Finding the Fountain of Youth After 55 The Other 25%

Mary Chris Kay is s advocate for activity

By Chris Watson

Once we reach age 60, most of us can expect to live another two decades, according to the Center for Disease Control. Life expectancy for those over 65 is 18-21 years (source www.cdc/nchs/fastats). In other words, we can expect to spend a full 25 percent of our lives “in retirement.”

In those stark, statistical terms, the challenge becomes clear: how do you spend those 20 years, seemingly a long time to be “retired”? Will it be an endless repetition of scanning the obits, counting our steps monitored by fitness watches, and worrying about our next blood draw to check cholesterol levels? We will, in these years, attend more funerals than weddings, more doctor’s appointments than kids’ sporting events, and see more advertising directed at being healthy and young, instead of being graceful and mature. These years do not have to be slow and dull, but how do we achieve that? The answer comes down to three A’s: awareness, activity, and association.

Awareness, but not Obsession

No one likes the person who constantly talks about his health– or his golf game for that matter. However, being aware of our health and physical abilities is reasonable, at any age.

“When starting a fitness program ex-

Donna Ryan teaches pilates pectations can be a bit out of whack, no matter the age of the person,” says Donna Ryan, a pilates and strength trainer from Oregon, Ohio. Ryan, who is 73, teaches many classes, primarily focussed on older, maturing adults.

“My whole classroom is filled with people who are 60 plus. They have a whole host of problems, including all the ‘itises’ like arthritis, bursitis, etc. The important thing is to not focus on these complaints, but rather to be aware of them and work with existing capabilities. If we have someone with a hip or knee issue we work with that, instead of making it an excuse.”

This awareness keeps us active and independent, Ryan continues.

“There is no question that functional movement and strength are impor-

12

tant, giving us confidence to be independent and self-assured.”

Activity, beyond Bingo Mary Chris Kay is a swim instructor at Ft. Meigs YMCA. The 63-year-old Perrysburg resident is a big proponent of activity. “I’ve been teaching swimming for about eight years. I didn’t even start trying to swim competitively until I was 30. I used to teach water aerobics as well but felt people weren’t progressing with fitness, so I started a lap swimming class.”

Retired, with nine children and 30 grandchildren, Kay has been quite successful with the local swim program. In the last six years over 25 of her class members have competed in the Senior Olympics, a competitive athletic program for people over 50.

“This year we have six going to the national competition,” she explains with pride. “Many of these people had very little swim experience when they started.”

A big advocate of conditioning, Kay also finds ways to maintain interest. “Having a goal is really important. It can be something as simple as achieving a certain distance total over a year. We have 100-mile swim clubs, for instance.” Beyond the goals, there is also the benefit of being involved with others.“The way to reach a

goal is to be around other people.

We have swimmers ages 14 to 70 in our classes, many of them swimming side by side. They offer each other encouragement to achieve the goals.

Competing in something like the Senior Olympics is a great way to stay interested.”

Association by Choice

Being an “active adult” is becoming less and less cliché as more people enter their retirement years. Terry McCauley, a 71-year-old accountant from Toledo is a prime example. In the summer of 2016 he was recognized as a Distinguished Toastmaster

by Toastmasters International, the result of over 50 evaluated public speeches and extensive leadership projects.

“I didn’t even join Toastmasters until I was 60,” says McCauley. “It was highly supported at Consumers Energy, the company I retired from.

Even though being a Distinguished Toastmaster is the ultimate accolade of the organization, that wasn’t my focus. I just wanted to be better at leadership and public presentation.”

McCauley continued to attend Toastmasters after retirement. “I loved the fact that I was being challenged to take on new roles, especially in leadership. I admit that many of the things they wanted me to do

CONTINUED FORM P.11

were way outside of my comfort zone.

However, I found out not only that I had the ability to grow and learn but also that I really wanted to.”

Although the Distinguished Toastmaster is an important credential for those still in active professional life, it is the organization itself that energizes McCauley, who now serves as one of Toastmaster International’s division directors. “The more I am around people and the more active I am the better I feel. I know some people my age sit around and feel down about life. It is really hard to have a bad attitude when you are around positive people.”

Attitude Adjustment

Awareness, activity, and association all lead to a single unifying factor surrounding adults who are enjoying their post work years: a positive attitude. “It is so common for people to think ‘I can’t do that,’ ” claims Kay, referring to her swim students.

“They come into a class and think that maybe they will just get a bit healthier. However, with the right attitude, good coaching, and being around other people they find themselves achieving amazing results, often beyond their expectations. None of our national competitors had any competition experience prior to coming to our classes.”

McCauley agrees. “Being active in my post-retirement years has meant everything. I have found things through being around other people, both my age and younger, that I am passionate about and want to be a part of. By being active I move my body, my mind, and my spirit in new directions that interest me. As long as I am contributing and helping someone else I feel like I am having a great day.”

Attitude improvement also means maintaining established friendships while creating new ones. Good friends understand the issues you are facing and will be there to laugh with you and comfort you as you age. Says Ryan, “It is important to participate in a group with others when doing physical activities, but also in general.

Most importantly, you gain fellowship and encouragement.”

Kay echoes the sentiments about friends and companions. “Of course, encouragement from an instructor or mentor is helpful, but it hardly compares with the support of the people you swim and work out with. Competition might be the goal, but companionship and fellowship is the result.”

Ryan is quite emphatic when it comes to attitude. “Most people don’t realize that an older adult will make as many gains and as much progress in a new activity as someone younger. I

Terry McCauley loves Toastmasters am never easy on my people in class, despite many being older and having some limitations. I want them to be aware of where they are mentally and physically so that they can become the best they can be regardless of their

age.” She adds for emphasis: “Start moving, doing, and growing today.

You are never, and I mean never, too old to start anything in life.”

Friendship – A Gift That Keeps on Giving It Keeps You Young

By Pat Nowak

In September 1961, seven young ladies showed up for their first day of high school classes, young, brash and hoping to set the world on fire in marketing and retailing, cosmetology and business.

Each of them had her own stories, quirks and dreams, and graduation day found them leaving on different paths. A few got married early, had children immediately and lost touch with the others.

While no longer in day-to-day contact, the women exchanged an occasional Christmas card, bearing current news, or had a casual run-in at a restaurant or the mall.

When that happened, it seemed as if no time had passed, and funny anecdotes and fond memories surfaced.

Thirty years later, a group met to discuss plans for an upcoming class reunion and a fresh connection was made. At the festivities, the seven reunited and agreed that friendship worked best when nurtured. Some were now divorced, most of the children were grown, and there was nothing to stop them from setting aside time to pursue the frivolity they once shared as friends while in school.

October 2016

Yearly Gatherings and Celebrations

Plans were made for the first of what is now 27 trips and yearly celebrations.

There have been marriages, deaths, and grandchildren, and through it all, the closeness of friendship, with knowledge of strengths, weaknesses being there for each other through the years.

I belong to this group which has laughed, cried and survived our share of life.

We took our annual vacation this year to Aruba. As expected, the weather, friendshp and food were good. We ate far too much, shopped ‘til we dropped and laughed as we always do. But things have changed through the years; one member of the group succumbed to cancer, and another is a breast cancer survivor, while three have had knee surgeries. As younger friends we often laughed about all of us living in the retirement home together, where we would assign tasks according to our strengths.

We do not know what next year will bring, but we hope for and expect the best.

That is what friends do. No matter what happens, friends are front and center, cheering you on, or helping you through a rough patch. I treasure my (now) five friend-sisters and will for years to come.

We often forget to take the time to thank friends for years of undying love and devotion. A relationship must be nurtured to remain strong, so set aside some time to visit, take a moment to phone or plan a special lunch or dinner with your friend.

Make a resolution that you will contact those special people that you once treasured, but no longer see or hear from. Friendships are powerful so make it a priority in your life to give the gift of friendship; a gift that keeps on giving.

Insomnia a Major Health Issue

By Dr. Stephen Roberts PhD When we get older, sleeping well becomes challenging. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) estimates that 50 percent of seniors have difficulty sleeping well. Approximately 30 percent of adults in the United States sleep less than seven hours. According to Dr. Colleen Carney 10 percent of adults have chronic insomnia.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has found that adult Ohioans get less sleep than people in 39 other states. Less than 62.1 percent of us get seven or more hours of sleep per 24 hours.

According to Dr. Gregg D. Jacobs, a Behavioral Sleep Medicine Specialist at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, sleeping pills are not very effective. According to Dr. Jacobs, sleeping pills “only increase total sleep time, and reduce the time it takes to fall asleep, by about 10 minutes.” Sleep medications also come with significant side effects, especially for those over 60. Side effects include interference with memory and learning, dependency, risk of overdose, and possible dementia and depression.

Deirdre Conroy, Ph.D., the Clinical Director, University of Michigan Behavioral Sleep Medicine Clinic, suggests that if someone does not sleep well, his first priority should be to consider whether physiological or psychological factors might be causing a problem. For example, if there is snoring, or a bed partner sees pauses in breathing during sleep, an overnight sleep study should be considered. If a urination problem is discovIf you have sleep issues here are ered, or a breathing probsome simple things you can do increase lem such as sleep apnea, the likelihood of a good night’s sleep: different treatments can be prescribed.

Music Toledo Jazz Orchestra Begins the Season

By Pat Nowak “Music that includes swing, improvising, group interaction, an ‘individual voice,’ and being open to different possibilities,” that’s a broad definition encompassing the eras of jazz, proposed by ethnomusicologist Travis Jackson, an Associate Professor of Music and Humanities at the University of Chicago. Duke Ellington, one of jazz’s most famous figures, simply said: “It’s all music.”

The Toledo Jazz Orchestra, in existence since 1980, has worked with notable legends, including Dizzy Gillespie, Joe Williams, Clark Terry and Zoot Sims, while also performing works of big bands from the past eight decades and specially commissioned arrangements.

“This is the best season the jazz orchestra has put together,” states Ron Kischuk, TJO artistic director. “There is combination of great music, renowned international artists and a band that is performing better than in their history. This year should be outstanding.”

The TJO kicks off the 2016/2017 season with the Black & White Transportation Bistro Series at Registry Bistro, featuring TJO members with other area performers. Debuting at Registry Bistro, in downtown Toledo’s historic Secor Building, the series is sponsored by Black & White Transportation in partnership with the restaurant. Tickets include heavy hors d’oeuvres and the best jazz in town.

Each performance takes place Thursdays, 6 - 8:00pm

Those nostalgic days with memories of great musical performances, outstanding athletes and impactful politicians– Looking Back.

The other day, seeing a young man skateboarding by on a sidewalk, I thought that he was likely unaware of the 1964 Jan and Dean recording Sidewalk Surfing. The very thing Jan and Dean sang about 52 years ago is alive, and new, in 2016.

Music Goes Round An oldies group with an incredible impact on music and TV, the Monkees are still touring today. They should be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and are still selling out concert venues today, 50 years removed from the release of their first hit record in 1966, Last Train To Clarksville. And what are the odds of the group from yesteryear having a top 20 record today?

Well, they’ve done it with Good Times, a fun, summertime tune.

“Hey hey, we’re the Monkees”– all that is old is new again.

In 1963, on that sunny day in Dallas that suddenly turned so dark, when our young, charismatic leader was shot down, America as a coun-

try went into a nationwide depression.

But in 1964 a group of young lads, The Beatles, lifted up America creating fun, energy and excitement, allowing Americans to start to feel good again. And 52 years later Sir Paul McCartney is touring America with his “One on One” Tour, similar to the way he did so many years ago with his English mates– and making Americans feel good again.

High school and college football are in full swing. Everyone in football today runs the spread offense. It is the new thing; but is it really? Red Hickey, Head Coach of the 49ers in the NFL in 1960, was running a version of the spread offense called the shot gun. It was new

Politically, all that is old is also new– in 1960, Cuba was very much in the news and very much a concern for President Kennedy. When American planes were shot down over Cuba, and pilot Dave Powers was captured, Kennedy had to deal with the failed Bay of Pigs invasion, a plan that was not his, but he accepted responsibility. The conflict escalated with the discovery that the Russians had plans to install nuclear missiles in Cuba, within striking distance of the United States.

C EAWARDS N LLE

C

Politics, as usual

The brightest minds held an emergency meeting and decided that the only choice was to strike first and destroy the weapons. Kennedy was in an untenable position. If he struck first he could start a nuclear Armageddon with the resulting loss of millions of lives. The pressure on JFK from our military was incredible, but he resisted the pressure, using a naval blockade to avoid nuclear war. Now 54 years later, Cuba is in the news again, yet this time we are, thankfully, normalizing relations with that country.

Don’t discard your bell-bottoms, you and those vintage pants can both make a comeback.

then, but not now. There is nothing new in football since Knute Rockne worked as a lifeguard at Cedar Point in the summer of 1913 and invented the forward pass. He took it back to Notre Dame with him to change the course of football forever.

Finance The Graying of the Workforce Jobs are Plentiful

By Pamela S. Crabtree, MLS

Generations X, Y and Z consider yourselves warned: the graying of the U.S. workforce continues its ascent and there’s no end in sight. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) the “total labor force is expected to increase by 8.5 percent during 2006-2016.” The BLS breaks the employment stats down this way:

The BLS breaks the employment stats down this way: Ages 16-24 is projected to decline ■ Age 25-54 will rise slightly ■ Ages 55-64 expected to climb 36.5 percent ■ Ages 65-74 will realize an 83.4 percent increase ■ Ages 75 and older will increase by 84.3 percent.

The reasons for the continuing escalation of retirees returning to the workforce or continuing to work beyond retirement age are numerous and varied. The older population continues to experience a recession, increasing medical and prescription costs, minimal yields on savings accounts (for those who have one), plummeting 401k values, and decreasing pension packages. At the same time, many are helping their children financially. Tack on escalating costs for utilities, housing, groceries and a stagnant Social Security payments, and you have all the ingredients for uncertainty which contributes to the need to either delay retirement or return to the workforce.

■

October 2016

The graying escalation in the workforce is mostly visible in the retail and service industries. Ron Borer of Holland, Ohio works part time for EverDry Waterproofing. Often the energetic, affable and married 75-year-old is behind the kiosk at Franklin Park Mall. Borer also represents EverDry at various events in the Toledo area.

“I’m not one to sit around and I’m going to work as long as I can,” said Borer, working part-time since he retired in 2005 from a career centered in sales. His income has helped his family with tuition payments, paid household bills and earned money for vacations.

He said employers should consider hiring mature citizens because “we’re experienced, we do our job and we don’t screw around.”

only so much grass you can cut and so much sleep you can get.” Kwapich, 73, who has been a bus driver for Lourdes University for the past four years, said the extra income helps with the trips he takes with his wife of 52 years, explaining that “recreational activities take money, and we are on a fixed income like most retirees. Loyd Carol Doran of Toledo, Ohio, a retired LPN, decided to work part-time after retirement for several reasons. “I returned to the workforce with mixed emotions. I could use the extra spending money and wanted to get out of the house a little bit,” said the articulate 83-year-old, who celebrated 61 years of marriage in July. Ms. Doran, who works part-time for Bath Fitter, also at the Franklin Park Mall, said employers hire mature citizens because “I think they see us as more reliable.”

Other people such as Arlene Boyles continue to work because it fits well into their lifestyle. Ms. Boyles, who turned 75 this summer, has been practicing dental hygiene for 55 years at the offices of Drs. Ron Jardin, Mark Buganski, & Theresa Duggan on Tal-

madge Rd. According to co-worker Mary Crown, “her positive attitude, healthy lifestyle, work ethic and friendly disposition has made her a favorite to all her patients (they typically become her friends) and a role model and mentor to countless fellow dental hygienists.” The ladies have worked together in the office for 27 years.

Other individuals who refuse to retire are Jerry Sullivan, owner of Black Diamond Nursery, Lawn Service & Landscape. While pushing 90, he looks like a million bucks. Also, Don Decker, once the marketing director for Dana Corporation, now works in real estate for the Loss Real Estate Group.

The United States Department of Labor website explains the motivation to hire older workers: “Employers rate older workers high on characteristics such as judgment, commitment to quality, attendance, and punctuality.”

These attributes make workers over 60 a great choice to hire.

For information on jobs: www.co.lucas.oh.us

Other reasons employers lean toward hiring older workers: ■ Willingness and flexibility to work a variety of shifts ■ Stability ■ Dependability ■ Punctuality ■ Positive attitude ■ Willingness to learn new skills ■ Work well with mature customers/clients ■ Possess an excellent traditional work ethic Dale Kwapich of Toledo, Ohio, a retired service manager in the automotive industry, returned to the workforce part-time “because there’s

Count the ways Table Forty 4 gets it done Versatile downtown eatery delivers tasty food and more

By Tom Konecny Once in 2009, Mud Hens legend Mike Hessman famously played all nine positions in one game. A recent visit to Table Forty 4 – just a foul ball west of Fifth Third Field— harkens to Hessman’s unique feat by dependably executing all nine restaurant duties: good food, wide selection, reasonable prices, ideal location, usefulness, fast service, cleanliness, ambience and fun vibe.

Most valuable food

Table Forty 4 offers an American Fare menu with robust style. A more popular sandwich is the Gulf Grouper: blackened or fried fish filet with lettuce, tomato and red onion on a brioche bun. The combination popped, as did another popular recommendation: Black Angus meatloaf— two thick slices of chargrilled, hickory barbecue glazed meatloaf.

The appetizer offerings appear comparable to other eateries, but that’s before these appetite-inducing selections are served. Chicken chunks come with a variety of sauce selections from sweet to Jamaican jerk along with chicken quesadilla, fried ravioli and potato cups.

But there’s also buttermilk battered calamari and fireroasted tomato bruschetta for varied dispositions.

“It’s like bar food,” said Bob Perry, general manager.

“But we like to think of it as better than bar food.”

Wide selection & reasonable prices

Table Forty 4 also does the burger equally well.

Featured locally on 13abc, the peanut butter bacon

BON APPE EAT

burger became an overnight sensation with its cheddar cheese, bacon and crunchy peanut butter. Everyone who has tried it, according to our adept server, likes it.

An expansive offering of sandwiches – Reuben, Latin-style pork tacos, chicken apricot, meatball and Italian-style beef and entrees offer further choices: Norwegian salmon with pineapple salsa, Jamaican jerk pork chops and classic spaghetti and meatballs.

Table Forty 4’s spacious center bar offers domestics, imports and cocktails, with specials like $5 burgers on select nights, and happy hours that can run until midnight.

Ambience & fun vibe

The building has an interesting past. Once a pencil factory in 1910, the site was later used as a SWAT team training facility. A fun environment, where Entertainment District meets Warehouse District with sidewalk (covered) eating and the sounds of live music blend with a bustling Monroe Street.

11:00 am-10:00 pm Sunday-Thursday, 11:00 am-11:00 pm Friday-Saturday, 610 Monroe St., Toledo, 419-725-0044, tablefortyfour.com

Ideal location & usefulness

Positioned near Fifth Third Field and Huntington Center, Table Forty 4 is an easy gathering spot before or after an event. But it’s also a short walk for office types or anyone downtown, with a “high volume lunch,” according to Perry. Parking is plentiful, and delivery lunch is available anywhere downtown if you call and make prior arrangements.

Fast service & cleanliness

Table Forty 4 staff is mindful of your valuable time and they’re on top of their game. Service was fast, which mean fresh food with 44 tables (hence, its name) – it has to be. If you haven’t been to downtown lately, come enjoy the surroundings with well-lit parking and an inviting atmosphere.

The O’Connor family, Guy, Amanda, Keegan and Elise, are thrilled that the purchase of their new home will support the Red Cross, which makes the transaction so much more gratifying.

House With A Cause This month our MHome features the Red Cross Dream Home, a fundraising idea from board member Stephanie Kuhlman. Builder Doug Howard, the Moses Schlachter Group and more than 30 crews and contractors made the Dream Home on Talonswood Road in Sylvania a reality for the NW Ohio Chapter of the American Red Cross. All money raised from the sale of the home benefits the American Red Cross; the proceeds are expected to be about $280,000.

Howard built the twostory traditional-style home that features four bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, double staircase, granite counters, stainless steel appliances and a finished basement.

The American Red Cross prevents and alleviates human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors.

Stephanie Kuhlman of the NAI Harmon Group and Julie Ann Fisher of RE/Max Masters are the listing agents for the home. The selling agent was Daryl Smith from Re/Max Central.
