By Betsy Denson betsy@theleadernews.com Appropriately enough for back to school time, August is National Immunization Awareness Month, and the Center for Disease Control has rolled out a big campaign to emphasize the importance of timely vaccinations. More than 28,000 cases of whooping cough were reported in the United States in 2014. From 2000 through 2014, there were 277 deaths from whooping cough reported in the United States. Almost all of the deaths were babies younger than 3 months of age, who are too young to get the shots. In 2014, the United States experienced the highest number of measles cases since it was eliminated from the U.S. in 2000. In 2014, there were 23 outbreaks affecting 668 people from 27 states. This year, measles continued to affect the U.S. with over 160 cases reported as of May 1, 2015. The CDC stresses the importance staying on track with the immunization schedule – http:// www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/index.html – to ensure that children have the best protection against diseases like whooping cough and measles by age 2. For parents who are concerned about the number of shots given at one time to their child, they can reduce the number given at a visit by using the flexibility built into the CDC’s recommended immunization schedule. For instance, the CDC says that the third dose of hepatitis B vaccine can be given at 6 through 18 months of age and parents can work with their child’s doctor to get the dose at any time during that age range.
The Houston Independent School District lists their Immunization Requirements at http://www. houstonisd.org/Page/32245. Exclusions from compliance are permitted on an individual basis for medical reasons – they would be medically harmful or injurious to the health and well-being of the child – or for reasons of conscience. Those claiming an exemption for reasons of conscience, including a religious belief, need a signed and notarized original affidavit from the Texas Department of State Health Services. The affidavit is valid for two years. Schools and child care facilities are required to maintain an up to date list of students with exemptions, so that they may be excluded from schools in times of emergency or epidemic declared by the commissioner of health. It’s a little ironic that by the time kids are old enough to be brave for their shots - between ages 6 and 11, they get a break from the schedule, excluding the recommended flu shot. For the little ones, Leader readers gave some tips about making it a more pleasant experience. “When my kids were little and were still nursing I would nurse right after to comfort and that helped calm them down a bunch,� said Nicole Aboudaher. “Now with my 4 year old, it’s all about bribes. Lollipops galore.� “Assuring [my 4-year-old] it would only pinch for a second definitely helped,� said Angel Viator Smith. “They react to how you act. Don’t be fearful for them and they’ll do better.� And Julie Wild recommends an ice pack on the location about ten minutes before hand. For more information, visit https://www. nphic.org.

YMCA to hold back-to school backpack drive for local kids For The Leader
IN ELIMINATING
JOINT
PAIN
Keeping kids healthy, happy throughout the school year For The Leader Students are most likely to get sick when school starts because being at school puts children’s immune systems to the test, offers The Mayo Clinic. Young children who are in close proximity to others in large groups tend to spread organisms like bacteria and viruses that cause illness. Breaking the cycle can take some work, but it’s possible to make this a healthy school year. Encourage handwashing Frequent handwashing is a great way to prevent illness. Handwashing habits are essential for school-aged children and should be taught as soon as possible. Children should wash their hands after they use the bathroom and before they eat. If they’ve been playing outside or have interacted with children who are sick, handwashing can help remove some of the germs lingering on their hands. Antibacterial wipes are another option, but they may not be as effective as washing hands with warm, soapy water.
• The Harriet and Joe Foster Family YMCA collected school supplies for over 200 students To Donate To support Operation Backpack, drop off a backpack filled with school supplies at Harriet and Joe Foster Family YMCA, participating HE-B or other community locations from July 15 to August 9. Donations can also be made online at YMCAOperationBackpack.org or through at the register when you check-out at your local H-E-B. A list of recommended school supplies is also available online. To Receive Supplies Families who would like to receive supplies through the drive should email ymcaoperationbackpack@ymcahouston.org.
Stop (some) sharing Sharing develops good manners and can foster new friendships. But children should be discouraged from sharing food, drinks and other personal items. Once the item has been placed in a child’s mouth, it should not be shared. Take a sick day Rare is the student who will never come down with an illness. When kids get sick, keep them at home. Schools may have guidelines indicating when it is acceptable for children to return to school, and it’s important that parents adhere to those guidelines so illnesses cannot spread around the school. Promote adequate sleep and nutrition While adults may need between seven and nine hours of sleep a night, children often require more. The National Sleep Foundation recommends eight to 13 hours of sleep a night for school-aged children. Begin adjusting sleep schedules during the latter part of summer vacation so that children can readjust to their regular sleep schedules. Parents also should feed kids nutritious diets consisting of a variety of foods. Avoid high-calorie junk foods, reserving such items only as special treats every so often.

TAKE THE FIRST STEP
As summer vacation winds down, thoughts turn from jaunts to the beach to readying for a new school year. To-do lists include many of the typical tasks that precede going back to the classroom, including shopping for new clothes, purchasing school supplies and finishing summer reading assignments. Another essential requirement parents must find time for is completing their children’s health screenings and immunizations so youngsters can return to school. Health screenings may include, but may not be limited to, routine physical exams, eye exams and dental cleanings. Each school district may have its own set of health requirements that must be met in order for children to attend school. Many schools require that children are up-to-date with all immunizations before they can begin a new school year. While the issue of vaccinations has inspired debate in recent years, parents should recognize that many schools will only exempt students from receiving certain vaccinations due to religious reasons. For a list of state vaccination requirements and possible exemptions for schools in the United States, visit www2a.cdc. gov/nip/schoolsurv/schImmRqmt.asp. Students who have specific learning disabilities or medical conditions that require classroom modification should obtain recent documentation from any therapists or specialists prior to beginning a new school year. Doing so facilitates the process of setting up procedures within the school while ensuring children have what they need to excel in the classroom. All parents may want to ask doctors to provide copies of medical and immunization records so that schools will have the most recent copies on file. Parents should schedule eye examinations well in advance of the first day of school so they have ample time to fill new prescriptions for youngsters before school begins. This ensures kids won’t be starting off on the wrong foot because of vision problems that could already have been addressed. Parents of adolescents or students on the verge of adolescence may want to address the subject of bodily changes before the school year begins anew. Address which changes can be expected, including the start of menstruation for girls. This will help children better understand what is happening when they witness changes in themselves and fellow classmates and give them a chance to receive accurate information rather than gossip from their peers. Keep in mind that health screenings conducted in advance of the school year may not preclude students from school-sponsored screenings. Schools may offer their own vision and hearing screenings and may take physical measurements to ensure students are growing on schedules in line with normal development.

With the end of summer just around the corner, YMCA Operation Backpack, Houston’s largest back-to-school supply drive has begun. The drive runs July 15 through August 9. This year the YMCA of Greater Houston has set a goal collect 100,000 backpacks to help children and families in the Houston area who otherwise could not afford new school supplies. Many families face the daunting expense of purchasing school supplies for their kids at the end of summer; a price tag of up to $200 per child. In Harris County, more than 25% of children 17 and under live below the poverty line (KIDS COUNT Data Center, 2009-2013) making the purchase of new supplies unattainable. The Harriet and Joe Foster Family YMCA is collecting 200 backpacks to serve to our community. “Many parents face the heartbreaking reality that they simply cannot afford the supplies their kids need to start the school year,� said Rosemary Lengefeld, Foster Family YMCA Community Executive Director. “Providing a child with the tools they need to succeed in the classroom can be a life-changing experience. The YMCA is proud to advance academic achievement and serve those families so children start the school year on a positive note.� Operation Backpack has grown to one of the largest back-to-school events in Texas. Some highlights from last year’s campaign include:

Lutheran High North welcomes new head of school for 2014-15
TAKE THE FIRST STEP
Contact a
By Jonathan Garris jgarris@theleadernews.com
IN ELIMINATING
Memorial Hermann
Dana Gerard has become well-versed with the ebb and flow of students and teachers at Lutheran North High School on West 34th Street. Now, after nearly 30 years at the school teaching history and physical education among other responsibilities, Gerard will be taking over at Head of School for the upcoming school year. Gerard said he had talked a little bit about the vacant position when the opportunity presented itself following the departure of Dallas Lusk. Lusk left to take up a position with Saint Mark Lutheran School in the Spring Branch area, where his children currently attend. “Although I had talked about it, I did not expect to be made head of school,” Gerard said, adding that he felt honored by the appointment. With a masters degree in social studies education from the University of Houston and a bachelors of science in physical education and history, Gerard is well-qualified for the position. Right now, part of his focus will be on getting the school’s name and its accomplishments out in the community more. “We’ve had Nate Robbins beginning to really develop our athletic programs and we’re going to start to see a lot of success on that front,” Gerard said. “We have a lot of young athletes in every one of our sports, it’s just a matter

of getting out into the community making people aware of who we are and what we have to offer.” Gerard called the school’s curriculum “top-notch” and the school is looking to grow its STEM classes. Another part of growing the school’s community will be reaching out to those in the Lutheran community across the region. “We’d love to start reaching out to Lutheran schools in the area and getting them to be a part of our competitions like our Friday night football games,” Gerard said. Lusk said he was given “too good of an opportunity” to serve at St. Mark Lutheran School, which is also a feeder school for LHN. “I’ve known [Gerard] for a long time and he is very well respected among the families at our school,” Lusk said. “He and I both have similar visions and I’m excited to bring my vision to St. Mark.”

US 290 Public Meeting Notice Revised 7/22/15
STORAGE FACILITY MAINTENANCE PERSON: We are seeking a maintenance person for a self storage facility. Job duties: general building maintenance and upkeep. Customer trailer delivery. Full-time. Good pay. Employee benefits available. Must have valid driver’s license. Fax resume, 713-960-1400. (8-8)
Notice of Public Meeting, US 290 Corridor, Harris County The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) will hold public meetings regarding the proposed revised interim configuration for the US 290 corridor in Harris County, Texas. The meetings will be held in two locations, with each meeting presenting the same information: Tuesday, September 1, 2015, Berry Center, 8877 Barker Cypress Road, Cypress, TX 77433; and Thursday, September 3, 2015, Sheraton Brookhollow, 3000 North Loop West, Houston, TX 77092. The meetings will be held in an open house format from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The purpose of the public meetings is to present the proposed revised lane configuration for the initial construction phase of the US 290 corridor reconstruction. Changes in how the reconstructed corridor will be configured/designed during the initial operations of the facility are necessary due to changes in the funding and operational agreements between TxDOT and Harris County. The revised design replaces the three reversible managed lanes that were to be operated by Harris County and the four inbound and outbound general-purpose lanes. The proposed design now includes one additional general-purpose lane in each direction from I-610 to SH 6, with a one-lane reversible High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane in the center of US 290 from I-610 to SH 99 (Grand Parkway). This lane configuration would allow TxDOT and its operating partner, the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County, to meet current highway design and safety standards, optimize the available capacity, and maintain access for carpoolers and transit on an HOV lane until the proposed Hempstead Tollway portion of the ultimate US 290 corridor project can be constructed. Exhibits showing aerial photography and schematic plans for the proposed project will be available for review at the public meetings and at www.my290.com. This information will also be available by appointment for review Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., excluding city and state holidays. To schedule an appointment at the US 290 Program Management Consultant office, Brookhollow Central III, 2950 North Loop West, Suite 1150, Houston, TX 77092, contact Mike Zientek, (713) 354-1556. All interested persons are invited to attend the public meetings. Written comments about this project may be submitted at the meeting. Written comments may also be submitted in person at the Houston District Office, 7600 Washington Avenue, Houston, TX 77007, mailed to the Director of Project Development, TxDOT Houston District, P.O. Box 1386, Houston, TX 77251-1386, or emailed to HOU-PIOWebMail@txdot.gov. Comments must be postmarked or emailed on or before September 17, 2015. The public meetings will be conducted in English. Persons interested in attending the meetings who have special communication or accommodation needs, or need an interpreter, are encouraged to contact TxDOT’s Public Information Office at (713) 802-5076. Requests should be made at least two working days prior to the meetings. Every reasonable effort will be made to accommodate these needs. The environmental review, consultation, and other actions required by applicable Federal environmental laws for this project are being, or have been, carried-out by TxDOT pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327 and a Memorandum of Understanding dated December 16, 2014, and executed by the Federal Highway Administration and TxDOT.

Birthday with the bulls By Betsy Denson betsy@theleadernews.com Most people celebrating a milestone birthday wouldn’t choose to celebrate it running from the bulls in Pamplona, Spain, but then most people aren’t Frankie Cox. “I started going [to Pamplona] in 2009 as a spectator,” said Cox, a resident of the Heights. It was Cox’s sister and brother-in-law in Oak Forest, Brooke and Cody Persyn, who were originally the draw. Cody Persyn has run with the bulls almost every year for the last 15 after getting the bug from a semester abroad in college and “reading too much Hemingway.” “It’s a euphoric experience, like skydiving,” he said. When Cox started dating husband-to-be Kevin, she learned that a run with the bulls was on the agenda for his 30th birthday. Since that time, he’s run it about five times too. So when Cox turned 40, she wanted to join the club. “I knew what to expect going in because I had watched videos,” she said. “It’s the people you have to worry about because it’s so crowded. If you fall, you stay down.” The tradition, which started in the 19th century to honor San Fermin, patron saint of Navarra, takes place every year from July 6 to 14. The festivities involve the transport of six bulls and six steers from the corrals at the edge of the city into the bullring, where they will later fight. It just so happens that more than 20,000 people over the course of the eight days are running with the bulls - and away from them. Different breeds of bulls with different temperaments run on different days. The last death at the event was in 2009 when 27-year-old Spaniard Daniel Jimeno Romero was gored by a bull. Cox arrived at the corral in Calle Santo Domingo on the third day of the festival about 45 minutes before the bulls were released. Like other participants she wore all white with a red scarf around her waist and a red handkerchief around her neck. “It was a lot of hurry up and wait,” she said. Shortly before eight in the morning is when two rocket blasts signaled that the corral was opening. “It was like hearing your own heart beat in your own head,” said Cox. “It’s less than a minute, but feels longer. Your senses are heightened. The board starts shaking. Then the wind, the sound of the cow bells on the steers and mass chaos com-
ing past you. You can’t help but run fast, but you can’t run very fast because it’s not a big street and because of all the people. The bulls pass you while you are running.” Kevin Cox ran next to his wife to provide a protective buffer and sister Brooke Persyn was sweating bullets watching it all transpire from a friend’s balcony. All went according to plan, which meant that the bulls went to the arena and the Americans went to Bar Txoko on the main square to celebrate with a cognac and vanilla drink which Cox calls the “rodeo equivalent of milk punch.” When asked if she would do it again, Cox was non-committal. Brooke Persyn was more definitive, saying her sister was done. Cody Persyn will continue the tradition for the family. “While I love the run, I love the fiesta more,” he said. “It’s all encompassing, with young and old, rich and poor, 24 hours a day there’s something for everyone.”

Anemia is a common condition in cats where there are not enough
red blood cells to carry oxygen. Cats are excellent at hiding anemia. You should observe for, but may not detect lethargy, pale color, or rapid breathing. By the time critical blood levels are depleted, it may be too late. A simple routine and inexpensive blood test (the PCV) can detect anemia quickly. Red cell blood loss occurs due to: 1. Parasites - Such as fleas & hook worms. 2. Hemobartenella - A hidden blood cell parasite in cats. 3. Hemorrhage due to trauma or internal bleeding. 4. Infectious disease such as Feline Leukemia or Feline AIDS virus. 5. Immune mediated diseases. 6. Iron & nutritutional deficiencies. 7. Chronic disease as cats age such as kidney degeneration or cancer. Most of these conditions are treatable & the anemia is reversible and regenerative. We recommend this test as part of your cats routine wellness exam. If you don’t test you don’t know.
