    Act II Feel the Energy, Feel the Friendship and Encouragement. Educate yourself as to what services, activities, classes, meals and opportunities await you.

    Act III Take Charge of yourself. Engage in all opportunities available to you at Berkeley Senior Centerwe are your advocate.

    Final Act Your Body, Mind and Spirit will be enhanced in all positive ways!

    May is Older Americans MonthThe 2015 Older Americans Month theme isGet into the Act.

    Older Americans Month 2015: Get into the ActOlder adults are a vital part of our society. Since 1963, communities across the country have shown their gratitude by celebrating Older Americans Month each May. The theme of this years celebration is Get into the Act, to focus on how older adults are taking charge of their health, getting engaged in their communi-ties, and making a positive impact in the lives of others.

    The theme also reflects on the 50th anniversary of the Older Americans Act. President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Older Americans Act into law in July 1965. Since that time, the Act has provided a nationwide aging services net-work and funding that helps older adults live with dignity in the communities of their choice for as long as possible. These services include home-delivered and congregate meals, caregiver support, community-based assistance, preventive health services, elder abuse prevention, and much more.

    By promoting and engaging in activity, wellness, and inclusivity, more Ameri-cans than ever before can Get into the Act. While Berkeley Senior Services provides transportation, In-Home Care/Respite to family caregivers, home deliv-ered meals, and Medicare Counseling to older adults year-round, Older Amer-icans Month offers an opportunity to emphasize how older adults can access the home- and community-based services they need to live independently in our community. It is also an occasion to highlight how older adults are engaging with and making a difference in those communities.Throughout the month, Berkeley Senior Services will be conducting activities and providing several opportunities that will empower seniors to remain healthy and active! For a complete listing of activities, be sure to check out the calen-dars in this issue or visit our website: www.berkeleyseniorservices.org, or like us on Facebook! ***

    offending irritants is the first line of defense against COPD. Taking

    prescribed medications, healthy eating, and exercise follow closely behind.

    A recent study published in the online journal Respirology, reported that

    patients with COPD who were more active had fewer hospitalizations than

    patients without a regular walking routine.

    COPD patients in this study who maintained the highest levels of physical

    activity (regular walking between 2-4 miles daily) or comparable physical

    activity were hospitalized only half as often as COPD patients without a regular

    exercise program.

    Dr. Venessa Holland, a pulmonologist at Houstons Methodist Hospital, agreed that the results of this study confirmed the benefits of exercise similar to what

    her patients have experienced.

    If you have COPD, and have not participated in a Pulmonary

    Rehabilitation program, check to see if one is available to you in your area.

    If not, ask your physician or an exercise professional to recommend a safe activity for you. The American College of Sports Medicines website www.exerciseismedicine.org can help. This website recommends

    walking, biking, or swimming.

    One should begin slowly, and then gradually increase the intensity and

    duration of the workouts. Start with 5 or 10 minute intervals and increase the

    CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE:Help Is On the Way in WV

    I was looking at the face of death. said Grace Anne Dorney, wife of Ted Koppel, former news anchor for CBS. She uttered these words on being diagnosed in 2001

    with a lung condition called Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). She was unable to catch her breath even

    while standing still.

    Grace Anne credits Pulmonary Rehab for helping her to take back her

    life. She became a national advocate for people suffering with this disease. She

    and Ted also have donated generously to this cause.

    Thanks to their generosity in November 2013, the Grace Anne Dorney Pulmonary Rehabilitation Center opened in Dawes, WV at the Cabin Creek Health Center. When asked why Cabin Creek,

    Ted Koppel answered simply Because its where the need is.

    The leading cause of COPD is smoking, but the disease may develop in individuals who are exposed to irritants over a long period of time. It can also

    be caused by pollution, chemical fumes, dust, or second hand smoke.

    COPD is the third leading cause of death in the U.S. West Virginia has one of the highest rates of COPD in the country.

    There is no cure yet for COPD, but medical treatment and lifestyle changes

    learned through a Pulmonary Rehab program can help you feel better and slow

    the progression of COPD. Quitting smoking or removing the

    time as fitness improves. Build up to 30 minutes, all at one time or in intervals

    throughout the day.

    Try to exercise most days of the week. To determine the intensity of exercise,

    think about how you feel while exercising. Make your exercise session feel

    somewhat hard, but not hard.

    If you use supplemental oxygen, be sure to use it for exercise. You can help breathing efficiency using a technique

    called pursed lip breathing.

    For pursed lip breathing take a deep breath in through your nose, and exhale

    through pursed lips (imagine you are blowing out a candle). Make exhalation last 2-3 times longer than it takes you to

    inhale.
