The History Of America’s Independence Day Few summertime holidays elicit as much excitement as the Fourth of July, also known as Independence Day in the United States. Each year, family, friends & revelers anticipate the arrival of the holiday so they can host barbecues, enjoy the sun, listen to their favorite summertime tunes, & commemorate the freedoms afforded by the monumental events that led to the holiday’s establishment. Independence Day became a federal holiday in 1941, but July 4th has stood as the birth of American independence for much longer. July 4th marks a pivotal moment in the American Revolution. According to PBS, the colonies were forced to pay taxes to England’s King George III despite having no representation in the British Parliament. “Taxation without representation” became a battle cry & was one of several grievances colonists had with Great Britain. Conflict between the colonies had been going on for at least a year before the colonies convened a Continental Congress in Philadelphia in June of 1776, says Military.com. On July 2, 1776, the Continental Congress voted in favor of independence from England. Two days later, on July 4, 1776, delegates from the 13 colonies adopted the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration of Independence is a historic document drafted by Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson was considered the strongest & most eloquent writer of the declaration writing committee charged with putting the colonies’ sentiments into words. Richard Henry Lee of Virginia was one of the first people to present a resolution for American independence, & his commentary was the impetus for the formal Declaration of Independence. A total of 86 changes were made to Jefferson’s original draft until the final version was adopted. The signing of the document helped to solidify independence, & eventually lead to the formation of the United States of America. A total of 56 delegates signed the document. Although John Hancock’s signature is the largest, it did not hold more weight than the other signatures. Rather, rumor has it, Hancock signed it so large so that the “fat, old King could read it without his spectacles.” However, the National Archives says it was also customary that, since Hancock was the president of the Continental Congress, he be the first person to sign the document centered below the text. The Pennsylvania Evening Post was the first newspaper to print the Declaration of Independence on July 6, 1776. The first public readings of the Declaration were held in Philadelphia’s Independence Square on July 8, 1776.

Would You Like To Make A Difference? Letter From: Kelly Hillan, Exec. Director of The Keen Age Center
Dear Friends, Welcome Back! It is so good to actually see people in person at the Boone County Council on Aging (BCCA) at the Keen Age Center (KAC). It is such a pleasure to see your smiles & to see all of your faces. I recently encountered some people that I had met during the pandemic, therefore, I only saw them with their masks on. When I saw them “mask-less,” I was astonished at the fact that I barely recognized them - it was such a difference! Speaking of making a difference, are you interested in finding out how you can make a difference? Would you like to become more involved & support the Keen Age Center? Perhaps you would like to join the Friends of the Keen Age Center. We are on a mission to meet the needs of older adults in our region and to enrich their quality of life and are looking for a group of people that are willing to assist us in meeting this goal. Additionally, we will begin planning sessions for the future of BCCA & KAC. Possibly you would like to give input into the programming that we provide. Perhaps you would volunteer or teach a class. Perhaps you would be willing to help us with fundraising or with planning & hosting special events. We will be having an informational meeting on July 19th at 3 PM at KAC. I want to express my appreciation to those who recently helped make a difference by joining us at the Moose for our Spring into Summer fundraising drive-through dinner. Special thanks to our Board Members that were able to lend a hand, including Jim Cox, Andy Racz, Maren Sanders & Kathy Taylor. Thank you to Ed Fitch and his crew at the Moose that go above and beyond to make a delicious meal and help us serve you. Welcome Back to the Keen Age Center, we are here for you!

Effective Exercises For Seniors Losing interest in an exercise regimen is a situation many fitness enthusiasts have confronted at one point or another. Overcoming a stale workout routine can be simple for young athletes, whose bodies can typically handle a wide range of physical activities. But what about seniors who have grown tired of their workouts? Even seniors who have lived active lifestyles since they were youngsters are likely to encounter certain physical limitations associated with aging. CDC data indicates that 8% of adults ages 50-59 have three or more physical limitations. That figure rises to 27% among adults age 80 & over. Physical limitations may be a part of aging for many people, but such obstacles need not limit seniors looking to banish boredom from their workout. In fact, many seniors can engage in a variety of exercises that benefit their bodies & are unlikely to grow stale. • Water aerobics: Sometimes referred to as “aqua aerobics,” water aerobics may involve jogging in the water, leg lifts, arm curls, & other activities that can safely be performed in a pool. The YMCA notes that water aerobic exercises are low impact, which can make them ideal for seniors with bone & joint issues like arthritis. To learn more about water exercise programs contact the Belvidere Family YMCA at 815-547-5307. • Resistance band workouts: Can be especially useful for seniors who spend a lot of time at home. They are inexpensive & don’t take up a lot of space. Resistance bands can be used to strengthen muscles in various parts of the body, including the legs, arms & back. They can be pulled or pushed in any direction, which allows for more versatility in a workout than weight machines & dumbbells. • Pilates: Is another low-impact exercise that can be ideal for seniors with bone & joint issues. According to SilverSneakers®, a community fitness program for seniors that promotes living through physical & social engagement, Pilates can help seniors build overall strength, stability & coordination. SilverSneakers® even notes that seniors can experience improvements in strength & stability by committing to as little as 10-15 minutes of daily Pilates exercises. The SilverSneakers® program is offered locally at The Belvidere YMCA. • Strength training: Seniors on the lookout for something more challenging than a daily walk around the neighborhood should not overlook the benefits of strength training. The CDC notes that seniors who participate in strength training can stimulate the growth of muscle & bone, thereby reducing their risk for osteoporosis & frailty. In fact, the CDC notes that people with health concerns like arthritis or heart disease often benefit the most from exercise regimens that include lifting weights a few times each week. Physical limitations are a part of aging. But seniors need not let such limitations relegate them to repetitive, boring workouts.

Tips To Grill A Juicier Burger Summer weekends wouldn’t be the same without backyard barbecues. And no backyard barbecue is complete without hamburgers. The exact origins of the hamburger are unknown, but historians believe this beloved staple of American barbecues can be traced to mid-nineteenth century Germany. According to History.com, political revolutions in Germany in the 1840s spurred many Germans to emigrate to the U.S. Germans brought many of their cultural traditions with them, including their cuisine. One such dish was the chopped steak, which can be traced to Hamburg, a city renowned for its high-quality beef. Though few might now see ground beef as a remedy for digestive issues, that was a common belief in the 1860s, when a New York-based doctor named James Salisbury suggested that cooked beef patties could benefit the digestive system as much as chopped, chipped or ground beef. Buns were not yet in the picture at that time, but they were by 1904, when beef patties on buns were available at the St. Louis World’s Fair. In 1921, the first White Castle restaurant opened in Kansas, & hamburgers have been a staple of American cuisine ever since. Though it’s been a century since White Castle opened its first restaurant, people are still perfecting the art of making the perfect hamburger. Exactly what defines the perfect hamburger may be open to debate, but there’s no denying the desirability of juicy burgers. As grillmasters prepare for another season of backyard barbecues, the following are some ways they can make their burgers more juicy.

• Avoid extra-lean meat. Extra-lean meat might be healthier than the alternatives, but 93% lean ground beef is unlikely to produce juicy burgers. When making burgers from scratch, opt for 80% lean. WebMD notes that fat helps to hold burgers together while searing & cooking the meat. The result is a more juicy interior than cooks are likely to get when using lean meats. • Swap beef for lamb. Cookbook author John Holl notes in his book, “The American Craft Beer Cookbook” (Storey), that substituting ground beef with ground lamb makes for a juicier burger. Lamb is moist, so unlike lean beef, it can be grilled as well-done without drying out. Lamb also offers a different taste than beef, adding a little variety to a backyard barbecue. • Saddle your spatula. Flipping the burgers too much or pressing them as they cook can dry them out. • Be conscious of carryover cooking time. Carryover cooking time refers to the length of time temperature in a food continues to rise even after it’s been removed from a cooking area. Beef is among the many foods that continue to cook after being removed from a heat source, so beef burgers can be removed from the grill before they reach the desired cooking temperature. This prevents drying out & ensures that once they’re served, the burgers will be juicy & safe to eat. Grilling a juicy burger is easily accomplished with a few simple and time-tested strategies.

A lifelong commitment to healthy living can improve life expectancy & quality of life while reducing a person’s risk for various conditions & diseases, including cancer & heart disease. Healthy lifestyle choices like eating a nutritious diet & exercising regularly can greatly reduce a person’s risk for various ailments, but such choices don’t eliminate that risk entirely. As a result, even health-conscious men & women may need to rely on medication to stay healthy. That’s especially true for seniors since age is a risk factor for various conditions. A 2014 analysis that appeared in the Archives of Gerontology & Geriatrics examined nearly 1,300 published articles that focused on the use of herbal supplements by elderly patients. Though only 16 of those articles met the researchers’ criteria, the analysis concluded that herbal supplement usage is common among elderly patients, as was a lack of dialogue about such supplements between medical professionals & seniors. A concerted effort to initiate such dialogue on the part of both patients & health care providers can help shed light on herbal medicines so people taking them can learn more about what they’re putting into their bodies. What are herbal medicines? The National Health Service of the United Kingdom, a widely respected & publicly funded health care system, describes herbal medicines as those with active ingredients made from plant parts like leaves, roots or flowers. Because herbal medicines are made from plant parts, many people assume they’re safe to take without consulting a physician. However, the NHS urges people to treat herbal medicines with the same care & respect as they would more conventional medicines. Herbal medicines can affect the body in various ways. A frank discussion with a physician can shed light on the potential side effects of herbal medicines & whether or not they’re safe. Why should seniors be concerned about herbal medicines? The NHS notes that seniors taking other medications may experience problems if they begin taking herbal medicines as well. The National Center for Complementary & Integrative Health, notes that more well-designed studies are necessary to fully evaluate interactions between herbal medicines & prescription drugs. However, the NCCIH notes that some evidence points to some harmful effects of mixing the two. For example, prolonged exposure to concentrated garlic extracts may reduce the efficacy of some drugs. The potential for these types of interactions should be enough to compel seniors to think twice before taking herbal medicines without consulting their physicians. In addition, the NHS has developed a list of various types of people for whom herbal medicines may not be suitable, & that list includes the elderly. Seniors considering herbal medicines should discuss the pros & cons with their physicians.

Warm weather brings many changes. Warm weather can make travel more enjoyable & affords people more time to comfortably enjoy the great outdoors. It’s best to keep safety in mind when soaking up the sun. That’s important for all members of the family, including pets. Cats & dogs are as susceptible to heat-related illnesses as their human companions. Recognize heat stroke - Pets can suffer from heat stroke, according to the American Red Cross. Certain breeds of dogs are highly susceptible, particularly those with short snouts, such as pugs & bulldogs. Excessive exercise in hot weather, lack of appropriate shelter outdoors & leaving a dog in a hot car may precipitate an episode of heat stroke. It’s important to get the pet out of direct heat right away & check for signs of shock, which include seizures, a body temperature of 104 F or higher, stupor, increased heart rate, or excessive panting. Placing water-soaked towels on the pet’s feet, head, neck, & abdomen can bring down its temperature. Be cautious of hot surfaces - Humans wear shoes on their feet for protection, but pets do not have that luxury. Think about how hot your feet can feel when you scurry barefoot across hot sand en route to the shoreline or to cross a deck to get to the pool. When the sun beats down on surfaces, those surface temperatures rise quickly. At peak afternoon sun & an ambient temperature of 95 F in southern Florida, the temperature of cement was measured at 125 F, red brick at 135 F, blacktop at 140 F, & grass at 102 F. Individuals who think a car is safer for their dog or cat may be surprised the informal study measured 152 F on seat surfaces. Provide extra water - It’s likely you will need to fill your pets’ water bowls more frequently in warm weather than during other times of the year. Be sure to provide constant access to fresh water, even for young puppies who may be learning to house train. Avoid cutting fur too short - If a veterinarian suggests a hair cut may be beneficial for keeping a pet cool or comfortable, resist the urge to shave down to the skin. At least one inch of fur will protect the pet from sunburn. Outdoor hazards - Warm weather may bring out a high number of insects & wildlife. Use a flea & tick preventative product & medication to protect against heartworm, which is transmitted through mosquitoes. Snakes, skunks, raccoons, foxes, & other animals may be roaming around, & a scuffle can result in injury. Pets need extra care during the warm weather to avoid damage and sickness from the sun, heat and more.
