Before water relaxation or wet and wild fun in the pool this year,
experts suggest taking the necessary preparations to help ensure swimming pool playtime is safe, healthy and worry-free.
“Parents continue to make strides when it comes to safeguarding
their families around the pool,” said Michele Hlavsa with the Healthy
Swimming program at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC). “Swimming pool safety is a must for every family.”
Here are some simple poolside health and safety tips:
• Protective Barriers—Learn what types of enclosures, such as selflatching fences or gates, should be used to keep kids from entering your
pool while unattended.
• Keep Poolside Areas Clutter-Free—To prevent accidents such as
slipping and falling into or around pools, make it a point to pack up pool
toys and supplies that are not in use.
• Check for Healthy, Safe Water Levels—Swimming pools can be
unhealthy if pool water is contaminated. The CDC recommends testing
your pool’s water with products such as AquaChek Pool and Spa Test
Strips at least three times a week for active sanitizer (chlorine, bromine,
other), pH, total alkalinity and other water conditions if the pool is not
being used. If use of the pool increases, test more often.
Simply dip a test strip into your pool or spa, then compare it to the
color chart on the product’s label. You’ll know immediately how safe
Christopher Spohn prepares to and clean your pool water is and what adjustments you need to make in
give the relay a dynamic start. your pool chemicals to ensure continued cleanliness. Public pool users
can also pack water test strips in their pool bag to check that the water
is safe for swimming.
• Set Pool Parameters—Establish guidelines for kids and visitors.
Talk to kids about swimming only when an adult is present and never
going to the bathroom while in a pool. Test water levels for cleanliness
before each use and make sure all pool patrons understand the dangers
of running, jumping and diving into and around pools.
These simple swimming pool safety tips can help your family enjoy
the pool, knowing it’s safe and healthy.
Visit www.aquachek.com to locate the nearest pool and spa dealers
carrying AquaChek test strips or call (574) 262-2060.

The Shrine Bowl will be played

of Sterling and Peru State
recruit, has been selected to play
on the South Shrine team.
The date change is a significant
one, but one that Shine Bowl Executive Director, Steve Nelson felt
was necessary. “We’re hoping to
accommodate as many players as
possible so they all have an opportunity to take part. With the game
in July many athletes are ready to
start their fall camps or are already
enrolled in college summer school”.

have that conflict. “This really is a
great experience for them. In fact,
we have players who come back and
tell us that being part of Shrine Bowl
was one of the most memorable experiences of their career. Our job is
to make that experience possible —
to give them a week they won’t forget.”
“This game only happens once a
year. The players who are invited to
take part in Shrine Bowl are really
the cream of the crop. This is a huge
honor for them.” Nelson hopes that
fans will continue to support the
players, and won’t be confused with
the date change. “For years now,
we’ve held it in July. We hope everyone marks the new date on their
calendar and comes out on June 19
to support our players.”
Players will report to their respective camps on June 11. Practice will
be held the week following with the
North Team camped at Nebraska
Wesleyan College in Lincoln and
the South Team at Doane College in
Crete.
Members of the media are invited
to come and meet the players and
coaches at the annual Media Day,
Monday, June 14. The South Team
will be made available at Doane College, 8:30 a.m. followed by the North
Team at Nebraska Wesleyan at 10:30
a.m. During those times, team pictures will also be taken.
Perhaps one of the most significant events for the players will happen during the middle of their practice week. That is when they are

flown to the Shriners Hospital in St.
Louis to meet the patients. Nelson
says it’s the moment that players
often come to realize the bigger
meaning of the game they play. “The
funds that are raised by this game
are donated to the Shrine Hospital
system.
By meeting the patients, the players get a greater understanding of
how their participation in Shrine
Bowl benefits kids who can’t run or
even walk like they can. For many
of our athletes, it’s a real eye-opening experience.”
Players on the North Team will
fly out the morning of June 15, returning later that day. The South
Team will fly out the morning of the
following day, June 16. Interviews
with players or coaches concerning their hospital visits can be arranged by calling the Shrine Bowl
office at 402-477-4908.
As in year’s past, the day of the
Shrine Bowl Game will begin with a
parade in Havelock. The lineup includes a variety of floats, cars,
clowns and other displays from
Nebraska’s three Shrine centers. Local high school bands are also featured, as well as the All-Star Masonic
Band. Jon Hesse, the 2010 Shrine
Bowl Celebrity, will help lead the parade at 11:00 a.m. Nelson says every
year, more and more people come out
to watch the parade. “That community has really opened its arms to
us. The crowds just keep growing.
People start setting their chairs out
an hour or so before it starts, just so
they can get a good seat.”

I misplaced my cell phone on Memorial Day. I thought I would find it,
but by Thursday afternoon it was
nowhere to be found.
I purchased a “Droid” phone with
more bells and whistles than the
pages in the book War and Peace.
Along with the lost phone, I lost
over 250 phone numbers that were
stored in it. I found out later I could
have the numbers backed up and
printed out in case something bad
happens like what happened to me,
but I have only had three cell phones
in my life and no idea that service
was available.
I have taken time to enter 129
phone numbers in my new phone,
but am now relying on people to call
me at 402-540-3322, so I can get their
numbers back in the contact list.
It’s been a pain in the shorts, but
I may need a college course in learning how to use everything available
on my new “Droid.”

Roca family educates
about tick-borne illnesses
By Jessica Alexander
Within the beautiful countryside
and rolling hills of eastern Nebraska there is danger lurking. Not
in the form of wild dogs or severe
weather, but instead in something
much smaller, but yet a very common occurrence during the summer
months. Ticks. Ticks that carry tickborne illnesses, including Lyme
disease, once thought to be extremely rare in Nebraska.
Barb Robertson and her son,
Ben, of Roca, are on a mission to
help warn their fellow Nebraskans
about the dangers of tick bites and
the illnesses that arise from them.
Barb and Ben were
both recently diagnosed with Lyme
disease, but not
through our doctors here in the
state.
Barb’s story is
similar to most
people who reside
in rural parts of the
state. She lives on
an acreage with her
home surrounded by long prairie
grass and crop fields. Barb and her
kids enjoyed playing outdoors in
the summer among the tall grasses;
taking pictures, running, just having fun. It was during this playtime
that Barb contracted a disease that
would, to this day, continue to affect her life.
One year ago, Barb, after being
outside with her kids, discovered a
tick bite on her ankle. It was really
no big deal, with ticks being such a
common occurrence during the
summer. It was shortly afterwards,
when she developed severe flu-like
symptoms, debilitating fatigue and
right-hand side numbness, that she
thought there might be something
wrong. Barb ended up in the emergency room only to come out without a diagnosis of what was wrong.
“I had MRI’s, CAT scans, a spinal tap, and several other tests. I
met with a neurologist, who
couldn’t help me. Over the course
of the summer, I saw six different
doctors and nobody could help.”
said Barb, “Eventually I went to
UNMC’s (University of Nebraska
Medical Center) Infectious Diseases department and I was told by
the doctor there that there is no
Lyme disease in Nebraska.”
Barb later went on to say that
part of the problem with Lyme disease treatment and diagnosis may
lie in the risk to doctors for treating chronic Lyme disease patients.
She explained that treating outside
of the standard care for antibiotics
could, and has, put doctors at risk
of losing their licenses. Some
states, such as New Hampshire,
Missouri, and Connecticut have
already passed legislation that protects doctors from disciplinary action for treatment of chronic Lyme
disease. Barb reported that as of
now, she hasn’t seen any legislation for this protection for the state
of Nebraska doctors.
Rob, Barb’s husband, decided
to try and find some answers on
his own to help his wife with her
ailment. He contacted an Iowa
Lyme disease support group. The
president of the group suggested
a doctor in Iowa that was a specialist in Lyme and had a lab that specialized in tick-borne illnesses. Barb
went to the specialist and was finally able to get some answers.
They administered a Western Blot
test, a simple blood test that is more
effective in diagnosing Lyme disease than the first line of diagnosis, the ELISA test.
On October 17, 2009, the Western Blot test came back
positive and Barb began
treatment immediately.
Barb had been living
with Lyme disease for
four and a half months
before it was diagnosed properly. Her
treatments so far have
consisted of a lot of antibiotics both oral and
injections,
supplements, and even hormone treatments.
“A lot of people don’t know
about it for years. It’s commonly
misdiagnosed as fibromyalgia and
even M.S.” said Barb.
Years of misdiagnosing are
what happened to be the case with
Barb’s son Ben. Ben, a University
of Nebraska-Lincoln student, was
diagnosed with Lyme disease just
this past May. His symptoms were
unlike Barbs. Instead of having a
sudden onset of symptoms, Ben
had a very gradual rise in complications over a period of three to
four years.
He had problems that included
joint pain, neck pain, numbness
and tingling in the extremities, and
cognitive and memory problems.
The main reason Ben was being
misdiagnosed for so long was he
had West Nile virus shortly before
showing symptoms of Lyme disease. Recovery symptoms from
West Nile virus and onset symptoms of Lyme disease share many
commonalities including Ben’s
joint pain and stiffness.
“The symptoms of Lyme disease really affected my school
work, especially during my senior
(of high school) and freshman (of
college) years,” said Ben.
After Barb was diagnosed with
Lyme disease, she convinced her
son to get the Western Blot test
done. He did and the results came
back positive for Lyme
disease.
There is no cure
for Lyme disease,
only treatment for its
symptoms, said Barb.
“My doctor said
something like 97 percent of his patients
become
symptom
free…. But a relapse is
a possibility in the future.”
By getting diagnosed later rather
than earlier, treatment
tends to be much
lengthier. Barb said
she is looking at
about two to three
years of treatment. “Every day
matters” added Barb, “when it
comes to diagnosis and how long
your treatment is expected to be.”
Barb, Ben and others who have
been diagnosed with Lyme disease
can live symptom free for quite a
while, but they will never be fully
cured of the disease and must be
aware if they are showing symptoms of relapsing.
Lyme disease is actually a bacterial infection, called Borrelia
burgdorferi, that transmits from the
tick to its host when bitten. Early
symptoms that occur can include
severe flu-like symptoms; a ring
rash that is usually red in color and
can grow; extreme fatigue; joint
stiffness and pain; memory problems; and other severe symptoms.
These symptoms can appear anywhere from a day after the infected
tick bite to many months. The rash
doesn’t show up in 30 percent of
cases, which makes diagnosing
Lyme disease sometimes tricky.
Some good ways to protect
yourself against tick bites and
tick-borne illnesses are: wear lightcolored clothing to see ticks better, long pants tucked into socks,
shoes that cover the feet and a
hat. Use tick repellent. Barb recommends using a spray with the
ingredient Permethrin for your
clothing items and spray with the
ingredient DEET for your skin.
Check yourself frequently for ticks
both outside and when you get
back indoors. Finally, educate
yourself and your family about the
dangers of tick-borne illnesses.
You don’t need to give up going outdoors and participating in
your normal activities. It’s all
about prevention and protection.

Chiropractic tips and advice to
improve your golf game and save your back
Submitted by Brian Garton
Complete Chiropractic - Hickman
Article by The American
Chiropractic Association
Many avid golfers contort their
bodies into oddly twisted postures,
generating a great deal of torque.
Couple this motion with a bent-over
stance, repeat 120 times over three
or four hours, add the fatigue that
comes with several miles of walking, and you’ve got a good workout-and a recipe for potential lowerback trouble.
As America’s love affair with the
game continues to grow, the American Chiropractic Association
(ACA) has advice on how to take a
proactive approach that will prepare
your body for many years of pain-
free play.
“Most golfers go until they get
hurt, then look for help,” says Dr.
David Stude, member of the ACA
Sports Council and founding fellow
of the National Golf Fitness Society. “Back pain is a warning sign that
there is an underlying problem responsible for a symptom that will
likely get worse. Doctors of chiropractic look for the cause of the
symptom and help reduce the likelihood of future injury.”
If you take the chiropractic approach, you’re in good company.
According to Dr. Stude, Tiger
Woods says that lifting weights and
visiting his chiropractor regularly
have made him a better golfer. Dr.
Stude and the ACA suggest these

simple measures to help you avoid
back pain or injury and improve
your game:
—Purchase equipment that fits.
Don’t try to adapt your swing to the
wrong clubs: A six-footer playing
with irons designed for someone
five inches shorter is begging for
back trouble.
—For the women in golf: If you
have “inherited” your husband’s or
significant other’s golf clubs, they
might be difficult for you to use. Not
only are the clubs often too long,
but the shaft is often not flexible
enough for a woman’s grip. Women
typically play better with clubs that
are composed of lighter, more flexible material, such as graphite.
—For the men in golf: It is a good
idea to spend some extra time performing quality stretches-before
and after your game-to increase
your trunk flexibility. While men are
traditionally stronger than women,
they usually aren’t as flexible. Men
need to improve their flexibility to
maintain a more even and consistent swing plane and thus improve
the likelihood of more consistent
performance.
—For golfers: For some, scores
may not be as important as enjoying the social benefits of the game.
Having clubs that are comfortable
will increase the chances of playing
for a long time without significant
physical limitations.
—Take lessons. Learning proper
swing technique is critical. At the
end of the swing, you want to be
standing up straight; the back
should not be twisted.
—Wear orthotics. These custom-made shoe inserts support the
arch, absorb shock, and increase
coordination. “Studies show custom-made, flexible orthotics can improve the entire body’s balance,
stability and coordination, which
translates into a smoother swing and
reduced fatigue,” Dr. Stude says.
While the upper part of a shoe may

home caregiver
score style points, what the foot
rests on affects your game.
—Warm up before each round.
“Stretching before and after 18 holes
is the best way to reduce post-game
stiffness and soreness,” says Dr.
Stude. Take a brisk walk to get blood
flowing to the muscles; then do a
set of stretches. To set up a stretching and/or exercise routine, see a
doctor of chiropractic or golf pro
who can evaluate your areas of tension and flexibility.
—Pull, don’t carry, your golf bag.
Carrying a heavy bag for 18 holes
can cause the spine to shrink, leading to disk problems and nerve irritation. If you prefer to ride in a cart,
alternate riding and walking every
other hole—bouncing around in a
cart can also be hard on the spine.
—Keep your entire body involved. Every third hole, take a few
practice swings with the opposite
hand to keep your muscles balanced
and even out stress on the back.
—Drink lots of water. Dehydration causes early fatigue, leading
you to compensate by adjusting
your swing, thus increasing the risk
of injury. Don’t smoke or drink alcoholic beverages while golfing, as
both cause loss of fluid.

So the “Aha” moment arrives.
Circumstances make you realize two
things. 1) Mom’s not as young as
she used to be, and 2.) “Old age
ain’t for sissies” as the great Bette
Davis once said.
Gradually, it happens…mom
can’t keep up with household
chores, can’t see the street signs to
drive safely, she’s given up cooking or can’t walk without holding
on to the furniture. And it begins, a
nagging fear that she’s losing independence. In fact, loss of independence is the biggest fear among seniors. So what is the typical senior
response? Pull yourself up by the
bootstraps and keep on going, of
course! Call in the kids to help out!
Unfortunately, the kids have
spouses and children of their own.
And they have full time jobs, or
they live out of town. It’s time for a
new strategy.
Many seniors are finding the solution to remaining independent lies
outside the family with paid
caregivers. Kris Beckenbach of
Guardian Angel’s Homecare explains, “Most seniors find
caregivers in two ways. The old way
is to run a classified ad or hire
through a temporary service. The
senior bears all the “employer” responsibility for this kind of
caregiver.”
The new way is to contract with
a Companion Care Agency. These
private agencies provide “in-home,
non-medical care”. They offer a
wide range of services including
light housekeeping, meal preparation, laundry, transportation, shopping and errands, and even assistance with personal care. These one
on one services can continue
should the senior move into assisted
living or even a nursing facility or
hospital.”
Companion Care is usually available anywhere from a few hours up
to 24 hours a day. Payment is private pay and may be covered by
long term care insurance policies.
Beckenbach says, “This service
is more expensive than independent
caregivers but the right agency will
provide the most customizable, reliable, worry free, in- home service
available.”

Tools for a
better workout
and a healthier heart
Sometimes, the best exercise
equipment isn’t what you find in the
gym--it’s what you bring there.
Experts say tucking a personal
heart rate monitor or pedometer into
your gym bag could be key to a better workout. The tiny devices are
used to track workout intensity,
helping people more efficiently burn
calories and reach their exercise and
weight loss goals.
“The monitors assure you’re
working out efficiently,” explains
Kate Powers, MS, a National Academy of Sports Medicine certified
performance enhancement specialist and regional metabolic specialist for Life Time Fitness. “Too little
intensity yields slow results and
keeps you from achieving your
goals. And an intensity that’s consistently too high can be counterproductive.”
To determine your target heart
rate, you can have a metabolic test
done at a gym or by a personal fitness instructor. You can also use the
following formula from the American Heart Association (AHA) as a
general guideline: “220 - your age =
your maximum heart rate.” Your target heart rate is between 55 and 90
percent of that number.
The AHA says adults need moderate-intensity aerobic exercise for
30 minutes, five times per week, or
vigorous exercise for 20 minutes,
three times per week. Powers offers
these tips for using a heart rate monitor or pedometer to meet those
goals:
• Bring your own. Don’t rely on
heart rate monitors that are built into
machines at the gym. Some machines don’t have this option, and
having your own personal monitor
eliminates the hassle of holding to
the machine to measure your heart
rate, which can give you delayed responses and impact your workout.
Invest in your own device. They’re
relatively inexpensive, can be powered by simple Energizer(r) batteries and can be a great way to track
your workout progress. Similarly,
using your own pedometer can help
you track not only the miles you
cover at the gym but also throughout the day as you run errands or
handle other tasks.
• Do a calorie challenge. Use the
calorie-counting feature on your
heart rate monitor and give yourself
a daily goal. For example, burning
3,500 calories is equivalent to one

goals faster.
pound of fat. You can set a goal to
lose one pound per week, and you
can use your monitor to help you
keep track of calories burned,
roughly 500 calories per day to
achieve this goal.
• Use interval training to burn
more fat. You can use your heart
rate monitor to alert you of how intensely you are exercising. For example, if you think of your exertion
in 5 levels--with level 1 being mild
exertion and level 5 being extreme
exertion--you should aim for a mix
of intensity. A great way to do interval training is to spend two minutes
exercising at a level 2 of exertion,
one minute at level 4 of exertion, then
back to level 2.
• Don’t assume that a harder
workout is always better for you.
Mix your workout intensity during the week so you can burn fat
and challenge your heart and
lungs. Some days you’ll want to
keep your heart rate in a lower zone
and some days in a higher zone to
maximize calorie and fat burning
and to improve your cardiovascular health.
• Don’t think that heart rate
monitors are just for hard-core
athletes. Everyone, even beginners, can benefit from using a heart
rate monitor to keep track of his or
her fitness and health goals.

Used correctly, a blood thinner can
be a lifesaver. However, used improperly, it can pose a threat to the health
of the person taking it, leading, in some
cases, to uncontrolled bleeding.
More than 4 million Americans take
blood thinner drugs to avoid health
problems such as blood clots, heart
attack and stroke. Regular blood tests
can let you know if your blood is clotting properly, and simple precautions,
such as wearing gloves when gardening or using sharp tools around the
house, can help protect against injury
and avoid trips to the emergency room.
Talk To Your Doctor
It’s important to make sure that your
doctor knows about every medicine
you take, including medicines you
were taking before you started taking
a blood thinner. These medicines can
change the way your blood thinner
works, and your blood thinner can also
change the way your other medicines
work. This includes other prescription
medicines, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products.
For example, products that contain
aspirin may lessen the blood’s ability
to form clots and may increase your
risk of bleeding when you are also taking a blood thinner. Pain relievers, cold
medicines, and stomach remedies may
also interfere with how blood thinners
work, so it’s important to alert your
doctor if you are taking them.
Diet Is Important, Too
The foods you eat on a regular basis can also affect how well your blood
thinner works for you. For instance,
high amounts of vitamin K might work
against some blood thinners, such as
warfarin. Ask your doctor if you need
to pay attention to the amount of vitamin K you eat.
Foods that contain medium to high
levels of vitamin K, and can affect how
your blood thinner works include asparagus, broccoli, brussels sprouts,
cabbage, canola oil and kale.

Firth woman
battles anemia
By Gerry Baksys
Alice Booton should have known
something was wrong as soon as
she got up the morning of November 13, 2009, and her husband told
her to go back to bed.
Booton, who lives in rural Firth
with her husband Glen, got up feeling good, but Glen was shocked.
“He told me I looked really white and
told me that I should lie back down,”
Alice said. “I got up 10 minutes later.
Glen was outside doing chores. I
took a step out of bed and started
going down.”
Alice said she was able to call
Glen on his cell phone using the
speed dial feature before she passed
out. “He took me to the doctor’s
office in Adams,” Alice recalled.
“They thought I had a heart attack.
He recommended I go to the hospital in Lincoln.”
Fortunately for Alice, it wasn’t a
heart attack, it was anemia.
What Is Anemia?
According to WebMD.com, anemia is a condition that develops
when your blood lacks enough
healthy red blood cells. These cells
are the main transporters of oxygen
to organs. If red blood cells are also
deficient in hemoglobin, then your
body isn’t getting enough oxygen.
Symptoms of anemia, like fatigue,
occur because organs aren’t getting
enough oxygen. Anemia affects
about 3.5 million Americans. Women
and people with chronic diseases
are at increased risk of anemia.
There are more than 400 types of
anemia. Some forms are hereditary,
others affect woman during their
childbearing years, and still others
affect seniors due to poor diets or
other medical conditions.

Millions of Americans are overweight. Furthermore, it is estimated
that as many as 60 percent of those
that are overweight are actually
obese which is resulting in more and
more long-term health problems.
Americans are famous for dieting,
fasting and participating in fitness
crazes and programs with the hopes
of burning fat, losing weight, looking trim and feeling better.
But…many aren’t able to consistently keep the weight off and ultimately put it back on.
Becoming proactive with a good
plan to beat this is the ultimate answer.
The staff at Physicians Weight
Loss Centers (PWLC) offers medically supervised weight loss without the use of prescription drugs.
With 31 years of experience, millions
of people have lost weight. Moreover, PWLC have a very high success rate: 80 percent of their patients
reach their weight loss goal during
the program and 95 percent learn
better eating habits and have improved their health.
Physicians Weight Loss Centers
focus on weight loss and weight
maintenance to ensure that, once
the weight is lost, it’s lost for good.
Caring weight loss counselors focus on lifestyle changes, better eating habits and addressing food ad-
dictions as well as any other challenges clients might face. Individualized meal plans are based on grocery store food and meal replacements are optional.
The staff at Physicians Weight
Loss Centers is happy to share secrets on why its programs are so effective. Not every person responds
the same way, or loses weight at the
same rate; that’s why PWLC has developed six distinct and effective
weight loss systems to meet different lifestyle needs.
In addition, PWLC offers 150
highly specialized food, nutrition,
and weight loss products to help
make weight loss easy and effective.

looks forward to using
their newly acquired
skills in the upcoming
year.
