taking just one person at a time we can collectively have a great impact on

the world around us. Volunteering is one way to reach out to build a better community.

During the past month a new group has formed to establish a coalition of

agencies, organizations and individuals to better recruit and organize the efforts of volunteers, especially in meeting the many needs of our senior

population. This group is forming in part because we are struggling to find

enough volunteers to meet all the community needs that we share. You can make their job easier by stepping up today, on Independence Day, to make a commitment to volunteer the next time you have that opportunity.

Last week I attended a community meeting at the Library sponsored by

Healthy Klamath. There were diverse groups represented there and the state of our community was explored. We heard about the homeless and the

many needs of those seeking mental health counseling. We also heard about community accomplishments and the pride many have in the quality of life they are able to achieve here. Yet, there remains much disparity that can only be resolved if we can all work together, not in a segregated manner, but by

truly engaging with each other. There are many opportunities for each of us to step up and embrace so many projects that require our interdependence.

Meals on Wheels Volunteers Needed

IS ANYONE LISTENING? I’m republishing this piece from last month because we desperately need more Wheels-On-Meals (MOW) Drivers. Joe Primm retired from MOW service and wrote this great piece to encourage others to take up the service. Although it is a volunteer position mileage is reimbursed. We will serve 12,000 more meals this next year than last year for a total of over 80,000 meals. The Senior Center and your elderly neighbors need your help. Please read Joe’s prose and give us a call. We need 10 new volunteers.

Blue Zones Project will continue to have a booth at Third Thursday’s (6 p.m. – 9 p.m.) where we are handing out Challenge Cards and pedometers to participants. These cards provide 4 healthy activity challenges that they choose 1 of the activities to complete then return the card for a reward (On June 21st it was $4 Veggie Bucks to be used at the Farmers Market). It is a lot of fun but incredibly busy and we need your help!

Volunteers Needed: • July 19 and/or August 16 • First Shift: 5:30pm – 7:00pm • Second Shift: 6:45 pm - 8:00pm • Third Shift: 7:45pm - 9:00pm Contact us if you are willing to volunteer at either of these events.

We greatly appreciate all your help and support!

By Joe Primm I had a visit recently with my friend, Marc Kane, and I offered up this writing as an inclusion to the Active Seniors Supplement, a monthly publication.

At this stage of my life I suspect it is common to ponder one’s life experiences. I share this testimonial with you, the reader.

I delivered my last meal on 10/25/2017 after having been a Meals on Wheels driver, delivery person for nearly six years. And what a positive experience it was. First and foremost was to get the prepared meal safely to the client. At that point the human connection took over and life experiences for me, flourished. I do know I helped many people have a better day than they would have had otherwise. They, in turn, made my day better. The clients as the recipients receive the driver/delivery person, as the bearer of all that is good. I don’t want to get too philosophical here, but in my mind, nothing is more important than that. From time to time, certainly all the human emotions were experienced; sadness, frustration, happiness, and even anger. But the saving grace, so to speak re: the negative emotions was delivering the meal and making that all important connection. Connections that have served my life well and continue to do so at the age of 80 years. I want to say that all the employees and volunteers at KBSCC are of the same mind set----we care! Thanks go to those folks for allowing me to be a part of all that is good.

It is my hope a reader or readers of this writing will volunteer at the Senior Center and view the experience as positive as I did.

Post Note: The Senior Center is always accepting applications for MealsOn-Wheels drivers or “runners”. Applications are available at the front desk or by mail and email. Just call us at 541-883-7171.

Where Have You Gone?

By Sharon (Johnston) Pappas © Where have you gone I wonder when I see Your eyes are looking Completely through me

The song of a bird Or majestic rainbow You were in awe But where did you go

Your body is here But you’ve slipped away Living beyond In shades of gray

Now I’m holding our memories For Me and You The secrets we shared The life we knew

Not long ago We’d laugh and talk Share our day Over dinner and a walk

For they are treasures A lifetime of gold To you they are hidden In heaven… they’ll unfold.

The mountains were picturesque

Was a vibrant blue and crystal clear.

And reflected off of the lake.

I sat for a moment, took in a deep

I was hiking for awhile, and

Breath, and shed a happy tear.

Decided to take a break.

The sky was blue, and

There is still some snow

The clouds were white.

On a distant peak,

They were fluffy, and full of

And water is running beside

Shapes. My imagination took flight.

Me in a little creek.

I saw a man yawning, and

This is the way to spend

Stretching far and wide,

This incredible day.

A mouse with a puffed up

Enjoying the outdoors,

Tail looking to hide.

And the sights along the way.

There was a gentle breeze

Everywhere I look, there

That blew in fresh air.

Is beauty to behold.

With a scent of pine, it

It’s an amazing planet, a little

Was a pleasant affair.

Chilly, but I don’t feel the cold.

Physical therapy is also expensive. We do many of the same exercises that are done in physical therapy, however, we do them more gently. For good results we recommend doing 3 classes per week.

S A I L exercise classes cost only $2.00 per class, and no one is ever denied participation for inability to pay.

The reason people keep coming back is because they enjoy the activities and the encouragement that the other students offer.

SHIP TALK

(Senior Health Insurance Program) FRAUD AND ABUSE

Last month we discussed the new Medicare cards that on their way and how to be sure and escape fraud associated with these new cards. This leads me to a more comprehensive review of the subject which, unfortunately, is rampant. Currently, the most prevalent thing out there are the phone calls, mailers, and TV ads promising to cure your sore back or knees with the purchase of various kinds of braces, all covered by Medicare. If you bite, all they have to do is create a doctor’s prescription, send it in to Medicare, get approval for payment, and ship the buyers their braces. This is fraud, plain and simple, because the prescription was not from the buyer’s authorized physician and, therefore, not a valid prescription. It’s done knowingly and with intention to defraud. And we all remember The Scooter Store, which was finally shut down for massive fraud, so thankfully, we don’t see those ads anymore.

The above examples are well- known and egregious fraud schemes. But there are many ways to defraud Medicare, many of which can easily go un-noticed. Examples: Medicare is billed for services you never received, equipment you never got or was returned, documents that are altered to gain a higher payment, misrepresentation of dates, descriptions of furnished services, or the identity of the beneficiary.

Perhaps, just as common, is what’s more correctly referred to as abuse.

Abuse happens when health care providers or suppliers don’t follow good medical practices, resulting in unnecessary costs to Medicare, improper payment, or services that aren’t medically necessary. Finally, there are, numerous, ordinary and unintentional plain, old, innocent mistakes made in the billing process. Watch for these.

It’s incumbent on all of us to take an active interest and a watchful eye on our Medicare charges. When you get health care services, record dates and save receipts and statements you get from providers to check for mistakes. If you think you see an error or are billed for services you didn’t get, you should do the following: • Check you Medicare Summary Notice if you have Original Medicare to see if the service was billed to Medicare. If you’re in an Advantage plan, check the statements you get from your plan.

• If you know the health care provider or supplier, call and ask for an itemized statement. They should give you this within 30 days.

• You can also visit MyMedicare.gov to review your Medicare claims.

• Always verify dates and name of provider. A name you don’t recognize is a definite red flag. In short, does the service or supply, the date and name of provider match your records?

• Last, but certainly not least, if you’ve done your homework and you still suspect that Medicare is being charged for a service or supply you didn’t get, or you don’t know the provider on the claim, never hesitate to call Medicare at 1-800-633-4227 Be vigilant. Keep track of your paperwork. And remember, SHIBA counselors are available at the Klamath Basin Senior Citizens Center.

Just call 541-883-7171 and make an appointment and we’ll see if we can answer your questions, help you get signed up for what you need, or perhaps even help unravel your dilemma.

Respectfully submitted, Anne Hartnett, SHIBA Coordinator

Donor List JORDAN COVE PACIFIC PIPELINE AND KLAMATH COUNTY COMMIT GRANTS IN JUNE FOR SENIOR MEALS PROGRAMS Klamath County Government is again leading the way in our campaign to raise $100,000 from Foundations and Organizations for the new year beginning July 1, 2018. The County will grant $7,500 while the Jordan Cove Pacific Pipeline group has also notified the center of a $2,500 grant, both soon to be received.

The County Grant is especially important as it communicates the support of local government and residents and recognizes the value of our services as a critical part of what makes our community a more livable place to be. This in turn levers the support of foundations and others outside of the community who look for evidence of local support before committing. Thank you to the Klamath Community for supporting the Klamath Senior Center.

A big thanks to all our individual contributors for their monetary support and to those who make donations when participating in programs that don’t expect to be acknowledged by name. We are grateful to all who support the Senior Center.

Unidentified contributions in May for Meals , Transportation and Other Services amounted to $3,824.00.

Lynette Harvey Marta Stephens Mary Ellen Sargent Patricia Henderson Rose Chapman

The Center continues to encourage you to be a recurring giver. These types of gifts are so important to the Center because they add stability to our funding. They also send a clear message to everyone that you have trust in the Center, its future and its importance to our senior neighbors.

You can become an on-going or recurrent giver by authorizing the Center to charge to your card periodically, such as monthly. You can also contribute by mail, personal visit or with a single telephone call to the Center. There is a giving form on page 3 of this publication.

Nancie’s Corner Blues Zones Reporter Health and Wellness Counselor

Blue Zones - Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica What follows is a quest to see why the Nicoya Peninsula’s was chosen as one of the five Blue Zones in the world.

Similar to the other identified Blue Zones, Nicoyans’ diet is primarily plantbased with a historical focus on black beans, homemade corn (maize) tortillas, yams and squash. As traditional farmers, they practice a rich agricultural system whereby each crop benefits from the others. In the last 50 years, the squash has been largely replaced by rice. Their diets include vegetable greens from their gardens, local fruit—papayas, plantains and peach palms; less frequently meat, poultry, fish and eggs. The largest of their meals is early in the day with a light meal at dinner. Because of their diet and the calcium rich water source, they rarely suffer from bone fractures or broken hips.

They share a strong faith and deep social connections. They get plenty of Costa Rican sunshine with its natural Vitamin D. Men there reach the age of 90 at rates 2.5 times greater than those in the U.S. They avoid prime killers here: heart disease, many types of cancer and diabetes. As in other Blue Zones, they habitually perform low-intensity physical activity throughout the day.

Check out a recipe for black beans and rice: https://www.bluezones.com/ recipe/5minute-tasty-squash-beans/.

For overall Blue Zones’ recipes: https://www.bluezones.com/recipes/ Perhaps you are interested in taking a similar approach. To make an appointment with me to discuss a fitness program or for questions about the Blue Zones Project, leave your name and phone number with the Senior Center’s receptionist.

Healthy Habits Can Lengthen Life

Physical activity is one of five healthy lifestyle factors that can lower your risk for several diseases and lengthen your life. Rawpixel/iStock/Thinkstock Have you heard the advice to exercise, choose a healthy diet, keep a lean weight, never smoke, and limit alcohol?

Researchers wanted to find out whether people who follow this advice live longer than those who don’t. So, they compared lifespan and other data from thousands of adults with all five of these healthy habits to those without.

People in the healthy habits group got at least 30 minutes of exercise each day. They ate the recommended amounts of fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains, and healthy fats. And they limited salt, sugary drinks, trans fat, and red and processed meats. They also limited alcohol. Women had no more than one drink each day and men no more than two drinks. They also maintained a normal weight and didn’t smoke.

The people in the other group didn’t exercise, have a healthy diet, or limit drinking. They smoked and were overweight.

Based on the results, the researchers estimated that a 50-year-old woman who had all five habits would live, on average, to age 93. In contrast, if she didn’t have any of these habits, she would live on average to age 79.

For a 50-year-old man, the average lifespan was about 88 years old with healthy behaviors and only 76 years without.

“This study underscores the importance of following healthy lifestyle habits for improving longevity in the U.S. population,” says Dr. Frank B. Hu of Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, senior author of the study.

Children Of The Greatest Generation

(and their children - so they will understand) Submitted by Ernie Palmer, Senior Center Board Member

Born in the 1930’s and early 40’s, we exist as a very special age cohort. We are the Silent Generation.

The G.I. Bill gave returning veterans the means to get an education and spurred colleges to grow.

We are the smallest number of children born since the early 1900’s. We are the "last ones."

VA loans fanned a housing boom.

We are the last generation, climbing out of the depression, who can remember the winds of war and the impact of a world at war which rattled the structure of our daily lives for years.

We are the last to remember ration books for everything from gas to sugar to shoes to stoves.

We saved tin foil and poured fat into tin cans.

We saw cars up on blocks because tires weren't available.

We can remember milk being delivered to our house early in the morning and placed in the "milk box" on the porch.

We are the last to see the gold stars in the front windows of our grieving Neighbors whose sons died in the War. We saw the 'boys' home from the war, build their little houses.

We are the last generation who spent childhood without television; instead, we imagined what we heard on the radio.

As we all like to brag, with no TV, we spent our childhood "playing outside".

We did play outside, and we did play on our own.

There was no little league.

There was no city playground for kids.

The lack of television in our early years meant, for most of us, that we Had little real understanding of what the world was like.

On Saturday afternoons, the movies, gave us newsreels of the war sandwiched in between westerns and cartoons.

Telephones were one to a house, often shared (party Lines) and hung on the wall.

Computers were called calculators, they only added and were hand cranked; typewriters were driven by pounding fingers,throwing the carriage, and changing the ribbon.

The 'internet' and 'GOOGLE' were words that did not exist.

Newspapers and magazines were written for adults and the news was broadcast on our table radio in the evening by Gabriel Heatter.

We are the last group who had to find out for ourselves.

As we grew up, the country was exploding with growth.

Pent up demand coupled with new installment payment plans put factories to work.

New highways would bring jobs and mobility.

The veterans joined civic clubs and became active in politics.

FAMILY BINGO

JULY 8TH • Open at 12, call at 1:30 Children 7 or over are welcome when accompanied by a parent or guardian.

LOTS OF FUN AND SPECIAL PRIZES! Food concession will be open.

The radio network expanded from 3 stations to thousands of stations.

This special event is offered quarterly on the Second Sunday of January, April, July and October

Our parents were suddenly free from the confines of the depression and the war, and they threw themselves into exploring opportunities they had never imagined.

Help Support Our Senior Programs

We weren't neglected, but we weren't today's all-consuming family focus.

They were glad we played by ourselves until the street lights came on.

They were busy discovering the post war world.

We entered a world of overflowing plenty and opportunity; a world where we were welcomed.

We enjoyed a luxury; we felt secure in our future.

Depression poverty was deep rooted.

Polio was still a crippler.

The Korean War was a dark presage in the early 50’s and by mid-decade school children were ducking under desks for Air-Raid training.

Russia built the "Iron Curtain" and China became Red China.

Eisenhower sent the first 'advisers' to Vietnam.

Castro set up camp in Cuba and Khrushchev came to power.

We are the last generation to experience an interlude when there were no threats to our homeland.

We came of age in the 40’s and 50’s. The war was over and the cold war, terrorism, "global warming", and perpetual economic insecurity had yet to haunt life with unease.

Only our generation can remember both a time of great war, and a time when our world was secure and full of bright promise and plenty.

We have lived through both.

We grew up at the best possible time, a time when the world was getting better, not worse.

We are the Silent Generation - "The Last Ones" More than 99 % of us are either retired or deceased, and we feel privileged to have "lived in the best of times"!

Heat Safety

Article respectfully submitted by Klamath Hospice

Summer is here! Summers are an exciting time packed with barbecues, vacations and time in the sun it; however, it also increases our risk for heat-related illnesses as temperatures climb.

Heat-related illness is preventable, as long as you recognize the signs and take appropriate actions. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provides many resources to aid the public in staying safe during extreme heat.

Tips include: • Stay cool – by keeping your body temperature cool you will avoid heatrelated illness. Stay in air-conditioned buildings, do not rely on a fan to provide sufficient cooling, avoid direct sun, take a cool shower, avoid using the stove or oven, and check on vulnerable people at least twice a day.

• Stay hydrated – as your body loses fluids through sweating, it is important to stay well hydrated. Increase water intake, avoid alcohol or beverages that are high in sugar, and remind others to drink enough water, it will cue you to do the same.

• Stay informed – pay attention to local weather forecasts so you can make plans to stay safe in extreme heat. Learn the signs of heatrelated illness, such as muscle cramps, nausea and/or vomiting, and headache.

Visit www.cdc.gov/extremeheat/warning to learn more about the signs for heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Seek medical attention immediately if you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of heat-related illness.
