The 4th Annual Wings & Wheels event,

Gerry’s Food Pantry (monetary donations
preferred) and includes scheduled
entertainment such as a mountain bike
stunt show by 12X National Champion Mike
Steidley, the Lil’ Iguana Interactive Musical
Show, Car, Motorcycle and Aircraft displays,
and a chicken wing eating contest. The EAA
Young Eagles program will offer free plane
rides for kids ages 8-17.
For a reasonable fee, the public can enjoy
plane and helicopter rides, food concessions,
crafts, games and raffles, outdoor laser tag
and a dunk tank.
Torey Kortz, Executive Director of
the SHARE Fund states, “There really is
something for everyone at this event and we
expect this to be our biggest and best year
yet.” Sponsors for this year’s event include

Health trumps wealth in importance to retirees' well-being
Retirees feel more financially secure when they're in good
health according to new research. And when they feel financially
secure, retirees also report they're enjoying retirement more, they
feel fulfilled and are less likely to experience negative emotions.
The study, Health, Wealth and Happiness in Retirement (www.
massmutual.com/healthwealth) is part of a larger research project
conducted on behalf of MassMutual by Greenwald & Associates. The
research split 905 retirees with at least $50,000 in assets into two
subgroups: those who characterized their health as excellent or very
good and those who characterized their health as good or poor.
"The message for both retirees and pre-retirees is that health has
a major impact on satisfaction with life in retirement," says Elaine
Sarsynski, executive vice president of MassMutual Retirement
Services. "We need to focus on our health as much as possible so we
can enjoy life to the fullest extent in our later years. While none of us
can predict how healthy we will be in the future, we can help influence

the outcome by making lifestyle choices that promote good health."
Seven out of 10 retirees in better health say they feel financially secure
compared to 51 percent of retirees in poorer health, the study found.
Retirees in poorer health were twice as likely to feel anxious about
their finances and lack a sense of purpose, and three times more likely
to feel lonely, the research found. Also, four in 10 retirees overall say
they spend more on health care than they expected before retiring,
with 43 percent spending more than $5,000 annually and 14 percent
spending more than $10,000.
If you're in retirement, or looking forward to retirement,
maintaining a healthy lifestyle should be a goal to help you
better enjoy your retirement years. An earlier study conducted
by MassMutual and Greenwald & Associates, Hopes, Fears and
Reality - What Workers Expect in Retirement and What Steps Help
Them Achieve the Retirement They Want (www.massmutual.com/
retire), found that nearly half of all retirees retired sooner than they
anticipated. This may mean that they are retiring at a younger age,
and looking forward to enjoying their retirement years as much as
possible.
Studies show that good health allows retirees to get out and
enjoy life. Playing golf or tennis, spending the afternoon on a boat, or
meeting with friends and family for lunch or dinner are all enjoyable
activities retirees may have time to do. However, when a person falls
ill, they may not be able to get out and enjoy the retired life as much
as someone who is healthy. "Our study focused on people in the
first 15 years of retirement," says Mathew Greenwald, president of
Greenwald & Associates. "In many cases, serious medical issues arise
after that, in older age. But even in the healthiest part of retirement,
better health clearly has an impact on most people's ability to fully
enjoy retirement. Many of these issues will only be exacerbated
for retirees as they age, which puts an exclamation point on the
importance of wellness." (BPT)

Northern Rail Trail named 'Best NH Bike Trail'
In its May/June 2015 issue, in time
for the summer travel season, Yankee
magazine has laid out its 2015 Travel
Guide to New England. Its editors' top
picks include the Northern Rail Trail as
Best NH Bike Trail. “Kudos to this 50+mile stretch: It’s been added to ‘100
Top Trails in the U.S.’ by Rails-to-Trails
Conservancy in Washington, D.C. The
longest rail trail in the state…it glides
past farms, orchards, lakes, mill sites and
covered bridges…”
The Merrimack County portion of the
Trail was completed last fall and is in
prime condition for this summer’s biking
and hiking. It starts just north of the
Concord city line in Boscawen where
it can be accessed by parking at the
Hannah Dustin Park and Ride just off exit
17 on Route 93.
From there the trail heads northwest
35 miles to the Danbury/Grafton line
where the Grafton County part of the
trail begins.
As the old Northern Railroad
followed the path of least resistance
along waterways, the Northern Rail
Trail provides views of the Merrimack
in Boscawen, waterfalls and Webster
Lake in Franklin, Highland Lake and the
Blackwater River in Andover, Frazier
Brook in Wilmot and Eagle Pond in
Danbury. In Grafton County the Trail
skirts the Mascoma River and Lake
Mascoma before it enters downtown
Lebanon.
“We’re thrilled that the Trail has
received this recognition from Yankee
magazine—and we couldn’t agree more
with their designation!” said Craig Heim,
Wilmot resident and member of the
Board of Directors of the Friends of the
Northern Rail Trail in Merrimack County.
The Northern Rail Trail is open to all
non-motorized users, free of charge. It
has two Welcome Centers, the Highland
Lake Inn in East Andover, and the
Danbury Country Store in Danbury.

NH Liquor Commission supports NH Food Bank
The New Hampshire Liquor
Commission (NHLC), Bacardi USA and
Horizon Beverage Company teamed
up earlier this year on a campaign
that raised $10,000 for the New
Hampshire Food Bank. In this year’s
“750s for Change” campaign, Bacardi
USA donated $1 to the NH Food Bank
for every Bacardi USA 750ml bottle
purchased at any of the state’s 78 NH
Liquor & Wine Outlets throughout
February and March. The NH Food
Bank, the only food bank in the state,
strives to provide nutritious food and
resources to the more than 143,200
New Hampshire residents who are food
insecure, meaning they do not know where
their next meal is coming from.
“In raising $10,000 for the NH Food
Bank this year, NHLC is extremely proud
that the 750s for Change campaign
continues to make a positive impact on
New Hampshire’s nonprofit community,”
said NHLC Chairman Joseph W. Mollica.
“Last year, the 750s for Change campaign
generated $10,000 in critical funds for
the Wildlife Heritage Foundation of New
Hampshire. It was our pleasure to once
again partner with Bacardi USA to support
the NH Food Bank’s efforts to provide
nutritious meals and resources to people
in need. Along with NHLC’s primary
focus of delivering record revenues to the
New Hampshire General Fund, we are
always proud to support New Hampshire’s
nonprofit community.”
Relying on its statewide footprint of
78 NH Liquor & Wine Outlets, NHLC has
made it a point to work with its partner
businesses to lend vital support to New
Hampshire nonprofit organizations.
Along with the NH Food Bank, NHLC has
teamed with the Animal Rescue League
of New Hampshire, MooreMart, Easter
Seals New Hampshire, Toys for Tots, and
the Wildlife Heritage Foundation of New
Hampshire on campaigns raising more
than $427,000 during the last two years-

“Bacardi USA proudly supports the
NH Food Bank and its extraordinary
efforts to help the thousands of people
in New Hampshire who do not know
where their next meal is coming from,”
said Kristen Haubrich of Bacardi USA,
which has previously partnered with
the NH Food Bank for its “Cocktails
for Charity” program, as well as its
“Best of NH Cock-tail Contest.”
The NH Food Bank, a program
of Catholic Charities NH, supplies
millions of pounds of food annually
to more than 400 partner agencies.
During 2014, the NH Food Bank reached
a record food distribution of 11 million
pounds, which is equivalent to 9,166,666
meals; a nearly 30% increase compared to
2013.
“We are extremely grateful to NHLC
and Bacardi USA for their support at a
time when the need is only growing,” said
Mel Gosselin, Executive Director of the NH
Food Bank. “More than 143,200 people
in New Hampshire are food insecure—
including more than 42,170 children. This
year, the Food Bank is aiming to increase
its distribution by 10% to 12 million
pounds of food to meet the growing
demand here in New Hampshire.”

and while it's a chance to relax and
relish in your deserved time off, it's
still important to keep track of your
finances, savings and budget. With that
in mind, here are five ways you can
maintain a healthy budget and enjoy
your dream retirement.
Understand your expenses.
Your life as a retiree is different now
than it was during your employed
years. Gone are the day-to-day working
responsibilities; and here to stay is
more free-time to explore hobbies and
spend with friends and family. To learn
how much money you'll need for your new
lifestyle, it's a good idea to create a budget.
Record all expenditures month-to-month,
and assess where to add on or cut back.
Make note of large expenses (trips or big
purchases), but don't disregard them as oneoffs. It's often a good idea to anticipate and
save for the next big purchase.
Discover cost-cutting options.
Whether in your home or out and about,
it's important to stay connected. However,
standard cellphone plans can be expensive
and often cause you to pay for services you'll
never use. TracFone offers a more costeffective alternative by offering you reliable
service on the nation's largest and most
dependable network without any contracts
or hidden fees. And, for retirees who are
on-the-go, TracFone's StaySafe No-Contract
Mobile Bonus pack can ensure you're
keeping the lines of communication open
and that assistance - if you should need it is just a call away. Sold at Kroger, the plan
includes a TracFone Big Easy Flip phone
that makes dialing easy, 800 minutes, a
year of service, a hands-free headset and a
car and wall charger, and costs only $79.99
vs. a retail value of $149.99. To learn more
about the cost-saving options available from
TracFone, including the StaySafe bundle
pack, visit www.TFStaySafe.com.
Stay healthy. Medical bills can get
expensive very quickly, so maintaining
good health is essential to managing your
budget. Take a cooking class, join a gym or
make positive changes to your diet.
Anything you do to protect your good
health will pay dividends in the years
ahead.
Practice moderation.
Budgeting can feel constraining, but
you don't want to deny yourself the
simple luxuries in your retirement.
There's no need to tighten the belt,
but everyone can benefit from
moderation. Instead of taking trips
every year, plan for every other year. If
eating out is your ideal treat, cut back
to once a week as opposed to multiple
nights out. Exercising moderation
will help you manage your money and make
those moments when you do indulge even
more savory.
Control your debt. Don't throw your
years of hard work away by falling into the
trap of debt. Keeping credit card use to a
minimum is one way to protect against debt,
and if you do have outstanding debt, allocate
excess money to pay down debts with the
highest interest rate first. Then, move on to
the second-highest interest rate. This will
reduce your overall debt more quickly.
By understanding your budget and
planning accordingly, you'll make the most
of your retirement and establish financial
security for the months and years ahead.

Concerned Veterans for America announced its 'Thank A Vet' program
The New Hampshire chapter of
Concerned Veterans for America
announced its continuing effort to thank
veterans of New Hampshire through its
“Thank A Vet” summer event series, on
the heels of its successful 2014 events held
in Londonderry and Holderness.
Last year’s events included program
support from state Sen. Jeanie Forester,
state Rep. Al Baldasaro, combat veteran
of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars Amber
Barno, National Gold Star Mothers Karen
Vaughn and Natalie Healy.
The “Thank A Vet” event series
is designed to give thanks to New
Hampshire’s military heroes and their
families while discussing the pressing
issues facing veterans every day.
Mayor Ken Merrifield was on hand
at the May 17 showing of the film to talk
about the great things Franklin is doing
to recognize veterans by discussing an
ongoing Civil War restoration project.
His presence kicked off the “Thank
A Vet” summer series for CVA NH at
Tilton’s Smitty’s Cinema, where more
than 50 area veterans were in attendance
to bring the message of hope and support
to each other, discussing issues ranging
from the waitlist scandal in the VA health
care system to memories of fallen fellow
soldiers.
“Mayor Merrifield was enthusiastic

from the outset to be a part of the project.
We appreciate his time and commitment
to Franklin’s veterans of all eras,” said
Roger S. Wilkins, state director for CVA.
“Defending freedom and prosperity has
a high price, and we welcome the chance
to give something back to the veterans’

Lake Sunapee Bank honored
for supporting the arts
On May 11, 2015, the Annual Awards
Banquet for the Business in the Arts was
held in Manchester.
With roughly 325 business and arts
leaders in attendance, Lake Sunapee
Bank was honored to be a winner of The
Business in the Arts Award for 2015, along
with three other businesses from the state
of New Hampshire. The New Hampshire
Business Committee for the Arts presents
the awards annually to recognize and honor
outstanding business support of the arts.
Lake Sunapee Bank was cited for
its wide support of many organizations
including Nashua Art Walk, Center for
the Arts, and League of NH Craftsman, as
well as employee board involvement with
Symphony NH, and Newport Opera House,
just to name a few. Of note in 2014, Lake
Sunapee Bank’s Main Street, New London
office was transformed into a micro gallery
to host exhibits during business hours
for the Center for the Arts. This gallery
showcases works of art by local artists and
changes over time.
Pictured are Kaitlyn Covel, Manager of our
Main Street New London branch, who was
instrumental in that branch becoming a
micro gallery for the Center for the Arts, and
President and CEO Stephen R. Theroux.

Theatre serves Seniors from the Papoutsy Arts Ventures Fund Pontine Theatre has received a
$2,500 grant from the The Papoutsy Arts
Ventures Fund of the New Hampshire
Charitable Foundation to tour scenes
from its original production, New
England Utopia, to four assisted and
independent living facilities for seniors
located on the Seacoast. Performances
will take place in May and June 2015. Seniors are the fastest growing
segment of the New England population
– they are also the most avid attendees
of live performances – yet many are no
longer able to travel, or have limited
access to live performances. By bringing
the production to them, Pontine
addresses an important, though often
overlooked constituency.
Pontine Theatre specializes in creating
original plays based on the history and
literature of New England. Several
years ago the company created New
England Utopia which explores the 19th
century New England Transcendentalist
Movement founded by Ralph Waldo
Emerson, Henry David Thoreau and
Bronson Alcott (father of Louisa May).
Pontine’s play particularly looked at
three communities established by these
uniquely American philosophers: the
movement that grew up around Emerson
in Concord MA, Brook Farm in West
Roxbury MA, and Fruitlands in Harvard
MA.
Programs related to New England
subjects are of deep interest to Seacoast
audiences. They engage both intellect and
memory, leading to lively, stimulating
discussions. They also have a deeper
therapeutic value. Many seniors who
reside at nursing homes and assisted
living communities have lost family,
friends and homes. They often battle
depression and feelings of isolation. Arts
programs help to keep seniors connected
to the larger world around them by
stimulating curiosity, bringing them
together in positive and engaging activity,

and reminding them of the value of their
own heritage.
Cost is a serious challenge for most
of the factilities which serve the needs of
our senior citizens. Without assistance
many would be unable to afford cultural
programs for their clients. Support from
the Papoutsy Arts Ventures Fund of the
New Hampshire Charitable Foundation
funds Pontine’s performances in Dover
and Newmarket NH and in York ME. Pontine’s programs are also supported
by grants from the New Hampshire State

Humanist & Agnostic
Discussion Group
Thursday, July 16 1:30pm
The word “atheist” has negative
connotations – being against
something. But many “atheists” are
not against the idea of God, but rather
FOR a reasoned and logical search
for spiritual meaning in life. They
want to start at the beginning, with
no preconceptions about religion
or deities, and ask what if anything
makes spiritual sense. Often these
agnostics feel very lonely. Everyone
else seems to have all their spiritual
ducks in a row; they know exactly
what they believe to be the “truth.”
The agnostics are made to feel “out
of it.” All they can do is quote Sportn’
Life in Gershwin’s “Porgy and Bess”
when he famously sang, “It Ain’t
Necessarily So.” People who say
that it ain’t necessarily so are often
challenged with “Why can’t you be
like everyone else? You’re just an
anti-social trouble-maker.” This is the
group for anti-social trouble-makers.
We seek people who want to ask the
difficult questions about religion and
spirituality. Why do humans, alone
in the world as a species, seek divine
governance? Where does this come
from and what kind of gods did we
create in response to this need? How
is it that people believe what they do?
Is there anything worth believing in,
or is it all nonsense? In order to feel
comfortable in this group one needs to
agree to two premises. First, the world
is as we detect it through our senses.
Second, truth emerges through the use
of the scientific method. We take hard
data and massage it through reasoned
logic to approach the truth, which
we will never really know for sure.
Come discuss your ideas of religion
and spirituality. Bring your questions
and be prepared to change your mind.
Please call COA at 526-6368 to sign up.
Meditation Class
Saturday, July 18 and August 1
10:00am
Meditation is a process of transforming
the mind. It enhances clarity,
concentration, relaxation and positive
mind states while alleviating stress,
anxiety, depression and other medical
conditions. This is done by focusing
the mind, staying present and being
aware of thoughts. We will be sitting
in chairs and will be doing some silent/
guided meditation sessions along with
contemplations. No prior meditation
experience is necessary. These ongoing classes will meet every other
Saturday and will be guided by Ilene
Venizelos. For questions or to register,
please call COA at 526-6368.
Zentangle for Beginners
with Deborah Coffin
Tuesday, July 21 9:00-11:00am
Zentangles are miniature pieces of
unplanned, abstract, black and white
art created through a very specific
method from a collection of simple,
structured patterns called tangles.
Zentangles are not only beautiful,
they are fun and relaxing to create.
The process of creating a Zentangle
is a form of artistic meditation as
one becomes completely engrossed
in making each pattern, deliberately
focusing on one stroke at a time.
The creativity options and pattern
combinations are boundless. Anyone
can do it and Deborah will guide
you through the entire process! All
materials will be supplied. Please call
COA at 526-6368 to register.

Wyman Tavern Festival in Keene on Sat. June 20
“Welcome to the eighteenth century,”
says Cornelia Jenness to visitors as they
enter the grounds of the Wyman Tavern
Festival. Jenness, a former board president
of the Historical Society of Cheshire
County, has attended every Wyman Tavern
Festival since the first one in 2012, which
commemorated the 250th year since the
tavern was built in 1762. Jenness dresses in
period clothes for the festival as do many of
the volunteers.
“It’s the neatest thing,” says Jenness
about the festival, which is scheduled this
year for Saturday, June 20th from 10 am
to 4 pm. “It gives you a feeling of going
back in time. It makes you understand
what things were like back then, and it
gives you a perspective of how things
have changed. I love to see people at
the festival doing activities and learning
things.” she says.
The Wyman Tavern Festival is a
family-friendly event. Kids can card wool,
churn butter, make corn husk dolls,
and do cordage. They can learn about
eighteenth century “deportment” such as
how you would have greeted and addressed
someone in the 1700’s, and they can play
eighteenth century games.
The Hinsdale Garrison Company will
be camped on the grounds of the Tavern,
sharing their knowledge of family life in
the 1700’s through hearth cooking, sewing,
candle making, needle hitching, period
games, and care and maintenance of
muskets for protection and hunting.
Eighteenth century music is a big part
of the Wyman Tavern Festival, from fife
and drum music to period dance. Priscilla
Borden will call traditional dances in the
carriage shed with Sam and Sara Foucher
accompanying on fiddles. The Nelson
Shape Note Singers will perform their
distinctive harmonies from arrangements
written over 200 years ago, and Hunt and
Allison Smith will walk around the grounds
playing Revolutionary War era jigs and
reels.
A cooper, a milliner, a flint knapper, a
chair rusher, and woodworker will practice
their crafts. R.P. Hale from Penacook will
set up a replica of an eighteenth century
printing press and make original prints of
a drawing of the Wyman Tavern which will
be available for purchase. There will be live
sheep, spinning of wool, and weaving.
The Wyman Tavern’s famous rhubarb
coolers will be available, and the Keene
High Interact Club will be cooking
21st century lunches. A $5 donation is
suggested for the Wyman Tavern Festival
and the public is welcome. The Wyman
Tavern is located at 339 Main Street
in Keene, New Hampshire. For more
information, call the Historical Society of
Cheshire County at 603-352-1895.

Foods to eat to fire up your metabolism
(BPT) - When it comes to a fast
metabolism, some people seem to
have hit the genetic jackpot. Luckily,
your metabolism doesn't solely
depend on factors out of your control
such as genetics, age, or gender.
Modifying your exercise habits and
making wiser food choices are two
ways anyone can achieve a faster
metabolism and a smaller waistline.
Increased physical activity
affects the metabolism more than
anything else but before you opt
to take the stairs over the elevator
make sure you are fueling your body
with the energy it needs. A great
first step is to examine your diet and
understand which foods will give
you long-lasting energy to help you
move more during the day and burn more
calories.
"When making changes to your diet,
aim to eat an energy-revving complex
carbohydrate with a nutrient-rich protein,"
says personal trainers and registered
dietitians Lyssie Lakatos and Tammy
Lakatos Shames - "The Nutrition Twins".
"For example, we recommend pairing
oatmeal with a healthy protein like
Eggland's Best eggs. Compared to ordinary
eggs, EB eggs contain the same amount
of protein with only 60 calories, aiding
in fat loss; more nutrients like omega-3s,
contributing to satiety and weight loss; and
vitamin B12 which assists in producing
energy to power metabolism"
Here are some foods The Nutrition
Twins recommend to help boost your
metabolism:
Eggs
The satiating and blood sugar
stabilizing protein found in eggs helps keep
you full and extends the power
boost from carbohydrates like oats.
Chose Eggland's Best eggs over
ordinary eggs because they provide
three times more vitamin B12, a
nutrient that assists the body in
creating energy, as well as double
the omega-3s which stimulate
leptin, a hormone that increases
feelings of fullness.
Oats
The complex carbohydrates in
oats fuel your brain and your body.
Without them, your metabolism
will suffer because you'll have very
little energy to be active and burn
calories. Oats are also fiber-filled
which helps extend energy levels.
Berries
Berries, such as blackberries and
strawberries, taste great and contain the
phytochemical known as Cyanidin-3glucoside (C3G). Research shows C3G
aids in the production of both adiponectin,
which enhances fat metabolism, and leptin,
which suppresses appetite.

5 ways to boost your home's curb appeal
Spring and summer continue to be
the most popular months for selling your
home, according to Realtor.com. And
with many homeowners staying in their
houses for an average of 13 years, your
home will surely need some sprucing up
to add to its curb appeal. By following a
these simple steps, you can increase your
home's value without breaking the bank.
Rejuvenate the outdoor living area. Before
making a trip to your local home center,
make sure to wash the dirt, mildew and
general grime off the outside of your
house. A power washer is a great tool to
help clean siding and renew the surface
of decks. A good washing will also bring
out the true color of a beautiful flagstone
walkway or patio.
Invest in the best tools for the job. One
of the most useful tools in creating curb
appeal is a hose. From power washing
your deck and siding to maintaining your
lawn and garden, your hose takes more
abuse than any other tool. The Gilmour
Flexogen hose is perfect for a variety of
outdoor applications and is the strongest
hose in its class. Its durable eight-layer
construction is ideal for homeowners
who put their tools to the test season after
season.
Give your yard a manicure. When its
best features are hidden by an overgrown
lawn or shrubs, your home can appear
uninviting. It is recommended to
regularly mow grass to a length of two and
a half to three inches. This not only helps
the grass to grow, but it also provides for
a thicker lawn to prevent weeds. Adding
landscaping bricks around the border of
your garden and flowerbeds also gives
your lawn a more premium look.
Add seasonal color with the right
vegetation. When choosing plants and
flowers, consider what they will look like
during different times of the year. For
an all-season curb appeal, plant shrubs
and flowers that offer colorful fall foliage
or leaves with unique textures when not
in full bloom. To help you get the best
visual results, scout out the ideal locations
around your yard before planting. Be sure
to account for areas that are always in the
sun or are well-shaded.
Maintain the look. One of the key
steps to preserving a healthy lawn and
garden is to provide at least one inch
of water per week through a regular
watering schedule. You'll want to choose
a hose that has the durability to last even
after you've moved into your new home.
Gilmour Flexogen's patented construction
allows for all-weather performance
and delivers maximum functionality
in temperatures as low as 45 degrees
Fahrenheit. For additional watering and

Riding into the Future: Roy Roden's Message of Hope for Those with Parkinson's disease
(BPT) - Three years ago biking down
the block would not have been possible for
motivational speaker Roy Roden, one of the 1.5
million Americans who suffer from Parkinson's
disease. But recently he embarked on a journey
he calls the PD Challenge -- a bike ride from
British Colombia to San Francisco to raise
awareness of Parkinson's disease. His message
to others with Parkinson's is powerfully simple
- stay active, be your own advocate, keep a
positive attitude, and don't give up hope.
As a former personal trainer, Roden says
staying active is critical and credits exercise
with making him stronger both mentally and
physically. The benefits of physical activity are
well established in Parkinson's disease, and it's
no coincidence that Roden chose a cycling trek
for the PD Challenge.
"There was a time when I couldn't care for
myself, let alone engage in the activities I love,
and I'm determined to do something bigger
than myself," Roden said.
Roden was diagnosed with Parkinson's
disease in 2009. His symptoms worsened over
time until he couldn't brush his teeth or feed
himself, let alone live his once active life filled
with exercise, travel and the outdoors. He
was taking 10 medications daily with waning
effectiveness and debilitating side effects that
even made it difficult for him to concentrate
on a game of Monopoly with his children. But
today, life is an inspiring ride for 57-year-old
Roy.
To manage his Parkinson's disease, Roden
decided to pursue Deep Brain Stimulation
(DBS) therapy, a treatment option that when
used with medications may improve quality of
life and motor function more than medications
alone, and may allow medication reduction.
The therapy uses a surgically implanted
medical device, similar to a cardiac pacemaker,
to deliver electrical stimulation to precisely
targeted areas of the brain to reduce some of
the most disabling motor symptoms associated
with Parkinson's disease, including shaking,
stiffness and movement difficulties.
"I wouldn't be able to do this without DBS,
as it gave me my life back. Along the ride people
ask about my connection to Parkinson's and are
surprised when I tell them I have it."
After receiving DBS Therapy, Roden said
that his quality of life and symptoms, such as
shaking hands and difficulty walking, have
noticeably improved. As a result, Roden was
inspired to accomplish something extraordinary
and offer hope to other Parkinson's patients.
Wyman Tavern Museum
Thus, the PD Challenge was born.
"In the absence of a cure, my goal is to
educate people with Parkinson's about the
opportunities they have to live an active life
with this debilitating disease," said Roy.
"DBS therapy is an important treatment
option for Parkinson's disease that has
stood the test of time as an FDA approved
therapy. It consistently allows those suffering
to experience lasting improvements that
make their quality of life meaningfully
better," said Jonathan Jagid, M.D., Associate
Professor of Clinical Neurological Surgery,
Neurology, Orthopaedics & Rehabilitation
at the University of Miami Health System,
and also Roy's neurosurgeon. "Roy has had
great results and his efforts to give back are
an inspiring example to the Parkinson's
community nationwide." Results with the
therapy vary, and not every individual will
receive the same benefits or experience the
same complications. Patients should discuss
potential risks and benefits of DBS with
their physician. Medtronic DBS Therapy is
the only FDA-approved DBS therapy in the
United States for Parkinson's disease, as well
as essential tremor and dystonia (through a
Humanitarian Device Exemption).

Qualifying is fast and easy with a free phone call within
the next 48 hours to the trained Medicare specialists at
The Back Pain Resource Center.
Comfortable, custom fit provides immediate pain relief
If you are reading this, you know that lower back pain can
be excruciating and debilitating. Even mild, low-grade back
pain, whether chronic or recurring, robs seniors of their
golden years and takes the fun out of life.
The Verta Loc was designed by medical technology experts
to reverse that situation, instantly. It fits all waist sizes and
has no small pieces to fumble with. Your Verta Loc will arrive fully assembled and could not be easier to adjust for a
perfectly custom-tailored fit and immediate relief.
Verta Loc’s unique two-strap system
gives you complete control over the
compression you need to feel relief,
offering maximum comfort and
protection with just the right amount
of support.
Not avail able through retailers or over the Internet
To keep costs down and to streamline and speed up the Medicare qualification process, the Verta Loc Back Brace cannot be
purchased online or in stores. It is only available with a free
call to The Back Pain Resource Center, and will be shipped directly to your home by our trusted supplier of quality durable
medical equipment.
Recommended by doctors and
back pain specialists
Physicians agree that using a
high-quality back brace like Verta
Loc helps encourage safe movement, teaches good body mechanics, and restricts the motions
that cause pain in the first place. Patients are able to maintain
their daily activities and learn better back health practices.
Medicare coverage specialists are available by phone for the
next 48 hours only. Call today!
Since Medicare is now covering the Verta Loc, the phone
lines are expected to be flooded, but if lines are busy, callers are encouraged to keep trying. For the next 48 hours, the
goal of the Back Pain Resource Center is to make sure every
senior is able to experience the relief and freedom provided
by having their own Verta Loc.
To get your Verta Loc please find your time zone on
this map and begin calling at the time indicated.
CALL 800-831-4290
The Center’s specialists are trained in Medicare and make
it very easy for virtually all seniors with lower back pain to
qualify for the new Verta Loc and obtain one at little to no
cost out-of-pocket. The specialists handle all the paperwork
in a matter of minutes.
Pain relief and financial relief too
Many people find themselves wearing their Verta Loc for
only part of the day to experience relief. Plus, when the pain
subsides, many are able to reduce or even eliminate their
use of pain medications, which not only eliminates unwanted side effects but also saves money.
Results not typical and may vary. Not all patients qualify. Product covered in full with payment by primary and secondary insurance. Warranty and restrictions apply.
