(NAPSI)The beauty
of a New Year is the
opportunity to start
fresh on the things that
matter to you. While the
opportunity for new
beginnings is exciting,
often, people experience
resolution
pressure, which can
inhibit
successparticularly when it
comes to fitness and
health
goals.
At
SilverSneakers
Fitness, the nations
leading fitness program
designed for older
adults,
we
know
firsthand the power of
goal
setting
and
achievement. The tips
below will help guide
and inspire you to reach
your goals in 2015.
Find Purpose: Health
and fitness goals must
be grounded in motivation. Finding motivation
is the most powerful
aspect of any fitness
plan, and motivation is
clearly unique for each
person. For some, it is
playing
with
their
grandchildren or walking a mile without joint
pain; for others, it is
maintaining indepen-

dence at home or traveling abroad without

limitations. Identifying
this motivation and
translating it into an
active lifestyle is the
first step.
Start Slowly, Be Realistic: If you want to
ensure lasting positive
change in your fitness
and health routines, you
have to structure the
change in a manageable
and reasonable way. At
SilverSneakers, one of
the easiest ways to get
started is by taking a
FLEX class that
provides flexible exercise options in your
neighborhood that are
outside of a traditional
gym
settingfrom
classes at your local

community center or
senior center to your
neighborhood
park.
Once you get started, set
a series of small goals
that you can celebrate
on your path to achieving a long-term goal.
Those small celebrations of success will
keep the fire fueled for
achievement.
Plan for Success, Plan
for Failure
One of the biggest
predictors of success is
planning. If you can
plan the steps to your
fitness goals, the better
the results you will
realize. Make preparation part of the routine
and reassess weekly the
days to be active and
which days you need to

be lenient. This weekly

scheduling also allows
you to adjust to unexpected
obstacles,
allowing time to reflect
and readjust for longterm success.
Do What You Love
Fitness should be
inspiring
through
activities that reinvigorate, such as tennis,
basketball, Latin dance
and yoga. In addition to
revisiting your past
favorites,
consider
getting out of your
comfort zone to find
new favorites, so that
your new routine is
filled with a variety of
passion areas. In fact,
thanks to the SilverSneakers
FLEX
classes, you have an
array of options that are
both in and outside of
the gym.
Low
Cost,
High
Impact: Achieving your
fitness and health goals
does not have to be
expensive. Programs
like
SilverSneakers
Fitness are offered,
usually at no cost, as a
benefit through many
Medicare Advantage
health plans, Medicare
Supplement
carriers

and group retiree plans.

In fact, more than 11
million people are
eligible for SilverSneakers Fitness.
Activate the Support
System: Seek new
friendships in your
fitness routinepeers
who will celebrate your
successes and share the
journey. Camaraderie is
one of the reasons
SilverSneakers Fitness
has been so successful
for membersit offers
a fitness family. Additionally, finding support
from a spouse, friend or
family member ensures
you have the encouragement you need to maintain your dedication at
home.

Can anyone be "too

young" for addiction
treatment? Absolutely
not!
Statistics have
shown that the younger
someone is when they
start using more likely
they are to develop a
long term problem but if
someone receives treatment for their addiction
at a young age they are
more likely to find long
term recovery.
In the article "When

you are the youngest

person in Rehab..." by
Beth Burgess.
Beth
states" I was always one
of the youngest people
there. Often I was
several decades younger
than most of the other
clients, and many years
behind the rest. At first,
I found being a relative
whippersnapper
an
unsettling experience.
My
addiction
had
started very young and
had completely screwed

me up by my early
twenties. I remember
feeling resentful that
my body and mind had
cracked so early and I
was ashamed that I was
so washed up at such a
young age. "
Beth
found three concepts
most helpful, they are 1Be Grateful 2- Listen
3-Learn.
If youre lucky enough
to be the youngest
person in rehab, you can
learn so much from

people that may have

been battling addiction
for longer. Not only can
they tell you what has
been helpful for them,
but they can also share
knowledge of what
doesnt work as well.
Treatment is difficult at
any age but Recovery is
well worth it!

Bangor for information

or outpatient treatment
options.

(NAPSI)Settling
into a new place can be
an
exciting
time.
Youre
unpacking,
meeting new neighbors, getting the lay of
the land and making
decisions about how to
furnish and decorate
your home. At the same
time, youre assuming
many new financial
responsibilities, such as
mortgage
payments
and maintenance costs.
Thats one reason its
important to protect
yourself and your
family by making sure
you have a sound financial foundation.
Savings: More Important Than Ever: While
setting aside money for
emergencies is a good
idea no matter what,
its essential that, as a
homeowner, you keep a
reserve handy in case
the
unexpected
happens. Homeowners
can find themselves
facing
expensive
repairs
that
shouldntor
cantbe
delayed.
Adequate savings can
keep you from having
to choose between
postponing a needed
repair and risking
further damage to your
homewhich
may
require
spending
beyond your budget.
Savings can also be
used to pay for home
improvement projects,
such as remodeling a
kitchen or bathroom or
building an addition,
that may enhance the
value of your invest-

ment and help you

make the most of your
home.
An obvious place to
put your savings is in a
traditional
FDICinsured bank account.
Another
alternative
would be to place your
money in a money
market fund. These are
conservative
investments that offer competitive interest rates
and
check-writing
privileges, so assets in
money market funds
can be easily used to
pay your mortgage and
expenses in case of an
emergency.
An investment in a
money market fund is
not FDIC insured or
guaranteed by any
other
government
agency.
Pay Yourself First: It
can be difficult to think
about saving money
when youre a new
homeowner; you may
have just spent a
significant amount of
money on a down
payment, and you are
already diverting a
large portion of your
income toward the

mortgage,
property
taxes and homeowners
insurance. Even on a
tight budget, however,
saving money doesnt
have to be a painful
experience.
Simply get into the
habit of paying yourself first. Every time
you get paid, put aside
a set amount before
using any of it to pay
bills
or
make
purchases. Many financial companies, such as
First Investors, can
facilitate
this
by
making the process
automatic; a fixed
amount can be automatically
deducted
from your paycheck or
your bank account on a
regular basis and put
into a mutual fund
account.
Protecting
Your
Home: Most owners
buy
homeowners
insurance, and for good
reason. Your home is
likely your largest
single asset and investment. It must be
protected in case of
fire, burglary or natural
disaster.
But a home is also a
major
source
of
expenses:
mortgage
payments,
property
taxes, maintenance and

the like. If your household loses the earning

power of a loved one,
your family might not
be able to afford those
costs. Thats where life
insurance steps in. Its
benefits can be used to
help cover mortgage
payments and other
home-related expenses
so that your family can
remain in their home.
Dont Overlook Life
Insurance. Life insurance can also help:
Replace lost income,
so your family can
maintain its current
lifestyle;
Ensure that goalssuch as a childs
educationcan still be
achieved;
Pay final expenses,
such as medical bills
and funeral expenditures.
Speak With Your
Insurance Representative: An insurance
representative can also
discuss what products
may be suitable for
your unique needs and
make specific investment and insurance
recommendations.
For further information about First Investors funds or variable
products, you can get a
free prospectus and
summary prospectus by
contacting a representative, calling (800)

Investors has been
helping individuals and
everyday
families
reach their financial
goals with competitive
investment, life insurance and annuity products.

Hello, fellow readers!

Kelly from Forks
Township, shared that
she stares at a blank
wall. Its their detached
garage,
which
sits
directly behind the house
and is covered with
asbestos siding. Having
small children, shed like
to protect the wall from
damage by sports balls
and the like, as their
lawn runs right up to it.
Theres a sprinkler pipe
that runs alongside the
wall and so her husband
is opposed to planting
trees or shrubs next to it.
Most folks cringe when
they hear the word
asbestos. Its true it can
be extremely dangerous
if the siding is broken up
and asbestos fibers are
released into the air.
Asbestos siding was
used from the 1920s
until the 1980s and is
still found in many older
homes today. It was
made by adding asbestos, a naturally occurring
mineral, to cement,
which proved durable,
insulating, fire-resistant,
and absorbed paint well.
Asbestos shingles are

non-friable,
which
means the fibers aren't
released unless they're
sawed, drilled, cut or
broken. Hence, asbestos
siding in good condition
is best left alone. Kelly is
smart to keep her garage
protected from damage
and certainly attaching a
garden feature directly to
the wall is out of the
question.
One thought that comes
to mind is to off-set the
garage by say two feet
and stake in beefy, freestanding trellises. I'd
suggest three, three-foot
wide trellises with a
space in between, but of
course it depends on the
length of the wall. Based
on the cultural conditions there (sun/shade,
moisture and soil conditions), plant two or three
varieties of flowering
vines to provide color all
growing season. The
garden space surrounding the trellises could be
a simple lawn alternative
such as Hakonechloa
macra 'Aureola, Golden
Japanese forest grass,
which brightens up a
space and is essentially
hands-free.
Another idea is a
narrow pergola, also
offset from the garage,
thats about three quarters the length of the
wall. Why not add a
garden bench below to
serve as a peaceful place
to watch your children at
play. Move the bench
aside and the pergola can
serve as a goal post too;
and you're the goal
keeper. Moms and Dads
have such an important
job!

Moravian
College
recently purchased the
property
at
1441
Schoenersville Road in
Bethlehem,
Pa.,
formerly
the
24/7
Fitness Club , and is
partnering with St.
Lukes
University
Health
Network
(SLUHN) to develop a
center for sports medicine at the site that will
integrate an academic
learning environment
with the real-world
application of programs
and services.
St. Lukes University
Health Network will
lease
approximately
9,000 sq. ft. of space
from the College, said
Robert Martin, Senior

University
Health
Network. The space
will house a comprehensive sports medicine
program
that

include
orthopaedic
surgeons, primary care
sports medicine physicians, physical therapists, athletic trainers
and other sports medicine specialists. The
center will be open to
the general public as
well as the faculty, staff
and students of Moravian College. St. Lukes
University
Health
Network
recently
became the official
sports
medicine
provider for Moravians
18 NCAA Division III

athletics
programs,
Martin added.
The remaining space
will be used to support
academic programming
developed
by
the
College in conjunction

of developing a masters
level athletic training
program that will be
offered through the
Colleges
Comenius
Center for continuing
and graduate studies that
is expected to start
during the summer/fall
of 2016. According to
John Hauth, senior
director of sports medicine relationships for St.
Luke's, " This unique
Program will feature
expert faculty from
Moravian College as
well as nationally recognized clinician-scholars
from St. Luke's University Health Network.
We are pleased to
partner with St. Lukes
University
Health
Network, a nationally
recognized
teaching
hospital with an exceptional commitment to
the advancement of
medical education, said
Bryon L. Grigsby 90,
president of Moravian
College. We anticipate
the development of
programs of mutual
benefit that will provide
our students with hands
on clinical experiences
as we build a complex
that will serve as a
center of learning for
our students, and serve
the sports medicine and
physical therapy needs
of the community.

The building will

include
specially
designed classroom and
laboratory spaces for
the
masters
level
program in athletic
training and other
health care professions.
In addition, the facility
will include research
laboratories designed
for
collaborative
projects with faculty,
students and employees
of the St. Lukes
network.
We
are
excited to expand our
sports
medicine
services in the Bethlehem
region
while
partnering with a great
College like Moravian.
We look forward to
working with them to
establish a national
reputation for athletic
training education and
sports
medicine
research, said John
Hauth, senior director
of sports medicine
relationships at St.
Lukes.
The College will renovate the interior of the
building which has
approximately 27,800
square feet of usable
space.
We
are
currently designing and
programming the overall space utilization of
the building and hope to
complete the renovation by December 2015,
at which point SLUHN
would begin to utilize
the facility, said Mark
Reed, vice president for
administration at Moravian College. The
project will include the
complete renovation of
some spaces, and more

modest renovations and

repurposing of other
spaces.

Ciao Amici ,
We met
two new
customers this week
from Astoria Queens
that moved to Saylorsburg. It was nice to
reminisce about grow-

ing up as an Italian
American.
The one line Frank and
Donna used was, They
dont make that model
anymore. Here are
some examples of what
we talked about.
The family got together
on Sunday for macaroni
They dont make that
model anymore.
Telephones were not
answered at dinner.
They dont make that
model anymore.
Immigrants learned to
speak English. They
dont make that model
anymore.
People supported local
small businesses. They
dont make that model
anymore.

Women wore black

when their husbands
died. They dont make
that model anymore.
Homes needed not be
locked. They dont
make
that
model
anymore.
You knew all your
neighbors from birth.
They dont make that
model anymore.
You
worked
and
refused handouts. They
dont make that model
anymore.
Grandparents
were
held in high esteem.
They dont make that
model anymore.
The word God was in
government and school.
They dont make that
model anymore.

Do you have any They

dont make that model
anymore sayings? We
would love to hear from
you!
Con cordiali saluti,
Joe

State Rep. Joe Emrick

(R-Nazareth) has been
appointed to serve on
four standing House
committees for the
2015-16
session.
Emrick, who is entering
his third term in office, is
a member of the Agriculture
and
Rural
Affairs, Game and Fisheries, Human Services
and Professional Licensure committees.
Many of the 27 House
committees have met
and begun the task of
moving bills before the
full House for a vote,
said Emrick. Im looking forward to the
challenge of evaluating
the many pieces of legislation with which we
deal and taking them up
in committee as part of
the legislative process.
Responsibilities of the
committees on which
Emrick will serve are as
follows:
Agriculture and Rural
Affairs - Maintains
legislative involvement
in agriculture and rural
areas, dealing with

issues such as dog law

enforcement, agriculture
research, food safety
and farmland preservation. In recent years, it
has moved legislation
concerning
nutrient
management
and
Pennsylvanias Clean
and Green Law.
Game and Fisheries Receives and reviews
annual performance and
status reports from the
Pennsylvania
Game
Commission and the
Pennsylvania Fish and
Boat Commission.
Human Services Responsible for oversight of the Departments
of Drug and Alcohol,

Health and Human

Services (formerly the
Department of Public
Welfare).
Professional Licensure
(vice-chairman)

Provides Pennsylvanias
29 licensing boards with
legal, technical and
logistical support to
administer their licensure programs. Recent
issues include legislation to regulate massage
therapists and crane
operators.
Emrick will also serve
as one of 18 deputy
majority whips for the
2015-16 under new
Major Whip Bryan
Cutler
(R-Lancaster).
Duties of a deputy whip
include assisting with
member head counts and
helping to promote
certain issues facing the
House
Republican
Caucus.
Questions about this
event or any legislative
issue should be directed
to Emricks Mt. Bethel
office at 570-897-0401
or his Nazareth office at
610-746-5090.

Ratings giant Standard

& Poors (S&P) recently
upgraded St. Lukes
University
Health
Networks bond rating
to A- stable, up from the
BBB+ positive the
Network had maintained
over the past three
years.
The higher rating
reflects our view of the
more diverse revenue

base, solid operating

performance, and debt
service coverage of St.
Lukes
University
Health
Network,
Jessica Goldman, an
S&P credit analyst said.
While St. Luke's is
issuing additional debt
with the series 2015
bonds ($75 million), we
believe there has been
sufficient balance-sheet
growth in recent periods,
coupled with adequate
income
statement
metrics and business
position that are more in
line with the 'A-' rating,
she said.
Additionally, Moodys,
another credit rating and
research provider, has
maintained its A3 rating
for St. Lukes.
The S & P upgrade is
particularly significant
because many members
of the health care market
currently face a negative
outlook due to regula-

tory and reimbursement

pressures and more.
Agencies have been
much tougher since
2008, Thomas Lichtenwalner, St. Lukes CFO,
said.Standard & Poors
understands the St.
Lukes story. The S&P
upgrade acknowledges
that St. Lukes business
strategy over the last
eight years has been
effective and has created
great opportunities for
future growth.
St. Lukes will issue
the $75 million in bonds
through the Pocono
Mountains
Industrial
Park Authority in the
next week or two. The
new bonds, which also
will carry the A- rating
from S & P and the A3
rating from Moodys,
will
finance
the
networks
seventh
hospital in Stroud Township which is expected
to open in fall 2016.
