Drug Take Back Day Saturday in Fair Haven
Call the FreePress at 518-642-1234 to have your business included in the 2019 Lakes Region Summer Guide.
The 2017 National Survey on Drug Use and Health reports that six million Americans misused controlled prescription drugs that year. The study shows that a majority of abused prescription drugs were obtained from family and friends, often from
the home medicine cabinet. National Prescription Drug Take Back Day was set up to address this crucial public safety and public health issue, and local communities are taking part again this year. “The best thing to do with unused medications is to get
them out of medicine cabinets and keep them off the streets,” said Fair Haven Police Chief Bill Humphries. “Prescription drugs in the wrong hands can be dangerous,” he said.

Drugs Continued from front page That’s why the Fair Haven Police Department, the Granville Police Department and other agencies across the United States will participate in the drug take-back event scheduled for Saturday, April 27. Prescription drug abuse has grown in the region in recent years. Residents in the Washington County and the Lakes Region and beyond are urged to gather any unused or unneeded pills and turn them in to law enforcement officials. “Medications can be turned in anywhere,” said Granville patrol officer T.J. Zovistoski. “They don’t have to live in Granville.” Saturday’s collections are part of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s National Drug Take Back Day. The DEA will retrieve the drugs from agencies from around the country, weigh them and destroy them. Last year, Humphries said his office in Fair Haven collected 26 pounds of prescription, over-the-counter and pet medications on National Drug Take Back Day. Nationally, agencies collected and destroyed 914,236 pounds of drugs. Medications turned in range from high blood pressure pills to opioids. Drugs are

turned in when people are simply cleaning out their cupboards or when a family member passes on. Many leftover pills even result from a person feeling better. “It’s pretty common. People will get a prescription for something, start to feel better and only take 10 of 15 pills,” Humphries said. Fair Haven’s and Granville’s drug collection doesn’t stop with the National Take Back Day. There are collection boxes year-round at the Fair Haven station at 3 North Park Place and at Granville’s at 51 Quaker Street. “Granville will take back prescription medications every day,” said Zovistoski. Humphries said, “The National Take-back Day is really just a reminder.” Any law enforcement agency, he said, whether they have a public collection box or not, will collect unused meds and destroy them. Zovistoski emphasized the environmental benefits of

turning extra drugs in to authorities, too. “A lot of people flush them, which means they end up in our water and sewer systems,” he said. Any number of prescription pills can be dropped off, from a bottle to just a few pills. “We won’t take liquid medications or needles,” said Zovistoski, but officials will advise how to dispose of them properly. In addition to the Granville and Fair Haven police stations, drugs can be dropped off in Rutland County at Rutland Regional Medical Center, Rutland Pharmacy, Wilcox Pharmacy, Rutland County Sheriff ’s Office, Brandon Police Department, Castleton Police Department and at Diamond Run Mall.

Congratulations to Janet Marchinkoski ... our Patient of the Month! “I chose Vermont Sports Medicine Center because my physician recommended them and they are close to my home. My therapist, Jackie, and the staff are committed to helping me recover from my injury. They are so kind and considerate of my abilities and pain levels. They are very helpful and aware of what activities were needed to make progress in my recovery. They encouraged me every step of the way. I am very pleased with the progress I have made in a shorter period of time that I expected. I would highly recommend VSMC to anyone who needs physical therapy!”

Your library offers books and so much more By Jan Jones, director of Castleton Free Library We say this a lot: Your public library is so much more than books. Yes, we get really excited when those heavy cardboard boxes arrive loaded with new titles, but we are equally elated by new people walking through the door, offering to volunteer in one way or another, telling their stories and making connections. As we write this, Castleton University international student Irakli Iagorashvili is outside raking leaves to help us clean up the grounds. He’ll be presenting a short program on his home country of Georgia at the last installment of our brown bag lunch series at Castleton Free Library on Wednesday, May 1, at noon. Presenting with him will be Steffi Ramos from the Philippines. We are grateful to all of the Castleton students who have offered their
services to our community, and to the university for its partnerships, including providing us with a work-study student to help cover our circulation desk. The Adopt-an-Author program – launched by Friends of Castleton Free Library during National Library Week – was a great success. We’ll be ordering all of the new books at the end of April, so there are still a few days left to donate toward the purchase of a title by your favorite author. The Friends also are encouraging you to put on your work gloves and get outside on Green Up Day, Saturday, May 4, from 9 to 11 a.m., rain or shine, but not before stopping in at the library for free coffee, juice and bagels. We will have Green Up Day bags at the library. In addition, we thank the Friends for donations toward some of our museum passes.
On behalf of all who benefit from this program, we want to thank these partnering cultural institutions for connecting with Vermont libraries, thereby sharing their historical and natural wonders with a wider audience. Our collection now includes passes for discounted or free admission to American Precision Museum, Echo Lake Aquarium and Science Center, Hildene (the Lincoln Family Home), Lake Champlain Maritime Museum, Shelburne Farms, Shelburne Museum, Vermont historic sites, Vermont state parks, the Vermont Institute for Natural Science and Wonderfeet Kids’ Museum. In addition, we have a bicycle pass from Johnson and Son Bikeworks in Hampton, New York, for $4 per day rentals. Be sure to give the library a call at 802468-5574 before setting out to be sure that the pass you’d like to borrow is available.

Poultney Community Center keeping active The Poultney Young at Heart Senior Center is just that – for the young at heart. It’s not your average senior center. Each year brings a series of classes, meals and excursions that keep seniors and residents of Lakes Region communities on their toes. “We want people to know we are here and that it’s not just a bunch of stodgy old folks,” said Kathy Hutson, site director. Each year, the senior center hosts a series of trips that also help raise funds. June 16-23, twenty-five seniors will take an Alaskan cruise on the The Poultney Young at Heart Senior Center Norwegian Bliss.

“They are very kind to us,” Hutson said. “We get a much larger turnout when we do things there because it’s a bigger space.” The senior center, a 501c3 nonprofit, relies heavily on fundraising. “We rely a lot on fundraising and donations. It’s extremely important,” Hutson said. Young at Heart also receives appropriated funds from the town of Poultney. “We are a recipient of town funding,” Hutson said. “That pays a portion of our annual budget.” Trips away and events are fun, but Young at Heart also has many activities and services to entice area seniors to eat well, exercise and continue to learn here in the Lakes Region. It serves soup and coffee starting at 11:15 a.m. and lunch at noon Tuesday through Friday each week, include roasted pork, macaroni and cheese, bacon and vegetable quiche and more.

Centers Health Care is going strong Centers Health Care, the largest post-acute health care network in the Northeast, has given new voice to its message and its mission. It all comes down to two words that convey a world of meaning: Get Stronger. That direct, imperative sentence is at the core of Centers’ 49 facilities across five states, and Centers is bringing it all home here in Washington County. The Get Stronger story begins in Centers’ therapy suites—physical, occupational and speech—where cutting-edge rehab technology and the top therapists in health care combine to make its rehab residents healthier and stronger. Whether recovering from injury, illness or surgery, the residents at Centers benefit from the most advanced equipment and treatment protocols.
Empowerment But at Centers, getting stronger entails far more than a simple phys-
Poultney Continued from page 9 Birthday dinners, which are held each month, are some of the most popular, Hutson said. “One month it will be a full turkey dinner and another month it will be ham and scalloped potatoes,” she said. “Those attract the most people and we can serve up to 67 people.” Young at Heart is the only meal site in Rutland County that prepares all meals on-site. The center serves about 1,000 meals a month on-site and via its Meals-onWheels program, said Hutson. The center’s reach expands far beyond Poultney, serving meals to
social workers, therapists and nutritionists. The Centers team also treats the residents like family— with respect, honesty and open lines of communication. It all makes Centers family strong.
Outreach
Centers Health Care offers cutting edge rehab technology and the top therapists in health care. ical recovery. It’s a holistic approach to body, heart and soul, empowering residents—physically, emotionally and spiritually—to get back home to the lives they love. And for those residents who need long-term care, getting stronger means giving them the assistance
they need and the dignity they deserve in a comfortable, compassionate, life-affirming environment. Centers also focuses on strengthening the bonds of family. Resident’s family members play an integral part in the recovery process, working with the highly skilled nurses,
residents in Vermont and New York towns, including Fair Haven, Granville, Castleton, Rutland and Middletown. Groups from Salem, New York and Chittenden, Vermont also attend regular meals at Young at Heart. “Just because we’re located in Poultney doesn’t mean that we just serve Poultney residents,” Hutson said. “We encourage everyone to come see us.” Hutson added that Young at Heart serves meals “family-style.” “It’s very interactive,” she said. Meals on Wheels are also available for delivery. Food is distributed by volunteers to seniors in the Poultney area who are unable to come to the center. Arrangements for Meals on Wheels can be made by contacting the Vermont
Council on Aging at 802-786-5990. Just as important as eating right is exercising and staying informed, Hutson said. Educational programs and classes are also offered at the center. Twice a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m., the center offers Bone Builders, a low-impact exercise class. It also hosts programs with speakers from agencies such as AARP, Center of Vermont Elders (COVE), the Rutland County Sheriff ’s Department and Rutland Regional Medical Center. Discussions range from Medicare updates to health and safety issues for seniors. Lynn Tucker, for example, visits the senior center twice a month. She leads discussions and presen-

Do you know some of the causes of adult hearing loss? Hearing loss is quite common and can impact people's lives in profound ways. Although there are some treatments that can improve one's ability to hear and communicate, many people are interested in learning about the ways they may be able to prevent hearing loss in the first place. Medical experts from the American Speech-LanguageHearing Association advise that hearing loss can be caused by different factors. Learning about these causes can help individuals make
smart decisions at a young age to prevent future hearing loss when possible. In certain circumstances, hearing loss may be unavoidable. By learning about what impacts hearing loss, peoIn such ple can make changes to prevent damage. instances,

Hearing Continued from page 11 dle ear disease, can make it difficult for the tiny bones in the middle ear to move. Surgery can correct the problem. n Malformation of the outer ear, ear canal or middle ear structure can impact hearing as well.
Sensorineural hearing loss Sensorineural hearing loss, or SNHL, occurs due to problems of the inner ear. It is often referred to as nerve-related hearing loss.
n Aging is a common cause of hearing loss that may not be reversible. Age-related hearing loss is called presbycusis and is marked by muffled or unclear speech. Treatment with assistive hearing devices can help improve hearing. n Trauma to the ear or head may impact hearing. Wearing protective gear during sports or other activities can protect against neurological damage that may cause hearing loss. n Damage to the inner ear can result from prolonged exposure to loud noises, states the Mayo Clinic. These noises cause wear and tear on the hairs or nerve cells in the
cochlea that send sound signals to the brain. When these hairs or nerve cells are damaged or missing, electrical signals aren’t transmitted as efficiently, and hearing loss occurs. Using hearing protection and turning down the volume can help. n Ménièr’s disease is an inner ear problem of unknown origins. It usually starts in people between the ages of 30 and 50. Dizziness and ringing of the ear are common, and hearing loss comes and goes. Some loss can become permanent. n Viruses and diseases as well as family history also may play a role in SNHL.

Life expectancy ranks highest in these countries Living a long, healthy life has been made possible thanks in part to modern medicine. But the factors behind longevity are more complex than just access to quality healthcare. Genetics, lifestyle and even where a person lives can all impact the length of a person's life. Longevity is often studied so scientists can uncover the secrets to those who seem to have unlocked the fountain
of youth. Certain areas of the world boast the longest life spans, and scientists study these areas for clues. In 2016, the World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Survey studied the health of populations around the world. In the criteria, WEF ranked countries in terms of the average life expectancy - indicating where people live the longest. While developed countries cer-
tainly made the list, there was some offset in the numbers based on high rates of mental health issues that may lead to suicide. Overall, the following countries ranked high in average life expectancy. People interested in living longer may want to adopt some of their citizens' lifestyle habits to live long lives. n Monaco: The second smallest country in the world boasts quite a high life expectancy, with people living an average of 89.7 years. Nearby France has the lowest obesity rates in the world, possibly helping people to live long, healthy lives. n Hong Kong: This country off the

coast of China has a high longevity rate with people living an average of 84 years. Steamed food, engaging in Tai Chi and drinking tea may contribute to long life. n Japan: In this Asian nation, people live 83.6 years on average. Again, a healthy diet rich in seafood and active lifestyles may be the secret. n Spain: The Spanish dine on the famed Mediterranean Diet, which is rich in fresh vegetables, fish and healthy fats. Spaniards live on average 83.1 years. n Switzerland and Italy: Low poverty levels make a good diet more readily available to much of the Swiss and Italian populations. Diverse topography that can push physical exertion also may help those in Switzerland and Italy live to 82.8 and 82.7 years, respectively. The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency also tracks life expectancy rates for nations around the world. The United States does not crack the top 20. The CIA puts America at number 50 on its list, with people living an average of 78.4 years. The World Bank shows that Canadians fare better than Americans, with an average life span of 82.1 years.

Helpful and important tips on writing an obituary Coping with the death of a loved one is never easy. Even those comforted by the acknowledgment that a recently deceased friend or family member lived a full life may still struggle with the sense of loss that comes with the passing of a loved one. Upon the passing of a loved one, an individual is often tasked with writing an obituary. Some people may find writing an obituary is cathartic, providing an opportunity to tell a loved one's life story and indicate how unique the deceased was. Because writing an obituary is not something people are asked to do every day, it's understandable if many men and women don't know where to begin. Obituaries do not necessarily have to follow a formula, but the following tips can help people compose an obituary that conveys who their deceased loved one was and how much this person meant to friends and family. Also, in many cases your local funeral home will gladly help you write an obituary for your loved on who has passed.
n Do not feel obliged to include cause of death. While acquaintances who first learn of a person's death via an obituary may be curious about cause of death, loved ones of the deceased do not have to include such information if they are uncomfortable doing so. Many obituaries never include such information, so readers likely won't expect it. Those who are comfortable including such information in the obituary may find it helps them avoid having to answer numerous inquiries about the loved one's demise at the ensuing visitation and funeral services.
employment, charity work, and hobbies can give readers an accurate idea of the life your loved one lived.
n Include some biographical information. Obituaries are typically more than simple announcements of death. Some simple biological information can shed light on who the deceased was and his or her personal and professional accomplishments. Avoid getting too detailed, as newspapers may not accept obituaries that are very lengthy. But biographical information like full name, place of birth, family (i.e., spouse, children, grandchildren, etc.), military service, place of
Financial Services
Do you know how many newspapers cover the entire Lakes Region? Just one. The Lakes Region FreePress.
n Include donation information. Well-wishers who read the obituary may want to send flowers or make donations to express their condolences. Include the family preference regarding flowers or donations in the obituary. When requesting donations be made to the deceased's favorite charity, include the charity's full name and contact information or a website in the obituary.
S.M.L.
n Include visitation and funeral information. Be sure to include the day, location and visitation hours for viewings. If the funeral will be public, include the day and time of the funeral as well. n Have the obituary ready one to two days before the services are scheduled. Publishing the obituary a couple of days in advance of visitation hours gives loved ones of the deceased time to arrange to visit and pay their respects.

Child Abuse
To report suspected child abuse or neglect call:
Prevention
800-649-5285
Month Child abuse can be hard to distinguish, but certain visual clues or changes in behavior may indicate there is a problem. The Child Abuse Prevention Center and other organizations offer these signs of child abuse or neglect: • There may be visible signs of injury, including bruises or burns. • Abused children may appear scared or anxious. They may also seem withdrawn or depressed. However, abused children also may act like nothing is wrong or become “class clowns” in an attempt to avoid unpleasant feelings. • Some abused kids may fear going home or to places where they may be abused. • Changes in school performance may indicate a problem. Some children will fall behind on work or have difficulty concentrating. Others may do especially well on tests or be obsessive about getting good grades for fear of punishment.
This hotline is open 24/7 Caller can remain anonymous. • Abused and neglected children may suffer from a lack of personal care or hygiene. Clothing may not be appropriate for the weather or appear dirty. • Abused kids could have sleep disturbances that cause them to appear tired. • Children who are abused may balk at normal, appropriate touch. They may not be able to distinguish between good and bad touch.

It Shouldn’t Hurt to Be a Child… Prevent Child Abuse!
• Risk-taking behavior may be present in abused children. The youngsters may be testing their minds and bodies to extremes or looking for another form of escapism. • Children who have been sexually abused may exhibit overly sexualized behavior or use explicit sexual language.

First Friday’s focus: fish and chicks By Jared Stamm First Friday in Granville this month will feature a diverse set of activities, with Slate Valley Museum hosting a presentation on fly-fishing and the Pember showcasing marshmallow Peeps in a diorama contest. Both events will take place on Friday, May 3, from 5 to 7 p.m. All are welcome to join in these free evenings. First Friday attendees at Slate Valley Museum will learn some of the secrets of fishing the Mettowee and the Battenkill. An informal presentation by local reps from the national nonprofit Trout Unlimited will share insights about flies, hatches, equipment and will discuss local lore about fly-fishing on these famous rivers. Devoted to conserving, protecting, restoring and maintaining pristine waterways, Trout Unlimited works from coast to coast on behalf of current and future anglers who value the connection between healthy, intact habitat and
angling opportunities. At the Pember, get ready for Peeps, ooohs and aaahs at its Peeps diorama contest. Did you know that in addition to populating Easter baskets, brightly colored marshmallow Peeps are a mainstay of crafters, who use them to populate miniature dioramas? Peeps are a favorite springtime candy, but the yellow, blue and purple chicks and bunnies also provide a lot of artistic inspiration. The Pember is providing its Granville visitors the opportunity to showcase their creativity by creating scenes populated with Peeps and giving their friends and family the chance to vote for the Peeple’s Choice Award on First Friday. The requirements are simple: Dioramas may be on any theme, as long as it is suitable for all audiences. Diorama parts should all fit inside a box with a maximum size of 15”x24”x15”. One or more sides of the box may be removed. All visible parts of the diorama should be decorated, and all characters in the scene should
be made using Peeps. Registration forms are available at the Pember and must be completed and dropped off at the Pember by Friday, April 26. Participants can bring their dioramas – one entry per person or team – to the Pember on Friday, May 3, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Dioramas will remain on display the following week and must be picked up by Wednesday, May 15. “We’re hoping that people get into the spirit and craft some terrific dioramas,” said Pember educator and curator Bernadette Hoffman. “We want to give everyone the chance to show off their creativity.” For more information about the contest, call the Pember at 518-642-1515. The Pember Library and Museum is located at 33 W. Main St., Granville, New York. For more information about the fly-fishing presentation, call the Slate Valley Museum at 518-642-1417. Slate Valley Museum is located at 17 Water St., Granville, New York.
Rutland County Humane Society celebrates 60 years The Rutland County Humane Society will host a celebration of its 60th anniversary on Saturday, April 27, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the society’s building. The day will include live music from Rick Redington and an afternoon cookout complete with cake, fun lawn games, historical information, cute photo ops for families, puppy and kitten naming ideas and more. Dogs are welcome, and humane society alumni dogs will receive bandanas. Bring an alumni photo for the board. The Adoption Center will be open at 11 a.m. for tours and for visitors to learn more about the society. With 60 years of history, the Rutland County Humane Society has a lot to celebrate. It began in the late 1950s
when two local women, Ellen Hollrock Porter and Olive Smith, were concerned about the many stray animals they saw and cared for. They assembled a group of people to discuss the idea of creating a humane society. Ed Wheeler, a farmer in Pittsford, began working with the group and became its first humane agent. His farm was used to house the stray and unwanted animals for many years until the shelter was built. The Rutland County Humane Society was legally incorporated on April 29, 1959. Land was purchased from the Stevens Farm on Stevens Road in Pittsford for the new shelter and the groundbreaking took place in October 1966. The $45,000 building was dedicated and opened on October

1, 1967. In 1975 a stable was built to house large animals and in 1998 renovations to the shelter were required and completed. Over the years the humane society estimates it has cared for or assisted over 113,000 animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds and – in the early years – skunks, loons, fawns, goats and horses to name just a few. Many initiatives took place over the years including fundraising events, humane education, Junior Humane Society programs, pet therapy, pet adoptions, spay and neuter programs, dog training, membership, camps and more. Support for the society has come from individuals and businesses throughout the county with monetary donations, supplies for the shelter, publicity and fund-raising. Rutland County Humane Society continues to implement programs to help people and animals in Rutland County. Community support enables the society to be successful, and the society is grateful to the community for its continued support. For more information, call 802-483-9171 or visit www.rchsvt.org.
