Is Your Home Fall Proof?

More than one in three people age 65 years or older falls each year, and most falls happen at home. Making simple changes in your living environment may keep you from falling.

About Falls Many people have a friend or relative who has fallen. The person may have slipped while walking or felt dizzy when standing up from a chair and fallen. Maybe you’ve fallen yourself.

If you or an older person you know has fallen, you’re not alone. More than one in three people age 65 years or older falls each year. The risk of falling — and fall-related problems — rises with age.

Falls Lead to Fractures, Trauma Each year, more than 1.6 million older U.S. adults go to emergency departments for fall-related injuries. Among older adults, falls are the number one cause of fractures, hospital admissions for trauma, loss of independence, and injury deaths.

Fractures caused by falls can lead to hospital stays and disability. Most often, fall-related fractures are in the person’s hip, pelvis, spine, arm, hand, or ankle.

Hip fractures are one of the most serious types of fall injury. They are a leading cause of injury and loss of independence, among older adults. Most healthy, independent older adults who are hospitalized for a broken hip are able to return home or live on their own after treatment and rehabilitation. Most of those who cannot return to independent living after such injuries had physical or mental disabilities before the fracture. Many of them will need long-term care.

Fear of Falling Many older adults are afraid of falling.

This fear becomes more common as people age, even among those who haven’t fallen.

It may lead older people to avoid activities such as walking, shopping, or taking part in social activities.

If you’re worried about falling, talk with

your doctor or another health care provider.

Your doctor may refer you to a physical therapist. Physical therapy can help you improve your balance and walking and help build your walking confidence. Getting rid of your fear of falling can help you to stay active, maintain your physical health, and prevent future falls.

b h

Tell Your Doctor If You Fall If you fall, be sure to discuss the fall with your doctor, even if you aren’t hurt. Many underlying causes of falls can be treated or corrected. For example, falls can be a sign of a new medical problem that needs attention, such as diabetes or changes in blood pressure, particularly drops in blood pressure on standing up. They can also be a sign of problems with your medications or eyesight that can be corrected. After a fall, your doctor may suggest changes in your medication or your eyewear prescription.

He or she may also suggest physical therapy, use of a walking aid, or other steps to help prevent future falls. These steps can also make you more confident in your abilities.

Ways to Prevent Falls Exercise to improve your balance and strengthen your muscles helps to prevent falls. Not wearing bifocal or multifocal glasses when you walk, especially on stairs, will make you less likely to fall. You can also make your home safer by making some simple changes (see following tips).

Falls are not an inevitable part of life, even as a person gets older. You can take action to prevent falls.

Simple Changes for Home Safety Six out of every 10 falls happen at home, where we spend much of our time and tend to move around without thinking about our safety. Many falls could be prevented by making simple changes in your living areas,

The information was provided by NIHSeniorHealth and developed by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) at NIH.

Home Safety Tips An important step toward preventing falls at home is to remove anything that

could cause you to trip or slip while walking. Tripping on clutter, small furniture, pet bowls, electrical or phone cords, or other things can cause you to fall. Slipping on rugs or slick floors can also cause falls.

Arrange furniture to give you plenty of room to walk freely. Also remove items from stairs, hallways, and pathways.

Be sure that carpets are secured to the floor and stairs. Remove throw rugs, use non-slip rugs, or attach rugs to the floor with double-sided tape.

Put non-slip strips on floors and steps. Put

non-slip strips or a rubber mat on the floor of your bathtub or shower, as well. You can buy these items at a home center or hardware store.

At home and elsewhere, try to avoid wet floors and clean up spills right away. Use only non-skid wax on waxed floors at home.

Be careful when walking outdoors, and avoid going out alone on ice or snow. A simple slip on a slick sidewalk, a curb, or icy stairs could result in a serious injury.

During the winter, ask someone to spread sand or salt on icy surfaces. Be sure to wear boots with good traction if you must go out when it snows. Better yet, don’t take chances walking on icy or slippery surfaces.

Poor lighting — inside and outdoors — can increase your risk of falls. Make sure you have enough lighting in each room, at entrances, and on outdoor walkways. Use light bulbs that have the highest wattage recommended for the fixture.

Good lighting on stairways is especially important. Light switches at both the top and bottom of stairs can help.

Place a lamp within easy reach of your bed. Put night lights in the bathroom, hallways, bedroom, and kitchen. Also keep a flashlight by your bed in case the power is out and you need to get up.

Have handrails installed on both sides of stairs and walkways. If you must carry something while walking up or down stairs, hold the item in one hand and use the handrail with the other. When you’re carrying something, be sure you can see where your feet are stepping.

Properly placed grab bars in your tub and shower, and next to the toilet, can help you avoid falls, too. Have grab bars installed, and use them every time you get in and out of the tub or shower. Be sure the grab bars are securely attached to the wall.

You might find it helpful to rearrange often-used items in your home to make them more accessible. Store food boxes, cans, dishes, clothing, and other everyday items within easy reach. This simple change could prevent a fall that might come from standing on a stool to get to an item.

If you have fallen, your doctor might suggest that an occupational therapist, physical therapist, or nurse visit your home.

These health care providers can assess your home’s safety and advise you about making changes to prevent falls.

REFLECTING ON ONE HUNDRED

Sesquicentennial Commemoration

Belle Boyd, Confederate Spy Article provided by Joanne Huntsberry, Volunteer Researcher, Berkeley County Historical Society Maria Isabella (Belle) Boyd was born May 9th, 1843 in Bunker Hill, WV. Belle was the oldest of eight children, but only four lived to adulthood. Her siblings all moved to the mid-west as adults.

By the time Belle was 7, the family had moved to Martinsburg in a log house on Burke Street. Her father, Benjamin, was a storekeeper and had three store rooms built against his new house being built on Race Street. He and his brother, John, also a store keeper, moved their families to Martinsburg after the B&O trains started coming through. Belle’s mother was Mary Glenn. Her grandmother was Ruth Burns.

As a little girl, Belle was expelled from her school, because she took exception to the Yankee schoolmarm’s remarks. The schoolmarm said she was too disruptive in the class.

The Boyds moved into the new house in 1853, when Belle was 10. By the time she was 11, she wanted to come to the adult’s dinner party in the ballroom of the new house, and she was told she wasn’t old enough. Belle went out back, got on her pony and started to ride it into the house and said the horse was old enough, wasn’t it?

By age 12, Belle was enrolled in a new school called the Mt. Washington Female College, not far from Baltimore City. The school was begun by a minister of the German Reformed Church and gave courses in classical literature, European languages, music, horsemanship, and the social graces.

The school building was four stories high and eight sided. The length of 30 AUGUS T 2013

time to be attended was four years.

Belle carved the name “Annie Belle” and the date January 22, 1856 on a ground floor window, which later owners protected. Belle could come home to Martinsburg on the train or her father could take the horse and buggy and get her, which would take much longer. As her father wasn‘t very well due to a heart condition from being in the army, this was less likely.

Belle and her family lived in the house until 1857, when a recession took place. Railroad workers hadn’t paid their tabs at the store, since they weren’t working anymore. As a result, Benjamin had to sell his farm in Back Creek, some slaves, and his house.

Even though their home was sold, they may have been allowed to live in it until the next house was built on South Queen Street around 1860.

Belle had graduated at age 16 from the College. After graduation, she wrote to her cousin Willie in the midwest telling him all about herself and that she was looking for a husband. She described herself as having beautiful skin, pearly white teeth, nicely fixed brown hair, deep brown eyes, well built and wearing a size 2-1/2 shoe. She told him that she was the most attractive of all his cousins.

Belle had her “coming out” in Washington, D.C., in that year. She and her mother stayed in D.C. for some time, and when they came back to Martinsburg, her father had joined the army. She and her mother rode out to the camp at Harper’s Ferry to visit him and a relative. Belle wanted to do something to help the cause, and her THE VALLEY REVUE

spying activity probably started on South Queen Street when she was almost 17.

Then on July 4th, 1861, a drunken Yankee soldier pushed into the house and said he would find their Rebel flag and burn it, then put the Union flag up.

Belle’s mother, Mary, tried to push the door shut and during that she was pushed down hard. Belle had the gun her father left for their protection behind her skirt, and she fired it at the soldier. Eliza Kirby, the maid ran to get the flag and hid it. The soldier was killed, and the officer who was called arrested her and put her in the Courthouse overnight.

Belle Boyd, Confederate Spy,

Jackson.

On May 23rd, living with her Aunt Fanny Stewart in Front Royal, Virginia, Belle overheard Union officers making plans in the dining room, by taking a knot from the floor and putting her ear down. She found out that the 1st Maryland was the only regiment in town, and they were ripe for the taking.

Jackson ordered his Confederate 1st Maryland to the front of his force.

His attack was sudden, heavy and successful, routing 1000 men and capturing 700 men and 20 officers, along with two 10 pound Parrot guns. It wasn’t long before Belle found herself being arrested after she talked too much to a young man she thought was with the South, however, it turned out he was for the North and was spying on her.

For her help to Stonewall Jackson’s army, she was made a Captain, and an Honorary Aide-De-Camp. She was paid by the South, and always wore a money belt.

Belle was taken to Washington, D.C., by order of Secretary of War Stanton and escorted by a small army of over 500, led by an officer named Sherman.

A rough detective never left her side.

They thought the Confederates or the population might try to rescue her.

Belle was taken to the Old Capitol prison, which had been a hotel in the past. She was fed well, but the July heat was bad. People in the street called to her and sang a Southern song with her.

She was quite popular with the people.

An officer across the hall and Belle exchanged secret messages when the guard was down the hall. They planned to get married when they went to Richmond. Belle asked the warden if he could get her some new clothes for the wedding. He went and bought her one or two trunk loads of clothes. Other women were jealous when they saw her dressed in the latest fashions. There weren’t many new clothes from Europe to be had, due to the blockade. She was held for about a month then released to Richmond, where she stayed for a few weeks. The young officer didn’t get 32 AUGUS T 2013

there, so there was not a wedding.

Belle wanted to return to Martinsburg, but asked General Jackson about it and he told her to go to Knoxville and stay with relatives so she wouldn’t be arrested. She did that and the people in town were overjoyed that she was there. Belle went to many parties. Then she toured other parts of the South, where people welcomed her in the same way.

Eventually, Belle went back home, because her mother was about to have another baby. In 3 days, the Union troops came to town and knocked on her door. She was told she could not leave the house unless it was at 5 a.m., when she could walk a little. When she walked too far she was brought back by guards.

In time, Belle was again arrested by order of Secretary of War Stanton and taken to the Old Carroll prison in DC. This time she remained for 3 months and got typhoid fever. Her father went to ask his former neighbor, Ward Hill Lamon, who was in charge of the prisons, to let her go. He knew Lamon from Bunker Hill at the time of Belle’s birth and Lamon did set her free. Belle lambasted him for being with the Union instead of the South, when his family was all pro-South.

The next important thing Belle did was to try to run the sea blockade with a dispatch from President Davis to London, probably for help and money for the South. The Greyhound was overtaken by a Union ship and she was arrested again. A young Lt. Samuel Wylde Hardinge was in charge of her.

He had long brown hair – to his shoulders – and was good looking. He fell in love and asked Belle to marry him. She said if he helped get the code book and let the captain escape, then joined the Confederate army when he could, she would marry him. Most of this happened.

The ship went to Boston and Belle was deported and escorted to Canada.

She was told that if she came back she would be shot. One thing of interest was that she had two slave children THE VALLEY REVUE

with her, who were very well dressed.

She stayed for a while in Canada and then went to London, where she was joined by Sam. They were married in July, 1864, at St. James – the next King of England and other important people attended.

In a month or so, Sam did go back to Martinsburg and was going to join the South, when he was arrested in Harpers Ferry and taken ultimately to Fort Delaware or Pea Island prison. He had a hard time there at first, sleeping on the floor with no covers in the winter.

Finally, he was allowed a box from his mother that was being withheld, which contained warm blankets. He had to write a letter to the head of the prison to get the box.

The next year Belle and Sam had a baby girl named Grace. They were out of money, so they went on the stage as actors or to talk about their past. No money was coming in letters as it was taken out before it left the States. That was when she wrote the book, “In Camp and Prison.” She was the first woman from the new state of West Virginia to become an author and publish a book abroad, and was also the first well-known actress and former spy.

The time was 1865 and the war was over, but they couldn’t come back to the States until 1867, when amnesty was declared.

Belle went to the Supreme Court of New York and got a divorce from Sam, because he had gotten a girlfriend in London, for which Belle never forgave him.

Sam Wylde Hardinge worked as a purser for ocean-going ships and lived www.v alley revue.com

out of Brooklyn, his home place, until his death March 6, 1879.

Six months after the divorce, Belle married a Union Colonel Edmund Hammond, who was a businessman.

The couple traveled a lot. They had four children, but a baby boy she named Arthur died after Belle had to go to a mental institution before she gave birth.

The others were Belle Jr., Byrd Swainston Hammond and Edmund, Jr. Belle discovered that Col. Hammond was still married to his first wife, and she divorced him. After he got a divorce from the first wife, she remarried him. It is likely Hammond would not allow her to go on the stage, and she didn’t stay married for much longer. Other women were posing as her on the stage and she couldn’t stand it.

When Belle was 44, she married her third husband, Hugh High, who was 25, an actor and her manager. Belle’s children all eventually went on the stage with her in small parts.

Belle and Hugh traveled through the States when they got parts. They were living in Kilbourn, Wisconsin (now the Dells), when she had a heart attack and died June 11, 1900, at age 57. She hadn’t been feeling well for a while prior to her passing. The children buried her there, because it was such a beautiful place and no relatives remained in Martinsburg.

The GAR (Grand Army of the Republic) or Union raised money for her burial gown, and tended her grave for years. She was buried with full military honors. An iron fence was placed around the grave later. At one point, the Mayor wrote a letter to a Southern officer asking if he knew her and if she was the correct person buried there. That officer gave the letter to another officer who wrote back to the Mayor, and said he did know her and she was indeed the right Belle Boyd.

The Mayor placed a plaque at her grave.

Today her grave is cared for by the American Legion. She was to appear at the Legion Hall the day she died. The Confederate Flag and the Flag of Virginia fly over her grave in Spring Grove Cemetery, Wisconson Dells, on Memorial Day. AUGUST 2013

erkeley Springs, a fountainhead of warm mineral waters frequented by Native Americans long before Europeans arrived in the New World, are at the heart of a mountain spa community in West Virginia’s Eastern Panhandle. First noted as Medicine Springs in 1747 on a map drawn by Thomas Jefferson’s father, the waters for many centuries have drawn visitors seeking health and relief from the stress of everyday life.

In 1776, George Washington’s family and friends drew up a plat of 134 lots, named the streets, and incorporated The Town of Bath, invoking the muses of the renowned English spa. Yet the magic of the springs prevailed, and the town and surrounding area are known by their name – Berkeley Springs.

The waters flow at a constant 74°F from the base of Warm Springs Ridge. You may still drink freely and fill your jugs at Lord Fairfax’s public tap, and wade in the ancient stone pools in the nation’s smallest state park. The town has endured cycles of notoriety, fashion, war and modern progress, but remains the Country’s First Spa, a quiet, friendly haven surrounded by West Virginia’s splendid outdoors. ß

Visit Historic Hedgesville!

H

edgesville is located in Skinner’s Gap on North Mountain, where the original Warm Springs Road (now WV9) passed through from Alexandria, Virginia to Bath (Berkeley Springs). An abundant spring drew the first settler and today serves as Town Spring marked by a protective structure. The spring is reportedly never affected by drought and the water is a persistent 57 degrees.

In 1738, the Hedges family began to acquire land just east of the gap.

During the French and Indian War in the 1750s, George Washington supervised the construction of a stockade fort in the gap called Fort Hedges. It was one of a string of forts constructed for protection against the French and their Indian allies.

The town was laid out in 1832 and established as Hedgesville by the Virginia General Assembly in 1836. At that time, a law was passed making it unlawful to “sit or loiter about Town Spring drinking spirits.” The town was finally incorporated in 1854 and in 1870 the Town Council was given control of the springs.

A number of antebellum historic structures still line the village streets, including many original log homes.

The village is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
