What better way to start the new year by saving money at your favorite
local restaurants and businesses! Why $hop $mall? When local businesses
prosper they employ local residents, contribute revenue in the communities
they operate in and help to keep local property taxes lower because they
are successful. Without healthy area business, residents bear the cost of
community services .

6 Tips to Stay Healthy

The winter season and holidays are a great opportunity to enjoy time with family and friends, celebrate life, to be
grateful, and reflect on what’s important. They are also a time to appreciate the gift of health. Here are some holiday
tips to support your efforts for health and safety this season.

Wash your hands often - Keeping hands clean is one of the most important steps you can take to avoid getting sick and
spreading germs to others. Wash your hands with soap and clean running water, and rub them together for at least 20 seconds.
Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. If you don’t have tissue, cough or sneeze into your upper
sleeve or elbow, not your hands.

Stay Warm - Cold temperatures can cause serious health problems, especially in
infants and older adults. Stay dry, and dress warmly in several layers.

Get Check-ups and Vaccinations - Exams and screenings can help find potential problems early, when the chances for

treatment and cure are often better. Vaccinations help prevent diseases and save lives. Schedule a visit with your health care
provider or participate in the Health Department’s Screening events for needed exams and screenings. Ask your doctor or local
health department what vaccinations and tests you should get based on your age, lifestyle, travel plans, medical history, and
family health history.

Prevent Injuries - Injuries can happen anywhere, and some often occur around the holidays. Use step stools instead of climbing
on furniture when hanging decorations. Most residential fires occur during the winter months. Keep candles away from children,
pets, walkways, trees, and curtains. Never leave fireplaces, stoves, or candles unattended. Don't use generators, grills, or other
gasoline- or charcoal-burning devices inside your home or garage. Install a smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector in your
home. Test them once a month, and replace batteries twice a year.

Handle and Prepare Food Safely - As you prepare holiday meals, keep yourself and your family safe from food-related illness.
Wash hands and surfaces often. Avoid cross- contamination by keeping raw meat, poultry, seafood, and eggs (including their
juices) away from ready-to-eat foods and eating surfaces. Cook foods to the proper temperature. Refrigerate promptly. Do not
leave perishable foods out for more than two hours.

Eat Healthy and be Active - With balance and moderation, you can enjoy the holidays the healthy way. Choose with balance
and moderation, you can enjoy the holidays the healthy way. Choose fresh fruit as a festive and sweet substitute for candy. Limit
fats, salt, and sugary foods. Find fun ways to stay active, such as dancing to your favorite holiday music. Be active for at least 2½
hours a week. Help kids and teens be active for at least 1 hour a day.

KINGII DRAGON ROBOT WORKSHOP

Ages 8-14 Cost $150
Municipal building café 5pm -7pm
Tues. , Feb 7, 14, 21, 28

Build and take home your very own Kingii Dragon Robot! Based on the chalamydosaurus
kingii, or frilled lizard, this robot is a smart super lizard with artificial intelligence (AI) and
one of the wackiest lizards to roam planet Earth! Kingii Dragon Robot has an infrared
sensor that is programmed for two different modes. If it is activated in the “escape” mode,
the robot will feel threatened, gape its mouth, dramatically spread and flap its frill,
illuminate its bi-color LED eyes, and scurry away to safety! In the “follow-me” mode, the
robot will assess danger by bluffing the attacker. When the robot does not sense danger it
might approach you like a pet lizard. You will also team up with your classmates to build a
6-foot long Crocosaur! Using the wireless remote, watch as this 5-motor, battery operated
robot crawls across the room. If you’re a young lizard enthusiast and you love robots, then
this workshop is for you!
