Friday, July 1, 2011FOREVER YOUNG - JULY 2011

You’re about to turn 50 and life is good. The kids are almost out of school,you have more time and money to travel, your life is more your own.

Then one day, you get a letter in the mail. It’s from AARP, inviting you tobecome a member. You can have discounts on travel, meals, and insuranceand find articles on long-term care, preventing falls and keeping your mem-ory sharp. You have become a senior citizen and you don’t even know whenit happened.

We have launched this new monthly magazine, Forever Young, to appeal tothose of us who qualify for AARP by the calendar but who still have a lot ofliving to do. You’ve been loyal readers of Hometown News and we decided tobring together the things that interest you in one package. There will be aseparate section for each of the five counties we serve: Volusia, Brevard, Indi-an River, St. Lucie and Martin.

The Name “Forever Young” resonates with a lot of us. We remember theBob Dylan song fondly. Many of us have note that the singer/songwriter justturned 70. “Parade Magazine reported on May 22 that Neil Diamond, MikeLove and Joan Baez had already turned 70 this year and Charlie Watts, DavidCrosby Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel will soon follow suit. Most of them arestill touring and performing.

It’s going to be a challenge to keep up with you. You-and I- may be over 50,but we have a variety of interests and needs. AARP may offer us member-ships and stores give us discounts at 50, but we sure don’t feel ready to be putout to pasture. Many of us are still working, either through choice or necessi-ty. Some of us are grandparents raising grandchildren.

Also among us are those who have begun dealing with health issues, eitherfor themselves or a loved one. Some of us have started to negotiate the mazeof agencies that deal with Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Some ofus are in the “sandwich” situation, with children in college and older parentswho need a lot of care. Many of us have dealt with the loss of a spouse.

Those of us 50 and over have a huge presence in our area. The numbersbelow tell the story. We represent a wealth of experience, knowledge andbuying power. We are a resource that serves the public as volunteers for themany not-for –profit organizations in these five counties.

We want Forever Young to represent and reflect you and your interests. We

hope that you will tell us what you like and what you don’t like about our newventure. Tell us what you’d like to read about. Are you interested in factualmaterial about health, insurance and other topics or more interested in sto-ries that highlight the lighter side of life. Perhaps you’d like a combination ofthe serious and the fun. Please let us know.

Hello Friends,

We hope you are enjoying this firstissue of “Forever Young.”

This monthly publication came tobe after the staff at Hometown Newsdiscussed some of the journalisticneeds of our local communities. Aswe reviewed what was going on inSouth/Central Florida we realizedthat the fastest-growing segment ofthe population, the 50-year-old-plus

crowd — or Boomers — was notbeing well-served.

There are plenty of nonprofit, com-munity service, charitable and social

organizations out there serving thisactive, affluent and growing popula-tion, but there weren’t many places togo to read or learn about them.

Why do we get a letter from theAARP as we near our 50th birthdays?What health, financial and otherissues do we need to start makingplans for? What are some of the issueswe will be dealing with for those of usthat have parents we are helping?

What services are out there to helpus in dealing with these new situa-tions we are about to encounter?

As us Boomers — I’m one, too —enter this new chapter of our lifemany issues, challenges and thoughtsarise. “Forever Young” will be the localpublication to help resolve andanswer some of these questions.

Boomers and seniors will now havea locally owned, operated and pro-duced publication to help guide usinto and through this new adventure.

We have contacted nearly all of theorganizations and associations in thefive counties we serve, to let themknow that they now have a publica-tion ready to let the Boomers theyserve know what is available to them.

If we have missed your organiza-tion, please contact us and send inyour information.

“Forever Young” is targeted to theactive, affluent and mobile residentslooking to make the most out of thisnew chapter of their lives.

As with all of the 13 local HometownNews publications we produce alonga 200-mile stretch of Florida’s eastcoast, Forever Young will welcome allof your news relating to this fun-seek-ing active crowd. “Forever Young”will also be available for home deliv-ery. Simply call your local HTN officeand sign up for a free subscriptionthat will be delivered once a monthalong with your weekly HometownNews. Copies will also be available athundreds of locations throughout ourcoverage area.

Please let us know what you thinkand what you would like to see cov-ered each month. “Forever Young”will be a work in progress and we’dlike your input. We plan on publish-ing as long as there are Boomers inFlorida. So I guess we will be aroundfor a long time.

Enjoy your first issue, thank you forbeing a part of the newest addition tothe Hometown News family.

Steven E. Erlanger is the publisherand COO of Hometown News and For-ever Young.

Art challengesnonagenarian to stay busy

SEBASTIAN - The past 90 years ofWeldon Stout's life have broughtmany changes, but one thing hasstayed constant: his love of creatingart.

"I don't remember a time when Iwas not doing art," the nonagenari-an said.

After showing promise as an artistas a child and during his teen years,he studied at an art institute inMaryland and never looked back.

Painting with oils on canvas,drawing and creating stained-glasspieces are not the only art formsMr. Stout has tried during his adultlife; he incorporated his art skillswith his engineering mind todesign controls and displays forcockpits while working for anaviation company before moving toFlorida.

He retired to Sebastian in 1987and decided to design his homeand studio to feature his love of art.

"I like to do things large," Mr.Stout said.

Breathtakingly beautiful stained-glass windows, sliding glass doorsand shower doors adorn variousrooms in his home, as do oil paint-ings of various sizes.

"I love what I do and I enjoy myday. I guess that's why I've lived solong," Mr. Stout said chuckling.

He had to give up stained glass afew years ago because it caused toomuch stress on his back, but feelsquite fulfilled with painting.

"There is always something topaint. It's all around you. Everyplace you look there is alwayssomething," Mr. Stout said.

Some of his favorite subjects topaint are the palms that are plenti-ful in Indian River County.

"I go and take pictures of what I

want to paint and then I pump inthe colors that I see in the shad-ows," Mr. Stout said.

Several years ago, Mr. Stoutopened up another room in hisstudio for his good friend, QuentinWalter.

Ms. Walter's art is much differentthan his own, and is more concep-tual than his own, Mr. Stout said.

"She's very different, very fast,much faster than I am. She's like aspark plug," he said.

Ms. Walter's enthusiasm prodsMr. Stout to continue working onhis own projects.

"Everything seems to have apurpose in my life. I see my artevolving, always growing. It moves,it grows and I don't ever want tostop learning," Mr. Stout said.

"I wake up in the morning andcan't wait to go to work," he said.

"He rocks for his age, doesn't he?"Ms. Walter said.

Mr. Stout will host an open houseand open studio on May 15 from 5p.m. to 8 p.m.

Oil paintings by Mr. Stout and Ms.Walter's newest pieces from herdeer series will be featured, andolder works by Mr. Stout, includingstained-glass work, will be availablefor viewing, as well.

For more information about theopen house, contact Mr. Stout at(772) 589-8826.

When searching for a retirementcommunity, retirees often place anemphasis on fun. And that's per-fectly understandable, as retireeshave worked their entire lives andearned the right to relax and enjoythemselves however they maychoose. Gadsden- Etowah County,Alabama could be the hidden gemretirees are searching for.

But the right retirement fit isn'tentirely about fun. In fact, retireestypically look for a place thatcombines fun with a number ofother factors. The Gadsden-EtowahCounty area excels in these impor-tant factors.

* Health services. While thoseabout to retire might enjoy excel-lent health, it is important to find acommunity that can cater toexisting and future health careneeds. This means finding a placethat offers a variety of competentphysicians from primary care tospecialists. Typically, when ade-quate doctors are present, localhospitals or medical centers havelocated and expanded in thecity/county. Etowah County hastwo regional medical centers:Gadsden Regional Medical Center,a 346 bed facility, and RiverviewRegional Medical Center with 280beds. These two centers and theirassociated physicians and medicalservices not only serve the 104,000plus residents of Etowah Countybut draw patients from the six lesspopulated counties adjacent to ornearby. Both medical centersprovide cardiovascular/thoracicsurgery, cancer diagnosis andtreatment, orthopedics, neurology,gastroenterology, ophthalmologyand extensive and intensive carefor basically all types of disordersor injuries. Over 200 physicians,including most specialties and sub-specialties, are actively practicingmedicine in the county.

* Accessibility. When choosing aretirement community, mostretirees are interested in whetherthe chosen city/county is accessi-ble to family and friends. Often-times, this means within closeproximity to a major city and anairport. When searching for your

ideal location, look for one thatoffers the peace and quiet of asmall to medium town but theaccoutrements of city life as well.The closer a retirement communityis to a major city and airport, themore frequent the visits fromchildren and grandchildren arelikely to be. The Gadsden/EtowahCounty community is located 55miles from Birmingham, 120 milesfrom Atlanta and 92 miles fromChattanooga. I-59 runs throughthe county, I-20 is less than 35miles from the southeastern part ofthe county, I-75 is only 50 milesaway and I-24 is less than 90 milesaway.

* Culture/Entertainment. Mostretirees find that retirement lifetakes an adjustment. In fact, after alifetime spent working, retireesmight find retirement a bit boring.But retirement doesn't have to beboring and retirement communi-ties don't have to be sleepy. TheGadsden/Etowah County areacombines the different charms ofits 12 incorporated municipalities,all different sizes and with theirown uniqueness, and with culturalfacilities and programs of manylarger cities. With over one hundredthousand residents, Etowah Countyis the ideal location for retireeslooking to leave the hustle andbustle but still have access to thepositives of big city life. Thanks tothe Gadsden Museum of Art &History, citizens and visitors canenjoy an extensive and permanentcollection of paintings, sculpturesand prints, spanning the history ofSouthern art and artists. And withrotating exhibitions of local andregional artists, the museumensures retirees can enjoy all of theart, both historical and contempo-rary, the region has to offer.

For those looking for live enter-tainment, Downtown Gadsden Inc.hosts entertainers, special events,sales, and First Friday of eachmonth (a large multi-block party).At the Mary Hardin Center forCultural Arts, retirees can enjoycourtyard concerts, exhibitions tiedto art, athletics, dance, and more.Imagination Place located in theCenter for Cultural Arts touches the

lives of thousands of children eachyear with programs, exhibitionsand educational outreach.

* The Great Outdoors. After a lifespent working, indoors or out-doors, many retirees look for acommunity that allows them to"play outdoors." There are fourpublic golf courses in the EtowahCounty area, all within a 25-mileradius. Each allows membership forthe serious golfer or reasonablegreen fees for those who play lessfrequently.

The Coosa River winds throughGadsden, Southside, Rainbow City,

Hokes Bluff and Glencoe, allEtowah County municipalities. Onspring, summer or fall weekends,the river and its adjoining lakes arealive with all types of watercraftincluding fishing, ski and pontoonboats plus jet skis. The winters aretypically mild and last no longerthan three months, rarely experi-encing an extended cold snap (twoweeks or more).

There's no longer a magic number for retirement.Some people find that they want to work past thetraditional retirement age, while others discoverthey need to. In addition, some retirees discoverthat they actually liked working and want to returnto work rather than settle into retirement.

Sixty-five is no longer the required age to stopworking. In fact, many people are foregoing retire-ment and staying with the workforce. Why? No sin-gle reason applies to everyone, but finances oftencome into play.

Thanks to a troubled economy that has carriedover into the workplace, pensions and severancepackages are no longer the norm for retiring work-ers. When faced with the prospect of reduced fundsand dwindling Social Security benefits, manychoose to simply keep on working. Furthermore,individuals who retire before 65 are often facedwith finding their own health insurance plansbecause Medicare doesn't start until age 65. Even

still, high prescription costs for chronic conditionscan exceed the allowance of Medicare. Employeeinsurance plans tend to have better options, andthat often factors into an employee's retirementdecision.

There are many people who continue workingbecause they actually enjoy it, and not because ofsome financial necessity.

Working tends to keep the mind sharp and helpsseniors feel like contributing members of society.According to a study conducted by the AmericanPsychiatric Association, retirees who continued towork in a bridge job (meaning part time or tempo-rary employment) experienced fewer major dis-eases and fewer functional limitations than thosewho fully retired. Researchers considered onlyphysician-diagnosed health problems, such as highblood pressure, diabetes, cancer, lung disease,heart disease, stroke and psychiatric problems.

Those thinking of remaining in the work forcecan check with employers to see if retirement ismandatory or voluntary. Seniors re-entering theworkforce may want to brush up on some skills andreconnect with former employers or colleagues to

make the transition easier. Here are some otherstrategies to consider.

* Refurbish your resume. Focus on what thingsyou can do rather than what you did in the past.You may be up against younger applicants and willhave to make a case for your hire.

* Be flexible. You may need health benefits moreso than a high salary. You can work with an employ-er to develop a compensation package that ismutually beneficial.

* Develop computer skills. Today's work environ-ment relies heavily on computer skills. It is unwisefor you to think you'll get by on experience alone.Obtain a rudimentary education in computerusage and common office programs, which can setyou apart from other older applicants.

* Know there's nothing to prove. Retirees havethe benefit of taking their time and finding theright fit in a post-retirement job. Unless money isan issue, shop around until you find the job thatappeals to you, even if it's part-time or for a lowersalary.

Working after retirementMetrocreativeconnectionFor Hometown News



Personal interactions keep man working after retirement

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY - FrankPascarelli has only worked for twocompanies in his entire life and hegives them everything he's got.

Mr. Pascarelli, 78, who lives inIndian River Estates, definitely fitsin with the active senior communi-ty lifestyle and works six days aweek just because he can.

His job as a salesman at Linus-Cadillac-Buick-Pontiac-GMC inVero Beach offers him the opportu-nity to interact with people everyday, something the psychologymajor loves.

Mr. Pascarelli and his wife of 56years, Nancy, moved to Floridanearly 20 years ago after he retiredfrom working up the ranks for Searsfor 38 years in the New York andNew Jersey area.

"We went to Florida on ourhoneymoon with Nancy's $500 toMiami for six days, and then wewent back and I started at Sears asa trainee and moved up the ladder,"Mr. Pascarelli said.

From their honeymoon experi-ence, the Pascarelli's knew theywanted to retire to Florida, so whenthe time came, they packed theirbags and headed south.

He took up golf for about a year,but the relaxed lifestyle was not agood fit.

"I worked on a resume before Ileft Sears," Mr. Pascarelli said.

So one day he decided to stop inthe local Cadillac dealership to seeif they had any openings, but hewas told nothing was available.

"I got home and the phone rangand they said 'Frank, can you starttomorrow?' And here I am 17 yearslater," he said with a smile.

In recognition of his excellence insales and customer service, Mr.Pascarelli has received the GMMark of Excellence ring, and has

won the award for eight yearsrunning, earning him a new dia-mond for the ring each year.

Though he has fully earned thebling, Mr. Pascarelli hasn't eversent the ring back to get the dia-monds inserted.

"Every year they tell me to send itback, but I always say no, becauseit's an expensive ring and I don'twant anything to happen to it,"

said Mr. Pascarelli, who wears thering proudly.

"Not a day goes by that a cus-tomer doesn't come in here and askfor Frank," said Casper Maier, salesmanager.

The relationship that he buildswith his customers keeps themcoming back, Mr. Maier said.

In his downtime, which isn'tmuch for the dedication he shows

to his work, he and his wife playbridge with friends. Being withpeople is his favorite pastime, andit's one reason he loves his job somuch.

"I enjoy working with people, Ireally do. When I do retire, I amgoing to work with young people.There's a great sense of satisfactionin that," Mr. Pascarelli said.

Award-winnerSeniors using Internetbanking more often

One of the fastest-growing usersof online banking is the seniordemographic. Why the increase?According to seniors, it's largely dueto convenience.

A 2006 Harris Poll discovered thatabout 14 million seniors are nowactively online. Whether they'reusing the Internet to e-mail friendsand family, or engage in additionalsocial interactions online, the num-bers continue to climb.

An increasingly popular onlinetool for seniors is online banking.Many are finding that paying billsand managing funds via the com-puter is more convenient for thisolder demographic, especially forthose with limited mobility.

Online banking enables seniors toreview their accounts, transfermoney, pay bills, and generally stayon top of their finances withouthaving to leave the house. This is abig advantage to individuals whoworry about traveling to and frombank branches. Combined withdirect deposit from social securityand pension checks, online bankingis ideal for computer-savvy seniors.

While online banking can beadvantageous, seniors should beaware of some of the safety precau-tions that should be instituted whentransferring information via the

Internet.* Make sure you use a security-

enhanced banking site that workshard to prevent hackers fromaccessing your information. If a siteis secured, it will generally show a"lock" icon at the bottom of the Webpage.

* Reputable financial institutionswill not ask you to provide personalinformation, such as social securitynumbers via e-mail. If you receivean unsolicited e-mail from a bank,call up your branch to ensure it'svalid before responding. This iscalled "phishing." Phishing scamsfrequently target seniors with "banknotices" or official looking "govern-ment documents."

* Many home computer setupsfeature a wireless router. If you don'thave a passcode on your router,other people in the vicinity can tapinto your signal and use it free. Theyalso may be able to hack into yourcomputer and see your privateinformation. As a precaution,always lock your router.

* Do not store account numbers,login information or passwords nextto the computer. This makes it easi-er for your information to beaccessed should someone breakinto your home.

* Opt for e-mailed statements andbanking record-keeping. This elimi-nates paper statements that can be

Many people look forward to the warm weather, particu-larly senior citizens. Spending time outdoors can be healthyand refreshing, but seniors exposed to too much sun andheat could be at risk medically.

Each year exposure to high temperatures and humidityleads to hundreds of deaths across the country. Seniors com-prise a large percentage of heat-related illnesses and deaths.Seniors have a harder time adjusting to extreme tempera-tures than younger adults, which puts them at risk. Also, cer-tain pre-existing medical conditions and medications couldmake older individuals more susceptible to heat-related ill-ness.

One of the factors contributing to seniors' risk of healthimplications from hot weather is their loss of the sensationof thirst as they grow older. Without the desire to drink regu-larly, individuals could become dehydrated very easily. This,factored in with changes in body temperature regulation,can result in confusion, falls and other preventable adverseeffects.

Safety is of utmost concern during the warm weather. Donot take any situation lightly because it could impact one'shealth. Here are some precautions to follow.

* Move slowly: Rushing around in hot weather can causebody temperature to rise more quickly and make you even

hotter. Slow down when it is warm and do plenty of relaxing.* Know the ambient temperature indoors: The heat inside

can quickly rise. Keep curtains and blinds drawn to reducethe amount of heat from the sun. Check the thermostat tofind out the temperature. If you have an air conditioner orfan, turn it on to cool down the house if the temperature iscreeping above 85 F. Otherwise, seek a cooler location untilyour home cools down.

* Drink plenty of fluids: Beverages such as water, fruitjuices, decaffeinated teas and the like can keep you hydratedand in top form. Avoid alcoholic beverages, soft drinks andcaffeinated products.

* Skip hot, heavy meals: Opt for cooler fare, such as coldsandwiches, fruit and salads, to keep your body temperaturecooler.

* Plan outdoor activities during cooler hours: If you mustspend time outdoors, do so early in the morning or in theevening when the temperatures are bound to be lower andless taxing.

* Indulge in a little "cooling off": Take a dip in a neighbor-hood pool or treat yourself to an ice cream sundae. Do whatyou need to stay cool.

* Don't ignore signs of health problems: If you feel dizzy,have shortness of breath, have stopped sweating, or confu-sion, it could be heat exhaustion. Call for medical helpimmediately.

Seniors can enjoy summertime safelyMetrocreativeconnectionFor Hometown News stolen from the mailbox.

* Use caution when using a debitcard or credit card online to makepurchases. Only buy from reputableretailers. Ensure that your cardcompany does not hold youresponsible for fraudulent purchas-es.

* Only use trusted sources to trou-bleshoot computer problems. Whilemany computer techs are honestand reliable, there are others whoaren't. If a tech asks for "remoteaccess" to your computer, he or shecan then access any information onyour machine, so "remote access"might be a bad idea.

* Be wary of people you meet onsocial networking sites or anyonecommunicating online. It's betterto be safe than sorry. Scam artistsmake their living by building trust.Seniors tend to be more trustingthan younger adults, especially sen-iors who may have lost a spouseand are looking for companionship.

Medicare -- do you know what you need to know?One of the hottest issues in Florida this summer

is Medicare and its future. Much has been saidalready, but oddly, some aspects of the propos-

als seem to have almost disappeared from thediscussion.

For example, if you think the current debate isonly about a plan by House Budget Chairman PaulRyan, R-WI – or if you think the debate only affectsthose 55 and younger – think again.

Older Floridians are just now realizing that somein Congress are really serious about imposingharmful cuts on Medicare and Social Security aspart of a political deal to pay the nation’s bills – cutsthat could end up shifting the spiraling cost ofhealth care onto older people and put at risk thebedrock guarantee of a foundation for secureretirement that Social Security has offered for 75years.

For example, many older Floridians have alreadyreacted with dismay to the U.S. House’s vote for aplan by House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan, R-WI,that would turn Medicare into a private insuranceprogram. Americans younger than 55 wouldreceive limited government “premium support” tohelp pay premiums. Many people recognize thatas their health costs spiral, the proposed “support”

would not keep pace, shifting massive costs fromthe government to their wallets.

Since Americans 65+ already pay 30 percent oftheir income for health care, this indeed would bea scary proposition. It is worth noting that Rep.Ryan’s proposal has been defeated in a Senate vote.Technically, it is no longer a “live” legislativeproposal.

Yet many older Floridians may not have realizedthat other proposals now under considerationcould also have profound implications for today’sMedicare’s beneficiaries.

To cite one example among many, several plansnow under discussion in the Senate includeproposals for arbitrary limits in federal spending.Under these arbitrary-limit plans, if federal spend-ing goes over a certain fixed limit, the governmentwould be forced to impose across-the-board cuts.

Most such plans call for cuts for everyone inMedicare as part of an arbitrary spending limit.(Such a provision was included in the Ryan budgetplan, for example.)

So if a limit went into effect, the resulting across-the-board cuts could reduce physician or hospitalreimbursements for all in Medicare, even thosereceiving benefits today. You may not want to

believe that your doctor might be forced to turnyou away if you became ill. But your doctor maysimply have no other choice – he or she may not befinancially able to treat you.

If you’re ill, you need to be able to see yourdoctor – not be forced to scramble for alternativecare because Washington can’t wring the waste outof federal spending.

Some versions of Congressional proposals eventarget Social Security for arbitrary cuts. Youactually could see your Social Security check shrinkbecause Congress has not weeded out waste andfraud and kept spending below the arbitrary limit.

As the national discussion over reducing ourbudget deficit goes forward, it is very importantthat you raise your voice in this debate. Call 1-888-722-8514 to be connected to your member ofCongress toll-free and urge them to protectMedicare and Social Security.

No one disputes that deficit reduction is veryimportant. But older Floridians worked a lifetimefor the benefits they receive. They deserve to beable to count on them.

A quarter-million Floridians age 65-plus will bite into Medicare’s ‘doughnut hole’ in 2011

It’s not a treat. The “doughnut hole” isanother name for the coverage gap inMedicare’s Part D prescription drugbenefit. Medicare, the federal healthinsurance program for people 65 andolder and for some younger personswith disabilities, offers coverage to helppeople pay for their prescription drugs.

Once you’ve had $2,840 in covereddrug expenses in 2011, Medicare Part Ddrug coverage stops and you must payfor your prescriptions out of pocket.Coverage resumes once you’ve had$4,550 in covered expenses.

Today, Part D is sweeter than it usedto be. Before the health care law wasenacted, you paid the full price for yourdrugs when you fell into the doughnuthole.

Because of the 2010 health care law,those who reach the doughnut hole in2011 will receive a 50-percent discount

on brand-name prescriptions and 7-percent savings on generic drugs. Dis-counts may vary depending on the typeof Part D plan you are enrolled in.

According to the U.S. Department ofHealth and Human Services, since Janu-ary almost 50,000 Floridians have bene-fited from prescription discounts. Thesesavings will keep growing until 2020when the doughnut hole disappears.

Don’t wait until you fall into thedoughnut hole to save money. Exploreyour options today.

1. Talk to your doctor. Ask if there areany generic drugs that can treat yourhealth condition(s). Find out whatlifestyle changes you need to make.

2. If you get your prescriptionsthrough Medicare, you can use AARP’sonline Doughnut Hole Calculator atwww.aarp.org/doughnuthole to findways to delay falling into the doughnut

hole. The calculator provides a list oflow cost medications; share this listwith your doctor.

3. If you are not on Medicare, use theDrug Savings Tool,www.aarp.org/drugsavings. It providesConsumer Reports data about brandname and generic drugs, which may bejust as safe and effective and may saveyou money as well.

Golden years are turning intogreen years

The adage, "you can't teach an olddog new tricks" is apparently amisconception. When you considerhow many people of the seniordemographic are continually tryingnew things, such as making greenchanges to their lifestyle, it wouldseem that change is possible nomatter a person's age.

The green movement in the mediatends to be skewed toward theyounger demographic. However,plenty of older individuals aremaking strides to adopt earth-friendly changes and spread theword about helping the environ-ment. Seniors comprise a consider-able chunk of the population. Forinstance, nearly 13 percent of theUnited States. is over the age of 65.Also, with high numbers of seniorsretired or working minimal hours,they are a demographic that has alot of time to devote to going green.

Seniors are not new to the issuesof going green. Many grew up duringthe Great Depression, when recy-cling and reusing were par for thecourse. However, doing so back thenwas a necessity rather than a wide-spread social movement. Seniors arealso less reticent to go withoutmodern conveniences that may domore to hurt the planet than protectit. They are used to walking orbicycling to get around. And theconcept of hopping on a train or businstead of driving individual cars issomething many embrace.

Retailers, housing developers andother business-minded individualsare finding that it pays to target thesenior market in terms of goinggreen. This demographic that grewup on being frugal finds manybenefits to incorporating greenconcepts into their lifestyle.

A popular housing builder and

Harris Interactive polled BabyBoomers ages 45 to 62 in 2008 abouttheir interest in the environment.Some findings include:

* 94 percent of Boomers had takensteps in the last 6 months to gogreen.

* 79 percent wanted to do more toreduce their carbon footprint.

* 81percent were concerned aboutwhat type of world they're leavingfor their grandchildren.

* 25 percent said that a greenhouse is one of the smartest invest-ments a person can make.

With that in mind, here are someways seniors can make environmen-tally friendly changes around thehouse in an effort to both savemoney and help the planet.

- Look for a retirement communityor assisted living facility that boastsgreen practices. It has becomecommonplace for these communi-ties to use solar panels to harnessenergy and green building materialsto compromise the majority of thestructure.

- Beef up insulation and weather-stripping. Replace drafty windowsand doors to save considerably onheating and cooling costs.

- Consider using low VOC paintsand carpets made of organic materi-als. Fewer chemicals in the air makefor a safer living environment andworld.

- A high-efficiency dishwashermay use less water than washingdishes by hand. Wait until thedishwasher is full before running aload.

- Now is the time to upgrade toenergy-efficient appliances to useless energy and save money in thelong run.

- Go yard sale shopping. Furnishthe home with items that may besomeone else's trash but yourtreasure. You will limit the numberof things that end up in landfills

Many mothers apparently take to heart that old adage, ‘A son isa son ‘til he takes him a wife, but a daughter’s a daughter all of herlife.’”

A new national survey sponsored by Senior Helpers, an in-home provider of senior care, asked mothers of both sons anddaughters with whom they would prefer to live if they could notlive alone. Not surprisingly, 94 percent of those surveyed wouldprefer living in their home to living with children of either genderor in a facility of any kind.

Seventy percent of the mothers polled said they would chooseto move in with their daughters and most felt their daughter wouldtake better care of them than their sons would. They also believedthat their daughters would be more likely to want them to move in.

Interestingly enough, the survey indicated that fathers weremore positive about living with their sons than mothers were.They were evenly split about where they wanted to live, with 52percent of father preferring to live with daughters and 48 percentof fathers choosing sons.

Older parents are optimistic about the care their adult childrenw ill provide as they age.

Nearly 80 percent of those surveyed say their children will takeas good care of them as they took of their own parents. Almost 70percent said their children would pay out of their own funds tocare for them.

Job opportunities abound for seniors

At one point in the 2008 Oscar-nominated film "Frost/Nixon," former Presi-dent Richard Nixon, played by Frank Langella, says, "Retired people are themost bored people in the world." While some retirees might scoff at thatremark, others no doubt agree there's an element of truth to it.

Perhaps boredom is one reason many seniors continue to work past retire-ment age. According to the Congressional Research Service (CRS), 47 percentof male seniors and 34 percent of female seniors were employed in 2007. Thatthose figures were from 2007 is significant, as it indicates this was before theeconomic downturn of 2008-09, a consequence of which was more seniorsreturning to the workforce.

For many seniors, though, working isn't simply a means to earn money. Infact, seniors who continued working past the age of 70 earned an average ofjust $20,000 in 2007. Seniors also tend to work to have something to do. Forseniors looking to do just that, there are a host of employment or even volun-teer opportunities that can help seniors stay busy and possibly put a littleextra money in their pockets.

* Local park service. Many local park services hire seniors to help keep theparks clean. These are often seasonal opportunities, making them ideal forseniors who live in different cities depending on the seasons.

* Golf course. Golf courses are other seasonal businesses, at least in much of

the country, that also boast lots of part-time opportunities for seniors. Forexample, golf courses need rangers, who ensure all golfers play by the rulesand respect the course, and even maintenance staff, who do everything fromcut the grass to maintaining gardens. These can also pull double duty, provid-ing seniors with daily exercise to help them stay healthy.

* Volunteer. Many programs that help indigent citizens get by every day wel-come seniors as volunteers. Meal delivery services and other programs thatcater to the sick are often in need of a helping hand.

* School systems. Local school districts also have volunteer opportunitiesthat can be ideal for seniors. Positions such as crossing guard or even helpingout with the local athletic teams don't require much of a commitment and canbe rewarding and fun for seniors.

* Consultant work. Seniors who miss the thrill of business don't have to giveit up completely simply because they're retired. Many seniors earn a hand-some amount of money by working as consultants, using their vast experienceto help the next generation. What's more, consultants often work on their ownschedule, an ideal situation for seniors with a passion for business but anequal passion for the positives of retirement.

* Library. Libraries might not be as popular as they once were, but many arestill going strong, and some even use volunteers and part-time employees tokeep their operations running smoothly. Many libraries prefer hiring seniorsthanks to their reliability and good attitude.

VERO BEACH-The Senior Resource Associ-ation, formerly known as the Council onAging, provides a variety of programs andactivities for senior in the community andneeds volunteers for many of them.

Many of the volunteers for non-profitgroups are seasonal residents. When theyleave, there is an urgent need for others tohelp.

The Retired and Senior Volunteer pro-gram, known as RSVP, is the only one-stopplacement service in Indian River County thatserves volunteers 55 and over. This programmatches the volunteer’s skills and experiencewith the needs of local nonprofits, schools orcommunity projects.

One of the best-known programs forwhich RSVP seeks volunteers is Meals onWheels. The Senior Resource Association pro-vides a hot, nutritious noon-time meal and adaily visit to 220 homebound seniors unableto shop or prepare meals for themselves.

The program is critical to those it serves,but it is as important to the volunteers.

“Delivering for Meals on Wheels is thehighlight f my week, said volunteer Tom Hen-dricks. “My recipients are delightful peoplethat just need a little helping hand to getthrough their day.

“As a volunteer, I provide a smile, kindwords, a helping hand and a hot meal. Mostimportantly, I keep a watchful eye on my sen-iors. As a result, I get a warm feeling ofaccomplishment and self-satisfaction, know-ing that I have given something back by help-ing others.”

Seniors often find out about servicesavailable to them through a case manage-ment assessment. Trained staff members canhelp older residents and caregivers determinewhat services are available. SRA manages theonly Adult Day Care facilities in Indian RiverCounty and in-home help is also available.

For those looking for recreational activi-ties, the two community centers offer live bigband music and dancing; bridge and cards;board games; fitness and wellness classes;painting and crafts classes; line dancing; andZumba. It’s a place to gather meet and havefun.

munity," Mr. Draper said.In matters that concern water,

land or wildlife conservation, Mr.Baker is right there and involved100 percent, he said.

"He is steadfast, resilient and heepitomizes the standards we lookfor in volunteer leadership," Mr.Draper said.

"He really stood out in the wholecountry. This is the highest awardfor an Audubon leader," he said.

Mr. Baker and his wife, Juanita, aprofessor at Florida Institute ofTechnology, live in a wooded area ofSebastian, in a house they designedand built on a piece of propertyalong the St. Sebastian River closeto the St. Sebastian River PreserveState Park.

The home is carefully designed toleave the smallest footprint and wasbuilt to minimize impact on thesurrounding trees and brush, thenatural habitat of many creatures,Mr. Baker said.

Their lawn has virtually no grass,only what comes naturally to thesandy soil, and is chock full of trees,which make wonderful homes forbirds throughout the year, even ifthey're just passing through, saidMrs. Baker.

The Bakers also enjoy spendingtime on the Indian River Lagoon,the St. Sebastian River and BlueCypress Lake in their canoe. As partof the education efforts of theAudubon Society, they give tours ofthose areas, as well as enjoy themon their own.

Bird and landscape photographyare major hobbies for Mr. Baker,while Mrs. Baker enjoys learningthe calls of her avian friends andwriting poetry about the beauty shefinds in the nature surrounding her.

Together, they wrote and pub-lished a book about Blue CypressLake, the headwater lake of the St.John's River, located in Indian RiverCounty.

The book is filled with astonish-ingly beautiful photographs takenwith a film camera by Mr. Baker, as

well as poems andmany stories aboutthe history of thelake.

The Bakersdonate all the pro-ceeds of the booksales to the PelicanIsland AudubonSociety for localeducation and con-servation projects.

One project that is still in theworks, despite several setbacks, isthe creation of a nature center.

"We're currently looking for a sitefor our nature center, which wouldbe staffed by community mem-bers," Mr. Baker said.

The center would be a place foreducation and instruction. Oneproposed location was alreadyrejected by the Indian River CountyBoard of County Commissioners,but that hasn't deterred Mr. Bakerand his fellow Audubon membersfrom pursuing their vision.

The center's mission would besimilar to the goals of the Environ-

mental Learning Center in Wabas-so, but on a smaller scale, Mr. Bakersaid.

It would be a place to hold confer-ences, share wildlife encountersand experiences with a populationthat spends an increasingly largeramount of time inside and buildexcitement for nature and conser-vation, Mr. Baker said.

Being recognized for his hardwork and dedication is a wonderfulhonor, Mrs. Baker said.

What Others Are SayingI came in looking for relief from neck pain that had beenplaguing me for several years. After having triedchiropractic care for 2-3 times a week for six months, I hadexperienced increased mobility and decreased paintemporarily. However, after only 3 treatments with theClass IV Deep Tissue Laser, I have experienced dramaticimprovement. I have more mobility and often no pain.Hard to believe such a small ray of warm light canproduce such great results! It’s comfortable, painless, andtakes no more than 10 short minutes! I encourage thoseconsidering this treatment to simply try it & see howquickly your pain becomes manageable orvanishes completely!

---Mary W., Vero Beach, FL

I have tried various therapies, including nutritionalsupplements and hyaleronic acid (HA) shots for mychronic knee pain. In spite of these efforts, my painprogressively worsened over the past 10 years &interfered with my ability to walk for any length of time. With the Class IV Deep Tissue Laser treatment,I have experienced great relief, and more importantly,improved mobility. Anyone with joint or muscle painshould give laser therapy a chance to help!
