Hello fellow readers,Winter predictions are

always a popular topicthis time of year. You'veheard the folklore; thewider the middle brown

section of the woolybear caterpillar themilder the comingwinter.The more frenzied the

nut collecting ofsquirrels the harsher thewinter. While visitingthe Lakota WolfPreserve in earlyAugust, Pam noted theircritters were way aheadin developing wintercoats indicating a toughwinter ahead.The legends go on and

on and are fun toanticipate but we look

forward to the officialopinion of the experts.Marcia of Columbia

turned me onto anauthority in our area -the Eastern Pennsylva-nia Weather Authority(EPAWA) who recentlyreleased their 2013/14Winter Outlook. They

provide detailedtechnical information

based on trends ofseveral indicators usingacronyms and lingo thatfrankly are puzzling to

me kind of like todaysbusiness jargon.

"There are someindications that warm-ing in ENSO regions

3.4 and 4 would suggesta weak El Nino maybegin to developsometime in January.This, combined withsome other factors(especially a decliningQBO) is a grand slamfor snow lovers.Oh boy, at least I

understand the grandslam part.They did share some

easy to understandassociations such asthere is significantlymore snow cover inCanada this time of

year as compared to thelast two indicating lesschance cold air willmoderate as it reachesour latitude.Translated, arctic

blasts are likely to lastlonger. Anothervariable, the sea surfacetemperatures in theAtlantic are warmerthan usual due to thelack of tropical stormactivity which may holdsnow events longer onland. Wahoo, it soundslike a grand slamindeed!

Speaking of businessjargon mumbo jumbo;while trying to predictthis winters forecast, Iread through theanalytics and drilleddown to get to theminutia of the winterweather ahead.

(NAPSI)The numberof people over age 50

providing care for at

least one living parenthas soared to more than10 million, according tothe Center for LongTerm Care Research andPolicy at New YorkMedical College.This responsibility

frequently comes at atime when caregivers areconfronted with manyother stressors, includ-ing retirement, finan-cially supporting adultchildren or dealing withhealth concerns of theirown.Caring for aging loved

ones often involvesmaking difficultdecisions about when to

begin searching for asenior living facility andhow to select the rightone.Sue Mullaney, a geriat-

ric nurse practitioner,knows firsthand theemotional, financial and

physical toll these kinds

of decisions can take.Mullaney is the NationalDirector of Clinical

Programs for OptumCarePlus, which coordi-nates care in thousandsof nursing homes acrossthe nation.She offers these tips to

help ease the burden forpeople beginning thesearch for a nursinghome: Evaluate the quality

of health care. Learnhow each prospectivefacility coordinates care,as well as how and whenresidents will haveaccess to medical

professionals. Are

supervisors on-site tooversee the quality ofcare provided? Areregistered nurses ornurse practitioners avail-able for additional carecoordination? Knowingeach facilitys proce-dures will help you makethe best choice. Determine the right

treatment option. Some

nursing homes special-ize in rehabilitativeservices while others

focus on caring forpatients with specificconditions, such asAlzheimers or strokerecovery. Depending onyour loved ones needs,search for a facility withthe right specialization. Consider the appear-

ance. When it comes toselecting a nursinghome, you can judge a

book by its cover. Take agood look around afacilitys dining area,community spaces andliving areas, as well asthe exterior grounds. Are

they clean and wellcared for? Are employ-ees courteous and

professional? Areresidents interacting and

participating in activi-ties? These answers areimportant to determinethe quality of life at afacility. Set clear expectations.

Once you select the right

nursing facility, ask thestaff to develop awritten care plan for theindividual who willreceive care. Request atime to review it with

family members.By communicating

care needs to facilitystaff early in the

process, you can helpprevent a lapse in careduring the transition.This process will also

help you build relation-ships with personneland set expectations formethods and frequency

of communication withfamily members.Throughout the

process, remember thatthe more informationyou have, the more

comfortable you andyour loved ones will bewith your decision.Considering these

By Doreen RutherfordThis is the time of year

that I feel the cold in mybones and my body istelling me I need some

pampering. It certainlyhelps the winter to seemshorter if you treat your-self to spa services. Ifound a spa that has

reasonable rates forexceptional service. Itis in my "must go"category; not because itis a huge spa with waterfountains and fancygold leaf columns; but

because the services areconstantly excellent fora reasonable price.I really don't feel too

good when I go to a spaand pay a grand amountof money for services,only to feel as though Iended up with a mini-mal service. I actuallyfeel worse than when I

went in, when thathappens. I assure youthis will not happen atJennifer's.Jennifer's Hair Salon

and Day Spa, located at6 East Main St. in

quaint Pen Argyl, isowned by JenniferReto-Renaldo. She isalways at the spa,making sure you aregetting the best of care.Jennifer has operatedher business for over 34years starting with hairservices and then

providing clients withspa treats as well. TheSpa experience was

possible by creating a"Spa Space" on thesecond floor, makingroom for massagetherapy, facials and

body scrubs.The Massage Thera-

pist, London Dickey,specializes in Swedish,Deep Tissue and HotStone Massages. On thesecond floor, there isalso a consignment

boutique with somereally cute items for

Men, Women and Chil-dren, including shoes,handbags and accesso-ries.I prefer the deep tissue

massage. London hasvery strong hands, but

she also does the Swed-ish method well, and isalways attentive towhatever physicalissues I might havewhen I come in for mymassage. Everyoneworks hard to make sureI have the most relaxingexperience possible.

The massage is 60minutes on a heatedtable in a pleasant room.After your massage,make sure you rest anddrink plenty of water.I recommend calling

the salon to inquireabout their holiday spa

packages, it wouldmake a great gift to afriend, family memberor, like I do, to yourself.They are having anOpen House on Sunday,December 8th, from5pm to 7pm with appe-tizers, door prizes and a
