Road Salt Means Safe Roads (BPT) - State and municipal departments of transportation are gearing up their winter maintenance plans to prepare for snow and ice. In addition to plows, road salt is an important tool to keep roads clear. Every year these agencies stockpile sufficient salt to last the winter season and store it in strategically placed barns. "Snowfighters" (those responsible to clear snow from roadways) are out in force in salt trucks before snow and ice is expected. They pretreat the roads with salt brine, a mix of road salt and water. This brine sticks to the road surface and helps prevent ice from forming in the first place, making winter travel safer. And the safety issue is a substantial one. Statistics from the U.S. Department of Transportation show that there are about 115,000 people injured every year on snowy, slushy or icy pavements and more than 1,600 people killed each year on winter roads. The good news is that a Marquette University study showed that a good winter maintenance program that uses road salt reduces accidents on winter roads by about 88 percent and can reduce injuries by up to 85 percent.
January 17, 2018
A key goal for many agencies is tracking their winter maintenance actions in great detail and ensuring that their actions are optimized to meet their goal of safe roads for the driving public. In Idaho, for example, new salt-spreading units allow them to track how much salt they apply to the road, and other sensors allow them to check that the road is responding as expected to the salt application, and is not getting slippery. This also helps reduce costs. They have seen a 29 percent reduction in annual winter maintenance costs since introducing Care for the environment is also a the new technology. key issue in safe and sustainable snowfighting. Several studies Maintaining mobility is also a big have shown that when road salt concern, as people need to get is properly applied at the right to work or the grocery store and time and place to keep roadways kids need to get to school.

Protect your pets by bringing them home again safely (BPT) - From the moment you bring your pet home, they are a member of your family and you want to do everything you can to protect them from harm - including bringing them home safely if they get lost. Each year, 6-8 million pets are taken into U.S. animal shelters. Thankfully, with HomeAgain, more than 2 million pets have been safely reunited with their families. Dr. Linda Lord, DVM, MS, PhD, is a veterinarian who has done extensive research on reuniting lost pets and their families. She is one of the leading veterinarians who works on HomeAgain at Merck Animal Health. "I'm proud to be a part of the network that helps with these efforts. As a pet owner, a veterinarian and someone who has worked in lost pet recovery for 13 years, I know that taking the right first steps is critical to finding your pet. But even with all my experience, I was a bit frantic when I lost my own dogs, Sally and Charlie, who ran away from my house in the country. Sally was missing for four days, and Charlie was missing for five. Luckily, we had support from HomeAgain and they both made it home safely. I was aggressive in my search and learned a lot about what strategies

worked well and which ones aren't as effective." Dr. Lord shares tips on the steps you can take to be proactive and help bring your pet home safely and quickly: The pet microchip, recommended by veterinarians, is a simple, safe and affordable innovation. And it works. A pet microchip is a great start to helping to keep your pets safe and find them if he/she gets lost. But in your moment of need, only the services that HomeAgain provides offer the friendly voices of our full support network of Lost Pet Specialists, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and more than 2 million local pet rescuers to substantially increase the likelihood of a pet returning home. Every person in the HomeAgain process is committed to bringing pets home safely - from the call center representatives to your neighbors, who have signed up to be a PetRescuer and have the PetRescuers by HomeAgain app.
Without contact information, a microchip is significantly less effective. That's why the American Animal Hospital Association and the American Veterinary Medical Association encourage pet owners to check their pet's microchip information annually and keep it up-to-date. By doing this yearly, you increase your pet's chances of returning home if lost!
Dog Finder Tips When Your Pet Gets Lost It's also important to point out #1: Have your pet's microchip and/ that a microchip alone might or I.D. number written and readily not be enough: Only registered available. microchips give lost pets the best chance of returning home. In a #2: Act immediately. If you are study published in the Journal of registered with HomeAgain, the American Veterinary Medical contact your Lost Pet Specialist.

If your with their pet parent's contact pet is missing for less than an hour, information. try places they are used to.
#4: Look far from home. HomeAgain lost pet alerts are sent to an entire network of PetRescuers in your area, and are on the ready to help search for your pet. #5: Download the PetRescuers by HomeAgain app on iTunes or Google Play to help track the status of your Lost Pet Alert. #6: Make "Lost Pet" signs. Post "Lost Pet" signs within at least a 10-mile radius. If you have HomeAgain, your Lost Pet Specialist will help you create one and distribute it as well. #7: Call local shelters and veterinarians. If you are registered with HomeAgain, your lost pet's chip will be scanned and your Lost Pet Specialist will immediately be alerted to help bring them home to you!

Hi! My name is Tammy and I am a petite tortie girl a little over a year old. I love all the kitties here at the shelter, especially my good friend Hallie, who I have been showing the ropes and helping her to come out of her shell. I am still a little shy but with the right person and a little patience, in a quiet home with no small children, I am sure I will fit right in to your home. Will you be the special one to give me that chance? 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 Thursday 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.

• Get adequate sleep. Getting enough sleep provides recovery time. The National Sleep Foundation recommends that adults between the ages of 18 and 64 years of age get between seven and nine hours of sleep per night. The NSF recommends adults 65 and older get between seven and eight hours of sleep per night.
Muscle soreness can affect people from all walks of life. While exercise enthusiasts who work out several times per week may feel like they should be immune to muscle soreness, this potentially painful condition that can adversely affect quality of life can fell even • Don’t overdo it.

An average human loses about 200 head hairs per day. Volunteer ‘Elves’ wrapping gifts
PinkHippy.org Holiday Shopping Events OXFORD, MA. - PinkHippy.org hosted two free Holiday Shopping events for local cancer patients and their families recently, one was held at Saint Vincent Cancer & Wellness Center in Worcester and another at the American Legion in Oxford. The event assisted 41 families from 15 towns throughout the MA and CT region. Players along with the coaching staff of the Holy Cross Women’s Volleyball team joined PinkHippy. org volunteers to provide an afternoon of warmth, smiles, holiday music, and good cheer while acting as personal shopping elves. They helped patients
currently undergoing treatment as they perused a vast assortment of gift items and made their selections. The ‘elves’ wrapped the gifts as their ‘shoppers’ rested while enjoying hot cider and cookies. This event, which was provided at no cost to those attending, was made possible through the generous donations of new merchandise from Charming Charlie stores, small local shops, and individuals. Walmart provided wrapping paper, gift bags and other holiday essentials. PinkHippy.org is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides integrative therapies and services, at no cost to cancer patients, in southcentral New England. For more information visit www.pinkhippy.org.
