Visitors are invited to travel back in time at the 23rd Annual Fossil Fair at The Schiele Museum of Natural History to discover the ancient stories that fossils, rocks, and miner- als tell. The festivities will take place on Saturday, Feb- ruary 25, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. For the price of museum admission plus $3.00, participants can enjoy a full day of fun and fossils at The Schiele. Those who attend can search for North Carolina fossils, meet live animals, mine for gemstones, find or buy their own fossils to take home, and learn all about prehistoric life through hands-on learning activities. For rock collectors, gemstone enthusiasts, or fossil hunters, the museum will have experts on hand to identify, educate, and sell geodes, fossils, rocks, jewelry, and more. Geolo- gists will be on-site to help beginners mine for their own gemstones and learn more about their finds. There will also be family- friendly scavenger hunts, fossil digs, crafts, and a special planetarium lineup featuring the show, "Fos- sils in Space". Museum Program Spe- cialist Nathan Chapman says, "Fossils are full of mysteries! They hint at animals and an alien Earth we can hardly imagine. By investigating fossils, we can learn about the Earth's past and better understand the world we live in today. At Fossil Fair, visitors can see, touch, and exam- ine these treasures that have been buried for mil- lions of years, and learn more about the history that they hold."

Cognitive health is not something to take for granted. Although a cer- tain level of memory loss can be expected as peo- ple age, when the ability to clearly think, learn and remember is compro- mised, those changes can affect an individual's ability to perform daily ac- tivities and should serve as a cause for concern. Brain health should be a priority for everyone. The National Institute on Aging says brain health is an umbrella term that encompasses a host of factors, including: • cognitive health, which is how well you think, learn and remem- ber • motor function, or how you make and con- trol movements • tactile function, which is how you feel sensa- tions; and • emotional function, or how emotions are interpreted and responded to. I n d i v i d u a l s can safeguard b r a i n h e a l t h — particularly cognitive health — by taking these steps. Be more health-conscious Working with doctors, individuals can put their health first. This includes getting routine screen- ings, managing chronic health problems, limiting or avoiding alcohol and nicotine products, and getting the recommended amount of sleep each night. Manage high blood pressure All chronic conditions cause long-term reper- cussions, but the NIA in- dicates that observational studies show having high blood pressure in mid-life increases the risk of cog- nitive decline later in life. Lowering blood pressure lowers the risk for mild cognitive impairment and possibly dementia. Challenge your brain H a r v a r d M e d i c a l School says nurturing social contacts, engag- ing in stimulating mental activities like reading and doing puzzles, seeing new places, and learning This Tyrannosaurus rex is on display at The Schiele Museum of Natural History on February 25.

Schiele Museum presents 23rd Annual Fossil Fair How to protect your long-term cognitive health new things can help keep the brain in top form. Manage stress Stress can take its toll on the body, and there is reason to believe that it may adversely affect cognitive health as well. Make every stride to re- duce stress, whether that involves taking vacations, meditating, laughing with friends and family, or en- gaging in relaxing activi- ties that relieve stress. Get enough vitamin D Vitamin D is linked to a host health benefits, including its potential to promote a healthy brain. Individuals can get more time outdoors to get vita- min D naturally from the sun and eat foods rich in vitamin D. If doctors find that vitamin D levels are exceptionally low, supple- mentation can help. Pay attention to hearing loss Certain hearing loss has been linked to cogni- tive decline, says Health- line. Researchers in Italy concluded that people with central hearing loss had a higher risk of mild cognitive impairment than those with no hearing loss or peripheral hearing loss. Individuals with central hearing loss are urged to speak to their physicians to determine if they can take preventive action to stave off further decline. Cognitive health should be a priority. Adults can employ various strategies to reduce their risk of cog- nitive decline as they age.
