Hoarding On The Rise
(BPT) - Think of that family member or friend whose home is nearly clogged with clutter; how do you describe them? How do you address the situation? The terms you use and actions you take can have a serious impact on that individual’s situation and mental state.
Hoarding is more common than many realize. Recent estimates show that as many as five percent of Americans may meet the criteria for hoarding disorder, that’s up to 15 million people. Hoarding is also now recognized as its own mental health disorder by the American Psychiatric Association.
“A lot of people don’t want to believe their loved one could be a hoarder,” says extreme cleaning expert Matt Paxton. “We want to believe the situation isn’t that serious, but the truth is that hoarding isn’t just something you see on TV. It happens everywhere, and real people suffer from it every day.”
Paxton, now serving as the in-house expert on hoarding cleanup for ServiceMaster Restore, provides specialized hands-on training to the company's franchisees across the country. To help you recognize whether your loved one is truly suffering from hoarding disorder, and to learn how you can help them get the professional help they need, Paxton offers these tips:
* Spot the symptoms. People who suffer from hoarding have a tendency to be extremely secretive about their problem. They may even attempt to hide it from friends and loved ones by not allowing people into their homes or private living spaces. Sometimes people who suffer from hoarding will cut off all communication to friends and family in fear that their hoarding tendencies will be exposed to the outside world. If you feel like you’re being shut out, don’t give up; it just means you have to work harder to stay in this person’s life and help them get the help they need.
* Recognize common triggers. Hoarding is often triggered by a traumatic event in someone’s life – the loss of a loved one, a divorce, cancer or job loss. A person begins hoarding because they are trying to fill this void with physical stuff, which adds up over time. Think of your loved ones who may be going through a tough time; are they purchasing items to an extreme? It’s important to recognize that they may need help from an expert, and soon.
* Seek professional help. If you don’t know how to help someone who suffers from hoarding – and most people don’t — ask for assistance before attempting to handle it yourself. People who suffer from hoarding are not just collectors, they have a psychological attachment to their belongings — something that the average person is not equipped to handle on his or her own. Remember, hoarding is a disorder. Professional cleaning services, like ServiceMaster Restore, can provide compassionate cleaning services for hoarding, and also refer you to local mental health professionals across the country to help ensure your loved ones get the professional help they need. It’s also important to have a professional check for the physical safety and the many hazards that may exist in a hoarded home.
* Don’t escalate the crisis. Attempting to clean something up on your own is not only dangerous, it can also be detrimental to the person who suffers from hoarding. Mental health experts warn against throwing things away or making threats about ending a relationship with someone who suffers from hoarding. Both of these practices often do more harm than good. Compassion is key when dealing with a hoarding situation.
Paxton urges the importance of understanding that every hoarding situation is unique and requires special attention, especially if harmful contaminants are present. This is where professional companies experienced in construction and repair work, as well as cleaning and de-cluttering, can be particularly helpful.
"Together with ServiceMaster Restore, we can help more of those-in-need and have a real impact on the lives of those suffering from this mental health disorder," says Paxton.

Beavers Relocated via Parchute
BOISE, Idaho, Oct. 23 (UPI) -- Idaho Fish and Game announced a department historian discovered long-lost footage of beavers being relocated via parachutes in 1948.
The story of four beavers parachuted into the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness in 1948 was detailed earlier this year by the Idaho Department of Fish and Game, but film of the beaver relocation was thought to be lost until Department Historian Sharon Clark tracked down a print and had it converted to digital.
The department shared the film, titled "Fur for the Future," on YouTube.
"Yes, we still do some trapping and relocating of beavers. We haven't done airplane drops for 50 plus years, but it apparently worked pretty well back then to reestablish them in remote places," Steve Nadeau of Idaho Fish and Game told Boise StatePublic Radio.

The Friends of the Bangor Public Library are having a brunch with the author October 24 at 10:00am featuring BHS grad Karen Katchur. Admission is free but registration requested by calling 588-4136 brunch is also available.
(BELOW IS A STORY THAT APPEARED IN THIS PAPER AUGUST 4, 2015) Bangor High graduate Karen (Shoemaker) Katchur has published The Secrets of Lake Road (Thomas Dunne Books/St. Martin’s Press) . Karen Katchur -- Official Author Website . In her book, Jo has been hiding the truth about her role in her high school boyfriend’s drowning for sixteen years. Every summer, she drops her children off with her mother at the lakeside community where she spent summers growing up, but cannot bear to stay herself; everything about the lake reminds her of the guilt she feels. For her daughter Caroline, however, the lake is a precious world apart; its familiarity and sameness comforts her every year despite the changes in her life outside its bounds. At twelve years old and caught between childhood and adolescence, she longs to win her mother’s love and doesn’t understand why Jo keeps running away. Then seven-year-old Sara Starr goes missing from the community beach. Rescue workers fail to uncover any sign of her—but instead dredge up the bones Jo hoped would never be discovered, shattering the quiet lakeside community’s tranquility. Caroline was one of the last people to see Sara alive on the beach, and feels responsible for her disappearance. She takes it upon herself to figure out what happened to the little girl. As Caroline searches for Sara, she uncovers the secrets her mother has been hiding, unraveling the very foundation of everything she knows about herself and her family in this riveting novel that is impossible to put down and hard to forget. Karen Katchur holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice from West Chester University and a Masters of Education degree in Health and Physical Education from East Stroudsburg University. She lives in Eastern Pennsylvania with her husband and two children. She enjoys running and tennis and playing with her flat coat retriever puppy, Tucker and her cat, Carly.

Technology can be wonderful!
by Dr. Gary Williams, DMD
garywilliamsdmd.com
I know sometimes new technologies can be frustrating and leave us questioning whether “progress” is worth the hassle. But, that is not the case with intra-oral digital scanners. We have been using our digital scanner at Family Dental Care now for 3 months, and the results are amazing.
Sure, it’s pretty “cool” technology, and it has been totally comfortable for patients. No gagging going on! And the turn around time is much shorter. All of these are pluses, but here is the real benefit… the accuracy and fit of what we are making.
I can comfortably predict a great fit of your new crowns, splints, Invisalign aligners, retainers, and anything else we scan for. That makes it worthwhile.
It’s one thing to restore your mouth to health, but I want, you want, and you deserve to rest assured that what is placed in your mouth is the best possible fit known to dentistry.
Digital scanning is here to stay at Family Dental Care. Feel free to ask us about our scanner. Garywilliamsdmd.com.
