Senior Center to spread the word on Lyme disease. Last year, Pennsylvania was number one for

reported cases in the U.S. Her discussion will include: defending yourself and property; avoiding a

tick habitat; remembering to tick check and shower; eliminating ticks correctly; what to do if

bitten by a tick; signs to look for; how to properly remove a tick; when to see your doctor; how to

help keep ticks out of your yard; and spraying permethrin on your shoes. Drop-ins are welcome.

Wednesday, May 9th at 9:30 a.m. Senior Medicare Patrol: This organization’s primary goal is to

teach Medicare beneficiaries how to protect their personal identity, identify and report errors on

their health care bills and identify deceptive health care practices, such as illegal marketing,

unnecessary or inappropriate services and charging for services that were never provided. The

speaker will also talk about the new Medicare cards that no longer show your Social Security

Number.

Thursday, May 10th at 6:30 p.m. Walking Together—Caregiving for the Memory Loss Community.

The Big Spring Senior Center, in partnership with First United Presbyterian Church and Green Ridge

Village, continues its forum series at the Church, 111 West Big Spring Avenue, Newville. A

representative from the Alzheimer’s Association will talk about “Memory Loss, Dementia/

Alzheimer’s Disease—The Basics.” On Thursday, June 14th, at 6:30 p.m., the Walking Together topic

will be “Effective Communication Strategies,” also provided by the Alzheimer’s Association.

Wednesday, May 16th at 9:30 a.m. “MindMatters” - Supermarket Marketing: Don’t Be Fooled.

Supermarkets are a stage where the highly orchestrated marketing strategies of retailers can turn

a routine trip to purchase a quart of milk into a trunk full of groceries. Dr. Sean Coary shares his

insights into these ingenious product marketing tactics and opens our eyes to the calculating

world of food marketing. Wednesday, June 27th at 9:30 a.m. “MindMatters”: The Science of

Dreams. Dreaming is one of the most fascinating and mysterious human functions. Have you ever

wondered what dreams are and/or how they are formed? Although we all dream on a regular

basis, we often wake up barely being able to remember any details. Why is it that we can

remember some of our dreams, but not others?
