Welcome My wife Maryann retired from the school district this year enabling us to take our first vacation ever in the month of September. What a treat it was.

The weather wherever we went was beautiful and the fall colors were just beginning to show in the woods. It was Marc Kane, Center Director also the longest vacation we have ever been able to take as well allowing a trek up through Central Oregon then over to Oregon’s north coast and down the entire coast to Brookings. We visited with friends, enjoyed music festivals, hot pools, mountain hikes, kayaking, beautiful beaches, botanical gardens and welcoming communities.

We are thankful for where we live and for the work we have been allowed to engage in over the years that made our vacation possible.

We have moved through our youth and adulthood and are now entering what some writers are referring to as our elder hood. It’s an adjustment but I like the ring of it. It suggests that we have much more to offer in guiding those that are following. It suggests intergenerational engagement and the opportunities for mutual support between those of all ages.

In my field I read a lot about the experiences and challenges of growing older and about the related social changes that come along when the age of the population shifts. There has been a great deal of fear expressed in much of the literature over the development of ageism as the elders become such a large part of the population. Like racism and many other ism’s ageism could be like a cancer that destroys the interdependence that builds successful cultures. Yes, we must guard against such forces but I believe celebrating our achievements is the best defense.

Ageism like all the other ism’s is a two way street. It can be practiced by those growing older in fear of the young as well as by the young fearing the elders. So I offer this challenge to all those growing older to find your purpose in community, make your contribution, share your experience, engage with the young. For those who feel they may be too frail to offer much be open to the support of others and the opportunities that may offer for you to share. And to the young

I encourage you to embrace those of all ages including your elderly neighbors. All the research on aging demonstrates that those that are contributing and find purpose in community are happier and healthier.

Collectively we make stronger communities.

This month there are 18 community service agencies reaching out to you through the United Way campaign. Yes, they need your monetary support and I hope you can give that, but they also are offering an opportunity to share your time and talent. There are volunteer opportunities with all these agencies and with others in the community as well, two of my favorites being the SMART reading program and the Foster Grandparents program. They really bring us all together.

The Octopus Bridge

By Hartter

Autumn Gold

By Sharon Hudson The autumn leaves are Starting to turn gold.

As we watch another season Begin to unfold.

We will soon see purples, And a lot of red.

The wind will pick up and The trees will shed.

Fall... A time of change and reflection The nights will get cooler, Looking without and within for life’s direction. And the days will too.

Sharon (Johnston) Pappas©

Worry

By Sharon (Johnston) Pappas © Do you worry and fret About what to do Where you should go Or how to manage a problem or two What if ‘this’ happens Or fearfully ‘that’ Your mind swirling round Like a circus acrobat Consider the butterfly Or birds in the trees Moving through each day Peacefully…. At ease Never to wonder Panic or agonize For their needs are fulfilled From sunset to sunrise So look to the heavens And deep within God knows where you’re going and Where you’ve been.

The sky should clear up And be back to blue.

Summer was hot, with Too much smoke.

Whoever started fires, Played a mean joke!

Autumn is on its way, and The rains should come.

It should clear the air, And not for just some.

We will all be included and Should breathe with ease.

With fresh clean air In an autumn breeze.

Embrace every day, and Be happy you are here!

Try to remember, God’s Love made it clear!

“Daddy, will you read me a bedtime story?” These words always made me happy. They formed a question which, she knew, I would always answer with “yes”.

My daughter and I shared bedtime stories when she was young. These were usually read from books. But since that first story I told her, one from my own childhood, our stories were more and more often told from the heart.

We had not made our usual trip to the library that day to choose a full week’s worth of new bedtime reading. At bedtime, she was frustrated with her own books. We had read enough of the cute Little Golden Books, purchased as an afterthought while grocery shopping. Even her favorite Dr. Seuss had no appeal. She stood at her bookshelf, clucking her tongue, pulling books out, looking at the covers, sighing, and then shoving them back in place. The story for this bedtime needed to be something special.

“Tahnee, would you like me to tell you a story about when I was a kid and held a live octopus in my bare hands?” I asked. She squealed with excitement and streaked to her bed like a bolt of Dr. Denton lightning. This would be different.

This was a story about Dad; it was something that really happened. Quickly settling down between her blue comforter and dinosaur printed sheets, she looked up at me and said, “Daddy, tell me about the octopus!” I heard this request repeated often while she was little, for she could never seem to get enough of the story. It was just right for her. It became the bridge which connected her childhood to my own.

“This story starts when your Daddy traveled to an island in the ocean. The island is called Puerto Rico and I went there with thirty people from my church to fix up an old, run down elementary school. I was fourteen years old then.” My daughter surveyed my face through squinted eyes, looking past wrinkles, and my grey hair and beard, trying to see me as a fourteen year old boy. I was also trying to reach back over the years to when I made this trip, trying to remember the experience and my feelings at the time, so I could describe it in a way that would be meaningful to her.

“Puerto Rico is a magical place where the ocean is as blue as Berry Blue Kool-Aid and the sand is as white as sugar.

I believe there may even be mermaids living in the depths just off the coast of the island and the sky rains every day for at least fifteen minutes while the sun shines.”

My daughter tugged at my shirt sleeve. ”Daddy, when do we get to the octopus?”

“Soon Tahnee,” I replied. ”I want to tell you the whole story.”

I cleared my throat in mock gesture. “As I said,” I continued, “I went to Puerto Rico to fix up a school for children who were a little older than you. Some of my chores were to refinish the student’s desks, paint the walls in the classrooms, help in the kitchen, and feed the pig.” I made some pig noises for effect and she joined in oinking, snorting and laughing. “The pig was so greedy, that while I poured the kitchen garbage into his trough, he stuck his face right into it and got garbage all over his head. Once, there was a banana peel caught behind his ear like a flower, and he ate his whole lunch with it there.” My daughter put her hand over her mouth and giggled.

“When we finished fixing up the school, we took a tour of the island. We saw castles on the coast that were built by Spanish knights. We visited a rain forest and ate fruit right from the trees. We took a nighttime boat ride across a bay that contained millions of tiny phosphorescent sea creatures that made the water glow and we spent the night on a small island called Cat Island.” My daughter stirred restlessly. Her look told me, “This is all interesting, but Daddy, when do we get to the OCTOPUS?” I held up my hand. “Patience, Tahnee. The next morning everyone ate breakfast on the beach of Cat Island. I was standing on the boat dock when I saw the octopus working his way in the shallow water along the shore under the dock. He was the color of milk chocolate and about two feet around. I leaned over the dock with my face as close to the surface of the water as possible, just so I could see him.

Suddenly, I reached out and gently grabbed him by the head. He squished in my hand like a gummy bear that someone chewed a bit and spit out.”

My daughter’s eyes and mouth were wide open. She was holding her breath. Then she grimaced and stuck her tongue out making the classic “Yuck” face. “How could you grab an ugly, smelly, old octopus by the head?” she asked. ‘Did it hurt you?

What did you do with it?” “He didn’t hurt me.” I responded. “All he did was wrap his tentacles around my arm and hold on for his own dear life. I took a real good look at him and showed him to some of my friends on the beach. They told me to go away because they were eating breakfast. Then, I carefully put him back into the water and he swam away. That’s the end of the story, except that the octopus acted pretty scared when I picked him up. It must have been quite an experience for him as well.

I bet right now he’s deep down in the ocean telling his little girl the same story, but from his perspective, of course.”

My daughter looked a little disappointed. “Well, I wouldn’t be scared, Daddy. I’d pick that old octopus right up, just like you did. Will you tell me the story again?” She didn’t hear the end the second time. She fell fast asleep almost immediately. I watched her sleeping and could imagine my story spinning in her mind, weaving fantastic dreams of Puerto Rico. Dreams wove through my sleep too that night. Dreams of my daughter, swimming with mermaid tail and fins, in a Berry Blue ocean, next to a sugar sand beach, and fearlessly plucking chocolate gummy octopi from the rock candy bottom and eating them whole, in a single gulp.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month Article respectfully submitted by Klamath Hospice

The American Cancer Society states that breast cancer is among the most common cancers for American women; approximately 1 in 8 women develop it during their lifetime. It is estimated that there are more than 2.8 million breast cancer survivors in the United States. As with all cancers, early detection and treatment are key.

The most common symptom of breast cancer is a new lump or mass. The lump may or may not be painful. Other possible symptoms may include, but are limited to: • swelling of all or part of the breast • skin irritation • redness, scaliness, and/or thickening of nipple or breast skin • discharge (not associated with breast milk) • lymph node swelling Many of the risk factors for developing breast cancer cannot be changed.

Examples include: being female, age, inherited genes, family or personal history, race and ethnicity, dense breast tissue, menstruation before age 12, menopause after age 55, or radiation to your chest. Some risk factors, however, are lifestyle-related such as excessive alcohol consumption, being overweight or obese, or lack of physical activity.

If you have concerns about any changes to your breast, it is best to seek guidance from a healthcare professional. To learn further about breast cancer risk factors, prevention tips, treatment options and more, please visit www.cancer.org.

Have Fun - Win $$$

Mark your calendar: the dates for open enrollment are October 15 through December 7, 2019. Why so important to know? The answer: If you want to switch your drug plan, or change into an Advantage Plan, or conversely, switch out of an Advantage plan, this is the time to do it.

KLAMATH BASIN SENIOR CITIZENS’ CENTER

Here are the things you need to check out. Probably the most commonly changed plans are the Medicare Part D prescription drug plans. Every drug plan is different – and has a different price tag. And they all seem to change every year. When you get your notice of 2019 pricing and formulary from your current drug plan, be sure and check it out carefully and make sure you want to keep it. ( This information should be sent to you bay October 1.) Perhaps it’s increasing its premium substantially. We can help you hunt for another one that might be cheaper and still meets your needs. Make sure your plan’s formulary hasn’t changed and all your drugs are still covered. Or perhaps you’ve added some new drugs which your current plan doesn’t cover. Or, even better, perhaps you no longer need to take that very expensive drug which required you to get a more costly plan.

When you make an appointment with SHIBA to check out drug plans, you’ll need to bring in a complete list of the drugs and dosages you’re taking. Changes made during the open enrollment period will become effective January 2019. (Please note that if you’re receiving Extra Help, the Low Income Subsidy (LIS), you can change your drug plan at any time of the year.)

The other change that people can make only during open enrollment period is switching from regular Medicare to an Advantage plan. An Advantage plan covers the same benefits that regular Medicare offers but with a different price tags and co-pays. You can also include your prescription drug package in the Advantage plan. For some people it can prove to be more economical since they seldom go to the doctor. If you’re just curious to see how it works and what’s offered, you may want to come in during open enrollment period and check it out.

If you are currently in an Advantage plan and would like to change into regular Medicare plus a supplement and a stand-alone drug plan, this is the time to do it. Again, new coverage will be effective January 1, 2019. You’ll also have another chance to switch from an Advantage to Original Medicare from January 1 through February 14, 2019. However, the change will not take place until April 1, 2019.

If you have a Medigap (Medicare supplement) that has raised its rates substantially and you’re interested in changing into another plan, you can do this at any time in the year. But remember, Medicare supplemental plans can refuse to insure you if you have pre-existing health conditions – with one important exception. During the 30 day period following your birthday date, you have guaranteed issue to switch plans. –meaning they can’t turn you down during this time period. (This is known as the Birthday Rule.)

Hopefully this information will be helpful for those of you who are uncertain how to handle all the information you’ll be getting in the mail. If you think you might need help with your Medicare options and decisions, be sure and call the Senior Center at 541-883-7171 and ask for an appointment with a certified SHIBA counselor Respectfully submitted, Anne Hartnett, SHIBA Coordinator

The YMCA Senior Excursion

THE YMCA OF KLAMATH FALLS SENIOR EXCURSION Friday, October 20

Have More Control of Your Lifespan “The Telomere Effect” Back in March 2008, my column addressed a study conducted by Kings College in London on the importance of healthy telomeres. Little did I know then that an American molecular biologist, Elizabeth Blackburn, would receive the Nobel Prize in 2009 for her research on telomeres.

And, just this past March, in collaboration with psychologist Elissa Epel, her findings were published in a book for general audiences entitled, “The Telomere Effect.” It is available at the library in hard bound, E-book and audiobook format.

What are telomeres and what function do they serve in our cells? Telomeres sit at the end of strands of DNA like the protective caps on shoelaces.

Fraying and shortening of these caps naturally occur in telomeres over a lifetime of splitting and dividing. Poor lifestyle choices increase the fraying and shortening process thus hastening the loss of cellular protection.

Chromosomes that have lost their protection can rearrange or fuse together contributing to early onset of chronic illness--inflammation, cancer, diseases of the heart and lung. Bottom line: poor lifestyle choices increase diseasespan and shorten lifespan!

How can you protect early premature aging of your cells? You guessed it: a regimen of regular aerobic and strength training exercise; sound dietary choices (see below), reducing stress via meditation and mindfulness, Qigong, Tai Chi or yoga; healthy sleep patterns; and, by not smoking!

Having a purpose and socializing with positive like-minded friends--the right tribe--are pluses.

Dr. Josh Axe, DNM, DC, CNS, a certified doctor of natural medicine, doctor of chiropractic and clinical nutritionist has a lengthy article on telomeres which support Blackburn’s findings on: https://draxe.com/telomeres/.

Much like the Blue Zones Project, he promotes fresh whole food choices-primarily plant based--leafy green vegetables and Vitamin C rich foods, along with legumes, nuts and sweet potatoes.

If you’d like to start an exercise program, please leave your name and phone number with the Senior Center Front Desk. I will phone you to schedule an appointment.

Care and Connection: Loneliness Affects All Ages “Lonely people have differences in their biology that make them more vulnerable to disease,” Cole explains. He and colleagues have studied how loneliness affects the immune system, your body’s disease fighting system. They found that loneliness may alter the tendency of cells in the immune system to promote inflammation.

Inflammation is necessary to help our bodies heal from injury. But when it goes on too long, it may raise the risk of chronic diseases.

People who feel lonely may also have weakened immune cells that have trouble fighting off viruses. “So that leaves lonely people more vulnerable to a variety of infectious diseases,” Cole adds.

Human beings are social creatures. Feeling like we’re part of a community helps us thrive. But we sometimes have a hard time making and keeping the relationships that sustain us. Many Americans report feeling lonely for long periods of time. Connections with others are important for your health.

Social isolation and loneliness can both cause problems. “Isolation is about whether other people are physically there or not. Being lonely is about not feeling connected to others. You can feel lonely in a room full of people,” explains Dr. Steve Cole, an NIH-funded researcher at the University of California, Los Angeles, who studies loneliness.

Loneliness not only feels bad, it may also be harmful to your health. People who feel lonely are at higher risk of many diseases. These include heart disease, high blood pressure, and Alzheimer’s disease. Loneliness may also increase the risk of death for older adults.

Some of the increased risk of disease may come from changes in behavior. People who feel isolated may not have friends or family encouraging them to eat right, exercise, or see a doctor. New research suggests that loneliness can also directly harm our health.

People often associate loneliness with getting older. But you can feel lonely at any age. A recent survey found that young Americans are more likely to feel lonely than older adults. Some research suggests that social media tools and resources are preventing younger people from connecting in real life, Cole says. However, more studies are needed to know whether this is true.

It can be hard for people to talk about loneliness, Cole explains. They may feel like something is wrong with them, even though feeling lonely happens to almost everyone at some point.

NIH-funded researchers are looking into ways to help people break the cycle of loneliness.

Studies have shown that feelings of loneliness can be reduced by helping others, Cole says.

Caregiving and volunteering to help others may therefore help people to feel less lonely.

Having a sense of purpose in life may be another way to fight the effects of loneliness. Research has found that having a strong sense of mission in life is linked to healthier immune cells. “And when you start to pursue a goal that’s important to you, you almost always have to cooperate with others to do that,” Cole says. “That helps bring people together.”

Wise Choices Get Involved With Others Being active in your community and helping others can reduce feelings of loneliness. You can get more involved with others by: • serving meals or organizing clothing donations for people in need.

• helping an organization send care packages to soldiers stationed overseas.

• caring for dogs and cats at an animal shelter.

• volunteering to run errands for people with disabilities.

• helping with gardening at a community garden or park.

• volunteering at a school, library, museum, or hospital.
