Spring is the time of year that brings out the kid in all of us. That is why RSVP is holding three—yes, three—Easter egg hunts! The first stop is the RSVP station, Helping Hands of Way-man Chapel’s First Annual Health Fair on April 12 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in

Egg hunts, Easter bunnies and purse parties are a perfect recipe for spring

the church fellowship hall. Weather permitting, the egg hunt for kids will be out-side on the church grounds at 1120 Sixth Avenue in New Brighton from noon to 1 p.m.

Now, onto the second stop: an egg hunt just for seniors on Tuesday, April 15 at 10 a.m., inside Center at the Mall, next to Hallmark, Beaver Valley Mall.

Last but certainly not least is the “just for kids” Easter egg hunt sponsored by New Brighton Community Life on April 19 at Townsend Park, 610 Third Avenue in New Brighton. By the crack of noon, 3,000 eggs will have been hidden for the children of the area to find! Whew, that Easter Bunny is going to be busy!

RSVP volunteer Betty Jane Hudson fills plastic eggs with stickers and treats for the annual New Brighton Easter egg hunt.

HomeCare Elite winnerthree years in a row

Western Pennsylvania

Are you or is someone you know having difficulty trav-eling in and out of the home, moving up and down

stairs, or using the bathroom? If so, the Home Safe Home program can help. For more than 13 years, this program has installed hundreds of bathroom grab bars and stair railings, and has constructed many wheelchair ramps throughout the Beaver County region. In addition, the program has constructed sidewalks, remodeled bathrooms, installed stair glides and completed many other safety related home im-provements for those experiencing difficulty living at home.

Many projects can be funded in all or in part through the Home Safe Home grants process. Project funding is avail-able for individuals ages 60 and older, and program par-ticipants will qualify based upon monthly income. Some lower-income seniors may receive the safety installation at no cost, while those with higher incomes will have a co-pay based upon a sliding scale. Project funding is available in Beaver County and western Allegheny County. For those who don’t qualify for funding, the complete Home Safe Home program service is available on a fee basis for clients of any age, just as someone would hire a private company or contractor.

Home Safe Home has extensive experience with all aspects of safety related home modifications and maintains a corps of trained and knowledgeable independent contractors who expertly and respectfully complete each project. BCSN

Home Safe Home is a program of Valley Care Association, an affiliate of Lutheran Senior Life. To inquire about the program, contact John Seitz at (724) 496-1558 or jseitz@vna.com. To learn more, visit www.valleycareassociation.org and click on Home Safe Home.

More than 100 people attended a luncheon in honor of Black History Month on February 22 at Circle of Friends New

Brighton. The group enjoyed a catered lunch from Mississippi Chicken Shack of Beaver Falls, and entertainment was provided by the Beulah Baptist Church Dance Troupe of Aliquippa.

This year’s honorees were Dorothy James, Ruby Golding and Mary Wilson who, among other Freedom Riders, made the trip to join Dr. Martin Luther King in Washington, DC in Au-gust of 1963. That March on Washington has long been held as the catalyst for passing the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as well as being the place Dr. King made his iconic “I Have a Dream” speech. All three honorees were given commendations from special guests: Commissioner Joe Spanik, Congressman Keith Rothfus and Janet George, a representative from Senator Elder Vogel’s office. In his remarks, Commissioner Spanik reminded the crowd that in many parts of our nation today, the fight is still being fought to give voting rights to certain groups of people. Congressman Rothfus admired the courage and conviction of those civil rights volunteers who became known as Freedom Riders.

Circle of Friends New Brighton hosts luncheon in honor of Black History Month

Special speakers at the event also included activist Leanne Spearman, who gave an historic reading and Mtume Imani, an activist and secretary of the Beaver County chapter of the NAACP. Mtume’s presentation was perhaps the most poignant moment of the day; she read a letter written by an African-American woman who was severely beaten and thrown into jail for attempting to register to vote in 1963. “This was 100 years after the Civil War that these events of violence and struggle were still happening—only 50 years ago!” she cited.

“Our Black History Month recognition is something we at Circle of Friends see as not only a celebration but as a re-sponsibility,” said executive director Larry Murphy. “It’s to remind all of us that in the 1960s, people were fighting and dying for equality. That was not that long ago.”

Keen-Age News . . . For Beaver County’s Active Seniors

April 2014 • Beaver County Senior News

By Mike Durham, Master Gardener Volunteer For Beaver County Senior News

During this harsh winter, my thoughts always turned to sunshine, flowers, and vegetables fresh from the garden. Now, I can get my senior garden ready for plant-ing, and so can you! Garden plots are available at the senior gardens located on Western Avenue in Brighton Township. The gardens are all tilled in early May and water is available for a small fee.

There’s also a portable bathroom, small pavilion, picnic tables and

Growing your own food can be rewarding, fun and deliciousBy Angela Gentile, Planning Unit Program Monitor Beaver County Office on Aging For Beaver County Senior News

I really like to grow vegetables in my garden. It is great to watch the food you are going to consume start out as sprouts and grow to maturity.

I meet a lot of gardeners in the county, but it surprises me how few people grow their own food in comparison to the amount of people who have fabulous flower gardens and landscaped yards

with shrubs and trees. It is not hard grow food. I suggest you try to grow some herbs and greens in containers.

Here’s how to get started. You can purchase many of the supplies at the dollar stores, big box retailers or home improvement stores. Get a plastic, terra cotta or ceramic pot with drain-age holes. Get a pot at least 12-inches tall so roots can grow well. Purchase some potting soil mix. Regular soil from the ground is too heavy for the container. Fill the pot half way with the potting soil and water the soil. Then fill the pot with potting soil, leave at least one inch from the top. Water the soil again. You water the soil first so when you plant your seed and water it, the seed does not go floating all over the place.

Select a packet of herb seeds that you would like to grow. Some people like to grow basil, chives, parsley and oregano in pots. Plant the seed according to the package instructions. For greens, con-sider something like lettuce, spinach or Swiss chard. Again, plant the seed following the package instructions. Sometimes, you will need to reseed lettuce after you harvest it, plus it can get bitter tasting in the hot weather.

Swiss chard is great because it keeps growing throughout the season. After planting the seed, gently water. Get some fertilizer that you can mix with water to feed the plant, which can be weekly or monthly.

You will need to keep your pots in a sunny window or sunny area outside. Outside is good since it is warmer and a better, more natural environment for the plants. Make sure you water regularly as soil in pots will dry out quickly, especially outside. Many herbs and greens will sprout in several days. Check for pests on your plants. In about 55 to 60 days, you will be able to begin harvesting some of your food.

Some of you get very excited about pur-chasing locally grown fruits and veg-etables. Several people called the Beaver County Office on Aging in February when there was six inches of snow on the ground to ask when the Senior Farm-ers Market vouchers will be available. The vouchers will be distributed after June 1. We are completing the distribu-tion schedule and are waiting for the income guidelines from the state. The schedule will appear in the May issue of the Beaver County Senior News. BCSN

Senior Garden Plots Available

benches, two sheds to store your tools, and a raised bed garden for those in a wheelchair. New this year will be compost bins provided by Job Training for Beaver County. In addition, Master

Gardeners generally are available to answer any gardening questions.

The best thing about gardening at the site is the new friends you will make while enjoying the fruits of your labor. To request a plot, call the Penn State Exten-sion office at (724) 774-3003 for an appli-cation. Once the application is returned to the office, I will call you and meet you at the gardens to show you how to get started. You and several friends may share a plot and work it together. Several gardeners already there have family and friends helping them. BCSN

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ Hall of Fame football coach Chuck Noll has this to say about retirement:

“When you are retired, you wake up in the morning with nothing to do, and when you go to bed at night, you have half of it done.”

Some other Nollisms: “You only get what you demand.” “If you are even thinking about retiring, it’s time to re-tire.” He is self-deprecating about his perceived lack of humor: “Germans are not good at telling jokes.”

Noll is an admirable fellow, a decent moral man, a good husband and father, and faithful to his Catholic upbring-ing. He turned 82 this January and has some health challenges that restrict his mobility, as well as some memory loss. He and his wife, Marianne, live in Bonita Springs, Florida. He remains the only coach to claim four Super Bowl championships.

All of this and much more is detailed in the new book, Chuck Noll: A Win-ning Way, by Pittsburgh-based sports writer and historian Jim O’Brien. The 640-page book includes 32 pages of full-color photos interspersed with interviews by many of the star players from the Steelers of the 1970s. They share stories about their interactions with Noll over the years. “They find themselves quoting their old coach from time to time, and most of them

Steelers former head coach Chuck Noll profiled in new bookhave great respect and admiration for him,” O’Brien notes. “He is like the stern and demanding teacher you had in school that you come to appreciate as you get older and wiser.”

The book also features Butler County’s own Terry Hanratty, who starred as quarterback at Butler Area High School and was an All-American at Notre Dame before being drafted by the Steelers in 1969. He and Art Rooney Jr. share the opinion that Noll is the most important person in Steelers’ history. “They were mediocre for the first 40 years and they have been win-ners for the last 40 years,” Hanratty comments in the book. “Noll taught the Rooneys how to run a winning football organization.”

Chuck Noll: A Winning Way is the 22nd book that O’Brien has written on Pitts-burgh sports subjects. His “Pittsburgh Proud” series and other works include The Chief: Art Rooney and His Pittsburgh Steelers, Immaculate Reflections, and stories on a variety of other Pittsburgh sports teams and personalities—from Franco Harris to Roberto Clemente. O’Brien’s books are easy to read and are suitable for all ages.

An author-signed copy of Chuck Noll: A Winning Way can be ordered by visiting jimobriensportsauthor.com or Amazon.com. The $33.45 price includes tax and shipping. BCSNSteeler Terry Hanratty.

Baseball in Heaven?

Two buddies Bob and Earl were two of the biggest base-ball fans in America. Their entire adult lives, Bob and Earl discussed baseball history in the winter, and they pored over every box score during the season. They went to 60 games a year. They even agreed that whoever died first would try to come back and tell the other if there was baseball in heaven.

One summer night, Bob passed away in his sleep after watching the Yankee victory earlier in the evening. He died happy. A few nights later, his buddy Earl awoke to the sound of Bob’s voice from beyond.

“Bob, Is that you?” Earl asked. “Of course it me,” Bob replied.

“This is unbelievable!” Earl exclaimed. “So tell me, is there baseball in heaven?”

“Well, I have some good news and some bad news for you. Which do you want to hear first?”

“Tell me the good news first.”

Well, the good news is that there is baseball in heaven, Earl.”

“Oh, that is wonderful! So what could possibly be the bad news?”

“You’re pitching tomorrow night.”
