Warm Springs, Oregon August 10, 1990 Page 7 Involve aging parents in life's decisions Spilyay Tymoo Involve your parent in decision making. When considering what is best for your mother or father, be sure to ask your parent's opinion. Too often the older person is not included in planning and decision making. Family members may fail to tell the person what's happening or me decisions Dcing considered, This contributes to feelings of iso lation, helplessness, anxiety and perhaps despair. Change can cause anxiety, but not being involved in decisions about a change creates even more anxiety. Shared decisions usually pro duce the best results. Aged parents have a legal and moral right to participate in plans affecting their lives and to make their own deci sions whenever possible. You may not always agree with their choices. Only if your parents experience reduced mental capacity and or there is evidence they are endanger ing the lives of others, should you question their ability to make de cisions. For example, if yourfather doesn't see well and has had several minor accidents but still insists on driving, then the family has a responsibility to take preventive action. In such cases, you may need to dictate or overrule a parent's decision. Do this with kindness and explain the situation honestly to your parent. If you must set limits, involve your parent in decisions about how to implement these limits. For example, say to your father, "Dad, driving isn't a possibility any long er, so what are other ways you might be able to get around?" Work together to identify the Deep watering During summer dry spells, small er trees and shrubs in the home landscape should get adequate moisture by deep-watering. Plants weakened by lack of water are more susceptible to insect attack and disease. Deep-watering trees and shrubs is simply a matter of watering them for longer periods during the summer than at other times of the year. Trees and shrubs in their first growing season usually need this type of irrigation more than most Diabetic summertime coolers Champagne Fooler Bubble, bubble, no toil, no trouble! I serving .

Hurry, Hurry, Hurry! choices available to your parent. To relieve stress between you and your parent, you may want your parent's physician to partici pate in the decisionmaking. Some people will accept their physicians suggestions more easily than they'd accept the same suggestions if given oy a lamuy mcmocr. A parent who is excluded from decisionmaking is most likely to become angry, demanding, help less or withdrawn. Plans are also more likely to backfire. Involvement in decisionmaking provides greater assurance that a person will accept and adapt to a change, even if the change is not the individual's preferred choice. A person who feels railroaded into a new situation usually makes a poor adjustment. Regardless of age, feel ing in control of one's life is im portant. As a family member, you are likely to find the burden of deci sionmaking easier if you've dis cussed plans earlier with the person for whom you must make deci sions. Explore options. Carefully ex plore various options before ma king a decision. It's important not to have preconceived ideas about what is "the best solution." Identify all implications of a change or decision under consideration. Consider the effect on your parent, yourself and other family mem bers. Evaluate your parent's econo mic situation. Talking about finan ces may make you feel uncomfort able and make your relative feel you're meddling; nevertheless. helps- other plants. Less deep-watering is needed for shallow-rooted plants. Water travels downward through the soil, not outward. To keep the water directly over the plant roots it sometimes helps to build water ing basins around the trunk of a tree. Check to see how moist the soil is below the surface by digging down with a shovel about a foot-and-a-half. Moist soil at that level means the roots have sufficient moisture for vigorous growth.

Every county needs to have a Jefferson such discussion is crucial to effective planning. Consider your parent's income sources-such as Social Security, pensions and bcnefits--in addition to current and potential expenses. Inform yourself about possible financial support. It's helpful to know your laws and regulations concerning assistance in advance of need. Find out what your parent's health insurance policies including Medicare-cover. Contact your local public assist ance or welfare office for eligibil ity requirements. The Internal Revenue Service can supply you with information about tax breaks available to older people and to families who provide care and support to older relatives. Know the families resources. This will help you to evaluate alternatives. Talk with various family members to identify what each can contribute. In one family, for example, the adult children split their mother's chores three ways: one daughter shops: another daughter launders clothes: and a son keeps the accounts and busi ness records up-to-date. Avoid unrealistic expectations of family members, however. Re member, your brothers, sisters, children and spouse each have a unique relationship with your parents. Sometimes, individual family members are experiencing Exercisers need liquid intake Exercising in hot weather re quires certain precautions. This is especially true for those exercising for long periods of time, exercising when the humidity is high andor for the less-fit person. When you begin to exercise, a series of reactions begins in the body to convert energy to work. Heat is one of the by-products of this conversion. If the body did not have a highly efficient heat regu lating system, we would only be able to exercise for very short periods of time before heating the body core to dangerously high levels. The body cools itself through radiation and evaporation of sweat. Both methods are effective until the surrounding air tempera ture is close to the same as the body temperature. Then, the body must rely totally on sweating to cool itself. This is effective as long as the air humidity is low, but if humidity is high, the body's ability to cool through sweat evaporation is also lessened. Therefore, the combina tion of heat and humidity created the worst possible environment for prolonged exercise. Effective cooling through eva poration of sweat depends largely upon an adequate amount of fluid within the body-called "hydra tion." When fluids lost through sweating are not replaced, the exerciser becomes "dehydrated." It does not take very much fluid loss for a heart syndrome to occur. At a three per-cent loss of body fluid, there is generally impaired perform ance and someone who loses five per-cent is at risk for heat exhaustion. objective of 4-H clubs planned approach to fund raising, the management of fund raising, and the utilization of funds re ceived. CLUB FUND RAISING: 4-H club fund raising should be done for a specific educational program or activity. The fund raising activity should be devel oped as an educational experience for the members, not as a door-to-door solicitation which may not be appropriate for children. Through raising and spending funds, 4-H members can learn: How to handle and account for funds. How to plan and carry out a money-raising activity. How to share with other club members and the community. Teamwork and self-reliance. Fund raising should not be a 4-H group's major objective. Individu al 4-H clubs do not have a need for a large treasury. Funds should be raised for specific purposes in cluding community service pro jects and assisting youth who do not have resources to participate without financial help. Fund rais ing by a club should be confined to Magnets may erase program Magnetic devices to catch and hold pins may play havoc with the memory in some computer sewing machines.

This is only a concern with newer com puterized and programmable sew ing machines and does not effect conventional machines. stress in their own lives a troubled marriage, problems with teenage children, uncertainty about a job or finances-which may limit the support they can give. Your per ceptions of a family members situation or assets may not be accurate. Therefore encourage each family member to share con cerns and explore the family re sources together. Don't criticize other family member's contributions; remem ber that your nonjudgemental attitude may help build family solidarity. Try a family conference. A family conference can provide a forum for open communication among family members. Involve the elder, siblings, spouses and other relatives who are concerned or will be affected by decisions under consideration. Don't exclude concerned family members because of personality, limited resources or distance (use telephone calls or letters to inform and involve anyone who's absent). It is just as important to include a brother or sister who is argu mentative or "never visits or seems to care" in the family conference as the brother or sister who provides financial and or emotional sup port. This helps to avoid later undermining of the decision by those not included. Some warning signs that your body is overheating are: tiredness, mental fatigue or headache, con fusion, lethargy, decreased muscle strength or coordinaton and chills. If you experience these symptoms during exercise, stop, rest and drink some fluids (preferably water). If the symptoms disappear, you may begin again, but if they return, stop exercising for the day. If you continue to exercise in the presence of the warning signs, you are risk ing heat exhaustion and possible circulatory collapse. Thirst is not a good indicator of body fluids when exercising. Usually, by the time you feel thirsty, you are already behind on fluids. Exercisers should begin an exercise session well-hydrated and take small amounts of liquids at regular intervals-up to one quart per hour. This amount is about all the stomach is able to College bound students will Sending a son or daughter off to college brings adjustments for parents as well as for the beginning freshman. Family stress research ers have found that having a family member move out of the home, even temporarily, may be a major stressful event for some families. As a parent, you can expect that as your child experiences new independence, they may be testing their values away from parental authority, explains Ruth Harme link, Oregon State University Ex tension family life specialist. This is a normal part of the separation process. the county or community and any fund raising activity should be re ported to the county Extension office before it is undertaken. Clubs should raise their funds through their own efforts. Appro priate fund raising activities in clude recycling of paper, cans, bottles; car washes; bake sales; or agreed-upon assessment of dues. Other methods used to solicit funds and or awards must have the approval of the county Exten sion staff chairman or their repre sentative). GENERAL POLICIES: Fund raising (material or mone tary) must be directed so the con tributions are to 4-H and 4-H controls the disbursement of funds. Solicitation of funds for an individual (for example, an auc tion sale) is not a contribution to 4-H. Fund raising in the form of raffles or bingo is legal in Oregon. Fund raising must be done within all aspects of the law including obtaining permits where needed. (See the insert entitled "Oregon Laws on Bingo and Raffles"). Exercise now! Exercise now more than ever. Every little bit will help burn calories and give you a stress break. Dingy garment Dingy gray garments are caused by improper washing procedures. The frequent cause is overloading the washing machine, improper sorting and incorrect use of laun Hot weather hard on ' landscape, garden plants Hot August weather increases the water needs of garden and landscape plants, especially orna mental plants in their first year of growth. When water isn't readily avail able to ornamental or vegetable plants on hot days, the plants be come heat-stressed and may show signs of wilting. In the garden this causes inferior quality in harvested garden vege tables. Pay particular attention to raised beds in the garden. They dry out quickly and should be watered frequently. In the landscape heat stress can weaken plants or in some cases cause problems that won't be noticed until later. For example, camellias that aren't watered adequately during hot spells will lose their flower handle efficiently. Continue to drink fluids at regular intervals for several hours after the workout. Exercisers should be drinking from 10-12 glasses of water per day especially during the hot weather. The best drink for adequate hydration and maximum perform ance is water. It is the most easily absorbed and the least likely to cause problems. When you sweat, it is true that you also lost elec trolytes, but the typical American diet meets the sodium chloride (salt) and potassium needs of most exercisers. Therefore, special drinks, such as Gatorade are not necessary. Salt tablets are not only unnecessary, but potentially harm ful. Persons exercising steadily for I xh to 2 hours or longer who may need electrolyte replacement can do so by adding a little salt to their food at mealtime or drink some thing high in sodium and potassi Both parents and children may experience feelings of loss. For the child, it may be loss of familiar surroundings, loss of the family support system, loss of old friends, or loss of the "old rules." It could also mean loss of status. The "A" student or football star will have to prove him or herself all over again. Parents may also experience an unanticipated loss. While they may have looked forward to this event, they may find themselves missing their son or daughter and having more time available without their teenager in the home. During the first few months of the separation, it is important for parents to allow their kids time to adjust and develop new relation ships.

In blueberry plants, lack of water in late summer will cause a lack of bud development in the spring, which in effect means no blueberry production from the plant for that season. Ornamentals in their first year of growth are especially vulnerable to lack of water in the late summer during hot spells. A young tree or shrub weakened by lack of water may not survive the winter in its retarded condition. Container plants also need extra attention during hot periods. Soil in containers, whether large or small, can dry out quickly in hot weather. Water container plants when the soil is dry, but avoid getting the soil excessively soggy. in heat um such as skim milk, orange juice, tomato juice or lemonade.

Some may even want to drop out of school. Offer support and encourage ment but try to limit visits and phone calls during this time. Other children may not write or phone at all-except to ask for money. This, too, may be "normal" behavior. Parents of these students should also avoid frequent phone calls, as their sons or daughters will perceive they are being checked up on. Patience, understanding and en couragement are called for on the part of all family members as the new school year begins.
