Putting an "I" into Eye Care (Family Features) When going through your health checklists, you probably think about your blood pressure, weight and cholesterol levels.
But what people often neglect is actually right in front of our eyes – our vision. Properly caring for your eyes is important for preventing vision loss and blindness, as well as protecting your overall health. As with many other aspects of personal healthcare, routine exams and preventive measures go a long way to ensuring healthy vision and helping you see well for a lifetime. In observance of Healthy Vision Month this May, the experts at the National Eye Institute recommend following these five steps to take care of your eyes and protect your vision. Get a comprehensive dilated eye exam. You might think your vision is fine or that your eyes are healthy, but visiting your eye care professional for a comprehensive dilated eye exam is the only way to really be sure. When it comes to common vision problems, some people don’t realize they could see better with glasses or contact lenses. In addition, many common eye diseases, such as glaucoma, diabetic eye disease, and age-related macular degeneration, often have no warning signs. A dilated eye exam is the only way to detect these diseases in their early stages. During a comprehensive dilated eye exam, your eye care professional places drops in your eyes to dilate, or
widen, the pupil to allow more light to enter the eye. This enables your eye care professional to get a good look at the back of the eyes and examine them for any signs of damage or disease. Live a healthy lifestyle. Living an overall healthy life is good for your eyes. This includes: Maintaining a healthy weight. Being overweight or obese increases your risk of developing diabetes and other health problems that can lead to vision loss, such as diabetic eye disease or glaucoma. Eating healthy foods. You’ve heard carrots are good for your eyes, but eating a diet rich in other fruits and vegetables, particularly dark leafy greens, such as spinach, kale, or collard greens, is important for keeping your eyes healthy too. Research also has shown there are eye health benefits from eating fish high in omega-3 fatty acids, such as salmon, tuna, and halibut. Not smoking. Smoking is as bad for your eyes as it is for the rest of your body. Research has linked smoking to an increased risk of developing age-related macular degeneration or cataract, both of which can lead to blindness. Managing chronic conditions. Many conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension, and multiple sclerosis, can greatly impact vision, resulting in inflammation of the optic See Eye Care, Page 9

Continued from Page 8
nerve, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and even vision loss. Managing these conditions with the help of your health care provider can often prevent blindness. Know your family history. Talk to your family members about their eye health history. It’s important to know if anyone has been diagnosed with a disease or condition because many diseases tend to run in families. This will help to determine if you are at a higher risk for developing any of these problems yourself. Use protective eyewear. Wear protective eyewear when playing sports or doing activities around the home. Protective eyewear includes safety glasses and goggles, safety shields, and eye guards specially designed to provide the correct protection for a certain activity. Most protective eyewear lenses are made of polycarbonate, which is 10 times stronger than other plastics. Wear sunglasses. Sunglasses are a great fashion accessory, but their most important function is to protect your eyes from the sun’s ultraviolet rays. When purchasing sunglasses, look for options that block 99 to 100 percent of both UV-A and UV-B radiation. You can find more information on these preventive
measures and learn about Healthy Vision Month at www.nei.nih.gov/hvm.
Sidebar: Finding an Eye Care Professional Finding a qualified eye care professional to help keep your eyes and vision in tiptop shape doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Follow these tips from the National Eye Institute to find a doctor in your area: • Ask family members and friends about the eye care professionals they use. • Ask your family doctor for the name of a local eye care professional. • Call the department of ophthalmology or optometry at a nearby hospital or university medical center. • Contact a national, state, or county association of ophthalmologists or optometrists. These groups, usually called academies or societies, may have lists of eye care professionals with specific information on their specialties and experience. • Contact your insurance company or health plan to learn whether it has a list of eye care professionals who are covered under your plan. • An important part of good eye health is quality communication with your doctor. Remember to: • Ask questions until you understand the information
your doctor is giving you. • Take notes, or get a friend or family member to take notes for you. Or, bring a tape recorder to assist in your recollection of the discussion. • Ask your doctor to write down his or her instructions to you. • Ask where you can go for more information. Other members of your health care team, such as nurses and pharmacists, can be

Everyday chores made easy How to get your kids involved in cleaning (Family Features) Chores are an important part of teaching children about responsibility. By encouraging kids to be accountable for completing everyday chores, even at an early age, you might be surprised at their willingness to share in the household duties. Here are some tips from the Walgreens Ologytm team on how to get the kids involved in creating a happy, healthy and clean home. Stick to a routine: Consistency is a key component in motivating children to follow through with chores. Make sure to stay on schedule so your kids don't get into the habit of procrastinating until the following week. Keep expectations reasonable: Go in knowing that your kids aren't going to clean in
To Advertise Call 413-562-4181 the same way you would. Be sure to encourage them along the way for their efforts and resist the urge to criticize or redo the chores they've completed. Request specific actions: Make sure you give them clear and specific tasks to complete. For example, rather than telling your kids to put their clothes away, ask them to fold their clothes and put them in the dresser drawers or hang them in the closet. Use family-friendly cleaners: Fight everyday household messes with a cleaner that's safer for your family and paper towels that are better for the environment, like Ology All-Purpose Cleaner and 100 percent tree-free paper towels. The cleaner's plant-based formula is free of harsh solvents, dyes, ammonia and artificial fragrances. Even if your child is too young to clean the countertops themselves, you can feel good about using these cleaners that contain no harmful chemicals when you children are close by. Use a reward chart: For kids, especially the younger ones, a visual reward chart is a great motivational tool and helps children to feel a sense of accomplishment. Purchase a set of gold stars or fun stickers, and allow them to mark off each chore on the chart once finished. After a certain number of chores are completed, offer a small reward for their hard work, such as a movie of their choosing or a special dessert. Give ample praise: Even more important than material rewards, is the satisfaction of a job well done. Make sure to give lots of encouragement along the way as well as positive feedback once the chore is complete. Chores by age group: As children grow older, their abilities change and their responsibilities should adjust accordingly. Here are some examples of chores

However, there are ways to reduce the amount of debt you take on when preparing for higher education. Outstanding student loan
debt has now reached $1.2 trillion, according to 2013 estimates from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Yet there are ways to help reduce the amount a family or student has to borrow to fund a college education, if families start early. “It’s never too late for fami-

lies of college-bound students to reduce costs, if they consider options well before senior year,” said Cynthia Tidwell, CEO and president of Royal Neighbors of America, one of the first women-led life insurers in the U.S. Royal Neighbors has also awarded more than $4 million in college scholarships since 1962. “The key is to think creatively — whether it’s earning college credits in

high school, using financial tools that allow for cash savings, or researching scholarship options — don’t mortgage your own financial future or saddle your child with debt that could keep her or him from reaching their dreams,” Tidwell added. Four Ways to Reduce College Costs Earn college credit in high school. Many high schools offer students the opportunity to earn dual high school and
college credit, before college, through advanced placement (AP) courses. You can learn more about AP programs online. Consider a community college. Average annual community college tuition and fees are less than half those at public four-year colleges and universities and one-tenth those at private four-year colleges and universities, according to a 2008 report from the National Center of Education Statistics. Learn about college savings financial options. There are many different financial products to help save for college. Under certain circumstances, some colleges and universities lock in tuition for all four years. Even certain life insurance policies offer cash savings options to help pay for expenses such as college tuition, weddings, or starting up a business. Look for permanent or whole life policies with cash value accumulation options. Research scholarships early. Scholarships are available for traditional and non-traditional students, but don’t wait until senior year to research. Some require organizational membership, volunteer hours, or criteria that may take time for the student to be eligible. “Royal Neighbors of America believes that every woman and her family should be financially secure and that education is the key to a brighter future,” said Tidwell. “Don’t be discouraged by rising college costs. There are ways to save if you plan ahead.”

Celebrate a Sweet Cinco de Mayo (Family Features) Cinco de Mayo is, officially, a holiday celebrating Mexico’s victory over France in the 1862 Battle of Puebla. In the U.S., where it is actually celebrated with more gusto than in its native country, the holiday has become a celebration of Mexican heritage and culture. The holiday also provides a great excuse to make irresistible Mexican-inspired recipes for entertaining and, of course, a big batch of margaritas to wash it all down. Fresh sweet corn is an essential component of many Mexican dishes and a cultural staple. Luckily, Cinco de Mayo falls right in the middle of Florida’s Sunshine Sweet Corn season, meaning that the sweetest corn, available all year, arrives just in time to be a part of your Cinco de Mayo celebration. These naturally-bred varieties are grown by a group of family farmers who are committed to producing the finest sweet corn. Get the fiesta started with this Fire Roasted Corn and Chorizo Dip and a big bowl of tortilla chips. Crunchy, spicy, sweet and creamy, this addictive dip will have your guests asking for more. For something on the lighter side, whip up a batch of refreshing and zesty Sweet Corn, Mango and Black Bean Salsa that is also delicious served over grilled fish and chicken. Next, be sure to serve Mexican Style Corn, a truly authentic and delicious Mexican street food. Crunchy ears of fresh sweet corn are charred to perfection then slathered with a mixture of cheese and mayo, sprinkled with chili powder and squirted with lime for simple flavor perfection. Finally, no Cinco de Mayo celebration is complete without tacos. For a healthful twist on your typical taco, try this recipe for Charred Corn Tacos with Radish Zucchini Slaw that will have both vegetarians and meat eaters clamoring for seconds. Incorporating more healthful whole foods and veggies
into your Cinco de Mayo celebration this year makes it easier to justify one more margarita. No matter what you serve at your Cinco de Mayo celebration, make sure to incorporate the sweet and wholesome flavor of fresh spring sweet corn. Discover more mouthwatering recipes for Cinco de Mayo and every time of year at www.sunshinesweetcorn. com.

Today with Jay: Timepieces through the years By JAY BERGER I was leafing through a men’s high-fashion magazine in the dentist’s office while waiting for my twice-yearly check-up. If you believe the advertising in the magazine that I was perusing, you might conclude that the only item of interest to men
is wristwatches. Full page, multi-color ads proclaim the value and sex appeal of these great timepieces. Most come from Switzerland, and are sold in all the fashion capitols of the world for thousands of dollars. The watches tell time in every capitol city, register your heart-
beat, time your running and walking, reminds you of appointments with a ringing or vibration, and, of course, are great eye candy. My very first watch was a Mickey Mouse pocket watch I received for my 10th birthday. The price on the label was $1.75. On my Bar Mitzvah three year later, I was presented with a Mickey Mouse wristwatch. The hidden price label on it read $2.95. In those days, it represented a significant purchase. During my growing up years, I always admired my Dad’s pocket watches. One was gold with a back that came off and you could insert a picture. The other was cased in nickel and was a leftover from his World War I days. They disappeared after he died, as did my Mickey Mouse watches. At my high school graduation (actually, I was already in the military) my folks presented me with a beautiful Hamilton wristwatch. It had a gold case and numerals with a leather
band. I did not take it with me into the service and it is still with me. While I was in the Army and in the latter days of training, I was asked to wear a wristwatch with a black face and radium dial. This was so that during night operations, it would not throw off any reflection. The watch was manufactured by the Waltham Watch Company. I still wear it. Kitty gave me a wonderful Swiss watch as a wedding gift and I continue to wear it at special events. It is self-winding with normal body movements and keeps very accurate time. I also presented Kitty with a special Swiss watch for our wedding and she wears it at certain times. At my business retirement party, I received a gold watch. It was engraved on the back with my years of service and the company name. It brings up many memories when I choose to wear it. After retirement, I chose to do some consulting, and on a
plane trip, I noticed an ad in the United Airline magazine for personalized company wristwatches. They were inexpensive and I bought a bunch of them for my consulting clients. I still have one left that I tucked away. It reads “Circulation Management” on the dial. On television in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s Timex advertised their watches as “It takes a lickin’ and keeps on tickin’.” On one of my birthdays, I got a Timex. It did not keep on tickin’. However, in Timex’s defense, when my brother-in-law David died, my sister Marilyn gave me his Timex. It has big numbers on it and if you press in the dial, the face lights up. I have had it for many years and it never had to have a battery replacement. So, I just did not achieve the level on wristwatches in the high-fashion men’s magazines. But my collection of watches and the memories they produce surely equals the thousands of dollars they cost. “Keep on Tickin’.”
