**************************************************
May is National High Blood Pressure Education Month
About 1 of 3 US adults have high blood pressure. High blood pressure makes your heart work too hard and increases your risk of heart disease and stroke. You can have high blood pressure and not know it. That is why it is called the silent killer.
If you have high blood pressure, there are steps you can take to get it under control.
- Ask your doctor what your blood pressure should be. Set a goal to lower your pressure with your doctor to make sure you meet that goal.
- Take your blood pressure medication as directed. If you are having trouble, ask your doctor what you can do to make it easier.
- Quit smoking-and if you don't smoke, don't start. You can find tips and resources at CDC's Smoking and Tobacco Web site or Be Tobacco Free Web site.
- Reduce sodium. Most Americans consume too much sodium, and it raises blood pressure in most people. Learn tips to reduce your sodium. You can read more about high blood pressure on the CDC's web site: http://www.cdc.gov/Features/HighBloodPressure/

Boys Baseball News

It wasn't the showing Hartford Union baseball coach Eric Vanden Acker wanted from his team Monday.
The Orioles faced Milwaukee Lutheran, the top-ranked team in Division 2 and defending WIAA state champion.
Behind Nick Winters' 15 strikeouts for the Red Knights, Milwaukee Lutheran shut out Hartford, 9-0.
"He's the real deal," Vanden Acker said of Winter. "But it goes back to our approaches. We weren't aggressive early. If we saw a first-pitch fastball, we let it go by, hoping for something better. You're not going to see anything better against (Winter)." Click here to read full article.

In the nearly five years since, the Hartford-Slinger football game has become one of the top cancer fundraising events in Wisconsin. Click here to read full article in the Daily News.
