VETERANS DAY TRIBUTE

Ralph Lawrence still has the Class A Uniform and tie that he wore when he was discharged from Korean War. He also has several of the letters he wrote back home during his service.

Andy Dziagwa stands in a trench with an M2 Carbine as he serves in the Korean War. The Purple Heart recipient was honored recently by the Elmhurst American Legion Post THB 187 at the Roosevelt at Salt Creek where he is a resident.

At the Roosevelt at Salt Creek in Elmhurst, 26 veterans, with more than 80 years of collective military service, were honored in a special ceremony in celebration of Veteran’s Day. The American Legion, as well as local students, paid tribute to these veterans in a pinning ceremony that was held at the Roosevelt on Tuesday, Nov. 7 at the Roosevelt (formerly Lexington Square).

Spanning WWII, Vietnam, Korea and more, these veterans are truly a living history, sharing incredible stories, memorabilia and experiences: • Andy Dziagwa, 95, (Korea): Andy moved quickly through the ranks to become Sergeant/First Class and received the Purple Heart. Wounded by a grenade near Heartbreak Ridge Andy vividly recalls that day: the ambulance that rescued him had a gaping hole in its bottom, and Andy recalls mud coming up on his stretcher every time they hit a bump. He awakened from surgery and thought he was in heaven because he smelled perfume (it was the nurse!). A

trumpet player, he met his wife, now 87, while playing in his Polka Band at the Grove Ballroom on the south side of Chicago, and they have been married 70 years. Andy was in a band called The Ampol Aires for over 50 years and was inducted into the International Polka Association Hall of Fame in 1995.

• Judith Butler, 87 (Korea): A US Navy Nurse, Judith served over eight years and has a treasured photo of herself and Danny Kaye.

• Ralph Lawrence, 88 (Korea): In addition to the Class A Uniform and tie that he was discharged in, he has letters he wrote to his parents while in service. His incredibly preserved collection includes every order as well as his diploma from financing school while in the military.

• James Powers, 95 (Military Intelligence): James taught his fellow servicemen how to plant listening devices as well as how to break out of prison if captured.

Perhaps Andy sums it up best: “Most people want to forget about the war. How

Humorist unveils new nostalgia program for seniors Todd Hunt, a humorist who has traveled the country for 20 years poking fun at communication bleeps and blunders at business conferences, has created a new program exclusively for seniors: “Remember When… A fun, interactive look at simpler times.”

Using funny anecdotes about growing up in small-town America, combined with clips of TV shows and photos of candy and other products from yesteryear, the presentation has been generating interest in senior centers and retirement communities in Chicago and suburbs.

Todd Hunt Even normally quiet folks get a sparkle in their eye when they recognize items from their past, such as a mimeograph machine (remember the smell?), encyclopedias (remember books?) and a phone booth (remember pay phones?

Remember when calls were a dime?)

Todd explains how he came to create this new show.

“I got a call from one of my corporate bookers complimenting me on my new video promo and asked if I could adapt my communication program for the seniors market. It was an easy transition, as I already open my business events with a group sing-along of the ‘Green Acres’ TV theme song. It was natural to expand the nostalgia factor to other TV shows, fads (pet rocks and mood rings) and old cringe-worthy ads like Clorox Toothpaste (yes, there was such a thing), vitamin donuts and candy cigarettes that advertised ‘Be just like Dad!’”

This is just one of the old-time ads Todd Hunt presents in his senior program, “Remember When.”

Seniors enjoy reminiscing about simpler times, when there were only three TV channels and humans answered the phone. And if you wanted Cheerios, you bought Cheerios…you didn’t have to choose among Honey Nut, Apple Cinnamon, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Tomato Basil and dozens of other flavors.

Exercise is a vital component of a healthy lifestyle. By making exercise part of their day-to-day routines, people of all ages, including men and women over the age of 65, can greatly improve their overall health.

The American Academy of Family Physicians notes that seniors should aspire to be as active as possible. Exercise is a great way to incorporate physical activity into your daily routine and has been linked to reduced risk for diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and osteoporosis.

Though adults with chronic illnesses may be hesitant to exercise, the AAFP notes that it’s possible for men and women who have been diagnosed with such conditions to exercise safely. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that regular physical activity is one of the most important things seniors can do for their health and can potentially prevent many health problems associated with aging.

FREQUENCY OF EXERCISE Seniors, particularly those who have not

EXERCISE exercised much in the past, may not know how much exercise they need to reap the full rewards of physical activity.

Though it’s best to discuss exercise with a physician prior to beginning a new regimen, various public health agencies advise seniors to get at least 2.5 hours of moderate aerobic exercise each week.

Brisk walking is one example of moderate aerobic exercise. Seniors who want to sweat a little more when exercising can replace moderate aerobic exercise with one hour and 15 minutes of vigorous exercise, such as jogging, each week.

IS STRENGTH TRAINING SAFE? The CDC advises seniors to incorporate muscle-strengthening activities into their weekly fitness routines twice per week.

Lifting waits, working with resistance bands, heavy gardening, and even some forms of yoga qualify as musclestrengthening activities. Exercises that use your body weight for resistance, such as sit-ups and push-ups, also can help build strength.

Always speak with a physician before

beginning a muscle-strengthening exercise regimen and, if possible, work with a personal trainer, especially if you’re a novice.

WHEN TO STOP A WORKOUT It’s imperative that seniors recognize when to stop working out. Exercising more than is recommended by your doctor can increase the risk of illness or injury.

In addition, stop exercising if any of the following symptoms appear: • Dizziness or shortness of breath; • Chest pain or pressure; • Swollen joints; • Nausea; • Tightness in muscles or joints; • Pain anywhere in the body; and/or • Throbbing or burning sensations.

(METRO CREATIVE)

Exercise can help seniors stay healthy and feel more energetic throughout the day. Before beginning a new regimen, they should discuss physical activity with their physicians.

GOOD CREDIT

HOME BUYING AND BORROWING Buying a home is often considered a big financial step forward for young people, but that doesn’t mean aging men and women are completely out of the real estate market.

In its 2020 “State of the Nation’s Housing” report, the Joint Center for

Housing Studies of Harvard University reported that the share of homeowners age 65 and over with housing debt doubled to 42 percent between 1989 and 2019.

In addition, 27 percent of homeowners age 80 and over were carrying mortgage debt in 2019. Maintaining strong credit after retirement can help homeowners who still have mortgage debt get better terms if they choose to refinance their mortgages.

Even seniors who have paid off their mortgages can benefit from maintaining good credit if they decide to downsize to a smaller home but cannot afford to simply buy the new home outright.

REWARDS Retirement is often associated with travel, recreation and leisure. Such pursuits can be more affordable when seniors utilize rewards-based credit cards that help them finance vacations, weekend getaways and other expenses associated with traveling.

Seniors who maintain strong credit ratings into their golden years may have more access to the best travel-based rewards cards than those whose credit scores dip in retirement.

UNFORESEEN EXPENSES No one knows what’s around the corner, but savvy seniors recognize the importance of planning for the unknown.

The COVID-19 pandemic seemingly came out of nowhere, and among its many ripple effects was the sudden job loss experienced by seniors.

The JCHS report found that 21 percent of homeowners age 65 and over had reported loss of employment income related to the pandemic.

Unforeseen medical expenses also can compromise seniors’ financial freedom.

Maintaining a strong credit rating into older adulthood can help seniors navigate such financial uncertainty more smoothly.

Such a strategy can help seniors secure low-interest loans or credit cards that can help them pay down sudden, unforeseen expenses without getting into significant debt.

The importance of a strong credit rating is often emphasized to young people.

However, a strong credit rating can be equally beneficial for seniors.

LIVING SENIOR - FALL 2023

The benefits of maintaining good credit include looking more reliable in the eyes of prospective employers and securing lower mortgage interest rates when buying a home.

Those rewards can benefit anyone, but they’re especially enticing to young people. But what about seniors? Do individuals stand to benefit significantly from maintaining good credit into their golden years?

According to the credit reporting agency Experian, senior citizens tend to have the best credit scores of any consumer demographic.

That could be a byproduct of years of financial discipline, and there are many benefits to maintaining that discipline into retirement.

every move.

According to a report in The Atlantic, more than one-third of baby boomers are not currently married, and this generation has had higher rates of separation and divorce and lower rates of marriage than the generations that preceded them.

Many boomers have years ahead of them to devote to new relationships.

Here’s what they may want to know before navigating twenty-first century dating waters.

You have more time for fun As a senior, you may have more time to devote to recreation and leisure.

This can be a great opportunity to get out and meet someone who shares your passions and interests.

You’re not in this alone While online dating may be portrayed as a young person’s game, plenty of older adults are now finding connections online.

In fact, many different dating apps are

geared toward the senior set, including SeniorMatch, eHarmony, Singles50, OKCupid, and Silver Singles, among others.

Online dating has its advantages While online dating apps and websites may have certain things working against them, particularly if their algorithms for pairing people are not fine-tuned, they also can be helpful.

Online dating can expand social circles beyond local neighborhoods or even states, provinces or countries. You’re casting your net over a much larger body of water.

Furthermore, dating app profiles typically spell out exactly what another person is seeking, which can save seniors from having to revisit awkward dating moments from years past.

Seniors may have to navigate new waters in modern dating. But with a good mindset and a little persistence, it is possible for seniors to find a special someone in cyberspace.

People are living longer, a reality that can be traced to a number of factors, including advancements in medicine and greater dissemination of information regarding preventive health care.

According to data from the United Nations Population Division, the average life expectancy in the United States is 81.65 for women and 76.61 for men.

Canada has even higher life expectancies, at 84.74 for women and 81.15 for men.

As people live longer, some may outlive their significant others and ultimately find themselves once again interested in sharing experiences with a special someone.

Seniors ready to re-enter the dating pool may find that things are quite different from what they experienced as teenagers or young adults. Dating used to be about hanging out with friends and meeting people at shared events, such as school dances or work parties or even while enjoying a night out with friends.

Nowadays, dating often begins in cyberspace. This can be confusing and anxiety-inducing for adults who didn’t grow up with technology guiding their

Safety upgrades for seniors’ homes

Change knobs to levers This is an easy modification. Levers are much easier for individuals with arthritis or persons who lack dexterity in their hands.

Everything from doorknobs to faucet knobs can be replaced with levers.

Create zero-threshold entryways

Consider smart lighting

Zero-threshold entryways, also known as flush entries, do not require crossing a lip or any raised barrier. They can appear on doorways and showers and make it easy for people who have mobility issues, as well as those using scooters, walkers and wheelchairs, to move about unencumbered.

Motion-activated or darknessactivated lighting switches and fixtures can automatically turn on lights, thereby improving visibility. Also, rocker light switches are easier to maneuver than standard toggles.

Clear clutter, move obstructions One inexpensive modification is to remove extraneous furniture and accessories. Such a change widens walking spaces in a room and accommodates walkers and wheelchairs. In addition, furniture can be pushed to the room’s perimeter to make moving around easier.

It’s also important to remove area rugs, as they’re often tripping hazards.

Install grab rails and supports Minimizing falls could come down to providing support in key rooms of a home.

Adding grab rails in the bathroom near the toilet and in the shower can help a person use those facilities without assistance.

Install a grab rail close to seating in the kitchen to add support.

Invest in a stairlift Single-story homes are preferable for growing older gracefully, but many seniors live in multi-story homes. A stairlift makes a multi-floor home more accessible, according to Elder, an eldercare service provider. Stairlifts make it easier to traverse staircases and reduce the risk for falls.

These suggestions are just a few of the many home modifications that can help seniors safely age in place.

(METRO CREATIVE)

Certain adaptations should be discussed, and implemented as needed, with seniors who want to stay in their homes.

LIVING SENIOR - FALL 2023

Many seniors want to spend as long as possible residing in the comforts of their own homes. According to AARP’s “Home and Community Preferences Survey,” more than three-quarters of U.S. adults age 50 and older prefer living at home.

But getting older often comes with certain deficits that may not make current living situations the safest for seniors.

Retirement Living reports that an older person is treated in an emergency room for a fall-related injury nearly once every 10 seconds. Falls cause millions of injuries and 32,000 deaths a year, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Seniors may be affected by low vision, mobility limitations, cognitive decline, balance issues, and loss of muscle strength.

Certain adaptations may be necessary if seniors want to stay in their homes, particularly in older homes that have not recently been renovated.
