recently completed aSCMA USA 4 CornersTour. The 64-year-oldmotorcycle enthusiastleft Bangor on June 16thand started in Key West,Florida, then went to

San Ysidro, California,Blaine, Washington andMadawaska, Maine.“I love riding,” he said.

“The most beautiful partwas the CascadeMountains.”Bryan’s bike is a

Honda Goldwing whichhe bought in December,2008 and has 92,000miles.Bryan was the first

person from PA to finishthis year’s ride. Hemade seventy sevenstops for gas and spent$1,132.

The first day of his ridewas the longest, at 1100miles and approximatelytwenty hours. Bycontrast, the shortest dayof his ride was his lastday, only 361 miles.Bryan said that the

most challenging part of the trip was LosAngeles, where heencountered six lanes of

b u m p e r - t o - b u m p e r traffic, which didn’tsurprise him.Among the most

interesting and uniquesights he encountered

Klein Completes SCMA USA 4 Corners Tour

was a park in Mainededicated to the four corners riders. He

purchased a brick withhis name and the year hecompleted his ride to be

placed in the park.Bryan knew that it was

legal to ride betweencars in California andwhen asked if he didthis, he smiled and said,“Yes, I did.”One of his favorite

stories he likes to relateabout his trip was aconversation he had

with a state trooper inFlorida.The trooper told him,

“Don’t stay inHomestead or anywherenear Miami because themotorcycle might not bethere the next day.”Bryan recommends

this trip to anyone wholiked to travel longdistances.“There’s a lot to see in

this country,” Bryansaid. Not only did Bryantravel through the US,

but he also took a short

cut through Canada.“If it wouldn’t have

been for the GPS, I’dstill be up in Quebec,”Bryan said. “It’s allFrench!”Thanks to his GPS,

Bryan didn’t get stuck inQuebec. After 13 daysand 8,129 miles, he

made it to all four corners of the tour. After a total of 10,758 miles,he arrived home.On September 7th,

Bryan started his travelsyet again: He left OceanCity, Marylandandheaded to Sacramento,CA.

Pocono Health System Launches National Campaign to Educate

Women About Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism

Pocono Health System(PHS), in partnershipwith the Vascular Disease Foundation andthe Centers for DiseaseControl and Prevention(CDC), is launching thesecond phase of This is

Serious, a nationalcampaign to driveawareness and actionaround the prevention of Deep Vein Thrombosis(DVT) and PulmonaryEmbolism (PE) inwomen.The campaign encour-

ages women to be alertto DVT/PE symptoms,and to talk to their doctors about their risks.As many as 600,000

people are affected bydeep vein thrombosis(DVT) and pulmonaryembolism (PE) every

year, and more than half of those are never diag-nosed. DVT is a bloodclot in one of the deepveins in the legs, and is

caused by a number of factors. In many casesthese clots can be pain-ful.But some people don’t

have any symptoms atall, which can makediagnosis difficult.

Sometimes these clots break loose and travel tothe lungs, causing a

potentially fatal pulmo-nary embolism.The first year of the

campaign was designedto provide education andawareness to all womenabout DVT.Year two focuses on the

increased risk for DVTduring pregnancy andthe first six weeks after delivery. During preg-nancy, higher estrogenlevels make blood morelikely to clot and the

enlarging uterus canslow blood flow by com-

pressing veins in the pelvis.

If a Cesarean section is

performed, decreasedmobility during recoverycontributes to anincreased risk of DVT/PE.Spirit of Women hospi-

tals effectively imple-ment opportunities like

the This is Seriouscampaign to increaseawareness in their com-munities, and encouragewomen to become their own health and wellnessambassadors.DVT education will be

integrated into all child-

birth classes.To find out about PHS’

(NAPSI)—Designinga functional andclutter-free room thatgrows with your childcan be a tall order.The room should

evolve and adapt asneeds change.

Fortunately, there aresome quick solutions tohelp you and your children get—andstay—organized. Hereare a few tips to help:• Invest in dual-

purpose furniture and a

long-lasting closet.Closet storage can be

adjusted as your childrequires bigger clothesand different storageneeds.For example,

ClosetMaid’s easy-to-install, adjustableShelfTrack™ systemcreates a custom designwith open stock wireshelving that can be cutto size or you can

purchase an affordablewire starter kit witheverything you need inone box.• Make organizing as

easy as possible for your

child; consider remov-ing the closet doors andadding color-coordinating curtains.This will prevent finger

pinching, toe stubbingand the possible derail-ment of the slidingdoors off the tracks.• Label all bins or

pullout baskets to helpyour child with his or her reading skills. Writethe word and match itwith a corresponding

picture.This will make clean-

ing up a fun game to

play with your child.Play the game at thesame time every day tomake organizing a dailyhabit.• Add subtle pops of

color to liven up theroom. Fabric drawers,available in an array of colors from princess

pink to denim blue, are aconvenient way to storeitems like toys and

blankets-even clothes.

Grab one and do a quick lap around the house,

picking up stray items.• Incorporate a small

table with chairs in theroom.It will create an ideal

place for drawing, read-ing, projects and home-work.It can help cut down on

the amount of itemsspread out on the floor and around the house.• Designate a side of

the closet for each childif they’re sharing aroom; it will keepeverything in order.For additional tips, as

well as storage andorganization solutions,visit closetmaid.com or call (800) 874-0008.

(NAPSI)—You may beable to cut your energycosts with the help of h i g h - p e r f o r m a n c e

windows.The average cost of

energy used to heat andcool homes rose morethan 33 percent in thelast decade, accordingto data from the U.S.Energy InformationAdministration.Fortunately, homeown-

ers can find relief today by upgrading their windows. ENERGYSTAR−rated windowsare a good starting

point.They can currently

save homeowners an

average of $320 annu-ally when replacingsingle-pane windows.High-per fo rmance

windows offer evengreater energy savings

potential—up to 40 percent more than mini-

mum ENERGY STAR windows.To maximize savings,

look for high- performance modelslabeled as EnvirosealedWindows and Doorswith Duralite.These windows feature

nonmetal spacers that provide the best insula-tion and greatest effecton energy bills.The savings don’t stop

there. This year, hom-eowners can save up to$200 on their taxes byinstalling qualified

windows.For more information,

(NAPSI) -Home-owners today are look-ing for ways to protectthe environment and bemore eco-conscious.Better utilizing one of our most preciousresources, water, is atthe top of the list. Fortu-nately, there are newand easy ways to saveon water usage by recy-cling rain.A growing number of

homeowners are realiz-ing that it doesn’t makesense to pay for water tocare for your gardenwhen you can simplycollect water in a rain

barrel. Consider this:One inch of rain over 1,000 square feet of area yields 623 gallons.One inch per hour of rainfall yields about 10gallons per minute per 1,000 square feet. So itdoesn’t take long to filla few rain barrels withwater.But once you’ve

captured all that rain,how do you get it out soyou can use it? With aneco-friendly pumpsystem, you can easilyrun a hose or sprinkler from your rain barreland power the water out.Systems like the Rain-

Perfect™ pump fromRule® help in twoways-by harvesting rainand using the power of the sun. Since solar energy powers therechargeable NiMH

battery, there’s no needfor an electrical outlet.The pump and solar

panel install easily and provide enough pressure through anordinary garden hose torun most low pressuresprinklers, for keepingthe garden green, wash-ing a car or watering

just about anythingaround the house. Sincewater usage canincrease during warm

weather by as much as30 percent from lawn,flower and vegetablegarden watering, it’s a

perfect way to go greenand save green at thesame time!Increasingly, these

environmentally fri-endly efforts are beingrewarded. Since manystates now mandaterainwater usage, your rain barrel purchasemay qualify you for arebate from your utilitycompany or govern-ment. Rebate amountsand qualifications vary,so be sure to contactyour utility company or government for redemption instruc-tions.The RainPerfect pump

is available online andthrough select retailers.For a free tips bookletand more information,visit their websitewww.rainperfectpump.com/freegift.
