6 Broadcaster Press August 9, 2016 www.broadcasteronline.com August is National Immunization Awareness Month: Are You Up-to-Date? (SPM Wire) August is National Immunization Awareness Month and the perfect opportunity to make sure everyone is up-to-date with their vaccination schedules, particularly children headed back-to-school. Different ages and communications are susceptible to different diseases. Knowing what vaccines you have received and which you need is crucial. While it’s a great idea to keep your own records up-to-date at home, you can always check in with your physician, too. To learn more about the importance of vaccines, visit cdc. gov/vaccines. Vaccinations save lives and prevent serious illness. Be sure to stay on top of this crucial aspect of your family’s health. Tips to Prevent the Spread of Back-to-School Germs Enhance Your Home Exterior During National Curb Appeal Month (StatePoint) If your home exterior looks “blah,” National Curb Appeal Month in August is the time to borrow successful ideas from builders. “Builders avoid the cookie cutter look with simple siding, railing, porch and trim tricks,” says Patrick Graham, strategic product manager with Weyerhaeuser Distribution To make your home stand out, try these tips: • Mix it up. Try mixing different siding and trim products, such as pairing low-maintenance PVC trim pieces from Ply Gem together with fiber cement siding from a company like James Hardie. Combine cedar lap siding with fiber cement shingle panels, or mix vertical board and batten panel-type engineered wood siding with stucco-style panels. There are no set style rules; let your home’s personality be your guide. • Make a statement. Add visual sophistication with a few trim tricks. For example, use thicker trim at the gables to make them pop. Or, mix trim widths to emphasize windows and doors. A new stand-out front porch area on the home with an easy-care cedar floor and vertical cable railing can add an extra punch of curb appeal to any home exterior! More tips can be found at woodbywy.com. This National Curb Appeal Month, take steps to make your home exterior pop. (StatePoint) Back-to-school is an exciting time of year for families, but it also means new exposures to germs. From school desks found to have 400 times more bacteria than the average toilet, to personal items like backpacks and cellphones, germs are everywhere. Taking steps to reduce exposure can make for a healthier school year ahead. Remember to wash hands and your items frequently -- did you know that backpacks have 10,000 germs per square inch? Then, use shelf liner in areas of your home where school items are stored for extra protection. Try using Easy Liner brand shelf liner by Duck brand with Clorox antimicrobial protection, which protects the liner from the growth of mold and mildew. Plus, the liners can be tossed in the wash for easy cleaning. Parents can help keep classrooms cleaner by providing teachers with disinfecting wipes and shelf liner to protect desks, drawers and shelves.

In conjunction with the Surgeon General’s recent Call to Walk, the campaign emphasizes walking as the single most recommended form of exercise. It’s one of the easiest, least expensive and most customizable types of physical activity, according to Kiley Hump, chronic disease prevention and health promotion administrator for the Department of Health. “Regular physical activity reduces the risk of numerous chronic diseases, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, high blood pressure, certain cancers, depression and even falls. Walking for just 15 or 20 minutes per day is one of the most accessible ways to stay active, reduce health risks and improve quality of life,” said Hump. “Walk with friends, family, coworkers and pets in your neighborhood, community and at work.” The campaign includes monthly Facebook photo contests from June to September. Post a photo and use the hashtag #WalkToWinSD to enter. Winners will receive physical activity trackers or walking shoes. “Slightly more than half of South Dakota adults meet the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans for aerobic activity,” said Hump. “The goal of this campaign is to encourage South Dakotans to add a little more physical activity to their daily routines.” Data from the department’s behavioral risk factor survey shows walking is the most reported physical activity for 39 percent of South Dakotans and the second mostreported activity for another 10 percent. Visit www.facebook.com/ HealthySDTrails to learn more about the initiative and participate in the monthly #WalkToWinSD photo contests. Preventing and reducing the burden of chronic disease through increased physical activity is one objective of the Department of Health’s 20152020 strategic plan, http:// doh.sd.gov/strategicplan. Archery Training in South Dakota Schools continues to Grow Pierre, S.D.- The National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP) sponsored by Game, Fish and Parks (GFP) currently has 281 schools trained in the program with around 20,000 students participating each year. GFP hosts an eight hour safety and proficiency training for educators free of cost. Upon completion of the training, educators are eligible to receive free archery equipment to conduct the program in their school. Schools with trained instructors can send students to state NASP tournaments. Six hundred students registered this past year. "Studies have shown that 70 percent of participants in NASP are shooting a bow and arrow for the first time," said Patrick Klotzbach, NASP coordinator for South Dakota. "GFP is excited that these students are getting a safe introduction to the shooting sports." "The kids in NASP are learning a life skill," said Klotzbach. "We hope that these young people enjoy archery for years to come." NASP is created upon the foundation to promote outdoor learning and conservation as well as motor ability and observation skills in achieving state and national education standards. Archery training for grades 4-12 has been in place in South Dakota schools since 2007.
