Rutland Halloween Parade One of the biggest annual events in Rutland County, the Halloween Parade, will celebrate its 58th annual marching on Saturday, Oct. 28, at 6:30 p.m. in downtown Rutland. The parade theme again this year is “Halloween.” The event draws thousands of participants and spectators from all over the state and features more than
them. The only medication not accepted are liquids. Humphries advised residents to contact their pharmacy to determine how to dispose of the liquid prescriptions. There will be drug take back collection points at the Fair Haven police department, Castleton police department, Rutland pharmacy, Rutland Hospital and Rutland County Sheriff ’s Department from 10 a.m. till 2 p.m. Chief Ernie Bassett said his departments in Granville and Whitehall are not hosting special take back day events, but that they are always collecting medication. “We collect prescription medications on a daily basis,” Bassett said. “We don’t have one set time,
because we have a box outside our office and the on-duty also collects,” he added. The two departments collect hundreds of pounds of pills as well as liquids and sharps each year. The drugs are then turned over to the Washington County Sheriff ’s Department to be destroyed. “Most of it is prescription meds that weren’t utilized,” Bassett said. “It’s good to get rid of them and not leave those hanging around,” he said, citing several reasons, including safety concerns for young children and reducing risk of being targeted by an addict. Bassett said medication is turned in at both the Granville and Whitehall stations “pretty frequently.”
100 floats and costumed marching units assembled by organizations, schools, local businesses, political organizations and more. One of the most fun and elaborate family friendly things to do in the Rutland area, the parade has been held the last Saturday before Halloween the past few years.

Celani, regarding the number of trees submitted each year. Most trees are donated to the museum and sold at a silent auction, which runs from Dec. 1-9 from 4-to 9 p.m. Others are displayed for a fee of $25 and returned to their owners. Bidding on the trees takes place the evening of the event and extends through the following Saturday, Dec. 9, during regular museum hours. At exactly 3:30 p.m. on Dec. 9, the bids will be collected and the winners announced. “Some people wait around and bid up until the last minute,” Celani said, noting a few close races in the past. The theme, Celani said, is very important. “Think out of the box,” she said, mentioning that hobbies, collections, songs, movies and even items found in a junk drawer are all good inspirations for trees. Ideas found on Pinterest and in magazines are fair game, Celani added. “If you have designed trees in the previous years, we ask that designs be changed to continue to create interest. Maybe you went on a trip and you have mementos from the trip you can make into ornaments,” said Celani. Each tree should include a name, brief description of the theme and dimensions. Trees should also be artificial and decorations should be firmly attached. “It warms our hearts here at the museum seeing so many organizations come together making trees for the festival,” said Krista Rupe, executive director of the museum.

Twig Remembers Doreen Sweeney Dodge In 1972 a Federal Law came out that decreed equal rights for women in all sports. Shortly after that time at Fair Haven Union there was an influx of superb female athletes and it showed right away on the basketball floor. That 1975 team had three prolific scores in two time All MVL Star and Mary Beayon and a newcomer to the team Peggy Brough who had earned her skills banging the boards with her older brothers on the hoop in their side yard. Now they needed some guards to get the ball to the big girls and entered Nancy Davis, Kim Buxton and Doreen Sweeney. Doreen was not only an excellent passer, but also a scrappy, ball hawking defender. Doreen was an excellent second grade teacher and worked with my sister Ann up at Orwell Elementary. When she came down with cancer, my sister would keep me posted. A week or two before she died I was up at Shaw’s wrestling to free a cart and this very thin, drawn lady said “Hi Twig.” I didn’t recognize her until she smiled. I yelled her name and she turned. I pointed at her and I smiled and said, “Slater Girls Basketball 1975.” She gave me this broad smile, said “Thank you” and walked out with the young man who was with her. I honestly think that she knew what I would be writing about her. God bless Doreen and it was a pleasure to watch you play. What a little scrapper.

Wow, I’ve known Dick for 60 years. He’s been a lot of things – a teacher, a selectman, a member of the FHUHS school board and an accountant. Dick was a mainstay in the choir at Our Lady of Seven Dolors Church. He was three years behind me in school, but where I got to know him best was as members of Fran LaPlaca’s FHUHS alumni chorus. We had a great group of guys who occupied the back two rows as baritones and bass. We had Bob Dollar, Steve Whalen, Dave Garvey and Rick Buxton. We had a lot of fun back there that made for a relaxed atmosphere to work. And now that nice little Catholic boy is heading into a place he always dreamt of. I’m going to end with a Frankie Lane song from the early 1950’s. “Up in mornin’, out of the job, work like devil for my pay. And that lucky ole sun, has nothin’ to do, but roll around heaven all day.” Enjoy Mr. Frazier, enjoy!

Poultney attracts many seniors By Krystle S. Morey Exciting trips, prepared meals and educational programs are what draw seniors to the Young at Heart Senior Center in Poultney. The senior center serves lunch starting at 11:15 a.m. Tuesday through Friday each week. Meals include pulled pork, macaroni and cheese, bacon and vegetable quiche and more. Suggested donations for meals is $3.50 for seniors 60 or older and $4.50 for younger guests. Those interested in eating should call the center at 802-287-9200 one day in advance to reserve a plate. Cancellations are appreciated. Its birthday dinners, which are held each month, are some of the most popular, said site director Kathy Hutson. “One month it will be a full turkey dinner and another month it will be ham and scalloped potatoes. Those attract the most people and we can serve up to 67 people,” she said. Young at Heart is the only meal site in Rutland County that prepares all of its meals on-site. The center serves about 1,000 meals per month on-site and via its Meals-onWheels program, said Hutson. There are about 30-40 people who
The Young at Heart Senior Center in Poultney. eat there regularly. Meals on Wheels are delivered by volunteers to seniors who are unable to come to the center. Arrangements for Meals on Wheels can be made by contacting the Vermont Council on Aging at 802786-5990. The center’s reach expands far beyond Poultney, serving meals to residents Vermont and New York towns, including Fair Haven,
Granville, Castleton, Rutland and Middletown. “Just because we’re located in Poultney doesn’t mean that we just serve Poultney residents,” Hutson said. “A lot of people come to us.” Just as important as eating right is exercising and staying informed, Hutson said. Twice a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30-10:30 a.m., the center offers Bone Builders, a low-
impact exercise class. It also hosts programs with speakers from various agencies including Center of Vermont Elders (COVE), the Rutland County Sheriff ’s Department and Rutland Regional Medical Center. Discussions range from Medicare updates to health and safety issues for seniors. “…everything from proper disposal of medication to safety in the home or parking lots,” Huston said. “It helps keep them informed and keeps them in the loop and educated about issues around them,” she added. “It keeps the seniors a part of the process.” Young at Heart also offers free use of Wi-Fi and laptops. “We don’t get much use of the laptops, but a lot of people use the Wi-Fi,” Hutson said. “People who have smartphones and kindles, they come in and show their dinner-mates pictures of their grandkids. They also look up things and watch funny cat videos,” she joked. Young at Heart also offers fun for seniors and adults outside the center. It has two bus trips planned for next year. One trip, to the Canadian Island See POULTNEY, pg. 24
Center of attention: Castleton’s seniors By Matthew Saari It’s never a dull moment at the Castleton Community Center. Whether it is nutrition, health, fitness, educational or recreational, seniors over 60 can find it all at the Castleton Community Center. Leading the itinerary are the community center’s “Great Courses,” which are college-level courses that focus on a wide variety of subject matter. Last year it was religion, this year the first course, Customs of the World, naturally covers the different cultures found throughout the world. “It’s a really interesting course for people who like to travel,” said director Jo Ann Riley. The second course, Unexpected Economics, covers a wide range of topics, including donations, charities, risk and uncertainty and more. “It’s very diverse,” Riley said. Customs of the World is held on Wednesdays at 1:30 p.m. while Unexpected Economics is held on Thursdays at 1 p.m. The center also offers a very exhaustive health and wellness program, which is geared towards seniors. Each day of the week offers a different course with a different focus. Dance for health, Bone Builders, Better Balance and several levels of
The Castleton Community Center. Tai Chi are just a sampling of the courses offered at the Castleton Community Center. “We have a whole group – we call them young old adults. They’re looking for activities that are more active,” Riley said. The center also offers lunch for seniors Monday through Wednesday. Each meal is donationbased with a suggested contribution of $4 for seniors and $5 for nonseniors. If you plan on attending please secure a reservation with the center by 10 a.m. the day prior. For
Monday’s meal, the deadline is 10 a.m. Friday. The reason for the deadline is so center staff can obtain an accurate headcount and freshly prepare enough food. The center also maintains a transportation program which provides senior citizens a ride to doctor’s appointments, the grocery store and other necessary locales they may otherwise be unable to reach. “They can’t come and enjoy the programs here if they can’t get
here,” joked Riley. More than 5,000 rides are provided annually. Rides are available, free-of-charge Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Beginning in October, the community center began hosting a book discussion with the program focusing on America Aflame: How the Civil War Created a Nation. “It covers the years leading up to the Civil War,” Riley said. “So it is subject matter not usually covered in Civil War discussions.” Last, but certainly not least, the Castleton Community Center hosts a bevy of intellectually stimulating activities throughout the week such as Mahjong, Dominoes, Bridge and more. Some events are held twice a week while others are held bimonthly. “They have been very popular with seniors – it keeps them mentally sharp,” Riley said. The Castleton Community Center is located at 2108 Main St., Castleton, Vermont. For more information about the numerous programs the community center offers contact them at 802-468-3093 or by email at homested@shoreham.net. You can also visit their website, www.castletoncsi.org, to view their monthly calendar.

How seniors can preserve their brains Physical activity and proper diet and nutrition can help people age 50 and older maintain their physical health. But there are also ways aging men and women can preserve brain health in an effort to prevent or delay the cognitive decline that affects millions of seniors across the globe. It's easy to overlook the importance of keeping the brain healthy. However, a decline in brain function can result in poor concentration, memory loss and a host of other issues. Sometimes, by the time symptoms present themselves, it may be too late to reverse any damage. Research suggests that a combina-

tion of nutrition and mental, social and physical activities may have a greater impact with regard to maintaining and improving brain health than any single activity. Harvard Medical School also states that volunteering, caring for others and pursuing hobbies may benefit the brains of older adults. A study published in the Archives of General Psychiatry found participants who reported higher levels of purpose in life exhibited superior cognitive function despite the accumulation of abnormal protein depositions (amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles) in the brain, a hallmark of Alzheimer's

While osteoarthritis, or OA, can affect people of all ages, it's most common in men and women over the age of 65. Understanding osteoarthritis and how to prevent and manage the disease can help men and women over the age of 50 reduce their risk and live more comfortably even if they develop OA. What is osteoarthritis? According to the Arthritis Foundation, healthy joints are covered by cartilage, a flexible connective tissue that covers the end of each bone. Cartilage facilitates motion of the joints and serves as a cushion between the bones. When a person has OA, cartilage breaks down, causing swelling and pain and affecting the mobility of the joint. Over time, OA can worsen and cause bones to break down and develop bone spurs, which form when bones meet each other in the joints. OA can even advance to a point where cartilage wears away and bone rubs against bone, creating even more pain while damaging the joints even further. What causes osteoarthritis? Once considered a byproduct of the wear and tear the human body naturally endures over a lifetime, OA is now viewed as a disease, notes the AF. The following are some potential causes of OA. n Genes: The AF notes that certain genetic traits can increase a person's likelihood of developing OA. Collagen is a protein that makes up cartilage, and, while rare, a genetic defect that affects the bodyÕs production of cartilage can lead to OA occurring in people as young as 20 years old. Researchers have also noted that the gene FAAH is more commonly found in people with OA of the knee than in people who donÕt have the disease. FAAH has been previously linked with pain sensitivity. n Weight: Being overweight increases a person's risk for a host of ailments and diseases, and OA can be counted among them. Extra weight puts additional pressure on hips and joints, and over time those extra pounds can cause cartilage to break down more quickly than it would if the body was not carrying extra weight. n Injury: Men and women who have suffered injuries to their joints may be at greater risk of developing OA than those with no such injury history. n Overuse: Overuse of joints, tendons and ligaments can accelerate the breakdown of cartilage and increase a personÕs risk of developing OA. Cartilage also can break down more quickly in the bodies of athletes and people whose careers require them to stand for extended periods of time, bend over frequently and/or lift heavy items. n Preexisting conditions: Conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, hemochromatosis and acromegaly may also contribute to the development of OA among people diagnosed with such disorders. Prevention and management of OA Men and women who maintain healthy weights and exercise regularly and appropriately may be able to prevent the onset of OA. Appropriate exercises include strength training that focuses on building muscles around the joints, even if those joints are already affected by OA. Strong muscles around the joints can reduce the pain associated with OA, while range-of-motion exercises can improve flexibility of the joints and reduce stiffness. Aerobic exercise also helps men and women maintain healthy weights while facilitating weight loss for those who are already overweight. Those already diagnosed with OA should speak with their physicians before beginning an exercise regimen, and such conversations can also include discussions about the various medications that can be used to reduce symptoms of OA. More information about OA is available at www.arthritis.org.
