Cars, Cars, and More Cars
Cars have been a part of our lives since the 1800s. Well, maybe our lives don’t stretch back that far, but the history of the automobile as we know it can be traced back to Karl Benz in the 1880s. Do you know who first began designing self-propelled vehicles? The answer (and date) may surprise you: Leonardo da Vinci in the 15th century.
The Bug Everyone Loved Summertime is the time for bugs. However, when it comes to automobiles, the VW Bug may bring back pleasant memories. Sadly, Volkswagen is no longer bringing back the VW Beetle. On July 10, 2019, the last Beetle rolled off the Mexican assembly line and into the hearts of “punch buggy” players worldwide. (Punch buggy was a travel game wherein children would punch each other in the arm when they saw a VeeWee Beetle.)
VW Beetle Facts and Fables
Facts • Ferdinand Porsche was commissioned by Adolph Hitler in 1938 Germany to design an affordable vehicle to promote car ownership—a true “people’s car” (the meaning of volks wagen). • Although created in Nazi Germany, it became an icon for the 1960s peace-loving hippies. • The last Beetles are being sold on Amazon. • The Bug was more than a means of transportation; it was fun to play with. Hippies painted and decorated them, giving visual meaning to “flower power.” Clowns and college students crammed into them; weightlifters picked up the front end. • The most famous VeeWee is probably Herbie, “The Love Bug,” a 1963 Beetle who starred in several films in the late 60s.
• In the 1999 Car of the Century competition — an international award given to the most influential car of the 20th century — the Beetle came in fourth behind the Ford Model T, the Mini and the Citroen DS. • The Bug surpassed the Ford Model T as the best-selling car in history (which is pretty good considering the competition is much greater now) — The Model T line ended in 1927 with 15 million sales; the Beetle ends with 21.5 million sold.
Fables • VW came up with the Beetle “look.” It seems Tatra, a Czech company, built similar vehicles a decade earlier. • The Volkswagen Beetle was always called the Beetle. Its original name was the Volkswagen Type 1 (not much more clever than Ford’s Model T). VW eventually adopted the name in 1967. • Volkswagen only makes VW cars. They actually make other cars, including Audi, Bentley, Porsche, and even Bugatti (a fancy bug?) and Lamborghini. • Volkswagens are always reliable. Despite the scene in Woody Allen’s movie, “Sleeper,” where he finds a rusted-out 200-year-old Bug in a cave and starts it right up, their reliability has diminished in recent years.

Rip Torn — R.I.P. Mr. Torn made his reputation as a gifted actor in the works of Tennessee Williams and in roles as diverse as Walt Whitman, Richard Nixon and Judas Iscariot. Rip Torn, a versatile stage and screen actor, perhaps best known for his role as the gruff producer, Artie, on “The Larry Sanders Show,” recently passed away on July 9, 2019. The legendary character actor, 88 years old, died in his home in Lakeville, Conn. Mr. Torn never achieved the household-word fame of many actors, but he portrayed many major characters, including Walt Whitman, director Carlo Ponti, and presidents Ulysses S. Grant, Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard M. Nixon. He also played many unsavory characters in the 1970s. Mr. Torn’s career spanned many decades and media; he was a master of stage, screen, and television, directing and performing into his 80s. Offstage, he was known as a master of mayhem, often displaying his violent temper in brawls and barfights. The intensity of his emotions carried over into his acting, whether the drama of a Tennessee Williams play or the comedy of

Walking Is an Excellent Exercise
Mary DeHaven, St. Luke’s University Health Network Looking for a low-cost exercise that will strengthen your muscles, improve your balance, reduce weight gain and lower your risk of heart disease, stroke, osteoporosis and diabetes? Then, lace up your sneakers and start walking.
In addition, St. Luke’s hosts Walk with a Doc events at several St. Luke’s campuses and other locations. Events begin with a short educational talk by a doctor followed by a walk at one’s own pace and distance. These events are listed on St. Luke’s website sluhn.org. To increase your success with walking, Dr. Baba offers these five suggestions: • Recruit a buddy to walk with you. Chances are you’re more likely to stick with a walking program if you have someone to go with. • Start small and increase the length of your walk as you are able. Set a goal of 30 minutes a day, five days a week, however, even a 10-minute walk is beneficial. As you grow stronger increase your pace.
“Almost anyone of any age and fitness level can benefit from walking,” said Michael Baba, DO, St. Luke’s Family Practice, Wind Gap. “It’s one of the best exercises for older adults because it can be performed at low or moderate intensity, is easy on the joints and has a low risk of injury. Even people who walk with a cane or a walker can enjoy a stroll in their neighborhood, park or local mall. Walking is also low cost, which is an added plus for seniors on fixed incomes. All you need is a good pair of shoes.” One of the biggest benefits of walking is its effect on cardiovascular health. Studies have shown that walking reduces high blood pressure and cholesterol and lowers one’s risk of developing diseases. Also, walking helps to improve circulation, keep joints flexible, reduce arthritic pain and improve balance. It can even reduce anxiety or depression. Dr. Baba suggests that you talk to your primary care physician about the level of exercise that’s right for you. For those who have been inactive for several years, he recommends that they start out slowly – say five minutes a day – and increase the duration of walks over time. This summer, St. Luke’s offers Hikes for Health at Jacobsburg Park. Hikers get exercise while learning about health and fitness outdoors. The program is provided by the PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources in partnership with St. Luke’s University Health Network and the Get Your Tail on the Trail program. Get Your Tail on the Trail participants log miles and earn prizes for completing challenges. Visit tailonthetrail.org for more information.
• Invest in a good pair of shoes and replace them as needed. • Make it part of your routine. For example, walk first thing in the morning or after dinner – whatever works best for your schedule. • Vary your route to keep it fresh. Class of 2

I stayed up all night to see where the sun went. Then it dawned on me.
Genetic Testing Scam Targeting Pennsylvania’s Seniors Center for Advocacy for the Rights and Interests of the Elderly (CARIE) Seniors all across the country, including those residing in Pennsylvania, have been faced with yet another predatory scam aimed at stealing their information to fraudulently bill Medicare. Scammers have been targeting beneficiaries at health fairs, over the phone, online, and in the general community, by offering “free” cheek swabs for genetic testing for cancer screening. Regardless of what the vendor states, it is important for seniors to recognize the scam and understand the importance of protecting their information.
What you should know Medicare will only cover genetic testing for colorectal cancer screening as certified by a patient’s physician. Many fraudulent vendors will not mention the constraints of the test, because they are simply interested in gathering the beneficiary’s personal information and Medicare number. Once the scammer has a patient’s Medicare information and conducts the cheek swab, an affiliated physician who never met the patient will sign an order for a diagnostic — not screening — test that they certify to be medically necessary to diagnose or treat cancer. The signed physician’s order will be sent to a lab that could bill Medicare upwards of $10,000 for the screening. Essentially, the vendor, physician, and lab, collaborate to trick Medicare into paying for an illegitimate test and then divide the payments among each other for a profit. Many beneficiaries also report that they never receive their results. Beneficiaries can protect themselves and their Medicare by only providing their information or Medicare number to their personal health care providers. Seniors should steer clear of people conducting unsolicited tests or offering equipment or other services. If you think you need any sort of test or medical equipment, talk to your personal doctor first. Further, anyone offering “free” services in exchange for Medicare information is likely a scammer and this should immediately raise a red flag.
Remember that once you give your personal insurance information to someone who offers you a free service, it could be sold to other scammers. Seniors are encouraged to monitor their quarterly Medicare Summary Notice (MSN) or other health care statement for any services that were billed but not received, duplicate charges, or anything that was not ordered by their doctor. If fraud or an error is suspected, call the Pennsylvania Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) at 1-800-356-3606 for free, confidential help.
Fun With Words
A bar was walked into by the passive voice. An oxymoron walked into a bar, and the silence was deafening. Two quotation marks walk into a “bar.” A malapropism walks into a bar, looking for all intensive purposes like a wolf in cheap clothing, muttering epitaphs and casting dispersions on his magnificent other, who takes him for granite. Hyperbole totally rips into this insane bar and absolutely destroys everything. A question mark walks into a bar? A non sequitur walks into a bar. In a strong wind, even turkeys can fly. Papyrus and Comic Sans walk into a bar. The bartender says, “Get out — we don’t serve your type.” A mixed metaphor walks into a bar, seeing the handwriting on the wall but hoping to nip it in the bud. Three intransitive verbs walk into a bar. They sit. They converse. They depart. A synonym strolls into a tavern. At the end of the day, a cliché walks into a bar — fresh as a daisy, cute as a button, and sharp as a tack. A run-on sentence walks into a bar it starts flirting with a cute little sentence fragment.

Non-medical home care includes a wide variety of companionship, home helper and personal care services that helps individuals with living activities as well as ensure a safe environment. All non-medical home care companies are licensed by the state of Pennsylvania. Payment for services is often made by the client as traditional medical insurance does not cover non-medical home care. For those who qualify, non-medical home care may be paid for partially or fully through Medicaid (via the County’s Aging Waiver Program), Veterans Assistance and long-term care insurance. The average cost of non-medical home care services can range from $18 - $28 per hour, depending on one’s needs.

Rehab / Therapy
Skilled Nursing Facilities provide 24-hour care for those requiring rehabilitation or for those with long-term illnesses. Services may include medical care, therapies and assistance with activities of daily living. Facilities are licensed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Depending on an individual’s circumstances, costs for skilled nursing and rehabilitation can be covered fully or partially by Medicare, Medicaid, major insurance, and long-term care insurance. In some cases, care needs to be paid for by an individual’s private funds, in which case monthly costs can range between $10,000 and $14,000.
