He Helps the Community Learn to Walk Lighter on the PlanetBY JANICE DOYLE

What our grandparents used to do every day is now

referred to as “going green.” They recycled, reused, ran water care-fully, walked when they could and much more. What they did out of necessity, we now teach and learn. John Kiseda, Sustainability Coordinator for Lee County Parks and Recreation, says, “The hardest part is getting people to understand misconceptions. They think it’s too hard or too time consuming or expen-sive to be green. I encourage people to take little steps. It takes changing habits to do them today, to get the pattern of our grandparents back.” Four years ago at the Eco Living Center in Rutenberg Park in Ft. My-ers, Kiseda began what has become a very successful program which helps people feel comfortable asking ques-tions and having discussions about how they can help the environment.

Kiseda also realized folks wanted to learn but were “hesitant to walk into a new meeting on their own.” Some had questions but they didn’t know how to ask them or even who to ask. He decided to blend local entertainment with eco information and networking. He envisioned a time when folks would relax with music and sit with people who share environmental concerns and solutions. Today Mangrove Gathering Eco Café sessions gather dozens of people on the third Friday of every month in one of three locations around Lee County.

They come, bring their own mugs (or pay $1 for a throwaway cup), share snacks and desserts and recharge themselves. A local entertainer or group provides music for participants who sit at round tables. When the music stops for breaks, ev-eryone in the room has a chance to introduce themselves to the group. Some share information

about projects or make announcements of events. It’s a place to discover people who have answers to questions, express comments and opinions or check the wall calendar for upcoming environmental meetings and events. Environmental groups such as Audubon Society and Sierra Club are represented as well as those from green businesses or providers of natural health products. A wide variety of sustainable living groups or products such as solar energy are displayed, according to Kisela. The

Fair Trade Association provides coffee and tea. “Since it’s a community event we have a potlatch (sharing of foodstuffs) and a huge spread of shared foods,” says Kisela. Quarterly gatherings are now held at Rutenberg Park facility, at Rotary Park in Cape Coral and at the Calusa Nature Center and Planetarium. “We make it so that every ques-tion is important. People want to learn,” Kisela says. “It’s my job to work with the park staff and volunteers and the public to walk a little lighter on the planet.” To learn how you can walk lighter on the planet, gather from 7:30 to 10 p.m. Sept. 16 at the Eco Living Center at Rutenberg Park, 6490 South Pointe Blvd (between College Parkway & Cypress Lake Blvd) for the next Eco Café session. Don’t forget your mug or cup! For more information, call John Kiseda at (239) 432-2163 or e-mail [email protected].

Dear Readers,

Are you a high-tech grandparent? Do you

text and e-mail and order gifts online? Is Facebook part of your daily routine? If you’re “connected” this Grandparents Day, you may receive an eCard, a text message or a “Hey” on your Facebook page instead of a Hallmark card. Just as technology has changed, so has grandparenting. TV ads would have us think all interaction with grandchildren is fun and games. If grandpa gets his health in order, ac-cording to the ad, he can play on a sun-ny day with his small grandson. But we all know of families where being a grandparent is just plain difficult, often stretching into downright painful. Here are some of the grandparents whose stories have touched my heart in the past few years. All names have been changed.

Doris was sitting alone looking shell-shocked at a gathering after her 16-year-old grandson’s local funeral. He had died in a car accident, and she was enduring one of the three memorial services which would be held in three different states where he and his family had lived. I did not know her, but I went to sit beside her and hold her hand. She smiled weakly and said, “I didn’t know it was possible to hurt this much.”

Regina’s new grandparent status took a sudden turn when her grandson was diagnosed with autism before he was two. She said she felt a “double edged sword knowing what lies ahead for our family and grief for my daughter’s personal agony.”

Howard knew his daughter in New York City was high on drugs most of the time. On a visit there, he realized how bad the situation was for the children, ages 10, 12 and 16. The daughter, however, told a good story about changing her life and making it

all work out with a new boyfriend. Three months later, the 12-year-old called Howard to say they hadn’t had anything to eat for three days. When I met Howard, he had moved the children to central Florida to live with him. He admitted that his struggles were not like many grandparents raising grandchildren because he had enough money to care for them. Still,

at 81, he realized his limitations. “I’m giving it my all while I can,” he said. Two Saturdays every month, Jane (71) dresses to her usual impeccable standards for an outing with two grandsons. What she does those two Saturdays is not how she had anticipat-ed her role as a grandmother, however. She has custody of the two teenagers while her son—their father—is in prison in north Florida. On visitation days, they leave her elegant home early to be in line when the prison opens for visitors at 9 a.m. There is no slouching in Jane’s posture and a smile lights her face as she chats with other visitors and jokes with her grandsons as they wait. “It’s not what I thought I’d be doing, but I wouldn’t think of being anywhere else on those days. He’s my son and they’re his sons. It’s what families do,” she told me. (Of note: Estimates vary, but it is thought that at any one time 10 million children in the U.S. have a parent either in prison or on parole or probation. Just think of the number of grandparents affected.) I first met the Carters when they were camped at an RV park in Riverview. They were living in a small, aging RV as cheaply as it was possible to live. A year before, their daughter and son-in-law’s drug use was draining the couple’s financial, emotional and physical resources. Two grandchildren were pawns in the “game” the daughter played with the Carters to get money to buy drugs. Also involved were judges who wouldn’t give them custody. After trying everything possible to be able to raise the children without interference

from the addicted parents, Hazel and James made a heartrending decision to sell out and go “on the road” with the RV, away from their daughter. “We’ll go back when we can help the children pick up the pieces of their lives without the parents,” James said. Arthur, an Army retiree, has two grandsons serving in the Marines. Each grandson has been deployed to Iraq and/or Afghanistan three times. While attention is often given to spouses, children and parents of deployed soldiers, the part grandpar-ents play is often overlooked. Arthur knows the loneliness and dangers of deployment. He agonizes as he watches the news, sends the men e-mails and prays for their safe return. And so our staff honors all grandpar-ents this month. May we all continue doing whatever needs to be done for the good of our grandchildren (and great grandchildren) in the spirit noted by former New York City mayor Rudolph Giuliani: What children need most are the essentials that grandparents provide in abundance. They give unconditional love, kindness, patience, humor, comfort, lessons in life. And, most importantly, cookies. Keep on lovin’ . . . and maybe it’s time to bake some cookies!

Keeping Joe Cool: An Interview with Joe MontanaFour-time Super Bowl champion

Joe Montana is also known by the nickname Joe Cool for his steely grace under pressure. Even as a highly con-ditioned professional athlete, Joe became one of the 65 million people in the nation living with high blood pressure (HBP). Gary Barg, Editor of Caregiver.com, sat down with Joe and Dr. James Rippe, M.D., an associate professor of cardiovascular medi-cine at Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston, Massachusetts, and a leading author-ity on preventative cardiology, to discuss high blood pressure prevention techniques of importance to caregivers and loved ones alike.Gary Barg: Tell me about the BP Success Zone Campaign.

Dr. James Rippe: It’s a public educa-tion campaign. Joe and I have been to 30 cities trying to raise awareness about the dangers of high blood pressure and get more people’s high blood pressure into the Blood Pressure Success Zone. The great thing about having Joe as a partner is that people say, “He is a relatively young athlete with high blood pressure…maybe I could have it too.” We are trying to get people in a dialog with their doctor. That’s what this campaign is all about. For 90 percent of the people who have high blood pressure, we don’t know the cause. We know there are associations between being overweight and smoking cigarettes and being inactive. There is a hereditary component too, but 90 percent are of unknown origin.Gary Barg: So, depending on your situation, it could be genetics, it could be dieting, it could be exercise—we just don’t know.

Dr. James Rippe: We just know if you have hypertension and you are

overweight, are sedentary, smoke cigarettes, it’s dangerous. One of the reasons Joe Montana is such a won-derful spokesperson for this campaign

is he represents the absolutely classic case. He never smoked, was always fi t and was never overweight. There was a little heredity, but he’s like the 90 percent of people in that he just got it. One out of every three adults has it (65 million). There is a 10 percent increase in problems per decade. By the time you are 40, there is a 40 percent chance, by the time you are 50, there is a 50 percent chance of getting hypertension.

Gary Barg: Joe, since you didn’t have any symptoms, how did you fi nd out that you had high blood pressure?

Joe Montana: I went for a physical. I was doing my husbandly duty and was just trying to get in and out of the doctor’s offi ce so I could check that box for the year. I was perfectly fi ne. I went in there with the expectation I’d go through the motions and get out of there. When she told me my blood pressure was high, she sent me di-rectly to a cardiologist.Gary Barg: What was your blood pressure?

Joe Montana: It was over 140 over 90. That was way up from the year before. Gary Barg: What did they saycaused it?

Gary Barg’s note to caregivers: Pay attention to yourself and once you realize you are at risk for having high blood pressure, you have to moderate everything. Joe Montana concludes: Get the family involved. Remove the salt shaker from your side of the table. His wife reminds him to take his medicine. “Getting it under control is hard enough. Staying there is another issue.” Interview from Caregiver.com, editor Gary Barg. For more information, visit online at BPSuccessZone.com.

Tips for Maintaining

Blood Pressure Dr. Rippe’s guide for maintaining

healthy blood pressure:

• Pay attention to having fruits and vegetables and whole grains, and less

processed foods because there is salt in them. • Engage in regular physical activity.

• Know your reading (90% of us will get high blood pressure).

• Know that very good medicines are available.

• Keep your weight down.

• Try not to smoke.

Joe Montana: It was probably due to my cutting back on exercise from when I was on the team. And I was eating foods like steak and fried chicken. I knew my grandfather passed away when he was 54 from heart disease. So it could have been a combina-tion of a lot of things.Gary Barg: Are you on medication now?

Joe Montana: Yes. I am on a combination of medications. The key to the program is to consult with your doctor, to get proper exercise with your diet and also make sure you are on the right medication. Just because it’s right

with me, doesn’t mean it’s right with everyone else.

Gary Barg: Do you still have to watch what you eat even though you are on medications?

Joe Montana: Yes, one of the things that I have found is that I was eating a typical American diet where you eat a lot of food—and food that is not

good for you. I started by cutting back on portion size. In the past, I would rarely order fi sh in restaurants; now I fi nd

a lot of fi sh that I like. But it all started by cutting back

on things like steak and fried chicken. You fi nd that your taste

buds change eventually. I still have fried chicken on occasion, but I won’t eat that super size of chips. Now, I can just have a few, and I’m O.K.Gary Barg: What exactly is the

Blood Pressure Success Zone? Joe Montana: The success zone is when your blood pressure is

between 139 over 89 or below 120 over 80. So anything below that 139

over 89 is the goal you want to reach.

More Helpful Info: Joe Montana and Dr. James Rippe have collaborated on a book titled “Joe Montana’s Family Playbook for Managing High Blood Pressure,” which provides tips and anecdotes about living a heart-healthy lifestyle, a medication tracker, suggested heart-healthy meals and exercises you can easily fi t into your daily routine. Montana says, “Af-ter I was diagnosed with high blood pressure, my family and I really could have used a book like this. It is a great motivational and educational tool.” This book is available at amazon.com.

Wanna Hear from Your Grandkids? Text Them!BY EVELYN MACKEY

“It’s quick. It’s easy. They answer,” said

Ralph Johnson, talking about using text messag-es to stay in touch with his 14-year-old grand-daughter and 11-year-old grandson. Ruth and Nathan’s fam-ily spent the past year in a village in Honduras and texting is one way they kept in touch with their grandparents. TV star Doris Roberts once said that if she called her grandson and left a message, she never heard back from him. But if she sent him a text message, she got an instant answer. That’s very typical, according to “textpert” Drew Olanoff, market-ing manager for textPlus. Texting is both a noun and a verb, which means you both have it and do it. And if you’re a grandparent and wonder what’s happening to this younger generation, you might just want to spend time with your grandchild learning to text. Think about it. Even if Susie has her hands all over her fancy phone, it’s too embarrassing in today’s world to use the phone to call Grandpa. You can, however, focus on the fact that Susie has a communication tool and know that she’d love to text you. Olanoff asks, “Does it feel any less awesome if your grandchild says ‘I love you’ in text?” In May, textPlus (a free and unlimited texting app) crossed the 10 billion mes-sages-sent mark. When that company surveyed a segment of its users, they found that 81 percent of respondents’ grandparents are indeed “mobile” (i.e., they own a cell phone). They further found that among users ages 13 – 17, 24 percent prefer to text with their grandparents and 40 percent of grandchildren would like to use text to communicate with their grandparents. What’s going on here? According to Olanoff, kids are texting each other and they want to text everyone.

“Picking up the phone and having a conversation is like Kryptonite. They don’t want to touch it.” How do the kids think? Today’s kids think texting is practical. They’d say, “Hey, Nana, this is the way I like to talk.” No, it’s not

like being on the phone, but it creates the option of learning to text and saying, “Wow my grandchild texted me on his way home from school.” Olanoff (who texts his own grand-mother and then receives a phone call back from her) looks at it this way: “Communication is at the core. They want to communicate. We’re seeing a renaissance of communication and the tool being used is texting.” He likens texting to a game. It’s quick. You don’t have to stop and pick up the phone. “You text ‘Hi.’ They text ‘hi’ back to you.” Olanoff notes that a text conversa-tion is always ‘green,’ meaning it’s ongoing. “I never say goodbye in texting,” he says. It’s always there, an open line of communication and you can jump right in.” Kids like the lack of formal-ity, too. “Do you want to go to the movies tonight?” doesn’t have to be introduced by “Hi, how are you? Are you busy?” It’s not really something we’ve ever seen before. Although Olanoff is excited about those 10 billion messages sent, he realizes that everybody “loves to get a phone call, hear the voice.” But there is a place if you want to communicate with your grandchild that you won’t mind if it’s a text message. “Texting is hot now and kids are reaching out with it,” he says. He urges grandparents to understand that it’s communication, just in a differ-ent way: Focus on the interaction and communication rather than the delivery system, and you’ll stay connected. And besides, 54 percent of respondents in that survey consider grandparents who text to be cool.

Store liquidations usually begin rapidly so it’s often best to use up gift cards online, rather than wait until you have time to visit a retail store. 2. Research the bankruptcy status. Borders was refused bankruptcy, meaning they had no choice but to liquidate. Other retailers, however, filed for bankruptcy and turned things around. Sometimes a company that’s filed for Chapter 11 is allowed by the bankruptcy court to honor its gift cards. 3. Consider the company’s stability. Research their financial stability via such sites as BBB.com and Forbes Risk List. (Stores considered at-risk by

Forbes presentlyinclude Rite Aid and Zales.) Also, ScripSmart.com regularly updates

its list of “Gift Cards to Avoid.”

4. Use it or sell it. If you’ve received a gift card for a merchant you wouldn’t frequent, you can exchange gift cards for cash on such sites as GiftCardGranny.com and receive up to 95 percent of the card’s value in cash.

5. Use a credit card. If you’re concerned about a retailer’s financial stability but still want to buy a gift card, do so using a credit instead of a debit card. You can then ask the card issuer to withhold payment until you’re sure of the merchant’s status.

Free Long-Term Care Planning Guide For Women

Long-term care affects more women than men, yet few women have done

anything to learn about their risks or planning options. Women generally live longer lives than men and, as a result, are significantly more likely to need long-term care. Women are far more likely to suffer from Alzheimer’s disease and almost one million women over age 65 currently reside in nursing home settings versus 335,000 men.“Long-term care is clearly a woman’s issue”, explains Joseph Ferrara, President of Joseph Ferrara Insurance Services located in Ft. Myers. “Women provide the majority of care for their spouses or other aging family members, and because they live longer than men are far more likely to eventually need long-term care themselves”. Planning for long-term care is important for women who are married, living with partners or residing alone. According to a study by the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance (AALTCI),

the majority of women over 50 under- estimate the risk of needing long-term care and have no plan in place. The organization reports that roughly two-thirds of the $6 billion in yearly long-term care insurance claims benefits are paid to women. Every woman over 50 needs to have a plan in place, Ferrara explains. The best time to start is prior to retirement when you have the greatest number of available options to choose from. A free copy of A Woman’s Guide To Long-Term Care Insurance Protection published by AALTCI can be obtained by contacting:

Physician VolunteerismBY JULIE RAMIREZ, Health and Wellness Director, Senior Friendship Centers

Most of us dream of the day when we retire and live the “good life”

after years of hard working. But what happens after the novelty of retire-ment wears off? What do you do with your time then? You can volunteer! The Lee County Senior Friendship Centers Health and Wellness Clinic is the perfect place to volunteer if you are a retired nurse or physician. Just a couple hours a month makes a huge difference in the health and lives of our seniors here in Lee County. Our clinic was designed to help seniors ages 50 – 64 who are without insur-ance and have limited incomes. Last year, Senior Friendship Centers with the assistance of our two volunteer physicians, both gynecologists, saw 120 patients. Three of these patients were diagnosed with breast cancer and were placed on treatment plans paid for by emergency Medicaid. These patients were able to be seen in a timely manner, saving valuable time, money and possibly even their lives. We could not see these patients without our volunteer physicians. Our two volunteer physicians are Dr. Marilyn Young and Dr. Francis Howington. Dr. Young retired in 1999 after 15 years of private practice here in Lee County. Eager to still use her skills in the community, she joined Senior Friendship Centers Health and Wellness Center in 2008. After three years of vol-unteering at Senior Friendship Centers and seeing the growth of this clinic, Dr. Young invited former colleague Dr. Howington to join the team. Dr. How-ington has been a prominent presence in Lee County since August 1968. He owned and ran his own successful OB/GYN practice until April 1, 2000 when he retired. Dr. Howington has been with Senior Friendship Centers since September 2010. We thank these two physicians and their willingness to vol-unteer and help our senior community. We would love to have additional physicians join our team and expand the services that we provide to seniors. Every physician is given sovereign

immunity from the Lee County Health Department. Our hours of seeing patients revolve around our physicians and the times that they have avail-able. We see patients at two different clinics. Our main clinic is located at Hatton Rogers Retirement Community in North Fort Myers in partnership with Goodwill and United Way. Our secondary clinic is located at the Lee Memorial Clinic at the Dunbar United Way House, in which we share clinic space with Lee Memorial once a month. We will also have clinic space at the Cape Coral Kiwanis Club off of Santa Barbara Blvd. starting in early 2012. In addition to the need of retired physi-cians, we also have need of assistance of actively practicing physicians that would be willing to see one or two pro bono cases. Some ailments are beyond the guidelines set forth by our grants, but are still in need of further care. If you would like to volunteer or have further questions, please call Julie Ramirez at 239-656-0221 or e-mail [email protected].


BY JERRY RICKER

Abraham Lincoln said: “ Most folks are about as happy as

they make up their minds to be.”That’s positive thinking—anoptimistic attitude. Positive psychology is different. Positive psychology, championed by psychologist Martin Seligman and others, is a research-based study of our psychological well-being. Seligman suggests there are three approaches to happiness itself. In other words, there are many ways to be happy, but each comes under one of three basic approaches. John Nelson and Richard N. Bolles discuss the three approaches as very important in living the retire-ment life in their book What Color Is Your Parachute? For Retirement.

Pleasure This involves having fun in an easy, relaxed way. Pleasure brings a burst of positive emotions which come and go quickly and seldom last long. Us-ing this approach to happiness, you need to keep going back and doing enjoyable activities over and over again to get more happiness.

Engagement or involvement Another word for this approach is “flow,” which happens when your abilities are well matched to some challenging task. It’s the kind of task you get so deeply involved in that you lose track of time. You’re so engaged in it that you lose yourself in what you’re doing, often not realizing that you’re genuinely happy while you’re doing it, but afterwards you say, “That was great!”

Engagement demands something from you, so it’s not as simple as pleasure. It can’t be bought or con-sumed the way pleasure can, either. The authors point out that another difference between pleasure and engagement is that engagement sticks with you longer than pleasure does and can build up into a lasting satisfaction with life. Contrary to the “go with the flow” approach to life, however, engagement is more like “make the flow.” It’s the difference between enjoying a baseball game and becoming a part of a team.

Meaning or purpose This approach to happiness is not as easy to pin down. The way you get meaning or purpose is to use your abilities in the service of something larger than yourself. This approach to happiness requires something of you and doesn’t come just from believing in a cause larger than yourself, but from being in service to that cause.

This is part of living your life in alignment with your core values. Examples of what is larger than yourself depend on your belief system. It could be God, family, environment, a political party, a particular culture. You might find purpose in service to a neighbor who needs help, a child with difficulties or even a cause such as litter-free neighborhood walkways. And this approach to life is more than contributing money to a cause.

Summary In the first level you are dealing with your interests. When you move to engagement, you’re looking at your skills and strengths and using them to experience engage-ment in an interest. But the next level—meaning or purpose—is most closely related to your values. “What Color Is Your Parachute? For Retirement: Planning a Prosperous, Healthy and Happy Future” by John E. Nelson and Richard N. Bolles.

Think You Are Too Young for Long-Term Care Insurance?

BY ROSEMARIE HURLEY, CSALong-Term Care Insurance Specialist

I am often asked “What is the right age to consider Long-Term Care insur-

ance?” My answer hasn’t changed: As young as possible. Actually, age 40 and up is best…but if you haven’t looked into this before now and you are over 40, 50 is better than 60 and 60 is better than 70. Since the premiums for Long-Term Care insurance are based on your age and also your current health, the younger and—even more importantly—the healthier you are, the better. Sometimes I hear from potential clients who ask me, “wouldn’t it be better to wait until I am older and closer to needing this benefi t?” I answer, unequivocally…no! When you postpone looking into LTC insurance you are risking two things. One: you may not qualify. In other words, some health event may happen that precludes you from qualifying. Secondly, it will always cost more if you wait. The premium difference between buying at a younger age and waiting until you think you are closer to using it can be signifi cant—in some cases, as much as $100 to $200 per month difference. The Waiver of Premium benefi t on every Long-Term Care policy sold balances out the total premiums paid into the policy be-fore you have a claim. If you are younger, the premiums are much less. This makes perfect sense, because the companies are expecting actuarially that you will pay premiums longer than a person who is, let’s say, 10 years older. But paying a premium longer does not mean you are paying more premiums. That’s where the substantially lower premium comes in.

How you qualify for benefi ts is the same for all companies offering a Long-Term Care policy. And although we buy LTC insurance with our older age in mind, it is possible that an accident or injury can generate a claim well before we are in a retirement mode. There are basically two ways to generate a claim. One is the inability to perform two of six Activities of Daily Living. The Activities of Daily Living (A.D.L.s) are as follows: Eating, Dressing, Bathing, Continence, Toileting and Transferring. Since companies measure functionality, if you are unable to perform two of these six ADLs, you qualify for a LTC claim. Your diagnosis is not important…just your inability to take care of yourself. The second way to qualify for benefi ts is called Cognitive Impairment. In simpler terms: senility, dementia, Alzheimer’s or a mental disease connected with aging. These two ways to qualify for benefi ts are mutually exclusive—you need only to meet one of the above two conditions. Planning for the future requires being ed-ucated about potential pitfalls. The articles I have written each month for the past 7 years are meant to be helpful in educating you about how to protect your fi nancial future. And, as I always say, having a plan in place guarantees you can enjoy a pleasant future without fi nancial concerns.

The Truth About Cataracts and Vision LossBY JONATHAN M. FRANTZ, M.D., FACSFrantz Cataract Center at Florida Eye Health

More than 20.5 mil-lion Americans

age 40 and older have cataracts, the clouding of the eye’s normally clear lens, blocking the passage of light needed for vision. Today cataract surgery is one of the saf-est and most successful procedures available in terms of restoring your quality of life. No drugs or exercises will make a cataract disappear. During outpatient cataract surgery the cloudy natural lens is replaced with an artificial lens to give the eye proper focusing power. You may have a cataract if you notice a gradual painless blurring of vision, double vision in one eye, fading or yellowing of colors, sensitivity to glare and/or bright light or trouble driving at night, or if you need fre-

quent changes to your glasses or con-tact lens prescriptions. The best time

to have a cataract removed is when it starts to interfere with the things you like to do. We offer free cataract evaluations in all five of our locations for new patients 55 and older performed by our optometrists. We also host free cataract seminars throughout the year to help people learn more about cataracts. A schedule of semi-nars is posted on our website www.bettervision.net.

Dr. Frantz and his medical team offer a broad spectrum of patient-focused comprehensive care from eye exams and eyewear to cataract removal, glaucoma care, 100 percent blade-free iLASIK, hearing services, and eyelid surgery with office locations in Fort Myers, Naples, Cape Coral, Punta Gorda, and Lehigh Acres.

Joy? In the Shadow of Dementia?After witnessing her

father’s decline and struggle with vascular dementia and Alzheimer’s, Susan Garbett became passionate about understanding this disease and the dev-astating toll it has on caregivers and families. This passion led her to become a volunteer support group facilita-tor for the Alzheimer’s Association, Florida Gulf Coast Chapter and to write Susie and Me Days: Joy in the Shadow of Dementia. Dementia, with Alzheimer’s disease being the most common form, is an illness that is ravaging the senior population and places an enormous burden on our present and future generations. Neurologist, Richard Mayeux, M.D. of New York’s Colum-bia University, best summed up what our country is facing when he said,

“We have a tsunami coming at us, and we’re sitting in a rowboat.” It’s a subject that most people don’t want to face or talk about, especially baby-boomers. But it’s real, it’s “now,” and by 2050 it is predicted that 13.5

million Americans will have the disease. Susie and Me Days describes the unex-pected gifts caregiv-ers can receive if they have the capacity to let go of negative thinking about what

once was, or what could have been, in order to embrace what is happening right now “in the moment.” By enter-ing their world, caregivers have the opportunity to create gratifying expe-riences for and with their loved ones. Susie and Me Days is a candid, inti-mate, insightful account that brings to life the relationship between a father and daughter as they journey through the murky haze of dementia.

Does Sex Help or Hurt the Heart As We Age?Is sex a form of exercise that can

keep us healthy or a threat to those with heart disease? The June issue of the Harvard Men’s Health Watch reviews research on the con-nection between sex and health. According to one study, sex doesn’t count as heart-protective exercise. This research monitored middle-aged male and female volunteers while they walked on a treadmill in the lab and during private sexual activity at home. The two are not equal—the treadmill proved more strenuous. During sex, the men raised their heart rates only 72 percent as high as they did on the treadmill. Sex was even less strenuous for women in terms of heart rate, blood pressure and perceived exertion. All in all, average sexual activity ranks as mild to moderate in terms of exercise intensity. But if sex can’t protect the heart, can it hurt it? Careful studies show

that fewer than one of every 100 heart attacks is related to sexual activity, and for fatal arrhythmias the rate is just one in 200. So for a healthy 50-year-old man, the risk of having a heart attack in any given hour is about one in a million; sex doubles the risk, but it’s still just two in a million. For men with heart disease, the risk is 10 times higher, but even for them, the chance of suffering a heart attack during sex is just 20 in a million, which are pretty safe odds. The best way to stay healthy and protect cardiovascular health is to avoid tobacco, exercise regularly, eat a good diet, stay lean and limit alcohol. Do not initiate sexual activ-ity if you are not feeling well, and anyone experiencing possible cardiac symptoms during sex should interrupt the sexual activity at once. With these simple guidelines and precautions, sex is safe for the heart.

The Healthy GeezerBY FRED CICETTI

Q:

A: Yes, men do get osteoporosis, but women are at greater risk. Osteoporosis, or porous bone, is a disease characterized by low bone mass and structural deterioration of bone tissue. This condition creates an increased risk of fractures. Osteoporosis is a major public health threat for 44 million Americans; about 68 percent of them are women. One out of every two women and one in four men over 50 will have an osteopo-rosis-related fracture in their lifetime. Our bodies remove old bone and replace it with new bone. During our growth stage, new bone is added faster than old bone is removed. We hit peak bone mass around age 30. After that age, we lose more bone than we form.

Who is at risk of getting osteoporosis? The chances are greater if you are a woman. Women have less bone tissue and lose bone faster than men because of changes from menopause. Small, thin-boned women are at greater risk. Caucasian and Asian women are at highest risk. Age is a major risk factor because bones become thinner and weaker as you age. Heredity can also increase fracture risk. Low calcium intake appears to be associated with bone loss. Good sources of calcium include low-fat dairy products, dark-green leafy vegetables, almonds and foods fortified with calcium, such as orange juice. Some people may need to take a calcium supplement. Vitamin D plays an important role in calcium absorption and in bone health. It is made in the skin through exposure to sunlight. Vitamin D production decreases in the elderly, in people who are housebound and for people in general during the winter. Depending on your situation, you may need to take vitamin D supplements. Bone responds to exercise by becoming stronger. Weight-bearing exercise is the best for your bones. Get off the sofa.

Women who smoke have lower levels of estrogen compared to nonsmokers, and they often go through menopause earlier. Smokers also may absorb less calcium from their diets. Quit. Regular consumption of 2 to 3 ounces a day of alcohol may be damaging to the skeleton. Heavy drinkers are more prone to bone loss and fractures, because of poor nutrition and increased risk of fall-ing. Quit or, at least, cut down. People may not know they have osteoporosis until their bones become so weak that a bump or fall causes a hip to fracture or a vertebra to col-lapse. See your doctor for a check-up. Following a comprehensive medical assessment, your doctor may recom-mend that you have your bone mass measured. A bone mineral density (BMD) test is the best way to deter-mine your bone health. BMD tests can identify osteoporosis, determine your risk for fractures and measure your re-sponse to osteoporosis treatment. The most widely recognized bone mineral density test is called a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry or DXA test. A comprehensive osteoporosis treatment program includes a focus on proper nutrition, exercise and safety issues to prevent falls that may result in fractures. In addition, your physician may prescribe a medication to slow or stop bone loss, increase bone density and reduce fracture risk.

Do men get osteoporosis?


Roanoke—“It’s a Blue Ridge Day!”

BY JANICE DOYLE

“It’s a Blue Ridge Day.” That means

the temperature’s perfect, the sky’s blue and all’s right with the world. It must mean I’m in Roanoke, Virginia, right there on the Blue Ridge Parkway. What’s the buzz about Roanoke? In the Spotlight You! Let your family know they can see you on their computers when you’re in front of the web cam located at The Roanoke Star and Overlook on Mill Mountain. You’ll go there for a bird’s eye view of the city and then you’ll call them to say you’re waving at them. The Star was built in 1949 to encourage Christmas shopping and just stayed on to become a theme for “Roanoke, the Star City.” While you’re on Mill Mountain, visit the gardens, the Discovery Center and the little zoo.

Hot Ticket! Take me out to the Salem Red Sox Class A Minor League professional baseball team. It’s a

Boston Red Sox affi liate and the beautiful stadium is simply a great place for an evening of fun.

Eat Well When in Roanoke, eat like a Southern native—that means as directly from farm to table as possible. Visit the downtown Roanoke City Market for food, shops and restaurants too. The Local Roots restaurant features changing seasonal menus. Beverages tend to go native as well, com-ing from “small batch,

family-owned, rare, and unique purveyors.” For quality steak dinner, nothing beats NFL Hall of Fame coach Don Shula’s 347 Grill in the Sheraton Roanoke Hotel—delicious fi let mignon and the best cheesecake in town.

The Local Gem! I found several gems in Roanoke, but none more visually stunning and values-impressive than the Taubman Museum of Art. It’s a downtown architectural wonder which is “an abstract sculpture of the Blue Ridge.” Outside design elements relate to the surrounding mountains and inside design elements refl ect the rivers of the area in the rounded walls and meandering overhead designs. This gem of a museum has nine galleries and impressive works throughout. It’s free from 5 to 9 on Friday nights. However, regular

senior admission is just $6—one more reason it’s impressive.

All Aboard Roanoke was a railroad hub for decades and today it holds the best railroad collection in the U.S. The town’s sidewalks become a Rail Walk leading via signage through history and into the Virginia Museum of Transportation. Located in the historic Norfolk & Western Railway Freight Station, there are 50 pieces of rolling metal and a huge collection that includes automotive (a 1913 Detroit Electric car), aviation, transit and more. Nearby, the old Roanoke Hotel exudes the rich heritage of a grand hotel built to house the guests who enjoyed new and luxurious transporta-tion of the 1800s. You can relax in the lobby while looking at the hotel’s history in photos, stay in one of the 300+ guest rooms or enjoy a fabulous meal right in downtown Roanoke. A movie across the street at the Winston Link Museum tells how

Link the photographer used lights and cameras and trains as he documented the last days of the steam locomotive—pictures that we recognize from ads and commercials of a bygone era. In the Bag Among the city’s unique shops is

chocolatepaper, featuring all things chocolate. If you’re a treasure hunter, visit Black Dog Salvage for 40,000 square feet of architectural treasures (old church windows, etc.), antique designs like mantels and wrought iron works, furniture and much more.Hit the Trail, Jack Pick a trail, any trail. In Roanoke, you’re just

minutes from the famous Appalachian Trail. If hiking isn’t your thing, drive the

Crooked Road Virginia Heritage Music Trail. It will lead you by way of numerous studios, galleries and shops to the Blue Ridge Institute and Museum of Ferrum College. Check the trails out when they all lead to the Folklife Festival at Ferrum College the fourth Saturday of October. The Sweet Spot The area’s best-kept secret is Home-stead Creamery, an old fashioned family-owned dairy and produce hot spot. Treat yourself to yummy sandwiches, soups and ice cream made right next door. Table for Two… or more. Information at visitroanoke.com.

Blue Ridge Parkway or Skyline Drive? The answer is that the Skyline Drive is the 105-mile-long roadway through Shenandoah National Park, a traditional national park. There are six entry points and an entrance fee to visit Shenandoah NP.

The Blue Ridge Parkway, also a unit of the National Park System, is a land-scaped corridor with a few areas of large acreage, designed as a recreational motor road connecting Great Smoky Mountains and Shenandoah National Parks. So, one is a drive through a traditional park and one is a roadway only.

Krispy Kreme With Minimum GuiltHow can you enjoy a stop at a

Krispy Kreme and not break the calorie bank? You almost can’t, but you can make some choices. Here’s a hint: Cinnamon’s your answer. Not one of Krispy Kreme’s cinnamon-flavored creations has more than 290 calories. Example: The Cinnamon Apple Filled has 290 calories (14 sugars) and the Glazed Cinnamon Doughnut has 210 calories (12 sugars). To go with that, enjoy a 20 oz. Orange You Glad Chiller (300 calories) instead of the Lotta Latte Chiller at 1,050 calories (and 97g sugars). Avoid the Apple Fritter like the plague. It weighs about the same as the Cin-namon Apple but is frosted to be called the “worst item on the menu” because of the high satu-rated fat content.

Here’s a doughnut decoder: Original and Sugar Doughnut –200 calories, 12g fat.Cake Doughnut – 210 to 290calories, 16g fat.Iced (but not filled) Doughnut – 240 to 280 calories, 14g fat.Filled Doughnut – 290 to 350calories, 20g fat.

So, what’s left to enjoy? Well, pick up a serving of Glazed Chocolate

Veterans CornerMembership Has Its (Veterans) BenefitsMembership in the U.S. Armed

Services has its benefits. Even if you served as a young man, you can be a member with benefits in yoursenior years. There are 23 million American Vet-erans in the U.S. today. Eight million of them receive VA benefits, yet many veterans never apply for the benefits they have both earned and deserve. Some don’t know they are eligible. Others fear the daunting process of ap-plying and qualifying for the benefits. Some of the benefits availableinclude the following:Prescription Drugs: All drugs are free with an $8 co-pay, depending on income, often eliminating the need for a Part D coverage plan. Veterans receiving pensions are fully exempt from co-pays for VA health services, including prescriptions.Nursing Home Care: The VA contracts with over 2,500 privately owned and operated nursing homes complementing the 132 they own themselves. Congress has ordered the VA to find a place for all veterans with a 70 percent or higher disability rating. Lower-rating veterans are also eligible but will be placed on a wait-ing list in areas where beds are scarce.In-Home Care: Veterans who need in-home care and meet the income means test can receive limited home-making services and assistance and basic home health needs, to be provided by service companies contracted by the VA. Single veterans with income above $29,402 (and $32,285 for married) might have to pay a co-pay of $15 for a provided medical services visit. Respite Care can also be provided to allow a family caregiver some time off, with co-pays from $0 to$90 per day, depending on incomequalification.Health Care Benefits: The VA pro-vides extensive health care, including surgery and in-patient care at its 1,400

clinics, hospitals and care centers. Ex-cept in the case of service-connected disabilities, eligibility is based on an income-qualifying test. Single veterans cannot have income exceed-ing $32,342 ($38,812 for married), but adjustments are allowed for residing in higher-cost parts of the U.S., using a Geographic Means Test from HUD. Disability Compensation: Formerly, VA disability comp. examiners were encouraged to reject all but the most obvious and extreme cases involv-ing specifically service-connected disabilities. In a new view, a service-related disability does not have to be an injury received in combat. Injuries that occurred or were aggravated while serving in uniform are worthy of consideration. Since disability comp. payments are unrelated to current income, they are available to a surviving spouse at a reduced level, based on the degree of disability. Disability degree can range from 10 percent to 100 percent as determined by a VA doctor and subject to appeal. VA Guaranteed Mortgages: If you’re an older veteran wanting to buy a senior-housing complex unit, eligibility determination is very gracious. SSI and food stamps are not counted as income, homes and cars are not counted as assets and household savings and investments up to $80,000 are allowed and still allow pension and health care benefit. Because the VA’s goal is to keep people in their own homes and out of institutions, there is no “look-back” period for giving assets to relatives.

Help! My Son Moved Back Home In the book, How to Raise Adult

Children, Gail Parent and Susan Ende, M.F.T. tackle all sorts of issues that affect every family with adult children. Here’s one letter and answer:

Dear Gail and Susan, My son Eric was living with us for a little while after college. He finally got a good job and moved into his own apartment. That was two and a half years ago. He just lost that job and has moved back in with us. He’s de-pressed. How can I help him? —Robin

Dear Super Mom? If you, Robin, can get Eric out of his depression, someone should hand you a psychology degree immediately. He needs therapy. But until you get him to a doctor’s office, what you can do is help him get his work situation under

control. I know he knows what to do, but . . . remind him gently. It means sending out resumes, networking at LinkedIn and going on Yahoo Jobs and other job search web-sites. Remind him it’s not a one-time thing. It has to be done every day. At least he’ll be pro-active and not feel that he can’t do anything about his situation. We get depressed when our kids get depressed. Try to smile for his sake. Also, remind him that he’s not alone and that this is a difficult time to find work and others are in the exact same situation he is. —Gail (who told her sons if they ever need to, they can move back in with her). Sometimes a safety net becomes a trap. Moving in with parents can

sometimes make the problem for our child worse. Eric not only lost his job but he also lost his apartment, his independence, his adult identity. No wonder he’s depressed. He thought he was launched and now he’s right back where he started—at

home with Mom and Dad. Moving in with parents should not be the only option if a kid gets in trouble. It’s often not the best option. But here Eric is home and depressed. I agree with Gail, that he should be looking for a job, every day in any way he can. However—and here’s where parents have to take charge— Eric should not be allowed to give up his life and become a catered-to, dependent invalid who can do nothing but look for a job.

There should be conditions for his room and board. For instance, he could be in charge of all the grocery shopping, the gardening, taking younger kids to school, all of which gets him into the world with people and making an adult contribution. The more his parents treat him like an invalid, the more helpless and depressed he will become. I strongly recommend that parents and child have a plan for losing a job that does not require that the kid move back home. How about three months expenses in savings, unem-ployment insurance, moving in with roommates and getting a temporary job to make ends meet? Life brings challenges we have to cope with. Going back to Mom and Dad should not be a child’s only coping tool. Certainly, if Eric is too depressed to do any of the above, he should be seen by a doctor for medica-tion and therapy. —Susan
