TEENS: Declining rate From Page A1 “We make sure they are connected with a doctor, make sure they are aware of community resources that exist, make sure they have the insurance they need,” she said. They also work with the teens on parenting skills and family planning, and they teach them about child development. After the baby is born, “we make sure they are going to those well-baby visits, which are very frequent when the baby is first born,” Rizzitano said. The program is voluntary, with teens referred to the county through other agencies. “We try to make sure that if they are pregnant as a teenager that they are getting the resources they need,” Rizzitano said.

Several factors Several factors are contributing to the declining

teen birth rate, according to data from the Pew Research Center. According to Pew, the number of teen girls who have had sex is on the decline, falling from 51 percent in 1988 to 43 percent in 2010, the most recent data from the National Survey of Family Growth. At the same time, teenage girls who are having sex are more likely to use birth control. According to Pew, significantly higher percentages of teens are using contraceptives than in the past. In the most recent data, 78 percent of teens said they used contraceptives the first time they had sex; 86 percent used contraception during their most recent sex. Rizzitano said the county makes contraceptives available through a wellness clinic at Women, Infants and Children offices, and through the Health Department.

LOS ANGELES TIMES

Years before an unmanned rocket erupted in a fireball in October, NASA officials knew the metal in its 50-year-old Soviet-made engines could crack, causing fuel to leak and ignite, government documents show. As early as 2008, a NASA committee warned about the “substantial” risk of using the decades-old engines, and a fire during a 2011 engine test in Mississippi heightened the agency’s concern. The engines had a “fundamental flaw in the materials,” said a top manager for NASA’s contracted rocket builder, Orbital Sciences, in a 2013 interview with an agency historian. The Soviet engines were built in the

prediction(s) for 2015? A. I have never been very good at making predictions because I base decisions off of data, input from others and expert advice. Through a collective and thorough process, I am then able to make decisions. However, if pressed, I would predict that the economic growth happening in our community will bring greater attention to our community schools, which we welcome with open arms. We have many wonderful things happening in our schools, and we want our community to know it, from integrating technology in ways never fathomed 10 years ago, to performing award-winning theatrical plays, to developing philanthropic strategies that raise thousands of dollars for community organizations, to handling every new initiative thrown our way via state and federal mandates and/or changes. Our staff and students are amazing, and I predict they will continue to be amazing in 2015.

ment for every student in KUSD. I hope to do this by continuing to engage our staff, students and community in our learning environment. I also want to continue encouraging everyone to be involved when talking about the future of our children and young adult learners in this community. We have many great leaders and role models who have been and are willing to include KUSD in their world, which provides our students with more learning and/or work-related experiences than ever before. I believe in the governance structure of our School Board, and I hope that the positive and productive work of 2014 continues into this year. It will take a positive district and board relationship to remain focused on the board’s main goals: student achievement, fiscal responsibility and professional growth opportunities for staff. Q.

1960s and 1970s in a failed attempt to take cosmonauts to the moon. “They were never designed to be in storage that long,” said the Orbital manager, Ken Eberly, deputy director for the rocket program. The explosion, just seconds after liftoff from a Virginia launch pad on Oct. 28, destroyed tens of millions of dollars in taxpayer-funded supplies, experiments and equipment, all bound for the International Space Station. The episode has raised questions about NASA’s oversight of a new program to hire private contractors to carry cargo and astronauts to orbit, rather than operate the spacecraft itself.

MADISON INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY

FIRST TIME WINNERS HIGHLIGHT FRIDAY ACTION AT COLUMBUS 151

Dave Feiler Cruises to Victory at MIS

By Charlie Spry Columbus, WI. (Friday, May 30, 2014). Veteran late model pilot Ron Bishofberger has won more features than anyone in his division, and added to that total on Friday night, while Collin Tomlinson, Chester Williams, Dalton Jones, and Nick Weiss won their career first features in the street stock, hobby stock, Bandit, and Backup divisions respectively. Tiffany Desjarlais took the early lead in the late model feature, but Bishofberger took command by lap two. Brady Liddle then worked outside of Desjarlais for the second position, and joined Bishofberger as the pair began to distance themselves from the rest of the field. A caution on lap seven for a car on fire slowed the field, and when racing resumed, Bishofberger kept the lead with Liddle on his bumper, as they were now joined by Jake Vanoskey, Jerry Eckhardt, Aaron Wilke and Don Gaserude. Gaserude was the man on the move, as he went to the top side to get by Eckhardt on lap twenty, then slowly worked on Vanoskey, grabbing the third spot on lap twenty-three. Gaserude continued to work outside to pass Liddle, as the field tightened up behind leader Bishofberger. Gaserude cleared for the second spot on lap twentyseven, and tried his best to continue the momentum to pass Bishofberger for the win, falling a few feet short at the line, with Bishofberger winning, followed by Gaserude, Liddle, Vanoskey and Wilke. Bishofberger and Liddle were winners of the heat races earlier in the evening. Collin Tomlinson and Tim Belz started the street stock feature on the front row, running side-by-side for two laps before Tomlinson cleared for the lead. Belz faded back, as Dan Schmidt found a spot immediately behind Tomlinson, with Steven Sauer looking for any way possible around the lead pair. Sauer repeatedly tried the outside to no avail, as Schmidt stayed glued to Tomlinson's bumper, looking for any mistake by the Poynette pilot to make a move. A caution on lap fourteen changed little, as the same scenario took place, but Tomlinson stayed true to course, driving a flawless race to capture his career first street stock feature over Schmidt, Sauer, and Belz. Tomlinson also captured the win in the heat race earlier in the evening. Eric Bennett took the lead at the start of the hobby stock feature, with Michael Held following. Held wasted little time in moving outside of Bennett to grab the lead on lap three, as Cody Buchs followed his charge. Chester Williams decided to join the party, as he moved alongside Buchs to challenge. Williams made the pass on Buchs for second on lap nine, then moved outside of Held, gaining the edge on lap nineteen. Williams stayed his course, as Justin Kumbier seemed to come from nowhere to pass Buchs for third on lap twenty-two. Nothing else changed up front, as Williams guided the field to the checkers for the win, followed by Held, Kumbier, Buchs, and Bennett. Bennett was the heat race winner. Dalton Jones took control of the Bandit feature at the start, but soon had company, as Nick Schmidt pursued the lead on the outside. Schmidt drifted back a bit, and was joined with a pack of cars that included Jeremy Bredeson, Jamie Kohn, and Keith Erickson. As this pack of cars battled, Jones used this opportunity to pull away a bit, but Bredeson separated himself from the others and began chasing down Jones, who now encountered lapped traffic, allowing Bredeson and Kohn to catch up. Jones carefully maneuvered around the traffic to garner his first feature win over Bredeson, Kohn, Erickson, and Schmidt. Jones and Schmidt were the heat race winners. George Wachuta took the early lead in the Backup car feature, but spun out on lap two, giving the lead to Nick Weiss. Weiss drove a steady race, as veterans Matt Wachuta and Andy Ward moved up to challenge. The lead trio worked around traffic and stayed close to one another, but in the end Weiss proved too strong, taking his first career Backup feature over Matt Wachuta and Ward. The Legends cars were our guest division on hand tonight, with Aaron Moyer taking the lead at the start of the feature. Cory Talaska found himself in second spot by lap two, and quickly moved in on Moyer, taking the lead almost immediately after. Johnny Kringas moved around Matt Berlin for third shortly thereafter, as Talaska and Moyer distanced themselves from the rest of the field. Talaska cruised home to the win over Moyer, Kringas, Kyle Jusits, and Matt Berlin. Moyer won the heat race and Talaska set fast time.

by John Wells Dave Feiler of Sun Prairie took the lead on lap 20 and led the rest of the way to pickup the win in the Ho Chuck Gaming Super Late Model Triple Crown Challenge and took home the big purse money of $4000. Will Rece won in the Daveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s White Rock Sportsman and Brandon DeLacy won in the Roto Rooter Bandits.

NEXT EVENT Friday, June 6 $5 Friday Fun Night

Casey Johnson took the early lead in the Ho Chunk Gaming Triple Crown Challenge 100 before losing it to Bobby Kendall on lap 3. Kendallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s night would come to an early end when he lost power on lap 11 giving the lead to Jeff Storm. Storm held the lead for two laps when the caution flag waved when Jeremy Miller made contact with the wall. Johnson would regain the lead only to have Feiler sail by him on lap 20. Feiler was fast and flying out front as the rest of the field tried to keep him in their sites. Chris Wimmer appeared to be the fastest and by the competition yellow and ten minute break at lap 75 was up to second. Feiler elected to restart on the inside with Wimmer on the outside. Feiler maintained the lead by half a car length with Wimmer second followed by Johnson, Michael Bilderback, and Bobby Wilberg. On lap 83 Johnson passed Wimmer for the second spot with much ground to cover if he hoped to catch the leader, but nobody could catch Feiler tonight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the winter we did a lot of work on this car and it took a lot of time. It was really hooked up tonight. I have to dedicate this win to Bruce Mueller from B and B. There are so many people I need to thank. If it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for all of our sponsors it would be pretty tough to put all this together,â&#x20AC;? said Feiler from victory lane. Will Rece of Stoughton claimed top honors in the Sportsman winning the twenty lap feature. Mike Taylor took the early lead and held it for the first four laps before Rece squeezed by on the inside coming out of turn two on lap 5 to take the lead. Ryan Golade and Kody Hubred were up to challenge Rece as the three broke away from the pack. While Goldade and Hubred fought it out for second, Rece increased his lead while those in pursuit could only hope for a caution flag. It never came and Rece rolled to the win. Rece commented, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just glad we had it hooked up on the outside tonight.â&#x20AC;? Brandon DeLacy of Stoughton won the 20 lap feature for the Bandits picking up his first-ever victory at MIS. DeLacy took the early lead from the pole and built up a five car advantage over Jon Coker and Dan Snyder after the first five laps. The race stayed green the entire way and nobody was able to catch DeLacy who powered his way to victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had to make some changes before we made it out for the feature,â&#x20AC;? said DeLacy from victory lane. The complete story and everything you need to know is available at madisoninternationalspeedway.com. Racing continues Friday, June 6th with Late Models, Sportsman, Legends, and Bandits. Practice begins at 4:45, qualifying at 6:00 and racing at 7:30. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss the event of the year when Matt Kenseth will be at MIS on Tuesday, June 17th racing in the Colony Brands 100. MIS is located on Sunrise Road just south of Highway 138 two miles east of Oregon. Dave Feiler was fast qualifier and won the feature in the Super Late Model Division.

Wanted: A place to keep Wausauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stray cats â&#x2013; City council rejects

humane society contract Associated Press WAUSAU

Police in Wausau have stopped picking up stray cats because they have no place to put them after the city rejected a contract with the Humane Society of Marathon County. Wausau is looking for another organization to care for the cats after it voted against an $80,000 agreement with the Humane Society for the service,

Daily Herald Media reported. The issue isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t unique to Wausau. Marathon County defunded stray cat care for 2014 and instead passed the cost down to municipalities. So far, only one town has agreed to a contract. The county agreed to give towns some funding for two years. Those funds would knock Wausauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s price tag for 2014 down to $62,500. A city ordinance requires that any pet found without a rabies vaccination tag must be impounded and cared for. Police havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been doing that

since the city rejected the contract in January, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s put Wausau in a bind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have some exposure because no one wants to violate new ordinances,â&#x20AC;? Wausau Mayor Jim Tipple said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we have to come up with a solution.â&#x20AC;? The humane society contract estimates the cost of housing each cat is about $200. Humane society board President Linda Berna-Karger said thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s non-negotiable. The Wausau council voted 73 against approving the contract, with some members expressing dismay over the hu-

mane societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hardline offer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was disappointed the humane society didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t follow up with an offer and try to negotiate,â&#x20AC;? council member Jim Brezinski said. The city expects to send out a request for proposals in the coming weeks in search of a better deal. Meanwhile, the city will decide whether it will pay the $480 bill for four cats sent to the humane society in the first two weeks of this year. City officials said the cats were dropped off by the Marathon County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department.

Firefighters disciplined for vandalism Associated Press MILWAUKEE

Five Milwaukee firefighters accused of vandalizing a firehouse last September wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be fired. The Milwaukee Fire Department says two of the firefighters who failed to properly prevent or report the vandalism will be demoted. All five will serve unpaid 30-day suspensions and take remedial training. Nine firefighters were suspended Sept. 30 after Engine House 32 was found vandalized. It was the last shift before the firefighters were expected to be transferred to other firehouses. Since an internal investigation began in October, two firefighters have taken early retirement and two probationary firefighters were fired. Last month, an investigation board recommended the remaining five firefighters be fired. But a department news release Friday said most of the vandalism and disorder was committed by people who have already left.

Open government violations draw few citations Residents: Complaints tend to be ignored Associated Press SHEBOYGAN

Public officials in Wisconsin can be fined hundreds of dollars for violating Wisconsinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open government laws, but court records show only seven citations have been imposed across the state in the past five years for open meetings violations, and none for public records cases. Prosecutors say thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because officials largely comply with the law and violations typically are best remedied

by corrective actions rather than penalties. But Gannett Wisconsin Media reported Saturday that some residents say another factor is in playâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;their complaints fall on deaf ears. After the Appleton Area School District denied Marilyn Barteltâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request for disciplinary records of employees in the special needs program, she sent a letter to the Outagamie County district attorney seeking intervention. She got no answer. Susan Lodl uncovered open meetings violations preceding a $500,000 outlay for two wind turbines in her Sheboygan County village in 2010, so she sought action from Sheboygan

Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s district attorney. She got no answer either. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Someone had to do something,â&#x20AC;? Lodl said. Both spent thousands of dollars on civil litigation in an attempt to force their local governments to comply with state law. They succeeded but say the onus shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be on citizens when state law empowers prosecutors to enforce the law on the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behalf. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I absolutely believe that there is an obligation to enforce open records without requiring people to seek an attorney,â&#x20AC;? said Barteltâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter, Rebecca Kostopolus. Gannett Wisconsin Media hired Court Data Technologies in Madison

for a search of circuit court records, which found seven citations since 2009. Seven stem from three meetings: in Dunn County in July 2011, in Iron County in August 2009 and in Grant County in June 2009. Bill Lueders, president of the Wisconsin Freedom of Information Council, said he was surprised the number was as high as seven. â&#x20AC;&#x153;District attorneys are traditionally very reluctant to use the resources of their office to enforce the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s openness laws. They just regard it as not a priority,â&#x20AC;? Lueders said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that there should be more occasions in which district attorneys are going to bat for the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right to know.â&#x20AC;?

Wisconsin law provides for penalties of up to $1,000 for public records law violations and $300 for open meeting violations. Five of the seven cases yielded fines, including three town of Red Cedar board members fined $200.50 apiece in the Dunn County case. Two town of Smelser board members were fined $154.50 in the Grant County case. In Iron County, two town of Pence board members were sentenced to 25 hours of community service with no fine. Court records show 17 other cases related to open meetings violations were filed, but they were later dismissed.

‘Lego Movie’ opens big at box office NEW YORK (AP) — “The Lego Movie” clicked with moviegoers, assembling an exceptional $69.1 million debut at the weekend box office, according to studio estimates. The better-than-expected result made the Warner Bros. collaboration with the Danish toy company easily the biggest hit of the year so far. A sequel is already in development for the 3-D animated film, digitally drawn to mimic a world composed entirely of Lego bricks. The film has drawn raves from critics. Co-directors and co-writers Phil Lord and Chris Miller (“21 Jump Street,” ‘’Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs”) gave the film a playful tone to capture the whimsy of a child playing in a box of Legos. Characters are largely voiced by comic actors like Will Ferrell and Chris Pratt. The film marks the biggest animation hit for Warner Bros., a studio that despite popular live-action franchises has struggled to develop animated hits on par with other studios. “I can’t imagine this not turning into a long-term franchise,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for box-office tracker Rentrak. “This is such a runaway success that Warner Bros is now a major player in the animated genre.”

This image released by Warner Bros. Pictures shows characters, from left, Benny, voiced by Charlie Day, Batman, voiced by Will Arnett, Vitruvius, voiced by Morgan Freeman, Wyldstyle, voiced by Elizabeth Banks and Unikitty, voiced by Alison Brie, in a scene from “The Lego Movie.” Dan Fellman, head of distribution for Warner Bros., said the film, made with a production budget of $60 million, resounded because of the popularity of the Lego brand. This is the first feature film for the toy company. Fellow toy-maker Hasbro has seen mixed results since the launch of the “Transformers” franchise, which was followed by “G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra” and the notorious flop “Battleship.” George Clooney’s World War II caper “The Monuments Men” opened in second place with $22.7 million. Reviews have been weak for the based-on-a-true-story tale

about the mission to retrieve artwork stolen by the Nazis. The Sony Pictures film was postponed from a Dec. 25 release because, Clooney then said, more time was needed to finish the visual effects. Clooney served as director, co-writer, producer and star on the film. “The Monuments Men,” based on the nonfiction book by Robert Edsel and Brett Witter, was particularly popular with older moviegoers, with 75 percent of its audience aged 35 and older. “It’s right where we hoped to be,” said Rory Bruer, head of dis-

tribution for Sony. “There’s a lot of love for George and the ensemble cast.” Sliding to third was the cop comedy “Ride Along,” with Kevin Hart and Ice Cube. After three straight weeks atop the box office, the Universal film earned $9.4 million. The Weinstein Co.’s bid for a young adult franchise, “Vampire Academy,” opened poorly with just $4.1 million. The PG-13 film, based on Richelle Mead’s young adult novels, is about mortal vampires at a boarding school. Before opening in North America next weekend, Sony’s “RoboCop” took in $20.2 million overseas. 1. “The Lego Movie,” $69.1 million ($18.1 million international). 2. “The Monuments Men,” $22.7 million. 3. “Ride Along,” $9.4 million. 4. “Frozen,” $6.9 million ($24 million international). 5. “That Awkward Moment,” $5.5 million ($1.1 million international). 6. “Lone Survivor,” $5.3 million ($1 million international). 7. “Vampire Academy,” $4.1 million. 8. “The Nut Job,” $3.8 million. 9. “Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit,” $3.6 million ($5.3 million international). 10. “Labor Day,” $3.2 million.

mall walkers find common ground

No matter the person’s age, regular exercise has health benefits. “Walking is great for heart health and overall wellness,” said Dana Emold, Bayshore Project Coordinator for the Harry & Rose Samson Family’s J-Shore storefront. Emold coordinates the walking program at Bayshore Town Center.

Mall walking has grown in popularity in the last decade for many reasons: no automobile traffic, safe environment, climate controlled and the walking surface is level. Walking in the winter weather poses problems for anyone. But, for seniors, navigating ice and brutal winds can easily derail their exercise resolve.

Area malls have established walking programs, although there is no need to join a program to walk in a mall. “We developed a community partnership with Bayshore Town Center,” Emold said of the J-Walkers program. “It’s free and open to anyone.” Program participants, who range in age from 40- to 90-years-old, need to sign up for the program at Bayshore Town Center’s customer service or at the J-Shore storefront to get a key fob – which allows the participant to scan in logging attendance, distance and time. Bayshore Town Center sees walkers mostly from 8 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., lunchtime and in the evening. The program awards $25 gift cards to walkers who walk four times a week within a month’s time. “We also display their name in the J-Shore window,” Emold said. Miriam Mayer of Whitefish Bay is a frequent walker in the J-Walkers program. “Miriam walks once, sometimes twice, a day, seven days a week, for at least 45 Continued on page 10

With recent changes in health care laws and regulations, confusion seems to be growing. But a group of senior advocates across Wisconsin is working to keep the signup process for Medicare as straightforward as possible. They include people like Denise Grossman, an elder benefit specialist in Jefferson County, who is working to help seniors sort through any confusion they may have regarding Medicare and how to claim benefits. Grossman’s first advice: There is no best answer that fits across the board. Everybody’s situation is different, she said. First, anyone already on Social Security – either drawing benefits early or at age 65 – is already enrolled. The Social Security Administration will generate the Medicare cards and send them to beneficiaries, about three months before their 65th birthday. Medicare is essentially in two parts. Part A is the in-patient hospital benefit. This is the amount workers pay each month into the trust fund as deductions from paychecks. Part B is the medical insurance that pays for doctor visits, certain medical equipment, outpatient services, ambulance calls, emergency rooms, laboratory work and some of the enhanced preventive Continued on page 5

benefits, among others. This is the benefit for which seniors pay a monthly premium, Grossman said. These premiums are automatically withheld from Social Security benefits. If a senior is not yet drawing benefits, there is an initial seven-month window during which a senior can sign up without a penalty. This window is three months prior to the 65th birthday, the month of the 65th birthday and the three months after. Grossman said this is the window during which seniors should evaluate whether it is the time to sign up or not. The first decision seniors have to make is whether to sign up for the Part B Medicare benefits, which costs about $105 per month in 2014. In certain circumstances – such as if the senior is still working – the senior may opt out until a later date in favor of private insurance benefits that may be available, either through that individual’s employer or spouse’s employer. By and large, if such benefits are available, the government will want the senior to take advantage of that private benefit prior to drawing Medicare Part B benefits.

Beyond these basics, there are considerations for whether a senior should buy a Medicare supplement plan. Such coverage helps fill the holes or gaps in Part A and Part B coverage. In Wisconsin, the state requires standard benefits, making it relatively easy to compare.

Should a senior wish to sign up after that initial seven-month period, then the senior will need to call the Social Security Administration to have two forms sent that will need to be completed and returned in order for Part B coverage to begin.

Once a senior is within the initial seven-month enrollment period, enrollment can be completed online at fsa.gov. Coverage will begin the first of the month of the senior’s 65th birthday. Though the eligibility continues for three months after the 65th birthday, should one sign up after the 65th birthday, coverage will begin on the first of the month following enrollment.

Should a senior opt out of Part B benefits initially, in favor of private health insurance, then they qualify for an ongoing Special Enrollment Period. This window continues while the senior is taking advantage of private coverage and Part B coverage can be added without penalty. Once a senior or the spouse providing coverage retires, there is an eight-month window during which a senior must begin Part B coverage, even if private retiree coverage is available, in order to avoid incurring a penalty.

In an ideal world, retirement would be a time when worry about money would be a memory. But research conducted in 2012 by the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) reports that about 25 percent of workers and retirees older than 50 said they dipped into their savings to pay for basic expenses. Experts like Mariann Muzzi, associate state director community outreach for AARP Wisconsin, said people are leading longer, healthier, more productive lives and they are beginning to wake up to what this new longevity means. “This transition into what we used to call ‘old age’ is creating a new stage of development in our life cycle,” Muzzi said. “Boomers created this new life stage, and are rejecting the notion that their possibilities are shrinking as they get older, that their possibilities should not be coming less but should be ageless. They want to use their years of experience not to ‘wind down,’ but to reach even higher.” Planning for finances as a senior is becoming more and more important, and more nuanced. Because, within the years of being a senior, they will have many stages and will have to watch their financial stability all the way through that, she said.

“For those of us in our late 60s and early 70s, there’s another life stage where maybe they’re looking at changing houses and maybe stopping that second job, downsizing and changing the lifestyle again. Then when we’re in our 80s and 90s there is yet another set of financial considerations to consider. All through these cycles, it’s important to be recalibrating and re-estimating what our needs will be based on our financial position and physical health,” Muzzi said. Continued on page 7

senior retirement From page 6 So a person needs to take a staged approach to their senior years and making a plan, assessing his or her financial picture currently, and projecting into those future years. Each stage should also entail estimating health costs and what will be the best strategy for claiming Social Security, day-to-day expenses like housing, paying off debt, how much a person can save and how the person can maximize the money he or she has. Muzzi said the first place to start is assessing what monthly expenses are, then monthly income. “It’s wise for everyone to know what their expenses are on a monthly basis and what their income is and making sure the two match,” she said. “It’s best if, as we’re moving to our senior years, we’re not taking debt with us and we’re living within our means. We then need to make sure that’s happening and if we need to change our housing situation, looking for a different phone provider and all the different things we can do to maximize our resources while still being able to save and be thinking about what we need to have for the future.” The answers to each one of those questions is different at each one of those stages and using online tools and calculators can really help guide that process of thinking about each stage of those senior years. The way Muzzi and AARP see it, it is about building confidence about the financial future and that confidence translates to freedom, sense of engagement in the community and choices in the future. “It’s important so that you have a sense of what your future will look like by taking a few steps now,” she said. The easiest way AARP helps seniors budget is to provide access to tools, quizzes, tip sheets, calculators and more. Visit www.aarp.org for more information.

Fashion is all about great fit

j.a. berger | Contributor

The good news is there is no age limit on being fashionable. If a person knows a few tips and trends to select clothing for his or her body, the person will look on trend and up-to-date. More and more baby boomers come into the mature clothing market every day. “Baby Boomers are staying fit,” said Jennifer Lenda, director of merchant marketing for Boston Store. “They want clothing that is relevant and on-trend.” However, as women age out of the employment market, they need fewer items in their wardrobe. So what they have should fit and be fashionable.

Cut and fit “Yes, buy what fits your body,” Lenda said. “We love a classic jacket. It is so versatile. Then accessorize it with a loop scarf in a bright color.”

Generations | An Advertising Section | Milwaukee Journal Sentinel | March 16, 2014

Boston Store Karen Kane Jacket

Do not purchase items that are too big hoping it will cover body flaws. If a person is petite, buy petite clothing. A jacket that is too long will look overwhelming and give a frame too much volume. Find a jacket that nips in at the waist emphasizing that feature that may be fading with age. If individuals are short in stature, try jackets that hit at the waist or just below. This cut will also give the wearer the illusion of a waist. If the sleeves are too long, have it tailored. “We are showing a Karen Kane draped bolero jacket for spring,” Lenda said. “It’s short in the front and long in the back, giving you a beautiful silhouette.” Pants need to fit in the waist and the drop, and be the correct length. If the cut is really wrong, move on to a different manufacturer. Shopping for clothing is trial and error. Keep trying until the person finds a line that fits. “Don’t be afraid to make it right,” said Kara Kading, assistant buyer for Milaeger’s. “If you find a pair of pants that fit well everywhere except in the length, we can recommend a tailor.” An item of clothing that fits impeccably is worth the money. Hemlines should be appropriate for the age. Too long is almost as bad as too short. Depending on height, a hemline should fall at or just below the knee. “Our Calvin Klein line offers shorter and longer lengths,” Lenda said.

Do a trend correctly “No woman wants to look older,” Kading said. “They want to look smart and on trend in clothing that fits and never looks inappropriate.” Leggings are a trend that will never look inappropriate if done correctly. “Every size woman can wear leggings,” Kading said. “The trick is to layer correctly.” Wearing a tunic over leggings with a great pair of boots is an updated look. Try belting the tunic to give it shape and layer it with a brightly colored scarf. Continued on page 9

fashion From page 8 For some women, jeans will always be a part of their wardrobe. “We carry ‘Not Your Daughter’s Jeans.’ They have a fabulous fit,” Lenda said. “Also choose updated fabrics. Something with a little bit of Lycra can be figureflattering.” Feminine dressing is a trend for every age, Kading said. “In dresses and skirts, we are seeing beautiful textured fabrics, embellishments, chiffon edging,” she said. Nautical influences are once again strong for spring and summer. “We are seeing a lot more stripes,” Kading said. Stripes can be tricky to wear, so less is more when it comes to this trend.

Color For spring 2014, corals, aqua, soft greens and various shades of blue are strong color influences. “Pick an element in the season’s latest color trend to update your look,” Lenda said. “And black and white is always timeless,” Kading said. Regardless of the latest trends, it is smarter to have fewer, higher quality items in a wardrobe than spend money on clothing that is poorly made or ill-fitting.

maLL waLkers From page 2 minutes,” Emold said. Mayer has been honored with this year’s Most Frequent Walker Award of the J-Walker program. For the past 15 years, Mayer, a retired women’s clothing store owner, has been walking regularly at the mall and around town. A diabetic, Mayer said walking has helped bring down her blood sugar levels. Just as important, she has made many friends who stop to say hello whenever she walks at the mall. “Yes, the social component is very important,” Emold said. “And they look out for one another. If someone who comes frequently doesn’t show up for a time, people inquire. Miriam is fantastic. She’s a model walker. She’s the reason we do this.” There are over 200 participants since the J-Walker program began three years ago. Walkers hit Mayfair Mall early by 6:30 a.m. The upper floor is carpeted, the lighting dim. Many walkers are purposeful with ear buds in place listening to music to provide pace. It is a half mile around the interior perimeter of the mall; add all six corridors to extend the lap to 3/4 of a mile. Malls typically have music playing, but for many mall walkers this is social time. Many seniors have lost peers and spouses. It becomes more difficult to make friends as people age. Gathering to walk the mall gives them common ground.
