Local entrepreneur promotes social good with WeCare Card by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com In November, Wabash native Jessica Weiss will be making big waves in the world of crowdfunding and prepaid cards with the release of the WeCare Card, a project she’s been working on for more than three years. The card will, for the first time, combine the two industries, allowing for donation-based crowdfunding campaigns to upload money raised directly to a prepaid Mastercard product. Jessica, who worked as a nurse in the neonatal intensive care unit for nearly 20 years, has long seen the struggles many families have as they try to balance urgent medical needs with everyday life. Primary among these struggles is, all too often, financial hardship. These struggles hit home when Jessica’s husband, Brad, was diagnosed with a brain aneurism in 2009. “When word got out that Brad was sick, a lot of the community, family, friends, churches rallied, and we got all kinds of gift cards, greeting cards, homecooked meals,” Jessica recalled. “I mean, the love and support from Wabash was amazing.” In the midst of this outpouring of support, Jessica recognized a central problem that many people in similar situations face. Her family was very grateful for help in any form, but often, the gifts could have been more useful in a different form. As was the case with the Weiss family, extended hospital stays and a series of doctor visits can make travel

and lodging as difficult for a family to pay for as the health insurance deductable itself. Jessica used the example of restaurant gift cards to explain the limitations that many run into. “Brad had his surgery at Cleveland Clinic Hospital,” said Jessica. “What if I really need money for my hotel or gas or those things? So that’s kind of how the WeCare Card was born and how I came up with the idea.” Jessica realized that there was a huge need for a more versatile “gift card.” At the same time, she recognized the growing success of crowdfunding, a (usually) internet-based means of financing startup companies, projects, products, and most important to Jessica, causes. As platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo found success raising money for business and art endeavors, platforms like GoFundMe and YouCaring grew as donation-based models for helping people in times of need. Through social media, donors could connect with causes and help people through difficult times. What these models accomplish in raising much-needed monetary support, they often lacked in convenience for the recipient. Sometimes, a campaign would have to be finished or a goal achieved before the money was received. Other times, donations were deposited into a personal bank account, making them hard to distinguish from other money, such as regular income. Perhaps most importantly, many crowdfunding platforms lacked a reliable verification process, causing some to question the

legitimacy of campaigns. “People see a link and they feel compelled to donate to a campaign,” said Chief Marketing Officer for WeCare Card Katharine Mobley. “Well, typically, unless you know that person, you really don’t know what you’re donating to. Being tied to a card, our verification process is much more in depth. It mitigates fraud at a whole new level that no one else is doing in the industry.” Mobley took the job as WeCare Card CMO in January of this year. After spending much of her career marketing national brands such as Dodge, Bank of America, Arby’s, Vitamin Water, and Coca-Cola, she received a call from Jessica in late 2013 regarding the WeCare Card. “It kept me awake at night. It made me realize that I could actually make an impact on something,” said Mobley. “I’ve done Super Bowl commercials and corporate responsibility of global brands. As much as it’s fun to work for a CocaCola…there’s a bit of hollowness to it, to a certain extent, when you’re at that level. So to build something from the ground floor up was something that was exciting to me.” As it turns out, a lot of people found the WeCare Card exciting. In addition to Mobley, Jessica has brought on several other big hitters in the business world. Phillip Qualls, now serving as WeCare Card CEO, is based out of Memphis and brings his knowledge in the area of financial technology to the team. Michele Sullender, was the vice presi-

dent of product development and marketing for Simon Property Group, owners of dozens of malls across the nation. She built and managed the Simon Giftcard Program and now has a similar title with WeCare Card. ABC Studios Vice President of Communication Janet Daily will provide direction from her position on the board of directors. “As I’ve gone through this for three years, the biggest question is, ‘why hasn’t anyone done this before?” Jessica said. “Ultimately, it’s a segue between the two industries that bridges a gap that was there before, just no one really saw it.” Mobley added. As the WeCare Card team works to finalize the card design, ensure approval of several patents, and draw in capital investment, all eyes are on Las Vegas in November for Money 20/20, “the leading global event for innovations in money.” It is there that the WeCare Card will officially make its debut. It will be the first crowdfunding platform tied directly to a prepaid card, and with a patent in place, the connection between these industries will be exclusive to WeCare Card. This will give it a huge advantage over other platforms in terms of convenience and credibility. In addition, they plan to “white label” the card, licensing the technology to other crowdfunding platforms, turning their competitors into customers. Crowdfunding exceeded $5 billion globally last year, and the prepaid industry is (continued on page 5)

Final signs installed along Wabash County Bike Trail by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com As you travel around the county, you may have noticed thin yellow signs with a bike and an arrow going up in many new locations. On Thursday, July 17, the last of 102 signs was fastened to its post outside Lagro to complete the 104-mile Wabash County Bike Trail. Years ago, the county mapped the

route for a bike trail based on features that cyclists look for in a route. The current route begins and ends at Paradise Spring Historical Park, taking cyclists along low-traffic roads past 17 historic points of interest from Lafontaine and Somerset to Roann and North Manchester. It also links Salamonie and Mississinewa reservoirs. “When riders come into a new area to

ride, they’re looking for certain types of pieces to a quality ride,” said Christine Flohr, executive director of tourism at the Wabash County Convention and Visitor’s Bureau. “One, is some hills and scenery, but they also want it to be unique and specific to that ride, and that’s what makes this unique. It is designed specifically to tell a part of our history and a part of our story.” Though some form of the trial has been in place for decades, it lacked trail markers. Riders could look at a map of the trail, but remembering each turn on a trail as long as this was nearly impossible. With the signs now in place, following the trail is easy, even for those unfamiliar with the route. “It’s not only important for new riders to know where the route is, but to remind vehicular traffic that this is actually a recognized bike route throughout our county,” said Flohr. “For their safety, it’s critical to make sure that vehicular traffic is aware that they’re sharing the road with riders. The motivation to install the signs was for safety.” Flohr was sure to show gratitude to the groups that made the signs possible. The city and county allowed the signs to be placed, as did Miami County, into which the trail takes a brief departure as it crosses the Mississinewa Dam. “But there’s an expense to them, so finding a financial contributor like Midwest Eye Consultants to help sponsor the cost of these signs is pinnacle,” said

Flohr. “Dr. Greg Garner is a cyclist, and he’s an enthusiast about it and has enjoyed riding with the Rock City Bike Club for years, and he recognized the need for the signs as well.” The signs will prove useful for local groups, such as the Rock City Bike Club, which Flohr estimates has about 60 members. In addition, a well-marked bike route will serve as a catalyst to draw in more riders from outside the county. “We estimate about 3,300 cyclists cycle the trail from out of the county each year,” said Flohr, whose position requires her to monitor tourism in all forms. It was critical that the sign installation was complete before September, as the Dam to Dam Century Ride is scheduled for the 14th. There are currently 112 riders signed up for the event, and Flohr expects that number to approach 200 by the day of the ride. This will be the first opportunity to showcase the newly marked trail to a large group of people. With riders traveling from four states for the event, Flohr hopes the signs will help to put Wabash on the map as a cycling destination. “We’ve already seen a significant increase in interest in our community just since we launched the Dam to Dam Century bike ride,’ said Flohr. “We can look at places like Wisconsin and Ohio and Michigan that are specifically interested in our area since we launched our (continued on page 12)

Pirate’s Cove Marina offers tours of Salamonie Reservoir

by Aaron Johnson The Pirate’s Cove Marina sits below a steep hill on a small dock off the shore of the Salamonie Reservoir near the Lost Bridge. It is a small shop that boasts in boat rentals, dock rentals, and the Marina’s newest attraction: a boat tour of the reservoir. Randy Yarger, along with his wife and two sons, owns and runs

Pirate’s Cove. Yarger decided to give pedestrians a new view of the reservoir by giving boat tours. “We want to get the people up in the campground out on the lake,” Yarger said. “There’s not much up there to do, so I built the boat the winter before last.” The tours are offered twice a day on Saturdays and Sundays, at 11 a.m.

and 2 p.m. Yarger’s son, Brock Yarger, is responsible for driving the boat on the tours and giving information to the passengers of the pontoon. The tour that is given leads out to the Eagle’s Nest, where two adult bald eagles and three of their children, can be found. On those tours lucky enough, the eagles can be seen swooping down to

catch fish to take back to the nest. Along the tour, the guide will give information about the 1,300-acre park to the passengers. The boat travels under the State Road 105 Bridge, showing off the graffiti written on the structure during the floods of 1993 and 2003, when the water level in the reservoir rose 32 feet. Since these floods, the reser-

voir has been drained every winter to send more water downstream. There are many things that can be

seen on this tour, including wildlife and special locations. Boaters speed by, eagles fly past, and great blue herons

perch in trees on the shore. A special water ski slalom course is shown, as well as the locations of the lost (continued on page 3)

Small-town similarities surpass tale of two cities by Brian Hamilton

Editor’s Note: Brian Hamilton is a 1990 graduate of Northfield High School and current editor of The Union newspaper in Grass Valley, Calif, a daily newspaper with a circulation of 13,000. Brian’s first experience in the newspaper industry was working as a correspondent for the Wabash Plain Dealer at the age of 17. After graduating from Ball State University, he found his first fulltime reporting job at the Elwood CallLeader. He’s been with The Union for 13 years. Brian took note of the changes being made in Wabash during a recent trip back to his hometown. Upon returning to Grass Valley, he wrote this opinion column, which was published in The Union in early July. With Brian’s permission, we are taking this opportunity to share his thoughts with the Wabash community.

At first blush, my hometown and the community we’ve now called home for more than a decade didn’t seem to have all

towns of Dora and Monument City that are now submerged by the reservoir waters. While there are many people that own boats on Lake Salamonie, Yarger wanted to open the opportunity to see the reservoir to even more people. “A lot of people want to see the lake, but don’t want to pay to rent a boat, so five dollars for an hour and a half is fair.” Anyone may reserve a spot on the tour boat by calling the Marina at 260-4682162. The tour is approximately one hour and thirty minutes and costs five dollars per person. The Marina is located at 9214 Lost Bridge West in Andrews.

that much in common. Grass Valley, for example, is nestled in the natural beauty of the Sierra foothills, Wabash, Ind., on the other hand, is surrounded by miles and miles – and miles – of corn and soybean fields that spread as far as the eye can see, all across the state of Indiana. When it snows, Grass Valley has the Sierra ski slopes on which to play, while Wabash County residents find sport in simply keeping their cars from sliding off the road and into drift-filled ditches. Then, of course, Indiana has long been known politically as a “red” state, while California has clearly been one of a more blue hue. But after a recent trip back to my Hoosier homeland, rather than a contrasting tale of two cities some 2,000 miles apart, it was the small-town similarities that seemed so striking. In my return trips over the recent years to Wabash, the city certainly seemed on a downward spiral. Decades-old factories were closing their doors and taking with them the manufacturing jobs that supported many local families. As an example,

GDX Automotive, founded as General Tire and Rubber Co. in 1936, used to employ as many as 2,000 people. When it ceased operations in 2007, it also shut the door on the remaining 840 people who worked there. Reports of drugrelated crime, predominantly heroin and methamphetamine, were on the rise. And a dilapidated downtown with several boarded-up businesses painted a

Small-town similarities surpass tale of two cities... continued from page 3 around, things were clearly changing. I saw no empty storefronts when we rolled into downtown Wabash. In fact, many century-old buildings that had been all but left for dead – some said due to the “big box stores” out on the bypass – were now being renovated, including a remodeled 1920’s hotel that helped spark similar projects down the street. An expanded Honeywell Center serves the downtown with a state-of-the-art event venue, and there is a new YMCA facility just a couple of blocks away, serving as another hub of activity for the community. But perhaps the best part of this revitalization effort is that Wabash – like Grass Valley and our western Nevada County community – is embracing and celebrating its history as a reason to visit the

community while looking toward a more economically stable future. Along the banks of the Wabash River, we found a new river walk that hearkens back to the earliest settlers and the Paradise Springs Treaty. Down the street, we toured the sparkling new Wabash County Historical Museum – open in one of the formerly blighted buildings – with my own 86year-old grandmother proudly leading the way to show her great-granddaughters the switchboard on display that she once worked on as a telephone operator. And, of course, we also learned all about how in 1880, Wabash became the first electrically lighted city in the world. Unlike my hometown, western Nevada County has long prioritized the preservation of our rich histo-

ry and the importance of our vibrant downtowns in order to bring people to visit our community. Our Gold Rush heritage is on full display, whether within our museums or on the grounds of our state parks. But even though both cities celebrate their history and preserve their pasts through preservation and renovation efforts, as small towns in American, Grass Valley and Wabash are at a crossroads. Although there are many reasons to visit both of these communities, we need more reasons for people to stay. And that comes down to jobs. As Wabash leaders proudly presented the progress they’ve made in a film known as the “Stellar Video” – noting the attraction and emergence of new businesses like the “5- Hour Energy” drink – whether it was the mayor, business owners or nonprofit organization directors, they spoke about “collaboration,” a “spirit of cooperation” and the need to pull together to make things happen. As we know, western Nevada County is no stranger to such collaboration. Whether assisting a local family in a crisis situation, helping to raise funds for non-

profit organizations serving the community or simply encouraging folks to “buy local” to support our businesses, we are certainly community minded people. But often we allow polarizing political viewpoints to keep us from making much progress on challenges our community faces, whether it’s cultivating well-paying jobs and affordable homes, helping homeless people, dealing with crime, extending high-speed Internet access or developing economic opportunity. “I just felt like for us to move forward,” Wabash Mayor Robert Vanlandingham says in the “Stellar” film, “we needed to start doing things together.” Of course, that would mean coming to the table focused on where we agree, as opposed to starting off with polar opposite political ideologies, which so often keep our conversations from moving forward. But knowing the other thing my two “hometowns” have in common – the hardworking, dedicated generous, good-hearted people live there – I’m confident we can set aside our differences in order to continue our efforts at making this such a great place to live, work and play.

Local entrepreneur promotes social good with WeCare Card...continued from front page WeCare Card as a leader in the industry. The big release, however, is still months away. Right now, they’re just trying to make people aware of this innovative tool. “One, I want people to know about Jessica’s story and about why she created this – and obviously it’s seeded here,” said Mobley. “Two, I want people in the community to know it’s a resource. I want people to know they have this mechanism that is the WeCare Card, so they can not only create a campaign and have a card tied to it, but we’re here locally, so why not support your local business?” As the company continues to fight for patent publication and anxiously awaits the November event in Las Vegas, they’re looking forward to

Jessica Weiss many times larger. This makes the prospect of introducing a revolutionary model connecting the two industries very exciting for Jessica and the rest of the WeCare Card team. But through all the excitement and anticipation, they haven’t lost sight of its purpose; the whole idea is to help people and promote social good. “Ultimately, what she’s trying to do is create a platform to give back to people in need,” Mobley said about Jessica. “Anything and everything to help get these people lifted up in times of need is what we’re all about at this point.” The WeCare Card won’t be used for investments in businesses or start-ups. It will help people like Huntington resident Brian McCoy. After an allergic reaction to his antiseizure medications caused him to develop pulmonary fibrosis, Brian was fortunate enough to receive a lung transplant. He spent seven weeks in the hospital and has follow-up appointments every 3-6 weeks at the University of Michigan. Coming up with $7,000 out of pocket to cover medical expenses would be difficult for almost anyone. Gas and accommodations for his follow-up appointments stack up quickly. Add to this the fact the Brian and his wife, Heidi, have a blended family of six children, and it’s easy to see why they could use some extra help. Stories like this are what drive Jessica to make WeCare Card a reality. As one of the first users of the WeCare Card, the McCoys created a free campaign on wecarecard.com explaining their story. As people come across their story, either through social media or the website itself, some will feel com-

When the funds clear through the bank, the money is instantly available on the McCoys’ WeCare Card. They receive a text message notifying them of the donation and showing their current balance. The card can be used a n y w h e r e MasterCard is accepted and used as an ATM card when cash is necessary. “It’s more instantaneous,” Mobley said when asked about the merits of this model over sending someone a check. “Think about it. With a check, they have to write it, mail it, it has to get to you, and then it has to be cashed. In a social media world, if someone sees your campaign that was posted on Facebook, and they’re in New York and you’re in L.A., they can transfer funds, and once they’re cleared, they’re on your card. If they were to actual-

ly write you a check, mail it, and it clears that bank, that could be a 14-day process. This takes all of that out.” Given Jessica’s background in the medical field and her husband’s story, it only made sense to seed the WeCare Card in the area of medical expenses. They are currently in negotiations to implement the product in a large hospital network in the area. Jessica’s vision, however, is not limited to the medical field. While it’s not for business investment, the WeCare Card is open to any donationbased endeavor. Already, a group is using the platform to raise money to send a team to the AAU National Volleyball Championship. One group is raising money to give children a new pair of shoes. It could be used to fund someone’s college education, raise money for a family vehicle, help to cover funeral expenses, or collect donations for a

local charity event, just to name a few. Jessica also sees the wedding industry utilizing it in the future. “When a bride and groom get married, it’s typically on a Saturday, and banks are closed on Sunday. If you’re like me, I left for my honeymoon immediately after, so I couldn’t take that money with me,” Jessica recalled. “So for the wedding industry, we feel this is going to be very popular.” The variety of applications makes the release of the WeCare Card very exciting for Weiss and Mobley. The ability to license the technology to other crowdfunding platforms could position the

To celebrate the special anniversary, she shared a short summary of the history of the organization. The Arc of Wabash County began in 1954 when parents of children with disabilities in the Wabash area were looking for an alternative when the public education system restricted access to their children. One of the parents donated a home on Stineman Street that they converted into the “School of Hope.” By 1967, these children were becoming adults and needed job training, so the parents opened up a training center on Manchester Avenue called “ W o r k s h o p Enterprises.” After federal legis-

lation was passed in the mid-1970’s that opened the doors of the nation’s public schools to children with disabilities, the organization’s focus shifted from education to aid for people with disabilities before and after public education, along with a number of assisted living programs. The Infant Homestart Program for children with disabilities between birth and 3 years of age, as well as a preschool for those between the ages of 35, was opened. Various degrees of supported living programs for adults were created. More channels were opened up for citizens with disabilities to train for and find jobs. The list of opportunities created is a long one and Marsha Davis, wife of Lee Davis, board secretary, says that, “what this organization does for people with disabilities is just incredible work.” Hoffman touched on some of the many accomplishments achieved by the Arc of Wabash County during the previous fiscal year. Their largest program, the PreVocational/Sheltered Work Program, which teaches work and work-related skills through work subcontracted from Wabash County businesses, was used by 83 Wabash County citi-

An Arc 2014 Benefactor of the Year Award was presented to Randy Miller. Miller has performed multiple maintenance chores such as shoveling snow, mowing the yard, and picking up fallen limbs around The Arc’s Sinclair Street house. He has provided immeasurable help and friendliness to the staff and two men who live there. A second Benefactor of the Year Award was presented to Ron Haney. Haney served on The Arc’s Board of Directors for six years in the 1980s, another six years in the 1990’s, and yet another six (continued on page 7)

Arc of Wabash County celebrates “Diamond” Anniversary... continued from page 6 years in the 2000’s. He has also been doing the annual tax return for all of The Arcs residential clients at no cost for three decades. The Arc 2014 Community Award was presented to Doug Adams and Lizzy Curtis on behalf of the Wabash County Special Olympics. The Special Olympics has served as a life changing event for the individuals with disabilities in our community. The event allows them to play sports, learn good sportsmanship, and have the time of their life. The Arc 2014 Industry Partner of the Year Award was presented to Tyler Bear of Martin Yale Industries, Inc. When Arc was looking for an industrial shredder to start their confidential document shredding and recycling project, Bear designed a machine for the job. Over the years, he has become a friend of the organization and frequently stops by to make sure everything is running smoothly and to see what the workers have been doing. Linda Johnson, Arc of Wabash County’s Program Director, presented awards to persons served by the organization as well. These awards showcased the leaps forward the people with disabilities in our community are making to better not only their lives, but the lives of those around. Jenni Engle, Arc Training Coordinator, joined Johnson to present the Arc 2014 Award for Personal Growth to Joshua Bussell, but he was unable to attend Tuesday night’s event. Bussell is “a delightful young man with a great sense of humor” who has majorly

improved that way he participates in the workshop. Johnson and Shirlee Murphy, Arc of Wabash County’s community support coach, presented the Arc 2014 Volunteer of the Year Award to Mark Keiffer. Keiffer is very helpful and does great volunteer work at F.I.S.H. and the Wabash County Animal Shelter. He “takes his responsibilities seriously in his work at The Arc, in his job at Ponderosa, his volunteer work, and in caring for his alpacas at home.” David Smith, The Arc of Wabash County’s sheltered work supervisor, helped Johnson in presenting the Arc 2014 Sheltered Worker of the Year Award to Jeff Morris, but he was also unable to attend the event. This award is presented to someone “who has improved in the quantity and quality of work they perform, has good work habits, is safety conscious, on time for job assignments, pays attention to their work, and is a cooperative and dependable worker.” Morris has shown all of this and more in his work. Nicci Upton, The Arc of Wabash County’s community employment supervisor, assisted Johnson in presenting the Arc 2014 Community Employee of the year award to Scott Salyers. Salyers started looking for a job in March 2013 and was always sure to look nice and be on time when Upton would take him to interviews. That September he found a job at Walmart as a courtesy associate and when Upton saw him walking in his Walmart uniform on the opposite side of

town, she asked if he needed a ride. He told her that Public Transit had almost made him late a few times and he did not want to risk his job. He has since found himself promoted to a position in the deli department. Libby Waas, Arc of Wabash County’s Case Coordinator, helped Johnson present the Arc 2014 Congeniality Award to Gwen Mankey. Mankey is “a person who always makes you smile.” She can always be counted on to cheer you up with her “infectious laugh.” Nancy Hoffman and Linda Johnson presented the final award of the night, the Arc 2014 Award of Outstanding Merit, to Jodi Lowdenslager. Lowdenslager is a great worker who is reliable and gets the job done. She is also fun-loving and generally enjoyable to be around. Over the 60 years of operation, the names and locations have changed and the organization has branched out in the programs it offers, but the same care for the members of our community with disabilities that brought together those parents in 1954 has steadily been given to a growing clientele. Hoffman recalls watching the organization grow from “about 20 clients and 7 staff to more than 100 clients and almost 50 staff ” in the 38 years she has been working for the Arc of Wabash County. The Arc of Wabash County’s offices are located at 595 South Miami Street in Wabash. You can call them at 260-563-8411 or e-mail them at arc@arcwabash.org.

Dam to Dam bike ride, because that’s what our analytics tell us, so seeing about a 47% increase just in website traffic that is specific to this ride tells us that it’s going to increase and drive more tourism. “People who are driving far distances are coming into our

area and staying the night. That’s what we want,” Flohr added. “We want people to enjoy Wabash County as a day trip, as a weekend trip, and eventually grow it to be weeklong vacation trips.” This year’s Dam to Dam Century Ride will include: a Friday

night screening of the Heartland Film Festival Grand Prize Winner, Rising From Ashes, a movie about the Rwandan National Cycling Team; a discounted spaghetti dinner at H a r v e y Hinklemeyer’s; postride entertainment; and “swag bags” with

Swallowing water can be fatal hours after leaving the pool Drowning is a danger any time of the year and wherever water is present. Instances of drowning escalate in the summer, when more people are apt to spend time in the pool or at the seaside. But drowning can occur year-round, and young children are at the greatest risk of drowning. While many people are familiar with the risk factors that lead to drowning, many have never heard of secondary drowning, a related condition that can occur hours after leaving the water. According to the World Health Organization, drowning is the third most common cause of accidental death across the globe, accounting for almost 400,000 deaths annually. When a person drowns, he or she takes water into their larynx and lungs, which is known as aspiration. Lack of oxygen in the body causes bodily systems to shut down, and cardiac arrest and brain damage can result. Secondary drowning, also known as dry drowning or delayed drowning, is a postimmersion respiratory syndrome. It occurs when water or another fluid has entered the lungs but has not caused enough initial trauma to result in fatal drowning. However, water that has gotten inside the lungs may cause damage to the inside surface of the

organ, collapse alveoli and cause a hardening of the lungs that reduces the ability to exchange air. The body may also retaliate against the foreign water by drawing more fluid into the lungs. Over time, the lungs will suffocate themselves, which is why dry drowning can occur hours after exiting the water. Children tend to be more prone to dry drowning than adults. Parents are urged to keep careful watch over children who experienced distress in the water, which may have resulted in the inhalation of fluid. Furthermore, the children who are most at risk for dry drowning are those with known breathing or lung problems, including underdeveloped lungs or asthma. The following are potential indicators of secondary drowning. Prompt action should be taken if any of these signs are noticed after an adult or child leaves the water. *Persistent cough: Anyone who has swallowed water will cough and sputter as the body attempts to naturally expel the water. But persistent coughing that lasts long after the water has been breathed in may be indicative of water aspiration in the lungs. *Confusion: Difficulty understanding verbal instructions or not being able to form words or thoughts

may be a symptom of dry drowning. *Pain: Chest pain is a strong indicator of water aspiration. *Trouble breathing: Difficulty breathing long after a person has been swimming may indicate secondary drowning. *Lethargy: Extreme tiredness or a sudden lack of energy may be indicative of a problem. Monitor for the symptoms of dry drowning anytime a person swallows water. Keep the person nearby and do not allow him or her to go to sleep, as some children have died from secondary drowning in their sleep. If you notice any symptoms of dry drowning, take the person exhibiting those symptoms to the hospital, as this is not something that can be treated at home. According to the American College of E m e r g e n c y Physicians, a person would only have to inhale four ounces of water to drown and even less to injure his lungs enough to become a victim of secondary drowning. Emergency room physicians can remove residual water from the lungs and administer lifesaving oxygen. Although not all instances of swallowing water will result in dry drowning, it is beneficial to understand and learn to recognize secondarydrowning symptoms so fast action can be taken if necessary.

Avoiding pitfalls that can derail your diet Diet and exercise go hand-in-hand for men and women looking to improve their overall health. While it can be tempting to skip a workout in favor of relaxing on the couch at home, the temptation to cheat on your diet is far more pervasive, as dieters know that a high-calorie treat or second helping is lurking around seemingly every corner. As difficult as it can seem to remain loyal to a diet, successful dieters know that anticipation plays a big role in staying true to a diet. Certain pitfalls can be expected when dieting, and knowing what those pitfalls might be and how to avoid them can make the difference between a successful diet and one that does not produce the desired results. *Establish realistic and periodic goals. You should have a specific goal in mind when beginning a diet. But that goal

should be realistic, and you also should set various smaller goals you can meet as you build up toward achieving your larger goal. Your ultimate goal as well as your periodic goals should be realistic and attainable, as nothing can derail a diet more quickly than failing to meet your initial goals. If necessary, speak to your physician about healthy weight loss and how much time it should take to meet your goals without compromising your overall health. *Schedule your snacks. While snacking has derailed many a diet, grabbing a bite to eat between meals is not necessarily a dieter’s enemy. It’s what you eat between meals that can derail your diet. If you grab for the nearest snack without regard to nutrition, then you’re likely to find that your snacks are unhealthy foods that are compromising

your diet. Scheduling your snacks in advance allows you to bring a healthy snack along to the office instead of forcing you to eat whatever happens to be available. *Make the cupboard commitment. Once you decide to go on a diet, clear your cupboards of all the unhealthy foods that contributed to your need to go on a diet in the first place. Remove fatty foods, salty snacks and sugary cereals from your cupboard, replacing them with healthier fare that won’t put your dietary goals in jeopardy. *Reward your efforts. As you get deeper and deeper into dieting and meet your goals, reward your efforts. However, avoid the temptation to splurge on unhealthy food, as you don’t want to do anything to compromise your diet going forward and make all of your hard work up to that point all for

naught. Rewards can include a shopping trip, tickets to a show or ballgame or any other special treat that won’t jeopardize your efforts. Knowing there is a reward on the way can motivate you to stay the course, especially on those days when doing so is particularly difficult. *Rest up. Studies have shown that inadequate sleep inspires people to crave calorie-dense foods. In addition, lack of sleep compromises energy levels and makes it difficult to focus, which can affect your decision-making ability with regard to which foods you should eat. Adults typically need between seven and eight hours of sleep per night, so be sure to get adequate rest. Avoiding potential pitfalls that can derail a diet is an integral part of meeting your goals and adopting a healthier lifestyle.

Opportunities to receive free food available When we reach adulthood, our priorities and responsibilities should change. We are at a stage of our lives where we need to be self-reliant, not depending on our parents, grandparents or others to take care of us. Being an adult brings the responsibilities of taking care of the children we have helped bring into this world. Their needs should take priority over our wants. As responsible adults, we need to provide for our families, unless we have a physical or mental disability or age prevents us from doing so. Every person who lives in Wabash has the opportunity to receive free food from the following locations after they have exhausted their food stamps and WIC. For those who just don’t

have quite enough funds to purchase food for the month the following is a list of service organizations, times and dates, that will help with food and cooking classes.

Smokin’ For A Cause set for Sept. 20 by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com Last fall, Gary Henderson and his friends discovered a way to do something

they love – smoking meat on a barbeque – while supporting a local non-profit – the LIFE Center. After hauling their smokers to the parking lot of

the Wabash County Historical Museum and cooking through the night, they managed to serve nearly 800 people and present the LIFE Center

with $6,300. With this success, Henderson and his fellow smokers decided to make it an annual event. This year, there will be a few

changes. For one, the event has been moved to Paradise Spring Historical Park, which is a bit more scenic and spacious than the parking lot. The timing has also been tweaked a bit. “We’re going to do an evening service instead of noon,” said Henderson. “Last year, we cooked over night, and we were exhausted, so we’re going to try serving the public at 5 p.m.” They also plan to have kids games during the day while the adults tend the smokers. In addition to expanding the number of contestants and patrons, Henderson hopes to add to the organizations that benefit. “It’ll be the LIFE Center, and then we’re going to probably add a couple local organizations,” said Henderson. “What we’re looking for are organizations that are not supported by anyone or anything else. We want the local, small not-for-profits that aren’t getting help. That’s what we strive for and look at.” In addition to those organizations receiving funds, Henderson hopes that Smokin’ For A Cause can become a venue for charitable organizations to educate the public about their services. Nonprofits can reserve booth space for no charge. Henderson only asks that, if the organizations choose to sell something at the event, they donate 10% to the event’s cause. “My vision is that one day, we’d be surrounded by not-forprofit organizations explaining what they do,” said Henderson. “I want the community to know what we have here. I just want people to know where to go. It’s an educa-

Grissom runway reopens after renovation Grissom’s runway re-opened at 7:30 a.m. July 16, and it didn’t take long for the unit’s jets to start making their way home. The first KC-135R Stratotankers began arriving at 10:30 a.m. following relocation to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio on June 1 for a $3.2 million project that added expansion joints in the runway. “Thanks to the hard work of the entire construction team the runway project was completed on time,” said Col. Doug Schwartz, 434th Air Refueling Wing commander. “We are extremely excited to welcome our KC-135s

back to Grissom as we resume normal operations.” While the unit’s tankers were heading home, another aircraft arrived earlier for a temporary visit. The first aircraft to use the newly renovated runway was a Boeing 757 arriving for painting at a local business. Even though a commercial aircraft touched down first, the majority of flights scheduled were those belonging to the 434th ARW and returning from their temporary home. In all, 15 KC-135Rs departed the base during the construction. However one of the Stratotankers stayed

behind to undergo a scheduled inspection and refurbishment. “Many thanks to our friends at WrightPatterson AFB, Ohio from the 88th Air Base Wing and the 445th Airlift Wing for their tremendous support that enabled us to continue our air refueling mission,” said Schwartz. The 434th Air Refueling Wing is the largest KC-135 unit in the Air Force Reserve Command. Airmen and aircraft from the 434th ARW routinely deploy around the world in support of the Air Force mission and U.S. strategic objectives.

A KC-135R STRATOTANKER lands at Grissom Air Reserve Base on July 16, 2014. The aircraft was the first KC-135R that arrived following relocation to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio on June 1 for a $3.2 million project that added expansion joints in the runway.

Local student named to IWU Dean’s List

Elizabeth Ellen Collins, the daughter of Michael and Kathy Collins, LaFontaine, has received recognition on the Indiana Wesleyan University Dean’s List for the spring semester of the 2013-2014 academic year. She is majoring in Christian Education. To be named on this list, a student must obtain a 3.50 grade point average on a 4.00 scale and carry at least 12.0 graded credit hours for the semester.

supply giveaway for the Wabash community again this year. Project School Supply will take place at their facility, located at 74 W Canal St., on Thursday, July 31 beginning at 6 p.m. and Friday, Aug. 1 starting at 10 a.m. Last year, through the generosity of many donors, The Access was able to give away over 300 backpacks, which contained basic school supplies for students. This year, according to AYC Executive Director Liz Hobbs, the goal is much higher. “We are working hard in order to meet

our goal of 600 backpacks this year” said Hobbs. “The support shown for this program so far has been overwhelming, but we have a long way to go. Pins for Pencils got us to 65 percent of our monetary goal.” The Pins for Pencils event was held on Sunday, July 13 at Wabash Cannonball Lanes. It was an open bowling fundraiser with a silent auction and sponsorships; both helped to raise funds for the cause. Brodbeck Seeds and Eads and Son Bulldozing each gave one dollar per pin for the best game of the

day, bowled by David Haynes with a score of 231. The silent auction was made possible through donations from: Brandt’s HarleyDavidson, Dawes and Pugh CPAs, Filament Tattoo, Honeywell Center, KISS FM 95.9, Modoc’s Market, Terri FrancisAhlfeld - Mary Kay, and Wabash County YMCA. “Pins for Pencils was a great success,” said Hobbs. “We really want to thank Wabash Cannonball Lanes (especially Mark) and Modoc’s Market for sponsoring the day, all of our volunteers, and everyone from the

community who came out. This was our first year for the event but we are already thinking of ways to add to it for next year.” The next step before the giveaway is already in progress: supply drop-off sites are up and ready to receive donations. First Merchants Bank on Cass Street, Modoc’s Market, YMCA, and the Wabash Friends’ Church will be taking donations

through Friday, July 25; supplies can also be dropped off at The Access Youth Center by that date. Sorting and packing of the supplies and backpacks will take place at AYC July 2830; volunteers are needed to help with this process, as well as on the days of the giveaway. “We have split the giveaway up this year,” said Hobbs. “We wanted to be sure everyone, no matter what their

schedule, has a chance to come. On Thursday we will start at 6:00 p.m. and stop whenever we have given out half of our inventory. We will then reopen on Friday at 10 a.m. to give away the other half.” Those with questions or an interest in volunteering may call The Access office at 260-563-2070. Donations may be mailed to The Access, P.O Box 102 Wabash.

National firm funds local initiative to support youth INGUARD, an insurance and risk management firm headquartered in Wabash is the presenting sponsor of the Wabash County Promise. INGUARD is proud to renew its $40,000 annual commitment to support the local initiative, led by the Wabash

County YMCA, which is designed to support local youth in their college and career identity development. The pilot program for the Wabash County Promise launched in 2013, with more than 1,060 students opening a 529-college savings

account during school registration. According to Gallup Chairman Jim Clifton’s book, The Coming Jobs War, “Having no vision or excitement for the future is the cause of dropping out of school. Students need to be rescued at or before

the moment they lose hope in the future.” With this in mind, the Wabash County Promise was designed to promote a positive academic outlook among youth in not only Wabash County, but in recently expanded counties of LaGrange, Noble and Whitley as well. The broad goal of

the Wabash County Promise is to encourage students to plan ahead for their lives after high school, and to help each student believe that he or she can have a great future. “INGUARD strongly supports the goals of the Wabash County Promise, and we are dedicated to

motivating and providing essential support to the youngest members of our region,” said Parker Beauchamp, CEO of INGUARD. “The region is filled with intelligent and creative students, and we want to foster these qualities to help establish a brighter future. Our

support in this program will help make their dreams and career goals a reality.” For more information about the Wabash County Promise, or to learn how you can become involved, please visit the Wabash County YMCA website.

Timbercrest Senior Living Community along with the Red Cross invites the community to give blood on Tuesday, Aug. 5 from 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. in the Timbercrest Assembly Room at 2201 East Street, North Manchester. “This summer,

there are 100 days for blood and platelet donors to roll up a sleeve and help a patient in need,” said Dr. Richard Benjamin, chief medical officer for the Red Cross. “It’s difficult to collect enough blood for patients during the summer because so many people are busy with seasonal activities and schools

are out of session. But the need for blood is constant and patients are still relying on lifesaving blood products. ” To schedule an appointment to donate please call 1800-RED CROSS (1800-733-2767) or call Timbercrest at 260982-2118 to sign up b e f o r e h a n d . Individuals who are

Macy Christian Church celebrates 100 years

On July 13, members and friends of Macy Christian Church celebrated 100 years of worship in their present building. The day included morning worship service, a dinner served in the fellowship hall, and afternoon entertainment provided by the Kuhn family of Denver. The Macy congregation was organized in the late 1860s and met in various homes until they realized a larger building was needed. In 1873, the Christian Chapel was built and furnished at a cost of $2,500. M e m b e r s h i p increased to about 100 people. Construction of Macy Christian Church began in 1913 with the cornerstone being laid on Nov. 9, 1913. The record states, “The services of cornerstone laying commenced Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. and were held at the old church on account of the blizzard that raged all day.” Yet the services scheduled for the day went forward as planned with a morning message and an evening of preaching the Word. “At the noon hour, the ladies of the church were given their chance and they spread a dinner in Cloud & Sons department store for all who wished to partake, which would just make an angel’s appetite ache.” Items placed in the cornerstone included a subscription list of contributors to the new church, a copy of the Macy Monitor (a local newspaper), a picture of the old church, a picture of the present minister,

and a coin dated 1913. Unfortunately, just a few items were identifiable when the cornerstone was opened last November and were on display during the celebration. Plans were made to replace the cornerstone this summer. In his later year, Russel Sroufe, born in 1903 and a third generation member of Macy Christian, recalled a typical Sunday service as observed through the eyes of a 10-year-old boy. “The custodian rand the first bell at 9 a.m. We should remember there was another church in town of some rivalry as to who had the loudest bell and that it was being run at the right time. Nevertheless, this was a reminder as well as a summons to come and worship. We tied our horses and buggies to hitch racks up town and walked to the church where people congregated outside to visit and pass on any news of the past week. About this time, we heard a chugging noise and who should drive up but George and Emma Cloud, in their topless top-cylinder Brush automobile. Now bucket seats are nothing new; this car had high individual seats but probably not as comfortable as they are today. At the 9:30 bell, we go inside and have an opening song or two and then go to our respective classes. You can imagine five or six classes in a 40’ by 60’ building with no partitions of any kind. Sunday school literature was a sheet of

paper with the lesson on one side and comments on the other. After Sunday school, we reassembled and, if it was winter, we get a little closer to two large stoves on either side of the aisle. We sing a couple of songs before communion service. The bread and wine have been placed on a small square table and covered with a white cloth. After prayers have been offered, the loaf on a tray and the wine in a glass are passed. Each member takes a sip from the one glass that has a rough exterior, which helps prevent dropping the class as it is passed from one to another. Interestingly, the glass never runs dry. We have an inspiring sermon and have two confessions of faith so we prepare for a baptismal service. There are two small rooms, one on either side of the platform in the front of the building. A deacon goes up on the platform and lifts a trap door where there are steps leading into a pool of water. One might wonder what was the quality of the water and from where it came. There were eaves troughs on either side of the building with the water running into a filter at the back of the church and eventually into the baptistery, that has a free flow outlet. There are a few stories floating around about people who claim they had to break ice before a baptismal service could happen. We were outgrowing the present building so church leaders

began looking for a place to build a larger church. On this site, a house had been torn down and a basement was dug but no further progress had been made for two to three years. I remember walking by barricades set up to prevent any accidents. I was told there was a man wanting to build an opera house on this site in Macy since other nearby towns had one.” The cost of building and furnishing the new church, located at the corner of Commerce and

the world with the Ringling Brothers Circus, performing across the country and around the globe from time they were early teens. They even performed in Germany to great acclaim, with a preWorld War II Hitler in attendance. When they retired from the circus, each of the sisters married and settled in the Wabash County area.

other and remained close for the remainder of their lives. Malvina (known as Mena) and her husband owned Ernie’s Drive-In, a popular destination in Wabash for many years. Malvina’s daughter, Lana Long, has the loaned the museum several artifacts from her mother’s time in the circus, including an acrobatic costume and the leather bit Mena used for an

aerialist act, as well as photographs and other memorabilia. The History Hunter’s Speaker Series are sponsored

Free Alphorn concert, July 26

On Saturday, July 26, there will be a free public concert of live Alphorn music at the Hidden Hollows Retreat, the residence of Dan Servos and Virginia Nixon in rural Lagro, IN. This concert represents the culmination of a five-day musical clinic, the Sixth Annual Midwest Alphorn Retreat, for Alphorn players to improve their playing skills. Ten Alphorn players, from Texas, Minnesota, and points in between will perform at the concert. The teacher for the clinic is Dr. Peggy DeMers, Professor of Horn at Sam Houston University in Huntsville, Texas. Alphorns are traditionally associated with Switzerland and the Alps. Most Alphorns are painstakingly handcrafted out of wood, though some newer ones are made from carbon fiber. Musically, they are similar in tone and range to the modern French horn, but with a mellower tone. The Hidden Hollows Retreat is located at 1943 N 650 E near Lagro in Wabash County, just nine miles East of Wabash. The concert will be held outdoors overlooking the main pond, and the forested hollows. Attendees should bring their own chairs or blankets to sit on and should plan to be in their seats at 7:15 p.m. The concert will continue until sunset. Following the concert is a “petting zoo,” where the public can attempt playing the Alphorn t h e m s e l v e s . Admission is free. Off road parking is available on the upper level near the concert site. Handicapped

parking is also available. Visit hidden-

Long retires after 50 years in education Becky Sue Ayres Long, daughter of Arden and Mary Elizabeth Ayres, North Manchester, has retired after 50 years in education. 36 of these years were in full-time teaching in Indianapolis, West Lafayette, Purdue University, Chicago and St. Louis. 24 of these years were at California State University at Fullerton (CSUF) and at Loara High School, Anaheim, Calif. Ms. Long was recognized by the state of California for her achievements in raising students test scores at Loara High School. She was awarded a monetary prize for this accomplishment at a California State Educators award ceremony. Becky also pioneered in the design and implementation of an Education Academy, the first of its kind in the state of California. Part of this program involved high school juniors and seniors completing a teaching internship at the local elementary school. The

students also completed university requirements to receive three units of college credit from CSUF before having graduated from high school. The Education Academy started with one class of twelve students 20 years ago, but soon grew to 170 students and became the most popular program on campus. Students worked hard to raise their grade point averages to qualify for academic high standards. Students in this program strived toward even greater success in high school. Furthermore, they inspired the young people they tutored at the elementary school. Ms. Long always had a goal of 100 percent college attendance for her students and has been an advocate for student involvement in campus activities and community service. Her students became the high school leaders and recipients of senior awards. As they transitioned from high school to college and into careers, some of them

became teachers, doctors, and other professionals, because, for many, a teacher cared enough to advocate for their success. A lot of these students were immigrants, the first in their family to attend high school and college. Becky believes that students become motivated to achieve, if they know that their teacher believes in them. The state of California and the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce awarded Ms. Long with the prestigious Crystal Apple Award for her work with the Education Academy. California Governor Gray Davis congratulated her and the Education Academy on this success in raising test scores at Palm Lane Elementary School. Additionally, Ms. Long also received letters of commendation from President Bush and national and California state legislators for her accomplishments in education. Most recently, Ms. Long was awarded for her efforts in writing Common

Core curriculum for the California schools of the future. Becky’s many years of experience in education has reaffirmed her belief that education is the key to progress, success, and overcoming the challenges of an everchanging world. She is a product of the North Manchester schools. She attended Chester School, graduated from Laketon High School in 1959 and then went on to graduate from Ball State in 1963. She attained her master’s degree from Ball State in 1967. Throughout the years, she continued her graduate college education in St. Louis and California. Her philosophy is to be a lifelong learner. Teachers have a responsibility to maintain their education. The role of the classroom teacher cannot be overemphasized, for they are the single more influential factor in a child’s education. They hold students to high expectations, challenge them to think critically, push them to excel in the con-

frontation of any obstacle, and guide their development into contributing citizens. For Becky, teaching has been a labor of love with the perpetual desire to enrich the lives and learning experiences of her students. Her goal was to make the classroom an exciting environment, where learning was both productive and useful, while each student was encouraged to be successful. Ms. Long’s roots in education stemmed from her time at North Manchester schools. They enabled her to flourish by providing her opportunities for success and inspiration, motivating her to attain higher levels of achievement. In Becky’s words, “I owe my success to North Manchester schools and my parents and family.” Becky Sue Ayres Long is looking forward to spending more time with her husband, David Long, who is a retired education administrator and teacher, and her sons and grandsons.

BECKY SUE AYRES LONG recently retired after 50 years in education. She received multiple awards and commendations from people across the country for her efforts in educating the next generation. (photo provided) She plans to travel and serve as a guest lecturer for local universities and high school districts. Becky’s oldest son works for the

Anaheim Union High School district as a technology director, thereby continuing the family legacy in the field of education.

Chapter DK is keeping busy The spring and summer has been pleasant and entertaining for the members belonging to Chapter DK of the P.E.O. Sisterhood. For the April social, eight members and two guests attend The Church Basement Ladies “A Mighty Fortress is our Basement” presented at the Honeywell Theater. At the beginning of May, four members attended the P.E.O. State Convention in Indianapolis. They are especially proud of Gay Ingold, who is the state representative for the P.O.E. Scholarship.

Doctors use many different methods to assess their patients’ health. Measuring the fat in a person’s midsection is one indicator physicians may rely on more heavily in the future as they look to pinpoint potential health risks before they become something more serious. Belly fat is much more than an eyesore, as it poses a serious health risk doctors are only just beginning to understand. A recent study on belly fat presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress confirmed that belly fat is far more dangerous than many people think. That’s because a large stomach may not only be comprised of subcutaneous fat, or the fat contained under the

skin. Very often visceral fat, or the type of fat that surrounds internal organs, is a contributing factor to girth around the midsection. Visceral fat, also know as intra-abdominal fat, is linked to a variety of health problems, including high triglycerides, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar. Every person has some amount of belly fat, even those with relatively flat abdominals. Visceral fat provides cushioning around the organs and is actually beneficial in small amounts. It’s when visceral fat becomes too plentiful that it can pose a problem. According to Kristen Hairston, MD, an assistant professor of endocrinology and metabolism at the Wake Forest

University School of Medicine, visceral fat doesn’t just sit dormant; it plays an active role in the body’s production of a number of potentially harmful substances. Researchers are studying if visceral fat secretes inflammatory molecules in higher amounts than other types of fat. These molecules can contribute to various health ailments. A person’s ideal weight is not necessarily based on pounds on the scale. Rather, individuals should use other measurements to determine propensity for belly fat. Having a “pear shape” where the hips and thighs are larger than the waist can actually be safer than an “apple shape,” where the waistline is larger. People concerned about belly fat should use a measuring tape to measure girth and determine if there is a potential problem. Place the measuring tape around the waist at the navel. The measuring tape should be level and stretch around the midsection. Women want a waist measurement of less than 35 inches. Men should measure in at less than 40 i n c h e s .

Single, lonely or just looking for someone new to talk with?

Measurements that exceed those figures may indicate excessive amounts of visceral fat. A hip-towaist ratio measurement also can be used. This ratio should be below .85 for women and below .90 for men. Anything higher is considered “at risk,” and a person should consider losing belly fat. The only precise way to measure visceral belly fat is to get a CT scan or an MRI. However, this is expensive and may not be covered by health insurance. It’s important to note that belly fat is not a problem exclusive to those who are o v e r w e i g h t . Although it may not be as visible, thin people can have excess visceral fat as well. This is often the result of eating a healthy diet but failing to exercise regularly. There are ways to manage and reduce belly fat. Getting adequate exercise in conjunction with eating a healthy diet, getting enough sleep and managing stress can help. Losing belly fat can improve a person’s appearance and his or her overall health.

dinner parties kidfriendly. This can make things easier on guests, who won’t have to go to the trouble or expense of hiring a babysitter for the night. It also can make things easier on hosts with children of their own and don’t

want to add finding a sitter to their list of things to do in the days leading up to the party. Kids can add some life to a dinner party, but hosts may to employ a few strategies to ensure their kid-friendly dinner parties are enjoyable

for adults and children alike. *Feed the kids first. Kids can’t ignore their appetites as long as their adult counterparts, so make sure dinner for the kids is served once all of them have arrived. Choose kid-friendly fare like pizza or macaroni and cheese so kids are more likely to eat and not complain of hunger later in the evening. Feeding the kids first also makes it easier for adults to enjoy uninterrupted conversation when it’s their turn to sit down and eat. *Keep the kids entertained. Whether it’s a movie, a board game or another distraction, finding something to keep the kids entertained throughout the night should be a priority for hosts. A selection of movies that kids can choose from might be your best bet, as films that are between 90 and 120 minutes long can keep youngsters occupied for much of the night. Let kids watch their movies in a playroom that’s separate from where adult guests will be gathering prior to dinner, and periodically check in on the kids as the night progresses. Provide some snacks like popcorn or even some candy to create a night at the movies atmosphere for kids. *Remind kids to be gracious hosts. When choosing activities for kids, remind your own children that it’s their responsibility to be gracious hosts, even if that means playing games they aren’t interested in or watching movies they have already seen. Let

youngsters know in advance that if they fulfill their responsibilities at hosts they can choose how to spend the following day or weekend. *Choose an adult entree that’s simple to prepare. No matter how well behaved kids may be before and during a dinner party, hosts should not add to their already considerable workload by preparing an especially complicated meal for their adult guests. Keep things simple, especially if you are preparing a separate meal for the kids. Much of the stress of hosting a dinner party comes with preparing the meal, and that may only prove more stressful if you are preparing two meals while simultaneously catering to the needs of your youngest guests. *Consider hiring a babysitter. Sometimes hiring a babysitter makes sense even when mom and dad are home. A babysitter can look after the kids while the parents are elsewhere in the home enjoying a good meal and great company. Adults attending the party with their children can split the cost of a babysitter, even if he or she charges extra to look after several kids at once. Hosting a kidfriendly dinner party can make for a memorable night for parents and their children. Hosts can make the night even better by employing several strategies to make the party feel like a more traditional affair even if the kids are in the next room.

People often mistakenly associate seasonal allergies with the spring. But allergies can still appear even long after the final flower buds of spring have stopped blooming. Ragweed is the most common culprit with regard to autumn allergies. According to

Bruce Gordon, MD, a professor at Harvard University and an ear, nose and throat allergy specialist, ragweed has a distinct season. Its pollen is produced in abundance between late-summer and midfall. In warmer climates, ragweed may continue to cause aller-

gy symptoms into the winter. A single ragweed plant can produce one billion grains of pollen per season. The weed grows prolifically through many areas of the country. Lightweight pollen on ragweed can travel on the wind up to 400

miles, so even if ragweed isn’t abundant where you live, you still may be affected. In addition to ragweed, pigweed, sheep sorrel, curly dock, and goldenrod also may contribute to autumn allergies. Mold is another potential foe come the fall. Mold can thrive in compost piles and leaves that cover the ground during this time of year. In some climates, mold allergy season begins in midto late-fall, right after ragweed season, potentially making mold and ragweed a one-two punch for those susceptible to these allergens. When battling fall allergies, consider using antihistamines and special nasal sprays, which may help to mitigate the symptoms of these seasonal allergies.

THE PAPER

Keep skin healthy by knowing sunscreen facts The best way to care for skin is to be smart about sun exposure. Too much unprotected exposure to the sun can cause a host of problems, from premature wrinkling to skin cancer. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, millions of cases of skin

cancer are reported each year, and many more may go undetected. The best way to protect skin from the sun is to stay out of the sun. When that is not feasible, using a broad-spectrum sunscreen can guard against damage from ultraviolet radiation. Although sun-

screen is an enormous help, it is not foolproof. Sunburns and skin damage can occur even when using sunscreen, and user error accounts for much of that damage. To get the best results from any sunscreen product, consumers can educate themselves about proper application and avoid certain information inaccuracies. Myth: The best sunscreen is the one with the highest SPF. Actually, the best sunscreen is the one you will use regularly. Make sure you like the scent and the feel of the sunscreen. Decide if you prefer a sunscreen that is grouped together with a moisturizer or a makeup foundation. Try sunscreens that are lotions or sticks to

figure out which application works best for you. Once you’ve found a product you like, stick with it. But make sure the sunscreen has an adequate sun protection factor, or SPF. Myth: I only need sunscreen on sunny days. The sun can prove harmful even on cloudy days. You may not be safe indoors, either, particularly if you spend a good deal of time next to an open window. Window glass will only block certain types of UV light, making sunburn possible even if you are indoors or riding in a car. It’s a good habit to apply sunscreen daily regardless of if you will be out in the sun. Myth: Spray sunscreens are as effective as the rest. Spray products may not

deliver enough sunscreen to the skin because droplets are dispersed unevenly. Furthermore, the propellents used in spray sunscreens could be harmful if inhaled. Opt for sunscreens that are applied by hand and can be adequately coated over all areas of the skin. Myth: Sunscreen does not need to be reapplied, especially if it’s water-resistant. There is no such thing as a waterproof sunscreen. The Food and Drug Administration recently prohibited the use of the term “waterproof ” because consumers falsely believed their sunscreen products would not wash off. Water-resistant sunscreens will be effective for a certain number of minutes before they need to be reap-

plied, usually between 40 to 90 minutes. If you have been sweating profusely or have been in the pool or ocean for awhile, play it safe and reapply often. Myth: A little drop of sunscreen is all that’s needed. Many people are applying far too little sunscreen to protect themselves from the sun. The average person needs about an ounce of lotion to cover his or her entire body. Think about the size of a shot glass and use that amount. Myth: Spending more money on SPF 50 will get me superior protection. The rate of protection from SPF 30 to SPF 50 is marginal. SPF 30 (when applied correctly) can protect against 97 percent of UVB rays. That’s ade-
