VOCATIONAL SERVICE IS TOPIC AT MT. VERNON ROTARY MEETING Vocational Service, one of Rotary's Five Avenues of Service, was the topic of discussion at this week’s Rotary Club of Mt. Vernon gathering. Rotary President Mary Harvey, right, reported each Rotary Club is a cross-section of the business and professional life of the community it is committed to serve. Club members are brought together, providing the opportunity for Rotarians to share vocational information that broadens their knowledge of the contemporary workplace and to contribute their vocational talents to the problems and needs of society. Rotarians have the dual responsibility of representing their vocation within the club and exemplifying the ideals of Rotary within the workplace. The featured speaker,

Rotary Past President Hillary Esser, talked about vocational service as it pertained to her duties as

STAY SOBER, WEAR LIFE JACKETS WHILE BOATING IN ILLINOIS

Illinois Conservation Police officers are reminding boaters that safety on the water in Illinois starts with boat operators staying sober and all boaters wearing life jackets. Illinois’ busiest boating season is about to begin, and waterway safety reminders are part of the observance of National Safe Boating Week, May 20-26. “It takes only a few seconds to fasten a life jacket, and wearing a life jacket can save your life,” said Illinois Conservation Pol i c e C h i e f R af a e l Gutierrez. “In addition, just like driving a car or truck, staying sober while Submitted Photo operating a boat is the law in Illinois.” Director of Development Statistics compiled by at The Cedarhurst Center the IDNR Office of Law of the Arts.

viding a review of boating laws and regulations and instruction on safe and attentive operation of watercraft. The IDNR encourages boaters of all ages to take a safety course. Anyone born on or after January 1, 1998 must pass a course and have a valid Boating Safety Certificate to operate a motorboat (with over 10 horsepower); and, state law requires boating safety education for persons ages 12 to 17 to operate a motorboat. The free safety courses taught by volunteer instructors are available throughout Illinois, and schedules are available by checking the IDNR website’s boating information page at https://www.dnr. illinois.gov/safety/Pages/ BoatingSafety.aspx For a fee, online boating safety courses are also available. There were 248,948 registered boats in Illinois in 2016, and the IDNR issued 58,067 annual Water Usage Stamps, which are required for non-powered watercraft. To review a copy of the latest edition of the Illinois DNR Boating Report, compiled by the IDNR Office of Law Enforcement, go to the IDNR website: https:// www.dnr.illinois.gov/ safety/Documents/Boating AccidentReport2016.pdf National Safe Boating Week is observed each year during the week prior to the Memorial Day holiday weekend.

there were 73 boating-related accidents in Illinois in 2016 resulting in 36 injuries and 11 fatalities. The number of boating-related accidents last year was below the five-year average, and compares with 74 accidents with 49 injuries and 14 fatalities in 2015. (Annual boating accident statistics are compiled based on the Federal Fiscal Year of October 1 through September 30). In enforcing Illinois boating laws, Conservation Police officers (CPOs) in 2016 issued 1,721 citations and 5,258 warnings. CPOs made 147 arrests for boaters operating under the influence (OUI) in 2016. IDNR statistics indicate that eight of the 11 people who died in boating accidents last year may have survived if they had worn a life jacket or other personal flotation device (PFD); three of the 11 boating-related fatalities involved alcohol or drug impairment. Illinois law requires that properly-fitting PFDs – life jackets or life vests – be available for each person aboard a boat or other watercraft. State law also requires that anyone under the age of 13 must wear a life jacket while aboard any watercraft under 26 feet in length at all times the boat is underway, unless they are below deck in an enclosed cabin or operating on private property. Illinois law also requires persons of any age to wear a PFD while operating a personal watercraft or Jet Ski. The IDNR offers free boating safety courses pro-

WASHINGTON CFB’S 4TH ANNUAL “COMMUNITY IMPACT GRANT PROGRAM” At the Washington County Farm Bureau, they understand the amount of hard work and sweat equity that is required to make a lasting impact in our community. For over 90 years, the Washington County Farm Bureau has offered programs and services in Washington C ou nt y to i n for m , strengthen, and develop the agricultural industry. They continue that same mission today by investing time and resources to improve the economic well-being of agriculture, and enrich the quality of our rural way of life. Despite their best efforts, they realize that they cannot meet all the needs in Washington

County by themselves. For this reason, they created the “Community Impact Grant Program”. There are many great ideas for communitybased projects which, unfortunately, do not become a reality. The Washington County Farm Bureau's Community Impact Grant Program seeks to identify various projects that will improve our community and create partnerships with groups and individuals to make those projects a reality. Proposals will be accepted through July 31. The submitting organization or individual must be based in Washington County or have operations in the county. Examples

of organizations include: schools, civic organizations, churches, 4-H clubs, FFA chapters, fraternities, s ororities, and etc. Projects that have a lasting impact will be favored over those with a shortterm impact. T h e Wa s h i n g t o n County Farm Bureau has committed $5,000 to fund eligible projects for 2017. Grant awards will be announced around August 15, with project completion to occur by December 31. If you have questions, or would like to request grant applications, contact the Washington County Farm Bureau office at 618327-3081 or washcfb@ washingtoncfb.org.

Gently fold into butter mixture. (Mixture will look curdled.) Fold in 1 cup ground almonds and flour mixture. Evenly divide batter between pans. Bake at 350°F 25-28 minutes until cake pulls away from sides of pan and center springs back when lightly touched. Cool 10 minutes in pans set on rack. Remove cakes; cool on rack To make Filling: In medium bowl, cream 1/2 cup butter at medium speed of electric mixer. Add 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar, beating until light and fluffy.

By Larry Cox 'Little Black Sambo' --Q: I have a copy of "Little Black Sambo" published by Whitman Tell-A-Tale Books. I received it for my birthday in 1951 or 1952. It is in pristine condition, and I am curious about how much it might be worth. -- Cora Ann, Billings, Montana A: For more than a century, "Little Black Sambo" has been available in numerous editions throughout the world.

her children. Bannerman, who lived in Scotland, sold the rights to the book for a few pounds and never received royalties from the millions of copies that eventually were published. The book is set in India, not Africa, but copies began to vanish from book shelves and libraries due to political correctness during the 1970s. To answer your question, your copy was published in 1950 and is valued in the $25 to $50 range by Steve Santi, author of "Children's Books: Identification and Price Guide," published by Krause Books. *** Q: I have a Hummel plate from 1973 called

(3) President Trump brushing back Montenegro Prime Minister Duško Marković with his hand as he's attempting to get in front for a photo of world leaders.

In the news, the Russian connection, Trump travels, the media response, bomb blast kills twenty-two. Unlike the great, fast-paced movie, "The French Connection," the "Russian Connection" just seems to drag on and on and on with the 24 / 7 coverage — or should I say commentary — of the possible collusion of the Trump administration. Everyone, including Bob Woodward, is trying to make this into today's Watergate. And to top it all off, the Russians have resurfaced as the Evil Empire that will destroy the United States.

EAGLE LIFE

Ministries by: Cliff Sanders

Heaven Every Memorial Day my mother makes an annual pilgrimage to our family cemetery plot and places flowers on graves in remembrance of departed loved ones. Death would be very difficult to face without the hope of heaven. In his inspired treatise on the resurrection of Christ, the apostle Paul said, “If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.” (I Corinthians 15:19) The good news is that heaven is real, the dead will rise again, and all who die with faith in Christ Jesus, will live eternally in the celestial city. How can one describe the glories of heaven? Even those in the Bible who had a glimpse of heaven had difficulty adequately describing what they saw and heard. But consider this anacronym for the word HEAVEN as we get a brief glimpse of the glories of heaven. I pray it will whet your appetite and desire for heaven. H — Heaven is a HOLY PLACE. God Almighty is there. All

1. Is the book of Nahum in the Old or New Testament or neither? 2. In Acts 7, who recounts the story of Abraham along with the captivity and freedom of the children of Israel? Paul, Peter, Stephen, Andrew

the holy angels worship him. “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come.” (Revelation 4:6-8; 5:9-12) Can you imagine a place that is totally pure, pristine, and holy? There will be no crime, deception, hate, disease, death, or any kind of sin. “Nothing impure will ever enter it nor anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.” (Revelation 21:7, 22-27) “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation and washed their robes and made them white inw the blood of the Lamb.” (Revelation 7:14) E — Heaven’s ENTRANCE. The key into heaven is faith alone in the cross of Christ. “Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption... by his blood, through faith.” (Romans 3:24-25) Jesus

demonstrated the way, “He called a little child and had him stand among them. And he said, ‘I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, w ho e ver humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 18:2-4) A — Heaven is AWESOME. Words fail to describe it. In John 14:1-6 Jesus said there are mansions in heaven and he was preparing a place for each believer. Revelation 21 describes the foundations of heaven, the streets paved with gold, the 12 gates, each made of one pearl. There is no night there because the Lamb is the light. The phrase “heaven on earth” will become a reality when, after the 1,000-year reign of Christ on earth, heaven, the new Jerusalem comes down to rest on the earth. God will dwell among his people. (Revelation 21:1-6) V — Heaven is VICTORY over death, hell, sickness, sorrow, sin, and Satan. There will be none of these

struggles in heaven. Our struggles will be over. (I Corinthians 15:51-56) E — Heaven is EDUCATION in the things of God. All the things you ever wanted to know about God and life will be answered. “For we will know fully.” (I Corinthians 13:12)) “For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.” (Isaiah 11:9) N — Heaven is NEVER ENDING. On earth, things come to an end. Heaven is eternal. Lasting rewards will be given to all overcomers. “Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” (I Corinthians 15:58) Heaven is real! Look above where Christ is seated and look for his glorious appearing from heaven any day now. Shalom, Cliff Sanders Eagle Life Ministries eagleslife8@gmail.com

by Samantha Weaver • It was Douglas Hofstadter, American professor of cognitive science and Pulitzerwinning author, who made the following sage observation, known as Hofstadter's Law: "It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law." • According to Reed Hastings, the CEO of Netflix, the biggest com-

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might have to turn your Arian charm up a few degrees if you hope to persuade that persistent pessimist to see the possibilities in your project. Whatever you do, don’t give up. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A “tip” about a co-worker’s “betrayal” might well raise the Bovine’s rage levels. But before charging into a confrontation, let an unbiased colleague do some fact checking. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Although a relationship still seems to be moving too slowly to suit your expectations, it’s best not to push it. Let it develop at its own pace. You’ll soon get news about a workplace change. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A continually changing personal situation makes you feel as if you’re riding an emotional roller coaster. But hold on tight; stability starts to set in early next week. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Believe it or not, someone might dare to say “No!” to the Regal One’s suggestion. But instead of being miffed, use this rebuff to recheck the proposition and, perhaps, make some changes. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You might find it difficult to make a decision about a family matter. But delay can only lead to more problems. Seek out trusted counsel and then make that important decision. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Concentrate your focus on what needs to be done, and avoid frittering

away your energies on less-important pursuits. There’ll be time later for fun and games. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Although the conflicts seem to be letting up, you still need to be wary of being drawn into workplace intrigues. Plan a special weekend event for family and/or friends. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your quick wit helps you work through an already difficult situation without creating more problems. Creative aspects begin to dominate by the week’s end. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Be patient. You’ll soon receive news about a project that means so much to you. Meanwhile, you might want to reconsider a suggestion you previously turned down. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) There are still some aspects about that new job offer you need to resolve. In the meantime, another possibility seems promising. Be sure to check that out as well. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Opening up your emotional floodgates could leave you vulnerable to being hurt later on. Watch what you say, in order to avoid having your words come back to haunt you. BORN THIS WEEK: You’re usually the life of the party, which gets you on everyone’s invitation list.

more people employed in the solar-energy industry than there are employees in the coal, oil and gas industries combined. • Economists aren't known for their optimism, but in the summer of 1930, one of the 20th century's most influential economists made a bold prediction. Even as the Great Depression was gaining momentum, John Maynard Keynes declared that by the year 2030, the typical workweek in developed nations would be just 15 hours long. It's not looking good so far, but we do have 17 years to go. • Those who study such things say that a monarch butterfly can fly a whopping 620 miles without

stopping for food. • You may have never heard the term "reduplicative rhymes," but you're certainly familiar with them. "Razzle-dazzle" is one. Also, "hocus pocus," "fuddy-duddy," "roly-poly," "dillydally," "higgledypiggledy" and "chick flick." Interestingly, Chick Flick also was the name of a baseball manager -- he managed Rustic Tavern, a semi-professional team in the 1940s and '50s.. *** Thought for the Day: "Words are like leaves; and where they most abound / Much fruit of sense beneath is rarely found." — Alexander Pope © 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.

3 heart health tips for women deaths in the United States. Americans’ female neighbors to the north also are not immune from heart disease, which is the leading cause of death for Canadian women. Recognizing the threat that heart disease poses is a great first step for women who want to avoid becoming one of the hundreds of thousands of women who lose their lives to heart disease each year. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration offers the following advice to women looking to prioritize their heart health.

1. Consume a heart-friendly diet.

Having their blood pressure routinely checked is one way women can protect the long-term health of their hearts.

Thanks to food labels, it’s easier than ever for women to consume heart-healthy diets. When examining labels, look for foods that are low in sodium and sugar. When planning meals, avoid foods that are high in trans fats. In 2015, the FDA ruled that trans fats were not recognized as safe for use in human foods and gave manufacturers three years to remove them from their products. At press time, no such ban exists in Canada, though information regarding trans fats must be included on Canadian food labels. The Cleveland Clinic advises consumers to check labels for “partially hydrogenated oils,” which are a hidden source of trans fats. In addition, the Cleveland Clinic notes that foods such as cakes, pies, cookies, biscuits, microwavable breakfast sandwiches, and many types of crackers contain trans fats.

eart disease may be something most commonly associated with men, but it can be deadly for women as well. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, heart disease is to blame for one in every four female

What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is a science which deals with the principle that there are reflex areas in the feet and hands which correspond to all of the glands, organs and parts of the body. Stimulating these reflexes properly can help many health problems in a natural way, a type of preventative maintenance. Reflexology is a serious advance in the health field and should not be confused with massage.

Did you know? 2. Take existing conditions seriously. Certain conditions can increase a woman’s risk for heart disease. While women may not be able to turn back the clocks and prevent these conditions from developing, they can take them for the serious threat they are and do their best to manage them. High blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol can increase a woman’s risk for heart disease. Take medications as directed, monitor blood sugar levels if you have diabetes and routinely have your blood pressure and cholesterol tested to ensure any preexisting conditions are not increasing your risk for heart disease.

3. Discuss aspirin intake. The FDA notes that many physicians prescribe aspirin to lower patients’ risk of heart disease, clot-related strokes and other problems related to cardiovascular disease. However, there are risks associated with long-term aspirin use, and such risks should be discussed with a physician. According to the FDA, bleeding in the stomach, bleeding in the brain, kidney failure, and certain types of stroke are some of the potential side effects of long-term aspirin use. Such side effects may never appear, but the risk that they might makes discussing the pros and cons of aspirin well worth it.

ccording to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, each week women who are 65 years or older, are generally ﬁt and have no limiting health conditions should combine at least two days of muscle-strengthening exercises with at least two hours and 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity. Women capable of more strenuous cardiovascular activity can substitute one hour and 15 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity with their two and a half hours per week of more moderate-intensity exercise. The CDC notes that distinguishing between moderate-intensity exercise and vigorous-intensity exercise is pretty simple. Women can use a 10point scale in which sitting is zero and working as hard as is physically possible is 10. Moderate-intensity aerobic activity will make women breathe harder and elevate their heart rates, but should not make them feel completely drained at the end of a workout. These activities will register as a ﬁve or six on the 10-point scale. Vigorous-intensity aerobic activity includes those exercises that women would deem a seven or eight on the 10-point scale. Such activities should elevate the heart rate considerably and get women breathing hard enough that they will be unable to say more than a few words without pausing to catch their breath. No two women are the same and age must be considered when developing a healthy exercise regimen, but brisk walking may qualify as moderate-intensity aerobic activity while jogging or running would be considered a vigorous-intensity activity.

Women can learn more about heart disease by visiting www.fda.gov.

Did you know? A

ccording to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, certain factors make women more likely than men to develop osteoporosis, a bone disease that occurs when the body loses too much bone, produces too little bone or both. One such factor is that women tend to have smaller, thinner bones than men. Another reason women are more vulnerable to osteoporosis than men concerns the hormone estrogen. Estrogen is a hormone in women that serves many functions, one of which includes protecting bones. Production of estrogen decreases sharply when women reach menopause, the period in a woman’s life when she ceases menstruating. The National Institute on Aging notes that the average woman has her ﬁnal period at age 51. Once women reach menopause, the accompanying decline in estrogen production can cause bone loss. This is one reason why women’s risk for osteoporosis increases after menopause and why recommended intake of calcium and vitamin D, both of which can help women prevent osteoporosis, is different for women age 50 and below than it is for women age 51 and older.

Differences in fat stores and metabolism among women

enetic differences between men’s and women’s bodies extend beyond certain physical traits and hormone levels. Women metabolize food and store fat differently than men, and understanding these differences can help women looking to lose weight. The National Center for Biotechnology Information, U.S. National Library of Medicine, states that women generally have a higher percentage of body fat than men. This fat is stored more readily in the gluteal-femoral region, while men store fat in the abdominal area. Women may become frustrated with fat stores as they embark on fitness regimens to shape their bodies. However, the fat that naturally covers muscle has a purpose, and curves can signify femininity. Women are genetically engineered to carry roughly 18 to 20 percent body fat, whereas men hold 10 to 15 percent body fat. These numbers are approximate and will vary depending on the individual. Fat reserves on

the female body are necessary for reproduction. That is why girls will begin to develop fat reserves as they enter into puberty. Fat stores are held in the hips, buttocks, thighs, and lower abdomen and will be used to power nursing and help nourish a growing baby. Despite eating fewer calories, women can store fat more efficiently than men, according to ScienceDaily. A University of New South Wales research review has suggested a link between estrogen and fat. Studies show that estrogen reduces a woman’s ability to burn energy after eating, which results in more fat being stored around the body. Surprisingly, women can burn more fat during exercise than men, but their fat storage due to exercise does not deplete as quickly as men’s. This paradox can frustrate female athletes. Some women may opt to restrict calorie consumption even further, but this actually may increase fat storage. When the body consumes fewer calories than it needs, fat reserves increase. At this time, the body

Women naturally store more fat than men. Womens’ fat reserves tend to be located primarily in the thighs, buttocks and lower abdomen.

essentially goes into starvation mode, storing whichever calories are ingested as fat reserves so there will be energy available. A key to maintaining healthy fat levels is to determine one’s optimal caloric intake for energy expenditure. A nutritionist or fitness expert can help

reach that determination. Women should understand that fat on their bodies serves a distinct purpose. Working with their bodies rather than fighting against them can help women reach their health and fitness goals.

he daily grind sometimes is exhausting. In fact, a poll from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Harvard School of Public Health found that 49 percent of Americans reported having a major stressful event or experience in the past year, and 26 percent of people said they had a “great deal” of stress. In small amounts, stress can push a person to act and grow. But constant stress can become debilitating and has been linked to a compromised immune system and other unhealthy side effects. This is why a number of people resolve to reduce stress. In addition to taking on fewer responsibilities, engaging in some activities to promote a relaxed mind and body can help alleviate stress and tension. Though the term “pampering” may not appeal to everyone, a day of pampering might be just what you need to relieve stress and unwind. • Get a full-body massage. Licensed massage therapists have the training and knowledge to work the kinks out of your muscles and ease aches and pains. Massage therapy works tension out of the body and can help release feel-good endorphins. A massage can improve circulation and help reduce blood pressure. It’s difficult to walk out of a spa without feeling relaxed.

• Schedule a manicure and pedicure appointment. If you do not have

time for a full massage, having your hands and feet pampered can be a good substitute. Manicures and pedicures are not just for ladies, either. Men can indulge and opt for no nail polish. Many salons offer different types of manicures and pedicures,

depending on personal preference. Spa treatments may include warm paraffin wax or hot stones to further ease pain and enhance the pleasure of the experience. • Take a retreat. Schedule a trip to a resort or even a small hotel that is away from the hustle and bustle of where you live. Such a respite can provide a welcome change. New scenery and a chance to escape the daily grind can effectively relieve stress. Consider low-tech accommodations and turn your phone or tablet off for a few days. • Try relaxing aromatherapy. Aromatherapy is the use of aromatic plant extracts and essential oils to elicit mental and physical responses. Lavender is a relaxing scent that can be used during a massage or in baths to induce a sense of calm. Experiment with other scents and oils to achieve the desired result. • Laugh with friends. Plan a friends’ night where you can go out for drinks and conversation or huddle around the television and watch your favorite comedy. Laughter is often a great medicine for stress, as is the company of other people who can provide some comic relief.

How busy moms can make mealtime easier

Wednesday, May 31, 2017

Slow things down Another way to save time at mealtime is to use a slow cooker so meals are cooking during the day while you are at work. Chop vegetables on weekend afternoons or nights and separate ingredients into Ziploc bags or containers so all of the prep work is done ahead of time. Each morning you can simply unload the bags or containers into the slow cooker, turn it on before leaving for work and then the meal will be ready to eat by the time you and your family arrive home at night.

falling by the wayside. Time-strapped working moms tasked with preparing family meals can embrace some timesaving strategies to make mealtime a little less hectic.

single-earner families made up just 27 percent of all couple families with children in 2014, a figure that was 59 percent in 1976. While more and more mothers are returning to work after the birth of their children, that does not mean their responsibilities at home are

Involve the whole team Working moms who are tasked with family meal planning might want to find healthy meals for their families, but that does not mean they can’t involve the whole family when it comes time to cook. Encourage children to help when preparing meals, assigning age-appropriate tasks. And let dad do some of the work, encouraging him to fire up the grill when the weather permits. Working mothers who play the role of family meal planner can make this role simpler by employing various time-saving strategies.

Save time during prep Whether it’s breakfast, lunch or dinner, preparing meals for a family can be time-consuming. When making dinner, keep a plastic shopping bag or bowl on the counter where you can discard scraps such as the skin from onions, fat from chicken and other items that will ultimately end up in the garbage. Discarding all the items into one bag rather than walking back and forth from the garbage to your work area can save time during meal prep.

When planning a ladies’ night out, give several weeks’ worth of notice so more people can carve out time to attend. Begin plans for a get-together a month or more in advance, asking friends which dates work and which will not. Treat a night out with friends just like you would any important obligation.

Try something new It may be tempting to lean on old habits and make ladies’ night out the runof-the-mill dinner and drinks. Instead, think unconventionally and find ways to make time spent with friends more engaging. How about signing up for a cooking class where you can socialize and learn a few new culinary secrets? Otherwise, do something out of character. Attend a poetry reading or visit an art museum.

Have a plan Plan activities before everyone leaves the house. Otherwise, you may waste precious time brainstorming where to go or what to do. There is a good chance

those participating in the night out are pressed for time, so maximize moments spent together by planning the night in advance.

Downplay the role of alcohol Alcoholic beverages are often at the center of social occasions. Women are largely social drinkers, but alcohol does not need to be a part of the festivities. Overconsumption of alcohol has been linked to the development of breast cancer and may cause damage to the heart and liver. Look for ways to spend time together that don’t involve alcohol.

Hire a sitter A night out with the ladies is a chance to enjoy some adult time with friends. Having kids in tow can make it difficult for women to relax. Rather than worrying about what the children are up to at home or if your spouse is going to call, hire a trusted sitter to stay with the children. This way everyone can relax and know the kids are well cared for.

Keep activities private Women who move between different social circles may have some friends that overlap. Rather than risking hurting a friend’s feelings, try not to advertise social plans with everyone. This could mean restricting postings on social networking sites. Flagrant check-ins or streaming photos from your night out could seem disrespectful of others and may lead others to feel left out. A night out with the ladies is an ideal way to unwind and enjoy a respite from packed daily schedules. Following a few suggestions can make these social opportunities even more enjoyable.

The importance of annual health exams

NOW ACCEPTING PATIENTS!

Melissa Siebert, NP; Dr. Solomon Apostol; and Dr. Miriam Baumgart

nnual health exams are a key component of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. A person may not see the need to visit the doctor if he or she is feeling well, but not every disease or condition manifests itself in a way that men and women can detect. According the Unity Point Clinic, nearly one-third of the 133 million Americans living with a chronic disease are unaware of the presence of their conditions. Routine physical exams can detect serious illnesses before they do much damage. No two physical exams will be exactly alike, but many will share some general features. Health history A crucial element of a physical exam will include a thorough health history if the physician doesn’t already have one on file. The doctor will take time to ask questions about family history of illness, health habits, any vices (smoking, drinking alcohol, etc.), exercise schedule, and diet. If there is a possible hereditary health condition running through your family, the doctor may suggest certain testing and make note of potential signs to look for in the future.

Current ailments After discussing a patient’s history, the doctor may ask if they are having any problems they cannot explain. These can include changes in eating or sleeping patterns; aches and pains; lumps or bumps and other abnormalities. Again, the presence of symptoms may be indicative of illness or physical changes, but not all diseases produce obvious symptoms.

Vital signs A doctor will check a patient’s vital signs during the physical. Areas the doctor will look at include but are not limited to: • Heart rate: This measures the speed at which the heart is pumping. Normal resting heart rate values range from 60 to 100 beats per minute.

• Blood pressure: A blood pressure cuff (sphygmomanometer) will measure systolic and diastolic pressure. Systolic pressure measures the force with which the blood is pushing through the arteries. The diastolic blood pressure is the pressure in the arteries between beats, when the heart rests. The systolic (top number) should be below 120, while the bottom should be less than 80, according to the Mayo Clinic. • Respiration rate: The doctor will measure the number of breaths taken in a minute. WebMD says between 12 and 16 breaths per minute is normal for a healthy adult. Breathing more than 20 times per minute can suggest heart or lung problems.

If you are looking for a primary care provider, we have you covered! THREE FULL TIME PROVIDERS – 5 DAYS PER WEEK

SAME DAY APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE!

• Pulse oximetry: Johns Hopkins School of Medicine says pulse oximetry is a test used to measure the oxygen level (oxygen saturation) of the blood. It is a measure of how well oxygen is being sent to the parts of your body furthest from your heart. Normal pulse oximeter readings usually range from 95 to 100 percent. Values under 90 percent are considered low.

Physical exam The examination will also include physical components. The doctor will perform a visual inspection of the skin and body for any abnormalities, such as the presence of skin cancer. The physician may feel the abdomen to check that internal organs are not distended. Females’ physical examinations may include breast and pelvic exams. Comprehensive testing In addition to the exam at the office, the physical may include an electrocardiogram, or EKG, to check electrical activity of the heart; blood count and cholesterol checks through bloodwork; body mass index testing; X-rays or MRIs and bone-density tests. Physical exams remain an important part of staying healthy. Consult with a doctor for more preventative maintenance tips.

Safety tips for female travelers

any people have a passion for travel, which can provide wondrous new experiences and enrich travelers’ lives in ways they might never have imagined prior to their trips. While some may associate traveling with family vacations or backpacking excursions with friends, more and more travelers are ﬂying solo. In its 2015 Visa Global Travel Intentions Study, the market research ﬁrm Millward Brown found that 24 percent of people traveled solo on their most recent international vacations. That study examined travelers from 25 countries, illustrating that solo travel is a global trend. Traveling alone can provide travelers with a greater sense of freedom, as such wanderers can pick and choose their trips and activities without having to consult with a partner or friend. But traveling solo also can be more risky than traveling with friends or family. The safety in numbers philosophy has long been applied to traveling overseas, but women traveling alone can employ a handful of safety strategies when planning their trips.

Wednesday, May 31, 2017

Lodging Women should take various factors into consideration before choosing lodging for their trips. Small hotels or bed and breakfasts may not be as glamorous as larger alternatives, but it’s easier to become friendly with staff at such establishments and it’s easier for staff to recognize any suspicious characters loitering on the premises. Choose a hotel on a well-traveled street so you are not walking alone down a dark road late at night. If you plan to drive on your trip, inquire about valet parking and its availability throughout the day. A 24hour parking service can keep you from having to park in dimly lit and/or faraway parking lots late at night.

Geography Many travelers may enjoy “getting lost” on their trips, feeling that such wandering is a great way to discover areas of a city that are less populated by fellow tourists. But solo travelers must be mindful of their surroundings at all times. Study maps before departing on your trip so you can get a layout of any locales you plan to visit. Learn the landmarks and their locations within the city, using them as guides should you get lost during your travels. Employ the GPS technology on your smartphone if you find yourself getting lost, and ask the front desk attendant or concierge at your hotel to mark off any potentially dangerous neighborhoods to avoid.

Attire While it can be difficult to blend in with the locals when traveling overseas, try to avoid dressing too flashy or wearing lots of jewelry. Jewelry may draw the attention of pickpockets or thieves, while overdressing may announce to criminals that you’re a tourist. Blending in as much as possible can make you less noticeable to criminals and reduce your risk of being targeted. More and more travelers are going solo. Female travelers who embrace this trend must exercise caution to ensure their trip is as safe as it is enjoyable.

Pregnancy and heart disease

Post-pregnancy and exercise

pon giving birth, women typically have pretty lengthy to-do lists. Caring for their newborns might take the top spot on such lists, but new mothers must not downplay the importance of taking care of themselves as well. According to the latest guidelines established by the Institute of Medicine, women who are considered to be “normal weight” should gain between 25 and 35 pounds during their pregnancies if they are pregnant with only one child. (Note: The World Health Organization defines “normal weight” as having a body mass index between 18.5 and 24.9.) Such weight gain can improve the health outcomes for both women and the children they’re carrying.

regnancy is a happy time for many women, but during the nine months of gestation, conditions can develop that put moms-to-be at risk a higher risk of heart disease and stroke. According to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, preeclampsia and gestational diabetes can develop during pregnancy, potentially putting women’s long-term health at risk. Preeclampsia: There is no known way to prevent preeclampsia, a condition related to increased blood pressure and protein in expecting mothers’ urine. An increase in protein is indicative of a problem with the pregnant woman’s kidneys. How to prevent preeclampsia may remain a mystery, but women who have high blood pressure or are obese before giving birth may be prone to the condition. Age also may affect the likelihood that a woman will develop preeclampsia, as women younger than 20 and those older than 40 are considered to be at greater risk of developing the condition than those between the ages of 21 and 39. The risk for preeclampsia is also greater among women who are expecting twins and those who have diabetes, kidney disease, lupus, rheumatoid

arthritis, or scleroderma. Physicians can treat preeclampsia, and women who develop the condition can have successful pregnancies and give birth to healthy babies. Gestational diabetes: Pregnancy hormones can interfere with the ability a pregnant woman’s body has to use insulin efficiently. As a result, women must produce extra insulin while pregnant. If that cannot happen, then blood sugar levels can rise and lead to gestational diabetes. Gestational diabetes produces no warning signs, so women must ensure their glucose levels are monitored throughout their pregnancies. The long-term ramifications of gestational diabetes can be significant, as the condition can raise both mother and baby’s risk of developing diabetes later in life. Stroke: Women can suffer from stroke at any time during their pregnancy, though the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada notes that their risk is high during childbirth and in the first few months after childbirth. Preexisting conditions, such as blood vessel malformation or eclampsia, are often the culprits when pregnant women or new mothers suffer strokes.

Women will lose some but not all of their pregnancy weight during childbirth. Recognizing the importance of maintaining healthy weights, many women hope to begin losing their remaining pregnancy weight as soon as possible after their children are born. Exercise can help accomplish that goal, but women must consider certain factors before beginning a post-pregnancy exercise regimen.

Why exercise? The Mayo Clinic notes that exercising after pregnancy provides a host of benefits. Healthy diets can help women lose pregnancy weight, but exercise plays a crucial role in healthy weight loss. Exercise can help women boost their energy levels

11B

after childbirth while also improving their cardiovascular fitness. Exercise also can help to strengthen and tone abdominal muscles and alleviate some of the stress that may result from caring for newborn children. Regular exercise can help women sleep better at night as well.

When should I begin to exercise? The American Council on Exercise notes that many of the physiological changes associated with pregnancy persist for four to six weeks after giving birth. Women should not expect or feel pressured to dive back into their vigorous pre-pregnancy exercise routines in the immediate aftermath of giving birth. But women do not necessarily have to wait the full six weeks, either. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists advocates that women resume their pre-pregnancy exercise regimens as soon as it is medically and physically safe for them to do so. (Note: Women who had Caesarean sections will require more time to recover than those who did not.) Speak with your physician and be fully honest about how you feel. Building an exercise tolerance will be gradual, so even when you get clearance from your doctor, take things slowly at first. Exercising after childbirth can help women return to their normal weights. Women can speak with their physicians to ensure their post-pregnancy weight loss efforts are healthy and successful.

THE SHOPPERS WEEKLY PAPERS Male hair loss is more common and unlikely to garner much attention. But FPHL can be difficult for women. Women who lose their hair may suffer from low self-esteem and be less inclined to engage socially.

Women can experience hair loss, too

According to the American Academy of Dermatology, it’s normal for men and women to lose between 50 and 100 hairs a day, even for those people who are not going bald. But losing large amounts of hair each day is cause for concern. FPHL is characterized by miniaturization of the hair follicles, which become shorter and produce thinner and more brittle hairs. Eventually, hair follicles may stop developing altogether. The AAD notes that FPHL has a distinct appearance in which the hair thins mainly on the top and crown of the scalp. A gradual widening of the center part of hair may be noticeable as well.

Hair loss aﬀects women as well as men. But many women suﬀer in silence.

aldness is a condition most commonly associated with men, but many women also experience hair loss, and the effects of that hair loss can affect body image.

the most common form of progressive hair loss in women. The condition also may be called androgenetic alopecia. The

American Hair Loss Association indicates that up to 40 percent of American hair loss suﬀerers are women.

Female pattern hair loss, or FPHL, is

Hair loss may be the result of genetics and other environmental factors that throw off the growing cycle, advises WebMD. Medication, illness, infection, hormones, or chemicals have the potential to prevent hair from being formed properly. Hair loss is sometimes temporary, and hair will ultimately grow normally after a precipitating event, such as pregnancy, ends.

Wednesday, May 31, 2017 Dihydrotestosterone, or DHT, a derivative of the male hormone testosterone, can play a role in female hair loss, says the American Hair Loss Association. The hormonal process of testosterone converting into DHT can harm hair follicles. The process occurs in women as well as men because females have small amounts of testosterone in their normal biology. Male androgen hormones may become more pronounced in women’s bodies as they age and their own female hormones of estrogen and progesterone start to diminish. Women losing their hair should see a dermatologist to determine the cause of their hair loss. Avoiding tight hair styles, hair trauma and stressors may help as well. However, when hair loss is not preventable, a medication called minoxidil may help. This topical treatment helps slow down or stop hair loss in roughly one in four women, according to Harvard Health Publications. It also may produce some new hair growth. The process can take a year, so styling one’s hair a different way or clip-in extensions may help hide hair loss in the interim. Hair loss affects women as well as men, and women should not hesitate to discuss their hair loss with their physicians.

The NOF notes that osteoporosis is often referred to as a silent disease, with many people not even realizing they have it until they suffer a fracture. Because of the silent nature of osteoporosis and their increased vulnerability to it, women may want to take the following measures to protect themselves against this potentially debilitating disease. Include ample calcium and vitamin D in your diet. The NOF notes that calcium and vitamin D are both vital to building strong, dense bones when you’re young, and both calcium and vitamin D keep bones strong and healthy as the body ages. Women age 50 and younger need 1,000 milligrams of calcium each day, while those 51 and older need 1,200 milligrams each day. Calcium-rich foods include dairy products like low- or non-fat milk, yogurt and cheese. Women age 50 and younger need between 400 and 800 international units (IU) of vitamin

D each day, while those age 50 and older need between 800 and 1,000 IU each day. The body can get vitamin D from sunlight and supplements or multivitamins. Vitamin D is naturally available in just a few foods, such as fatty fish like wild-caught salmon or tuna. Include weight-bearing and muscle-strengthening exercises in your workout routine. Weightbearing and muscle-strengthening exercises help women build and maintain bone density. Weight-bearing exercises include dancing, high-impact aerobics, jogging/running, and tennis, among others. Muscle-strengthening activities include weightlifting and elastic band exercises. The NOF notes that certain positions in exercises such as yoga and pilates may not be safe for people with osteoporosis or those at increased risk of broken bones. Speak to a physical therapist about which positions or exercises to avoid. Pay attention to the beverages you drink. It’s not just the foods you eat that can help or hurt you in the fight against osteoporosis. Heavy consumption of alcohol can contribute to bone loss, while drinks that contain caffeine, including coffee, tea and sodas, can decrease calcium absorption and contribute to bone loss as well.

arents with responsibilities at work and at home commonly struggle to find balance between these two often conflicting sets of obligations. Surveys have indicated that working professionals who work less are more likely to be happy with their work-life balance than those who burn the midnight oil at work, but for many adults, working less is not always an option.

A 2012 report from New Zealand’s Ministry of Social Development found that the percentage of working professionals who were very satisfied or satisfied with their work-life balance declined as their hours worked increased. Canada’s General Social Survey discovered similar results, noting that, while the majority of working parents were satisfied with their worklife balance, those who were not most frequently cited their dissatisfaction at not having enough time for family life as the main culprit behind their discontent. Creating a better work-life balance is an ongoing commitment, and even working parents who employ the following strategies may find they need to periodically tweak their routines so they can fulfill their obligations at home and at the office. Schedule family time. Since working professionals unhappy with their worklife balance often cite lack of family time as the reason for that dissatisfaction, finding time for family may be the key to changing that outlook. Schedule time for family just as you schedule the rest of your daily commitments. Listing family dinners or activities in your

daily schedule will ensure you don’t mistakenly schedule other activities during family time. Employ technology where possible. Some working parents may feel as though technology has made it harder than ever to leave work at the office. But while smartphones, tablets and other devices may mean you’re never too far away from work, technology also can be used to create more time with loved ones. Employ an app such as FaceTime to eat lunch with your spouse or chat with your children each day. Such interactions may not be as enjoyable as face-to-face interactions, but building them into your day can help you stay in touch with family and provide a welcome respite from busy workdays. Use your vacation days. A recent study from Project: Time Off, a national movement aimed at highlighting the important role that time off from work can play in the lives of professionals, 55 percent of Americans did not use their full allotment of vacation days in 2015. That translated to 658 million unused vacation days, 222 million of which could not be carried over into 2016. Professionals who want to create a better work-life balance can examine their vacation day usage and resolve to use them all if they are not already. Parents can use vacation days on national holidays when schools are closed so they can squeeze in family time even when they are not going on trips. Parents who put their minds to it can create a more fulfilling work-life balance.

Tips for women

THE SHOPPERS WEEKLY PAPERS

mulling a career change

omen considering a career change may experience mixed emotions. The excitement elicited by such a decision may be tempered by fear. Such fear is natural when embarking on a new path and leaving behind some security and professional equity, but that fear should not be the deciding factor when women mull whether or not to change careers. The decision to change careers is something that requires careful thought and ample consideration of a host of factors. Women facing such a decision can consider the following tips to ensure they make the best choice for themselves. Consider your motivation before pursuing a change. The motivation behind a career change can go a long way toward determining if that change is ultimately successful. Money can be a great motivator, but if money is the only thing driving a change, then women might be better off pursuing new opportunities within their existing field rather than changing careers entirely, as staying within the field will allow women to capitalize on the professional equity they have built over their careers while also providing a new challenge. A genuine interest in another profession or a desire to find a better work-life balance might make for better motivators to change careers than simply switching to make more money. Do your homework. Career changes require hard work and, if extra schooling is necessary, a potentially sizable financial investment. Women should thoroughly research any fields they might pursue before making a change so they can fully understand the commitment they

will need to make. Once they get an idea of what they will need to do make a successful career change, women should speak with their family to discuss the effects that their pursuit may have on family members. Such a discussion can make the transition to a new career easier, and the support a woman’s family provides along the way can serve as something to lean on if or when things start to feel overwhelming. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Many people are dissatisfied with their careers, and those who aren’t might have been at one time. When mulling a career change, don’t be afraid to seek help. Help might come from family or friends, but women shouldn’t limit themselves with regard to whose help they will accept. If a woman wants to become a college professor, she shouldn’t hesitate to contact a professor at a local college, explaining her situation and asking for any advice. Women have nothing to lose by reaching out and such help can prove invaluable. And women might be surprised to learn just how willing even strangers might be to lend a hand. Give yourself time. Career changes are rarely an overnight process. Successfully switching careers takes time, so don’t give yourself a quick deadline to make a change. Such pressure likely won’t increase your chances of making a successful switch, and you won’t enjoy the process nearly as much if you bury yourself in pressure. Changing careers can be exciting and nerve-wracking. Affording such a switch the consideration it deserves and doing your homework can help make the switch as successful as you envision it being.

How aging women can ﬁght ﬁbromyalgia pain

s the body ages, aches and pains might become more difficult for men and women to handle. While not all pain is indicative of a disorder or condition, aging women who experience pain may be suffering from fibromyalgia. The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases notes that fibromyalgia is a common and chronic disorder characterized by widespread pain. While anyone can get fibromyalgia, the NIAMS that between 80 and 90 percent of those diagnosed are women and that sufferers are most often diagnosed in middle age. Doctors may prescribe medication to help women fight pain resulting from fibromyalgia, and there are some additional ways to combat that pain as well.

Get enough sleep. The NIAMS says the getting enough sleep can help ease the pain and fatigue associated with fibromyalgia. To ensure a better night’s sleep, women can adopt sleep schedules so they go to bed and wake up at the same time each day, including on weekends and during vacations. Avoid alcohol and caffeine in the late afternoon and evening, as both substances can make it more difficult to sleep soundly. In addition, avoid reading or working while in bed,

as such activities can stimulate the body, making it harder to fall asleep as a result.

Exercise regularly.

Exercising while in pain may seem counterintuitive, but the NIAMS notes that numerous studies have indicated that regular exercise is an effective treatment for fibromyalgia. When beginning a new exercise regimen, take things slowly at first, gradually building up your endurance levels and amping up the intensity of your workouts as your body acclimates itself to exercise.

Change your diet. Some women suffering from fibromyalgia have reported feeling better when they began to avoid certain foods, though the NIAMS points out that there is no specific diet connected to reducing fibromyalgia-related pain. The AARP notes that foods such as red grapes and cherries and herbs and spices, such as ginger and turmeric, can help aging women combat pain. Examine your work space.

Working women who are dealing with fibromyalgia may benefit by examining their work spaces and adapting those spaces to make them more comfortable. Replace desk chairs if they do not provide adequate support and speak with an occupation therapist regarding other ways to make work stations more comfortable.

How young women can land the right internship

nternships provide great opportunities for young women to get their professional feet wet. While classroom lessons provide theoretical senses of what a profession might be like, an internship gives an actual sense, shedding light on how a particular business or industry operates. In its Class of 2015 Student Survey, the National Association of Colleges and Employers found that women (65.8 percent) were slightly more likely to have had an internship than men (64.6 percent). Competition for internships can be steep, and young women who want to set themselves apart from the field can employ various strategies as they search for internships.

Learn the recruiting schedule.

Some professions may recruit interns year-round, while others may only look for interns during particular times of the year. Speak with your academic advisor or someone in your college or university’s career placement department to determine when opportunities in your field are most

likely to be available, and make sure your materials (i.e., résumé and portfolio) are ready when that recruiting season begins.

Don’t limit yourself. Cast a wide net when searching for an internship. If you want to be an investment banker, landing an internship that allows you to work alongside investment bankers may be ideal. However, limiting yourself to only those opportunities may be prohibitive, and you may end up with nothing. Maintain an open mind when pursuing internships. Even if you don’t land your dream internship, another opportunity may provide lots of hands-on experience while also allowing you to get your foot in the door. Tell the truth. Embellishing your résumé might help you get an interview, but chances are the interviewer will learn pretty quickly if your purported skills are authentic. Internship programs are designed for students with little or no experience who might one day turn into valued employees. If a company suspects an internship candidate of embellishing

Did you know? A

ccording to the U.S. Census Bureau, only about onequarter of those working in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics, widely referred to as “STEM,” are women. The percentages of women working in STEM are even lower in Canada, where Statistics Canada notes the percentage of women working in STEM has increased from just 20 percent in 1987 to 22 percent in 2015. Perhaps in recognition of those statistics, numerous organizations are working to promote women in STEM. One such organization is the National Girls Collaborative Project (ngcproject.org), which works to bring together organizations throughout the United States that are committed to informing and encouraging girls to pursue careers in STEM. Another organization with similar goals is the Women in Engineering Proactive Network (wepan.org), which works to promote the inclusion of women in the field of engineering. Female students in high school or college who are interested in STEM fields should make their interest known to teachers or advisors; they can even contact certain organizations to learn about the opportunities and resources available to them.

her skills and experience now, that candidate might never get her foot back in the door. Tell the truth and express your excitement at any opportunity that allows you to apply classroom lessons in real world settings.

the right opportunities afford interns the chance to get professional experience and interact with working professionals. If an opportunity is largely or exclusively clerical, you might be better off continuing your search or volunteering with a firm.

Don’t accept just any internship. Not every internship is worth the effort. While interns may be asked to perform some menial tasks during their internships,

Young women looking for internships can take various steps to ensure they land the most beneficial opportunities available to them.
