Making Decisions Cheryl McCarty, Rayne’s Cultural Director Making decisions can be intimidating and time-consuming. And while there’s no easy way to just make them, the following tips can help you in that direction. · Mark out the parameters of the decision clearly: What choices do you have? Are there more than two? · Gather as much information as you can about each alternative. Talk to the appropriate people, solicit advice from friends and family and research by reading books and magazine or newspaper articles. • Get the experience that will help you make an informed decision. For example, if you’re trying to decide whether to become a doctor or not, first volunteer at a hospital or clinic.
ing your thinking. Recognize them for what they are. • Brainstorm alternatives. Can you combine the available alternatives into a compromise that maximizes the pros and minimizes the cons? Look for ways to have your cake and eat it too! • Put an end to collecting information about your decision. Avoid thinking that with just a little more time and information, you’ll be able to make the one perfect decision. Remember that no decision is perfect and that all choices are made in a condition of some uncertainty. • Recognize that you might learn things in hindsight that would have changed your decision had you known about them earlier. This thought is normal and should not be allowed to stall your decision making.
• Then make the decision!
• Jot down a list of pros and cons for each decision. Prioritize which considerations are very important to you and which are less so. • Recognize that there are no right reasons for making a particular decision. The fact that a particular path is important to you, regardless of what others think, legitimizes it. • Think honestly about any fears, motives or biases guid-
Remember to evaluate your decision from time to time – if you don’t like how things are progressing, try something else. And if all else fails, try going with your gut feeling. Avoid endless delays in making a decision for fear that you don’t know enough or will make the wrong choice. Most every decision we make can be corrected if we find we’re not happy. Making decisions is the most important step to moving forward on a path of choices and a positive outlook on life.

Tips for Avoiding Injury While Walking for Exercise Judd Gautreaux, Physical Therapist Alexandria, VA, June 9, 2005- Whether taking a leisurely weekend stroll or participating in one of the many charity Walk-a-thons, there are several preventative measures to take to avoid discomfort, pain and injury while walking, says the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA). APTA (www.apta.org) has just published a free walking brochure, “Walking for Exercise,” that includes a physical health checklist, information on purchasing proper footwear, how to take your pulse, safety tips and a walking log. Walking is the perfect low-impact exercise for developing and maintaining overall fitness. Europeans take an average of 8,000 steps a day, compared to Americans who lag far behind with only 3,000 steps a day. The benefits of a consistent walking program go far beyond increasing your fitness level, notes Schuemann, “Walking is associated with a reduced risk of heart attack and type 2 diabetes, as well as increased energy and muscle tone, stress reduction and weight control,” she says. Getting started is the most crucial aspect of any walking regimen, walkers 50 years and older, in particular, it is important to first review overall general physical health with a qualified physician before beginning any exercise

program. Pre-existing medical conditions, such as high-blood pressure or bone and joint aches, will negatively impact any exercise program--even walking--and need to be addressed before starting. Schuemann points out there are several factors involved to help make a walking exercise regimen successful: - Pace yourself. Start slow and easy, gradually building up to your pace and distance. You should be able to maintain a “conversational” pace - one that enables you to hold a normal conversation while walking without feeling winded. - Shoe Sense. Initially, purchase walking shoes at a professional shoe store, where a trained staff can fit your exact type of foot. For example, a high arch will require a shoe with more cushion; a flat foot will need more arch support. - Proper gait. Your own particular style of walking, or gait, determines the distribution of the stress to various parts of your legs and feet. If you are experiencing discomfort - particularly back pain, kneecap pain, legs cramps or a sore Achilles tendon - it may be the result of a gait problem and should be analyzed by a physical therapist. - Hydrate. As with all sports, hydration should be maintained - drink comfortably and don’t let thirst be your guide. Amounts vary depending on weathe and walking conditions; sipping 8-12 oz. of water every 30 minutes from a hydration pack or water bottle stored in a fanny pack is recommended.

‘Pet Talk’
Arthritis In Dogs
Chronic pain in dogs is generally caused by the degenerative changes found in osteoathritis. Many dogs will actually show some signs of this after a year of age. The condition is most common in larger breed dogs such as German shepards, labs, rottweilers, mastiffs and great danes. All breeds are susceptible to this condition. Osteoarthitis is relatively easy for pet owners to overlook as they often see changes in thir pet’s bahavior as “just getting old,” rather than as a pathological condition that can and should be treated. Old age itself is not a disease.
Managing arthitis in pets means just that -- we manage this disease and its symptoms, rather than cure it. Keeping your pet at a reasonable weight will help in managing arthitis. Consulting with your veterinarian about the

wide variety of options to treat the condition is important. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, cortisone based products, and natural supplements all play a role in controlling degenerative osteoarthitis. Many human-based medicines are unsafe for use in pets. Never use any of these products without being properly informed about them. Osteoarthritis can be controlled in most cases. Many animals are unfortunately euthanized when they don’t have to be. Your veterinarian should be able to set you up with a viable program for your pet.

PLACED FIRST AT SUMMER PROGRAM - Armstrong students who are members PLACED FIRST AT SUMMER PROGRAM - Armstrong students who are members of the school’s Education Talent Search Program celebrate with the first place trophy of the school’s Education Talent Search Program celebrate with the first place trophy they were awarded during the summer program. (Photo Submitted) they were awarded during the summer program. (Photo Submitted)
Armstrong awarded during Educational Talent Search Educational Talent Search is a federally funded program under the guidance of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. It is designed to encourage middle school students who qualify financially and will be first-generation college students to complete secondary training and enroll in a post-secondary educational program. Armstrong Middle School is one of 10 Acadiana schools to participate in the program. During the school year, students stay after school for homework help, tutoring, and other enrichment activities.
The summer program lasts six weeks for four hours a day. Teachers for this summer include Site Supervisor Jessica Offord, Theresa Simoneaux, and Claire Meche. Assisting the teachers are Rayne High student tutors Raven Woods, Sydney Edmond, and Jazzmin Evans. Students this summer studied the pillars of character including compassion, honesty, dependability, responsibility, and many others. Vocabulary, comprehension, mathematical skills, thinking skills, and creativity were stressed in all activities.
They read several articles based on these principles as well. Computer research was a large portion of their summer learning. This year, summer activities also included field trips during which everyone toured the UL campus and enjoyed a hibachi grill lunch. The final project designated by UL was to investigate a career that would interest each student. Each student selected a chosen profession, researched it thoroughly, and produced a written report including the education required, probable salary, and job
requirements. Then, the groups created a 3-D model called “Successville” which was a model of a city comprised of their future businesses. The model included a hospital, a court house, a television studio, a veterinarian clinic, a football field, and even a construction site. The students’ pictures where then imposed onto a model of an adult performing their future job. On Thursday, July 14, UL sponsored a final field trip to Galveston, Texas, for all Talent Search students and teachers. Dur-
ing this trip, everyone enjoyed the ferry ride, visiting Moody Gardens, a paddle boat ride, and the Imax Theater. It was announced during the trip that Armstrong place first in the “Future Dreams” project for their final product entitled “Welcome to Successville.” This is Armstrong’s second consecutive first-place award. Any Armstrong student who is interested in joining ETS can speak to either Mrs. Offord or Mrs. Simoneaux when school resumes in August.
