A message from Joseph E. Murphy, chief executive officer

As we say goodbye to a seemingly infinite winter, there is one thing that kept my spirits high throughout the icy cold and snowy conditions: our staff’s commitment to our Mission. From staying overnight, to coming in extra early to driving others to work, the teamwork demonstrated at each campus never fails to amaze me.

Please visit www.facebook.com/ masonicvillages to read heartfelt messages of gratitude from residents and staff.

We experienced extensive damage to landscaping and minor issues in cottages in Elizabethtown, a power outage in Warminster that proved the resilience of our generators and a few power outages that affected the Irem Clubhouse Restaurant and Pub in Dallas. It will take some time to fully recover and embrace spring, but our staff truly deserve a “spring break.” For more details on clean-up in Elizabethtown, read an article by Scott Ruth, landscape manager, on our blog at www.masonicvillages.wordpress.com.

According to Tad Kuntz, orchard supervisor, fluctuations in temperatures cause more damage to fruit buds than a constant cold, so the winter’s deep freeze won’t adversely affect our fruit trees in Elizabethtown. Another silver lining? The cold should have killed many pests, like stink bugs and mosquitoes.

I hope you will consider being a part of the eternal flame monument at the Masonic Village at Elizabethtown. This is a wonderful way to honor a special veteran in your life or all veterans for their dedication and sacrifices. Please see pp. 16-17 for more details about this project, which will be dedicated in our Veterans Grove on Autumn Day, Sept. 20.

New Transitional Care Unit Opens in Elizabethtown Short-term rehabilitation can help you recover from an injury or illness so you can return to doing the things you love as soon as possible.

To provide even more specialized care, the Masonic Village at Elizabethtown has opened a new Transitional Care Unit for short-term rehabilitation in the Masonic Health Care Center (MHCC). The unit includes 20 private and seven semi-private newly renovated suites which form a dedicated transitional unit for people who need rehabilitation, skilled nursing and other supportive care prior to returning home from a hospitalization. Short-term rehabilitation services were previously provided in suites throughout the MHCC. Individuals residing in the MHCC will continue to receive rehabilitation services in the convenience of their neighborhoods.

“Consolidating these services onto one unit with a team of highly trained health care professionals devoted to this expanded level of rehabilitation services allows us to provide enhanced, personalized care,” Beth Bossert, administrator, health care services, said. “Recent renovations make the environment warm and inviting to help people feel at home while they concentrate on their recovery.”

Accommodations in the new transitional care unit include: • flat-screen TV with cable • telephone • refrigerator • wireless internet access • emergency call system, electric lift chairs and beds • country kitchen dining or in-room meals

Professional staff and a full array of medical treatments, services and state-of-the-art therapy equipment and rehab technology assist you on your road to recovery. Receiving rehabilitation services prior to surgery may decrease your recovery process.

Short-term rehabilitation, including physical, speech and occupational therapy, can help you recover from injuries or illnesses that limit your ability to function at your best, such as: orthopedic conditions (including hip fractures), total joint replacement, amputation, strokes, cardiac events (congestive heart failure, heart attack or coronary artery bypass grafting), respiratory conditions, diabetes complications, infections and bariatric care.

“I always heard from people who had been to [Masonic Village] that it was a great place, and my doctor recommended I go there,” said Robert Schlosser, of Elizabethtown, who received short-term rehabilitation services in 2012 and 2013.

“The care was excellent – it couldn’t have been any better.

The staff were very much encouraging. I think it’s a great place. They have the best of everything ... .”

If you or someone you know will be in need of short-term rehabilitation services, please contact one of our admissions counselors at 800-422-1207 prior to hospitalization.

If someone is already in the hospital and needing discharge to sub-acute rehabilitation, it is important that they share with the social worker or discharge planner that they want to come to Masonic Village.

Pickleball The New Game in Town Fitness enthusiast Bob Gerlach, a National Senior Games badminton champion, was looking for a new activity to add to his routine when he discovered Pickleball. A combination of ping pong, tennis and badminton, the sport features two to four players on a badminton-size court using lightweight paddles, a Whiffle ball and a net similar to one used in tennis.

The late U.S. Rep. Joel Pritchard, lieutenant governor of Washington, and two friends devised the sport in the mid 1960s after they couldn’t find a shuttlecock to play badminton. Legend has it, they named the activity after Joel’s dog, Pickles.

“It’s a game for all ages. They’re teaching it in high schools now,” Bob said. “It’s not too strenuous. Your equilibrium should be fairly good in order to play.”

Bob moved to Masonic Village at Elizabethtown in October 2011. In addition to playing badminton, he walks with lightweight poles, known as Nordic walking, around the campus’ more than seven miles of paths. He has influenced several other residents to try it and wanted to do the same with Pickleball.

“One of the great things about Masonic Village,” Bob said, “is you can do things you always thought you’d like to do, but never had the time.”

Bob and fellow resident Nancy Parke, who observed Pickleball during the Lancaster Senior Games, worked with

4

Masonic Village staff to secure use of the Masonic Conference Center - Patton Campus gymnasium. Every Thursday, from 9 to 11 a.m., about two dozen residents gather to play Pickleball.

There are no teams and players rotate in whether they’ve won or lost so everyone has a chance to play. Once the weather is nice, they’ll move outside to the tennis courts.

Aside from Bob, none of the players had any prior Pickleball experience. He invited Shirley Rosenow, of Lititz, an ambassador with the U.S.A. Pickleball Association, to attend a few sessions. Everyone is invited to play during the weekly sessions, paddles are provided and there is no sign-up required.

“I wanted everyone to learn the exact rules so wherever they play, it’s the same,” Bob said. “If you play the right way from the start, you don’t have to correct yourself later. Once everyone learns more, the game will move faster.”

“I never played tennis, but this is fun,” Joyce Yunginger said. “I love it. It’s good exercise and gets you out.”

The Lancaster Senior Games are slated for May 5 to 9.

With all their practice and the training they’ve received, Masonic Village residents are ready to bring home the gold, or at least have fun trying.

Bits and Pieces of Drama Fasano

Drama Fasano, a resident of the Masonic Village at Warminster, has experienced a lot in her life.

She shares her story in bits and pieces of memories. Each bit and piece is filled with details, taking her back to that moment and bringing the listener with her. The sum of her stories makes her the engaging, vibrant woman her family and friends and staff at Masonic Village have come to love.

Drama grew up in Asheville, N.C., an origin that is unmistakable by her Southern drawl. She was finishing business college at the time of the attack on Pearl Harbor. After World War II began, she moved to Washington, D.C., to work for the U.S. Signal Corps. Before the completion of the Pentagon, she and about 4,500 others crowded into an old factory where they made offices out of cardboard boxes.

While working in Washington, D.C., she lived in a big old hotel-turned-boarding house that she nicknamed Goon Castle.

She vividly remembers the woman who collected her rent.

“She always knew when you got paid,” she said. “I have friends who lived there, and we still laugh about it. She was a French woman with tall shoes, long hair, very stern – she looked like a witch. She expected you to pay her right away. She’d put the money down her blouse to store it.”

Drama married Matthew Fasano in 1945. They lived in Philadelphia for a few years before heading back to North Carolina, where she worked as a bookkeeper for an office supply company. The couple has one daughter.

Drama had relatives who lived in Dallas, and before the shooting of President John F. Kennedy, she had planned to visit them in December 1963. A few weeks after the assassination, she went with her family to Dallas and visited the spot where he was shot. “A very surreal experience,” she recalls.

One of her three brothers lived in Tennessee. During a visit to his house on the river in the 1970s, she attended a show in which her brother was playing guitar. The main act? Elvis Presley.

“I talked with him,” Drama said. “He was a nice person. He was dressed so nice with white bell bottoms.”

After Matthew passed away in 1995, Drama lived with her daughter and helped to raise her two grandchildren. She enjoys painting, especially scenery, flowers and birds, and discussing history.

She moved to the Masonic Village at Warminster in 2013, where she loves her daily visits from Rosco the dog, who knows just where she keeps the treats in her closet. She likes taking daily walks and conversing with residents and staff.

“I enjoy my own life,” she said. “I’ve had a great, great life. I couldn’t have asked for a better husband or my three brothers. My family has been very good to me.”

For Your Protection

Staff Spotlight: Deborah Horne Deborah Horne, RHIA, CHCO, medical records coordinator at Masonic Village at Lafayette Hill, is someone you can trust. While it is everyone’s job at Masonic Village to ensure residents’ private health information is protected, Deborah is the one who keeps staff up to date on changes in federal laws.

Deborah recently became a Certified Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Compliance Officer through the American Institute of Healthcare Compliance. It took months of studying, but was worth the effort professionally and personally.

“This certification means I have a valuable skill set and an extensive knowledge of health care privacy and security,” she said.

“It allows me to provide leadership and serve as a resource for HIPAA and Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health [HITECH] Act issues and questions.”

With all the recent changes to HIPAA and the HITECH Act, Deborah’s certification will help keep Masonic Village in compliance and ensure all residents’ health information remains private. She routinely reviews and subscribes to various HIPAArelated publications to learn how the updates and changes apply to Masonic Village. While complex, the laws have an important purpose.

“These laws ensure that the privacy and confidentiality of the resident is protected, and the resident does have the right to control access and disclosure of his/her protected health information,” Deborah said.

Masonic Villages’ core values of caring and serving matched her own and inspired her to apply for a job in the health information management department in 2009. A typical day for her may include attending various meetings and reviewing residents’ records for completeness and for the assignment of the correct diagnostic codes. She serves as a liaison for HIPAA-related issues, as well as interacts with residents and staff on a daily basis.

“The Mission of Love means to me that there is a continuum

of care and concern for the needs of the residents and their families,” Deborah said.

She is actively involved in her church community as a team leader for the greeter’s ministry and enjoys going to movies with her husband. She likes to dance as a form of exercise and is always looking into new exercise routines.

“I am a great believer in maintaining the mind, body and soul both spiritually and physically,” she said.

10 Things to Know About HIPAA

1. HIPAA was enacted in 1996.

2. Health care providers, health care plans and health care clearinghouses must comply with HIPAA. 3. Protected health information (PHI) includes the following and more: o Your name o Street address, city and ZIP code o Phone number o Email address o Birthdate, admission date, etc. o Social security number o Medical record number o Full face photographic image 4. Under HIPAA, your PHI will not be used for purposes other than for treatment, payment and health care operations.

5. PHI can be maintained or transmitted electronically, on paper or by spoken word.

6. There are fines for violating HIPAA laws – both civil and criminal.

7. As outlined in the Notice of Privacy Practices, you have rights under HIPAA to know how your PHI could be used and disclosed and how you can gain access to this information.

8. Masonic Villages’ workforce has all been trained on privacy guidelines, policies and procedures, so your information is protected.

9. It is always good to maintain and organize your own personal health records (PHR).

10. Your PHR should have some of the following (this is not a complete list and depends on the type of health care you have received): Identification sheet, medication record, history, physical results, labs, operative report and discharge summary. Most health care facilities now give you thorough discharge instructions or a summary sheet of your visit.

Keep this information in a file for your personal use.

Beautiful Noise

Resident N. Joyce Miller uses a hearing assistance device with Rev. Tim Reichard, director of pastoral care.

Individuals with partial hearing loss may have trouble talking with friends, hearing a person speak even if the individual is using a microphone, and engaging in events and activities. Fortunately, a recent donation of hearing assistance devices is helping residents of the Masonic Village at Sewickley have more conversations, enjoy more sermons, sing more songs and participate in programs.

“Those who have limited hearing are quick to lose track of what is going on in a conversation or group,” Lynette Gerstel, activities coordinator, said. “They start to isolate themselves from being in group situations.”

Staff first learned of the devices during one of the “In the Moment” programs residents participate in at Carnegie Museum.

For one of the tours, museum staff asked Masonic Village to specifically bring residents with limited hearing to try out their

hearing assistance headphones.

“It was literally tear-jerking,” Lynette said. “Both staff who went cried when residents were responding to the tour and asking questions. It was so amazing to be there at that moment when it brought them back to life!”

At Masonic Village, residents wear headphones which receive all the sounds coming from a small microphone that Rev. Tim Reichard, director of pastoral care, or whoever is leading a program, wears. They are able to individually adjust the volume on their headset to their hearing need. Residents can also use them when families and friends visit.

The devices were purchased thanks to the sons of Betty Lou Jordan, Carl and John, who made a donation in her memory for several items.

“The first Sunday we used them people’s faces lit up because for the first time they were able to hear things very clearly,” Tim said. “They could hear the songs, the sermon and the words spoken during the liturgy. These units have improved the quality of life for residents as it relates to their ability to hear and feel a part of what’s happening in worship. They have made a huge world of difference.”

“Being part of the conversation is quality of life,” Lynette said. “I think a lot of times they didn’t even realize what they were missing. Now they are engaged during groups.”

Elizabethtown Promotes New Directors

Greg Thomas has been named director of food services at Masonic Village at Elizabethtown. He is responsible for the administration, planning, supervision and management of the food services department. He also oversees training, quality improvement and nutrition education programs, as well as all special affairs and banquets.

Greg has served as the culinary services manager at Masonic Village at Elizabethtown since 2011. Previously, he was the director of food services at the Masonic Village at Lafayette Hill and an assistant director of food services for Sodexo.

He attended the Restaurant School at Walnut Hill College in Philadelphia. He is a member of the American Culinary Federation, Association for Healthcare Foodservice and National Restaurant

Association for non-profit organizations. He is ServSafe® certified, a food and beverage safety training program administered by the National Restaurant Association.

Connie Kopp has been named director of risk management at Masonic Village at Elizabethtown. She is responsible for administering risk management and loss prevention programs and reviewing insurance programs to identify risks and provide recommendations for minimizing exposures to losses.

15 Years of Harmony

Music Therapy: A Team Effort

Since 1999, residents of Masonic Village at Elizabethtown have enjoyed the benefits of music therapy, a health care profession in which credentialed staff use music to enhance memory and expression of feelings, and improve an individual’s balance, mobility and communication. It can also alleviate pain and depression, and comfort and support those at the end of life.

The music therapy program has grown from a four-hourper-week pilot program in 1998 to a full-time program led by five board-certified professionals: Ann Dinsmore, Jennifer Hinton and Kimberly Glass, who are dedicated to music therapy; and Angela Junker and Elizabeth Shea, who provide therapeutic recreation and music therapy.

Residents have increasingly participated in the program, from 900 times a month in 1999 to close to 2,300 times a month in 2013. Hundreds of music therapy students from Elizabethtown College have observed or provided programs or completed practicums at Masonic Village.

“We believe there is music in everyone, and we are passionate about finding the right music, at the right time, provided in the right way, to make a difference in the lives of residents, family members, staff and visitors,” Ann, music therapy supervisor, said.

Masonic Village at Sewickley added music therapy to its array of activities in 2007. Led by board-certified music therapist Megan Zulauf, the program provides group and individual sessions, including a monthly intergenerational activity. Megan also hosts interns and job shadowers.

Elizabethtown’s music therapy program is made possible thanks to several key contributors: donors, volunteers and Masonic Village leadership and staff.

It all began with the collaboration of Dr. James Haines, professor

of music at Elizabethtown College; Perry Snyder, a resident who donated funds to start the program; Claudia Stephens, then-director of admissions and resident services and now chief human resources officer; and Ann, who led the program before being hired full-time in 1999.

“It’s unique for a continuing care retirement community to have a full-time music therapy program and one that is separate from the therapeutic recreation department,” Ann said. “We’re not a revenue producer, but we’ve had the support of the organization, which feels our work directly impacts quality of life.

“The connection between music therapy and neuroscience and the benefits for everything from rehabilitation to pain management to end-of-life care to Parkinson’s disease have recently received a lot of media attention, giving our program relevance. We’re seen as a resource to the whole area.”

Donors enable the program to reach more people and use a variety of new equipment and resources. Individual and group donors have provided funds for digital pianos for 10 neighborhoods in the Masonic Health Care Center, drums, chimes and many other instruments. Donations were also used to support grants to hire music therapy students to observe and assist, and in the case of Jennifer and Kimberly, eventually work at Masonic Village.

To provide residents with the most interactive experience, volunteers are needed to help escort residents to sessions and special events and engage them in the music. “Providing a program is one thing, but ensuring residents take part is another,” Ann said. “We couldn’t do it without volunteers.”

After reviewing evidence that people with dementia respond positively to music, Kirk Rakos, therapeutic recreation supervisor, filled two vacant recreation therapist positions with board-certified music therapists who were trained to provide therapeutic recreation.

Village Voice

“We’re lucky to have donors and benefactors and blessed to have volunteers and support from other departments. The stars aligned to make it successful,” Ann said. “We’re at a point where we can prove what we do is successful. And we’ve just scratched the surface.”

Staff and residents will celebrate 15 years of music therapy at a special concert on Tuesday, May 20. The theme, “Keepers of the Song,” recognizes that every person’s life is a song. Music therapy tries to keep people connected to their songs so they can make music as long as possible.

A New Lease on Life For 18 years, Kurt Linhart endured a host of mysterious symptoms which affected his ability to focus, run his business, exercise, play with his son and daughter, and eventually walk and use his arms. With a recent diagnosis of Lyme disease and a plan for recovery, he is ready to take his life back and help others along the way.

“I had cloudiness in my head, vertigo, ringing in my ears, a stiff neck, urinary tract infection, urosepsis, swelling in joints, tiredness and pain,” he said. “The worst for me was when I couldn’t play sports with my kids. They were very athletic.

They grew up – and the impact it has caused on my life – it was pretty terrible. My wife more or less had to do everything for me. I couldn’t talk or write or think straight.”

He first noticed the symptoms about a month after accidentally being exposed to a nest of what he thought were mites – but in hindsight were probably deer ticks. Several raised, itchy circles appeared on his back and shoulders, followed by the array of other conditions. His doctors initially diagnosed him with multiple sclerosis (MS) and prescribed a treatment which offered no relief. He drove to see different doctors all over the state and tried high-price therapies and vitamins.

One day three years ago, Kurt’s wife was talking with the oil delivery man, and he shared that he had Lyme disease. As the man described his symptoms, she realized they were very similar to her husband’s. Kurt connected with a specialist, who in just a few minutes diagnosed Kurt over the phone with Lyme disease.

“I asked him, ‘You mean to tell me all those doctors and thousands of miles and no one could tell me what you told me in minutes? I find that hard to believe,’” Kurt said. “But he said some doctors don’t know about Lyme disease.”

Kurt began receiving IV treatments, and his doctor referred him to Rita Rhoads Martinez Reed, MPH, CRNP, CNM, owner of Integrative Health Consults and founder of Birth Care and Family Health Services, who continues to help Kurt manage his symptoms.

“I felt like I was getting my life back,” he said. “I thank God every day.”

He moved to the Masonic Village at Elizabethtown in June where he is receiving rehabilitation services to move his arms, stretch, build muscle and, hopefully, one day walk again. His

mother and father lived at Masonic Village. He also has a good friend who is a Mason, and he plans to join the fraternity.

“The staff push you the right amount,” he said. “They do so much good here. There are nothing but nice people, and the food is so good. It’s fantastic.”

To save others from the horrors he experienced, Kurt and Rita combined their expertise to present “Tick Soup – Lyme Diagnosis and Treatment” in December at the Masonic Village at Elizabethtown. The presentation provided an overview of Lyme disease from symptoms and diagnosis to the treatment and recovery. You can view a video of the presentation online at www.masonicvillages.org/elizabethtown under What’s Happening.

“The effects of Lyme disease are so inhumane, and it has to be brought out,” Kurt said. “What you go through with this is terrible. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.”

Northeastern states suffer from some of the highest rates of Lyme disease in the United States. With symptoms that mimic other disorders, this bacterial infection transmitted by ticks can go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed for years.

According to the Centers for Disease Control (www.cdc.gov), Lyme disease symptoms may include:

Early Localized Stage

(three to 30 days post-tick bite)

• Red, expanding rash called erythema migrans (EM) or bull’s-eye rash • Fatigue, chills, fever, headache, muscle and joint aches and swollen lymph nodes

Early Disseminated Stage

(days to weeks post-tick bite)

Untreated, Lyme disease may spread from the location of the bite to other parts of the body, causing: • Additional EM lesions in other areas of the body • Facial or Bell’s palsy (loss of muscle tone on one or both sides of the face) • Severe headaches and neck stiffness due to meningitis (inflammation of the spinal cord) • Pain and swelling in the large joints (such as knees) • Shooting pains that may interfere with sleep • Heart palpitations and dizziness due to changes in heartbeat

Health Update

by J. Kenneth Brubaker, M.D., C.M.D., medical director, Masonic Village at Elizabethtown

Continuum of Care - What It Means for Your Health The term “continuum of care” is normally applied to how individuals receive medical care in their communities. An effective health care system that provides excellent continuity of medical care means there is a high level of communication among all health care providers. Most importantly, the consumer is informed of his or her medical problems and understands the recommendations for appropriate treatments.

Presently, many health care systems have limited communication among their providers. This frequently results in consumers confused about their diagnoses and treatment plans.

Even if the providers have electronic medical records (EMRs), technology incompatibility can limit communication. The lack of good continuum of health care can frequently lead to medical errors and misinformation to patients.

Physicians, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the Office of Inspector General and the Institute of Medicine have been trying to raise the standard of medical care which can improve the continuum of care.

The United States ranks in the mid 20s when comparing quality measures established by the World Health Organization (WHO) with other countries throughout the world, yet more than 17 percent of our gross national product (GNP) is spent on health care. By contrast, European countries and Japan spend between 9 to 11 percent of their GNP on health care, but the WHO ranks these countries higher than the United States in meeting quality measures. Clearly, spending more money in health care doesn’t guarantee better care.

Holding Hospitals Accountable

CMS is placing more emphasis on improving communication in the continuum of care. Hospitals are expected to be more intentional in safely discharging patients to home, to rehabilitation institutions and/or to skilled nursing facilities. This includes scheduling an appointment with the discharged patient’s primary care provider (PCP). For institutions that communicate by EMRs, all of the hospital’s information, such as lab tests, X-ray reports, consultant reports and discharge summaries, is already available to the patient’s PCPs before the appointment. Hospitals have assigned staff to call the discharged patients several days after discharge to

14

assure everything is satisfactory. If the patient appears to have any problems, staff will contact his or her PCP to follow up.

To motivate hospitals to follow up with their discharged patients, CMS has recently imposed financial penalties for hospitals that frequently re-admit recently discharged patients.

In this situation, the hospital’s change in behavior improves the continuum of care and reduces the readmission rate.

To improve the continuum of your care:

1.

Keep an up-to-date list of all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter medications.

2. Always take your list of medications with you when seeing a health care provider, and include the reason why you are taking each medication. If you don’t know why, ask your doctor.

3. Always write down your questions before going to your doctor’s office so that you don’t forget to ask.

4. Older adults should take their spouse, adult child or close friend with them when seeing their physician. Frequently, there is a lot of information shared with the patient that can be easily forgotten. Four ears are better than two. Ask your family member or friend to take notes while the physician is speaking.

If recommendations by the physician aren’t clear, your family member or friend can ask additional questions.

5. Since more providers use EMRs, don’t hesitate to request a copy of the recommendations.

6. If you are unsure about your physician’s recommendations after leaving your appointment, call the office for clarification. Ask to speak with your physician’s nurse. If the nurse doesn’t know the answer, he or she will check with your physician before calling you back.

7. Remember to always inform your PCP of the other physicians you are seeing and the reasons why.

Effective continuum of care requires well-coordinated health care among all providers. Participating in a health care system that values an effective continuum of care will enable you to experience improved quality of care. Research continues to demonstrate that health care systems which are able to share medical information electronically also can improve the quality of care and reduce the cost of your medical care.

Going Mobile with Mobile Devices

Cell phones and tablets are sometimes referred to as “mobile devices.” One obvious interpretation of this is that they are both small enough to be picked up and moved around with ease and also largely unhindered by cords or cables. There is, however, another connotation that is often overlooked: mobile devices are mobile on a larger scale. They can travel with you, even on vacations or long-distance trips.

Furthermore, they offer advantages beyond simply being able to make and receive phone calls, read your e-books or surf the Internet wherever you go (assuming adequate network coverage, of course).

Smartphones, tablets and many e-book readers allow you to install programs of your choice called “apps,” which is short for “applications.” There are countless apps available for most devices, and their uses range from the mindlessly entertaining to the practical and utilitarian.

Most smartphones and tablets come with some good mapping apps pre-installed. These apps generally interface with the Global Positioning System (GPS) built directly into your phone or data-connected tablet, and can show you a map of where you are, where you want to go and turn-byturn directions on how to get there. Most apps that provide driving directions come with a computerized voice that will read the directions out loud, so that you can safely use it while driving. Remember: Don’t read or use your phone or tablet while driving!

There is a lot you can do with just the Internet while traveling, such as searching for nearby restaurants, complete with reviews and menus. Some apps make these tasks even

more convenient. Whether you run an app that allows you to find movie theaters and show times and buy tickets before you even arrive (Fandango), or an app that interfaces with popular user review websites (such as Yelp or Urbanspoon), mobile devices can make it easier to find places to go and things to see.

It doesn’t stop at just finding places. New uses for apps are being created all the time, and virtual tours are starting to make their way into mainstream use. Apps like the new Field Trip will track where you are and pop up relevant information as you near points of interest, whether it is a historic location, unique example of architecture or a restaurant around the corner that has received some favorable reviews.

These applications can transform mobile devices from being just a convenience you lug along with you on trips to a method of actively improving the quality of your vacations.

Loading up on useful mobile apps won’t guarantee every meal you eat on vacation will be great, you’ll never be bored or even that you won’t get lost along the way, but it can cut down on the chances of any of those things happening. However you choose to use apps, remember to drive safely!

In Thanks For Their Service

It is so easy to take our freedoms for granted … and yet, it is important to remember that our liberties weren’t free, and they continue to take a toll on the lives of our military, our veterans and their families. These brave, selfless men and women give up years of their lives … and some never come home. They sacrifice their security to protect us, miss time with their loved ones so our lives can continue uninterrupted and endure extreme hardships so we can pursue the American dream.

In light of their strength and dedication, “thank you” may seem so inadequate. Here is your chance to express your appreciation for eternity.

An eternal flame monument will be installed at the Veterans Grove at the Masonic Village at Elizabethtown and dedicated on Autumn Day, Sept. 20, 2014, at 11 a.m. This eternal flame will serve as a 24-hour-a-day, 365-day-a-year tribute and symbol of gratitude to the brave service men and women who preserve our freedom, including those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice.

The monument will stand 8’ 8 1/4” tall and 6’ 6 3/4” wide.

A plaque on the front of the eternal flame will state: “This Eternal Flame Dedicated September 20, 2014 Honors All Active Military and Veterans. All Gave Some - Some Gave All.”

16

Help create and maintain the eternal flame and construct the pathways around the monument. For those who would like to honor or remember a beloved veteran, 468 pavers (size 12” x 18”) around the eternal flame can be inscribed with a special message for a $500 donation. Additionally, 1,104 pavers (size 8” x 12”) leading to and around the monument can be inscribed for a $250 donation. Contributions to the Masonic Charities are tax-deductible to the extent of the law.

Supporters not wishing to give a gift for a paver may still be part of this eternal flame tribute with any size gift. Any funding received above what is needed for the preservation of the Veterans Grove will be used to fund special programming at our Masonic Villages for veterans on Memorial Day and Veterans Day. Don’t miss the unique opportunity to become a part of this meaningful tribute for posterity. Reservations for pavers will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. All orders for a paver must be received no later than May 15 to guarantee installation for the dedication on Sept. 20. You may also contact the Office of Gift Planning at 800-599-6454 or visit www.MasonicCharitiesPa.org to make a gift.

Welcoming

Masonic Villages One Masonic Drive Elizabethtown, PA 17022

2014

We may be well into 2014, but the celebrations are still fresh in our memories. Residents across the state ushered in the New Year in grand style with bands, dances, balloons, bubbly beverages and, of course, good company!

In Lafayatte Hill, the Mummers All Stars helped ring in the New Year. Right, Nona Chern, James Heidler and others, and Charles and Norma Leis.

Residents in Elizabethtown couldn’t wait to welcome in the New Year, so they started the celebration in the afternoon!

After a toast, people took to the dance floor. Right, Larry Hess with Jennifer Hinton, music therapist, and Tamerly Bell, recreation therapist, with Teresa Herr.

Sewickley residents celebrated into the night with dinner, live entertainment, dancing, door prizes and a money balloon drop. Right, John and May Daniels, and dancers.

Fresh Spring Produce Local Asparagus, Southern Strawberries, Pansies, Primrose, Perennials, Crisp and Juicy Home-Grown Apples, Spinach, Broccoli, Salad Greens & Sugar Peas Local tomatoes starting early May, local strawberries starting mid-May Hours: Mon. - Sat., 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
