They would spend some three days and two nights camping and
hiking and enjoying the incredible scenery. Climbing to over 10,000
feet and often sliding down the snow-covered slopes proved exhilarating. Despite some problems with dehydration and a bout with
some bad chili they cooked up on the trail, things got back on the
right track one night when a beautiful blond rafting guide named
Holly walked into camp and was so taken with their adventure that
she offered to take them down the Snake River in a raft for free. “It
was one sweet ride,” Kevin Goulding recalled. “Luckily, even though
we got wet, the camera stayed dry,” the boys added.
With Todd manning the camera, Dan doing much of the driving
and Kevin providing the majority of the meals (they did often switch
and blend assignments along the way) the Grand Tetons were soon
in the rear view mirror as they pushed on towards the west coast.
In Washington State on Day #27, they finally saw the Pacific
Ocean for the first time. Their initial enthusiasm was only moderately dampened when the over-enthused trio drove their intrepid
vehicle (affectionately christened “Wally”) on to the sands just south
of Rialto Beach and got stuck. A helping hand soon resolved that
small problem and after a short celebration and a beach encampment
for the night, the sojourners decided to rest the vehicle with a ferry
boat ride across the Puget Sound. A meeting at the dock with a
fisherman by the name of “Ray” resulted in the purchase of five
pounds of newly caught salmon which the boys felt would not only
mark the moment, but go a long way to improve on their regular diet
(figured at $2.30 per person, per meal… generally of pasta, eggs,
canned tuna, oatmeal, peanut butter and jelly and the like.) They
were discussing how they would soon light up the small propane
stove they had with them when a friendly passenger felt the need to
jump into the conversation at the mention of “butter and garlic.” As
had happened so often on the trip, soon-to-be new friends, Pete and
Kathy, offered to bring them to their home where the meal would be
properly prepared and shared. A shower and a good night sleep in a
comfortable bed were thrown in for good measure and saw the boys
on the road the next day, shaking their heads over one more example
of the incredible hospitality they had experienced while crossing
this great country.
Despite a small problem at the Canadian border where “Wally
and Co.” failed to slow down on time and took out a few traffic
cones, officials pardoned the offence with a warning and a lighthearted message that they were too tired to have pulled and started
firing their Glock pistols. “Border officials, along with park rangers,
store owners and many others along the way were incredibly friendly
and frequently told us they wished they had done this kind of thing
when they were young,” the boys noted. But the trip was starting to
wear on the three and money and food were running low.

TRAVEL ALERT
It’s GOOD NEWS that the government
now says you must include all taxes &
service fees when quoting a tour or
cruise that includes air flights.
Before this, many travelers merely looked
at the base price when booking through the internet
and thought they were getting the best fare.
Klingerman Travel has never had a service fee
on any cruise or tour booking
Now you can really compare the true cost of
your next cruise or tour that includes air.
Do compare our total cost with the
internet on your next trip.

Hearing loss is the third most prevalent chronic condition in older
Americans, after hypertension and arthritis. Unfortunately there is
also a significant correlation between high blood pressure and hearing loss. Hypertension is an accelerating factor of degeneration of
the hearing mechanism due to aging. Often difficulty hearing on the
phone and television are the first signs of hearing loss. In both of
these situations, the “visual cues”that supplement our ability to
hear are missing.
Recently, a revolutionary new phone has become available and
we are hearing rave reviews from our patients at Thames Hearing
Services! CaptionCall provides amplification and superb sound quality while displaying smooth-scrolling captions of what your callers
say on a large easy-to-read screen. This captioning reinforces your
hearing. A standard home phone line and high-speed internet connection are required to use this phone service.
To qualify for a free CaptionCall phone, contact Thames Hearing Services to obtain certification that you have hearing loss and
experience difficulty on the phone. Presently CaptionCall is part of a
federally funded program for people with hearing loss. The federal
government compensates CaptionCall for providing the captioning
service – no cost is passed on to the user. To take advantage of this
limited-time offer, call Thames Hearing Services at (860)739-1864, to
set up an appointment today.

HEALTH TIPS
from Charter Oak Walk-in Medical Center, P.C.
The Hackers Guide to Cough Medicines -You probably have not
noticed it, but most people cough normally 2 or 3 times an hour. This
is a defense mechanism to clear the airway of debris that may normally
enter the trachea and lungs. That serves you well until it turns into the
hacking, dry cough that keeps you awake at night.
Cigarette smoking or exposure to smoke, as well as asthma or
bronchitis, post nasal drip and other factors can cause a cough. A
cough that won't go away may, rarely, signal a more serious health
problem, such as heart failure, emphysema, cancer or tuberculosis.
Pharmacy shelves are overflowing with cough remedies. But
which of these are even worth a try? Is the cough dry or productive?
Early in a cold, the cough is usually dry, and further coughing seems
to irritate the throat and cause more coughing. A cough suppressant
may be beneficial here, since it is hard to rest if you're coughing all
the time. Later, the cough may become "productive" - that is you may
be bringing up phlegm. This is usually a signal that the cough is on
the way out. It may not be best to use a suppressant now, unless the
cough is keeping you awake.
Antitussives - Cough Suppressants -There are three of them that are
used commonly. The most effective is codeine and is available only
through prescription. It can cause drowsiness and constipation and
can be habit-forming. A better choice is dextromethorphan, which is
usually identified by the letters DM in many preparations. It works
much the same as codeine, but without the narcotic side effects. You
may also find cough syrups that use the only antihistamine that may
help a cough, diphenhydramine, better known as Benadryl. It may
make you tired, and less effective.
What to expect from Expectorants - These may help if you feel
congested but your cough is unable to bring up anything. The only
one now recognized as "safe and effective" by the FDA is guaifenesin
but it may be just as safe and effective to drink a lot of fluids.
What to avoid -Be careful with so-called multi-system cold relievers.
Any product with an antihistamine can make a cough less productive.
Taking a product with both an expectorant and an antihistamine will
do nothing because they tend to counteract each other. Products that
are combinations may not have an effective dose of any single
ingredient.
What to buy - Buy single ingredient products. If you are congested
but dry, get an expectorant. If you have a dry hack keeping you awake,
get a suppressant with dextromethorphan. Generics are as effective
as comparable brand name products and are less expensive. If you are
unsure what products are comparable, ask the pharmacist. Read and
follow the labels on all medicines. One that causes drowsiness should
not be taken while driving. If you are pregnant or nursing, or giving
cough medicines to young children, it's usually best to check with
your doctor first. Don't forget home remedies. Drink plenty of fluids.
Gargle with salt water. Vapo-rub vapors will help loosen a tight cough,
as will peppermint oil or menthol salves rubbed on the chest.
Cough drops - There is no evidence that cough drops which contain
aromatic oils, topical anesthetics and sugar are any better than hard
candy. Sucking on either one probably works more by promoting
saliva flow than any medicinal action. Aromatic oils like wintergreen,
eucalyptus and menthol can also irritate mucous membranes and upset
the stomach.
If a cough persists for longer than a week, see a doctor. It's
probably more than just a cold.

DERM BEA
BEATT
By Debra Miller, M.D.
Put Your Best Face Forward
DEBRA R. MILLER, M.D.
Skin Care For You & Your Family
The Key to Keratoses - Actinic keratosis; it’s the most common skin
lesion I find when examining my patients, and it is a warning signal
for skin cancer. Actinic keratosis is a diagnosis that causes a great
deal of concern in older patients, but there is good news: actinic
keratosis is easily and effectively treated.
What is Actinic keratosis? An actinic keratosis (AK) is a scaly or
crusty bump that arises on the surface of the skin. While the scale
or crust may be horny, dry, and rough, often easier to feel than to
see, the base may be light or dark, tan, pink, red, a combination of
these colors, or the same color as the skin. Sometimes AK’s itch or
can be tender to the touch. AK’s are most likely to appear on exposed skin such as the face, ears, bald scalp, neck, backs of hands
and forearms, and lips. They develop slowly and can become as
large as a quarter of an inch. Once an AK occurs, it may disappear
only to reappear later. AK’s rarely develop alone, and they are often
seen several at a time.
What causes actinic keratosis and what is the danger? Sun exposure is the cause of almost all AK’s. Sun damage to the skin accumulates over time, so an AK may be considered a negative dividend
of a life spent in the sun. Actinic keratosis can be the first step in
the development of skin cancer. It is considered a precursor of
cancer or a pre-cancer. Up to 10 percent of active lesions (e.g.;
those redder and more tender than the rest) will progress to squamous cell carcinomas (SCC). SCC’s are usually not life threatening,
provided they are detected and treated in the early stages. However, if this is not done, SCC’s can grow large and invade the surrounding tissues and, on rare occasions, metastasize or spread to
the internal organs. The presence of AK’s is an indicator that sun
damage has occurred and that any kind of skin cancer – not just
SCC - can develop.
Who is at greatest risk? People who have fair skin, blonde or red
hair, blue, green, or gray eyes are at the greatest risk. Because their
skin has less protective pigment, they are the most susceptible to
sunburn. Even those who are darker-skinned can develop keratoses if they expose themselves to the sun without protection. One
in six people will develop an AK in their lifetime. Older people are
more likely than younger ones to have AK’s, because cumulative
sun exposure increases over time. Keratoses appear even in people
in their early twenties who have spent too much time in the sun with
little or no protection
Treatment of AK’s There are several effective treatments for removing actinic keratoses. Not all keratoses need to be removed. The
decision on whether and how to treat is based on the nature of the
lesion, your age, and your health. Remember, actinic keratosis is a
warning signal of skin cancer. Heed that signal.

History Matters
continued from page 33
They drove day and night for the last three days, each taking turns at
the wheel. When they finally saw those familiar East Lyme landmarks out the window they all admitted to a certain amount of relief
coupled with a fair degree of sadness. “We knew we could probably
never do this again,” Dan Nazzaro concluded, “as college, work and
life would certainly get in the way, but what we learned would last a
lifetime. We learned to accept adversity and roll with the punches.
Being able to deal with life’s ‘bumps in the road’ became the overriding legacy of the trip.”
“We developed a certain scrappiness or feistiness as a result of
the trip and that has helped us all in college and in the job world,”
Kevin Goulding offered.
Todd Whitaker summed it up this way. “There are some absolutely great people out there and this is one great country. I would
encourage people to go out on their own personal journey and find
that out for themselves.”
Note: Information on the film is available at www.northofliberty.com
and there is also a Facebook page. The movie (long or short version)
can be viewed as a YouTube video simply by typing in the title. It
should be noted that Mr. Whitaker is currently taking the film on tour
back “home” in Guatemala. There are also plans for future viewings
in the United States with perhaps a return visit to the very place
where the journey had its beginning.
Library offers delivery
to homebound patrons
The East Lyme Public Library, 39 Society Road, Niantic, recently
announced a new homebound delivery service for the residents of
East Lyme and Niantic who are unable to get to the library due to
physical or medical limitations.
This free service will allow access to any items at the library
including books, magazines, music CDs, audio books, and DVDs.
Deliveries will be made on a monthly basis by library volunteers.
A homebound patron who lives with an able-bodied adult is not
eligible for this service due to the limited number of volunteers.
For more information and to receive an application for the
homebound delivery service, please contact Jean Jones, Head of
Circulation, at the East Lyme Library at 860-739-6926, extension
