Smile, It’s Your Best FeatureFrom the EditorCriminal Hall of ShameKentucky (where else?): Two men tried to pull the front off a cash machine by running a chain from the machine to the bumper of their pickup truck. Instead of pulling the front panel off the machine, though, they pulled the bumper off their truck. Scared, they left the scene and drove home. With the chain still attached to the machine. With their bumper still attached to the chain. With their vehicle’s license plate still attached to the bumper.

South Carolina: A man walked into a local police station, dropped a bag of cocaine on the counter, informed the desk sergeant that it was substandard cut, and asked that the person who sold it to him be arrested immediately.

Indiana: A man walked up to a cashier at a grocery store and demanded all the money in the register. When the cashier handed him the loot, he fled--leaving his wallet on the counter.

Arizona: A company called “Guns For Hire” stages gunfights for Western movies, etc. One day, they received a call from a 47-year-old woman who wanted to have her husband killed. She got 4-1/2 years in jail.

This month we have two articles on wine and wine making. The first article is on Bob Thompson. Bob makes his wine in his home. He offers insight on how easy it is to start home winemaking and what you need in the way of supplies. We also have an article on the Lehigh Valley Wine Trail which promotes our eight family-owned vineyards.

There is an interesting exhibit at the America on Wheels museum in Allentown. It has classic cars that appeared in some of our favorite movies and TV shows. Lifestyles over 50 will have sponsor an open house May 22 from 2-�PM at the exhibit. Please come to enjoy the cars and chat with the staff of our magazine.

This month we have articles on “You’ve Earned a Say”. This is an initiative that will allow everyone to share their ideas on how to strengthen Social Security and Medicare.

Many of us Boomers are facing issues with caring for our aging parents. We have an article on what to look for when researching personal care facilities. Additionally we have a grid that highlights our area facilities and what they provide.

Lastly we bring back some memories from the year 1957. Stroll down this memory lane on pages 12-13.

Things To Do with Grandkidsby Vicki Bezems, Lifestyles over 50

Plant a Garden. Although the rototilling part of putting in a garden needs to be done by an adult, kids can have a lot of fun planting a garden. They are also more likely to eat vegetables they have grown themselves rather than fighting with them to eat a teaspoon of store bought canned beans. Kids can dig rows, plant seeds, water and help weed - just make sure they know the difference between the garden plants and the weeds.Lockridge May Festival featuring Renaissance music, May Pole dancing, and the “Crowning of the May Queen”.

I had the good fortune to see this new exhibit before it was open to the public. I must admit I was like a kid in a candy store. The exhibit showcases cars that appeared in some of our most-loved and well-known movies and TV shows.

The museum, located on North Front Street in Allentown, opened its newest exhibit on April 1�. Arriving from all over the country these vehicles have made an indelible mark on the nation’s culture. The exhibits are on loan from collectors and museums.

The six month exhibit will showcase the following:Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Car- The 1968 film with the same name was written by several writers including Ian Flemming of James Bond fame and starred Dick Van Dyke about an amazing flying car.

Muppet Car - Jim Henson’s “The Muppet Movie” from 1979 was the first in a series of live-action musical Muppet feature films. Henson used several classic cars in his first film, but the most famous was a pair of psychedelic painted 1951Studebaker Commander Coupes, one of which is coming to America On Wheels.

Austin Powers Car - On display will be the custom made 1998 Volkswagen Beetle featured in the movie ‘Austin Powers 2: The Spy Who Shagged Me.” Oh baby!

“Fast and Furious 2” 2001 Honda S2000 - This striking hot pink custom Honda roadster was driven by street racer, “Suki,” the only named female racer in the 2003 sequel film.

Most of us have had a glass or wine or two from time

to time. We also tend to associate a higher price with a better quality wine. So must we spend big bucks to drink good wine? Not necessarily.

I recently met with Bob Thompson of Lehighton. Like many people around the country he brews his own wine in his home. His results are quite impressive. He started out about 10 years ago making a very small batch of wine using a starter kit. He made a case of wine and found it surprisingly easy to do, and the wine was quite tasty. Today Bob regularly makes several cases of different types of wine, and his wine is so good that he has won a number of ribbons in amateur wine tasting contests.

So how easy is it to get started with wine making as a hobby? Bob suggested going to a local beer and wine brewing supplier or use the Internet to buy supplies. You can buy a starter kit for anywhere from $100-$200 – it usually includes a plastic barrel for fermenting, a glass carboy (a large glass barrel

used for your second stage of brewing), a case of bottles, corks, a corker, wine syrup, yeast, tools and complete instructions. That’s it. You can brew beer in a similar manner, but that’s another story for another time.

In about six weeks you can have your first batch of home-brewed wine. The other great feature is that the wine is also inexpensive - a case of good homemade wine will cost about $2.50 per bottle. Once you have made your first batch of wine with your starter kit all you need to buy for future brews is the wine syrup that comes in cans, some yeast and a few inexpensive chemicals. The one aspect that Bob emphasized was the need for cleanliness – it is essential for successful brewing. The starter kit gives you the supplies and instructions in this area also.

Bob has gone deeper into the art of making wine. He

and his wife, Nancy, now grow or buy their own grapes and fruits to make wine from “scratch”. This is a more involved process than using starter kits, but it allows for more creativity and customizing. Bob has made wine from strawberries, blackberries, jalapeno peppers (yes, jalapenos), peaches and just about any fruit you can name.

As with any hobby, the more you “get into it”, the more you will spend in time and supplies. However, you will also become more expert at making wine and be able to experiment with different techniques and ingredients. Bob has become quite the winemeister so his house has a lot of supplies around the house and basement. But he also has a wide range of delicious and

interesting wines.

Brewing your own wine will likely get you to meet others with a similar interest in wine making. This leads to new friends and the trading of knowledge that can only help to make you a better brewer. You can compare recipes and share

insights about the art of wine making.

Being a dedicated reporter I sampled quite a number of Bob’s wines and can attest to their quality. It’s a tough job but someone had to do it. So if you have ever had a desire to try making your own wine, give it a shot. You will find it easy to do and more importantly a very satisfying hobby. And don’t forget to invite me over to try your wine. I am pretty sure I’ll be free that day.

Are You Making Your Voice Heard?by Pat Nemetch, President APRN, Member, PA State AARP Long Term Care Committee

Our local newspaper recently carried a story titled Americans’ View: The Older You Are, the Older ‘Old’ Is. The point of the article was to demonstrate that as we age, our perception of what’s “old” changes. When you think about, that’s an idea that makes sense. When we are young, we see authority figures like teachers and parents as old. But for those of us who are members of the boomer generation or older, our views have certainly changed. For us, age is only a number and we’re only as old as we feel.

After all, the aging process does have its benefits. I find I learn something new every day and am far wiser and more experienced than ever before. Like many older adults, I still have much to look forward to, including retiring from my career and pursuing my own “what’s next”. A key element of my dreams is knowing that Social Security and Medicare will remain in place. Unfortunately, there is a possibility that those safety net programs that mean so much for so many will undergo significant changes if we do not do something right now!

Last month I wrote about the You’ve Earned a Say listening tour AARP is conducting throughout Pennsylvania and nationwide. I even enjoyed presenting the program to groups of older adults in our area. But there simply aren’t enough baby boomers paying attention to these important topics.

We all know that Social Security and Medicare need to be protected and strengthened. More importantly, we can’t continue allowing politicians in Washington to debate these issues behind closed doors. We need to give a voice to us and others who have a vital interest in the future of these programs as well as to those who earned their Medicare and Social Security benefits with a lifetime of hard work.

Any discussion about the future of Social Security and Medicare needs to be based on a clear understanding of the current status and future needs of these vital programs. It needs to recognize the critical role that Medicare and Social Security play in the health and financial security of older Americans. And it starts with the knowledge of how

changes would affect the health and financial security of older Americans—today and tomorrow.

To those of you who have already spoken up and shared your views on the future of Social Security and Medicare, I say thank you. For the rest, I recommend visiting www.aarp.org during May to learn more about You’ve Earned a Say, and make your voice heard. You can deliver your opinion online or over the phone by calling 1-877-926-8300. I can even help you schedule a listening session at your home with a few friends, at work, at your church-- anywhere people gather together.

Throughout the 60’s and 70’s, the boomer generation marched against the Vietnam War, for peace and for equal rights. Well we must join together to have our voices heard once again. Only this time we are fighting to secure our future and that for our children and grandchildren. If you think you don’t have the same energy as the days of protest marches, I suggest simply looking into the future and imagine a life without Social Security and Medicare. Now use that motivation to be sure your voice is heard in Washington. Let our representatives know that we have earned our say.

Happy Mother’s Day!

PHO11187 Allentown Lifestyle Ad For April 2011.indd 1 8/1/11 2:30 PM

Explorers and colonists around the world have named towns after the birthplace of Christ. We are familiar with the story of the Moravians and their founding of Bethlehem. Similarly, there is a city in northern Brazil named Belém, literally translated from Portugese means Bethlehem. Our local Bethlehem is the known as the Christmas city. Belém is the city of mango trees. The cities share little more than their name, and a man named Joe Negrao.

Joe Negrao was born in Belém to a middleclass family. His father was a businessman and gave his son an education to be a geological engineer. Seeking adventure and opportunity, at age 27 Joe left his native Brazil for America in 1963. He stayed his relatives and found a job bagging groceries and methodically worked hard pursing the American Dream eventually landing a job with a large shipping line, later a corporation setting up factories and eventually he struck out on his own starting a silk flower factory and wholesale and distribution operation for fresh flowers. Ever the opportunist, Joe grew interested in real estate and got into real estate development. He built shopping malls, apartments, storage

facilities and other commercial projects. Family was always important to Joe, and as his own family grew, he wanted a business where his children could be around. Joe decided to open a personal care home on 22nd Street in Allentown and named it after his daughter Alexandria.

Today Joe Negrao along with his son, Joe Jr., own and actively manage three Alexandria Manor locations in Bethlehem, Bath and Nazareth. “This is truly a family owned business,” Joe Jr. proudly tells me as we sit in one of the common area living rooms. “We live within 10 minutes of all of our locations and our families are actively involved and enjoy being with the residents. My father designed the buildings to have a family atmosphere.” At all Alexandria Manors, instead of having one large cafeteria, each floor and area of the building has its own cozy living room and dinning room for that area’s residents to give it more of a home-like feel. Many rooms even open into the common area for those residents who like to socialize or have difficulty with mobility.

For information about Alexandria Manor, visit alexandriamanor.com or call their locations for a tour. Bath: 610.837.3500. Bethlehem: 610.867.3060. Nazareth: 610.759.�060

1957 Ford Fairlane SkylinerThe Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner was a full-size

two-door automobile with a retractable hardtop.

The Skyliner had a complex mechanism which folded the front of the roof and retracted it under the rear decklid. It had three roof drive motors driving four lift jacks, four door-lock motors, ten solenoids, four locking mechanisms for the roof.

The large top took up vast amounts of trunk space, limiting the car’s sales.Production totaled 20,766 units in 1957.

An electric clock was standard. Fuel consumption was around 1� mpg overall. The fuel tank was placed behind the front seat, which added safety in rear collisions.

Definition of Personal Care Homes in Pennsylvania:“Personal Care Homes (PCH) are residential facilities that

offer personal care services, assistance and supervision to four or more persons who are not relatives of the operator. A PCH is not a nursing home and no skilled or intermediate care is offered or allowed.

Residents of a PCH need assistance or supervision in activities of daily living (e.g. dressing, bathing) or instrumental activities of daily living (e.g. laundry, cleaning). Personal Care Homes are required to hire staff who meet basic education requirements.

So what are some of things you should consider when reviewing a personal care facility?Licensing

All facilities providing personal care services must have valid licenses and permits. The permit and inspection report must be displayed in a conspicuous place on the premises. Safety

When visiting a facility, check the stairwells and hallways. It is important that they are well-lit and free of obstacles, such

as electrical cords, throw rugs, torn carpeting or cracked tiles. When touring rooms, check the bathrooms to ensure that there are grab bars next to bathtubs, showers and toilets. Cleanliness

Upon entering a facility, you should take note of the smells and sights you encounter, especially if the facility smells of urine or heavy room deodorant. Also, inspect window sills, counters, table tops and floors for dust and dirt. Kitchens and residents’ bathrooms must be kept clean. Meals

During your tour of a home, ask to see a copy of the planned menus. You will also want to ask whether there are menus to accommodate special diets. Medications

Be sure to ask who bears the responsibility for the initial acquisition and refilling of prescription medication. You will want to know who supervises the medication and whether medicines are kept in a secured place. Atmosphere

Residents will want to feel at home in a personal care facility, and pleasant surroundings help to achieve that. Flowers, pictures, seasonal decorations and general orderliness are all vital in providing a happy and comfortable environment for residents. Activities

Regularly scheduled activities with participation encouraged by staff members helps to boost morale and a sense of community within a personal care home. You may wish to inquire about the availability of religious services. Privacy and respect

During your visits to facilities, watch the staff members closely. By observing them, you will be able to get an idea of their attitudes towards their jobs and towards their residents. The actions of the staff reflect how the management or the administration feels about the resident.

Personal Care Homes in Lehigh Valley


I recently went to Newhard Pharmacy to find out this unique pharmacy. I met with Tracey Anderson, their DME/Medicare Billing Specialist and Debra Bachman the Front End Manager who gave me a tour of the pharmacy.

Newhard Pharmacy has been a household name in the Lehigh Valley with its roots dating back as far as 1895. This family business is owned by father and son, Jack and John Pavis. Located on Main Street in Northampton, on the outside it might appear to be an ordinary pharmacy, but once inside you will see how this independent pharmacy is so very different. With a staff of about 70 employees it provides comprehensive care for many Lehigh Valley residents.

There is an expansive list of services that Newhard Pharmacy provides besides prescription processing. This list includes Durable Medical Equipment (DME), immunizations, compounded prescriptions, and Long Term Care packaging.

In their newly renovated DME section they have certified fitters in the following areas: Jobst stockings, diabetic/therapeutic shoes (custom orthotics), FLA Braces, T.E.N.S. units, and Amoena mastectomy products. The range of mastectomy products that improve the quality of life for women include custom fitted recovery garments and LympheDivas.

Immunizations offered at any time include flu, pneumonia, shingles, chicken pox, TDap, Hepatitis, and Meningitis. Newhard Pharmacy is one of the few pharmacies in the area that can provide compounded medications for items that are not manufactured to include creams, ointments, oral liquid suspensions, and many pet medications.

Newhard Pharmacy also is different in one major aspect – they have a separate pharmacy that concentrates on Long Term Care. They fill, package and deliver medications throughout the Lehigh Valley to many senior adult facilities as well as to people in their homes.

There is an impressive quality control system where staff members analyze the prescription, pull the medication(s), blister pack pills into boards for easy dispensing by the

On Thursday, May 3rd, the public is invited to attend a program hosted by representatives from AARP Harrisburg. The program is called “You’ve Earned a Say”. It is being held in conjunction with the monthly meeting of the Allentown AARP Chapter #5�15 held in the Fellowship Meeting room of St. Timothy’s Church at 1�0 So. Ott St., Allentown.

For 75 years, millions of Americans have been able to count on Social Security to be there when they retire. But right now, members of Congress are about to recommend cuts to Social Security as part of a plan to reduce the deficit. Social Security doesn’t contribute to the deficit, and shouldn’t be cut to fix it.

AARP is fighting to protect Social Security and ensure that Washington doesn’t unfairly target cuts in benefits that today’s older Americans have earned over a lifetime of hard work and paid for out of their paycheck through the deduction taken with each paycheck.

In 2012, AARP aims to take the conversation about these

programs out from behind closed doors in Washington.

This month AARP has launched “You’ve Earned a Say”, an initiative that will allow members to share their ideas on how to strengthen Social Security and Medicare. Events are planned in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U. S. Virgin Island, and include surveys and debates.

Throughout Washington’s budget debate over the last year, AARP members and Americans 50-plus urged AARP to prevent cuts in Social Security and Medicare benefits.

People recognize that these programs need to be strengthened and are tired of politicians in Washington proposing cuts to Social Security and Medicare to close Washington’s budget gap.

Come to this very important meeting to be held in

If you’re a wine drinker you might be used to purchasing wine from areas like California, France or even Australia. But did you know that there are several wineries right in your own back yard here in Pennsylvania?

The Lehigh Valley Wine Trail is a non-profit organization of wineries whose mission is to promote agri-tourism and to create a premiere wine destination and grape growing region while promoting Pennsylvania wines from the region. All of the member wineries have won numerous awards at state, national and international levels. Its members include:

• Amoré Vineyards & Winery, Nazareth • Big Creek Vineyard and Winery, Kresgeville • Blue Mountain Vineyards, New Tripoli • Clover Hill Vineyards & Winery, Breinigsville • Franklin Hill Vineyards, Bangor • Galen Glen Vineyard & Winery, Andreas • Pinnacle Ridge, Kutztown • Vynecrest Winery, Breinigsville

The Lehigh Valley region is an official American

Viticultural Area as designated by the Federal Alcohol Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau in April 2008. The Lehigh Valley AVA includes portions of Lehigh, Northampton, Berks, Schuylkill, Carbon and Monroe counties in Pennsylvania. In order to receive the designation a least 85% of the grapes used to make local wines must be grown within the region. Wineries in the region are permitted to list “Lehigh Valley” as the growing region on their labels.

The region’s signature wine grape is the Chambourcin and is the only wine grape grown by all eight area wineries. In the greater Lehigh Valley, there are more than �0 acres of Chambourcin, which ferment into 150,000 bottles of wine. Chambourcin is very versatile in the wine cellar and the

Q&A with Big Creek Winery owner Dominic Strohlein.

What are the key characteristics of a good wine? A simple, hedonistic assessment is universal and the

most practical. The wine must make you smile. It should be pleasing to look at, pleasing to smell and pleasing to taste. Going even further I would say that the experience of choosing, and purchasing a wine must also be agreeable. Visiting local wineries is a great way to experience a good wine.

What makes the Lehigh Valley good for growing grapes? A combination of well drained soil and a cool, slow

ripening season go a long way to set the Lehigh Valley apart from other wine regions.

What can people expect to experience at a Lehigh Valley winery when they visit?

More often than not you will be interacting with someone having an intimate knowledge of the wines, how they are made, and the vineyard in which they grapes are grown. You do not have to know a lot about wine to get a lot out of the visit. We all love to talk about our wines.

Which wine do you most enjoy making and why?

In recent years we have been working with very aromatic Muscat varieties and it is a joy to work with grapes that smell so wonderful in the vineyard, the winery and the wine.

What is one common mistake home brewers make? Neglecting the importance of cleanliness. Keeping

everything scrupulously clean during all phases of the process is critical.

What best tip do you have for home winemakers? Read as much as you can, especially books like

“From Vines to Wines” by Jeff Cox. Use the web and get a group together to taste each other’s wines.
