Most days of the week, AnaNelson can be found educat-ing others aboutAlzheimer’s disease in her

role as vice president of Programs and Ser-vices for the Alzheimer’s Association Na-tional Capital Area Chapter. Her free timeis spent touring historical sites in NorthernVirginia and staying fit through competitiverunning and other activities. She’s currentlytraining for the Marine Corps Marathon.

“I have worked in the (Alzheimer’s dis-ease) field for 30 years and have alwaysbeen a promoter of healthy lifestyles,” saidNelson. “When you’re sightseeing and ask-ing questions, you’re stimulating and chal-lenging your mind. When I enter and trainfor races, I’m interacting with other peopleand staying socially engaged.”

Nelson is incorporating into her life keyelements that are credited with staving offage-related mental decline. In fact, jobs andactivities that require complex thinking andsocial connections can help build resilienceand delay age-related cognitive decline anddementia, according to a new study pre-sented at the Alzheimer’s Association Inter-national Conference (AAIC) 2016 last week.

The study suggested that working withpeople in challenging jobs such as Nelson’shad the most protective effect on the brain.

“With the brain, like other parts of thebody, you use it or lose it,” said Dr. DeanHartley, Ph.D., director of Science Initiativesfor the Alzheimer’s Association. “If you don’tuse it, it goes away.”

Activities that require planning and pro-cessing information challenge the brain.“Sitting in front of the television is detri-mental,” said Hartley. “Being passive doesn’tstimulate the brain.”

In this study, researchers tried to answerquestions about whether mentally challeng-ing occupations and activities protectedcognitive function against the impact ofpoor diet. Scientists studied 351 olderadults who were living independently andadhering to a Western diet, which research-ers said included red meat, potatoes, foodsmade with white flour and sugar.

Over a three-year period, the researchersfound this type of diet to be associated withcognitive decline in older adults. However,individuals in the study diet who consumeda Western diet, but also had a mentallystimulating lifestyle, were protected fromcognitive decline.

“Activities that required an engagementof executive functioning, like planning, vol-

unteering or any task that get your mindthinking, those types of experiences are

where we’re seeing the best protectionagainst cognitive decline,” said Amy E.Coren, Ph.D., J.D., assistant professor ofPsychology at Northern Virginia CommunityCollege in Alexandria, Va. Coren was notinvolved with the study.

Not all types of social interaction havebeen shown to be equally beneficial tohealthy brain functioning, notes develop-mental psychologist Dr. Linda Cote-Reilly,associate professor of Psychology atMarymount University in Arlington, Va.“Older adults who have a lot of social in-teraction because they need assistance withactivities of daily living do not experiencethese interactions as positive,” she said.“People are helping them because they havelost the ability to do the tasks themselvesand are dependent on other people.”

However, Coren, Hartley and other re-searchers say that more research is needed.

“The study was done by a well-respectedgroup of scientists, but we can’t say that ifyou stay socially and mentally active youwon’t get this disease,” said Pamela Green-wood, Ph.D., associate professor of Psychol-ogy at George Mason University. “Therehave only been a handful of these studiesto date and the results have been inconsis-tent. For some, it doesn’t have a big impactand for others it does.”

Challenged Brain, Healthy Brain?Social engagement and mentally challenging jobs might keep Alzheimer’s disease at bay.

Listening to Christian Elliot describepart of a recent vacation that he tookwith his wife, Nina, you might think

he was attending a fitness bootcamp.“We woke up early, got in a jog and I did

push-ups on a step, lunges on a dirt road,”said Christian Elliot. “As long as you havegravity … you can exercise.”

While August vacations offer a chance torenew and rejuvenate, carving out time toexercise and creating opportunities for nu-tritious food are keys to maintaining ahealthy lifestyle while on holiday.

“The biggest thing about eating healthyand exercising on vacation is planningahead,” said Elliot, a personal trainer andfounder of TRUE Health and Wholeness inArlington, Va. “People plan their vacationin pretty good detail, but they fail to planwhere and how they’re going to work out.”

Part of that planning includes bringingpackable equipment and appropriate cloth-ing for exercise. “Pack [resistance] bandsfor strengthening exercises, and a jump ropeis a great way to get cardio. Those are light-weight and easy to pack,” said Catie Brocker,NP-C, MSN, director of the Student Health

Center at Marymount University in Arling-ton, Va. “Whatever you do, keep it simpleand fun. If we make it too complicated itmight not work.”

GETTING ACTIVE with family and friendsis one way that Brocker made exercise en-joyable during a recent vacation. “I led abodyweight circuit for my family everymorning when I was on a beach vacationrecently,” she said. “We were staying on thebeach and we would wake up each morn-ing and do a workout.”

Part of the appeal of bodyweight exercisesis that they can be done virtually anywhereand require no equipment. Brocker recom-mends 60-second exercise intervals with 15seconds of rest between each set.

“I do an upper body exercise, a lower bodyexercise, sit ups and some type of cardio,”she said. “For example, push ups, squats,jumping jacks and a sit up. There are fit-ness and workout apps out there that youcan use if you feel intimidated by creatingyour own bodyweight circuit. If you writeout a few exercises before you leave forvacation, you’re far more likely to do it.”

From swimming laps in a hotel pool towalking laps around an airport terminalwhile waiting for a flight, there are many

ways to get creative with exercise.“Hotels usually either have a gym … and

the concierge can tell you about nearbytrails for hiking or walking,” said Brocker.

In addition to planning to exercise while

on vacation, packing a small, portable stashof fruit, vegetables or trail mix can quellhunger while sightseeing or waiting at theairport. “Stop by the grocery store and pick

Staying Fit and Healthy on VacationAdvance planning is key to maintaining a healthy diet and fitness on the road.

Nina and Christian Elliot plan ahead to incorporate a healthy diet andexercise into family vacations with their children Naomi, 8, Caleb, 6,Noah, 2, and Cohen, 7 months.

Check Disability Parking SignsDuring the 25-year anniversary month of the Americans with

Disabilities Act (ADA), Montgomery County has launched a newinitiative to help ensure that the signage for disability parkingspaces in Montgomery County complies with the state ofMaryland’s Accessibility Code adopted under the Public SafetyCode.

Parking lot owners and companies that stripe parking lots inMaryland must comply with the Maryland Accessibility Codeadopted under 12-202 of the Public Safety Code. ADA-compliantinformation is provided on the county’s Department of GeneralServices ADA Accessible Parking page at http://w w w . m o n t g o m e r y c o u n t y m d . g o v / d g s - a d a /AccessibleParking.html.

Multi-family residential parking lots and commercial parkinglots must conform to specific legal standards for providing anderecting signs for disability spaces:

❖ There must be a visible sign to identify each accessible space.❖ Free-standing signs must be mounted at least 7 feet above

the ground with a symbol of accessibility, and include a supple-mental sign indicating, “Maximum Fine $250.”

❖ A sign mounted flush to a building or wall must be at least 6feet but no more than 10 feet above the ground.

❖ The sign must have the international wheelchair symbol ofaccessibility and the words, “Reserved Parking.”

❖ Van accessible spaces are to be identified with a supplemen-tal “Van Accessible” sign and are accompanied with a supplemen-tal “No Parking in Access Aisle” sign.

In addition, members of the Montgomery County Commissionon People with Disabilities, the Commission on Veteran Affairsand other volunteers will be monitoring whether disability signagewithin the county is meeting the required legal standards.

Potential violations recorded by volunteers will be reviewed bythe Commission on People with Disabilities and by the countyOffice of Human Rights.

Foundations Gives $10,000To Help Holocaust Survivors

The Family & Nursing Care Foundation, a fund of the Commu-nity Foundation for Montgomery County, issued a $10,000 grantto Jewish Social Service Agency (JSSA) on Monday, Aug. 1, toprovide in-home care private duty services to at-risk, aging Holo-caust survivors in Montgomery and Prince George’s counties andin Washington, D.C.

The grant will be used to provide approximately 460 hours ofin-home, hands-on care so that these survivors may age in place.Services will be provided by certified nursing assistants (CNAs)and certified medication technicians (CMT), and will include helpwith bathing, dressing, toileting, grooming, mobility, medicationmonitoring, and general companionship.

JSSA has been serving area Holocaust survivors for over 25years. There are currently 413 survivors who are a part of theprogram in Montgomery County. The average age of these survi-vors is 86 years old and 84 percent are living near or below theFederal Poverty level.

Selection and provision of in-home services for Holocaust sur-vivors is based on eligibility through The Conference on JewishMaterial Claims Against Germany (Claims Conference) and sec-ondly through the Claims Conferences’ Functional Assessmenttool. Those who are verified as Holocaust survivors are eligible tobe assessed for home care services. The assessment examines ar-eas of functionality and, from there, the appropriate services aredetermined. The Family & Nursing Care Foundation providesgrants to organizations throughout the region to improve educa-tional access for prospective caregivers and to ensure that low-income seniors have aging-in-place, in-home care options. Annu-ally, the Foundation gifts almost $100,000 to non-profits through-out the community that support the Foundation’s missions.

For those who, like the Elliots,will be traveling with children,child-friendly snacks are a must.“We have to manage their lowblood sugar with quick energyhits,” said Elliot. “Our kids love thegrass-fed beef sticks or beef jerky.”

“You can’t deprive yourself andsay’ I’m not going to have icecream at all’,” said Janet Zalman,founder of the Zalman NutritionGroup. “You can say, ‘I’m going tohave ice cream one or two times,but I’m not going to eat the super-size, I’ll have a kiddie size.’”

It’s also a good idea to chooserestaurants and peruse menus atyour destination before leaving onvacation. “Research your options,”said Brocker, “Like anything elseyou do, you have to plan and re-search it so that you can be an in-formed consumer.”

Finally, if you decide to splurgeon a favorite food, make it count.“When you go off the rails and eathigh calories food, make sure it’sfabulous,” Zalman. “Most peoplecheat out of convenience, but ifyou’re going to cheat, cheat high.”

Don’t Let TheseThree Facts Slip

Through the Cracks!Buying a new home often involves facing a

torrent of new information, from convolutedrates and percentages, to forewarnings, sug-gestions, tips, advisements, and downrightimploration. Unfortunately, few home buyersever feel truly prepared to make the big deci-sion, and so it becomes incredibly importantto find a broker or agent you can truly trustwhile conducting as much research as possibleon your own. All too often, despite this safetynet of expert advice and self-directed study,some things still go unnoticed. Here is a brieflist of three facts that routinely go unmen-tioned, undiscovered, and undisclosed.

Knowledge is Power• Fact #1: Don’t count yourself out

until you gather all the information.While the traditional notion behind previousforeclosure would contend that you are finan-cially sunk and therefore ineligible fromqualifying for a loan to become a home-owner,in actuality this circumstance is less dire thantypically assumed. While it is true that fore-closure remains on your credit rating for upto seven years, large scale government-backedlenders such as Freddie Mac and Fannie Maehave begun imposing just three-year penaltiesfor foreclosure. Though you may be requiredto pay a higher down payment or pay slightlyhigher interest rates, you aren’t disqualifiedfrom the dream of home ownership as easilyas you may assume.

• Fact #2: Be sure to check into thehousing codes and regulations pertain-ing to properties you are interested in.Prospective buyers would do well to work dili-gently to ensure that recent renovations,additions, and improvements were conductedin conjunction with guidelines set by now-starving city planning departments. If youpurchase a home with violations, you may besaddled with the responsibility of bringingthem to code.

• Fact #3: Hire your own people. It isimportant not to expose yourself to liabilityby accepting the seller’s offer to use theiragent, appraiser, or inspector. These profes-sionals owe an allegiance to the person payingfor their service, so it’s best to hire your ownteam of licensed home specialists.


Opinion

Has your organization been fea-tured in the Connection Newspapers, or the Alexandria Ga-zette Packet or the Mount Vernon

Gazette or the Centre View or the PotomacAlmanac?

Have any of our papers taken note of yourbusiness when you and/or your employeespitch in to help the community? Or when youopened your doors or celebrated a milestone?

Are you an elected official whose messagesare enhanced by coverage of issues in the Con-nection? Do you work for a part of local gov-

ernment that has asked for helpgetting the word out about aneed or a new initiative or ac-complishments?

I have a special favor to ask:Buy an ad in our Newcomers and Commu-

nity Guide. Please.Show your support for our organization

which continues to be here to support theforces of good in our communities.

Our annual Newcomers and CommunityGuide is a pullout section that will appear inthe the Aug. 24, 2016 edition of all 15 Con-nection Newspapers, published by Local Me-dia Connection. Deadline is Aug. 17.

We are creating a quality special issue, andwe need your help. Whether you invest in asmall ad in a single paper (super affordable),or a full page in all 15 of our papers (supervalue), we appreciate your help this month.

To put on my publisher’s hat (and not myeditor’s hat) for a minute, if you have a mar-keting budget, and you value coverage of lo-cal newspapers (not just ours), why wouldn’tyou spend a portion of that budget (any por-tion) supporting that platform? There is a cau-tionary tale in the abrupt closure a year ago ofthe chain of local papers that served Montgom-ery and Prince George’s counties in Maryland,as an extreme example.

But it’s more than a charitable effort.For the same reasons that organizations,

businesses and campaigns know they want lo-cal newspaper coverage, newspaper advertis-ing is an effective way to reach voters, resi-dents, clients. The Connection reaches morethan 200,000 readers, in print and online, in-cluding remarkable demographics. Our read-ers include local and national decision makersin the public and private sector. According toan independent study during the last presiden-tial campaign, cited by the National Newspa-per Association: 86 percent of voters who castballots in the last election read newspapers inprint or online; 79 percent of voters ages 18 to34 read newspapers in print or online; 91 per-cent of voters who contribute to campaignsread newspapers in print or online.

Share Tips aboutCommunity

We need help from our readers for our an-nual Newcomers and Community Guide.

We’re hoping to share special places, activi-ties, events, organizations and volunteer op-portunities.

What should someone new to your neigh-borhood know about? Events that should notbe missed? Organizations that do a great job?Places to volunteer? Tips for navigating yourPTA or your school’s front office? A great placeto see the sunset? We’d love to have your pho-tos to go along with your suggestions.

What are your favorite parks? Favorite his-toric sites? What tips do you have for some-one getting to know the community?

We will publish a selection of local tips alongwith a plethora of information useful to new-comers and long-time residents alike, includ-ing our award-winning Insiders Guide to theParks, and information on how to vote andmore.

We urge leaders from both the Demo-cratic and Republican parties to reject the poli-tics of division and xenophobia and insteadcommit to supporting immigration reform, in-cluding a path to citizenship for undocumentedimmigrants, in the first 100 days of the nextPresidency.

Our coalition of local governments repre-sents over 55 million people from more thanhalf the states in the nation. We offer ourunique perspective in support of immigrationreform as leaders of the nation’s cities andcounties — from large to small, in red statesand blue states — where immigrant familieslive and thrive. Immigrants are our neighbors,our co-workers, and active members of ourchildren’s schools and our faith communities.They contribute to our cities’ economic vital-ity in multiple ways, and bring rich social andcultural diversity to our streets.

Simply put, immigrants are integral mem-bers of our cities and counties, and immigrantfamilies are crucial to our success. This is whywe call on national leaders to take action onurgently needed immigration reform.

Our country has the opportunity now to builda stronger and more inclusive society throughreform that:

❖ Creates a broad, humane and timely pathto citizenship

❖ Supports local economic growth while pro-tecting the rights and labor standards of allworkers

❖ Upholds immigrants’ due process rightsand the rights of those seeking refuge

❖ Offers robust local implementation andimmigrant integration support.

We also call on Presidential candidates topledge to defend and expand PresidentObama’s executive actions on immigration tooffer temporary relief to undocumented immi-grants with deep community ties who are notpriorities for enforcement.

Such common-sense programs are a lawfulexercise of executive authority with precedentfrom the administrations of Presidents Reaganand Bush, Sr. While long-term legislative re-form is ultimately what is needed, the SupremeCourt of the United States did not issue a de-finitive ruling on the merits of the executiveactions on immigration, and we will continueto advocate for administrative relief.

Last, we call on our fellow local leaders tocontinue moving forward and implementinginclusive policies and programs, without wait-ing for Washington to catch up. From invest-ments in English classes and legal assistance,to municipal ID programs, to immigrant en-

trepreneurial support and language access, weare ever-deepening our commitment to foster-ing immigrant-friendly municipalities.

We recognize that the well-being of immi-grants impacts the well-being of all. We en-courage our national leaders to follow the ex-ample of cities and counties nationwide onimmigration and commit to reform now.

“Love That Dirty Water”

“Oh, Boston you’re my home.” At least it wasagain for four days this past week: Sunday a.m.through Wednesday p.m. First I saw my best friend,Cary, and his family for two and a half days; then,for a day and another half, with a Washington,D.C. friend, Jim, I attended two Boston Red Soxgames at Fenway Park (“Baseball’s most belovedballpark”): Tuesday evening and Wednesdayafternoon.

I not only grew up in Boston (Newton Centre,actually) I was raised there as well. I had loving andsupportive parents who, to this day, even in theirabsence (both having succumbed to old age a fewyears back) impact my life. I quote them often,refer to their parental advisories, tell their storiesand even, grudgingly, repeat my father’s jokes (I’llspare you any examples). When my father retiredat age 70, my parents moved to Florida so I hadfewer reasons to return home; though periodicallyI did so (high school reunions, Bar Mitzvahs, etc.).Previous to this visit however, I had not been backin nearly six years; in late October 2010 whenCary and I went to see the Boston Celtics play theMiami Heat in LeBron James’ first regular seasongame after “The Decision.”

Being back home now (yes, home to me iswhere I was born, bred and buttered; my lifethrough high school) was extremely emotional.When I first met Cary and his wife, Mindy, at theairport, I started crying. I don’t know if it was thelung cancer/my heightened sense of mortality orjust my age, but the tears flowed.

As you might imagine, we drove by all thefamiliar places: schools, temple, the house where Ilived, the old neighborhood, downtown Boston,the Charles River (to which this title refers) and thesuburbs. For food, we ate Chinese and Italian fordinner, meatball and cheese subs and pizza forlunch (all perfect for me) and fresh muffins andbagels for breakfast. We reminisced and laughed,appearing not to miss a beat from any previous vis-its and/or any of the hundreds of phone calls we’veshared over the years. Overall, I was nurtured andloved and made to feel significant and appreciated.Wonderful doesn’t begin to describe the way I feltand the manner in which I was treated. To quote aformer checker at my local Safeway: it was“superfantastic.”

Tuesday afternoon/evening it was on to FenwayPark, home of the Boston Red Sox since 1912, forthe first of our two games. We had box seats upthe right field line, within 20 rows or so of the rightfield foul pole, better known as the “Pesky Pole,”named after the legendary Red Sox shortstop.Johnny Pesky, he of the alleged “held-ball” in the1946 World Series, among other memories. (A fewyears back, the left field foul pole was officiallynamed the “Fisk Pole” after former Boston Red Soxcatcher, and now Hall of Famer, Carlton Fisk: mostremembered by Red Sox Nation for his 12thinning, arm-waving, foul-pole hitting, game-win-ning home run in game six of the 1975 WorldSeries against the Cincinnati Reds, aka “The BigRed Machine.”)

I attended many games at Fenway Park (notthat one unfortunately, but I know exactly where Iwas when “Pudge” hit his series-tying shot), mostlywith my father so the memories came gushing backas I walked along Yawkey Way: the vendor/locationwhere my father always stopped for a sausage andonion sandwich, the old ticket booths at Gate A,the “Fenway franks” he’d smother with condi-ments, the peanut/popcorn/ice cream concessionshe’d buy for me, the ticket window he’d go toinside the stadium to try and upgrade our seats, theadjacent bathroom with the old-fashioned ameni-ties, his preference to sit on the first-base side inorder to see the action in the left-field corner atthe base of the “Green Monster,” and too manymore to recount. I would guess you get the gist ofit by now.

It was four days I’ll never forget and a lifetimeI’ll always remember – and cherish. Thanks to mywife, Dina for encouraging me to take the trip andto Cary and Mindy for hosting me. If I had it to doover again, I wouldn’t change a thing. Well, onething, actually. The Red Sox lost both games, so Inever got to hear “Love That Dirty Water,” the tra-ditional song/anthem played at the stadium to cele-brate a win.

The biggestthings arealways the

easiest to dobecause there isno competition.

Like many geriatrics, senior dogsin our area are illness survivorsand living with a range of condi-tions including arthritis, hip dys-

plasia and chronic back pain. But nothingkeeps them from enjoying their people, trav-eling, taking walks, napping and eating asmany snacks as are made available.

While primary canine focus is limited towhat goes on in their own backyards, someare paying attention to the election. And, Ifable to talk, they would offer some adviceto the presidential candidates.

Sasha Marusin is concerned about the en-vironment, “Pay attention to climate change,it’s important for animals and humans.” Max

Kennedy has an opinion about Trump’s pro-posed wall, “No walls (or leashes!), we allwant to run free.” Daisy Gilbert wants bothcandidates to do a better job of getting along,“I accept and love everyone. You should finda way to do the same.”
