Proper Hydrationby Matt Angove, ND of Angove Family Medicine

Proper hydration is vital for every cell in your body to function optimally. Your cells can either resemble a nice plump grape or a shriveled up raisin ; it all depends on your state of hydration. Consider that about 70% of your body is water. So, if you vacuumed all the water out of your body, only 30% of you would remain. If you want to run faster, think smarter, sleep better and generally feel awesome, consume water on a regular basis.

Kids — I recommend that you consume one-third to one-half your body weight in ounces of water per day. A 100 pound child would then consume about 30-50 ounces of fluids per day. The more fruit and vegetables a person consumes, the less water they will need to drink. This is be-cause fruits and vegetables are 80-90% water. So if you abhor drinking water just swap out some of the other foods you are eating for fruits and vegetables. Also, if you are eating lots of crackers, chips, fries, breads and soda pop you will need to add in an extra cup of water for each serving of those food items since they are dehydrating.

It is important that you drink purified water from glass or stainless steel. Plastic water bottles can leach toxic substances into your water that have the potential to create chronic diseases.

My favorite water purifier is the Berkey

water purification system. It is very cost

effective and doesn’t require electricity.

Whether you are

drinking from a personal

well or drinking city

water, using a purification

system is necessary these

days.

If you are having trouble getting enough water, consider trying some of the following:• Make your water pretty by adding sliced cucumbers, lemons,

limes, and/or strawberries. This will not only make your water look fun, but will add a little zing to it as well.

• Get a cool bottle like the ones from Sigg. You can even cre-ate your own design for your bottle on their website.

• Create a daily water log and each time you drink a cup, finish your water bottle or have a serving of fruit or vegetables, check off a box.

• Try drinking out of big straws, skinny straws, or colored straws.

• Set a goal for water consumption by lunch time and dinner time. For example, if you have a 16 oz water bottle make sure you have finished it by lunch time, then fill up again and finish drink-ing that by dinner.

Matt Angove enjoys all things fitness and likes figuring out creative

ways to maximize human potential. He loves time with his wife, who is also a physician, and their three sweet little

girls Liberty, Lucia and Liliah. He and his family currently reside in Chehalis.


ike her husband Martin Luther King, Jr., Coretta Scott King dreamed of making the world a better place to live. Each year the King Center in Atlanta awards a Coretta Scott King A.N.G.E.L. (Advancing Nonviolence through Generations of Exceptional Leadership) Award to a young leader (ages 12-25).

Last January, Aidan Thomas Hornaday, founder of AidanCares, was awarded the A.N.G.E.L. Award for his commitment to helping those in need and for working to teach a new generation to give.

idan Thomas Hornaday, age 14, has been playing a harmonica since he was little. One night he started playing his harmonica at a restauant because he was bored at a grown-up dinner. He ended up getting $80 in tips!

He decided to give his tips to charity to help sick children in Africa. He read an article about an illness there and he donated his tips to buy pills to help stop the suffering.

That was the start of AidanCares. Since then, things have really taken off. Aidan and his mom travel to raise money and to talk about the importance of giving and serving at all ages.

Aidan has visited children in hospitals

and met celebrities and newsmakers as he spreads his message about giving to others.

“Find your passion and give from that place. Then you will never give out,” says Aidan.

AidanCares is in the process of creating a series called “Giving 101” which will help inspire others to find what makes their heart sing. Read more at www.aidancares.org.Comedian Je�

Foxworthy with Aidan CNN founder and philanthropist

Ted Turner with Aidan

Talk with your parents or a grown up about an issue that you care about: homelessness, animals, the environment, etc. What is something you could do as a family to help even in some small way? Could you volunteer some time to help?

Find your passion. People, animals or

the earth. Give to what matters

to you. What makes your

heart sing?

Run TO need not FROM it! De�ne needs and go meet them.

Include others, it’s an opportunity,

not an inconvenience.

No matter how small an act of giving. BAM!

You become a di�erence

maker!

Hang with givers. You are de�ned

by those you run with and remember

sel�shness is a drag.

No excuses. Giving and

compassion need to be as much a part of your life

as breathing, working, and relationships.

Think of the world as a giant mosaic,

it will never be complete without you. YOU matter.

After 21 years working in Early Childhood Education I can confidently say that although some children demonstrate negative behavior, there are no bad children!

With all of life’s demands parenting can be challenging at times. In our quest to fit all the necessary events into our already packed day we can lose sight of the effect this fast paced

lifestyle has on children. More often than not when children feel stressed, frustrated, or out of control they will attempt to gain control over the situation. The inevitable happens: the train derails, and the meltdown comes with uncanny timing — usually in front of an audience — leaving even the most confident parent feeling inadequate and the sturdiest child drained!


Dallas Smith is the assistant director at Lewis County Head Start and has worked in early childhood

education for over 20 years. She holds an associate of applied science degree in early childhood education

from Lower Columbia College and a Bachelor of Arts with a split emphasis in psychology and organizational development from Evergreen State College. She enjoys

music, walking, reading and outdoor activities. She currently resides in Kelso.

1. Write an errand list and talk with your child about where you are going, what needs to be accomplished and let them be the “commander” of the list, checking the tasks off the list as completed.

2. Be prepared! Tying up loose ends at the last minute rushes everyone and gets the outing off to a bad start. Get children dressed, including shoes, 10-15 minutes before leaving and have a special travel bag that is designated for errands that includes coveted toys, blankets, books, action figures, small cars or trucks. Make sure to rotate items often to maintain novelty.

3. Give children decision making power whenever possible by giving them two options. For example: Have them choose the noodle shape for the tuna noodle casserole or macaroni and cheese; apples or bananas; orange or cranberry juice. This will help keep them invested in the errand, and will reduce boredom that often leads to whining which is a predictable precursor for power-struggles.

4. Be consistent, predictable and trustworthy. If you tell your child before you leave the house,

“when everything is checked off our errand list we are coming back home,” go home! This type of follow-through helps you build credibility with

your children in all areas of your relationship.

Keep in mind, most parents have been right where you are. Keep your cool and remember there can only be a power-struggle when two or

more people are engaged in the battle! You can do this!

Here are four tips to help keep the train on the tracks and put your child into the “power” position

they desire within the borders they need:

I believe with all my heart that the Bible is the Word of God. Why? Because it has stood the test of time.

Kings and kingdoms have ordered the Bible burned. Men were burned at the stake for reading the Bible and women were buried alive for doing the same.

Translators were executed for putting the Bible into the English language. Infidels and atheists have spent their lives trying to discredit the Bible but have always failed.

Even through time itself the Bible has continually been reproduced and preserved, even though for centuries hand copying was the only means of reproduction. It has always been available for those willing to read, study, and be guided by it.

What book has man ever written to compare with the Bible? It continues to be the world’s best seller and is found in almost every home.

Again this is not conclusive, but lends to and works with other evidence that the Bible is the Word of God.

FeatureAnita Dudra

Centralia Christian School, 4th grade

How long have you been teaching?

5 years in Hoquiam, 29 years at Cascade in Chehalis (in the same

classroom!), and this is my eighth year at Centralia Christian. You do the

math; I'm too tired. :)

What hobbies/interests do you enjoy outside of the classroom?I am a new grandma. Every minute I spend with our granddaughter is the

best! I also love to sit in our hot tub and read or talk with my husband, Rob. I've been in the same pinochle club for 31 years with 3 other couples, so I guess I

like to play cards. "Bid or bunch!"

Do you have a mantra or quote you are always telling your

students? In my fourth grade classroom at CCS,

students are nominated to be "Self-Managers." They have seven written

goals they must attain in order to be nominated, and one unwritten rule: "Self-

Managers keep their beautiful teacher happy!" They love that one. So do I.

"Mrs. Dudra demonstrates her commitment to students with over 30 years of teaching experience in kindergarten at Cascade Elementary. After retiring from the public school classroom eight years ago, Mrs. Dudra began teaching fourth grade here at Centralia Christian School. She is a wonderful resource and mentor teacher to her colleagues. Mrs. Dudra is an expert in Love and Logic and regularly offers classes to parents in this behavior management program. Recently Mrs. Dudra happily opened her home to three members of the traveling drama group, The Covenant Players, when they were performing for CCS students. Mrs. Dudra's hospitality gifts know no bounds. Her home is the "go to" place for staff celebrations. She is an inspiration to us all with her spirit of service."

Nominator, Ann Stout, Principal of Centralia

What made you decide to become a teacher?

Mrs. Medley, and many other fabulous teachers who touched my life during my childhood.

What is a favorite teaching memory?It's hard to choose — so many fond memories!

In first grade at Cascade a leprechaun ran loose in my classroom one year. The children

would set traps, but that silly leprechaun would just spring the traps and leave the kids rude or sarcastic notes. The children read their notes

aloud. One little girl was sobbing before she read her note. I asked her why she was crying and she said, "My note says, "Die, die!"

Aghast, I went to look at her note. What it really said was,

"Bye, bye!" First graders crack me up!

Is there anything else you would like to add?

I officially retired back in 2008. One of these days I will retire "for real." Right now there is nothing I'd rather be doing, and at this point,

though it's hard work, I consider teaching more of a ministry than a job. I am blessed.

ometimes it is hard to decide if something is a need or a want. For example, cake is a food, but it is not a need. It’s a want.

Which of these following foods are more wants than needs?

A is something you must have in order to survive. You need shelter, clothing, food, water and sometimes medicines.

A is something you would like to have, but can live without. A music player, a computer, a television and a bike are wants, not needs.

Illnesses seem to peak during the winter months. A tapped-out immune system as well as dry, cold air may encourage the spread of common viruses and bacterial infections. As a result, it’s important to take every step possible to ward off sickness when the temperatures drop. Dietary changes can make a world of difference, and more and more people are including these proven superfoods in their winter diets.

Superfoodsfor Optimal Health

WINTER

· POMEGRANATE: This quirky fruit has vitamins C and K, folate and potassium and is a good source of fiber. Pomegranate may also help the body fight viruses.

· AVOCADO: Avocado has high levels of essential fatty acids and vitamin B6, which is important in the biosynthesis of important neurotransmitters.

· CINNAMON: Cinnamon has high levels of antioxidants, and some studies point to cinnamon as a natural antibacterial agent. Cinnamon also can help regulate blood-glucose levels, which is beneficial for those with diabetes.

“We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.”~ Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.


As many parents know from first-hand experience, young children have a knack for getting into just about everything and exploring their world with all of their senses. Anything that looks interesting is fair game to curious little ones, and there’s a good chance that whatever they get their hands on will end up in their mouths.

According to the Washington Poison Center’s (WAPC) annual report for 2014, just over half of all calls received by their hotline concerned children under six years old. The WAPC also mentions that poisonings are most common in children ages one and two.

Providing a safe environment for little explorers requires diligence. It’s important to remember that poisoning doesn’t occur solely from ingestion. Parents must also be aware of toxins that can be inhaled or come into contact with eyes and skin.

Although most parents have a good system in place for keeping harmful products away from children, it’s wise to periodically reassess the household. Potentially dangerous items include more than just the typical cleaning products stashed under the kitchen sink or the toiletries and medicines tucked away in the bathroom cabinets.

Products in the Home• Laundry and dishwashing detergent pods have

bright colors and squishy textures that are appealing to

children but their ultra-concentrated formulas can be very toxic.

• Coin lithium batteries (also called button batteries) are found in many household items – flashlights, singing

greeting cards, car alarm remotes, toys, musical books, etc. If a button battery gets caught

in the esophagus burns and serious complications can occur if not removed promptly. • Check battery compartments and ensure that they are child-resistant. Use duct tape to

reinforce compartments that can be popped open.• Keep packages of unused batteries out of reach and make

sure to properly discard old batteries.

• Mousetraps in their various forms can be harmful to kids. Rodenticide (mouse bait) may be toxic if handled or ingested and snap traps can cause injuries.

• Try electronic traps equipped with automatic shutoff and a tunnel design that protects kids from getting shocked. • Safer bait alternatives: peanut butter, bacon, oatmeal, crackers, beef sticks.

• Mothballs can look like candy to youngsters and are dangerous if ingested or inhaled.

• Prevent the need for mothballs by storing freshly-cleaned clothes in airtight containers. • Try disposable, non-toxic traps that use insect pheromones to lure moths onto a sticky surface. • Wash and air out clothing and blankets stored with mothballs before using them.

Keeping toxic substances out of little hands means looking beyond the usual suspects.

POISON

PROTECTIONPOISON

PROTECTIONby Megan Berry of Centralia


Products in the Garage• Antifreeze has a naturally sweet taste and although many

brands add a bitter flavor to their product, it is risky to leave a container or puddle of antifreeze within reach of curious children.

• Windshield washer fluid contains methanol, a poisonous alcohol. The pretty blue color can be mistaken for a tasty beverage.

• Lawn and garden products such as fertilizers can be hazardous through ingestion, inhalation, or physical contact. Granules are enticing to children while sprays can accidentally come into contact with skin and eyes or be inhaled.

• Keep kids inside during application and allow proper time for products to soak in, dissolve, or dry out.

• Keep products out of reach in locked cabinets.

Plants and Flowers• Houseplants and flowers can cause upset stomach

and mouth irritation. The good news is that most common species don’t cause much damage unless consumed in large quantities. These include peace lily, calla lily, English ivy, philodendron, rhododendron, daffodil, and

poinsettia. Be cautious of oleander as its toxicity can cause more

serious harm.• Berries can be confusing

for youngsters because many varieties are perfectly okay to eat. Some species are poisonous but cause only mild discomfort.

• Mushrooms can be interesting to children but determining whether they are safe or poisonous can be challenging and requires

training and experience. • Check your yard

periodically and remove any mushrooms or unsafe berries

you discover.

PreventionTeach kids these basic safety rules:

• If you don’t know what something is, do not put it in your mouth.• Never take medicine unless a grownup gives it to you.• Mr. Yuk means “No.” Do not touch, taste, or smell when you see Mr. Yuk.

Tips for a Safe Household:• Use cabinet safety locks or store toxic products out of sight and out of reach.• Use Mr. Yuk stickers on daily-use products that need to be kept handy.• Never refer to medicine as candy.• Store products in their original containers to avoid confusion. Keep ingredient labels and instructions.• Swap chemical-laden cleaners with homemade, less toxic solutions.

Washington Poison Center (WAPC) Interesting Facts• In 2014 the hotline answered 63,728 calls.• 91% of all calls placed from a home were resolved at

home.• Exposure or poisoning? Exposure refers to actual or

suspected contact with a potentially dangerous substance by inhaling, ingesting, absorbing, etc. Not all exposures lead to poisoning.

• The most common substance for exposure calls in children under six years old is diaper rash cream.

• The most common substance for exposure calls overall is acetaminophen. Call the WAPC if you suspect an acetaminophen exposure. The advice they dispense varies greatly depending upon the age and weight of the subject, the amount taken, and other products taken.

• The hotline dispenses advice for bug bites, stings, and rashes as well.

• No emergency necessary. The hotline welcomes all poison-related queries.

All data was collected from the Washington Poison Center 2014 annual report which is available on the WAPC website at www.wapc.org.

When to Call 911Skip the hotline and seek emergency services

if the person has collapsed, is unconscious, or has difficulty breathing.

Intended for: Parents

This book complements Ruth Yaron’s Super Baby Food book

from 2013 and includes full-color photos and easy to follow healthy,

organic recipes for babies and toddlers. A bonus to the recipes

is tips on how to include chia seeds, wheat germ and more for

an added boost.

The recipes are easy to follow and don’t have a million ingredients to try to find. I am

not intimidated as I look through the book and I believe it would

be pretty easy to try these recipes. The photos are

a nice touch and make me want to try a few I may

have passed over.
