A

s he’s gotten older, Don Overlie has made it a priority to make sure he stays active, both physically and mentally.

Having carried that attitude throughout his life, the now 73-year-old Overlie has found himself heavily involved in the community. For him, sitting at home and doing nothing during the day has never been an option.

“I’ve always been active, so I guess it’s just always been a part of me, but it’s important to stay active both mentally and physically,” Overlie said. “If you don’t, it seems to me that things atrophy. I like to be involved.

Involvement is just an important thing.”

The list of the community organizations he is involved with is seemingly endless. He’s served as a

volunteer and assistant coordinator for Toys for Tots of Steele County since 2001, he’s instructed computer classes Owatonna’s SeniorPlace and he’s taught AARP driver’s safety courses, just to name a few.

That volunteer spirit is infectious and causes other people to take notice. One of those people who took notice was Lisa Havelka, tourism director for the Owatonna Area Chamber of Commerce and Tourism, who nominated Overlie for the Book of Golden Deeds award presented by the Owatonna Exchange Club.

“He’s willing to get involved and give back to the community, but he’s also very good at encouraging other people to be involved,” Havelka said. “My family has been involved with Steele County Toys for Tots behind the scenes for a lot of years, and Don actually asked me to get involved and really come forward to get more actively involved.

“That was something he didn’t have to do, but he recognized my talents and helped bring me to the forefront with that organization and I’m able to offer my time and talents to it as well. He definitely has a way of engaging other people in the activities and the events that he gets involved with.”

ber a time when someone wanted to pay him for some volunteer work that he did.

“I’m going, ‘Why would I charge you for that?’ I enjoy doing it. I enjoy teaching the driver’s safety classes, or the Boy Scout program, or the public library program. I just enjoy doing that,” Overlie said.

The spirit toward volunteering allowed Overlie to be named the Steele County Senior Volunteer of the Year in 2013. He would go on to be named runner-up for the state, named so at the Minnesota State Fair.

While active in volunteering for his community, a trait he said he learned when he was young, Overlie is also physically active. As he does with volunteering, he encourages other seniors to be active as well.

Perhaps the best example of Overlie’s love of volunteerism and being physically active came together last summer when Owatonna hosted the Minnesota Senior Games, an event that brought competitors in from across the country.

Overlie competed in the games in Pickleball, a sport that has grown in popularity in Owatonna in the last few years since the Owatonna Pickleball Association, of which Overlie is a founding member, formed. Though he was a competitor, he was also co-chair of the event.

“It was absolutely outstanding. We had a lot of blood, sweat and tears in that. I think we came out very well,” Overlie said, adding that community volunteers supporting the athletes made the event possible. “I don’t recall the exact numbers, but it had to be at least 100 people Overlie serves during a pickleball clinic at the Sid Kinyon Courts near Lincoln Elementary School. Overlie was instrumental in bringing pickleball to Owatonna.

that were involved from the community, and they weren’t all seniors. There were young people involved, as well as seniors, and everywhere in between. It was showing off our community.”

Anne Pleskonko, former director of SeniorPlace, including during the time when Overlie was a board member, said she considers Overlie a leader in Owatonna.

“Don never says no. If it’s a project he’s passionate about, he will go full speed ahead,” Pleskonko said.

“Everything he does, he goes 110 percent, that’s just his nature. Over the past 11 years as I’ve got to know him, he’s just been a very passionate person with every project he participates in.”

There is a simple state of mind that Overlie says he would pass along to fellow seniors, be willing to try something new.

“Stay involved. Don’t be afraid to say, ‘OK,’” Overlie said.

“My doctor said he doesn’t worry about me as long as I’m eating here,” she said.

Grunhovd isn’t alone.

Semcac offers senior dining options at the Blooming Prairie Senior Center, Cedar Place Apartments in Owatonna and SeniorPlace in Owatonna at 11:30 a.m. weekdays and at the Ellendale Community Building at 11:45 a.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Volunteers with Semcac also deliver meals to Blooming Prairie, Medford and Ellendale through the “Meals on Wheels” program and the “Mobile Meals” program in Owatonna.

“We have a registered dietitian who approves all the meals we provide, and we provide nutritional meals with 600 to 700 calories each,” Praus said. “It is at least onethird of an adult’s daily requirement.”

Semcac also offers diabetic, low-sodium and low-cholesterol alternatives for seniors.

Harold Moorman of Owatonna said he doesn’t eat meals like the one at Semcac three times a day.

The meal, on a recent Monday, was meatloaf, sweet potatoes, green beans, a morning glory muffin and grapes.

“Ninety-eight percent of the time the food is good, and 100 percent of the time it’s worth the cost,” Moorman said. “This is the most balanced meal I eat a day. I eat good, but not this good.”

Counting calories, calories that count But Moorman should eat that good three times a day, according to local dietitians Louanne Kaupa and Tracy Bjerke.

“We need fewer calories to maintain our body weight as we age, so that means the calories we do consume need to count,” said Kaupa, registered dietitian with Eat Well Therapy. “It’s harder to get valuable nutrients with limited calories. They can’t be wasted on alcohol and sugar.”

Kaupa said calorie needs are dependent on the individual and his or her age, gender, physical activity and present weight.

And she said a balanced diet that contains fruits, vegetables, whole grains, protein and dairy reduces the risk of chronic illnesses like heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, type-2 diabetes, bone loss, cancer and anemia.

Bjerke, a registered dietitian at Hy-Vee in Owatonna, recommends seniors eat more nutrient-rich foods that contain calcium, vitamin D, vitamin B12, fiber, potassium and healthy fats but minimize intake of saturated and trans fats.

“It is very important to have a balanced diet and focus on getting some exercise, too,” Bjerke said.

“It’s important to feed your body healthy, nutritious foods because you’ll feel better, and you’ll do more.”

Some nutritious foods that Bjerke mentioned include dark leafy greens like spinach, kale and broccoli and orange vegetables like carrots and sweet potatoes.

Joseph F. Clark and his wife have been eating lunch at SeniorPlace with Grunhovd and Moorman for awhile.

“At a restaurant you don’t have the same experience,” Clark said. “It’s fun to be with all the people.”

Praus said meals are available for individuals who are 60 years old and older and their spouses for a suggested donation of $3.50, and meals are available for people who are younger than 60 years old for a suggested donation of $6.50.

“Many people think it is just for people who can’t afford to have meals somewhere else, but that’s not true. It’s for anyone,” she said. “Come and give us a try. I think people would be surprised.”

It’s never too late to plan for retirement, financial advisors say

They’ve seen it before.

Couples — in the AARP set, age 50 and older — come in to their offices, worried about retirement and when they will be able to quit working, even if they’ll be able to quit working.

Perhaps they haven’t as much as they should have. And with the traditional age of retirement looming in the not so distant future, those couples begin to wonder if they’ll be able to stop working and if there will be enough money to meet their expenses for the rest of their lives.

“A lot of people fall into that Running situation,” said Brad Running, a financial advisor for Ameriprise Financial in Owatonna. “There are many surveys that show that there are more people who are unprepared than prepared for retirement. And people are worried about it. It’s a stress in their lives.”

Kim Cosens, a financial advisor for Edward Jones in Owatonna, agrees.

Surveys show that there are more people who are unprepared than prepared for retirement.

One survey showed that 40 percent were saving less than 6 percent of their salaries for retirement.

“At 50, they’re in a whole other world,” Cosens said of financial planning. “The biggest question they have is, ‘Will I run out of money?’ and ‘What can I do so I don’t run out of money?’”

And, indeed, the questions are pressing, and the answers not always encouraging.

A 2013 survey from Fidelity Investments revealed just how much financial trouble the average American is likely to be in upon retirement. The survey asked more than 2,000 participants a range of questions on topics, including their health, retirement and saving habits, and found that the average baby boomer — those born between 1946 and 1964 — was on track to reach just 81 percent of their retirement income needs.

The study also found that 40 percent of participants across all generations were saving less than 6 percent of their salaries for retirement. That’s especially troubling when financial planners often advise men and women to save 10 percent to 15 Cosens percent of their salaries for retirement.

But that doesn’t mean all hope is lost.

“It’s never too late to do planning if improvements are made between now and when you do retire,” said Running.

Cosens said more than half of his new clients are in the age range of 50 to 60 years old, many of them with limited investments and retirement not too far off in the future. When confronted with that scenario, Cosens said that he, as a financial advisor, makes no judgment on the clients.

“It doesn’t matter what you’ve done in the past,” Cosens said. “We focus on the future.”

The first steps, both men say, is to take a good look at where you are financially at this moment in terms of expenses, income and investments, and where you would like to be when you retire.

“All the planning in the world and the number crunching associated with it will go nowhere unless people change their behaviors to fund the dreams and desires,” says financial advisor Brad Running. (Metro)

How to catch up on retirement savings The following are a handful of ways men and women can catch up on retirement savings.

• Start spending less. The easiest way to catch up on retirement savings is to start spending less.

Men and women over 50 know that the sand in their earnings hourglass is running out, and those behind on retirement savings need to make the most of their earnings in the years ahead. That means cutting out any unnecessary expenses so that money can be used to save for retirement.

Examine all of your monthly and annual expenses to find ways to trim some fat.

• Contribute more to your employer-sponsored retirement plan. If you have not been contributing the maximum amount to your employer-sponsored retirement plan, start doing so. This is especially beneficial if your employer matches your contributions.

• Make IRA catch-up contributions. The Internal Revenue service allows men and women over the age of 50 to make annual catch-up contributions up to $5,500. These contributions must be made to a retirement plan via elective deferrals, and there are additional requirements as well.

Once those questions are answered and the goals and desires determined, then the question becomes one of “can they get there?”

Cosens said there are three basic answers to the question of whether they can reach those goals: • Yes, they can do it.

• Yes, they can do it if they tweak some things now.

• No, they can’t do it.

“I don’t believe I’ve ever had to say to someone, ‘No, you can never retire,’” Cosens said.

But he has had to tell many couples and individuals that they would have to tweak their current lifetime and their future dreams and goals.

See SECURITY on Page 14

• Put more in traditional savings accounts.

Though it’s best to put as much money into taxadvantaged accounts, if you are already maxing out your contributions to such accounts it’s still good to sock away money into a traditional taxable savings account. It’s unwise to expect your retirement accounts to fully fund your lifestyle in retirement, so you will need, or at least want, a substantial amount of money in savings.

• Postpone retirement. Though it’s not ideal for men and women with a target retirement date in mind, postponing the day you call it quits is another way to catch up on retirement savings. Postponing retirement allows you to build a more substantial retirement portfolio while also decreasing the amount of time you will need to rely on that money. This gives you more flexibility in retirement. In addition, Americans who work longer can increase their Social Security benefit because working longer should allow them to delay the day they start taking Social Security payments. Men and women who can wait until age 70 to accept such payments will receive larger monthly payments as a result.

That tweaking often involves changing the way they invest their money and the way they do things financially. Often times it means changing their current spending habits and investment habits.

And sometimes it means changing when they retire. Instead of retiring at 65 or so, they may need to work longer — until they are 70 or 72.

Running also acknowledges that for some people who have not properly prepared for retirement that there are ways to prepare, but that it takes tweaking of their lifestyles.

“How serious are they about aligning their financial behavior with their goals and with their desire to accomplish them?” Running asked. “All the plan-

ning in the world and the number crunching associated with it will go nowhere unless they change their behaviors to fund the dreams and desires.”

At the same time, he said, the financial planning can and usually is a process that relieves stress rather than increases it.

“People want to feel less intimidated about planning for retirement,” Running said. “People know they need help. Doing the financial planning can be a very enjoyable process. They’ve never sat down and envisioned a future where they are living their dreams and goals.”
