Chess, or the “the game ofkings,” was used by rulers ofempires and kingdoms as away to practice and strategizein dealing with other mon-archs and challengers. Chessis again being promoted as away for us to strategize andthe benefits it has on the brainare being studied.

It is a game ofthinking and challenges andis being reintroduced to thepublic as a game with multi-ple benefits. It can help to pre-vent Alzheimer’s because thebrain works like a muscle andthat muscle needs to be chal-lenged to keep it strong andhealthy. Chess also exercisesboth sides of the brain in thatit works on identification andquick responses. Your creativ-ity will be challenged and that
works the right side of yourbrain, especially since yourcreative thinking and original-ity will increase. Chess playersknow that playing this gamewill improve their memory.You will begin to rememberhow past challengers haveplayed and recall ing theirmoves will give you an op-portunity to beat those op-ponents. Memory and orga-nizational skills have beenbenefits of the game for par-ticipants. But you can alsosee increases in problemsolving skills and it can im-prove concentration.

Join us on Monday, July 31st(4th week) as we check out Mr.Lincoln and his Gettysburg Ad-dress.
Lincoln at Gettysburg: The Words that Re-made America by Garry Wills
Garry Wills shows how Lincoln reachedback to the Declaration of Independence towrite the greatest speech in the nation’s his-tory. The power of words has rarely beengiven a more compelling demonstrationthan in the Gettysburg Address. Lincolnwas asked to memorialize the gruesome bat-tle. Instead he gave the whole nation “a newbirth of freedom” in the space of a mere 272words. His entire life and previous train-ing and his deep political experience wentinto this, his revolutionary masterpiece. Byexamining both the address and Lincolnin their historical moment and culturalframe, Wills breathes new life into words wethought we knew, and reveals much about apresident so mythologized but often misun-derstood. Wills shows how Lincoln came tochange the world and to effect an intellec-
tual revolution, how his words had to anddid complete the work of the guns, and howLincoln wove a spell that has not yet beenbroken.
Monday, August 15th at 1:00 we willbe discussing this fascinating thriller.11/22/63 by Stephen King
Jake Epping is a thirty-f ive-year-old high school English teacher inLisbon Falls, Maine, who makes ex-tra money teaching adults in the GEDprogram. He receives an essay fromone of the students—a gruesome, har-rowing f irst person story about thenight 50 years ago when Harry Dun-ning’s father came home and killedhis mother, his sister, and his brotherwith a hammer. Harry escaped witha smashed leg, as evidenced by hiscrooked walk.
Not much later, Jake’s friend Al,who runs the local diner, divulgesa secret: his storeroom is a portal to1958. He enlists Jake on an insane—and insanely possible—mission to tryto prevent the Kennedy assassination.
So begins Jake’s new life as GeorgeAmberson and his new world of Elvisand JFK, of big American cars andsock hops, of a troubled loner namedLee Harvey Oswald and a beauti-ful high school librarian named Sa-die Dunhill, who becomes the love ofJake’s life—a life that transgresses allthe normal rules of time.
Come out and join the fun!

Each year, thousandsof Americans are thrustinto the uncomfortablerole of making long-term care decisions fortheir family members.These emotional deci-sions may create stress-ful situations for theentire family in addi-tion to being time-con-suming and expensive.
Fortunately, thereis a way to help reducethe stress connected tothese situations: com-munication. Discuss-ing plans for long-term care before theneed arises can greatlyreduce the stress thatmay arise while deal-ing with an illness ordisability.
Raising the subjectmay create some mo-mentary awkwardnessfor both parents andtheir adult children.However it is far betterto discuss long-term
care options ahead oftime and together de-cide what makes themost sense for the fam-ily.
Thrivent Financialrecommends that fam-ilies ask certain ques-tions regarding a long-term care strategy:
• Where and howyou would like care de-livered, if you were toneed it.
• The level of inde-pendence you’d like tomaintain.
• The role you’d likeyour family to play inyour care.
• How you want tofund your care, whileprotecting your assets.
Clear communica-tion can help elimi-nate the problem ofcatching a spouse oradult child off guard.It can also help elim-inate the burden ofuncertainty with diffi-cult decisions. Spellingout the location of im-portant documents, aswell as care wishes, en-sures that family mem-bers have the informa-tion they need to pro-vide for their lovedone’s desired care.
Create a financialand care inventoryIt is also important
to update family mem-bers on the locationand status of financialand care documents.Having an inventoryof these documentsprovides family mem-bers with a roadmapto critical informa-tion. It is focused onthe “where” informa-tion on financial hold-ings is located; notspecific details aboutthe financial holdings.The inventory is not alegal document, andit need not divulgepersonal or confiden-tial details you are not
prepared to share. Itshould, however, en-able loved ones toquickly locate whereyou keep your finan-cial, legal, care andlegacy records shoulda crisis occur.
T h i s i nventor yshould be updated atleast annually, andcopies given to fam-ily members - a law-yer or executor – orplaced in a secure lo-cation where thosewho might need it canaccess it.
While each family’sinventory will differ,the inventory shouldinclude informationrelated to where some-one can find the fol-lowing:
• Living wills/healthcare directives
• Insurance ando t h e r c o n t r a c t s(health, life, long-termcare, annuities, auto,homeowners, etc.)
• Wills, trusts anddeeds
• Bank accounts andinvestment accounts
• Credit card ac-counts and other out-
standing debt• Contact informa-
tion for lawyers, ac-countants, brokers,agents
• Jewelry and othervaluables
• Essential keys• Instructions re-
lated to funeral ar-rangements
• Personal instruc-tions or messages
• Location of birth,marriage and militarydischarge certificates
• Information re-lated to charitable gifts
While it may be adiff icult topic, openand honest communi-cation about your long-term care strategy canbe one of the best waysto prepare for a stress-free financial future.

Timed Up and Go, orTUG, is a screening toolused by healthcare prac-titioners to assess balance.Individuals are timed toidentify who is at risk forfalls compared to theirage group. The test is veryreliable and valid, andtypically does not take along time to administer.The TUG is an importantpart of a geriatric tool kitto assess if a patient is athigh or low risk of falls,and may also reveal a lotabout an individual’s gait.
The test is typicallygiven as such:
Sit in a chair, walk 3meters or 10 feet, turnaround, and sit backdown. The chair is of typ-ical height 40-50cms. Thedirections for speed are a“normal, safe pace” butsome practitioners maysay “quick, safe pace”.You can perform the testone time or get an aver-age of 3 trials. The timingis started with movementor on a command such as“go” or “start”. (Bohan-non, 2006)
If you time exceeds 13.5seconds to perform thetest, you are at a HIGHrisk for falls. (Shumway-Cook, 2000)
Age group norms tellyou the mean time it takesfor your peers to performthe TUG by decade:
• 60-69 years 8.1 sec• 70-79 years 9.2 sec• 80-99 years 11.3seconds
As a physical therapist,I administer this test of-ten in addition to a host ofother balance tests to de-termine a patient’s over-all balance health. Not allbalance tests have a walk-ing component. This testhas three components:sit to stand from a chair,a straight walk, and aturn. This test is signifi-cant because it allows forthe use of an assistive de-vice, whereas not all bal-ance tests do.
This short balancescreening provides a lotof important informationabout a patient. Goingfrom sit to stand, I lookto see: where on the chairthe person is attemptingto rise from; placementof feet on the ground; useof arms to assist with therise; and I listen to respi-ration. From stand to sit atthe end of the test, I assessthe control or eccentriccontraction of the quad-riceps muscles and if theindividual can sit without“plopping” into the chair.
The straightaway por-tion of the TUG is wherephysical therapists assessgait. I look for any devia-tions from the norm, suchas inability to walk in astraight line, circumduc-tion of the leg, uneven steplength, foot drop, shuf-f ling, abnormal lateralmovement of the hips, andcadence.
The last portion of theTUG is the turn. I look forhow many steps it takesto make the 180-degreeturn, if the turn is smoothor does the individualwobble, and if the speedis timely.
The cutoff time of 13.5seconds for the TUG cangive all healthcare provid-ers and laypeople a simpleone-sided view if an indi-vidual is at risk for falls.Analyzing all three com-ponents of the test allowsa physical therapist to notonly assess high or lowrisk of fall, but WHY anindividual may be falling.If you score greater than13.5 seconds, you may ben-
efit from physical therapyto address the reasons whyyou are at high risk of falls.

Create Your Legacy
What will your legacy be? How willyou be remembered? Many peo-ple expect that their children andgrandchildren will be their legacy.Others have left their mark on the
world through their business or their public ser-vice. Only the very rich leave a legacy through theirgenerosity, right? WRONG!
Legacy giving, also known as planned giving, isnot just for the more well-to-do people. And it doesnot need to be complicated. Almost anyone canleave a generous and sustaining gift to the organi-zation of their choice if they plan ahead.
Here are two easy ways to cement your legacywhile improving the lives of older adults in ourarea:
• A bequest: A bequest is planned giving in itssimplest form. This is a directive in your will togive a part of your estate to an organization. Itmay be a fixed dollar amount or a percentage ofyour assets when you pass. Talk to your attor-ney about adding your favorite charitable organi-zations to your will.
• Life insurance: There are a few options withlife insurance. If you are paying premiums on apolicy you no longer need, consider naming a char-ity as the beneficiary. What may be a small pre-mium over the years could add up to a sizable giftfor a charity.
Planned giving does not need to be complex.You can leave a legacy that will benefit thousandsof seniors for years to come. Talk to your attorneyor estate planner about which planned giving op-tions may be right for your situation.
Donors who notify us of their plans will be per-manently honored on our “Legacy Wall” in the newcenter.
If you have questions about planned giving, orwould like to discuss your plans with the cen-ter,call Brian Parkes at 610-323-5305.
The July birthday party will be held on Wed., July13th . Bruce Fagan will be entertaining us andour friends from Family Caregivers are sponsoring the event this month. (Due to the Berean Churchbeing closed the week of 7/17 we are holding the birthday celebration a week early.)
August’s birthday celebration, sponsored by Southeastern Home Health, will be held Wed., Au-gust 17th. We are welcoming back Kevin Pierce to the TriCounty Active Adult Center as our enter-tainer. Our own DJ Jay will finish off the day with music to dance and sing along to.

When you see a lawyerdo you expect good legaladvice? If good legal ad-vice is all you expect, that islikely the most you will get.People should expect andreceive the BEST legal ad-vice. Getting the best legaladvice starts with choosinga lawyer who thinks thereis a difference betweengood advice and the bestadvice for each client. In aprevious article for the Tri-County Active Adult Cen-ter newsletter publishedOctober 2015, I offeredsuggestions for finding theright lawyer for your legalneeds. That article titled,Be Picky About Picking aLawyer, can be found onour law firm’s website.
Once you choose a law-yer, getting the best ad-vice can be achieved if youand your lawyer work to
have a trusting relation-ship and effective commu-nication. This article dealswith your lawyer’s role toachieve those things. Myarticle on the client’s role,Want the Best Legal Ad-vice? Here is Your Role, isalso on our website.
Your lawyer’s role in de-livering the best legal ad-vice involves the followingskills.
Knowledge of the Law.It is a lawyer’s obligation tobe honest with you abouthis knowledge and experi-ence dealing with your le-gal situation. If you haveany doubts, ask.
Attentive Listening. Alawyer has a duty to care-fully listen to what you tellhim. It is important forhim to get your informa-tion and appreciate howyou perceive your situa-tion. Studies have shownthat when a person’s atten-tion is divided he hears andunderstands less of what heis trying to take in. Inter-ruptions and multi-taskingduring a conversation witha client is not effective com-munication. You deserve tobe fully heard and under-stood.
Questions. An experi-enced lawyer knows whatfacts are legally most im-portant in a certain situa-
tion. Facts are often per-ceived differently by differ-ent people. A lawyer shouldask questions to determinehow you and others see thesituation.
Understand What YouWant. A lawyer cannot giveyou the best legal adviceunless he knows what youwant to achieve. Are youseeking damages, a changeof another’s actions or per-haps simple affirmation?Legal advice and strategycan vary a great deal de-pending on your goal. Alawyer must understandyour goals.
Give a Clear Explana-tion. Part of a lawyer’s jobis to be understood. Oftenthis means, “Don’t talk likea lawyer.” People learn in-formation differently andoften learn best when it ispresented in a way that in-volves more than one ofthe senses; hearing, sight,
touch, smell, speech. Thebest advice is given so it en-gages two or more senses.Giving a client advice ver-bally and following up inwriting is one example.Using visual images andwritten text along with anoral presentation is often agood tool in business andestate planning situations.
Discuss All Options. Cli-ents deserve to hear all le-gal options available tothem. A lawyer should al-ways discuss the optionsand then offer his rec-ommendation of the bestoption(s) to meet the cli-ent’s goals.
Confirm Your Under-standing. A lawyer shouldask if you fully understandthe advice given. Stud-ies have shown that peo-ple are often reluctant toask professional advisorsquestions about advicegiven even if they do not
fully understand. To makesure you have his best ad-vice, your lawyer shouldask you for questions andeven if don’t ask, repeatthe advice. Then he shouldbe willing to put his advicein writing.
All of these skills help tocreate effective communi-cation. When this occursyou are likely to find theadvice more useful. This iswhat makes the best advice
