Cold weather health tips for seniorsCold weather can pose serious health hazards to

older adults. Falls and other accidents, hypothermia and depression are more common as the temperature drops. The key to safety is prevention. Follow these simple tips to ensure a safe season.

Watch out for iceMore than 1.6 million older Americans go to the

emergency room each year for fall-related injuries, according to the National Institutes of Health. But falls don’t have to happen, even when snow and ice make for slippery conditions. To lessen the chance of falling in cold weather:

• Stretch before going outside. Stretch-ing improves circulation and limbers muscles. Wear sensible footwear. Shoes should have low heels, good support and non-skid soles.

• Stick to cleared sidewalks and roads. Shovel snow and sprinkle sand or salt on icy areas — or ask some-one to do it for you.

• Use assistive devices when necessary. Hold hand-rails on stairs. Use a cane or walker if necessary to help maintain balance.

• Avoid going outside when conditions are poor. Exercise indoors. Stock up on necessities in good weather, or ask someone to deliver them to you.

Stay warmAs people age, their sense of touch declines. Arthri-

tis, diabetes, poor circulation, paralysis caused by stroke and many other conditions can cause lack of feeling, especially in the extremities. A diminished response to cold can put seniors at risk for hypother-mia (abnormally low body temperature).

To prevent hypothermia:• Keep your home’s thermostat set at 68 degrees

or above. If paying your energy bill is a burden, you may be eligible for fuel assistance. Contact the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/liheap), a public service of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, or the Eldercare Locator (http://www.eldercare.gov), a public service of the U.S. Administration on Aging.

• To reduce heating costs, make your home more energy efficient. Contact the U.S. Department of Ener-gy’s Weatherization Assistance Program (http://www.eere.energy.gov/weatherization) to see if you’re eli-gible for home improvements paid for by the program.

• Dress in loose-fitting, layered, lightweight clothes for warmth.

• Keep your head covered when you’re outdoors. A great deal of body heat is lost through the head.

• Wear mittens or gloves outdoors.• Eat well. Food provides the body with energy.

Remember, calories are a measure of heat! Seniors who have difficulty preparing their own food can have a member organization of the Meals on Wheels Asso-ciation of America (MOWAA) deliver nutritious meals (http://www.mowaa.org).

• Be alert for symptoms of hypothermia and frost-bite. Hypothermia symptoms include slurred speech, sluggishness, confusion, dizziness, shallow breathing, unusual behavior and slow, irregular heartbeat. Frost-bite symptoms include gray, white or yellow skin dis-coloration, numbness and a waxy feeling to the skin. If either of these conditions is suspected, get immediate emergency help. Warm the body, but avoid rubbing tender skin.

Reduced sensitivity to temperature can also cause burns from too-hot water. To prevent burns:

• Set the temperature on the hot water heater to 120 degrees or lower.

• When using faucets, turn on cold water first and then add hot water. When turning off the water, shut off hot water first and then cold.

Protect your skinAs we age our skin becomes thinner and drier and

thus more susceptible to tears. In addition, certain medications can thin already fragile nasal tissue, cre-ating a risk of nosebleeds. To lessen the possibility of dangers associated with dryness:

• Keep room air moist. Add a humidifier to your heating unit, if possible, or purchase a separate humidifier or vaporizer. Another option is to place a pan filled with water near a heat source such as a radiator. Remember to change the water daily.

• Keep your body moist! Drink plenty of water and other fluids. Eat foods with high water content like soups and vegetables.

• Moisturize your skin with creams or lotions. Use nasal lubricants or petroleum jelly to protect the lin-ing of the nose.

Keep your spirits highPerhaps the most devastating threat to seniors in

wintertime is depression. Inclement weather can restrict activities and opportunities to mingle with others. The isolation and loneliness that afflict many seniors become even worse when the weather is harsh. Shorter days mean less sunlight, which can also contribute to depression. To prevent depression:

• Socialize. Make an effort to visit with family and friends. Contact a local Council on Aging for help locating transportation services, senior centers and social activities.

• When the weather is too harsh for travel, pick up the phone and call a friend or relative for a chat.

Be prepared for an emergencyWinter storms can mean power outages and resul-

tant loss of heat, water and telephone services. Inclement weather can mean difficulty going out for necessary supplies. Be prepared for emergencies:

• Stock up on food and fresh water. Some Meals on Wheels programs provide frozen emergency food packs that can be heated on days when there is no delivery.

• Keep batteries, candles, flashlights, Sterno fuel, extra blankets and a battery-operated radio on hand.

• Don’t wait for emergencies to develop a system of communication. Everyone living alone should develop a “buddy system.”

‘Stage 212 seeking submissions for 2015 season

LASALLE — Stage 212 in LaSalle is currently seeking

submissions from directors for the 2015 season.

The organization is seeking well-known, highly recogniz-able shows for the winter, spring, summer and fall slots, but will also entertain propos-als for special “5th Show” pro-ductions, typically small cast and a little out of the ordi-nary, to run in slots outside of the regular season.

Winter productions are typically small musicals or comedy/dramas, the spring and fall shows are comedy/dramas and the summer pro-duction is traditionally a big musical, but other propos-als will be considered. The organization will consider all

submissions, including repeats of past shows if they have not been performed in the last 20 years.

Anyone interested in sub-mitting a play for consider-ation should contact Natalie Smigel at 815-224-3025 or email [email protected] for application information. Visi-tors to stage212.org will find a reference list of all produc-tions Stage 212 has put on in their history. Applications are due March 1 and should be emailed to [email protected], dropped off at the Stage 212 box office, 700 First St., LaSalle, during regular office hours or mailed to Stage 212, Inc. P.O. Box 198, LaSalle, IL

61301. A final selection will be made for recommendation to the Management Committee of Stage 212 in May.

For more information about its current season, call 815-224-3025.

Food courtWith Valentine’s Day approaching, you might be

having some extra company over to your home. Why not think about preparing a brunch. Brunches are usually a hit for everyone.

An Apple for Breakfast4 to 5 tart cooking apples, peeled, sliced3/4 cup chopped pecans1/2 cup golden raisins6 tablespoon packed brown sugar1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon1/4 cup (1/2 stick) margarine6 eggs1 1/2 cups orange juice1 cup flour3/4 teaspoon salt3 tablespoons sugarExtra cinnamonMaple syrup

In large skillet, sauté apples, pecans, raisins, brown sugar, cinnamon and margarine until apples begin to soften, about 6 minutes; stir often. Place in a buttered 9-by-13-inch baking dish. In mixing bowl, combine eggs, orange juice, flour and salt; beat slowly until mixture is smooth and stir around edges of bowl. Pour over apple mixture. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoon sugar and a little cinnamon. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for about 20 to 25 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center of casserole comes out clean. Serve with maple syrup. This is really good way to serve with your bacon and eggs and to have fruit with your brunch.

Breakfast Bake1 pound hot sausage, cooked and crumbled2 tablespoons dried onion flakes1 cup shredded cheddar cheese1 cup biscuit mix1/4 teaspoon salt1/4 teaspoon pepper5 eggs2 cups milk

Uncover and bake at 350° for about 35 minutes or until golden brown. When serving, cut into squares and lift up with square spatula so the brown sugar mixture comes with each serving.

BCGS is now a FamilySearch affiliate library

PRINCETON — The Bureau County Genea-logical Society is remind-ing the public that it is a FamilySearch affiliate library.

The designation means library patrons will have greater and more con-venient access to the wealth of genealogi-cal resources available through FamilySearch.

FamilySearch is the world’s largest reposi-tory of free genealogi-cal records and man-ages the famous Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah. It has amassed billions of birth, marriage, death, census, land, and court records of genealogical signifi-cance from more than 130 countries.

FamilySearch is extending access to its collections by circulating microfilms of the histor-ic records through select public libraries. The Bureau County Genea-logical Society is now one of those libraries. It is a priceless resource for local residents interested in discovering their fam-

ily trees.Since only a small por-

tion (less than 5 percent) of the world’s genealogi-cal records are online, researchers can easily access FamilySearch’s extensive collection by traveling no farther than the BCGS Library at 629 S. Main St. in Princeton.

There is a nominal fee payable to Fami-lySearch to cover rental and mailing when order-ing a microfilm. Patrons can search the Family History Library Catalog online at http://www.FamilySearch.org to see what records are avail-able.

Orders must be placed from home using a cred-it card. Once the film arrives at BCGS, patrons will use the microfilm readers there to view it. Assistance will be avail-able from the library’s staff.

For more information, call the Bureau County Genealogical Society at 815-879-3133 or 815-303-7386, or email ques-tions to [email protected].
