THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, January 10, 2020 Page 11 HOCKEY| FROM PAGE 1 ison Square Garden on February 9, 1980, the U.S. team was crushed by the Soviets, 10-3, and things looked rather sad going into the Olympics. In the Olympics in Group Play the Americans started off with the Swedes and gained a two all tie by scoring the tying goal with 27 seconds left on the clock, after pulling goalie Jim Craig. This goal was very important because if all else remained the same, the Soviets would have emerged with the goal medal on goal diff erential in the medal round. The next game was a stunner, a 7-3 victory over Czechoslovakia. The St. Margaret’s now handicapped accessible t. Margaret’s Church in Cliftondale Square is now fully handicapped accessible. The new lift, which was built through the generosity of Saugus Catholics parishioners, the Saugus community and local businesses, is complete. On December 22, prior to the 9:30 a.m. Mass at St. Margaret’s, Fr. Tim Kelleher, pastor of the Saugus Collaborative, was joined in the “fi rst ride” in the elevator by Frances Maher, who will celebrate her 101st birthday this year. Fr. Tim, speaking on behalf of the Saugus Catholics Collaborative, thanked everyone who participated in this major capital campaign. S “The way that this entire community came together to accomplish this goal should be an inspiration to us all. When we began this project, we didn’t know if people would support this eff ort. It would be expensive, it was a big job. It had been talked about many times in the past several years, but was still on our ‘wish’ list,” he said. “And yet, here we are today, with a church building that is open and accessible, ready to welcome anyone who wishes to enter. To the Saugus Catholics community, it is a unique symbol of what we can accomplish when we work together in the Lord. We are now once again able to provide our parishioners with daily Mass at St. Margaret’s on Mondays through Wednesdays, and also funeral services, all of which had to be moved to Blessed Sacrament Church during the lift construction.” 1.

FROM PAGE 11 Americans next reeled off three consecutive wins – Norway 7-3, Romania 7-2 and West Germany 4-2 – to advance to the next round along with Sweden from the same group. The Soviets waltzed through their group, beating Japan 16-0, the Netherlands 17-4, Poland 8-1, Finland 4-2 and Canada 6-4. The Soviets and Finns advanced. The semifi nal game with the Soviets presented a problem to ABC when the game was scheduled for 5:00 p.m. ABC wanted prime time at 8:00 p.m. for a wider audience, but it was not to be. ABC decided not to broadcast the game live but showed it as part of the Olympic coverage during prime time. The reason was that the Soviets complained that the game would be shown in the USSR at 4:00 a.m. rather than 1:00 a.m. In the locker room, Brooks read a statement to his players: “You were to be a player. You were meant to be here. The moment is yours.” The arena was packed with 8,500 fans waving American flags and singing “God Bless America.” The game saw Americans take the lead on a goal by Mike Eruzione, and the Soviets attacked ferociously, and as the fi rst period wound down the coach repeatedly told his HOCKEY| SEE PAGE 12 by Jim Miller Monitoring Solutions for Loved Ones with Dementia Dear Savvy Senior, My husband, who lives at home, has dementia and I worry about him wandering off and not being able to get back. Can you recommend some monitoring technology devices or any other solutions that can help me keep tabs on him? Exhausted Spouse Dear Exhausted, This is a concern for millions of Americans caring for a loved one with dementia at home. About 60 percent of people who suff er from dementia wander at some point, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. For caregivers, this can be frightening because many of those who wander off end up confused and lost, even in their own neighborhood, and are unable to communicate who they are or where they live. Here are some product and service solutions that may help. Simple Solutions For starters, there are a number of simple home modifi - cations you can do to keep your husband from wandering away. Some solutions include adding an extra lock on the top or bottom of the exterior doors out of the line of sight or installing door alarms on the exterior doors that let you know when they’re opened. See AlzStore.com for a variety of product solutions. And, be sure you hide the car keys to keep him from driving. You should also alert your neighbors that your husband may wander so they can keep an eye out and have a recent picture of him on hand to show around the neighborhood or to the police if he does get lost. Monitoring Technology For high-tech solutions, there are a variety of wearable GPS tracking devices available today that can help you keep tabs on him. Some top options to consider include AngelSense (AngelSense.com), which can be attached to clothing or worn around the waist; wristwatches like the Theora Connect (TheoraCare.com) or NurtureWatch (NurtureWatch.com); and the GPS SmartSole (GPSSmartSole.com), which is a shoe insole tracker. All of these products come with smartphone apps that would alert you if your husband were to wander beyond a pre-established safe area and would let you know where to fi nd him if he did. These products (except the GPS SmartSole) also provide two-way voice communication and auto pickup speakerphone so you can talk to him if he does wander off . Locating Services If the previously listed options don’t work for you, there are also locating services – like the MedicAlert + Safe Return program (MedicAlert.org/alz) and Vitals Aware Services (TheVitalsApp.com) – that can help you if he does wander off . The MedicAlert + Safe Return program comes with a personalized ID bracelet that would have your husband’s medical information engraved on it, along with his membership number and the toll-free MedicAlert emergency phone number. If he goes missing, you would call 911 and report it to the local police department who would begin a search, and then report it to MedicAlert. Or, a Good Samaritan or police offi cer may fi nd him and call the MedicAlert number to get him back home. The Vitals Aware Service works a bit diff erently. This is a free app-based network system that comes with a small beacon that your husband would wear. If he did go missing, anyone in the Vitals app network community that came within 80 feet of him would receive an alert and information about him so they could contact you. Another option that could help, depending on where you SNOW BLOWER SALES, SERVICE & REPAIRS Pickup/Delivery Available 781-289-6466 live, is a radio frequency locater service like SafetyNet and Project Lifesaver, which are off ered by some local law enforcement agencies.
