Older Americans Month was established in 1963 when President John F Kennedy designated May as Senior Citizens Month Back then only 17 million living Americans had reached their 65th birthdays About a third of older Americans lived in poverty and there were few programs to meet their needs Interest in older Americans and their concerns was growing however In April of 1963 President John F Kennedys meeting with the National Council of Senior Citizens served as a prelude to designating May as Senior Citizens MonthThanks to President Jimmy Carters 1980 designation what was once called Senior Citizens Month is now called Older Americans Month and has become a traditionHistorically Older Americans Month has been a time to acknowledge the contributions of past and current older persons to our country in particular those who defended our country Every President since JFK has issued a formal

proclamation during or before the month of May asking that the entire nation pay tribute in some way to older persons in their communities Older Americans Month is celebrated across the country through ceremonies events fairs and other such activities The national theme for the May 2014 Older Americans Month celebration is Safe Today Healthy Tomorrow This month Encore Experiences and The PEAK Center will be hosting many programs to coincide with this yearrsquos theme At Encore Experiences you will learn about improving balance prescription abuse prevention being fit in your car putting osteoarthritis pain in its place honoring those that gave the ultimate sacrifice protecting your skin Alzheimerrsquos workshop beating the odds in gambling a meeting with Senator Mensch county spelling bee enriching documentaries and more

EncoreScreeningsMelanoma is a very serious form of cancer that occurs most often in the skin and less frequently in the eye or in the lining of the nose mouth or genitals The word melanoma comes from the Greek words melas (black) and -oma (tumor) Melanoma begins in melanocytes cells that make a pigment called melanin Both light- and dark-skinned people have melanin which gives color to the skin hair and parts of the eye Melanoma is the least common of all skin cancers but the most deadly According to the American Cancer Society melanoma accounts for only about 4 of all skin cancer cases but causes 79 of all skin cancer-related deaths The good news is that when melanoma is detected and treated in its early stages the chances for long-term disease-free survival are excellent About 10 of all people with melanoma have a family history of melanoma You are at increased risk of developing melanoma if there is a family history of melanoma in one or more of your first-degree relatives (parent brother or sister or child) The major environmental risk factor for melanoma is overexposure to the suns damaging rays known as ultraviolet

(UV) radiation People who have fair skin that burns or freckles easily need to be especially careful in the sun Protecting yourself against UV overexposure is an important way you can help reduce your risk of developing melanoma There are two common misconceptions about melanoma The first is that melanomas develop only in sun-exposed areas of the body In fact melanomas can occur in areas not normally exposed to the sun including the abdomen genitals and soles of the feet The second misconception is that dark-skinned and Asian people are not at risk for the disease In fact one type of melanoma occurs most frequently in African Americans and Asians developing on the palms soles and nailbeds The first sign of melanoma is often a change in the size shape or color of an existing mole or the appearance of a new mole Men most commonly develop melanoma on the trunk particularly the back and women on the legs or arms By becoming familiar with the pattern of moles and spots on your body you have a good chance of detecting changes early and bringing them to the attention of your doctor

Crematory on premises

Lately I have been seeing foreclosure actions based on reverse mortgages Specifically the recipient used up all the equity in the house the recipient dies the company waits about a year (as they must under law) and then they demand repayment If there is no equity or the house went down in value so there is a deficiency the heirs of the recipient face a bad situation I have therefore decided a reverse mortgage in effect is giving up the house To put it another way it is the

early sale of your house with your getting the money in dribs and drabs The only virtue I see is that some people are so desperate that they have no choice and need immediate income from their house for example to make emergency repairs And they want to stay so they tender up the house So reverse mortgages are not for most people unless there is nothing left to do

The mission of Greater Harleysville and North Penn Senior Services is to provide access to programs and resources that help older adults live independently and remain active

Mark Hoffman joined the centerrsquos Board of Directors in 1985 In this role and as legal consultant to many of Encore

Experiencesrsquo members Markrsquos sole motivation is to help senior citizens long admiring this particular age group while also recognizing that they sometimes face discrimination When asked why he was interested in taking on another role as facilitator of the Little Studies group Mark explained the importance of life-long learning exercising the brain and peoplersquos need for interaction To quote Mark his mission is ldquoto keep everyone aliverdquoBefore Mark added Little Studies to Encore Experiencesrsquo calendar he did some digging into his own past researching the ancestry on his fatherrsquos side and sharing this with his family Acknowledging that he likes to organize his thinking write exchange ideas and experiences Little Studies then became the forum for honoring our ancestors while living in the present For each session he prepares a factual booklet on a character (anyone from

Elvis to Julius Caesar) and uses that as a springboard for discussion Admittedly some topics can be controversial like when discussing politics or religion but Mark doesnrsquot advocate a particular point of view and appreciates the respect the group has for one another and the open-mindedness of this communityFor those who meet with Mark on the third Friday of each month history is a draw Taking it a step further a deeper appreciation of the times discussed is developed as participants have lived through so much of ldquohistoryrdquo enabling them to relate to many topics It isnrsquot just the facts but the comparison of social issues past and present and Markrsquos ability to tie everything together by asking questions and unifying the thoughts and experiences of the groupLittle Studies is the perfect venue for the life-long learner It is learning that is not confined to childhood or to a classroom but in a relaxed low-key atmosphere with peers who are in pursuit of knowledge from an excellent facilitator You are invited to join this interesting and self-motivated group See page 11 of this newsletter for the cast of characters to be discussed

Meet Little Studies

The most effective way to protect yourself from harmful UV radiation is to stay out of the sun Stay indoors or look for shade in the middle of the day when UV radiation is strongest usually between 10 am and 4 pm If you are going to be in the sun cover up Long-sleeved shirts long pants wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses offer the best protection against UV radiation If you cant cover up completely be sure to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15 on all exposed skin Skin cancer screenings involve the examination of apparently healthy individuals in order to detect unrecognized

skin cancer or precancerous lesions To date no large-scale randomized controlled studies have been conducted to conclusively demonstrate the effectiveness of skin cancer screenings However it is clear that when melanoma is found in its early stages the chances of effective treatment and long-term survival are very high Friday May 23 is Donrsquot Fry Day At Encore Experiences in the main lobby today you will find resources and a chance to win some safe in the sun items Join us on Thursday May 15 at 1230PM for a film More than Skin Deep that may save your life
