From May through August, most of us are spending more time in the pools, lakes and ponds. It's also when the majority of problems with water safety happen.
Experts say, if you can, try and swim in an area that is supervised by a lifeguard. And when children are out on the water in a boat, they should always wear a personal flotation device.
"That's something that all kids in boats should be doing...wearing a life jacket. It's a very simple thing to do. And so many of these accidents, we call them accidents, are really preventable. 90-percent of childhood accidents and injuries are preventable,"
The American Red Cross has some tips for you and your family to stay safe in the water this summer. The first thing you can do is learn how to swim well.
If you have children, never leave them unattended when they are near water. This is a big one. Things can go wrong in an in instant. Children are naturally curious, and sometimes that can have deadly results. Experts say keep the kids at an arms length.
And know when it is too dangerous to swim. If you or someone you're with is too cold, too hot, or had too much activity, then it's time to head for shore. |

Cleaning Home-Home Hygiene Guide |
|
 Ever wonder how often you should toss or replace items around the house? Some common household items accumulate dust, dirt and mold more quickly than others. Here's the skinny on which should get your frequent attention so they don't become infested with germs:
Air Filters: Your air conditioning filter accumulates dirt and dust. Those airborne contaminants are an allergy and asthma sufferers worst enemies and may be responsible for recirculation illness. Change disposable filters monthly, or wash reusable filters in hot soapy water and air dry before replacing.
Cutting Boards: The Environmental Protection Agency says soap and water will effectively kill the bacteria on a cutting board surface. Try a scrubby brush for nicks and crannies. Keep a separate vegetable and meat board, and replace wood boards when they're fairly nicked up. Once plastic and wooden boards are cut up, even a thorough cleaning won't eliminate all germs deep down.
Food Storage: Tasting or sniffing that container of yogurt in the back of your refrigerator isn't always the best way to judge if it's still good. You can take the guesswork out by using our printable food safety storage timeline from Texas A&M University that tells you how long foods can be saved for.
Pillows: The National Library of Medicine recommends replacing pillows every three years. Since pillows collect dander and body oils, they're a breeding ground for dust mites -- a major cause of allergies and upper respiratory infections. Cleaning them is nearly impossible since fibers break down, mat up and, over time, won't offer neck and head support. Wash your pillowcases at least once a week to keep your skin clean and clear.
Sheets: Launder weekly in warm to hot water to keep bed bugs -- microscopic bugs that like to live in linens and mattresses -- at bay.
Sponges: Kitchen sponges are a breeding ground for germs. Wash them nightly in the dishwasher, or microwave the sponge until steam starts to rise (about 30 seconds) to disinfect. Watch carefully to avoid causing a fire. Replace your sponges every week or two; otherwise, you'll spread bacteria all over your kitchen -- the dirtiest room in the house.
Toothbrushes: Worn or fractured bristles harbor germs that can be transferred right back into your teeth and gums. Let your toothbrush air dry in the upright position to keep fungus from flourishing. Toothbrushes should be kept an inch apart from one another so as not to trade germs and also kept away from the toilet. Bacteria from the toilet become airborne from every flush, so your best bet is to close the lid first. Rinse your brush periodically in a disinfecting mouthwash, and replace it every three months or after a cold or illness
Towels: Reusing bath towels several times conserves energy, but launder in hot water after two uses. The humidity of the bathroom from your hot showers keeps your towels moist -- a perfect place to harbor bacteria. Change bathroom and kitchen hand towels weekly. |

Glenwood Springs, Colorado |
|
At the confluence of the Colorado and Roaring Fork rivers, the historic resort town of Glenwood Springs is famed for its Glenwood Hot Springs Pool, thrilling rides at Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park, snow sports at Sunlight Mountain Resort, world-class fishing and rafting and miles of scenic paved recreation paths.
The Glenwood Hot Springs Pool, established in 1888, is the world's largest outdoor mineral pool, famous for its healing thermal waters and its size of more than two city blocks long. At the nearby Yampah Spa & Vapor Caves, you can soothe away muscle aches in underground caverns - a natural geothermal steam bath - just like the Ute Indians did centuries ago. Or take a 10-minute tram ride up to Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park where you can view amazing crystalline formations on a tour of its mountain caves. Gentle activities here include panning for gemstones, while adrenaline-junkies love the giant swing that launches riders 1,300 feet over the Colorado River.
No matter what your sport - hiking, biking, golfing, whitewater rafting, kayaking, horseback riding, paragliding or fly-fishing - you can enjoy it in Glenwood Springs. One favorite in-town hike brings you to the memorial of famous gunslinger Doc Holliday; history buffs also enjoy the Hotel Colorado, where Teddy Roosevelt once stayed.
Winter snows attract skiers, riders and snowshoers. Glenwood Springs is located on the Western Slope of Colorado between Vail and Aspen. Its local ski area, Sunlight Mountain Resort, has 67 trails covering more than 470 acres of terrain with a vertical drop of 2,000 feet for snow riders of all abilities.
A distinctive downtown and the Glenwood Meadows offer diverse shopping. Massage and spa treatments are a great way to relax at the end of a day of activity in Glenwood Springs. Dining options at more than 60 area restaurants and bars include casual brewpubs, Cajun cuisine, traditional steakhouses, French restaurants, authentic Mexican, Latin dishes and more.
Glenwood Springs is celebrating its 125th birthday! There are many events and a special restaurant and retail promotion to celebrate.
