Lebanon County 50plus Senior News April 2012

By Megan Joyce

As in years past, the contestants for the 2012 PA State Senior Idol

competition will celebrate their diversity: different musical styles, different

stage presentations, and—with ages ranging from 50 to 80 or better—a few

decades between them as well.

But the common thread woven amongst them all seems to be an essential,

cherished love for performance: for the joy it brings both them and their

audiences, for the thrill of connecting to strangers through something as

intangible and evanescent as a song, a dance, or a comedic routine.

It’s like that for Steve Albright of Jacobus, a retired Maryland native who

works part-time as a pharmacy delivery driver. Though he played the

trumpet for about 10 years during his school years, it wasn’t until his

daughter took up the French horn that his love for his own long-silent brass

instrument was rekindled.

And it wasn’t until a few years even later that his passion for performance

was reawakened as well. Albright was delivering medications to an area

retirement community when he observed a gentleman playing the accordion

for the community’s appreciative residents.

“This just struck a chord with me,” he said. “I remembered the

gratification that I used to get from doing that, because [seniors] are the best

Iam a firm believer in the ritual of

spring cleaning. When it comes to

the seasonal cleanup, many people

believe that the easiest thing to do is to

just throw everything away. However,

that’s not always smart.

On a regular basis, I visit homes of

people who are downsizing or people

who are cleaning out the home of a

deceased loved one.

I help evaluate what objects are worth

keeping and what objects are worth

selling, and I show people the

smartest way to get the

most money for

unwanted

objects—both

new and old. I

remind folks

that trashing

that unwanted

item may cost

you.

Today, those

objects represent

the much-needed

money for rising

healthcare costs

and other vital

needs.

Far too many

families make uninformed and costly

decisions about valuable objects without

unbiased professional help.

I visit thousands of homes every year

nationwide and share my sound advice

and expertise about the value of

unwanted objects. I show folks how to

identify the valuables and glean much-

needed cash for them.

Get the 411Consider this: Grandma passes away.

In order to put the house up for sale,

Grandma’s family members meet at her

vacant house to empty it.

The family works to throw away most

of Grandma’s stuff: beaded purses,

ceramic canister sets, silverware. Her

belongings—the same items that were

perfectly fine a few weeks ago before her

death—make their way from the house’s

empty rooms to the Dumpster in the

driveway.

Just because Grandma’s family doesn’t

want her belongings doesn’t magically

make these items worthless. Grandma

had been insuring her personal property

including art, antiques, and collectibles

for at least $100,000 under a typical

homeowner’s insurance policy for years,

yet suddenly her items have no value!

This is ridiculous. You wouldn’t set

fire to Grandma’s house because she’s not

using it anymore, would you?

Grandma’s 20-year-old grandson

probably won’t realize that Grandma’s set

of 1940s Blue Ridge dishes are valued at

$30 per plate as he Frisbee tosses them

into the Dumpster. Grandma’s

daughter doesn’t know

that her mother’s late

1880s Victorian

side chair is worth

$500. Grandma’s

nephew, an

accountant,

doesn’t

recognize an

old family

portrait painting

as a work by an

esteemed Colonial

artist with a $75,000

retail value.

Grandma’s family

unknowingly throws

away a significant

amount of money, just as if they opened

their wallets and threw the cash into the

street.

Some families host yard sales or house

sales to generate some funds; however,

be sure you know what you are putting

up for sale and be certain that your

prices are correct. I have seen many

items priced much too low when family

members are organizing a yard sale of

Grandma’s unwanted items.

For instance, I saw a $20,000

American Impressionist landscape

painting offered for $10 with a bright-

green yard sale sticker affixed to its

frame! Don’t let it go until you know

what it’s worth.

Dear Savvy Senior,

My 60-year-old husband has

become a terrible snorer, especially

over the past few years. It’s gotten to

the point I can’t stand to sleep in the

same room as him anymore. What can

help us?

– Sleepless Sandy

Dear Sandy,

Most people don’t think there’s

much they can do to fix their

snoring problems,

but that’s not true

anymore. Today,

there are number

of viable tips and

treatments that can

make a big

difference for

snorers and their

suffering spouses.

Here’s what you

should know.

Snoring is very

common. If fact,

it’s estimated that

nearly half of all

adults in the U.S. snore at least

occasionally, and 25 percent snore

habitually. But men are the ones

who tend to be loud problem

snorers, as well as people who are

overweight. And snoring often gets

worse with age.

Self-Help Remedies While there’s no surefire cure for

snoring, there are a variety of things

your husband can try to help reduce

or eliminate the problem, including:

• Slim down: If he’s overweight, a

10 percent loss of body weight can

help open up his airway and

reduce snoring.

• Stop smoking. If your husband’s a

smoker, quitting will help.

Smoking causes inflammation in

the upper airways that can make

snoring worse.

• Avoid alcohol and sedatives:

Sleeping pills, painkillers,

tranquilizers, and alcoholic

beverages all relax the muscles in

the throat, which makes snoring

more likely. He should avoid all

of these three to four hours before

bedtime.

• Change sleeping positions:

Snoring is more common when

you sleep on your back. To

prevent this, sew a tennis ball in

the back of a t-shirt or his pajama

top. This will make sleeping on

his back uncomfortable and teach

him to sleep in a more breathing-

friendly side position. Or, buy a

snoring pillow that’s designed to

promote side sleeping.

• Tilt the bed: Raising the head of

the bed by 4 inches can also help

reduce snoring by helping him

breathe easier. He can do this by

placing some bricks or boards

under the headboard legs, or

purchase some inexpensive bed

raisers. Or insert a foam wedge

under the head of the mattress.

• Clear nasal passages: If nasal

congestion is causing your

husband to snore, nasal strips

may help, or if allergies are the

cause, try steroid or saline nasal

sprays. Antihistamines can help

with allergies but can worsen

snoring. Also consider purchasing

a humidifier for the bedroom.

This can help to reduce

congestion and moisturize the

throat.

When to See a DoctorLoud snoring can be a sign of

obstructive sleep apnea (see

www.sleepapnea.org), a serious

condition in which the snorer stops

breathing many times a night. Left

untreated, it can cause high blood

pressure and can sharply increase

the risk for stroke and heart attack.

If your husband is frequently

sleepy during the day, stops

breathing during sleep, or snorts

awake, gasping for

breath, then it’s

time to see an

otolaryngologist or a

sleep specialist who

may recommend an

overnight study at a

sleep center. Even if

he doesn’t have

these symptoms,

these types of

doctors can help

ease his snoring if

the other remedies

have failed.

A common

treatment for sleep apnea and

severe snoring is a continuous

positive airway pressure (CPAP)

device. This involves sleeping with

a snorkel-like mask that’s hooked

up to a machine that gently blows

air up your nose to keep the

passages open.

Other treatment options include

an oral appliance that fits into the

mouth over the teeth like a

removable mouth guard or retainer,

as well as Provent therapy

(www.proventtherapy.com), which

involves small nasal devices that

attach over the nostrils to improve

airflow and breathing.

If these don’t work, surgery is an

option too. There are several

procedures that are offered today

that can help, including the new

minimally invasive pillar palatal

implant that has a 75 percent

success rate.

Ilived in California for many years,

but it wasn’t until last year that I

began to learn the secrets of one of its

greatest cities—San Francisco. Oh, I’d

walked the Golden Gate, noodled

around Chinatown, and shopped in

Union Square, but I’d never heard the

gossip.

Then I took three neighborhood

tours, each led by residents who showed

me the hidden places and told me the

scandalous stories. Finally, I feel like a

native.

North BeachThe American Planning Association

calls North Beach one of 10 “great

neighborhoods in America,” and it’s easy

to see why. It’s a community in every

sense of the word—a place where people

walk, talk, and eat.

That’s exactly what my husband and I

do during our award-winning Local

Tastes of the City Tour. Tom Medin,

owner and guide, begins by giving us the

history of the area. It was, he says, settled

by Italians, and then became a hangout

for members of the Beat Generation and

a risqué nightclub district. But now it’s

relaxed into an area of small shops,

eateries, bakeries, and delicatessens.

He leads us from one to another,

feeding us fascinating facts to digest

along with the food. By the end of the

tour, when we go into Café Trieste, a

coffeehouse frequented by the likes of

Steve Allen, Woody Allen, Pavarotti, and

Bill Cosby, I’m feeling like I am an in-

the-loop San Franciscan.

That night, to solidify our city-wise

credentials, we go to Beach Blanket

Babylon, a San Francisco staple since

1974. We sip wine and watch

performers, who wear outrageous hats

that are 4 or 5 feet tall as they spoof all

things political and most things sacred.

The man next to me laughs so hard that

he spills his wine into my lap. I barely

notice because I’m laughing equally hard.

ChinatownWe’re walking through San Francisco’s

Chinatown, but the bustling crowds of

Grant Avenue seem far away. On the

back streets men are playing mah jong,

women are folding disks of dough into

fortune-cookie packets, and a man is

weighing medicinal herbs for a customer

who has a hacking cough.

“Nee haw, hello,” I say, trying out my

one phrase of Chinese. Our leader—she

doesn’t like to be called a “guide”—

laughs. “No, no, no,” she says. “That’s

Mandarin Chinese. Here in San

Francisco, most of the Chinese speak

Cantonese. It’s nay ho.”

That’s only the first of many things we

learn as we follow Shirley Fong-Torres,

a.k.a., the Wok-Wiz, through the part of

Chinatown where, as she says, “real

people live, work, and play.”

She points to a mural on an alley wall

and explains the custom it depicts.

“That’s not just a pretty painting,” she

says. “It’s a picture of one of our Chinese

New Year activities.”

Next we go into a store filled with

imitation cell phones, television sets,

food, and clothing, all made out of

paper. The Chinese, we learn, want to

make sure their relatives have all the

comforts of this world when they

journey to the next one.

Again, without Shirley, we’d have

missed the real meaning of what we were

seeing. We’d have thought the items were

simply cute children’s toys.

Nob HillWe take a cable car to the Fairmont,

the grand dame of hotels atop San

Francisco’s Nob Hill. It seems apropos

since the cable car is what allowed the

19th century’s most privileged folks to live

in rarefied hilltop air, far above the “low-

life” who frequented the docks. The

street was simply too steep for horse-

drawn carriages.

Valerie Huff, owner of Hobnob Tours,

meets us and leads us first through the

public rooms of the grand hotel, then on

a two-hour, flat-ground tour of the

neighborhood. Before the earthquake of

1906, the area was filled with grand

mansions and luxury hotels, all but two

of which were destroyed by the post-

quake fires. Today the area is again filled

with homes of the affluent.

Valerie laughs as she dispenses gossipy

tidbits. I learn, for example, that two

feuding barons each hired bodyguards to

protect one from the other, and that a

rich widow disinherited her son when he

opposed her marriage to a younger man.

By the time the tour ends, I know

why Nob Hill is sometimes called “snob

hill,” and I’m reveling in my insider

status.

We’ve only begun to explore the

neighborhoods in depth, but for now my

mind is full and my feet are sore!

When Dennis Benchoff was

accepted as a cadet at West

Point in 1962, he could

scarcely imagine that he would one day

become a three-star general. Or that he

would have under his command the

weapons that could kill hundreds of

thousands of enemy troops.

But in 1988, when he was a brigadier

general and commanding general of the

59th Ordnance Brigade in Europe, he got

the order that was to present him with

one of the most monumental challenges

of his 36-year military career.

At a depot in Clausen, Germany, we

had amassed 100,000 artillery shells

filled with deadly VX and GD nerve

agents capable of killing hundreds of

thousands of enemy troops.

They were so dangerous that a mere

drop of the VX or whiff of the GD could

kill a person, blocking the nerves

between the brain and the lungs and

preventing the lungs

from functioning.

Anyone who came

anywhere near those

shells always wore

protective equipment.

But hadn’t the

Geneva Convention

outlawed the use of

such chemical

weapons?

“Yes,” Benchoff

says, “but not the

ability to have them,

should the need to

use them ever arise.”

He adds, “We, of

course, had no

thought of starting a conflict with

chemical weapons. But, on the other

hand, we had to be able to respond if the

Soviets ever used chemical weapons to

attack us.”

By the summer of

1988, however,

President Bush had

decided that the other

weapons we had at

our disposal provided

more than enough

deterrent to any such

move by the Soviets.

So he took the bold

step of deciding to

destroy the entire

cache of chemical

weapons.

The only facility

equipped to destroy

such weapons was

Johnston Atoll in the

Pacific. Therefore, the first question to be

answered was whether the weapons

should be shipped there to be incinerated

or whether a new such facility should be

built in Europe.

Johnston Atoll is a 1-square-mile atoll

that is about 750 nautical miles west of

Hawaii. It had no indigenous

inhabitants, and in the mid-1980s, it

became our facility for chemical weapons

disposal. It housed what was essentially a

huge furnace that was used to incinerate

such weapons.

For considerations of time, money,

and geography, it was selected as the

place to dispose of the chemical weapons

we had at the Clausen Depot. That

choice of Johnston Atoll was rather easy,

and even sending the weapons by ship

from Germany was rather

straightforward.

The problem was how to get the huge

stockpile of weapons from Clausen to

Nordenham, the German port from

which the vessel would leave on its trip

to deep in the Pacific.

His Assignment: Move Tons of Nerve Gas

to Be Destroyed in the PacificRobert D. Wilcox

Salute to a Veteran

LTG Benchoff at his retirement

ceremony in 1998.

please see ASSIGNMENT page 14

Not long ago I met a

gentleman who proudly

announced that at age 71,

he had just passed his state’s bar

exam. He said he recognized that

having his law license would greatly

enhance his business, so he went to

law school. Obviously, how others

might define retirement isn’t how he

defines it.

And apparently it wasn’t how

Harland Sanders defined it either, as

I understand that his little fried

chicken business was inspired by a

family recipe but funded by his

Social Security checks.

Why do retirees keep working?

Sure, the extra income, but research

indicates that continuing to work,

even part-time paid or volunteer, is

the way many choose to stay

physically active, engaged in social

interactions, and challenged. (It is

said that the three M’s of successful

aging are moving, mingling, and

mastery.)

After all, retirement at 65

sounded reasonable back when we

didn’t live another 20 or 30 years

afterward, but now? Decades of

pursuing only leisure activities may

sound terrific to some, but certainly

not to all.

Sociologist William Sadler coined

the term “Third Age” to refer to the

time in life when, after the “First

Age” (our youth, when we are

dependent on others and pursuing

our education and careers) and after

the “Second

Age” (the

parenting and

working

years), we can

stay involved

in our careers

or we can

explore

different

opportunities

and learn new

skills. The

Third Age is

the time when

we can actively

work toward

making the

most of the

life we have left.

But are we physically and

emotionally up to this challenge?

After all, half of us have at least one

chronic health concern, and three-

quarters of us have two or more.

Can we actually do this?

Well, just as the stereotypes of

retirement are changing, so is the

approach to healthcare for those

who are of retirement age. There’s

an increased emphasis on what’s

called “self-management healthcare,”

and for those who are

enthusiastically taking on their

Third Age, it seems a good fit. After

all, if we are going to take charge of

our Third Age life, why not take

charge of our Third Age health?

Of course, in truth, our entire

adult lives we

have self-

managed our

health; this is

really nothing

new. Ever since

we moved out

on our own,

we have chosen

and controlled

what we ate or

drank, whether

or not we

smoked, if we

exercised,

fastened our

seatbelts, or

saw the dentist

twice a year.

So, the issue is not how to start

self-managing our health in this

Third Age, but how to get better at

it.

You may find that your doctor is

shifting away from telling you what

to do and leaning more toward

asking you how he or she can help

and suggesting ways you can take

on more responsibility. Be it how to

prevent or how to manage, your

doctor might be eliciting more of

your active participation in the

pursuit of better health.

You, after all, are your own

primary health provider and now, in

this Third Age, it’s time to get fully

involved.

audiences—they really are.”

In fact, in his youth, Albright had

once been a member of a band that used

to play at facilities and hospitals in

Baltimore County, Md.

And so, two years ago, he dusted off

his trumpet, warmed up his vocal chords,

and began assembling his “Songs of the

’60s” program, which he now performs

regularly for thankful crowds at York

County assisted living facilities, nursing

homes, and retirement communities.

“One time an elderly woman and her

husband came up to me and said how

much they enjoyed [my program] and

said it reminded them of years ago,

listening to their old Bert Kaempfert

Christmas album,” Albright said.

As for Senior Idol, Albright hopes to

make some connections with other local

performers who might be interested in

joining him to produce a Christmas

album of their own—its proceeds

benefiting cancer and Alzheimer’s disease

research, which afflicted his father and

mother, respectively.

“It gives me satisfaction to know that

at least I can do something: I can provide

pleasure for folks that definitely are

much less fortunate than I am,” he said.

“I’m fortunate to be healthy and have a

healthy family … They say laughter is

the best medicine, but I think music is

awfully good medicine too for the soul.”

Victoria Newcomer would likely agree

to music’s soul-stirring capabilities. The

Mount Joy resident has been a nursery

school teacher for almost 20 years but

also has a “weekend job” as the singer in

a small classic-rock band.

Her parents started cultivating their

daughter’s vocal chops early on, calling

on her to perform for their guests

whenever they entertained at their

Pittsburgh home.

“From the time I was 4—whether [the

guests] wanted to hear it or not—my

parents actually had me sing,” she

laughed. “People seemed to enjoy it.”

In her teens she participated in her

high school’s choruses and musicals as

well as a top 40 band she formed with

five friends. At age 16 she started to sing

at weddings, a practice she continued for

the next 25 years. Then, five years ago,

she and a friend began singing in

restaurants, bars, and local

establishments around Lancaster County

on weekends.

“I pretty much stick to classic rock

and blues, but I enjoy all music,”

Newcomer said. “I have an appreciation

for everything.”

She is eager to satisfy her performance

bug at this year’s Senior Idol

competition, hoping her “non-

conformist” and “a little edgy” style and

song choice help her stand out from her

fellow competitors.

“I am a little bit of a ham,” she

admitted. “It’s just an exciting time when

you actually perform and people are

responding to what you’re doing.”

Describing herself as “truly a people

person,” Newcomer is also looking

forward to meeting new people and

anticipates a fun overall experience at PA

State Senior Idol.

“It’s a cool way to showcase those of

us who have made it to the half-century

mark,” she said, then added with an

audible smile: “And my younger son

convinced me to do it.”

Robert Long of Reading, on the other

hand, will be reviving the standards at

Senior Idol, much like he revived his

musicality after a 17-year hiatus. Long

started out with the acoustic guitar at age

11 and took lessons for 12 years,

switching to the steel guitar after being

told his “fingers were too short for a

regular guitar.” But the change paid off

unexpectedly in 1959.

“The steel guitar came in handy

because, when Hawaii joined the Union,

then they had Hawaiian parties and

people would call me to play Hawaiian

music,” Long remembered.

Through his early adulthood and

beyond, Long played with different

musical groups, including one formation

where he took up electric bass and

another where he sang harmony behind

the band’s female vocalist. After marrying

his wife, a pianist, the Longs set out as a

duo with the accompaniment of a drum

machine, playing cocktail music in area

restaurants.

When, at age 63, Long retired after a

45-year career at a pretzel plant, he

retired from his music as well. Fast-

forward 17 years, and Long suddenly

rediscovered his vocal gifts while singing

along to some jazz records. Soon, a

friend helped him record 20 songs—

classics like Sinatra—against prerecorded

background music.

“It sort of amazes me with my voice,”

he said. “I haven’t sung in 17 years and

all of a sudden—I’m amazing myself, the

way it sounds. I’m just having such a

good time with it.”

The end result was a complete CD as

well as three sets of 20 practiced songs

that Long now rotates between two

steady, monthly gigs at assisted living

and nursing homes.

“I like to sing for the seniors because

they really enjoy it,” he said. “It makes

you feel good, to see them tapping their

toes and their mouths are going; they’re

humming along with you. It just gives

me a lot of pleasure.”

And, judging by the grateful welcome

he has received from his peers already, his

reception at PA State Senior Idol

promises to be just as friendly.

“I had a lady in a wheelchair last

month come up to me,” Long recalled,

“and she says, ‘You can sing for me

anytime.’”

ASSIGNMENT from page 8

That’s where Benchoff and his staff

came in. The 59th Ordnance Brigade was

responsible for security and maintenance

of our nuclear and chemical weapons in

Northern Europe, so it was their

challenge to figure out how the move

could be made and then to make it

happen. Above

all, they had to

make sure that

all went safely.

Their plan

became to move

the weapons by

truck to a

railhead near

Kaiserslautern

and then carry

them by rail to

Nordenham,

where they

would be

loaded on a ship

that would take them to the Pacific.

Cost of the move? Some $100 million.

For six months the planning for the

entire operation had been on a need-to-

know basis … highly secret. Then it was

decided that it was about time for us to

take credit for this delicate but highly

important mission.

From the time the decision was made

public, criticism was rampant. Germans

who lived along the route the weapons

would take protested loudly about being

put in grave peril. And peace groups like

Greenpeace protested moving such

potentially deadly cargo through

Germany and to the Pacific.

At Clausen, the weapons had been

stored deep in bunkers, with guards and

motion-sensing radar to prevent

saboteurs from taking any action against

them. In making the move, there were

guards everywhere, even helicopters

overhead—everything that was needed

to keep the shipment secure.

Were there any accidents during the

move?

“Well, just one,” Benchoff says, “when

some canisters fell off a pallet being

loaded by forklift. We had been using

four teams working in six-hour shifts.

We quickly formed a fifth team, which

was to instantly

replace any shift

that had

another such

accident. This

wasn’t training;

it was a real

mission. So

every soldier

considered it a

high honor to

be part of the

operation.

And, with the

possibility of

their being

replaced on the mission, we never had

another accident of any kind occur

during the whole operation.

“My responsibility ended when the

last pallet was loaded and the ship sailed

beyond the 12-mile limit and entered

international water space.”

The Federal Republic of Germany

recognized the significance of the

mission by awarding Benchoff the

Distinguished Service Cross with Gold

Star, the highest award it gave to a

person who was not German.

Benchoff went on to hold increasingly

important positions until his retirement

from the army in July 1998 as a

lieutenant general. He and his wife,

Barbara, now live in Central

Pennsylvania, where he is an adjunct

professor of mathematics for Harrisburg

Area Community College.

Why are there flotation devices under plane

Why do we drive on parkways and park on

Why does monosyllabic have five syllables?

Picture this: Two generations, two

houses. One party sells their house and

moves in with the other family,

expanding the remaining house to

accommodate everyone. There is a

huge money savings, and families can

be together to ease the aging process

for the elder members. Here are a few

ideas from Tri-Valley Contractors for

how to create space in a

multigenerational house.

• A two-car garage is a perfect space

to create a kitchenette, small sitting

room, and bedroom. Exchange the

garage doors for elegant French

doors for easy,

first-floor access.

• Build a sidewalk down to a

finished basement for a spacious

and wheelchair-accessible

apartment.

• Build an additional bedroom over

an existing garage, or attach a two-

story addition on the back of the

house, opening up communal

spaces.

Tri-Valley Contractors meets the

needs of multigenerational families

with creativity and unparalleled

service through the entire process.
