Booze Sometimes, a hunting falcon would eat or drink too much and be “fed up.” This would happen when they would drink from a bowl called a “bows.” (The process was also referred to as “bows.”) Over time, the term “bows” shifted to “booze” — and this term became associated with drinking too much alcohol or getting drunk. Nowadays, “booze” is a noun that refers to alcoholic drinks. Old Codger Sometimes, a hunting falcon would be carried around on a mobile perch which was called a

“cadge.” The person who carried around the cadge was referred to as the “cadger.” This was usually an older hunter who was too old for regular hunting activities. Over time, the pronunciation of “cadger” shifted to “codger,” which is now used to refer to an “old codger.” –Tom Askeroth WORK COMP CORNER

Summer is here, and with it comes higher temperatures and an increased risk of heat-related illness in the workplace. THE DANGERS OF HEAT- RELATED ILLNESSES Heat-related illnesses can range from mild heat cramps to life-threatening heat stroke, and it’s important to be aware of the symptoms and know how to prevent and treat these illnesses. Heat cramps are the mildest form of heat illness and consist of painful muscle cramps and spasms that occur during or after intense exercise and sweating in high heat. Heat exhaustion is more severe than heat cramps and results from a loss of water and salt in the body due to excessive heat and sweating without adequate fluid and salt replacement. Heat stroke is the most severe form of heat illness, occurring when the body’s heat-regulating system is overwhelmed by excessive heat. This can be life-threatening, and if you or someone you know may be experiencing a heat stroke, professionals recommend you seek immediate medical attention. To protect yourself from heat-related illnesses while working, drink plenty of fluids, dress in lightweight and light-colored clothing, and take frequent breaks from activity. Also, try to plan vigorous work-related activities for cooler parts of the day, such as early morning or late evening.

• 1/2 tbsp salt • 1 tbsp pepper • 2 tbsp olive oil

Directions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together yogurt, Dijon mustard, and dill to make the dill sauce. Set aside. 2. Drain the salmon, then remove and discard the bones and skin. In a large bowl, mix the salmon, celery, onion, eggs, salt, and pepper. Form the mixture into 8 patties. Coat a medium skillet with olive oil and heat it over medium-high heat. Cook the patties until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. 3. Put a dollop of the dill sauce on top of each patty and serve.

By taking the right precautions, children can have a safe and fun summer and avoid the risk of heat-related illnesses.
