Easier Tech Easier Life = Freedom with Fitbits, iPhones and more BY KRISTEN CASTILLO

T

hese days, you don’t have to be a millennial or a tech junkie to understand how to use some of the latest technology like smartphones and fitness trackers, because the gear is becoming more user-friendly. Older Americans who embrace technology can enhance their lives by staying informed, shopping, connecting with friends and family, and even tracking their health and fitness progress. Smart Investment The over-50 crowd is getting more and more engaged with tech. According to a November AARP study of 1,520 adults over 50, 70 percent of Americans own a smartphone, 90 percent own a laptop or computer, and 40 percent own a tablet. With functions like taking and storing photos, playing music and games, and tracking everything from your heart rate to your finances, the devices are both practical and fun. Eighty-nine percent of respondents send and receive emails and texts on their devices; 77 percent use it for traffic information and directions; and 28 percent use it to manage their health care. Seventy-nine percent say they do their banking on their computer, while 35 percent do it on their smartphone. For entertainment, 42 percent play games on their gadgets (“Words with Friends,” anyone?), while 34 percent watch videos or shows. Regardless of the device, tech is a personal tool for day-to-day activities and communication. Personal Connection Technology allows seniors to stay in touch with family and friends near or far, and some technology is made especially for a senior audience. The GrandPad tablet connects seniors through voice and video calls and instant photo sharing. Targeted toward people over 75 who may not use cellphones or computers, it has large buttons and an intuitive interface. Family members can preload contacts and pictures and then 4

Nixplay is a digital picture frame that uses Wi-Fi to immediately display media sent from anywhere in the world with friends and loved ones. It’s compatible with Amazon Alexa, and it connects to platforms including Facebook, Instagram, Dropbox and Google Photos. Nixplay can function as a family social network to strengthen your relationships. Wearables Wearables have been adopted by just 13 percent of the over-50 crowd, according to the AARP study, though new wearables that cater to seniors can actually make a difference in personal safety and health and wellness. Fitbit users can expect the gadget to track their sleep patterns, heart rate, steps and stairs climbed.

They can manually enter data such as when and what they eat or how much water they drink. Staying mobile and active is key for seniors’ physical health and well-being, and this device helps wearers be mindful. A safety wearable called run angel, which is worn on the wrist like most wearables, can be used to help caregivers and family members know the whereabouts of their loved one. In an emergency, you can press an alert button that produces a loud alarm and alerts up to three designated people with the time, date, coordinates and map to your location.

Enjoy fine dining on the rails BY GINA GALLUCCI-WHITE

G

oing out to dinner is a standard way many folks celebrate either a special occasion or just to have a fun time. For those looking for a way to have both a delicious meal with a unique experience, the Walkersville Southern Railroad (WSRR) offers dinner trains from May until the fall. Dating back to the late 1800s, dinner trains reached their peak in the 1920s to 1930s with cars opulently decorated and food rivaling most high-end restau-

rants. Many of the WSRR volunteers travel around to other railroads in the regional and nation and some rail lines still offer dinner train trips. “We thought, ‘What a unique opportunity to bring that to our railroad and offer that,” said Brooke Kovalcik, general administrator and director of special events. In 2004, WSRR acquired a 1920 passenger car in Biglerville, Pa. and brought it back in pieces on a truck. The car was rusted, had holes in the walls, no windows or seats. “It was really just

a shell of a car,” said Paul Kovalcik, WSRR board of directors member. Volunteers worked for five years to replace the floor, the walls below the windows, add heating, air conditioning and a bathroom, reprofile the wheels and rebuild the brake system before putting the dining car into service in 2009. “It was a pretty intense project,” he said. “We forget to take credit for it because we do that every day ... We recreated a dining car in the style of traditional pre-World War II dining cars. It was not originally a dining car

but we do a lot of heavy work at the railroad including ground up restoration of railroad cars.” The railroad currently has 70 volunteers that do restoration, train operations, track repair and mechanical work. While some are local, others come from all over Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania to come give their time. “Railroading is a passion for a lot of people but here in Frederick County we have built something that feels so

Q&A: Dorothy Engle BY ERIK ANDERSON

Dorothy Engle, 77, of Middletown, has been a fulcrum point for the senior citizens of her community for the past 20 years. Since retiring from a 30-year career as a teacher with Frederick County Public Schools in 1999, she has volunteered as a key organizer for the Middletown Valley People Helping People charity group. She runs two of their senior citizen outreach programs: a twice-weekly exercise class called Valley Young at Heart, and a monthly luncheon and speaker program called Middletown Senior Citizens. She also helped start the Middletown Meals on Wheels program and participates in annual donation collection drives.

I understand you’re involved in several volunteer efforts for senior citizens in Middletown. Tell me about the exercise classes you organize?

We started it in October of 2001 and we are still going. We still have a couple of people who were there when we started. We meet twice a week at the AMVETS (in Middletown). We charge a dollar or two when you come, and we’re asking people to also donate a dollar a time for the AMVETS because they allow us to use the space for free. There’s no other space that we could use that would be big enough. We have two different instructors, one for Tuesday and one for Thursday, and it’s pretty difficult to find somebody who is willing to work one hour a week for you. But they love us. They love older people. It’s kind of like a social thing too because people come and get in little groups and talk. It’s a way for people who are moving into the community to meet some people. We’re always getting 8

new people. Our group kind of fluctuates because this is also the age group where people might go away for a while.

And what is the intended age range?

We advertise for people 50 and over and we probably have a few people in their 50s, a lot of them in their 60s, 70s and 80s. We have one lady who’s 93 and one who’s 91. We just lost a guy who is coming up on 95. He hasn’t been there for at least six months because of health issues and wasn’t able to come back.

What sort of exercises do they do at the classes?

We do aerobics. We do strength training, work on balance, ability, and stretching. It’s a very good overall workout. Following that most days we have a certified yoga instructor, and for an extra dollar you can do yoga.

And you also organize a monthly senior luncheon? Can you tell me about that?

There’s been a monthly luncheon for seniors since God knows when, since probably the 60s, maybe the 50s. It was started here by Patricia Throne. She was a force in the county for senior citizens before senior citizen organizations got so big. She was a one-woman force. I think at first ladies at the Lutheran church served the lunches, and they had some kind of activity. They had a speaker or played bingo or whatever.

How did you come to take it over?

I got involved with it when I took those seven years off with my children. My son was born in 71, so I had stopped teaching and they came to me and they said

husband’s parents. They were just lovely people. I haven’t been able to translate to my daughter.

This all sounds like a lot of work for someone in retirement. What drives you to do it?

I try to go and see people. I went out Saturday evening for a few minutes to see my exercise guy who’s turning 95 this month, the one with the health problems. And then I stopped to see another exercise person who’s having a health problem. There are all these people to call or write to or visit, and to go to lunch with. Other than that, I like to read.

Everything I do, I do because I want to. My daughter frequently says, “Now mom, you don’t have to do that.” I say, “No, I want to do it.” I probably got my ideas about charity from my foster mother and also from my

More doctors want to treat patients from the comfort of their couch BY KRISTEN V BROWN

M

ost doctors have a license to practice medicine in just one state. Lindsey Mcilvena can practice in 26. “I’ve lost track a little bit,” she said of all her medical licenses. Mcilvena is a telemedicine doctor, one of a growing number of physicians who prefer to treat patients remotely, from the comfort of their own homes. They connect with patients by video chat, or through new apps where patients can use their smartphone to talk to a doctor about a cold or a prescription. For Mcilvena, 35, it began as a side gig. She was fresh out of medical school, running her own one-woman practice in Encinitas, California. She started to take telemedicine appointments to help pay the bills as she expanded her brick-and-mortar practice. She liked it so much that in 2015 she made the leap to practicing remotely full time. “I was a fan for the flexibility, for being able to work from home and set my own hours,” said Mcilvena, who specializes in lifestyle and preventive medicine. “Those things don’t apply to very many medical positions.” At first, she relished the ability to take an afternoon yoga class or grab a midday coffee with a friend. Nowadays, Mcilvena works full-time for the telemedicine startup HeyDoctor, which allows her to treat patients while still spending ample time with her 16-month-old son. Telemedicine is still, by most accounts, a niche occupation. A study published in December in the aca10

demic journal Health Affairs combed 2016 survey results from the American Medical Association to find that only 15.4 percent of physicians worked in practices using telemedicine. But that may soon change. Long heralded by the medical community for its potential to make health care more accessible and efficient, telemedicine now seems poised to go mainstream—and raise new questions about how medicine practiced through an app compares to a doctor’s office visit. Private health plans, Medicare, most state Medicaid programs, and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs all cover some virtual doctor’s visits. More than 35 states and the District of Columbia now have laws requiring private insurance companies to reimburse providers for care delivered remotely.

THE FREDERICK NEWS-POST

In telemedicine, tech-savvy doctors who are good communicators are the ones who thrive. “American medicine is not great,” said HeyDoctor Chief Executive Officer Brendan Levy, who himself is licensed in 30 states. “You spend a lot of time just doing paperwork and talking about insurance.You spend the same 15 minutes if someone has a cold as you do if you’ve got a new diagnosis of cancer. It’s not a great way to spend the patient’s time or your time as a doctor.” Many of the conditions for which people go to a primary care doctor, Levy said, can just as easily be treated by talking to a doctor through an app. Levy says that in many scenarios—especially conditions that might prompt a visit to an urgent-care center, such as the flu—telemedicine technology actually

allows doctors to provide better care. At the same time, some doctors worry that virtual visits undermine the doctor-patient relationship, or that they might get paid less. The American Medical Association supports telemedicine so long as it’s “consistent with related in-person services.” Among the biggest challenges seems to be discerning when telemedicine should defer to old-fashioned office visits.” A number of randomized, controlled trials have demonstrated telemedicine is equivalent to face-to-face treatment,” said Ateev Mehrotra, a doctor and professor of health-care policy at Harvard Medical School. Telemedicine, he said, is great for things like mental health or urgent care. Where that gets trickier, he said, is when someone’s condition requires a physical examination, such as a urinary tract infection or strep throat.” Telemedicine is designed to be quick and transactional, but that becomes more complicated when you get into things like testing someone,” he said. “The current system doesn’t work. It’s inefficient,” said Amy Fan, a 30-yearold doctor who recently started her own pediatric telemedicine practice, called Kinder. Fan said that while doing her medical residency, she found the communication between doctor and patient constantly frustrating. Patients couldn’t easily reach out to ask simple questions, and doctors couldn’t easily follow up. “I thought about if I can do everything I do in person online,” Fan said. “And I came to the conclusion that I can.” – Bloomberg

TRAVEL

Time Travelers Historical interpreters bring the past back to a tech-crazed modern world BY JENNIFER BARGER

E

lizabeth Keaney’s work dress code might be stricter than yours: Her gig portraying a young Martha Washington at Mount Vernon means she spends 30 minutes a day lacing herself into corset-like linen stays with a fat needle called a bodkin and strapping on hip-exaggerating “pocket hoops.” The hoops, plus petticoats full enough to make Marie Antoinette jealous, support her floor-length, full-skirted cotton gowns. “You definitely take up more room in these clothes, but I’ve gotten used to it,” says the history interpreter. “The first time I tested them out in my apartment, I knocked over a wine glass!” For a little over a year, Keaney, 38, has been slipping into buckled shoes and teeny lace caps for several days a week to conjure the first U.S. first lady. She channels Martha in 1769, before the American Revolution, when the colonies—and her husband—were struggling with British taxes and pondering their freedom. On a typical day, she might give tours of the mansion grounds, conduct a chat explaining the (somewhat) meet-cute she had with George and stroll the property in a wide straw hat while fielding questions from tourists.

common one from kids who have just seen the Washingtons’ on-site tomb.) But show up at Mount Vernon a day or two later and you’ll probably suffer Ye Olde Whiplash. There’s another Martha Washington, this one seemingly zapped in from the National Portrait Gallery. She’s got frizzy white hair, a silk gown in a wallpaper stripe, and, well, several decades on Keaney. That’s Mount Vernon’s other, senior-level Martha, 73-year-old Mary Wiseman, who has been on the job here since 2002. She holds court with tourists in the Interpretive Center on a stage set of sorts - a high-backed chair, a portrait of a young George and a candle flickering on a small table. Oh, and that hair? It’s a wig she affixes with spirit gum. With the hindsight of 1798 (the year her character inhabits) and in a Virginia genteel accent, Wiseman recounts memories such as joining her husband in the Valley Forge camps and hosting Mount Vernon’s rotating cast of houseguests—the Marquis de Lafayette, for one. A flurry of questions, often from children, follows her chat. “Did George Washington tell any lies?” asks one. “Did you have a pet?” asks another. “Yes, my father brought me a bear cub as a child, but we had to let Blackie go eventually,” she replies. Like other history interpreters at attractions around the country (and

world), Keaney and Wiseman function as educational time travelers in a techcrazed modern world. Some re-create famous figures in first person (such as the Marthas and Wild West gunslinger Calamity Jane in South Dakota’s “Deadwood Alive”). Others suit up in throwback garb to play composite characters or types, generally hopping into third person to explain who they are and what they’re up to. Depending on where you’ve landed, you might find deerskin-clad Wampanoag Indians at Massachusetts’ Plimoth Plantation, 1920s townspeople at Den Gamle By (the Old Town) in Arhaus, Denmark, or ancient Egyptian royals at Cairo’s tourist-trappy Pharaonic Village. All interpreters have similar missions: To bring dry or distant eras to crackling life. Most are history buffs or have degrees in museum education. And ideally, they’ve immersed

themselves so deeply in their time, person or site that coming upon one seems unscripted and downright transporting. Wiseman (who played “Lady Washington” at Colonial Williamsburg before Mount Vernon), has been getting in touch with her inner Martha for so long that she can riff on everything from plantation management to 18th-century fashion. “You have to live the topic or person in your head, so when you talk about things, there’s a ring of truth,” she says. To get this knowledge, Wiseman reads biographies, parses George Washington’s diaries and studies paintings of Martha for inspiration.

Deciding When to Retire

Y

ou can get Social Security retirement benefits as early as age 62. However, your benefit will be reduced if you retire before your full retirement age. For example, if you turn age 62 in 2019, your benefit would be about 27.5 percent lower than it would be at your full retirement age of 66 and 6 months. Some people stop working before age 62. But if they do, the years with no earnings will probably mean a lower Social Security benefit when they retire. Sometimes health problems force people to retire early. If you can’t work because of health problems, consider applying for Social Security disability benefits. The disability benefit amount is the same as a full, unreduced retirement benefit. If you’re getting Social Security disability benefits when you reach full retirement age, we convert those benefits to retirement benefits. Delayed retirement You may choose to keep working beyond your full retirement age. If you do, you can increase your future Social Security benefits in two ways. Each extra year you work adds another year of earnings to your Social Security record. Higher lifetime earnings can mean higher benefits when you retire. Also, your benefit will increase a certain percentage from the time you reach full retirement age, until you start receiving benefits, or until you reach

age 70. The percentage varies depending on your year of birth. For example, if you were born in 1943 or later, we’ll add 8 percent to your benefit for each full year you delay receiving Social Security benefits beyond your full retirement age. NOTE: You should sign up for Medicare three months before your 65th birthday, even if you haven’t retired yet. In some circumstances, medical insurance costs more if you delay applying for it. Deciding when to retire Choosing when to retire is an important and personal decision. No matter the age you retire, contact Social Security in advance to learn your choices and make the best decision. Sometimes, your choice of a retirement month could mean higher benefit payments for you and your family. Social Security replaces a percentage of a worker’s pre-retirement income based on their lifetime earnings. The amount of your average wages that Social Security retirement benefits replaces varies depending on your earnings and when you choose to start benefits. If you start benefits at age 67, this percentage ranges from as much as 75 percent for very low earners, to about 6 40 percent for medium earners, and about 27 percent for high earners. If you start benefits earlier than age 67, See RETIRE, 27 THE FREDERICK NEWS-POST

Celebrate the start of summer with a picnic. This year the summer solstice, which marks the official start of summer, falls on June 21. During this time of year, schedules become lax and meals often occur on-thefly — and usually outdoors. When firing up the grill or packing picnic essentials, home chefs should consider which dishes they’ll serve alongside the main course. Of course, no summertime meal would be complete without a tasty potato salad in the mix. This recipe for “Potato Salad with Bacon and Parsley” from Allie Lewis Clapp, Lygeia Grace and Candy Gianetti’s “Real Simple: Easy, Delicious Home Cooking” (Time Home Entertainment) offers a tasty take on this classic dish.

(Serves 6)

SUDOKU

How to Solve Sudoku Puzzles: Fill in the game board so that the numbers 1 through 9 occur exactly once in each row, column and 3x3 box. The numbers can appear in any order and diagonals are not considered. Your initial game board will consist of several numbers that are already placed. Those numbers cannot be changed.Your goal is to fill in the empty squares following the simple rule above.

Place the potatoes in a pot with 1 teaspoon salt and enough water to cover and simmer until tender, 15 to 18 minutes. Drain and run under cold water to cool. Cut into quarters. Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Let cool, then crumble. In a large bowl,whisk together the oil,vinegar, mustard, 3⁄4 teaspoon salt, and 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper. Add the potatoes, bacon and parsley and toss to combine. Tip: The potatoes can be cooked and tossed with the dressing and parsley up to 1 day in advance; refrigerate, covered. Bring to room temperature and add the bacon just before serving.

triangulation. A caregiver can check in via the companion mobile app. The PC Magazine product review website gave the device an excellent rating but notes a drawback: There’s a monthly $44.95 monitoring fee. Any of these devices make fantastic gifts and go a long way to offer you and your loved ones peace of mind. Health Tech Medical expenses increase as we age, but technology can actually help us save money on medicine. FamilyWize is a prescription savings program that offers free digital tools including a mobile app to help seniors find the lowest drug prices and manage their prescriptions. With the app Medicine Cabinet tool, users get alerts when a lower price becomes available. The drug price lookup tool allows users to search for the lowest price within their ZIP code for any FDA-approved medication. A new generation of hearing aids is here. According to the What Mo-

bile website, the new Signia Styletto allows users to adjust the volume and other audio settings via a mobile app. Its portable charging dock allows up to four days of continuous use before needing to power up, and it has fully rechargeable built-in lithium-ion batteries. With innovative function and design, seniors will be proud to wear this device. Most of these technologies have an initial purchase price but many have additional add-ons or subscriptions. Look for reviews and recommendations before purchasing. The digital world can be very intimidating for seniors, but even more daunting can be the fear of injury, becoming disconnected from loved ones or becoming less physically capable. Emerging tech is designed to help ease seniors’ transition and improve their vitality in every way. With a little patience and help from their personal network, they can be set up with more ease and freedom than ever expected. – Creators.com

these percentages would be lower, and after age 67 they’d be higher. Most financial advisers say you will need about 70 percent of pre-retirement income to live comfortably in retirement, including your Social Security benefits, investments, and other personal savings.

that’s centuries-old Egyptian farming methods or 18th-century footwear. (The Marthas have lots to say about Mrs. Washington’s purple wedding shoes.) And don’t be bashful. Remember, you’re not the one in a powdered wig. “Some people don’t know how to play the game when they see someone dressed strangely,” says Garland Wood, who has been pit-sawing and hand hewing wood for 37 years as a carpenter at Colonial Williamsburg. “As an interpreter, I try to start the conversation and put them at ease, to tell them what’s the same and what’s

different about how we operate.” Some sites invite you to join the throwback party in a tactile way, either by suiting up in historic garb or trying your hand at antediluvian crafts or trades. Near Petersburg, Virginia, at Pamplin Historical Park, guests can put on blue (Union) or gray (Confederate) uniforms, skirmish with wooden muskets and try 1860s camp “delicacies” such as hardtack (a dry cracker) and jerky at all-day or overnight Civil War Adventure Camps. – The Washington Post

good,” Paul Kovalcik said. “It is a very popular tourist attraction. We have so many happy visitors. It is just intoxicating. It is very rewarding. I have built a car and thousands of people have gone for a train ride in it.” In operation for a decade, the dinner train runs on the first Saturday of the month from May through August. They also offer mystery dinner trains featuring performers on the third Saturday of those months. From September to November, the mystery dinner trains run on both the first and third Saturday of the month. Carriage House Inn in Emmitsburg caters a four-course meal for patrons who must chose their entree selection when they make reservations. “They provide great options that we can (give) a great meal to people and the response is always well received,” said Brooke Kovalcik. “...They have it down to a science.” Options for those with special dietary needs are available and the menus change every other month. There is a bar on the car but it does not serve alcohol. Guests may bring their own and wine glasses are available for use. There are 10 tables on board with four settings per table. Seating is preassigned based on party numbers. If there are two people at a table, they may be paired with two other diners they may not know. This seating arrangement goes back to older train days. “It takes you away from the technology of being on your phone,” said Brooke Kovalcik. “They have the option for the dinner train to buy a private table but most people actually enjoy meeting somebody new and sitting with somebody and having a nice conversation.” The two hour train ride heads north for three miles then returns to Walkersville and travels south four miles toward Frederick before coming back to Walkersville. The railroad, founded in 1991, cut back on dinner trains this year instead adding more mystery dinner trains due to high demand. As of late April, the mystery dinner trains were sold out through August.

MORE INFORMATION Besides dinner and mystery trains, the Walkersville Southern Railroad has several special events trains for seniors to enjoy. • Outlaws invade the train on June 8, July 13, Aug. 10, Sept. 14 and Oct. 5 as a part of Jesse James Day. Actors portray the lawless crew as they rob the train. • The Civil War returns on Sept. 28 as reenactors board the train, have skirmishes along the tracks and a battle in Walkersville Community Park. • The Star Spangled Fireworks Special on July 5 gives patrons the chance take a train ride and get off at the Walkersville Fire Company carnival grounds in order to watch their annual display. WSRR operates regular trains on weekends from May to October. While many come on beautiful days, Brooke Kovalcik notes it is a fun rainy day activity as well. “It’s like sitting on your front porch,” she said. Brooke Kovalcik notes WSRR is the only local option for dinner trains as other options such as Strasburg Railroad in Lancaster, Pa. and Western Maryland Railroad in Cumberland are more than an hour away. WSRR also attracts people to the area giving rides to people visiting from all over the country including California and some international visitors such as Scotland. “A lot of senior groups come in and do charters,” said Brooke Kovalcik. “It’s nice because for charters we can do luncheons. It’s a nice group activity for our active seniors out there.”
