Page 18 • November 3, 2017 • Palo Alto Weekly • www.PaloAltoOnline.com Let’s Talk About Home Care. Let’s talk about how high quality, personalized in-home care can help you or a loved one. Home care can keep older adults in their homes. 9 out of 10 of seniors prefer to age in their own homes. Hiring a caregiver provides the extra support an older adult may need to stay where they most prefer: at home. Home care helps seniors stay independent longer. A caregiver provides support with activities of daily living, while encouraging mental and physical stimulation and overall wellness. They also promote safety in the home by preventing falls or other accidents. Home care is personalized to each family. Our care plans at Home Care Assistance are tailored specifically to each client's unique needs and preferences. Caregivers are expertly matched and managed by our client care team. Caregivers are available for a few hours every day or around-the-clock. Home care supports advanced care needs. Our caregivers are experienced and trained to support older adults who are transitioning home from the hospital, recovering from a stroke or a major medical procedure, or managing chronic conditions such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s or diabetes.

10 years ago after she retired. “When I was growing up in Palo Alto, I rode my bike past the club many times and figured it was a game for really old people so I never went near,” said Staf- ford, who now admits that she was mistaken. “Just about any age can play, and you don’t have to be super athletic,” she said. “I love playing because of the wonderful, friendly members and because it gets me out of the house.” Menlo Park resident Tom Dodd calls lawn bowling a game of finesse. “I haven’t played enough — not enough to really get finesse. I like to be competitive; I like to win. But more important here is the ca- maraderie,” said Dodd, who also plays golf and used to play cricket. Joy Guy of Cupertino, who be- came a lawn bowler after learning how to play the game while on vacation in Australia, said it takes about two years to get consistent. “You get a real sense of accom- plishment when you do it right. It takes a lot of practice ... but it feels good,” Guy said. Retired nurse Carrie Chiang, who took up the sport with her husband less than two years ago and now also plays at other Bay Area lawn bowling clubs, includ- ing venues in Sunnyvale, San Jose, San Francisco and Berkeley, said the game can be very dramatic. “The common belief is that lawn bowling does not involve too much exercise, but you have to be in good shape to roll thousands of bowls to become a good bowler,” she said.

The centennial of the Russian Revolution of 1917 serves as the occasion for this lecture, which will recount the broad sweep of events that led to the downfall of the Russian autocracy in the February Revolution and then, eight months later, the storming to power of the Bolshevik Party in the name of the Soviets—an event once celebrated as the Great October Socialist Revolution.

In this lecture, Bertrand Patenaude will assess the role of individual actors on the scene, from the last Romanov Tsars to the first Soviet Commissars, as well as the social forces that propelled the revolution forward despite the efforts of the Provisional Government in Petrograd, the Russian capital, to hold back the tide. Key figures include Tsar Nicholas II, Alexander Kerensky, leader of the Provisional Government, and Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky, the architects of Red October.

Home Front NEIGHBORHOOD SNAPSHOT AMONG THE BEST ... Several Midpeninsula cities made WalletHub’s list of 2017’s Best Small Cities in America. With recently released U.S. Census Bureau data showing that suburban population growth outpaced city growth in 2016, the personal-finance website WalletHub looked at cities offering good quality of life and affordability. WalletHub’s analysts compared more than 1,200 U.S. cities with populations between 25,000 and 100,000 across 33 key indicators of livability. They range from housing costs to school- system quality to restaurants per capita. Both Palo Alto and Los Altos ranked in the 99th percentile for most indicators. Mountain View was in the 95th and Menlo Park was in the 92nd percentile.
