The Meaning of The King Holiday

The Martin Luther King Jr Holiday celebrates the life and legacy of a man who

brought hope and healing to America We commemorate as well the timeless values he

taught us through his example mdash the values of courage truth

justice compassion dignity humility and service that so

radiantly defined Dr Kingrsquos character and empowered his

leadership On this holiday we commemorate the universal

unconditional love forgiveness and nonviolence that empowered

his revolutionary spirit

It is a day of interracial and intercultural cooperation and sharing No other day

of the year brings so many peoples from different cultural backgrounds together in such

a vibrant spirit of brother and sisterhood Whether you are African-American Hispanic

or Native American whether you are Caucasian or Asian-American you are part of the

great dream Martin Luther King Jr had for America This is not a black holiday it is a

peoplesrsquo holiday And it is the young people of all races and religions who hold the keys

to the fulfillment of his dream

We commemorate on this holiday the ecumenical leader and visionary who

embraced the unity of all faiths in love and truth And though we take patriotic pride that

Dr King was an American on this holiday we must also commemorate the global leader

who inspired nonviolent liberation movements around the world Indeed on this day

programs commemorating my husbandrsquos birthday are being observed in more than 100

nations

This Holiday by making your personal commitment to serve humanity with the

vibrant spirit of unconditional love that was his greatest strength and which empowered

all of the great victories of his leadership And with our hearts open to this spirit of

unconditional love we can indeed achieve the Beloved Community of Martin Luther

King Jrrsquos dream

5 Commitment to Volunteering Keeps Foster Grandparents on the Move

A testimonial by Aerial Johnson

On September 12 2014 I Aerial Johnson PCCEO Foster Grandparent Support Clerk along with Stephanie A

Green PCCEO Foster Grandparent Director and 15 Foster Grandparent Volunteers attended the National Service

Recognition Day In Springfield IL The opportunity to attend was amazing

The Foster Grandparents contacted Central Illinois Agency on Aging to provide bus service for this trip Their

driver Mr JD Hardin showed great hospitality while transporting us to Springfield and back to Peoria We were

able to meet and network with other volunteers and nonprofit organizations serving throughout the state of Illinois

We were also able to celebrate the accomplishments of several volunteers serving the needs of communities schools

and agencies that are non-profits Recognition was given to our very own Foster Grandparent the late Norma

Wilson who was an active volunteer for PCCEO FGP for over 22 years

Foster Grandparent volunteers as well as staff donated bottles of hand sanitizer and bleach wipes to be donated to the

Northside Childrenrsquos Library in Springfield IL Participants were asked to make a donation of a book and the hand

sanitizer and bleach wipes were on a special wish list

In addition we witnessed AmeriCorps celebrating its 20th Anniversary within its network of local state and

national service programs which engage with more than 80000 Americans in projects around the nation each year

We concluded our trip by going to the Old State Capitol all participants took an oath to volunteer and give back to

the communities that they came from

6 A SUCCESS STORY

From the Long Term Care Ombudsman Program (LTCOP)

From Lee Linwood

The Liaison of the LTCOP

The Ombudsman Program received a telephone call from an employee of a local long term facility who reported that

a residentrsquos guardian had not been paying for his care at the facility nor providing him with his monthly money As a

consequence of this the resident was going to receive an involuntary discharge

Later the Ombudsman went to the facility and met with the resident and the staff person and obtained all the

information needed to pursue a resolution The writer called the guardian later Friday night and discussed the

situation with her and reminded her of the responsibilities of guardians She assured the Ombudsman that she would

be at the facility the following Monday morning to pay Rrsquos bill in full and to arrange an account for his allowance

The writer visited the facility on Monday to discover that the guardian had kept her word and paid Rrsquos bill in full and

arranged an account for his allowance Consequently Rrsquos placement is stable and he was very happy with the

outcome

An Herb to Know

Beauty uses for Roses

By Esther Thompson

Transition Engagement Specialist

This time of year your skin seems to shrivel up and get dry and

flakey Moisture is sucked from your skin at an alarming rate You also

crave to smell the scents of Spring One of those cravings is for the smell of

flowers One of my favorites is roses They are not just a pretty flower with a

nice aroma they are natural beauty remedies that can help that alligator skin

One way to enjoy the delicate smell of roses is to make rose water

Rose water can be made by steeping or distilling rose petals in water Rose

water is used in beauty products perfumes and also in cooking - especially in

Middle Eastern recipes Rose water is great for all skin types It has gentle anti

-bacterial properties to it and can help relieve redness and inflammation in the skin This makes it a great product to

use for those who suffer with acne or chronic redness It wont dry out your skin so its especially good for those

with dry skin It has been known to help with under-eye circles and softening of early signs of aging Irsquove been using

this spritzer on my face for 30 years It also is great to use on skin irritations such as bug bites or sun burns You can

purchase whole rose buds or rose petals in bulk at most full service natural food stores They are surprisingly

inexpensive and are naturally dried to maintain their intoxicating smell I make my own rose water to use in the

winter to spritz on my face for moisture and use it cold from the refrigerator in the summer to cool me off

Making your own rose water couldnt be easier

Fill a pot with fresh or naturally dried rose petals or buds and cover them with distilled water The water

should only just over the roses Too much water and your rose oil will be very diluted Cover the pot turn to fire to

low and slowly bring it to a boil Turn off heat keep cover on and let water come to room temperature Once at room

temperature strain out petals and pour into clean sanitized spray bottle Use it generously on your skin to maintain a

fresh dewy look

What is Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a complicated disease in which damage

to the optic nerve leads to progressive irreversible

vision loss Glaucoma is the second leading cause of

blindness

Types of Glaucoma

Glaucoma is actually a group of diseases The most

common type is hereditary

Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma

Angle-Closure Glaucoma

Normal-Tension Glaucoma

Other Types of Glaucoma

Are You at Risk For Glaucoma

Everyone is at risk for glaucoma However

certain groups are at higher risk than others

People at high risk for glaucoma should get a

complete eye exam including eye dilation

every one or two years

The following are groups at higher risk for

developing glaucoma

African Americans

People Over 60

Family Members with Glaucoma

Hispanics in Older Age Groups

Asians

Steroid Users

Eye Injury

Other Risk Factors include High myopia

(nearsightedness) Hypertension and Central

corneal thickness less than 5 mm

What Can I Do to Prevent Glaucoma

Currently regular eye exams are the best form of

prevention against significant glaucoma damage

Early detection and careful lifelong treatment can

maintain vision in most people In general a check for

glaucoma should be done

before age 40 every two to four years

from age 40 to age 54 every one to three years

from age 55 to 64 every one to two years

after age 65 every six to 12 months

Anyone with high risk factors should be tested every year

Spread the word not the flu

What is influenza (also called flu)

The flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused

by influenza viruses that infect the nose throat

and lungs It can cause mild to severe illness and

at times can lead to death The best way to prevent

the flu is by getting a flu vaccine each year

How flu spreads

Most experts believe that flu viruses spread mainly

by droplets made when people with flu cough

sneeze or talk These droplets can land in the

mouths or noses of people who are nearby Less

often a person might also get flu by touching a

surface or object that has flu virus on it and then

touching their own mouth eyes or possibly their

nose

Period of contagiousness

You may be able to pass on the flu to someone else

before you know you are sick as well as while you

are sick Most healthy adults may be able to infect

others beginning 1 day before symptoms develop

and up to 5 to 7 days after becoming sick Some

people especially young children and people with

weakened immune systems might be able to infect

others for an even longer time

Source httpwwwcdcgovflukeyfactshtm

Signs and symptoms of flu

People who have the flu often feel some or all of these

signs and symptoms

middot Fever or feeling feverishchills

middot Cough

middot Sore throat

middot Runny or stuffy nose

middot Muscle or body aches

middot Headaches

middot Fatigue (very tired)

middot Some people may have vomiting and diarrhea

though this is more common in children than

adults

Itrsquos important to note that not everyone with flu will have

a fever

How serious is the flu

Flu is unpredictable and how severe it is can vary widely

from one season to the next depending on many things

including

middot what flu viruses are spreading

middot how much flu vaccine is available

middot when vaccine is available

middot how many people get vaccinated and

middot how well the flu vaccine is matched to flu viruses

that are causing illness

Certain people are at greater risk for serious complications

if they get the flu This includes older people young

children pregnant women and people with certain health

conditions (such as asthma diabetes or heart disease)

Flu seasons are unpredictable and can be severe Over a

period of 30 years between 1976 and 2006 estimates of

flu-associated deaths in the United States range from a low

of about 3000 to a high of about 49000 people

Pledging to drop pounds might be the most popular New Yearrsquos resolution but consider adding these 10 simple

steps to reduce your risk of scams in 2015 and beyond

New Yearrsquos Resolutions to Prevent Scams

Posted By Sid Kirchheimer AARP

1 Get your credit report ndash three times a year Only

about 1 in 6 Americans check their credit reports

annually with each of the three credit bureaus and 1 in 4

check with only one bureau AARP has found

2 Be a better shredder In addition to regularly

destroying bills receipts bank statements and other

paperwork with personally identifying information by

using a ldquomicro-cutrdquo or cross-cut shredder donrsquot ignore

prescription labels

3 Be less ldquosocialrdquo on social media Even with privacy

settings mdash and especially without them mdash be cautious

with personal details including names of family

members that could be harvested for the Grandparents

Scam

4 Rewrite your passwords I think of my log-in

credentials like furnace air filters changing most of

them every month or two (and that includes user names)

Use different passwords on different accounts a

password manager helps with issuing and storing various

passwords in an encrypted database

5 Mind your money It takes only a few minutes each

day to check all of your financial accounts online to

ensure there are no unexpected or fraudulent

transactions If you donrsquot have online access to your

accounts get it it is safer than mailed statements

6 Prepare and file your taxes ASAP More than $5

billion in fraudulent tax refunds were issued in 2013 as

scammers e-filed fraudulent returns to collect refunds as

entitled taxpayers A locking mailbox is a great defense

yet is used by fewer than half according to AARP

research

7 Avoid junk mail Get off mailing lists for

pre-approved credit card offers ndash a gold mine for

identity thieves ndash by calling 1-888-567-8688 or

visiting optoutprescreencom

8 Ask about new ldquosmartrdquo credit cards By

October at least half of the 12 billion payment cards

in the US should be replaced with more secure ldquochip

and PINrdquo cards

9 Enroll for alerts Most banks and credit card

companies let you set up free account alerts to inform

you whenever a transaction is made If you frequently

buy with plastic and donrsquot want to be contacted for

each use ask about establishing a ldquoCard Not Presentrdquo

alert so yoursquore notified when a purchase is made

without a physical swipe such as transactions done

over the phone or on the Internet

10 Get hot on freezes Placing a credit freeze (also

known as a security freeze) on your credit report is an

easy way to reduce your risk of identity theft A

freeze doesnrsquot impede your ability to check your

credit report at AnnualCreditReportcom and does not

affect credit scores It can be unthawed if yoursquore

planning to apply for new credit insurance or a job

(for which credit reports are also checked)

January 26-30 2015

The Federal Trade Commission the lead agency on identity theft reported that government documents benefits

fraud is the most common form of reported identity theft At the IRS we take this issue very seriously

What is identity theft

Identity theft occurs when someone uses your

personal information such as your name Social

Security number or other identifying information

without your permission to commit fraud or

other crimes

Identity theft is a serious crime People whose

identities have been stolen can spend months or

years (as well was their hard earned money)

repairing the mess thieves have made of their good

name and credit record Meanwhile as a result of

this financial fallout victims may lose job

opportunities be refused loans education housing

or transportation and may even be arrested for

crimes they didnrsquot commit

How can you minimize becoming a victim

Donrsquot carry your Social Security card or any

document(s) with your SSN on it

Donrsquot give a business your SSN just because they

ask - only when absolutely necessary Question

why it is needed and how it will be used

Protect your financial information

Check you credit report at least every 12 months

Secure personal information in your home

Protect your personal computers by using

firewalls antispamvirus software update security

patches and change passwords for Internet

accounts

Donrsquot give personal information over the phone

through the mail or on the Internet unless you have

either initials the contract or are sure you know

who is asking

Remember the IRS does not initiate contact with

taxpayers by email to request personal or financial

information-this includes any type of electronic

communication such as text messages and social

media channels

What if you receive an e-mail claiming to be from

the IRS

Confirm the contact you have received is from the

IRS by calling 1-800-829-1040

Please forward the bogus e-mail claiming to be

from the IRS to phishingirsgov Go to IRSgov

(keyword ldquophishingrdquo) to get instructions on how to

forward the e-mail message

Do not open attachments or click on the links

found within the bogus e-mail

Volunteers from four area churches used New Yearrsquos Day as an opportunity to give to seniors a return on the

many blessings they receive in their lives

Churches involved in preparing and delivering almost 800 meals were Bethel United Methodist Church New

Morning Star Missionary Baptist Church Church of the Living God (Broadway and Nebraska) in Peoria and First

Baptist Church in Pekin Thank you to the organizers from these churches who gave a lot of time to make this a

success Mr Ed Funchess Ms Johnnie Locker Ms Fannie Williams Ms Pearl Smith and Ms Laura Over

This program has been in existence for more than 20 years and keeps running due to the many committed

volunteers

Volunteers shared laughs hugs and stories as they prepared packaged and loaded up cars with meals to

deliver to area seniors

Ruthie Hamer one of the many volunteers states it pretty

well ldquoYou donrsquot really know who is coming to the door Then when

you get these faces of gratitude you just feel really proud of the fact

that yoursquore a part of itrdquo

Meals are funded by the annual Dr Laurence Norton Golf

Tournament

Volunteers are able to return some of the many blessings they receive to others
