Beaver County Humane Society launches its Senior 2 Senior Program Helping seniors increase their quality of life through the friendship of a pet is the purpose behind Senior 2 Senior, a new program offered by the Beaver County Humane Society (BCHS). The program is designed to provide rescued senior animals, ages seven and older, with wonderful, loving homes with adults ages 65 and older.

Davida Petrie, 91, of Aliquippa with her beloved cat, Bella, 13.

By Gina Mazza

The unconditional love of

a pet can add joy, fun and a sense of comfort to anyone of any age. Older adults sometimes have fewer opportunities to socialize and get out of the house, and the companionship of a pet can fill that void in the most delightful ways. In fact, research shows that owning a dog, cat or other pet reduces stress and depression, lowers blood pressure, and can help one

cope with loss and grief. The routine of caring for a pet lends structure and purpose to life, and enables the owners incorporate regular exercise into their daily routine. It’s a win-win. “I would not have made it through the year of [COVID-19] lockdown without my beloved cat, Bella,” expresses Davida Petrie, 91, of Aliquippa. “Bella, who is now 13, literally saved my life.”

“In today’s world, we know that there are many older adults who live very active, healthy lives and do not need any assistance with adopting a pet, accessing veterinary care, or affording all the things that go along with having a pet,” says Mary Lou Harju, BCHS’ Development and Marketing Manager. “However, we have identified that some older adults may not be able to drive, may not have access to a computer, and may be on a limited income, all of which create barriers to pet ownership or care.” Continued on page 4

A Prayer to Wear offers artistic way to share scripture and hosts crafting sessions Ellen Carlins of Pittsburgh

was looking for a creative way to help others increase and share their faith. She had an idea to combine active scripture reflection with activities in a group setting around crafting and jewelry making.

From that inspiration more than 10 years ago, A Prayer to Wear was born. Ellen began offering mini crafting retreats to prayer groups, enabling participants to share with each other the work that God has done in their lives while doing something fun and creative in a casual environment.

Prior to the pandemic, Ellen was a regular presenter at Kearns Spirituality Center in the North Hills. Currently, she travels to the location of the requested prayer group throughout Allegheny and Beaver counties. “I provide a reflectively inspirational message coupled with all the materials necessary for a fun, hands-on activity. Everyone leaves with a lasting keepsake of their experience.” Ellen is also currently available to host crafting sessions for bridal and baby showers, as well as to do custom sewing, embroidery and crafting upon request, including altar linens, and custom deacon, priest and clergy stoles. To learn more, call (412) 576-9715, email ecarlins@prayertowear.com or visit prayertowear.com. This article was originally published in the November 2021 issue of Beaver County Senior News.

The concept caught on and since then Ellen has worked with hundreds of mostly women who have gathered for these mini retreats, which are open to all skill levels from beginner crafter to expert artisan.

June-August 2022 • Beaver County Senior News

“It has been amazing to watch how beading and jewelry making is relevant and helpful for every age group and circumstance,” Ellen says. “I think it’s because people never stop searching, no matter what stage of life. Encouraging faith sharing, community building and bonding among small groups gives me great joy.”

Beaver County Humane Society launches its Senior 2 Senior Program For this reason, Senior 2 Senior offers the free adoption of a dog or cat; initial vet and dental care; a senior welcome kit which includes a collar, leash, toys, bowls, and a starter supply of food; and a phone number that new adopters can call with questions about getting their pet settled into the home. While some seniors may prefer adopting a puppy or kitten, older pets are usually more suitable, as they are gentler, calmer, and have an established demeanor. Mature pets are also more likely to be house-trained and understand basic commands. “A house without an animal is a house. A house with an animal is a home,” says Davida, who also volunteers at the Beaver County Humane Society roughly twice every week.

Become a BCHS Volunteer For those who love animals but cannot adopt a pet for whatever reason (and even for those who have pets), there are plenty of other ways to get a dog or cat fix by lending a hand at BCHS. “Volunteers are an integral part of our operations and help to ensure our continued success,” Mary Lou comments. “Since we lost a lot of our volunteers during the pandemic lockdown, we now have a number of positions that are open for anyone who would enjoy supporting our mission.” Volunteer opportunities include: • dog walking. • fostering kittens until they reach adoptable age. • caretaking cats, including socializing, grooming, and cleaning their carriers • fostering animals in your home until they find their forever homes.

• clerical duties like data entry, assembling medical folders, and general office help. • front desk assistance with answering phones and scheduling clients. • drivers to do pickup and drop-offs at various locations. • groundskeeping. • sorting donated items in the Thrift Store. • participating in fundraising activities and special events like the annual Tails on the Trails Pet Walk, held at Bradys Run Park in September. Midnite, who is currently up for adoption at BCHS, shows off her artwork.

The Consumer Corner Medicare fraud undermines an already burdened healthcare system M edicare fraud has been funneling billions of taxpayer dollars out of our healthcare system, which is already in trouble. People and companies that have been “gaming” the system must be found and prosecuted. Some examples of Medicare fraud: • In Los Angeles, California, four employees of Alpha Ambulance, Inc. were charged with providing medically unnecessary services to the tune of $49.2 million in false claims to Medicare. • In Brooklyn, New York, nine employees of Cropsey Medical Care were charged with paying kickbacks to beneficiaries for receiving unnecessary physical therapy amounting to $13.8 million in claims. • In Dallas, Texas, 14 individuals were indicted for participating in various home healthcare schemes involving false billings for more than $100 million in services not rendered. • In Wayne County, Pennsylvania, dentist James Fruchan was charged with billing Medicaid for procedures not performed and for falsifying patient charts to support his claims. • In Philadelphia, 12 people were charged in connection with a $95 million scheme that had Medicare beneficiaries getting cash, spa treatments, dance lessons, facials, and many other goodies for use of their Medicare I.D.s and for undergoing unnecessary procedures. There is, unfortunately, too much Medicare fraud that goes unreported or unnoticed. A relative of mine was meticulous about the accuracy of his hospital and doctor bills after having major open-heart surgery. He submitted a letter to Medicare detailing that approximately 20 percent, or $10,000, of his $50,000 in CMS-claimed services were, to the best of his knowledge, not provided. He received no follow-up from Medicare. Most people, who do not have any significant check or payment to forward in settling their medical bills, often do not even review their CMS statements of the benefits they received for provider services “rendered.” Their apparent attitude is: Why care if Medicare pays the bills in full, or that there is little or no personal liability owed by the patient themselves?

According to the Department of Health and Human Services, Medicare fraud and medical identity theft add $65 billion annually to costs already overburdened and significantly over-budgeted in today’s dollars. Consider how much more this fraud is adding today with the inflated cost of everything from the pills to the medical appliances that often accompany required treatments. Other examples of Medicare fraud include: • A provider that bills Medicare for services or supplies they never gave you, like charging for a visit you’ve never heard of, or a back brace you never received. • A provider that charges Medicare twice or more for a service you may have only received once. • A person who steals your Medicare number or card and uses it to submit fraudulent claims in your name. • A company that offers you a Medicare drug plan that Medicare hasn’t approved for use. Here are some of the things to look for in your quarterly Medicare Summary Notices that will enable you to help spot and report fraud. • Anyone on Medicare has a right to a sufficiently detailed, itemized statement of services or medical products provided by those making claims against your account. These are essential for making determinations of both the accuracy and content in your medical records. • Check to make sure that the dates, services, and billing codes on your MSN coincides with any of the statements, bills, or other paperwork that you actually received for your doctor’s services or other medical assistance. If you discover a discrepancy, or question the validity of any item billed, contact the party or company involved for clarification. If it doesn’t appear to be a mistake and it cannot be resolved to your satisfaction, call Medicare at (800) 633-4227) or visit medicare.gov. • If you would prefer to send your complaint in writing, document your concerns in a letter to Medicare and enclose a copy of the MSN with it, requesting a prompt reply. Use the address on the MSN cover letter. Follow up with Medicare if you do not hear from them within the requested reply timeframe. Please do your part to help police the basic accuracy of the costs you incur. They will benefit you and the vast number of seniors dependent on Medicare remaining viable in the years ahead.

Here are some useful tips for interacting with someone who

Center at the Mall

• Identify yourself when entering a room; also let them know when you are exiting.

Beaver Valley Mall, Monaca

has vision loss:

• Give specific directions like, “The desk is five feet to your right.” • Give a clear word picture such as color, texture, shape and landmarks. • Touch them on the arm or use their name. • Don’t shout when you speak. They can’t see but often have fine hearing. • Don’t be afraid to use words like “blind” or “see.” Their eyes may not work, but it’s still okay to say, “Nice to see you.”

Trained counselors will be available to help you understand your health insurance options and answer your Medicare questions. We will clarify terms and choices that should give you a better understanding when selecting your Medicare options. Some topics to be covered are:

• If a blind person seems to need help, introduce yourself and ask if they need assistance. Don’t insist upon trying to help if your offer of assistance is declined.

• Medicare Parts A, B, C, D

• If a blind person asks you for directions, use words such as “straight ahead”, “turn left” or “on your right.” Don’t point and say, “Go that way,” or “It’s over there.”

• Medigap vs. Medicare Advantage

• If you’re asked to guide someone, allow that person to hold your arm/elbow as you walk. Don’t grab the person by the hand, arm or shoulder and try to steer them. • Move your guiding arm behind your back when approaching a narrow space so the person you are guiding can step behind you and follow single file. • Don’t grab the person’s cane or the handle of a guide dog’s harness. Don’t distract a guide dog, as they are working.

• Medicare Enrollment Deadlines/Penalties • The “doughnut hole” • The Affordable Care Act and Medicare RSVP by calling the Beaver County Office on Aging PA MEDI program at (724) 847-2262. All interested parties of any age are welcome.

• Speak directly to the individual and treat them as such. Do not speak through a companion.

Try this recipe if you are following a gluten-free diet By Angela Gentile Administrative Officer II Beaver County Office on Aging

More people are following

a gluten-free diet of avoiding wheat and other grains, and choosing substitutes that provide nutrients for a healthy diet, according to the Mayo Clinic.

The diet also is popular with people who have not been diagnosed with a gluten-related medical condition but feel the diet helps with improved health, weight loss and increased energy. The medical community believes that more research is needed on this. Allowable foods for a gluten-free diet include fruits, vegetables, beans, seeds, legumes, nuts in natural unprocessed forms, eggs, lean-non-processed meats, fish, poultry, most low-fat diary products, amaranth, arrowroot, buckwheat, corn, cornmeal, grits, polenta, flax, gluten-free flours (rice, soy, corn potato and bean), hominy, millet, quinoa, rice, sorghum, soy, tapioca, and teff. Processed foods often contain gluten, so it is important to read product labels. Wheat or wheat gluten can be added as a thickening or binding agent, flavoring or coloring. Foods to avoid, unless they are labeled as gluten-free or made with corn, rice, soy or other gluten-free grain, are beer, ale, porter, stout, breads, bulger wheat, cakes, pies, candies, cereals, cookies, crackers, croutons, French fries, gravies, imitation meat or seafood, malt, matzo, pasta, hot dogs, processed lunchmeats, salad dressings, sauces, seasoned rice mixes, seasoned snack foods, self-basting poultry, soups, bullion, soup mixes, and vegetables in sauce. Wheat gluten is sometimes also used as a binding agent in over-the counter or prescription medicines. Discuss this with your doctor or pharmacist. Many food companies are making more gluten-free products available in the grocery stores. Restaurants have been providing more gluten-free options for customers. You may say, can I eat anything fun? The answer is yes. There are a lot of gluten-free recipes available. Try this one.

Gluten-Free Lemon Tart Crust: • 1 c. gluten free flour blend • 1 c. almond flour • 1/4 c. sugar • 2 T. grated lemon peel • 1/8 t. salt • 1 large egg • 1/2 c. butter • 5-6 T. water Filling: • 1/2 c. sugar • 2 large eggs • 1 T. grated lemon peel • 1/3 c. lemon juice • 3/4 c. heavy cream In a large bowl, add dry ingredients for the crust. Whisk to blend. Add cold butter in chunks and use a pastry blender to combine the butter into the flour; it should look very grainy when finished. Add eggs and 3 tablespoons of water. Mix the dough. Continue to add the last 2-3 tablespoons of water, one at a time, until the dough holds together. Spray a tart pan with coconut oil and press dough into pan. Bake crust at 350º F for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool. Combine sugar and eggs in a medium saucepan and cook over low heat. Whisk to blend. Cook for 5 minutes then add lemon juice, and grated lemon peel. Continue to whisk and cook for 2-3 minutes until it begins to thicken. Add cream and cook 5 more minutes. Remove from heat and pour filling into the crust. Bake for 20 minutes.

It’s so much fun sharing my love of nostalgia with all of you! I mean, who doesn’t enjoy reflecting on the easier, breezier years of our youth and the decades past? Each question takes us back in time, and then we get to share our own remembrances in our answers—which takes us all further down that beautiful memory lane! I hope the answers from our readers in this month’s issue bring a smile to your face. As I shared in my debut column, seniors are at the heart of everything I do!

What memories do you have of playing a jukebox and which songs did you play? June-August 2022 • Beaver County Senior News

dance. I still can hear my dad singing Frank Sinatra’s “I Love You, Baby” and Lou Rawls’ “You’ll Never Find Another Love Like Mine.” That basement was like a disco with mirrored walls and everyone would dance to the BeeGees’ “Staying Alive.” - Sabina Simpkins, Palm City, FL (formerly of Beaver) * “Long Train Runnin’” by The Doobie Brothers - Debbie Ferrigno Black, Chippewa, PA * I remember the big, old Wurlitzer jukebox in the back room of Pop’s Ice Cream Parlour on Hamaica Avenue in Woodhaven Queens, New York. It had two big tubes filled with water and bubbles that floated up. It was during the early British invasion so The Beatles “She Loves Me” and “Please Please Me” were number one on the charts. - Ken Doerbecker, Wexford, PA

What was your favorite TV show to watch when you got home from school?

* “Silly Love Songs” by Wings - Paul Bianchi, Pittsburgh, PA * “High on a Hill” by Scott English - Al Mazuch, Mars, PA * “Under the Boardwalk” by The Drifters - Sherry Smith, Cincinnati, OH * My dad bought a juke box from an old bar near Batavia, NY in the mid1970s and put it in our basement because they wanted to have a fun place for get-togethers with friends. My parents would have parties and everyone would sing and

* “Spiderman” - Ulises Bruce, Chicago, IL * “Popeye N’ Knish” - Richard Gallagher, Baden, PA * I rushed home to watch Jeff Smith (puppeteer) and Batty Hattie from Cincinnati, my hometown! - Debbie Wagner, North Sewickley, PA * “Dark Shadows” - Holly Mathias, Ambridge, PA

* “Gilligan’s Island” - Scott Patterson, North Sewickley, PA * “Dark Shadows” - Annemarie Ballas Tejan, Aliquippa, PA * “Mickey Mouse Club” - Adele Fatur, Zelienople, PA * “Gentle Ben”, “Mr. Ed”, “Lassie” and “Flipper” - Debbie Ferrigno Black, Chippewa, PA * Soap operas - Janet Smith, Cincinnati, OH

What are your best memories of being at the drive-in?

* My husband and I go to the Dependable Drive-in all the time. It’s my favorite date! - Erika Schaltenbrand, Wexford, PA * It’s a great place to make out! - Janet Smith, Cincinnati, OH * We made popcorn at home, put it in a big brown shopping bag, got into our pajamas, and off the family went. Fun! - Holly Mathias, Ambridge, PA * I remember going to the Oakley Drive-in with my parents and sister. It was kind of like our family thing. We didn’t bring popcorn because my parents loved going to the concession stand. I think they liked it better than the movie! - Debbie Wagner, North Sewickley, PA * I will never forget being babysat by my oldest cousin when me and my brothers were between the ages of four and nine. Without telling my parents, she put us in a station wagon and took us to see “Dirty Harry” at the Greater Pittsburgh Drive-in in Versailles. When any “bad” parts came on, we had to go under our blankets. My mom was livid! That drive-in closed in 1997. - Jackie Danko Hooper, Monroeville, PA

* I saw a boatload of movies at the Evergreen Drive-In in Mt. Pleasant. They usually played kids’ fare for the opener, and more adult-oriented (still G-rating by today’s standards) for the second flick, which my brother and I probably slept through. - Richard Gallagher, Baden, PA * My parents would make a paper grocery bag filled with popcorn and put me and my sister in our pajamas to go to Tusca Drive-in on Tuscarawas Road in Brighton Township. We didn’t go often, but we sure loved it! - Heidi Shepler, Ohioville, PA * When I was very young, we’d go to watch “McHale’s Navy” at Starlight Drive-in in Wexford in our pajamas. My mom would take along Hi-C and chips. - Al Mazuch, Mars, PA * I remember going to Camp Horne Drive-in to see “Easy Money” with Rodney Dangerfield and “Breathless” with Richard Gere. - Judy Ghinassi Neville, New Sewickley, PA
