The waters flow at a constant 74 degrees in a small state park in the heart of the historic town. They are freely available for the taking from a public tap or for wading in the largest open display of spring waters in the Blue Ridge. A thriving spa community has grown up around the springs. Berkeley Springs boasts three times as many massage therapists as lawyers with a menu of more than 50 cutting edge spa treatments available daily to 21st century health seekers. Wander charming and peaceful streets in the National Historic District within the 1776 town boundaries around the springs and indulge in all the pleasures of a nationally recognized art town from distinctive shops, galleries and antique malls to fine dining restaurants. Whether you are captivated by the vintage movie house or the Victorian castle on a hill overlooking the town or the Sunday Farmers Market, there is no mistaking Berkeley Springs for someplace else. It's an easy drive or motorcycle ride into the West Virginia mountain wilderness that surrounds the town. There you can find spectacular views and outdoor fun including golf, hiking, biking, hunting and swimming in season. With year 'round festivals that celebrate everything from water to apple butter to quilts, something is always happening.

Washington County Museum Ramble By Rachel B. K. Nicholsm Heart of the Civil War Heritage Area www.heartofthecivilwar.org
HERITAGE AREA
W
ith 30 museums and historic sites over four weekends, Washington County’s annual Museum Ramble is more a marathon than a sprint. There are few counties in Maryland that can boast so many cultural treasures.
Museums within close proximity of each other have elected to pick one weekend in May to help you focus your attention on a different area of the county each weekend. Others will be open each weekend.
The annual event is sponsored by the Hagerstown-Washington County Convention and Visitors Center and the Washington County Association of Museums and Historical Sites (WCAMHS). The county is home to 10% of Maryland’s museums. Taking the Museum Ramble gives you a trip throughout the county to experience its rich history through visiting a wide range of interests including fine arts, rural heritage, American history, black history, geology and trains. Just the drive alone is a pleasure as you pass through quaint historic towns and travel along rolling hills.
• May 2-3 Mid-County and City Center (includes Hagerstown and Williamsport)
For some of the museums, this event marks their grand opening weekend for the season. With more sites participating than ever before, organizers suggest a good place to start your tours is at the downtown Hagerstown Visitor Center, 6 North Potomac Street, Hagerstown, MD. There, you can pick up the Museum Ramble printed guide. Info is also online at museumramble.visithagerstown.com WCAMHS president Bill Knode said, “The Annual Museum Ramble is a great kick off to Washington County Tourism Week.”
www. va l leyrev ue . co m
• May 9-10 Southeast County (includes Sharpsburg, Boonsboro) • May 16-17 Northeast County (includes Beaver Creek, Smithsburg, Ft. Ritchie) • May 23-24 and May 30-31 West County (includes Hancock, Clear Spring, Fort Frederick) New to the lineup this year is the Hagerstown Fire Museum, a look through time at firefighting history, which is located in the heart of the award-winning Arts & Entertainment District. Other highlights will be the museums at Gathland State Park with an interactive exhibit that lets you become a Civil War correspondent, and the Washington County Museum of Fine Arts, the crown jewel of Hagerstown City Park. The Ramble includes some sites that are private and typically open by appointment only. It is important for you to check the guide for each museum or site’s hours. So, hop into the car and get ready for a ride through the past and present in beautiful Washington County. MAY 2015

A Complex Task Driving is a complicated task. It
As people get older, their driving patterns change. Retirement, different schedules, and new activities affect when and where they drive. Most older adults drive safely because they have a lot of experience behind the wheel. But when they are involved in crashes, they are often hurt more seriously than younger drivers. Age-related declines in vision, hearing, and other abilities, as well as certain health conditions and medications, can affect driving skills.
Changes in Driving Habits When people retire, they no longer drive to work. With more leisure time, they may start new activities, visit friends and family more often, or take more vacations. Like drivers of any age, they use their vehicles to go shopping, do errands, and visit the doctor. Driving is an important part of staying independent. Most people 70 and older have drivers’ licenses. They tend to drive fewer miles than younger drivers. But, they are also keeping their www.vall ey rev ue .co m

requires people to see and hear clearly; pay close attention to other cars, traffic signs and signals, and pedestrians; and react quickly to events. Drivers must be able to accurately judge distances and speeds and monitor movement on both sides as well in front of them. It’s common for people to have declines in visual, thinking, or physical abilities as they get older. As a result, older drivers are more likely than younger ones to have trouble in certain situations, including making left turns, changing lanes, and navigating through intersections.
Common Mistakes Common mistakes of older drivers include • failing to yield the right of way • failing to stay in lane
32 M AY 2 015
• misjudging the time or distance needed to turn in front of traffic • failing to stop completely at a stop sign • speeding or driving too slowly.
Tips for Safe Driving Make Adjustments Staying safe on the road as you get older may mean making adjustments for age-related physical changes and health conditions and taking steps to improve your driving. Here are some tips to help you drive safely if you experience changes in vision, hearing, attention and reaction time, or strength, flexibility and coordination. There are also tips on how to keep medications from interfering with your driving. Make Sure You See Well Enough There are several steps to take to make sure you see well enough to drive safely.

Have your vision checked every 1 to 2 years. An eye doctor can treat many vision problems. For example, surgery can remove cataracts. If you wear glasses or contact lenses, ask your eye doctor or optometrist if you need a new prescription. Antireflective lenses and polarized sunglasses can help reduce glare. Always wear corrective lenses while driving. Limit driving to daytime hours if you have trouble seeing in the dark. Keep your windshield, mirrors, and headlights clean. Turn the brightness up on the instrument panel. Adjust your seat height so you can see the road for at least 10 feet ahead of your car. Many states require people who renew their driver’s licenses to have their vision tested. Such requirements have been shown to reduce deaths www.vall ey rev ue .co m
among older drivers. People who do not pass the test are told to get an eye exam. Check Your Hearing You can also take several steps to make sure you hear well enough to drive safely. Have your hearing checked every 3 years. If necessary, get a hearing aid – and use it when you drive. Keep the inside of the car as quiet as possible while driving. If the radio or conversations with other people are distracting, limit those, too. Watch for the flashing lights of emergency vehicles. You may not hear a siren from a distance.

Leave enough space between you and the car in front of you. Find a marker ahead of you, such as a tree or sign. When the car ahead of you passes this mark, count “1001, 1002, 1003, 1004.” Leave enough space so that you get to 1004 before you reach the marker. Start braking early when you need to stop. Avoid high-traffic areas if possible. Drive during the day and avoid rush hour. Find other routes with less traffic. When on the highway, drive in the right-hand lane, where traffic moves more slowly. Scan far down the road so you can anticipate problems and plan your actions. Avoid left turns if they make you uncomfortable. Often, you can make
three right turns instead one left turn to get where you want to go. If you must turn left, pay attention to the speed of oncoming traffic. Address Physical Changes These tips can help you address physical changes that may affect your driving See your doctor if you think that pain or stiffness gets in the way of your driving. Drive a car with power steering, power brakes, and large mirrors. Some people use special equipment that makes it easier to steer or operate the foot pedals. Check your side mirror to eliminate your blind spot. First, lean your head against the window, then adjust the mirror outward so that when you look at the inside edge, you can barely see the side of your car. Exercise or be physically active — it can make driving easier.
