Lynnfield soldier listed on The Moving Wall he Moving Wall is a halfsize replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. Last month, it arrived in Wilmington, and was on display at the Wilmington Commons from July 26th to July 30th. I had the opportunity to visit the Wall, and it was a very moving experience. In the center of this photo is the name Allan H. Jordan. Marine First Lieutenant Jordan was Lynnfield’s first victim of the Vietnam War, killed in action on April 6, 1968. In recognition of his heroic actions, he was posthumously awarded the Bronze Star with Combat V at the Iwo Jima Nation-

T

al Memorial on October 17, 1999. On Patriots Day, April 16th, Lynnfield honored Allan by placing gold star street signs and commemorative plaques at Jordan Road and

Jordan Park, both of which were named after him. Rest in Peace Allan H. Jordan. Lynnfield is truly proud.

A familiar face returns to LHS Guidance Dept.

By Christopher Roberson hree years after leaving the Guidance Department at Lynnfield High School, Kristen Dee has decided to return.

She had previously worked at the school as a part-time adjustment counselor from 2012 to 2015. This fall, she will be taking on the same role in a fulltime capacity.

“I am excited to return to such a supportive community where students have access to all of the resources necessary to reach their full potential,” she said.

Dee said her desire to become a high school adjustment counselor stemmed from “years of recognizing the value of supporting children.”

“I truly enjoy working as a team with teachers, administrators and other support personnel to help provide the most comprehensive support

when the support is required for a more extended period of time,” she said.

In addition, Dee said school safety continues to be of critical importance in an age when students bring guns to school.

“Safety is always a top priority when working in a school setting, particularly in light of the

T

recent school shootings,” she said. “Our goal will always be to support students and their families during their time at Lynnfield High School and to help identify students in need of emotional support.”

Dee received her Bachelor’s Degree in psychology from Merrimack College and her

Master’s Degree in social work from Salem State University.

In addition to her prior experience at the high school, Dee spent time working with families in a “number of different settings,” such as mental health clinics, therapeutic afterschool programs and residential treatment centers.

to students,” she said.

Dee said her role as an adjustment counselor differs somewhat from that of a traditional guidance counselor in that her focus will be more on the mental health facet of student’s lives. “Although both guidance counselors and adjustment counselors provide social and emotional support to students, a student is typically referred to the adjustment counselor

New lead teacher for 7th and 8th grade Student Support Program

Annie DeRosa

By Christopher Roberson s the new school year approaches, Annie DeRosa will assume responsibility for the seventh and eighth grade Student Support Program at Lynnfield Middle School. As the lead teacher for the two classes, she will be tasked with overseeing students’ social and emotional well-being as well as ensuring adequate academic support.

“The key to this program is building relationships with my students and helping them navigate their day and transition to high school,” she said.

“This program is very unique and that’s what I love about it.”

DeRosa also spent time at the middle school during the 2016-2017 school year as a member of the Merrimack Fellowship. “I had such an amazing experience and worked with so many great educators; I was really able to immerse myself in the Lynnfield community,” she said. “From that point on, I knew I wanted to contin-

A

ue my career in Lynnfield.”

In addition, she has taught at Ricci Middle School and North Providence High School in Providence, R.I. In her new role, DeRosa said, she is looking forward to bringing “energy and a refreshing outlook to an already amazing school community.”

“I can’t wait to learn from my colleagues, and for me to bring some new ideas to the table,” she said. “The middle school is such a great environment, and I can’t wait to be surrounded by so many great educators.”

Remembering Della Rich Smith, beloved Lynnfield resident

By Helen Breen (In 1980 Shirley Northrup, head of the Lynnfield Historical Commission, interviewed Della Rich Smith, a longtime Lynnfield resident who had married Joe Smith, a prosperous local farmer and former town moderator.) ella was born in 1899 in Warren, Vermont, the second oldest of seven children.

Her father died when she was 15. Then she and her younger brother Carl each determined to go to work in order to “keep the farm” for their mother and other siblings. Della found work at the Rochester Hotel in Vermont, where she worked Della Rich Smith (1899-1990), a Vermont native, left an indelias a waitress. Although Della ble legacy on the town of Lynnfield. (Photo courtesy of her youngadmitted to being “very bash- est daughter, Marie Vazzana of Ocean Isle Beach, N.C.) ful,” she left a favorable impression on a wealthy older couple named Edmonds whom she served nightly at the hotel.

Impressed with her desire to become a teacher, Mrs. Edmonds offered to fund Della’s education at Castleton State Normal School and to compensate Della’s mother for her daughter’s lost wages. Overwhelmed with Mrs. Edmonds’s generosity, Della made Mrs. Edmonds proud, graduating second in her class before returning to Warren to teach in a one-room schoolhouse.

D

School days Della embraced her new position with enthusiasm. She walked the three miles each way to school, until her mother bought her a Morgan horse that she hitched to a cart. Her students were delighted with this arrangement and took turns driving the horse to a nearby barn each day. The boys volunteered to arrive early every morning to start the fire in the potbellied stove on which the girls made cocoa for lunch.

Tragedy struck a year later when Della’s dear brother Carl died of typhoid fever. Two of her sisters also succumbed.

Della detailed the many kind-

Love ’n marriage Romance soon entered Della’s life in the person of Joe Smith, 18 years her senior. The Smith family had lived on the same land in Lynnfield since 1640, when it was granted to them by England’s King Charles.

Joe served as Town Moderator (1929-1946), kept a large farm and cattle and pursued other business ventures. He had been widowed three years earlier, left to raise five boys and one girl.

In the beginning, Della and Joe tried to keep their romance quiet, slipping out of town for dinner in Salem on occasion. But, as Della confided to Shirley,“I knew a good thing when I saw it.”

Della at first declined Joe’s proposal because she was still

Shirley recalled dropping in on the Smiths years earlier at their home on Lowell Street when Della had just finished making 12 pies. This was routine for Della – feeding her family and several men who worked on the farm and tended their 135 head of cattle.

Probing further, Shirley asked her to describe a typical breakfast for this crew. Della replied, “It started with an orange (cut in half, couldn’t squeeze them all for juice), soup plates full of hot cereal, two boiled eggs and two donuts and plenty of fresh bread.”

Mid-century Meanwhile, Joe’s business interests increased with the operation of Pocahontas Springs on his property and the building of Pocahontas Tavern. The latter was a huge stone structure often rented out by local organization for functions. Della (in her spare time) oversaw catering operations at the Tavern for many years.

During this conversation Della also described to Shirley her involvement with the rehabilitation program for veterans operated out of the Bedford V.A. Hospital. Her son John had served in World War II. Her stepson Teddy Smith had been a prisoner of war for four years in the Pacific theater. She confessed, “I always knew that Teddy would come home, and I wanted to do something for Warren, Vermont, in about 1910 when Della was a child.

ConCom hears results of Open Space Survey

By Christopher Roberson hile presenting the results of her Open Space Survey to the Conservation Commission, resident Lucy Madden said many of the 583 respondents cited the lack of trail markers and signage in the town’s reservations.

During the Aug. 21 meeting, Madden said 31 percent of the respondents said they visit the Partridge Island Boardwalk and Trail; 17 percent said they visit Beaver Dam Brook Reservation; and 14 percent said they visit

W

the Bennett Keenan Conservation Area and the Ipswich River.

“A lot of people don’t know about these places,” she said.

Conservation Commission Chairman Paul Martindale said it would not be a problem to have additional trail markers posted.

“It wouldn’t be that difficult to get trail markers; that’s such an easy thing to fix,” he said.

Madden also said that a number of residents want more hiking and walking trails. In response, Martindale called attention to the vast trail network at the Lynn Woods Reser-

vation, which is accessible from Bow Ridge.

Regarding the use of the town’s recreation areas, 89.9 percent of the respondents said they use the equipment at Lynnfield Middle School and 85.2 percent said they use the equipment at Lynnfield High School.

Jordan and Glen Meadow Parks were not far behind with each one receiving a 78.6 percent response.

Information from the Town Clerk’s Office highlighted Lynnfield’s younger population.

According to those figures,

27.1 percent of the town’s residents are between the ages of 20 and 44 while 29.5 percent are between the ages of 45 and 64. Current census information also showed that Lynnfield has a population 12,589, an increase of 8.6 percent since 2010.

In summation, Martindale told Madden that he and the commission will step up and make the necessary improvements and changes. He asked Madden to prepare a list of the top five requests from the survey and submit it to Conservation Administrator Emilie Ca-

demartori.

“We’ll implement whatever we need to do so that it’s not just a report on a piece of paper,”said Martindale. “We’ll do it.”

In addition, he said the commission is in the process of purchasing the land that was formerly home to Gerry’s Cider Mill.

He said once the transaction is complete, the commission will add the parcel to the town’s open space inventory.

Madden said she conducted the survey as part of her Gold Award Project for the Girl Scouts.

~LET TER TO THE EDITOR~ Bridgewell CEO passes away Dear Friend of Bridgewell, It is with great sadness that I share with you news of CEO Kelly J. Martin's passing. Kelly passed away peacefully August 18th surrounded by her family

and loved ones. Bridgewell has lost a true visionary and leader, and the community has lost an amazing person. At Bridgewell, we have not only lost a colleague and mentor, but a dear friend.

Kelly joined Bridgewell as a

college student 35 years ago.

Kelly's impact on the organization was immediate; after starting as a direct support professional she quickly advanced in a variety of direct care, management and leadership roles.

During her tenure, she over-

saw the growth and expansion of services to meet families' needs such as developing Bridgewell's autism division and establishing three separate day programs and 10 community residences in just five years. In addition, Kelly played a key role in the successful merger with Project COPE, expanding Bridgewell services to include substance use disorder and recovery programs.

In September 2017, Kelly was named president and CEO of Bridgewell, after serving as interim CEO. Kelly requested in lieu of flowers that donations be made to Bridgewell.

Earlier this summer, the Board

of Directors named COO Christopher Tuttle interim CEO. Chris brings extensive experience to Bridgewell and is a leader in the field of social and human services. He most recently served as director of operations for NFI Massachusetts, Inc. On behalf of the Board, thank you for your ongoing support of Bridgewell's mission and vision. During this transition and into the future, Bridgewell will continue to provide the highest quality of care to the people we serve in our programs.

Sincerely, Robin Sutherland Chair, Board of Directors Bridgewell

Boston City FC to participate in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup C

lub's Bay State Soccer League team will enter qualifying rounds of the 2019 tournament in September BOSTON, MA–Boston City F.C. will enter a team in the qualifying rounds of the 2019 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, kicking off the campaign in September.

The club's Bay State Soccer League (BSSL) team will participate in the opening stages of the competition next month, with the aim of progressing to the main 2019 knockout stages to join clubs who are entered automatically from the National Premier Soccer League, Premier Development League, United Soccer League and Major League Soccer.

The Lions' BSSL team will alter its name for all competitions when the second half of the league season kicks off this Saturday, August 25, from Boston

City Under 20s to Boston City II. The team's matches are presented by Boston-based recruiting firm The Gaisce Group.

"We are excited to give the club's fans a chance to support a team in the knockout environment of the illustrious U.S. Open Cup," said Boston City FC Managing Director Craig Tornberg.

"Our first team enjoyed a taste of this competition in 2017, with a dramatic win and a heart-breaking defeat, so it is great to give our development team the opportunity to now rise up to the challenge."

Boston City II will learn its opponent on the week of August 27 when first qualifying round matchups are announced. That knockout clash will be played on September 22 or 23, with subsequent rounds scheduled for the winning teams for October 20 or 21 and November 17 or 18.

The name change to Boston City II reflects a widening of the range of players who will have an opportunity to showcase their abilities in the BSSL and U.S. Open Cup, as the Lions continue to prioritize player development and provide a pathway to the club's first team. Boston City II currently sits in seventh place in the BSSL Division 3 North with a 4-3-1 record and resumes action this Saturday, August 25, at home to SR Young Boys at Daly Field in Brighton, kickoff 6pm.

In 2017, the Boston City FC first team won the club's firstever Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup match 5-4 in a penalty shootout after an exciting 2-2 draw, away to the Western Mass Pioneers.

In the second round, the Lions suffered a 2-1 defeat at home to the BSSL champion GPS Omens.

“There’s no violation whatsoever.”

In addition, he said the LCWD has changed a number of its valves in an effort to lower the levels of manganese.

Burnham also said only “three or four” residents attend the LCWD’s Board of Directors meetings.

Community Compact In other news, the board voted unanimously to authorize Town Administrator Robert Dolan to move forward with establishing a new Emergency Preparedness Plan under the state’s Community Compact program.

“Every 10 years it’s important to bring in someone from the outside to address the changing world we live in,” he said.

As a second best practice, Dolan suggested that the town’s Open Space Plan be completed. “We need someone to come in and help us finish the job,” he said.

H owe ve r, D a l to n d i s agreed, saying other best practices should be con-

sidered. “We only get this opportunity once a year,” he said.

Dalton said water management, creating a strategy for information technology consolidation and providing police with additional training on substance abuse as well as domestic violence would be worthy alternatives. “There’s things here that we should really take seriously,” he said.

Rail Trail update Speaking about the Wakefield-Lynnfield Rail Trail, Dolan said officials are in the process of determining whether or not residents “wish to proceed to 75 percent completion.”

In terms of funding, he said 50 percent of the project would be paid for by Lynnfield while Wakefield would fund the other 50 percent. Although $500,000 is included in state’s Environmental Bond Bill to help fund the project, Dolan said, only Gov. Charlie Baker has the authority to release those funds.

“This is not money we can count on,” he said.

However, Dolan maintained that the project would still be funded without spending taxpayer dollars.

Charlie Baker’s veto reduction of $100,000 (from $200,000 to $100,000) in funding for the prevention and treatment of macular degeneration at Schepens Eye Research Institute and $50,000 (from $100,000 to $50,000) in funding for education and support of patients diagnosed with phenylketonuria (PKU) and their families at the New England Connection for PKU and Allied Disorders.

Macular degeneration is an incurable eye disease that affects more than 10 million Americans and is the leading cause of blindness for people aged 55 and older. The cause of macular degeneration is not conclusively known.

PKU is a rare, inherited condition that affects about one in every 14,000 babies born in the United States.

PKU prevents a victim’s body from metabolizing phenylalanine — one of the amino acids that are joined together to form proteins. “When the infant or adult is untreated or poorly treated, phenylalanine rises to high levels in the blood and can damage the brain by causing mental retardation, seizures, learning disabilities and emotional problems,” according to the New England Connection for PKU and Allied Disorders website.

Supporters of spending the funds said the funding is important to these groups and that it may lead to a cure and a way to prevent these diseases.

In his veto message, Baker said he struck language which earmarks funding for programs not recommended.

(A “Yes” vote is for the funding. A “No” vote is against it.)

Rep. Bradley Jones No Sen. Brendan Crighton Yes $500,000 FOR CUMMINGS SCHOOL OF VETERINARY MEDICINE (H 4800) House 126-24, Senate 29-8, overrode Gov. Baker’s $500,000 veto reduction (from $5.5 million to $5 million) in funding for the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University in North Grafton. Some of the funds would be used to support bioterrorism prevention by studying diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans.

Supporters of spending the $500,000 said that the funding is important to Cummings and its four-year academic programs which offer a degree in veterinary medicine. They noted that the school conducts groundbreaking research that benefits animals and people and

Beacon Hill Roll Call

By Bob Katzen also has hospitals that treat an estimated 28,000 animals annually ranging from cats and dogs to pet rabbits, parrots, iguanas and fish.

In his veto message, Baker said that he reduced the funding to an amount projected to be necessary. Some opponents questioned whether the state should be providing millions of dollars to a private university.

(A «Yes» vote is for spending the $500,000. A «No» vote is against it.)

Rep. Bradley Jones No Sen. Brendan Crighton Yes $150,000 FOR CHILDREN’S ORAL HEALTH (H 4800) House 123-26, Senate 35-1, overrode Gov. Baker’s $150,000 million veto reduction (from $300,000 to $150,000) in funding for the Forsyth Institute’s Center for Children’s Oral Health to expand the Forsyth Kids program focused on children and adolescents and to study the emerging association between oral health status and academic performance.

“The program brings preventive dental care to Massachusetts children of all ages at schools, day care centers, neighborhood facilities, summer camps and public events,” according to Forsyth’s website. “For more than a decade, Forsyth Kids has helped tens of thousands of children throughout Massachusetts receive preventive dental care.”

Supporters of spending the $150,000 said that tooth decay is the most common childhood disease in the U.S. and noted that dental disease can lead to longterm health problems, pain, lack of focus in school, eating and speaking problems and low self-esteem.

In his veto message, Baker said that he reduced the funding to an amount projected to be necessary.

(A «Yes» vote is for spending the $150,000. A «No» vote is against it.)

Rep. Bradley Jones No Sen. Brendan Crighton Yes $250,000 FOR STROKE PROGRAMS (H 4800) House 149-0, Senate 31-5 overrode Gov. Baker’s $250,000 veto reduction (from $500,000 to $250,000)

for stroke treatment and prevention programs including a $100,000 reduction in funding to educate the public on the signs and symptoms of stroke with a focus on communities that have the highest incidence of stroke.

Baker also reduced by $100,000 funding to require all primary stroke service hospitals and emergency medical services’ agencies to report data consistent with nationally recognized guidelines on the treatment of individuals with strokes; and reduced by $50,000 the funding to oversee the operation and administration of designated primary stroke service hospital programs that meet strict guidelines for treating individuals with stroke symptoms.

Supporters of spending the $250,000 said these programs can help prevent strokes and save lives.

In his veto message, Baker said that he reduced the funding to an amount projected to be necessary.

(A «Yes» vote is for spending the $250,000. A «No» vote is against it.)

Rep. Bradley Jones Yes Sen. Brendan Crighton Yes HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers.

They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session.

During the week of August 13-17, the House met for a total of 43 minutes while the Senate met for a total of 46 minutes.

Mon. August 13 House 11:05 a.m. to 11:18 a.m.

Senate 11:02 a.m. to 11:19 a.m.

Tues. August 14 No House session.

No Senate session Wed. August 15 No House session.

No Senate session Thurs. August 16 House 11:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

Senate 11:07 a.m. to 11:36 a.m.

Fri. August 17 No House session No Senate session Bob Katzen welcomes feedback at bob@beaconhillrollcall.com

EXECUTION AND ATTESTATION OF A LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT roper execution and attestation are necessary in order to establish the validity of a Last Will and Testament. A Testator who can write must sign his or her name on the document. A testator who cannot write may make his or her mark or have someone in his or her presence write the testator’s name for him or her, and the attesting clause should, as a matter of caution, recite the manner in which the signature was affixed to the document.

It is not necessary that the testator sign in the presence of witnesses, although it is good practice to have the testator and witnesses sign in each other’s presence. A testator who does not sign in the presence of the witnesses must acknowledge his or her signature to them and must sign before they do.

While a formal declaration by the testator that it is his or her Last Will and Testament is not necessary, it is prudent for the witnesses to understand that it is the testator’s Last Will and Testament that they are signing. The proper place for the signature is at the end of the document. The testator must understand that it is his or her Last Will and Testament he or she is executing and intend that it operate as such.

The statutory requirement is that a Last Will and Testa-

P

ment be attested to by two or more competent witnesses. The witnesses must actually see the testator’s signature or they cannot attest to it. The witnesses must sign after the testator has signed, because they cannot attest to a signature that does not exist yet. If a witness signs before the testator, the Last Will and Testament is void. Both witnesses must sign in the presence of the testator, although it is not necessary that they sign in the presence of one another.

A witness should not be a beneficiary of the Last Will and Testament. Any testamentary gift to a witness or the spouse of a witness is void unless there are two other witnesses to the Last Will and Testament who are not similarly benefitted thereunder or the interested witness establishes that the gift was not inserted and the Last Will and Testament was not signed, as a result of fraud or undue influence by the witness.

Stuart G. Merle, DMD Of Lynnfield, o n Fr i d ay, August 17, 2018. For 47 years, he was the beloved husband of Gale Ann ( Wolman) Merle. Loving father of Jeremy & Jessica Merle of Newton and Andrew & Martha Merle of Wellesley. Adored grandfather of Taylor, Bennett and Violet. Cherished son of Vivian (Ohringer) Merle of FL and the late Sydney Merle. Dear brother of Gordon & Joanne Merle of FL.

Stuart moved to Boston to attend Tufts Dental School, and then back to New York for his pediatric dental residency.

He then returned to the Boston area to establish his two pediatric dental practices in W. Peabody and Lynn. Through the years, he followed the activities of his patients, enjoying semi-annual updates on their lives, well into adulthood.

He established a close relationship with many. His devotion to childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dentistry took him to Israel where he worked in the Dental Volunteers for Israel clinic for several years, treating children from the Jerusalem area and connecting with Israeli culture. Early on in his career, Stuart invested in extensive photography equipment for his dental practice. That developed his love of photography that escalated through the years. His camera bag was with him at all times and his photos in his home and those of others continue to display his keen eye for detail. His photos were chosen to appear in several travel publications. Stuart had wanderlust that took him to many countries and cultures, always recording his adventures through his lens. Some of his favorite adventures were in Israel, India, Russia, Southeast Asia, South America, Morocco, Europe, Croatia, Canada and the west coast of the United States.

Stuart remained active throughout his life, looking forward to his weekly tennis games for male bonding and exercise. He was also a runner, continuing that sport until recently, regardless of where he was in the world. He loved the Red Sox, switching allegiance from that New York team when he moved to Boston. Stuartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest loves were his two sons. His pride in them was unequaled.

He shared the love and pride when they married Jessica (Jeremy) and Martha (Andrew). His greatest smiles came when he was with his three grandchildren. They brought incomparable joy and three new photographic subjects into his life. The literary world is enhanced by the book he wrote for Taylor, entitled, Taylorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Weekly Adventures with Washie, available soon on Amazon.

Stuart will be remembered for his genuine smile, his practical jokes, finding humor in much of life, and his outgoing and gregarious personality. Services held at the Levine Chapels, Brookline on Monday, August 20. Burial in the Or Emet Cemetery, West Roxbury. In lieu of flowers, remembrances may be made to Dental Volunteers for Israel (DVI) http:// dental-dvi.org.il/donate-to-dvi/ Levine Chapels, Brookline 617-277-8300 www. levinechapel.com

Ask the Plumber

Dear Ron, I have a Split Entry home with a laundry room attached to the master bath. My plan is to renovate and enlarge the master bath with a walk in shower and a larger spa type tub. I plan on moving the laundry room to the lower level and have a question about the placement of the washer hookup.

I know plumbing runs under one room to the room above, so here is my question. Can I use a Mechanical Plumbing Air Admittance Vent on the washing machine when it is moved to the lower level? I googled air vents and saw them on line.

Signed, Andrea L. Dear Andrea, To answer your question, Mechanical Plumbing Air Admittance Vents are not legal in the state of Massachusetts.

However during the renovation of the master bath you can tie into the existing vent that runs up through the ceiling or if need be, run the vent up through a wall into the attic and make the tie in there.

Sounds like you have been doing your homework but should you need anything further feel free to call me direct, Ron. Ron Masse is a Master Plumber and the Principal of CRN Plumbing, Heating, Cooling and Electrical (781) Fix-Pipe â&#x20AC;&#x201C; (781) 349-7473 Send your questions to: crnplumbing@gmail.com

How Older People Can Find Clinical Trials Dear Savvy Senior, What can you tell me about clinical trials and how to go about finding one?

Old and Ill Dear Old, Each year, hundreds of thousands of Americans participate in clinical trials in hopes of gaining access to the latest, and possibly greatest, but not yet on the market treatments for all types of illnesses. But, you need to be aware that clinical trials can vary greatly in what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re designed to do, so be careful to choose one that can actually benefits you. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what you should know along with some tips for locating one.

Clinical Trials A clinical trial is the scientific term for a test or research study of a drug, device or medical procedure using people. These trials â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sponsored by drug companies, doctors, hospitals and the federal government â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are conducted to learn whether a new treatment is safe and if it works. But, keep in mind that these new treatments are also unproven, so there may be risks too.

Also be aware that all clinical trials have certain eligibility criteria (age, gender, health status, etc.) that you must meet in order to be accepted. And before taking part in a trial, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be asked to sign an informed consent agreement. You can also leave a study at any time.

Find a Trial Every year, there are more than 100,000 clinical trials conducted in the U.S. You can find them by asking your doctor who may be monitoring trials in his or her specialty.

Or, you can look for them on your own at ClinicalTrials.gov.

This website, sponsored by the National Institutes of Heath, contains a comprehensive database of federally and privately supported clinical studies in the U.S. and abroad on a wide range of diseases and conditions, including information about each trialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s purpose, who may participate, locations, and phone numbers for more details.

If you want some help finding the right trial, try ResearchMatch. org, a web-based resource created by Vanderbilt University that connects willing patients with researchers of clinical trial. Or, use the Center for Information and Study on Clinical Research Participation at CISCRP.org. This is a nonprofit organization that will take your information online or over the phone and do a thorough clinical trials search for you, and mail or email you the results within a week or two. Call 877-633-4376 for assistance.

Those with dementia and their caregivers can also locate clinical trials at the Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association TrialMatch at TrialMatch.alz.org.

Things to Know Before deciding to participate in a trial, you need to first discuss it with your doctor to make sure it is appropriate for you. Then, schedule an appointment with the studyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s medical team and ask lots of questions, such as: Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the purpose of the study and can it improve my condition?

What are the risks?

What kinds of tests and treatments does the study involve, and how often and where they are performed?

Is the experimental treatment in the study being compared with a standard treatment or a placebo?

Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paying for the study? Will I have any costs, and if so, will my insurance plan or Medicare cover the rest?

What if something goes wrong during or after the trial and I need extra medical care? Who pays?

For more information on clinical trials for older adults visit the National Institute on Aging (nia.nih.gov/health/clinicaltrials), which has many informative articles including one on â&#x20AC;&#x153;questions to ask before participating in a clinical trial.â&#x20AC;?

Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Savvy Seniorâ&#x20AC;? book.
