Summer school for Head Start preschoolers

Thanks to a federally funded grant, students at the Superior Head Start have been getting some extra schooling this summer. The students have been busy using sand and water play outdoor activities, weather permitting, of course. The children created salt dough handprints, celebrated Flag

Day with a presentation giving by the Superior VFW and, most recently, participated in a Summer Fun Day. On Monday, the students participated in a walking field trip to the Superior Public Library to see Arizona Rick the Balloon Cowboy at the library’s summer reading program.

June 28, 2017

The final day for the students will be Wednesday, July 12. The children will receive a certificate during a celebration ceremony at 10:30 a.m. The Superior Head Start encourages the community and parents to volunteer. They can always use volunteers to read to the children.

Enjoying a watermelon break. Yum.

Arizona Rick the Balloon As a wrap-up to the summer reading program, the Superior Library played host to a master balloon twister, Arizona Rick the Balloon Cowboy on Monday. He didn’t disappoint as he made exotic hats, light sabers and so much more all out of the humble balloon. Arizona Rick has been making the fantastical balloon creations in Arizona for over 20 years. As an award-winning balloon twister and artist, he has enthralled audiences of all ages at many venues such as Resorts, Elementary Schools,

Grand Openings, countless private and corporate parties. Arizona Rick, the Balloon Cowboy, has been presenting the Great Grand Canyon Balloon Show at the Library Summer Reading Programs in Maricopa County and cities of Phoenix, Scottsdale, Glendale, Mesa, Yuma and others since 2009. The Balloon Cowboy also makes appearances at family friendly restaurants across the Valley. If the smiles on the children’s faces were any indication, a good time was definitely had by all.

Tips to protect health in extreme heat The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) reminds local residents about steps they should take to protect their health from the extreme heat. People suffering from heat stress may experience heavy sweating; weakness; cold, pale, and clammy skin; fast, weak pulse; and nausea or vomiting. Early signs include muscle cramps, heat rash, fainting or nearfainting spells, and a pulse or heart rate greater than 100. People suffering from heat stress should be moved to a cooler location to lie down. Apply cool, wet cloths to the body especially to head, neck, arm pits and upper legs near the groin area where combined 70 percent of body heat can be lost; and have the person sip water. They should remain in the cool location until recovered with a pulse heart rate is well under 100 beats per minute. Signs of the most severe heat-related illness, heat stroke, include a body temperature above 103 degrees Fahrenheit; hot, red, dry or moist skin; rapid and strong pulse; and altered mental status which can range from confusion and agitation to unconsciousness. Call 911 immediately and take steps to cool the person. While children are especially vulnerable to heat illnesses, they may be unable to explain what is wrong but may act differently than usual. In extreme heat, consider changes in a child’s behavior to be heat stress. Similarly, people with communication-related disabilities may have difficulty expressing a heatrelated problem. In extreme heat, look for a change in behavior as a sign of heat stress.

Older adults face additional risk of heat stress and heat stroke, for a variety of reasons. The National Institute on Aging’s fact sheet explains more about how extreme heat can affect seniors. To help prevent heatrelated illness: · Spend time in locations with air-conditioning when possible. · Drink plenty of fluids. Good choices are water and diluted sport electrolyte drinks (1 part sport drink to 2 parts water) unless told otherwise by a doctor. · Choose lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothing · Limit outdoor activity to morning and evening hours As air conditioning use increases, electrical grids can become overwhelmed causing power outages. In power outages, people who rely on electricity-dependent medical devices, like oxygen concentrators, may need assistance so check on

family members, friends and neighbors who use this type of equipment. Community organizations and businesses can help local emergency managers and health departments plan for the community’s health needs amid the summer heat – and other emergency situations that cause power outages – using the HHS emPOWER Map. The HHS emPOWER Map provides the monthly total number of Medicare beneficiaries’ claims for electricitydependent equipment at the national, state, territory, county, and zip code levels. For more information about how to prevent heat-related illnesses visit the HHS public health emergency preparedness website at http:// bit.ly/2rj7KDD. For information about how to better prepare for disasters and other emergencies, visit www.ready.gov. HHS’ mission is to enhance and protect the health and
