How a simple Google search can help your brain BY TAMMY SMITH
The Sun Herald (Biloxi, Miss.)
The Internet, Facebook, smartphones and other technology might be a challenging new frontier for many seniors, but there are benefits to learning and embracing the evolving technology. A study at UCLA showed that simply using search engines such as Google triggered key centers in the brains of middle-aged and older adults, areas that control complex reasoning and decisionmaking, according to a press release at ucla.edu. Researchers involved said the results suggest that searching might help stimulate and possibly improve the function of the brain. “The study results are encouraging, that emerging computerized technologies may have physiological effects and potential benefits for middleaged and older adults,” said principal investigator Dr. Gary Small, a professor at the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior at UCLA who holds UCLA’s Parlow-Solomon Chair on Aging. “Internet searching engages complicated brain activity, which may help exercise and improve brain function.” You might be familiar with the posit that crosswords, word searches and other puzzles help keep the brain active, but as technology becomes more a part of our daily lives, the influence of computer use, including the Internet, also helps keep the mind engaged and may help preserve cognitive ability. Study volunteers were between the ages of 55 and 76; with half of them having search experience and half of them had no search experience. Gender, age and education level were kept similar between the two groups, which performed Web searches and book-reading tasks. While all the participants showed significant brain activity during the book-reading task, Internet searches were another matter. All the participants showed the same brain activity as in the book-reading task, but those familiar with online

searches also showed activity “in the frontal, temporal and cingulate areas of the brain, which control decision-making and complex reasoning,” the study revealed. “Our most striking finding was that Internet searching appears to engage a greater extent of neural circuitry that is not activated during reading _ but only in those with prior Internet experience,” said Small, who is also the director of UCLA’s Memory and Aging Research Center. He said the minimal brain activation found in the less experienced Internet group may be due

to participants not quite grasping the strategies needed to successfully engage in an Internet search, which is common while learning a new activity. What does this mean? In addition to helping seniors keep up with ever-developing technology, being actively engaged with the Internet can help stimulate brain activity as we age. Those who haven’t embraced the Internet might consider classes offered at senior centers or other locations. Or there’s always a computer-savvy grandchild who might provide an easy introduction.

What’s so funny about aging? Minnesota seniors find vitality through improv comedy BY SHARYN JACKSON
Star Tribune (Minneapolis)
MINNEAPOLIS – Like many people of a certain age, Diane Fuglestad has been made to feel invisible. The tipping point came one winter day at the bus stop, when the driver closed the doors in her face and started to drive off. After she knocked on the door to get his attention, his excuse was, “Oh, I didn’t see you there.” There was a time she might have chalked that up to life in a society that overlooks its senior citizens, and moved on. But after six years of taking improv comedy classes, she decided she wouldn’t accept invisibility anymore. “I said, ‘OK, that’s it.’ You don’t see me? We’ll fix that.” Fuglestad bought a barrette with a giant yellow ribbon on it and wore it all day, every day, until she couldn’t help but be noticed. “Improv gave me the guts to do that,” she said after a recent Monday morning class. “See me. Acknowledge me. Talk to me.” At the Brave New Workshop comedy school in Minneapolis, Fuglestad, 69, is one of 30 senior citizens who have been learning improvisational technique for years. It’s about more than getting a laugh: The classes give these elders new skills to think and act quickly, speak up and, most of all, be seen. Most found improv through the city’s community education catalog, looking for ways to keep active after retirement. Other than absences for surgeries or snowbird trips, regulars have been coming to one of two weekly classes for more than a decade, with a few new members joining every year. “I’m harder on them than I am on anyone,” said instructor Lauren Anderson, an actress at Brave New Workshop and the Monday class’ leader for the past five years. “These
safer than other recreational activities she’s been hesitant to take on. “It’s not bungee jumping,” she said.
THE POWER OF ‘YES’
Many of these senior students say the principles of improv have helped them in their daily interactions. Improv’s No. 1 principle: “Yes, and.” It means accepting what someone gives you and then building on it. “That’s such a positive way to look at things, because you’re agreeing with someone and then you’re adding your point of view, without saying ‘but,’?” said Nikki LaSorella, 73. A former social justice advocate, LaSorella has been in the class for eight years, and has no intention of stopping. “Because it is an art form, we keep learning,” she said. “I don’t think it’s something that you give up.” Jim Beggs, 71, a semiretired Leila Navidi, Minneapolis Star Tribune/TNS physician, wishes he had studNikki LaSorella, left, 73, works with classmate Susan Youngdahl, 79, on an improv exercise ied improv earlier in his career. during class in Minneapolis, Minn.

Terry’s Turn
The Second Amendment
BY TERRY TURNER
The Second Amendment to the Constitution says I have the right to bear arms, but I really don’t think it applies to me. I just have the feeling the Founding Fathers didn’t have me in mind when it was approved in 1791. Let me explain. As a teenager I had a couple of guns, a 410 shotgun and a .22 rifle. I was taught to shoot by my Terry Turner brother-in-law turnert185@outlook.com and a lot of his instruction included gun safety. He emphasized that guns are not toys. He took me to a shooting range not far from my home in North Omaha where I practiced my skill at hitting a target under his tutelage. I loved shooting at targets with the rifle and clay pigeons with the shotgun, but I never got interested in hunting. When I went into the Air Force after high school we had to quality on the rifle range and I did pretty well thanks to my brother-in-law’s instructions. When I got married I quickly discovered my new bride did not 8 | Prime | www.siouxlandprime.com
like guns and didn’t want any in the house. That was OK since I couldn’t afford a gun or ammo anyway. The no guns rule went on until all our kids had grown and left home. It was then I started a campaign to get a shotgun. I heard there was a skeet range nearby where I could shoot clay pigeons. My campaign to get a shotgun was simple but effective. It consisted of hours of, “Please, please, please” – it seemed to work for the kids so I thought I’d give it a try. After months of begging she finally relented. After work one day I went to a local sporting goods store and bought a beautiful 12 gauge pump shotgun. I brought it home and showed my wife. Then as instructed by her I put a trigger lock on it, placed it in a case and put it in my closet. What happened next occurred the very same evening after buying the shotgun. We ate supper and were in the process of cleaning up when the phone rang. I answered it. A voice on the other end said, “This is the Woodbury County Sheriff’s Office and there is a deputy outside your door and he wants to talk to you.” As I hung up the phone I thought, “Oh my gosh they found out I bought a gun!” I told my wife what was going on
and then stepped outside. There in front of my house were cars from every law enforcement agency in the area. There were a couple of State Patrol cars, several sheriff’s cars and the local police. The officers were out of their cars and searching my lawn. There was a deputy at the bottom of the porch steps who politely explained, “The local police officer reported he heard gunshots in the area and thought it came from here.” I thought about it and then remembered hearing something. I told the deputy I heard it too but thought it sounded like a car backfiring. We talked for a few more minutes and when they couldn’t find anything everyone left. I walked back in the house satisfied that the incident was over. There was my wife standing in the living room. She had watched the drama unfold from the window. She had her hands on her hips and was glaring at me. She said, “I told you not to buy that damn gun!” And walked away. After a few years of languishing in the closet I finally sold the gun and haven’t owned one since. Like I said I don’t think the Second Amendment applies to me.

the movie “The Big Trail.” It was then Marion Morrison became John Wayne. Although the film didn’t do well at the box office it opened doors for Wayne to play in many lowbudget westerns and eventually in the John Ford classic “Stagecoach,” which made him a star. Wayne’s bigger than life macho screen image was also part of his private life. While filming in Nevada Wayne was staying at a Las Vegas hotel and was trying to get some sleep before a shoot the next morning. His suite was directly below that of Frank Sinatra who was having a loud party. Wayne called and complained about the noise but to no avail. Finally Wayne showed up at Sinatra’s door and told the singer to stop the noise. A burly bodyguard approached Wayne and said, “Nobody talks to Mr. Sinatra that way.” Wayne started to leave then turned around and backhanded the man who fell to the floor. Wayne knocked him out by smashing a chair on top of him. The noise stopped. Wayne also enjoyed playing practical jokes on his drinking buddy Ward Bond. Once Bond bet Wayne that they could stand on opposite ends of a newspaper and Wayne wouldn’t be able to hit him. Wayne agreed to the bet and Bond set a sheet of newspaper down in a doorway. Wayne stood on one end and Bond slammed the door in his face, shouting “Try and hit me now!” Wayne responded by sending his fist through the door, flooring Bond and winning the bet. The John Wayne Birthplace and Museum in Winterset started 35 years ago with just the Morrison home and some artifacts on display. The museum was operated by the John Wayne Birthplace Society. Then in May 2015 the society opened the 6,100-square-foot museum adjacent to the home. The new museum has a huge collection of artifacts including original movie posters, film wardrobe, scripts, contracts, letters, artwork and sculpture, and even one of his last customized automobiles. A tour of the museum begins with a short film about Wayne’s life narrated by his daughter Aissa. Visitors can then take a self-guided tour of the many artifacts and displays in the museum. Among the artifacts are costumes Wayne wore in many of his films, including “The Searchers,”
Wayne’s customized 1972 Pontiac Safari station wagon is on display in the museum. The car was modified by car builder George Barris to fit Wayne’s 6-foot-4-inch frame.
Adjacent to the museum is the Morrison home where John Wayne was born. Rooms in the John Wayne birthplace house contain artifacts from Wayne’s early life in Winterset.
“Chisum,” “Hatari,” and his Oscarwinning performance as Rooster Cogburn in “True Grit.” A life-size representation of Wayne has him standing in one of his favorite movie locations, Monument Valley in Utah. Also on display is his
custom built station wagon modified to fit his 6-foot-4-inch frame. The jaunting car from the movie “The Quiet Man” is part of the museum collection. The cart was saved by costar Maureen O’Hara and donated to the museum following her death. Adjacent to the museum is the Morrison home where John Wayne was born. The four-room house contains artifacts from Wayne’s early life including the announcement of his birth in the local newspaper.
