Have a plan for wherever you spend time: home, work and school and pre- pare for the possibility of power outages. Check the contents of your emergency preparedness kit in case a power outage occurs. Choose places you could go to for relief from the heat during the warmest part of the day, such as shelters, schools, libraries, theaters, or malls. • Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of fluids even if you do not feel thirsty. Avoid drinks with caffeine or alcohol. Wear loose-fitting, lightweight, light-colored clothing. Avoid dark colors because they absorb the sun’s rays. Use a buddy system when working in excessive heat and take frequent breaks if you must work outdoors. • Check on the health of pets and loved ones. Check on family, friends and neighbors who do not have air conditioning, who spend much of their time alone or who are more likely to be affected by the heat. Check on your animals fre- quently to ensure that they are not suffering from the heat. Never leave children or pets alone in enclosed vehicles. • Know the signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Heat exhaustion typically involves the loss of body fluids through heavy sweat- ing during strenuous exer- cise or physical labor in high heat and humidity. Signs of heat exhaustion include: cool, moist, pale or flushed skin; heavy sweating; headache; nausea; dizzi- ness; weakness and exhaus- tion. If a person shows signs of heat exhaustion, move the person to a cooler place. Remove or loosen tight clothing and apply cool, wet cloths or towels to the skin. Fan the person. If the person is conscious, give small amounts of cool water to drink. Make sure the person drinks slowly and watch for changes in condition. If the person refuses water, vomits or begins to lose conscious- ness, call 911 immediately. Heat stroke is a life- threatening condition in which a person’s tempera- ture control system stops working and the body is unable to cool itself. Signs of heat stroke include: hot, red skin, which may be dry or moist; changes in conscious- ness; vomiting and high body temperature. If a per- son shows signs of heat stroke, move the person to a cool place and call 911 immediately.

BETHLEHEM — Last Thursday night at Profile School just happened to be perfect, temperatures in the mid-70s rolling through the infield, low humidity danc- ing down the foul lines — a clear blue sky framing fly balls and the scent of freshly mown grass lingering in the outfield. But it could have been raining, hailing — or per- haps hurricane-force gusts whooshing through the dugouts — and Cliff Crosby still would have declared “play ball” for his Senior Softball league game match- ing the Bees and the Closers. Like all summer days that came before last Thursday — and likely all that follow — Crosby took a seat in front of the home dugout with score- book in hand ready to record CHARLIE LENTZ/THE COURIER the evening’s statistics.
