Holiday Shopping Safety TipsHoliday Shopping Safety TipsShopping during the holiday season can present unique danger. Taking a few prevention measures can help keep your holiday season joyous. The holiday season is a time when busy people can become careless and vulnerable to theft and other holiday crime.

The following tips from the Bethlehem Police Department Crime Prevention Section can help you be more careful, prepared and aware during the holiday season.

• Shop during daylight hours whenever possible. If you shop at night, go with a friend or family member.• Dress casually and comfortably.• Avoid wearing expensive jewelry.• Do not carry a purse or wallet, if possible.• Always carry your Driver License with necessary cash, checks and/or a credit card you expect to use.• Even though you are rushed and thinking about a thousand things, stay alert to your surroundings.• Avoid carrying large amounts of cash.• Pay for purchases with a check or credit card when possible.• Keep cash in your front pocket.• Notify the credit card issuer immediately if your credit card is lost, stolen or misused.• Keep a record of all of your credit card numbers in a safe place at home.• Be extra careful if you do carry a wallet or purse. They are the prime targets of criminals in crowded shopping areas, transportation terminals, bus stops, on buses and other rapid transit.• Avoid overloading yourself with packages. Maintain a clear visibility and freedom of motion to avoid mishaps.• Beware of strangers approaching you for any reason. At this time of year, "con-artists" may try various methods of distracting you with the intention of taking your money or belongings.

Happy Holidays and a Safe New Year from your Bethlehem Police Department

Neighbors Next DoorNeighbors Next Door

Joan and Jim Tschinkel are the parents of six children, grandparents to fi fteen. On a recent morning, sitting down to discuss the Appalachian Trail and a lifetime spent hiking, the conversation often drifted back to children and grandchildren. Jim Tschinkel, at 82 years, fi nished hiking the last bit of the Appalachian Trail this past summer. The trail stretches from Maine to Georgia and passes through 14 states. There are two kinds of hikers who take on the Appalachian trail, the thru-hiker and the section hiker. Thru-hikers start and fi nish the trail in one stretch, often taking as long as six months to complete. The section hikers cover the same ground, but in pieces over time. It took Jim twenty years to complete the approximately 2.181 mile trail. His was a leisurely approach, one meant to ensure he could stop and smell the roses, take in a particularly beautiful vista in the Smoky Mountains or pause to chit chat with a group of fellow hikers. For Jim, this aspect of the hiking experience was every bit as important as covering ground. As his 60th wedding anniversary approached and the goal of hiking the entire Appalachian Trail was not yet complete, his family - especially his youngest daughter - begged him to fi nish while he was in good health and feeling well. The window, they felt, was closing. Says Jim, “My intent was not to fi nish it. But to keep doing it. My family had other ideas.” Jim and Joan agreed, then, that they would set off for the pieces of the trail not yet complete. He, the hiker. She, the chauffeur. There were 245 miles left for him to cover in Tennessee, North Carolina and Georgia. Joan dropped him at each trailhead, spent the day touring the area, then met him at the end of the trail. His family, acting as cheerleaders and comrades, divided up the trail and arranged for someone to be with him while he hiked every last mile. Jim’s warm and gentle blue eyes tell of a love story, two love stories, actually. One for his devoted family, the other for the trail and all the adventure it holds. Pulling out memorable moments from this push to

fi nish the trail, he tells of two young grandsons who joined him for a stretch. Ages six and eight, they hiked a total of 33 miles together, over three days and two nights. The boys carried their own packs, hiked for six-hour stretches and slept in a lean-to. When one group of family members left, another was there, hiking boots laced up, ready to go. There was the niece who surprised him, keeping him company for three days. Another daughter and her son. A son-in-law. An old friend. One by one, they all showed up, keeping steady pace and good company for their father, grandfather, uncle and friend. Jim was especially touched by his 27-year-old grandson who met him for the last three days of his hike. Together, they hiked through Springer Mountain, Georgia, fi nishing a walk that took over twenty years to complete. Waiting for him at the end of the trail, as she always did, was Joan.

Jim has a small closet, just off his study, devoted to all things Appalachian Trail. Maps, boots and shirts occupy the closet, all with an accompanying story. He removes one shirt and points out the white marking on the front. Called a white blaze, it’s what looks like a paintbrush marking. Those familiar with the Trail know to look for this marking on trees. It’s what guides the hikers. Once, while on vacation with Joan, Jim wore this t-shirt in a restaurant. It caught the attention of a few other diners, and a conversation was struck. That t-shirt, and conversation, led to a lasting friendship, one that’s covered many trails and miles over ten years. A familiar theme threads his descriptions his experiences: the views, the landscape and the satisfaction of completing a hike, but always, there is the connection to those he hiked with or encountered on the trail. “The very best part of my adventure,” he says again, “was the people I met along the way.”The hiking hasn’t been confi ned to the Appalachian Trail. Jim and Joan both are members of the Catskill 3500 Club. Members have all climbed each of the 35 Catskill Peaks above 3500 in elevation. Four of the mountains are climbed in the winter months and twelve have no trail. Hikers fi nd their way to the top with compass and map, then sign in at a metal box attached to a tree. The Tschinkel’s moved to Greene County in 1971, leaving behind New York City’s Queens for a quieter life. Jim worked for the New York Telephone Company for 36 years, climbing poles. He eventually worked his way into management, but missed the solitude

“The very best part of my adventure, was the people I met along the way.”


and outdoor work. He went back to the poles and stayed there until he retired, twenty years ago. While their children were young hiking was a family affair. On many weekends, Joan and Jim would pack up their six kids and set off for a new mountain to climb. He’d always bring along a paper sack, with the end removed and opened up. In big letters, they would write the name of the mountain and the date. At the top, a picture would be snapped, with all the kids holding the commemorative sign. “We have so many good memories of hiking with our family,” Jim says. His voice is content and peaceful as he recalls the past. After fi nishing the Catskill 3500, he moved on to the Presidential Range in New Hampshire. It was on those trails that he came across the white blaze for the fi rst time. Seeing that blaze, and then reading a National Geographic story documenting a young couple spending six months on the Appalachian Trail, set his wheels in motion. “I was so inspired by them. I said this is it. This is what I want to do.”Jim still holds that magazine, slightly dog-eared, in his collection of Appalachian Trail items. He has memories from each of the states, special places on the trail that stand out. In Maine, there is a place on the trail that crosses the Kennebec River. A volunteer sits in a canoe there, awaiting hikers. This was, no doubt, a chance for Jim to stop for awhile and talk. To make a new friend. In New Hampshire, high above the tree line, there are no trees for the white blazes. Instead, hikers stack rocks to guide each other. It can be so foggy that it’s diffi cult to fi nd your way. The trail is so long in Virginia, over 500 miles in that state alone. Jim says, “I thought I’d never get to the end of that one.” The Smoky Mountains bring up memories of bears. So many bears in fact, that portions of the trails have to be closed to keep humans and bears from

crossing paths. The rockiest of all the sections of the Trail is in Pennsylvania. Jim says many hikers hate this part because it’s hard to fi nd a steady pace because of the scrambling over the rocks but, Jim found it all fascinating. He wondered why there are so many rocks in the area, and learned about the glaciers that dumped them millions of years ago. There are memories and stories and special places all over the Trail. “There are 14 states in all, and each has something beautiful and different to offer - and remember”These days, Jim and Joan are staying close to home in Bethlehem, they spend quiet afternoons together hiking the small trails at Five Rivers Environmental Education Center. He dreams of perhaps one day traveling to Spain, to hike the way of St. James in Spain. It’s a pilgrimage made to a cathedral where the remains of St. James the Apostle are buried. A lofty dream, maybe, but it could be that Jim will always dream of the trails, even when he is not on them. For now, even though Jim has left the woods and the long hikes behind, the people and mountains and a lifetime of sweet memories will always be with him.

A letter from Bethlehem Town Hall

Dear Bethlehem Residents,

You elected me to be Town Supervisor and I did the very best I could to serve our Town and all of its residents and businesspersons, because I believed Bethlehem should and could be bett er and diff erent. Diff erent in the ways

politi cs and government are conducted - to be more about public service. To achieve this I believed that we needed to aspire to a higher level of civility, professionalism, transparency and public parti cipati on.

Looking back, I feel honored for the opportunity you have given me to serve you. And I am pleased with the progress we have made together. Living by and judging against the principles I have described, we have made signifi cant and lasti ng progress in the essenti al areas of fi scal well-being, quality of life and government excellence.Of course, there are some things that I hoped to complete and did not get done. I will conti nue to work on these matt ers unti l December 31, 2011, my last day on the job.Looking to the future, I am confi dent that, together we have also built a solid foundati on for the work of Supervisor-Elect John Clarkson, the Town Board, our Town staff , volunteers and all who care deeply about Bethlehem’s future. In this regard I am now working on a daily basis with John Clarkson to ensure a smooth and eff ecti ve transiti on.

From the bott om of my heart I thank all of you for giving me the chance to serve you and our fi ne community, and for the valuable support so many gave along the way. The progress we have made to make Bethlehem diff erent, in all the right ways, would not have happened without your help, guidance, trust and friendship. And for Bethlehem’s future I ask you to give John Clarkson that same support and commitment.

Happy holidays to everyone and I look forward to seeing you around Town, where as I have always said, we will be neighbors and friends, fi rst and foremost.

Sincerely,

Sam Messina

Stay Healthy

this WinterEach winter no matter how hard we try it

seems that it is inevitable that we will get sick. With all the germs and stress that seem to come with this time of year, there are several things you can do to help prevent getting a bug. First, make sure you wash your hands and wash them often! If you aren’t able to wash your hands, keep a bottle of hand sanitizer nearby, which is almost as effective as washing your hands. Even if you are washing your hands regularly, try not to touch your hands to your face, which is one of the most common ways people let in germs. Second, make sure to avoid people with colds or the fl u. There are over 200 viruses that cause the common cold. Talk to your doctor and fi nd out the difference between what is the common cold and what is a more serious fl u virus. Consult with your doctor as to what over the counter cold remedy is best for you, especially if you are already on other medications. Also, consult with your doctor to fi nd out if the fl u shot is recommended for you. The air this time of year can be very dry. The heat is turned up so you can stay cozy, but you may not realize how much that heat is drying you out. Make sure to drink plenty of water, at least 6-8 glasses per day. Also, apply lotion all over your body each day as well as a moisturizer specifi cally for your lips daily or as needed to prevent dry, itchy skin and chapped lips, which can be quite uncomfortable. If you are still feeling dry after this, try using a humidifi er to put the moisture back in the air.

Need a boost of energy this winter? Make sure to get out into the daylight at least thirty minutes a day. This is harder to do this time of year with the days so short, but that makes it all the more important. Exercise when possible, even if you just take a walk around the house. Eat your vegetables! Vitamin C, which is found in high amounts in broccoli and Brussels sprouts as well as citrus fruits, may help cut down on the duration of a cold. B-vitamins, found in whole grains, green vegetables, potatoes, and beans keep your immune system primed and stave off winter bugs. They also help moderate your mood, preventing you from feeling depressed, stressed, anxious, or cranky. Depression can be a common feeling this time of year. Whether it is assumed to be because of the holidays or a result of a chronic illness, you could be feeling blue this time of year because of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). SAD usually affects people between October and March when the days are shortest due to lack of sunlight, which is a natural antidepressant. Talk to your doctor about what can be done to help boost your mood during these months. Feeling stressed about the holidays? The holiday season is often full of travel, relatives from out of town, shopping stress, and lots of food. Before you go reaching for that piece of pumpkin pie, grab a banana. Certain foods are natural stress fi ghters because they are low in caffeine and have carbohydrates instead of sugar. Also, make sure to save some personal time for yourself. Take some time away from the chaos of the holidays to relax with a book or movie. Delmar Place wishes everyone a happy and healthy holiday season!

areas outside – in a woodpile, a pile of leaves, under a porch or deck and even up close to the foundation of a house.

Pet owners can help protect the health of their families and pets by making sure their homes are not attractive to wildlife or ticks. Reducing animal harborage, such as keeping wood piles away from the house, can prevent fl ea and tick hosts, like a rodent, from being close to your home. The best prevention for fl ea- and tick-borne disease is clear: year-round prevention of fl ea and tick infestation. Talk to your veterinarian about which fl ea and tick product is best for your pets.

I hope you and your pets have a happy, safe and cheerful Holiday Season.

Please send all your veterinary questions to Dr. Estra at: [email protected] or mail them to Ask the Vet c/o

Canterbury Animal Hospital 88 Delaware Avenue Delmar, NY 12054

Q: We had the fi rst hard frost last night. Does that mean I can stop giving my dog and cat fl ea and tick preventative?

A: Fleas and ticks are more than mere nuisances. They can cause tremendous discomfort in dogs and cats and, more importantly, they can cause disease. On-again, off-again preventive programs are not the optimal way to safeguard the health of pets and their families.

By the time a pet owner notices fl eas on a pet, the fl eas may have already transmitted infectious agents and begun laying eggs. Ticks can transmit disease agents to a dog or cat before the pests are even found and removed. That’s why I support the Companion Animal Parasite Council (CAPC) guidelines, which call for year-round, lifelong prevention of common external parasites, including fl eas and ticks. The guidelines recommend using parasite control methods that consider the lifestyle and health of the pet, managing the pet’s environment, and working closely with owners to prevent infestation and protect the health of the entire family.

Parasite control is important to prevent transmission of disease to not just our dogs and cats, but to humans as well. Fleas can infect cats with Bartonella (the causative agent of cat scratch fever). Tick control is also vital. Most ticks are potential disease carriers, transferring diseases as prevalent and concerning as Rocky Mountain spotted fever (Rickettsia rickettsii) and Lyme disease (caused by Borrelia burgdorferi) as well as Anaplasma. While no product can completely prevent all tick-transmitted diseases, disease transmission can be greatly reduced by keeping pets on effective year round fl ea and tick control programs.

Adult ticks are at their most active during the fall months. “Whatever you considered about ticks, their location and tick-transmitted diseases fi ve years ago, it is different today and will continue to be different in fi ve years,” says Dr. Michael Dryden a veterinary parasitologist at Kansas State University. “Reforestation, changes in agricultural practices and wildlife conservation efforts have contributed to an explosive growth in deer populations -- a key factor in the expansion of several tick species’ habitats. There are almost 100 times more white-tailed deer in the United States now than there were 100 years ago.”

Due to changing climatic conditions, fl ea and tick seasonality is changing. While the fi rst hard frost may have occurred, not every area has been affected by the cold temperatures. Fleas and ticks will live in the warmer

Do you have four-wheel drive? If so, it’s important to check the status of your four-wheel-drive system and be sure it’s working correctly — especially because most drivers don’t use their 4WD systems in the pleasant summer months. Be sure that the system engages and disengages easily, and that all drivers in your household know how and when to activate the system.

Snow is ComingSnow is Coming


“The smallest bookstore still contains more ideas of worth than have been presented in the entire history of television.” ~Andrew Ross

Sincerest Greetings of the Season Fellow Readers…December, for many, is a month fi lled with the activities of the Holiday Season. This year the “shopping season” started weeks before “Black Friday”. Preparing for the Holidays often brings a whirlwind of necessary obligations, and the joy of the Season becomes lost in projects, timelines, and days jam-packed with errands and commitments. This time of year is also one fi lled with surprise, wonder, joy, family and tradition. Often there is little time left for relaxing with a good book when there is so much to be done. To do that…one would have to slow the pace, take the time, which is precious at best during this time of year. I challenge you to fi nd a way to bring books into your Holiday celebrations. I just recently sent down Christmas & Winter themed books to my three grand-children who live on Fort Bragg in North Carolina. My grand-daughter Skye, just turned six and told me that she had her Christmas books already out on her dresser for her bedtime story. In the next few days I am sending down their Advent Calendar (complete with Hershey kisses) and a copy of Jan Brett‛s “The Wild Christmas Reindeer”. What a great countdown book to Christmas, each page beautifully illustrated in the manner of Scandinavian folk-art. Other wonderful Jan Brett books for children at holiday time are: “Who‛s That Knocking on Christmas Eve?”, “The Mitten”, “The Hat”, “The Christmas Trolls”, “The Gingerbread Baby” and “Annie and the Wild Animals” . Her books come in hardcover, paperback and toddler board books. You know parents, with your children in tow while you do your Christmas errands, books are a great way for them to pass their time in the car. In the past years, my husband and I have taken to making “themed” gift bags or baskets as gifts. We always add a great book as part of the gift. An Italian gift basket of pasta, herbs, pasta spoon with a Tuscan or Italian cookbook prominently placed makes for a great gift. If you have a budding artist, why not add an art/drawing book in the midst of the supplies? Crafters in your family would love a beautiful knitting, quilting or crocheting book in the mix with the yarn, needles and trim. We have a lovely selection of “coffee table books” with topics from sports to travel to celebrities to hobbies and decorating to car repair and humor. Many of these books are next to new and are totally gift worthy. Why not stop in to see what we have in store for you that could make an incredible gift.

Speaking of great gifts…natives of Bethlehem, Glenmont, Slingerlands, Elsmere, Delmar…we have the newly released book Images of America “Bethlehem” by Susan E. Leath. We will have Ms. Leath in our store on December 11th from 1-3pm for an offi cial booksigning. There are few locations where this beautiful pictorial history is being sold in our area. We currently have them on sale for $20.99, which is a dollar off the original price. These would make great gifts for any occasionAs the wind howls outside and the thermostat plummets, why not brew up a cup of your favorite winter cup and settle in with a good book…that will lead to another good book…in other words…how trying a new author or a new series? We have hundreds of books that are seasonal. Debbie Macomber, Janet Dailey, Sherryl Woods, Susan Wiggs, Richard Paul Evans…John Grisham and David Baldacci have Christmas based novels. These are just a few that have written holiday themed stories which are featured here at Tattered Pages. If you have never come into our store you can always take a virtual visit on our website www.tatteredpages365.webs.com to get a feel for our store. You are also welcome to call to inquire if we have particular titles by phone or e-mail. We also reserve titles for customers. You can always save some gas money and time by contacting us by e-mail or phone to check on books for you. (Don‛t forget that all of our books are marked 20-60% off original publisher‛s prices…with currently 18,000+ titles…many in great gift-giving condition. We also have gift certifi cates available!) In your very busy lives, I hope that you might be able to carve out a little time to read each day. Whether you prefer non-fi ction, sci-fi , paranormal romance, classic literature, contemporary, westerns, action, history or inspirational…try new authors, try a new genre, read a review and share your love of the experience with others.

South Bethlehem: Bundled up against the cold, a group of young women get ready for a ride on South Bethlehem’s smaller bob sled in about 1915. The sled, with its wooden runners, was steered by pulling on the ropes attached to the front runners. This photo, and 220 others, are featured in

town historian Susan Leath’s book Bethlehem, on sale now.

Historic Bethlehem

The newest addition to Arcadia Publishing’s popular Images of America series is Bethlehem from local author and Town Historian, Susan E. Leath. The book boasts more than 200 vintage images and memories of days gone by.

In Bethlehem, images from the late 1800s to mid-1900s tell the story of the community’s history through its many hamlets, including Delmar, Elsmere, Glenmont, Selkirk, Slingerlands, and North and South Bethlehem. Photographs of churches, schools, blacksmith shops, hotels, farmhouses, and elaborate summer homes illustrate Bethlehem’s journey from a rural farming community to a bustling modern suburb.

The author’s royalties from the book will be donated to the Bethlehem Historical Association.

Time for New Year’s Financial

Resolutions Once again, it’s time to make some New Year’s resolutions. This year, in addition to hitting the gym, learning that second language and getting better organized, why not also consider a few fi nancial resolutions? What types of resolutions might you consider? Here are a few suggestions:

~ Contribute more to your retirement accounts. The new year means that you are one year closer to retirement. To help yourself build resources for the lifestyle you’ve envisioned as a retiree, try to boost your contributions to your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan. You can do this if you get a salary increase and devote at least part of it to your 401(k). At the same time, try to “max out” on your Individual Retirement Account (IRA). For 2012, you can contribute up to $5,000 to an IRA, or $6,000 if you’re 50 or older.~ Reduce your debts. Look for ways to cut down or consolidate your debts. It may not be easy, but it’s worth the effort because the lower your debt load, the more money you’ll have available to invest for the future.~ Build an emergency fund. If you don’t already have an emergency fund containing between six and 12 months’ worth of living expenses, start building one soon. Keep the money in a liquid vehicle — one that’s separate from your everyday checking and savings accounts. Without such an emergency fund, you may be forced to dip into your long-term investments to pay for unexpected costs, such as a major car repair, a new furnace or a large medical bill.~ Don’t overreact to volatility. In 2011, the fi nancial markets have been volatile, with big gains followed by big drops followed by big gains — a true roller-coaster pattern. Try not to let large, short-term price movements infl uence your investment decisions. Many of the factors that cause jumps or declines are not that relevant to long-term results — and as an investor, you want to focus on the long term. Concentrate on building a portfolio that’s suitable for your individual goals and risk tolerance.! Be aware of different types of risk. For many investors, “investment risk” strictly means the possibility of losing principal when the value of an investment drops.

Consequently, to cut back on their risk in the face of a volatile market, they may sell off stocks and load up on certifi cates of deposit (CDs), bonds and other so-called “safer” investments. But each investment actually carries its own type of risk. For example, if you own CDs that pay a 2 percent return, and the infl ation rate is 3 percent, you will lose purchasing power over time. And if you wanted to sell your bonds before they had matured, you’d have to sell them at a discount if the market interest rate had risen above the “coupon” rate of your bond because no one would pay you full price for them. Just be aware that no investment is “risk-free,” and try to build a diversifi ed portfolio that can lessen the impact of one specifi c type of risk.

By following these suggestions, you can go a long way toward making 2012 a good year in which to make progress toward your important fi nancial goals. So plan ahead — and make the right moves.

Dear Neighbor and Supporter,

In 1942, the Bethlehem Community White Christmas Festi val began as several nights of group performances. Donati ons collected were used to extend the spirit of community to our less fortunate neighbors throughout the enti re year. This spirit was so strong that the acti viti es of the Festi val conti nues today.

Bethlehem’s Community Fund quietly helps children, families, individuals and the elderly living in the Bethlehem Community whose needs fall through the cracks of traditi onal programs. Throughout our sixty-nine year history the fund has come to the aid of thousands of Bethlehem residents, young and old alike, quickly, without red tape. Every dollar donated is used for assistance.

Assistance is given anonymously with the utmost respect for the pride and privacy of the recipients. This is a long-standing traditi on of the Fund. School personnel, local clergy, Bethlehem Senior Services and other providers make most of the requests for assistance.

Children receive help with school supplies, tutoring, eyeglasses, clothing, camp tuiti on and other needs.• A Bethlehem Festi val Fund Scholarship is awarded to local High School students each year.• Seniors may fi nd assistance with uti lity bills, small home repairs, medical costs, a personal emergency response system • or pet care.Each December, over 100 Bethlehem families receive baskets of food, clothing and gift s.•

With the Holiday Season fast approaching, Bethlehem’s Community Fund is looking at a record number of 125 families needing food baskets. We will soon be ordering our turkeys and coordinati ng our holiday deliveries. Financial responsibiliti es and human service needs in our schools and community increase during this ti me of year. Our goal of $30,000 will enable us to meet many of the needs of our Bethlehem neighbors throughout the year.

Your gift will touch the lives of many people in the Bethlehem community, helping each recipient in a unique and much needed way.

Thank you for your support of this valuable community eff ort.

By Jennifer Cerulli, Pharm.D., BCPS, Associate Professor, ACPHS Four Corners Pharmacy

What is the best way to treat my cough & cold symptoms this winter to avoid missing the Happy Holidays?A cold is a viral infection of the upper respiratory track. It is also know as the “common cold” because children can get 6 to 10 colds per year with the typical adult having 2 to 4 colds per year. The season for colds is about late August to early April. Do I have a cold or the fl u? An Infl uenza viral infection, “the Flu”, starts off similar to a cold with upper respiratory symptoms, like a runny nose, non-productive cough and scratchy throat. However, it very rapidly and suddenly progresses to a high fever with headaches, chills, and muscle aches. The fever can last three days with all symptoms lasting about fi ve to eight days. Colds tend to come on gradually and are usually distinguished by a sore throat, runny nose and sneezing. Colds rarely have a fever above 100 degrees and symptoms last about a week or two. (for the latest information on the fl u go to www.CDC.gov)

What can I do to ward off colds?• Wash your hands – the best defense.• Hand sanitizers containing either ethyl alcohol (62-95%).• Limit exposure to infected people whenever possible.• Practice healthy habits such as eating a balanced diet, getting enough sleep, and exercising regularly.• Drink plenty of water.

Cough and cold medications might help reduce your symptoms, but will not reduce the duration of the cold. To reduce the risk of adverse effects, purchase single ingredient products (vs products with multiple ingredients) as the symptoms of a cold will vary over the course of time. Here is an overview of the different types of products to consider.

Decongestants: Decongestants make breathing easier by shrinking swollen mucous membranes in the nose, allowing air to pass through. They relieve runny nose and postnasal drip. Decongestants can cause shakiness, tremors, nervousness or keep you awake. They also can raise blood pressure, so patients with high blood pressure should not take them.

Expectorants: Expectorants, such as guaifenesin, have been promoted to help thin mucous and make it easier to couch mucus up. However, these products have not been proven to be effective.

Cough Suppressants: Suppressants, such as dextromethorphan (DM), control or suppress the cough refl ex and work best for a dry, non-productive cough, especially one that keeps you awake. Patients taking antidepressants and sedating medications should check with their health care providers before taking cough suppressants.

Antihistamines: Antihistamines dry up nasal secretions and are commonly used to treat allergy symptoms and itching. They can cause drowsiness, especially when given with other sedating medications. Patients with certain chronic conditions should not use these medications.

Nasal Sprays: These agents work right at the nose and may be used in patients concerned about the drug interactions or adverse effects of oral cold remedies. Some nasal sprays contain plain saline (salt water) to loosen stuffy noses and clear sinuses. Others contain decongestants which can reduce stuffi ness but can only be used for 3 days to avoid a “rebound effect,” resulting in more congestion. Zinc gel swabs or nasal sprays have had mixed results in studies showing some evidence to indicate it may lessen the duration and intensity of nasal cold symptoms. Should I take a decongestant or an antihistamine? This depends on your symptoms, your medical conditions and medications. If you have nasal or sinus congestion, then a decongestant can be helpful. If you have drainage -- either a runny nose or postnasal drip or itchy watery eyes -- then an antihistamine may be helpful. However, studies have shown that an antihistamine alone does not reduce the runny nose and sneezing due to colds. Also consider the medication’s side effects on your medical conditions or other medications. Should I suppress my cough? An occasional cough may clear the lung of pollutants and excess phlegm. If you have a cough due to a cold that is keeping you awake, sometimes suppressing it is helpful at nightime. A persistent cough that extends past the duration of your cold should be checked by your physician. What should I take for fever and aches? The very young, the very old, those who suffer from seizures during illness or those with heart or lung disease should consider suppressing their fever. Others, may consider it if they are uncomfortable during their illness. Young people (including those in their early 20s) should avoid aspirin. Acetaminophen, ibuprofen and naproxen are possible choices. Acetaminophen has less risk of stomach upset and interactions with other medications and diseases. However, everyone should ask their health care provider and read the label for use as these medications should be avoided in some patients and taking too much could have negative effects on all patients. What’s best for a sore throat? Medicated lozenges and gargles can temporarily soothe a sore throat. An FDA advisory panel has said that these ingredients are safe: benzocaine, hexylresorcinols, menthol, and phenol and sodium phenolate compounds. The panel suggests avoiding aspirin chewing gum as there is insuffi cient evidence that it relieves pain, and it may irritate mucus membranes. Don’t use lozenges or gargles for more than a few days. The medications could mask signs of strep throat, a bacterial infection that should be treated with antibiotics.

By Katherine Bellantoni.

Recent research has found that your HAIR can actually predict whether or not your heart is headed for disaster.We all know that stress is bad for us. And during times of stress, our bodies release cortisol (the “stress” hormone).Now, cortisol is a bit funny. That’s because too little of it is bad for you. Yet, too much is also VERY bad.Unfortunately, because of our busy lives and the way our society is structured, it can be hard NOT to feel stressed out all the time.This is not good at ALL for your health. Chronic stress has been linked to numerous health problems including heart attack and stroke.That's why researchers at the University of Western Ontario set out to discover a way to measure your "accumulated" stress levels...as a way to predict a future event, like a heart attack.Currently, you CAN get your stress (cortisol) levels checked. The only problem is that it only represents your cortisol levels on the day of testingThis means you can't see how much TOTAL stress you've been under, say in the last 3 months. That's why this research is so exciting. For this study, published in the journal Stress, researchers recruited 112 participants who were already hospitalized.56 of the subjects were in the hospital due to heart attack.56 of the subjects in the control group were hospitalized for reasons other than heart attack.The researchers then collected a 3 cm-long hair sample from everyone in each group. Cortisol levels in the hair were then measured.The study accounted for known heart-attack risk factors (e.g., diabetes, high-cholesterol, triglycerides, etc) in all subjects. Despite this, accumulated cortisol levels in the hair emerged as the strongest predictor of heart attack. (1)“Intuitively we know stress is not good for you, but it’s not easy to measure. We know that on average, hair grows one centimeter (cm) a month, and so if we take a hair sample six cm long, we can determine stress levels for six months by measuring the cortisol level in the hair, ” explained Dr. Gideon Koren, one of the senior researchers involved in the study.He added, “Stress is a serious part of modern life affecting many areas of health and life. This study has implications for research and for practice, as stress can be managed with lifestyle changes…Pretty interesting, huh? The moral of the story: Do whatever you can on a regular basis to reduce your stress levels. Your health (and your heart) will thank you.And remember, the fi rst thing in ANY stress-reduction program is to exercise. It’s a great stress-reliever .Once you’ve got that down, here are a few more things that can help:Vitamin C: In addition to being a great immune system booster, it turns out vitamin C can also help reduce your cortisol levels. One study published in the journal Psychopharmacology recruited 120 volunteers who were subjected to the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST). It’s a test commonly used to measure psychological stress. Those who took vitamin C had lower blood pressure, less subjective stress, and decreased cortisol levels than the placebo group. [2]

Breathe: Deep breathing is very effective at calming you down and lowering your heart rate and blood pressure. Whenever you’re feeling anxious or totally stressed, take a few minutes to breathe. Make sure you inhale deeply, into your belly. Then hold it for a second or two. Then slowly exhale. Do this 5-10 times and you’ll immediately start to feel calmer.Fish Oil: This amazing nutrient seems to do it all… protect your heart, your brain, reduce infl ammation, and on and on… But one interesting 2003 study also found that as little as 7-8 grams of fi sh oil daily can be effective at reducing high cortisol levels due to mental stress. [3]

So there you have it.

With what’s left of the holiday season, make sure to take a few minutes each day to “stop and smell the roses.” Being stressed out all the time is not good for you, so it’s absolutely critical that you make de-stressing a priority in your life.
