Arbor Trace’s therapy. My recovery was beyond our expectations.� - Sharlene George - Sharlene George
I knew Arbor Trace was where I wanted to go for short-term therapy. “Arbor Trace has a history of success stories, so following my hip replacement, I knew Arbor Trace was the place for me. The therapy team had an instinctive ability to know when to push me. Their outstanding team knew exactly what I needed and when! The nursing staff and CNA’s were amazing. I never waited for more than a few minutes for assistance, even in the middle of the night. The entire nursing team kept me informed, reassured and calm throughout my stay. I also have to give kudos to the dietary team – I loved the food! I enjoyed that we had choices and the choices were healthy, nutritious and attractively served.�

IS PLAYTIME EVER ENOUGH TIME? I’ve often wondered how long a kid would play if no adult ever said it was time to (choose one): eat lunch, clean up, come inside, go potty or go to bed. Whenever we were at a state park when the kids were young, our son never wanted to leave. Given the choice, he would always choose to go deeper into the woods, perhaps even opting to be raised by wolves should he be given the opportunity. And yet, I always thought kids eventually would come inside on their own—say when the sun went down, coyotes started to howl or the temperature dipped. Anymore I’m not so sure. And now history repeats itself. Give LORI our son’s 4-year-old boy the choice beBORGMAN tween living in a temperature-controlled home with electricity, running water and a clean bed, or living in the red plastic sandbox shaped like a giant crab, and he will look at you like you are deranged for even asking. I couldn’t find him in the backyard one day because he was in the sandbox, flat on his belly with the side of his face plastered to the sand, driving trucks over hills and mounds, creating roadways with spoons and shovels. When it was time for lunch, he asked if he could eat in the sandbox. There is no point warning a kid who has sand covering one side of his face that sand might get in his food. The need to play is universal at every stage of childhood. I had an 8-month-old here the other day as I pulled sheets from the dryer and told her I would show her how to make a bed. “Ba, ba, ba, ba!” she jabbered. “That’s exactly how I feel about it, too,” I said. I sat her on the bedroom floor and tossed a pillowcase her way. She grabbed it and held it so close to her eyes it would make an adult go crosseyed. She batted it with her hands and then began chewing on it. I took the sheets to put on the bed and tossed a blanket beside her. She grabbed it, inspected the weave like she was a buyer for Pottery Barn, and then began gumming the tag.

“Watch it,” I said. “That could be one of those Do Not Remove Under Penalty of Law tags. I’d hate to tell your mom and dad that you were arrested.” “Ba, ba, ba!” she shrieked. “Try telling that to the cops,” I said. She spun on her belly, backed herself into a corner and twisted around with all of her legs and arms pointed in opposing directions. It was like watching a contortionist without having to pay full-ticket price. Five minutes turned into 10 and 15 stretched to 20. She did more belly spins, twisted and rolled, babbled away and studied her hand at close range. She probably would have stayed there all afternoon dust mopping the hardwoods on her tummy, but you-knowwho said the party was over and that we were going back downstairs. How long would a kid play, discover and explore? Hopefully all the way into adulthood and far beyond.

TIPS FOR SKIN CANCER PREVENTION, DETECTION Gannett One in five Americans will develop skin cancer at some point in their lives, making it the most common type of cancer in the nation. However, skin cancer is also one of the most preventable types of cancer, according to Dr. Mark Lebwhol, professor of dermatology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Health System in New York City who’s also active with the American Academy of Dermatology. “Fortunately, most skin cancers, even melanoma, can be cured and treated when detected early,” he said in a Mount Sinai news release. “Knowing your own skin is the key to discovering skin cancer early on. See a dermatologist for a skin check if you notice a spot, mole or lump on your body that is changing, growing or bleeding.” Lebwohl also offered the following skin cancer prevenON THE WEB tion tips: www.cancer.gov/ » Apply sunscreen with an cancertopics/pdq/ SPF of 30 or more to all areas of prevention/skin/ exposed skin every day throughPatient/page3, the out the year.

FROM CHEESE BALL TO CHICKEN,
WILLIE & RED’S DELIGHTS By Millicent Martin Emery I was so full after eating my birthday dinner at Willie & Red’s that I didn’t even drop a hint about dessert. (Well, I was full, and I’d been anticipating the really good cake my mom makes for an after-dinner treat). If you’re in Richmond and in a hurry for a meal, it’s easy to forget about the various independent eateries around Wayne County. But planning ahead for a little longer drive is worth the effort. Willie & Red’s sets itself apart in many ways, such as the complimentary chilled cheese ball and crackers near the entry. It’s one of the trademarks from the Welliver’s Smorgasbord legacy that entice customers to continue their visits. My husband and I and my parents tried a variety of items and we were all very satisfied with our choices. I was in the mood to sample the Fried Chicken Bar, which was offered from 5 to 8 that night (a Thursday) for $10. It included the ample salad bar, which included a generous selection of vegetables and IF YOU GO dressings, and everything Willie & Red’s, 40 E.

That night, we also took advantage of the two for $20 special options — a hand-breaded chicken strip basket with fries and slaw, or a BBQ rib basket with fries and slaw. Both were tried and enjoyed. However, you don’t have to pick one of the specials. The menu offers a wide range of choices. Mike tried the pork chop and said it was one of the best he’s had locally. If you want to try a smaller meal before leaping to the smorgasbord, most Wednesdays, the lunch menu starts at $5.95 or the lunch buffet featuring fried chicken is $8.95. Prime rib is on the smorgasbord on Friday and Saturday nights for $16.95, and menu service is also available. The smorgasbord is $2 less on Sundays but doesn’t include prime rib. The restaurant has been renovated since the Welliver’s days but you’ll still recognize the smorgasbord area. There’s also a bar area and a separate dining room that would work well for a group if you’re looking for a meeting place

ecently, glass Mason jars have experienced a huge surge in popularity.

through various glass bottles, like wine bottles. And at the time it seemed like such a dangerous and tedious task. But I started to brainstorm all these fabulous ideas that involved putting a hole in the jars — and after awhile I couldn't pass up the opportunity to test out this technique,” she added. Donaldson did a lot of research, followed safety precautions, and equipped herself with the right tools. Crafters agree Mason jars have been showing up at weddings and parties lately because they are great gift favors and can be stuffed with all kinds of items and (most importantly), easily transported home by guests. The jars are relatively inexpensive to purchase in bulk and can simply be adorned with ribbon, trim, and tags that will personalize event, theme, and colors. Local avid crafter Kate Stewart of Haddon Township believes the jars evoke a sense of informality and warmth, which is in step MORE with the recent surge of INFORMATION interest in up-cycling. ‘Mason Jar Crafts’ (UlyssStewart explains, “Maes Press) by Lauren Elise son jars are in the craft Donaldson is available limelight right now because on amazon.com. they fulfill a few unique niches: They are very affordable, and most people already have the tools or supplies within their home — so startup costs are minimal. They have large openings, making them easy to access items, accommodate large floral arrangements or serving-ware for entertaining.” It isn’t hard for her to continue to find new uses. “I frequently use Mason jars for fun and affordable entertaining supplies: indoor/outdoor lighting, utensil holders, containers of individual pre-made cocktails. I also like to use them as a unique and inventive way to display or hold small gifts versus a traditional gift bag or wrapped present — as it’s exciting to see parts of a gift revealed before opening it. Afterward, you have a very useful jar around the home.” For those new to the craft, Stewart recommends getting started by purchasing jars in bulk from big box stores or eBay. “New crafters should be checking out online bridal forums, because brides sell supplies after their weddings for a fraction of the cost. If you are patient, you can also find great deals at local yard sales and thrift stores. “For other supplies, you will need a hot glue gun, ribbons, labels or printable label paper, fabric scraps (sometimes called Quilters Scraps), liquid craft glue, food coloring, acrylic or canned spray paint, 22 gauge wire, pliers and wire cutters,’’ Stewart says. “With those supplies you can make just about any Mason jar project.

est, diynetwork.com and YouTube.” While Stewart creates Mason jar crafts for friends and gift-giving, another Mason jar fan, Kate Parkhurst of Maple Shade, has parlayed her hobby into a part-time business. About 12 years ago, Parkhurst started experimenting with various cakes made in Mason jars, an idea initially sparked by a friend. Today, she sells over 70 cases of homemade cakes baked inside the jars each fall, and she can’t make them fast enough. “My Mason jar cakes are delicious, unique, and have become really popular,’’ Parkhurt says. “I also wrap and decorate the jars, so they are ready for the holidays.” Flavors feature a variety of flavorful liquors, and include Kahlua, Grand Marnier, Pumpkin, Coconut rum, Bailey’s Irish Cream, and more. One of the most untraditional ideas for Mason jar crafts is one created by Donaldson: Party Piñatas. She explains, “They are not very traditional since you cannot smash the glass, but I think they make for a festive detail. Everyone enjoys having their own personal piñata, and you can customize the types of candy in each jar depending on individual guests.”

COMMUNITY SERVICE, SPIRIT RECOGNIZED IN WAYNE COUNTY By Millicent Martin Emery Through work and volunteer efforts, area residents make an impact on their communities. Centerville and Cambridge City organizations have recognized a few activists — including several current or former educators — for their efforts.
Centerville Two individuals and one group received awards for community service at the Centerville Lions Club’s 70th Anniversary Banquet. A Community Service Award was presented to the 2014 Executive Committee of the Centerville Bicentennial. Recipients included Marie Elstro, Dave and Bev Nixon, co-chairpersons, Kate Johnson, Dan Wandersee, Beth Treaster, Loren Vance and Jim Resh. The committee hosted numerous events during the year and published a 169 page book book to tell the story of Centerville called “Through the Archways of Time.” Centerville Fire Chief Dennis Spears also received the Community Service Award. Spears, who has served with the department for 35 years, has been chief for the past 14 years. The Loogootee, Ind., native moved to Centerville when he was in the sixth grade. James Howell received a Lions Club Melvin Jones Fellowship Award. The 1950 Centerville High School graduate graduated from Butler University with bachelor’s and master’s degrees. He served in the U.S. Army and returned to teach and coach at Milton High School. After six years, he returned to Centerville as coach and guidance director and later became junior high principal and then high school principal. He also served on various state committees for the National Association of Secondary School Principals. Howell’s other community involvement includes helping plan and build the present Little League diamonds. He has been a 4-H leader, a Fair Board member and a member of the 4-H Sale Committee. Howell also helped to get the Jaycees underway in Centerville. As a member of Centerville Christian Church for more than 60 years, he served as a Sunday school teacher, deacon and elder. He was instrumental in establishing the Centerville Senior Citizens Center and has served on the Reid Hospital Foundation Board and Wayne County Health Board. As a Lion, he was inducted into the Lions Silver Anniversary Basketball Hall of Fame in 1975. He served as the club president in 1970-71 and served in many other leadership roles. He was the first chairperson of the club's annual fish fry and has regularly been a top salesman. “When someone has a problem, Jim is there to help, advise and encourage.

MORE,
LIVE LONGER The roses and candy from Valentine’s Day are long gone, but there is no need for the day to be forgotten. We should continue the attention we gave to that special someone to the others with whom we have close bonds, acknowledging and the important role they play in our mental and emotional health throughout the year. So many relationships — those with a significant other, friends, family members, neighbors, and coworkers — can have a significant influence on our emotional well-being. The close relationships and social interaction we have not only boost happiness and reduce stress, but also greatly increase feelings of self-worth. According to the National Institutes of Health, people who have higher levels of AMANDA involvement in social relationships are PARDUE more likely to live longer, even when taking into account medical conditions, socioeconomic status, health behaviors and other variables that might influence mortality. Here are some key qualities of positive, healthy relationships, and specific actions you can take today to make the necessary changes in the connections you have with your loved ones.
disappointments. Listening well and understanding intentions, rather than giving in to assumptions, is a gift that encourages openness. Trust and communication go hand-in-hand. A lack of honesty ensures weak communication and minimal trust, which are ingredients for an unhealthy relationship.
Conflict and resolution
Respect and acceptance
All relationships, be they with one’s spouse or motherin-law, experience times of crisis and challenge. Surviving times of transition means change and growth. Without a mutual resolution and plan to handle tough times, relationships can destruct. Have a “can do” approach to conflict, and talk through disagreements. Learn to replace hurtful words with words that build and strengthen the relationship. Having a forward-looking attitude, minus a critical spirit, promotes a resilient and successful relationship.
Rather than attempts to fix or change your loved one, provide them with endorsements. People in successful relationships believe in each other and find ways to demonstrate that confidence. Take every opportunity to congratulate each other on even the smallest achievements. Demonstrating love and respect towards the relationship will create a strong core for a connection that, with the proper attention, can last a lifetime.
Trust and communication Relationships that really work use open communication and intentional dialogue. Trust that your loved one will hold your interest in the same regard as they hold their own. Successful partners and friends find great comfort in being honest about their wants, desires and

GET INTO THE ACT WITH
OLDER AMERICANS MONTH In May, we recognize Older Americans Month to acknowledge older Americans and their contributions to the nation. More than 40 million people in the United States are 65 or older. By 2035, the U.S. Census Bureau projects this number will double, which makes improving the quality of life for older Americans even more important as we look to the future. It is Social Security’s priority to provide a safety net for older Americans. You can learn more about Social Security at www.socialsecurity.gov. The main reason Social Security was established 80 years ago was to help older Americans. For many older Americans, Social Security benefits are their only source of retirement income. Social Security payments continue for life and are adjusted to keep pace with inflation. The American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) estimates that these benefits help keep 35 percent of older Americans out of poverty. A great tool for people of all ages is themy Social Security account. With a personalized my Social Security account, you can: » Get an estimate of future benefits, if you still work; » Get an instant letter with proof of current benefits; and » Manage your benefits. Visit www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccountand join the millions of people who have already created accounts to help them plan for retirement. This May also marks the 50th anniversary of the
Older Americans Act. Congress passed the Act in 1965 in response to a lack of community social services for older persons. Medicare, in effect since July 1, 1966, will also celebrate its 50th anniversary soon. Medicare provides health insurance to more than 42 million Americans age 65 and older. If you aren’t familiar with the four parts of Medicare, they are: » Part A (hospital insurance): Hospital insurance helps pay for inpatient care in a hospital or skilled nursing facility (following a hospital stay), some home health care, and hospice care. » Part B (medical insurance): Medical insurance helps pay for doctors’ services and many other medical services and supplies that hospital insurance doesn’t cover. » Part C (Medicare Advantage plans): If you have Medicare Parts A and B, you can join a Medicare Advantage plan. Private companies offer Medicare Advantage plans approved by Medicare. These plans generally help you pay the medical costs not covered by Medicare Part A and B. » Part D (prescription drug coverage): Prescription drug coverage helps pay for medications doctors prescribe for treatment. To learn more about applying for Medicare, read our publication Applying For Medicare Only—Before You Decide. To learn more about Social Security, read Understanding the Benefits. Both are available at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs. Teresa Brack is manager of the Social Security office in Richmond at 500 N. A St.

HOW TO FREE UP SPACE ON YOUR PHONE, TABLET You’re in the park with your family and one of the kids does something unbelievably cute. You quickly grab your smartphone to take a video and … “Not enough room.” A full smartphone or tablet can’t take pictures, download music, add new apps or even install operating system updates that contain important security fixes. You need to free up some space fast, and I can tell you how.
Clear out apps Apps can make your phone or tablet do some useful and amazing things. But they can fill up your available space before you realize it. You probably don’t need every one of those latest-addicting-must-have game apps, or three to-do list apps. In Apple, iOS 8, go to Settings >> General >> Usage>> Manage Storage. For iOS 7 and earlier, it’s just Settings>>General>>Usage. Here you’ll see a list of apps and how much space they use. This helps you make an informed decision about where to go fat-trimming. To delete an app you don’t want, simply tap its name. Then tap the “Delete App” button on the next screen. KIM In Android, go to Settings >> ApplicaKOMANDO tions (Settings >> Application Manager on some gadgets). Swipe left until you end up on the “Downloaded” tab. Here you’ll see a list of apps you’ve downloaded and how much space they use. To remove an app, just tap the name and then tap the “Uninstall” button. Start removing the apps you no longer use, then take a look at the largest apps that are left and think about how much you really need them. With Android, you can also go to Settings >> Storage to get a detailed breakdown of how much space you have and what’s using it, such as Apps, Pictures, Audio, Downloads, etc. Tapping a category will take you to the relevant area of Android. So, tapping on “Apps” will take you to the Application Management screen while tapping “Pictures” will take you to your photo gallery app. In Windows Phone 8, go to the Start screen and swipe left to get the App list. Tap and hold an app and then tap “Uninstall.” Tap “Yes,” and the app will go away.
Organize Smartphone cameras make it easy to snap dozens of pictures of that family outing, friendly get-together or just a funny random moment. Do that every couple of days for a year or two and it’s no wonder your phone is full. Take a look through your phone’s camera app. Are there any accidental photos, such as photos of the floor, sky or doorway you can delete? Are most of your good photos already posted to social media?

To free up space, you can transfer and organize photos and videos on your home computer or online storage using programs like iPhoto, Dropbox or Picasa. With Android, you might also be able to plug your gadget into your computer and drag the files directly and then delete them from your gadget. Your camera isn’t just for photos; it can shoot videos, too. You’ll definitely want to move these over to a computer to free up space. You can also upload them to an online storage site like Dropbox or Google Drive, or put them on a video-sharing site like YouTube. If you don’t want everyone seeing them, mark them as private so only people you choose can see them.
Music, movies Your smartphone or tablet works great as a media player for music and videos, but those take up a lot of space. Instead of loading your entire media library on your gadget, consider using a cloud streaming service instead. For iPhones and iPads, Apple’s iTunes Match will hold your entire music library in the cloud and stream to you the songs you want. It costs $25 a year, but that’s much less than spending hundreds on a new gadget with more storage that will just fill up again. Google Play Music is another solution. This service can hold your entire music library, including songs from iTunes, and stream your music to you whenever you want. Of course that’s not your only option for streaming music instead of storing it. Click here to explore more streaming music options that give you a nearly infinite music library. When it comes to movies, just five feature-length HD movies will take up 15GB or more of space. That’s all the space available on many gadgets and a large chunk of others. If you purchased movies via iTunes, Amazon or Google Play, those are available in the cloud and you can stream them using each service’s respective app. Don’t forget you can also stream movies from Netflix, Hulu and other services using their apps. Unless you’re traveling and you won’t have Wi-Fi access, you don’t need to store movies on your gadget. If you are traveling, though, be sure to check out the VLC app (Android or iOS, Free) that can play any movie file. It cuts down on the headaches of making sure your movies are in the right format.
