Student Athletes & Misuse of Prescription Drugs Understanding Non-medical /Misuse of Prescription Medications and Addiction

What is Addiction?

Addiction is a disease characterized by compulsive drug seeking behavior regardless of the consequences. As the illness progresses, an addicted person needs more of the drug, the illness becomes harder to treat, and the risk of overdose increases.

Misusing medication can lead to serious consequences including rapid addiction, other substance use, criminal activity, and even death.

People who misuse pain killers might not understand how these factors interact and put them at risk for serious negative consequences. Additionally, mixing prescription opioids with alcohol or other drugs is the leading cause of overdose death in Delaware County.

Prescription Medications The class of prescription drugs most commonly prescribed for pain is opioids, such as Vicodin, Percocet, Codeine, Demerol or Oxycontin. Under a doctor's orders, these medications can be very helpful. But if used improperly, they can be dangerous.

Most individuals who misuse prescription medications, particularly teens, believe these substances are safer than illegal drugs because they are prescribed by a doctor.

Doctors take into account things like the patient's age, weight, and medical history; the drug's form, dose, and possible side effects; and the potential for addiction, when prescribing medications.

70% of people 12 and older who abuse prescription drugs get them from family and friends, and 60% of teens who have abused prescription pain killers have done so before the age of 15.

It is important for parents/guardians to be aware of what substances your student athlete may be exposed to or using during the season. What are the signs and symptoms you should look for?

Signs of use

• Anxiety/Irritability • Insomnia • Long periods of sleep • Loss of appetite or Nausea • Watery eyes • Chills • Depression • Disorientation • Pinpoint pupils

• Forgetfulness • Increased sensitivity • Change in appearance • Receiving lower grades • Increased absence

Take Action! What can you do if your athlete is prescribed medication?

1. Know - Know what medications your athlete is using and the signs of use, dependency, and overdose.

2. Monitor - The adult in the household should maintain possession of the medication and closely monitor the dosage and refills. Although most youth are capable of self-administering over-the-counter pain killers, prescription opiates should be closely supervised by an adult. Set clear rules with your medications! Never share, take more than prescribed, or mix with other drugs.

3. Talk - Discuss the dangers of prescription medications with your athlete. Emphasize that just because they are prescribed by a doctor, it does not make them safe!

4. Lock Your Meds - Keep all prescription medications locked up to keep your family and friends safe! When the prescription is no longer needed, dispose of the unused medication at any of the Montgomery County Drop Box locations. (visit www.montcopa.org/index.aspx?NID=1766 for locations.)

Signs of overdose*

• May not awaken when aroused • Cold, clammy skin • Blue lips, face, hands • Struggle for breath Signs of dependency • Elevated body • Change in personality temperature • Social withdrawal • Vomiting • Change in daily habits • Behaving • Neglect responsibilities irrationally/confused

*If you see any of these signs, consider this an emergency situation and call 911 immediately!

Come and enjoy the 35 acres of imaginative garden spaces on the former estate of the Rosengarten family. Chanticleer is a pleasure garden with both an historical and contemporary approach. The garden combines color and a variety of plantings surrounded by stately trees with the goal of continuous bloom throughout our open season. In addition, Chanticleer is a garden of learning. We will be offering early evening classes in partnership with the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society on topics that will include growing vegetables in containers, bulb display, and small flowering trees for the home garden. Other programs to be offered later in the season include an Ecology series, a garden design workshop, and in the fall a photography master class workshop. Our website www.chanticleergarden.org provides further details. We encourage you to purchase a season pass for unlimited admission now available on our website. Once again this year, for individuals, we will be offering our 45-minute tours by reservation of the Chanticleer House at 11am. On Friday nights starting in May through Labor Day, the garden is open until 8pm. The first Saturday of each month, Chanticleer opens at 8am - a great time to catch the early light of the day. We look forward to sharing the garden with one and all no matter what age you are!

PA Beer Distributors Can Now Sell Singles & Six-packs!

'Free the six-pack' law goes live in Pa. As of January 17, 2017, beer distributors are no longer handcuffed to the case as the "free the six-pack" laws went live in Pennsylvania.

Single and six-pack sales had already popped up in grocery stores around the commonwealth but the distributors had to stick to wholesale, which has been a detriment to their bottom line.

Gov. Tom Wolf signed legislation back in November that allows beer distributors to sell six-packs and refillable growlers.

Additionally, liquor sales will be permitted at 9 a.m. on Sundays, rather than 11 a.m.

"Creating and following this precedent will make the commonwealth more inviting for customers and businesses," Wolf said in November. "It will address a long-standing failing of our liquor and alcohol system while we continue to work on customer satisfaction for all Pennsylvanians."

Wolf has stopped short of full privatization of liquor stores, but has shown a desire to open up sales to private business.

Former Gov. Tom Corbett was enthusiastic about pushing forward liquor privatization.

Some of the plans included easing of restrictions on the sale of six packs of beer, while the more aggressive measures called for replacing state-owned stores with twice as many private outlets.

Corbett referred Pennsylvania's liquor laws to as a 75-year-old "antiqued system" and his plan was to ease the state into offering the

sale of retail and wholesale licenses, estimated to bring in $1 billion a year.

"How were we supposed to compete with their corporate deals?"

"Why don't we have choice? Why don't we have convenience like the other 48 states in the union?" Republican Corbett asked in 2013.

Weaver said that grocery stores are able to upcharge up to a 40 percent margin, something the smaller distributors cannot afford to do. He called the law allowing distributors to sell six-packs "payback."

His Democratic successor, Wolf, vetoed legislation for liquor privatization in 2015 because he said it was "bad for consumers."

"We want a fair playing field," Weaver said.

"It'll help us stay in business, but there was a lot of key revenue lost."

"It makes bad business sense for the commonwealth and consumers to sell off an asset, especially before maximizing its value," Wolf said.

Nearby at Beer Guys in the Manoa Shopping Center in Havertown, owner Raj Mody said it will be a "welcomed change" to sell individual beers.

However, Wolf said that he was open to making wine and beer available in more locations like supermarkets.

"People are going to be able to come in and mix and match," Mody said. "They can try before they buy a case."

In June 2016, Wolf made good on his word, and for the first time since before prohibition Pennsylvanians were able to buy wine and beer at grocery stores, the first step in loosening the state's hold on alcohol sales.

For distributors, freeing the six-pack means a win for the little guy.

However, for beer distributor owners who after years of paying licenses that limited their sales felt as though the sudden inclusion of grocery stores to sell beer in more reasonable quantities was damaging to their business.

"We should have been allowed to do it first," said Gene Weaver, manager of Manoa Beverage on West Chester Pike in Havertown.

A shopper at Giant Food Stores in Havertown pores over the selection of six-pack beers. As of January 17, 2017, any beer distributor in Pennsylvania may sell beer individually or divide cases into six-packs.

Crowlers, Growlers, & Six-Packs - Oh My! A CROWLER® (CAN + growler) is a 32-ounce CAN filled with fresh craft beer from the source. Yep, draft beer in a portable growlersized CAN. It's the newest innovation coming from the Oskar Blues Brewery taproom and their development partner Ball Corporation, the pioneers of the American craft beer in-aCAN movement.

"We get off on pushing the limits, doing things differently and the CROWLER® is another step of innovation to take advantage of what the can package has to offer from behind the bar. More beer options in more cans, we're working on creating one big glasshole" Says Jeremy Rudolf, the man behind the CROWLER® integration at Oskar Blues.

immediately filled. Then the lid is applied and the CROWLER® is placed onto the seamer pedestal. The pedestal is turned so that the can is raised up and locked under pressure into the seamer. Turn it on, and push GO. Turn it off, twist the pedestal to lower the can, and take it with you to enjoy.

Once you open the CROWLER®, drink it up ensuring the craft beer is consumed in a single serving while the beer is in its prime, just like in the taproom.

Why CROWL? Oskar Blues and Ball have worked together to figure out fun ways to keep craft beer fresh for years. Oskar Blues uses stainless steel growlers in the tasting

rooms, but the brewery is always looking for other options that are glassless. The OB crew got together with the innovation folks at Ball and they presented their 720 can as a possible idea for tasting rooms to use as a "to go" option. It allows OB beer lovers to get a reasonable volume of any beer on draft to go in a protected & portable new package.

32 ounces is great for a barrel-aged or specialty beer from a price standpoint, plus it's a volume that can be consumed in a single sitting with a friend (or six). As always, CANs, even big ones, are more portable and less breakable than glass, making the CROWLER® a natural partner for your next beer soaked outdoor experience.

Craft beer drinkers dig their growlers filled in local taprooms, but standard glass growlers are often brought into pubs and tap rooms without being cleaned correctly, which affects the taste and cleanliness of there fill.

They also don't seal well and allow light in, while the Crowler® is more portable and takes advantage of what the can has to offer by eliminating light-struck or skunky beer.

The CROWLER® is a one-use, recyclable 32oz can that is filled and seamed right at the bar in the Tasty Weasel Tap Room in ColoRADo, using an All-American Can Company seamer. This is a tabletop design commonly used for canning homemade food into steel cans and allows you to take home one-off and specialty beers. The filler was modified to work with aluminum and the height adjusted to accommodate the CROWLER® height. Just like its smaller 12oz.counterpart, the CROWLER® is made from aluminum that has 68% recycled content and also is infinitely recyclable.

Here's how a CROWLER® works: Oskar Blues added a CO2 purge station to purge the cans before filling them, which helps assure that there is no beer-degrading oxygen added to the beer. The CROWLER® is purged and Please Support Our Advertisers · To Advertise Call 610-265-6277

Rose Mallow (Hibiscus moscheutos)

Hubricht's Bluestar (Amsonia hubrichtii)

Obedient Plant (Physostegia virginiana) The obedient plant or false dragonhead is a very fun plant that has some very unique qualities. F irst of all, the obedient plant's common name comes from the flowers' unique pliable nature. The flower heads can be pushed along the axis of the stem and will remain wherever they are moved. This makes the plant very useful for cut flowers or flower arrangements. This plant is a rhizomatous perennial that is a member of the mint family, Lamiaceae. A common characteristic of this family is a square stem. The flowers a pale lilac with a tubular shape and snapdragon appearance that grow on terminal spikes. The flower spikes bloom from the bottom to top from late June to September. P. virginiana has sharply toothed, lanceolate leaves arranged in an opposite manner. The square stems can reach up to 4 feet but may fall over if the soils are too rich or it is not receiving enough sun.

Beware this plant can spread rather aggressively either by seed or rhizomatously with stolons. To prevent this a gardener can pull up the undesired shallow roots to keep the plant tamed.

Obedient plant lives in a wide variety of habitats from open meadows to stream banks.

It is native to much of North America from Quebec to Florida and even west to New Mexico. This plant is great because it can tolerate moist soils with poor drainage or soils on the drier end of the spectrum. The nectar of this plant is desirable to many species of butterflies and even attracts hummingbirds.

Overall this is an excellent plant and can really give a show in the late summer, early fall especially if used in a rain garden.

The common rose mallow or swamp mallow is an upright shrub-like herbaceous perennial that is commonly found in moist areas such as marshes or lake shores. H. moscheutos is a member of the Mallow family, Malvaceae.

This plant is unique because you can bring those showy tropical looking hibiscus flowers to the garden. The flowers are typically a large, beautiful, funnel shape with five separate petals. Interestingly the stamens and stigma are fused into one structure called a column. Petals are normally white, pink or red with or some variation in between. H. moscheutos flowers are normally darker towards the middle and can become quite large and showy reaching anywhere from 8 to 10 inches. Though an individual flower may only last a short period of time, the plant itself continues to bloom through late summer into fall. The rose mallow can bring quite the accent to any garden and it is recommended to plant a group of 3 or more for a visually appealing effect.

This plant is native to the eastern and southern parts of North America and can be grown in hardiness zones 5-10. The rose mallow can grow rather tall, reaching anywhere from 5 to 7 feet in a single growing season. Since it is capable of growing so much it may need to be staked for support. The optimal growth conditions for H. moscheutos are full sun and moist soils rich in organic matter but, it can tolerate lower quality soils even those containing salt. It will grow very well in these conditions as long as the soil is not allowed to dry out. If this plant is being grown in colder regions, one should consider mulch during the winter to protect the roots from frost. Also it is recommended to prune in the early spring for a bushier growth form.

Japanese beetles have been known to cause damage to the foliage of this plant if left unmanaged.

This beautiful clump forming, herbaceous perennial has many noteworthy characteristics making it an excellent choice as a green ribbon native plant. It is a member of the Dogbane plant family or Apocynaceae.

One trait expressed by members of this family is a milky/latex sap. Due to this, A. hubrichtii is not preferred by deer. It is known for its elegant powdery blue star shaped flowers which grow in clusters at the ends of the stems. These delicate flowers make an appearance in late spring around April and last until the end of May sometimes even longer.

The foliage is another notable characteristic.

These thin, filamentous leaves grow along the stem in an alternate fashion. They are a beautiful green during the growing season and turn to a stunning yellow during the fall.

This foliage can bring nice texture and color to any garden.

Native to south-central United States Amsonia hubrichtii can grow to about 3 feet tall and spreads 2-3 feet at maturity. This plant is ideal for many different garden situations and is very low maintenance. It performs best in well drained, rich soil but can tolerate a wide range of conditions. A. hubrichtii produces the best fall color in full sun however blooms may persist longer if given some afternoon shade. It is also notable that Amsonia is the preferred nectar source for Mourning Cloaks and other early butterflies. Sometimes the plant may grow too tall and flop over. In order to prevent this, it is recommended that you cut back the stems about a 1/3 after its done blooming.

Jenkins Arboretum - Preserving Plant Genetics Preserving Plant Genetics A Collaborative Effort As the Arboretum's plant collections continue to mature and space becomes more limited, it is important that we now narrow our focus. For rhododendrons and evergreen azaleas, an effort is made to collect only the very best hybrids or collections from particular hybridizers.

Specifically, these include the large leafed rhododendrons created by John Doppel and the evergreen azaleas created by Joe Klimavicz. When it comes to native, deciduous azaleas though, it isn't quite as straightforward.

One of the greatest benefits of participating in American Public Gardens Association's Plant Collections Network (PCN) is that it encourages you to think strategically about your curatorial practices, and collaborate with other like-minded organizations to ensure that plant genetics are being preserved. As we begin to focus on genetics, the provenance, or location from which the seed used to grow the plants was collected, becomes very important. Understanding this, we have had two exciting opportunities to add large numbers of known-provenance deciduous native azaleas to our collection.

The first was through a very generous gift of nearly 100 known-provenance native azaleas from our friends at Mt. Cuba Center. In total, there were 9 different species and 17 different accessions. These included some pretty exciting specimens such as a shinyleaved selection of R. arborescens (sweet azalea); a larger-than-normal flowering selection of R. colemanni (Red Hills azalea), a species only recently discovered; and the very late-blooming R. arborescens var.

Georgiana which blooms in July alongside R.

prunifolium (plumleaf azalea). The donation also included 4 different accessions of flame azalea, R. austrinum which are now planted under the pine trees near the pond. With 17 seed-grown flame azaleas, it will be interesting to see the genetic variation which can lead to variations in growth form and even flower color. Yes, even though they are the same species, and even though flame azaleas are typically orange, some could end up being nearly yellow and some could end up being nearly red.

planting throughout the garden. Of course, ever thankful for the gifts we are given, we also shared several of these plants with Mt. Cuba.

The gardens just keep getting better and better and we hope you will look for these new additions next spring.

Goal $20 million by 2020

The second opportunity came from a seed collecting trip to the Southeastern US by Executive Director, Harold Sweetman.

Harold accompanied Tom Clark from Polly Hill Arboretum who was in search of the rare Pinkshell Azalea (R. vaseyi) for a research study. Of course, no good plantsman can venture into the woods in search of one thing and not end up with some others. Harold brought back 23 total accessions of 9 different species. The Arboretum's staff grew the plants on a light rack until they were ready to be pricked out and potted up. Now, there are hundreds of azaleas being grown on for

Using A Generator Safely Safe use of generators...

Don't connect your generator directly to your home's wiring. Connecting a portable electric generator directly to your household wiring can be deadly to you and others. A generator that is directly connected to your home's wiring can "backfeed" onto the power lines connected to your home. Utility transformers can then "step-up" or increase this backfeed to thousands of volts - enough to kill a utility lineman making outage repairs a long way from your house.

Don't overload the generator. Do not operate more appliances and equipment than the output rating of the generator.

Overloading your generator can seriously damage your valuable appliances and electronics.

use extension cords with exposed wires or worn shielding.

Read and adhere to the manufacturer's instructions for safe operation. Don't cut corners when it comes to safety. Carefully read and observe all instructions in your portable electric generator's owner manual.

Use the proper power cords. Plug individual appliances into the generator using heavy-duty, outdoor-rated cords with a wire gauge adequate for the appliance load. Overloaded cords can cause fires or equipment damage. Don't

Turn off all equipment powered by the generator before shutting down your generator.

When power is restored...

Never use a generator indoors or in an attached garage. Just like your automobile, a portable generator uses an internal combustion engine that emits deadly carbon monoxide. Be sure to place the generator where exhaust fumes will not enter the house. Only operate it outdoors in a well-ventilated, dry area, away from air intakes to the home, and protected from direct exposure to rain and snow, preferably under a canopy, open shed or carport.

Wait a few minutes and plug appliances back in one at a time.

Make a list of items you wish you had and restock for the next emergency.

Never plug a portable electric generator into a regular household outlet. Plugging a generator into a regular household outlet can energize "dead" power lines and injure neighbors or utility workers.

Know The Hazards Of Heavy Rain And Flooding Develop an evacuation plan for your family

Floods are one of the most common weather hazards in the United States. They can happen anywhere at any time of year.

Don't walk in water above your ankles; you can be swept off your feet in as little as 6 inches of rushing water

What is a Flash Flood?

Densely populated areas have a higher risk for flash floods than rural areas.

Flash floods can occur within minutes or hours of a heavy rainfall, and waters can rise as high as 30 feet or more. Even small streams and creeks can flood rapidly and cause damage. Flash floods are usually caused by slowmoving thunderstorms.

According to the National Weather Service, "Flash floods are short-term events occurring within six hours of the causative event (heavy rain, dam break, levee failure, rapid snowmelt and ice jams) and often within two hours of the start of high-intensity rainfall."

Turn off the electricity and other utilities

Flash floods can move homes and cars, uproot trees and destroy bridges.

Because floods happen with little to no warning, residents in low-lying areas are particularly at risk.

Don't Let Mosquitoes Take a Bite Out of Your Summer For many people, it's one of the best times of the year. Summertime is quickly approaching and so is the season of patios and decks, grilling, seemingly endless yard work, and afternoons in the pool.

But as with most good things, there is a catch. Or should I say a buzz? A teaspoon of standing water combined with the warm summer weather creates the perfect breeding grounds for mosquitoes.

Health Concerns We all know that being bitten by mosquitoes is no fun, leaving you itchy and irritated for days. But the annoyance your family suffers from mosquitoes and other biting insects can be more than inconvenient it can be deadly.

Insect-borne illnesses are a cause for concern.

Zika Virus made headlines last year with it's U.S. landfall in July and is still a serious concern in 2017. So far, over 5,000 cases have been reported in the United States, 222 of them locally transmitted. The virus is linked to microcephaly and Guillain-Barre

syndrome, two neurological birth defects that can be transmitted to the baby from the mother during pregnancy. The most common form of transmission, however, is through the bite of an infected Aedes mosquito.

Common symptoms include fever, rash, joint pain, and conjunctivitis (pink eye). The illness associated with Zika is usually very mild, typically lasting several days and rarely severe enough to require hospitalization.

While Zika virus might still hold the spotlight this summer, other mosquito-borne illnesses such as West Nile and Dengue Fever are also active dangers. As of January 2017, 47 states reported West Nile infections, with over 2,000 confirmed cases. Many infected individuals do not exhibit symptoms, but those who do show signs such as fever, headache, body aches, joint pain, vomiting, and rash. Severe cases can result in encephalitis or meningitis, but those are rare (less than 1% of those infected).

Unfortunately, there is no treatment or vaccine for Zika or West Nile virus at this time, so the best way to protect yourself is to guard against mosquito bites.

fountains, plant pots, buckets, barrels, tarps, kid's toys, pet water dishes or anywhere else that water may gather.

Clean out gutters to avoid standing water.

Examine them for clogs and damage that would cause water to collect.

Drill holes in tire swings, trashcans or recycle bins so water drains out.

Use soil to fill in low areas in lawns and landscaped areas where rainwater may collect and stand for more than seven days.

Keep swimming pools clean, properly circulated and filtered. Keep children's wading pools empty and on their sides when they are not being used.

Repair leaky outdoor faucets.

Cut grass and shrubs short, as adult mosquitoes gather to rest in shady, cool areas. Keep your yard weed-free and avoid overgrown vegetation.

Professional mosquito control utilizes trained technicians to treat your yard with a barrier spray that eliminates mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks from ruining your outdoor fun.

Tips for Staying Safe from Mosquitoes What can you do about these buzzing pests to make sure your yard is a safe place? You can start by making sure mosquitoes don't have places to breed.

Having Your Driveway Sealed - Use A Reliable Contractor!

Use a reputable contractor.

A professionally designed and properly constructed asphalt pavement will last for many years and most reputable contractors will stand behind their work. Consumers are safer dealing with a contractor who has roots in the community. Look out for those who are: Selling door-to-door: Reputable asphalt contractors will sometimes offer their services if they are doing a legitimate job in the immediate area. Always ask for references.

Claiming they have leftover asphalt from another job: Professional asphalt contractors will know, with great accuracy, how much paving material is needed to complete a project. Rarely will they have leftover material.

Pushing you to make a quick decision: Reputable contractors will provide a written estimate that will be valid for weeks or months. If the great deal they are offering you today is not available tomorrow or next week it may be a scam. be valid for weeks or months. If the great deal they are offering you today is not available tomorrow or next week it may be a scam.

Not offering a contract: Insist upon a written contract specifying in detail the work to be performed and the agreed upon price.

Accepting only cash: Most reputable contractors take checks or credit cards and don't require cash-only terms.

Offering a deal that seems to be good to be true: If the quoted price seems very low, chances are the quality of the work will also be quite low.

Driving an unmarked truck: Often the trucks they travel in are unmarked or they have an out of town address and phone number. A little research will reveal that they have no permanent address and the phone number is often an answering machine.

A Clean & Safe Garage As creatures of habit, rudimentary tasks often become second nature. Like when you pull into the driveway and without really thinking, reach up and hit the garage door remote, pull in, and hit it again. Now satisfied that the to-do list is pretty much completed, you exit the chariot and retreat into the house with confidence that all left behind in the garage is safe and sound. Right? Well, maybe.

Now, I may be exaggerating just a little, but something struck a chord with me when I heard about the most recent Oakland, California fire which destroyed an entire commercial warehouse, taking 33 lives. This immediately reminded me of the definition of "warehouse."

"A building or part of one, for the storage of goods, merchandise, etc."

them. Even wood or large amounts of paper products. That's what garden sheds are for.

Second, and just as important, clear the entire floor area. You should be able to move in and around parked vehicles easily at all times. Not only is it important to be able to get out in case of an emergency, but it's just as important for our beloved First Responders to have a clear and safe path to get in.

Sound familiar?

But, if you're like most of us garage transients, our garages have a tendency to become the dumping grounds or, at best, staging areas for items that we had every intention of storing nicely away, neat and organized so that it can easily be found when needed again, right?

Sounds good. But, we all know better.

The authorities will be investigating that fire for months to come. But, what I got out of the preliminary report was that the building or "parts of the building" had been used improperly to store unsafe, highly combustible/flammable materials and that the better part of the building was disorganized and misused, causing the path in, around, and, most importantly, out of the building, difficult, if not impossible to navigate in the event of an emergency.

Now, that's safety smart on many levels.

Sounds like a perfect excuse for a "Garage Sale"

I'm sure you already see my point. Try leaving the cars out in the drive for a couple days next weekend and get re-acquainted with the content packed and piled throughout the garage. First, give serious consideration to properly removing and relocating all your accelerants like gasoline, aerosols, oils, paints, and cleaners; and the equipment that use

Dog Training - Spring Safety With the nice weather coming, there are plenty of opportunities to spend time outside with your pooch. While walking, hiking and playing outdoors can lead to great relationship building and training opportunities, there are a few important safety tips to keep in mind this spring. There are both indoor and outdoor risks that can pose a danger to your dog, so taking a few preventative steps can ensure safe adventures. While outside with your pet, keep these few precautions in mind to ensure their safety during the springtime fun.

First, you should always have identification on your pet.

Collar embroidery or I.D. tags are the best option and be sure to update your personal information whenever you move or change phone numbers. Your pet may already have a microchip implanted under the skin of their neck, which is a great tool that can link your pet back to you. However, remember to update it regularly and keep in mind that not every chip operates on the same frequency, which can impede a reunion. V irtually anyone can read a collar tag, but not everyone knows to take a found dog to a shelter or vet for a microchip scan.

When you are out with your dog in your garden or a public park, be aware that many decorative plants

and seasonal foliage are poisonous for your pet.

Easter decorations and flowers can be especially harmful to your pet, as well, so be sure to steer clear of public decorations and decorate your home with care.

Another, less obvious, plant danger lies in the fertilizers and insecticides many towns and neighborhoods use to safeguard greenery. Walking through these chemicals can lead to licked paws or minor burns so it's always a good idea to wipe your dog's paws if they've been walking through green spaces.

Along with spring flowers comes springtime pests.

If your pooch is not already on a year-round preventative for heartworm, fleas and ticks, now is a good time to talk to your vet about starting a preventative regimen. With the warm weather come the mosquitoes and other pesky critters that can pass on deadly diseases, such as heartworm and Lyme so it's especially important to protect your pet from these small assailants.

Once you find the best product for your pet, be sure to also do regular spot checks for ticks and fleas, especially after a hike or any romp through tall grass. One quick way to distinguish fleas from dirt is to dab any suspected spots with a wet paper towel.

Flea dirt will leave a red residue while regular dirt will look like mud. If you suspect your pet has any sort of infestation, schedule an appointment with your vet to rectify the matter so you and your pooch can continue enjoying the spring weather together.

Remember that you are not the only animals outside enjoying the warmer weather. Small, woodland creatures can pose a big bite risk to your pup so only choose well-traveled paths when adventuring outside and try to keep your pup out of any deep brush.

While working to protect your pet outdoors, don't forget about common indoor dangers this spring.

With the nice, warm weather, many of us are tempted to open a window or leave the door ajar, but keep in mind that this may be an open invitation for your dog to get a quick jail break in this season.

Before you leave any windows cracked open, test your screens to ensure they haven't come loose over the window and make sure your storm door or screen door can lock shut. Everyone wants to enjoy the cross breezes, but be sure that you don't end up chasing a pup with three tails to the wind the next time you open a window.

Spring breezes often bring out spring cleaning and minor fixing up around many homes. Most cleaning products are toxic to your pooch so always close all pantry doors and never leave a bucket of cleaning solution unsupervised. One quick drink for your pup can lead to one expensive vet visit for you.

With minor construction projects can come all sorts of paraphernalia that your pup would love to explore: paint, nails, staples, and power tools are all important items to keep away from any curious noses and paws!

Lastly, for your safety and theirs, be aware of any outside allergens that might be invading your home! Air conditioning and fans do a great job of circulating cool air but they can also transfer allergens all over your home. Changing your filters regularly and leaving your outdoor gear outside can go a long way in reducing the risk of allergens for you and your pet. Pet wipes can also be very useful in helping clean off your dog before they carry dirt and pollens throughout your home so try to keep some stocked right by your door as a reminder to wipe down any dirty coats or paws.

By keeping just a few safety precautions in mind, you and your pooch can enjoy the spring weather in comfort knowing that you are prepared and ready for any spring time hazards.

Senior Lifestyles Make the Most of Your Medical Appointments For many of us, a second pair of ears can be a helpful addition on medical appointments, especially if you're not feeling well or dealing with a stressful situation. Here are some of the benefits of having someone with you: You are more likely to attend the appointment if someone is going with you.

When you receive information, your friend can help you remember what was discussed during the appointment or can take notes.

When you need to discuss something challenging with your doctor, it helps to have an ally in the room.

Your friend can help you to complete recommended follow ups including additional appointments and testing.

Some of us are lucky enough to have loved ones or friends to come along.

For those who do not, Surrey's Care Managers offer support and advocacy for medical appointments as well as a wide scope of other coordination services. Contact 484-321-6105 for more information about Care Management.

Your friend can build a relationship with your doctor if they need to advocate for you in the future.

A fresh perspective may help you by thinking of different questions to ask or considerations you should have about your situation.

The individual can help remind you of questions you would like to ask.
