Dear OUR TOWNE Reader,

It is appropriate that I menti on in this Our Towne that I will not be running for a second term as Town of Bethlehem Supervisor. Loving this job as I do, and believing that we have accomplished a lot of good work together, I can tell you that this has been a diffi cult decision, involving both personal

and professional considerati ons. What I will conti nue to off er you and the Town at this ti me is my full commitment to these beliefs and hopes for the future:

I have always strongly believed that public service, and parti cularly holding elected offi ce has been my privilege, not a right – and I have been honored to serve you and our wonderful community for four years as a Councilman and now for two years as Supervisor. The strength of our electoral system needs to be in you, the voti ng public and your involvement and informed choice to support elected offi cials to serve Bethlehem, now and into the future.In our Town of 33,656 residents, in my judgment we are fortunate to have a wealth of individuals who have the experience, training and, most important, the values and principles to put public service fi rst, to serve the public admirably as Bethlehem Town Supervisor and in other elected capaciti es. Looking back, I am very pleased that we have accomplished a great deal of the agenda I set forth in my two State of the Town addresses.

Looking to the future, there is more to do over the next six months. That will be where I direct all of the energies and abiliti es on the job! The vision I have shared with you for Bethlehem remains the same: Fiscal Well-being; Openness and Transparency; and Quality of Life.

Here is a thumb-nail sketch of the major work that will be advanced over the next six months:

I. FISCAL WELL BEINGa. Develop a fi scally responsible 2012 budget that: conti nues to evaluate the largest budget items and departments; reduces town expenditures further; keeps tax increases for operati ons at zero or less; and signifi cantly reduces or even eliminates the use of reserve fund balances - while maintaining the high quality of essenti al services in our Town.b. Implement a strong capital plan for guiding the Town’s investment to replace deteriorati ng and costly water, sewer and facility infrastructure for 2012-16. The plan will defi ne: prioriti es, costs and taxpayer impact. c. Conti nue to advance the 2020 Implementati on Committ ee initi ati ves. It is important that we all keep our eye on the future regarding what is best for Bethlehem, and not be fearful of questi oning the status quo. In today’s world, if any organizati on stands sti ll, that organizati on is actually falling behind. Therefore, with fi scal considerati ons being of paramount importance, and with quality-of-life factors considered too, the 2020 Implementati on Committ ee work in the following key areas need to be carefully considered:

i. Modernizati on of Bethlehem Town Government, including terms of offi ce, eff ecti ve leadership structures and other matt ers.ii. Expanded Economic Development With the Vista Technology Campus in Slingerlands obtaining fi nal Bethlehem Industrial Agency [BIDA] approval, 2020 is now positi oned to be a partner with the Town and BIDA to pursue further revenue generati ng economic development in the Slingerlands Hamlet along New Scotland Road from the Blue Cross/Blue Shield building to the intersecti on of the Timothy Mosher Highway (Route 140), and in the Selkirk Rail Yard District. iii. Shared Services with the goal of maximizing the opportunity for internal Town savings, where possible, in large departments and small ones too.iv. Intergovernmental Cooperati on with the Bethlehem Central School District, Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk School District, the Library and the Bethlehem Fire Districts to achieve a number of goals, ranging from innovati ve economic development contracts, to consolidati on to the sharing of faciliti es. All opportuniti es need to be aimed at reducing taxpayer costs, becoming more effi cient and generati ng revenue.

II. OPENNESS AND TRANSPARENCYa. Providing streaming videos of Town Board meeti ngs to resident and businessperson personal computers to off er the choice of viewing and hearing Town Board meeti ngs at their convenience. b. Adopt a new and greatly expanded Ethics Policy for Bethlehem Town government.

III. QUALITY OF LIFE IN BETHLEHEM a. Completi on of several implementati on projects including: photovoltaic solar panel system at the Elm Avenue Park administrati on building; new fi shing dock at Henry Hudson Park, and several other capital initi ati ves.b. Expand ongoing dialogue between the Police Department and residents. And, implement a Bethlehem Police Bicycle Patrol program.c. Planning Initi ati ves:

i. Implement next step acti ons to foster more open space planning, including the creati on of an Open Space Program.ii. Obtain full passage of the Town’s Local Waterfront Revitalizati on Program from the NYS Department of State for for the 7 mile length of Hudson River shoreline in Bethlehem.iii. Finalize the Delaware Avenue enhancement study.iv. Appoint a member of the Agriculture and Farmland Protecti on committ ee to be the contact person to the Town’s Development Planning Committ ee (DPC).v. Analyze and approve all appropriate Zoning revisions as a follow up to the June 22, 2011 Public Hearing.

We have a lot of work ahead of us for next six month. It is focused on the issues that Bethlehem must address to remain a strong and vibrant community and I look forward to addressing these and many other challenges as your Town’s Supervisor.

Sincerely,

Sam Messina

Neighbors Next DoorNeighbors Next Door

You know how it is when the elevator is broken. That nice and easy ride to the ninth fl oor is now a trudge up each and every fl oor. Up, up, up...stairs and landing, stairs and landing...until you arrive, breathless and sweaty, wondering if that elevator will ever be fi xed. Everyone feels that way-right?Maybe not. There are those who actually chose the stairs over the elevator, and not just to dash out for a cup of coffee. They’re called stair climbers and they’ve turned it into a sport-a passion, in fact, a way of life.Glenmont resident David Tromp, 36, is a champion stair race climber. If you’re like me, you haven’t heard of competitive stair climbing. After all, it’s not an Olympic sport---yet! Perhaps you’re not impressed with his champion status. Well...let’s consider David’s numbers.There was the race at the Corning Towers at the Albany plaza this year---42 fl oors with 809 steps. David did that in 4 and 1/2 minutes (no, that’s not a typo).Then the Empire State Building Run-up---86 fl oors with 1576 steps. David’s time was 12 minutes 10 seconds (about 8.48 seconds per fl oor).This past June, he competed in Climb Albany at One Commerce Plaza. A short race at 18 fl oors with 363 steps, David’s time was 1 minute 30 seconds; an astounding 5 seconds per fl oor! I know, I know...I thought the same thing! Wow!One thing that attracts David to the sport is that it allows time for family. Rather than spending hours on weekend mornings running, he’s enjoying that that time with his wife, Sharon, and his children, Maggie and Patrick. The stair training with his team---all co-workers---takes place during his lunch hour. David’s day job for the past 13 years has been as an environmental engineer for the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation.The races he competes in, all charity fund-raisers, became personal for David when his youngest was diagnosed with severe allergies. He’s especially motivated by races that raise money for the American Lung Association because Patrick’s allergies manifest as breathing issues. For David, it

just feels like the right thing to do.David wasn’t always a stair climber. His passion began with running. There were many races and marathons before an injured hip caused him to reconsider. Running was replaced with the elliptical machine and then he began climbing stairs. In 2003 he competed in his fi rst stair climbing race and decided a life-style change was in order. David was 60 pounds overweight, and although he was able to to run road races with those extra pounds, he couldn’t climb stairs. Not well, anyway. He began training on stairs and still continued some running. He also made changes in what he ate. He never followed a diet, per se, but ate smaller portions of the foods he loved...a cup of ice cream rather than a bowl. He ate well, exercised, and lost the weight. Oh... and he climbed a lot of stairs.“And there”, he says, with a confi dent smile, “I found my niche.” Climbing is easier on the joints than running. There’s no pounding down on concrete. It’s only upward movement . He’s now been happily climbing stairs for eight years and the old injuries are gone. It’s all been upward since the very fi rst stair. When David speaks of his stair climbing victories,

there’s a humble sort of pride even though he’s taken 1st place in climbs all over the northeast including Philadelphia, Hartford, and here, in Albany. David has competed against the most elite stair climb racers in the world, most memorably in the Empire State Building Run-Up. That race is done in heats, where groups of qualifying climbers set off for the stairs at the same time. Many other stair climbs release the racers at intervals, every 20 seconds or so.

For the Empire State Building race, David and the other 90 climbers took off in a frenzy to reach the stairwell (go to YouTube Empire State Building Stair Climb...it’s worth watching) . Twenty-fi ve of those climbers are the best in the world. The funnel created at the onset of the climb slammed David into the wall, directly into the door. He knew precious seconds were lost, but he continued, jostling for position, and he looked for a chance to pass. The stairs are taken two at a time, and despite the earlier blunder, he was doing well...until the landing on the sixty-eighth fl oor. Another climber had spilled water there. Coming up and around this corner, David’s feet went airborne and he fell...hard. Still, he was determined. He picked himself up and bounded back, reaching the observation deck and the fi nish line.“These races are like short track speed skating”, David says. “You wait for the moment to pass, and you go for it.” He did go for it. David placed 13th overall and 7th in his age group. Not bad when you consider the competition. In fact, David is currently in the top 20 globally in the sport’s World Cup rankings.After we sat and talked, I felt sorry that I hadn’t seen one of the stair climbing races David told me about. I wanted to see the action. Luckily, we met in the coffee shop at One Commerce Plaza in Albany, the very building he climbed just the day before. He showed me the stairs and demonstrated how the climbers take them, two at a time. Still, I wanted more, so I suggested a race of sorts...me in the elevator, David on the stairs. He showed me to the elevators and as soon as I pushed the button for “13”, he was off. I really did want to beat him but the elevator wasn’t fast enough for David Tromp. The bell rang for the 13th fl oor and there he was, waiting and smiling. Slightly winded, sure...but there fi rst...where he likes to be.I wondered if he ever TOOK the elevator...if every trip up was an opportunity to train. Turns out he DOES step into an elevator occasionally and during those nice and easy rides up, people smile at him and say, “Hey, shouldn’t you be taking the stairs?”. David shakes his head “no” because even the fastest stair climbers around deserve a rest now and then.

Staying cool when the

temperature rises

With summer in full swing it can only mean that hot days and sometimes even hotter nights are upon us. Today’s population is made up of more senior citizens than ever before. Here are some tips and tricks to stay cool when the temperature rises.

1. Drink plenty of cool water to keep yourself hydrated and reduce your body’s core temperature. (Warm water won’t do this, and cold water might be a shock to your system.) Drink regularly, every hour, even if you don’t feel thirsty. Avoid soft drinks and alcoholic drinks that are diuretics and rob your body of the water it desperately needs. 2. Eat small, light, non-spicy meals. Eating heavy meals increases your metabolism and can raise your body temperature. Also, digestion robs you of energy. Since the heat is already robbing you of some energy, you don’t need to add to this drain by taxing the digestive system. However, don’t skip meals since it’s food that replenishes the electrolytes you lose through sweating and increased water consumption. 3. Wear light colored, loose fi tting clothes and also wear a loose fi tting hat or carry an umbrella for shade. Forget the fashion rules, follow the heat rules. (Royal blue and/or white are the best colors to wear for their heat refl ective qualities. This is why most tarps and boat awnings are blue.) For indoors though, forget all those rules and go with the “bare as you dare” notion. The

more exposed skin you have the more effi cient your cooling-by-sweating process can work. Also, be sure to tie up long hair, and if you have a beard, consider shaving in order to remove all that facial insulation. 4. Find an air conditioned place. If you don’t have AC at home, go someplace that has AC like the mall or other places that don’t mind people coming in and hanging around a while. Also, you can “AC pool” with friends just like you’d car pool. Go to a friend’s house who has a good AC system. 5. Fill two-liter plastic bottles full of water and put them in every empty space in both the fridge and freezer. Having cold water is a great thing. You drink cool water and use cold water to soak towels to wrap around your neck, wrists, and ankles where the veins and arteries are closest to the surface. This is one of the best ways to reduce your body temperature. Also, setting up a few of the frozen two-liter bottles in front of a fan can blow a nice cool breeze your way. 6. Try reducing the heat all together; do this by blocking the sun. Do what you can to reduce the sunlight that hits your house or comes in through the windows. Keep the shades drawn or consider hanging a white sheet or blue tarp as an outside awning on the side(s) of the house that catch the most sun. These tarps are also effective if placed on the roof as they’ll refl ect the sun’s rays.

Remember, hot weather is nothing to ignore, even if you’re not a senior citizen. Heat can affect everyone. Play it safe, stay cool, avoid exertion, and stay healthy. Also, when considering heat safety, don’t forget your pets.

Q: Summer is fi nally here! In past articles you’ve talked about summer pet safety regarding the heat and traveling with your pet. What other things do I need to be concerned about for my pets this summer?A: Summertime brings new opportunities for potential pet exposures to harmful and dangerous substances. As with all poisonings, early recognition and decontamination are key to a successful outcome. Here is some basic information for you to know about these exposures.

COMPOST BINS OR PILES: These piles of decomposing and decaying organic matter and molding food products have the potential to contain tremorgenic mycotoxins, which are toxic to both pets and wildlife. Even small amounts ingested can result in clinical signs within 30 minutes to several hours. Clinical signs include agitation, hyperthermia, hyper-responsiveness, panting, drooling, and vomiting, and can progress to serious CNS signs (including incoordination, tremors, and seizures!).

SLUG AND SNAIL BAITS: The active ingredient is typically metaldehyde, which is toxic to all species (particularly dogs). When ingested, metaldehyde results in clinical signs that resulted in the nickname “shake and bake.” Within 1 to 2 hours of ingestion, clinical signs of salivation, restlessness, vomiting, and incoordination are seen, which then progress to tremors, seizures, and secondary severe hyperthermia.

MOLE BAIT: Typically contain zinc phosphide. Other types may contain bromethalin. Neither of these active ingredients have an antidote and both can result in rapidly developing, life-threatening symptoms. When zinc phosphide combines with gastric acid, it results in rapid phosphine gas formation within the stomachThis gas causes severe gastrointestinal infl ammation, abdominal distension, and cardiovascular insuffi ciency (similar to symptoms of GDV(bloat). Pulmonary congestion and edema may also occur. Clinical signs develop rapidly within 15 minutes to several hours and include vomiting, salivation, abdominal discomfort, bloating, depression, labored breathing, tremors, and weakness. Once clinical signs have developed, the prognosis is guarded.

PLANTS: Most garden and food producing plants are non-toxic to pets and only result in mild gastrointestinal upset when ingested. That said, here are a few common summer plants that can cause concerns when eaten by pets:

Tomato plants contain tomatine which is found in the leafy greens, the fruit blossoms, and in small green tomatoes. When stems, vines and green fruit are ingested, clinical signs can include gastrointestinal irritation, ataxia, and weakness. Rhubarb leaves contain oxalic acid, calcium oxalate and potassium oxalate and can result in oral and gastrointestinal irritation causing vomiting and diarrhea.

MULCH PRODUCTS: Cocoa bean mulch, a byproduct of chocolate production, is the discarded hulls or shells of the cocoa bean. This mulch is frequently used for home landscaping

and is often very fragrant, especially when fi rst placed in the yard and warmed by the sun. This tempting smell of warm chocolate often attracts and encourages dogs to ingest the mulch. Clinical signs include vomiting, diarrhea, hyperactivity, tremors, tachycardia, tachypnea, and potential seizures.

SALT WATER TOXICITY: While it’s probably not at the top of your toxin lists, salt water is a dangerous poison, particularly if you take your dog to the beach! If your dog loves to play on the ocean beach, heed caution. Dogs don’t realize that salt water is dangerous, and excessive intake can result in severe hypernatremia, or salt poisoning. While initial signs of hypernatremia include vomiting and diarrhea, salt poisoning can progress quickly to neurologic signs like walking drunk, seizures, progressive depression, and ultimately, severe brain swelling. Hypernatremia needs to be treated very carefully with IV fl uids by your veterinarian. Help avoid the problem by carrying a fresh bottle of tap water and offering it to your dog frequently while he’s frolicking on the beach.

FERTILIZERS: Typically, limited ingestions of these ingredients generally do not result in signifi cant concerns and are a relatively low level toxicity risk. With most case of fertilizer ingestion, clinical signs are limited to gastrointestinal irritation and foreign body obstruction risk (particularly if organic compounds such as bone meal are mixed in). Keep in mind that there are some fertilizers that contain iron, along with other herbicide and pesticide additives, and these pose additional concerns and can result in signifi cant health concerns.

FIREWORKS: These can result in burns; injury to the mouth, eyes, or paws; and possible heavy metal toxicity if ingested. Fireworks can contain iron, copper, barium, mercury, phosphorus and magnesium in the coloring agents. Clinical symptoms seen with fi reworks ingestion include vomiting, diarrhea, jaundice, tremors and seizures.

BLUE–GREEN ALGAE OR CYANOBACTERIA: Growth of toxic algae can be found in both fresh and salt water throughout the warm regions of the world. Blue-green algae becomes concerning when algae accumulates on the surface of the water during hot, dry weather with wind that can shift concentrated algae mats along the shorelines. Affected water may have the appearance of pea soup with thick layers of algae on the surface. Blooms of blue-green algae can contain hepatoxins and/or neurotoxins. Exposures occur when dogs ingest or swim water that contains the cyanobateria. Clinical signs are vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, weakness, shock, icterus, tremors, seizures, respiratory distress and potentially death within one hour or up to several days.

Spring and summer preventative wellness visits to your veterinarian are the perfect time for client education – these visits also serve as an opportunity to reminder pet owners about potential hazards that may have been out of sight during the colder months of the year. Education has proven to be the best method of preventing exposures to potentially harmful substances in animals. This will help keep your pets happy and healthy through the busy summer months ahead!

Cold Facts About A/C How did we ever get along without air conditioning in our cars? It’s a feature we take for granted until, suddenly, it’s blowing hot air. In the past few years, many owners have discovered that fi xing an inoperative air conditioner can cost a few hundred dollars or more, depending upon the make and model of vehicle. The reason is that the old standby R-12 refrigerant, trade named DuPont Freon, has been replaced by R-134a. Touted as being environmentally safer than its predecessor, R-134a has been standard since ’94. If your older vehicle needs major repairs to the air conditioning system you can expect to replace refrigerant and the oil in the compressor in addition to the old components. You also may need to install a retrofi t conversion. Do not allow anyone to mix refrigerants. They’re not inter-changeable. You cannot add R-134a to your older air conditioner without fi rst fl ushing the system. Further, according to the Car Care Council, some substitutes are volatile mixtures of propane, butane and fl ammable hydrocarbons. Keep in mind the fact that if your vehicle is leaking refrigerant, you’re damaging the ozone layer. An annual inspection of the vehicle, including the air conditioning system, may help forestall costly repairs. Many automotive service shops offer AC inspection specials when warm weather arrives. Otherwise, ask your service center to evaluate your system before those hot and humid days of summer.

Summer salutations fellow readers… Summertime provides the unique opportunity to spend, perhaps, a bit more time reading for pleasure. During my years working in school, and as an Elementary School Principal, I looked forward to the summer months to “catch up” on reading for pleasure! Even though I am now surrounded by books daily, you would think that I would have so much more time to read! I try to make time for myself each day to read, often here with Seamus curled up next to me on one of our couches. In early June, my husband surprised me with a vacation to the southern Outer Banks of North Carolina. Our condo was right on the beach, the sound of the surf and the cool ocean breezes were ever present through the screened porches. Each day my husband set up my “camp” of chair, umbrella, boogie board and cooler just feet away from the surf. On the crystal sand I settled in for a day of reading, swimming and shell hunting. We would bring Seamus down around 5pm and could stay until 8:30 at night as the air and water were both in the 80s! It was an incredible, tropical get away (Thanks to Teri for sharing her home away from home with us!) that provided beauty, history, and relaxation for all three of us. I actually enjoyed three “beach reads” while there. I fi nished Tess Gerritsen‛s 7th book in her Rizzoli and Isles series, “The Keepsake”. I love these mysteries which feature Detective Jane Rizzoli and her friend, medical examiner, Maura Isles. (There is also a TV series, which interprets the book series very well, called Rizzoli & Isles which returns to TNT on July 11th. ) I fi nished another one of my “guilty pleasures” a paranormal romance by Kim Harrison which features her bounty hunter, Rachel Morgan, a white witch, and her partners who

consist of a vampire and an overly protective garden pixie. (when I state this I can just see my English professors cringing, except for Sister Kitty Hanley who loved Sci-fi .) My third book was lent to me by a loyal store customer, Ann, who shared her copy of Joe Hill‛s “20th Century Ghosts”. I have mentioned Joe Hill in a previous column. He is Stephen King‛s son and wrote one of the scariest books I have ever read, “Heart Shaped Box”. 20th Century Ghosts is a series of short stories, much in the tradition of his father‛s tales from the dark side, outer limits, twilight zone vein. My latest book that I am reading is “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter”. Now before you think that I have gone completely bizarre in my reading choice, this is a well-acclaimed, well researched novel that is part of a rising genre called “literature mash-ups”. Written by Seth Graheme-Smith, he fi rst presented this genre with “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies” that hit the bestsellers list at #3 in 2009. There have been several other mash-ups published by others, but his have a quality of writing that makes them not only enjoyable, but even believable! In the summer, school age children often have assigned reading lists. Some dread that these books are “assigned” and may be reluctant to get started. If they were not provided with a suggested reading list, there are several suggested lists on the internet under your child‛s age or grade level. The best way to have your child become a lover of reading, is fi rst of all, for you to set the example. I privately cringe when parents come in looking to fi nd books for their child, but then announce that they aren‛t much into reading themselves! Yikes! If you read for pleasure in front of your child, it will seem like a natural activity. Even if you only read magazines, newspaper or cookbooks, if you embody a love of reading, likely your child will as well. Find time to read along with your child and have your own unique book discussion. Your child could keep his/her writing skills active while keeping a reading journal. Though we all want our children to read for pleasure, some guidance

may make the experience more meaningful. If you read the same book along with your child, you could also take notes or pose questions. I always squeezed some book discussion time into our car rides, while doing dishes, or working on a task together with my child in the past. Rainy days were the best! The TV would not come on and the books would come out. Sometimes we found non-fi ction books to be our inspiration for the day. I remember reading dinosaur books and drawing a mural on a roll of large white paper, on the kitchen fl oor, with my sons. The mural was complete with volcanoes, swamps and dinosaurs. After reading a series of Native American stories, we created a teepee made from broom and mop handles and blankets held together with clothes pins. We read inside the teepee and my youngest even napped with his book and favorite teddy bear under his arm. I suggest that for any of you whose children are independent level of reading (perhaps third grade and above) keep a reading/writing response journal where they would write periodically while reading their selection. Have them note the following: title, author, setting, character names, main problem, what do you think will happen next, how was the problem resolved, what part did you enjoy best etc. When doing this they keep their “hand” in writing as a response to written material. If they have a book report to do, they will have key facts available as they review the book. Much better than…”I forgot”…when asked to recall a book. I also suggested that during the summer that you dip back into your “reading list”. Pulling out a “required reading” of days gone by can be a wonderful experience. With a more mature eye, a little distance between the fi rst time you read this book, or just a variety of life experiences can make a book all the more meaningful. For readers in grades 3-7 we have hundreds of chapter books with well known children‛s authors such as Avi, Clements, Dahl, Howe, Patterson, Paulsen, Robinson, Sachar, Spinelli, Peck, Yip, and

Yolen to name a few. For your emergent readers we have leveled reading books as well as all time favorite young reader chapter books such as: Junie B. Jones, Polk Street School, Cam Jansen, Jigsaw Jones, Horrible Harry, Flat Stanley, Magic Treehouse, Bailey School Kids, Magic Schoolbus, Animal Ark, Pony Pals, Box Car Children and My Weird School series. With approximately 1,000 picture and board books with everything from Sesame Street, Disney, Arthur, Clifford, Franklin, to Dr. Seuss, we are sure to have something your youngest child might enjoy. Our store receives approximately 250 books per week from customers to add to our inventory… receiving many books published within the last few months! We currently have over 18,000 books in stock all at a reduction of 20-60% off the original prices. All of our books are on our database, so we encourage you to call us to see if we have something in stock. (way to save on your gas money…though we love to have you come and browse, visit with Seamus, and discuss your favorite book.) The month of July features all History and Military books at an additional 10% off our lowest price. (May I suggest “Flyboys”, “Flags of our Fathers” or “The Imperial Cruise” by James Bradley) Also we have Anne Rivers Siddons books on sale in our best selling fi ction area. May a book be a part of your summer experience…and when you are ready to look for a book…I‛d be glad to help at Tattered Pages Used Books. Until next month….revisit an old favorite book…share a great story with a child…fi nd a new favorite for your shelf…don‛t forget your sunscreen & a great read. Happy reading!Trish

Is Your Portfolio Like a Baseball Team? If you’re a baseball fan, you’re no doubt aware that the MLB All-Star Game is being played on July 12. But while you’ll probably appreciate the grace and skill of the players, you may not realize just how much a baseball team can teach you about other aspects of life — such as investing.

Specifi cally, consider the following characteristics:

- Consistency — Baseball teams need to be consistent. They choose quality players and must have the patience and discipline to stick with those players during slumps. As an investor, you should choose quality investments and have the patience and discipline to stick with them over the long haul.

- Diversifi cation — A baseball team doesn’t have just one type of player — it contains pitchers, catchers, infi elders and outfi elders. Your portfolio also needs to be diversifi ed because if you own only a single type of investment, and a market downturn strikes that asset class particularly hard, your portfolio could take a big hit. Owning a diversifi ed mix of stocks, bonds, government securities, certifi cates of deposit (CDs) and other investments can help reduce the effect of market volatility on your holdings. Keep in mind, though, that diversifi cation, by itself, can’t guarantee a profi t or protect against loss.

- Unity — While a baseball team contains a diverse collection of players, they all strive toward a common goal. And the mix of investments in your portfolio needs to work together to help achieve the various goals you’ve established, such as a comfortable retirement, college for your children and a legacy for your family. To work toward your individual objectives, you will need to create an investment mix that’s based on your risk tolerance, time horizon, family situation and other factors.

- Flexibility — While every member of a professional baseball team is a good player, one might be better than another in a given situation. For instance, a faster runner might pinch-run for someone else. And as you move on in your “game” of life, you will need fl exibility in making your investment decisions. As one example, when you near retirement, you may want to reduce your exposure to risk somewhat, so you might decide to replace some — but certainly not all — of

your growth-oriented vehicles with investments that can offer greater protection of your principal.

- Good management — Even the best group of baseball players needs a manager to guide them and make decisions during a ballgame. And to help you make investment choices during different times in your life, you might benefi t from working with a fi nancial professional — someone who knows your risk tolerance, investment preferences and long-term aspirations.

You may never fi nd yourself surrounded by the greatest ballplayers in the world — but remembering these traits can help keep your portfolio “in the game.”

Summer Sun and Protecting Your SkinIt’s that that time of the year again. The snow has melted and the temperature is rising. While we no longer have to bundle up and pull out our mittens to go outside, summer is not without it’s own set of unique risks. Sun exposure may increase your risk of skin cancer, premature aging and sunburn. It is crucial to protect your skin against the harmful rays of the sun, especially when excessive time is spent outdoors. By learning more about the rays of the sun and how to protect yourself against them, you’ll be able to enjoy your summer worry free.

What is the difference between UVA and UVB ultraviolet light?Ultraviolet light is a type of radiation that comes from the sun, tanning beds, certain types of lasers, and sunlamps. There are two types of ultraviolet rays that contribute to sunburn, skin cancer and premature aging. They are ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) rays.

UVA rays make up 95% of the UV radiation that reaches the ◊ surface of the Earth. UVA radiation is present at equal intensity during all daylight hours of the day and can penetrate through windows, glass and clouds.UVB rays are the principal cause of sunburn from the sun. The ◊ intensity of UVB rays varies by location, time and season. The most signifi cant amount of UVB rays are present between the hours of 10 AM and 4 PM from the months April to October.

How do I protect myself from Ultraviolet Rays?Avoid direct sunlight from the hours of 10 AM and 4PM◊ Seek the shade when outside for longer periods of time ◊ Avoid tanning booths and sunlamps ◊ Wear protective clothing such as sleeved shirts, sunglasses ◊ that indicate 100% UV protection, and broad-brimmed hats Avoid burning ◊ Wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen SPF 15 or higher when ◊ going outside *REMEMBER, clouds to not protect against UV rays, so applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen is important even on cloudy days Use at least one palm full of sunscreen when applying to the ◊ body at least thirty minutes before sun exposure

*Don’t forget to apply sunscreen to the ears, nose, lips, back of neck, tops of feet and along the hairline

Reapply sunscreen every two hours during sun exposure and ◊ immediately after increased perspiration or swimming

What is SPF and which sunscreen should I use?SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. SPF indicates the ability of the sunscreen product to protect against sunburn. A common misbelief regarding SPF is that it is related to time of exposure. However, the intensity of ultraviolet rays are different throughout the day. SPF is related to the amount of sun exposure, rather than time of exposure. Sunscreens that have a SPF of 15 block approximately 93% of UVB, while SPF 30 blocks 96.7% and a sunscreen that is SPF 40 blocks 97.5% of UVB rays. It is important to realize that SPF and sun protection is not proportional. This means that a sunscreen with SPF 20 does not provide twice as

much protection as a SPF 10 sunscreen. Broad-spectrum sunscreens help protect against both UVA and UVB rays.

Sunscreen SPF is divided into four categories:

1. Low protection (SPF 6-10)2. Medium protection (SPF 15-25)3. High protection (SPF 30-50)4. Very high protection (SPF 50+)

Certain ingredients on the label of sunscreens indicate broad-spectrum protection. These ingredients include: benzophenones (oxybenzone), cinnamates (octinoxate, cinoxate), ecamsule (Mexoryl SX), sulisobenzone, salicylates, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide and avobenzone (Parsol 1789). Look for these ingredients when buying a sunscreen to ensure optimal protection against both UVA and UVB rays.

What common prescription medications may increase sun sensitivity?There are many prescription medications that may cause an increase in sun sensitivity, causing a higher tendency to burn. If taking a medication that may increase your sensitivity to sun, it is especially important to be cautious when going outdoors. These are some of the most common medications that increase sun sensitivity. It is important to consult your doctor or pharmacist about possible side effects concerning your particular medications.

Antibiotics: ◊ doxycycline, minocycline, tetracycline, ciprofl oxacin, levofl oxacin (Levaquin), moxifl oxacin (Avelox), azithromycin (Zithromax), metronidazole (Flagyl), sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (Bactrim), sulfasalazine, sulfi soxazole Skin medications: ◊ adapalene gel (Differin), tretinoin topical (Retin-A, Renova), isotretinoin (Accutane), tazarotene (Tazorac)Antihistamines:◊ Benadryl Cardiovascular: ◊ furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide, amiodarone, nifedipine, quinidine, diltiazem Malaria medications: ◊ chloroquine, quinine, hydroxychloroquine Antifungals: ◊ itrazonazole, ketoconazole, terconazole, griseofl ovin, fl ucytosine, voriconazole

TOOTH TIPS BY

NELSON DENTAL HEALTHCARE

Eight Steps to Dental Health It takes more than just brushing.

OK, so you know about brushing and fl ossing. But there are other steps you should take if you want to keep your teeth for a lifetime. Some people assume they will lose their teeth as they age. That doesn't have to happen. David A. Albert, D.D.S., M.P.H., suggests these steps to keep your teeth and your mouth healthy. Dr. Albert is an assistant professor of clinical dentistry at the Columbia University College of Dental Medicine. Step 1: Understand your own oral-health needs. "Your oral health depends on many factors," Dr. Albert said. "These include what you eat, the type and amount of saliva in your mouth, your habits, your overall health and your oral hygiene routine."

Changes in your overall health status often result in changes in your oral health. "For example, many medicines, including more than 300 common drugs, can reduce the amount of saliva in your mouth, resulting in dry mouth," he said.

"Women who are pregnant go through oral changes. This often includes infl ammation of the gums, which is called pregnancy gingivitis. Patients with asthma often breathe through their mouths, particularly when sleeping. This can result in dry mouth and increased plaque formation and gingivitis." Step 2: Commit to a daily oral-health routine. Talk to your dentist or dental hygienist about your oral health practices. Based on the discussion, come up with an effective routine. It should be easy to follow and should take your situation into account. For example, if you are taking medicine that dries your mouth, you may want to use fl uoride every day. Pregnant women, people with health conditions such as diabetes, and people with braces also may want or need special daily care. Step 3: Use fl uoride. Everyone can benefi t from fl uoride, not just children. Fluoride strengthens developing teeth in children. It also helps prevent decay in adults and children. Toothpastes and mouthwashes are good sources of fl uoride. Your dentist can prescribe a stronger concentration of fl uoride in a gel, toothpaste or rinse if you need it.

Step 4: Brush and fl oss to remove plaque. Everyone should brush at least twice a day. It's even better to brush three times a day or after every meal. In addition, you should fl oss at least once a day. These activities remove plaque, which is a complex mass of bacteria that constantly forms on your teeth. If plaque isn't removed every day, it can

turn the sugars found in most foods and drinks into acids that lead to decay. Bacteria in plaque also cause gingivitis and other periodontal diseases. It's important to brush and fl oss correctly and thoroughly. You need to remove plaque from all sides of the tooth and where the tooth meets the gums. If plaque is not removed, it can lead to gum problems and cavities. Step 5: Limit snacks, particularly those high in simple sugars, and eat a balanced diet. Every time you eat, bits of food become lodged in and around your teeth. This food provides fuel for the bacteria in plaque. The bacteria produce acid. Each time you eat food containing sugars or starches (complex sugars), your teeth are exposed to these acids for 20 minutes or more. This occurs more often if you eat snacks and the food stays on your teeth for a while. These repeated acid attacks can break down the enamel surface of your teeth, leading to a cavity. If you must snack, brush your teeth or chew sugarless gum afterward.

A balanced diet is also important. Not getting enough minerals and vitamins can affect your oral health, as well as your general health. Step 6: If you use tobacco in any form, quit. Smoking or using smokeless tobacco increases your risk of oral cancer, gingivitis, pertinacities and tooth decay. Using tobacco also contributes to bad breath and stains on your teeth. Step 7: Examine your mouth regularly. Even if you visit your dentist regularly, you are in the best position to notice changes in your mouth. Your dentist and dental hygienist see you only a few times a year, but you can examine your mouth weekly to look for changes that might be of concern. These changes could include:Swollen gumsChipped teethDiscolored teethSores or lesions on your gums, cheeks or tongue A regular examination is particularly important for tobacco users, who are at increased risk of developing oral cancer. If you smoke or use smokeless tobacco, your dentist or dental hygienist can show you where a sore, spot, patch or lump is most likely to appear. Step 8: Visit the dental offi ce regularly. Talk to your dentist about how often you should visit. If you have a history of cavities or crown and bridge work, or are wearing braces, you should visit the dentist more often. Some people, such as diabetics or smokers, have more gum disease than the general population. They also should visit the dentist more often. People with suppressed immune systems also are more likely to have dental problems. Examples include people who are infected with HIV or are receiving cancer treatment. More frequent visits for these groups are important to maintain good oral health.
