Free Home Safety Surveys This confidential one-hour survey is conducted by a fire and life safety educator, who will go through the home with the resident and point out common household hazards, giving tips to solve problems, checking smoke alarms and offering crime prevention tips.
Keep combustibles three feet from any heat source: Look around the furnace, water heater, dryer, stove, oven, candles, fireplaces and space heaters to ensure nothing is close to these and any other heat sources. Always attend to cooking: Unattended cooking is the leading cause of home fires in the United States.
Juvenile Fire Setter Program This program is for children who have previously set fires or have an extreme interest in fire. It is free and is designed to give children the tools they need to avoid dangerous fire setting.
Keep matches and lighters out of reach of children: Curiosity is the most common reason children set fires. Children want to know how fire looks and feels, what it can do and how it burns. They may also try to imitate adults by lighting candles, cigarettes and fireplaces.

Healthy Snacks Try some fun and refreshing snacks that the entire family can enjoy! FRUIT POPS: Homemade freezer pops are an easy, fun treat for kids to make. Mash up fruit like peaches, grapes, berries or watermelon and put them in paper cups, insert a popsicle stick, freeze overnight and enjoy! OOL AND CRISP: keep a variety of colorful veggies on hand that stay cool and crunchy C for a refreshing treat – baby carrots, cucumber slices, and celery sticks are just a few ideas. FRUIT SMOOTHIES: blend your favorite fresh fruits with fat-free or low-fat yogurt and ice for a refreshing drink or freeze and eat with a spoon like a frozen ice chill. MIX IT UP: make your own trail mix using your favorite unsalted, oil free nuts, seeds and dried fruits (just be sure to keep your servings to 1.5 ounces or 1/3 cup). JUST SLICE AND SERVE: summer months are peak season for most fruits, just slice and serve – the whole family will enjoy the refreshing natural sweetness and juices just the way nature made ‘em!

OFFICIAL BLAINE COMMUNITY RESOURCE & RESIDENTS’ GUIDE™
Stealth Health: Get Healthy Without Really Trying By Colette Bouchez, WebMD Feature Living healthier doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming, experts say. How much do you know about what makes up a healthy lifestyle? Here’s a pop quiz. 1. How do you define working out? a. Going to the gym. b. Turning the jump-rope for the neighbor’s kid. c. Playing Frisbee with your dog. 2. How do you define good nutrition? a. E ating a vegetable at every meal. b. Eating two vegetables at every meal. c. D rinking a fruit smoothie for breakfast. 3. Which of these is a healthy activity? a. Push-ups, sit-ups, or running the track. b. Walking the dog after dinner. c. Spending Saturday afternoon snoozing on the sofa. Believe it or not, the correct answer to every question is A, B, and C – even that Saturday afternoon snooze! According to the growing “Stealth Health” movement, sneaking healthy habits into our daily living is easier than we think. “You can infuse your life with the power of prevention incrementally and fairly painlessly, and yes, doing something, no matter how small, is infinitely better for you than doing nothing,” says David Katz, MD, MPH, director of Yale University’s Prevention Research Center and of the Yale Preventive Medicine Center. From your morning shower to the evening news, from your work commute to your household chores, Katz says, there are at least 2,400 ways to sneak healthy activities into daily living. “If you let yourself make small changes, they will add up to meaningful changes in the quality of your diet, your physical activity pattern, your capacity to deal with stress, and in your sleep quality – and those four things comprise an enormously powerful health promotion that can change your life,” says Katz. And yes, he says, a nap on the couch can be a health-giving opportunity – particularly if you aren’t getting enough sleep at night.
