From Me To You...

I began this summer fully intending to make a sizeable dent in my rapidly growing pile of books ‘to be read’. The guilt of amassing books one after another all was crushing me. Well, perhaps that is an exaggeration, but I did get a pang of remorse every time a new book was added to the bookshelf without detracting one from the other end.

What stopped me? I had a whole summer of very little responsibility, sparse travel and comfy chairs with perfect lighting. I am embarrassed to say it was television. After years of resisting adding new channels to our streaming line-up - let’s face it those things can hit your pocket pretty hard if you don’t keep an eye on them - a whole bunch were added to my existing stations without any help from me. I now have access to a library of new-to-me, pre-approved, award winning series, and who looks that horse in the mouth?

The first show we binged (not intentionally, but it was so good we couldn’t help ourselves) was Ozark. A gritty, somewhat violent and acerbically funny look at a world where Jason Bateman,

through no fault of his own, becomes a money launderer for a drug cartel. And he was good at it! I found myself rooting for the character to get better at being bad.

Following the dip into organized crime I fell into watching Ted Lasso. I know I am very late to this particular game but I loved it. I finished the show, tears streaming down my face, and immediately wanted to watch it again. There are so many wonderful lessons to be learned here and I wish everyone had a Ted in their lives. I feel this world would be a much happier place for it.

Swinging the pendulum in the opposite direction, I have now almost finished Homeland.

Wow, the backstabbing, conniving spycraft - and that is just from the good guys! I wish I could tell you more but Carrie is trying to save the world again and, even though my books are calling me, I want to watch one more episode!

Rx & Opioid Update

The impact of physical pain on the lives of millions of Americans cannot be underestimated.

Opioids, once prescribed to alleviate suffering, have now exposed us to an alarming “opioid crisis” due to their highly addictive nature.

Mitigating youth access to prescription medications is imperative, as studies reveal that 60% of teenagers who misuse prescription drugs acquire them from friends or family. To safeguard your loved ones, here are verified facts and proactive steps you can take: Key Facts: • Tragically, the United States has witnessed over 1 million opioid-related overdose deaths.

• Fentanyl, a substance 50 times more potent than heroin, has become pervasive in nearly all street drugs and counterfeit pills, posing a grave risk to users.

• A concerning 80% of individuals who use heroin initially started with prescription medications.

• Prolonged use of prescription painkillers, even at low doses, over two to three months

can lead to addiction.

• Painkiller addiction often originates from the improper use or sharing of legitimately prescribed medications after medical procedures or injuries.

Protective Measures: • Monitor Medications – Assess your awareness regarding the number of medications within your household. Can you confidently detect any missing pills? Ensure you can affirmatively answer this question moving forward.

Frequent refills might indicate an issue. If your teenager is prescribed medication, maintain control over it and closely supervise dosages and refills. Be especially cautious with substances prone to abuse among teens, such as opioids, benzodiazepines, and stimulants.

• Secure All Medications – Implement locking mechanisms. If you have children or grandchildren, treat prescription medications with the same vigilance as you would potentially harmful household items when they were toddlers. Lock them up. Remove prescription medicines from accessible areas like the medicine cabinet and store them in a discreet location known only to you. If feasible, consider securing both prescription and over-the-counter medicines in a locked cabinet, rendering them inaccessible to your teenager. Extend this recommendation to other households that might have teenagers with access to medications and encourage them to adopt secure storage practices.

• Proper Disposal of expired or unused medicines plays a crucial role in safeguarding your teens and household and minimizing the likelihood of medication misuse.

Ask Dr Jen

“There’s so much going on in the world these days that my anxiety is nearly constant. What can I do to find peace?” ~ Lorri M Being at peace is a personal decision. It’s not necessarily a logical one with everything going on in the world sometimes, but it’s a decision, nonetheless.

To better understand this, let’s look at addiction.

With addiction, you can work through the issues that drive it and establish adaptive coping skills.

In the end, though, you have to decide to quit.

I can give you all the tools and resources in the world, but you’ll stay addicted if you don’t decide at every temptation to say no.

So, if you think about living outside of peace rather than in it, you could see it as your brain being addicted to thinking a certain way. Here are some ideas on how to change this: 1. Try to figure out where you learned to think so negatively. Talking to a therapist who has a psychodynamic approach can help you understand how your life experiences and genetics contribute to your thinking processes.

Understanding where your thoughts come from can be a relief in and of itself.

2. Find ways to combat “stinkin’ thinkin’.” You can learn cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)

concepts to change your self-talk. When you start thinking negatively, you have to make a conscious effort to replace those thoughts with more positive ones: • Try thinking the exact opposite of what you’re thinking. If you’re thinking that you can’t be at peace because you’re not good enough in some way, tell yourself that you are good enough, that you’re no different than everyone else you think IS good enough. If you need more convincing, make a list of nice things you’ve done.

• Focus on gratitude. Remind yourself of all the things for which you are grateful. Write them out and look back at them when you need reminding.

• Practice “thought stopping.” Whenever a negative thought comes in, picture a stop sign to interrupt that process. You can also say “stop” in your head or aloud. Or, you can wear a rubber band or hair tie on your wrist and flick it gently when a negative thought comes into your head.

The Bug Guy As the temperatures start to cool down in September, many residents of the West Valley begin to spend more time outdoors, enjoying the beautiful weather. However, it is important to remember that pests are still active during this time of year and can pose several problems for homeowners. It is crucial to be proactive and engage in effective pest control practices to ensure a pest-free environment.

One common pest in the West Valley during September is ants. As temperatures become more moderate, ants become more active in search of food and water sources. These tiny insects are often found in kitchens and pantries, drawn to crumbs and spillages. To prevent ant infestations, it is crucial to keep countertops clean, store food in airtight containers, and promptly clean up any spills or crumbs. Sealing cracks and crevices where ants can enter the home will also help to keep them at bay.

September is also a prime time for scorpion activity in the West Valley. These nocturnal creatures seek shelter in homes and yards,

posing a potential threat to humans and pets.

To keep scorpions away, homeowners should remove any clutter in their yard, seal entry points, and keep vegetation well-trimmed. Inspecting and shaking out shoes and clothing before wearing them is also advisable, as scorpions often seek refuge in these items.

Lastly, September can bring an increase in rat and mice activity in the West Valley. These pests search for warmth and shelter as the temperatures begin to cool down. Homeowners should inspect their homes for any gaps or openings larger than a dime, ensuring that rodents cannot find their way inside. Using traps or engaging the services of a professional pest control company can help eliminate and prevent rodent infestations.

In conclusion, while September may be a month of pleasant weather in the West Valley, it is crucial to remain proactive in pest control efforts.

By taking simple measures, such as eliminating mosquito breeding sites, preventing ant infestations, deterring scorpions, and securing homes against rodents, residents can enjoy a pest-free environment and fully embrace the beauty of the autumn season.

Immunizations The World Health Organization proclaims immunization to be a key component of primary health care and that it reduces the risks of getting a disease by working with our body’s natural defenses to build protection. When we think of immunizations, we often think of flu shots and the COVID-19 vaccine. However, immunization can come in many forms and is recommended for all ages–from infancy to adulthood. Some recommended vaccines include but are not limited to Chickenpox, Hepatitis A & B, Mumps and Tetanus.

While self-protection is a big part of why many receive recommended vaccinations, individuals should also think about the benefits to the community, which include: • Protection of future generations. Harmful diseases such as smallpox have been eradicated worldwide thanks to the success of immunization.

Children today are no longer at risk of obtaining the condition; therefore a smallpox shot is no longer needed. If adults continue vaccinating now, diseases may no longer be around to affect future generations.

• Prevention against harmful diseases that can have life-threatening outcomes or result in prolonged disabilities.

Addressing health concerns already present may be more time-consuming, costly, and dangerous than taking preventative measures against them in the first place through vaccination.

• Long-term health investments in communities.

With immunizations protecting individuals against harmful diseases, communities can become stronger and healthier.

Some individuals or families cannot pay for a doctor’s visit or do not have the luxury of healthcare at their fingertips. Jewish Family & Children’s Service (JFCS) is committed to improving healthcare within communities through our provision of primary care, behavioral health, and social services to all ages, faiths, and backgrounds–regardless of an individual’s ability to pay.

Money Matters Many people benefit from working with a financial advisor, someone who knows their needs and goals and makes appropriate recommendations. If you’re considering getting some help, you’ll want to ensure a particular financial advisor is right for you, so it’s a good idea to ask questions.

Here are some to consider: • Have you worked with people like me? All of us are unique individuals. Yet, you do share certain characteristics with others and you might feel comfortable knowing that a financial advisor has worked with people like you and can readily understand and appreciate your needs and specific goals: college for your children, a certain type of retirement lifestyle, the kind of legacy you’d like to leave and others. The more information you can provide about yourself upfront, the better your chances of finding a good match.

• Do you have a particular investment philosophy? Some financial advisors follow a particular investment style, while others might focus on specific investments or categories.

• How will you communicate with me? Open and frequent communication are key to a successful relationship with a financial advisor.

So, you’ll want to know what you can expect.

Will you have annual or semi-annual reviews of your accounts? In between these reviews, can you contact your advisor at any time with questions you may have? Is the financial advisor the individual you’ll communicate with, or are other people involved?

• How do you define success for your clients?

You may want to look for responses that go beyond numbers and encompass statements such as these: “I’m successful if my clients trust me to do the right things for them. And, most important, I’m successful when I know I’ve helped my clients reach all their goals.”

• How are you compensated? Financial advisors are compensated in different ways — some work on commissions, some charge fees, and some combine fees and commissions.

When you’re trusting someone to help you with your important financial goals, you want to be completely comfortable with that individual — so ask whatever is on your mind.
