Climate activists, including members of the Sierra Club, rally in front of City Hall in 2019. In an open letter to Mayor Ron Nirenberg and city council, 27 environmental and social justice groups urged the city to shield vulnerable residents from utility rate hikes and outages as it moves to meet climate goals.
The letter, posted on Earth Day, argues that February s Winter Storm Uri, which left millions of Texans without power, had the most devastating impact on low-income families, the elderly and people with disabilities. At least 133 Texans, including nine in Bexar County, died due to the storm, according to the most recent state health data. ....

Advice when driving in inclement weather

â LF
Answer: With spring upon us, we are likely to see increased showers and wet pavement, which can play a major role in traffic accidents.
The Federal Highway Administration estimates 22 percent of crashes are weather related and 73 percent of those happen on wet pavement. Following a few safety tips before getting on the road and while driving when roads are wet and slick will go a long way to make your dadâs travels a bit safer.
First, make sure the vehicleâs tires are properly inflated and that the tread on each tire has proper tread depth. Tire pressure should be checked at least once per month. The appropriate pressure for your vehicleâs tires should be printed on the inside of the driverâs side door jam. Be sure to check the pressure when tires are cold and do not forget to check the spare tireâs pressure too. To check the tire tread, insert a quarter upside down into one of the grooves. If Washingtonâs head is visible, it is ....

AGEWISE: Understanding labels on food packaging

â KB
Answer: Understanding food labels can go a long way in managing your diet. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Nutritional Facts labels were updated in 2020 to help people better recognize healthier choices.
The FDA required manufacturers with $10 million or more in annual sales to update their labels by Jan. 1, 2020, and those manufacturers with less than $10 million in annual food sales to update their labels by Jan. 21, 2021. Companies that produce single-ingredient sugars, such as honey and maple syrup and some cranberry products have until July 1, 2021, to make changes.
Scientific studies from the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine, formerly known as the Institute of Medicine, played a big role in the label changes. Some vitamin information, such as vitamin D and potassium, were added because studies found Americans tend to be deficient in those nutrients. âAdded sugarsâ is a new entry because these food choices increas ....

AGEWISE: Hot meal delivery planned again for Meals on Wheels

â LY
Answer: Volunteering is a great way to give back and support your community. Senior Servicesâ Meals-on-Wheels program is an excellent opportunity for volunteers to not only provide a nutritious meal, but also to form friendships, share warm smiles, and provide a safety check for older adults, many of whom are living alone and having trouble preparing meals during the day.
Just about one year ago, the Meals-on Wheels program, which prided itself on providing hot lunch-time meals to senior participants in the program each weekday, shifted its Meals-on-Wheels delivery process to delivering five frozen meals, once per week in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19 and keep participants and volunteers as safe as possible. As the number of COVID-19 cases decrease and the number of people vaccinated increase in our community, Senior Services plans to resume hot, daily meal delivery on Monday, May 3rd. That goal can only be reached with the support of community vo ....

AGEWISE: Events planned for March for Meals

â BK
Answer: Yes, every March since 2002 Meals-on-Wheels programs across the country join together in celebrating March for Meals. This national campaign, spearheaded by Meals on Wheels America, commemorates the historic day in March 1972 when President Nixon signed into law a measure that amended the Older Americans Act of 1965 and established a national nutrition program for seniors 60 years of age and older.
Here in Forsyth County, Senior Services celebrates âMarch for Mealsâ by spreading awareness of its nutrition programs â Meals-on-Wheels and Senior Lunch (a group meal program), and the growing need for the communityâs involvement in them.
Typically, a well-known member of the community would personally deliver hot meals to program participants. Due to COVID-19, this year looks a little different. Instead, mayors from each city in Forsyth County will sign a proclamation making the month of March âMarch for Mealsâ month and will ....
