I’ve been going to the rehab center for the last five years, but before that I would do a five-mile walk in the park,” said Lancon. “This definitely keeps me healthy and going. I thank God for what I have. I sometimes fool my own self.” Lancon, a welder by trade, said he retired at the age of 62, but turned to crawfishing as a means of staying active and continued until he reached his 80th birthday. “I don’t push my mind or body to exceed my capabilities. I don’t overload my mind and I try to keep my mind on what is necessary,” he said.

old age. She also believes it is important to keep the mind active to avoid that lapse of memory moments often referred to as “senior moments.” She is still physically active and turns to Petit Point needlepoint to keep her mind active. Mayer said she began doing needlepoint work in the 1970s and hadn’t stopped yet. “You have to follow a pattern so this puts my brain to work. Petit Point requires 1,600 stitches a square inch so you have to be really focused, while regular needlepoint requires only 476 stitches” said Mayer. Her museum-quality needlepoint earned her a national award in the 1993, with her needlepoint featured on the

cover of National Needlepoint Magazine. Evelyn Boutte said she is a constant reader, enjoys crossword puzzles as a way to stimulate her mind and often plays bridge on the Internet. She doesn’t shy away from technology and is a big fan of Facebook. At the age of 83, Boutte said she sometimes finds herself giving advice to younger people on technology. She served as a tour guide for the Shadows-on-the-Teche for the past eight years, but recently had to limit some of her outside activities since she now serves as a fulltime caregiver of her husband who is disabled. “I think it is important for older people to keep their mind and body active,” she said.

Benoit, a Nebraska native, said she is still alert and capable of driving long distances, noting the fact that she made a trip back to her home state alone and drove the entire distance.

Latiolais named Outstanding Volunteer By Connie Guidry Special to the Daily iberian

Walter J. Latiolais Sr., was named Volunteer of the Quarter by Iberia Parish Council on Aging. Latiolais has been a resident of Loreauville almost all his life, although he has done extensive traveling with his employment. Latiolais, 86, has been a volunteer with Iberia Council on Aging for about six years. He can often be found with camera in hand at many of the ICOA events taking pictures and videos.

Latiolais has numerous hobbies. He makes and repairs jewelry, spends lot of time on his computer and is a faithful Saints fan who loves football. He also enjoys visits from his children and grandchildren. He is a favorite of mine — maybe because he’s my Dad. I’m very proud of him and could probably write reams of paper about him, but I’ll stop here.

as it was my birthday. My aunts who raised me always felt that I might get cheated out of gifts, so that was my special day. Friends came over and I was allowed to use the pretty pink Depression glass dessert plates and bowls for the cake and ice cream. He brought me to his family so I could be raised properly. Family was very important to us and that is what a lot of tradition is about getting together as a family continuing the things that others before us did; and then finding new things

for our own families. As the older members of the family die, it is up to the others to continue the traditions and someone else picks up the reins. As Frank Olivier, a board member stated, it is about the family being together. I hope all of you have wonderful traditions that make your holidays special to you and your family. I hope all of you have a spiritual and blessed Christmas, and may your New Year be one with hope for the future with traditions that bring you all together.

Special memories created as families come together

his quarter I am writing to you about holiday traditions and how they have made many of us become part of a family, a community or a way of life. Alvin Merritt, a Iberia Council on Aging Board member, said that they always had a traditional Christmas meal, along with gumbo. Everybody pitched in for this meal and the entire family got together. He even went on to say that the family decided to enlarge the family home so that they could continue to gather as a family as the family grew in size. My neighbors Henry and Tina Farichild said that Christmas and the holidays were the only times they had cakes and punch. Everyone got together in the family and celebrated for

a week. It ended with Le Petite Bonhomme on New Year’s Eve. Salverine Malveaux, one of my employees said that everyone would gather together on Christmas Eve and would make homemade eggnog with egg whites and a little spiking of the mixture, and her father would tell stories as everyone in the family would prepare the Christmas luncheon. She said this preparation went on all night long. Connie Guidry, another employee, said that her mother always made a pot roast, stewed peas (yes, the peas were cooked in a roux and I can tell you from experience, it is wonderful), and homemade eggnog. Her family bought all the candy canes they could and the candy canes decorated the tree.

But often with the all the hype about Christmas and gifts, many of the family members felt let down after the carol holidays. So they whipp always received Guest their stockings, Columnist not on Christmas Eve, but on New n Year’s Eve. This was done by Mrs. Santa Claus or “Kristine” and the stockings were filled with nuts and fruit and small gifts. This was a way to extend the holidays a little longer. Vickie Olivier told me that on New Year’s Eve, her family gets together and has eggnog and gumbo and that at midnight they shoot the gun and pop

season and the fruitcake to mellow with the rum. Our attic was cold and I guess we didn’t have to worry about mice like you do down here after the cane is cut. For my family, we always had oyster stew on Christmas Eve with the little oyster crackers, and then everyone would gather at our house and we would exchange gifts. Then, on Christmas Day, we would go to my grandmother’s house, where the feasting began anew. But being in North Carolina, the food was different. We would have the ham (my grandfather had a smokehouse in his backyard), turkey and roast, but we always had stuffing. New Year’s Eve was my day

fireworks. They continue this tradition to this day. My husband, Edwin, said that every Christmas Eve they would go to midnight Mass and that always, his dad would say that he forgot something in the house. He wouldn’t be gone long but when they returned home from Mass, all the gifts from Santa would be by the tree. With four children, this was a real feat because it took him years before he realized that it was his father going back in the house before Mass and putting out the gifts. Our preparation for Christmas started the week of Thanksgiving. The party mix, the fruit cake, and sometimes the fudge were all made that week and then stored in the attic where it was allowed to

But recent studies have shown that cognitive abilities can improve into older age with simple behavior changes.
