SENATOR BEN NELSON WILL BE HERE SATURDAY This Saturday, at 2:00 p.m. join former Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson at his childhood home in McCook at 608 Norris Avenue for a book signing with his new book Death of the Senate: My Front Row Seat to the De-mise of the World's Greatest Deliberative Body (Potomac Books/Univ. Nebraska Press). Afterward Sen. Nelson will be interviewed by NTV Assistant News Director Chris Wagner at the Bandshell in Norris Park at 3:30 p.m. An additional book signing will follow the interview in the same location. Book sales will be provided by McCook Community Col-lege Bookstore. All events are open to the public. The book, Death of the Senate, is a clear-eyed look inside the Senate chamber in an un-precedented, brutally honest account of the current political reality.
With polarization at its worst in decades, and every day a new fight over filibusters, infrastructure or reconciliation, the U.S. Senate is on a self-destructive path. But former Sen. Nelson not going to let the institu-tion destroy itself without a fight. His book is a cleareyed look inside the Senate chamber and a brutally honest account of the current political reality. “I served at a time the Senate worked, there are lessons to learn that can help restore the Senate,” Sen. Nelson writes. “Why does that matter? If the Senate cannot work effectively for the American people, then the government doesn't work. And if the Senate cannot serve as a responsible, credible check on the powers of the President as it was meant to be then our democracy can't work. If our democracy can’t
work, our country will decline, and our people will suffer. There’s a lot on the line in getting the Senate to function again.”
HEALTHY AGING MONTH For the last twenty years, the month of September has been recognized as Healthy Aging Month, an annual occurrence to raise awareness about the positive aspects of growing older. Healthy aging can be pro-moted by nutritious eating and exercise, practicing optimism, and stay-ing involved in social activities. Lifestyles should be changed, if needed, by adding more physical activity and consuming more nutrients. How-ever, healthy aging is more than just physical wellness; it also includes a healthy mental, social, and financial state. It’s never too late to find a new career, a new sport, passion, hobby, or to work on your health is-sues. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines healthy aging as the process of developing and maintaining the functional ability that
enables well-being in older age. Functional ability is about having the capabilities that allow everyone to be and do whatever they value.
