From the desk of Dr. Cathy Beck,, Director of CC Schools
WELCOME BACK! I have always been told that I had a big heart for children but little did I know that I had a big heart, literally! Several years ago I was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy-wow, that is a big word! If we were to break that word down we would see that cardio refers to your heart, myopathy means muscle weakness. Your heart is one big muscle! For people who have cardiomyopathy, the heart gets enlarged and continues to grow bigger and bigger. The good news for me is that there is medicine for me to take to control the disease! There are many things I must do to take care of my heart. These can include: •Eating a healthy diet. •Being active with exercise. •Staying at a healthy weight. •Do not smoke or be around secondhand smoke. •Monitor and control your blood pressure and cholesterol. •Manage stress. It is never too early to begin taking care of your health. Good choices become habits and good habits lead to good health! Happy health to all of you! Always, Dr. Beck Let’s Talk Trash! news is now in its 8th year publishing! Let’s Talk Trash! news continues to be made possible with the County Sheriff’s T.D.O.T. Litter education grant funds and continuing sponsorships by local businesses, as well as the county school system’s endorsement. An educational publication, Let’s Talk Trash news is actually the largest circulated newspaper in the county with 10,500 issues printed for each of the five issues during the school year. Litter removal is a $19 million dollar expense for the state each year! By informing and educating our youth through a fun and engaging printed publication, our mission is to instill this message at an early age, thereby creating responsible new behaviors and habits as they grow into adulthood.
