New Route 219 Pennsy Bridge Opens (Ridgway, PA) – The Pennsylvania De-partment of Transportation is advising drivers that the new Pennsy Bridge on Route 219 in Ridgway opened on Monday, October 26. Route 219 has been closed at the site of the bridge since June 18 when the north-bound lane of the old bridge col-lapsed. Osterhout Street (Route 1014) will re-main in a two-way traffi c confi guration temporarily while traffi c studies are com-pleted. The temporary traffi c signals at the Route 120/Route 1014 (Osterhout Street) intersection will remain in operation until Osterhout Street returns to its “one-way” confi guration. PennDOT anticipates that this will be for a period of approximately one week. Work on the project began in late March and included replacement of the super-structure along with minor approach, drainage, and utility improvements. The bridge spans Elk Creek in Ridgway Bor-ough, carrying an average of almost 5,600

vehicles daily. Replacing the bridge allows PennDOT to remove it from Elk County’s structurally defi cient list. Francis J. Palo, Inc. of Clarion has been the contractor on this $2.2 million project. During this closure, a variety of de-tours were in use, impacting travel times. PennDOT thanks area drivers, business-es, residents, and emergency services for their patience and cooperation during the closure.

Mandatory Life Jacket Requirement Starts

November 1 (HARRISBURG, PA)– When sunny days and fall foliage tempt the boater in you, don’t forget about your life jacket, especially if you are planning to use a ca-noe, kayak or similar small boat. The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Com-mission (PFBC) is reminding boaters that beginning November 1 and lasting through April 30, they are required to wear a life jacket while underway or at anchor on boats less than 16 feet in length or on any canoe or kayak. The requirement applies to all Pennsylvania waters. “Life jackets are the most important piece of safety equipment on a boat,” says Ryan Walt, PFBC Boating and Watercraft Safety Manager. “According to Pennsyl-vania’s boating accident reports, almost 80 percent of all boating fatalities hap-pen to boaters not wearing a life jacket. A disproportionate number of the fatali-ties occur during the months of November through April. During these cold weather months, boaters are especially at risk due to the water temperature and the risk of sudden cold water immersion.” When a person is unexpectedly plunged into cold water below 70ºF, the body’s fi rst response is usually an involuntary gasp. Without a life jacket, a victim may inhale while under water and drown with-out coming back to the surface. If an in-dividual does make it back to the surface, his ability to swim is usually restricted because of a shortness of breath or hyper-ventilation. Individuals who plan to fi sh, boat or hunt from a boat this fall or winter are encour-aged to follow these cold water survival safety tips: • Always wear a life jacket, even when not required. Many models also of-

5 ¢ENTS WORTH by Grant Nichols It’s A Matter Of Opinion...

Guest Columnist

“Growing Arrogance ” -by Bob Perry

The growth of arrogance cannot be ig-nored and it continues from the leaders in government all the way down to people on the street. Starting with the atheists one can arro-gance abounds with their conclusion there is no existence of intelligence superior to that of their own. In the case of agnostics we fi nd there is a lack of a belief system incapable of ac-knowledging existence beyond the mate-rial world with an arrogance of sorts by not fi guring existence out and either be-coming a person of faith or a atheist. In maters of creation there is an arro-gance when it comes to conception and the brain washing of women in believing that the life growing within their bodies is ac-tually their body and can do with it as they wish. All who consider themselves as a believer and claim to be religious have a rational problem justifying the ending of life in process. Considering the media, such arrogance grows as continually spin news facts cre-ating perceptions that carry a false narra-tive misguiding recipients in reality on the most important issues of the day. Considering the mob mentality, we are bombarded with arrogant brow beating messages that attack groups that are not deserving of such attacks like the cur-rent push attacking law enforcement. Real questions are unanswered as to who is promoting this arrogant push to demean ’the fi nest’ and are the protesters being funded. The social connection avenues on the internet have for numerous years been creating a growth of sociological imagi-

nation creating an unwarranted sense of self-importance that is producing arrogant attitudes that are unhealthy mentally. This narcissism is most prevalent in the politi-cal class as they must be seen and heard and arrogantly insist they know what is best for all. As a result of this arrogance the actions and lack of actions, we the people have been led like sheep to a slaughter with a level of debt that cannot be paid with op-tions that are not pleasant. Know there is the possibility of a new currency to be is-sued that will make the currency we now have worth 40 cents on the dollar. Such a change would create mass hysteria result-ing in the closure of the banking system and a lack of funds to buy food and life supporting medication. Considering the Justice Department is leading the way in arrogance as this politi-cally directed arm of the Executive Branch of our government is selectively deciding which laws to enforce and which laws not to enforce. Added to this arrogance the Justice Department is selectively not in-dict people clearly guilty of crimes from the Banking System Collapse to people clearly guilty of targeting one political party in the IRS targeting scandal. In the process of one’s individual growth a value system need sto be created which should include the principal of knowing one is not any better than anyone else as well as one is not inferior to anyone else. Be as friendly to the janitor as the boss, and the level of one’s potential to become arrogant will be kept in check.

We stopped at two events this last weekend and brought back the pho-tos for this issue. The fi rst was that of a benefi t party held for the Cindy Tucker at the Masonic Center in Bradford, and the second was the Ham and Turkey Party put on by the Rew Volunteer Fire Department. In addition, a couple of photos of those submitted by Mary De-Palma have been included on the pages of this edition, while others can be found in the photo gallery……..It has just been announced that Street Dreams Car Club will once again be parading down Main Street Bradford to help usher in the Christmas season. The date scheduled for the event is Novem-ber 20th, at 6PM, and entries for those who want to be a part of it, can be made through the Bradford Area Chamber of Commerce Offi ce……..The Bradford American Legion Post #108 will be holding a Halloween Party, Saturday, October 31st. The Two Guys Drinking Beer band will perform from 8PM ‘til midnight, and plans for a costume con-test are underway……The VFW Post #212 and Club will present a Hallow-een party entitled “A Nightmare on Barbour Street” from 8PM ‘til mid-night on October 31st. The evening will begin with a DJ followed by the band and costume contest. We can also expect appetizers, fi nger foods, games, and more……..We talked with Jessica Dutton who works at the Bradford Ecumenical Home this last week, who told us that the home is in des-perate need of nurses’ aides. She said, “This looks like a work opportunity for those who like caring for others.” And continued by saying, “Here’s a chance for that type of person to be paid for doing what they like.”…….Day light sav-ings time will come to an end Sunday morning, November 1st. Clocks get set back one hour, giving us all an extra hour of sleep, no doubt, to rest up from our Halloween activities. (Outside of the silly ritual of the “changing of the clock” what other purpose does this serve?).......We believe that political organizations, those that produce misinformation, dis-information, and propaganda to wage war on party members and other politi-cal parties should not be entitled to any special tax advantage. That these organi-zations are allowed to parade themselves as educational in function is a travesty of justice and should be fair game for legal scrutiny of the Attorney General, the IRS, and the Federal Courts. After all, who in the free world would consider that type of verbal political warfare as falling within the legitimate defi nition of “education”?

Bradford Journal Photo Manning the reception desk at the Masonic Center, October 24th, during the Cindy Tucker Benefi t at the time of our arrival were, (l-r) John Lichtenberger, Deven Grandi-netti, and Jonah Tucker. John is Cindy’s son-in-law; Deven is a friend of Jonah, and Jonah is Cindy’s grandson. They tell us that there was a good turnout and that they were happy to take part in the event.

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCESTop 5 Money Fears – And How To Tackle Them

-by Nathaniel Sillin Are you worried about your fi nancial situation? For the eighth consecutive year, the American Psychological Association (APA) identifi ed money as the number one stress trigger, with 72 percent of Americans reporting stress about mon-ey and nearly 1 in 5 saying they had skipped or considered skipping going to the doctor due to fi nancial concerns. As for relationships, almost one third of adults with partners reported that money is “a major source of confl ict.” The following are common money stresses, and tips to tackling them. You’re just one paycheck away from fi nancial disaster. The Corporation for Enterprise Development’ recent Assets & Opportunity Scorecard reported that over 40 percent of American house-holds are “liquid asset poor,” meaning that they have less than three months of savings to help them absorb a fi nan-cial shock like a lost job, medical emer-gency or other unforeseen fi nancial ex-pense. Tip: Build an emergency fund. Af-ter learning how to budget (http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/budgeting), building an emergency fund (http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/emer-gencycalc) is the next essential step in fi nancial planning. Saving and invest-ing for other goals are equally impor-tant, but they should follow the creation and annual review of a healthy emer-gency fund. You’re lost fi nancially. A 2014 sur-vey by economists from George Wash-ington University and The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylva-nia states that only 30 percent of Amer-icans could accurately answer three ba-sic personal fi nance questions dealing with savings and investment returns. Respondents from other major devel-oped countries – including Germany, the Netherlands, Japan and Australia – scored roughly the same. It’s a global problem. Tip: Identify your biggest fi nancial problems. Does every dime you make go toward paying bills? No savings or investments? No emergency fund? Once you’ve identifi ed your main mon-ey blind spots, get help. Reach out to a trusted friend or relative with good money habits or a qualifi ed fi nancial advisor who can help you see where you stand, establish realistic goals and restart your fi nancial education. You’ll never catch up. Bankrate.com’s March Financial Security Index said that nearly half of Americans aren’t

saving enough for emergencies or re-tirement. Only a quarter of middle-class households earning between $50,000 and $75,000 were savings champs, put-ting away more than 15 percent of their income.Tip: Forget the past and begin today. Start by fi guring out where you stand fi nancially. Then address your expens-es and whether there’s an opportunity to boost your income so you can make up for lost time. Your money troubles are putting your closest relationships in jeopardy. Money issues affect all relationships, but couples can be hit the hardest by money secrecy or so-called “fi nancial infi delity.” Tip: Face the music. Get qualifi ed advice, quantify the extent of the prob-lem, make a plan and share the details face-to-face with loved ones or busi-ness partners who need to know. As-sume you won’t be able to control their response, so focus on solving the prob-lem and vow to end your secretive be-havior for good. You can’t face fi nancial paperwork. When you can’t face bills, statements and other fi nancial calls or communica-tions, it generally refl ects fi nancial un-certainty in some form. Tip: Get help. Pull the information together and get help if you need to. Put payments and other fi nancial decisions on a paper or digital calendar with re-minders to act.

Bottom line: Fear about money is-sues can affect your health and relation-ships. Diffuse that stress through edu-cation, assistance and positive action to improve your fi nancial future outlook.

Read the life jacket’s approval label to be sure it’s ap-propriate for your boating activity.• Never boat alone. • Leave a fl oat plan with family or friends and know the waters you plan to boat. • Bring a fully charged cell phone with you in case of emergency. • Wear clothing that still insulates when wet, such as fl eece, polypropylene or oth-er synthetics. • If you are about to fall into cold wa-ter, cover your mouth and nose with your hands. This will reduce the likelihood of inhaling water. • If possible, stay with the boat. Get back into or climb on top of the boat. • While in cold water, do not remove your

clothing. • If you can’t get out of the water, get into the Heat Escape Lessening Posture (HELP). In this position, individuals bring their knees to their chest and hug them with their arms.• Once out of the water, remove wet clothes and warm up as soon as possible.• Seek medical attention when necessary.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDEHealthy Lung Month: Adopt New Habits To

Breathe Easier

(NAPSI)—According to the Ameri-can Lung Association, lung cancer is the leading cancer killer in the United States and worldwide, causing more deaths than colorectal, breast and prostate cancers combined—but a few simple steps can help you protect your own life. What To Do Don’t Smoke: Quitting smoking and avoiding secondhand cigarette smoke is the best way to lessen your risk of serious lung conditions. Eat Well To Stay Well: Eating nutri-tious foods can go a long way in decreas-ing the risk of lung disease and cancer. Remember to incorporate antioxidant-rich foods such as berries, nuts and dark green vegetables into your diet. Antioxidants prevent cell damage, which is a precur-sor to cancers and other diseases. Drink-ing adequate amounts of water is also es-sential to lung health—and particularly important for seniors because the sense of thirst weakens with age. Water keeps the lining of the lungs thin, helping them function more effectively. Stay Active: Being active and partak-ing in aerobic exercises is especially bene-fi cial to lung health. You can increase your lung capacity and improve endurance just by walking every day for 30 minutes. Try parking farther from a destination or tak-ing the stairs instead of the elevator to get some aerobic exercise into your life. If you’re worried about the possibility of in-jury while doing physical activity, consid-er getting a GPS-enabled medical alert de-vice, such as those offered by Bay Alarm Medical, to ensure you can get medical assistance if you can’t call for help. Take A Deep Breath—And Then An-other: A more gentle approach to strength-ening your lungs is to do breathing exer-cises, which are great if you have limited mobility. Practice breathing exercises fi ve to 10 minutes, three to four times a day. One such exercise is called diaphragmatic breathing and has you lie on your back with knees bent and inhale deeply through your nose for three seconds. Place one hand on your stomach and one on your chest, taking note that your belly and lower ribs should rise while your chest is still. Tighten your abdominal muscles and exhale slowly through the mouth. Getting

AICR HealthTalk-by Karen Collins, MS, RD, CDN

American Institute for Cancer Research Q: I keep hearing about “sprouted grains.” What are they and what’s all the fuss about? A: Sprouted grains are whole grains that are soaked and then put under controlled conditions until the heat and moisture prompt development of a small sprout. The wet sprouted grains can then be puréed and used to make bread or other grain products. The sprouted grains can also be dried for use as a cooked grain (just as you would cook rice) or ground into sprouted grain fl our. Many different types of whole grains are available as sprouted grains, including brown rice, wheat, millet and buckwheat. Much of the interest in sprouted grains involves potential for increased amount and absorbability of dietary fi ber and some nutrients, including vitamin C and several B vitamins (including all-important folate). Grain products normally only contain small amounts of vitamin C. In sprouted grains, enzymes are activated that break down a compound in whole grains called phytic acid. Since phytic acid can tie up iron, this means that more iron from the whole grains and other plant foods eaten at the same time may be better absorbed. However, research supporting nutritional benefi ts is not as established as some head-lines may make it seem. Health benefi ts that headlines tie to sprouted grains are often referring to studies in rats and mice, or short-term studies of less than 20 people eating the sprouted grains in multiple servings every day. And some studies compare sprouted grains to refi ned grains, which could refl ect the well-established greater healthfulness of whole grains in general compared to refi ned grains (like white bread and white rice).If you want to try sprouted whole grains, they have potential to offer extra nutritional benefi ts. Nevertheless, if you are choosing whole grains and eating a wide variety of plant foods, those are the most important steps for getting bountiful nutrients and pro-tective compounds. Note: Raw, uncooked sprouts can pose food safety concerns and the Food and Drug Administration recommends children, the elderly, pregnant women and persons with weakened immune systems avoid eating raw sprouts.

Halloween Safety Tips:With many communities holding trick-or-treat nights,

PennDOT is urging motorists to slow down and watch carefully for little princesses, witches and pirates. Children are unpredictable – and even more so when they’re excited -- which means motorists need to slow down and expect the unexpected. We’re also asking parents to help by reviewing safety tips with their children and helping them to choose safe costumes. Motorists should be extremely cautious on neighborhood streets as children may dart out between parked vehicles or walk on the side of the road. In addition to motorists, parents and guardians can help increase safety and visibility of children by following a few sim-ple tips:•Buy or make brightly-colored, highly-visible costumes that do not interfere with a child’s ability to see, hear or walk;

•Consider adding strips of reflective tape to darker-colored cos-tumes or trick-or-treat bags;

•Encourage children to carry a flashlight or glow stick;

•Accompany young children while they are trick-or-treating;

•Remind children to pay attention to their surroundings and to look both ways before crossing a street; and

•Tell children to walk instead of run and to stay on sidewalks whenever possible.

Fish Platter with


(Harrisburg, PA) – This winter sea-son, more than 700 plow trucks cov-ering interstates and expressways statewide will be outfi tted with tech-nology to improve location and opera-tions information through a Pennsyl-vania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) pilot program, Governor Tom Wolf announced today.

“This system will allow PennDOT to see operations and conditions on the ground in real-time, helping them to better analyze how they do their jobs and get the best investment out of every dollar,” Governor Wolf said. “A gov-ernment that works is also a transparent one and this pilot is a perfect example of maximizing effi ciency and modern-izing operations.” The governor joined PennDOT Sec-retary Leslie S. Richards at the depart-ment’s District 8 headquarters in Har-risburg to explain how the Automated Vehicle Location (AVL) system will help improve the department’s real-time information on vehicle movement, plow-route coverage and usage of ma-terials such as salt and anti-skid. “We expect that this technology will not only help us review truck movement and material usage after a storm, but it should also help us while storms are occurring,” Richards said. “Interstates and expressways are our top priority during winter weather, and this system will help us identify and respond to re-al-time conditions even better than we do today.”

The AVL system pilot is part of Gov-ernor Wolf’s GO-TIME initiative that leverages inter-agency coordination and collaboration to maximize effi cien-cy, modernize state government opera-tions, and provide the highest quality services. The pilot, as one of seven GO-TIME projects identifi ed by PennDOT in 2016-2017, is expected to realize a cost savings of $1.4 million over the next four to six years based on a combi-nation of reduced salt usage and better use of department equipment, Richards said. In total, 516 PennDOT plow trucks and 212 contracted rental trucks servic-ing interstates and expressways across the state will have AVL installed. Statewide, PennDOT has 2,200 total department-force trucks and also rents approximately 270 trucks and their op-erators to maintain the more than 40,000 miles of roadway for which PennDOT is responsible. PennDOT plans to make the system’s real-time location data available to the public later this year through its traveler information website, www.511PA.com.

Sleepless in School -by Alan Shusterman Federal offi cials just confi rmed what millions of groggy teenagers have long known. School starts too darn early. That’s the conclusion of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Four in fi ve schools ring the bell before 8:30 a.m. These early start times don’t just cut into teenagers’ sleep. They hamper academic performance, exacerbate mental health problems, and even restrict social mobil-ity. That’s a steep price to pay just to get kids out of bed in the morning. There’s a reason we like to sleep -- it’s good for us. According to a study from the University of Rochester, the human brain naturally produces toxic proteins during the day. The brain can clear these toxins away -- but only during sleep. When a per-son doesn’t get enough, those toxins can interfere with his or her ability to focus. That’s in part why the American Acad-emy of Pediatrics recommends teenagers

sleep between 8.5 and 9.5 hours per night. Unfortunately, most students don’t grab that much shuteye. Six in 10 middle school students and nine in 10 high school-ers don’t get the recommended amount of sleep. Going to bed earlier would seem to solve that problem. But teenagers aren’t just rebellious in insisting on late bed-times. They’re biologically wired to be night owls. In puberty, students’ natural sleep cycles make them more inclined to fall asleep after 11 p.m. Combine that with early start times, and students show up to fi rst period with dark circles under their eyes. Their learn-ing suffers as a result. Consider a study of more than 6,000 freshmen at the Air Force Academy be-tween 2004 and 2008. Researchers com-pared the academic performance of stu-dents assigned class times ranging from 7 a.m. to 8:50 a.m. They discovered that students begin-ning their school day at 7 a.m. “perform signifi cantly worse in all their courses tak-en on that day compared to students who are not assigned to a fi rst period course.” This negative effect went away with later start times. Starting the school day later could also help improve student performance in the critical subjects of science, technology, engineering, and math. A 2012 study dis-covered that starting school an hour later yielded an increase of as much as 3 per-centage points in standardized math test scores. Lack of sleep also piles on to the al-ready signifi cant amounts of stress bur-dening most students. Eight in 10 kids report experiencing moderate to extreme stress. Depression and anxiety rates have jumped over the past few years. Teen suicides have tripled since the 1960s. As sleep deprivation becomes the norm rather than the exception among teenag-ers, these numbers will only worsen. Stud-ies have shown that sleep deprivation el-evates stress, anxiety, and anger. What’s more, lack of sleep increases the risk of major depression and suicide. Early school starting times also threat-en to exacerbate America’s growing so-cioeconomic gap. Disadvantaged kids see twice as much of an improvement in academic perfor-mance over better-off students from later start times. The research is clear. Helping students get more sleep is a simple, effective, and scientifi cally proven way to help reform our education system. Now, it’s time for schools to act -- and, once and for all, put this issue to bed. Alan Shusterman is the Founder and Head of School for Tomorrow.

Halloween Safety Tips:With many communities holding trick-or-treat nights,

PennDOT is urging motorists to slow down and watch carefully for little princesses, witches and pirates. Children are unpredictable – and even more so when they’re excited -- which means motorists need to slow down and expect the unexpected. We’re also asking parents to help by reviewing safety tips with their children and helping them to choose safe costumes. Motorists should be extremely cautious on neighborhood streets as children may dart out between parked vehicles or walk on the side of the road. In addition to motorists, parents and guardians can help increase safety and visibility of children by following a few sim-ple tips:•Buy or make brightly-colored, highly-visible costumes that do not interfere with a child’s ability to see, hear or walk;

•Consider adding strips of reflective tape to darker-colored cos-tumes or trick-or-treat bags;

•Encourage children to carry a flashlight or glow stick;

•Accompany young children while they are trick-or-treating;

•Remind children to pay attention to their surroundings and to look both ways before crossing a street; and

•Tell children to walk instead of run and to stay on sidewalks whenever possible.

FAMILY FEATURES

With flu season approaching, parents may bebracing for an outbreak at their children’sschools, but adults are also highly suscep -

tible at work and in other public places. Now is thetime for families and businesses to take steps toprevent and protect against the flu.

With workers missing as much as a week afterfalling ill with the flu, the U.S. Department of Healthand Human Services attributes as much as $7 billionin losses for U.S. businesses each year as a result ofworkers’ sick days and lost productivity. Combinethat with lost wages, missed school and sportingevents, and the overall hit to your personal health,and the toll is higher yet.

The Centers for Disease Control and Preventionestimates between 3,000 and 49,000 deaths and morethan 200,000 hospitalizations each year dependingupon the severity of the flu season. People at highrisk for developing flu-related complications includechildren under 5, adults 65 or older, pregnant women,residents of nursing homes and other long-term carecenters, and people who have medical conditionssuch as asthma, chronic lung disease, heart diseaseand blood disorders.

“Influenza is a serious viral infection, and the toll on public health each year related to influenza is significant,” said Dr. John Hanlin, vice presidentof public health and food safety at Ecolab.“Fortunately, there are a number of importantmeasures that you, your family and your businesscolleagues can take to reduce the risk of influenza.”

Getting a flu vaccine and taking anti-viral medica -tions as prescribed if you do contract the flu are twoways the CDC advocates stopping the spread of flugerms. Another vital factor in protecting yourselffrom the flu is preventing its spread.

The flu is a respiratory infection accompanied by fever and often respiratory complications that istransmitted from person to person, either throughpersonal contact, or through contact with a contami -nated surface. Individuals who have contracted the virus are contagious at least one day prior todisplaying symptoms, and up to seven days afterthey first appear.

In addition, the flu virus can survive up to 48 hours on stainless steel and plastic surfaces, and up to 12 hours on cloth, paper and tissues. Properlyclean ing and disinfecting can minimize the chancesof individuals contracting the virus from a contami -nated surface.

Prevent contaminationTo properly clean, disinfect and protect your environ -ment, know that you should:

� Clean any visible soil from surfaces before dis -infect ing. When cleaning and disinfecting, workfrom top to bottom and from cleaner to moreheavily soiled surfaces.

� Thoroughly wet the surface with a U.S. EPAregistered disinfectant and follow label instruc -tions. Choose disin fectants effective against the flu virus, such as Ecolab’s line of disinfectant

1.Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

2.Stay home when you are sick.

3.Cover your mouth and nose when sneezing

or coughing.

4.Wash hands frequently with soap and water

or use an alcohol-based, waterless hand

sanitizer frequently.

5.Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.

6.Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces.

products, which are available for institutional andindustrial use.

� Disinfect frequently touched hard surfaces often,including tables, chairs, light switches, doorhandles and restroom facilities.

� Give special attention to frequently touched sur facesin food preparation areas, as well as the restroom,including light and air control switches, faucets,toilet flush levers, door knobs and handrails.

� Avoid touching public items that sustain heavyuse, such as elevator buttons and push plates ondoors, with your hands.

Proper hand hygieneHand-washing is also essential to preventing aninfluenza contamination. Proper hand-washing helps remove most bacteria, viruses and otherpathogens, so they can’t be spread to others. TheCDC recommends these steps:

� Wet hands with clean, running water (warm orcold), turn off the tap and apply soap.

� Rub hands together to lather the soap. Clean thebacks of hands, between fingers and under nails.

� Scrub for at least 20 seconds.

� Rinse well under clean, running water.

� Dry with a clean towel or air dry.

� Before using hand sanitizer, remove any dirt from hands with soap and water. Apply product to palm and rub hands together until it disappears(15-20 seconds).

Education is the first step in promoting effectivehand hygiene. But the real challenge is motivatingothers to wash frequently and follow protocols dayin and day out.

� Use soaps that are gentle on hands. Formulationsthat irritate skin may dissuade even the mostdedicated hand-washer.

� Be a role model and wash your hands followingthe same high standard you set for your family and coworkers.

� Continuously reinforce that protection starts with prevention, and hand-washing is critical toprevention.

Extra care in the kitchenBecause flu and cold viruses can spread easily tofoods and beverages, it’s especially important topromote hand-washing in the kitchen. The Food andDrug Administration suggests:

� Plan food preparation activities to reduce thenumber of times hands need to be washed.

� Use soap and water, which is more effective in removing foodborne pathogens than handsanitizers.
