Savvy Senior: How to find reliable health information online

Dear Savvy Senior,

How can I tell if the health info on a website is trustworthy? I usually do a Google search on a symptom, drug or health condition when I want to research something, but with so much information out there I’m not sure what I can trust.

Skeptical Sal

Dear Sal,

You’re wise to be skeptical! There’s an overwhelming amount of health advice on the internet today and it can be hard to tell what’s credible. To help you sort through the online clutter and locate reliable, trustworthy health information, here are a few tips to follow, along with some top-rated sites you can turn to with confidence.

SAVVY SEARCHING

First, know that Google or Bing is not always the best place to start a search. You’ll increase your odds of finding reliable health information if you begin with websites run by government agencies (identified by URLs ending in .gov), medical associations (often .org) or academic institutions (.edu).

Commercial websites (usually ending in .com), such as drug or insurance companies who may be trying to sell you their products, are usually not the most trustworthy options. To find out who’s sponsoring a site and where the information came from, click on the “About Us” tab on the site’s home page.

Also note that good health and medical information changes all the time so check the date that information was published to make sure it’s current.

Some other areas you need be wary of include online symptom checkers and artificial intelligence (AI) tools. While symptom checkers do offer potential diagnoses that could fit your set of symptoms, they are often inaccurate, and tend to err on the side of caution says Ateev Mehrotra, MD, professor of health care policy at Harvard Medical School. AI tools, like ChatGPT, can also be wrong or generate false but scientific sounding information.

You also need to be cautious about using medical information from social media, online forums or YouTube. Comments in these places may sound authoritative even if the authors have no medical training or expertise.

TOP HEALTH SITES

While there are many excellent websites that provide reliable health and medical information, one of the best all-purpose sites that’s recommended by Consumer Reports

for researching symptoms and conditions is MedlinePlus (medlineplus.gov).

A service of the National Library of Medicine, the world’s largest medical library, and part of the National Institutes of Health, MedlinePlus provides high-quality, trustworthy health and wellness information that’s easy to understand and free of advertising.

Here are a few additional websites, recommended by the Medical Library Association and others, to help you find reliable information on specific diseases, conditions and treatments.

Cancer: National Cancer Institute (cancer. gov), American Cancer Society (cancer.org) and National Comprehensive Cancer Network (nccn. org).

Heart disease: American Heart Association (americanheart.org), National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (nhlbi.nih.gov).

Diabetes: American Diabetes Association (diabetes.org).

Alzheimer’s disease: Alzheimer’s Association (alz.org) and Alzheimers.gov.

Public health and vaccines: Center for Disease Control and Prevention (cdc.gov).

Alternative medicine: National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (nccih. nih.gov) and the National Institutes of Health’s Office of Dietary Supplements (ods.od.nih.gov).

Any research you do online before seeing a doctor, be sure to save or print your findings out on paper, including the site you got your information from, so you can review it together. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

Burn ban in place

Submitted

A burn ban for unincorporated Pierce County is effective until further notice.

The Pierce County Fire Marshal, in partnership with the Pierce County Fire Chiefs’ Association, has declared the burn ban. This is due to the expectation of warmer, drier days becoming more common and resulting in fires starting more easily and posing a greater threat to people and property.

The burn ban applies to all land clearing and outdoor burning of yard debris in unincorporated Pierce County. This ban does not apply to small recreational fires in established fire pits at approved campgrounds or private property with the owner’s permission. The use of gas, propane, charcoal or pellet self-contained stoves, smokers and barbecues are allowed.

Recreational fires must:

• Be built in a metal or concrete fire pit, such as those typically found in designated campgrounds; and not used as debris disposal.

• Grow no larger than three feet in diameter.

• Be in a clear spot free from any vegetation for at least ten feet in a horizontal direction, including at least 25 feet away from any structure and allow 20-foot vertical clearance from overhanging branches.

• Be always attended by an alert individual and equipment capable of extinguishing the fire like hand tools and a garden hose attached to a water faucet that is on, or not less than two, five-gallon buckets of water.

• No burning when winds exceed 5 mph.

• This ban only applies to residents in unincorporated Pierce County. For residents of incorporated Pierce County cities and towns, please contact your local jurisdiction for requirements.

This ban does not apply to setting off legal fireworks in unincorporated Pierce County during the allowed discharge times. Please see the Pierce County Fire Prevention Bureau’s website for additional information at www.piercecountywa.gov/fpb.

The burn ban in 2023 was declared June 6 and ended Oct. 3.

If you have an approved Department of Natural Resources (DNR) burn permit and/ or your property falls under the jurisdiction of the DNR, you are advised to call 1-800323-BURN for more information.

Eatonville’s Meyer and Volk eliminated in opening round of state tennis

By Skip Smith Contributing Writer

Eatonville High School’s Alayna Meyer and Isabel Volk faced a tough opening round at the WIAA 1A State Tennis Tournament last weekend at the Yakima Tennis Club, ultimately falling to a seasoned Naches Valley team with scores of 3-6, 1-6.

Coach Alex Christensen expressed pride in the team’s performance this season despite the early exit.

“Overall, I am very proud of our team this year. Last year, we had 18 firstyear players. This year we still only had one player with more than two years’ experience playing tennis. We were 11-4 as a team, just losing to White Salmon and undefeated Stevenson. We should have a strong, competitive team next year as well with 11 seniors, including all five of our

Noble, Ciana Hover, and Kelani Monserrate also put forth a commendable effort, finishing 11th in the preliminaries.

Head Coach Geoff Olson expressed his pride in the team's achievements and optimism for the future.

district players returning,” Christensen said.

Reflecting on Meyer and Volk’s season, Christensen highlighted their resilience and determination.

“Our two state players, Alayna Meyer and Isabel Volk, played their hearts out all season. They were undefeated in threeset matches, which routinely go over two hours in length. Most dramatically, they did this when they beat White Salmon at districts 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 to earn their ticket to state. They would just continue to compete and outwork their opponents. We are excited to have both Alayna and Isabel return next season and build off of this success and make a longer run next year,” he added.

Despite their first-round elimination, Meyer and Volk's efforts and the overall team’s promising season have set a strong foundation for future successes.

Association of WA Business endorses two of three initiatives on the fall ballot

By Brett Davis

The Center Square

The board of directors of the Association of Washington Business – the state’s oldest and largest business association – has endorsed two of three initiatives on this November’s ballot.

AWB’s board has voted to endorse Initiative 2109, repealing the state’s capital gains tax, and Initiative 2124, allowing employees and self-employed individuals to opt out of coverage under WA Cares, the state’s mandatory long-term care insurance program.

The board voted to remain neutral on Initiative 2117, repealing the state’s Climate Commitment Act that limits greenhouse gas emissions via a cap-andtrade program.

“Washington is a highcost state for employers, but the lack of an income tax has historically been a competitive advantage,” AWB President Kris Johnson said in a news release. “When lawmakers chose to implement a capital gains tax, we lost one of our key advantages and moved a step closer to an income tax, which Washingtonians have repeatedly rejected. We hope voters will say yes to I-2109 and support tax policies that make it easier, not harder, to start and grow in business in Washington.”

In 2021, the Legislature passed and Gov. Jay Inslee signed into law a capital

gains income tax aimed at the state’s wealthiest residents. The measure assesses a 7% tax on capital gains above $250,000 a year, such as profits from stocks or business sales.

A lawsuit challenged the tax's constitutionality, but in March 2023, the state Supreme Court held that it was constitutional.

Johnson also had harsh words for WA Cares, a first-of-its-kind universal long-term care insurance program funded by worker contributions that became law in 2019.

“Lawmakers made some critical changes to the original long-term care insurance program in 2021 that made it problematic, including removing the option for people to opt out of the state program when they acquire private insurance,” Johnson said. “Employers have tried to work with legislators to fix the program but have been unsuccessful. We think people should have the choice to opt out of a program they may never use.”

The WA Cares payroll tax – 58 cents on every $100 earned – was supposed to kick in Jan. 1, 2022, but that plan was derailed by, among other things, lawmakers concerned about people paying into the program who would not be eligible to receive benefits.

In late January of that year, Inslee signed House Bill 1732, delaying both the

“This was a very good season. We had a ton of great things happen this year with all the new talented freshmen. It really is going to carry us into the 2A classification next year. I'm looking forward to all the success it will bring,” Olson said.

As the Eatonville High

School track team looks ahead to moving up to the 2A classification, the experiences and successes from this season provide a solid groundwork. The athletes’ dedication, hard work, and achievements this year set the stage for even greater accomplishments in the future.

GIRLS TENNIS

The girls tennis team had a strong season with an 11-4 record, finishing 3rd in league play. The doubles duo of Alayna Meyer and Isabel Volk qualified for the state tournament. Individual honors include:

Eatonville School District end-of-year updates

As we reach the end of another successful school year, I want to take a moment to reflect on our collective achievements and express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone in our Eatonville School District community. This year has been a testament to what we can accomplish together, and I am proud to share several key highlights.

Jay Bowers

COMPLETION OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN

Our strategic plan, which will guide our educational decisions over the next five years, has been completed thanks to the tireless efforts and invaluable input of our staff members, community members, students, and parents. This comprehensive plan truly reflects the values and priorities of our Eatonville School District family. Your dedication ensures that our strategic direction aligns with the needs and aspirations of our entire community, and I am deeply grateful for your contributions.

SUCCESSFUL PASSAGE OF SCHOOL FUNDING MEASURES

I am thrilled to report that, with your overwhelming support, we have successfully passed crucial school funding measures. These measures will provide the imperative funding necessary to continue offering valuable educational programs and opportunities for all Eatonville students, both during the school day and in extracurricular activities. Your trust in our vision and commitment to our students' futures is profoundly appreciated.

The board was more circumspect with regard to the CCA and its emissions trading program to put a limit on pollution by requiring emitters to obtain “emissions allowances” equal to their covered greenhouse gas emissions that can be obtained via auctions hosted by the state Department of Ecology.

“Our members overwhelmingly agree the Climate Commitment Act has challenges and needs reform, but there is a range of opinion about whether it would be better to repeal the program or continue to address

BUILDING FRUITFUL PARTNERSHIPS

This year, we have strengthened our partnerships with local businesses, community leaders, community service organizations, and local and regional government. We have also received generous support from Washington State through grants. These collaborations have created a robust network that supports our schools and enhances the educational experience of our students. These partnerships have brought additional resources and opportunities, preparing our students for future success both academically and in the workforce. The dedication of our community leaders and the support from various organizations have been instrumental in building a stronger educational environment for our students.

ADDRESSING STUDENT TRANSPORTATION CHALLENGES

Transportation is a vital aspect of our students' daily lives, and we faced significant challenges in ensuring safe and reliable transportation for all. Through the collaborative efforts of our transportation department, staff, and community members, we have successfully addressed and resolved many of these issues. Your patience, feedback, and support have been instrumental in overcoming these challenges.

ENGAGING COMMUNITY FORUMS

We have held several community forums this year to gather feedback and address key issues such as

the issues with the existing program,” Johnson explained. “After much discussion, our board decided to remain neutral on this initiative.”

The three initiatives on the November ballot were part of a package of six initiatives submitted to the Legislature this session by the voter advocacy group Let’s Go Washington. The three initiatives not on the ballot – lifting restrictions on police vehicle pursuits, prohibiting income taxes, and establishing a “bill of rights” for parents of K-12 students – were passed by the Legislature and go into effect next month.

In the meantime, supporters and opponents of the three initiatives on the fall ballot are making their case to voters in the five months remaining before the Nov. 5 general election.

student transportation, school funding measures, civility, and the implementation of Capital Project facility priorities. The active participation and valuable insights provided by parents, staff, and community members during these forums have been crucial in shaping our policies and initiatives. Your engagement ensures that we continue to move forward in a manner that best serves our students and community.

RECENT DEMONSTRATION OF HEART CHALLENGE

The Kids Heart Challenge event was a tremendous success across participating schools, showcasing the commitment of our students to support children with heart issues and challenges. With a total of 252 students registered online, numerous families engaged in learning Hands-Only CPR, and a combined fundraising effort resulting in $14,280 raised, this initiative made a significant impact in promoting heart health and saving lives. Eatonville School District notably set a new record, being the first district in all of Western Washington to have all elementary schools participate in the challenge.

WES: 55 students registered online, 8 families learned HandsOnly CPR, and $3,643 was raised to

help save lives!

EES: 133 students registered online, 29 families learned HandsOnly CPR, and $7,114 was raised to help save lives, setting a new record at Eatonville Elementary!

CCA: 64 students registered online, 24 families learned HandsOnly CPR, and $3,523 was raised to help save lives!

Our students’ dedication to this cause is truly inspiring, and their efforts have made a tangible difference in the lives of many children and families.

LOOKING AHEAD

As we look forward to the next school year, I am excited about the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. We remain committed to fostering an environment where every student is known, valued, and supported. With the continued support of our dedicated staff, engaged parents, and supportive community, I am confident that we will achieve even greater success in the years to come.

Thank you once again for your unwavering support and commitment to the Eatonville School District. Together, we are building a brighter future for our students.

Wishing you a wonderful summer!

Dorathy Wynn Smith, lifelong Washington State resident, passed away May 9, 2024, in Moses Lake, WA at the age of 73. She was born November 08, 1950, in Eatonville, Washington to Orval F. Smith and Williane H. Smith (Wehmhoefer), the second oldest of 3 children. She graduated from Eatonville High School in 1969. She was raised on a farm and dreamed of becoming a veterinarian. Her love of animals continued throughout her life. Dorathy experienced great love and loss throughout life, early on learning to live a life of extraordinary selflessness and dedication to all, especially her children. Rather than attend college, Dorathy chose to care for her mother living with chronic kidney disease until she passed away 5 days prior to Dorathy giving birth to her own second child while caring for her eldest son, 3 years old. Dorathy was a hardworking daughter and parent, loyal to her children, family, friends, and her employers She worked often 2 and 3 jobs to provide. This afforded her the opportunity to achieve homeownership, providing a stable and healthy home for her children in 1986 while living in Port Orchard, Washington. She served 28 years in her longtime career with the Washington State Liquor Control Board and moved to the community of Moses Lake, Washington in 1997 as a store manager, until she retired early in 2012. She continued to live in Moses Lake with her 2 adult children, who chose to call this home along with her. Dorathy appreciated the beautiful area, weather, and community of Moses Lake and was an active participant of the local Eagle’s Club from which she enjoyed helping at the Grant County Fair each summer, and traveling to Winnemuca, Nevada with members and friends 2 times a year for many years until her chronic kidney disease and other health issues made participating in these activities to difficult. She loved to travel with family and friends on camping trips to Moclips and Ocean Shores, Washington. Throughout life she was a fan of Daytona racing, fishing, camping, animals, reading, puzzles, country music, and time with friends and family. From 1992 until 1995, Dorathy and a former spouse owned and ran State Central Speedway in Ephrata, Washington where she actively embraced the community within and around the racetrack. Dorathy had 2 children of whom she was a devoted mother and was blessed with her only two grandchildren of whom she was able to continue to show her loving dedication until the moment she fell asleep in death.

Mom was the strongest, most enduring, patient, and loving person we knew. She had a beautiful smile and infectious laugh. We are grateful for her and all her dedicated love. Prior to her death, Dorathy studied with Jehovah’s Witnesses with whom she developed a love of God and hope for the promised resurrection to come. We yearn for the day Jehovah God and Jesus Christ resurrect her so that we may be with her for all time.

Dorathy was preceded in death by her parents, Orval and Williane, older brother William Russell Zaikawsky, and his son William Rusty Zaikawsky of whom Dorathy was close to until they passed. She is survived by her son Randall Steven Smith, daughter Elizabeth Williane Kraft (Smith), sonin-law Matthew P. Kraft, granddaughter Micah Wynn Cruz, grandson Cameron John Cruz, sister Suzanne O. Cunningham (Smith), beloved cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends: also leaving behind 3 beloved cats (Smokey,

Your salad needs fruit

by Lynda Balslev

When stone fruit is in season, it's time to indulge. There's no denying the joy of slurpy bites of juicy fresh peaches, nectarines and plums -- but also consider applying fire and heat.

When stone fruits are roasted and grilled, their sugars caramelize, they soften and their flavors are amplified, adding winey, syrupy sweetness and a hint of char to desserts, salsas and salads.

Make this salad with grilled peaches or nectarines. Accompany them with ingredients that complement and contrast their tangy sweetness. In this salad, peppery arugula, an oozy, creamy burrata and crunchy pistachios balance and enhance the fruit. If you eat meat, you can also add salty shards of oven-crisped prosciutto.

The dressing for this salad is a light vinaigrette, which is freshened with honey

and lemon so as not to overpower the ingredients, but complement the fruit and greens.

GRILLED PEACH AND MOZZARELLA SALAD

Active time: 20 minutes

Total time: 20 minutes

Yield: Serves 4

Dressing:

▶ 2 tablespoons champagne or white balsamic vinegar

▶ 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

▶ 1 tablespoon honey

▶ 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

▶ Pinch of kosher salt

▶ 3 to 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted

▶ Olive oil

▶ 4 cups arugula, about 3 ounces

▶ 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint leaves, plus more for garnish

▶ 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chervil, plus more for garnish

▶ 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

▶ 1 (8-ounce) burrata or fresh mozzarella, torn in bite-size chunks

▶ 2 tablespoons unsalted pistachios, coarsely chopped

▶ Freshly ground black pepper

▶ Whisk the dressing ingredients in a small bowl. If using a grill, lightly brush the cut sides of the peaches with olive oil to prevent sticking. Place face down on a griddle or on the grill grates over direct medium heat. Grill until marked and slightly softened, about 3 minutes. If using an oven, place cut sides up in a pan and broil until charred, about 2 minutes.

▶ Transfer the peaches to a cutting board. Brush with some of the dressing, then cut in half to create 6 to 8 wedges.

▶ Place the arugula in a wide serving bowl. Add the mint, chervil and lemon zest. Lightly drizzle

with some of the dressing and toss to coat (you will add more dressing before serving). Arrange the peaches and the burrata on the salad. Scatter the pistachios and additional mint and chervil over the salad. Drizzle with more

dressing and add black pepper to your taste and serve.
