All the Plungers were heroes
and some were Super Heroes —Photos by Alan J. Micklin

Most of the Polar Plungers and event volunteers were
Bucks County residents. Bensalem High School, for instance,
was strongly represented, sending 75 students and teachers
into the water as well as running a bake sale and volunteering
in other ways.

Each brave soul had pledged to raise at least $50 (teams
raised a minimum of $500) to help some 20,000 Pennsylvania
children and adults with intellectual disabilities. Demika
Poole, director of events for Special Olympics, said that
she expected this year’s event to raise over $105,000. Polar
Plunges have raised millions of dollars across the country for
Special Olympics.

Mike Ballentine of Levittown was one of several attendees
in super-hero costumes. He came as The Incredible Hulk and
won 2nd Place in the costume contest. But the green face and
body paint did little to protect him from the icy chill of the
water. “Hulk cold!” he yelled upon staggering ashore. (Mike
is shown on this issue’s cover with his granddaughters.)

The Plunge is always open to the public and all spectators
are welcome free of charge. Rescue personnel are always on
hand in case of medical emergencies.

Tips from Leader Readers

I love guacamole but it turns brown so fast once exposed to the air. It’s still

perfectly fine to eat if you just scrape off the brown layer on top, but it’s

unsightly—especially when you have guests. One solution is to spread a thin

layer of sour cream over the guacamole before sealing the container and putting

it in the fridge. Before serving, just scrape off the sour cream or even stir it

right in. —Ron Klaus / Bristol area

If you find yourself waiting on line somewhere, or in a doctor’s office or train

station, spend a few productive minutes scrolling through the photos on your

smart phone to delete the ones you don’t want. If you’re like me, you have

dozens or even hundreds. Deleting them frees up space on your phone and

helps it work better. —D. Sisler

Worried about some capsules found in your teenager’s room? Not sure about
those leftover pills still in the bathroom cabinet? If you go to a website called
drugs.com you’ll find a “pill identifier” option. You just type in some very
simple info about the pills (color, shape, any visible letters or numbers) and it
can almost always tell you what the pill is. It’s free, by the way.

—Carl Sturdivant / Penndel

Your readers may have heard by now about the “Can you hear me?” telephone

scam. Someone calls you and pretends there’s a bad connection. They’ll ask “can

you hear me?” and then secretly record your voice saying yes. That affirmative

response is then used by the scammer to authorize unwanted charges on a phone

or utility bill or on a purloined credit card. “You say ‘yes,’ it gets recorded

and they say that you have agreed to something,” said Susan Grant, director

of consumer protection for the Consumer Federation of America. “I know that

people think it’s impolite to hang up, but it’s a good strategy.” —G.J.

If you don’t like waking up to find your car doors frozen shut, spray the gaskets

lightly with WD-40 or silicone lubricant. Once every couple of weeks will get

you through the winter. —Frank L. Tindal / 19057

Tromp Along the Towpath

Sunday, February 19th

Tromp along the Delaware Canal towpath on Sunday, February 19. Join
the Friends of the Delaware Canal for a 3-mile snowshoeing or hiking
adventure that will begin at 1 p.m. in the parking lot across from the former
Mountainside Inn in the village of Point Pleasant. The address is 4728 River
Road, New Hope, PA 18938.

The Friends are determined to enjoy a snowy day on the Canal, so this
second Tromp of 2017 has been scheduled. Katie Martens, Delaware Canal
State Park Educator, and Susan Taylor, Executive Director of the Friends,
will lead the way on a scenic round trip trek between the villages of Point
Pleasant and Lumberville. Both places have fascinating histories and the
intriguing Devil’s Half Acre lies midway.

If there is snow on the ground, participants are asked to bring their own
snowshoes. A limited number of snowshoes can be borrowed from the Park
free of charge. Walkers, come snow or no snow, are very welcome. Wearing
waterproof boots and dressing in layers is advisable.

Hot chocolate and cookies will be waiting at the end of the adventure.
The Tromp along the Towpath is free, and will be held weather permitting.
It will be cancelled in the event of rain or dangerous driving conditions.
Check the homepage of www.fodc.org for a Go/No Go message that will be
posted by 8 a.m. on February 19.
For more information about this event, call 215-862-2021, e-mail

Frequently Asked Questions

About Chiropractic

Dr. Michael Gaffin, Fairless Hills Health Center

Q: What conditions do chiropractors treat?

A: Doctors of Chiropractic (DCs) care for patients of all
ages, with a variety of health conditions. DCs are espe-
cially well known for their expertise in caring for patients
with back pain, neck pain and headaches… particularly
with their highly skilled manipulations or chiropractic
adjustments. They also care for patients with a wide range
of injuries and disorders of the musculoskeletal system,
involving the muscles, ligaments and joints. These painful conditions often involve
or impact the nervous system, which can cause referred pain and dysfunction distant
to the region of injury. The benefits of chiropractic care extend to general health is-
sues, as well, since our body structure affects our overall function. DCs also counsel
patients on diet, nutrition, exercise, healthy habits, and occupational and lifestyle
modification.
