Cold weather health tips for seniors Cold 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 ice More 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. Stretching 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 someone to do it for you.

• Use assistive devices when necessary. Hold handrails 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 warm As people age, their sense of touch declines. Arthritis, 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 hypothermia (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 Energy’s Weatherization Assistance Program (http://www. eere.energy.gov/weatherization) to see if you’re eligible 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 Association of America (MOWAA) deliver nutritious meals (http://www.mowaa.org).

• Be alert for symptoms of hypothermia and frostbite. Hypothermia symptoms include slurred speech, sluggishness, confusion, dizziness, shallow breathing, unusual behavior and slow, irregular heartbeat. Frostbite symptoms include gray, white or yellow skin discoloration, 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.

Elegance Within Reach.

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 skin

As we age our skin becomes thinner and drier and thus more susceptible to tears. In addition, certain medications can thin already fragile nasal tissue, creating 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 lining of the nose.

Keep your spirits high

Perhaps 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 emergency

Winter storms can mean power outages and resultant 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.”

Food court With 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 Breakfast 4 to 5 tart cooking apples, peeled, sliced 3/4 cup chopped pecans 1/2 cup golden raisins 6 tablespoon packed brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) margarine 6 eggs 1 1/2 cups orange juice 1 cup flour 3/4 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons sugar Extra cinnamon Maple 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 Bake 1 pound hot sausage, cooked and crumbled 2 tablespoons dried onion flakes 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 1 cup biscuit mix 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 5 eggs 2 cups milk Place cooked and crumbled sausage in a Pamsprayed 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with onion flakes and cheese. In mixing bowl, combine biscuit mix, salt, pepper and eggs. Beat well with fork (not mixer). Add milk, stir until fairly smooth and pour over sausage mixture.

PRINCETON — The Bureau County Genealogical Society is reminding the public that it is a FamilySearch affiliate library.

The designation means library patrons will have greater and more convenient access to the wealth of genealogical resources available through FamilySearch.

FamilySearch is the world’s largest repository of free genealogical records and manages 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 significance from more than 130 countries.

FamilySearch is extending access to its collections by circulating microfilms of the historic records through select public libraries. The Bureau County Genealogical 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 portion (less than 5 percent) of the world’s genealogical 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 FamilySearch to cover rental and mailing when ordering a microfilm. Patrons can search the Family History Library Catalog online at http://www.

FamilySearch.org to see what records are available.

Orders must be placed from home using a credit card. Once the film arrives at BCGS, patrons will use the microfilm readers there to view it.

Assistance will be available from the library’s staff.

For more information, call the Bureau County Genealogical Society at 815-879-3133 or 815303-7386, or email questions to bureaucounty@ gmail.com.

We invite you to be a part of the 2014 Bureau County Tourism Visitors’ Guide The Bureau County Tourism Committee is proud and excited to announce we will again be working with the Bureau County Republican to publish the Official 2014 Bureau County Visitors’ Guide .

The Visitors’ Guide is a fundraiser for Bureau County Tourism.

The funds raised are used to promote all of Bureau County via trade shows and advertising.

Contact us with the details of your community events planned for the coming year to be included in this year’s guide.

Your advertising support will not only help support this project but will get your message to thousands of individuals throughout the state of Illinois.
