Living with ALS – We hear from a military veteran

Tens of thousands of Americans deal with the challenges brought on by ALS — Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis — also known as “Lou Gehrig’s Disease”.

Research shows that people who served in the military are at a higher risk of developing ALS, although it is not yet known what causes this trend.

Elizabeth Fassler is one of those veterans living with ALS. She and her friend Shannon McCarthy discuss the disease, treatments and priorities — and how friends, families and caregivers can be most helpful.

Family Life’s “Staycation Destinations” this week takes you to Somewhere Over the Rainbow!….

L. Frank Baum’s hometown — Chittenango, New York — has a claim to fame that draws together everyone from cowardly lions to scarecrows to tin men…. and your little dog too.

Baum wrote the book that inspired the 1939 Judy Garland movie “The Wizard of Oz”.  The “All Things Oz” Museum celebrates that legacy, and a century’s worth of so many more stage, literary and screen versions of the “classic American fairy tale”.

Museum Director Allison Lehr talks about the displays and archives available at this museum, once you step off of the Yellow Brick Road and into the building. Greg Gillispie asks her to talk about why Dorothy and her adventures in the Land of Oz have such a significant place in American culture.  (And it’s not just Americans either — visitors from multiple countries have dropped by this attraction in Madison County of central New York.)

 

The “All Things Oz” Museum has a website and multiple social media outreaches. [www.AllThingsOz.org] Its hours are Wednesday through Sunday, 10 a.m. through 5 p.m.  (The Museum and its Historical Foundation host an annual festival too — Oz-Stravaganza — typically in early June.)

 

   

 

“Staycation Destinations” is our weekly summer series, broadcast each Friday at noon on the radio and online, then posted to our News Podcasts page. Each offers a radio tour of a unique site in Pennsylvania or New York, fairly close to home, fairly inexpensive, and good for a potential day trip or longer visit by individuals, couples, families, friends or church groups.
