Urban Call City of Winston-Salem Seniors Edition

It might not be too late Piedmont Plus Senior Games and Silver Arts are flagship event

By Alan Cronk

For participants in the North Carolina Senior Games and Silver Arts competitions it is the “F words,” according to Lynn Harrell, the Associate Director for the North Carolina Senior Games, that bring the participants back each year: fun, fitness, family, fellowship and friends.

“Every year it’s like a family reunion at the state finals,” Harrell said.

“But they don’t have any problem competing hard against their ‘family’ members.”

Opening ceremonies for Senior Games and Silver Arts FLAGSHIP EVENT, from page 1

Supervisor & Senior Games Coordinator for the City of Winston-Salem, this competition is their flagship event for seniors in Winston-Salem and Forsyth County.

“It’s like nothing you’ve ever seen before,” Vestal said. “I really relish the impact that the Senior Games and the Silver Arts events have on participants and how it makes their lives better in many meaningful ways.”

All of the competition categories are open to residents who are 50 or “better.” The competition categories are organized by gender and age: 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, etc.

Some of the medal winners in the 2019 track & field competition.

Games and the Silver Arts must submit an entry form by March 31. For the majority of the events there is not an entry fee.

Forms are available online at tinyurl.com/vwtfwx3 or they can be printed at tinyurl.com/ sbvsfef.

works with Vestal on the Senior Games and Silver Arts, is a big fan of all the activities.

“I really enjoy the competitions,” said Collins, who is about to finish his bachelor’s degree in public health at UNC Greensboro. “I’ve been in this department for almost a year.

Before this I worked at Forsyth County Adult Day Care. Studies clearly show that staying active keep people feeling younger.

These activities and competitions are unbelievable to watch and experience. It gives everyone such a great opportunity for exercise, competition and camaraderie.”

A new playground

To date, Winston-Salem has not received any grants to support the Senior Games and the Silver Arts. But in 2019 the city did receive a $170,000 grant from AARP to build an agefriendly playground at Miller Park. Of the grant amount, $11,000 is reserved for staff instruction so they can be scheduled at the playground to

help people use the equipment.

The playground will join three other senior spaces at Miller Park: bocce, petanque and horseshoes.

Winston-Salem was one of 20 North Carolina cities that applied for the AARP grant.

Only Winston-Salem was selected.

“What they saw was our overall community efforts – with the YMCA, Senior Services and other organizations,” Vestal said. “They liked our synergy with senior programs. It was the people and the community that allowed us to win this grant competition.”

The ribbon-cutting ceremony for the playground will be at Miller Park at 11 a.m. on May 14. There will be comments from Mayor Allen Joines, AARP representatives and other dignitaries.

Winston-Salem and Forsyth County, like many parts of the country, are experiencing significant growth in the number of people living within its borders who are 65 years and older.

The 2010 Census found that 45,511 people, 65 and older, live in Forsyth County. That was 13% of the population, 350,670.

Between the 2000 Census and 2010 Census, the growth of people 65 and older increased by 18.1%. The 2020 Census will probably show a similar 65-andolder growth pattern.

In 2020, U.S. News & World Report said that Winston-Salem was the #7 best city to retire to in the country: It “is a region on an upward trajectory that still maintains its Southern roots,” according to U.S. News & World Report.

“We don’t have one department that is devoted to senior services,” said Frank Elliott the Deputy Director of Marketing & Communications for WinstonSalem. “The city strives to ensure that all Winston-Salem citizens receive important city services.

In the case of seniors, each department looks at their services and makes sure that they are able to provide them for seniors. That

may mean tailoring individual services for seniors.”

What follows is a summary of the important programs that Winston-Salem provides for seniors. If you have any questions, call CityLink at 311 or 336-7278000: FIRE DEPARTMENT

Smoke Alarm Program: The city provides free smoke alarms to seniors who need them, in an effort to reduce fatal fires in Winston-Salem. On-duty firefighters install the smoke alarms and will conduct a free home evaluation upon request.

Get active, get healthy with a buddy Regular exercise is important to the physical and mental health of everyone, and becomes increasingly essential as we age. Physical fitness not only produces long-term health benefits but also boosts energy levels, improves mood, increases confidence and can reduce the potential for injuries.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends adults 65 and older get at least 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderate-intense aerobic activity and musclestrengthening activities on two or more days per week[i]. While that may seem like a lot, it only amounts to 20 to 30 minutes each day and even can be broken down into three, 10-minute sessions.

This year the State Finals are from Aug. 26-Oct. 26 at various locations throughout the state. The schedule is at ncseniorgames. org/calendar. The dates for 2021 have not been determined.

If a competitor finishes first, second, third or fourth in the State Finals they are

it’s important to realize that you can benefit from even brief sessions of movement,” said Dr. Jim McCormick, Regional Vice President of Health Services for Humana. “It can be surprisingly easy to sneak a little bit of extra activity into our lives each day, whether we’re walking the dog, doing yard work, cleaning the house, or even parking in a spot that’s a little farther from the store.”

If you need motivation, find an “exercise buddy” or join a class at your local fitness center. Not only can an exercise buddy make activity more fun, it can also double your willpower.

Dr. McCormick notes it’s beneficial to check with your health insurance provider to see if they offer discounts or free classes in your area. For example, many of Humana’s Medicare Advantage plans

include membership at no cost in the SilverSneakers® health and fitness program. This benefit gives members access to fitness locations that may include workout equipment, fitness classes like yoga, health educational seminars and fun social events.

In addition to the physical benefits, Dr. McCormick said exercise may have psychological and emotional benefits as well.

“Regular physical activity is a great way to reduce anxiety and take your mind off of whatever you may be nervous about –whether it’s your health, bank account or a strenuous relationship – because exercise produces endorphins that help to improve your mood and reduce depression.”

The next National Senior Games are Nov. 5-18, 2021 in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Bill Gramley, who is 85 and lives in Lewisville, has been participating in Senior Games and Silver Arts for about 20 years.

“A friend of mine introduced

me to Silver Arts and said they have a category for art,” Gramley said. “I usually enter pastels, drawing, acrylic and mixed media. But I also noticed that they have sports competitions. I used to do track and field in high school and college. So I signed up for shot put and discus. I did well in those, but I also decided to try standing broad jump, long jump and race walking. I even did a couple of years with bicycle racing.

Above all, be safe and keep well hydrated. Be sure to have fun and stay motivated when choosing an activity. If you do something you enjoy, scheduling time for exercise won’t seem like a chore.

in Cleveland; 2015 in St. Paul, Minn.; 2017 in Birmingham, Ala. “For the last eight years I have played on a softball team,” Gramley said. “In 2013 we won a gold medal at the nationals in Cleveland. I really like going to visit cities I have never been to, but I also like to meet other seniors from around the country. These national events have anywhere from 8,000 to 10,000 people.
