COVER STORY

Moved to Make a Difference in the Fight Against Cancer

Studies show peopleare more likely tocomplete radiation

and chemotherapy ontime when they are physi-cally active,” says exercisespecialist Abby Peck. Shefounded a free exercise pro-gram for people diagnosedwith cancer. PAISBC standsfor Physical ActivityIntervention for SurvivingBeyond Cancer. It’s pro-nounced “pays back,”because as Peck says,“Youdo the exercise, and it paysyou back.”

Peck leads the program onthe second floor of theNortheast RadiationOncology Center inDunmore, with the supportof NROC and grants fromSusan G. Komen for theCure. She’s helped over 270people over five years. Peckworks one on one witheveryone from 20-year sur-vivors to those newly diag-nosed.

Olympic LeadershipPeck knows a bit aboutphysical fitness. She playedmost sports offered in highschool, taught skiing, start-ed a rowing club at her college and competed

internationally in rowing forseven years, including the1984 and 1988 OlympicGames.

Physical ImprovementPAISBC focuses on strengthtraining, cardiovascularwork, increasing range ofmotion and flexibility. It’stailored to take intoaccount the fatigue andother challenges of thoseundergoing treatment.Although Peck explains,“People who exercise haveless fatigue, more energyand less pain and discom-fort during treatment.Studies show treatment istolerated better with physi-cal activity. It also helps pre-vent lymphedema. Timeand time again, exercise isproven to have a positiveimpact on depression andanxiety.”

Support & StrengthThe program provides morethan physical benefits. Pecksays participants shareexperiences and support.“They don’t have to worry ifthey want to take their wigoff because they’retoo hot andsweaty. Theycan ask

questions,” Peck explains.“They create beautifulstrong bonds of friendship.”Peck strives to give partici-pants a sense of positivecontrol over their bodies.“When you have a disease,it’s very common to feelyour body has betrayedyou. For cancer particularly,the treatments may feelworse than the disease,” sheadmits.“It’s nice to havesomething you can do thatfeels good, gets youstronger and more capable,helps you decrease theodds of recurrence for can-cer and improves overallhealth.”

Life-Changing ResultsAlthough Peck leads the program, shelearns from the participants.“These folksare so courageous and inspiring. They’velooked death in the face, and they’vecome out of it with an altered perspectiveand priorities. They don’t sweat the smallstuff,” she explains. “I’m honored to beable to witness that and participate in it.All of our energies together create thiswonderful upward spiral; it feels wonder-ful.” Peck says many women have madedrastic and positive changes through theprogram.

How Can YouInsure Your Future?

Long ago, people realized that there isstrength in numbers.

For hundreds of years, wehave been joining forcesagainst all kinds ofcalamities— includingfinancial troubles.

The concept of insurance issimply that if enough of uscan pool our money toform a large enough fund,then together we can han-dle practically any financialdisaster. Our motivation forcontributing to this fund isour own eligibility to drawfrom it in the event of a dis-aster.

Purchasing individual orfamily insurance coverage isprobably one of the mostimportant financial deci-sions a person will make. Agreat deal of study andadvice is needed to choosewisely. A few basic guide-lines can safely be appliedto most consumers. Beyondthese, each individual’sneeds are unique and

itself but also to its con-tents. Carefully examinepolicies that exclude cover-age in certain areas, the“policy exclusions.”

From whom should I buy?Always buy from a financial-ly strong company. Take thetime to shop around for thebest prices with the mostcoverage for your specificsituation. You may be ableto save money by buyingmultiple policies from thesame agent.

How much insurance do you need?A good rule of thumb is-don’t insure yourselfagainst misfortunes youcan pay for yourself.Insurance is there to protectyou in case of an event withoverwhelming expenses. Ifanything short of a calamitydoes occur, it will usuallycost you less in actual coststhan the insurance premi-ums you would have paid.

What kind of policy is best?Broader is better. Purchaseinsurance that will cover asmany misfortunes as possi-ble with a single policy; forexample, homeownersinsurance that covers notonly damage to the house

Can You Afford Early Retirement?Advice from Pennstar Bank

Early retirement is aphrase manyAmericans wish they

could turn into a reality.While retiring in your 50s orearly 60s sounds enticing, ittypically requires years ofplanning to make sureyou've accumulatedenough retirement assetsto last for 20 or 30 years ormore. It's important to fac-tor in how an early retire-ment could affect yourSocial Security benefits,options for health insuranceand the nest egg you planto rely on for ongoing livingexpenses.

Social Security andMedicareThose who collect SocialSecurity at age 62, the earli-est age when most retireesare eligible, face a perma-nent reduction in benefits.For example, if your fullretirement age is 66, col-lecting benefits at age 62will result in a 25 percentreduction in the monthlybenefit you would havereceived by retiring at 66.

Those born in 1960 or laterwill experience a perma-nent 30 percent benefit cutif they choose to begin col-lecting benefits at age 62

instead of their full retire-ment age of 67. In contrast,delaying benefits past fullretirement age results in ahigher benefit, with a maxi-mum delayed retirementcredit of 8 percent annuallyfor those who were born in1943 or later and wait untilage 70 to retire.

Regardless of your agewhen you retire, SocialSecurity is not likely to payall of your living expenses.Social Security currentlycomprises 36 percent of theincome of Americans aged65 and older, with remain-ing income coming fromemployer-sponsored retire-ment plans, wages andother sources.

Finding health insurance isequally important if youplan to retire early.Eligibility for Medicarebegins at age 65, and thosewho retire earlier typicallymust obtain health insur-ance on their own orthrough a formeremployer, which cancost thousands ofdollars annuallyin premiums.

Saving and BudgetingEarly retirement typicallyrequires a larger nest egg tofinance living expensesover a longer period oftime. Contributing as muchas you can afford to quali-fied retirement accounts,such as an IRA or anemployer-sponsored retire-ment plan, can help youbuild this nest egg.Retiring early requiresadvance planning to makethe situation work to youradvantage. If you have thefinancial resources to do it,you may want to start theprocess at your earliestopportunity.

An Entrepreneur’s Homestead Turned

Home Away from HomeThe Evolution of Bethany Village Senior Living Community

Woolworth executive JohnStrongman

found respite in therolling hills of WayneCounty when he built acountry estate and gen-tleman’s cattle farm inBethany in 1903. Todaythat same estate outside ofHonesdale offers rest andrelaxation to 55 residents asBethany Village SeniorLiving Community.

Change of HandsIn the 1920s, the estateacquired seven farms andseveral smaller pieces ofproperty totaling nearly1,000 acres. At the time,the estate was valued atover $2 million. HortenseStrongman Miller, daughterof the original owner, latertook over the estate andeventually passed it on toher son, Byron StrongmanMiller.

Rest and RelaxationIn 1964, Miller sold theestate to William H. Wilson,who established a resort onthe property. In 1967,Bethany Lodge Inc. made anumber of improvementsincluding a 30-unit motel. In1978, the estate wasrenamed The PlayhouseResort and Country Club.

Homestead TurnedHome for ManyIn the late 1980s, the prop-erty was purchased by agroup from New York Cityand renamed BethanyCenter. Approximately $7million was used to exten-sively renovate the estate.In 1998, the property waspurchased by a group oflocal health-care profes-sionals and renamedBethany Village. The group

sought to operate a cam-pus setting with both sen-ior and independent livingoptions. Renovations con-verted the existing buildinginto a Pennsylvania-licensed personal carehome. The renovationsincluded adding a handi-cap-accessible elevator,commercial kitchen anddining room, emergencycall bell system and cos-metic and technicalupgrades. The originalhayloft of Bethany-Homestead farms has beenconverted into a recreation/multi-purpose room whereresidents now enjoymovies, bingo, morningexercise and games.Bethany Village now has 55resident rooms.
