It's wintertime again — when temperatures take a dive. But don't let your health take a dive, too
Frigid temperatures can be dangerous without the proper precautions. The colder it gets outside, the more energy your body needs to remain warm. And if your occupation requires you to work outdoors, you may face a greater risk for certain cold-related problems, such as hypothermia (low body temperature) and frostbite (freezing of the skin).
On Monday, Feb. 25, from 7 to 8 p.m. at the Ada First Presbyterian Church, the Liberty Belles and Boys 4-H Club will be host sign-up night for returning and new members.
New members must be 8 years old and in the 3rd grade as of Jan. 1, 2019. Any youth age 9 or above are eligible also. There will be $10 club dues and $6 per project book due at the sign-up night. Please contact Susan Rorabaugh at 419-544-8525 with any questions.

Women often avoid discussing accidental bowel leakage, also known as fecal incontinence. The subject often seems taboo. Women may think they are the only ones suffering with it and become too embarrassed to talk about it.
