    By Doreen RutherfordThis is the time of year

    that I feel the cold in mybones and my body istelling me I need some

    pampering. It certainlyhelps the winter to seemshorter if you treat your-self to spa services. Ifound a spa that hasreasonable rates forexceptional service. It

    is in my "must go"category not because itis a huge spa with waterfountains and fancygold leaf columns, but

    because the services areconsitantly excellent fora reasonable price. Ireally don't feel toogood when I go to a spaand pay a grand amountof money for servicesonly to feel as though Iended up with a mini-mal service. I actuallyfeel worse than when I

    went in. I assure youthis will not happen atJennifer's Hair Salonand Day Spa located at6 East Main St. inquaint Pen Argyl. It isowned by JenniferReto-Renaldo and she isalways at the spamaking sure you aregetting the best of care.Jennifer has operated

    her business for over 34years starting with hairservices and then

    providing clients withspa treats as well. TheSpa experience was

    possible by creating a"Spa Space" on thesecond floor makingroom for; massagetherapy, facials and

    body scrubs. The Mas-sage Therapist, LondonDickey, specializes inSwedish, Deep Tissueand Hot Stone massage.

    On the second floorthere is also a consign-ment boutique withsome very cute itemsfor Men, Women andChildren includingshoes, handbags andaccessories.I prefer the deep tissue

    massage. London has

    very strong hands, butshe also does the Swed-ish method well and isalways attentive towhatever physicalissues I might have atthat time. Everyoneworks hard to make sureyou have the mostrelaxing experience

    possible. The massageis 60 minutes on aheated table in a pleas-ant room. After yourmassage, make sure yourest and drink plenty ofwater.I recommend calling

    the salon to inquireabout their holiday spa

    packages, it wouldmake a great gift to afriend, family memberor, like I do, to yourself.They are having an

    Open House on SundayDecember 8th from 5pmto 7pm with appetizers,door prizes and Santa.Christmas Specials giftcertificate for allservices will be avail-able as well as a wholelist of unique vendors.

    Hello fellow readers,Winter predictions are

    always a popular topicthis time of year. You've

    heard the folklore; thewider the middle brownsection of the wooly

    bear caterpillar themilder the comingwinter.The more frenzied the

    nut collecting of squir-rels the harsher thewinter. While visitingthe Lakota WolfPreserve in earlyAugust, Pam noted theircritters were way aheadin developing wintercoats indicating a toughwinter ahead.The legends go on and

    on and are fun to antici-pate but we look

    forward to the officialopinion of the experts.Marcia of Columbia

    turned me onto anauthority in our area -

    the Eastern Pennsylva-nia Weather Authority(EPAWA) who recentlyreleased their 2013/14Winter Outlook. They

    provide detailed techni-cal information basedon trends of severalindicators using acro-nyms and lingo thatfrankly are puzzling tome kind of like todays

    business jargon."There are some

    indications that warm-ing in ENSO regions 3.4and 4 would suggest aweak El Nino may begin

    to develop sometime inJanuary. This, combinedwith some other factors(especially a decliningQBO) is a grand slamfor snow lovers.Oh boy, at least I

    understand the grandslam part.They did share some

    easy to understand asso-

    ciations such as there issignificantly more snowcover in Canada thistime of year as com-

    pared to the last twoindicating less chancecold air will moderate as

    it reaches our latitude.Translated, arcticblasts are likely to lastlonger. Anothervariable, the sea surfacetemperatures in theAtlantic are warmerthan usual due to thelack of tropical stormactivity which may holdsnow events longer onland. Wahoo, it soundslike a grand slamindeed!Speaking of business

    jargon mumbo jumbo;while trying to predictthis winters forecast, I

    read through the analyt-ics and drilled down toget to the minutia of thewinter weather ahead.But at the end of the day,I circled back andreached out to thereliable woolly bearcaterpillar.Garden dilemmas?askmarystone.com

    Home Instead SeniorCare Advises FamilyCaregivers to Keep aClose Eye on OlderAdults during FrigidTemperaturesThe extreme tempera-

    tures and snow ofwinter can be particu-larly dangerous for

    older adults.The elderly and thosewith heart disease are atspecial risk, accordingto the American HeartAssociation.As people age, their

    ability to maintain anormal internal bodytemperature oftendecreases.Because elderly

    people seem to berelatively insensitive tomoderately cold condi-

    tions, they can sufferhypothermia withoutknowing they're indanger, the Heart Asso-ciation reports( w w w . a m e r -icanheart.org).Hypothermia means

    the body temperaturehas fallen below

    normal. It occurs whenyour body can't produceenough energy to keepthe internal bodytemperature warmenough and the condi-tion can kill.Heart failure causes

    most deaths in hypo-thermia, the AmericanHeart Associationnotes.The following tips,

    from the local HomeInstead Senior Care

    office, will help yousafeguard a seniorloved one or neighbor. Fill the cupboard.

    Help your senior stockthe staples and grocer-ies theyll need in theevent of a large snow-storm or cold spell. Maximize energy.

    Encourage your seniorto make sure they haveadequate insulation andto check and clean thefireplace and furnace.Replace furnace filtersmonthly. Minimize drafts.

    Help your senior fill oldsocks with sand and usethem in drafty window-sills and door jams.Weather-strip aroundwindows and doors.Keep doors closed to

    unused rooms and closecurtains at night. Stay toasty. Advise

    your senior to add anextra blanket to the bedand warm the bed inadvance with a hotwater bottle.Never use electric

    blankets. A senior maynot be able to operatethe controls if the

    temperature needs to beadjusted Dress warmly. A

    seniors circulationdecreases with age.Encourage your seniorto wear an extra sweateror sweatshirt, and sweat

    pants during the winter. Monitor the thermo-

    stat. Check with yoursenior to make sure thattheyre keeping thethermostat above 65degrees during the cold

    weather.Older adults are

    particularly susceptibleto hypothermia, whichcan develop over a fewdays and weeks even inthe mildly cool indoortemperatures of 60 to 65degrees. Beware of budget

    problems. Make sureyour senior isnt trying

    to save money by keep-ing the thermostatdown. Many communi-ties have energy assis-tance programs for low-and fixed-incomehouseholds. Avoid slips. Make

    sure your senior hasmade arrangements tohave driveways andwalkways cleaned. Saltand sand should beavailable to speed melt-ing.

    Stay in touch. Checkon your neighbor orloved one frequentlyduring periods of coldand snowy weather. Build a network. You

    cant always be aroundto help your elderlyloved one. Call onneighbors, family andchurch members tohelp. Or contact your
