Frank Poley is there for families, patients, and EMS staff whenever tragedy

strikes.

“When suddenly someone loses a husband, wife, or even a child, I’m there

for them. I feel for them. I stay on the scene until a coroner comes and I stay

with the family as long as they want,” the volunteer chaplain said.

Poley, an ordained chaplain with the Penn Del district of the Assemblies

of God, doesn’t have any special training in chaplaincy.

“What prepared me is my deep faith in the Lord above. All I do is open

my mouth and God takes care of it. The right words come out,” he said.

“One thing God has given me is an overdose of compassion.”

Losing children is the hardest. The youngest one was only 5 days old

when there was a home accident in which a parent fell asleep and

accidentally smothered the child.

He also helped the family of a 1-month-old, where it was later determined

the baby died of shaken-baby syndrome caused by the father.

“The EMTs were crying their eyes out. They could be anywhere else, but

they chose to be first responders,” Poley said. “The doctor gave me the sign

the baby was dead and I had to tell the dad. I also had to reach out to the

mom, who was incarcerated. The warden allowed her to come to the hospital

Book Review

The newest addition to the Images

of America series is Pennsylvania’s

Covered Bridges from local

author Fred J. Moll. The book boasts

more than 200 vintage images and

memories of days gone by.

Starting in the early 1800s,

Pennsylvania’s rich

forests provided natural

material for the

construction of more

than 1,500 covered

bridges across the state.

The first covered bridge

was built in 1805.

Pennsylvania’s Covered

Bridges looks at the

earliest covered bridges

as well as those that have

survived modern

progress. Images also

show rare railroad

covered bridges that have been saved

from destruction over the years.

This book invites the reader to step

back in time and imagine the days when

ancestors traveled through wooden spans

to reach their daily destinations.

Pennsylvania’s Covered Bridges is

available at area bookstores, independent

or online retailers, or through Arcadia

Publishing at www.arcadiapublishing.com

or (888) 313-2665.

About the AuthorFred J. Moll grew up in

Reading, Pa. He graduated

from the Philadelphia

College of Pharmacy and

Science in 1968 and has

been practicing pharmacy

ever since.

His hobbies include

photography and historical

research. Moll has been the

historian of the Theodore

Burr Covered Bridge

Society of Pennsylvania

since 1990. He is also a member of the

National Society for the Preservation of

Covered Bridges and the Historical

Society of Berks County.

Creativity Matters

Judith Zausner

orget the old saying “less is more.”

Minimalists thrived on that belief

because it validated their art, but

the contemporary fashion niche

embraced by Iris Apfel makes a different

statement.

Turn your head 180 degrees and open

your eyes wide and your mind even

wider. There she is: a fashion maverick;

an irreverent renegade; a defiant, creative

spirit; and a marvel of an exquisite

opulence of wearables.

“I’m a geriatric starlet, my dear, don’t

you know,” she said. “All of a sudden,

I’m hot; I’m cool; I have a ‘fan base.’”

With a rising cult of diverse people

spilling around her amazing presence,

Apfel is taking her show on the road.

The HSN road, that is. Middle America

is fascinated and wants this design

eccentricity to be a brand in their lives.

Naturally, much will be in translation.

For example, her classic owl-shape

eyeglasses will be featured in a scarf print

and tribal-type necklaces are modified

with respect to design and price.

Apfel was always a fashion maven.

“My mother worshipped at the altar

of accessories, and I got the bug. She

always said, ‘If you have a good, little,

simple black dress and you have different

accessories, you can have 27 different

outfits.” So she learned early.

“The fun of getting dressed is that it is

a creative experience and I never know

what it’s going to be.”

She assiduously edits her ensembles,

often wearing a basic architectural type

of garment that can be accessorized

dramatically. In 2005, the Metropolitan

Museum of Art in New York City

presented an exhibition about Apfel

called “Rara Avis (Rare Bird): The

Irreverent Iris Apfel.” It was so successful

that they created a traveling version that

could be viewed by other audiences.

“Composing the elements of interior

and composing an ensemble are part and

parcel of the same thought process,” says

Apfel.

So she was a natural watching her

father in his business, working with high-

end mirrors that focused on interiors.

This passion for interiors catapulted the

careers of Apfel and her husband, Carl.

Serendipitously they started working

with Old World Weavers in search of a

certain cloth and then began to travel

worldwide looking for both exotic fabrics

and historically based designs that could

be replicated by these foreign specialty

mills. It was through this work that she

was asked to consult for the White

House interior for Presidents Truman,

Eisenhower, Nixon, Kennedy, Johnson,

Carter, Reagan, and Clinton.

Married 64 years, she and her almost

100-year-old husband wear the same

perfume called Yatagan by Caron, which

is hard to find so they store it in big

containers in the refrigerator. They also

wear similar, round spectacles. An

amazing couple, they have been very

successful in their fabric business and,

despite retirement from Old World

Weavers in the 1990s, it’s clear that

Apfel’s fame is soaring.

This radical fashion icon will be

featured in an upcoming documentary

by Albert Maysles while she continues to

design products for various companies

and has the magnanimous vision to

donate more than 900 pieces from her

wardrobe to the Peabody Essex Museum

in Salem, Mass.

Iris Apfel is an iconic legend with the

bravado and mastery of greatness.

When today’s geriatric

seniors were high school

seniors, they took for

granted certain informational

resources would continue to be

available for many decades—

especially libraries.

Some of these resources no longer

exist (e.g., Sears’ mail-order catalog),

some are fading (e.g., the black-and-

white phone directory), and others

seem threatened (e.g., the postal

service, newspapers).

The postal service may yet

reinvent itself by resurrecting a

modernized version of the

Railway Express, a predecessor

of today’s United Parcel Service.

The Railway Express was owned

by the railways.

Newspapers may survive by

concentrating their staff ’s

reportorial coverage to state,

county, and local topics,

limiting their national and

international coverage.

Public libraries may never see

their own reincarnations but

may simply disappear as the

Internet dominates the

informational-search domain

and electronic books (“e-

books”) replace printed

versions.

E-books already have captured an

estimated 10 percent of all consumer

book sales as of October 2010, up

from 3.3 percent in late 2009,

according to Read Write Web.

Amazon.com reported that during

its fourth quarter of 2010, it sold

more electronic books than

paperbacks.

Public libraries are funded by

municipalities or counties. In

budget-cutting times, public

libraries and parks are the first to

have their funding slashed.

The libraries today’s seniors

visited in their youth often were

funded in large part by the

philanthropy of Andrew Carnegie.

From 1881 through 1917, Carnegie

helped start 1,689 public libraries by

requiring municipalities to provide

only the land while committing to

undertake the maintenance and

management of the library.

By 2007 there were 9,214 public-

library systems having a total of

16,604 locations, according to the

U.S. Census Bureau. This is a slight

increase from the 9,137 public-

library systems in 2002. It is

doubtful if we will see any growth in

the decade following 2007.

Fortunately, there are many

public-school “libraries.” As of 2007,

they numbered 76,807, according to

the Census Bureau. Frequently they

are called media centers because they

fall far short of being a traditional

library with well-stocked shelves.

Public-school libraries cannot

provide the services found at public

libraries. The latter have been

indispensable resources for all age

groups. Today, public libraries have

become popular Internet-access sites.

The Census Bureau reports an

average of 12.5 Internet terminals

per public library location, ranging

from an average of 19.4 in

Maryland to 4.5 in Nevada.

The specter of closed libraries

remains a real possibility. Already

one municipality, Salinas, Calif., has

closed most of its library locations

because of financial constraints.

Boston considered closing four of its

26 branches in early 2010 as the

state reduced its share of funding for

the library system from $8.9 million

to a proposed $2.4 million.

Other public-library systems that

closed some of their branches are

Seattle, Denver, Honolulu, and

cities in Ohio, New York, North

Carolina, Oklahoma, and Michigan.

Before libraries are shut down,

many jurisdictions will choose to

reduce library hours. According to

Public Library Funding & Technology

Access Study 2009-2010, published

June 2010, “just under 15 percent of

libraries (up from 4.5 percent in

2009) report that they decreased

their operating hours in the past

year … further reductions in library

hours and closures in more

locations seem likely.”

The just-under 15 percent

figure was based on all libraries

nationwide. The study found the

figure for urban libraries alone

was a painful 24 percent.

Like newspapers, libraries

furnish a fundamental service in

democratic societies by providing

information and education on

which the electorate can make

informed choices. Some of us

received the better part of our

education in public libraries.

Samuel Clemens, better

known as Mark Twain (1835-

1910), educated himself in

public libraries, such as they

were then. He preferred their

expansive resources compared to

public schools. That education took

place in the evenings while Clemens

was employed as a typesetter. Many

of today’s seniors may have shared

this kind of educational experience.

Like the movie theaters of past

decades, the public library may not

survive as a local institution. Its

demise would be one more loss of

interaction between individuals,

families, and their local

communities.

research analyst, is the author of My 22Cents’ Worth: The Higher-Valued Opinionof a Senior Citizen, a book of personal-

cookbook, Scandinavian Classic Baking (Pelican Publishing), in February 2011. This

book has a color photo of every recipe. Her first cookbook, Baking Basics and Beyond(Surrey Books), won the 2007 Cordon d’Or from the Culinary Arts Academy.

Makes 4 servings

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 pound (2 to 3 medium) cucumbers, peeled, seeded, and

chopped

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 1/2 cups chicken broth

1/4 teaspoon salt

White pepper, to taste

1 cup nonfat Greek-style plain yogurt

4 teaspoons chopped fresh dill

Melt the butter in a

medium saucepan over

medium-high heat and

add the cucumbers.

Cook, stirring

occasionally, until the

cucumbers begin to

soften, about 3 minutes.

Stir in the flour and

cook 30 seconds, stirring

constantly. Add the

chicken broth and return

to a boil. Reduce the

heat to low and simmer

10 to 15 minutes or until the cucumbers are fork-tender.

Carefully ladle the hot cucumbers and liquid into a food processor

bowl and process until pureed. Add liquid as needed or process in two

batches. Adjust seasoning, adding salt if needed and white pepper. Pour

into a covered container and chill.

Pour chilled soup into serving bowls or cups and sprinkle with fresh

dill.

Chilled Cucumber Dill SoupBy Pat Sinclair

Although most of us think of the start of school as the end of summer, there

are usually a few warm and humid days to come. Take advantage of fresh

cucumbers that are now in abundance and prepare a creamy chilled soup to

start a simple supper on a summery day.

Cook’s Note: Cucumbers from farmers markets are plentiful this time of

year and great for soup because their shapes can be uneven.

Peel with a vegetable peeler and cut in half lengthwise. Use a

melon baller or fruit spoon to scoop out seeds and discard.

Large cucumbers with a waxy coating from the produce

department are also good in this recipe.

Anton Heidinger’s parents came to

the U.S. through Ellis Island

from their home in Austria-

Hungary. Settling in Union, N.J., then

Berkley Heights, N.J., they raised a

family of eight. Heidinger was the

seventh born.

He did exceptionally well in schools as

he grew up. And, when he was old

enough, he earned a wrestling

scholarship to the University of

Maryland. Instead, he opted for the

Navy, enlisting on Nov. 16, 1942, and

going through boot camp at Newport,

R.I.

He next trained in Boston to become

a machinist’s mate, responsible for the

continuous operation of the many

engines, compressors, gears, refrigeration,

and other types of machinery onboard

ships. He would be responsible for the

ship’s steam propulsion, auxiliary

equipment, and the

deck machinery.

After his training,

he was assigned as a

machinist’s mate to

the USS Hilary P.

Jones, a destroyer that

had made many trips

across the Atlantic

while part of

hazardous North

Atlantic convoy duty.

This time, the ship

was headed for even

more dangerous

combat in support

of the invasions of

Italy and southern

France.

Although the ship arrived shortly after

the Anzio invasion, she joined with other

destroyers of her division to cover

landing and provide

fire support at the

bitterly contested

Anzio beachhead.

As she exchanged

fire with German

shore batteries,

Heidinger

remembers learning

that the destroyer

USS Cooper had

gone down in the

Pacific, with the loss

of 191 men,

including his best

friend.

“I felt so bad

about that,” he

says, “because I had

talked him into joining the Navy, and

now he was gone. And, it made me

realize that, in the bombardment we

were taking at Anzio, I could die too.”

After a brief respite, the ship returned

to her gunfire support duties at Anzio

during April and early May, occasionally

engaging in escort and antisubmarine

patrol operations.

She joined with six other destroyers

and a Wellington bomber in one of the

most extended submarine hunts of the

war. It was called “Operation

Monstrous,” and it ended with the

sinking of the U-616 off northeastern

Spain on May 15, 1944.

During June and July, the ship acted

as escort ship for Mediterranean convoys

and took part in training for the invasion

of southern France.

On Aug. 13, the ship left Naples,

escorting French and British ships for

“Operation Anvil,” the southern France

invasion. There, during the assault, she

provided gunfire support and acted as an

electronic jamming vessel, successfully

preventing radio-controlled bombs from

harassing the area.

She continued to range up and down

the coast in support of the First Airborne

Task Force, destroying bridges, gun

emplacements, railroad facilities, and

coastal vessels. She was attacked by a

German E-boat on Aug. 21 but

destroyed the craft with gunfire. For her

outstanding record during this period,

the ship received

the Navy Unit

Commendation.

After

continuing

convoy duties in

the

Mediterranean,

the ship

returned to New

York. Following

overhaul and training, she sailed with her

last transatlantic convoy and was then

designated for the Pacific Fleet,

departing New York on April 24 for the

Panama Canal Zone and Pearl Harbor.

On June 2, she sailed from Pearl

Harbor for the advance base at Ulithi, an

atoll in the Caroline Islands and a major

staging area for the Navy, 370 miles

southwest of Guam and 1,300 miles

south of Tokyo.

She was there when the atomic bombs

were dropped that brought the war to a

close. She then escorted occupation

troops to Japan, entering Tokyo Bay on

Sept. 2, as the surrender ceremony was

under way onboard the Missouri. She

escorted two more occupation troop

convoys to Japan before returning to

Charleston.

Heidinger left the Navy on Feb. 16,

1946, as a Machinist’s Mate First Class

and went to work

for Public Service

Electric and Gas

Company in New

Jersey. He met

and married

Eleanor Finken,

and they came to

Central

Pennsylvania in

retirement seven

years ago. On Sept. 21, they will be

celebrating their 65th wedding

anniversary.

In his retirement, Heidinger can

reminisce with pride about his days of

having served his country well in two

oceans during World War II.

Many RetireesWould Keep Working

Some people dream of never working

again once they reach retirement.

Others—more than you might think—

are happy to keep on working.

A study by Prudential has found that

40 percent of people planning to retire

this year would be happy to keep

working past their 65th birthday if given

the opportunity. That figure represents

48 percent of men and 32 percent of

women.

Money isn’t the main factor, either.

The primary motivation for 68 percent

of this year’s retirees is the desire to

remain physically and mentally active,

although 39 percent just don’t like the

prospect of sitting at home, and 54

percent say they simply enjoy working.

About 10 percent would consider

starting their own businesses once they

retire, and 5 percent are interested in

volunteering. But most don’t want to

Dear Savvy Senior,

What can you tell me about elder

mediation for resolving family conflicts? My

mother has Alzheimer’s disease, and to

make matters worse, my three siblings and I

have been perpetually arguing about how to

handle her care and finances. Would this

type of service be helpful to us?

– Tired of Fighting

Dear Tired,

If your siblings are willing, elder care

mediation may be just what your family

needs to help you work through your

disagreements. Here’s what you should

know.

Elder Mediation

While mediators have been used for

years to help divorcing couples sort out

legal and financial disagreements and

avoid court battles, elder care mediation

is a relatively new and specialized field

designed to help families resolve disputes

that are related to aging parents or other

elderly relatives.

Family

disagreements

over an ill or

elderly

parent’s

caregiving

needs, living

arrangements,

financial

decisions, and

medical care

are some of

the many

issues that an

elder care

mediator can help with. But don’t

confuse this with family or group

therapy. Mediation is only about decision

making, not feelings and emotions.

The job of an elder mediator is to step

in as a neutral third party to help ease

family tensions, listen to everyone’s

concerns, hash

out

disagreements

and misunder-

standings, and

help your

family make

decisions that

are acceptable

to everyone.

Good

mediators can

also assist your

family in

identifying

experts such as estate planners, geriatric

care managers, or healthcare or financial

professionals who can supply important

information for family decision making.

Your family also needs to know that

the mediation process is completely

confidential and voluntary, and it can

take anywhere from a few hours to

several meetings, depending on the

complexity of your issues. And if some

family members live far away, a

speakerphone or webcam can be used to

bring everyone together.

If you’re interested in hiring a private

elder care mediator, you can expect to

pay anywhere from $100 to more than

$400 per hour, depending on where you

live and whom you choose. Or, you may

be able to get help through a nonprofit

community mediation service that

charges little to nothing.

Since there’s no formal licensing or

national credentialing required for elder

mediators, make sure the person you

choose has extensive experience with

Through a successful partnership with the Falls Free York Coalition and the York

County Area Agency on Aging, the 2012 York County 50plus EXPO on Sept. 19 will

include a designated area entitled Falls Free York.

This unique area will focus on fall prevention, with a range of free demonstrations,

devices, screenings, and assessments available to all EXPO visitors.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, one out of three adults age 65 and

older fall each year—but less than half talk to their healthcare providers about it.

Falls can cause moderate to severe injuries, such as hip fractures and head traumas,

and can increase the risk of early death. In 2008, more than 19,700 older adults died

from unintentional fall injuries.

Falls Free York area will emphasize the importance of preventing falls in boomers

and seniors. Highlights will include:

> Bathroom hazards and

solutions

> Lighting options and

safety precautions

> Medication review for

fall risk – bring your

medications or list of

medications, including

over-the-counter

medications

> Gait and balance

screenings

> Cane/walker safety checks

> Physical fitness programs on Wii systems

> Sloppy Slipper Swap – exchange old and unsafe footwear for one safety product

> Portable ramp demonstrating proper ramp height

> Chair lift demonstrations

> Current resources for fall risk awareness and prevention

> Stairway safety

Falls Free York will be thoroughly staffed to ensure safety at all times.

The 10th annual York County 50plus EXPO will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Wednesday, Sept. 19, at the York Expo Center, Memorial Hall – East, 334 Carlisle

Ave., York. For more information on the EXPO or Falls-Free York, call (717) 285-

Oh, My Aching Joints! How Do You Know When Enough is Enough?Joint pain in hips, knees, and shoulders caused by osteoarthritis often follows a gradual progression. At first it’s a twinge. Years later, you may find yourself avoiding

your favorite activities because the pain has become intolerable. How do you know when to seek medical attention and what will your treatment options be once you

get there?

WellSpan Orthopedics’ total joint replacement specialists will be on hand to discuss your options, including medications, physical therapy, and other conservative

treatments, as well as total joint replacement surgery. Take our joint pain assessment to find out which option might help you get back to the activities you enjoy.

Back Pain 101: What Do I Need to Know about Keeping My Spine Healthy?Did you know one in eight of us will experience back pain within our lifetime? Whether caused by sudden injury or a chronic condition, back pain is not a

symptom to be ignored.

Spine experts from WellSpan will be on hand to show you techniques, such as body mechanics and proper lifting practices, that will help minimize the pain you have

now and prevent future spine injuries.

We’ll also show you how WellSpan’s neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, physiatrists, pain management specialists, physical therapists, and complementary medicine

practitioners combine their areas of expertise to provide a comprehensive and integrated approach to spine care.

Do You Know How to Act F.A.S.T.? Stroke Risk Assessment• FACT 1: Every year, almost 800,000 Americans experience a stroke. That’s one every 40 seconds.

• FACT 2: There are currently 7 million stroke survivors living in the U.S., of which two-thirds are disabled in some way.

• FACT 3: 80 percent of all strokes are preventable.

Experts from York Hospital, the only accredited primary stroke center in York and Adams counties, will be on hand to discuss ways you can prevent strokes by

treating or controlling the risk factors you have within your power to influence.

You’ll also learn to spot the symptoms of a stroke in yourself or others. Participate in screenings and demonstrations, including a stroke risk assessment, balance

screen, diabetic food screen, sensory touch perception, and more.

The annual U.S. statistics on strokes are unsettling. According to the National

Stroke Association:

• Almost 800,000 Americans will experience a stroke this year—one every 40

seconds—and of those, 133,000 will die.

• Seven million stroke survivors live in the U.S.—two-thirds of whom are disabled

from stroke in some way.

• Women are two times more likely to die from a stroke than from breast cancer.

The good news is that 80 percent of all strokes are preventable when symptoms

are diagnosed and treated promptly.

Understanding “Brain Attack” Basics

A stroke is a “brain attack,” a potentially fatal emergency situation in which blood

flow and oxygen are blocked from reaching the brain. Stroke occurs in two forms:

• Ischemic: Accounting for 87 percent of all strokes, ischemic stroke occurs when

arteries are blocked by blood clots or by a gradual build-up of plaque and other

fatty deposits.

• Hemorrhagic: This type of stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain breaks,

leaking blood into the brain. Hemorrhagic strokes account for 13 percent of strokes

overall but cause more than 30 percent of all stroke deaths.

Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs)—often called “mini-strokes”—are precursors

to full-blown strokes. TIA symptoms often last less than 60 minutes before

disappearing. Though “mini-strokes” generally do not cause lasting brain damage,

they often foreshadow a more severe stroke event, so it is critical that you call 911

immediately—even if the symptoms disappear.

York Hospital is York and Adams Counties’ Only Primary Stroke Center

“Hospitals fall into one of three levels of expertise when it comes to stroke care. At

the top is the Joint Commission’s ‘Primary Stroke Center’ certification,” explains

John Mingle, M.D., WellSpan Neurology. “That designation means our program at

York Hospital has the experts, equipment, and protocols in place to provide the

region’s most comprehensive stroke care.”

WellSpan recently recruited a highly skilled interventional neurosurgeon and

invested in a state-of-the-art 3-D biplane catheterization lab comprised of specialized

equipment for treating strokes, brain aneurysms, blood vessel malformations, and

tumors.

“We are on the cutting edge of care,” Mingle says, adding that the program

benefits extend beyond York Hospital. “Being a designated primary stroke center

allows us to provide

care to a large

geographic area. In

the future, WellSpan

neurologists will help

other regional

hospitals treat stroke

patients from afar

using telemedicine

(e.g., video-

conferencing).

“Time is critical

when it comes to

treating stroke,”

Mingle states. “The

sooner we can

evaluate a patient’s

condition—whether

that’s in person or

using telemedicine—

the better chance we

have of preventing or

minimizing the effects

of stroke. In some

cases, it’s a matter of

life and death.”

SSPPOONNSSOORR ‘Brain Attacks’ Require Immediate Action.

Can You Recognize the Signs & Symptoms?

Symptoms of stroke are distinct and occur quickly:

• Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm,

or leg (especially on one side of the body)

• Sudden confusion, trouble speaking, or

difficulty understanding speech

• Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes

• Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of

balance or coordination

• Sudden severe headache with no known cause

If you have one or more of these signs, call 911

immediately. Be sure to check the time, so you can

tell medical providers when the symptoms first

appeared. There are treatments that, if given quickly,

can greatly reduce the damage caused by stroke.

SOLACE from page 1

with two guards.

“I only hug, hold, and love ’em,”

Poley said.

He also prayed over the infant and

was asked to tell the 6-year-old daughter.

When he told her he was a chaplain, she

said she knew him because he had

prayed over her previously when she was

sick. She asked him how her sister was.

“I said, ‘Jesus came and took your

sister, but you’ll have a chance to see her

again.’”

Poley recalled another incident when

he was called during off-duty hours.

“The husband died at the kitchen

table while the wife was there. I just held

her and reached out to her pastor. I

wanted her to be as comfortable as

possible. She got one of my hankies—my

pants are loaded with pockets and I

always have a few hankies since I go

through them.

“Two or three weeks later, a box

arrived with a note which said, ‘You were

there when I needed you. Enclosed find

all my dead husband’s hankies. I’m sure

you’ll put them to good use.’”

The EMS chaplaincy program began

in 2008 after a local pastor told EMS

Chief Bobby Pine about his brainstorm

following a bad accident in the area.

“He thought there should be an outlet

for providers to have counseling,

someone to talk to, after a bad call,” Pine

said.

There were chaplaincy programs for

police departments, but none for EMS

since they are “two different animals,” he

said.

At first, the program took heat from

EMS personnel because they didn’t think

chaplains belonged in the ambulances,

and there was a fear of the chaplains

being overtly religious and pushy.

But after a few months, the fears were

gone.

The EMS chaplains are all trained in

CPR and basic first aid so they could

help if they would ever be needed, but

their main responsibility is to provide

comfort, spiritually.

“It’s easier on my crew. We fix

something and transport. We’re not grief

counselors. Dealing with family is not

our forté. The chaplains go (to the

family) and allow us to do our job with

the patient,” Pine said.

Poley sometimes prays with his

charges, “but I’m not pushy. I ask them,

‘Do you mind if I pray for you?’ If they

don’t want me to, I back off.”

“We’re blessed to have Frank,” Pine

said. “Frank is dedicated to us, and it’s

worked really well for the program.”

Poley volunteers eight to 10 hours a

day three days a week, plus call-outs,

which are typically bad situations.

“In today’s day and age, with time

demands, it’s an unusual perk to have

from a volunteer,” Pine said.

The chaplains have become an

integral part of EMS.

“They are always there for us and us

for them,” Pine said. EMS provides the

chaplains with uniforms and helps with

joint fundraising with an area church.

As an EMS chaplain, Poley is there

not only for the bad news, but the good

news as well. Poley has performed

marriages at the station and gave another

away since her father couldn’t be there.

“They are like my kids, the

paramedics and EMTs. They are very

special people,” Poley said. “I’m thrilled

to be doing this. It has given me an

extended family (in addition to his five

daughters and seven grandchildren).”

Poley was born and raised an

orthodox Jew, but later converted to

become a Messianic Jew while living in

Florida. He retired as a Messianic rabbi

with ties close to the International

Alliance of Messianic Congregations and

Synagogues.

After he moved to Pennsylvania to be

with his wife’s elderly mother, Poley

worked for two years at Hersheypark

driving a tram. One day one of his

passengers fell off the back of the tram.

Since she was wearing a large cross, he

asked if he could pray for her while they

waited for an EMT. After they arrived,

she told him he should become a

chaplain.

Not long after that, the EMS started

its chaplaincy program, and Poley knew

that was where he belonged.

“I’m in my 70s. I can give a family

comfort. Why can’t others? There’s no

need for special training to love someone

in troubled times,” Poley said.

There are so many out there who

think retirement is a time to relax and do

nothing, Poley said. “Anyone can just sit

around, read, or watch TV and let their

life go by—why not walk up to

somebody and hold onto them?”

As long as you have the strength,

Poley believes you should take it and do

something with it.

“You are in the fourth quarter, and

the game is not over yet,” Poley said,

quoting Coach Bill McCarthy, founder

of Promise Keepers.

Iam often asked to evaluate

autographs of famous people. Some

autographs are found on a personal

letter or note, on a glossy photograph,

or even on a piece of scrap paper. There

are some rules of thumb when it comes

to assessing autographs.

For instance, content is always king.

With all autographs, value is increased

if the autograph is accompanied by

some content relating to the famous

person who signed their name. To have

content that relates to the signer with

an authentic autograph is more valuable

to collectors than just a simple

autograph.

For example, a letter signed by

Marilyn Monroe complaining about her

failing marriage to husband and

baseball great Joe DiMaggio is much

more valuable than just a cocktail

napkin with Marilyn Monroe’s signature

on it.

Master of the Mouse

One of best-known autographs is that

of the American entertainment icon Walt

Disney. Disney’s

signature actually

became the logo for

the Walt Disney

Company and for

the Walt Disney

Classics Collection.

The logo is based on

Disney’s signature

from the early

1940s and was used

on company

artwork.

Walt Disney autographs were signed

by both Disney and by his authorized

employees. Over the years, at least a

dozen Disney Studios staff members

signed Walt Disney’s name to comics, fan

items, promotional material, etc. The

most common authorized signatures of

Walt Disney were signed by Hank Porter

during the 1930s and 1940s and, later,

by Bob Moore in the 1950s.

Artist Bob Moore

joined The Walt

Disney Studios as

an apprentice

animator in 1940.

He contributed to

animated classics

such as Dumbo, The

Three Caballeros,

and Make Mine

Music. Moore was

named head of the

publicity and

marketing department and designed

Disney movie posters, Christmas cards,

logos, and letterheads.

He was one of Disney’s official

“autographers” and he signed numerous

items (photographs and letters) with

Disney’s famous signature. He designed

Sam the Eagle for the 1984 Olympic

Games and murals housed in Walt

Disney Elementary Schools located in

Tullytown, Pa., and Anaheim, Calif.

Walt Disney never drew the popular

Sunday newspaper Mickey Mouse comic

strip or comic book nor did he sign all of

his autographs, either. Every piece of

artwork was “signed” with a Walt Disney

signature, but Walt Disney did not

provide every signature. Some signatures

came from a production artist, not from

Disney himself.

Authentic Walt Disney autographs,

Apples for All

The Green Mountain Gardener

Dr. Leonard Perry

Whether thinking about apple

trees to buy for planting next

season or buying apples from

local farm stands and pick-your-own-

orchards, there are selections for all

manner of tastes and uses. If you’re

looking to pick your own, most states

have a listing of orchards.

If you’re new to growing or picking

apples, the first question you may ask is,

“When is it ripe and ready to pick?” Like

many fruits, if it separates easily with a

slight tug, it is ripe and ready to pick. If

in doubt, cut an apple open. The seeds

should be brown and not still white.

If you’re picking apples slightly green

or unripe, such as to use in cooking or

for storing (it is best to pick slightly

unripe for storing), lift sideways and

upwards with a twist. Make sure not to

damage any of the short stems (spurs)

from which fruit next year will be

produced.

Ripe apples should store in the

refrigerator for four to six weeks. The

early apples tend to

store for shorter

periods than the late

ones. Refrigerate soon

after picking, as apples

will ripen six or more

times faster if left at

room temperature.

Don’t cut apples

until ready to eat or

cook, as all but a few

selections will turn

brown within an hour

or two. You can delay

this by soaking slices

in an anti-browning

product available at most grocers or

using a mixture of one part lemon juice

to three parts water.

For fresh eating—the “dessert”

apples—try Fuji, Gala, or Golden Russet

for a sweet flavor. For tart apples, try

Granny Smith, Northern Spy, or

Winesap. Some taste

both sweet and tart

such as Jonagold,

Honey Crisp, and

Mutsu. Since taste is

quite personal, you’ll

want to try various

ones to see which you

find best. If you don’t

already have favorites,

don’t get too worried

about which apples are

best for which

purposes, as many do

well with multiple uses.

Some of the best for

baking uses (pies and other desserts, for

instance) are Cortland, Empire, Golden

Delicious, Idared, Jonagold, Jonamac,

Jonathan, Liberty, Northern Spy, Rhode

Island Greening, and Stayman Winesap.

For sauces, some make a more chunky

sauce such as Cortland, Empire,

Gravenstein, and Jonathan. Others make

a smoother applesauce, such as McIntosh

and its types and Yellow Transparent.

Cook a red apple with the skin on to

make the sauce pink.

For making cider, your selection will

depend on whether you like it sweet or

more tart. Cortland, McIntosh, and

Idared make a more tart cider, while Red

or Golden Delicious or Empire make a

sweeter cider. For a sweeter aroma from

cider, try Jonathon and Baldwin. Try

some Rhode Island Greening or

crabapples for more astringent cider.

While much store cider may be only

one cultivar, making your own you can

experiment and try various

combinations.

Dr. Leonard P. Perry is an extension professor

at the University of Vermont.

Help you get the word out!

The End of Alzheimer’s Starts with YOU …It only takes two words—Alzheimer’s

disease—to stop life in its tracks. Every

68 seconds, someone in America

develops the currently cureless disease.

Alzheimer’s is a type of dementia that

causes problems with memory, thinking,

and behavior. It is not a normal part of

aging, although the greatest risk factor is

age. Symptoms usually develop slowly

and get worse over time, becoming

severe enough to interfere with daily

tasks.

Alzheimer’s is the most common form

of dementia—a general term for

memory loss and other intellectual

abilities serious enough to interfere with

daily life. It accounts for 50 to 80

percent of dementia cases.

Alzheimer’s disease is a growing

epidemic and is now the nation’s sixth-

leading cause of death. As baby boomers

age, the number of individuals living

with Alzheimer’s disease will rapidly

escalate, increasing beyond today’s

estimated 5.4 million Americans living

with Alzheimer’s.

With more than 280,000

Pennsylvanians living with Alzheimer’s,

there has never been a greater need for

the citizens of South-Central

Pennsylvania to join in the fight against

Alzheimer’s disease by participating in

the Walk to End Alzheimer’s.

Walk to End Alzheimer’s is more than

just a walk for more than 1,700 locals;

it’s a reflection of their unique journey

and experiences with Alzheimer’s and

their commitment to end the disease.

Our walkers drive our mission, and their

reasons for walking fuel our efforts to

reach our vision: a world without

Alzheimer’s …

Why We Walk …

I was just diagnosed at age 52 with

early onset Alzheimer’s. I was a nurse and

lost my job. I have been laughed at, yelled

at, and called stupid because of

Alzheimer’s. We need to spread awareness

and raise funds to conquer this battle of

Alzheimer’s. – Mary Read, Mary’s Early

Onset Alzheimer Fighters, Lancaster

WTEA

We walk in loving memory and in

honor of my dad. His great-grandchildren

(ages 2 through 7), that he never had the

chance to know, are walking for him as

well. We also walk for friends and other

relatives that have been affected by this

horrific disease in hopes that one day, no

family or person will have to suffer from

the effects of Alzheimer’s. By walking,

raising funds, and raising awareness,

maybe one day our hopes will become

reality. – Dee Promutico, Love Time 54,

York WTEA

I walk to raise awareness about the

disease that is taking my mother from me.

I watch my mother-in-law fade away and

know that this is not what I want for my

son and grandson. I don’t ever want them

to forget just how much I love them. I don’t

want them to forget each other. –

Catherine Chilcoat, Kit Dot Dash,

Lancaster WTEA

Why Will You Walk …

By participating in the Walk to End

Alzheimer’s, you are leading the way!

Together, we can raise awareness and

funds to enhance Alzheimer’s care and

support and advance research.

1920s differ from those of the early

1960s. He signed his name in both

cursive and block print (known as

Roman lettering), and he used every type

of writing instrument to sign his name,

including pencils, markers, fountain

pens, ballpoint pens, and crayons.

Disney redesigned his own signature

over the years, in very much the same

way he changed the appearance of

Mickey Mouse. The most common Walt

Disney signatures date from the period

after 1954, when Disney was seen

regularly on television, and up to the

time of his death in 1967 at age 65.

These autographs are among the most

popular and collectible.

On Discovery channel’s Auction Kings,

I will highlight a collection of famous

autographs and their worth while

demonstrating the tricks so you can spot

a fake. It is interesting to note that an

authentic Disney autograph can actually

command more money from collectors

than most autographs of our U.S.

presidents. About 40 of our presidents’

autographs are worth less on the

collectibles market than an authentic

Walt Disney autograph. What’s more, it

has been said that Disney’s autograph is

the most recognizable in the world.

The 1930 U.S. Census is

important for researchers because

it was the last census to include

information on immigration and

naturalization, key elements in

researching immigrant ancestors.

The official starting date of the 1930

census was April 1, and it took about a

month to complete. Children born

between the official start date of the

census and the actual day of enumeration

were not included. Individuals living on

the official start date of the census but

deceased by the actual day of

enumeration were included.

Native Americans (then referred to as

“Indians”) were included in the

enumeration of the general population,

though they were asked different

questions, as were individuals in Alaska.

For example, Native Americans were not

asked about their mother’s country of

origin, but rather, which tribe she

belonged to.

Servicemen were not recorded with

their families in the 1930 census; they

were treated as residents of their duty

posts. When

searching for

someone in the

military, don’t

assume he or she

will be listed in

their hometown.

In my last

column, I reviewed

several questions

asked in the 1930

census, dealing with home information,

personal description, and place of birth

for individuals who were enumerated.

The next set of questions was headed

“Mother tongue (or native language) of

foreign born,” subtitled “Language

spoken in home before coming to the

United States.”

As previously noted, an immigrant’s

place of birth was to be listed as the

present (1930) name of the country

where he or she was

born. The answer

to the language

question is

important, because

it addresses the

ethnicity of the

individual.

For example, a

person who was

ethnically Polish

may have been born in Prussia (which

conquered parts of Poland), with a

birthplace listed as Austria (the 1930

name), but the “mother tongue” column

would show “Polish” as the language

spoken. This can help in locating the

actual town of birth.

The next set of questions come in

three columns under the heading

“Citizenship, etc.” First, “Year of

immigration to the United States,” then

“Naturalization,” and then “Whether

able to speak English.” You must

appreciate that the date of immigration is

a secondary record; that is, it was the

date given by an individual from

memory, with no documentary evidence.

However, it was generally given correctly,

within one or two years.

The immigration year can be used to

narrow down searches for passenger

manifests. The date can also be compared

to the answer given for “Year of first

marriage” to estimate whether the person

was married before or after coming to

the U.S. If the person was married before

immigration, a marriage record should

exist in the town of origin; if after, you

should search church and civil records

from the U.S. locality where the

immigrant lived.

In the “Naturalization” column,

you’ll find one of the following

abbreviations: “Na” (naturalized); “Al”

(alien); or “Pa” (papers applied for). If

the note is “Na” or “Pa,” you can

assume that the individual applied for

or was granted U.S. citizenship after the

date of immigration and before April 1,

1930.

Further research in the seat of the

county where the immigrant lived may

turn up his or her naturalization

records, which will contain a wealth of

background information. If a person’s

status was “Al” (alien), he or she would

have had to apply for citizenship

sometime after April 1, 1930, or failing

that, either register as an alien or return

to their homeland.

The next questions cover

“occupation,” “industry,” and “class of

worker.” Employers were noted by “E,”

wage or salaried workers as “W,” and a

person who was working on his or her

own account was “O.” If a person was

working without pay it was noted as

“NP.” Passenger manifests and records

from towns of origin may also give

occupations. Compare them to confirm

identities.

Under “employment,” the census

asked whether at work previous day (or

last regular working day)—or, if not, it

asked for the line number on an

unemployment schedule (these

schedules no longer exist).

Under “veterans,” for those who

answered yes, the appropriate war was

noted as “WW” for World War (by

1930, there had been only one), “Sp” for

Spanish-American War, “Civ” for Civil

War, “Phil” for Philippine Insurrection,

“Box” for Boxer Rebellion, and “Mex”

for Mexican Expedition. Records for

many of these wars still exist and can be

searched for further information.

Finally, a column showed “Number

of farm schedule.” These schedules no

longer exist, except for Alaska, Guam,

American Samoa, the Virgin Islands,

and Puerto Rico.

references and check them. Most elder

mediators are attorneys, social workers,

counselors, or other professionals who

are trained in mediation and conflict

resolution.

To locate an elder mediator, start by

calling your area agency on aging, which

may be able to refer you to local

resources. Or try websites like

eldercaremediators.com and

mediate.com. Both of these sites have

directories that will let you search for

mediators in your area.

Or, use the National Association for

(www.nafcm.org) to search for free or

low-cost, community-based mediation

programs in your area.

MEDIATION from page 8

“The Writing Is on the Wall”This phrase derives from the Book of Daniel in the

Bible’s Old Testament. Belshazzar, the king of Israel,

had stolen from the temple in Jerusalem. At a party

where wine was being consumed, the fingers of a

man’s hand appeared and wrote on the wall.

The interpretation of the writing was that the

king’s days were numbered. He had been weighed

on the scales and found deficient, and his

kingdom was divided and given to the Medes and

Persians. That same night, Belshazzar was killed.
