A Newsletter for Juneau County Seniors & Adults with Disabilities

NOTES FROM CHARLENE NORBERG, DIRECTOR

Ageless

FREE�

There is nothing more awkward than the moment you realize you’re ge�ng a double�cheek kiss!�

Beginning in late fall and running through the holiday season, kicking off a New Year, and

shaping the minds and na!onally�centric a�tudes of Americans is an impeachment process

with the poten!al to make history. It is a poli!cally charged period in America. The basic

rights of some individuals, not granted with the honor and protec!on of U.S ci!zenship are

being viewed as threatened. Increasingly hos!le disagreement is building between the President of the United

States and Congress. One side wants more leniency, the other wants the freedom and support to implement

government remodeling ini!a!ves. The Country is divided in their judgement of our na!ons leader with one

half depic!ng him as clumsy, arrogant and uncompromising; the other half levying unflinching loyalty to his

ac!ons.�

One fac!on of Congress sees the President as a roadblock standing in their way of ins!tu!ng policy that they

believe will pave the way forward for a na!on divided. The other fac!on sees their congressional counterparts

as unyielding and radical; opposed to legisla!ve ac!on simply due to party lines.�

The House of Representa!ves meet a0er months of gathering documenta!on on the President for charges

related to his use of execu!ve power. Ar!cles of Impeachment are dra0ed. The full House votes and the

President is impeached. �

Now comes the Senate hearing. Over a period of several weeks tes!mony is heard, witnesses are called, and

the na!on sits in wait for the official ruling. The Senate votes to acquit. The President retains his posi!on in

office. History is upheld.�

No President of the U.S has yet to be removed from office. But, the year is not 2020. It is March of 1868 and

the President is Andrew Johnson. The “radical” party who voted to impeach is the republicans. The basic rights

in ques!on are those of the newly freed slaves in the south. And the na!on is reeling from the end of the U.S

Civil War.�

A country divided by poli!cs and percep!ons…�

In the words of Paul Harvey� “And now you know the rest of the story”.�

How to Make It

Step 1

Heat oven to 375° F.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the butter, granulated sugar,

vanilla, and eggs until blended. Add the flour, baking powder,

and salt and mix until just combined (do not overmix).

Step 3

With floured hands, roll level tablespoonfuls of the dough into

balls and place on parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them

2 inches apart. Bake until puffed and the bottoms are pale

golden, 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.

Step 4

Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the

confectioners’ sugar, 2 tablespoons water, and the vanilla until

the mixture forms a thick but pourable glaze (add more water if

necessary).

Step 5

Dip the top of each cookie into the glaze and let set, rounded

side up, on a rack set over a piece of parchment paper. Sprinkle

with nonpareils, if using. Allow the glaze to set, about 20

minutes. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room

temperature for up to 5 days.

Caring for someone with a chronic

illness such as lung disease requires

an understanding of how different

chronic lung diseases affect different

people. Chronic lung disease is not

always noticeable to others unless the

person is on oxygen therapy or uses a

scooter or wheelchair.

People with lung disease may try to hide their

symptoms or shrug them off by

saying they’re just tired or had a

busy day. Many times it’s hard

for them to ask for help, and they

may get angry at their caregiver

or family members for even

offering to help. When a person

with lung disease has difficulty

breathing or is extremely

fatigued, he or she feels a loss of

control and may try to control

other things around him (like his caregiver or family).

He may also feel guilty if he smoked in the past, and

you, the caregiver, may feel some resentment toward

him if he did smoke.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is

long-term blockage of air movement in the lungs. It

includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis.

Think of the lungs like an

upside down tree, with the

windpipe (trachea) being the

trunk, the bronchial tubes the

branches and the air sacs as

the leaves. Because there are

millions of these tiny air sacs,

a lot of damage can be done

before a person notices breathing problems. Because

oxygen moves into the bloodstream through these tiny

air sacs, when they are damaged we cannot get enough

oxygen into our body.

A person with COPD may have either emphysema or

bronchitis, but most people with COPD have both.

Some may also have symptoms similar to asthma. In

emphysema, there is damage to the walls of the air

sacs in the lungs that prevents transfer of oxygen into

the bloodstream. The lungs lose their ability to stretch,

producing shortness of breath during activity. In

chronic bronchitis the damage is in the breathing tubes

(bronchial tubes), which become inflamed and swollen

and produce large amounts of mucus, making it

difficult to get air in and out of the lungs.

Causes of COPD

The most common cause of COPD is cigarette

smoking. Other causes are:

�Breathing in dust, chemicals and coal dust

or silica at work

�Indoor air pollution from cooking fuels

and heating in poorly ventilated homes

�Secondhand smoke

�Childhood lung infections

�Only about 2% of cases are inherited

Symptoms of COPD

The first symptom of COPD is usually coughing that

produces mucus, followed by shortness of breath after

activities such as climbing the stairs. As breathing

difficulties worsen, people with COPD may eventually

get tired dressing and bathing, lose the ability to

concentrate, and put strain on their heart because their

lungs are not processing enough oxygen, causing

swollen feet, ankles and legs.

Avoid Air Pollution and Pollen

People with lung disease may be affected by irritating

substances in the air, or they may have allergies to

pollen. Inside or outside of the home they should

always avoid dust, smoke, fumes from wood- or coal-

burning stoves, and strong odors. People highly

allergic to mold may have trouble breathing if exposed

to it.

Stress Relief

Stress can make breathing more difficult. When people

have trouble breathing, they may become anxious,

which can make breathing even more of a problem.

Relaxation techniques such as meditation, or tensing

and relaxing muscle groups are very helpful

Slow Down

People with COPD need to conserve their energy

so they don’t become exhausted. Here are a few

tips for doing that:

� Take it easy; move slowly; sit while doing

chores or other activities.

� Avoid lifting and bending; keep household

items within easy reach.

� Rest after eating.

� Use a cart with wheels to carry things.

� Use a shower stool and hose sprayer in the

bathtub.

Flu and Pneumonia

Many people with lung disease become sick during

flu season, and the flu can lead to

pneumonia. People with lung disease and their

caregivers should always:

� Stay away from other people with colds or

flu.

� Wash hands often and clean the telephone with

antibacterial soap.

� Get a flu shot (pneumonia shots are also

available).

� Contact the doctor as soon as they come down

with the flu or a cold.

Taking Care of Yourself—

Stress Relief For You & The Care Receiver

Relaxa�on techniques are very helpful for people with

chronic lung disease, and also for their caregivers. Here

are some �ps to help the person in your care and you

relax��

• develop a regular habit of yoga, prayer, medita�on,

or listening to soothing music�

• use your imagina�on to pretend you are on the

beach or some other peaceful place; stay there un�l

you feel calm�

• slowly tense and then relax each part of your body,

star�ng with your toes and working your way up.

Remember to breathe while you do this exercise.�

Safety Tips— Quit Smoking

Smoking causes 480,000 deaths per year. The most important thing a

person with lung disease can do is STOP SMOKING. Smoking is the

number one cause of COPD and can make any kind of lung disease

worse. FDA approved medications, nicotine gum, patches or lozenges

are available that can help a person stop smoking. Sometimes even

multiple medications may be needed. Eating a healthy diet, drinking

plenty of water and juice, and taking vitamin supplements can make

withdrawal easier and less uncomfortable. People who smoke and have

lung disease need extra support and encouragement from family mem-

bers, friends, and caregivers so they can stop smoking. Professional

counselors can also help. Activities should be planned that reduce de-

pression and stress, which can make a person want to “light up.” The

Food and Drug Administration has not found any e-cigarette to be safe

and effective in helping smokers quit. If smokers are ready to quit

smoking for good, they should call 1-800-QUIT NOW or talk with

their doctor about finding the best way to quit using proven methods

and FDA-approved treatments and counseling. The American Lung

Association’s Freedom From Smoking ® program is a proven way

to quit smoking—and stay quit.�

Memory Care - Agitation

Agitated behavior can start

in the early stage of

Alzheimer's and grows

worse in the middle stage

of the illness. The term

“agitation” covers a group

of different, but related,

behaviors. Very mild

agitation may seem like a

personality change in

which a person acts in

ways that are

uncharacteristic or

inappropriate for him or

her, such as being very

stubborn, worried, or

nervous. More severe

agitation can be disruptive

or even dangerous.

HEALTHY BREAKFAST IDEAS

Do you find yourself asking, should we have cereal or toast for breakfast

today because you are tired and don’t feel like making anything that requires

much energy or thought? Here are some easy, yet nutritious ideas to help you

change things up.

♦ Greek yogurt: is packed with protein. S�r in some fruit, flaxseed, chia seeds, or

nuts if you like to boost fiber and add even more protein. �

♦ Instant Breakfast Milk Shake: Combine and mix well: one packet instant breakfast mix, one cup whole

milk, half and half , or reduced fat milk and 1/2 cup ice cream. Add a li�le coffee for flavor boost �

♦ Add peanut or nut bu#er & fruit: to smoothies, s�r into hot cereals, or use on toast, pancakes, waffles, or

French toast. Top with an egg for 6 more grams of protein.�

♦ Co#age Cheese: Whip it up in the blender and add to smoothies or hot cereal or flavor with some herbs

or spices and eat on a bagel or English muffin. Its great topped with chives and a li�le pepper. �

Top of the morning, good afternoon and nice evening to everyone from the Bluff's

Senior dining center in Camp Douglas. First let me say thank you from all of the

participants at this site to the New Lisbon singing Valentine choir for taking time to

come here for our Dine@5 in February. We have very talented singers at that

school! Also thank you to Mr. Ken Bolchen. He came to our Dine@5 last month as

well and performed some magic. Many people had compliments for the whole

evening including the Swiss Steak dinner provided by Bernie's Wagon Wheel II of

Wonewoc.

The Necedah High School acting group that was coming to entertain in March has

cancelled, so I think we will play some Bingo. Our meal will be Barbecue Boneless

Pork with a baked potato, and cauliflower smothered in cheese

sauce. We'll have something green for dessert for St. Patrick's Day.

Keep your eyes open and ear to the wind! We should be moved back

to our old "new" facility in April and plans are in the works to have a

grand opening luncheon, probably the last week of April. Details in

the near future. In the mean time call Bluff's Dining site, located at

the VFW, to reserve your favorite lunch this month.
