Thursday, October 29, 3–7 p.m.Citing the fact that it is now “bigger and

better than ever,” Mary Homan, SourcePoint’s community events specialist, said the former Senior Health and Safety Day has morphed into the Health and Wellness Expo. This year’s expo will take place from 3 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, October 29 at SourcePoint.

“We’ll have free flu shots, more than 20 different types of free health screenings, healthy snacks, and door prizes, and a new group of care-giver-focused exhibitors,” Homan said. “And we’re having the event later in the day, which hopefully will give us a wider spectrum of at-tendees by allowing more people to stop in after work.”

Homan said in previous years, potential Health and Safety Day ex-hibitors were chosen on a first-come, first-served basis. This year, po-tential vendors were asked to submit applications by the end of July.

The October event will also feature demos of fitness and wellness activities available at SourcePoint, such as chair yoga and Zumba®. The planning committee has made a special effort to include a va-riety of alternative medical practitioners for disciplines such as acu-puncture, Reiki, and massage therapy.

Last year’s event had close to 200 attendees, according to Homan, and she said she hopes having the expanded hours this year will push that number well beyond 200. There is free admission to the expo, and no pre-registration is needed. Homan said additional details will be available on the SourcePoint website in mid-September.FALL’S FAB FIVE CONTINUES ON PAGE 22...

Financially speaking, the terms “saving” and “investing” are often used interchangeably. But the concepts behind these terms actually have some important differences, and understanding these differences is im-portant in working toward financial goals for you and your family.

Saving. You may want to set aside money for a specific, identifiable ex-pense. You park this money someplace safe and liquid so you can get the amount you want when you need it. Savings products include savings accounts, checking accounts, and certificates of deposit. Some deposits may be insured and savings instruments generally earn interest. Howev-er, the tradeoff for liquidity and security is typically lower returns.

Investing. While a return of your money may be important, your goal might be to realize a return on your money. Using your money to buy as-sets with the hope of receiving a profit or gain is generally referred to as investing. Think of investing as putting your money to work for you—in return for a potentially higher return, you accept a greater degree of risk. With investing, you don’t know whether or when you’ll realize a gain. The money you invest usually is not federally insured. Investing involves risk and you could lose the amount you’ve invested, but you also have the op-portunity to earn more money compared to typical savings vehicles. An investment is often held for a longer period of time to allow for growth.

What’s the difference? It is important to understand how “saving” or “investing” concepts fit into your financial strategy. Funds for short-term financial goals (e.g., a near-term major purchase, cash reserve, vacation funds) should be held in savings. But saving is not the answer for lon-ger-term goals. For one reason, while your savings balance may be stable, it might be losing purchasing power because of inflation. This is particu-larly apparent in the current low interest rate environment, which could continue well into the future. So for long-term goals, you should choose investments to try to accumulate enough to pay for large expenses such

as your child’s college or your retirement.Rule of 72 – A Handy Rule. Divide your investment return by 72 and

that is how long it takes for your money to double. The rule assumes that all investment return is reinvested. With a savings rate of 1%, it takes 72 years to double (72/1). With an investment return of 6%, it takes 12 years to double (72/6).

Why is it important? Both saving and investing have a role in your overall financial strategy. The key is to balance your saving and invest-ing with your short- and long-term goals and objectives. Overemphasize saving and you might not achieve the return you need to pursue your long-term goals. Ignore saving and you increase the risk of not being able to meet your short-term objectives and expenses. Get it right and you increase your chances of staying on plan.

Saving or Investing: Is There a Difference?

conform to Grady Memorial’s processes, standards, and culture. Any conversion to electronic records is a huge change, but we have

had a seamless transition at Grady Memorial, where we have been per-forming some electronic functions, such as physician order entry, for at least two years. As such, our learning curve was not as steep as that of other OhioHealth care sites. All of our physicians and associates have been thoroughly trained and we were ready to “go live” before our scheduled date.

Our system-wide installation has allowed us to standardize practices throughout OhioHealth care sites, meaning that no matter where you receive your care — at OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital, Ohio-Health Doctors Hospital, Grady Memorial, etc. — you will receive the same expert and efficient treatment.

My COMMUNICATOR 5Health & Wellness

Better, faster, and safer care with lower costs — those are the benefits of OhioHealth’s new integrated Electronic Health Records system that was activated August 9 at OhioHealth Grady Memorial Hospital.

The new system allows the instant exchange of accurate information among our caregivers and care sites, and makes it easier for our patients to access their medical information and communicate with their health-care providers.

In short, it will make your healthcare experience more timely, conve-nient, and more patient friendly.

The system replaces manual record-keeping on paper, enabling our physicians and nurses to have patient histories, test results, and other information needed for clinical decision-making at their fingertips on computers, no matter where they are.

No longer will we need to spend valuable time searching for charts, lab slips, and other reports, or trying to clarify difficult-to-read handwrit-ten orders. Missing, misplaced, or difficult-to-retrieve paper charts can cause unnecessary delays in treatment and incomplete information.

Our system also has built-in “alerts” to improve safety and performs administrative functions such as scheduling, registration, and billing for the convenience of our patients and associates.

One of the great benefits of Electronic Health Records for OhioHealth patients is access to OhioHealth’s MyChart function, an online portal that gives you immediate access to portions of your medical record. OhioHealth patients can sign on through the Internet with your self-cre-ated user name and password to do the following:

• Review and request medical records• View test results• Request prescription renewals• Access educational resources• Communicate with your medical team via email• Pay bills

Giving patients better access to their medical records empowers them to become partners with their caregivers and better manage their healthcare. Studies have shown that patients actively involved in their care have better outcomes.

Now this is not a one-size-fits-all system. With input from our physi-cians, nurses, other caregivers, and associates, it has been customized to

steer the conversation back to your skills and experience, and es-tablish how you will meet their needs.

• When preparing for an interview: practice, practice, practice! The more you talk with strangers, the more you will be at ease. Job fairs can be frustrating; however, they are the perfect venue to provide valuable networking and vital interviewing practice. Prepare for the event by researching the employers and practicing your interview-ing techniques.

• After the interview, do your follow-up immediately. Remind the em-ployer of your experience, accomplishments, interest in their orga-nization, and that you are the candidate committed to their organi-zation!

Following each of these points will keep your job search under control. Success is right around the corner; you are ready to discover your next great adventure!

Workshops will be held at the Delaware County District Library Orange Branch (7171 Gooding Blvd., Delaware). Call Employment For Seniors at (614) 863-1219 to register for one of the following sessions, which in-cludes both a Job Search Strategies and LinkedIn workshop:

My COMMUNICATOREmployment for Seniors6

Dr. Carol A. Ventresca, Executive DirectorEmployment For Seniors

Searching for employment can bring great satisfaction or constant frustration. Do you spend hours searching classified ads or sitting in front of your computer with no positive results? Do you think employers ignore your application because you are “too old” or “too experienced?” Let me challenge you to take control of your job search. These steps will guide you through a successful job search:

• Determine the type of position you want: full-time, part-time, loca-tion, etc. Know the commitments that may impact your search.

• Understand the value you bring to an employer. Identify your strengths, experiences, and accomplishments from previous jobs; be ready to give examples and tell your “work story.”

• Look for community resources such as Employment For Seniors—we are ready to help in your quest for work. The EFS website at www.employseniors.org provides career information and job post-ings. Check the upcoming autumn workshop series to assist in de-veloping your job search plan.

• Recognize that your skills may need updating or that additional ex-perience is needed. You must be ready to do the job on day one. Locations to update your skills include the local library, community center, community college, or nonprofit agency. Additional training will demonstrate that you are committed to being the most quali-fied candidate.

• Employers want employees who bring value to their company. They need staff with a strong work ethic who are mature, able to make solid decisions, capable of providing patient and respectful custom-er service, and who show up for work every day on time. Document how you meet their needs and will strive for success!

• Job application procedures are more complicated. Your resume must be perfect while you step through convoluted online systems. Your application materials are critically important; be careful and thorough with each document you create. You want the employer to clearly see you as the best candidate for the job.

• Address the “hidden job market” through a strong network, both face-to-face and via social media. Your contacts are critical to dis-covering hidden opportunities.

• Your excellent resume has gotten you in the door — now you need to make the most of that interview. Be positive. Show an “air of ex-cellence.” The focus of the interview must remain on your accom-plishments. Regardless of the questions asked, always be sure to

Classes are typically offered on the second Wednesday of each month from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and on the fourth Wednesday from 6 to 8 p.m.

Seating is limited and registration is required. Please register at www.MySourcePoint.org or call (740) 203-2382.

Annual Insurance Seminar on October 7 The 16th Annual Insurance Seminar will be held on Wednesday, Octo-

ber 7 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Read more on page 22 and register at www.MySourcePoint.org or call (740) 203-2382.

Medicare Fall Annual Open EnrollmentThe time for Medicare beneficiaries to compare and change Part D/

Prescription Drug Plans or Part C/Medicare Advantage Plans, or enroll in a plan, is the fall annual open enrollment period from October 15 to December 7, with new coverage starting January 1, 2016.

If you are already enrolled in a Part D or Part C plan, it is a good idea to examine your coverage to determine if it will continue to meet your needs next year. Plans can change each year, such as the monthly pre-mium, annual deductible, list of drugs your plan covers (formulary) and quantity limits, the list of covered pharmacies (network & preferred net-work), medical copays, and out-of-pocket maximums. More importantly, your health can change, which may necessitate a change in plans. Plans typically become available to review during the first week in October.

Medicare Mini-WorkshopsThe first workshop teaches you how to run your own Medicare Part D

and Medicare Advantage Plan comparisons. This is a hands-on, interac-tive training session facilitated by an Ohio Senior Health Insurance Infor-mation Program (OSHIIP)-trained team member. This session is available:

• September 2, 6:30 - 8 p.m.• September 16, 10:30 a.m. - 12 p.m.• November 4, 6:30 - 8 p.m.

Our second workshop will teach you more about Medicare supple-ment terms, how to obtain rate information, the pros and cons of sup-plements, and a basic review of rules. This session is facilitated by an OSHIIP-trained team member and is available:

• October 21, 6:30 - 7:30 p.m.Workshop space is limited! Please register at www.MySourcePoint.org

or call (740) 203-2382.

Giving From the HeartEach week I have the joy of reading notes that accompany contribu-

tions to SourcePoint made by individuals, organizations, and compa-nies. You would likely smile as I do at the positive thoughts shared by these thoughtful donors.

One local church felt so strongly about our nutrition program that they sent us a check for $300, along with praise for Meals On Wheels, the Free Groceries program, and the Farmers‘ Market Voucher program. A client who was aided by volunteer drivers in our Medical Transportation pro-gram sent in $100 and remarked that the volunteers were “very nice and cordial.” Another gentleman, who picks up coins while running errands and enjoying retired life, sent us a $25 bag of loot along with a note ask-ing us to apply the coinage to Meals On Wheels or another area of need.

These heartfelt gifts help sustain our efforts as the premier provider of services for people 55 and older in Delaware County.

You, too, may have positive feelings about the impact of SourcePoint. If you do, please consider making a financial investment in our organization during our annual campaign in November and December, or right now on our safe and secure website at www.MySourcePoint.org/give.

My COMMUNICATORPersonal Reflection10

SourcePoint has so many wonderful opportunities for those 55 and older. We invite you to come and take a tour to see for yourself. There are local adults who are not yet aware of all the incredible experiences offered here, so I recently asked members to share with you, the readers, why they come to SourcePoint. This is what they had to say.

“As both a recent retiree and a new widower, I set about filling in the openings in my schedule and my social life. When I decided to check out the website to see what the center on Cheshire Road had to offer, I was a bit blown away. The predicament quickly became how could I ever decide among the dozen-or-so activities which were spot-on for my interests and time? After taking an orientation session with about a dozen other new members, the decision was not made any easier. But eventually, I chose the weekly choral group called the Golden Notes, led by superb director Ruth Rabby (a retired OWU vocal professor), and the creative writing class. The vocal group has been challenging and satisfying, and comprises a fun social group to meet with weekly. The writing group is a dozen-or-so folks who are strong writers with various styles, and intellectual challenges play out during the month between meetings when we work on our own cre-ations. This past year has been a true blessing.” —Wally White

“SourcePoint offers many educational opportunities—arts, dance, his-tory—which greatly interest me. I was fortunate to find those opportu-nities more than met my hopes and expectations. In addition, I found new friends whose interests and attitudes mirrored my own and—even better—expanded them. A circle of new friends to replace those I’ve moved from has been an unexpected pleasure.” —Barbara Sweeney

Suzetta “Presley” Anderson enjoys liquid stained glass classes. She has created several pieces of art that she has given as gifts. She is proud to give handmade, original art to those she cares about. “It makes me hap-py to be with nice and helpful ladies,” she said. “It is a great place to be. I attend because the ladies are (now) a part of my family.”

“I am 62 and am finding out that I have no one to talk to or anything to do. Since I joined, I feel like I belong with people who identify with problems similar to mine. I joined classes and signed up for a trip so that I have something to look forward to! I feel honored to belong to a group other than work.” —Patti Arthur

“The class I get the most out of is the highest-level Aquatics 3 class. We do a very extensive workout with a lot of cardio, core work, and strength

training. Our instructor is caring and knowledgeable. She explains what exercises we are doing and the muscle groups we’re using. I have really benefited from this class, both physically and mentally. I also enjoy wa-ter volleyball!” —Linda Patrick

Pat Coleman comes to SourcePoint for many reasons. She and her hus-band volunteer to take Meals On Wheels to folks in the county twice a week. She enjoys volunteering with Scrappy Crafters, at special events, and in the art room. Pat loves to attend art classes and spend time with members and employees. She considers the people at SourcePoint her second family.

Doris Russell has learned interesting techniques and enjoys sharing with other photographers in the photography group. She also enjoys interacting with others in her “brain exercise” class, Mind Aerobics. She attends the Think Positive class because it is upbeat, happy, and inspires her. “Things learned or seen in those videos and pictures carry over to many of my other activities,” said Doris. “The positive thoughts and words have impacted some of my creative design activities.” She also enjoys the lectures by Professor Les Helms.

Vic Warner works out in the fitness room twice a week for his heart health. He enjoys working out with like-minded people his own age. It is less expensive to work out in the fitness room than it would be to buy his own equipment. Vic also volunteers in the fitness room. He enjoys meeting, helping, and chatting with members when they come to exer-cise. He likes to talk with members about their lives—their current and past jobs and their life experiences.

“I have been coming to SourcePoint since it opened. It’s a lifestyle choice for me. Taking classes at the pool has allowed me to do other things in my life. Not only has the aquatic exercise benefited my phys-ical health, but the friends I made have benefited my mental and so-cial health. The staff and members are so welcoming. The warmth of the pool water allows me to work on my balance and flexibility in ways I could never do on land. I look forward to each and every class. Please join me at the pool!” —Jean Sheppard

SourcePoint offers fun and educational programs in which Don Pearse can improve his creative writing and photography skills and keep his brain active. He enjoys volunteering to help the Scrappy Crafters cre-ate handmade items for the gift shop. Don volunteers to help with the annual Veterans Day ceremony, and is appreciative of the recognition given to local veterans.

Roy and Kay Campbell attend classes for the mental activity, laughs, and problem-solving. CONTINUED ON PAGE 19...

“I started an aquatics class looking for a way to exercise with fibromyalgia. The warm water and lack of chlorine smell (due to the ultravi-olet system) are great! The benefits of exercis-ing in the pool are amazing. I am stronger and much more flexible because, in the pool, I am able to do exercises that are impossible for me to do out of the pool. I had to have two knees replaced and the pool exercises were the best therapy for me following my surgeries. I high-ly recommend the aquatic programs.

is the most fun way to spend an hour learning trivia and challenging your own memory,” said Marci. Danny enjoys the fellowship at Source-Point. He enjoys learning and keeping his mind active, and plays dominoes and bingo because they are “just plain fun.”

“SourcePoint has programs that will appeal to almost everyone. I enjoy a line dancing class for fun and exercise. The writing class is inter-esting. The photography class helps me im-prove my picture-taking.” —Hope Perry

For Chris Glass, SourcePoint offers some-thing new, funny, fascinating, interesting, and inspirational in Mind Aerobics. She also en-joys bridge, finding it challenging and fun to play with others. Chris loves the Something To Think About series with Les Helms and said she would go back to college if she knew he would be her professor! Fortunately, she can hear him speak at SourcePoint each month about cul-tures, communication, generations, and the

brain. Chris is a volunteer here, too. Volunteer-ing has helped her learn about the different aspects of SourcePoint and she has gained an appreciation of the wonderful work done by the staff.

Sharon Bryan attends SourcePoint because of liquid stained glass and Zentangle classes. She enjoys the instructor who “brings out the best in each of us. She inspires our inner cre-ativity. When you walk into the art room, all stress disappears. You always walk out of class with a smile. This instructor is phenomenal and the reason I come to SourcePoint.”

The Book of Unknown Americans by Christina Henriquez is an epi-sodic tale relating the stories of a group of Latino immigrants living in a seedy apartment building located in an unnamed Delaware city.

The story focuses on two families: the Riveras and the Toros. The Rivera family, consisting of Alma, Arturo, and their daughter Mari-bel, has recently arrived in the U.S. from Mexico. Arturo and Alma have come in search of the best education they can find for their daughter, who experienced a traumatic brain injury in Mexico. Artu-ro leaves behind his construction business in Mexico, and receives a work visa sponsored by a mushroom farm to obtain legal entry into the country.

Celia and Rafael Toro brought their sons, Enrique and Mayor, here from Panama to escape the violence there, and all are now U.S. citizens. Rafael works as a line cook in a diner to support his family, and their oldest boy is attending college on scholarship. Mayor, the younger son, is in high school, and finds himself drawn to the beauty and innocence of Maribel.

Beyond this main theme, we are introduced to the other residents of the building. There is Ben-ny Quinto from Nicaragua, now flipping fast food burgers, and Gustavo Milhojas, a Guatemalan working two jobs to make ends meet. We also meet Quisqueya Solis, a Venezuelan expatriate living off a divorce settlement, and the Mercados, an elderly couple from Puerto Rico, enjoying books together in their small living room.

What do these people have in common, other than coming to the United States seeking a better life? Not as much as one might think, and that is the point of the book. They are individuals with unique experiences, interests, talents, and cultures. Many people, though, do not see this. Their differences and histories remain invisible to some as they are viewed collectively as Latino or Hispanic immigrants. Few take the time to discover the circumstances and courage that brought most of them here.

While the gentle romance between Mayor and Maribel is sweet and compelling, the real object of this well-crafted work is to introduce us to these diverse individuals and their stories. Some of them are tragic, and others uplifting, but all are worth reading. One will not regret the time spent learning the stories of these unknown Americans.

Please join us at the Delaware County District Library in September and October as we encour-age Delaware County to read and experience The Book of Unknown Americans. Our DelawaREADS programming will include a visit from author Christina Henriquez on October 9, book discussions, and screenings at the Strand Theater of the PBS documentary series Latino Americans, followed by commentary and Q&A with OWU faculty members.

2See You Saturdays!Saturday, October 10, 8 a.m.–4 p.m.

Beginning October 10, SourcePoint will be open on Saturdays. The expanded hours are a response to a survey conducted this past spring.

“The responses to the survey were clear—members want expanded hours,” said Steve Gorman, director of the enrichment center at SourcePoint.

SourcePoint’s Saturday hours initially will be from 8 a.m. until noon, with room to expand and add activities as members request them.

“Saturday mornings will be a loud, fun atmosphere, with more ac-tive group programs,” Gorman said. “We’re gearing up to add water- and land-based exercise classes that will have a higher intensity to help broaden our program reach. We’ll also transfer some of our ex-isting aquatics classes to Saturday. It will be a high-energy day, and each Saturday will have a different flavor than the previous one.”

Gorman said Saturdays will also offer inter-generational art pro-grams, which he said addresses a growing need in the community.

“We’ll kick that programming off with a youth/grandparent paint-ing class, and we’ll also have a pumpkin carving class,” he said. “These are great activities that enhance socialization between generations, which can be a great health benefit to our older population.”

Another weekend project on the horizon is what Gorman described as “garage band Saturday,” where participants can “plug in, get loud, and play garage band music.”

Later in October, intake and referral as well as insurance specialists will be available during some evening and Saturday hours, to provide more information about SourcePoint’s community support program.

The October 10 open house event at SourcePoint will also feature instructors from some of the other activities offered and—because it is a Saturday in October—a live broadcast of the Ohio State football game on the big screen.

“We’re getting some food trucks lined up and will play the OSU game, which kicks off at noon,” said Gorman, who added that fes-tivities on October 10 will extend beyond the normal noon closing time and conclude around 4 p.m. “We want to give people a chance to come in and see what SourcePoint is all about, and I hope we get some new faces.”

Gorman said the buzz about being open on Saturday is already spreading through the SourcePoint community.

“I’ve had members say that they’re so happy that we are going to open on Saturdays,” Gorman said. “I’m very excited about it, and I’m excited that the members that wanted this are already talking about it.”

3The (Free) Scoop on MedicareWednesday, October 7, 9 a.m.–12 p.m.

Those wanting to learn more about how to navigate the winding road of Medi-care—including prescription drug cover-age, Medicare advantage plans, Medicare supplements, and Social Security’s role in Medicare—will want to block Wednesday, October 7 on the calendar and plan to at-

tend the 16th Annual Insurance Seminar, from 9 a.m. to noon at SourcePoint.

The free seminar also covers such topics as advance funeral plan-ning and insurance vehicles used to fund those arrangements, and includes a complimentary continental breakfast (from 8:30 to 9 a.m.). Because seating for the seminar is limited, pre-registration is required by September 30. Those interested in attending should call SourcePoint’s registration hotline at (740) 203-2382 or register on-line at www.MySourcePoint.org.

Paula Dean, SourcePoint’s insurance specialist, conducts the semi-nar and teaches other sessions related to insurance and Medicare at SourcePoint, including New to Medicare classes.

“The New to Medicare sessions provide an overview of the many components of Medicare for those who will be eligible and want to learn about their options,” Dean said.

The classes are typically offered from 10 a.m. to noon on the sec-ond Wednesday of each month, and from 6 to 8 p.m. on the fourth Wednesday of each month. Pre-registration is also required for the New to Medicare classes.

Dean said the time for Medicare beneficiaries to compare and change Part D and Part C plans, or to enroll in a plan if previous dead-lines were missed, is also approaching. Learn more in Dean’s article on page 7.

4Someone You Can TrustWorkshops begin in October

When it comes to your money and your future, it goes without saying that you want to put both in the hands of someone you trust. Mike Miller, development admin-istrator at SourcePoint, said SourcePoint’s trusted advisor workshops are designed to help you to make the best plans for that

next phase of your life. “I did a bit of research to find topics for the workshops and these

should be of interest to people across the board,” Miller said.All of the workshops take place at SourcePoint from 6:30 to 8 p.m.

Miller said they can accommodate about 80 attendees per session, so reservations are recommended. Contact Mike Miller at (740) 203-2420 or mike@MySourcePoint.org to register. Sessions start in Octo-ber and are scheduled as follows:

• October 6 - Wills, Probate, Estate and Legacy Planning: How They Affect You and Your Loved Ones, presented by Bob Johnson, Life-time Financial Growth, and Bill McLoughlin, Metz, Bailey & Mc-Loughlin. Topics include why wills are important and when a trust is a good alternative, how probate works in Ohio, how es-tates are impacted differently with and without a will, and more.

• October 13 - Investing Options to Consider Once You Reach 50 Years of Age, presented by Jon Cleary, The BCA Group at Morgan Stan-ley Wealth Management, and John Farrell, John C. Farrell, CFP, ChFC. Topics include generating income in retirement, Social Se-curity optimization, asset allocation and diversification, investing vs. trading, and more.

• October 20 - Insurance: Determining Your Needs and Deciding Which Products Are Best for You, presented by Carla Poston, Cre-ative Financial Insurance, Dena Haller Russell, Haller Wealth Man-agement Group, and Bill Browning, Browning & Meyer Co., LPA. This panel-format event will offer information about life insur-ance, long-term care insurance, Medicare benefits, annuities, and other related topics.

“Our intent is to provide education and value to the community through these programs,” Miller said. “Soon I hope we can offer work-shops like these throughout the county.”

5The Caregiver ConnectionWorkshops begin in September

The end of September marks the begin-ning of the Powerful Tools for Caregivers workshops at SourcePoint. Sara Stemen, family caregiver program coordinator at SourcePoint, said the workshops debuted last year and trained 43 caregivers during the six-week program.

“Powerful Tools helps caregivers allevi-ate stress, addresses their needs, and helps them to learn from their emotions in making caregiver decisions,” Stemen said. “It is open to anyone who is a caregiver, but either the caregiver or the person they care for has to live in Delaware County.”

There is no charge for the workshop, and Stemen said she can ac-commodate 14 caregivers per six-week session. Workshop partici-pants get a comprehensive workbook, light refreshments are served, and SourcePoint can provide free in-home respite services for the caregiver if needed, at no cost. Caregivers who attend each of the six sessions receive a $25 gift card at the conclusion of the workshop.

“There are two time slots available for caregivers,” said Stemen, who leads all of the sessions with help from co-facilitators. “They can join us from 9 to 11 a.m. or from 6 to 8 p.m. The material has been tested with a variety of caregivers, and it really connects.”

Dates for the next sessions are Monday mornings, September 28 through November 2, and Thursday evenings, October 1 through November 5.

SourcePoint continues to expand its programming for family care-givers. The Caregiver Coalition, a volunteer committee that helps en-sure that SourcePoint delivers high-quality programs and services to local caregivers, launched in August.

“The purpose of the group is simple: to give SourcePoint a steering committee to help us help caregivers,” said Stemen. “We want to de-termine where can we help most and foster a more connected group of caregivers in the county.”

Stemen said the coalition is meant to serve as a resource for in-formation as well as a peer group so caregivers can talk with others going through the same thing.

“The thought is we will meet quarterly, and those in the group will help shape what the content at each meeting looks like,” Stemen said.

Stemen said registration is required to be part of the group; call (740) 363-6677 for more information.

One of the more frustrating technical tasks these days is coming up with a password that is difficult for hackers to crack, but easy for you to remember. It’s easy to do one or the other, but managing both can be a headache. The good news is it doesn’t have to be.

Why do I need such a strong password?Passwords exist to ensure that you—and no one else—can access

your computer and online accounts such as email, online banking, social media accounts, etc.

In order for a password to be effective, it needs to be both long and unique.

The sophisticated software programs hackers use are designed to break into accounts by using every possible combination of numbers and letters until they get the right one. The software allows them to try thousands of possible combinations in a short period of time, starting with common words and phrases that are often unwisely used as pass-words.

Remarkably, “password” is one of the most frequently used passwords of all, which is why it’s often the first one checked by hackers. The more lengthy and obscure your password, the longer it takes hacking software to get to it—that’s why longer passwords are more secure. The problem is that a long password is often harder to remember.

So how do I choose a long, but easy-to-remember password? An IT friend of mine gave me this tip: all you have to do is pick an

easy-to-remember phrase and change it up a bit. Here’s an example:Phrase: My dog’s name is Otis.Change your simple phrase into an effective password by following

these steps:• First, eliminate all the spaces so the words run together, like this:

Mydog’snameisOtis• Make the “M” in “My” and “O” in Otis lowercase: mydog’snameisotis • Capitalize the first letter of the second word: myDog’snameisotis • Change the letter “a” to the asterisk sign “@:” myDog’sn@meisotis • Finally, change each letter “s” to a dollar sign: myDog’$n@mei$oti$

Now you have a more secure password! Just remember your secret phrase: My dog’s name is Otis. In your head, remove the spaces and make the character substitutions as you type.

You may think this seems like a lot of trouble. But it’s better than having your email flooded with spam and/or losing the money in your checking account to a thief. Choose a secure password and have peace of mind. It’ll be tricky the first few times you type your new password, but before long, you’ll type it quickly and with ease.
