Dear Pharmacist

7 Cool Things to Do with Cucumbers Suzy Cohen

In the winter you can’t get me to buy these, but come summer, there’s always one or two in my fridge.

Cucumbers have a lot of health benefits. They are known botanically as Cucumis sativus, and they’re actually a fruit, not a vegetable.

They’re in the same family as melons, zucchini, and pumpkin.

Cucumbers have many active constituents, among them an anti-inflammatory flavonol called “fisetin” that supports brain health.

Cucumbers offer compounds that are antioxidants, so they help prevent systemic rusting.

Here are some fresh ideas: 1. Soothe itchy eyes. Cut two slices off and lay them upon your eyes. This feels especially comfy if you have red, itchy eyes from whatever’s

blooming.

You can put slices in a jar of water and infuse the water for an hour (refrigerate), and then make a compress out of the cucumber water. Squeeze it and lay that upon your eyes.

3. Heal burns.

Cut the slices lengthwise and apply to areas of sunburn, or use my compress idea from above.

2. Juice them. Cucumbers contain lariciresinol, pinoresinol, and secoisolariciresinol, which are three important compounds when it comes to reducing risk of reproductive cancers (ovarian, breast, uterine, prostate). Secoisolariciresinol is also found in flax.

4. Drink them. Cut cucumbers into half slices along with quarter slices of lemon and put into a beautiful glass decanter or carafe with some ice. Let it marinate for an hour and then drink all day.

Among the many health benefits, you may see a mild diuretic effect, which could help with blood pressure and weight loss.

5. Eat them. The profound medicinal benefits of cucumbers are not apparent to you. I bet you walk right past them in the produce section all the time. These guys can block COX-2 enzymes (similar to Celebrex, a popular medication), dampening down pain-causing cytokines.

While cukes are not as strong as drugs, I’d still chop some into your salad along with fresh tomatoes and basil leaves. Finish with cilantro-lime vinaigrette. This salad adds fiber, which, in turn, helps you manage weight.

6. Treat acne with them.

Cucumbers have the ability to remove dirt, dead skin cells, bacteria, and leftover makeup residue. It naturally calms and cools a red or inflamed area.

Put a quarter of an unpeeled cucumber in your food grinder along with a tablespoon of witch hazel, two drops of tea tree oil, and five drops of lavender. Grind to a smooth consistency and apply as a “mask” or

dab on an area.

7. Make a toner for your face.

Slice cucumbers into 2 cups pure distilled water. Strain out the cucumbers so you are left with

cucumber water. Add 1 tablespoon of organic aloe vera leaf juice, 10 drops of essential oil of lavender, and five drops of jasmine.

For oily skin, add to this five drops helichrysum. If you have dry skin,

use rose oil.

innovation culture is the belief that nothing lies beyond human power to achieve, that science and technology can solve most problems,

and that change invariably leads to better outcomes.”

Shamim M. Momin, director, Los Angeles Nomadic Division: “America is a nation that celebrates its founding on individual freedom and struggle against oppressive systems of belief.

It makes sense that, in order to provide each person the opportunity to pull himself or herself up by the bootstraps and succeed on one’s own merits, innovation—literally ‘a new method, idea, or product’—would be the avenue to that success.”

“I take pictures and lots of notes evaluating all aspects of the vehicle’s condition, including the paint and bodywork, the chrome, and the wheels, figuring out the car’s story. Later, I research the vehicle at the AACA library and write the appraisal,” he says.

Sando encourages anyone with an interest in antique vehicles to get involved with the AACA or come to the organization’s events and speak to likeminded people.

“Owning an antique car is not a requirement to belong to AACA, but participating with a vehicle surely enhances the experience,” he says.

In addition to his passion for antique autos, Sando keeps busy in his local community. He has served as a member of the South Annville

Township zoning board for more than 30 years; he is currently its chairman.

He is also a PIAA (Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association) official, and 2016 will mark his 38th year officiating high school football games in the Lancaster-Lebanon League.

Sando is a member of the PierceArrow Society, the Hupmobile Club, and the National Woodie Club (wooden-bodied station wagons are one of his favorite types of cars). He

also enjoys spending time with his two children and four grandchildren.

As he approaches 70 and remains as busy as he is, Sando doesn’t see himself slowing down any time soon.

“Wow, where did the time go?

My plans for the future are to keep enjoying all of my activities for as long as I can.”

Labor Day: A Short History Labor Day is more than one last chance to fire up the grill before the end of summer. It’s a yearly celebration of the American worker—a tribute to labor’s contribution to the economic and social well-being of the United States.

Some records show that Peter J. McGuire, general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners and a co-founder of the American Federation of Labor, was first to suggest a day to honor those “who from rude nature have delved

and carved all the grandeur we behold.”

Other research seems to support the contention that machinist Matthew Maguire, later the secretary of Local 344 of the International Association of Machinists in Paterson, New Jersey, proposed the holiday in 1882 while serving as secretary of the Central Labor Union in New York.

However the idea originated, the first Labor Day holiday was celebrated on Tuesday, Sept. 5, 1882, in New York City, in accordance with the plans of the Central Labor Union.

The first Monday in September was selected as the holiday in 1884. As labor organizations grew in size and power, so did the idea of Labor Day. In 1885 Labor Day was celebrated in many industrial centers of the country.

The first governmental recognition of the holiday came through municipal ordinances passed during 1885 and 1886. While the first state bill proposing the holiday was introduced into the New York legislature, Oregon passed the first law on Feb. 21, 1887.

Four more states—Colorado, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York—created the Labor Day holiday by legislative enactment that same year.

By the end of the decade, Connecticut, Nebraska, and Pennsylvania had followed suit.

By 1894, 23 other states had adopted the holiday in honor of workers, and on June 28 of that year, Congress passed an act making the first Monday in September of each year a legal holiday in the District of Columbia and the territories.

Lindsay Wagner’s One-(Bionic) Woman Show Nick Thomas

One of the hottest actresses to emerge from the 1970s has been appearing around the country in recent years presenting her stage show, More than a Bionic Woman: An Evening with Lindsay Wagner. “[I’ve been] sharing anecdotes and stories from behind the scenes in my career and showing clips and photos from my personal collection,” said Wagner from her California home.

“So it [is] a lot of fun and, hopefully, fond memories.”

Wagner began appearing in primetime network television series in the early 1970s, with her breakout film role coming in 1973’s The Paper Chase.

But it was her Emmy awardwinning role as TV’s favorite female semi-cyborg in The Bionic Woman that brought her great acclaim,

Jaime off, and the response from the audience was huge,” explained Wagner. “They were so appalled that the studio had killed off a character that had resonated so deeply with them and especially their children.

Even a children’s hospital in Boston wrote a letter of protest.

“So the studio had to bring me back for another two-parter to bring Jaime back to life, and the network decided to do the spin-off series.”

Wagner retired her bionic implants after three seasons and three reunion movies to tackle dozens of TV movies throughout the ’80s and ’90s. Those roles often focused on social issues such as domestic violence, adoption, mental health, terrorism, and capital punishment.

Danger Abounded, but Fate was Kind to This Vietnam Marine

By Stephen Kopfinger It sounds unlikely, but good luck followed Ken Ford during his tour of Vietnam.

Ford experienced some memorable close calls during his yearlong tour of duty, which lasted from November 1967 to November 1968.

He served with the 2nd Battalion, 11th Marines, 1st Marine Division, as a lance corporal assigned as a communications technician.

Ford was assigned his work in that capacity after six weeks of electronics training in San Diego. He repaired encrypted teletype machines and in Vietnam, “we were [fixing] radios, and telephones, and anything having to do with communications,” Ford remembers.

He had already received his basic training at Parris Island in South Carolina and infantry training at Camp Geiger in North Carolina in 1966, after marrying his wife-to-be,

Ken Ford in Phu Bai, July 1968.

Jeralee.

Ford had signed up for service; that action gave a man a fixed time as to when he could start training and duty.

That was different from the whims of the draft, which could ship a soldier out on short notice.

“I would have missed my wedding,” Ford speculates, on taking his chances with the draft.

Ford landed at Da Nang Air Base at, of all times, the day before Thanksgiving. And it wasn’t long until Ford experienced his first brush with danger. He soon found himself

at a nearby firebase, the name of which he can’t recall.

At that base, however, “we actually had Thanksgiving dinner,” remembers Ford.

But this comforting, welcoming taste of home didn’t last long. Around 8 or 9 p.m., mortars lit the air. Ford had been at the base for just five or six hours before everything broke loose.

He isn’t sure just who fired on the troops, but he has an idea.

“It’s hard to say. I’d have to guess it was the Viet Cong,” he says of the elusive North Vietnamese force known for their stealth. “They could set up mortars and be gone.”

But it was here that luck played into the picture. “[The mortars] do a lot of damage, but they are short range,” says Ford.

“Nobody was seriously hurt. I think they were just trying to [tick] us off!”

Ford and his fellow Marines were soon moved to an airfield at Phu Bai combat base just south of Hue, which is now the civilian Phu Bai International Airport.

They arrived three days before the Tet Offensive, in which the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese forces launched a huge campaign against South Vietnamese and American forces beginning in January 1968.

Again, luck was on Ford’s side.

“Rockets and mortars and both!” says Ford of what filled the skies when Tet happened. Yet, “for some reason,

Moving about was a big part of Ford’s duty.

“We moved around a lot,” he recalls. “We just pulled into a big old field and set up another base.”

During this time, Ford experienced another hair-raiser—and it wasn’t due to the enemy. One soldier was medevacked in the wake of an incident “because of stupidity,” Ford says. “[This] guy decided to throw a grenade. It hit a rock” and bounced back. “I think he lost an arm. He was definitely medevacked.” Ford was unharmed.

And his good fortune stayed with him another time. After Phu Bai, Ford found himself at An Hoa combat base, where he helped to protect a small landing strip.

“Nobody knows how it happened,” Ford says of what came next. Once again, weaponry was lighting up the sky.

“They think the enemy got hold of our call signs,” speculates Ford. There was talk of “friendly fire.”

Good luck almost deserted Ford years after he got home from Vietnam. As with many a soldier, he was exposed to the defoliant Agent Orange, which has caused numerous health problems for veterans of the war.

Ford was treated for prostate cancer in 2001, but he is fine today.

These days, Ford keeps busy as secretary and treasurer with Chapter 1008, Vietnam Veterans of America in Lancaster. If you are interested in joining one of the 27 chapters in Pennsylvania, go to www.vva-pa.org to find a chapter near you.

He has visited “The Wall,” the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, in Washington many times with his fellow members.

“Oh, yeah,” Ford says with pride.

“We go every year. We charter a bus on Memorial Day.” The public is always welcome to join them on the bus trip, Ford says.

“We always put out the word—get on the bus!”

Dear Friends, YORK COUNTY I hope you will join us for the 14th annual York County 50plus EXPO. Each month, 50plus LIFE brings you information on health, wellness, finance, and much more. This is our opportunity to bring 50plus LIFE to life—your life!

Representatives from an array of businesses are looking forward to speaking with you about topics that are important to you! Unbeknownst to many of us, our own communities hold a wealth of information.

Our 50plus EXPOs are effective forums for all those “hidden” community resources to gather in visible, easy-to-access locations!

OLP Events is happy to be able to present this dynamic, one-day event to our visitors free of charge.

This year, check out the Health & Wellness Area, sponsored by WellSpan Health, and stop by Falls Free York, a unique fall-prevention area created through a partnership between the York County Area Agency on Aging and local businesses and organizations.

And sit down for a quick flu shot provided by Kmart while supplies last.

The 50plus EXPO isn’t just informative, however—it’s also entertaining! Entertainment at this year’s EXPO will include a container-gardening demonstration, live music, musical-theater performances, and more.

This day is made possible through the generous support of our sponsors. Please stop by their booths, have your bingo card signed, and talk with them about how they can assist you.

WellSpan Orthopedics: Here When You Need Us Most

Today, Americans are enjoying longer, more active lives than in any time in history. Yet, as we age, our bodies change, and a lifetime of activity takes a toll on everyone. Sometimes those changes result in specific problems related to joints and muscles.

If painful, stiff joints prevent you from participating in the daily activities you enjoy, consider a consultation with a WellSpan Orthopedics specialist.

We will evaluate you and present treatment options for restoring your orthopedic health and function. If non-operative treatments do not provide improvement, then surgical intervention may be considered.

Patients rely on WellSpan for a broad scope of quality health services across the continuum of care.

“WellSpan Orthopedics has assembled a highly skilled team of specialists to treat, from the most common to the most complex orthopedic cases,” Mark Deitch, vice president, WellSpan Orthopedics Service Line, said. “These providers afford a caliber of surgeon found in larger cities, right here in our local community.”

If you have a relationship with a WellSpan primary-care provider, our team will have access to your secure electronic health record (EHR) for a wellcoordinated treatment experience.

WellSpan Orthopedics offers a broad range of services in York, Lebanon, Gettysburg, and Hanover. These services will assist you in your recovery, including trauma care, spine care, and foot and other extremity care.

Furthermore, WellSpan Health primarily offers three different surgery options for joint reconstruction: hip replacements, knee replacements, and shoulder reconstruction.

80 Million Americans Suffer from Poor-Quality Sleep

By Jeffrey B. Roth In Tigers and Traitors, Jules Verne wrote: “Though sleep is called our best friend, it is a friend who often keeps us waiting!”

Verne was expressing a common human problem: lack of quality sleep.

“We’re in the midst of a global sleep crisis,” Dr. Rachel Salas, a sleep neurologist and associate professor at Johns Hopkins Medicine, said.

“The National Sleep Foundation notes that 80 million Americans suffer from poor-quality sleep; 60 million experience chronic poor sleep; and a bit more than 40 million actually meet the diagnostic criteria for sleep disorders.

“There are actually over 80 different types of sleep disorders, and the cost

of poorquality sleep is $80 billion a year—in accidents caused by people who fall asleep while driving or from missed work and poor productivity.”

At least 50 percent of individuals 65 and older meet the diagnostic criteria for sleep disorders but are undiagnosed and untreated, Salas added.

The negative impact of poorquality sleep spans many domains of healthcare.

Individuals who have been diagnosed with sleep disorders— such as sleep apnea, which involves breathing problems while sleeping— are at a higher risk for strokes and heart attacks, as well as other arrhythmias of the heart.

Men with sleep apnea may

experience erectile dysfunction. Lack of quality sleep may contribute to acid reflux disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure.

People suffering sleep apnea are five times more likely to be involved in auto accidents, Salas noted.

“What happens is people have what we call micro-sleep, where your brain can fall asleep for one to two seconds,” Salas said. “If you’re driving on the highways, traveling at 70 miles per hour, you can see it can definitely make the difference between life and death.

“Poor-quality sleep ... can affect your mood. You can be more irritable. Things bother you more than they should. It can make you look older, and it can make you gain weight.”

Individuals with poor-quality sleep break down sugar and store fat differently, Salas said. Even if the individual is eating right and exercising, it’s going to be harder to lose that weight.

Research has shown the typical American sleep environment is not conducive for quality sleeping.

Environmental factors can negatively affect the body’s circadian rhythm— the internal clock that controls when to sleep and when to be awake.

“In our society, we have really become 24/7,” Salas said. “The human brain was not meant to see light (at night) in the blue and green domains, which we could see earlier in the day.

“We’re getting a lot of that stimulation now from LED lighting from all of our electronic use, and it’s having a negative impact on our sleepwake schedules and our behavior patterns.”

Surprisingly, even if individuals are getting enough sleep, if it’s not in line with the body’s internal clock, they may act like a sleep-deprived person.

Consistent sleep is more important than quantity of sleep.

“Many Americans are going to bed at different times of night and waking up at different times,” Salas said. “In some cases, people are not getting any exposure to the sun. The result is that their biological clocks are out of whack.

“Truthfully, many Americans are falling asleep at night simply because they are exhausted. Another process that is as important as the circadian rhythm is the homeostatic or sleep drive.”

For the average person who gets enough sleep, there is no need to take a daytime nap. Around 11 p.m. is

when the circadian rhythm and homeostatic drive converge, providing the highest opportunity of falling asleep, Salas said.

During sleep paralysis, a common sleep problem, the body is not smoothly experiencing the stages of sleep. Sleep paralysis often involves the feeling of being awake but being unable to move or to speak, Salas said.

Narcolepsy is a chronic brain dysfunction characterized by sleep paralysis, excessive sleepiness, and hallucinations.

Older people have a higher risk for sleep disorders caused by everything from medical conditions, such as arthritis, to breathing problems and restless leg syndrome.

About one in 10 adults suffer from restless legs syndrome, or RLS, a neurological disorder characterized by throbbing, crawling, and other unpleasant sensations in the legs and an uncontrollable, overwhelming urge to move the legs, according to the National Sleep Foundation.

Harrisburg, said patients with sleep problems first go through an extensive interview process. The interview includes an entire sleep history to quantify the patient’s sleepiness—how long it has occurred and whether there are any triggers.

“My supervising physician, Dr. Francis J. Janton III, did his fellowship in sleep medicine,” Madore said. “We see sleep complaints ranging from sleep apnea, insomnia, narcolepsy, restless legs syndrome, and periodic limb movement disorder

to other parasomnia.”

Depending on the results of the sleep history, a sleep study at the center or at the patient’s home may be ordered. Once a diagnosis is reached, a treatment plan is initiated.

Similar treatments are prescribed for various sleep disorders.

Iron levels are also checked, Madore said. A low iron score can contribute to symptoms.

“After that, then there are a handful of medications we can use,” Madore said. “The first category of medicine we reach for is the dopamine agonist—Requip® (ropinirole), Mirapex® (pramipexole), or a patch called the Neupro® patch …

“The last-line therapy is narcotics like hydrocodone or Vicodin. They work really well with restless legs, but a lot of times, [patients] are [leery] about being on regular narcotics.”

RLS affects more females over 50 than males over 50, Madore said.

For more complex sleep disorders, individuals should consult a neurologist who specializes in sleep disorders.

Grunt: The Curious Science of Humans at War Terri Schlichenmeyer

Thank you for your service.

You’ve said that many times recently, and meant every word to every soldier. Thank you for keeping us protected. Thank you for your bravery. Thank you for your sacrifice.

And once you’ve read Grunt: The Curious Science of Humans at War

by Mary Roach, you’ll also thank those who serve our servicemen and women.

Chickens are not ducks.

Nevertheless, chicken carcasses are what the U.S. military uses to test its equipment to ensure that it’s safe from “birdstrike,” which describes those instances when flying bird (duck, goose, even starling) meets flying machine.

Grunt author Mary Roach.

its equipment can handle feathered foes—therefore, it uses a “chicken gun” to shoot pullets, not bullets.

And that, says Mary Roach, “is most of what I have to say about guns.” Instead of focusing on artillery and battles in Grunt, she focuses on the fight to keep our troops comfortable, hydrated, healthy, and alive.

While it might seem easy, for instance, to outfit many thousand people in identical clothing, what our troops wear is a kind of weapon.

The U.S. government hires fashion designers to develop uniforms that are weather appropriate, as fireproof as possible, and that can repel chemicals.

Even the buttons are tested extensively: “Specifications,” says Roach, “run to 22 pages.”

As for the vehicles troops use for transport, Roach says that engineers must constantly modify them for the safety of our soldiers. That often means that Strykers carry up to 5 tons of extra protection on their frames, much of it tested on the cadavers of people who serve “without actually enlisting.”

Military scientists know how to

protect the soldiers’ hearing, and other, um, equipment farther below on the body.

“Thanks … to the transgender community,” they know how to fix injuries there, Roach says.

Others strive to teach medics to think in the midst of chaos. They study diarrhea, sweat, bugs, stinky smells, and sharks. And they know that sleep is one of a military’s greatest defenses.

Camouflage is a familiar sight these days, and it’s usually worn by someone you thank for their service.

For different reasons, the creators of camouflage deserve appreciation, too, as do others who keep soldiers safe. Grunt explains further.

Now, mind you, there are no vivid recreations of battles in this book, but author Mary Roach tells readers about the aftermath of battle. You won’t get specs on equipment, but she’ll tell you about how science has improved on the gear soldiers use.

What you will get, however, is a curious-minded tour through the science of war and real, sometimes gruesome but always fascinating peeks far beyond the barracks. And Roach does it with a delightfully lighthearted-yet-serious approach.

Salute!

Supporting our troops is more than a verbal “thank you.” The surprise is that it also comes from laboratories, volunteers, manufacturers, and exhaustive research, and this book tells you how.

If you love—or were!—a soldier, you’ll want it, because missing Grunt would be a disservice.

The Bookworm is Terri Schlichenmeyer.

Terri has been reading since she was 3 years old and she never goes anywhere without a book. She lives on a hill in Wisconsin with two dogs and 14,000 books.

Is This Thing On?

How to Be Safe with Facebook Abby Stokes

As I type this, there are more than 1.3 billion Facebook users and counting. 1.3 billion! That is more than four times the population of the United States.

Facebook’s site is translated in more than 70 languages, and 75 percent of its users live outside of the United States. It is a global phenomenon.

In case you are not one of the 1.3 billion, here’s a fast primer on Facebook: What people share on Facebook runs the gamut from innovative ideas to great life philosophies to fun self-expression to promotion of their endeavors to tiresome overexposure to moment-tomoment thought processes.

People share photos of themselves and photos they like, as well as links to articles and videos they find interesting.

Accordingly, you may discover that what is posted is truly worthwhile, or you may perceive it as a huge waste of time. For me, it’s a delicate balance of the two.

If you do choose to venture forth with Facebook or if you already have, I want to give you some sage advice to make sure you’re as safe as possible.

Facebook Scams A common Facebook scam is to impersonate someone who already has a profile on Facebook. Often, money is the big motivator. Once the imposter has lured in your existing

Puzzle Solutions

Privacy Precautions My one rule of privacy for all online social networking, not just Facebook, is The Front-Door Test:

Do not put anything on a website that you would not feel comfortable having taped to the outside of your front door. Simple. Easy to remember. No confusing instructions.

Some people use Facebook and other social networking websites to take advantage of people.

The most important thing to do is to listen to that voice in your head that says, “This doesn’t seem right.”

I say, “Always go with your instincts!” If something seems hinky, it usually is. Don’t click on what you don’t understand or sounds too good to be true.

September 2016

How do I report a fake account that’s pretending to be me?

Impostor accounts aren’t allowed on Facebook. If someone created an

account pretending to be you: 1. Go to the impostor profile. If you can’t find it, try searching for the name used on the profile or asking your friends if they can send you a link to it.

2. Click the ellipsis (…) on the cover photo and select “report.”

3. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Facebook will act promptly (it’s in their best interest), and the fake profile might disappear before you have a chance to ask, “What kind of creeps are out there, anyway?”

Don’t be lured in by ads that tout some insider way to see who is viewing your profile on Facebook, or invite you to view some ghastly, morbid photos, or offer the possibility of big prize money. Scam, scam, scam.

Be selective about what you click on and you’ll be fine. There’s so much to enjoy about Facebook. Don’t let these bad apples spoil the benefits.

friends, they plead a sob story and try to extort money.

But some of these imposters do it just because they can. So, besides the creep factor, it is inconvenient, but often harmless.

Nonetheless, you want to be on the lookout.

If you receive a friend request from someone you’re already friends with on Facebook, that is the tipoff. Do not accept the second request.

Instead, by private email, phone, or text, let your friend know about the fake request.

Then they or you should notify Facebook. This is a common enough occurrence that Facebook has it in the Q&A and help sections.

Flu Vaccination Starting Yearly flu vaccination begins this month in York County.

The best place to start is to consult your physician to see if you can get a flu shot at the doctor’s office.

This is especially important if you are covered by a Medicare Advantage Health Plan. Some Advantage Plans require that you get the shot from your primary-care physician. Call your plan to confirm.

Today, there are many options for getting your flu shot besides the doctor’s office. Shots are available at many grocery stores, pharmacies, and other retail outlets.

Flu shot clinics will be offered at some York County senior centers.

Volunteer Spotlight YCAAA Recognizes 5 Volunteers Sue Heinle, Fred Slegel, Barbara Doll, and Dick and Sandy Bear have been named Volunteers of the Month by the York County Area Agency on Aging for their ongoing service and dedication to the agency and York Sue Heinle County’s older adults.

York Township resident Sue Heinle, a registered nurse and home healthcare business owner, said her work history is the driving force and inspiration that feeds her passion of advocating for older adults.

She has served on the Fred Slegel agency’s advisory council since 1994, including a stint as chairperson from 1998-2003. She currently serves on the council’s executive committee and advocacy committee, which brings her the most joy.

Fred Slegel, of Springettsbury Township, Barbara Doll is a financial counselor for YCAAA. Wanting to give back to the community following his retirement, Slegel saw there was a great need among the elderly for assistance with Dick and Sandy Bear budgeting.

Slegel said he finds those he assists are very appreciative for whatever help he gives them.

Manchester Township resident Barbara Doll found assisting patients very rewarding, so following retirement from employment in healthcare she decided to volunteer in the agency’s APPRISE program.

Helping Medicare beneficiaries understand their benefits and options has been very rewarding, Doll said.

Dick and Sandy Bear, both of Dover Township, have been volunteering for YCAAA for more than 25 years. They serve as financial counselors, general office assistants, and support for special events and the Senior Games.

Dick Bear also is a member of the agency’s advisory council.

“The needs within the elderly population are great, so we strive to do our part to make life easier for them,” he said. “What you give to life will come back to you in equal measure.”

Art & Antiques by Dr. Lori

Vintage Scandinavian Design Lori Verderame

Scandinavian design focuses on the lifestyle choices of those living in the lovely regions of northern Europe. In Norway, Denmark, Finland, and Sweden, furniture must be thrifty in cost, comfortable, and related to outdoor living.

The unique seasonal weather changes known to Scandinavia dictate much about how life goes on there. For instance, in the summer, there are long days of sunshine. In the winter, darkness fills days and nights.

Home decorating takes its cues from these seasonal characteristics.

In northern Europe, there is an interest in using animal skins for warmth along with small-scale fireplaces and wood-burning stoves.

Scandinavian design is rooted in its folk art and textile traditions, such as woven bunad textiles in felt and wool, embroidered floral designs and decorations such as the famous rosemaling, and woven and macramé works for tablecloths, curtains, and other window coverings.

When it comes to Scandinavian design, objects in the home focus on the outdoors and the comfort of those living indoors.

Walk to End Alzheimer’s Alzheimer’s disease is the sixthleading cause of death in the United States and the fifth-leading cause of death for individuals age 65 and older. This devastating and debilitating disease is the ultimate thief—of memories, independence, control, time, and, ultimately, life.

And the disease is often dealt with in silence. Those facing the disease feel a stigma surrounding their diagnosis and often don’t seek the support they need.

At the Alzheimer’s Association, we hear from individuals daily that they “feel alone.” Family and friends stop visiting because of “abnormal” behavior—a symptom of the disease—and caregivers become more and more isolated.

We want patients and their families to know that there is hope, and there is help, through the Alzheimer’s Association of Greater Pennsylvania.

There are more than 5 million Americans currently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia and more than 15 million caregivers. In Pennsylvania alone, there are more than 400,000 individuals diagnosed.

We are here to provide education and support to the millions who face dementia every day, while advancing critical research toward methods of treatment and prevention, ultimately to end Alzheimer’s disease.

We have offices locally and support

groups throughout the region for those facing this disease to meet with others in similar situations.

We also host the Walk to End Alzheimer’s.

This is the association’s largest annual awareness and fundraising event, which occurs during the fall. The Walk to End Alzheimer’s is a day of hope, an opportunity—a day we all come together to see that we’re not alone in our fight.

Some walk to honor and remember those they have lost. Some walk to share stories of living with Alzheimer’s or related dementias. Some walk so that future generations won’t have to face the debilitating and devastating effects of the disease. Some walk because they want to help make a difference and bring this disease to the forefront.

The money raised allows our chapter to contribute to research to find a cure. These funds also help support programs and services that advance accurate and timely diagnosis of people with Alzheimer’s and other dementias.

In addition, money raised ensures significant increases to affordable, high-quality care and support for people with the disease and their caretakers.

Help us break the silence and start the conversation. Join us, along with thousands of others in your community, at the Walk to End Alzheimer’s.

Savvy Senior

Auto Insurance Discounts for Older Drivers Jim Miller

Dear Savvy Senior, I’ve read that many car insurance companies offer a variety of discounts to older drivers when they retire or reach a certain age. What can you tell me about this? – Discount Seeker Dear Seeker, Most auto insurance companies offer policyholders a wide variety of discounts, many of which can benefit retirees.

Auto insurers love older drivers because they’re experienced behind the wheel and they drive less than younger age groups, which makes them a lower risk for accidents and a safer bet for insurance companies.

While discounts will vary by insurer, many of these benefits can reduce your overall premium by 15 to 20 percent or more, and you are

10 percent to drivers who are at least 55 years old and aren’t actively looking for full-time work. And Liberty Mutual offers a “newly retired discount” to drivers who reach that employment milestone, regardless of age.

usually allowed to combine discounts to increase your savings, though total discounts are often capped at around 25 percent.

To find out what discounts may be available to you, contact your auto insurer and inquire about these benefits and any others that may help you.

Age discount: Many auto insurance companies offer a general “senior” discount that will reduce your premium just because you’ve reached a specific age. The actual name and amount of the discount will vary by insurer.

Allstate, for example, provides a “senior adult discount” of up to

Low mileage discount: Most insurers offer discounts to customers who drive limited miles each year, which is often beneficial to retirees who drive less because they don’t commute to work every day. The fewer miles you drive, the lower your odds of getting into an accident.

The parameters of low mileage differ by insurer, but generally about a 10 percent discount is available for driving fewer than 5,000 to 8,000 miles each year, although smaller

discounts may also be available to seniors who drive more than this but fewer than 15,000 miles.

Driver’s education discount: Many states require insurance companies to offer “defensive-driving” discounts to drivers who take a refresher course to brush up on their safety skills. The discounts vary, usually ranging between 5 and 15 percent.

Driver safety courses are inexpensive, usually costing around $20 to $30, and can often be taken in a classroom or online.

To locate a class, contact your local AAA (www.aaa.com), which operates a Driver Improvement Course for seniors, or AARP (www.aarp.org/ driversafety, (888) 227-7669), which offers the Smart Driver Course to members and nonmembers.

Club member discount: Insurers offer discounts to members of clubs and associations with which they have partnered.

These could include professional associations, workers’ unions, large employers, or membership

organizations such as AAA, the National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association, the Seniors Coalition, AARP, etc.

You could even qualify for savings based on the college you attended or the fraternity or sorority you belonged to decades ago.

Safe driving discount: Many insurance providers now offer discounts based on how and when you use your car.

To do this, they would place a diagnostic device in your car that transmits wireless data on how you drive (including how fast you’re going and how hard you’re braking), when you drive, and how much you drive.

Drivers are rewarded for safe driving, for low mileage, and for not driving late at night.
