BY FRED D’ALOGOLD COUNTRY NEWS SERVICE

Iam a Boomer. AlthoughPaul McCartney beatme to it, I turn sixty-

four next month. As witheveryone my age,throughout the past fourdecades, I suffered lossesranging from the closureof my long term employerto the death of a child anddivorce after twenty-fiveyears. I also remarried,had a daughter andturned to a new career.

With the advent ofinjuries, less mobility andreduced overall fitness, Ialso gained weight. Thecloser my weight crept to300 lbs., the more myhealth declined; sleepapnea, blood pressureand cholesterol. One day Isimply had enough. I

believed I could change. Itwas about feeling goodabout myself and myhealth as much as it wasabout looking good.

With a degree in bio-physiology from UCBerkeley, I felt I knew a lotabout health, fitness andnutrition. I wanted ashort-term guide toaddress the micro-issuesso I went to a local gymlooking for a trainer.Despite the fact I am anextrovert, I felt self-con-scious and very awkward.I sat in my car in the park-ing lot for almost 30 min-

utes before I could workup enough courage towalk in.

My 30-something train-er immediately urged meto try a “boot camp” pro-gram. As I started mypaces, it occurred to methat this was a great wayto get injured. I tried it thetrainer’s way for half anhour until aches in oldinjuries and insults aboutmy unwillingness to com-mit persuaded me thatthe guide I’d chosen hadno clue as far as what any-one fifty or older shouldor should not do in order

to get fit. He simply didn’tunderstand.

On the other hand, ithad not occurred to meprior to then that a safeand effective fitness pro-gram for anyone fifty andolder needed a vastly dif-ferent approach than thatfor someone in theirtwenties. I overlooked theneed to distinguishbetween the motivations,abilities, and drawbacksunique to the 50-pluscrowd as had my gymtrainer.

The following insightscame through six monthsof studying with a nation-al sports organizationoffering a specialized cer-tificate in Personal FitnessTraining for those 50-plus:Whether you are fifty or

Seniors helping in areaclassrooms say volun-teering fills a needed

role in these days of trimschool budgets. Workingwith students also helpsthem stay sharp and pro-vides needed socialization.

“We have the time. Wemay have the talent,”joked Sid Katz, 79. “I findit to be an extremelybeautiful program.”

Katz has volunteered atCoyote Ridge ElementarySchool in West Rosevillefor seven years. Currently,he tutors two to six fifth-grade students in math for45 minutes once a week.

The Sun City Rosevilleresident worked as anelectronic engineer afterdropping out of highschool and entering the Air

Force. Realizing he neededa college degree for his joband to support his youngfamily, he worked his waythrough night school,eventually obtaining hisbachelor’s degree.

“My goal is to get thechildren to believe they cando the problems,” he said.“Some of them don’t wantto know they can do it.”

Around the same timethe Golden Coyotesbegan, Katz co-foundedan independent Sun Citygroup for residents inter-ested in school volunteer-ing. Seniors Helping OurRoseville Schools (SHORS)now has about 30 mem-bers, said group presidentJan Newburn.

With the support ofSHORS, members volun-teer at Coyote Ridge andseveral schools in the

Roseville City School Dis-trict. The group providesmembers with contactinformation for schoolsneeding volunteers. CurrentSHORS members teach guitar and harmonica. Inthe past, a member taughtbocce, Newburn said.

Nancy Schmitz startedvolunteering this schoolyear at Junction Elemen-tary for two days a week foran hour and 20 minuteseach day. She reads to thechildren and facilitatesgroup work.

This year, Valentine’sDay was a highlight. Theteacher called Schmitz tothe front of the room andpresented her with a box ofchocolates and home-made Valentines from thechildren. Schmitz said shestarted to cry.

“I hadn’t had one of

those since my son was alittle boy, so it just broughtback a lot of memories,”she said.

Other seniors not affili-ated with SHORS said theyenjoy volunteering at Coy-ote Ridge.

Josephine Proctor, 72,volunteers one full day perweek, including for herdaughter, who is a teacherat the school, and in hergrandchildren’s classrooms.

Proctor reads to the chil-dren and completes otherregular tasks for the teach-ers, such as making copiesand preparing art materi-als. She also has accompa-nied students on field trips.

She said volunteering isan important social activ-ity for her, now that she’s awidow and retired fromher 42-year career innursing. Volunteering is

gratifying to her.“I don’t think there’s

much in life that gives youmore satisfaction than giv-ing back,” she added.

Some former teachersfind school volunteering anatural fit in retirement.

Andrea Mello, 65, brings41 years of experience as apublic educator to her roleas a volunteer. Mello sup-ports four classrooms in

varied ways, includingleading literary discussionand one-one-one tutoring.She said she appreciatescultivating a love of learn-ing in the students.

“Education was good tome so I’d like to give backto education … especiallythose kids that struggle,”she added. “Our strugglingstudents really need theextra help.”

BY ANDREW WESTROPEGOLD COUNTRY NEWS SERVICE

Anew law set to take effecton Jan. 1, 2015 will create astate-wide registry of quali-

fied home-care aides, andrequire home-care agencies totrain their employees to a certainstandard. Proponents of the lawsay this will prevent seniors whoneed care from being victimizedby unqualified or untrustworthycaregivers, but others worry thebill’s cost will make care unaf-fordable for some seniors, limit-ing their ability to stay active andindependent.

Gov. Jerry Brown approved theHome Care Services ConsumerProtection Act in October, andsome local care providers,including Right at Home ownerTom Bollum of Roseville, aredivided on the question ofwhether the bill has done a favorfor seniors in the long run. Onthe up side, he said, the bill will

enforce requirements of trainingand education where currentlythere are none.

“There were several bills thatwere proposed, and a lot of the

requirements for agency licen-sure are good. It will force theagencies to do the same thingswe’re doing right now inrecruiting, hiring, background

tests, drug tests, TB tests,bonding, work comp, supervis-ing,” he said. “It will force allthe agencies to do the job theyshould be doing and protect-ing our clients.”

Bollum said he already

requires his caregivers to receivefive hours of orientation onHPAA (Health Insurance Porta-bility and Accountability Act)laws, safety and transferring,Alzheimer’s disease, dementiaand other issues of caring athome, which is more than thenew law will ask. But eventhough his employees won’tneed more training, his compa-ny will have to pay licensing feesto the Department of SocialServices, and the size of thosefees is still unknown. Bollumguessed his clients will have toabsorb this new expense.

“The question is, if this costs$10,000 a year for us to belicensed, where does that comefrom?” he asked.

Bollum added his employeesserve close to 75 clients in theRoseville area, and many of themdepend on in-home care to stayactive.

Posture Plays Big Part in Having Good HealthBY TINKA DAVI

GOLD COUNTRY MEDIA CORRESPONDENT

Remember Mom’s adage:“Stand up straight!”

Well, she was right.That’s because posture plays a

big role in our health and well-being, said Chiropractor JennaLand of A Perfect Curve Chiro-practic.

“The biggest thing I see is pos-ture deterioration and that isseen in the head first,” Land said.

That’s when a person’s head isforward from the shoulders.

“The mechano receptors inthe back of the neck tell the headand the body what position to bein,” Land said. “If we don’t payattention to posture, these mus-cles become weak and the spineis not functioning the way itshould.”

As a chiropractor, Land helpspeople prevent falls by workingon posture and increasing theirstrength.

She helps older men andwomen stay healthy and activeso that they can do the thingsthey love to do.

“I think it all comes down toposture,” she said.

Land listed several benefits ofchiropractic.

No. 1 is pain relief.“When people are in pain, it’s

hard for them to sit up straightand maintain posture,” she said.Other benefits are: • Increased range of motion ofthe spine and extremities (arms,legs and head) • Increased balance and coordi-nation;

• Decreased joint degeneration;Increased health and well-being;• Decreased incidences of falling.

“It helps when people are ableto get their legs working properlyand get their heads back on their

shoulders,” Land said.Another benefit, she said, is

that chiropractic keeps seniorsout of nursing homes. She cited a1996 study in the journal “Topicsof Clinical Chiropractic” by Dr.

Ian Coulter that found less thanfive percent of people using chi-ropractic were in nursing homeswhile 48 percent who didn’t usechiropractic care ended up innursing homes.

Land’s mother is benefitingfrom her daughter’s care. Sheused to constantly catch colds,but after starting chiropractic 10years ago, she doesn’t get coldsanymore, Land said.

“Chiropractic care boosts theimmune system so much thatpeople are more able to fight offviruses including the flu, sinusinfections and regular colds,”she said.

Dr. Land offers the program,The BStrong4Life® Systemwhich aids in rebuilding bonedensity and reversing the effectsof osteopenia and osteoporosis.The warm-up and exercises,which can be done in streetclothes, take less than 20 min-utes and are done once a week.

Too many people feelthey can’t do thethings they did when

they were younger. But thatidea doesn’t sit well with Dr.Tim Smith of New Life Chi-ropractic in Rocklin.

People may think theirphysical limitations arenormal because of theirage, but Smith disagrees.

“I tell them, you can dothat.”

Smith sees patients witha variety of complaints.They may have pain, highblood pressure or healthissues such as diabetes,heart problems or cancer.They may want to get offmedications or they’d liketo have more energy.

As a chiropractor, Smithdetermines the needs of allhis patients, including old-

er people, and accessestheir health goals.

“We are able to helppeople by improving thefunction of the nervoussystem,” he said.

He explained that thespine surrounds the nerv-ous system and, if thespine is out of alignment,the body loses communi-cation with the nerves.

“We remove the thingsthat interfere with thefunctions of the nervoussystem,” he said. “We doeverything we can toincrease their mobility and

flexibility and maximizetheir body functions.”

Problems with the neckcan affect parts of theupper body including theheart, the respiratory sys-tem, hormones and highblood pressure. They mayhave difficulty sleeping.

Some older people havechronic problems likearthritis, old injuries orchronic pain. Others wantto lose weight.

“Medication and surgeryare not the only things tohelp them,” he said. “Wewant to find the cause oftheir problems, not justdecrease their symptoms.”

For example, people maytake Tylenol for headaches,but their headaches comeback. As a chiropractor,Smith wants to fix the prob-lems so the symptoms goaway and don’t come back.

However, some peoplemay wait too long and theirtreatment may take longer.Or they can’t be helped.

People need to checkout their symptoms assoon as possible, beforetheir problems can’t becorrected, he said.

Chiropractic care isdefined as specific adjust-ments to remove interfer-ence to the nervous systemand allow the body to healitself, Smith said.

We do a full examinationand take special X-rays. It’svery specific and we makesure it’s completely safe.”

He may start with gentletechniques and then go onto other procedures.

His goal?“We don’t want to just

decrease symptoms; wewant to do what we can torelieve them.”

Age Doesn’t Limit ActivitiesCHIROPRACTIC HEALTH CARE

Chiropractic is a health care profession thatfocuses on disorders of the musculoskeletalsystem and the nervous system and the

effects of these disorders on general health. Chi-ropractic care is used most often to treat neuro-musculoskeletal complaints, including but notlimited to back pain, neck pain and pain in thejoints of the arms or legs and headaches.

According to the American Chiropractic Associ-ation, the most common therapeutic procedureperformed by doctors of chiropractic is known as“spinal manipulation,” also called “chiropracticadjustment.” The purpose of manipulation is torestore joint mobility by manually applying acontrolled force into joints that have becomehypomobile – or restricted in their movement –as a result of a tissue injury.

Tissue injury can be caused by a single trau-matic event, such as improper lifting of a heavyobject, or through repetitive stresses, such as sit-ting in an awkward position with poor spinalposture for an extended period of time. In eithercase, injured tissues undergo physical and chemi-cal changes that can cause inflammation, pain,and diminished function for the sufferer.

Manipulation, or adjustment of the affectedjoint and tissues, restores mobility, thereby allevi-ating pain and muscle tightness, and allowingtissues to heal.

“It helps them remainindependent longer,” hesaid. “It also provides asense of security for thefamily, that someone iswith mom or dad, help-ing them out andenabling them to live intheir home longer ratherthan having to move toassisted living.”

Rocklin resident KendraRoberts, one Bollum’sRight at Home caregivers,said she has no opinion onthe law but acknowledgedthe impact it could haveon clients who could notafford a hike in the price ofher services.

“It allows them to stay intheir home which is verybeneficial for everyoneinvolved – family mem-bers, and those who needthe care,” she said. “Itkeeps them more active,

and they are able to keepdoing their daily tasks androutines they’ve alwaysbeen used to doing whilestaying at home. It givesthem more freedom tocome and go as they wantand choose what activitiesand hobbies they want tocontinue doing.”

Bollum said laws whichattempt to regulate a pro-fession, even for the sakeof safety, can sometimescreate an “undergroundeconomy,” in which a con-sumer who cannot afforda licensed caregiver mustresort to an unlicensedone on Craigslist or else-where. These may becheaper but are often notinsured, supervised orbackground-checked, andtherefore pose a seriousrisk to vulnerable seniors.

“We hire 5 percent ofpeople who apply,” Bol-lum explained. “We gothrough an extensive

interview process withreferences, drug tests,background and refer-ence checks, and then Iask the question, ‘Would Iwant them to take care ofmy parents?’ You’re notgetting that when youhire somebody off thestreet. And if someonegets sick or has car trou-ble, what do you do?”

His other concern isthat the law will create aregistry of licensed care-givers, which he thinks isoverreaching and poten-tially dangerous to hisemployees.

“No other professionalhealth license or certificateadministered by the staterequires the linking of theemployee to the employ-er,” he said. “To haveonline access to wherethey (work) and how theycan be found may not bein the best interest of thesafety of our employees.”

eighty, getting fit involvesa balance of physical andemotional healing, nour-ishment, exercise, andreaching outward to fam-ily and friends as a sup-port system so we main-tain our independence foras long as possible.

Before you start any fit-ness program, see yourdoctor. Ask what restric-tions you might currentlyface, the benefits of exer-cise for your specifichealth issues, and get test-ed for your Resting Meta-bolic Rate. A very inex-pensive test that takes lessthan a half hour resultingin your knowing the max-imum amount of caloriesyou can take in every daywithout gaining weight.

If you take in more calo-ries than you expend, youwill gain weight. 70-per-cent of any fitness pro-

gram involves food: Whatyou eat, how much youeat, when you eat andwhether you are keptfrom weight goals due toallergies such as gluten orlactose intolerance or theside effects of certainmedications.

The remaining 30-per-cent is about exercise,which remains crucialregardless of age or levelof fitness. Slow and steadyis the rule, increasing onlyas your body allows. Age isno excuse: We can gainnew muscle mass upthrough age eighty.Stronger muscles give usbetter balance so as toavoid muscle and bonedamage, not just the abil-

ity to open up the picklejar.

Whether you share yourprogram goals and dailyroutine with a friend,partner, co-worker orneighbor, add one sourceof social contact to keepyou from slipping intoisolation. Your commit-ment to this program willlast if you share it with afriend or partner.

Be fit, be healthy and doit safely knowing youdeserve it.
