Combatting periodontitis
The News & The Guide
If the gums bleed when brushing one's teeth or biting into an apple, it could be periodontitis, an inflammatory disease of the periodontal apparatus. Bacterial plaque attacks the bones, and over time, the tooth could loosen. Leaving the disease untreated can lead to tooth loss. Periodontitis, also known as periodontal disease or "shrinking gums," is a source of disease for the entire body. If highly aggressive bacteria make their way into the blood circulation, they could cause additional damage. Medical studies highlight the interaction between periodontal disease triggers and various diseases like cardiopulmonary disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Evidence shows that the affected patient has an elevated risk of cardiovascular constriction, as well as Alzheimer's. According to the World Health Organization, around 60 percent of all adults suffer from gum inflammation and are in need of treatment. It is extremely important to brush twice a day, floss every day, and see your dentist twice a year.

“7 DED-ly Sins� of Diabetic Eye Disease
The number of diabetes and pre-diabetes cases continues to climb. And with that, so does the number of cases of diabetic eye disease. According to a recent study from Prevent Blindness, the estimated number of diabetic retinopathy cases in 2014 is currently more than 8 million and projected to increase to close to 11 million by 2032. Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in the United States. Early symptoms may include blurred vision; fluctuation in the clarity of vision; sudden loss of vision, specifically following coughing or sneezing; and seeing floaters or “cobwebsâ€? in the field of vision. Diabetics are 40 percent more likely to develop glaucoma and 60 percent more likely to develop cataracts than those without diabetes. Early detection and treatment of diabetes can help prevent vision impairment and blindness. In a recent survey, one in five adults reported knowing someone who has either lost sight or is currently losing their eyesight to diabetes. This survey was conducted online within the United States on behalf of Prevent Blindness on Sept. 23, 2014 among 1000 U.S. adults ages 18 and older. Prevent Blindness Iowa has declared November as Diabetic Eye Disease Awareness Month to help educate the public on diabetes prevention strategies, potential risk factors, treatment options and Medicare coverage policies. As part of the efforts, Prevent Blindness Iowa warns the public against the “7 DED-ly Sinsâ€? of diabetic eye disease (DED) including: • Those with diabetes not visiting an eye doctor annually • Not maintaining a healthy weight • Decreasing physical activity • Failing to monitor blood sugar levels • Not maintaining a healthy blood pressure • Smoking • Not getting a dilated eye exam if you become or plan to become pregnant For more information on diabetic eye disease, please call Prevent Blindness Iowa at 515244-4341/800-329-8782, or visit preventblindness.org/diabetes.
Five dietary habits of healthy kids
With so much information available about kids’ nutrition – what to eat, how to supplement and more – it’s hard to get a firm grasp on what it takes to raise a healthy child. Here are five important tips parents should follow: 1. Look to MyPlate to fill your plate – MyPlate is an updated guide to nutrition from the USDA and First Lady Michelle Obama - think of it as the new Food Guide Pyramid. 2. Decorate your plate – Create a colorful plate of salads with spinach, strawberries and blueberries or other fruits and veggies for meal and snack times. 3. Sport a milk mustache – Children need two-to-three glasses of calcium-rich milk or yogurt each day. 4. Eat your ABCs –According to recent research, though, kids are not getting enough of vitamins D, E or A as well as the omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA. 5. Fill the gaps – An age-appropriate, well-formulated multivitamin and mineral supplement provides extra insurance that your little one is getting all the nutrients he or she needs.
Regional Medical Center reaches Capital Campaign goal Submitted by RMC Regional Medical Center (RMC) in Manchester announced that its capital campaign, Together We Can, has reached its goal. Residents, philanthropic leaders, businesses, hospital board members, physicians, hospital employees, and Auxilians helped reach the $1.5 million campaign goal, which will be used for facility expansion. “Regional Medical Center is extremely grateful for the support from community members. The cost of this expansion is approximately $20 million. But with the amazing generosity of so many people, the amount we will need to finance is significantly less,� stated System and Fund Development Director Mike Briggs.

Flu fighters: Busting sickening flu myths Ready for this year's flu season? You may think you know a lot about influenza (flu) prevention and treatment - but being wrong about the flu can make you downright ill. Here are six myths about the flu, and the truth behind them. Myth 1: Cold weather can give you the flu. Fact: Although flu cases commonly peak in January or February, and the "season" usually lasts from early October to late May, it is possible to get the flu at any time of year. During cold weather, people are inside in confined spaces for greater amounts of time. This, combined with bringing germs home from work or school, creates more opportunities for flu to spread. Myth 2: If you had a flu shot, you can't get sick. Fact: It takes about two weeks for the flu vaccination to fully protect you, and you could catch the virus during that time, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Since the flu vaccine protects against specific strains expected to be prevalent in any given year, it is also possible to be exposed to a strain not covered by the current vaccine. Finally, the vaccine may be less effective in older people or those who are chronically ill. Myth 3: Once you have treated a surface with a disinfectant, it is instantly flu free. Fact: Disinfectants do not work instantly to kill germs on surfaces. In fact, some antibacterial cleaners can take as long as 10 minutes to work. And they have to be used correctly. First, clean the surface and then spray it again, leaving it wet for the time specified on package directions. Anything less and you may not kill the flu virus, exposing yourself and others to illness. The flu virus can live up to 24 hours on surfaces such as counters, remote controls, video game controllers, door knobs and faucets. Use a household cleaner that disinfects to clean these high-touch surfaces.

Living well with Buchanan County Health Center Do you have control?
Myth 4: You got vaccinated last year, so you do not need a shot this year. Fact: Like all viruses, flu viruses are highly adaptable and can change from year to year. Also, the strains vary each year, so the vaccination you got last year may not be effective against the flu that is active this year. In fact, it most likely will not be effective. The CDC recommends that people who are eligible for the vaccine get a flu shot by early October. Myth 5: You got the flu shot, wash your hands frequently and disinfect religiously - you have eliminated your risk of flu exposure. Fact: We do not live or work in sterile environments. Germs are brought home every day on items like bags, cell phones, notebooks, shoes - even clothes. If someone in your home gets sick, cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue, and discard in the trash right away. Wash hands often with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Germs spread through touch, so avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Myth 6: Getting the flu is not that big of a deal. Fact: It could be. Last year was the worst flu season since 2009, and during the week of Jan. 6-12, more than 8 percent of all deaths nationwide were attributable to flu and flurelated pneumonia. In addition to making you miserable, flu can make existing medical conditions worse, lead to sinusitis and bronchitis - even pneumonia. Bottom line: if you are not feeling well, avoid making yourself and others around you sick by staying home.

Incontinence affects more than 15 million people in the United States alone. For many reasons, and especially those affected by it, it can be a difficult issue to discuss or deal with. Those affected may fear an accident and modify activities, or even choose to stay home more frequently. The condition of urinary incontinence is the involuntary loss of urine. This condition is frequently not reported due to embarrassment or the belief that it is normal after childbirth or with aging. However, behavioral techniques can significantly control and even cure some types of urinary incontinence. Pelvic pain syndromes can include SI joint pain and low back pain. Pelvic muscle dysfunctions can aggravate the pain and incontinence symptoms. Chronic urinary frequency, weak stream, and constipation can alter the motor patterns of the pelvic musculature. Behavioral modifications and therapy can assist in retraining these muscles. Physical therapy offers a non-invasive approach to manage these symptoms. Patients are educated on pelvic floor muscles, factors that lead to incontinence, and lifestyle changes that can be made to reduce symptoms. Patients will be given a home exercise program and may be treated with biofeedback. Biofeedback uses electrodes to sense the person’s muscle activity. The patient will be able to see how much the muscles are working with different actions and exercises. This tool also allows the therapist to see how the patient’s muscles are coordinating and their relative strength to each other. Patients can expect to be seen for treatment at a frequency of one timer per week for an average of 4-6 visits. Many factors such as length of time with symptoms and severity of those symptoms may change the expected duration of care. Patients will have rechecks with the therapist and have their activities modified based upon the results seen and reported. Similar programs have seen a significant difference in symptoms in 85% of patients within only 2 weeks of treatment!

Is vision loss inevitable with age? The answer may surprise you Eighty-three percent of U.S. adults believe their eyesight will worsen as they age, no matter what preventive steps they take, according to a recent DSM Nutritional Products survey. While genetics and lifestyle factors do play a role for some serious eye conditions that cause vision loss such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), years of proper nutrition may protect vision in the long term. More than two million Americans age 50 and older suffer from AMD, and it is especially prevalent among Caucasian women. "You don't want to reach your 40s and realize that you're beginning to have vision problems," says Dr. Kimberly Reed, optometrist and Ocular Nutrition Society board member. "Following a few simple recommendations can help support your vision - and your family's vision now and in the future." Reed offers these tips for maintaining eye health and supporting vision in the long term: 1. See your diet in color Many brightly colored fruits and vegetables contain lutein and zeaxanthin, two powerful antioxidants that research shows are beneficial in maintaining macular health. Intake of 12 mg per day of lutein and zeaxanthin offers the best protection, but only 10 percent of Americans are getting enough of these essential nutrients, according to the American Optometric Association. For weekly meal planning this year, choose colorful fruits and vegetables that provide these important antioxidants, like spinach, kale, and other dark leafy greens, as well as corn, peas, broccoli, and orange and red peppers. 2. Omega-3 fatty acids for eye health A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that people with higher intakes of omega-3 fatty acids may experience a lower incidence of dry eye syndrome (DES). For patients who suffer regularly from dry

eyes, omega-3 intake can significantly improve symptoms and increase quality tear production. Adults should get at least 1,500 mg per day of DHA and EPA either by consuming fatty fish, such as salmon, mackerel, and sardines, or taking high-quality fish oil and algae supplements. Be sure to check with your physician if you are taking medications that affect blood clotting before increasing your intake of omega-3s to this level. For women who are pregnant or nursing, DHA is an essential nutrient to support infant visual development. 3. Remember your vitamins and minerals An array of vitamins and minerals also play an important role in maintaining eye health. For instance, A and B vitamins perform many complex and critical functions throughout the body, including the eyes. And, according to a study published in Ophthalmology, vitamins C and E, which function as antioxidants, are also essential to eye health and have been shown to impact the progression of certain forms of AMD. Finally, zinc helps deliver vitamin A from the liver to the retina in order to produce melanin, a protective pigment in the eyes. Get your fill of at least five servings of colorful fruits and vegetables, as well as nuts and legumes, per day to obtain these essential vitamins and minerals. Even when striving to follow an optimal diet, it's difficult to get the recommended amounts of essential vitamins and nutrients from food alone, so nutritional supplements can play an important role in maintaining eye health. Several products specifically formulated to support eye health and vision are available, so ask your eye health professional at your next appointment.

Insurance Companies Legally Rip-Off Iowa Injured Workers By . . .
Yes, insurance companies can legally pay you less thaQ what you are owed and do not have to tell you the truth.

Myth No. 1: An aerobic workout boosts your metabolism all day. Wrong, it just burns calories while you are doing it. Muscle-strengthening exercises, however, will burn calories long after your workout. Myth No. 2: If you do not break a sweat, it is not a workout. Wrong, sweat is just the body's way of cooling itself. A better reflection of effort is the talk test: your workout is moderate if you can talk, but not sing, and vigorous if you need to take a breath every few words. Myth No. 3: You should stretch before you exercise. No, you could hurt yourself. Better to stretch after you are warmed up with light, smooth movement of gradually increasing intensity. Myth No. 4: Frozen fruits and vegetables are less healthy than fresh ones. Actually, they are both healthy. Frozen fruits and vegetables are generally picked and frozen at nutritional peak. Canned can be a fine choice if you are watching your budget. Avoid fruits packed in syrup. Myth No. 5: Cigars and chewing tobacco are safe because you do not inhale. This is another myth. Cigar smokers have higher rates than nonsmokers of death from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and are four to 10 times more likely to die from cancers of the throat, mouth, lips, larynx and esophagus, according to the American Cancer Society. People who chew tobacco are more likely to develop oral cancers that affect the tongue, lips, cheeks and gums. Myth No. 6: Stress happens. There is nothing you can do about it. Not true, stress does not have to overwhelm you. There are several approaches to managing it. Set priorities and tackle simple problems first. Then move on to complex difficulties. Practice relaxation exercises.
Five ways massage therapy can improve health
Massage therapy can play an important role in your health regimen. Here are five ways massage may improve health and wellness. 1. Lower stress. The longterm effects of stress can take emotional and physical tolls. Massage therapy may relieve stress and conditions associated with it, such as tension headaches. 2. Increase immune function. Medical research indicates that massage therapy can help boost immune system strength by increasing the activity level of the body’s natural “killer T cells,” which fight off viruses. 3. Boost mental health and wellness. Research suggests that symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression (all associated with mental health) may be directly affected with massage therapy. 4. Manage pain. Pain can negatively affect a person’s quality of life and impede recovery from illness or injury. Recent findings highlight the role of massage in pain management. 5. Improve physical fitness. Elite and recreational athletes alike can benefit from massage therapy—massage can reduce muscle tension, improve exercise performance and prevent injuries

or salmon over oil-packed tuna or salmon, chicken and turkey sausage over pork sausage and lean ground turkey and beef over high-fat options. *Use herbs, flavored powders (like garlic powder), citrus (like lemon juice) and heat (like red pepper or hot sauces) over extra salt. *Instead of frying, bake, roast or grill using a rub or marinade. *Use fresh or frozen vegetables over canned. *Remember - using low-fat or fat-free dairy products, olive oil, whole grains or lean meats doesn't mean unlimited portions. High-fat, high-sugar foods - such as comfort foods - illicit "feel good" hormones quicker than a plate of raw vegetables. To make holidays healthier, can add vegetables to a hearty dish. Many experts say that you don't have to give up your comforting favorites in order avoid weight gain. It just takes planning and portion control, and substitution of course.

Comfort foods remind us of home, warmth and family; they are often the creamy, rich and heavy everyday foods we had as children. Things like macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, and fried chicken may be soothing to the soul, but not to the waistline. "I happen to like my comfort foods just the way they are," jokes chef instructor Terra Ciotta of The International Culinary School at The Art Institute of Charlotte. "But around the holidays, many are making more mindful and healthier choices." If you are trying to reduce the holiday bulge, follow Chef Ciotta's equation of substitution equals reduction. For mashed potatoes, Ciotta purees steamed cauliflower, makes half the portion of her freshly mashed potatoes and folds the cauliflower puree into the mashed potatoes. For hearty spaghetti with meatballs, Ciotta reduces the ground beef portion and adds finely chopped sautéed mushrooms. Here are tips and simple guidelines. *Choose whole grains over refined: brown rice, whole grain bread, whole grain pasta instead of white rice, white bread or standard pasta. Whole grains digest more slowly, providing longer-lasting energy. *Use small amounts of olive oil instead of butter on grains or vegetables and to saute. A non-aerosol spray bottle can help use oil sparingly. *Choose low-fat or fat-free dairy products: skim or 1 percent milk, low-fat or fat-free yogurts, sour cream and cheeses - and reduce the amount. *Choose Canadian bacon or lean ham over bacon, wild-caught, fresh or water-packed tuna

Simple ways to bust winter blues
Shorter days, colder weather, icy roads, and less sunshine - winter can be a serious downer. It is not just in your head, either; 14 percent of Americans suffer from the winter blues and 6 percent have the more serious form of doldrums known as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), according to research published in the journal Psychiatry. The blues may make you cut back on social interaction, sleep more and engage in comfort eating - all actions that can make your depression worse. Instead, try busting winter blues by engaging with others and taking part in activities that exercise and soothe all five senses. Scent as a pick-me-up Apple pie, a holiday meal, vanilla or roses - almost everyone has at least one scent they associate with comfort and positive feelings. While humans' sense of smell is not nearly as acute as that of other mammals, research suggests that smell is directly tied to mood. In fact, at least one study published in the online journal Chemosensory Perception links poor olfactory function to mental disorders. And the ability of scent to positively influence mood is well documented. Using scent to combat winter blues can be as simple as adding mineral salts to your bathwater. You can also use essential oils to cheer the atmosphere in your home or office. Aromatherapy expert Aura Cacia offers a recipe for a bright, uplifting citrus air freshener you can easily make at home using their essential oils. Citrus is thought to dispel feelings of lethargy, and the clove and cinnamon are both stimulating and comforting. Let the sun shine in A lack of natural light during winter is closely associated with depression and SAD. Get outdoors and in the sun as much as possible. When inside, open curtains and blinds to admit sunlight and sit next to windows as much as possible. If you live in an area that just does not get much sunshine during the winter, or have an office without windows, consider using full-spectrum lights that mimic natural light. Surround yourself with colors and visuals that are uplifting. For example, if you love the tropics but a winter vacation isn't in the cards, set the screensaver on your PC or your smartphone's home screen to a tropical scene. Put a brightly colored comforter or quilt on
your bed. Treat yourself to fresh flowers for your home or office - they'll have the added bonus of stimulating your sense of smell as well. Sound advice The link between music and mood is well known. Surround yourself with uplifting sounds. While playing upbeat, summer-themed music is a good tactic, do not overlook other sources of positive sound. Schedule a weekly phone chat with your BFF, rather than just texting. Consider using an alarm clock that wakes you with natural sounds, such as birds chirping, a babbling stream, or even a thunderstorm. Try to fit in time each day to just enjoy silence. If your home or office is always an active place, break out the noise-cancelling headphones you use on a plane to give yourself some peace and quiet. A taste for happiness Over-eating and weight gain are commonly associated with SAD and milder winter blues. While over-indulging will only make you feel worse in the long run, it is possible to use taste to boost your mood without packing on the pounds. Researchers have found evidence that chemicals in certain foods, such as chocolate, some berries and teas, have a positive impact on mood, according to a report presented to the American Chemical Society. Fortunately, you don't need to increase your intake of chocolate to feel better about winter. Simply add some of these flavors to foods you already eat. Toss a handful of blueberries into your morning oatmeal, snack on trail mix that includes dried berries and some chocolate, and substitute tea for your afternoon coffee. Touch sensitive Scientists believe the sense of touch is the first to develop in the womb, and it's one of our most powerful, comforting senses. You can nourish your sense of touch in many ways, from choosing clothing that is soft, breathable and comfortable to spending quiet time stroking your pet's fur. Nourishing your sense of touch is also a great way to indulge in affirming human contact. Indulging in regular hugs with those you love will be a mood-booster for both of you.

What women should know about heart disease Millions of women around the country live with cardiovascular disease and may not know it. The consequences of being uninformed can be fatal. According to the National Coalition for Women With Heart Disease, heart disease is the leading cause of death in American women. More women die from heart disease than breast cancer in any given year, and the Public Health Agency of Canada says that heart disease is the leading cause of death among Canadian women over the age of 55. That's a frightening reality that might surprise some. There are a number of factors that can put a woman at risk for heart disease. * Hypertension: High blood pressure can exert extra stress on blood vessel walls and make them more likely to get clogged. * Cholesterol levels: Cholesterol in the blood can build up on the inside of blood vessels and lead to blockages that can cause a number of different problems. * Smoking: Women who smoke have a higher risk of heart attacks than nonsmoking women. Those who smoke and take birth control pills are at an even higher risk. * Obesity: The chance for heart disease increases with a woman's weight. Even losing a little bit of weight can help diminish the chance. * Diabetes: High blood sugar can damage the arteries that supply blood to the heart. * Family history: A woman with blood relatives who were diagnosed with heart disease is at a heightened risk of developing heart disease. * Lack of physical exercise: Inactivity can promote heart disease. Daily physical activity can go a long way to help the heart and prevent heart disease. Preventing heart disease Recognizing the risk factors for heart disease is just the

Simple steps people with diabetes can take to improve quality of life One of the ways people with diabetes can help manage their disease is balancing food with physical activity, according to the American Diabetes Association (Association). By maintaining a balanced diet with regular exercise, you have the ingredients needed to help live a quality life. There are many ways you can approach a balanced lifestyle and incorporate regular exercise. Here are five tips from the Association to help you get started: Create a healthy plate - It is easy to put together healthy meals when you use the diabetes plate method. Start with drawing an imaginary line down the middle of the plate. On one side, cut the section in half again. Fill the largest section with nonstarchy vegetables like green leafy vegetables, tomatoes, and
carrots. In one of the smaller sections, put grains and starchy foods, and put protein foods in the last section. Add a serving of fruit, a serving of dairy, or both as your meal plan allows. To complete your meal, add a low-calorie drink like water, unsweetened tea or coffee. Healthy snacks - When it comes to snacking, think beyond chips and cookies. There are better choices that will give you a nutrition boost and keep you feeling satisfied until your next meal. Some good ideas are small portions of fruit, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and low-fat dairy. Exercise and blood glucose - With diabetes, safely exercising while maintaining healthy blood glucose levels is important. Association recommends you have a plan on how to treat

hypoglycemia, especially if you have type 1 diabetes. Having a fast-acting carbohydrate like glucose tabs or glucose gel available during your exercise routine can help you to quickly treat hypoglycemia. Test your blood glucose levels (if prescribed) to see how different types of exercise affect you. Aerobic exercises - Aerobic exercise is important for everyone. For good health, it is recommended that you aim for 30 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous intensity aerobic exercise at least 5 days a week or a total of 150 minutes per week. Examples of aerobic exercises include brisk walking, biking, dancing, rowing, playing tennis, swimming and climbing stairs. These kinds of exercises help lower blood glucose, blood pressure and cholesterol. Aerobic exercise also makes your heart and bones strong, lowers stress and can improve blood circulation. Strength training is also important - Aim to do some type of strength training at least two times per week. Lifting weights or using weight machines, resistance bands and calisthenics are all great options. Strength training helps lower your blood glucose and builds stronger muscles and bones.

Can the power of positive thinking change your life? Positive people find success, good health, happiness, wealth and rewarding relationships throughout their lives. This is not because they are already successful, or because they are more confident, it is simply the attitude. The law of attraction is that positive thoughts lead to positive results. Your thoughts have the ability to define you and affect those around you. However, it may take years of patience and practice to change. Learn from the example of others. "Early leaders in the United States understood the true meaning of positive thinking," says Stanley Murphy, department chair for the School of Business and Management at Argosy University. "It is one aspect of the root of their success. Philip D. Armour, F.W. Woolworth, Thomas A. Edison, Marshall Field, Andrew Carnegie, Napoleon Hill and a host of other movers and shakers who participated in shaping our country in the early 20th century all understood these two powerful words: positive thinking." It is true that the most successful people throughout history have all recognized the power of positive thinking. Even Gandhi was a strong advocate of positive thinking. He is reported to

have said, "A man is but the product of his thoughts; what he thinks, he becomes." So what are some proven methods to developing mastery in positive thinking? Well for starters, believe that you can become a positive thinker. "Invest and commit yourself to your own personal development," suggests Murphy. "You must first believe in yourself. When you do, you will notice that others believe in you too. Examine how you are investing in yourself. Make note in your observation of yourself. See if your personal investments are constructive or destructive. If they are destructive, then try to eliminate them. If constructive, then perfect them." Consider the physical aspects as well. Try to incorporate the practice of daily meditation (a minimum of 20 minutes a day) suggests Murphy. "Take care of your body and it will take care of

you. Moderate exercise, balanced diet and adequate rest will keep you physically fit for your daily task." Also, try to be realistic. Everyone has down moments, and that's alright. "Positive attitude is more than the sum of your feelings at any particular moment. If a loved one passes away or you are facing a challenge that feels overwhelming at the moment, it doesn't mean that you're not a positive person," adds Salinas. "Positive people have every right to feel sad. It's even healthy to express those feelings from time-to-time. Just remember that those moments don't define us."

“No Such Thing as a Bad Kid� training held in Independence Building Direction for Families and Cedar Valley’s Promise hosted a training “No Such Thing as a Bad Kid� on Oct. 14, facilitated by Charlie Appelstein who spoke to an audience of 185 people from Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin. Attendees included social workers, foster parents, shelter staff, school staff, family support workers, mental health professionals, victim advocates and college students. Appelstein is a nationally prominent youth care specialist and author whose focus is on teaching positive, strengthbased theories and techniques to professionals who guide at-risk children and youth. His techniques focus on strength-building rather than flaw-fixing. Strength-based practice begins with the belief that every young person has or can develop strengths and use past successes to mitigate problem behavior and enhance functioning. Two approaches Appelstein stressed were reframing and positive predicting. Reframing is seeing and praising the positive, self-protective value in nega-
tive behaviors. For example, if a child is considered manipulative, reframing that behavior would convey that the child is good at getting his/her needs met. Positive predicting is talking about the future in positive terms. If a child says they want to pass their next math test, ask “How are you going to feel when that happens?â€? Not if that happens, but when that happens as if there is no other option. Appelstein believes misbehavior is a cry for help. He encouraged the audience to respond to the child rather than react to behavior. He offers techniques to help decode the message the misbehavior is sending and teaches the audience ways to respond that will empower the child and help fulfill their needs. Feedback from participants was positive. Carmen Stenger, middle and high school guidance counselor at Starmont, commented, “I left the day feeling reenergized about the work I do. It helped remind me of why I am passionate about my work ‌ it has also inspired me to
keep trying with a student whose behavior is sending the message that his needs aren’t being met.� Foster parent Jane Parker noted, “His explanation of dealing with the hurt child versus the normal child will be so very helpful as I foster children in my home. The importance of touch (a fist bump, a high five, a hand shake and a pat on the shoulder) to give kids the feeling of reward and compassion. The powerful tools of Reframing and Positive Predicting will be practiced daily in my home. I will remember that most children will be successful in school and in life if even just one person believes in them, gives them hope. Thanks Charlie!� Building Direction for Families (BDF) began as the local project for Buchanan, Delaware and Fayette Counties, receiving Empowerment status in 1999. In 2007 the BDF board incorporated with State of Iowa as a non-profit corporation.

State Treasurer announces College Savings Iowa’s sixth price reduction in the last decade
State Treasurer Michael L. Fitzgerald recently announced College Savings Iowa is once again reducing its fees. “In the last decade, we have had six price reductions, resulting in a 60% decrease in fees,� Fitzgerald said. “By consistently lowering fees over time, we are ensuring that more money stays in parents’ and grandparents’ accounts, growing along-side the children. The plan continues to be a great value for Iowans saving for future higher-education expenses.� The price reduction, effective Oct. 15, will bring the current annual asset-based fees of College Savings Iowa’s portfolios down from 0.28% to 0.26%. The program has 220,000 accounts established with an average plan account size of over $17,000. College Savings Iowa, created in 1998, offers families a taxadvantaged way to save money for their children’s higher education. It only takes $25 to open an account, and anyone can invest in College Savings Iowa on behalf of a child. Participants who are Iowa taxpayers can deduct contributions up to $3,098 per beneficiary from their 2014 adjusted gross income, and there are no income or residency restrictions.* For more information about College Savings Iowa, visit CollegeSavingsIowa.com or call 1-888-672-9116. *Adjusted annually for inflation. If withdrawals are not qualified, the deductions must be added back to Iowa taxable income. The availability of tax or other benefits may be contingent on meeting other requirements.
