15 Mother’s Day

Breakfast in bed for special occasions Few gestures of affection create such a stir as presenting a loved one with breakfast in bed. On special occasions, treating a loved one to breakfast in bed can get their big day off on the right foot. The success of such an endeavor often boils down to following a few tips.

* Banging and clanking in the kitchen does not a relaxing morning make, so select an easily prepared dish to cut back on the noise. Store- or restaurant-bought foods can still make a nice impression if they are dressed up. * Adult supervision is a must when young kids are cooking. This ensures everything goes safely and smoothly while still giving kids the chance to pitch in. * Delegate some tasks to kids. A young child may be able to arrange flowers in a vase, while a slightly older child may be more adept at slicing toast or helping to flip pancakes. The breakfast should be a joint effort so that the person treated

* Choose easy-to-eat foods. Crumbly and messy foods are not the ideal fit for breakfast in bed. No one wants to spill food onto pillows or go to bed the next evening to find a pile of crumbs beneath the sheets. Finger foods or bite-sized items that can be popped into the mouth will not make much of a mess. Crepes may be a nice alternative to messier muffins. Serve coffee or tea in a cup with a lid to help prevent spills. * Invest in a food tray to make serving breakfast in bed that much easier. A bedside table or nightstand also can fit the bill. * Add small details to make the breakfast even more special. Use heart- or flower-shaped cookie cutters to add whimsy to everything from pancakes to fruit. A hand-written card or poem is another nice touch.

think it’s a really good alternative.” The non-invasive aspect of Cologuard may help to coax people who have been afraid or unwilling to get colonoscopies in the past. Screening for colon cancer is extremely important, Thomé said, because oftentimes the disease is referred to as a “silent killer.” Symptoms are often not present until advanced stages of the disease. “Anybody who goes to the bathroom can do the test,” he said. “You have no excuses anymore.” There is a lifetime risk of colon cancer in 4.7 percent of men and 4.4 percent of women in the United States. Currently, there are about 1 million colon cancer survivors living in the United States. The average age of patients who receive a colon cancer diagnosis is between 60 and 65 years of age. About 50,000 people died of colon cancer in 2016, many of whom were likely not routinely screened and weren’t diagnosed early enough for treatment to be effective. Although symptoms for colon cancer many times are not present, Thomé said some symptoms may include iron deficiency, anemia, lower quadrant pain, a change in bowel-movement habits and, in advanced stages, weight loss. If a patient does not have a family history of colon cancer, nor inflammatory bowel disease, nor other rare hereditary conditions, routine screenings for colon cancer should begin at age 50, Thomé said. If you do have a family history of the disease, screenings should begin 10 years prior to that family member’s age of diagnosis. Although the causes of colon cancer are largely unknown (besides genetic predispositions), research does indicate links between obesity and the disease, Thomé said. “Obesity is a risk for many cancers,” he said. But for everyone – not just those who are overweight – screening is key, he said. “There is a 90 percent survival rate for early stage (diagnoses),” Thomé said.

The visitor turns out to be an incredibly inept, hopelessly stupid “nerd” who outstays his welcome with a vengeance. “This one has a timeless quality,” Hustoles said. ‘Footloose,’ music by Tom Snow; lyrics by Dean Pitchford; stage adaptation by Dean Pitchford and Walter Bobbie; based on the original screenplay by Dean Pitchford; additional music by Eric Carmen, Sammy Hagar, Kenny Loggins and Jim Steinman (produced at MSU in 2002)

Here’s a look at what the Golden Anniversary of Highland Summer Theatre has to offer: ‘Vanya and Sonya and Masha and Spike,’ by Christopher Durang (a premiere) Performs May 25-28 in the Andreas Theatre, Earley Center for Performing Arts, MSU About the play: Winner of the 2013 Tony Award for Best Play, middle-aged siblings Vanya and Sonia share a home in Bucks County, Penn., where they bicker and complain about the circumstances of their lives. Suddenly, their movie-star sister, Masha, swoops in with her new boy toy, Spike. Old resentments flare up, eventually leading to threats to sell the house. Also on the scene are sassy maid Cassandra, who can predict the future, and a lovely young aspiring actress named Nina, whose prettiness somewhat worries the imperious Masha. “This play speaks to this century,” Hustoles said. “It’s very current.” ‘Seussical,’ book by Lynn Ahrens and

Performs July 7-9 and 13-16 in the Ted Paul Theatre About the musical: When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town, Ren is prepared for the inevitable adjustment period at his new high school. What he isn’t prepared for are the rigorous local edicts, including a ban on dancing instituted by the local preacher, determined to exercise the control over the town’s youth that he cannot command in his own home. When the reverend’s rebellious daughter sets her sights on Ren, her roughneck boyfriend tries to sabotage Ren’s

reputation, with many of the locals eager to believe the worst about the new kid. The heartfelt story that emerges is of a father longing for the son he lost and of a young man aching for the father who walked out on him. “Footloose takes place in a very specific time and place, and yet, it still resonates right now,” Hustoles said. “Just think about the world as it exists now and the people who don’t want to be on the cutting edge of social norms and those who want to bring society kicking and dragging into a new world. ‘Footloose’ demonstrates that beautifully.”

struggle with stairs as they age, and that can make it difficult for them to fully participate in a household. Homeowners with an extra room to spare can convert a room on the first floor of their homes into a bedroom so seniors won’t have to climb up and down stairs throughout the day. That ease of accessibility to the primary floor of the house encourages seniors to be active participants in a household. If possible, choose an area that is close to a first-floor bathroom. • Take steps to make bathrooms safer. The National Institute on Aging says that more than one in three seniors over age 65 fall each year, and 80 percent of those falls take place in the bathroom. Slippery tile floors can make it difficult for seniors to navigate bathrooms safely, and bathtubs and shower stalls present additional challenges. Install grab bars on bathroom walls and next to toilets to provide support. In addition,

consider installing a shower chair or bench and removable shower nozzle in the shower or tub so seniors can sit down while they bathe and rinse without having to stand up on slippery surfaces. Make sure any mats around bathtubs and sinks are nonskid to reduce the risk of falls even further. • Install an extra phone line or two. While kids and adults between the ages of 18 and 50 may never use the landlines in their homes, many seniors still rely on traditional telephones as their primary means of communicating with the outside world. Install extra landlines in your home, including in seniors’ bedrooms, so they can more readily access the phone should they fall and need to call for emergency help. Phones in seniors’ bedrooms may also provide some additional privacy

Upon reaching retirement age, new retirees may face decisions regarding their living arrangements. Some seniors may opt to stay put, while others may want to downsize their homes to save money and relieve themselves of the burdens of maintaining larger homes. But those are not the only situations seniors find themselves in. Some seniors realize they can no longer care for themselves without assistance. In such instances, seniors may opt for assisted living facilities or choose to move in with a relative, such as a grown son or daughter. While assisted living facilities are designed to meet the needs of the elderly, young men and women welcoming seniors into their homes may need to take on some home improvement projects to ensure their homes are as safe as possible for elderly residents. • Convert a room on the first floor into a bedroom. While this may not apply to all seniors, some men and women
