A Grand RelationshipAnyone who has ever received a
loving hug, phone call or letterfrom a grandchild knows howtruly special—and beneficial—that bond is.
Intergenerational relationshipsare important for the emotionalgrowth of a child, who develops asense of belonging and identity byfeeling part of a larger family. Agrandparent can strengthen thisconnection by passing on familyhistory, heritage and traditions.
Grandparents can also serve asa child’s source of wisdom,emotional support, entertainmentand, of course, unconditionallove.
In return, grandchildren bringmeaning and joy to agrandparent’s life. By being able toplay a nurturing role and watchgrandchildren grow—without theresponsibility of primary
parenting—grandparentsexperience an increased sense ofself-worth and purpose.

New Year’s post-seasonmatches began in 1902, whenMichigan beat Stanford 49–0 atthe Pasadena, Calif., Tournamentof Roses. In 1923, the Rose Bowlstadium became home to thematch, inspiring “bowl games”nationwide.
Professional football began inthe early 1900s, and on Aug. 20,1920, several Midwestern teamsformed the American ProfessionalFootball Association. Two yearslater, the fast-growing groupbecame the National FootballLeague.

Combat Dry SkinAutumn often means cooler
temperatures, drier air and hottershowers. All that can lead to dry,itchy, irritated skin. Keep yourskin healthy this fall and winterby following these tips:
Use a humidifier. Tackle dryindoor air with a humidifier,aiming for 30 to 50 percenthumidity in your home.
Stay hydrated. Individual needsvary, but aim to drink at leasteight 8-ounce glasses of fluiddaily, focusing on water andavoiding caffeine, to moisturizeskin from the inside.
Take shorter, cooler showers. Hotshowers and baths will strip yourskin of moisture. Adjust to acooler water temperature, and usea moisturizing soap. Protect handswith rubber gloves when washingdishes in hot, soapy water.
Moisturize, moisturize,moisturize! The best times tomoisturize are after bathing andbefore bed. Fight extra-dry skinwith creams, oils, salves and
ointments, focusing on places thatneed extra attention, such as yourface, neck, hands, elbows, kneesand feet. Look for soothingingredients such as aloe, olive oil,shea, coconut, mango and cocoabutter.

Scent StudyTesting a person’s sense of
smell might help predict theirchances of developing Alzheimer’sdisease. A 2016 study found thatpeople who had troubleidentifying scents such asmenthol, clove, pineapple andlemon seemed to be at a higherrisk for Alzheimer’s.
The findings could lead to aninexpensive and noninvasive wayto identify those who wouldbenefit from treatment. Earlydiagnosis and intervention is veryeffective in slowing or preventingprogression of the disease,researchers say. More studies areplanned.
