You can take care of your bones, no matter your age! Protect your bones with a well-balanced diet, including calcium and vitamin D; get regular exercise; avoid smoking and limit alcohol.
Weight-bearing and muscle-strengthening exercises build and maintain bone density. Recent studies show that Yoga can strengthen bones and improve bone density.
- Yoga is low impact, putting less stress on the bones than many other forms of exercise.
- Longer holds in standing postures are “weight-bearing”.
- Yoga improves balance and prevent falls. Less falls, means less potential for broken bones.
- Yoga stretches all muscles, including those that support the joints.
- The action of working and stretching muscles against the bone helps promote bone growth. And stronger muscles puts less strain on joints.
- Yoga increases range of motion and brings synovial fluid to the moveable joints.
- Ease of movement with strength and balance reduces the chance of falling.

| Dan Jaffe, UW professor named to EPA air quality experts Photo courtesy UW Bothell |
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has named University of Washington Bothell’s Dan Jaffe, a professor of environmental chemistry, to its list of air quality experts.
The 12 experts will assist the federal agency’s Chartered Clean Air Advisory Committee, providing technical expertise in a review of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for particulate matter and ozone.
Jaffe is an expert both on ozone, a key ingredient of smog, and on particulate matter, the tiny bits in smoke that may be breathed deep into the lungs.
“This appointment represents an opportunity to use my scientific expertise to support the EPA’s decision-making,” Jaffe said.
“The long-term goal should be that our environmental laws, rules and regulations be based on the best available science and be designed to protect public health with an adequate margin of safety.”
Jaffe also is a recognized expert on the global transport of pollutants through the atmosphere. He leads research into local, regional and global pollution sources in the western United States. In addition, he is chair of the Physical Sciences Division in UW Bothell’s School of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).
“Dr. Jaffe is known internationally as an expert on air pollution and especially on ozone. We’re delighted that the EPA has recognized his work and that he is able to add his voice to the decision-making process,” said Marc Servetnick, acting dean of the School of STEM.
The EPA clean air committee had requested additional experts. The EPA administrator selected them from people who were publicly nominated.
Customer information night at Expedia CruiseShipCenter in LFP

Shoreline says: Skip the straw
From the City of Shoreline
An estimated 9 million tons of plastic end up in the ocean each year. If that trend continues, it’s anticipated that there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean by 2050!
Plastic straws are an item that most of us could live without. Plastic straws don’t biodegrade under natural conditions, and they can’t easily be recycled due to their small size.
Many straws end up in our local streams and the ocean where they can pollute habitat for salmon, orcas and other species.
According to Ocean Conservancy, plastic straws are one of the top ten items collected every year during their International Coastal Cleanup.
Reducing our use of single-use plastics, including straws, can help! The City is partnering with Ocean Conservancy to reduce plastic pollution and encourage Shoreline residents and businesses to “Skip the Straw.” Visit Skip the Straw to pledge today!
Individuals: Pledge not to use single-use plastic straws for the next 30 days. When ordering a drink, politely request “no straw, please.” Carry a reusable straw, such as one made from stainless steel, bamboo or glass. You can also pledge to ask your favorite restaurant to serve straws only on request.

We’ll be updating an online map showing the number of individual pledges by neighborhood for a little friendly competition, so encourage your friends and family to participate!
Businesses: Businesses can pledge to only offer straws upon request and/or switch to reusable or compostable straws. Participating businesses will receive a window decal and display materials and be highlighted on social media. Businesses that sign the pledge can still offer flexible plastic drinking straws to customers who need them due to medical or physical conditions.

The Red Sky Gallery will hold its Grand Opening on Saturday, September 21, 2019 from 5 to 9pm at its location on the upper level wing of Town Center in Lake Forest Park at the intersection of Bothell and Ballinger Way NE.
 |
| Large Debbie Tomassi paintings line this wall |
Red Sky is a large, open space with a lofty ceiling and bright, white walls filled with art works by local artists.
Debbie Tomassi, Marjorie Thompson, Kathy Collins, and Blanche Niznik are familiar names - artists who live in Lake Forest Park. There are a dozen more in the gallery.
All of the artists will be at the Grand Opening, as well as a jazz duo, wine, cheese, and chocolate from The Chocolate Man.

| Laura Michaelson next to a ceramic flower |
Owner Laura Michaelson is not an artist herself. She had a professional career in Leadership Development. Microsoft was her last client.
She had her 50th birthday and something clicked for her. "I felt free. I felt like I had paid my dues and now I could do something I really wanted to do." And that something was an art gallery.
She had remodeled her kitchen by herself, so had no qualms about taking down a wall to combine two spaces at Town Center. She laid the flooring and built a set of display boxes. She painted, and created moveable divider walls.
There is a special gift shop section as well as many small pieces of art and several jewelry artists.
"We have a number of pieces in the affordable price range, suitable for gifts."

Red Sky had a soft opening six weeks ago and already looks different from when it was photographed for this article. Pieces sell and are replaced with new ones. The Gallery is slightly different each day.
Laura has already connected with all the shops alongside hers, and a few downstairs like The Chocolate Man.

"Community is important," she said, "and this is a wonderful community." The business owners have tentative plans for events, using Laura's large space.
Now she wants to reach outside the shops and use art as a vehicle for creating community. "We need this now to bring out beauty and to bring people together."
