weather, we see people coming in to stock up on movies, music, magazines and, of course, books, said Peters. Have a movie/game day: Pick a theme winter is an obvious one and go with it for a day, or even just an afternoon. Happy Feet, Ice Age and Polar Express are a few good starter flicks. Or bust out the classic board games and have a friendly family competition. Tour the city: Winter is the ideal time to visit the often-overlooked treasures in your own area, such as the art museum, the public museum, or even the zoo, which remains open year round. Attend a community event: Often area groups and organizations will plan special events at this time of year, mainly because
theres just not a lot happening in the dead of winter. One upcoming event is the annual Celebrate Families which includes a resource fair, local entertainment, refreshments and childrens activities set for Feb. 10 at the Washington County Fair Park. Its an indoor activity during a time of year when theres not a lot to do, said Carol Bralich, family living educator with UWExtension of Washington County. Its a great way for families to spend time together and its something fun to do in winter.

Stand Up to Bullying
(Family Features) School can be stressful for many kids, especially if they have been the victims of bullying. According to Youth Ambassadors 4 Kids Club, an organization dedicated to eliminating bullying, a student is bullied every seven minutes in our country, and an estimated 77 percent of students will experience some form of mental or physical bullying during their school years. While the statistics are worrisome, there are measures parents and caregivers can take to help identify the signs of bullying and the anxiety it can induce so they can help their children manage through this difficult situation. Recognizing Bullying Bullying can take many forms, including hitting, threatening, intimidating, maliciously teasing and taunting, name calling, making sexual remarks, stealing or damaging personal belongings, and indirect attacks such as spreading rumors or getting others to exclude another student. Its also no longer limited to the classroom, lunchroom or playground. Today, cyberbullying bullying through electronic outlets such as text messages and social media sites has made this issue a 24/7 challenge. Bullying can have a significant impact on students, said University of Phoenix College of Social Sciences instructor and expert on bullying Dr. John Nixon. Children and teenagers who are bullied suffer from anxiety, fear, withdrawal, low self-esteem and poor concentration. Recognizing the warning signs is the first step toward ending the behavior. Signs that your child may be a victim of bullying include: Coming home with damaged or missing clothing or belongings. Unexplained injuries. Frequent complaints of headaches, stomach aches or feeling sick. Changes in eating habits. Loss of interest in friends or going to school. Mood and behavior changes. Trouble sleeping and/or having frequent bad dreams. Feelings of helplessness or not being good enough. What You Can Do if Your Child is Bullied Establishing a process for detecting, discussing and monitoring bullying can help in more effectively reaching a solution. It can be embarrassing for a child to admit that they are being bullied, said Nixon. And many kids dont tell parents about it because they are afraid of either being blamed for the situation, or they are afraid of how the parents will react. Nixon offers some tips for what you can do: Increase awareness Parents must educate themselves on the signs of bullying and realize that they are not alone. Communicate Ask children questions about how they slept or what they are looking forward to doing in school that day. Their responses can provide a
wealth of insight. Gather more information Ask teachers if they have noticed anything that would signal the child had been bullied. Also, check a childs text messages and Facebook profile for signs of cyberbullying. Develop an action plan Put steps in place to monitor the signs of bullying to see if it persists and engage your child regularly to open up communication about the problem. Follow through Its important to keep at it. Be active to both spot the signs of bullying and discuss them with the child to work toward a solution. If bullying persists, take action. Discuss the problem with the parents of the child who is bullying, if it is appropriate. Talk with your childs teacher. If the teacher is not responsive, escalate the discussion up to the principal or superintendent if necessary. There are more participants in bullying scenarios than just the bully and the victim. More often than not, said Nixon, there are bystanders. These are students who know what is going on and either encourage it in some way, or sit back and do nothing. We need more kids to stop being bystanders and take a stand against bullying. You can find more resources for helping students deal with bullying at www.a4kclub.org, and www.stopbullying.gov.

treats are virtually endless. Visit someone who needs company: Pay a visit to someone who could use a little cheering, such as a resident at a hospital or nursing home, perhaps, or an ailing parent or grandparent. Tracey MacGregor, director of marketing at Cedar Community in West Bend, said that while the senior living facility includes many long-married couples, often they dont have any formal plans for the special day. Last year an appreciation dinner we held landed on Valentines Day and we thought the turn-out would be low, but it was even bigger than usual, she said. A lot of the residents said they had nothing to do for Valentines Day. Enjoy a winter activity: The kids, of course, will be thrilled to go sledding or ice skating and a whimsical activity is also a great way to reignite the early dating spark between Mom and Dad. Acting like kids again is a great way to ditch your worries, reconnect and really have a memorable afternoon together, blogger Jessica Padykula writes on sheknows.com. Plan a movie night: While the selection of Valentines Daythemed movies dont exactly compare to the December marathons of A Christmas Story and Its a Wonderful Life, there are some classics the Charlie Brown special is a good place to start that can be enjoyed. Make some hot cocoa and popcorn and enjoy a family movie day. Go on a father/daughter date: This concept can be altered, of course, for mothers and sons, or whatever configuration one sees fit. The point is to recognize special bonds between family members. While there doesnt have to be a formal event, some organizations the Sun Lakes Service Area Girl Scouts and Milwaukee Recreation, to note two area groups deliberately plan around the theme, as both are hosting father/daughter dances Feb. 16. This is a great way for girls to have a special night with someone who is very special to them, said local Girl Scout leader Lisa Mazurkiewicz. Weve always done the event, but this year we decided to make it Valentinethemed. Check local listings for similar events, or plan your own. Create coupons and/or notes of appreciation: Show your love in a creative way by getting out the construction paper and crayons and making some no-expiration-date coupons for family members. The coupons can promise help with an unpleasant chore or simply offer a hug. Or, to put a different spin on the concept, each family member can write some of their favorite and most appreciated things about each other on a notecard and present them to one another. Fun surprises: Sneak a sweet note into your mate and childrens lunch boxes, write a message on the mirror, tie balloons to their chairs. Show your love in fun and unexpected ways. Send out old-fashioned Valentines: Make a list of the people you may forget to show your appreciation toward throughout the year the mailman, your childs bus driver, a favorite pastor at church and write out a friendly Valentine for them. According to Rubin, even simple traditions add great joy to the noteworthy days on the calendar. Traditions make occasions feel special and exciting. They mark the passage of time in a happy way, she said. I know that I enjoy a holiday more when I know exactly what were going to do, and when were going to do it.

By Jeff Jones The Go Red for Women movement a collective of time, energy, compassion and money of 25 million people nationwide has saved the lives of more than 627,000 women who have fought heart disease in the last 10 years. Although these numbers are promising, the fight is not over. Heart disease is the top killer of women and affects them more than men. Heart disease is more deadly for women than all forms of cancer combined, according to the American Heart Association. In recognition of the 10th National Wear Red Day on Feb.1, the American Heart Associations Go Red For Women movement asks that Women Go Red in new and bold ways to raise awareness for heart disease across the country. In the past, we have proudly worn red, noted Go Red For Women campaign literature. But this February, let's do more than that. Let's make sure that every landmark, every Main Street, every organization and every home in America goes red. Let's turn America red to shine a spotlight on heart disease in women. It's time to shout louder, stand stronger and demand change. It's time to come together in a movement that is not just for women, but by women. It's time for women to Go Red.

opening she had attended the night before. The onset of menopause even crossed her mind. No matter the cause, Montgomery was sure it was nothing critical. When her symptoms persisted, a friend convinced her to walk to a nearby urgent care clinic. She was transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital, where she had a heart catheterization procedure. Like many women, Montgomery was completely unaware that nausea and sweating are two major symptoms of a heart attack. At the hospital, Kim Montgomery she learned she had one artery with a 75 percent blockage and another with an 80 percent blockage, and she received two stints. Montgomery noted that genetics and diet are the two key contributors to heart disease. Her grandfather died of heart disease years ago, but he was 80 years old at the time. Her mother had been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation a few years earlier, but no one in her family had experienced a heart attack at such a young age. They were all athletes, running track in high school and continuing to exercise into their adult years. Montgomery did not connect the dots of her familys history of heart disease until after she had her heart attack. She also saw her doctor regularly and had great results at her company wellness screenings each year. Now fully recovered, Montgomery does cardio every single day and has adjusted her diet to be low in cholesterol and sodium. Shes also working hard to pass these healthy habits onto her 22-year-old son and everyone around her. We need to wake up, we need to know our genetics, and our eating habits need to change. It is a big issue, Montgomery stated. Staggering Statistics According to information from Go Red for Women movement: Heart disease causes one in three womens deaths each year, killing approximately one woman every minute. An estimated 43 million women in the U.S. are affected by heart disease.
Ninety percent of women have one or more risk factors for developing heart disease. Since 1984, more women than men have died each year from heart disease and the gap between men and womens survival continues to widen. While one in 31 American women dies from breast cancer each year, heart disease causes one in three deaths each year. Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women, yet only one in five American women believe that heart disease is her greatest health threat. Women comprise only 24 percent of participants in heart-related studies. Women are less likely to call 9-1-1 for themselves than they are for someone else when experiencing symptoms of a heart attack. Women who Go Red are more likely to make healthy choices: Nearly 90 percent have made at least one healthy behavior change. More than one-third have lost weight. More than 50 percent have increased their exercise. Six out of 10 have changed their diets. More than 40 percent have checked their cholesterol levels. One-third have talked with their doctors about developing heart health plans. The American Heart Association's Go Red For Women movement advocates for more research and swifter action for women's heart health. The movement is nationally sponsored by Macy's and Merck & Co., Inc., with additional support from their cause supporters. For more information on heart health or to become involved with National Wear Red Day, visit GoRedForWomen.org or call 1-888MY-HEART (1-888-694-3278).
Periodontal disease is an infection caused by bacteria in your mouth. It is more commonly known as gum disease. Coronary artery disease is a condition caused by a thickening of the coronary arteries when fatty proteins clot together and obstruct blood flow. This can lead to a heart attack or stroke. Periodontal disease and coronary artery disease may seem perfectly unrelated, but there may be a solid link between the two. Scientists have found that the bacteria responsible for periodontal disease may enter the bloodstream in the deep pockets formed when the gums separate from the teeth. These bacteria can end up clotting arteries by attaching themselves to fatty plaques already in the bloodstream. This process may contribute to arteries clotting faster, creating blockages. Evidence suggests that clearing up periodontal disease could get rid of a potential risk factor for heart disease. Preventative oral care can keep the bad bacteria in your mouth from getting out of control. Brushing and flossing regularly will help, but seeing your dentist two times a year for a professional diagnosis and maintenance plan is necessary for good oral and overall health. It could save your life and result in fewer fillings, healthier gums and a more beautiful smile. Make an appointment with a dental professional today.

Not all by-products are created equal. For example, a high-quality pet food often recommended by veterinarians, such as Hills (makers of Science Diet and Prescription Diet), only accept high quality by-product ingredients. However, bargain brands may use inferior ingredients that include feathers or other lower-nutritional parts of the animal. Guaranteed Analyses By law, pet food packaging must show the minimum percentages of crude protein and fat, as well as the maximum percentages of crude fiber and moisture in the product. This is not an indication of the actual nutrient content or a guarantee of nutritional quality. The minimum amount guarantee shows the lowest amount of nutrient in the food. For example, a product may have a minimum fat guarantee of 8 percent, but actually contain 15 percent of fat. The maximum amount guarantee may be 5 percent fiber, but the product may only have 1 percent fiber. Remember, if the actual nutritional content is not clear on the packaging, you can always contact the manufacturer directly via their product information toll-free number on the package. Nutritional Adequacy Statement The Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) sets the nutritional guidelines for pet foods sold in the United States. The nutritional adequacy is determined by one of two methods formulation and feeding trials. Feeding trial method This requires the manufacturer to utilize an AAFCO-protocol feeding trial using the food as the sole source of nutrition. The pets performance is documented when fed the food. A sample label statement might read, Animal feeding tests using AAFCO procedures indicate this food provides complete and balanced nutrition for maintenance of adult dogs. Formulation method This requires the manufacturer to formulate the food to meet AAFCO nutrient profiles for dogs and cats. Because it is a calculation of nutrient levels, and AAFCO feeding trials with pets are not required, this is a faster, less-expensive method. A statement on a product using this method might read, Formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by AAFCO Cat Food Profiles for maintenance of adult cats. Ages and Stages The AAFCO guidelines only govern food for three pet life stages: growth and reproduction, maintenance, and all life stages. Foods formulated for all life stages must meet the most nutritionally demanding life stage growth and reproduction. So while getting an all life stages food to feed several pets of different ages might sound good, in reality, this food is designed for pets under a year old, or for nursing animals and may not be a good choice for the nutritional needs of pets in other life stages.
