DOUBLE
DRIVEL
Into The
Outdoors
With Dick and Mike
By Chris Henderson
Dick’s Thoughts
Congratulations to Moniteau High School’s Maura
Kimmel who recently committed to the University of
Pennsylvania to continue her track and field career.
I was shocked to learn the private schools did well in
the recent PIAA basketball championships. Winning 6
out of the 8 classifications shows how unfair the playing
field is, but nothing will happen and next year I will
making the same comment.
Neumann-Goretti is now 6-0 in state championship
basketball games. They have won the last 3 AAA titles and
are 34-2 all time in PIAA playoff games. Strange coincidence that they are a private school.
The Pirates got off to a great start with their sweep of
the Cardinals. It’s very early in the season but barring
injury it appears the Bucs now have a better lineup than
the Birds. I don’t know if the Pirates are good enough to
beat the Cubs though. The Bucs starting pitching has
some very big question marks, but I think at worst the
Pirates win 92 game and get to the playoffs again this
year.
Yadier Molina of the Cardinals looks like he either got a
fitbit or a contract with Slim Fast. He looks like he is really
aging and the downhill slide. He is listed as 34 years old,
but the way they count in certain areas he could well be
44.
The Steelers draft is fast approaching and don’t be surprised if the Black amd Gold take either cornerback Eli
Apple for Ohio State or Jarran Reed a defensive tackle out
of Alabama.
In their last 2 NCAA basketball playoffs Pitt has scored
43 and 45 points. Hopefully the new coach won’t be as
controlling as Dixon was.
Surprise, surprise UConn won the NCAA women’s basketball championship. That is the 4th straight title for the
Huskies whose average winning margin in the title games
27.5 points. I know they had 4 seniors but let me go on
record as saying they are the favorite again next year.
The Blue Jays are paying JA Happ $13 million this year.
The 5 man starting rotation for the Mets is being paid $7.5
million.
Gonzaga and Wichita State are looking to possibly join
the Big East. The states of Washington and Kansas seem
to be a stretch to be considered in the East.
Thought of the week: Age is of no importance unless
you are a cheese.

Well, it’s almost here. Saturday marks the opening of
another trout season around here. With that in mind, it
might be prudent to look at some last minute things to
check out before the big day, First of all, opening day
morning is just about the worst time to discover a problem with equipment. For example, if there is a leak in
your waders, you have a problem. It’s far too early in the
year to be able to tolerate wet feet. It will mean an early
end to your day. You have to make sure that all of your
tackle is in working order, too. If you are anything like
me, you might take the occasional tumble into the creek.
It’s a lot easier to do than you may think. I take a full
change of clothes with me. This includes extra waders.
You never know when you might desperately need them.
There’s really not much sense in preseason scouting.
Wherever you go on the first day, it is probably going to
be crowded. That’s just something with which we have
to live.
Over the years, I have written about eagles and their
return to this area. It seems, though, that I have overlooked another big, feathered angler, the osprey. Although they are not all that common around here, there
is seldom when I don’t spot at least one or two. They
usually return to Pennsylvania from their southern migration in March or April. Actually, I think that they are
pretty easy to distinguish from eagles. First of all, they are
a bit smaller. Also, they look to me as though they are
having a perpetual bad hair day. They are amazing birds.
They feed almost exclusively on fish, hence the nickname
“fish hawk” If hungry enough, they will eat something
else, but that seldom happens. Their wings are constructed in such a way that they can go the whole way
into the water, even submerge, to catch a fish, then take
flight. According to some scientists, they occasionally
sink their talons into a fish that is too heavy, and are
dragged to death by drowning.
Ospreys are sometimes the victims of the eagle’s superior size and strength. The eagle will attack the osprey in
the air, forcing it to drop its catch. The eagle then catches
the fish in midair and takes off with it. I have never seen
this, but it must be quite a sight.
If you want to see an osprey, there are several possibilities. You may spot one along the river. Harbor Acres
Lake apparently is a nesting area, as you see ospreys there
all the time. I have seen them at Oneida Lake as well.
Carp at Oneida like to rot in the shallows, making them
an easy target for a hungry osprey.
Both eagles and ospreys have some problems with reproduction. Chemical pollutants, which build up in the
bodies of fish, are the main culprit. They can cause eggs
to be infertile, or to have shells that are so thin that they
break when the parent birds gets on them to incubate
them.
And finally, the bears are up to their old mischief. Recently, my buddy’s bird feeders were decimated by the
bruins. I wonder if it’s worth it to put mine back up. A
bear destroyed them late last fall. I’m glad that bears are
back around here, but I wish they would kick the bird
feeder habit.
Let’s hope that the weather is nice on Saturday. Here’s
hoping that everyone has a great opening day of trout
season.

Save Your Parents from the
Perils of Modern Healthcare
By: Tony Rossi, Director of Communications, The Christophers
“All human life deserves respect, yet I think most of us in this
country and our world have forgotten or overlooked a large and
often voiceless section of our community: frail, older persons.”
Marcy Cottrell Houle learned that lesson after walking through
Alzheimer’s with her father—and various other maladies with
her mother. During an interview on “Christopher Closeup”
about her Christopher Award-winning book “The Gift of Caring,” she explained, “When people get sick or get dementia,
they’re often written off by the community or the whole system. It’s sad and scary to see some of these changes, but the
more you get to know these people, you realize that they still
are human beings. They deserve dignity and care.”
One time, Houle’s father was literally “forgotten,” after being
transferred to a nursing home after hip surgery. He was placed in
a room that was separated from the rest of the unit so he didn’t
receive any medication or water for close to a day. If it wasn’t for
Houle’s quick action to get help after seeing him in such a bad
state, he would likely have died.
That was just one incident in which the healthcare system
almost failed Houle’s parents. But this book isn’t about cursing
the darkness; it’s about raising awareness and offering readers
the light needed to avoid those pitfalls. Houle said, “Co-writing
[this book] with Dr. Elizabeth Eckstrom, who is one of the
nation’s leading geriatricians, made my story so much more than
a memoir…It provides the tools I wish I had, tools that can help
people reduce the suffering of their loved ones and hopefully
even change the system.”
One of the other things Houle learned is the importance of
educating yourself about specifics of your parents’ health because 97 percent of medical students aren’t trained to treat the
unique needs of seniors. For instance, have you ever heard of
the Beers List (named after Dr. Mark Beers, not the sudsy brew)?
It’s a list of medications that seniors shouldn’t be taking, yet
they’re often prescribed by doctors anyway. When a geriatrician
took Houle’s mother off certain pills, her energy level and cognitive abilities went up.
While caring for her parents brought obvious hardships, Houle
still considers the experience a blessing. She told me, “It was a
gift to be able to give back to the people that I loved, who’d
taken care of me and loved me.” Her Catholic faith also brought
her “the additional strength I needed. In the hardest of times, it
was there. God was at my side and my family was at my side, and
we still had that love.” The caregiving experience also had a
positive effect on Houle’s daughters, Emily and Jennifer. Both
of them went on to become talented and compassionate doctors who are committed to never forgetting what it’s like to be
the patient’s family.
In the end, Houle hopes that reading “The Gift of Caring”
teaches people about the world of modern healthcare and inspires them to action: “You have the power to make things
better for your loved ones, for your family. Get mad at a system
that forgets these people! And what little candle can you light to
try to make it better in your community? Think of that person
that’s alone and isolated. Maybe you can drive them to an appointment. Know how to discuss what a baseline is or other
healthcare issues. Just be armed so you [don’t] feel lost, but you
feel empowered.”

Allegheny-Clarion River Valley Region
Blueprint Communities Initiative
Greetings From Emlenton
Post Cards and Photographs
1st Year Accomplishments – Part I
by Marilyn McCall, Chair, Core Team
Blueprint Communities Initiative Accomplishments for
2015:
• A Joint Municipal Agreement was signed by all three
communities on October 4,
2015.
• By-Laws were written &
adopted & officers elected. The
Core Team was expanded by 3
(one from each community) &
several new Directors were appointed,
• The Borough of Emlenton
has provided a depository earmarked for BCI,
• Goal #1 – Trails/Recreation
• The Foxburg regional plan
has been updated. Parker updated its Capital Improvement
Plan which prioritizes needed
short-term, mid-term, & longterm improvements to the City.
Parker also provided an addendum to the Allegheny-Clarion
River Valley Blueprint Communities Recreational Tourism
Study done for Foxburg.
Emlenton’s is written & the Goal
#3 committee is working on
gathering photos of key buildings in Emlenton to add to the
study.
• Signage for the trail route
through Emlenton & a kiosk
have been installed. Foxburg
completed its signage project.
• Property has been identified
in Emlenton & Foxburg. Plans
are for a boat ramp & parking
area at both locations.
• Parker obtained Trail Town
status for the North Country
National Scenic Trail. Signage
has been provided by the North
Country Trail Association & was
installed throughout the length
of the trail through the City.
Signs are located at the City’s
north entrance & at the entrance
on S. Jackson Avenue. Blue trail
markers are located on utility
poles along the trail route.
• Work continues on the development of the Erie to Pitts-
burgh Trail. The AlleghenyValley Trail Association is the
lead. Conversations continue
with private property owners.
• Goal #1’s meetings are now
off the ground & running.
• Goal #2 – Business/Entrepreneurial Opportunities
• An inventory of businesses
that currently exist in the
ACRVR has been completed.
New businesses are opening in
Emlenton. Tangled in the
Crawford Center has a new
owner, & another is coming to
Main Street. The Chicken
Coop, Studio 306 is in the process of organizing a group of
residents in the Region who will
provide workshops, classes, &
events to promote creativity,
critical thinking, education, &
other outlets to better enhance
the communities. Two new
businesses will open in Parker
this fall.
• The Allegheny Clarion
River Valley Region Facebook
page is up & running and lists
information on BCI events &
meetings.
• Dave Staab of The Progress
News donated a domain. The
website “Allegheny Clarion
River Valley Region,” is being
developed.
Accomplishments to be continued in May column
The Core Team will be applying for funding to revitalize the
communities & the Region as a
whole. When applying for
grants, most grant sources require a local match. Some
grants permit the use of volunteer and/or in-kind labor (community labor that is the equivalent of a cash match). Others
require actual dollars. As the
Core Team does not have a
steady source of income, special events & fundraisers will
soon begin. A survey at the
Community Forum asked the
public for fundraising ideas &
the types of activities in which
they could help.
NOTE: As part of its
fundraising efforts, the ACRVR
Blueprint Communities has
registered for the IGA Hometown Label Savers program.
The Label Savers program will
pay the ACRVR $50 for each
bundle of 500 UPC codes from
IGA name brand products.
That’s 10 cents for each UPC
code! You can help by saving
your UPC codes. Proceeds will
be used as a match for grant opportunities. You can turn in the
codes to any board member
(listed above) or committee
member, or by dropping them
off to Nancy Marano at the Emlenton Borough Office.
The ACRVR is planning its 1st
Annual Paddle, Pedal, Party
event on Saturday, August
20th. Watch for the detail in
next week’s The Progress News.
A post card history book
has just been published by the
Pumping Jack Museum and
Historical Association in
Emlenton. The book, three
years in the making, has over
350 post cards and/or photographs that tell the story of
Emlenton from its earliest
days. The release of the book
has been delayed until the
committee meets on April 14
to determine the price of the
book. Until then, you can reserve your copy by stopping
in at Donaldson Motors on
River Avenue, or calling 724867-2293.
You’ll see photos of old
bridges that crossed the Allegheny so you could enter
Emlenton. You’ll see photos
of the old Emlenton Airport,
photos of the James Bennett
house, Mr. Clement’s Ice
Cream Factory, and John
Porterfield’s mansion.
Did you know that the
Nellie Hudson, a steam boat,
made its way up the Allegheny to Emlenton on Easter
morning, March 25, 1894? It
made many passenger excursions out of Emlenton, Parker
and East Brady. Later there
was
the
steamboat
Kittanning. You can read
about it in this new book. If
you love history, you’ll want
this book.
This 195 page book is the
product of the Pumping Jack
Museum committee, consisting of Bruce Donaldson,
Joanne Long, Cathy Powell
and Cammy Shreffler. Together they collaborated on
what photos and post cards
to include along with the captions.

It Takes Two To Tango
Yes, it does take two to
tango, but what magic occurs
when those same four hands
are literally dancing as they
pass over and around each
other on the piano? They are
able to recreate the power and
rich textures of a vast literature
of music - which otherwise
would require an entire orchestra or dance band in the concert hall– with just four hands
at the piano.
On Sunday, April 17 at 2 PM
Allegheny RiverStone Center
for the Arts brings the virtuosic
Kaplan Duo – Nanette Kaplan
Solomon and Iris Kaplan
Rosenthal – to perform a delightful program of dances, dynamic rhythmic compositions
and eloquently lyrical four hand
piano classics on the Lincoln
Hall Steinway in Foxburg.
Their popular selections
promise to get your toes tapping with the likes of
Piazzolla’s History of the Tango
and Moskowski’s Spanish
Dances, Dvorak’s Slavonic
Dances and Gershwin’s Variations on I Got Rhythm.
These extraordinarily accomplished sisters are polished performers, recording artists and
musical
communicators
who have a lifelong experience
of playing together, inspiring
each other, and bringing excitement to audiences through
their musical performances.
The Kaplan Duo is a four
hand piano duo of sisters who
have been sharing music since
childhood. Nanette was accepted to the Juilliard School
Pre-College Division as a scholarship student at the age of
nine, and Iris followed soon after, beginning her piano studies there. Practicing long
hours, they battled for prime
practice time on the one
Steinway grand
piano in their
suburban Long
Island
home.
They pursued
their own paths,
occasionally
playing duets for
informal family
gatherings. After one such
event in 1987,
they discovered
that despite disparate musical
training, their
bond as sisters
provided a remarkable sense of
shared artistic sensibilities and
that they were more simpatico
with each other than with any
other piano partner either of
them had experienced. Thus,
the Kaplan Duo was launched.
Nanette Kaplan Solomon,
pianist and Professor Emerita
of Music at Slippery Rock University, performs frequently as
a soloist and chamber musician.
She has presented lecture-recitals at the College Music Society
national meetings in San Diego,
Savannah, Cleveland, San Juan,
Denver, Kansas City, Miami,
Quebec City, San Antonio, Atlanta, Portland (OR), and Richmond (VA), and has performed
at the international conferences in Berlin, Vienna, Kyoto,
Limerick, Costa Rica, Madrid,
Bangkok, Zagreb, Croatia, and
Seoul, Korea. Dr. Solomon’s
involvement with the works of
women composers has led to
invitations to perform at several Feminist Theory and Music
conferences, the American Music/ American Women symposium in Boulder, Colorado, the
Athena Festival in Murray, Kentucky, as well as at six of the
International Festivals of
Women Composers held at In-

How To Make Informed
Healthcare Decisions
The typical healthcare patient has changed in recent
years. No longer are individuals putting all of their
healthcare decisions into the
hands of nurses and doctors.
Patients are more informed
than ever before and are interested in taking a more active role in their own care.
Thanks to the Internet,
people are able to access information that, in the past,
was not easily available. A few
decades ago, medical data
may have been elusive and
filled with confusing jargon
the layperson might not have
understood without a crash
course in biology. However,
today there are different Web
sites that clearly spell out information about certain illnesses and diseases. This
means that patients may no
longer be walking blindly into
appointments with doctors.
Facing an illness is never
easy, and the decision-making
abilities could be hampered
by emotions and the desire to
improve as quickly as possible. Patients who do not
have all of the facts may have
to rely solely on the expertise
of caregivers and physicians
when making important
healthcare decisions. By
knowing the avenues of information, a patient can find assistance with careful decisionmaking.
While learning about an ailment is important, there are
some things to consider.
• The Internet isn't foolproof. Many online medical
sites are very reliable and offer a wealth of pertinent information. They can be good
starting points when seeking
out information on a particular condition. It is in your best
interest to visit sites that are
well-known and monitored
by respected medical affiliations. Other sites may be peppered with exaggerated

claims or misinformation.
Therefore, do not go by
online information alone.
• Don't self-diagnose. It can
be easy to use the Internet as
a means to narrowing down
symptoms and making assumptions about what ailments you may have. Instead
of using the Internet to selfdiagnose your condition,
leave the diagnosis up to your
doctor and rely on online information after you are diagnosed. This can improve your
understanding of the condition and any potential treatment options.
• Seek other avenues of information. You should never
hesitate to seek a second
opinion or go to a published
medical journal to find out
more about a condition. You
have rights as a patient to be
comfortable with the advice
doctors give and be as involved in your treatment as
you want to be.
• Online forums could be
more harm than help. Many
people turn to online forums
and blogs to gain more insight into particular diseases.
While these forums may be
good sources of support, information published on these
sites could be misleading, inaccurate or unsafe. Before
trying any proposed treatment, it is best to consult with
your doctor.
Having a general knowledge of a medical condition
can enable healthcare consumers to make more informed decisions about their
situations.

The Best (and Worst) Foods
for Heart Health
No one wants to hear from their
doctors that they have joined the
millions of people across the
globe to be diagnosed with heart
disease. The Heart Foundation
reports that heart disease, which
includes diseases of the heart
and cardiovascular system and
stroke, is the No. 1 cause of death
in the United States, affecting
both men and women and most
racial/ethnic groups. Heart disease also is one of the leading
causes of death in Canada, claiming more than 33,000 lives per
year.
Many factors contribute to the
development of heart disease,
including smoking, lack of exercise and stress. Diet and whether
a person is overweight or obese
also can have a direct link to heart
health. Diet, particularly for
those with diabetes and poorly
controlled blood sugar levels, is
a major concern.
A variety of foods are considered helpful for maintaining a
strong and healthy heart and cardiovascular system, while others
can contribute to conditions that
may eventually lead to cardiovascular disease or cardiac arrest.

good stuff). Nuts also are a filling
source of protein and other
healthy nutrients.
•Whole grains: Whole grains
contain complex carbohydrates
for energy, as well as protein and
fiber. Fiber can help scrub cholesterol from the blood, lowering
bad cholesterol levels.
• Fatty fish: Many cold-water,
fatty fish, such as halibut, herring
and salmon, contain omega-3
fatty acids, which are hearthealthy. Omega-3s also can be
found in walnuts, flaxseed and
some soy products.
• Beans: Beans and other legumes are an excellent source of
protein and can be a stand-in for
meats that are high in saturated
fat. Beans also contain cholesterol-lowering soluble fiber and
folate, which can reduce blood
homocystein levels. The Bean Institute reports that consuming
beans may reduce cholesterol
levels by roughly six to 10 percent.
• Yogurt: Researchers in Japan
found yogurt may protect against
gum disease. Left untreated, gum
disease may elevate a person’s
risk for heart disease. Yogurt contains good bacteria that can counteract bad bacteria and boost immunity.
• Raisins: Raisins contain antioxidants that may help reduce inflammation. Inflammation is often
linked to heart disease and other
debilitating conditions. Fresh
produce also is a good source of
antioxidants.
Poor Foods
• Fried foods: Many fried foods
have little nutritional value, as
they tend to be high in saturated
and trans fats. French fries are
particularly bad because they are
carbohydrates fried and then
doused in salt.
• Sausage: Processed meats
have frequently earned a bad
reputation among cardiologists,
but sausage can be a big offender,
due in large part to its high saturated fat content.
• Red meats: Enjoying a steak
is probably not as bad as eating a
deep-fried brownie, but it’s best
to limit red meat consumption to
about 10 percent or less of your
diet. Red meats can have a considerable amount of cholesterol,
saturated fat and calories.
• Added sugars: Sugar can increase blood pressure and triglyceride levels. Sugar often hides
out in foods that you would not
associate with the sweetener.
Plus, many people unwittingly
consume too much sugar simply
through sugar-sweetened beverages and ready-to-eat cereals.
• Salty foods: Leave the salt
shaker in the spice cabinet and
opt for herbs for flavoring, advises
the American Heart Association.
High-sodium diets often are to
blame for hypertension, a major
risk factor for heart disease.
• Dairy: Artery-clogging saturated fat also can be found in dairy
products, particularly the full-fat
versions. Butter, sour cream and
milk can be problematic when
people overindulge. Opt for lowfat dairy when possible.

Physical
Therapy a
Vital Part
of Treatment
and Recovery
Illnesses of the musculoskeletal system can result in
temporary loss of mobility.
But physical therapy can help
to prevent those temporary
problems from becoming permanent.
The American Physical
Therapy Association says
physical therapists diagnose
and treat individuals of all ages who have conditions that limit
their abilities to perform functional activities. Limitations in
mobility may result from injury or illness or be present at birth.
Many physical therapists develop a plan to reduce pain and
restore function through various treatment techniques with the
ultimate goal of restoring a patient’s functional independence.
Physical therapists are licensed healthcare professionals who
must receive a degree from an accredited physical therapist program before taking national licensure exams that enable them
to open a practice or work in a facility. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics predicts a 30 percent growth in physical therapy careers
through 2018, which is a rate better than all other occupations.
Unemployment rates for physical therapists are very low, and
they are in high demand.
Physical therapists employ various physical modalities to help
with certain conditions. For example, a patient may be asked to
perform various range-of-motion exercises to restore function
to an injured part of the body. Physical therapists also may use
heat, cold and electrical impulses to reduce pain and stimulate
muscle function. Physical therapy sessions frequently include
some form of massage as well.
While athletes frequently rely on physical therapy as they
recover from injuries, others can benefit from physical therapy
as well. For example, physical therapy may work in conjunction
with other treatments for cardiopulmonary disease. The cardiopulmonary system delivers oxygen to active tissues, which plays
an important part in movement. When the cardiopulmonary
system is compromised, muscles and other tissues may not function as they should, and certain exercises and mobility therapies
may be needed. Physical therapists also aid in improving physical
ailments related to neurological diseases, such as cerebral palsy,
multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, Parkinson’s disease, and
Alzheimer’s disease. Physical therapists may also help treat poor
vision, poor balance and paralysis.
Children who have learning disabilities related to a neurological or physical condition may benefit from certain forms of
physical therapy. For example, vision problems can compromise
academic performance, so physical therapy that aims to enhance
visual tracking skills and strengthen the eyes in conjunction with
corrective lenses may help youngsters, or even adult students,
perform better in the classroom.
Very often physical therapy will be recommended by a general
doctor or an orthopedic surgeon as part of recovery from a
surgery or a condition. The therapist may work in conjunction
with another doctor to provide a program that helps foster a
faster and safe recovery. Physical therapy tends to begin gradually
and resistance is slowly built up as the body strengthens. The
length of physical therapy will depend on the condition and
the recommendation of the therapist and doctors overseeing
the treatments.

Sports Eye Safety Month
It is estimated that 40,000 sports-related eye injuries occur every year – 90 percent of which can be prevented.
April is Sports Eye Safety Month and the Laurel Eye Clinic
urges you and your family to use proper eye protection
while participating in sports and other physical activity.
From basketball to baseball, and from swimming to skiing, the risk of eye injury can vary, but in all sports and
activity the risk of injury can be greatly reduced by simply
using protective eyewear.
To reduce the risk of eye injury, our doctors recommend wearing protective eyewear made of an ultra-strong
polycarbonate, a highly impact-resistant plastic. In fact,
polycarbonate is 10 times more impact resistant than other
plastics. Eye protection is most important for those sports
that involve small, high velocity projectiles. However, no
matter the risk category of the sport, all athletes are encouraged to wear protective eyewear appropriate to their
sport. Sports are classified into four categories based on
the risk of sustaining an eye injury. High-risk sports include:
paintball, basketball, and racquetball. Moderate-risk sports
include: tennis, soccer, and golf. Low-risk sports do not
involve high-speed balls, swinging clubs or bats, or close
aggressive play, and include swimming and cycling. Safe
sports include track and field and gymnastics.
It is important to remember that glass lenses or regular
vision correcting contact lenses do not provide adequate
protection when participating in sports. In some situations,
they can even increase the risk or severity of eye injury.
In addition to polycarbonate eye protection, Laurel Eye
Clinic doctors always recommend sunglasses for outdoor
sports, such as skiing and waterskiing, to reduce the risk
of sun-related eye problems.Wearing sunglasses that filter
UVA and UVB sun rays can protect you from developing
ocular surface cancer and cataracts. Choose sunglasses
that: 1) reduce glare, 2) block 99 or 100 percent of UV rays,
and 3) are comfortable to wear.
Sport goggles must be properly fit to the individual wearer.This is particularly important with children, because the
normal temptation is to purchase a larger goggle than is
needed today so the youngster has “room to grow.”
Some growing room is acceptable, and sports goggles are
made to be somewhat flexible in their width adjustment.
But if the frames are too large and don’t fit properly, the
amount of protection they provide will be compromised,
increasing the risk of eye injury. It’s a risk not worth taking..
Both children and adults should wear activity-appropriate protective eyewear whenever possible.To help protect
children’s eyes, adults (e.g. parents, coaches) should be
positive role models for children by always wearing protective eye wear while engaging in sports, and by encouraging
children follow suit.
Cancer Screenings
Men Should Consider
Cancer screenings play an important role in cancer prevention. Screenings may not prevent people from getting cancer,
but they can detect the presence
of cancer before a person begins to experience any signs or
symptoms. Screenings also can
help doctors catch cancer before it metastasizes, or spreads,
to areas of the body outside the
area where it originated.
Many women get routine
mammograms to detect for
breast cancer, but women are
not the only ones who should
include cancer screenings in
their healthcare routines. Men
also can benefit from screenings, discussing the pros and
cons of each with their physicians during routine health examinations.
• Colon cancer: Men should
begin getting screened for colon cancer at age 50, though
those with family histories of
colon cancer or other colon
issues should begin even earlier, as family history increases
a manÕs risk of developing
colon cancer. Colon cancer
screenings may discover a type
of growth known as a polyp,
which is typically benign and
can be removed before it develops into cancer. The American
Cancer Society notes that men
have various options to choose
from with regard to screening
for colon cancer. Such options
include a colonoscopy, a stool
DNA test and a camera pill.
Speak to your physician about
these options and discuss your
family history, which will influence how frequently you need
to be screened for colon cancer.
• Lung cancer: Screening for
lung cancer is most important
for men who currently or recently smoked. The United States
Preventive Services Task Force
recommends annual screening
for lung cancer with low-dose
computed tomography (LDCT)
for men between the ages of 55
and 80 who have a 30 pack-year
smoking history and currently
smoke or have quit within the
past 15 years. Screening should
be discontinued once a man
has not smoked for 15 years or
has developed a health problem
that substantially limits a man’s
life expectancy or his ability or
willingness to undergo curative
lung surgery. (Note: Pack-year
history is calculated by multiplying
the number of packs of cigarettes
smoked per day by the number of
years the person has smoked.) The
ACS notes that the risks associated
with lung cancer screenings typically outweigh the benefits for men
who have never smoked or quit long
ago.
• Prostate cancer: The National
Cancer Institute notes that prostate cancer is the most common
nonskin cancer among men
in the United States. Being 50
years of age, black and/or having a brother, son or father who
had prostate cancer increase a
man’s risk of developing the
disease. The NCI notes that
screening tests for prostate cancer, which include a digital rectal exam and a prostate-specific
antigen test, come with risks, and
men should discuss these risks and
the potential benefits of prostate
cancer screenings before deciding
to be screened.
Cancer screenings can detect
cancer in its earliest stages, and as
men get older, they should discuss
their screening options with their
physicians.
