Classes are available for ages three through adult. Preregistration is required for ages three through sixth grade. Register at Hinkletown.org.

“Wonder Junction” is an Old West themed Vacation Bible School adventure that will teach kids about who Jesus is as they marvel at his birth, his childhood, his ministry, his death and resurrection, and his coming return. It’s all about Jesus

and the call for kids to live for his glory.

Kids will find answers to many questions, such as: What amazing events surrounded his birth? Is Jesus God or man—or both? Could Jesus experience pain and sadness? What should we be doing while we wait for the King to return? It’s a wild ride designed to help kids better know Jesus, what he did for them, and how they should respond.

Was mir duhn mit Haar zwische drin is net schpassich: Der Weg as deel rumlaafe is net recht basslich!

Nadierliche Haar sin brau, schwatz, rot adder gehl. Wann Leit sie verennere, halde deel’s hehl. Wann lang genunk lebscht, grickscht grohe adder weisse. Wann en anri Fareb hoscht, bischt am bscheisse.

Glickliche hen hadierlich grolliche Haar: Was unglickliche duh kenne is wunnerbaar!

Wann mer schtracke hen, brieche sie net so bleiwe. Es sin Bletz wu Leit Haar verennre dreiwe.

Es sin net yuscht Weibsleit as schtolz sin mit ihr Haar: Heit sehne mir aa Mannsleit mit Grolle galaar. Es sin aa gwehnlich as ihr Bart waxe losse. Es wunnert mich, wie’s schpiert so eener bosse!

HAIR

Each enters this world bald or with hair. It’s true, all leave the same way. What some folks do with their hair isn’t funny. The way they walk around is inappropriate. - Natural hair are brown, black, red or blonde. Some change their hair secretly. Most old people’s hair turn gray or white. If not, most likely they’re dyed. - People with naturally curly hair are lucky. The unlucky ones have a way to have curls too. Having straight hair doesn’t mean they must stay straight. Hairdressers can remedy that. - Not only women are vain about their hair. One sees men with artificial curls. Some also grow beards. I’m curious what it’s like to kiss a bearded man! - To lose one’s hair is no calamity. Both men and women can buy wigs. Sometimes I fail to recognize people wearing wigs. I can’t tell if they are friends or strangers. - I certainly am not ashamed of my gray hair. They are appropriate for an old lady. ***

DIE ANNA VUN BANNWILL wrote on May 9, 1987 that her mother never had her hair cut nor ever entered a beauty parlor.

Three Fun, Healthy And Effective Outdoor Exercises For Seniors

The benefits of spending time in the great outdoors are significant. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, spending time outdoors may improve mental health and help to reduce stress, and the vitamin D the body absorbs while outside can have a positive effect on blood cells and the immune system.

Seniors can benefit from the great outdoors as much as anyone. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium, which strengthens bones. That’s especially beneficial for seniors, as the National Council on Aging notes that bone density often decreases after age 50, which can increase the risk of fractures. That’s especially so in women over the age of 50, as a 2021 report from Amgen, Inc., indicated women can lose up to 20 percent of their bone density within five to seven years of menopause.

Spending time in the great

outdoors also provides a social benefit, encouraging individuals from all walks of life, including seniors, to get out of their homes and spend time with other people. With so much to gain from spending time outside,

seniors can consider these three outdoor exercises as they seek to maintain or improve their overall health.

1. Walking: Walking is free and effective. In fact, WebMD notes that a brisk 30-minute walk can improve

blood flow, contribute to a stronger heart, strengthen bones, and even help people sleep better at night.

In addition, a 2022 study published in the journal JAMA Neurology found that people between the ages of

40 and 79 who walked about 9,800 steps per day were 51 percent less likely to develop dementia than people who didn’t walk much at all.

2. Cycling: Riding a bike is both fun and a great form of outdoor exercise. Though many studies regarding the health effects of cycling have looked at the value of riding a bike to work, a scenario that does not apply to retirees, the results of such studies still offer insight into just how valuable it can be to ride a bike. For example, a 2020 study published in the journal The Lancet found that people who cycled to work were 24

percent less likely to die of heart disease and 11 percent less likely to develop cancer. Seniors, whether they are still working or retired, can incorporate cycling into their daily routines and enjoy all the fun and health benefits that riding a bike provides.

3. Hiking: Hiking is a bit more strenuous than walking, particularly when individuals choose to traverse steep and/or rocky terrain. WebMD notes that hiking after age 60 can help people reduce their risk of falls and fractures; lower their risk for a host of ailments, including coronary heart disease, colon cancer and diabetes; reduce blood pressure, even in adults who have already been diagnosed with hypertension; and maintain healthy bones and joints. Hiking is not a one-size-fits-all activity, so seniors, especially those who would characterize themselves as novice hikers, are urged to speak with their physicians prior to hiking trails that are not flat.

Seniors can consider these three fun activities and others as they answer the call of the great outdoors. Walking, cycling and hiking offer a great reason to get out of the house and reap the health-related benefits of spending time outside.

What Is Parkinson’s Disease?

Who hasn’t tapped fingers on a desk with anxiety or shook a leg under a table awaiting some sort of news? These motor impulses may seem involuntary, but they largely are under the control of the individual. For a portion of the population, fidgeting and tremors are out of their control, and are hallmarks of a movement disorder called Parkinson’s disease.

The Parkinson’s Foundation says Parkinson’s disease (PD) affects 10 million people worldwide. PD is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that predominantly affects the dopamine-producing neurons in an area of the brain called the substantial nigra. Since PD affects the nervous system, various

parts of the body controlled by nerves can be impacted by the disease. Symptoms often start slowly and may be virtually undetectable to the average person. The Mayo Clinic says the first symptoms may be a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand. Stiffness or slowing of movement also can be an early marker of the disease. Some people with PD may begin to have expressionless faces and speech may become soft or slurred. Symptoms worsen as the condition progresses.

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke identify these four primary symptoms of PD, though it should be noted that everyone experiences symptoms differently.

• Tremor: Shaking often begins in a hand, although a foot or the jaw may be first affected. One tremor characteristic of PD is a rhythmic back-and-forth motion that may involve the thumb and

forefinger and appear as “pill rolling.” It is most obvious when the hand is at rest.

• Rigidity: Muscle stiffness and resistance to movement affects many people with PD. The muscles remain constantly tense and contracted so that a person aches or feels stiff. This rigidity can become obvious when another person tries to move the individual’s arm, which will only move in short, jerky movements known as “cogwheel.”

• Bradykinesia: This is a slowing down of spontaneous and automatic movement. Activities that were once easily performed now take much longer. There often is a decrease in facial expression, called “masked

face.” A person with PD may not move his or her arms while walking.

• Postural instability: This impaired balance and change in posture can increase the risk of falls. Postural instability also may affect walking gait. Someone with PD may appear to be shuffling.

The cause of PD remains unknown. Scientists believe a combination of genetic and environmental factors are at the root of the disease. There is no cure for PD, although there are treatment options that may help alleviate some symptoms. Currently there is no treatment to slow the progression of PD.

The Mayo Clinic says changes occur in the brains of people with PD. Notably

there is the presence of clumps of substances called Lewy bodies. These Lewy bodies often show a widespread protein called alphasynuclein, which cells can’t break down. Researchers have found alpha-synuclein in the spinal fluid of people who later develop PD.

The Parkinson’s Foundation says people with PD take domaminergic medications to replace missing dopamine in the brain. This helps to treat various symptoms. Ongoing re-

search into PD has led researchers to find ways to identify biomarkers for PD that can lead to earlier diagnoses and more tailored treatments. Various conditions can produce symptoms similar to PD. It is best to discuss any concerns with a doctor. A consultation with a neurologist likely will be recommended. With the right treatment and support, someone with PD can still live a quality life for years after diagnosis.

How Seniors Can Help Themselves And Others Through Mentoring

The role of mentor is complex and sometimes vulnerable to misinterpretation. According to the employment resource Indeed, a mentor is an individual who acts as an adviser or coach for a less experienced person. Mentors often share their experiences and may even offer advice to their mentees.

Mental And Emotional Benefits

Many successful individuals credit mentors with helping them achieve their goals. However, mentors also walk away from mentoring having gained something significant. According to the caregiving company

Anyone can serve as a mentor, though individuals who accept that responsibility are typically older and/or more knowledgeable than their mentees. Mentors may be athletic coaches, teachers, business associates, or esteemed family members. Mentoring is something older adults can consider as they look to share their knowledge with others.

Seasons, mentoring can keep an aging mind sharp. Being a mentor may help at-risk seniors reduce their chances of developing dementia, particularly Alzheimer’s disease. According to a

study published in the Journal of Gerontology, gains were shown for mentors in “executive function and in the activity of prefrontal cortical regions in older adults at elevated risk

for cognitive impairment.”

Mentoring also may give seniors extra reasons to get up and go each day. A scheduled task like mentoring fosters social interactions and changes of scenery. Information published in Harvard Business Review indicates seniors who mentor young people may be three times happier than people who do not.

Qualities Of Good Mentors

Seniors considering mentoring should go over what can make a good mentormentee relationship. The following are some characteristics of successful mentors.

• Engage: The mentor should show genuine interest in the mentee, asking about their goals and expectations. Conversation should come easily.

• Participate actively: It’s important to make the time for mentoring sessions according to what the mentee can manage with his or her schedule. Lessons should be tailored to what the mentee hopes to gain from the relationship. Gauging success along the way and tweaking things as necessary can keep mentoring sessions on target.

• Listen well: Mentors recognize the importance of listening first and then responding to the questions and needs of the mentee.

• Possess expertise: A mentor needn’t have an advanced degree or special certification, but he or she should have more experience in a given field or subject than the mentee.

Mentoring is a consideration for seniors looking to remain active in their communities and share their knowledge with others.

Strategies To Help You Keep Your Brain Sharp

Cognitive decline is on the minds of many adults as they get older. Memory loss and trouble processing things can sometimes be a side effect of aging, as Everyday Health says the brain changes in size and structure as a person gets older. These changes can affect how well the brain works over time. Furthermore, illnesses affecting the brain, such as Alzheimer’s disease, may start showing their symptoms in people when they’ve reached their mid-60s, says the National Institute on Aging.

Cognitive decline and dementia are not a certainty of aging. But older adults interested in strengthening their brains may want to consider these strategies.

Address High Blood Pressure

High blood pressure can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. Maintaining healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels is associated with better cognitive function, according to data published in 2021 in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease.

Use All Your Senses

Harvard Health says the more senses used in learning something, the more of the brain that is involved in retaining the memory. Studies have shown that images paired with pleasant aromas leads to better recall later on.

Exercise Regularly

Staying physically active helps maintain blood flow to the brain, which also helps reduce the risk for hypertension.

Eat Brain-Healthy Foods

According to Cone Health Medical Group, studies show eating fish rich in

According to a study in the journal Neurology, regular reading and writing

in one’s older years reduced the rate of memory decline by 32 percent. Joining a book club or simply reading more on one’s own can improve cognition. Similarly, writing improves memory and communication abilities and can help strengthen the brain as well.

Drink Healthy Beverages

Tea and coffee can improve alertness and focus, as

they’re rich in polyphenols and antioxidants. A Place for Mom says caffeine in these beverages can help solidify new memories. Avoid drinking sugary beverages and limit consumption of alcohol, as neither boasts brain-boosting properties.

Keeping the brain sharp is a multi-layered process that involves healthy foods and beverages, exercise and brain-stimulating activities.

omega-3 fatty acids, like tuna, salmon and mackerel, decreases risk for cognitive decline. People should avoid saturated fats, trans fats and hydrogenated oils.

Read And Write Frequently

How Frequently Should You See The Doctor For Routine Checkups?

Routine health checkups are a key part of staying healthy. Older adults may feel like they’re always visiting one doctor or another. But what is an acceptable frequency for doctor appointments?

The answer isn’t always so cut and dry, and many health professionals have mixed feelings even among themselves over the magic number. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends adults over the age of 65 visit the doctor

more than twice as often as 18- to 44-year-olds. According to Paul Takahashi, a physician at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., adults should see their primary care physicians at least once a year to make sure diseases are being properly managed and to stay current on preventative screenings.

Visiting the doctor more frequently does not necessarily add up to better health, and it actually can do the opposite. Dr. Peter Abadir, an associate pro-

fessor of medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, says frequent visits to health facilties where sick people congregate puts one at a higher risk of illness or

infection. Visiting the doctor only when necessary is one way to avoid risky exposure.

Doctor visit frequency is not a one-size-fits-all answer. A yearly physical or checkup is a given, even for

people who are healthy. People with a family history of certain conditions, like sleep disorders, cancer, high blood pressure, and other conditions, may need to see a doctor more frequently than those with no such histories. In addition, patients may need referrals to certain specialists who work together to provide an overall health plan. That can increase the number of appointments and shorten the intervals between them.

Johnson Memorial Health offers some statistics.

• People visit the doctor four times a year on average.

• Studies show that poor or uninsured people prolong the time between doctor’s visits.

• Individuals with high blood pressure may need to see the doctor four times a year to ensure medications are working properly.

• Patients on dialysis see the doctor several times a week.

Dr. Jennifer Caudle, a family physician and assistant professor at Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine in Stratford, NJ, says too often people visit the doctor only when they are really sick. That works to their disadvantage because the appointment will focus only on treating the illness instead of addressing other preventative care and screenings. Balance is necessary in regard to health care. Patients can work together with their doctors to develop screening schedules that are customized to their particular profiles. These schedules can be modified as health history information changes or as patients age. Doctors can dial back or increase health visits as needed.

Make God Smile

Author: Wenger

Scripture: Psalm 11:7“The Lord is righteous, He loves righteousness; His countenance beholds the upright.”

We are considering what makes God smile. It is most obvious He will not smile on actions and attitudes He hates as cataloged in scripture. With that in mind, we were reviewing Proverbs 6:16, which enumerates seven things the Lord hates. We looked first at a proud look; second, a lying tongue; third, hands that shed innocent blood. This week, we will continue with, and I hope, finish that list.

Number four is up next on God’s most hated list: “A heart that devises wicked

plans.” One word that makes every crime’s severity and punishment much greater is premeditated. The definition of premeditated is: “(of an action, especially a crime) thought out or planned beforehand.” Some crimes are a result of anger, such as road rage. Some crimes are a result of alcohol-impaired judgment - the person who was pretty much out of their mind and did something they wouldn’t normally do. In this verse, we are talking about premeditated… deliberately planning beforehand. Scripture says, “The heart is desperately wicked above all else, who can know it” (Jeremiah 17:9)? Three biblical characters come to mind when we consider premeditated evil in the heart. Judas conspired to betray Jesus. He went to the religious leaders and asked, “what would you give me to deliver him?” For thirty pieces of silver, he betrayed the Son of God. Next, we have Joseph’s brothers, who were consumed with jealousy and conspired to kill their brother. Lastly, we have David, who after

Bathsheba, plotted an escape route that didn’t work. Finally, he planned the murder of Uriah, her husband. God said of David, that he was a man after His (God’s) own heart and he devised evil in his heart. So let’s not think we are above this sin.

Number five is up next on God’s most hated list: “Feet that are swift in running to evil.” If your feet are swift in running towards evil, your mind is already made up… it’s sold out to evil; you have no restraint,

and God hates it. A normal person may pause when evil presents itself and say, ‘I don’t really want to do that.’

Proverbs 4:26 encourages believers to “ponder the path of your feet.” Proverbs 4:14-15 says we are to turn from evil, not run to evil“Do not enter the path of the wicked, and do not walk in the way of evil. Avoid it, do not travel on it; turn away from it and pass on.”

We have all seen the sign ‘Do not enter’ on roads because usually it’s one way and you will run into

someone. Or the sign designates an area that is restricted and dangerous to be in. We are also told not to even pass by, but to turn from it!

Number six is up next on God’s most hated list: “A false witness who pours out lies.” A false witness only has one of two purposes. Either the witness is lying to get someone off the hook for an act that they committed or put them on the hook for something they didn’t do. The false witness not only lies, which is number two on God’s list (a lying tongue), but now makes it worse by offering a sworn testimony that is a lie! Speaking of the religious leaders, Isaiah 5:23 says: “who acquit the guilty for a bribe, and deprive the innocent of their right!” The false witness has no regard for truth, justice or righteousness. The Pharisees were a good example of this practice. They hired false witnesses against Christ.

The Lord criticized the Pharisees for tithing of even their herbs, yet they neglected the weightier matters of the law like justice, mercy and faith

Number seven is up next on God’s most hated list: “He that sows discord among the brethren.” This is the person who delights in creating conflict and division among people. It’s a form of malicious behavior that disrupts harmony and unity, which are supposed to be characteristics of the church. Paul says, keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace. Gossip is a key tool these people use to bring conflict. One reason this behavior is so hated by God is that our testimony to the world should be unity. John 17:20-21 states, “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word, that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in US, that the world may believe that You sent Me.” Fighting, bickering and discord destroy the testimony of the church. Don’t be on that list.

Next week, we will look at how we can “Make God Smile.”
