Free PSA prostate cancer and bladder cancer screenings will be offered this fall at Upper Valley Medical Center ’s Cancer Care Center, 3130 N Co Rd 25 A, Troy The two part screen ings will be held October 31 November 7 and November 1 8

“Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men A PSA blood test is a very effective tool to screen for it and takes only a few minutes,” said Sarah Jones, nurse manager for cancer care

“Bladder cancer risk increases with age and is rarely diag nosed in patients under 40 years of age Men are at least three times more likely than women to get bladder cancer,” Jones added

An appointment is required for the free screening and requires participants to have blood drawn one week in advance of an appointment with a urology provider to review personal cancer risk

Registration is limited Deadline is October 24 for the screen ing to be held October 31 November 7 and October 31 for the screening to be held November 1 8

1 BuS + 1 dRiveR = a BiG iMpact on education

GettinG Ready foR School

• have your children put everything they carry in a backpack or school bag so that they won’t drop things along the way

• encourage them to wear bright, contrasting colors so they will be more easily seen by drivers

• Make sure children leave home on time so they can arrive at the bus stop before it is due, ideally at least five minutes early Running after or in front of a bus is dangerous WalkinG to the BuS Stop Walk young children to the bus stop or encourage children to walk in groups there is safety in num bers; groups are easier for drivers to see

• practice good pedestrian behavior: walk on the side walk, and if there is no sidewalk stay out of the street if you must walk in the street, walk single file, face traffic and stay as close to the edge of the road as you can Stop and look left, right and then left again if you must cross the street do the same thing at drive ways and alleys exaggerate your head turns and nar rate your actions so your child knows you are looking left, right and left at the BuS Stop

• have children wait in a location where the driver can see them while driving down the street try to avoid waiting in a house or car

do not let children play in the street playing with balls or other toys that could roll into the street is also dangerous GettinG on and off the BuS

• Warn children that if they drop something getting on and off the bus, they should never pick it up instead, they should tell the driver and follow the driver ’s in structions

• Remind children to look to the right before they step off the bus

• if you meet your child at the bus stop after school, wait on the side where the child will be dropped off, not across the street children can be so excited to see you after school that they dash across the street and forget the safety rules

MoBile deviceS

cell phones and other electronic devices are often permitted on the school bus as long as:

• they are in backpacks or other holders, keeping hands free to use handrails while boarding and de parting the bus Sound is muted or headphones, ear buds or similar devices are used

• content does not violate the law or school district policy and procedures

• use does not create a distraction for the driver.
