YOUNGER IS THE NEW OLDER Active adults beyond age 55 are distancing themselves from all things ‘senior’

BABY BOOMERS

Jeff Robinson, Editor Council Communicator There’s an old Jerry Seinfeld stand-up routine that starts with him saying, “My parents didn’t want to move to Florida, but they turned 60, and that’s the law.” The comedian further expounds on all that comes with retirement life in the Sunshine State for the 60-and-older set – golf clubs, the early bird dinner at 4:30 p.m., and “driving slow and sitting low” in the car, with the left turn signal blinking in perpetuity.

Since Seinfeld debuted the material on stage (and later, in his TV sitcom), a new generation of adults 60 and older has been ushered in – the baby boomers, most of whom want nothing to do with the clichés associated with aging.

“The next cohort of older adults - the baby boomers - will be very different as older adults from the current cohort,” said Ohio Department of Aging Director Bonnie K. Burman. “People are the sum of their life experiences, and each generation experiences different things. As a state our focus is on ensuring that we are prepared to meet the needs of the next generation while we continue to serve those (from the previous generation).”

Thinking young The focus, as stated by Burman, summarizes an issue that begins at the local level and ripples throughout the state and beyond to the national stage. The new generation of adults 60 and older – or, in the case of the Council for Older Adults, 55 and older – still thinks of itself...

YOUNGER IS THE NEW OLDER continued on page 22...

We provide choices for older people so they can live safely in their own homes and stay healthy as they age.

If I retire, who am I? I need to work...

Put in 30 years and retire.

WORK-LIFE BALANCE BABY BOOMER:

No balance. “Live to work.” But was that worth it?

TRADITIONALIST:

Keep them separate. “Ne’er the two shall meet.”

Resource Development

Council COMMUNICATOR

Looking Ahead Mike Miller, Development Administrator Council for Older Adults When I introduce myself to folks in the community they invariably ask me what I do. “I bring hope, help, and fun to those 55 and older in Delaware County!” is much more engaging than “I’m development administrator at the Council for Older Adults,” don’t you think?

With that opening, I am free to go in many directions and I often end up talking about the wonderful programs and staff at the Council and all of the new people I have met during my first seven months in Delaware.

We have a lively bunch here, which I know from first-hand experience. My wife and I came out for an evening line dancing class and the next day I was aching. That’s funny because I thought I was in good shape!

Tuesdays and Wednesdays are particularly busy in the enrichment center with woodcarving classes, foot care clinics, the elastic band, eight ball, and more. And every time I go by the billiards room, a hustler named Jack asks, “Got any money?”

Wait a minute, that’s what I’m looking for: MONEY. And where is it going to come from?

Many of you know that due to the generosity of Delaware County taxpayers, about 80% of our income needs are currently being met through the property tax levy. This revenue, along with the wonderful work of hundreds of volunteers, allows us to offer a majority of our programs and services at little or no cost to our clients. This includes home visits by our social workers and much of the programming in the enrichment center.

As we look forward, we know we will need additional revenue to expand and enhance our programs and services because the growth in population of those 55 years of age and older in Delaware is exploding.

Current projections forecast 71% growth in this age category in our county between 2010 and 2020. Aren’t these numbers simply staggering?

To help fund these soon-to-be-needed programs and services, we will search for support from foundations and corporations that champion programs for those 55 and older, but we must also look to ourselves to fund those needs.

As a start, this fall we will launch a more robust memorial-giving program at the Council as well as an annual giving program. Through the memorial-giving program you will be able to recognize and remember loved ones and others who are special to you through anniversary and birthday announcements and other unique remembrances. Gifts to this program will support the services offered by the Council and provide a unique way for you to recognize those who are important to you.

One new element of the memorial-giving program is our Tree of Lights, which allows you to designate a light on our holiday tree in honor of or in memory of someone you love or care for. Full details about our Tree of Lights program will be posted on our website on September 12.

And lastly, our new annual giving program begins this fall, and is modeled after a college or traditional nonprofit fundraising campaign, allowing volunteers and friends to support our work and mission through personal giving. We welcome your support if you wish to help us in this way.

Giving materials for this program will also be available in mid-September.

Could You Afford to Live to 100?

Edward Jones Here’s an interesting statistic: Over the past three decades, the centenarian population in the United States has grown about 66%, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Of course, this doesn’t necessarily mean that you have a good chance of living to 100 — but the possibility may not be as remote as it once was. In any case, if you do plan to retire in your mid60s, and you are in good health, you may well

have two, or even three, decades ahead of you.

To enjoy this time to the fullest — and to help prevent the possibility of outliving your financial resources — you will need to invest for income and growth throughout your retirement years.

As a retiree, how much income do you need from your investments? There’s no one “right” percentage for everyone. Furthermore, you shouldn’t have to rely solely on your investment portfolio, because you may www.edwardjones.com have other sources — such as Social Security and potentially your employer-sponsored retirement plan — from which to draw inHave You Thought About Taxes As Well? come.

short-, intermediate- and long-term fixed-income investments to provide for a portion of your income in retirement.

While it’s important to invest for income, you can’t ignore the need for growth — because you won’t want to lose purchasing power to inflation. As you know, we’ve experienced quite mild inflation recently. But over time, even a low rate of inflation can seriously erode your purchasing power. To illustrate: If your current monthly costs are $3,000, they will be about $4,000 in 10 years with only a 3% annual inflation rate. And in 25 years at that same rate, your monthly costs will have more than doubled, to about $6,200. To help protect yourself against inflation risk, you should consider having at least some investments that offer growth potential, rather than only owning fixed-income vehicles. And some investment vehicles, such as dividend-paying stocks, can offer both growth potential and current income. In fact, some stocks have paid, and even increased, their dividends for many years in a row, giving you not just income, but rising income. (Keep in mind, though, that companies are not obligated to pay dividends, and can reduce or discontinue them at any time.)

To determine the right mix of growth and income vehicles for your individual needs, consult with a financial advisor who is familiar with your retirement plans, your risk tolerance and your family situation. And it may well be a good idea to plan for a very long retirement. You may not live to be 100 — but it would be a good feeling to know that you could afford to do so.

Do You Really Need an Estate Plan?

Elizabeth A. Miceli, Esq. Manos, Martin & Pergram Co., LPA I recently spent a precious Saturday afternoon at a family reunion catching up with relatives who I have not seen since the Reagan administration. One relative was curious about my estate planning practice. When I inquired about his own estate plan, he said, “Why do I need an estate plan given that the federal estate tax is highly unlikely to apply to me?”

While he is correct that the federal estate tax applies only if one’s combined gross assets and prior taxable gifts exceed $5,340,000 (in 2014), the rest of his statement is severely flawed for a variety of reasons.

The purpose of this article is to give you food for thought as to why YOU need a comprehensive estate plan, regardless of your net worth. Among other things, a properly crafted estate plan will help you avoid probate; direct the distribution of your assets; and express various financial, health care, and end of life wishes through advance directives.

Avoid probate. Probate is the legal process by which assets are distributed upon death. When one dies, at least some assets (money, property, life insurance proceeds, retirement accounts, or other items of value) and debts are left behind. During probate, the court takes inventory of all probate assets, pays any debts, and then distributes anything left over to a person’s beneficiaries or heirs. Probate assets are those that must be distributed through the probate process before passing to a beneficiary or heir. Non-probate assets, on the other hand, become the property of the beneficiary immediately upon the death of the person who owned the asset. It follows that it is desirable to structure your estate plan so that most, if not all, assets are non-probate. How to title assets in order to avoid probate is a subject for another day. You must first understand why probate is undesirable.

First, probate can be a slow process. Ideally, the estate is wrapped up in six months, but this is not always the case. It could take months or years for you to get your hands on Grandma’s ‘57 Chevy. Second, going through the probate process involves court and attorneys’ fees. These could be

costly depending on the size and complexity of the estate. Finally, everything that takes place during probate, including all documentation, is generally of public record. Everyone will know that you left more money to the mailman than to your son. Most people prefer privacy.

Specific instructions. Let’s face it, most of us will never need to worry about federal estate tax; yet, many tax issues have less to do with money and more about control. An estate plan allows you to specify who will receive your assets and when they will get them. Think about specific family members, charities, or causes that you might want to include. You should also consider when they will receive your assets. For instance, you might want your children to receive their inheritance in various amounts depending on age. If you think your 30-year-old son might not be mature enough to handle $500,000 until he is 40, you can include restrictions on timing of the distribution. You can consult an attorney about a living trust, a common document in an estate plan. A living trust allows you to name a trustee who will oversee the distribution of assets per your wishes.

Advance directives. Solidifying your end-of-life wishes now will help your loved ones avoid conflict in the future. Do not make your family guess what you would have wanted. A solid estate plan will help minimize these situations by including advance directives. Advance directives include, but are not limited to, a durable power of attorney, health care power of attorney, living will, and HIPAA waiver. A durable power of attorney allows you to designate a person to manage your financial affairs if you are unable to do so. Likewise, a health care power of attorney indicates who will make medical decisions on your behalf when you cannot.

A living will lets you give written directions about your care when you are terminally ill or in a permanently unconscious state and unable to speak for yourself. Last, a HIPAA waiver designates who has access to your medical records.

As you can see, the answer to my title question is “YES!” Estate planning has many purposes other than avoiding federal estate tax, and everyone would benefit from further examining their own circumstances.

Mark Your Calendar!

Paula Dean, Insurance Specialist Council for Older Adults NEW TO MEDICARE CLASSES The Council for Older Adults offers a free “New to Medicare” class for individuals who will be eligible for Medicare and want to learn about their options.

These classes are offered on the second Wednesday of each month from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and on the fourth Wednesday of each month from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Council for Older Adults on 800 Cheshire Road in Delaware.

MEDICARE FALL ANNUAL OPEN ENROLLMENT The time for Medicare beneficiaries to compare and change Part D/Prescription Drug Plans or Part C/Medicare Advantage Plans, or enroll in a plan, is the fall annual open enrollment period from October 15 to December 7, with new coverage starting January 1, 2015.

If you are already enrolled in a Part D or Part C plan, it is a good idea to examine your coverage to determine if it will continue to meet your needs next year. Plans can change each year, such as the monthly premium, annual deductible, list of drugs your plan covers (formulary) and quantity limits, the list of covered pharmacies (network & preferred network), medical copays, and out-of-pocket maximums. More importantly, your health can change, which may necessitate a change in plans.

You can change how you receive your Medicare health coverage. The last change that is made is the one that will take effect.

Here’s what you can do: • Change from Original Medicare to a Medicare Advantage Plan • Change from a Medicare Advantage Plan back to Original Medicare • Change from your current Medicare Advantage Plan to a different Medicare Advantage Plan • Add/change a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan The Council for Older Adults can help you determine the best plan for you. As the Council’s insurance specialist, I am available weekdays for a free consultation. For an appointment, please call 740-363-6677. You can also call the OSHIIP (Ohio Senior Health Insurance Information Program) hotline at 1-800-686-1578 to run plan comparisons and ask questions.

MEDICARE CHECK-UP DAYS The Council for Older Adults partners with the Ohio Department of Insurance (ODI) and the Ohio Senior Health Insurance Information Program (OSHIIP) each year to provide this free service to Delaware County residents. Held at the Council, you can meet with an OSHIIP representative during the Medicare annual open enrollment period to compare/change/ enroll in the Medicare Part D/Prescription Drug or Medicare Part C/Medicare Advantage Plan that best meets your health insurance needs.

These 45-minute sessions are scheduled for Monday, October 27 and Monday, November 24 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Please bring a list of your prescription medications, including the complete drug name as shown on your prescription bottle, dosage strength, and frequency that you take this medication, as well as your Medicare card.

AN APPOINTMENT IS REQUIRED. Please call the registration hotline at 740-203-2382. You may also call the Council’s main number during normal business hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 740-363-6677 or toll free at 1-800-994-2255 and ask for the registration hotline.

Council for Older Adults

CARE SERVICES Greater Support for the Supporters Do you accompany a family member to his or her doctor’s appointments? Do you assist a friend or neighbor with chores such as grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning, or paying bills? Do you help a loved one with bathing or dressing? If you said yes to any of these questions, you are one of 65.7 million people who act as caregiver. The Council for Older Adults recognizes that caregivers play a vital role in the well-being of older adults and we are here to support you.

As part of that support, the Council is expanding its caregiver program, aimed at providing services that can assist you with caring for your loved one. The Council for Older Adults offers an array of in-home services for caregivers, including providing respite care, assistance with minor household chores and repairs, help with personal care, and relief from meal preparation through the delivery of hot and nutritious meals.

In addition to in-home care services, the Council offers programs that focus on reducing caregiver burden and stress through providing more opportunities for education and emotional support for Delaware County’s caregivers. In addition to our free caregiver workshops (offered the second Tuesday of each month), the Council will soon introduce programs proven to reduce caregiver stress and burden, a volunteer respite model, a web page to serve as a one-stop shop for caregiver resources, a blog to provide 24/7 support from peers and professionals, various events to honor Delaware County’s caregivers, and a caregiver coalition to provide a voice for Delaware County’s caregivers.

Sara Stemen, who serves as the caregiver program coordinator, is responsible for the development of the Council’s program expansion. Stemen earned her Bachelor of Science degree in family studies in 2011, and her Master of Gerontological Studies in 2013 from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. Prior to joining the Council, Stemen worked at the Ohio Department of Aging as a program administrator and project manager for several initiatives (STEADY U Ohio, Community Based Care Transitions, State Plan on Aging, National Core Indicator—Aging and Disability Project) throughout

Ohio aimed at increasing the independence and improving the health and well-being of older adults and their families.

When asked about the goal for the program, Stemen said, “I want caregivers to feel significant, appreciated, and supported. Due to the nature of caregiving, many caregivers put the health and well-being of others above their own, which has the potential to create negative outcomes for both the caregiver and care recipient. My goal for the program is that caregivers feel equipped to achieve their desired lifestyle and that they can provide quality care for their loved ones.”

If you would like assistance with caring for a loved one, have suggestions for our caregiver program, or want to serve on our caregiver coalition, please contact Stemen at 740-203-2399 or sara.stemen@growingolder.org. To learn more about our caregiver program and available services, visit our website at www.growingolder.org.

CAREGIVER WORKSHOPS The Council for Older Adults provides monthly support opportunities for active caregivers who provide assistance to their family members and friends. These workshops allow caregivers to learn, grow, and gather support. Presentations are provided by various members of our community and focus on a variety of topics. Workshops are held on the second Tuesday of every month from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. Upcoming workshops include: • September 9: “Elder Law Planning: Healthcare & Asset Protection,”

by Louis Borowicz, Baxter and Borowicz Co. • October 14: “Caring for a Difficult Family Member,” by Paula Taliaferro, Central Ohio Area Agency on Aging • November 10*: “Stress Management: How to Survive the Holidays,”

by Barbara Brahm, OSU Extension Office *Please note the November workshop is on a Monday.

Workshops are free and are held at the Council for Older Adults.

Please feel free to bring a friend! To register, RSVP to Jen Spicer at 740203-2377.

Personal Reflection

The Day the Movies Came to Town Mary Lee Stocks, Member Council for Older Adults Enrichment Center Even a little kid could tell that something important was happening in our sleepy little town. Suddenly vibrant plantings sprung up on every vacant spot, and bright hanging baskets of blooms decorated the lampposts. All the storefront windows shone sparkling clean, and every business sported a fresh coat of paint. Even the brick streets were swept to a fine patina, and the globes of the street lamps sparkled. Soon, a new sign appeared at the edge of town where all the service clubs posted their insignia. It said, “Marietta, Ohio: Childhood Home of Colonel Dean E. Hess.”

“Who is Colonel Dean Hess?” I asked my grandfather.

“He was a fighter pilot in World War II and Korea,” Grandpa replied. “He was a real hero. He wrote a book about his experiences in the wars, and they’ve made a movie out of it. The premiere of the movie is going to be here.”

“Here?” I asked. “In Marietta?” My hometown certainly seemed like the least likely place on earth to host a movie premiere!

“Yep,” Grandpa affirmed. “That’s why everybody is getting everything all spruced up and ready. The movie stars will be here just like you see on television. Marietta wants to be sure it makes a good impression.”

So that was what all the excitement was about. I had to admit, a movie premiere was pretty heady stuff. Every day, somebody did something new to beautify our town. Both theaters got new lights on their marquees and plush new seats in their auditoriums. School wasn’t left behind, either. We studied special history and social studies lessons so we would better understand Colonel Hess’ experiences.

The title of his book was “Battle Hymn.” Colonel Hess had been a minister who enlisted as a pilot when World War II broke out. He felt he couldn’t look out from his pulpit at his congregation, many of whom would be going to war, and not serve himself. So despite many crises of conscience regarding his role as a man of God and his role as a bomber pilot, he used the knowledge of flying that he had gained in a college course to enlist as a pilot in the Air Force. In all, he flew more than 300 missions over Germany and in Korea, never ceasing to offer religious services in tents and beside mud-soaked air strips. He also offering counsel and solace to the men in his command.

In Korea, he took on the incredible task of creating a South Korean Air Force composed of men who didn’t speak English, let alone know how to fly. Often, he was actually forced to teach them while in combat situations. He was decorated many times over for his bravery and his accomplishments, including receipt of the Korean Order of Military Merit.

Two incidents defined why Colonel Hess was remembered. Once in Germany, having been given faulty intelligence, he bombed an orphanage in error. His heart was sickened by this mistake. Then in Korea, he mistakenly strafed a group of fleeing refugees that a spotter had mistakenly

Council COMMUNICATOR identified as enemy troops. Colonel Hess never forgot these tragedies.

In 1951, anguished by the sight of thousands of defenseless Korean orphans on the streets of Seoul who were about to be engulfed by the Chinese Communist armies streaming in from the north, he shepherded them to the Seoul airport and sent out a distress call to his commander.

At the last minute, a Fifth Air Force airlift picked up the orphans and flew them to safety on Cheju Island. This action became known as “Operation Kiddy Car.” Later, Colonel Hess established a permanent orphanage on the island.

That certainly seemed like a great story for a movie! My friends and I were enthralled. We were duly impressed that my mother had known Colonel Hess in high school and college. We were on pins and needles waiting for premiere week.

Finally the long-awaited week arrived. Colonel Hess came to school to speak to us about God, patriotism, and duty. He was a small man, but it was clear he had a big heart. There were all kinds of events in honor of the premiere. One in particular was a “Coke and Autograph” party, which was held at the largest venue in town. Even the schools let out so that we could all attend! Our Brownie troop leader took our troop to the party, but it was more than a little disappointing. We waited in line, but we never got inside to meet the movie stars. A crew of volunteers came out just as the party was to end bearing cups of Coca Cola and autographed pictures of the movie stars. It wasn’t the same, but it was good enough for me. I got my autographed picture of Rock Hudson, who I thought was handsome, and pictures of the other two stars as well. I was tired, but happy.

Then came the parade. There is no city in the world that loves a parade more than Marietta, Ohio! The crowds were three and four thick along Putnam Street when the high school band marched over the hill and into downtown. There were color guards and floats made by the veterans’ organizations. Colonel Hess, his wife, and family went by in late model convertibles, waving to the crowds. Colonel Hess’ medals on his stiffly starched uniform were even more impressive than they had been when he spoke at school! Then there they were: the Hollywood stars were right there before our eyes! Convertibles carried the stars of the movie – Rock Hudson as Colonel Hess, Dan Duryea as his Air Force sidekick, and Anna Kashfi as the head of the Korean orphanage – right down the main street of our little town. It was incredibly exciting! We could hardly keep from jumping up and down. We waved until our arms ached and cheered until we were hoarse.

Then we headed to the theaters to meet our parents for the actual movie premiere. There were more speeches and introductions, and then the movie started. I was a little confused; the movie wasn’t exactly like the book called “Battle Hymn” that mother had given me to read. It was entertaining, and held my interest, however. As my mother and daddy and I walked home, arm in arm in the moonlight, we were all glad to have been a part of the “day the movies came to town.” Now, whenever I see a movie premiere on television, I think back to those heady days when we were a part of the premiere of “Battle Hymn.”

Council COMMUNICATOR

A Nostalgic Trip to Remember Chris Thompson, Reference Librarian Delaware County District Library A kiss is just a kiss, a sigh is but a sigh, and Hollywood ... well, Hollywood was something else entirely in its Golden Age. Exactly how different from today is apparent after reading or listening to You Must Remember This: Life and Style in Hollywood’s Golden Age by actor Robert Wagner and collaborator Scott Eyman.

The title is a nostalgic memoir, though the authors prefer the term “mosaic of memory.” That would make the Hollywood characters that created the character of Hollywood the tesserae with interstices formed of various places around the Greater Los Angeles area from the 1930s through to the 1960s.

The author is most concerned with sharing anecdotes about how the many people he knew lived. Wagner reminisces about how sharply they dressed, how joyously they partied, how they organized their homes, and the civility by which business was conducted. His people include not only other actors and actresses, but also production workers, studio executives, reporters, restaurateurs, and others outside of the industry. The absence of gossipy dirt is refreshing.

An attention to setting permeates his stories. Los Angeles grew and changed over Wagner’s lifetime of residency, and seemingly every spot around town has a memory attached. Ample context is provided for understanding. What some readers will consider immersive ambiance, however, may drown others in details.

Nonetheless, Wagner’s conversational tone throughout the explanation is quite similar to how someone you have not seen in a long time would provide an update. It is charming in print. The effect is enhanced when listening to the audiobook, which oddly does not always happen when actors speak their own books.

Wagner and Eyman previously collaborated on the autobiography Pieces of My Heart: A Life.

Events that occurred later in Wagner’s life, such as starring in “Hart to Hart,” or are extremely personal, such as his grieving over the mysterious death of wife and actress Natalie Wood, are covered in that 2009 title. This 2014 memoir is a lighter, more varied read because the spotlight shines on the experience of a time and place rather than an individual. Fortunately, each title is easily understandable without reference to the other.

You Must Remember This is especially recommended for those who want to take a trip down a memory lane that winds through Old Hollywood. Regardless of age, anyone with interest in the movies, 20th century American celebrity, or Southern California history is likely to enjoy the tour.

Council COMMUNICATOR

Feature Article

YOUNGER IS THE NEW OLDER continued... ...as young, and those who serve them need to start “thinking young,” as well.

“We are looking at the issue of, ‘How do you reach folks that are staring at retirement but aren’t the stereotypical senior citizen?’” said Bob Horrocks, executive director of the Council for Older Adults. “The baby boomers grew up with an image of what it was to be a senior citizen, and don’t think of themselves that way.”

The group that gave baby boomers the image to which Horrocks refers is known as the traditionalists, born between 1922 and 1945. For the most part, its members are just that – traditional; they believe in respect, discipline, and a hard day’s work, and aren’t big fans of change. Those who lived during the Depression are likely to also be more frugal, Burman said, with more of a sense of perseverance.

“Back in the day when people didn’t live as long, reaching an older age was seen as a badge of honor, as if to say ‘I made it, I’m proud to be a senior citizen,’” Horrocks said. “Over the years, ‘senior citizen’ came to be seen as someone who is not active or involved. That may have been inaccurate even back then, but today’s older adult is much more wanting to be engaged in the community and wanting to make a difference.”

Burman said the life of the baby boomer generation is “not linear like it was in general for those who are in our current cohort of elders.

“They had a path – you were a child, you got your education, maybe went to war, got married, had a family, and retired, and retirement was more a time of leisure,” Burman said. “Now, life isn’t quite as linear. The baby boom generation will re-characterize what we mean by retirement.”

Information posted on the Colorado State University School of Business website (http:// www.biz.colostate.edu/mti/tips/pages/interactionamongthegenerations.aspx) shows other

common values of traditionalists versus baby boomers (see tables below).

Growing – and not growing – in numbers Today, the older adult population is growing by leaps and bounds. According to Scripps Gerontology Center at Miami University, Ohio’s 60-

plus population is projected to increase by 29 percent by 2020 and nearly 50 percent by 2040.

Locally, according to the Delaware County website, an American Community Survey shows that there were 39,894 adults 55 or older living in the county in 2012. Of those, more than half

TRADITIONALISTS Privacy: Traditionalists are the private, silent generation. Don’t expect members of this generation to share their inner thoughts.

Hard Work: They believe in paying their dues and become irritated when they perceive others are wasting their time. Members of this generation often feel that their career identifies who they are.

Trust: A traditionalist’s word is his/her bond.

Formality: Whether written or in oral communication, a formal communication style is preferred. This generation values formal dress and organizational structures.

Authority and institutional leadership: Traditionalists have a great deal of respect for authority.

Social Order: Other generations may view this desire for social order and placement as bias, prejudice, or even racism or sexism.

Things: This group loves their stuff and they won’t get rid of it. Some may call them pack rats but others would argue that they remember the depression days and going without. You never know when you might need it.

BABY BOOMERS Competition: Boomers value peer competition and can be seen by others as being egocentric.

Change: Boomers thrive on possibilities and constant change.

Hard Work: Boomers started the “workaholic” trend. The difference between traditionalists and boomers is that boomers value the hard work because they view it as necessary for moving to the next level of success, while traditionalists work hard because they feel that it is the right thing to do.

Success: This generation is committed to climbing the ladder of success.

Body Language: Boomers are the show-me generation, and body language is important.

Teamwork: This group embraces a team-based approach to business – they are eager to get rid of the command-and-control style of their traditionalist predecessors.

Anti-Rules and Regulations: They don’t appreciate rules for the sake of having rules and they will challenge the system.

Inclusion: This generation will accept people on an equal basis as long as they can perform to their standards.

Will Fight For A Cause: While they don’t like problems, if you give them a cause they will fight for it.

Although there are more people 60 and older in the world (and the county) than ever, the number of those flocking to senior centers is not growing as rapidly. According to an article in The News Times in Danbury, Conn., many

Feature Article Broadening the appeal At the local level, Horrocks said he also is aware of the Council’s need to evolve to meet a growing number of needs and interests. He said the January merger of the Council with Senior Citizens Inc. provided the opportunity for

“We are working to better demonstrate what we aspire to be, and are looking at how to clearly explain our mission and vision for the community.” older adults have an aversion to what they perceive to be the stereotypical senior center. The article cites people in their late 50s and early 60s who associate senior centers with a sedentary lifestyle – “bingo lounges” that need to evolve if they want to attract the younger generation of older adults, a generation more “rock and roll” than “big band,” more “Easy Rider” than “Singin’ in the Rain.”

Jon Bloch, chairman of the sociology department at Southern Connecticut State University, states in the article that he doesn’t foresee many baby boomers eagerly signing up for senior center memberships until they start to need some of the services that the centers offer. Even then, Bloch said “they just won’t brag about going to one.”

Senior centers across the country are faced with the challenge of reaching those in the 5575 age range whose idea of fun and daily activity is evolving, without alienating those older adults who already benefit from the existing services and amenities and who are resistant to change.

“We, as a state, need to continue to serve those that need us while we also plan for the future,” Burman said. “The Ohio Department of Aging has, for quite a while, had the Golden Buckeye program. It continues to grow and evolve. As it does, we continue to seek feedback on ‘What is a Golden Buckeye? What does it mean to be an elder in the state of Ohio – someone who continues to grow, thrive and contribute?’”

staff to evaluate the role of the Council within the community and how to best serve its residents.

“Today’s older adults are healthier, and are able to participate and stay active and volunteer,” Horrocks said. “That is more of the image that we want to project (at the Council). When you are part of this organization you are here to make a difference. You are here to learn and grow, to be involved and to help others. And you can do that and have fun at the same time.”

Horrocks said he looks around the Council’s facility on Cheshire Road and sees a lot of people “staying involved and staying active.” The key, he said, is letting more of the community know what goes on there on a daily basis.

“We need to do a better job saying this is what we’re about and what we aspire to,” he said. “There is a great deal of untapped potential here, but a lot of it does start with people’s perception, and that perception is sometimes garnered by first impressions or even the name of the organization. We are working to better

and marketing professionals and others from the community, tasked with brainstorming ideas for how to reach a more diverse, more active group of older adults in Delaware County.

“The more we talk, the more we hear from folks about being open on Saturday, open in the evening, and offering different kinds of programming,” Horrocks said. “It’s a big process, but at the end of that process we want to be able to clearly communicate what we are about and why we want to be that way. We need to do a better job with the younger end of the spectrum without turning our backs on the oldest members of the community.”

Horrocks acknowledged that a large percentage of those served by the Council are age 80 and older, and made it clear that the desire to serve the younger generation is not an either/ or proposition.

“It’s a question of how do we best expand our reach,” Horrocks said. “We’ve got to serve everyone.”

Discussions of how to best do that will continue through the end of the year, Horrocks said, and hopefully lead to a plan for how to best portray the Council in the community.

“An older gentleman once told me ‘Don’t group me by my age. Group me by my interests. I may be in my 80s, but I love cycling with my grandchildren,’” Horrocks said. “On the other hand, someone in their 50s may love book discussion groups. There is a lot to think about.”

Health & Wellness

Technology and Therapy Rozlie Townsend, MA, Clinical Fellow, Speech Pathology Department Delaware Speech and Hearing Center The world as we once knew it has been taken over by technology.

From smart phones and iPads to smart TVs and 3D printers, technology is a driving force in our changing society. In addition to enabling a quick and simple path for communication, technology has become a key tool for education and therapy.

The smart phone in particular has allowed for successful interactions with patients in therapy. At one time, the smart phone was criticized for becoming a barrier to human interaction, but in this case, it actually helps deepen the experience for both the patient and the professional. The smart phone has become a tool that allows people to look up unknown terms at their convenience or download a cognition training tool such as Lumosity, a web-based program that helps improve cognition through mentally stimulating games.

The video function of the phone served as a valuable therapy tool for patients who experience aphasia as a result of a stroke. A stroke occurs when blood flow to part of the brain is interrupted for several seconds, then causes damage to that part of the brain. Aphasia can occur as a result of a stroke and can be characterized by both expressive and receptive language difficulties. The patient with aphasia may struggle to find words and experience difficulty with initiation of verbal communication.

He may have difficulty understanding complex language; however, he is able to follow simple directions and repeat phrases and sentences of 5-7 words. He may also retain the ability to navigate his iPhone for basic everyday necessities (e.g. calling family, finding directions, etc). While the patient is able to respond to routine questions appropriately, he is unable to reciprocate the question or initiate conversation.

During one session in particular, a patient with aphasia used his iPhone to find the word “you” using a list of commonly used words that he kept on his phone in an effort to reciprocate the question he was asked. This action significantly changed the dynamics of the therapy session. The session became dedicated to developing a way in which he could use his iPhone to make progress. Knowing that the patient was able to repeat short phrases and sentences, he was prompted to repeat a question that was stated by the clinician. As the clinician finished verbalizing the question, she began to film the patient as he repeated the question back to her. The patient was soon equipped with videos of himself saved to his smart phone, verbalizing various questions and conversation started that could conveniently be used in everyday social interactions.

In this case, the iPhone enabled a patient to initiate a conversation and ask questions. This is a task that he was unable to do in previous years. As a result of technological advances, the patient now feels equipped to continue forming relationships and evolving his communication capabilities.

I’ve had friends and family ask me for help with their computer problems. The issues described include constant freeze-ups, random popups, phantom tool bars, shutting down, and more. I tell them these are all signs their computer has most likely been infected with a virus of some kind, and their data could be at risk.

In the early days, a virus would delete your files and spread to other computers. It was frustrating, but the effects were easier to detect and contain. Today, in addition to traditional viruses, there are Trojans, worms, ransomware, spyware, adware, and more. The computer industry term for all this is “malware.” In response, I teamed up with my co-worker Aric Jones, the Council’s information systems administrator, to offer these safe browsing tips and solutions: Be careful what links you click on. Never trust a link sent to you by someone you don’t know. By clicking the link you may be taken to a site that may look like your bank or credit card company, but isn’t. Instead of clicking a link in an e-mail, use a search engine to find the real address.

Beware of windows or pages that prompt you to click a link to run software. Malicious websites can create prompts that look like messages from your browser or computer.

Password safety. Avoid sharing your password with friends, even if they promise they won’t tell anyone! Also, when setting your password, make sure it isn’t something people may guess, such as your pet’s name.

Use a mixture of upper- and lower-case letters, numbers, and characters.

Make sure your browser, operating system, and security software are up to date. If your antivirus or anti-spyware software has expired or you do not have any installed, here are two recommended free options: AVIRA and AVAST. Don’t provide personal information to get something free online.

Criminals may use this data to break into personal or work accounts.

Remember! What goes online stays online. There’s a site called The Way Back Machine that keeps a history of the Internet. You can view sites that are no longer active from decades ago. Be careful what you post; it may be around for a very long time.

Log out of your accounts. When you are done posting on Facebook, or checking your bank account, make sure to use the site’s logout function. This prevents someone else from sitting at your computer and accessing your information.

Remember, the best way to stay safe on the Internet is to get educated.

We all get online as a means to socialize, learn, entertain, and stay connected. Just be aware of the risks and be careful what you click on.

Ask Bob

Expansion of Bus Bucks Program with DATA Robert Horrocks, Executive Director Council for Older Adults Welcome to “Ask Bob,” where Bob Horrocks and his staff answer your questions about senior health, caregiving, services, and more.

Q: I heard that there will be changes to the Bus Bucks program with DATA. Will I still be able to use the remaining funds in my account?

A: Transportation is a critical need for those without the means or ability to own or drive a vehicle. Delaware County lacks sufficient affordable options for people in need of door-to-door transportation assistance. As a result, in January of this year, the Council for Older Adults implemented the Bus Bucks program as one response to the significant increase in out-of-pocket expenses for DATA’s Demand Response service. This new option is administered by DATA through a contract with the Council.

Based on our experience with this program, we are now expanding and improving this service in an effort to make transportation accessible to more seniors throughout Delaware County. Effective September 1, the Council will authorize a total of eight one-way trips per month broken out into the

following “types” of trips: • Eight in-county one-way trips -OR• Six in-county one-way trips and two out-of-county one-way trips Basically, instead of dollars, we will be offering you a set number of trips, which should help you better utilize the DATA bus system. Those who still retain a balance from the previous Bus Bucks system will have until October 1 to utilize their remaining funds before transitioning to this expanded service. The $4 co-pay per one-way trip will still apply.

Remember that the Council also has a volunteer transportation program in place to take you to medical appointments, including dialysis, as well as social service agencies and adult day care centers. For more information about any of our transportation programs, call the Council at 740-363-6677.
