They are also encouraged to share travel plans with a trusted person to ensure help is available if conditions worsen. The Grants Pass Tribune
- ➤ Bladder leakage is common for many adults over fifty and can also start earlier when pelvic muscles weaken — both men and women can ease the problem with regular Kegel exercises and simple habit changes.

LIFESTYLE NEWS
- ➤ Residents from Grants Pass can drive to Medford airport then catch a flight to Cabo San Lucas — where warm temperatures, calm seas, and outdoor activities provide a welcome break from the winter chill.
