LOCAL & AREA NEWS Mandatory Life Jacket New Route 219 Pennsy Bridge Opens (Ridgway, PA) – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is advising drivers that the new Pennsy Bridge on Route 219 in Ridgway opened on Monday, October 26. Route 219 has been closed at the site of the bridge since June 18 when the north-bound lane of the old bridge collapsed.

Osterhout Street (Route 1014) will remain in a two-way traffic configuration temporarily while traffic studies are completed. The temporary traffic signals at the Route 120/Route 1014 (Osterhout Street) intersection will remain in operation until Osterhout Street returns to its “one-way” configuration. PennDOT anticipates that this will be for a period of approximately one week.

Work on the project began in late March and included replacement of the superstructure along with minor approach, drainage, and utility improvements. The bridge spans Elk Creek in Ridgway Borough, carrying an average of almost 5,600

• Joanne Culbertson • James Campbell • Dave Caldwell

vehicles daily. Replacing the bridge allows PennDOT to remove it from Elk County’s structurally deficient list.

Francis J. Palo, Inc. of Clarion has been the contractor on this $2.2 million project.

During this closure, a variety of detours were in use, impacting travel times.

PennDOT thanks area drivers, businesses, residents, and emergency services for their patience and cooperation during the closure.

Requirement Starts November 1

(HARRISBURG, PA)– When sunny days and fall foliage tempt the boater in you, don’t forget about your life jacket, especially if you are planning to use a canoe, kayak or similar small boat.

The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) is reminding boaters that beginning November 1 and lasting through April 30, they are required to wear a life jacket while underway or at anchor on boats less than 16 feet in length or on any canoe or kayak. The requirement applies to all Pennsylvania waters.

“Life jackets are the most important piece of safety equipment on a boat,” says Ryan Walt, PFBC Boating and Watercraft Safety Manager. “According to Pennsylvania’s boating accident reports, almost 80 percent of all boating fatalities happen to boaters not wearing a life jacket.

A disproportionate number of the fatalities occur during the months of November through April. During these cold weather months, boaters are especially at risk due to the water temperature and the risk of sudden cold water immersion.”

When a person is unexpectedly plunged into cold water below 70ºF, the body’s first response is usually an involuntary gasp. Without a life jacket, a victim may inhale while under water and drown without coming back to the surface. If an individual does make it back to the surface, his ability to swim is usually restricted because of a shortness of breath or hyperventilation.

Individuals who plan to fish, boat or hunt from a boat this fall or winter are encouraged to follow these cold water survival safety tips: • Always wear a life jacket, even when not required. Many models also of(Continued on page 6)

We stopped at two events this last weekend and brought back the photos for this issue. The first was that of a benefit party held for the Cindy Tucker at the Masonic Center in Bradford, and the second was the Ham and Turkey Party put on by the Rew Volunteer Fire Department. In addition, a couple of photos of those submitted by Mary DePalma have been included on the pages of this edition, while others can be found in the photo gallery……..It has just been announced that Street Dreams Car Club will once again be parading down Main Street Bradford to help usher in the Christmas season. The date scheduled for the event is November 20th, at 6PM, and entries for those who want to be a part of it, can be made through the Bradford Area Chamber of Commerce Office……..The Bradford American Legion Post #108 will be holding a Halloween Party, Saturday, October 31st. The Two Guys Drinking Beer band will perform from 8PM ‘til midnight, and plans for a costume contest are underway……The VFW Post #212 and Club will present a Halloween party entitled “A Nightmare on Barbour Street” from 8PM ‘til midnight on October 31st. The evening will begin with a DJ followed by the band and costume contest. We can also expect appetizers, finger foods, games, and more……..We talked with Jessica Dutton who works at the Bradford Ecumenical Home this last week, who told us that the home is in desperate need of nurses’ aides. She said, “This looks like a work opportunity for those who like caring for others.” And continued by saying, “Here’s a chance for that type of person to be paid for doing what they like.”…….Day light savings time will come to an end Sunday morning, November 1st. Clocks get set back one hour, giving us all an extra hour of sleep, no doubt, to rest up from our Halloween activities. (Outside of the silly ritual of the “changing of the clock” what other purpose does this serve?).......

We believe that political organizations, those that produce misinformation, disinformation, and propaganda to wage war on party members and other political parties should not be entitled to any special tax advantage. That these organizations are allowed to parade themselves as educational in function is a travesty of justice and should be fair game for legal scrutiny of the Attorney General, the IRS, and the Federal Courts. After all, who in the free world would consider that type of verbal political warfare as falling within the legitimate definition of “education”?

It’s A Matter Of Opinion...

Guest Columnist “Growing Arrogance ” -by Bob Perry The growth of arrogance cannot be ignored and it continues from the leaders in government all the way down to people on the street.

Starting with the atheists one can arrogance abounds with their conclusion there is no existence of intelligence superior to that of their own.

In the case of agnostics we find there is a lack of a belief system incapable of acknowledging existence beyond the material world with an arrogance of sorts by not figuring existence out and either becoming a person of faith or a atheist.

In maters of creation there is an arrogance when it comes to conception and the brain washing of women in believing that the life growing within their bodies is actually their body and can do with it as they wish. All who consider themselves as a believer and claim to be religious have a rational problem justifying the ending of life in process.

Considering the media, such arrogance grows as continually spin news facts creating perceptions that carry a false narrative misguiding recipients in reality on the most important issues of the day.

Considering the mob mentality, we are bombarded with arrogant brow beating messages that attack groups that are not deserving of such attacks like the current push attacking law enforcement. Real questions are unanswered as to who is promoting this arrogant push to demean ’the finest’ and are the protesters being funded. The social connection avenues on the internet have for numerous years been creating a growth of sociological imagi-

nation creating an unwarranted sense of self-importance that is producing arrogant attitudes that are unhealthy mentally. This narcissism is most prevalent in the political class as they must be seen and heard and arrogantly insist they know what is best for all.

As a result of this arrogance the actions and lack of actions, we the people have been led like sheep to a slaughter with a level of debt that cannot be paid with options that are not pleasant. Know there is the possibility of a new currency to be issued that will make the currency we now have worth 40 cents on the dollar. Such a change would create mass hysteria resulting in the closure of the banking system and a lack of funds to buy food and life supporting medication.

Considering the Justice Department is leading the way in arrogance as this politically directed arm of the Executive Branch of our government is selectively deciding which laws to enforce and which laws not to enforce. Added to this arrogance the Justice Department is selectively not indict people clearly guilty of crimes from the Banking System Collapse to people clearly guilty of targeting one political party in the IRS targeting scandal.

In the process of one’s individual growth a value system need sto be created which should include the principal of knowing one is not any better than anyone else as well as one is not inferior to anyone else.

Be as friendly to the janitor as the boss, and the level of one’s potential to become arrogant will be kept in check.

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCES Top 5 Money Fears – And How To Tackle Them Are you worried about your financial situation?

For the eighth consecutive year, the American Psychological Association (APA) identified money as the number one stress trigger, with 72 percent of Americans reporting stress about money and nearly 1 in 5 saying they had skipped or considered skipping going to the doctor due to financial concerns.

As for relationships, almost one third of adults with partners reported that money is “a major source of conflict.”

The following are common money stresses, and tips to tackling them.

You’re just one paycheck away from financial disaster. The Corporation for Enterprise Development’ recent Assets & Opportunity Scorecard reported that over 40 percent of American households are “liquid asset poor,” meaning that they have less than three months of savings to help them absorb a financial shock like a lost job, medical emergency or other unforeseen financial expense.

Tip: Build an emergency fund. After learning how to budget (http://www. practicalmoneyskills.com/budgeting), building an emergency fund (http:// www.practicalmoneyskills.com/emergencycalc) is the next essential step in financial planning. Saving and investing for other goals are equally important, but they should follow the creation and annual review of a healthy emergency fund.

You’re lost financially. A 2014 survey by economists from George Washington University and The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania states that only 30 percent of Americans could accurately answer three basic personal finance questions dealing with savings and investment returns.

Respondents from other major developed countries – including Germany, the Netherlands, Japan and Australia – scored roughly the same. It’s a global problem.

Tip: Identify your biggest financial problems. Does every dime you make go toward paying bills? No savings or investments? No emergency fund?

Once you’ve identified your main money blind spots, get help. Reach out to a trusted friend or relative with good money habits or a qualified financial advisor who can help you see where you stand, establish realistic goals and restart your financial education.

You’ll never catch up. Bankrate.com’s March Financial Security Index said that nearly half of Americans aren’t

-by Nathaniel Sillin saving enough for emergencies or retirement. Only a quarter of middle-class households earning between $50,000 and $75,000 were savings champs, putting away more than 15 percent of their income.

Tip: Forget the past and begin today.

Start by figuring out where you stand financially. Then address your expenses and whether there’s an opportunity to boost your income so you can make up for lost time.

Your money troubles are putting your closest relationships in jeopardy.

Money issues affect all relationships, but couples can be hit the hardest by money secrecy or so-called “financial infidelity.”

Tip: Face the music. Get qualified advice, quantify the extent of the problem, make a plan and share the details face-to-face with loved ones or business partners who need to know. Assume you won’t be able to control their response, so focus on solving the problem and vow to end your secretive behavior for good.

You can’t face financial paperwork.

When you can’t face bills, statements and other financial calls or communications, it generally reflects financial uncertainty in some form.

Tip: Get help. Pull the information together and get help if you need to. Put payments and other financial decisions on a paper or digital calendar with reminders to act.

Bottom line: Fear about money issues can affect your health and relationships. Diffuse that stress through education, assistance and positive action to improve your financial future outlook.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDE Healthy Lung Month: Adopt New Habits To Breathe Easier

(NAPSI)—According to the American Lung Association, lung cancer is the leading cancer killer in the United States and worldwide, causing more deaths than colorectal, breast and prostate cancers combined—but a few simple steps can help you protect your own life.

What To Do Don’t Smoke: Quitting smoking and avoiding secondhand cigarette smoke is the best way to lessen your risk of serious lung conditions.

Eat Well To Stay Well: Eating nutritious foods can go a long way in decreasing the risk of lung disease and cancer.

Remember to incorporate antioxidant-rich foods such as berries, nuts and dark green vegetables into your diet. Antioxidants prevent cell damage, which is a precursor to cancers and other diseases. Drinking adequate amounts of water is also essential to lung health—and particularly important for seniors because the sense of thirst weakens with age. Water keeps the lining of the lungs thin, helping them function more effectively.

Stay Active: Being active and partaking in aerobic exercises is especially beneficial to lung health. You can increase your lung capacity and improve endurance just by walking every day for 30 minutes. Try parking farther from a destination or taking the stairs instead of the elevator to get some aerobic exercise into your life. If you’re worried about the possibility of injury while doing physical activity, consider getting a GPS-enabled medical alert device, such as those offered by Bay Alarm Medical, to ensure you can get medical assistance if you can’t call for help.

Take A Deep Breath—And Then Another: A more gentle approach to strengthening your lungs is to do breathing exercises, which are great if you have limited mobility. Practice breathing exercises five to 10 minutes, three to four times a day.

One such exercise is called diaphragmatic breathing and has you lie on your back with knees bent and inhale deeply through your nose for three seconds. Place one hand on your stomach and one on your chest, taking note that your belly and lower ribs should rise while your chest is still. Tighten your abdominal muscles and exhale slowly through the mouth. Getting

AICR HealthTalk

-by Karen Collins, MS, RD, CDN American Institute for Cancer Research Q: I keep hearing about “sprouted grains.” What are they and what’s all the fuss about?

A: Sprouted grains are whole grains that are soaked and then put under controlled conditions until the heat and moisture prompt development of a small sprout. The wet sprouted grains can then be puréed and used to make bread or other grain products. The sprouted grains can also be dried for use as a cooked grain (just as you would cook rice) or ground into sprouted grain flour. Many different types of whole grains are available as sprouted grains, including brown rice, wheat, millet and buckwheat.

Much of the interest in sprouted grains involves potential for increased amount and absorbability of dietary fiber and some nutrients, including vitamin C and several B vitamins (including all-important folate). Grain products normally only contain small amounts of vitamin C. In sprouted grains, enzymes are activated that break down a compound in whole grains called phytic acid. Since phytic acid can tie up iron, this means that more iron from the whole grains and other plant foods eaten at the same time may be better absorbed.

However, research supporting nutritional benefits is not as established as some headlines may make it seem. Health benefits that headlines tie to sprouted grains are often referring to studies in rats and mice, or short-term studies of less than 20 people eating the sprouted grains in multiple servings every day. And some studies compare sprouted grains to refined grains, which could reflect the well-established greater healthfulness of whole grains in general compared to refined grains (like white bread and white rice).

If you want to try sprouted whole grains, they have potential to offer extra nutritional benefits. Nevertheless, if you are choosing whole grains and eating a wide variety of plant foods, those are the most important steps for getting bountiful nutrients and protective compounds.

Note: Raw, uncooked sprouts can pose food safety concerns and the Food and Drug Administration recommends children, the elderly, pregnant women and persons with weakened immune systems avoid eating raw sprouts. Learn more at Foodsafety.gov <http://www.foodsafety.gov/keep/types/fruits/sprouts.html>. into the habit of breathing mindfully will improve lung capacity in addition to being a calming activity.

Your body can become more susceptible to aches and pains with age but it’s important to pay extra attention to your

lungs. You need them every second of every day and keeping them in good shape can lead to a healthier, happier life.

Halloween Safety Tips:

With many communities holding trick-or-treat nights, PennDOT is urging motorists to slow down and watch carefully for little princesses, witches and pirates.

Children are unpredictable – and even more so when they’re excited -- which means motorists need to slow down and expect the unexpected. We’re also asking parents to help by reviewing safety tips with their children and helping them to choose safe costumes.

Motorists should be extremely cautious on neighborhood streets as children may dart out between parked vehicles or walk on the side of the road.

In addition to motorists, parents and guardians can help increase safety and visibility of children by following a few simple tips: •Buy or make brightly-colored, highly-visible costumes that do not interfere with a child’s ability to see, hear or walk; •Consider adding strips of reflective tape to darker-colored costumes or trick-or-treat bags; •Encourage children to carry a flashlight or glow stick; •Accompany young children while they are trick-or-treating;

Gov. Wolf Announces Expanded PennDOT Technology (Harrisburg, PA) – This winter season, more than 700 plow trucks covering interstates and expressways statewide will be outfitted with technology to improve location and operations information through a Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) pilot program, Governor Tom Wolf announced today.

“This system will allow PennDOT to see operations and conditions on the ground in real-time, helping them to better analyze how they do their jobs and get the best investment out of every dollar,” Governor Wolf said. “A government that works is also a transparent one and this pilot is a perfect example of maximizing efficiency and modernizing operations.”

The governor joined PennDOT Secretary Leslie S. Richards at the department’s District 8 headquarters in Harrisburg to explain how the Automated Vehicle Location (AVL) system will help improve the department’s realtime information on vehicle movement, plow-route coverage and usage of materials such as salt and anti-skid.

“We expect that this technology will not only help us review truck movement and material usage after a storm, but it should also help us while storms are occurring,” Richards said. “Interstates and expressways are our top priority during winter weather, and this system will help us identify and respond to real-time conditions even better than we do today.”

The AVL system pilot is part of Governor Wolf’s GO-TIME initiative that leverages inter-agency coordination and collaboration to maximize efficiency, modernize state government operations, and provide the highest quality services. The pilot, as one of seven GOTIME projects identified by PennDOT in 2016-2017, is expected to realize a cost savings of $1.4 million over the next four to six years based on a combination of reduced salt usage and better use of department equipment, Richards said.

In total, 516 PennDOT plow trucks and 212 contracted rental trucks servicing interstates and expressways across the state will have AVL installed.

Statewide, PennDOT has 2,200 total department-force trucks and also rents approximately 270 trucks and their operators to maintain the more than 40,000 miles of roadway for which PennDOT is responsible.

PennDOT plans to make the system’s real-time location data available to the public later this year through its traveler information website, www.511PA.com.

Bradford Journal & Miner Thursday, October 29, 2015 Page 17 TURKEY DAY TIPS The sight of a beautifully cooked, golden brown bird being brought to the table is one of the most memorable moments of any Thanksgiving gathering. Follow these tips to prepare the perfect centerpiece for your holiday meal: Thawing Your Turkey For every 5 pounds in weight, thaw in original wrapper for 24 hours in the refrigerator. Thaw faster by covering with cold water in the sink and soaking approximately 30 minutes per pound.

Refrigerate as soon as thawed or cook immediately. For best quality, do not refreeze uncooked turkey.

Roasting the Bird Baste with extra virgin olive oil.

Place breast-side-up on rack in shallow roasting pan. Cook in 325 F oven.

For an unstuffed turkey, place a stalk or two of celery, seasonings, a cut-up onion and a handful of parsley in the cavity to keep it moist.

Lay “tent” of foil loosely over turkey to prevent over-browning.

Turkey is done when meat thermometer is 180 F or when the red stem on the pop-up thermometer rises.

For easier carving, let turkey stand at room temperature for at least 20 minutes.

More Ways to Make the Perfect Centerpiece Grilled: Grill 15-18 minutes per pound.

Air in grill must be between 225-300 F. Deep Fat Fried: Cook 3-5 minutes per pound in 350 F oil.

Smoked: Cook 20-30 minutes per pound. Air in smoker must be between 225-300 F. Microwaved: Cook 9-10 minutes per pound on medium power. Rotate during cooking.

Sleepless in School Federal officials just confirmed what millions of groggy teenagers have long known. School starts too darn early.

That’s the conclusion of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Four in five schools ring the bell before 8:30 a.m.

These early start times don’t just cut into teenagers’ sleep. They hamper academic performance, exacerbate mental health problems, and even restrict social mobility.

That’s a steep price to pay just to get kids out of bed in the morning.

There’s a reason we like to sleep -- it’s good for us. According to a study from the University of Rochester, the human brain naturally produces toxic proteins during the day. The brain can clear these toxins away -- but only during sleep. When a person doesn’t get enough, those toxins can interfere with his or her ability to focus.

-by Alan Shusterman sleep between 8.5 and 9.5 hours per night.

Unfortunately, most students don’t grab that much shuteye. Six in 10 middle school students and nine in 10 high schoolers don’t get the recommended amount of sleep.

Going to bed earlier would seem to solve that problem. But teenagers aren’t just rebellious in insisting on late bedtimes. They’re biologically wired to be night owls. In puberty, students’ natural sleep cycles make them more inclined to fall asleep after 11 p.m.

Combine that with early start times, and students show up to first period with dark circles under their eyes. Their learning suffers as a result.

Consider a study of more than 6,000 freshmen at the Air Force Academy between 2004 and 2008. Researchers compared the academic performance of students assigned class times ranging from 7 a.m. to 8:50 a.m.

They discovered that students beginning their school day at 7 a.m. “perform significantly worse in all their courses taken on that day compared to students who are not assigned to a first period course.”

This negative effect went away with later start times.

Starting the school day later could also help improve student performance in the critical subjects of science, technology, engineering, and math. A 2012 study discovered that starting school an hour later yielded an increase of as much as 3 percentage points in standardized math test scores.

Lack of sleep also piles on to the already significant amounts of stress burdening most students.

Eight in 10 kids report experiencing moderate to extreme stress. Depression and anxiety rates have jumped over the past few years. Teen suicides have tripled since the 1960s.

As sleep deprivation becomes the norm rather than the exception among teenagers, these numbers will only worsen. Studies have shown that sleep deprivation elevates stress, anxiety, and anger. What’s more, lack of sleep increases the risk of major depression and suicide.

Early school starting times also threaten to exacerbate America’s growing socioeconomic gap.

Disadvantaged kids see twice as much of an improvement in academic performance over better-off students from later start times.

The research is clear. Helping students get more sleep is a simple, effective, and scientifically proven way to help reform our education system.

Now, it’s time for schools to act -- and, once and for all, put this issue to bed.

Alan Shusterman is the Founder and Head of School for Tomorrow.

Halloween Safety Tips:

With many communities holding trick-or-treat nights, PennDOT is urging motorists to slow down and watch carefully for little princesses, witches and pirates.

Children are unpredictable – and even more so when they’re excited -- which means motorists need to slow down and expect the unexpected. We’re also asking parents to help by reviewing safety tips with their children and helping them to choose safe costumes.

Motorists should be extremely cautious on neighborhood streets as children may dart out between parked vehicles or walk on the side of the road.

In addition to motorists, parents and guardians can help increase safety and visibility of children by following a few simple tips: •Buy or make brightly-colored, highly-visible costumes that do not interfere with a child’s ability to see, hear or walk; •Consider adding strips of reflective tape to darker-colored costumes or trick-or-treat bags; •Encourage children to carry a flashlight or glow stick; •Accompany young children while they are trick-or-treating;

FAMILY FEATURES

ith flu season approaching, parents may be bracing for an outbreak at their children’s schools, but adults are also highly susceptible at work and in other public places. Now is the time for families and businesses to take steps to prevent and protect against the flu.

With workers missing as much as a week after falling ill with the flu, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services attributes as much as $7 billion in losses for U.S. businesses each year as a result of workers’ sick days and lost productivity. Combine that with lost wages, missed school and sporting events, and the overall hit to your personal health, and the toll is higher yet.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates between 3,000 and 49,000 deaths and more than 200,000 hospitalizations each year depending upon the severity of the flu season. People at high risk for developing flu-related complications include children under 5, adults 65 or older, pregnant women, residents of nursing homes and other long-term care centers, and people who have medical conditions such as asthma, chronic lung disease, heart disease and blood disorders.

“Influenza is a serious viral infection, and the toll on public health each year related to influenza is significant,” said Dr. John Hanlin, vice president of public health and food safety at Ecolab.

“Fortunately, there are a number of important measures that you, your family and your business colleagues can take to reduce the risk of influenza.”

Getting a flu vaccine and taking anti-viral medications as prescribed if you do contract the flu are two ways the CDC advocates stopping the spread of flu germs. Another vital factor in protecting yourself from the flu is preventing its spread.

The flu is a respiratory infection accompanied by fever and often respiratory complications that is transmitted from person to person, either through personal contact, or through contact with a contaminated surface. Individuals who have contracted the virus are contagious at least one day prior to displaying symptoms, and up to seven days after they first appear.

In addition, the flu virus can survive up to 48 hours on stainless steel and plastic surfaces, and up to 12 hours on cloth, paper and tissues. Properly cleaning and disinfecting can minimize the chances of individuals contracting the virus from a contaminated surface.

Prevent contamination To properly clean, disinfect and protect your environment, know that you should: Clean any visible soil from surfaces before disinfecting. When cleaning and disinfecting, work from top to bottom and from cleaner to more heavily soiled surfaces.

Thoroughly wet the surface with a U.S. EPA registered disinfectant and follow label instructions. Choose disinfectants effective against the flu virus, such as Ecolab’s line of disinfectant

products, which are available for institutional and industrial use.

Disinfect frequently touched hard surfaces often, including tables, chairs, light switches, door handles and restroom facilities.

Give special attention to frequently touched surfaces in food preparation areas, as well as the restroom, including light and air control switches, faucets, toilet flush levers, door knobs and handrails.

Avoid touching public items that sustain heavy use, such as elevator buttons and push plates on doors, with your hands.

Proper hand hygiene Hand-washing is also essential to preventing an influenza contamination. Proper hand-washing helps remove most bacteria, viruses and other pathogens, so they can’t be spread to others. The CDC recommends these steps: Wet hands with clean, running water (warm or cold), turn off the tap and apply soap.

Rub hands together to lather the soap. Clean the backs of hands, between fingers and under nails.

Scrub for at least 20 seconds.

Rinse well under clean, running water.

Dry with a clean towel or air dry.

Before using hand sanitizer, remove any dirt from hands with soap and water. Apply product to palm and rub hands together until it disappears (15-20 seconds).

Education is the first step in promoting effective hand hygiene. But the real challenge is motivating others to wash frequently and follow protocols day in and day out.

Use soaps that are gentle on hands. Formulations that irritate skin may dissuade even the most dedicated hand-washer.

Be a role model and wash your hands following the same high standard you set for your family and coworkers.

Continuously reinforce that protection starts with prevention, and hand-washing is critical to prevention.

Extra care in the kitchen Because flu and cold viruses can spread easily to foods and beverages, it’s especially important to promote hand-washing in the kitchen. The Food and Drug Administration suggests: Plan food preparation activities to reduce the number of times hands need to be washed.

Use soap and water, which is more effective in removing foodborne pathogens than hand sanitizers.

6 Ways to Minimize Exposure to the Flu 1. Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

2. Stay home when you are sick.

3. Cover your mouth and nose when sneezing or coughing.

4. Wash hands frequently with soap and water or use an alcohol-based, waterless hand sanitizer frequently.

5. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.

6. Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces.
