For the past 20 years I have worked

actively with elderly patients

suffering from Alzheimer's disease

and other dementias as well. Let

me tell you that the treatment and methods

have really changed and improved during

that time too.What brought me to this work was

actually an assignment from my department chair and mentor, Dr. Joel Elkes. We were a part of an Arts and Medicine program at the University of Louisville School of Medicine and were researching the use of music and other arts interventions with a variety of illnesses and health challenges.

Using Music With Alzheimer's PatientsBy Dr. Alice Cash

Dr. Elkes decided that he wanted me to do a formal scientific study on the

"Therapeutic Use of Music with Alzheimer's Patients." We were able to get into a state-of the-art Alzheimer's unit in Louisville, KY; a facility that was brand new and had a special locked area for Alzheimer's patients that allowed them to safely wander and pace (as they tend to do) in a garden area outside and in a circular area inside!

Over the course of the next six months we worked with 30 actual subjects, but we also had the participation of family members who were visiting as well as medical and support staff. At the end of the study we had learned that although music certainly will not cure, or even slow down the progression of Alzheimer's disease, it definitely does provide a wonderful quality of life intervention that allows people to enjoy and remember the music of their "courting years!" Yes, we found that even in the latter stages of Alzheimer's disease, after patients no longer recognize their friends and family members, they can still hear the music from their Continued on page 4

"courting years" and sing-along, tap their toes, nod their heads in time to the music and sometimes, get up and dance for a minute or so with their spouse. Music is a beautiful way to temporarily "get back" some of the person's former self...even if just for a few minutes!

So here are seven of my top tips for using music with an Alzheimer's patient:

1 Determine what decade (approximately) would have been their "courting years." I

usually define this as the time they were 15-25 years old and were dating, falling in love, getting married and so forth.

2 Go to Google or any search engine, or any university music library and find

some of the popular music for that particular decade. For example, if I Google "top 40

Alzheimer patient, Jim Tribbey, dances with Alesha Skaggs, CNA at Lincoln Hills Health Center, New Albany, IN

during one of their many music activities!

From the desk ofSCE Executive Director Patty Dissell

W e have seen several changes over the past several months; our friend Lucy has moved on to a new job, Becky has changed positions and we are happy to introduce Tammy Meadows as our new Marketing/

Development Director! We have opened up our office space to accommodate new classes and we are building new partnerships in the community.

Everything is centered on our focus to further our mission of service. As a nonprofit organization, we are here to serve. We believe that everyone has a choice. We believe in helping our eldest generation maintain their independence and dignity. We want to surround individuals with love and care so all may have the best quality of life in their later years.

We could not do this without you! Our friends who generously give towards our mission are enabling us to cover the cost for much needed services. Our volunteers are delivering meals everyday and transporting people to doctor’s appointments, groceries, barber/beauty shops and more. Our volunteer program is very special! These amazing individuals genuinely care about our seasoned citizens. They build relationships with our clients; they check on them on a regular basis and they make sure they are safe and cared for.

Someone recently told me that we are “Louisville’s Best Kept Secret.” Not anymore! We are going to start shouting from the mountain tops that we are here, we are helping people in very special ways and we can do more. We are the SeniorCare EXPERTS!

As we believe in taking care of the whole person, not just “providing services,” we have created the new position Client Services Liaison. Becky Ricketts, who has been with SCE for 14 years, has accepted this new position. She is now working with our clients to ensure they have what they need when they need it. She also checks the home for obvious obstacles that could cause someone to stumble or injure themselves. SeniorCare Experts is focused on the entire wellbeing of the individual. We are here to help!

Thank you for being a friend to SeniorCare Experts!

Patty Dissell, SCE Executive Director

Lucy Koesters Leaving SeniorCare Experts for the “Sunny Side”

It is with mixed emotions that I tell you I am leaving SCE after three years to accept the Director of Nutrition position at LifeSpan Resources in New Albany, Indiana. My time at SCE has been

challenging and rewarding and I will miss everyone very much. I started out in the home delivered meals program at SCE and now I'm going back

into a Meals on Wheels program at LifeSpan. I live in Indiana - the one thing I'm looking forward to is a much diminished commute and not crossing the river! SCE will always have a special place in my heart. The mission of caring for seniors resonates deeply with me as it does many of you. Thank you for your support of SCE and our mutual mission to help seniors live independently. If your travels take you across the river to the sunny side, please stop by and visit me at LifeSpan.

—Lucy Koesters


In recent months, seniors in Louisville and across the country have fallen victim to several phone scams that target the elderly. The victims have lost anywhere from a few hundred dollars to nearly

$100,000. Literally, hundreds of millions of dollars are being wired to overseas scam artists by unwitting elderly victims. Recently, a victim’s family called to report a loss of at least $80,000! Imagine that kind of loss on your retirement. This is no longer a cruel joke. These scams have become a serious problem.

The types of scams are endless, but two in particular the “Grandparent Scam” and the “Lottery Scam” are costing seniors a great deal of money. The scam artists usually are calling from outside of the United States, which makes investigation and prosecution nearly impossible.

The “Grandparent Scam” involves a suspect who calls to pretend to be a family member of the elderly victim and claims to be a grandchild who has gotten themselves into some troubling situation in another country. The imposter implores the victim “not to speak with mom or dad.” The scam artist then requests that the victim wire money to them, often via Western Union. By the time a victim wires the money and begins to think about the unusual situation, it is too late. The money has been picked up in another country and is long gone!

The “Lottery Scam” involves a suspect who calls and claims to be an International Lottery Representative with great news! The victim has won several million dollars. The victim only needs to wire money to the suspect in order to pay taxes or delivery fees. The caller is very adept at convincing the senior that the lottery is authentic. Often, these callers will become relentless, calling victims 50 or more times per day. Threats of violence towards victim’s families are often reported. Once the victim’s money is wired and picked up by the suspect, the funds are not recoverable.

These criminals are very smooth talkers and make you believe that they are people that you know and can trust. The LMPD Crimes Against Seniors Unit cares about seniors in our community. Please, never agree to send money to anyone who contacts you by telephone. Never give any personal information to anyone who has contacted you by phone. YOU DON’T KNOW WHO THEY ARE! You have worked hard for your money. DON’T GIVE IT AWAY TO SCAM ARTISTS!!

If you have any questions about this scam or financial exploitation of the elderly, you can call 574-8851 and ask to speak with a detective in the Crimes Against Seniors Unit.

Sgt. Jerry Thornsberry oversees the Louisville Metro Police Dept's Crimes Against Seniors Unit. For more info call 502-574-8851 or Adult Protective Services at 502-595-4550.

For as long as I can remember, Phil or one of the O’Dendrons was always coming or going, sitting around our

house. I got so used to them I’d sometimes forget they were there. Phil’s the only one that comes around now. He doesn’t say much. In fact he doesn’t say anything. I can sense what he’s thinking sometimes. When I feel talkative he always listens. We both like to listen to music together. Phil’s like me though about television; just as soon not have it on. I always ask people if they know any of the O’Dendrons. They’re a big clan. You run into them most everywhere. They’re easy to get to know and they don’t care one way or the other if your thumb is green. I guess I better explain something to those of you who don’t know me. My friend Phil is my houseplant, my only houseplant! He’s a common philodendron.

Before you start shaking your head and turning the page, consider that not only ordinary people like me sense an unexplainable kinship with houseplants, and plants in general, there is now a sizeable body of scientific evidence about the

very real impact of plants on the physical and emotional wellness of humans. The notion of the existence of physical, emotional and spiritual connections between plants and humans was first popularized in modern times by the best-selling book, The Secret Life of Plants, written in 1973 by Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird. But prior to this, the notion of a very real connection between plants and humans was common among ancient peoples and persisted even among early settlers to America.

Scientists will continue to explore questions like whether plants can adapt to human wishes, respond to music, provide curative alternatives, and even communicate with humans. “Citizen Scientists,” ordinary people who live

and observe the habits of their houseplants daily, will continue to collect anecdotal evidence they believe confirms that they already know the answers.

As for me and Phil, all I know is, he’s good friend. He’s lush and alive and I truly enjoy nurturing him. Like almost all philodendrons, he thrives in low light and only needs to be watered when the soil dries out or leaves droop or yellow. He’s toxic, but I’ve never had a pet take bite. I suspect Phil warned them!

hits of the 1930's" I get things like "Over the Rainbow," "Begin the Beguine," "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" and lots more. I get not only the names, but links to those on iTunes, Rhapsody and other sites. I also have a whole CD of this music on my website.

3 Once you have found the music for your patient or loved one, you play it for them

during a quiet time during the early part of the day...before or immediately after lunch are very good times.

4If possible, play the music for them live on a piano, guitar, autoharp or other

such instrument. Live music is always more powerful than recorded. If not possible, a CD or MP3 is also good.

5Begin to interact with the patient as you listen, sitting across from them, taking

their hands, making eye contact and singing along to the music is very beneficial.

6 If possible, get the patient up out of chair or bed and move to the music with them.

You don't have to formally dance, but get them walking or stepping to the rhythms of the music.

7Finally, repeat these same 5 or 6 familiar songs with them several times a day for at

least a week. The next week you can take a different 5 or 6 songs.

You will begin to see the benefits almost immediately. Our study showed that patients who had an individualized 30-minute music session each day slept better, ate better, were

Other Options to Fund Long-Term Care Costsby Martin Katz

Traditional long term care insurance is still the best first choice for protecting your assets. Today innovative long term care hybrid products continue to improve their coverages and accessibility. These hybrids combine an annuity or life insurance with a certain level of long term care insurance. Typically you would have a cash value based on your investment amount that earns interest. In addition you would have a fixed lifetime amount covering a wide range of long term care

services. In most cases, for an added premium you can add inflation protection and increase the lifetime coverage amount.CD's and interest bearing checking accounts are prime examples of under performing investments seen in many

portfolios. While not perfect, converting those stagnant assets to a long term care hybrid product, gives you a solid safe investment with some long term care coverage. If you are comfortable with just a basic amount of long term care insurance, it can be done at a much lower real cost than traditional long term care insurance. Which approach is best for you should be weighed carefully with a skilled agent that's knowledgeable in the many facets of rehabilitation costs and care.

Martin Katz holds a Masters Degree in Rehabilitative Counseling from the University of Louisville and is the owner of the Long Term Care, LLC specializing in Medicaid and Long Term Care Insurance and related products. Contact him at 502-479-5576. – See his ad on page 11.

Westport Seniors June Gathering

rocked the house with her solo of an old Patsy

Relaxing among friends at Westport Seniors

Food, Fun & Fellowship, that’s what we are all about!

On a very hot day in June, we gathered at the Westport Road Christian Church for our monthly gathering of seniors for Food, Fun & Fellowship. Our

delicious lunch was provided by Beha Catering. Linda Beha, the owner, arrived with one tray after another of delightful sandwiches. This was accompanied by her Berry/Broccoli Salad along with a pasta salad. For dessert, we were treated to Beha’s chocolate covered graham cracker treats which are like none you have ever tasted before! Individually prepared, they must have been hand-dipped and drizzled with a white icing. You cannot buy these in a store. Our entertainment was a refreshing young woman, Morgan Brooks – a rising star – who attends high school in Oldham Co. and has been singing and playing the piano for years. She writes original scores, plays guitar and did a memorable Patsy Cline song, a capella-style! A memorable performance – we were very excited to have this young lady share her talent with us – she loves entertaining seniors! Everyone who attended was so pleased with the lunch, the new entertainer and their new friends.

The Westport Seniors is open to everyone. For more information, please call Carol Kaufmann at SCE: 896-2316

On a warm afternoon this past April, a brawny crew of UPSers descended on our small offices at SCE

for a one-day complete office makeover. The goal? To clear underused cubicle space in order to make room for SCE’s new in-house community programming and outreach space.

Staff cleared out of the way as these all-business workers who included 8 men and 1 woman got down to the job at hand. They arrived ready to work hard with their own hefty bags of tools in tow. It was a whirlwind of activity for several hours ending in a new office space. The UPS group was obviously a well-oiled machine. There was little chatting, just a few muffled instructions back and forth amongst themselves as walls and desks came down, files were moved and new cubicles formed – all in the space of just a few hours. The foreman and master planner for the project was Mary Rita McDevitt, a former SCE employee, turned logistics volunteer. Under her awe-inspiring direction, this project was completed without a hitch and our new SCE programming space was born.

We at SCE can’t thank Mary Rita and the awesome UPS team enough! We are excited to share this new space as an educational and outreach facility for the community. Look for upcoming programs to be announced soon.

Celebrating Grandparentsby Carol Kaufmann

Aren’t they the jewels of the family? Like precious stones – grandparents come in all shapes,

sizes, colors, uniqueness and clarity, all to enrich our lives. And as they age they become priceless and polished and looked up to – sought after and cherished.

What else do gemstones and grandparents have in common? They are treasures in our lives. We are drawn back to the memories, like opening a drawer or jewelry box to admire a precious stone so we can relive the feelings that come flooding back. It is the same with visiting the memories of grandparents. If we are lucky enough to have them with us, we are drawn to spending precious time in their company. We reflect and take solace in stories they have told and the small favors they have bestowed upon us and even delight in the antics of the ones with special traits.

Grandparents provide the “roots” of a family’s history and connections with the past. And why do we listen and look to the past and value their opinions? We do so in order to learn about their trials and challenges, which in some cases are similar to our own. Then we can ask, “how did you handle this situation?” or “how did you solve that problem?” If we are lucky they can provide valuable insight and perhaps prevent us from making some of their past mistakes!

Grandparents provide a precious treasure to our lives, we are richer by far for having been loved by them. We, in turn, hopefully have chances to shower them with love and respect. And in the circle of life, if you are not a grandparent yet your turn will come! You’ll be so welcomed into this precious gem society!

Make sure to remember a precious gem in your life!

When returning home after a long period of time from hospitalization and rehabilitation resulting from hip replacement surgery, your home environment can also affect recovery. There are physical features in our homes such as steps and the overall layout that will need to be evaluated and modified to ensure safety to reduce any future mishaps.

We recommend that you have a trial visit to your home with your Occupational and Physical Therapists before being discharged from the skilled nursing facility. This way, the professional therapists can determine the best modifications to meet your individual needs and unique situation.

At an absolute minimum we suggest that you carry out the following safety modifications before returning home:

✔ Remove all area rugs or other hazards that may cause you to trip and fall.

✔ If using a bath tub, purchase a non skid bath mat to prevent slipping in the tub.

✔ Have a shower chair/bench in the shower with grab bars.

✔ Install a long shower hose so you can shower while sitting on the bench.

✔ Use a raised toilet seat.

✔ Stair rails along staircases and exterior entrances should be sturdy.

✔ Medical alert system to contact emergency assistance if necessary.

There are wide arrays of in home services you can obtain to assist you with maintaining your independence in your home. SeniorCare Experts home caregiver services can help with every day activities such as bathing, dressing, transportation and shopping. Physical and occupational therapy can provide in home treatment as well. Home delivered meal programs such as the one provided by SCE can help alleviate the chore of shopping for food and cooking. Some physicians even make house calls. The main objective is to maximize your independence safe and sound while living in the comfort of your own home.

Adapting the Home After Hip Replacement

Senior Hunger: A Growing ProblemBy Sandy Hamilton

One in nine seniors in America faces the threat of hunger, and that's a 20 percent increase in

the past six years. That reality, in one of the world's wealthiest nations, underscores the crisis that is at the core of Meals on Wheels' drive to end senior hunger by 2020. Doing so is not just a moral impera-tive; it's a financial one as well. About half of all health concerns affecting older Americans are related to a lack of nutrients. In other words, ensuring that seniors get food will improve their health, prevent illness, and reduce the need for medical treatments, which are largely paid by taxpay-ers through Medicare. Ending senior hunger will require many partners and widespread communications.

The risk of hunger is a national crisis, but it affects some sub-populations more than others. Low-income seniors are more likely to be at risk of hunger, for instance, even though half of all at-risk seniors have incomes above the federal poverty line. Seniors in poor or fair health are significantly more at risk of hunger than the general senior population. Seniors living in the South are at the greatest risk of hunger. The 10 states with the highest rates of hunger risk among seniors are: (1) Mississippi; (2) South Carolina; (3) Arkansas; (4) Texas; (5) New Mexico; (6) Georgia; (7) Alabama; (8) Louisiana; (9) North Carolina; and (10) Oklahoma. I am happy to see Kentucky is not in the top (10).

Even as the hunger crisis grows, budget crises such as fund-ing cuts and rising fuel costs make delivered meals more chal-lenging. Some home delivered meals programs have had to reduce the number of meals that they provide to those in need -- an absurd situation, since fewer meals means more illness, for which the public will end up paying far more. Meals on Wheels (or SCE's Home Delivered Meals) can provide meals to an in-dividual for a year for roughly the cost of one Medicare day in the hospital or 10 days in a nursing home.

In the United States of America, no one should go hungry. Everyone should have access to the food they need. We need your help. Senior Hunger should not be a part of America’s fu-ture. We encourage you to get involved: volunteer to drive meals or donate to home delivered meals programs that serve seniors, such as SeniorCare Experts. For more information, please call me, Sandy, at 896-2316.

Born in Louisville in 1925, Bob Kuhn grew up in the Taylor Blvd area, and attended Catholic

grade schools. His formal education ceased with ninth grade as was often the case in those post-depression years. His two younger brothers died in the 1918 Spanish Flu epidemic which is often referred to as the forgotten killer. The epidemic took the lives of 675, 000 Americans; more than WWI, WWII, Korea and Vietnam combined.

In 1943, Bob enlisted in the Army Air Force serving as a ground crew member for the Flight Training school in Kaya, India. Bob indicated that the Army Air Force provided him

with the best education he could have received. “I grew up and became a man and learned life’s lessons in a way no school could teach me.” Bob returned home in 1946 and married Wanda in 1947. Wanda passed away in 1997 just shy of their 50th anniversary. They had no children.

Bob said that Wanda was the first to begin making rosaries and “I knew absolutely nothing about making them. One evening I said to Wanda, give me

one of those, I want to try it.” Well, he caught on real quick and has been making rosaries for nearly thirty years. Bob’s completed rosaries are donated to the local rosary club and they in turn ship them around the world. “Currently, the rosaries are most needed in South India.” Bob estimates he has made 750,000 rosaries. He devotedly creates 20-25 per day and when asked if he ever tired of the activity, he flashed a big smile and said, "I never tire of working for the Virgin Mary. This is my way of serving now.”

Two years ago Bob had a stroke, and lay on the floor for quite some time before a worried friend came to his aid. Fortunately, his stroke was not severe and after a few weeks of rehab he returned home. The first thing he did was to contact SeniorCare Experts and have the Lifeline medical alert service installed. He stated, “Now I feel a great sense of security and don’t feel so alone anymore. I like that they check on me and even know which room I am in when I talk with them. I can’t do without it now.” Bob said his doctor approved of his Lifeline and also told him how the activity of making the rosaries contributed to his excellent recovery.

Bob has a goal of one million rosaries and I have no doubt he will succeed. During our conversation, he showed me step by step how he assembles the rosaries. His hands moved with amazing agility and I could sense his pride in creating these beautiful symbols of his faith. Best of all, he gifted me with the rosary I watched him so lovingly make. Made my day!

Singing Senior Feels Too YoungDear Terry and Terry,

I have been invited to perform in a singing and dancing show with some “senior” performers. I can sing but not dance. I’ve been to some of this group’s performances and while they are talented and entertaining, they are old people. I don’t want to be considered an old person; I don’t feel old even though I’m in the same age category as this bunch. Not sure what to do. — A Singing Not-so-SeniorDear Not-So-Senior,

Since you don't mention your age, I figure you are in the younger side of the "senior" age category. This is just when people are particularly sensitive to the idea of aging and the label of "senior." I imagine this group wants to include you because of your talent rather than your age, which is a compliment! Most likely they, as well as the audience, will watch the group and enjoy the performance, not really thinking about the age factor. Having said that, it is understandable that you feel as you do. You can do one of two things. You can say no and await the time in your life when you feel you are legitimately a "senior" and actually "feel old" (though who knows when or if that may be), or you can say what the heck, do it and probably enjoy yourself despite your self-consciousness. If you have guessed my bias, you are probably right. Remember that age is all in the mind......If you don't mind, it doesn't matter! — Terry L.

Endangered By Pamela Beason

Sam Westin is a biologist working in the Utah forest where she arranged for the release of cougars into the wild as part of the “Save the Wilderness” project. While hiking the park she comes across a wandering toddler who she manages to return to his father at a nearby campsite. Shortly thereafter, word reaches her that 2-year old Zachary Fischer is missing again. The media immediately jumps on this as a probable ‘cougar snatching’ even though there is no evidence to that end. Sam and her friend FBI agent Chase Perez race to uncover clues to the mystery before the cougars become the innocent target of vigilante justice. Filled with stunning twists and vivid detail of the Utah wilderness, readers will

feel they are experiencing the wild high country first hand.

Whiskey Rebellion Liliana Hart

Addison Holmes, a history teacher turned detective must attempt to solve the mystery of her high school principal’s apparent murder behind a sleazy strip club. Little does she know, there are more dead bodies in her future. Holmes is an exceptionally lovable character and the author expertly keeps the story moving along at a good pace while the plot follows a zig zag tale of humorous and unusual ‘situations’. A really fun, relatively short summer read.

Beautiful RuinsBy Jess Walter

Set in a small Italian coastal town this novel is told in stories that bounce from 1962 to the present and back again. Pasquale, a young man whose family owns the only small hotel in the village, wants to attract more tourists to make his village competitive with successful coastal communities nearby. Alvis Bender, an American tourist and writer, visits for two weeks yearly working on a book – a book that has only one chapter to date. Then along comes Dee Moray; a young beautiful actress and everything changes. A compelling story that will make you laugh out loud and also make you cry. A wonderful blend of past and present, Beautiful Ruins succeeds in pulling together several characters to a delightful ending.

You may believe that selling your home is impossible in today’s market. You may feel powerless to the process. What could YOU possibly do to turn this

housing market around? There is no doubt that today’s real estate market is difficult to navigate. However, thousands of homes sold yesterday, thousands will sell today and thousands more will sell from now until the end of the year.

It is totally within your power to guarantee that your house will sell even in the current market.

“How?”, you ask. Let’s look at the simplicity of the famous Serenity Prayer and apply it to selling a home in today’s real estate market.

“Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.”

n Accept the things you cannot changeThe two main reasons that the housing prices have

softened:1. the current economy2. the inventory of distressed properties (foreclosures and

short sales)As an individual homeowner, there is no way for you to

impact either of those two situations. The best think-tanks in the country are struggling to discover solutions.

n Have the courage to change the things you canCould you sell your home today for $1 … $1,000 …

$10,000? Of course you could. There are plenty of buyers in the market for a home they consider priced correctly. You have to decide what the correct price is for your home if you truly want to sell. If you want your house sold, you must list it at a price a buyer will pay for it; not a buyer from 2006, but today’s buyer who has plenty of homes from which to choose.

It will take courage to sit with a real estate professional and honestly decipher the true value of your home. If you want to sell, you must have that courage.

nThe wisdom to know the differenceWe all realize that the economic situation will take some

time to correct. If we want to wait for prices to return to 2006 levels, we will probably have to wait for 5-7 years.

Look at the reason you decided to sell in the first place and decide whether the extra money you would get from the

sale is worth that wait. Is money more important than being with family? Is

money more important than your health? Is money more important than having the freedom to go on with your life the way you think

you should?This is where your wisdom must

kick in. You already know the answers to the questions we just asked. You have the power to take back control of the situation by pricing your home to guarantee it sells. The time has come for you and your family to move on and start living the life you desire. That is what is truly important.

Grocery Shopping Can Help Feed Our Oldest Generationby Patty Dissell

Did you know that when you shop at Kroger and use the SCE Kroger card, you are helping our clients? Here’s an example of how the monies generated from the Kroger card

program can help SCE.One of our programs is our Home Delivered Meals. We have

chefs prepare these wonderful meals and then a caring and gracious volunteer delivers the meal to the door of one of our recipients.

Over the last 12 months….n SCE delivered 21,994 mealsn Kroger card program brought in $1,328n This equates to 221 meals for our oldest generation!

If you use your SCE Kroger card each time you do your grocery shopping we can make this number grow! How great would it be if we brought in enough money just to cover half of the number of meals we served!

Here’s a gentle reminder on how to use the card:1. Before you scan your first item, or the attendant scans your

first item, please tell them you would like to “put money on your card.”

2. Tell them the amount you would like to add to the card and give him or her means of payment.

3. After they add the monies to your SCE Kroger card, they will start scanning your items.

4. When they are ready for payment, simply use your Kroger card and Wa-La! Your purchase just helped SeniorCare Experts! This is no different than swiping your debit card or buying your groceries with cash or check. You’re just putting the money on the card first.

I have had several people tell me they are using the SCE Kroger card as a means of budgeting. They budget so much per week or per month and that is what they put on the card. The receipt tells you how much you have left on the card each time, so you know how much you have to spend the next time you go shopping! Kroger cards work at the gas pump too. You can even have one card for groceries and one for gas if you are trying to monitor how much gas you are using per month or simply to stay within your budget.

It’s easy and it really helps us. Listed above is just one example of the many programs and services these funds can help SCE. We do not want to turn anyone away when they need assistance. We need to raise funds to help offset the cost of the many services we provide. Will you consider helping us? The Kroger card fundraising program could grow with your help which means YOU are helping more and more of our special citizens!

OLD WISDOMAfter working his farm every day, an old farmer rarely had time to

enjoy the large pond in the back that he had fixed up years earlier with picnic tables, horseshoe courts, and benches. So one evening he decided to go down and see how things were holding up. Much to his surprise, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee. As he came closer he saw it was a group of young women skinny dipping in his pond.

He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep end. One of the women shouted to him, "We're not coming out until you leave."

The old farmer replied, "I didn't come down here to watch you ladies swim or make you get out of the pond naked. I only came down to feed the alligator."

Moral: Old age and treachery will always triumph over youth and skill.
