Move to a warm area as soon as possible. While it’s tempting to rub or massage the affected area, it’s best to place the affected area in warm water until the skin is soft and sensation has returned. Next, wrap the area in clean dressings and seek medical help. If it is unlikely that the affected area can be kept thawed, treatment should not be carried out as a second round of freezing can cause more extensive and severe damage.

Cooler fall temperatures are ideal for planting flowers and trees, but be sure to plant those that produce less pollen, such as fir, pine, dogwood, azaleas, tulips, irises and pansies.

Here are some other helpful tips:

·               Wear a facemask while raking leaves or when working with mulch or hay

·               Use a dehumidifier in your basement – and clean it often – to avoid mold

·               Wash bathroom tiles and shower curtains with mold-killing products

Also, back-to-school time is a great opportunity to discuss allergies or asthma with your child’s school nurse or teacher!

Each quarter there are two employees who are chosen to receive the coveted “Cheetah of the Quarter” award.  These employees will have shown exemplary service throughout the preceding quarter.  We wanted to take just a moment to share with you our “Cheetahs” for the 1^st quarter of 2011.

Congrats!!!

Race for Survival Chat

presented in 2011 by Brown and Brown Insurance

Check out the Cheetahs at the Indianapolis Zoo.  At the exit to the Cheetah: The Race for Survival exhibit, there's a small gathering area where the keeper chats take place daily.  The chats are a mixture of discussions about cheetahs, as well as the other animals that are part of their exhibit such as the yellow hornbill and the bat-eared foxes.  There will also be a chat about the Kangal dogs that are being used in Africa to guard domestic life stock from cheetah predation, which makes killing the cheetahs unnecessary.  Our own dogs, Solo and Ayla, will demonstrate the abilities of these interesting canines.  Join the cheetah keepers for these informative chats throughout the day!
