From Staff Reports
MARQUETTE The Michigan
Outdoor Writers Association
announced the winners of their
annual writing and photography
awards at their summer meeting
held in Marquette.
Among those recognized for
excellence in work published
in 2009 was Pioneer Group
outdoor writer Don Ingle of
Baldwin.
Ingle received the James A.O.
Crowe award for best outdoor
columns, his third win in that
category, for a series of articles
published in the Pioneer and
Lake County Star. The award is
named in honor of the longtime
outdoor writer for the Detroit
News.
Ingle also received the MOWA
Cliff Ketchum award for
excellence in outdoor black and
white photography for work also
published in the Pioneer and
Lake County Star.
MOWA is one of the oldest
state outdoor communicators
associations in the Nation
and represents writers,
photographers, lm and video
producers and book authors
who work in communicating the
outdoor experiences so long a
tradition in Michigan.
Yoga, Acupuncture and
Massage: All Can Help
Relieve Chronic Pain
(NewsUSA) - Many people
who take medications for
chronic pain sometimes wonder
whether there is more they can
do to manage their condition
better. More and more, medical
research is showing that the
answer is a resounding yes.
While prescription and over-
the-counter medications can
be useful in treating chronic
pain, efforts to manage pain can
often be enhanced by using an
integrative approach to care that
combines traditional medicine
with complementary and
alternative therapies.
Integrative care can include a
variety of methods such as yoga,
acupuncture, massage, physical
therapy, biofeedback, tai chi
and meditation. Many experts
agree that integrative care must
be tailored to the patient, as not
every treatment will be effective
or appropriate for everyone.
Each patient should have a plan
MONDAY, JUNE 14, 2010 TRI COUNTY NEWS SHOPPER 5
that meets his or her individual
needs.
A pain management plan
that utilizes an integrative
approach yields the best results
for many people with pain. In
combination with medication,
alternative and complementary
therapies can help patients
better manage their pain and
lead more fullling lives, says
Robert Bonakdar, M.D., of the
American Academy of Pain
Management. There is no one-
size-ts-all solution, so people
with chronic pain may need
to try different therapies to
nd the best approach to pain
management. Communicating
openly and honestly with your
healthcare provider is essential
to nding the right approach.
Today, integrative care is
becoming an increasingly
popular pain management
strategy. In fact, the National
Institutes of Health reports
that 38 percent of adults in
the United States (about four
out of 10) use some form of
complementary or alternative
medicine to treat common
problems such as back, neck or
joint pain.
People with pain should ask
their doctor if an integrative
approach to pain management
is right for them. Additionally,
Partners Against Pain, a
national educational program
provided by Purdue Pharma L.P.
at www.partnersagainstpain.
com, contains an array of
information on pain conditions
and pain management.
Fight Summer Brain Drain
(NewsUSA) - The National
Center for Summer Learning
states, Most students lose
about two months of grade-level
equivalency in mathematical
computation skills over summer
months. Therefore, even the
best students forget lessons they
have learned during the school
year.
Sylvan Learning, the leading
provider of tutoring to students
of all ages, grades and skill
levels, offers tips to make
summer learning fun:
* Writing. Encourage your child
to start a diary or write letters to
a friend. If you are traveling on a
vacation, ask your child to keep
a journal recording where you
stayed and what you did. Each
day, talk through the activities
with your child and help with
the journal. It not only improves
writing skills, but also creates
great family memories.
* Math. Everyday, ordinary
activities are packed with
opportunities to develop and
sharpen math skills. Grocery
shopping involves weighing
fruits and vegetables, comparing
prices and making change.
Cooking provides practice
with organization, planning
and following a recipe. Help
children select recipes, create
an ingredients list, shop and
prepare a family meal together.
* Reading. You cant start too
early. You cant read too much.
Reading to young children
nurtures an interest in language,
words and communication. For
older kids, reading together
can be fun and interesting.
Librarians can recommend
books appropriate for a childs
reading level and interests,
and many libraries offer free
childrens programs and clubs.
* Research. Through the Web
site www.BookAdventure.com,
children (grades K-8) create
personalized book lists from
more than 7,500 recommended
titles, take comprehension
quizzes, and earn points towards
small prizes. It is designed to
motivate students to read more
often, for longer periods of time
and with greater understanding.
* Summer Programs. There
are many enrichment activities
available for children when
school is out of session. Sylvan
Learning offers engaging
programs that keep the
interest and fun in learning
alive through the summer
and into the school year. Visit
www.SylvanLearning.com for
additional information.
Summer is a great time for
families to work and play
together using interactive
activities.
Sylvan Learning offers a free

Put Brain Power on the
Back-to-School List
(NewsUSA) - That groan
you hear is most likely the
collective sound of childrens
disappointment that summer is
almost over and a new school
year is about to begin. And while
youve probably thought of all
the back-to-school essentials,
theres something you might not
have considered -- brain health.
Based on considerable research
indicating that diet, exercise and
rest can help improve cognitive
performance, the California
Innovations BrainFuel program
helps parents lay a strong
foundation for their childrens
education. It features short
articles that highlight recent
brain research, the impact
that sleep and fitness have on
mental acuity, quick tips for
packing smarter lunches, and
recipes for brain-healthy meals.
Here are a few tips to get you
started:
* Skip the snooze and make
breakfast. Research has found
that breakfast-eaters have
higher school attendance,
reduced tardiness, better
behavior, and stronger test
performance than breakfast-
skippers.
* Drop the pop. Is soda
pop really that bad? Yup.
Affirmative. Absolutely, says
board-certified nutritionist and
author Jonny Bowden, PhD,
CNS. Loaded with high-fructose
corn syrup, soda pop offers a
lot of calories and no nutritional
value. Stick with the basics --
100 percent juice, milk, or plain
old water.
* Go nuts! For snacks, skip
the potato chips and pack nuts
instead (allergies aside, of
course). Walnuts are high in
Omega-3 and antioxidants like
vitamin E and vitamin B6.
* Focus on fitness. Experts
arent exactly sure how
exercise fuels learning,
6
00264483 TRI COUNTY NEWS SHOPPER MONDAY, JUNE 14, 2010

but they know that it does.
According to Dr. John J. Ratey,
clinical associate professor of
psychiatry at Harvard Medical
School, Exercise itself doesnt
make you smarter, but it puts
the brain of the learners in
the optimal position for them
to learn. Studies show that
exercise enables cells to sprout
synapses, which are crucial to
forming connections the brain
needs in order to learn.
* Encourage plenty of sleep.
Even minor changes in sleep...
can impair a school kids
learning, memory, attention [and]
concentration, says researcher
Avi Sadeh, DSc, director of the
Laboratory for Childrens Sleep
and Arousal Disorders at Tel Aviv
University.
The California Innovations
BrainFuel program is made
possible with support from
LeapFrog, Horizon, Every Day
with Rachael Ray, Bumble
Bee, Dole Fruit Bowls, Parents
Magazine and other sponsors.

Salt and Your Health
(NewsUSA) - Salt is essential
to keeping your bodys fluids
in balance. But too much salt
can lead to a host of health
problems.
The chemical name for dietary
salt, or table salt, is sodium
chloride. Most doctors focus on
the sodium part.
The best-known effect of
sodium on health is the
relationship between sodium and
blood pressure, explains Dr.
Catherine Loria of the National
Institutes of Health.
Dozens of studies, in both
animals and people, have
shown that increasing salt intake
can raise blood pressure. And
high blood pressure has been
linked to heart disease, stroke,
kidney failure and other health
problems.
About one in three adults
nationwide has high blood
pressure. Another third have
blood pressure numbers high
enough to risk developing high
blood pressure. Thats why,
Loria says, its really important
for the majority of the population
to reduce their blood pressure.
Experts recommend that
people take in less than 2,400
milligrams (mg) of sodium a day.
People with high blood pressure
should shoot for 1,500 mg or
less. But right now, the average
man in the United States takes
in over 4,000 mg of salt per day,
and the average woman over
2,800 mg.
Would you miss the taste?
Several studies have shown
that as you gradually reduce
sodium intake, you lessen your
desire for salty food, Loria
says. In the U.K., where salt
consumption has dropped by 10
percent over the past five years,
surveys found that most people
didnt notice any difference in the
taste of their food.
Most of the salt in the average
Americans diet comes in
prepared and processed foods,
including restaurant food,
cold cuts and canned foods.
Surprisingly, over 20 percent
comes from grain products, such
as breads, cereals, crackers and
chips.
I think the best guidance
we have is for people to pay
attention to nutrition facts on the
labels, Loria says. Try to choose
foods that list less than 5 percent
of the daily value of sodium per
serving on the nutrition facts
label.
Even small reductions in salt can
help your blood pressure. If you
cant find a low-salt alternative to
a particular food, try something
thats lower than what you
usually buy.
Why not start now? Make small
changes at first, and then keep
working to gradually lower your
familys salt intake.
