elonging, aging, awakening, exploring, knowingͲͲͲ I’m si$ng gazing into the visual of a print numbered 7/50, +tled “I Know Where I’m Going”. It was the ar+st, the # and the +tle that drew me to purchase this print. It is a visual of a lithe, young woman, bike helmet on her head, holding a wheel, wearing a cape of feathers over pedal pushersͶa pearl bracelet on her le2 wristͶliterally flying on her own accord over a visual of the map of England. In the perimeter of the print you can also see France and Ireland. Pearls with pedal pushers? Looking closer you can see the pearls are an a7achment on the sleeve of a shirt that reaches to the wrist. Every aspect of this piece of art shouts metaphor, higher meaning and teaches what all ar+sts mean to create with their art. My mother’s ancestors can be traced back into the 1600’s, being born in England. The face in the image could have well been me at age 18. Those are two obvious reasons I reached into my pocketbook.

As I sit in my 78th year, approaching my ninth decade (yes, the first ten years count as a decade)Ͷthe si$ng doesn’t come easy. I’ve explored aging and ageism once re+ring and find it a very real phenomenon most of my ancestors didn’t experience. Is it a gi2? Only a fraternal grandparent and an aunt lived past my current ageͶ both living infirmed later years. I am grateful for my good health. Born in 1941, I have experienced fully, minus one year, eight decades. As I come closer to a move into my ninth decade ͲͲI will reach out into my 80’s during a brand new decadeͶthe 2020’s, making every effort not to reach back. I was told once by a psychologist we tend to live to the age we expect to live. I answered 95 when asked back then in my 40’s. It is unbelievable to me I have lived this long, especially with a father dying at age 59; a mother who never wanted to age, passing at age 69, just days before that zero could be added. I have a son, who lived a difficult life, giving up at age 49.

The ending of a year (2019), especially one that takes us into a new decade, can be a +me for great release. The kind of release where le$ng go is similar to a bap+sm. A dunking in the trough kind of bap+sm, our head supported by the preacher’s hand. Never experiencing that kind of bap+sm, my imagina+on believes a release is created. Or perhaps it’s like the release of the Catholic’s confessional. Also unknown to me. I’m not sure these analogies come close to the release I want to cast off, give upͶthat’s it, give upͲͲ completely never to return. Think of a scab healing over and how we, at least I know I am always peeling away the healed piece of skin, only to have that healing return again and again for peeling. While the search is ongoingͶI’ve come to believe that is our purpose, like the girl in the piece of art to be flying and to always knowing where I’m goingͶeven when we don’t. Within the meaning of the artͶin the meaning of going ‘withinnian’ͲͲ Old English meaning ‘on the inside’. Sandra McKinney, ADRC Board Member

2020 U.S. CENSUS
The 2020 U.S. Census which is just around the corner! Census forms will be distributed to every household in Eau Claire in early March of 2020. Every ten years the U.S. Census Bureau conducts the decennial census which provides a glimpse of the Eau Claire area, State of Wisconsin and the Na2on. The 2020 Census will guide us for the next ten years so it’s very important for everyone to complete their census form and return it to the Census Bureau. The primary purpose of the census is mandated by the U.S. Cons2tu2on in order to determine the number of congressional representa2ves each state will have in the U.S. House of Representa2ves. Locally, the Census sta2s2cs are used to determine vo2ng ward boundaries and for redistric2ng at the local and state level. In addi2on, the informa2on plays an important role in the distribu2on of federal and state funds. Every year, the federal government allocates billions of federal tax dollars to states and communi2es like Eau Claire, in part, using census data. Census informa2on is also extensively used by state and local government to determine such things as the loca2on for parks, fire sta2ons, schools, hospitals, community facili2es, and determining transporta2on and housing needs within the community. In addi2on, business and industry use the informa2on for marke2ng, expansion, and growth decisions. The ques2onnaire consists of 9 ques2ons and takes 5 to 10 minutes to complete. It can be completed onͲline at the Census Bureau website, by telephone, or by mailing in the form. Results are also confiden2al. The Census Bureau, by law, cannot share an individual’s results with anyone, including other federal agencies and law enforcement en22es. Look for your census form to be mailed out to your household by early March of 2020. It’s Easy…It’s Important for Eau Claire…It’s Confiden!al! 2020 Elections Register to vote at MyVote.wi.gov or register before the election by mail, at your municipal clerk’s office or your polling place on election day.

Another Year And An Opportunity For You By Katherine Schneider, Chair of the ADRC Board
In 2019 Linda Struck completed her first year as Aging & Disability Resource Center Director. Imagine ge*ng up to speed on all the programs and all the rules of the different funding sources that fund the programs! She did it and is s-ll smiling. She says that her favorite parts of her job are working with great staff and helping others.
Because one of the long-me board members moved out of her district, I applied and was appointed to fill her spot on the County Board un-l the April 2020 elec-on. This leaves a ci-zen vacancy on the ADRC board, which is where you come in. We’re looking for someone who cares about the services our county provides to its disabled and elderly ci-zens. If you have a disability and want to serve, no problem. Reasonable accommoda-ons will be made. Look on the County’s website www.co.eauͲclaire.wi.us for details or contact Samantha Cole in the County Administra2on Office (715) 839Ͳ5106 or email Samantha.cole@co.eauͲclaire.wi.us.
I guarantee you you’ll learn a lot by serving and can pat yourself on the back for having helped steer our great ADRC forward.
Preserving a lifetime of savings and protecting one’s dignity requires a solid understanding of complex state and federal laws.

I love the following Emily Dickinson quote, “Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and yet it has never asked a crumb of me”. While we may all experience some dark #mes perhaps hope can offer us some encouragement.
Living Well with Demen a By Russell Martoccio
ĈĪğįĞĠĦīĤ ċĬĭĢ
O2en I hear people say, “There is no hope a2er a diagnosis of demen+a.” I am entering an unknown future. Since I have no desire to give up, learning to live with demen+a has become my passion and focus. Listening and learning has had a huge impact on my journey. Progress not perfec+on! I fully acknowledge there are parts of living with demen+a that are emo+onal and cruel, but I refuse to let these elements and others define who I am.
Where do I go from here? Faith and hope are my answers. Demen+a is my diagnosis, it is not who I am. Demen+a is not the heart of the ma7er, it is my condi+on and behavior. The stream of life runs its course as it should. I cannot control its flow, but I can choose to ride it and steer with the current as best I can. But how to navigate? Thus, it becomes important for me not to allow the condi+on to define me. There is no room in my mind for this to occur. I need to find ways to stay at peace.
Serenity and calmness set the stage for having a posi+ve a$tude and purpose in my life. Having hope that I can see the beauty of God’s crea+on, slowing down to no+ce the things that I was always too busy to see. Keeping it simple and not worrying about situa+ons that I cannot control. Watching the birds and listening to their songs, showing others that I love them by finding +me for them. There are so many things that I can do to enjoy a reasonably serene life. Now is the +me to start living!

Heart disease doesn’t happen just to older adults. It is happening to younger adults more and more o2en. February is Heart Month, the perfect +me to learn about your risk for heart disease and the steps you need to take now to help your heart.
Are you at Risk? Many of the condi+ons and behaviors that put people at risk for heart disease are appearing at younger ages:
High blood pressure. Millions of Americans of all ages have high blood pressure, including millions of people in their 40s and 50s. Having uncontrolled high blood pressure is one of the biggest risks for heart disease and other harmful condi+ons, such as stroke.
High cholesterol. High cholesterol can increase the risk for heart disease. Having diabetes and obesity, smoking, ea+ng unhealthy foods, and not ge$ng enough physical ac+vity can all contribute to unhealthy cholesterol levels.
Smoking. More than 37 million U.S. adults are current smokers, and thousands of young people start smoking each day. Smoking damages the blood vessels and can cause heart disease.
Obesity. Carrying extra weight puts stress on the heart. More than 1 in 3 AmericansͶand nearly 1 in 6 children ages 2 to 19Ͷhas obesity.
Diabetes. Diabetes causes sugar to build up in the blood. This can damage blood vessels and nerves that help control the heart muscle. Nearly 1 in 10 people in the United States has diabetes.
Physical inac vity. Staying physically ac+ve helps keep the heart and blood vessels healthy. Only 1 in 5 adults meets the physical ac+vity guidelines of ge$ng 150 minutes a week of moderateͲ intensity ac+vity.
Unhealthy ea ng pa,erns. Most Americans, including children, eat too much sodium (salt), which increases blood pressure. Replacing foods high in sodium with fresh fruits and vegetables can help lower blood pressure. But only 1 in 10 adults is ge$ng enough fruits and vegetables each day. Diet high in transͲfat, saturated fat, and added sugar increases the risk factor for heart disease. 4 Ways to Take Control of Your Heart Health. You are in the driver’s seat when it comes to your heart. Learn how to be heart healthy at any age.
Don’t smoke. Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States. If you don’t smoke, don’t start. If you do smoke, learn how to quit.
Manage condi ons. Work with your health care team to manage condi+ons such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol. This includes taking any medicines you have been prescribed. Learn more about preven+ng and managing high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
Make heartͲhealthy ea ng changes. Eat food low in transͲfat, saturated fat, added sugar and sodium. Try to fill at least half your plate with vegetables and fruits, and aim for low sodium op+ons. Learn more about how to reduce sodium.
Stay ac ve. Get moving for at least 150 minutes per week. You can even break up the 30 minutes into 10Ͳminute blocks.

Caregivers Have Rights, Too!
It happens gradually. She needs a li7le help balancing the checkbook, bills are not ge$ng paid. Ice on roads and sidewalks leaves you nervous about a fall so you stop for her groceries and accompany her to appointments. You do more and more for her and soon find yourself making daily phone calls or visits to help. You have become a caregiver.
If you are a caregiver: ▪ Take care of yourself without any feelings of guilt. By maintaining your own health, you will be happier, healthier and a be7er caregiver for your loved one!
▪
Con+nue having a life of your own. Make it a priority to keep doing the things you love, knowing that you are also doing all you can for your loved one.
▪
Feel and express the strong emo+ons that caregiving produces. It is normal to feel anger, fear, loss and depression. Acknowledge these feelings and find someone to talk to about them.
▪
Accept posi+ve feelings; apprecia+on, love, forgiveness, gra+tude ʹ by your loved one and others who see your difficult task.
▪ Seek help from others. Accept help in order to maintain your own life and individuality.

Taking an active role in your health care can help you get the best care from your doctor. Your doctor’s appointments should be a two-way conversation. ᬚ You do some talking - Pay attention to your body. Tell each doctor the details about your life and how you are feeling. Any new symptoms? How are you eating, sleeping, and feeling after regular activity? What would you like to see happen?
ᬛ Ask questions - What diagnosis are you giving me? What does that mean for my day to day life? What symptoms should I be watching for to let me know it’s getting worse? And very importantly, what should I do if I notice that symptom? If the doctor thinks they have answered your question but it doesn’t really make sense, ask them to explain.
ᬜ Take someone else with you if you can – That’s two people to think of questions and remember the answers.
ᬝ Bring your own medication list – Bring your own list to compare what is on record. ᬞ Follow through and follow up – Either do what your doctor recommends or be honest
that you don’t intend to take a medication that you can’t afford, or that makes you feel sick. Take initiative to make sure to schedule follow up appointments. For resources for transportation to appointments, contact Aging & Disability Resource Center, 715-839-4735.
