Remote regatta Model yacht club takes to the lake

BY RYAN MARSHALL

marshall@newspost.com

O

n a warm and blustery Saturday in June, with the stiff breeze making a good day for sailing, a dozen enthusiasts prepared their crafts on the shores of Frederick’s Whittier Lake.

With the cry of “Boats in the water!” a flotilla of small model boats glided silently through the water, with the occasional rustle of a sail the only noise.

But along the shore, there was plenty of action.

Members of the Northern Maryland Model Yacht Club paced quickly along the edge of the lake, twisting the knobs

of their remote controls as they guided their boats around a series of buoys, as they tried to stay ahead of the pack.

As one race began, Bart Drummond was deciding if he wanted to start with a port or starboard tack — i.e., with his main sail leaning left or right.

“What way is the wind going?” he muttered to himself as he fiddled with the knobs and joystick that control the rudder and the sail of his 650-centimeter sailboat.

Each race consists of two laps around a series of buoys at one end of the lake. Sailors have to avoid running into each other’s boats, as well as follow other rules that guide the races.

“That’s what makes this sport very unique,” Drummond said. “It’s easy to get a boat and sail it around in a pond ... but it’s hard to win a race because there’s certain rules you have to follow.”

The 12 boats represented a

good turnout, Drummond said.

The club has 18 members, but people from other clubs usually attend events, too.

The group gathers on the first Saturday of each month to race their radio-controlled boats, drawing boaters from Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia, Drummond said.

“Out here, we just want to have fun,” he said.

He’s trying to promote the club to new people and suggested that married couples who are having problems give the sport a try. They can work on the boat, as well as travel and sail together. “It gives you time together,” he said.

While he works on the boat, his wife also participates.

“She’s not quite as competitive as me,” he said with a chuckle.

Club member Mike Cavanaugh enjoys the camaraderie and competition of race days and has made friends in multiple states through his hobby.

He remembers seeing a grandfather and grandson sailing a model boat on a lake in Michigan when he was younger, “and they were having so much fun, I was just hooked,” he said.

Now he has a dozen boats and races as often as possible.

He said he prefers sailing models to real boats. “When you’re in a sailboat, you can’t see how pretty it is,” he said.

For Mari Spina, the joy is the chance to be outside with the combination of the sun, wind and your own reflexes, as you guide your boat around the lake. “I commune with the water,” she said.

Spina has participated in races for about five years and owns 13 boats in a variety of classes.

Your first year of racing is typically spent learning the basics of the sport and how to control your boat — “then maybe you’re competitive,” Spina said.

One of the purposes of the club is to help new racers practice and gain skills.

They usually race five to six individual races, take a break to announce the winners, and then split into teams with better racers teaming up with those at the bottom of the standings.

They give each team about 10 minutes to talk, allowing more experienced sailors to mentor newer ones, Drummond said.

“We want everybody to get better, and this is one of the ways we do that,” he said.

Finding a part-time job

W

hat do you want to do when you retire?

At first, many people answer, “As little as possible.” Or perhaps they decide to take a few trips they’ve been putting off. But in many cases, the novelty of sleeping in every morning wears thin after a few months or years. In other cases, they find themselves short of cash for their retirement travels or lifestyle.

So how do you choose a part-time job after you’ve cashed in your pension and deleted your resume? Here are a few ideas.

Go back to your old boss What was your favorite job? If you ever had a career that you enjoyed except for the pressure and time commitment, consider setting up a meeting with your ex-boss and asking whether he or she needs a part-time employee. A post-retirement job is likely to be much less pressure, since you don’t have a career to think of and can quit whenever you like. Besides, you could enjoy working with your former co-workers.

Consider customer service or retail If you’re an outgoing person, and especially if you have prior experience, customer service and retail are perhaps the most obvious places to look for parttime work. After all, it’s increasingly rare for shops and restaurants to hire students, because few of them are willing to work around student’s schedules, but these places are still constantly on the lookout for flexible part-time workers.

money, you can take your pick of service jobs in your area.You may even be able to work at your favorite local business.

Think about your hobbies If you have a pastime that you’ve never had time for before, now is the time to turn it into a career. If you’re into arts and crafts, try setting aside time every day to paint or do woodworking.

Then you can sell your products on social media, on a commercial site or in a consignment shop.

Consider a government job America’s national parks always need part-time and seasonal employees. You can find listings for park jobs on usajobs.com, along with listings for part-time clerical jobs at government offices, groundskeeper work and child care positions. The advantage of these jobs is that they tend to pay relatively well and have some benefits.

Substitute teach or tutor School districts are almost always short of substitute teachers, so if being around kids appeals to you, consider getting certified as a sub. It’s a flexible job, and you’ll become a familiar face around your local school district. Or consider freelancing as an after-school tutor — in person or over Zoom.

Working part time is a good way to get out of the house and make some extra money during retirement. It can be a structured way to explore a hobby or job that you’ve never done or a limited way of getting back into your old career.

Music to my years

PEOPLE

BY JERRY ZEZIMA TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

W

hen I think of the legendary concerts in music history — the Beatles at Shea Stadium in New York City; Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and other rock giants at Woodstock; me as the guest triangle player for the Stamford Symphony Orchestra — the one I remember as the greatest was my granddaughter Chloe’s third-grade recorder concert, which was held recently in the cafeteria of her elementary school.

I am not the kind of person to toot my own horn — except, of course, the one in my car — but I will toot Chloe’s. Or I would if I could play it. Still, her performance deserved a Granny Award, which is named for my wife, Sue, who happens to be the maestro’s grandmother.

Sue and I were among the dozens of lucky concertgoers who included Chloe’s little sister, Lilly, a kindergartner who skipped class for the monumental event, and our younger daughter, Lauren, the girls’ mommy.

As 80 students from five classes stood on risers — Chloe was, fittingly, in the front row — I thought about my only concert appearance.

It occurred about 25 years ago at the Palace Theater in my hometown of Stamford, Connecticut.

Even though I am not proficient on any musical in-

Required to wear formal attire, I rented a tuxedo that made me look like a deranged panda. As the musicians were warming up and the unsuspecting ticket holders began settling into their seats, I introduced myself to the conductor, Skitch Henderson, who was Johnny Carson’s

original “Tonight Show” bandleader.

“I’m the guest triangle player,” I told him.

“Do you have any experience with the triangle?” he asked.

“Only in high school geometry,” I answered. “I got a D.” Henderson looked like a deer caught in the headlights of a car. Then he smiled weakly and stammered, “Have fun!”

The selection for my solo was Gilbert and Sullivan’s “The Yeoman of the Guard.”

Considering that I was sweating nervously, it should have

THE FREDERICK NEWS-POST

been called “The Yeoman of the Right Guard.”

I stepped forward, triangle and beater in hand, and set off a series of dings, bings and clings, for which I received rapturous applause. At the end of the concert, I got a standing ovation.

Since I figured I could never top that one magic moment, I immediately retired from my brief music career.

That’s why I looked forward to Chloe’s concert. Even though she didn’t have a solo, she was prominent enough in my eyes (and ears) to be the star of the show.

Under the direction of Lauren Anasky and with help from accompanist Rob Ozman, the kids began with a stirring rendition of “Hot Cross Buns.”

The other selections were “French Song,” “Merrily We Roll Along,” “Old Brass Wagon,” “Tideo,” “All Alone,” “Leapin’ Lizard,” “The Clock and the Moon,” “Starburst” and, the grand finale, “Whacky Do Re Mi,” which the children sang.

All through the performance, I concentrated on Chloe, who not only played perfectly, but wiggled and warbled wondrously.

At the conclusion of the half-hour show, the moms, dads and grandparents in the audience rose to their feet and gave the talented musicians — especially, I like to think, Chloe — a huge round of applause.

She handed her instrument back to a school staffer and greeted us with characteristic modesty. But I could envision her going on to bigger things, like playing the recorder in a legendary concert at Carnegie Hall.

If the conductor could stand the shock, I’d love to come out of retirement and be the guest triangle player.

Safe and effective use of music with seniors

By ELDER SERVICES PROVIDER COUNCIL among seniors for several reasons rang-

T

he 19th-century poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow once said, “Music is the universal language of mankind.” This statement continues to stand true today.

Music has proven to be quite impactful, so much so that it has become a tool to elicit specific desired responses from individuals.

We see this often with seniors.

Psychologist Joyce Brothers said, “Music is stored in the long-term memory.

When we learn something through music, we tend to remember it longer and believe it more deeply.” This statement beautifully explains why we see such a strong response to music among our senior populations. When music is associated with an experience, a memory or a concept, hearing that same music often helps us to recall that specific time. Common responses to music can include increased alertness, increased motivation, increased communication and decreased agitation.

Being that there can be such positive responses to music, it can be a wonderful tool for caregivers of seniors to incorporate into a care routine. Neurologically, music stimulates various areas of the brain simultaneously, helping it to work more efficiently, like a workout for your body. Research has also shown us that using preferred music has the best results.

We often see a decrease of activity

ing from increased difficulty to depression. Music can often help to motivate individuals to engage in both recreational and necessary physical activity, resulting in maintenance of strength and range of motion.

Similarly, it is common for seniors to become lethargic or less alert. Introducing preferred music can assist in engaging individuals and eliciting a positive emotion, causing them to alert to a familiar song.

While music can be a powerful tool, it is important to understand that music can also cause harm. When used carelessly or inappropriately, music can cause overstimulation, prompt a painful memory, trigger a trauma response or cause agitation. It is important to observe the individual’s responses to the music to ensure there is no adverse reaction. Negative responses can be a serious matter and can cause harm to the individual’s mental, emotional or neurological states.

If you notice a negative response to music, you can reach out to a board-certified music therapist to assist in assessing the individual and the appropriateness of using music. A music therapist is trained to avoid, navigate or respond to both positive and negative responses to music, adapt the music to be appropriate for the individual’s needs, and provide education for caregivers and family.

Cause for alarm?

Is memory loss mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer’s or just aging? lengthy cognitive tests — looking at memory, at problem solving, reasoning, language use and other measures — that help doctors tell the difference.

“If you were to meet with me, for example, for an evaluation,” Schroeder said, “you’d spend probably about four hours of your life with me, talking to me, doing testing. After we’re done, I’d sit down with you and go over the results. I’d determine: Is this normal aging? Is this mild cognitive impairment? Is this dementia?”

Schroeder said almost everyone becomes

or people of a certain age, it takes only a few “senior moments” — struggling for words, names or memories — to cause worry.

Is this normal aging or mild cognitive impairment (MCI)? Is it all a run-up to Alzheimer’s?

As a neuropsychologist at the University of Kansas Medical Center-Wichita, Ryan Schroeder conducts the

forgetful as they age.

“From a biological perspective, our brain is growing and developing up until age 25 or 30. Then our brains are aging,” he said. “We see a very, very slow decline in many thinking abilities, including memory. We don’t wake up one day and say I feel different. But you might wake up in your 60s and think, ‘Man, my memory is not quite as sharp as it used to be,’ just because it’s such a gradual change. But it is a change.”

Example: A person going to the grocery store at age

20, he said, would likely be able to remember a list of 10 items without writing them down. But at 60, it would probably require a list. That’s normal.

And if one was later tested on those 10 words?

“Kind of a rough ballpark,” Schroeder said. “if you’re 65 and you’re getting 10: Hey, that’s fantastic. But seven or so is probably fairly realistic.

Then, if after we’re chatting, I said, ‘Hey, by the way, now, tell me what those words were again.’ If you originally remembered seven, you should

In numerous cases, mild cognitive impairment is found to be caused by something completely aside from Alzheimer’s, such as obstructive sleep apnea or memory-hurting medications, depression or other disorders like Parkinson’s disease. Vascular problems such as undetected strokes can be a cause, as can a vitamin B-12 deficiency or mood disorders.

probably be able pull up at least five or six of them 30 minutes later after being distracted.

“But if you’re really struggling to pull those words up, that probably is going to be more than normal aging.”

The older one gets, he said, the less likely one would be to remember. Both memory lapses and the risk of Alzheimer’s increase with age. Age, in fact, is the leading risk factor for Alzheimer’s. Given that, neurologist Suzanne Schindler, a researcher at the Knight Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center at Washington University in St. Louis, offered advice.

“So the key thing to remember is that everyone has memory lapses,” she said. “We have more memory lapses when we’re stressed, when we’re sick, when we’re trying to do a lot of things at the same time.

“When people come into my clinic, typically it’s been when there has been a change, or there’s not a clear reason for why they’re having difficulties.

For example, we all lose our keys from time to time, or our cell phone. But if

we’ve lost it several times in the past errors, that’s certainly a level where month, or we’ve missed appointments, someone needs to get evaluated.” or we keep repeating questions to peoNeurologist Russell Swerdlow, diple in a way that’s different from the rector of the KU Alzheimer’s Disease past, then that’s when people start to Research Center, expanded on the point. get concerned.”

In numerous cases, mild cognitive impairment is found to be caused by something completely aside from Alzheimer’s, such as obstructive sleep apnea or memory-hurting medications, depression or other disorders like Parkinson’s disease. Vascular problems such as undetected strokes can be a cause, as can a vitamin B-12 deficiency or mood disorders.

When those problems are treated, mild cognitive impairment can often go away.

Schroeder said, “If a neighbor were to ask me, I’d say, ‘If you’re concerned about your memory or cognition, get it checked out. At least you’ll know what’s going on as opposed to wondering each day — wondering each time a memory mishap happens — oh, my goodness, what’s going on here?

“And there’s a chance that it’s something that is addressable, is treatable.

If it’s not, you can find ways, hopefully, to slow down the changes. But at least you’ll know what’s going on.”
