Dear Residents, Friendsand Families:

I know it’s hardto believe, butspring is justaround the corner;March winds, Aprilshowers and Mayflowers will be here

soon. March brings the beginningof spring, a season of growth andrenewal.

Green blades of grass pushthrough the ground, and greenbuds of leaves sprout on the trees.Regular growth is part of nature’scycle, and ours, too. No matterhow old we may get, we neverstop growing! This March,consider ways you can grow yourmind, heart, health andhappiness.

In addition to March madness,Easter and St. Patrick’s Day, it’stime to celebrate Wellderly Week!Wellderly is a blend of the words“well and elderly.” The third weekof March is set aside to celebrateand recognize senior citizens whoare young at heart. If you take alook around you, it’s easy to seejust what that means: Today’sseniors are something special.Medical advances and activelifestyles are helping seniors livelonger than ever, and not just live,but thrive.

Senior adults are becoming

pros at Wii, going on frequentexcursions, volunteering,exercising daily and updating theirFacebook pages! These are peoplewho show the rest of society that"80 is the new 70,” and so on.Remember as you celebrateWellderly Week the words of poetRobert Browning: “Grow old alongwith me! The best is yet to be.”

It’s time to spring forward!Daylight Saving Time beginsSunday, March 13. Set your clockone hour ahead before goingto bed on Saturday, March 12.

Best wishes to Elizabeth Conboy,Norvelle Copeland, Pat Hunt, AlanConklin, Phyllis Miller, AlyceWilliams, Pat Boyd, Joan Jones andBob Bosworth, who are allcelebrating birthdays this month.

Forever grateful,Jan Boatright

All About EasterEaster, one of the most

important holidays inChristianity, celebrates the centralevent of the Christian faith: theresurrection of Jesus Christ afterhis crucifixion. This event issignificant to Christians because,through his death andresurrection, Jesus suffered for thesins of the world, yet was able toovercome death.

Easter is observed on the firstSunday after the full moon thatoccurs on or after the vernalequinox (the first day of spring).According to the Bible, the eventsof the crucifixion and resurrectionoccurred during the JewishPassover, a springtime celebration.

Easter is preceded by Lent, a40-day period of fasting andrepentance that begins on AshWednesday. The Sunday beforeEaster is Palm Sunday, the daythat Jesus arrived in Jerusalem.The week before Easter is calledHoly Week.

During Holy Week, Christiansobserve Maundy Thursday, whenthe Last Supper with Jesus and hisdisciples took place; and GoodFriday, the day of the crucifixion.The resurrection is then celebratedon Easter Sunday.

Children often participate inEaster egg hunts and look forwardto visits from the Easter Bunny,who is said to deliver candy andeggs during the night. Eggs andrabbits were once used as fertilitysymbols during ancientspringtime festivals, but nowrepresent new life when associatedwith the Easter holiday.

happy holiday!

New Hope forAlzheimer’s DetectionEver since Alzheimer’s disease

was described by a German doctorin 1906, there was only one wayto know for sure if someone hadit. A pathologist would examinethe brain after death, looking forplaque. If there was no plaque,that person did not have thedisease. Autopsies have shownthat 20 percent of people withdementia diagnosed withAlzheimer’s did not have thedisease. But now there’s a newscan that can be done on livingpatients to check for plaque ontheir brains. For the first time,doctors would have a reliable way

to diagnose the presence ofAlzheimer’s in patients withmemory problems.

Brain scans that show plaquecould help scientists with somefundamental questions: Who hasor is getting Alzheimer’s, does thedisease ever stop or slow down onits own, and is plaque reallycausing brain cell death? There isno treatment yet to stop or slowthe progress of Alzheimer’s, butmajor drug companies have newexperimental drugs they hope willwork. These scans provide a wayfor the companies to test thedrugs. If the scans can accuratelypredict whether people aredeveloping Alzheimer’s beforethey have symptoms, that’s whendoctors will have the best chanceof fighting this disease.

The Joy of PassoverPassover is an eight-day festival

celebrated in the early spring(March or April), from the 15ththrough the 22nd of the Hebrewmonth Nissan.

The holiday celebrates thefreedom of the Israelites fromslavery in ancient Egypt. The bookof Exodus tells how God sentMoses to deliver a message toPharaoh to free the Jewish slaves.When Pharaoh refused, God senta series of plagues to Egypt. Thefinal plague was the death of allthe firstborn. However, God“passed over” the houses of Jews,sparing those families’ firstborn.

Avoiding chametz, or leavenedgrain, is an important part ofPassover. This tradition cameabout because the Jews fleeingEgypt were in a hurry and didn’thave time to let their bread rise.Unleavened bread, or matzah, iseaten during the days of thefestival.

A Seder meal is held the firsttwo nights of Passover andfollows a series of rituals from abook called the Haggadah.Blessings are given, and specificfoods—including matzah, bitterherbs, and wine or grape juice—are eaten.

The story of the first Passover isread from the Haggadah,prompted by the youngest personasking a set of questions,beginning with “Why is this nightdifferent from all other nights?”
