Strike!

Senior softball players enjoy camaraderie

By Greg Swatek News-Post Staff

U

ntil recently, Gerry Blessing has politely waved off any offer for someone to pinch run for him during games.

Blessing is a 78-year-old Frederick native and one of the charter members of the county’s Senior Recreation Council softball league, which recently began its 27th season.

“I feel better than 78,” said Blessing, who typically plays right field or catches for his team, sometimes hustling down the first-base line with a runner in case there is an overthrow. “Well, I don’t know how 78 is supposed to feel.”

Blessing loves the camaraderie and the exercise that comes with playing in the league. So, he has no plans to hang up his glove anytime soon.

“They keep letting me play. So, I keep playing,” he said. “[League coordinator] Adrian [Winpigler] hasn’t put his hand up yet.”

The coed league attracts people who share Blessing’s spirit. They just want to keep playing.

Games are for fun and recreational purposes. And, while they can be competitive, no one takes them too seriously.

“The opportunity to come out and play one more time in something that’s a little more fun, it means a lot,” said Lisa Jacob, 50, of Frederick, who played softball growing up and met 4

Friday on two fields at Pinecliff Park in Frederick. One team has a weekly bye.

The season typically runs from the second week of May until the end of September. On Wednesday nights, there is an open session that allows players from any

team to take batting and fielding practice.

“We don’t have any playoffs or trophies, and we umpire our own games,” said Winpigler, 77, another charter member of the league. “It’s purely recreational.”

RIGHT: John Limpert tracks a fly ball.

Winpigler tells new players not to try to impress anyone. He said a player tried diving for balls during a recent season and wound up in pain every time he did.

“Just come out and work yourself into shape,” Winpigler said. “It’s just recreation.”

Jefferson resident Frank Scotto, 75, used to be an avid cyclist until he found basketball and softball leagues through the Senior Recreation Council.

“With the cycling, it was all about the exercising. There wasn’t a whole lot of socializing,” Scotto said. “Most people wanted to go home after they

finished riding.”

Scotto swings a pretty good bat and can hold his own on the base paths.

“I can still outrun most of the guys here,” he quipped. “I don’t have any problem running.”

Jacob said the players in this league prove that “age is just a number.”

“It just reminds me, as I get older, that, as long as I take care of myself, I can still be active and come out and do things that I really enjoy.”

‘A Lot of Joy Involved’

Frederick native has second book of poetry published

By Jillian Atelsek News-Post Staff

G

rowing up crashing through the foothills of the Catoctin Mountains and splashing in the Monocacy River, Robert Miss said he cultivated a deep appreciation for nature.

Even now, at 83, certain memories from his childhood in Frederick are indelibly stamped in his mind. He can see the layers of clay lining the stream banks near his home, and he can recall the feeling of dirt road under stamping feet.

Those are some of the experiences he suspects make him a poet.

“When you’re outdoors, you take your time,” he said. “Time kind of stands still … I think that sets you up to be very thoughtful.”

Miss had his second book of poetry, “Prospero’s Glove,” published by Kelsay Books in May, and his recollections of growing up in Frederick County are scattered throughout its pages.

The writer grew up on North Market Street and went to St. John’s Parochial and High schools. He wrote his first poem in second grade. His mother saved it — unbeknownst to him — and he got it back a few years before she died. It’s about his dog Spot.

Now a resident of upstate New York, Miss fondly recalls years spent exploring the woods around his family’s cabin near the Monocacy. Plus, an aunt and uncle lived on Shookstown Road near Gambrill State Park, so there was no shortage of adventure to be had.

Miss had a happy childhood, he said, filled with hunting, fishing, camping 6

Frederick native Robert Miss just had his second book of poetry published. Many poems in it were influenced by his childhood spent near the Monocacy River.

and swimming. Though he’s not typically a nostalgic person, he finds joy in revisiting his early days through poetry.

“I like going back to experiences that were full experiences, where there’s a lot of joy involved,” he said.

In “Amulets of Memory,” Miss recounts pushing a boat down Linganore Creek with his father “in the day’s afterglow, sloshing into the night” and looking for bass. “Our Island Goddess Hitanacha” is an ode to a small island near the mouth of the Monocacy, not far from Furnace Ford Bridge on Route 28. He personifies the “silt |

mound” and ruminates on its role in his childhood.

“I visit her now in my Autumn age,” he writes. “She’s smaller than remembered, / But the old rage against the sky / Remains in her outstretched branches.”

After leaving Frederick to attend Fordham University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Miss returned in 1980 and took a job as the Weinberg Center’s executive director. He only stayed for a year. His goal was to get the center out of debt, he said, and he succeeded by restructuring its ticket pricing and bringing in

shows from a dinner theater in Washington, D.C. The job was a natural outgrowth of his lifelong affinity for art, he said.

Later, he became a marketing and consulting professional, though his love was always for poetry.

But despite years of experience— Miss said confidently that “he’s always been a writer”—he still works largely in fits and spurts. The poems that comprise “Prospero’s Glove” were written over the course of many years, and they “run the gamut” of style, length and subject, he said.

“I am not prolific,” he wrote in an email. “I don’t sit down everyday (sic) to write a poem. What happens is that an insight, thought or feeling comes over me. And like a temporary addiction I have to write it down, version after version until I feel and see that the poem is done. I blot out everything until it’s complete. A bomb could drop next to me and I would keep writing.”

Now, Miss has grandchildren scattered about the country, and only one cousin remains in Frederick. He doesn’t get to visit often, he said. And as he gets older, the former marathon runner and avid woodsman finds it more difficult to stay active and outside.

But he plans to keep writing poems inspired by the connection with the outdoors he forged as a young boy in the woods of Frederick County.

“Most of my poems are organic,” he wrote. “I grow them. I can’t claim I totally understand everything about them. I merely write them.”

“Prospero’s Glove” is available on Amazon.com.

What to Do When You Call 911

W

hen a family member or friend becomes suddenly ill or injured, the situation can turn stressful, or even chaotic, very quickly. Should someone find themselves in just such a position, they should know that there are groups of highly-trained professionals in Frederick County that are available to respond to their calls for help. And although the EMTs and paramedics are oftentimes considered to be the first responders to medical emergencies, emergency telecommunicators, or the 911 call takers, are considered to be the first, first responders.

They are certified by the state of Maryland as emergency medical dispatchers, and they are prepared to help you through any crisis.

HELP IS ON THE WAY

ones to have, advanced care planning documents such as the Maryland MOLST form, are integral in designating what types of EMS interventions are provided by the responding clinicians. Additionally, having these documents readily available can reduce stress during stressful times.

Consider placing these documents, as well as other critical health care information, in a special red folder that is designed to be placed on the refrigerator.

Frederick Health Hospital and the Division of Fire & Rescue Service’s Mobile Community Healthcare Program both have these free red folders for residents.

They may also be ordered by emailing DFRSMCH@FrederickCountyMD. gov, or by calling 301-600-0624.

Other important things to have include: • clearly marked house numbers posted on mailboxes and by the front door • a working front porch light that can be easily turned on • a clear, unobstructed path to access people inside the home • complete medical records including name, birthday, medical history, and lists of medications and allergies placed in the red folder and updated anytime there is a change.

What Happens When You Call 911?

GETTY

When someone dials 911 in Frederick County, their call is routed to the Frederick County Emergency Communication Center, where it will be answered by an emergency telecommunicator. This person will begin the call by asking a series of critical questions in a specific order.

The first question that a caller will be asked is, “What is the address of the emergency?” This is important in order to ensure that the responders are sent to the right location, and the call taker will ask the caller to repeat the address for verification purposes. Although calls from landline phones tend to be fairly precise, calls from cell phones do not always accurately reflect the address of the emergency.

The next question that a caller will be asked is what phone number they are calling from. This is important to have, because should the call become disconnected, the call taker will attempt to call back the person who dialed 911.

The next instruction that a caller will hear the call taker give is, “Okay, tell me ex8

PRIME TIME FREDERICK

actly what happened.” The answer to this question will help the call taker determine what type of case is being reported, and what type of help is going to be needed.

The call taker will continue to ask key questions in order to ensure that all necessary information is received, and will reassure the caller that help is being sent to their location.

The call taker will also provide additional instructions to the caller, and in certain cases, will stay on the line with the caller until help arrives.

How to Know if You Should Call 911

The 911 number was developed as a tool to access emergency resources, and sometimes people are hesitant to call if they are unsure whether or not their situation is emergent enough. Emergency telecommunicators and responders want you to know that it is best to call 911 if you think you need help.These professionals, who are specially trained to provide life|

THE FREDERICK NEWS-POST

saving instructions by phone, are always standing by to answer your call, and know exactly where the closest resources are to the emergency.

Driving to, or even just calling, the local fire station may cause a delay in getting help to your location, especially if the personnel and units assigned to that station are not immediately available, perhaps because they are out assisting with another emergency. Sometimes, people ask if there is a non-emergency number that they can call instead of dialing 911. Even if someone has fallen and is uninjured and only requires some assistance to get back up, it is best to dial 911.

Improve Long-Distance Caregiving

L

a friend, a health aide or a paramedic from afar. A smart thermostat can help you ensure a comfortable temperature, while a smart home security system can let you know if your loved one has left the house. Goyer used security cameras to keep an eye on her dad “whether I was going outside to take out the trash or 2,000 miles away.”

By Liz Weston NerdWallet

ong pandemic lockdowns forced many older adults to become comfortable with video calls to stay connected with family. That in turn means that long-distance caregivers have a better way to see how their loved ones are faring.

“You can’t tell on the phone that they’re wearing the same clothes every day, or they’re not bathing because they’re afraid they’ll fall in the shower,” said Amy Goyer, AARP’s national family and caregiving expert and the author of “Juggling Life, Work, and Caregiving.”

More than 1 in 10 caregivers look after family or friends from a distance, which can make the task much more difficult and expensive. A 2016 AARP survey found that caregivers in general incur an average of about $7,000 a year in out-of-pocket expenses. Long-distance caregivers—those who live at least an hour away from the care recipient—incur about $12,000 on average, according to the survey. Long-distance caregivers are more likely than local caregivers to hire help, take unpaid time off work and pay for travel, Goyer said.

Yet many distant caregivers worry they’re not doing enough and that a preventable crisis will develop because they weren’t on hand to spot the red flags.

“As caregivers, guilt is our constant companion,” Goyer said. “When you’re a long-distance caregiver, it’s even more so.”

AARP has numerous resources for caregivers, including a “Prepare to Care” planning guide and a financial workbook for estimating and tracking costs. Goyer, who cared for her grandparents, parents and a sister from afar, suggested the following ideas to make long-distance caregiving more effective and manageable.

MAXIMIZE AVAILABLE RESOURCES

If you can’t physically check in on your loved one regularly, enlist others who can.

Assemble a team

If you can’t physically check in on your loved one regularly, enlist others who can, Goyer said. Those could include family members or friends who live closer, or even a friendly neighbor to whom you can give your contact information.

“You may say, ‘Hey, if you notice grass isn’t getting mowed, things around the house look like they’re not being kept up, will you let me know?’” Goyer suggested.

If you have siblings, they can pitch in even if they’re long-distance, too, Goyer said.They can make daily check-in calls or handle tasks such as paying bills, making medical appointments and dealing with insurance companies.

If you have the means, consider hiring a geriatric care manager, also known as an aging life care professional, to help you evaluate your loved one’s caregiving needs, hire home health aides if necessary and step in if there’s a crisis. These |

THE FREDERICK NEWS-POST

professionals, who are often nurses or social workers, typically charge $75 to $200 an hour. An initial assessment may cost a few hundred dollars, but then the manager can be tapped as needed.

“If my parents had to go to the hospital or some emergency happened, there had to be somebody right away who could deal with it,” Goyer said.

EMBRACE TECHNOLOGY

Video calling isn’t the only technology that can make life easier for long-distance caregivers. Medical alert systems can allow a loved one to summon aid, and some have fall detection technology that works even if the person isn’t wearing a special device. Smart pill dispensers manage medications, and some can let caregivers know if doses aren’t taken.

Smart home systems can also help. A smart door lock, for example, can allow you to grant access to someone such as

Your loved one may be eligible for public benefits that could help with caregiving tasks or costs. Start your search at Benefits.gov. Resources for older Americans can also be found through the Eldercare Locator at eldercare.acl.gov.

Goyer’s father suffered from dementia for many years, but only during the last year of his life did she learn that he qualified for health care benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs.

“I wish I’d gotten him into VA health care earlier, because they ended up covering incontinence supplies and medications and a lot of things that I had been paying for,” Goyer said.

The person you’re caring for may have other resources that can be tapped, such as long-term care insurance, savings or home equity. Talking about money can be difficult, but not doing so can be disastrous, Goyer said. She eventually filed for bankruptcy protection because of the credit card debt she incurred while caregiving.

If she had it to do again, Goyer said she would consult with a financial advisor to better plan for the costs ahead.

“My biggest advice is to realize that this could go on a long time and can have an impact on your own personal finances,” she said.

Here’s How It Works:

Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
