With a theme of Working Smoke Alarms Save Lives: Test Yours
Every Month, Fire Prevention Week runs Oct. 5-11; however, the
push for fire safety goes well beyond a mere seven days each
calendar year, officials say.
We want citizens to realize that this is not just about a special
week, it is all the timewe want to raise awareness every day of the
week all year long, said Menomonee Falls Assistant Fire Chief Jim
Mollet. We strive to make fire safety a daily
message.
But for this particular weekestablished by the
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) in
1922 to commemorate the Great Chicago Fire
which began Oct. 8, 1871fire safety becomes the
hot topic.
During that period we try to visit every
educational institution in the village and focus on
proper exit routines and teach things like what to
do if your clothes catch fire, said Mollet. Today
more than ever before, with new products out there
and more electronics in the home, the dangers are there.
The danger in 1871, legend has it, was Catherine O'Learys cow
which kicked over a lamp and set the family barn, and eventually the
whole city of Chicago, on fire. According to the NFPAwebsite, the
incident killed more
than 250 people, left
100,000 homeless,
destroyed more than
17,400 structures
and burned more
than 2,000 acres.
As if this wasnt
bad enough, the
Peshtigo Firewhich
occurred the exact
same dayleft far
more wreckage in its
wake. The most devastating forest fire in American history, the
northeast Wisconsin blaze killed 1,152 people, burned down 16
towns and destroyed 1.2 million acres.
It is precisely these horrific numbers that make fire safety an
essential lifestyle.
What this week is designed to do is remind everyone that even
a little fire can get out of control and cause tremendous damage,
said Germantown Fire Chief Gary Weiss. We start the message in
the grade schools because it is so crucial to get into the habit of fire
safety at a young age and keep it as a habit for the rest of your life.
Although tragic, these two great blazes brought about the huge
positive of fire safety as a mainstream message.

Falls Teen Earns Eagle Scout Ranking
with Project at Local Church
By Nikki Ackerman
Staff Writer
When Nick Wagner started brainstorming ideas
for his Eagle Scout project, he knew exactly where
he would focus his efforts.
I knew that I wanted to give back to the
Lutheran Church of The Prince of Peace in
Menomonee Falls, explained the 17-year-old
ingoing senior at Menomonee Falls High School.
They have been generous hosts to my troop (Boy
Scout Troop 109) for many years so a project to
benefit them seemed like a great way to say thank
you.
Nick reached out to church leaders and was informed that their
youth group would love an outdoor fire pit with bench seating.
This sounded like an exciting, useful, and lasting project, which
is what led me to select it, he said.
The Scout took on the challenge one step at a time, learning some
very useful lessons along the way.
Throughout my project, I was faced with situations that required
problem-solving and continuous planning/communication, he said.
I learned the importance of always taking charge of the situation,
even when there are professionals involved. Additionally, an
effective leader should trust, but verify. Even with the best
intentions, people may inadvertently work against each other if
careful leadership is not employed.
Due to some honest miscalculations, the project, for all practical
purposes, had to be done twice. It was first completed in the
summer of 2012, and for the second and final time earlier this year.
After digging the post holes, it slipped my mind to tamp down
the dirt at the bottom, Nick humbly acknowledged. Further, I did
not know that one should have a layer of stone/gravel at the bottom
of the hole before pouring concrete. These two slip-ups led to
somewhat severe settling, which in turn led to another summer of
work.
However, Nick viewed the re-do as a growth opportunity rather
than a setback. I am most proud of the fact that we did the project
twice, he said.
Another highlight was during the final work day, Nick shared.
After running into one difficulty after another that morning, and
the chances of finishing the project that weekend looking dim, it
was incredibly rewarding to see my volunteers rally and finish
strong, he said. Though I never had expected to essentially
complete this project twice, I am extremely pleased with the final
result.
In total, 271 hoursvolunteered by Scouts from Nicks troop and
adult Scout leaders both his and other troopswent into the project.
Overall, I received help from 51 different people, the Scout
said.
With an initial budget prediction of $1,600, Nick
ended up receiving $2,500 in donationsalong with
donations of materials and equipmentafter reaching
out to friends and family with a letter explaining his
project.
I was amazed by the generosity I encountered,
even from store owners whom I had never met, and
I would encourage future Scouts to remember that
many people may be willing to donate or offer you
discounts towards your Eagle Project, he said.
Nickwho lives in the village with parents Jim
and Terri and sister Rebecca, who will be a junior at
the same high schoolhas been involved in Scouting
since first grade.
Being a Scout has offered me so many leadership development
opportunities, he said. I've also become comfortable with public
speaking, and of course I have learned countless outdoor skills as
well.
Scouting has been just one of the many achievements and
interests in the well-rounded teens life.
The straight-A studentwho has played piano since
kindergartenis also president of Amnesty International and
National Honor Society and a member of Future Business Leaders
of America and the Spanish Honor Society. He has been on the
varsity downhill ski racing team since freshman year and joined the
rock climbing team during his junior year. As a sophomore he
attended Conserve School, a one-semester long
Outdoors/Environmentally focused enrichment boarding school in
Northern Wisconsin.
As he looks ahead to
a bright future, Nick will
take with him a lifetime
of Scouting and the
knowledge that he
earned the highest Boy
Scout rank with a job
well done.
Though my project
wound up being a lot
more involved than I
had expected, I did
manage to enjoy it, he
said. It will be a long-
lasting facility that can
be used and appreciated
for many years, and I
could not be more proud
of it.
(Family Features) For
many families, clothing
represents the largest share of
back-to-school expenses
each year. The amount of
money that goes into a new
school wardrobe paired with
the reality that kids tend to be
careless about their stained
clothing can be daunting, but
with proper care, you can
take steps to better protect
your investment.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, approximately $8.5 billion
was spent in family clothing stores in August 2012, the latest data
available. This compares to approximately $2 billion spent in
bookstores during the same timeframe, highlighting the significant
investment families make in new clothing to send kids back-to-
school in style.
You can keep your family's clothes in tip-top shape year-round by
following the advice of the maker of OxiClean(tm):
Start fresh. New clothes, especially those that are deeply hued,
are notorious for bleeding dye during their initial washings. Protect
new garments, and old ones too, by grouping like-colored new items
and washing them according to tag instructions. Even clothing that
is not at risk of bleeding should be washed before wearing to remove
any potential irritants and germs accumulated through handling on
store racks.
Take pre-wash precautions. Give clothing a quick scan before
tossing it in the washer to identify and pretreat any stains before
they've been washed, dried and set into the fabric. Also check
pockets for any overlooked items. Shredding tissue or a leaking pen
can lead to more time spent washing and cleaning clothes.
Help keep clothes looking like new longer. Kids' clothes attract
stains like honey attracts bees. With a quality detergent, you can
keep your whites bright and colors vibrant while fighting even
tough, dried-on stains. For getting rid of stains such as grass, soil,
chocolate and tomato sauce, try OxiClean(tm) Laundry Detergent
in liquid, single-dose paks or powder. It combines powerful, color-
safe OxiClean stain fighters, whiteners and a long-lasting fresh scent
to deep-clean and freshen your whole wash.
Sort and learn. Get the kids involved after school or on the
weekends and invite them to help out with simple, age-appropriate
laundry tasks. Have them help sort clothes by colors or match pairs
of socks when they come out of the dryer.
Share the load. Most families have a fairly consistent way of
grouping loads of laundrywhites, darks, linens and so on. Make a
list of your most common loads and instructions for handling each,
and post it in your laundry room so others can help when the need
arises. Be sure to include details such as the proper detergents and
pre-treaters to use and settings for temperature and cycle for both the
washer and dryer. As safety is first, always triple-check that all
detergents are out of reach of children.

Squeaky Clean Tips:
Care for your family's back-to-school wardrobe
On the 40th anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire, the Fire
Marshals Association of North America (now known as the
International Fire Marshals Association) decided to start observing
the tragedy in a way that drives home the importance of fire
prevention, and according to the National Archives and Records
Administration's Library Information Center, Fire Prevention Week
is the longest running public health and safety observance on record.
The week is observed on the Sunday through Saturday period in
which Oct. 9 falls and each year has a specific area of focus.
This year we are really emphasizing the importance of having
working smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in the
houseone of every floor of the home and one in every bedroom,
said John Delain, public education coordinator for the Germantown
Fire Department.
Delain went on to offer a few useful tips: change the batteries
every Daylight Savings time; clean the detectors with a vacuum or
canned air once per month; and test them regularly.
Its very important to make sure the detectors are working at all
times, he said.
In conjunction with the Safe Kids Coalition of Southeast
Wisconsin and Dominos Pizza, the department is running a program
called Delivering Fire Safety.
On Oct. 23, several pre-registered participants (registration forms
will be available at the Safety Fair as well as on Dominos boxes)
will receive a surprise visit from village firefighters. Those who
have working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors will receive a
free large, one-topping pizza and those who do not will receive a
working smoke detector.
We will go and check their house and teach them about fire and
carbon monoxide safety while we are there, said Delain. Its just
another way to get the word out to the community.
Area events include:
Germantown Fire Safety FairSaturday, Oct. 4, 10:30 a.m. to
3:30 p.m., at Fire Station #2, N115 W18752 Edison Drive. The event
will include a variety of childrens and family activities, including a
Sparky Bounce House, a visit by Flight for Life, a display of fire
trucks and the Survive Alive House. Food and beverages will be
available for purchase.
West Bend Open HouseSaturday, Oct. 11, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., at
Station #1, 325 N. 8th Avenue (located at the corner of 7th Avenue
and Washington Street). The open house will give the public an
opportunity to meet their local firefighters, experience the Fire
Safety House, tour the station and complete a fire safety quiz for a
chance to win breakfast with the firefighters. T-shirts and
refreshments will be available for purchase to raise money for Chix
for a Cause for breast cancer awareness.

(Family Features) Thanks to a provision in the Patient Protection
and Affordable Care Act, efforts are underway to streamline
licensing for medications known as "biosimilars," which are
similarbut not identicalto cutting-edge biologic medicines.
However, the development has some concerned about patient safety,
especially among older Americans who tend to suffer from more
chronic diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.
According to the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA), a biosimilar is highly similar
to a U.S.-licensed biological product (a wide range
of items including vaccines, blood and blood
components, allergenics, somatic cells, gene therapy,
tissues and proteins) that may have minor differences
in clinically inactive components, but (supposedly)
no clinically meaningful differences in terms of the
safety, purity and potency. This is difficult to ensure
because both biologics and biosimilars are derived
from complex living organisms. Even different
production facilities, shipping, or storage could
create meaningful differences.
Again, biosimilars are highly similar but not
identical to their biologic originator and should not
be confused with generics. Generic medicines are
traditional pharmaceutical medicines and have the
same exact active ingredient as their originator; therefore patients
can be switched easily from one to the other with the same outcome.
However, it is possible that a biologic and a nearly identical
biosimilar could have different reactions for the same patient.
A few weeks ago the FDA accepted the first application for a
biosimilar, yet they have not released the safety standards, under
which a biosimilar will be approved, an important step toward
licensing these medicines for sale in the U.S. market.
With this important step on the horizon, some groups are focused
on the importance of patient safeguards for biosimilar medications.
RetireSafe, a leading grassroots organization advocating on behalf
of America's seniors, recently commissioned a survey on the issue.
"When it comes to
new biosimilar drugs,
people are rightly
concerned and want to
keep their drugs safe and
effective," said Thair
Phillips, RetireSafe
president. "A series of
c o m m o n - s e n s e
safeguards around new
medicines in the form of
a 'Safe Medicines Bill of
Rights' will help protect
vulnerable patients, in
particular older
Americans whose health
needs make them
especially reliant on prescription medications."
The RetireSafe survey found several significant gaps in
knowledge and understanding among consumers, particularly
regarding the relationship between biosimilars and generics, and
how substitutions may be handled.
The survey also found overwhelming support for a strong set of
patient safeguards:
92 percent supported a requirement that drug companies test the
safety of biosimilars for all conditions the drug will be used to treat.
86 percent wanted a requirement that human clinical trials be
conducted to ensure a given biosimilar is safe.
90 percent supported a requirement that the name of the
biosimilar be different than the original biologic medicine to allow
for adequate tracking of any adverse reactions.
91 percent want physicians be notified when a biosimilar is
substituted for the original biologic drug they prescribed for their
patient.
94 percent believe that patients should be notified when a
biosimilar is substituted for the original drug prescribed by their
doctor.

play in your future health care, visit www.retiresafe.org or

time to enjoy the season, said Takacs, who is preparing for hundreds
of Meadowbrook visitors this month.
Fall is the time when no matter how old you are, that kid in you
can come out and have fun, he said. For me its about watching
people pick out their pumpkin and hearing the screams in the
cornfield. You just get to be a kid again.

(Family Features) Aday in the classroom, playing out on the
field after school, and completing homework at night requires
the right foods to fuel such activities. But unhealthy choices lurk
around every corner, making the task of getting kids to eat a
balanced and healthful diet a daunting one.
"Junk food is winning the war on grabbing the attention
of Americans, particularly our kids," said Jeff Dunn,
president and CEO of Bolthouse Farms. "Our hope is to
drive a lasting love of better-for-you foods that kids want to
eat and moms can feel good about."
Snack time tips
Here are some tips to help you keep your kitchen stocked
with the best foods for fueling little learners.
Look for easy options: Every busy parent knows that
getting more fruits and vegetables into their kid's diet isn't
easy - and spending an evening chopping up snacks may
not be an option. Luckily, new products are popping up in
the refrigerated section at the local store targeted
specifically for kids. Skip the chips and grab fresh veggies
with Bolthouse Farms Kids(tm) Veggie Snackers,
individual-sized bags of baby carrots in two flavorful
varieties.
Keep healthy options on hand: Make smart snacking
easy by always having better-for-you food choices readily
available and easy for even the youngest eaters to serve
themselves. For example, place a bowl filled with bananas,
oranges and apples at the kitchen table for an easy-to-grab snack
the whole family can enjoy.
Send them off with sensible sweets: It's easy to swap junk
food sweets with other choices that allow kids to still enjoy their
favorite flavors. For an on-the-go treat perfect for breakfast and
beyond, pack a creamy and flavorful drink, such as the Bolthouse
Farms Kids(tm) Smoothies. These portable, kid-sized smoothies
serve up 1 1/2 servings of fruit per 6-ounce bottle, and are
available in two delicious flavors.
Practice proper portions: When packing a lunch or snack,
always follow recommended serving guidelines and place only
that amount in a re-sealable baggie or lunchbox. This will help
children understand portion control at an early age.
Pump up the play factor: Creative moms know that getting
kids to eat better often requires a little inventive thought. Whether
you call broccoli florets "trees" or cut up other fruits and veggies
into fun shapes, children are more receptive to playful snacking.
Many new products exist that take nutritious ingredients to a fun-
filled level, such as the Bolthouse Farms Kids(tm) Fruit Tubes.
Available in three sweet flavors, these squeezable tubes are filled
with fruit puree blends that can be chilled or frozen for a delicious
treat.
Follow these tips to properly fuel your student and they'll learn
nutrition essentials for a healthier future. For more ideas to get
your kids to eat better, visit www.bolthousefarms.com.

Embrace the Outdoors With Your Canine Companion
Pet owners love their
four-legged friends. In
fact, many are considered
a part of the family.
However, one thing that
dog and cat lovers hate are
the fleas that ultimately
find their way onto their
beloved pet and into the
home.
"Protecting your dog
from fleas is an important
part of responsible pet
care," says Caryn Stichler,
vice president of
marketing for Sergeant's
Pet Care Products. "Fleas
cause distress for pets, and
can cause a condition
called Flea Allergy
Dermatitis."
Fleas, which can live
both inside and outside of
the home, can transmit
tapeworms to animals, and
their bites commonly
cause skin irritation and
itching. In fact, if you see
your pet twisting into
pretzle-like shapes trying
to scratch certain body
parts, chances are they
have an allergy to the
saliva of fleasor flea allergy dermatitis.
The best approach to managing an infestation is prevention.
Giving your pet frequent baths, regularly cleaning your pet's
bedding and vacuuming furniture, rugs and floors will help break
the flea's life cycle.
"It is important to start treatment before there is a flea
problem," says Stichler. "One or two fleas can quickly become
hundreds of fleas on your pet, so treating fleas fast is important."
If your pet has flea problems, you may want to consider
treating your pet with an over-the-counter solution. For those pet
owners seeking an alternative to topical flea medication, oral
tablets such as FastCaps (nitenpyram), from the makers of
PetArmor, is the solution.
FastCaps contain nitenpyram, the same veterinarian-
recommended active ingredient found in Capstar (nitenpyram),
and begins working in 30 minutes to kill adult fleas on your pet.
The fast-acting oral tablet, which can be found at discount
retailers, works for dogs and cats that are two pounds or greater
and four weeks of age or older.
To learn more about FastCaps, visit www.petarmor.com.

Portable vs. Standby Generators
"Beyond preparing an emergency kit, purchasing a portable generator or
installing a standby generator is the simplest way to keep the power on and
ensure a family stays safe when a strong storm or other emergency knocks
utility power offline," Grandy said. "Understanding the distinction between
these options will help any family determine which is the better choice for
their home."
Aportable generator is an immediate, but temporary, solution. Aportable
gas generator is less expensive than a standby unit and doesn't require
installation time. Its benefits have limits, as it can only power a few home
appliances for a few hours before needing refueling.
A standby generator with an automatic transfer switch provides a
seamless and permanent backup power solution. It is professionally installed
outside the home and can power more of your home's appliances for long
periods of time. Powered by natural gas or liquid propane, recent power
management technology has allowed homes to still receive whole-house
backup electricity, but with a smaller, more affordable generator than in years
past.
With an emergency kit on hand and the right backup power source
available, the frustration of weathering a storm can be greatly lessened. Visit
www.briggsandstratton.com to learn more about backup power options.
(Family Features) Americans who have recently endured a prolonged
power outage at home are much more likely to improve their family's
emergency preparation for the future, according to a recent report.
A2014 survey conducted by Harris Poll on behalf of Briggs & Stratton
found almost one in four U.S. adults had endured a power outage lasting 12
hours or more in the last two years. That experience motivated two-thirds of
respondents to be more prepared for future incidents, according to the survey.
"The high percentage of respondents who took action to better prepare
their families and homes for future emergency situations really underscores
the level of frustration a power outage can cause families who aren't properly
prepared," said Amanda Grandy, with Briggs & Stratton.
Your Preparedness Checklist: Planning Ahead
When you have advance warning of a potential loss of power, which
is often caused by a strong weather system, there are many steps families
can take to minimize the stress it can cause. The Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) recommends that you create an emergency
preparedness plan with a checklist of items:
Make sure your gas tank is full
Fill plastic bags with water and place them in the freezer
Stop by the bank to ensure you have some cash on hand
Fill prescriptions that are approaching their refill date
Disasters, however, don't always come with prior notice, so having an
emergency kit prepared ahead of time is the surest way to protect your
family. Be sure to include items such as:

(Family Features) There's no time like fall to experiment with new
recipes, especially those savory and sweet comfort dishes that highlight
the season's favorite fruitapples. Delicious when spread over a warm slice
of fresh-baked bread, apple butter is also an unexpected but ideal ingredient
for creating rich flavors in baked, cooked and grilled dishes that add
warmth to any meal.
Traditional apple butter is made by simmering apples long and slow in
kettles with sugar, apple cider and spices. This classic Pennsylvania Dutch
spread is essentially a concentrated, spiced apple sauce and contains no
dairy butter. The classic brown color reflects the apples' sugar caramelizing
during the slow cooking process.
While apple butter makes an excellent spread, with up to 70 percent
fewer calories than peanut butter and traditional dairy butter, it's also an
easy way to instantly introduce fall flavors into your favorite dishes,
whether dinner or dessert.
Bring the flavors of fall to your table with these simple, homestyle
recipes. One blends the spicy notes of apple butter with pork in a simple,
comforting crock pot dinner. The other offers a sweet apple-infused twist
on traditional pecan rollsmade even easier with Musselman's Apple
Butterwhich is made the old-fashioned way for perfect texture and taste.
It's never been easier to whip up comfort cuisine right in your own kitchen.
For more recipes featuring apple butter, visit www.musselmans.com.

In many parts of the country, the leaves have
started to fall, and parents have sent their children
back to school. Before the weather takes a turn,
Firestone Complete Auto Care would like to
offer the following car maintenance tips to get
vehicles ready for the damp, cold road ahead.
Take your vehicle for a full check up. As the
fall weather rolls in, it's important to have the
following items checked by a professional:
battery cables and terminals, belts and hoses, air
filters, windshield wipers and all fluids, including
anti-freeze, oil, brake fluid, power steering fluid,
automatic transmission fluid and windshield
washer fluid.
Take a good look at your tires. Are there
signs of uneven tread wear? That could indicate
under-inflation, unbalanced tires or misaligned
wheels. Remember to check your tire pressure
with a gauge at least once a month and regularly
inspect the tread depth. Your tread will be even more important
during the autumn months when wet, dead leaves cover the
roadways.
Take care of your lights and turn signals. Fall, along with less
favorable weather, also means it's time to turn the clocks back for
daylight savings. With a shorter day comes a longer night, so be sure
your headlights, taillights and turn signals are in proper working
order and shining at the appropriate levels.
Talk to your teenager. Have a teenager in the house? Worried
about all the driving they will be doing during the fall? You can't
teen-proof your neighborhood, but you can talk to your teen about
safe driving before they head to school. Teens Drive Smart, a teen
driver safety initiative from Bridgestone Americas, the parent
company to Bridgestone Retail Operations, LLC, which owns and
operates Firestone Complete Auto Care, has tips and resources for
parents to help start a conversation with their teens about smart
driving. Visit www.TeensDriveSmart.com for more information.
Remember, not only can taking these small steps keep your
vehicle running newer, longer, but they can also help keep you and
your family safe on the road.
