Well, with the convening of the Republican’s “Party” in Florida, the 2012 Presidential race is now off

and running. The news media is doing a great job with their 24 hour coverage, analyzing every “word” being said by the two major political camps. However, even though I want to educate myself as to the plans each candidate has for pointing our country in a better direc-tion, all I seem to hear is what one candidate thinks the other is doing wrong. It’s called mudslinging and both parties need to wash their faces - and their hands, too. But I think there just may be a way the American voters can get to the truth. It’s a gadget called “The Nonparti-

san Lie Detecting Shock-O-Matic”. (As seen on TV)

During a special joint session of Congress, each member, upon entry, will have this small electronic device installed in the backside of his or her pants, allowing it to monitor the truthfulness of each statement and recorded for future reference. Any false statements will be rewarded with a quick “posterior shock”, the severity of such depending upon the degree of the non-truth. (The candidates, you know, like to say, “I misspoke.”) At this dis-cussion-debate, the honest politicians will not be shocked, and the ones “trying, but lying” may be somewhat uncom-fortable. But the most egregious offenders will be “jumpin’ and shoutin’”, ”dancin’ and hollerin’”, the likes of which could be compared to one of those non-partisan, non-de-nominational good ole’ fashion camp meeting revivals! And if they claim the device is malfunctioning, the shock will be even more severe. There will be so much sliding around and clapping of hands, the Marine band may need to strike up that old Louie Prima tune, “Jump, Jive an’ Wail”! And the scene will be such a display of repentance, the congressional pages will probably be moved to pass the hat and take up a col-lection. But the excitement will eventually pass, leaving the lobbyists to prepare and serve “dinner on the grounds” in the White House rose garden. And they will, of course, pick up the tab.

But, leaving the above levity aside, I’m looking forward to the time when our country’s leaders will make decisions based on what’s good for the future of our citizens and not so much the perpetuation of a political party. We are very fortu-nate to live in a country of opposing opinions, and both the liberal and conservative camps have some really good ideas. Perhaps they will, one day, quit name calling and combine the wisdom of each party to keep the United States of America the best place in the world to live.

Caring for an aging parent or relative is one of the most stressful and challenging roles an individual will assume says gerontologist and elder care advi-sor Ester Koch. One out of four US workers is cur-rently responsible for caring for an aging parent and are forced to choose between doing their family duty or doing their job. In addition persons reaching the age 65 have an average life expectancy of another 19 years for females and 17 years for males. With this said many of us (25%) must make the decision of when is homecare needed?

Getting a “care assessment” is the best way to determine when an elder needs home care services. The following are some examples of a care assess-ment:

Activities of Daily Living (ADL)These are the basic tasks involved in personal

care and household work. How would you rate your loved one’s ability to:

n Do housework, laundry, shopping and cooking

n Maintain personal care, such as bathing, dressing and using the toilet

n Manage medical appointments and medications

n Handle personal finances and legal issues

Physical Health Considerations

Planning for home care also involves an assess-ment of health issues affecting both physical and mental health.

n Mobility: the ability to safely move around one’s own home and neighborhood is often compro-mised with advanced age

n Vision: vision impairment is common amongthe elderly and often leads to reduced social interaction and quality of life, depression and injuries from falls. In many cases elders do not report their vision problems, vision screening is recommended

n Hearing: hearing deficits are also common among older adults and can affect quality of life.

Mental Health ConsiderationsAssessing the mental health of the elderly can be

challenging. The line between memory problems that naturally occur with aging and memory prob-lems that occur in early stages of dementia and or Alzheimer’s can be hard to distinguish.

If an elder:

n Seems more confused than usual

n Has trouble completing daily routines

n Has difficulty keeping track of daily medications, house keys or other personal items

Signs of depression are also difficult to sort out:

n Low energy

n Loss of appetite

n Lack of interest in others

These maybe signs of cognitive impairment

Nutrition Considerations

Healthy eating is a challenge for all of us, and el-ders may have additional issues that make healthy eating even harder; poor health, difficulty shopping or cooking, food insecurity (hoarding), loneliness or depression. Nutrition can be a major issue for elders:

n Is the elder getting the right kinds and amount of food to meet daily health requirements

n Is the elder capable of shopping for the right foods and preparing them

n Is the elder eating the food he or she prepares of that is prepared for him or her

These are just a few examples of a Care Assess-ment. If you have any questions related to elder care please contact At Home Assistants. We pro-vide personal care assistance, companion and sitter services. We are licensed by the State of Georgia, and are insured and bonded.

How To Choose A Paint ColorAnd Love It

Want to liven up a space with color, but your just a

little bit afraid to chose one? Don’t worry, below are some great tips from

the color pros.

Always test out a paint color on a piece of poster board or di-•

rectly on the wall before you make a large paint purchase. Chose

a place by the windows, next to the door trim and in every corner

of the room and see how it looks. Paint color looks different in

larger samples than on the little chip from the paint store and in

different light during the day.

If in doubt go up to the less saturated color on the paint chip. It •

may be the best way to get used to color on your walls.

Use other objects other than paint chips to guide you. Perhaps •

a piece of china or art will inspire a color choice. I use fabric as a

startingpoint.It’saloteasiertofindapaintthatwillgowithmy

Many pros suggest looking into your closet for inspiration … look

Margarita Monday Specials Employee Spotlight – Ebony Harris

Arby’s on Bullsboro in Newnan has great food and excellent service. I enjoy having a quick lunch there a few times a month because the staff seem so friendly. There is one team member, however, who displays that “something special” that makes me want to come back again and again. She is Ebony Har-ris, and has been with Arby’s for about 14 months. “I try my best to maintain a good attitude, and I think maybe my smile is one of my best qualities”, she says. And she’s right! Ebony’s attitude is a good example of Tony D’Angelo’s quote, “Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine”.

Ebony grew up in Michigan but has lived in Coweta County for about twenty-five years. She has 4 children and one grandchild.

Thanks Ebony!

All you need is a caring heart! Your involvement will commu-nicate value to these patients and their families as you pro-vide companionship and a brief respite for caregivers. You will not need to provide any medical or physical care to the patient, just a caring heart and a listen-ing ear. You can provide care-giver relief for 2-4 hours each week to allow the caregiver to enjoy time out of the home. You can use your gifts and talents to impact someone in their last stages of life in many ways, and we will make sure you are well-trained, equipped, and supported. Please call Lynn Yeager 404-832-4232 with in-terest or questions.

typeOs and mistakes happen.The errors are not the fault of any of our advertisers or

contributors, but occur in the rush of pre-press production.

We sincerely apologize.

It MattersEverything on our planet is interconnected and delicately balanced. Our

world is constantly being changed, for better or worse, by the decisions we make individually and collectively. Those choices affect the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat; as well as all of the plants, animals, and insects. What we do really does matter now and in the future.

Water pollution, soil contamination, air pollution, and cli-mate changes are altering our environment. Many important habitats have been lost or changed. Pesticides, fertilizers, ani-mal waste runoff, industrial discharges, polluted storm water runoff and chemicals (such as synthetic estrogen, etc.) have harmed our environment. Animals and insects have experi-enced altered reproductive systems, birth defects, compro-mised immune systems, genetic changes and many deaths. Humans are also adversely affected by these problems. In-sect control, crop pollination, food sources, hunting and fish-ing, and drinking water are jeopardized. Our own immune systems, genetics, reproductive systems and our health are at risk.

Two examples of our interconnectedness are bees and frogs. Lately, both have been dying at alarming rates. Bees pollinate more than 50% of our crops in Georgia. Fruit-bearing trees, berry-producing plants, and most vegetables need bees for pollination. In recent years, the United States has lost more than 50% of its honeybee colonies to disease, pollution, pesticides, and loss of habitat. That’s not all. Frog populations, world-wide, have been rapidly declining. Frogs eat vast amounts of insects. They are important to scientific research and the development of new medical treatments for humans. An amphibian fungus (which needs both water and a host) is one of the major causes of these losses. Fish, snakes, birds, and insects; as well as water eco-systems are suffering from the loss of the tadpoles, frogs and amphibians. In Georgia, Gopher frogs have lost 97% of their habitat which also adversely affects the Gopher Tortoise (which shares its burrows). The Atlanta Botanical Garden is helping these and some 30 total species of amphibians by providing breeding and habitat. The Nature Conservancy has provided 2,000 acres of protected habitat. More help is needed.

What can we do? We can conserve, repurpose, recycle, and think “Green”. We can recognize the importance of our National and State parks as protected habitats. It is vital that families and individuals can continue to be able to afford large tracts of land for farms and ranches. These large tracts help provide wildlife refuges, protected wildlife corridors, and protected wetlands for habitat. Conserva-tion easements on private lands are one way to do this. These large undevel-oped areas also help to clean the air and recharge groundwater.

We can teach future generations to avoid the mistakes we have made. We can vote for elected officials who are sensitive to and responsive to these is-sues.

One environmental advocate’s perspective on these issues is Erin Brock-ovich’s newest project “Last Call at the Oasis”.

Volunteers play a vital role in the support of our pa-tients and their families. Support is given in many ways – sitting at bedside to relieve an exhausted caregiver, performing small tasks in the patient’s home, reading to a patient, or spending time with a patient and their family as a “friendly visitor”. No special skills are needed but a passion to serve others is desired.

Please call Mary at 678-817-4180 if you have ques-tions about our program or if you would like to at-tend volunteer training.

Preventing Football InjuriesBy Michael Cushing, MD

Football is one of the most popular sports and leads all other sports in the number of injuries sustained. An estimated 920,000 people are treated annually in hospitals, doctor’s offices and clinics for football related injuries. Sprains and strains account for 30% of injuries, broken bones followed with 22%. While only 1% of in-juries were concussions, this type of injury can be serious. Repeat injuries, particularly to the head, are the most serious threat to life.

Common Injuries to Football Players

m Traumatic: Knee injuries are most com-mon, especially those to the anterior and pos-terior cruciate ligaments (ACL/PCL) and to the meniscus. Shoulder injuries are also quite com-mon. This can involve injuries to the labrum as seen in shoulder dislocations, or involve injuries to the AC joint (AC dislocations). Ankle sprains are common as well.

m Concussions: A concussion is a change in mental state due to a trau-matic impact. The signs of a concussion include headache (most common), dizziness, nausea, loss of balance, numbness and tingling and blurry vision. The athlete should return to play only when clearance is granted by a physi-cian.

m Heat Injuries: These usually occur in August due to the high temps and humidity. Excessive sweating depletes the body of salt and water. Early symptoms include painful cramping of major muscle groups, profuse sweat-ing and weakness. Heat exhaustion can progress to heat stroke when the body’s temperature regulation fails. The affected individual becomes lethar-gic, confused, the skin stops sweating. This is life threatening and emer-gency medical attention is necessary.

Tips for players to reduce football related injuries

Perform proper warm up and cool down routines1.

Hydrate adequately, stay active during summer break to prepare to 2. return to sports in the fall

Choose equipment carefully, always be sure it is properly fitted and 3. wear all equipment, even when practicing

Make sure playing surface is free of debris, rocks, holes etc.4.

Limit blocking and tackling drills during practice, always tackle 5. with head up and do not lead with your helmet.

Always check with a physician after an injury to make sure it is safe 6. to return to play.

Dr. Mike Cushing received his undergraduate degree from In-diana University. He is a grad-uate of the Medical College of Georgia and did his residency at Georgia Baptist Hospital (now Atlanta Medical Center). Dr. Cushing did a shoulder/sports fellowship at Hughston Clinic and practices at Georgia Bone and Joint.
