n May, we pay tribute to our mothers and our nation’s war dead, but did you know that May is also Older American’s Month?

The theme for 2018, as announced by the Administration on Aging, is Engage at Every Age. The thought here is that you’re never too old (or too young) to take part in activities that can enrich your physical, mental and emotional well-being.

The U.S. life expectancy has lengthened significantly in the last few decades thanks to advances in medicine and technology, improved health care, an emphasis on diet and fitness, and reductions in smoking.

According to the American Psychological Association’s Office on Aging, today’s life expectancy is 84.3 years for men and 86.6 for women.

The number of Americans over age 85 is increasing faster than any other age group.

One out of every four 65-year-olds today will live past age 90; one in 10 will live past age 95.

Of course, the proportion of older adults living by themselves increases with advancing age. Among women aged 75 and over, almost half live alone.

Many folks believe that moving to a nursing facility is inevitable as we grow older but in reality, only about 13 percent of persons 85 and older reside in nursing homes. (apa.org/pi/aging/resources/guides/older. aspx) While the extension of life expectancy is great, we want to make sure those extra years are healthy ones, not ones spent in ill health.

So remember to exercise to maintain and improve strength, flexibility and cardiovascular fitness. Lead a healthy lifestyle and see a doctor for any changes or concerns about your physical and mental health.

Keep up with the news of the day as well as new technological advances. Take advantage of your community’s cultural events. Stay connected socially.

Share your wisdom with the next generation -- many of them are in great need of love and guidance.

Remain passionate about life.

Make the world a better place.

Blaze a trail.

Engage at every age.

Then take a selfie!

Director of Advertising

Take a Selfie!

Take a selfie of you (and your family or friends if appropriate) engaging with the world. Whether you recently learned how to skydive or swing dance, or spent time mentoring a child after school, we want to hear about it – and see your faces too.

We are also looking for stories about special fathers for our June edition, whether it be your own papa or a guy you know that just has it all together in the Dad department.

Extraordinary Moms, Then and Now

By KATHy MEGyERI Each of us treasure our own special mothers who gave us life and so much more, but there are some mothers who nurtured not only their own children, but the world’s.

On this Mother’s Day, 2018, we take a look at some of these remarkable ladies.

Ann Maria Jarvis is the First Mother of Mother’s Day. She bore between 11 and 13 children, but only four survived to adulthood.

In 1858, she began Mother’s Day Work Clubs to combat childhood diseases and improve sanitation. She also nursed soldiers on both sides of the Civil War as a symbol of neutrality. After the war, Jarvis organized a “Mother’s Friendship Day” to help curtail post-war hostilities. Following her death, her daughter, Anna Jarvis, made it her mission to get Mother’s Day recognized as a holiday. In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson signed the proclamation and made it official.

Irena Sendler, a mother of three, smuggled almost 2,500 Jewish children out of Warsaw’s ghetto during World War II, provided them with false identity papers, and sheltered them with adoptive Polish families or in care facilities. As a social worker, Sendler gained access to the Warsaw ghetto to check for typhus, a disease that the Germans feared would spread beyond the ghetto. Under the guise of inspecting sanitary conditions, she smuggled out babies and small children, hiding them in packages and suitcases. She once said, “Every child saved with my help is the justification of my existence on this Earth, and not a title to glory.”

Lou Xiaoying has been praised in China for saving more than 30 abandoned babies found in the trash. In 1972, she was making a meager living by recycling rubbish when she discovered the first child lying in garbage. She kept and raised some of the children she found over the years; others were passed on to relatives and friends.

Many of the babies abandoned on the streets by poor parents were the victims of China’s one child policy. She said, “I realized if we had strength enough to collect garbage, how could we not recycle something as important as human lives?”

Julia Ward Howe wrote the first Mother’s Day proclamation in 1870 asking women everywhere to join for world peace, a pacifist reaction to the carnage of the Civil and the Franco-Prussian wars. Married to the founder of the Perkins School for the Blind, she bore six children. She was an abolitionist, feminist, poet and women’s suffrage activist but is best known for writing the Battle Hymn of the Republic.

Kathy Headlee Miner is the mother of 7 children, 2 stepchildren and founder of Mothers Without Borders. The nonprofit organization focuses on work in Africa where they care for orphaned and vulnerable children, provide safe shelter, food and clean water. Adult caregivers are offered literacy and business skills training.

Miner has also organized and implemented community development projects in Romania, Mexico, India, Indonesia and Bolivia.

Candy Lightner founded Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) in 1980 after a drunk driver killed her 13-year-old daughter, Cari.

Before that, drunk drivers injured her two other children in separate accidents; her son suffered permanent brain damage. She rallied mothers across the country to help lobby for legislation that would prevent drunk driving deaths and injuries and curb underage drinking.

Theresa Kachindamoto, the paramount chief to over 900,000 Malawian people and mother of five boys, has greatly improved the lives of Malawi’s youth. Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world with an HIV infection rate of 10 percent. A United Nations study found that more than half of the country’s women are married before the age of 18, and girls as young as 7 were sent to sexual initiation camps. In just three years, the chief annulled over 850 child marriages, encouraged girls to go to school, and made the community healthier in the process.

FORGETFULNESS: Normal or Not? Many people become more forgetful as they age. How can you tell the difference between mild forgetfulness and serious memory problems like Alzheimer’s disease?

Talk with your doctor if you notice you have more serious memory problems than normal. – National Institute on Aging

What’s typical and what’s not: NORMAL AGING • Making a bad decision once in a while • Missing a monthly payment • Forgetting which day it is and remembering later • Sometimes forgetting which word to use • Losing things from time to time ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE • Making poor judgements and decisions a lot of the time • Problems taking care of monthly bills • Losing track of the date or time of year • Trouble having a conversation • Misplacing things often and being unable to find them

eaturing a striking resemblance to a manatee despite a strict water-and-lettuce diet, Clearwater writer Doug Kelly decided to enter the U.S. presidential race two years early. He was inspired by support from both a local bartender and a hitchhiking catheter salesman.

“It’s time for someone to stand on his or her record, and if you had a record like mine, you’d want to cover it firmly with both feet,” said Kelly, whose third book, I’d Have to Be an Idiot to Write Another Book, is selling like cold cakes.

After stating that he will avoid any kind of political pandering, Kelly said he will be running on the “Republicrat” ticket which features plaid as its color theme.

Kelly, who was recently described by Mechanix Illustrated as “an extreme moderate,” offered the following platform: NATIONAL DEBT – “I’ll reduce the $21 trillion ($21,000,000,000,000) national debt by eliminating all 12 zeros. After all, if a zero is nothing, who will miss it?

RUNNING MATE – “If you’re wealthy, well connected, physically fit, possess a vast intellect and a rare grasp of logic, get in touch before I ask Oprah.”

EDUCATION – “Everyone will have to earn a degree. It’s done wonders for me ever since I received my middle school equivalency diploma—now I’m a successful thousandaire.”

A paid nonpolitical ad, authorized by Doug Kelly and not approved by his treasurer, who recently fled to Bolivia.

National Pet Week

For the Love of Pets

By JENNA LEE REEVES

F

rom the moment we first lay eyes on them, to the last, sad goodbye, our pets supply us with unconditional love and happiness. In honor of National Pet Week, May 6–12, here are 10 tips to help you give your pet all the love, happiness and good health they deserve.

1. Give careful thought and consideration to the type of pet you select, making sure it is compatible with your home, lifestyle and budget.

Consider adopting an older shelter pet. Once you’ve chosen your new best friend, commit for life.

2. When you welcome a pet into your home, schedule a visit to the veterinarian for a wellness check, required vaccinations, and flea and tick control products. Continue with regular checkups.Make sure to get a sick or injured pet the care it needs as soon as possible.

3. Keep your pet at a healthy weight and avoid table scraps – many foods humans enjoy can be unhealthy or toxic for animals.

4. Always keep a collar on your pet with its name and your phone number.

Consider microchipping. Keep your pet safely confined to its own yard with available shade and water.

5. Spay or neuter so as to not contribute to the pet overpopulation problem. If you choose to breed your pet, do it through managed breeding practices.

6. Give your pet plenty of love, attention and opportunities to exercise their minds and body.

If you are gone all day, consider adopting a companion for your pet. Playhouses, indoor climbing “trees,” and laser pointers will help keep cats active. Most dogs love a trip to the dog beach or dog park, obedience and agility classes, frisbee and ball games, and swimming in a pool.

Both dogs and cats enjoy learning new tricks

and playing “hide and seek” with healthy treats.

7. Dogs should be walked at least 30 minutes a day, and only in the early morning or evening hours during hot summer weather. Consider an enclosed outdoor run for your feline friends – the internet has a host of creative ideas.

8. Consult a trained professional if your dog exhibits aggression, anxiety or other behavioral problems.

9. Always have a plan for a loving caretaker to look after your pet should something happen to you.

10.When the end of life is near, consult your veterinarian about quality of life issues so you can make the best decision at the right time.

FINAL PHASE NOW SELLING DON’T MISS OUT!

Paperclip: Don’t Leave Home Without It I do not have an American Express card so in my case, “don’t leave home without it,” applies to a paperclip, one of the most amazing tools ever invented.

I always have one in my pocket.

Originally intended to clip together papers, it has proven to be a versatile little implement, capable of being transformed into an impromptu tie clip, hem holder or small slingshot for shooting spit-wads at a cute little gal in a classroom.

(They don’t call me Mr. Debonair for nothing!)

Developed in the 19th century, the paperclip’s machine aesthetic, low cost and utilitarian nature have made it withstand the test of time.

So much so, that May 29th has been coronated National Paperclip Day. A paperclip can be used for picking locks, picking teeth, opening handcuffs and as an emergency roach clip holder for hippies – not that I have any personal knowledge of such things.

It can keep you from getting lost, too. Straighten one out, magnetize it, stick it through a cork and float on water – it becomes a compass, always pointing north.

Of course, if you are lost, what are the chances you have a cork on

hand?

I have found them useful to clip notes to my shirt to remind me of important things such as meeting the deadline for this column or to feed the dog.

In my younger years, I formed them into going-steady, engagement and wedding rings. This is how I knew that my bride married me for me and not for any presumed wealth.

I know too that one day, should I be called upon to perform an emergency tracheotomy, I can quickly save a life and be a hero like MacGyver.

By now, you must be wondering how you can get involved and celebrate National Paperclip Day. Well, you can festively decorate a tree or your own hair with an assortment of the colorful clips. It’s also a tradition on this day to return all the paperclips you’ve inadvertently stolen from your workplace. You’ll find them in the little piles on your dresser where you’ve emptied your pants pockets or purse of coins, gum wrappers, McDonald’s receipts and other assorted items.

I’m wondering if there is a National Gum Wrapper Day?

If you’ve enjoyed this story, please paperclip a thank you card to an email and forward it to me at micwrighthamo@gmail.com It will make my day and I promise to reuse the paperclip in the future.

Recipe

Florida Fresh: Catch, Slice and Grill

By KATHy MEGyERI

C

elebrate May with this recipe that combines food from the land and sea: fresh caught fish and Florida oranges. In May, oranges are still in season so they are tasty, economical and brimming with peak nutritional value. Pair them with your favorite fresh-caught fish such as grouper, snapper, snook, mahi mahi, mackerel, trout or sea bass. Cilantro and mint add extra zest, but it’s those juicy Florida oranges that make this dish really “sing.”

Grilled Fish with Citrus Slices

Basic Ingredients: oil fish salt and pepper sliced oranges fresh herbs such as cilantro, basil or mint flavored butter (see below) Orange-Herb Butter Mash together one stick unsalted butter 1/2 tsp. grated orange zest 2 tsp. fresh orange juice 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper 1 clove garlic, minced 2 Tbsp. chopped cilantro 1/2 tsp. coarse salt

Directions: • Set up the grill for indirect cooking and heat to medium-high. Clean and lightly oil the hot grill.

• Season fish with salt and pepper.

• Arrange sliced citrus on cooler side of grill and top with some fresh herbs and the fish. Dab the flavored butter on the fish.

• Cover and cook until fish is opaque in the center. There is no need to turn it. Leave fish on the grill for 20-30 minutes.

• Place on grill or grill basket over direct heat and cook for 10 minutes, turning regularly. Brush with olive oil to keep moist if necessary.

• Cook for additional 10 minutes over indirect heat. When meat is cooked through and no longer pink, remove from grill and serve.

Social Security also protects wounded veterans when an injury prevents them from returning to active duty or performing other work. Wounded military service members can also receive expedited processing of their Social Security disability claims. Depending on the situation, some family members of military personnel may be eligible to receive Social Security benefits too. You can get answers to commonly asked questions at socialsecurity.gov/woundedwarriors.

Service members can also receive Social Security in addition to military retirement benefits. Generally, these military retirement benefits do not reduce your Social Security retirement benefit. Learn more about retirement benefits at socialsecurity. gov/retirement.

You may also want to visit the Military Service page of the Retirement Planner, available at socialsecurity.gov/planners/retire/veterans.html.

Service members are also eligible for Medicare at age 65. If you have health insurance from the VA or under the TRICARE or CHAMPVA programs, your health benefits may change, or end, when you become eligible for Medicare. Learn more about Medicare benefits at socialsecurity.gov/medicare.

A Mother’s Day Wish

I

’m currently in a downsizing phase. My fantasy is to live the rest of my days ready for a trip to Paris – or an emergency hurricane evacuation – and not have to choose what to take with me. If I’m successful, everything I own

will fit in one suitcase, preferably a carry-on bag.

Therefore, I’m going to pen this preemptive note to my family, hoping to stave off unwanted gifts.

And I mean this in a very loving way.

PET/CT

COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT— EFFECTIVE TREATMENT BEGINS WITH THE RIGHT DIAGNOSIS Cognitive impairment has different causes and responds to specific treatments, making an accurate diagnosis vitally important. An estimated 20% of people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease have been incorrectly diagnosed, meaning they have likely been given the wrong treatment for their problem.

RAO’s Board Certified and fellowship-trained radiologists subspecialize in PET/CT imaging, which combines two important tests in one scan, helping your radiologist rule out Alzheimer’s when it is not the cause of cognitive impairment, and provide an accurate diagnosis, so appropriate treatment can begin.

A PET/CT scan from RAO provides more than information – it can give you peace of mind.

PET/CT – Uniting Two Important Tests to Deliver a World of Information W hen both the physical and functional details of an organ or system are needed for an accurate diagnosis, it used to demand two separate tests, Positron Emission Tomography, or PET, a nuclear medicine that measures metabolic activity within the body, and Computed Tomography, or CT, an advanced x-ray system that delivers nearly 3-D images of the area being investigated. PET delivers extensive information about elements like oxygen use, blood flow and glucose metabolism as they relate to organ and tissue function. “PET is especially helpful in diagnosing certain types of cancers and eliminating Alzheimer’s disease as a cause of cognitive impairment,” says Dr. Malcolm Williamson, a specialist in diagnostic radiology and neuroradiology. “CT compliments that information by capturing a rapid succession of multiple images for impressively detailed views of lesions, precancers, tumors, injuries and other abnormalities.”

Advances in technology now enable both tests to be performed at once for greater accuracy than when performed separately, not to mention greater convenience for the patient.

“PET/CT harmonizes anatomic details with physiologic information to help us pinpoint metabolic abnormalities

and the location of disease,” says Dr. Fredric Wollett, who specializes in diagnostic radiology, nuclear medicine and breast imaging. “We can also use PET/CT to help stage and monitor the success of treatments for diseases like breast, colon and lung cancer, along with many others.”

Always at the forefront of the most advanced technologies, RAO utilizes the renowned Siemen’s biograph PET/CT, which promotes accurate diagnoses and quicker localization of disease. “PET/CT helps us capture pre-cancerous and cancerous cells throughout the body, including the lungs, colon, lymph nodes, ovaries, testicles, and a wide range of other organs and systems,” says Dr. Ralf Barckhausen, who specializes in diagnostic radiology and neuroradiology. “We also use PET/CT to distinguish Alzheimer’s from other diseases causing cognitive problems.

Since more than 20% of cognitive impairment cases are misdiagnosed as Alzheimer’s, many patients receive the wrong treatment. Because cognitive impairment problems respond favorably to the right therapies, it’s my medical opinion that many people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s should undergo a PET/CT scan to ensure the diagnosis was accurate.”

RAO’s team of Board Certified radiologists includes nine PET/CT specialists and the area’s only 16-slice PET/CT scanner with the newest LSO crystal, providing state-of-the-art speed and precision. RAO’s reputation, experience and accuracy have made RAO a local leader in diagnostic imaging for 45 years and counting.
