Beyond flowers and chocolate

By Nikki AckermanStaff Writer

While traditionally a holiday forsweethearts, Valentines Day is,above all else, a day of love, and lovecomes in other forms besides ro-mantic.

With a quiet lull between Christ-mas and Easter, Feb. 14 may just bethe perfect excuse to start some newfamily traditions.

Kids love traditions and familyrituals, because it fosters a sense ofbelonging and security, says momblogger Tsh Oxenreider. They alsothrive on routine, so rituals only addto that need.

For those looking for a non-cliched way to celebrate ValentinesDay while including the wholefamily here are some fun andunique ways to acknowledge Cupid.

Have a Holiday Breakfast: Ac-cording to author Gretchen Rubin, aholiday breakfast is a low-pressureway to mark an occasion.

In her book Happier at HomRubin writes how she was delightehappen upon a Valentines Day breakat a friends house one morning. was) nothing too elaborate, but vdecorated and fun heart-shaped plmats, some candy, sticky-pads in shape of hearts, love notes, etc., shecalled.

A simple menu option is heart-shapancakes. To make them a bit more tive, top with strawberries and whipcream and use red or pink food color

24 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

There comes a time every year usually when the colorful fanfare ofthe holidays has given way to silenceand slush when the days and weeksseem an endless stretch of 20-degree

boredom.But with a go-to list of time-fillers,both outdoor and indoor options, kidscan stay occupied, parents can remainsane and families can enjoy a winterto remember.

Outdoor activities:

Get on the hill: In a state likeWisconsin, the winter months meanactivities like skiing, snowboardingand tubing.

Roberto Guercini, marketing di-rector with Sunburst Ski Area in Ke-

waskum, said families are their mainclientele, and many specials (freetubing for season pass holders on Tuesdays, Wednesdays andThursdays, for example) are offered based on that.

We are very family-oriented, Guercini said. We get a lot offamilies who come back year after year; in fact, most of our cus-tomers are families. Sometimes they do the same thing or theyeach have their own activity.

Take advantage of the county park system: With 1,300 acresof park land in the county which include several lighted sledhills and warming rooms families have plenty of room to frolic.

While sledding is the most popular winter activity, there arealso the options of ice fishing and ice skating when conditionspermit, and there are trails for all-terrain vehicles and snowmo-

biles as well.We offer a lot of recreational possibilities, said county Parks

& Golf Director Mike Kactro. We have a significant selection ofparks throughout the county, which gives everyone access.

Build a snowman, or, better yet, try snow painting: Thesnowman is an obvious choice and kids love to build them, how-ever, another option is creating snow sculptures and paintingthem with spray bottles filled with water and food coloring.

Take a winter walk: Whether through a nearby woods,around the neighborhood or at a local nature center, a winter

wonderland hike can be a funventure for the whole family.

Lac Lawrann, a 137-acre convancy located off of 300 SchmRoad in West Bend, hosts an anWinter Walk, free to the pubThis years walk is set for Febat 1 p.m., said volunteer Kate

terman, who served as a naturwith the conservancy for 11 yeaWe just go exploring and

look at different animal tracks, we discuss things like hibernatishe said. Its a lot of fun angood way to spend time outsThe trail we choose is basedwhat will highlight the best featthat day.

Try snowshoeing: For thoseluctant to tackle the activity on town, nature areas like Lac Lawrand the Riveredge Nature Cente

Newburg rent out snowshoes topublic. Its great exercise,

Peterman. (One should check the respective web sites for trand snowshoe availability.)

Indoor activities:

Make a craft: Let the kids get messy by painting a muraa strip of paper on the basement floor; making a bird fee(spread peanut butter on a pinecone and cover it with bird seor creating a rainstick from cardboard rolls filled with seedrice.

Visit the library: Just about every library offers a wide vety of events and programs book clubs, storytimes, movie d for adults and children alike, and the best part is they are

most always free.We try to offer a lot of family friendly programs progr

that parents are encouraged to participate with their childrsaid Patty Peters, childrens librarian at Slinger Communitybrary,

And when a snowstorm is about to hit, the library is a greatto place for boredom-busting options.

weather, we see people coming in to stock up on movies, music,magazines and, of course, books, said Peters.

Have a movie/game day: Pick a theme winter is an obvi-ous one and go with it for a day, or even just an afternoon.Happy Feet, Ice Age and Polar Express are a few goodstarter flicks. Or bust out the classic board games and have afriendly family competition.

Tour the city: Winter is the ideal time to visit the often-over-looked treasures in your own area, such as the art museum, thepublic museum, or even the zoo, which remains open year round.

Attend a community event: Often area groups and organiza-tions will plan special events at this time of year, mainly because

theres just not a lot happening in the dead of winter.One upcoming event is the annual Celebrate Families wh

includes a resource fair, local entertainment, refreshments childrens activities set for Feb. 10 at the Washington CouFair Park.

Its an indoor activity during a time of year when theresa lot to do, said Carol Bralich, family living educator with UExtension of Washington County. Its a great way for familie

spend time together and its something fun to do in winter.

A stand-out athlete in three sports crosscountry, track and field and gymnastics witha 4.0 grade point average, West Bend WestHigh School senior Kayla Janto is the kind of

teen who makes her whole community proud.Youre not going to find a more well-rounded kid, said Principal Jim Curler.Kayla is such a unique person and she ex-cels at everything she does athletically andacademically. She is truly an impressiveyoung lady.

The 17-year-old lifelong West Bend resi-dent (she lives with her parents, Boyd and Diana, 15-year-old sister Abbyand 13-year-old brother Peyton) is a captain for each of her three athleticteams.

As a sophomore, Janto became the first West athlete to participate in ateam or individual state competition in three different varsity sports in thesame school year, repeating the same her junior year and leaving hermark in each sport.

Not only has she been part of a team in Wisconsin Little Ten (WLT)Conference Championship at West in three different sports, it is believedshe is the first West Bend athlete to ever accomplish this.

In her 10th year of competitive gymnastics, Janto is a three-time All-WLT Gymnast and the 2012 Conference Gymnast of the Year.

I compete in the All-Around competition which is all four events, shesaid. My favorite event is balance beam.

Involved in track and field since middle school, Janto runs short dis-tances (800, 400 and 200 meters) and participates in the long jump. Sinceher sophomore year, Janto has been a member of the Spartan LeadershipCouncil for the high schools track team. She qualified for the state trackmeet in four different events in 2012 and last spring at the state meet inLaCrosse she ran on the record-setting 4x400-meter relay team that ranthe second fastest time in Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association(WIAA) state history.

My favorite part of track is being part of relay teams, she noted. Theyare so much fun. I love doing (the shorter distances) because it is so muchdifferent than the long distances I run in cross country.

While Janto enjoys each of her three sports, it is cross country that holdsa special place in her heart. With her father also acting as West Bend Westscross country coach, Janto shares a family passion for the sport.

Janto explained that she got involved in cross country mostly from en-couragement from my parents who were both collegiate runners for UW-Whitewater.

Cross country is a special sport for me because my whole family is in-volved, she said, noting that in addition to her dad coaching, her freshmansister was part of this years varsity team and her brother competes at themiddle school level.

And my mom is our cheerleader! she added. It's something we alllove to do together.

After qualifying for the state cross country meet with her team this fall,

Janto has now been part of seven consecutive seasons of state competitionfor the sport.

Earning three-time All-Conference honors in cross country (1st Team2012) and becoming team captain her junior year, Janto takes the sportvery seriously.

It takes a lot of hard work and dedication in the summer, she said.My teammates and I train every day (sometimes twice a day), and wealso attend camps in preparation for the fall season.

Janto said her extensive athletic participation makes her a better studentacademically (My favorite subjects in school are the sciences. I especiallyenjoy psychology this year, she said), and for the West National Honor So-ciety, Janto participates in various community volunteer services.

Also, through her church, St. Frances Cabrini, the teen recently trav-eled to Kentucky as part of the Appalachian Service Project.

We helped in the construction and repair of the houses of those in

need, she said.After high school, Janto plans to attend a private four-year universi

study pre-medicine with an emphasis in biology, and ultimately go obecome a physician assistant.

She also plans to keep cross country and track as key components odaily life.

I aim to continue running beyond high school and college to

healthy and fit, she said, adding, I hope to run a marathon in the futuFor all her achievements, Janto is quick to note that many of her cesses would not have been possible without her teammates and a lhard work.

I'd say my greatest attribute is my level of dedication to all that I she said. I realize that commitment is key to success in anything, so I icate a lot of time, effort, and hard work to both my athletic activities asas my academic studies.

(Family Features) School can bestressful for many kids, especially ifthey have been the victims of bullying.According to Youth Ambassadors 4Kids Club, an organization dedicated toeliminating bullying, a student is bulliedevery seven minutes in our country, andan estimated 77 percent of students will

experience some form of mental orphysical bullying during their schoolyears.

While the statistics are worrisome,there are measures parents and care-givers can take to help identify the signsof bullying and the anxiety it can induceso they can help their children managethrough this difficult situation.

Recognizing BullyingBullying can take many forms, in-

cluding hitting, threatening, intimidat-ing, maliciously teasing and taunting,name calling, making sexual remarks,stealing or damaging personal belong-ings, and indirect attacks such as spreading rumors or getting oth-ers to exclude another student.

Its also no longer limited to the classroom, lunchroom orplayground. Today, cyberbullying bullying through electronicoutlets such as text messages and social media sites has madethis issue a 24/7 challenge.

Bullying can have a significant impact on students, said Uni-versity of Phoenix College of Social Sciences instructor and ex-pert on bullying Dr. John Nixon. Children and teenagers whoare bullied suffer from anxiety, fear, withdrawal, low self-esteemand poor concentration. Recognizing the warning signs is the firststep toward ending the behavior.

Signs that your child may be a victim of bullying include: Coming home with damaged or missing clothing or belong-

ings. Unexplained injuries. Frequent complaints of headaches, stomach aches or feeling

sick. Changes in eating habits. Loss of interest in friends or going to school. Mood and behavior changes. Trouble sleeping and/or having frequent bad dreams.

Feelings of helplessness or not begood enough.

What You Can Do if YourChild is Bullied

Establishing a process for detectdiscussing and monitoring bullying help in more effectively reaching a s

tion. It can be embarrassing for a cto admit that they are being bullied, Nixon. And many kids dont tell parabout it because they are afraid of eibeing blamed for the situation, or theyafraid of how the parents will react.

Nixon offers some tips for what can do:

Increase awareness Parents meducate themselves on the signs of buing and realize that they are not alone

Communicate Ask children qtions about how they slept or what tare looking forward to doing in schthat day. Their responses can provid

wealth of insight. Gather more information Ask teachers if they have

ticed anything that would signal the child had been bullied. Acheck a childs text messages and Facebook profile for signcyberbullying.

Develop an action plan Put steps in place to monitorsigns of bullying to see if it persists and engage your child relarly to open up communication about the problem.

Follow through Its important to keep at it. Be activboth spot the signs of bullying and discuss them with the chilwork toward a solution. If bullying persists, take action. Discthe problem with the parents of the child who is bullying, if appropriate. Talk with your childs teacher. If the teacher is nosponsive, escalate the discussion up to the principal or supetendent if necessary.

There are more participants in bullying scenarios than justbully and the victim. More often than not, said Nixon, thare bystanders. These are students who know what is goingand either encourage it in some way, or sit back and do nothWe need more kids to stop being bystanders and take a stagainst bullying.

You can find more resources for helping students deal wbullying at www.a4kclub.org, and www.stopbullying.gov.

treats are virtually endless. Visit someone who needs company: Pay a visit to someone

who could use a little cheering, such as a resident at a hospitalor nursing home, perhaps, or an ailing parent or grandparent.

Tracey MacGregor, director of marketing at Cedar Commu-nity in West Bend, said that while the senior living facility in-cludes many long-married couples, often they dont have anyformal plans for the special day.

Last year an appreciation dinner we held landed on Valen-tines Day and we thought the turn-out would be low, but it waseven bigger than usual, she said. A lot of the residents saidthey had nothing to do for Valentines Day.

Enjoy a winter activity: The kids, of course, will be thrilledto go sledding or ice skating and a whimsical activity is alsoa great way to reignite the early dating spark between Mom andDad. Acting like kids again is a great way to ditch your wor-ries, reconnect and really have a memorable afternoon to-gether, blogger Jessica Padykula writes on sheknows.com.

Plan a movie night: While the selection of Valentines Day-themed movies dont exactly compare to the Decembermarathons of A Christmas Story and Its a Wonderful Life,

there are some classics the Charlie Brown special is a goodplace to start that can be enjoyed. Make some hot cocoa andpopcorn and enjoy a family movie day.

Go on a father/daughter date: This concept can be altered,of course, for mothers and sons, or whatever configuration onesees fit. The point is to recognize special bonds between fam-ily members. While there doesnt have to be a formal event,some organizations the Sun Lakes Service Area Girl Scoutsand Milwaukee Recreation, to note two area groups deliber-ately plan around the theme, as both are hosting father/daugh-ter dances Feb. 16. This is a great way for girls to have aspecial night with someone who is very special to them, saidlocal Girl Scout leader Lisa Mazurkiewicz. Weve always donethe event, but this year we decided to make it Valentine-

themed. Check local listings for similar events, or plan yourown.

Create coupons and/or notes of appreciation: Show yourlove in a creative way by getting out the construction paper andcrayons and making some no-expiration-date coupons forfamily members. The coupons can promise help with an un-pleasant chore or simply offer a hug. Or, to put a different spinon the concept, each family member can write some of their fa-vorite and most appreciated things about each other on a note-card and present them to one another.

Fun surprises: Sneak a sweet note into your mate and chil-drens lunch boxes, write a message on the mirror, tie balloonsto their chairs. Show your love in fun and unexpected ways.

Send out old-fashioned Valentines: Make a list of the peo-

ple you may forget to show your appreciation toward through-out the year the mailman, your childs bus driver, a favoritepastor at church and write out a friendly Valentine for them.

According to Rubin, even simple traditions add great joy tothe noteworthy days on the calendar.

Traditions make occasions feel special and exciting. Theymark the passage of time in a happy way, she said. I knowthat I enjoy a holiday more when I know exactly what weregoing to do, and when were going to do it.

The Go Red for Women movement a collective of time, en-ergy, compassion and money of 25 million people nationwide has saved the lives of more than 627,000 women who have foughtheart disease in the last 10 years.

Although these numbers are promising, the fight is not over.Heart disease is the top killer of women and affects them more thanmen. Heart disease is more deadly for women than all forms of can-cer combined, according to the American Heart Association.

In recognition of the 10th National Wear Red Day on Feb.1, theAmerican Heart Associations Go Red For Women movement asks

that Women Go Red in new and bold ways to raise awareness forheart disease across the country.In the past, we have proudly worn red, noted Go Red For

Women campaign literature. But this February, let's do more thanthat. Let's make sure that every landmark, every Main Street, everyorganization and every home in America goes red. Let's turn Amer-ica red to shine a spotlight on heart disease in women. It's time toshout louder, stand stronger and demand change. It's time to cometogether in a movement that is not just for women, but by women.It's time for women to Go Red.

Go Red For Women was created by women, for women, becour health is non-negotiable, because we have the power to savelives, and because the best force for women is women, accordto information on the movements website.

For a decade, women have been fighting heart disease indivally and together as part of the Go Red For Women movement. Thave worn red, shared stories of survival and begun to learn awomens hearts and how heart disease can be prevented.

The movement recently selected from a nationwide search 1males to represent the organizations 2013 Go Red Women, this group of survivors includes Kimberly Montgomery of Milwkee.

Montgomery had a heart attack two years ago at the young ag49. After rehabilitation, she contacted the American Heart Assotion to volunteer so she could inform others about the signs symptoms of heart disease. She pointed out that she was unawarthe symptoms at the time of her attack.

The Associations local chapter later asked her to participatenational casting call for the 2013 Go Red Women. She gave tmony on how a heart attack affected her, and advanced fromstate trial to a national event where she was selected to be one o2013 Go Red Women.

I want to inform women on what the signs and symptoms

for a heart attack, Montgomery said. Women must be awarthem and should not ignore them. I wish I had been more in-tand informed of heart attacks in women.

Montgomery recently appeared on the Dr. Oz show set for tapings. During her first appearance she was one of 200 heart dissurvivors in the audience during a show focused on the recent hattack of TV personality Rosie ODonnell. This show has aired,the second taping is set to air sometime in February during Amcan Heart Month. In this much anticipated episode, ODonnell ginto the audience to speak to a few of the women, including Mgomery. On national TV, Montgomerys story will be told asstands beside ODonnell.

Montgomery has been the featured speaker at heart awarenseminars, and she also conducts media interviews and has sevupcoming speaking engagements at heart health events.

Women of all ages and nationalities: You need to educate yself. Know your signs and symptoms and do not ignore them, phasized Montgomery. Inform yourself and advocate for yours

Montgomery pointed out that many people including herat one time have the perception that heart disease is a conceronly elderly white men. When she became ill one afternoon afhot yoga class, she came up with many explanations for her naand profuse sweating, and a heart attack was not one of themstead, she was sure she simply hadnt cooled down from class,also considered that it could be food poisoning from the restau

opening she had attended the night be-fore. The onset of menopause evencrossed her mind. No matter thecause, Montgomery was sure it wasnothing critical.

When her symptoms persisted, afriend convinced her to walk to a

nearby urgent care clinic. Shewas transported by ambulanceto a nearby hospital, where shehad a heart catheterization pro-cedure. Like many women,Montgomery was completelyunaware that nausea and sweat-ing are two major symptoms ofa heart attack. At the hospital,she learned she had one arterywith a 75 percent blockage andanother with an 80 percent

blockage, and she received two stints.Montgomery noted that genetics and diet are the two key con-

tributors to heart disease. Her grandfather died of heart disease yearsago, but he was 80 years old at the time. Her mother had been diag-nosed with atrial fibrillation a few years earlier, but no one in herfamily had experienced a heart attack at such a young age. Theywere all athletes, running track in high school and continuing to ex-ercise into their adult years. Montgomery did not connect the dotsof her familys history of heart disease until after she had her heartattack. She also saw her doctor regularly and had great results at hercompany wellness screenings each year.

Now fully recovered, Montgomery does cardio every single dayand has adjusted her diet to be low in cholesterol and sodium. Shesalso working hard to pass these healthy habits onto her 22-year-oldson and everyone around her.

We need to wake up, we need to know our genetics, and our eat-ing habits need to change. It is a big issue, Montgomery stated.

Staggering Statistics

According to information from Go Red for Women movement: Heart disease causes one in three womens deaths each year,killing approximately one woman every minute. An estimated 43 million women in the U.S. are affected by heartdisease.

Ninety percent of women have one or more risk factors forveloping heart disease. Since 1984, more women than men have died each year fheart disease and the gap between men and womens survcontinues to widen. While one in 31 American women dies from breast cancer eyear, heart disease causes one in three deaths each year. Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women, yet only one in

American women believe that heart disease is her greatest hethreat. Women comprise only 24 percent of participants in heartlated studies. Women are less likely to call 9-1-1 for themselves than theyfor someone else when experiencing symptoms of a heart att

Women who Go Red are more likely to make healthy choice Nearly 90 percent have made at least one healthy behachange. More than one-third have lost weight. More than 50 percent have increased their exercise. Six out of 10 have changed their diets. More than 40 percent have checked their cholesterol levels One-third have talked with their doctors about developing h

health plans.

The American Heart Association's Go Red For Women moment advocates for more research and swifter action for womheart health. The movement is nationally sponsored by Macy'sMerck & Co., Inc., with additional support from their cause sporters.

Take Oral Health to HeartThe following is provided courtesy of the office of Deborah Archilletti, D.D.S., S.C.

Periodontal disease is an infection caused by bacteria in your mouth.It is more commonly known as gum disease. Coronary artery disease isa condition caused by a thickening of the coronary arteries when fatty

proteins clot together and obstruct blood flow. This can lead to a heartattack or stroke. Periodontal disease and coronary artery disease mayseem perfectly unrelated, but there may be a solid link between the two.

Scientists have found that the bacteria responsible for periodontaldisease may enter the bloodstream in the deep pockets formed whenthe gums separate from the teeth. These bacteria can end up clotting ar-teries by attaching themselves to fatty plaques already in the blood-stream. This process may contribute to arteries clotting faster, creatingblockages. Evidence suggests that clearing up periodontal disease couldget rid of a potential risk factor for heart disease.

Preventative oral care can keep the bad bacteria in your mouth fromgetting out of control. Brushing and flossing regularly will help, butseeing your dentist two times a year for a professional diagnosis andmaintenance plan is necessary for good oral and overall health. It couldsave your life and result in fewer fillings, healthier gums and a morebeautiful smile. Make an appointment with a dental professional today.

Your Smile May Speak Volumes

About Your Heart . . .Did You Know?Studies have shown that periodontal (gum) dis-

ease may increase your risk for heart disease and

stroke. The problem starts with too much plaque

build-up along the gumline resulting in possible

bacteria infections. Some signs and symptoms to

look for are: persistent bad breath, gums that are red, swollen and tende

gums that bleed when brushed or flossed. Your dentist may be the first o

to suspect heart problems so dont wait, call to make an appointment tod

Keeping Fit and Having Fun While Aging(Family Features) Regular

physical activity at any age canhelp you live longer, feel better andreduce health problems. But fartoo many people, including babyboomers, dont get the exercisethey need. According to the 2012Participation Report from the

Physical Activity Council (PAC),35 percent of Americans over theage of 55 are physically inactive.Since regular exercise helps con-trol blood pressure, body weight,cholesterol and so much more,boomers need to find ways to gettheir bodies moving so they canlive longer, healthier lives.

Though any amount of exercise is beneficial, ultimatelyadults should work up to getting at least 30 minutes most days ofthe week, as long as they feel comfortable and pain-free, saidworld-renowned nutritionist Joy Bauer. From taking a Zumbaclass to walking and stretching, getting regular physical activityhelps the joints stay loose, maintains muscle mass, and gets theblood flowing all of which make everyday tasks easier.

The American Council on Exercise recommends older Amer-icans choose exercise programs that include cardiovascular, mus-cle conditioning and flexibility exercises. Low-impact,non-jarring exercises such as walking and swimming are goodoptions. A key to sticking with a fitness program is making sureits enjoyable.

A fun new program for older adults is Zumba Gold, a low-im-pact dance-based workout designed specifically for boomers andseniors. Workout routines combine salsa, merengue, flamencoand cumbia moves with fun music. For those that would prefer towork out in the comfort of their own home, there is also a Zumba

Gold Live it Up DVD collection that offers 3 discs with work-outs, as well as advice from experts in the fields of nutrition, brainhealth, enhancing your well-being and more.

The program was created by 71-year-old Joy Prouty, a veteranin the fitness industry and a former Rockette. From cardio totoning, this collection brings together some of Zumbas mostpopular offerings in a format enabling older adults to rediscoverthe energy of their youth, said Prouty.

Workout Safety TipsWhenever beginning a new fitness activity or program, make

sure you do it safely. Wear comfortable shoes tha

well. Stay hydrated with plenty of flu Listen to your body. If it hurts

feels like too much, stop.You also need to be aware of dan

signs while exercising. Stop the acti

and call your doctor or 911 if youperience pain or pressure in your charms, neck or jaw; feel lightheadnauseated or weak; become shorbreath; develop pain in your lcalves or back; or feel like your his beating too fast or skipping beat

Its important to see your doctorfore beginning any workout routine to receive a thorough diovascular evaluation, said Bauer. Once youve been cleaby your doctor, I recommend starting out slowly.

Pick an Activity that You Will EnjoyThe best way to find a regimen that will stick is to cho

something that you enjoy. Youll be more likely to stick wiand reap all the benefits the physical activity has to offer.

Bauer adds that a program like Zumba Gold is great becaif you enjoy dancing, it wont feel like exercise and it can alsa social outlet: Combining physical activity with social tima total win-win.

(Family Features) Pet owners want the very best for their animals, butit can be hard to choose the right food. With hundreds of pet food prod-ucts available, how do you decide whats best for your pet? Its smart tostart with the label but labels can be confusing if you dont know whatto look for. Heres what you need to know.

Pet Food Names

So whats in a product name? More than you might think. Accordingto the manual produced by The Association of American Feed ControlOfficials (AAFCO), if a pet food name says:

Chicken, beef, seafood, lamb it must contain 95 percent of that in-gredient.

Acombination of ingredients (Chicken and Liver) the two namedingredients together must make up 95 percent of the total weight. The firstingredient should be the predominant one. This only applies to animal-based ingredients.

Dinner, entre, platter, formula, etc. (Beef Dinner; Seafood Platter) it must contain 25 percent of the listed ingredient. If more than one in-gredient is included in the name, the combination of ingredients must total25 percent of the product.

With (Lamb with Rice) it must contain 3 percent of the primary

ingredient. Flavor (Chicken Flavored) no minimum requirements, but the petshould be able to detect the taste.

Ingredient ListThe primary goal of pet food is to deliver key nutrients to your pet.

The higher the ingredient quality is, the easier it is for your pet to absorband use the nutrients they contain. Heres a closer look at pet food ingre-dients, the primary nutrients they deliver and the health benefits they offerto pets.

Fresh meat, chicken, poultry by-product meal, meat by-products,soybean meal and egg High quality protein for muscle tone and de-velopment and healthy skin.

Animal fat, fish oil and vegetable oil Fats and essential fatty acidsfor energy, improved taste and healthy skin and coat.

Corn, rice, barley, sorghum Carbohydrates for energy and othernutrients for healthy skin and coat. Cellulose, soybean mill run and beet pulp Fiber sources that pro-

mote intestinal tract health; some are helpful in weight control.Chemical names in the ingredient list are most often vitamins or min-

erals added for complete nutrition.What about by-products? Aby-product is a secondary food item that

is made from a primary ingredient production stream. A by-product likechicken by-product meal can contain organ meat that has a high nutri-tional value. In fact, its a more concentrated protein source than rawchicken alone and contains high quality, highly digestible protein.

Not all by-products are created equal. For example, a high-qualityfood often recommended by veterinarians, such as Hills (makers of ence Diet and Prescription Diet), only accept high quality by-producgredients. However, bargain brands may use inferior ingredients include feathers or other lower-nutritional parts of the animal.

Guaranteed Analyses

By law, pet food packaging must show the minimum percentagecrude protein and fat, as well as the maximum percentages of crude fand moisture in the product. This is not an indication of the actual nent content or a guarantee of nutritional quality.

The minimum amount guarantee shows the lowest amount of nent in the food. For example, a product may have a minimum fat guatee of 8 percent, but actually contain 15 percent of fat.

The maximum amount guarantee may be 5 percent fiber, butproduct may only have 1 percent fiber.

Remember, if the actual nutritional content is not clear on the pacing, you can always contact the manufacturer directly via their producformation toll-free number on the package.

Nutritional Adequacy Statement

The Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO)the nutritional guidelines for pet foods sold in the United States. Thetritional adequacy is determined by one of two methods formulaand feeding trials.

Feeding trial method This requires the manufacturer to utilizAAFCO-protocol feeding trial using the food as the sole source of ntion. The petsperformance is documented when fed the food. Asamlabel statement might read, Animal feeding tests using AAFCO prdures indicate this food provides complete and balanced nutritionmaintenance of adult dogs.

Formulation method This requires the manufacturer to formuthe food to meet AAFCO nutrient profiles for dogs and cats. Becausea calculation of nutrient levels, and AAFCO feeding trials with pets arrequired, this is a faster, less-expensive method. Astatement on a prousing this method might read, Formulated to meet the nutritional le

established by AAFCO Cat Food Profiles for maintenance of adult c

Ages and StagesThe AAFCO guidelines only govern food for three pet life sta

growth and reproduction, maintenance, and all life stages. Foods forlated for all life stages must meet the most nutritionally demandingstage growth and reproduction. So while getting an all life stages fto feed several pets of different ages might sound good, in reality,food is designed for pets under a year old, or for nursing animals may not be a good choice for the nutritional needs of pets in otherstages.

(NAPS)When the weather outside is frightful, a little ad-vance preparation will take the scare out.

What To DoA few preventive vehicle maintenance steps can help keep you

from being stranded in severe weather: Check the battery and charging system for optimum per-

formance. Cold weather is hard on batteries. Clean, flush and put new antifreeze in the cooling system.As a general rule of thumb, this should be done every two years.

Make sure heaters, defrosters and wipers work properly.Consider winter wiper blades and use cold-weather washer fluid.Typically, wiper blades should be replaced every six months.

If youre due for a tune-up, have it done soon. Cold weathermagnifies existing problems such as pings, hard starts, sluggishperformance and rough idling.

Check the tire tread depth and tire pressure. If youll be driv-ing in snow and ice, consider special tires designed to grip slickroads. During cold weather, check tire pressure weekly.

Check the brakes. The braking system is the vehicles mostimportant safety component.

Inspect the exhaust system for carbon monoxide leaks, whichcan be especially dangerous if youll be driving with the win-dows closed.

Check to see that exterior and interior lights work and head-lights are properly aimed.

Be diligent about changing the oil at recommended intervalsas dirty oil can spell trouble. Consider changing to winterweight oil. Check the fuel, air and transmission filters at thesame time.

Keep the gas tank at least half full at all times to decreasethe chances of moisture forming in the gas lines and possiblyfreezing.

Check the tire pressure of the spare in the trunk. Stock an emergency kit with an ice scraper and snow brush,

jumper cables, flashlight, flares, blanket, extra clothes, candles,matches, bottled water, dry food snacks and needed medication.

Thats the advice from the experts at the Car Care Council, thesource of information for the Be Car Care Aware consumer ed-ucation campaign promoting the benefits of regular vehicle care,maintenance and repair to consumers.

(NAPS)For many, cold weather can mean dry, irritated sIn fact, its estimated that almost 20 percent of people in the Usuffer from severely dry skin or eczemaa general term refers to skin that is inflamed, swollen and irritated. Red, itcirritated skin that doesnt properly retain moisture is a commsymptom of eczema. Fortunately, there are ways to help preveczema and treat it when it flares up.

Treat It Gently Its important to keep skin hydrated, ecially when the temperatures cool down, and one of the easways is to choose a rich yet gentle body moisturizer.

Look for products containing urea and lactic acid, as welceramides or shea butter, says Dr. Joshua Zeichner, DirectoCosmetic & Clinical Research in the Dermatology DepartmeMt. Sinai Medical Center in NYC. Expensive does not alwmean better, and you can find an effective moisturizer in ylocal drugstore.

For example, Cetaphil Restoraderm Skin Restoring Moisizer is clinically proven to provide long-lasting hydration by hing repair the skins natural barrier function.

Help Your Hands (And Feet) Frequent hand washing

use of antibacterial gels during flu season may prevent a coldcan cause dryness and irritation to skin, so try to moisturize etime after you wash.

Cool It With Hot Water Nothing feels better than aperhot shower on a cold day, but it can actually harm the sstripping it of essential oils and leading to skin dryness. Sticcool or lukewarm showers or baths and soak for only 10 minor less to avoid damaging the skin.

Also, choose a hydrating body wash, such as Cetaphil Restderm Skin Restoring Body Wash, which uses advanced tenologies to help restore the skin barrier function and remoisture. Patdont rubdry with a soft towel.

Seek Professional Advice If your skin isnt improvinmight be time to see a dermatologist. A doctor can presc

prescription anti-inflammatory creams to complement your dcleansing and moisturizing routine, says Dr. Zeichner.Invest In A Humidifier Dry heat from heaters in y

home can wreak havoc on your skin. Opt for a humidifier to hadd moisture to the skin by replacing moisture to the air.

Dont Forget About The Sun Even though it is cold side, the suns rays can still cause sunburn in the winter. Be cful in the snow because UV rays can reflect off the white surand burn unprotected skin. Look for a facial moisturizer wan SPF of 30 or higher to protect your face and neck daily, gests Dr. Zeichner.
