• Single-family homes can be fueled by tanks of varying sizes, depending on demand. Smaller 100-gallon tanks provide energy for appliances, while 1,000+ gallon tanks can fuel very large homes with additional energy demands, such as swimming pools, hot tubs, outdoor kitchens, and patio lighting. Generally, 500-gallon tanks easily accommodate an average four-bedroom home.

A guide for health and well-being for you and your family.
Top Tips for Allergy Management (StatePoint) Allergy symptoms can lead to a major disruption in quality of life. And unfortunately, they affect a lot of people. Nearly 60 million Americans suffer from allergic rhinitis (also commonly known as hay fever), according to the American College of Allergy Asthma and Immunology. Luckily, many allergy sufferers are interested in learning more about what causes their allergies and how they can manage them. In fact, 70 percent of allergy sufferers say they wish they had a better understanding of the science behind their allergies, according to a recent survey of over 1,000 allergy sufferers in the US, which was sponsored by Sanofi Consumer Healthcare and conducted online using Toluna’s QuickSurveys methodology.
• Learn the Science behind Your Symptoms: When an allergy sufferer comes into contact with certain allergens, their body produces a variety of chemical responses that cause those symptoms that can make them feel miserable. According to the recent survey of allergy sufferers, more than half of them said histamine is the only chemical response to allergens that they are familiar with, but there are actually several -including leukotrienes, cytokines, prostaglandins and eosinophils. To relieve allergy symptoms, it’s important to stop these chemical reactions from taking place. • Visit the Allergy Aisle: Several prescription strength treatment options are available over-thecounter for the relief of allergy symptoms. For example, a nasal spray that is scent- and alcohol-free and provides 24-hour relief of nasal allergy symptoms like sneezing, itchy runny nose and congestion for adults and children two years of age and older.
This season, be proactive about your allergies. Educate yourself With that in mind, Sanofi is sharing about your triggers and make sure some helpful information and tips you have an effective treatment on for allergy sufferers to keep in mind hand to provide symptom relief. this season. • Know Your Triggers: Determine what allergens or “triggers” cause your symptoms, whether it’s pollen, pet dander, etc. While you may already have some idea of what triggers your symptoms, an allergist can give you a comprehensive check-up for a proper diagnosis. • Avoid Exposure: If pollen is one of your triggers, check the pollen count before planning that picnic. If it’s your furry friend giving you grief, spend some time vacuuming your rugs and furniture. Once you know your triggers, take steps to avoid or minimize them whenever possible.

Anthony Grzembski CLASS OF 2017
Hello, my name is Anthony Grzembski and I am a senior at Bartlett High School. I am a three sport athlete and am honored to be a member of Bartlett’s National Honor Society. I am currently enrolled in Mrs. Hoenig’s Marketing class for the second straight year and am also a member of DECA. Being in this class has taught me a lot about the business field and it turns out that this will be a major I am going to pursue in college. Without Mrs. Hoenig’s Marketing class I would have not known about the major and wouldn’t have
been able to apply certain things we learn in class to the real world. Also one thing I have improved upon greatly is public speaking. We have done numerous presentations in class and have also attended Nichols College for a public speaking conference. These presentations and conferences have helped me grow and feel more comfortable when speaking in front of large crowds. Some of my favorite memories at Bartlett have been beating an undefeated 21-0, Littleton baseball team as the last seed, winning the district finals,
Clark Tournament finals have 2 children, preferably and scoring 1,000 points in 2 boys, and have two dogs (a Husky and a German basketball. Shepherd). My job will My future plans involve hopefully involve coaching moving to someplace warm basketball at a high level such as South Carolina or or being an executive in a Florida and owning a house successful business. on the beach.

Hello, my name is Ghana and I am yet another handsome black kitty here at the shelter. I am still a bit shy but that’s only because of this big new place! I would do best with a cat experienced person. I am a young adult and I get along with other kitties but I have not had any exposure to dogs yet so I am not sure if I like them. No small children please! I am a BIG fluffy boy with gorgeous eyes with different shades of green. I like to think of myself as a catnip connoisseur... I love it so much! Please come and meet me at the shelter! The CCC is in need of supplies, especially litter (Scoop Away), bleach, laundry detergent, dry and wet cat and kitten food (Purina/Friskies), paper towels, trash bags, and treats! Any help is very much appreciated! We are located at 289 Thompson Road in Webster and are open Thurs day through Sunday 12pm-3:30pm. You can see more of our adoptable cats on Petfinder and Adopt-a-pet and we would love it if you would follow us and share our kitties on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com /pages/Community-Cat Connection/18375625177438.

Dropoff locations include Best Buy, The Home Depot, Lowe's, Sears, Staples, and many other retailers you may already visit regularly, making it easy to recycle on-the-go.

Tip 2: Bring your own water bottle. As the weather starts heating up, staying hydrated is more important than ever. Unfortunately, bottled water is a major contributor to landfill waste; Americans throw away more than 60 million plastic water bottles each day. To live greener, be sure to bring your own refillable water bottle. Tip 3: Trade out your charcoal. Barbecues are a favorite warmweather tradition for many, but most grilling charcoal emits high levels of carbon dioxide when burned. To reduce carbon emissions, swap out your charcoal grill for cleanerburning propane option. Their carbon footprint is about one-third of standard charcoal.
