on the 2015 AGS Beers Cri-teria, some—such as benzodiazepines (diazepam or Valium, for example), medications sometimes prescribed for anxiety or insomnia—are considered inappropriate for most older adults or for those with specifi c health concerns that can affect how different treatments work. Others are medications that should be used only with considerable caution because evidence suggests they could be harmful in certain situations. Proton-pump inhibitors (omeprazole or Prilosec, for example) sometimes giv-en to people for such conditions as acid refl ux or stomach ulcers may be worth avoiding because they can contribute to bone loss, fractures and serious gastro-intestinal bacterial infections. Additional lists added to the AGS

Beers Criteria in 2015 address medica-tions that should be avoided or given in different doses to people with poor kid-ney function, as well as specifi c medi-cations that should not be used together. Treatments for several conditions com-mon in older adults may be inappropri-ate when prescribed at the same time, for example, because they can increase risks for other health problems—from falls and fractures to trouble with blad-der control or medication toxicity (the term for a dangerous build-up of medi-cation in the body). “It’s very important to remember that potentially inappropriate medica-tions are just that—potentially inappro-priate,” notes Dr. Fick. “They should be considered carefully, but that doesn’t mean they’re ‘bad’ in all cases or for all people. In fact, your health care pro-viders are often in the best position to assess your medications, goals, prefer-ences and health conditions to individ-ualize what treatment options will work for you, so it’s important to begin any decision-making process with them fi rst,” she added. Three Key Points to Remember: • Never stop taking a medication without fi rst talking to your health care provider. Even if a medication you’re taking is on the AGS Beers Criteria, don’t stop taking it without discussing it with your health care provider fi rst. • Ask about side effects. If you’re experiencing any symptoms, ask your health care provider if your symptoms could be related to a medication you may be taking. Also ask if the symp-toms could be a sign of another prob-lem. Keep in mind that any symptom you may be experiencing may or may not be a side effect of one or more of your medications. • Use trusted sources for informa-tion. Look up the reasons a medication might be prescribed (also known as the treatment’s “indication”) and any po-tential side effects only on trusted, reli-able sources, such as MedLinePlus. The AGS’s Health in Aging Foun-dation has created a series of materials to help older adults and their caregiv-ers understand the AGS Beers Criteria. Health care providers can also use such tools to promote safe prescribing for older adults. Resources including a fact sheet on medications and older adults, a list of select medications to avoid, a medication diary and a breakdown of certain alternatives to potentially inap-propriate medications are all available, free, at HealthinAging.org

TELLING YOUR FAMILY DOES!

The first big step in becoming an organ donor is making the deci-sion to do so. but that decision alone doesn’t guarantee that your wishes will be followed. What many people don’t know is that the surviving family must give consent before organ and tissue recov-ery can take place. Without that consent, it simply won’t happen. Please don’t let a wonderful decision go to waste. Talk to your family.

Healthy Sleeping Tips For Young Children

(StatePoint) For babies and young chil-dren, high quality sleep is crucial for de-velopment and overall health. By adopt-ing good, safe sleep habits early, the entire family can get the rest needed to thrive. “I’ve heard it quoted that anyone who says they ‘sleep like a baby’ has never been a parent! Ask most parents and one of their top priorities is for both kids and parents to get more sleep,” says Dr. Deena Blanchard, a partner at Premier Pediatrics in NYC. However, any sleep children do get should be as safe as possible, as sleeping presents hazards just like any other activ-ity. With that in mind, Blanchard is offer-ing parents great tips for helping young ones sleep soundly and safely. • At around six to eight weeks of age, infants start to develop circadian rhythms. At this point, create a consistent routine before bedtime, such as dimming lights. Your baby will start to pick up on these habits as sleep cues. • For safety, the crib should be free of bumpers, blankets, pillows, wedges and stuffed animals. • Sleep safety evolves as your child de-velops, so consider developmental mile-stones. Once your little one rolls over, make sure that she is no longer swaddled. It’s always best to put your baby on her back to sleep, but once your baby rolls over, it’s not necessary to go into the room and fl ip her onto her back. Likewise, when your child starts to pull to stand, make sure the crib mattress is adjusted to the lowest level and there are no nearby items that she can pull into the crib. • Go green. Choose paint, furniture and a baby mattress for your child’s bedroom that are free of harmful chemicals. Read labels carefully. Conventional and even organic mattresses typically have water-proof covers that contain PVCs that chil-dren breathe in all night. However, a mat-tress made from fi bers woven to create air pockets offers maximum breathability. For example, the Newton Wovenaire Crib Mattress, does not emit chemicals, and is a safe option that does not compro-mise comfort. Its breathable design pre-vents overheating and in an independent scientifi c study, the mattress demonstrat-ed signifi cantly lower suffocation risk as compared to other crib mattresses. More information can be found at www.newton.rest • Children tend to make a mess. Keep bedding clean and avoid build-up of bac-teria or mold. Wash linens regularly and seek out a washable mattress. “One of the most important things I`ve learned as a parent is that there are many things you don’t have control over,” says Dr. Blanchard. “However, creating a safe and comfortable sleep space is something you can control, and doing so can help your whole family sleep more soundly.”
