Doctor Helps

LEGALLY BLIND to Read & Drive

International Academy of Low Vision Specialists founding member helps macular degeneration sufferers with reading, driving, TV, & maintaining independence.

Visit Offices located in Vancouver, WA & Kirkland, WA Just because you have macular degeneration (or other visionlimiting conditions) doesn’t always mean you must give up driving or reading. Ever look through a pair of field glasses or binoculars? Things look bigger, closer, and easier to see. A Washington optometrist, Dr. Ross Cusic, is using miniaturized binoculars or telescopes to help people who have lost vision from macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy or other eye conditions. “Some of my patients consider me the last stop for people who have vision loss,” said Dr. Cusic, a low vision optometrist who limits his practice to visually impaired patients.

A scene as it might be viewed by a person with age-related macular degeneration

“People don’t know that there are doctors who are very experienced in low vision care.” Dr. Cusic happens to be one of only a few Low Vision Diplomates in the world, from the American Academy of Optometry. “In some states, Bioptic Telescopic Glasses can be

used to pass the vision test for driving,” says Dr. Cusic. “This can allow some with conditions like macular degeneration or diabetic retinopathy to continue driving.” “Our job is to figure out everything and anything possible to keep a person functioning,” says Dr. Cusic. “Whether it’s

driving, reading, TV, seeing faces, check writing, bingo or bridge. We work with whatever is on the person’s ‘wish list.’ As for the cost of glasses, I’ve had patients spend $500 and others spend $4,000. It really depends upon the person’s vision, goals and number of pairs of glasses they get.” Dr. Cusic offers a free telephone interview to determine if low vision glasses will help.

NEW CONSTRUCTION IN SENIOR LIVING IS DESIGNED WITH YOU IN MIND

T’S MID-AFTERNOON AND THE spacious Riverview Room dining area at Willamette View Senior Living has a scattering of guests selecting a late lunch while overlooking the picturesque river scene outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

GRANDVIEW MOUNT ANGEL

Around the corner, the Marketplace offers ready-to-go meals, snacks and drinks. Because no doors or walls separate the Marketplace, there’s a seamless entrance from the carpeted lobby into the store — clearly to make it easier for walkers and wheelchairs to maneuver around. This is a flagship space for Willamette View, a nonprofit senior living

community in Portland, where residents choose both form and function for their advancing years. It’s also indicative of the new construction, design and finishes today’s older adults can expect when they choose to move away from their homes and into dedicated senior housing. Willamette View, for example, recently completed 47 new residences at its 27-acre campus just south of downtown Portland. Central to the design was a desire to be more “planet friendly,” says Mark Hollis, director of sales. “Targeting Net Zero was important to residents, and to staff, who are committed to taking better care of our community.” They’ve incorporated “green” elements, from the sedums planted on the carport roofs, to the appliances and light fixtures. Maintaining — or even upgrading — amenities residents once had in

thefuture their homes is important, says Matt Scheelar, resource manager and corporate marketing director for Mosaic Management, Inc., which opened Boone Ridge Senior Living in 2018. “The thing about Boone Ridge is they wanted to make it an upgraded community for the people who stay there, taking assisted living to the next level,” he says. “Instead of feeling like a hospital, it feels almost like a nice hotel. Its amazing shared areas include a movie theater, dining room and coffee bar.” Boone Ridge overlooks Salem to its north. It features 90 beds for assisted living and 48 beds for memory care. Scheelar says there are comfortable gathering spaces for residents to visit, watch TV and play games. “They have cozy furniture and nice finishes,” he says. There’s a large kitchen on the second floor for happy hour, a movie theater with its own popcorn machine, and furnishings that reflect the earth tones of the Pacific Northwest. He loves the exercise room because “it’s open and airy, with windows to the outside courtyard,” he says. “Typically, an exercise room is an after-thought, but here it’s a showcase item.” Boone Ridge filled up so quickly that Mosaic management has already broken ground on a nearby independent living community that

features condo-style living with a large restaurant and bar, two bowling lanes, a hair salon and even childcare for the employees. The Ackerly at Sherwood is another new assisted living community that opened in 2019. Ken Robertson, vice president of development for Leisure Care, which built The Ackerly, says that “in new design and construction, Leisure Care is attempting to create more modern spaces for the next generation of seniors. This includes a demand for a bistro in the morning and a wine bar in the afternoon and evening.” The company is creating spaces where people can gather, “shifting away from traditional dining hours, and people who want to live a more contemporary modern life,” Robertson says. “It’s getting folks not to stay in their apartment all day, but to get out, meet neighbors and be engaged, providing opportunities for social interaction.” The Ackerly features apartment-style living in a continuum of care that includes both assisted living and memory care. Sean Proper, sales manager, calls it “un-retirement living” and a “cruise ship on land.” That’s because many of the activities are driven by resi-

dents’ interests. “We cater to a younger, independent person,” Proper says. “You can live as independently as you like, but when you need more care, we can get it for you.” This trend hasn’t gone unnoticed by builders and developers across the United States, who report record-high confidence in the 55+ housing market,

according to the National Association of Home Builders. Although confidence in multifamily condos was down slightly at the end of last year, increase in single-family homes bolstered confidence as buyer traffic is expected to increase in the next six months. In Marion County, two alternatives from condo-style living provide single-family homes with country living. Jennifer Fessler is project manager of Grandview Mount Angel, a community of 29 small homes designed to make life easier on the residents. “Your rent covers everything in one payment,” she says. This includes utilities, water, sewer, garbage, electric, high-speed internet, landscaping and appliances. Even more, the homes are located in Mount Angel with sprawling views of hop fields, Table Rock and Mount Hood. “We wanted people to be excited about the option of where they would live next,” Fessler says. “People who had upscale amenities in their homes wouldn’t want to lose out on that. And others who maybe lived in their homes for 30 or 40 years now can live in a new home that has soft-close cabinets, quartz countertops and radiant heat in the bathroom.” For those looking to downsize or at least simplify, a 55+ housing

community in Dallas called Eden Gleann addresses those concerns. “This is a planned unit development that looks like a subdivision to the casual observer,” says Tim Davis, a broker with Windermere Western View Properties working with Fowler Homes, LLC, to sell the detached homes. “This is for those folks who desire to live in the mid-Willamette Valley, with the independent lifestyle of a homeowner living in their own brand-new home built with the amenities that encourage aging-in-place.” This could include minimal steps, open floor plans and low maintenance yards, he says. “Fowler Homes will work with a buyer to ensure that the level of accessibility and aging in place that a resident wants in their home is met,” Davis says. The location in Polk County provides the advantages of a small town with connections to urban necessities, including a hospital, a new senior center, the aquatic center, and three golf courses located within just a few miles of Dallas, “plus many more in the Willamette Valley area for those seeking more distant challenges.” The first five of 56 homes have been built, and additional lots have been set aside for prospective residents who are interested in selecting their own floor plan and amenities. ☸

HEAD SOUTH FOR SUNNY SKIES AND GRAND ADVENTURES

MAGINE THAT ONE PERFECT OREGON summer evening where everything feels just right — you’re outdoors with friends, the sun is slow to set, there’s a gentle breeze and you don’t think about needing a sweater or going inside. You’re happy and relaxed.

It’s not California without some pool time. At Hotel Irvine, you can also enjoy a jacuzzi, cabana and bar.

Mission San Juan Capistrano is a must-stop location.

True California cuisine at Terrace by Mix Mix.

l e v a Tr

That’s how I felt while visiting Orange County in southern California. Everywhere I went felt just like that perfect Oregon day. Orange County is most famous for its Anaheimbased amusement parks, and for good reason. But if you’ve spent the day at Disneyland with the grandkids, spend another day doing some sight-seeing within the county. My visit took me to the master-planned Irvine, fashion-centric Costa Mesa, historic San Juan Capistrano and the lavish beach towns of Laguna Beach and Newport Beach. Here are six reasons you’ll put Orange County at the top of your next travel destination. EASE OF TRAVEL. I recommend flying Alaska Airlines into the OC’s John Wayne Airport, which is small and easy to navigate. Car rentals are available right next to the baggage claim and cars can be picked up directly across the street in a covered garage. You’re just a few minutes to the freeway and within 30 minutes of any destination in the county. Getting around Orange County was easy at almost any time of day. The streets are wide, the freeway traffic flowed surprisingly well, and I had no problems finding my way. LOCATION. Orange County is a suburban paradise nestled between the large cities of Los Angeles and San Diego. It touches both the beaches and the hills yet escapes the headaches of daylong rush-hour traffic. You can just as easily take a nature hike as you can shop at boutiques by today’s top designers. As expected, there are plenty of palm trees and swimming pools. There’s also first-class restaurants, high-adventure outdoor activities, waterways, yacht rides and an opportunity to test drive the sports car of your dreams — Maserati, anyone? Drive the famed Pacific Coast Highway for beautiful views of the California coast and some of the state’s most expensive real estate. Then take a bridge or short ferry ride to Balboa Island, one of the loveliest spots in southern California. HISTORY + ART + FASHION. Orange County’s glitz and glamour doesn’t take the in-your-face approach of other tourist destinations, like the Las Vegas strip. The culture is to be

discovered and savored. Eat at the indoor-outdoor Taco Maria, a Mexican kitchen in Costa Mesa whose chef Carlos Salgado was given a Michelin star. Then wander through cavernous home décor stores and run your fingers along designs from around the world. Later, take in a cultural performance at the dazzling Segerstrom Performing Arts Center, then visit the Avenue of the Arts Hotel across the street. It’s a visual feast in purple — from the massive curtains draping the portico, to the art deco furniture and the outdoor patio. Dine at the Silver Trumpet next door, where you’ll find a complement of more old Hollywood décor in silver, grey and whites. It’s glamorous and affordable. For a good sense of California history, visit San Juan

Capistrano, a delightful small city just a few miles from the coast. You’ll find its casual charm in the walkable streets and shops. On the other side of the train depot, visit the Los Rios District, the oldest residential street in the entire state with homes dating back to the 1700s. Be sure to give yourself a couple hours to visit the mission for an authentic experience where every detail is reminiscent of the mission’s rich legacy, from the dusty paths and lemon trees, to the art gallery and stunning chapel. It’s reverent and thoroughly interesting. CAN’T GET OVER THE FOOD. I’m still dreaming about the pork cheek adobo at Terrace by Mix Mix, included on a chef-driven international menu at the west end of Bridge of Gardens in the impressive South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa. Ask to be seated on the covered terrace under a mix of green plants and beautiful lights, where my dinner included the most flavorful chimichurri rice I’ve ever tasted. Be sure to leave room for dessert. The restaurant is wellknown for its tropical verrine — a coconut panna cotta topped with toasted macadamia nuts and coconut, a scoop of ube/ mango sorbet and a swirl of passion fruit glaze. It’s light, fruity and the perfect complement to your meal. For something quicker, try Krisp, a casual coffee and smoothie bar in Irvine where baristas are true artists — from the creative foam on your hot drink to the imaginatively sliced vegetables on your avocado toast.

Known as a leading tech and life science powerhouse, Irvine surprises with the most low tech open space in Orange County! Artfully manicured office parks are surrounded by more than 16,000 acres of preserved natural habitats and wildlands offering miles of offline hiking, running and biking trails. Connect offline.

A GLASS ELEVATOR. Skip the overpriced hotels near the amusement parks and get a better sense of Orange County in a neighboring city. I stayed at Hotel Irvine, whose owners recently invested millions of dollars in renovations to create an environment where both international and local guests feel welcome. It’s colorful, upscale, friendly and grand. My first night I wandered through a ballroom reception filled with hundreds of brightly-colored saris. Later, I walked past the Red Bar, where everyone was caught up in an OregonUSC football game. While eating dinner at the hotel restaurant, I enjoyed the view onto the patio and outdoor fireplace. The next day, I took advantage of the warm temperatures to wander the backyard and sit in a cabana by the pool. INTERNATIONAL CONTEXT. Everyone knows California is a melting pot of cultures and traditions, and it’s evident in Orange County. One of my favorite ventures was to Diamond Jamboree Plaza in Irvine, a wide collection of Asian restaurants and stores. Want a fruity tea, hot bowl of noodles or Korean barbecue? This shopping area has it all. My favorite was a stop in 85 Degrees, a Tawainese bakery and café with self-serve cakes, breads and other island delights.

HENEVER I VISIT A PLANT NURSERY, MY mood is immediately improved, and I feel really good. I’m excited and giddy and my eyes go rapid fire from one thing to another, taking in the character and beauty of my surroundings. It’s the joy of just being there. Visiting Bosky Dell Natives in West Linn last spring with my plant-loving sister Laura took us to a new level of nursery excitement. Bosky Dell is not just a plant nursery, it’s a woodland wonderland. From the moment we stepped out of the car and walked around the corner, we knew we were in a special place. The soft, spring-green needles on a low growing Hemlock tree perfectly complemented the pink blossoms on a cascading native rose bush. Ferns, wildflowers and other woodland greenery wowed us. Further on, we could see plants in pots with legible signage, but first we had to see more of the gardens. Under the canopy of towering conifers, a gravel pathway meandered about the grounds urging us onward. Artistic vignettes composed of earthy elements such as rocks, mossy stumps, driftwood and plants filled nooks and crannies along the pathway’s edges. And in other areas, vintage rusty plant stands, mossy bird baths and hand painted signs were artfully tucked here and there, never hinting at junky or tacky but instead suggesting the subtle charm of antiquity. We snapped photos left and right.

WALK

Owner Lory Duralia graciously provided the grand tour, including a behind-the-scenes look at her personal garden. I was impressed with the lush, leafy plants that surrounded a pond, providing a home for a family of endangered red legged frogs. She showed us where she hides seeds and nuts for the resident chipmunks in an area that doubles as a holding spot for hollow stumps, logs and snags. Charming structures are well-placed throughout the garden, all trimmed with architectural salvage. Lory is especially

proud of the Owl House where, you guessed it, an owl has claimed the pinnacle. A real thrill on summer evenings. I loved the cluster of sub-alpine firs growing through decaying tree stumps outside the pump house, and the rusty farm implements peeking out from under a verdant carpet of native clover by the Fields Creek Sanctuary. My camera was getting a workout. But Lory is much more than a gifted designer and grower. A tireless advocate, Lory has a deep respect for Oregon’s native flora and fauna and has undertaken many restoration projects around the area. One such project is Fields Creek, which trickles through her property. With others, they have restored it to its natural habitat by eradicating the many invasive plant species and replanting with natives — allowing many of the native fauna to return, including migrating salmon. Spring is the perfect time to visit. And Bosky Dell’s Facebook page provides updates on Lory’s various projects and the new plants she’s got in stock. ☸

gingifer‘s Kitchen By M A RY OW E N

YOU’VE GOT TO TRY THESE SPECIALTY JAMS AND PICKLES

W

HO KNEW THAT CHAMPAGNE AND strawberries on crackers would be such a hit?

But these two flavors have become a best-selling jam, one of many popular flavors blended and sold by Jennifer and Paul “Ginger” Ingram of Gingifer’s Kitchen. “It was one of our first flavors and continues to be a hit,” says Jennifer Ingram. The Ingrams make everything out of their shop in Otis, near Lincoln City, and sell their products at farmers markets, local events, select Oregon stores and online. “Ginger” Ingram is from England and met his wife Jennifer in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. In 2012, they decided to move back to her home state of Oregon. “In 2013, we decided to try turning my hobby of making jams and pickles for friends and family into a business,” Ingram says. “Our first market was in McMinnville that summer.” When they first 14  NORTHWEST 50 PLUS

started their business, the couple rented a kitchen to produce their wares. “Two years ago, we built a kitchen on our property,” she says. “So, our commute is now very short.” Their business name came from friends, Ingram says. “When we first started dating, our friends mashed Jennifer and Ginger together and came up with our couple name, ‘Gingifer,’” she says. “And it stuck.” Online orders can hold up to 12 jars of jam or six jars of pickles for one flat rate. “All of our products are made in small batches with the highest quality ingredients in order to insure the best tasting results possible,” Ingram says. As well as the favorite strawberry and champagne jam, the Ingrams are proud of their savory jams which, they agree, are great on crackers. “We make a ‘blueberry, balsamic and basil’ jam as well as an ‘apricot, rosemary and black pepper’ jam,” Ingram says. “We love them with cheeses or as a glaze on meats. Our bread-and-butter pickles are a hit year-round. Our summer dills and asparagus are very popular and are only available seasonally.” “In the summer we can be found at farmers markets on the central

and northern coast,” Ingram says. “We start off our season at the Salem Saturday market in April. Starting in May, we attend farmers markets in Yachats, Newport, Lincoln City, Neskowin and Manzanita. Our products OTHER JAM FLAVORS INCLUDE: • Maple and bourbon cranberry • Peach and brandy • Tayberry • Strawberry and habanero • Strawberry • Marsala wine and rosemary • Marionberry and habanero • Marionberry and pinot noir • Marionberry and Jack Daniels • Marionberry • Raspberry

can also be found at the Headlands Hotel in Pacific City and at Nestucca Bay Creamery in Cloverdale.” Between November and Christmas, the Ingrams attend several holiday shows. Year round they attend the Newport Farmers Market. “At the moment, our schedule is pretty full,” Ingram says. “It is the two of us making everything and attending the markets. We hope in the future to be able to add an employee to help with production and the markets.” Gingifer’s Kitchen has received “wonderful” feedback from customers, Ingram says. One customer made empanadas with tayberry jam and posted on their Facebook page, “By the grace of God … and Gingifer, we have unlocked the secret to happiness.” Other comments were: “If you’ve never tried a peanut butter sandwich with Marionberry and Red Label Scotch

what is edema ?

By D R. M A R K P E T E R S O N

THE REASONS FOR THIS CONDITION VARY WIDELY

E

DEMA IS THE MEDICAL term for swelling. It means there is extra fluid in the tissue. There are many ways in which the body can retain excess fluid. Dr. Mark One such way is when we have an Peterson injury there will be an inflammatory reaction that contributes to edema. Also, an allergy can certainly activate the inflammatory response and cause edema. The most common source of edema, however, is known as “venous insufficiency.” The veins have a unique system of valves. These valves allow

the blood returning to the heart to flow against gravity. The main driving force of blood in our veins is the compression of our calf muscles on the veins. This is called the “muscle pump.” When we inhale and create negative pressure in our chest, it helps drive the blood in our veins back to the heart. People who have venous insufficiency have poor functioning valves. Heredity is the primary reason for poor functioning valves. Other causes include trauma and issues related to hormonal changes during pregnancy. Veins with dysfunctional valves carry blood downward toward the feet with gravity rather than against it. Over time there is a tremendous increase in pressure of those veins; this pressure forces fluid through the vein wall into the surrounding tissue, causing edema. An additional fluid system in our legs is called the

lymphatics. This is an important part of our immune system and helps filter out germs through the lymph nodes and other lymphatic organs. When you have an injury, it is the lymphatic blockage that slows flow and contributes to swelling. Over time the lymphatics become less blocked or create new channels with improved flow resulting in less edema. In some circumstances, lymphatics are permanently scarred. This is called lymphedema and involves the feet, whereas venous insufficiency, typically, does not. Lastly, another common cause of swelling is the heart not working as an efficient pump. With age, the heart loses some of its ability to stretch and squeeze as well as it should. The walls of the chambers of the heart stiffen up. This can be further aggravated with a heart attack. The lack of pumping ability of the heart leads to fluid backing up and being forced out into the tissue. This is known as congestive heart failure. So, edema can be a complex mixture of several contributing factors: inflammation, venous insufficiency, lymphedema, and congestive heart failure. How can you help alleviate swelling in your feet and legs? The most common two methods are to elevate your legs above the level of your heart and the use of compression stockings. An evaluation by a specialist in vascular medicine can help differentiate which contributing problem is the most responsible and prescribed treatments can help control or even eliminate the edema that may be present. Seek counsel from your health care provider to help define which cause is unique to you and which treatment can best serve you. ☸

Doctor Helps

LEGALLY BLIND to Read & Drive

International Academy of Low Vision Specialists founding member helps macular degeneration sufferers with reading, driving, TV, & maintaining independence.

Visit Offices located in Vancouver, WA & Kirkland, WA Just because you have macular degeneration (or other visionlimiting conditions) doesn’t always mean you must give up driving or reading. Ever look through a pair of field glasses or binoculars? Things look bigger, closer, and easier to see. A Washington optometrist, Dr. Ross Cusic, is using miniaturized binoculars or telescopes to help people who have lost vision from macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy or other eye conditions. “Some of my patients consider me the last stop for people who have vision loss,” said Dr. Cusic, a low vision optometrist who limits his practice to visually impaired patients.

“People don’t know that there are doctors who are very experienced in low vision care.” Dr. Cusic happens to be one of only a few Low Vision Diplomates in the world, from the American Academy of Optometry. “In some states, Bioptic Telescopic Glasses can be

used to pass the vision test for driving,” says Dr. Cusic. “This can allow some with conditions like macular degeneration or diabetic retinopathy to continue driving.” “Our job is to figure out everything and anything possible to keep a person functioning,” says Dr. Cusic. “Whether it’s

driving, reading, TV, seeing faces, check writing, bingo or bridge. We work with whatever is on the person’s ‘wish list.’ As for the cost of glasses, I’ve had patients spend $500 and others spend $4,000. It really depends upon the person’s vision, goals and number of pairs of glasses they get.” Dr. Cusic offers a free telephone interview to determine if low vision glasses will help.
