National Railroad Museum, Green Bay
Opened in 1956, the museum is celebrating its 60th anniversary this summer. When it began, it was an effort to acquire a single steam locomotive for a city park. Now it’s one of the largest rail museums in the nation — right here in our backyard. The museum is hosting a special exhibit this summer to celebrate its 60 years, called “60 Objects for 60 Years.” The exhibit will display 60 objects pulled out of the museum’s archives. “They’re distinct, unique objects that they people normally wouldn’t have a chance to see, or they’re not usually on display in the museum,” explains Jennifer Neumeier, marketing and communications director for the National Railroad Museum. Whether you visit this summer to enjoy the “60 Objects” exhibit, or you are there to enjoy the exhibits like the Dwight D. Eisenhower and Command Cars, the Pullman Porters: From Service to Civil Rights, or The Bauer Drumhead Collection, seniors also enjoy an admission discount. For more information about the National Railroad Museum, visit nationalrrmuseum. org or call 920-437-7623.

frequent downtown often to come and try different restaurants at once,” says Brehanna Skaletski, marketing and events manager, Downtown Green Bay, Inc. and Olde Main Street, Inc. Fridays on the Fox, which runs from June 24 through August 5, is another option in the downtown area. “There’s lots of seating, and it’s a great place to go and meet people throughout the community,” says Skaletski. “It’s a nice outdoor setting and we have a wide variety of music this summer. It’s a great venue if someone is looking to get out of the house on a Friday night.” The events are free of charge, but concessions are available for purchase. The concessions start at 5 p.m. and music begins at 6 p.m. If you’re looking to buy fresh, local produce and other goods, the Saturday Farmers Market is another great way to enjoy Green Bay this summer. The market runs May 28 through October 29, and the market accepts EBT and senior vouchers.

fixed income Establish a liveable budget in four simple steps JENNIFER HOGELAND
A
morning cup of coffee at your favorite café. Lunch out with life-long friends. An afternoon of shopping. Dinner and a show with your spouse. While you’re entitled to enjoy your golden years, living beyond your means could be detrimental to your finances. For seniors living on a fixed income, it’s important to budget carefully to cover your needs and to keep unnecessary expenses to a minimum. “One of the main things I tell my clients as they are approaching retirement is to write down their budget. Take a look at where they are spending their money — analyze it and do it in a truthful manner,” says Nicole Geniesse, vice president, wealth portfolio manager at Johnson Bank in Green Bay. “When it is written down, it is reality. It gives them an idea of where they could cut back if they needed to.”
Understand your working income
“The first step to budgeting is really getting your arms around what your income is after taxes,” says Kristy Maney, senior vice president, relation manager for private client and institutional services at Associated Bank in Green Bay. For seniors, this often includes social security, pension payments, withdrawals from a retirement account, annuities 6 | WEDNESDAY, JUNE 15, 2016
coming in and any money earned from a fullor part-time job.
List fixed expenses
Fixed expenses are the essentials — expenses that can’t be cut out of the budget. These include home or rent payments, insurance premiums, medical expenses, utilities, property taxes and more. Heather Weller, relationship manager in personal trust and lead financial planning specialist for the Green Bay market at Associated Bank, explains groceries also fall into the fixed expense category because the food in your home is a necessity. “I would suggest having someone look at your fixed expenses to see if they have suggestions on how to decrease your out-of-
pocket expenses,” adds Weller. “One of the best places to look for help is the Aging and Disability Resource Center in Green Bay — they are a great resource in the community.” Geniesse also recommends looking for tax savings. She adds, “Seek help to determine if you are not only investing properly but also distributing efficiently so you can put more money in your pocket.”
Include monthly variable, non-essential expenses
“These are the fun items — dining out, entertainment, clothing, gifts, memberships, subscriptions, landscaping — the things that are fun but not essential for everyday living continued on page 7
GREEN BAY PRESSGAZETTE
from page 6
and care,” says Weller. Maney explains if many of the items on your budget are nonessential items, you may need to prioritize. “Make sure you are covering your fixed expenses above everything else. Take the fixed income expenses against your monthly working income to see what you have left to work with. If you do not have enough, you have choices to make,” she adds. While living within a budget doesn’t mean never going out to dinner and a show, it may just need to be put on hold for a month or two until there is money available in the budget. Maney and Weller warn against overusing credit cards. The balance creeps up quickly and is guaranteed to cause trouble for those on a fixed income. To stretch your money,
Geniesse suggests looking for senior discounts where you shop and eat. Call up your cable, internet and phone providers to negotiate a cost savings. Look for opportunities to bundle services.
Plan to save
“As financial planners, we always talk about emergency savings,” says Weller. “By having money set aside you’ll be prepared to handle the unexpected, such as car maintenance or major home repair. Having money is savings is very important for those living on a fixed income — a monthly budget can’t handle a large, unanticipated expense.” Geniesse suggests setting aside money monthly for anticipated larger expenses. This could be for an upcoming trip or holiday gifts for children and grandchildren. ✦

Smart cellphone security tips for seniors BRANDPOINT
S
eniors are one of the five groups most at-risk for identity theft, according to a report from U.S. News & World Report. Because your cellphone or smartphone likely contains personal information about you that may include your name, home address, phone number and financial account information, a lost, stolen or hacked phone can be a treasure trove for criminals. Consumer Cellular, which specializes in no-contract cellphone service and phones primarily for people 50 and older, offers some advice for securing your cellphone: ▶ Always use strong passwords. You may be tempted to use one password for all your accounts because it’s easier to remember one rather than multiple. However, if your login information is compromised, a single password makes it easier for crooks to gain access to all your accounts. Use numbers, symbols and capital letters in place of lowercase letters to strengthen your passwords. If you’re not sure how to create a strong password, Microsoft offers a helpful free online guide. If you’re having trouble remembering passwords, try downloading an app that securely manages all your passwords. ▶ Use your phone’s built-in security features, such as a lock screen, password protection and data encryption. Many smartphones give you a variety of ways to secure your phone, such as using your fingerprint, entering a PIN or swiping a pattern on the lock screen. A lock and/or encryption ensures that if your phone is lost or stolen, whoever has it won’t be able to easily access data stored on the phone. ▶ Back-up your phone’s data. Especially if you use it to capture photos and videos. If your phone gets damaged, lost or stolen, you can easily restore the data onto another eligible 8 | WEDNESDAY, MARCH 16, 2016
device. In addition, backing-up data can help your phone run more efficiently. Storing data on the device takes up a lot of memory and can slow it down. ▶ Be cautious about what apps you download to your phone. Carefully review the terms and conditions and privacy disclosures of any app you’re considering - before you download it. Some apps may collect data about you and share it with the app developer or others. ▶ Don’t forget to add your cellphone number to the National Do Not Call Registry (donotcall.gov) so that you don’t receive unwanted
solicitation calls. Consider blocking your phone number to further protect your privacy; some businesses you call may collect, store and share your phone number and information unless you block it. ▶ Accidents happen, and smartphones can be costly to repair or replace. An inexpensive way to protect your phone against drops or spills is using a case. It’s also a great way to personalize the appearance of your device. Another option is to purchase a protection plan or warranty for your phone through the manufacturer or your wireless provider. ✦ GREEN BAY PRESS-GAZETTE

skin care Skin cancer: what you need to know before you step outside

“People with fair skin and light colored eyes are at higher risk for acquiring skin cancer, but people with all skin tones can develop skin cancer,” she furthers. The term skin cancer, explains Dr. Powell, refers to abnormal growth of skin cells. There are three types of skin cancer: basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer, she states. It looks like
a flesh-colored, pearl-like bump or pinkish patch of skin. Squamous cell carcinoma is the second most common form of skin cancer, and it looks like a red, firm bump, scaly patch, or sore that never heals. Melanoma is the most lethal form of skin cancer and forms in an existing mole or appears as a new dark spot on the skin. The precancerous skin lesion, known as actinic keratosis, appears as a dry, scaly spot and can turn into squamous continued on page 11

ummer has finally arrived, and with it comes the need to protect our skin from the sun’s damaging rays. Any exposure to UVA and UVB radiation from the sun or from tanning beds can cause skin cancer, says Dr. Kristen Powell, family medicine physician at Prevea Luxemburg Health Center. And if seniors had a job that involved a lot of outside work, such as farming, that puts them at risk for developing skin cancer over the course of their lifetime.

The vast majority of skin cancers can be handled by simple excision, says Dr. Zasuly, and that’s usually an office procedure. “The area is aestheticized with local anesthetic, the skin cancer is excised, and the area is sutured closed,” he explains. “The vast majority of skin cancers can be handled that way and the vast majority of skin cancers are cured that way. The cure rate for skin cancer is extremely high, probably 99 percent. Of course, that’s differentiated from melanoma, which, although it falls under the umbrella of skin cancer, it’s a very different situation.” Melanoma is often treated by plastic surgeons because it can entail more than just excision. The excision for melanoma has to be much more radical than for a simple skin cancer, and for invasive melanoma, lymph nodes may need to be checked. For a simple skin cancer, however, Dr. Zasuly says it’s not a difficult post-operative course and most people tolerate it very well. The patient is seen again in six months to recheck the skin. Once you’ve had a skin cancer, you’re at higher risk than the average population. Though most sun damage has occurred

during the first 30 to 50 years of life, states Dr. Zasuly, you can prevent further damage with proper prevention efforts. Dr. Powell suggests wearing sunscreen with an SPF 30 or higher on a daily basis. “UV exposure that damages skin occurs year-round,” adds Dr. Powell. “We can also reduce risk by wearing sun-protective clothing – many clothing manufacturers sell affordable clothing with a sun protection factor of 50, broad-brimmed hats, and sunglasses.” It’s also important for seniors to remember that some of their medications may make them susceptible to sun burns, says Dr. Zasuly, so its important to double-check your medication information. And if you are diagnosed with skin cancer, he says the treatment is not something to be afraid of. “Most can be treated in the office very briefly,” he says. “It’s almost always covered by insurance, because it’s a medical condition, and when skin cancer is treated in the office, the cost is generally much less than going to surgery.” ✦

cell carcinoma if not treated. “Skin cancer screenings are important so that problem areas can be identified and investigated further,” says Dr. Powell. “A health care provider needs to perform the skin cancer screen because they have the training and expertise to make appropriate recommendations for care. A skin cancer screen can be performed by a primary care provider or a dermatologist. In addition, many counties in our area sponsor skin cancer screenings at local clinics on a weekend day and these screenings are staffed by health care professionals who are knowledgeable about skin exams.” If you are diagnosed with skin cancer, there is a good chance you’ll be referred to a plastic surgeon for treatment, explains Dr. James Zasuly, plastic surgeon at Aurora BayCare Medical Center. “Many of our patients are referred directly by their primary care doctor,” he states. “If the doctor sees something that he or she is pretty sure is skin cancer or needs a biopsy, the patient will be referred directly to the plastic surgeon.”

It’s important to address mobility concerns early. Our experts find that early intervention helps seniors remain independent longer with more safety and a better quality of life. People tend to deny a need for help out of concern that loved ones will worry about them remaining in their homes. But in reality, waiting too long to make changes often leads to a fall that causes long-term injury or reduces your ability to care for yourself in your own home. Talk to an expert at Bellin Health Home Care Equipment to learn more about your options. We can help you find the right first step – or next step – to stay active, mobile, and social. Explore your options, and then explore new places as you enjoy the summer weather in Wisconsin!
