WASHINGTON, May 23, 2018 — For many Americans, the summer grilling and travel season has began. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) wants to make sure you and your family avoid food poisoning this summer. An estimated 128,000 Americans are hospitalized with food poison-ing each year, but foodborne illnesses can be prevented during summer months by properly handling perishable foods during travel, and by using a food thermometer when grilling. When you are grilling, perishable food items, including raw meat and poultry, need to be handled safely before they hit the grill. Bacteria grow rapidly in warm temperatures, so perishable foods need to be kept at 40°F or below to reduce bacterial growth. Perishable foods that are held above 40°F for more than two hours should not be consumed. In hot weather (above 90°F), food should be discarded if it sits out for more than one hour. The best way to keep food cold during the summer is to use a cooler. Consider packing beverages in one cooler and perishable food in another cooler. The beverage cooler may be opened frequently, causing the temperature inside of the cooler to fluctuate and become unsafe for perishable foods. Prevent juices from raw meat and poultry from cross-contaminating other items in your cooler by placing raw meats in waterproof containers before placing them in the cooler. Ensure you have all the tools and utensils you may need for grilling before heading out to the grill. Grab these items to help ensure a safe grilling experience:

Food thermometer Paper towels or moist towelettes Two sets of cooking utensils (tongs, spatulas, forks, etc.). Use the first set to handle raw items and the other for cooked foods. Plates or containers for cooked items. Never place cooked foods on the same plate or container that held raw meat or poultry. Before eating any meat or poultry you have grilled, verify any potential illness-causing bacteria has been destroyed by using a food thermometer.

June Greetings, Great times for baseball fans and BBQ fans. We are finally getting our warm weather . The picnics and Farmer’s Markets are getting scheduled so stay tuned. With the warmer weather, I like to remind people of food safety and precautions. (read below) The home delivered meal drivers are not permitted to leave frozen meals at homes with no response/calls/prearrangements so please do not blame them, this is our protocol to not only avoid food spoilage and possible food-borne illnesses, but also avoid the furry pests from making messy picnics on your porches. Thank you. The end of our fiscal year is upon us and we have been fortunate to obtain funding from some of our sister Area Agency on Aging programs to address the long waiting list that is building for our OPTIONS/Lottery-funded programs. Currently the wait list is over 35 families. We are addressing the most vulnerable as quickly as possible and hope to avoid early nursing facility placement with these services. I hope to have our full fiscal year’s figures for review in early August. It has been one overwhelming year for Aging services, from protective service record breaking numbers, to referrals, to changes in almost every program we provide (including family caregiver support, assessment and Ombudsman). See details about our Elder Justice Day this month at St. Patrick’s Church in Milford. It promises to be an information-packed event. As always, transportation is provided by our Agency, free of charge, but you must call 570-296-3408 for reservations. A few other changes we have for June is our Westfall office is being “manned” by a sweet lady, Andrea Bajac, our volunteer will be available on Thursdays to help with applications, answer questions, or provide referrals for our staff to assist with program opportunities such as Famer’s Market Vouchers, PACE referrals, food pantrys, transportation applications, and other services. The location is 132 Hulst Dr., Matamoras @ Westfall Apartments (1st building). Also new this month is our Eastern Pike Center being opened on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays for the summer. Welcome Dave Zlasney, Site Manager and all around helper to our Agency. We are still looking for volunteers at this and other centers, contact Dawn Houghtaling at 570-390-4540 or Sue VanOrden at 570-775-5550 ext. 1303.

Congratulations to the Pike County APPRISE team on receipt of the prestigious 2018 Secretary’s Award presented

by the Pennsylvania Department of Aging.

Diakon (Lutheran Social Ministries) (Child, Family and Community Services) is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a grant from the Corporation for National and

Community Service, to sponsor a Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) in Berks, Pike and Wayne Counties, beginning immediately. As part of the national Senior Corps, RSVP is America’s largest volunteer network for people 55 and over, with more than 300,000 volunteers tackling tough issues in communities nationwide. Ms. Kathy Mitchell, RSVP Program Manager will oversee the program and is based in Topton, PA. Ms. Dawn Houghtaling, RSVP Program Coordinator for the Pike and Wayne county areas, has offices in Hawley and Matamoras, PA. Volunteers choose how, where, and how often they want to serve with commitments ranging from a few hours to 40 hours per week. RSVP seeks to provide volunteer opportunities that enrich the lives of the volunteer, while assisting in meeting critical community needs. It is an opportunity for the volunteer to apply the skills and wisdom they have acquired throughout their career and life, or develop new ones, as they make a positive difference in the lives of others. In conjunction with the Berks, Pike and Wayne County Area Agencies on Aging, Diakon’s RSVP will focus on assisting seniors to live independently, and maintain healthier lifestyles. Volunteers may deliver Meals on Wheels, assist in agency kitchens or food pantries, drive clients to medical appointments, counsel clients on Medicare as part of the APPRISE pro-gram, or help to promote wellness and activity among seniors.

Your ability to fly on a commercial airplane and enter a federal facility will soon require a passport or an enhanced drivers licenses or identification cards known as REAL ID. Pennsylvania will start offering REAL IDs in the spring of 2019, but I suggest those interested in obtaining one should start getting your documents together now. The REAL ID Act, passed by the U.S. Congress in 2005, requires changes to state standards, procedures, and requirements for the issuance of driver’s licenses and identification cards, if they are to be accepted as identity documents by the federal government.
