TEST YOUR HOME FOR RADON
New York State Department of Health would like to remind New Yorkers to test their homes for
radon. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), approximately 21,000 people die
from radon-induced lung cancer each year. Radon is an invisible, odorless and tasteless gas, and the
leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers.
"Remembering to test your home for radon during the colder months is a simple act that may prevent you or a loved
one from developing cancer,” Health Commissioner Dr. Howard Zucker said. "I encourage all New Yorkers to test
their homes this season."
Radon is present at elevated levels in approximately 37 percent of basements tested in New York State homes. It is
naturally occurring and disperses in outdoor air, but it can reach harmful levels when trapped in buildings. Homeown-
ers can test their homes at any time; however, it is best to do so during the heating season when homes typically let in
less outdoor air. Every home should be tested initially and tested again every 5 years, after major renovations, weath-
erization or installation of a radon mitigation system. Low-cost test kits are available through the New York State De-
partment of Health's (DOH) Radon Program: www.health.ny.gov/environmental/radiological/radon/testkit.htm.
Radon problems can be fixed by qualified contractors for a cost similar to that of many common home repairs. Infor-
mation on radon mitigation can be found at www.health.ny.gov/environmental/radiological/radon/mitigation/
what_is_mitigation.htm.
For more information, visit: www.health.ny.gov/environmental/radiological/radon/radon.htm.
Contact the DOH Radon Program at 18-402-7556 or radon@health.ny.gov.
SENIOR ANGELS PROGRAM -
SPREADING CHEER 365 DAYS A YEAR
The Senior Angels Program was created in 1998 by the Greene County Department for the Aging staff. The case
managers noticed that there was a large population of seniors that had no family or close friends to share the
Christmas holiday with, and thought it would be nice to remember them at this joyous time.
Originally, the Department for the Aging staff asked for donations of small gifts and trinkets that could be delivered
along with the Home-Delivered Meals. As the concept grew, a couple of staff members thought it would be a good
idea to reach out to the residents and businesses of Greene County seeking monetary donations. In the first year,
$2,000 was raised and they were able to brighten up the Holidays for 15 seniors.
Over the years, the program grew and became so successful, that in 2013, a committee was formed to oversee
fundraising and the requests for gifts. At that time, the logo of an angel’s wings with a halo began, in memory of
former staff member, Sheila Ormerod, who loved the program.
The committee wants people to know that the Senior Angels Program operates more than just at holiday time.
Their slogan is “Spreading Cheer 365 Days a Year”. Year-round, funds are used to provide one-time, emergency
assistance to senior citizens, when all other funds have been exhausted, and there is no other source to help. Some
of the other ways the funds have been used are:
Purchase of clothing and household necessities
Purchase of small appliances or amplified phones
Purchase of items that will enable seniors to live with dignity and independence
Monetary supplement to help with rising energy costs, when all other sources have been expended
Gifts for Elderly clients in Nursing Homes
Due to the generous contributions of the Greene County residents, business and clubs, the Program has been able to
help fulfill all qualified requests. Hopefully, moving forward, it can still do the same for many years to come.
Year-round donations can be dropped off or mailed to: Greene County Department of Human Services, ATTN:
Senior Angels Fund, 411 Main Street, Catskill, NY 12414.
For more information, please call Greene County Department of Human Services at (518) 719-3555 or toll-free

Individuals are needed to help transport homebound senior citizens to their
medical appointments. From time to time, the number of people requesting this
service outnumber the volunteers available. Due to this, we are not always able to
find an available driver.

We will be happy to work around your schedule and driving preferences. This is a
very flexible volunteer opportunity. Even if you can only volunteer occasionally,
your generosity will make it easier to assist those who need this service.

requirement. Mileage reimbursement is available.

MARCH IS NATIONAL NUTRITION MONTH! This is the perfect opportunity for you to become more aware of the importance and benefits of a healthy eating plan and good nutrition. How? Finding out what foods to eat for a balanced diet Learn how to read the nutrition fact labels Look at the recommended dietary guidelines such as My Plate! We need fewer calories as we grow older than we did when we were in our younger years. Choose more vegetables to fill up on. Avoid oversized portions by using a smaller plate, bowl, or glass. Try to cook at home more frequently instead of going out for dinner. You have more control of what is in your food when you make it yourself. Increase your physical activity - start with walking. Your health benefits increase the more time you spend being active.
