Rita.Lambdin.with.Adam.PorterRita.Lambdin.worked.for.many.years.as.an.accountant. in.SCC..After. retirement. she. started.looking. for. a. change.. But,. how.do.you.“retire”.when.you.already.live.in.the.retirement.paradise.of.Kings. Point?. Rita. looked. across.an. ocean. and. what. she. saw.filled.her.heart.. The.accountant.moved. to. Uganda,. Africa. to.work.with.children.at.the.Bethany.Baby.House..My. life. has. taken. a. whole.new. direction. since. moving. to.Uganda.. I. have. found. a. new.reason. for. getting. up. each.morning. and. a. new. focus. for.my.energy,.for.my.finances.and.for.my.life.experiences..But.what.does.that.life.look.like?
LIFE.IN.UGANDAEven. though.Uganda. is.a. third.world.country,.my.life.here.has.not.been. a. difficult. transition.. There.are.many.modern.conveniences.available. because. I. live. just.outside. the. capital,. Kampala..Seguku. is. a. suburb. of. Kampala.and. has. electricity. and. water.available.. Just. a. few. months.
ago.we.were.able.to.finalize.the.pumping. system. that.brings.city.water.to.our.facilities.due.to.the.generosity. of. a. group. of. visitors.to.our.area..We.are.at.4,000.feet.elevation.and. the.water. source.that. we. tapped. into. was. at. a.much. lower. altitude.. It. required.many. feet.of.piping.and.a.very.strong.pump.to. force.the.water.up.the.hill..Prior.to.this.city.water.supply,. we. were. dependent.upon. rainwater. collection. and.when. that.was. inadequate,.we.had. to. have.water. brought. up.the.hill.by.truck,.which.was.very.costly.Uganda. generates. electricity.via.dams.in.the.Nile.River,.but.our.
power.is.sporadic..We.all.believe.it.is.because.the.sale.of.electricity.to.other.neighboring.countries.is.a. big. source. of. income. for. the.government.and.so.they.give.us.rolling.power.or.black.outs.Certain.foods.are.difficult.to.get.here. but. the. selection. of. foods.is. getting. better. every. week..Chocolate,. cheese. and. snack.foods. are. the. most. frequently.requested. items. to. be. brought.over. by. visitors.. I. have. been.amazed.that.the.fresh.vegetables.are. not. in. abundance.. Fresh.fruit. is. plentiful.. Pineapples. and.the. little. sweet.bananas.are.my.favorites.The. weather. here. is. the.
most. ideal. that. I. have. ever.experienced.. The. temperature.ranges. from.the.mid.60’s. to. the.high. 80’s. year. round.. There. are.two.rainy.seasons.and.frequently.those. rains. occur. during. the.night.. Here. lately. they. have.been. in. the. late.afternoon.and.make. the. roads. very. slippery.and.slimy.since.there. is. red.clay.everywhere.Because. I. am. a. single.

By.NOKP.StaffThough. our. senior. years. are.supposed. to. be. golden,. many.folks,. says.Pastor.Wesley. Joyner,.a.not. smiling.. “Many. folks. in.my.age. group. are. not. receiving.the. benefits. to. which. they. are.entitled.. Their. lives. are. harder.than. they. should. be,. and. they.are. making. choices. –. doing.without.things.–.that.they.should.not.have.to.”Wes’.goal. is. simple:.“Once.we.have.met,. I. want. you. to. leave.with.a.smile.on.your.face.”Learning.What.You.Don’t.Know.You.Don’t.KnowMany. times,. Pastor. Wes.admits,. the.most. daunting. issue.facing. seniors. is. a. simple. lack.of. knowledge.. “Many. seniors,.myself. included.at. times,. simply.do. not. know. –. or. do. not. know.enough. –. about. the. number,.type.and.extent. of. the.benefits.available.to.them..And.the.worst.part.is,.you.don’t.know.what.you.don’t.know..How.could.you?”Pastor.Wes.and.some.likeminded.colleagues. founded. Road. to.Damascus. Ministries:. Senior.Educational. Services. to.address.that.very. issue..“Folks.should.not.
miss. out. on. the. quality. of. life.they.want. to.enjoy. –.physically,.emotionally,. financially. and.spiritually. –. just. because. they.don’t. have. the. knowledge. or.understanding.they.need.”“We.are.here. to.educate.and.inspire,. to. provide. senior. adults.with.a.better.quality.of.life..If.we.can. help. you,. even. in. a. small.way,.we.will.”The. ministry’s. website. (www..rtdm.org).puts.it.this.way:“A.person.has.enough. to.deal.with. as. they. age.. Getting. the.help. you. need. should. not. just.be.one.more.endless.headache.or. needless. heartache..Unfortunately,. needed.information.is.not.always.easily.or.readily.available..That.is.why.we.are.here.–. to.help.connect.you.with.the.resources.for.which.you.qualify.”
Getting.Answers“First. and. foremost,. we. help.people.get.answers.to.questions.they. may. not. even. know. to.ask.. Then. we. fully. explain. the.alternatives. they. may. have. so.that.they.can.make.a.confident.decision.. We. don’t. want. to. be.one.more. roadblock.–.we.work.hard.to.be.a.solution,.no.matter.what.the.problem.is.”But.Road.to.Damascus.Ministries.is. not. simply. about. senior.advocacy.. In. striving. to. keep.
people. fully. informed. about.the. senior. resources. and. senior.benefits. that. matter. to. them,.RTDM. focuses. on. working. with.individuals..“We. count. it. a. tremendous.privilege. to. sit.down.and. speak.with. you,. one-on-one,. to. assess.your. personal. situation. and.determine. the. local,. state. and.national. benefits. for. which. you.qualify..We.can.visit.you.at.your.private. home. or. assisted. living.
RTDM Helps Seniors How They Can Help“The.ways.in.which.we.can.help,”.says.Pastor.Joyner,.“are.always.growing,.always.expanding.”.Common.issues.RTDM.routinely.help.seniors.with.include,.but.are.not.limited.to:.debt.elimination,.mortgage.help.and.other.financial.issues,.Medicare. &.Medicaid,. prescription. drugs,.meal. delivery,.dental. needs,. durable. medical. equipment,. health. questions.(mental. and. physical). and. certain. legal. issues.. They. also. have.coupon.programs.to.help.seniors.save.money.on.food.and.other.necessities.How.and. to.what. extent. they. can. help,. Pastor. Joyner. stresses,.depends.entirely.on.what.the. individual. in.question.qualifies. for..“There.are.no.one-size-fits-all.plans.that.will.work.best.for.everyone..That’s. why. we. seek. to. educate. and. inspire,. person-to-person,.one-to-one.”To. learn. more. about.

white. woman,. the. missionary.organization.has.allowed.me.to.live.in.their.guesthouse.for.my.first.year..It.is.primarily.used.for.short-term. mission. teams. and. visitors.that.wish. to. see.our. facilities..At.the.guesthouse,.we.have.a.live-in.cook.and.helper.as.well.as.a.grounds.keeper..There.is.a.guest.van. for. transporting. teams. and.visitors.to.various.sites.where.our.missions.are. located..

By.Adam.Porter,.EIC.NOKPI’m. always. on. the. lookout.for. something. that. I. believe.can. benefit. folks. I. care.about.. So. when. I. saw. the.sign,.I.was.intrigued.–.but.still.a. little. skeptical.. After. all,. it.was.only.one.of.those.yellow.rectangles. you. see. stuck. in.the. ground. at. intersections..But. it. wasn’t. appearance.that. caught. my. interest. –. it.was.the.message:CASH.for.Diabetic.Test.StripsSealed,.unopened.boxes
Call.Mike1.888.780.6375
I’m. not. diabetic,. but. I. was.curious..Why.would.someone.sell.their.unused.diabetic.test.strips?.And.how.could. there.possibly. be. enough. out.there. for. someone. to. make.a.business.out.of.the.idea?Eventually,.my.curiosity.got.the. better. of.me,. so. I. did. a.little. digging.. It. turned. out.that.the.“Mike”.from.the.sign.was. Michael. Whitehead..Mike. is. a. friend. of. a. friend..Not. surprising. in. a. “little. big.town”. like.Brandon..We.had.even.met.a.time.or.two,.and.chatted. once. over. a. cup.of. coffee.. I’d. found.Mike. to.be. likeable. and. trustworthy,.a. problem. solver. and. a.brilliant. idea.guy.. No. longer.skeptical,. I. was. still. full. of.questions.
Here’s.what.I.learned:Mike. had. discovered.that. many. diabetics. found.themselves. left. with. surplus.test. strips. at. the. end. of. the.month..They.could.not.return.them,. even. the. unopened.boxes,. so. most. folks. just.tossed.them.out..What.other.choice.did.they.have?Mike. understood. why. it.was. happening,. but. he. just.couldn’t. shake. the. image.
of. countless. other. folks. out.there. on. limited. incomes,.without. health. insurance,.unable.to.afford.the.supplied.they. needed.. And. this. was.happening. while. the. folks.with.extra.test.strips.–.and.no.way. to. reach. out. to. those.in. need. –. were. left. with. no.options.but.the.trash.bin..This.was,.Mike.thought,.a.terrible.waste. of. valuable. medical.resources.. So,. he. decided.to.do.something.about.it..He.made. it.his.goal. to.devise.a.way.to.connect.the.perfectly.good. unopened. and.unused.test.strips.with.needy.diabetics. –. all. while. giving.the.folks.with.the.surplus.strips.a.cash.incentive.to.help.him.help.others..It. took. some. work,. but.Mike.was.able.to.find.a.way.to. make. the. pieces. all. fit,.and,. subsequently,. founded.Test4Less,.LLC..This.company.will. PAY. CASH. for. unused,.unopened.boxes.of.test.strips..The. supplies. are. then.made.available. to. organizations.who. then. provide. the. strips.to. diabetics. who. otherwise.could. not. afford. them..Demand. for. this. service.was.understandably. huge,. and.now. Test4Less. operates. in.numerous. cities. throughout.the.Southeast.United.States..So,. in. the. end,. I. learned.that. the. simple. promise. on.the.sign.was.absolutely.true..People. who. have. unused.test. strips. can. sell. them. for.extra.cash.. Folks. in.need.no.longer.have.to.go.without.To. learn. more. about. this.program,.call.1.888.780.6375..And,. if. you. know. someone.with. diabetes,. make. sure.they. read. this. article.. It’s. a.simple. way. to. make. their.day.

we.got.home.Occasionally,. we. get. visitors.from. the. States.. I. had. the.opportunity.to.travel.with.a.team.from. Inverness,. FL.. . They. were.awesome.and. I. look. forward. to.visiting.them.when.I.am.in.FL...We.went. to. three. orphanages. and.I.got. to.see. them. in.action.with.stories,. games,. invitations,. etc...Then. there. was. the. pizza. party.under.a.grass.shack.in.Kampala.and,.of.course,.souvenir.shopping.in.the.craft.market..And. the. opportunities. for.outreach. extend. beyond. the.typical. day-to-day. caregiving.. I.was.very.blessed.to.go.to.a.prison.on. a. dental. outreach. with. our.visiting. tooth-extracting. dentist...The. prison. that. we. visited. was.a. long-term. facility. and. some.of. the.men. had. been. suffering.with. toothaches. for. months...One.young.man.had.four.teeth.broken.off.and.roots.exposed.in.all. four. quadrants. of. his.mouth...He. was. in. such. pain. that. even.though.we.had.closed.up.for.the.day,. we. got. all. the. instruments.out.again.and.helped.him....He.was. in. tears. because. he. was.getting. relief.. . Every. man. was.so.thankful.and.we.prayed.with.each. one.. . The. team. went. to.that.prison.four.days.and.helped.about.80.men.Some.of.our. favorite. times.are.when. guests. fill. our. guesthouse.and. missionary. houses.. During.one. of. these. times,. we. were.hosting. a. pastors’. conference..Together,. we. produced. a.
Vacation. Bible. School. for.children. ages. 4. to. 12.. I. was. a.group. leader,. which. meant.that.I.had.about.15.little.ones.to.hand. out. candy. and. do. crafts.with.. This. may. sound. daunting,.but,. because. everything. was.prepared. before. hand,. it. was.very.easy.On. another. exciting. visit,. a.team.hosted.a.carnival.in.one.of.the. local.churches..About.1,000.kids.showed.up.for.face.painting,.beach. ball. in. the. parachute,.soccer. goal. shots. and. fishing.. I.assisted. with. the. face. painting.and.had.a.great.time...When.the.kids.left,.they.were.given.a.sack.lunch.of.an.apple,.a. sandwich,.a. juice. box. and. cookie.. . There.were.lots.of.candies.and.stickers.handed.out,.too..It.is.so.rewarding.to. be. a. part. of. something. that.these. kids. would. not. otherwise.be.able.to.experience..There.is.still.some.unrest.in.Uganda.that. erupts. in. demonstrations.from.time.to.time.in.Kampala.. It.is.nothing. too.serious,.as. far.as. I.can. tell.. We. just. don’t. go. into.town.on.those.days.that.we.hear.about.demonstrations.
THE.WORK.GOES.ONConstruction. on. new. sections.of. our. Baby.

The. children. are.almost.all.at.that.toddler.climbing.stage.so.they.are.having.a.ball..All. of. the. equipment. is. made.of. that. heavy. plastic. and. will.hold. up. well. when. we.move. it.outside..

Do you suffer from GERD?
206 Second Street East, Bradenton, FL 34208941-746-5111www.manateememorial.com
Manatee Memorial Hospital is the first in Manatee County to offer EsophyX™, a new surgical choice for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or heartburn, without making any incisions in the patient’s body.
How Does It Work?
The EsophyX device is inserted into the body through the patient’s mouth, using a standard endoscope, not through an incision. That means patients have no external skin incisions, no internal cutting, fewer adverse effects or complications and quicker recovery times.
Studies show an 80 percent improvement in quality of life and the reduction or elimination of heartburn symptoms among patients who have had the procedure.
Gary M. Bunch, MD, Bradenton Surgical Group, and Jose Erbella, MD, Tampa Bay Surgical Group, both surgeons at Manatee Memorial Hospital use the EsophyX system to perform incisionless procedures to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or heartburn.
For more information, call (941) 745-7204.
The EsophyX system, from EndoGastric Solutions, allows doctors to restore the natural valve that stops acid from causing heartburn.

Dear.Anne,“My. roses. are. not. looking. so.good. right. now.. Can. I. prune.them?. What. about. my. hibiscus.bushes?”Anneswer:Pruning. roses. now,. in. the. fall,.will. give. you.a.crop.of.beautiful.flowers.this.late.fall.and.winter!Follow.these.tips:1.. In. the. fall. we. prune. roses.less. severely. than. in. the. spring..The.overall.all. rule.of.thumb.is.to.remove.1/3.of.their.height.2.. First. remove. any. dead. or.diseased. canes,. cut. them.back.to.healthy.green.growth..This.may.be. more. than. 1/3.. . Sometimes.several. entire. canes. must. be.removed.. This. is. fine. because.new. growth. will. start. sprouting,.and. that’s. why. we. prune!. New.growth.means.new.flowers...Next.remove. any. branches. that. are.smaller.than.a.pencil‘s.diameter,.Cut. them.back. to. their. point. of.origin.from.the.main.canes.
3..Next. start.cutting.back.main.canes.or.branches.to.24-30.inches.long.. Cut. just. above. an. out-facing.bud,.so.new.growth.grows.away,. not. toward. the.center. of.plant..Do.not. leave.stubs,.cut.¼.inch.above.a.bud..Do.not.cut.too.close.either.or.you.will.kill.the.bud..This. is.not.as.difficult.as. it. sounds.once.you.are.looking.at.the.plant..Also. if. any. canes. are. coming.from. below. the. graft. point. on.hybrid. tea. roses,. remove. them..This.will.not.apply.to.non-grafted.floribundas,. such. as. Knock-Out.roses. which. are. grown. on. their.own.roots,.and.not.grafted.onto.another.root-stock.rose.4..On.the.subject.of.Knock-Out.or.other.non-grated.roses,. if.your.time. and. patience. is. in. short.supply,. it. is. O.K.. to. just. trim. the.top.growth. off. by. 1/3. to.½.with.your. VERY. SHARP. hand. clippers.or.hedge.shears..Knock-Outs.are.less. fussy. than. hybrid. teas,. and.more.forgiving..Do.take.the.time.though,. to. remove. diseased.branches. after. you. top. prune.them.. Be. sure. to.pick. up.all. the.trimmings. and. clean. up. dead.leaves.which.can.harbor. fungus.and.insects.5.. Now. is. the. time. to. apply. a.good. quality. rose. fertilizer,. or.any.balanced.shrub.fertilizer.with.minor. elements.. DO. NOT. use.turf. fertilizer.. Even. palm. or. citrus.is. better. than. nothing.. I. always.recommend. the. time-release.pellets,. 13-13-13. ninety. day. with.minors..This.is.the.best.If. you. can,. it. is. always. a. good.
idea. to. apply. a. combination.fungicidal/. insecticide. spray..Use.a.product.with.Chlorophanil.(Daconil). or. Dithane/Copper.mix.. I. recommend.something.for.spider.mites,.Malation.or.Soap.or.just.use.a.combination.rose.spray.product..
Your.effort.now.will. reward.you.with.an.abundance.of.flowers.this.fall.and.winter.season!Buy.the.way,.hibiscus.should.only.be.tipped.this.time.of.year..It.is.too.close.to.the.cool.season.to.prune.them.too.hard..Just.a.little.off.the.top.if.you.please!.

.An.Invitation.To.Beth.Israel.Recently. Fred. Levine,. a. member. of. our. Temple,. gave. a.D’var. Torah,.

Rabbi..While. the. other. coals. continued.burning.and.warming.the.room,.the.single.coal.slowly.lost.its.glow.until.it.became.completely.extinguished.and.cold..“You.see.what.happens.to.a.hot.and.glowing.coal.when.separated.from. the.others”.said. the.Rabbi.“This. is. the. reason.why.you.should. not. separate. yourself. from. the. congregation.. You.should.come.back.to.Temple.and.continue.praying.together.with. everyone.. When. we. pray. together. everyone. benefits.from.the.others..But,.when.one.is.alone,.like.the.single.coal,.they.will.eventually.become.extinguished.and.cold”..The.next.Shabbat.the.man.was.back..Hillel. teaches. us,.

Book Review
By Larry CoxCocktail.WatchQ:. I. have. an. Ernest. Borel.wristwatch. with. a. spiral.design. movement.. It. is.from.the.1940s.or.earlier.. Is.it.worth.anything.as. far. as.selling. it. is. concerned?. --.Ellen,.Sun.City,.Ariz.A:. The.Ernest.Borel.watch.company. was. founded.in. 1859.. Some. of. the.more. interesting. watches.manufactured. by. Borel.were. the. work. of. Adamir.Debrot,. a. designer. who.was. responsible. for. many.of. its. innovative. technical.solutions. and. original.time. pieces. throughout.the. 1940s,. ‘50s. and. ‘60s..I. suspect. that. the. watch.you.have.is.one.of.Debrot’s.designs.. I. also. think. the.watch.you.have.is.what.was.marketed. as. a. “Cocktail.Watch,”.which. featured. a.kaleidoscope.dial.That. particular. dial.featured. five. different.patterns,. namely. flower,.sun,. arrows,. star. and.wheel.. The. “Cocktail”.was.launched.in.1953.and.soon.became. one. of. the. most.popular. designs. marketed.by. the. Ernest. Borel.company.. As. with. most.collections,. the. value.of. a.vintage.watch.depends.on.three. major. factors:. rarity,.condition.and.desirability..I.contacted. several. dealers.who. specialize. in. vintage.watches,. and. they. seem.to. agree. that. your. watch.would. retail. in. the. $150. to.$350.range.
Player.Piano.Roll.CabinetQ:. I. have. a. player. piano.roll. cabinet. that. has.been.in.my.family.home.for.more.than. half. a. century.. How.much. do. you. think. it’s.worth?. --.Martha,.Ephrata,.Pa.A:. Your. question. is. much.like. asking. how. much. a.car. is. worth.. If. it. is. a. 1985.Yugo,. not. so. much.. On.the. other. hand,. if. it. is. a.1934. Packard. Roadster,.break.out.the.champagne.and. celebrate. your. good.fortune.. Incidentally,. the.running. joke. about. the.Yugo. went. something. like.this:. Why. does. a. Yugo.have. a. defroster. on. the.rear.window?.To.keep.your.hands. warm. while. you.push.it.Getting. back. to. your.question,. what. is. the.condition.of.your.cabinet?.Is. it. made. of. cherry,. oak.or. mahogany?. What. is. its.size,. and. does. it. have. an.interesting. design?. Most.player. piano. cabinets.seem. to. sell. in. the. $75. to.$150.range.
