The City of Red Deer is recognizing Seniors’ Week June 6 – 12, 2016, to acknowledge the contribu-tions of seniors to our communities, in conjunction with the Seniors’ Advisory Council for Alberta.
Seniors make a difference in the lives of Albertans every day. From supporting family members and friends to assisting charities and volunteering, seniors are deeply involved in our communities and their contributions benefit Albertans of all ages. In our city, we are fortunate that there are so many senior volunteers who remain active and continue to invest in the quality of life of our community. They inspire, empower and engage others in making our community, province, and country a better place to live, work and play. We honour those over the age of 60 who achieve and contribute so much to our community through their private and public spheres of influence.
On behalf of Red Deer City Council, The City of Red Deer and over 100,000 local citizens and 350,000 regional citizens we serve, it is a privilege to set aside a special week to recognize and demonstrate respect for our seniors and elders.
The people of our community are direct beneficiaries of the lifelong contributions of our senior citizens. Recognizing our elders through Seniors’ Week is one way we can convey the community gratitude that is due to them.

BY ADVOCATE STAFF
Seniors are becoming more savvy about criminal at-tempts to defraud them of their savings, said Const. Der-ek Turner, of Red Deer RCMP.
As scammers are always coming up with new schemes, Turner believes it’s wise to be wary.
“These people are trying to take your money,” he said, “so if you have any doubts, don’t be afraid to ask a lot of questions because it’s your money, your phone number and your email account …”
Turner’s blanket advice is to never give unsolicited callers/emailers your credit card or banking information — under any circumstance.
It’s one thing if you are contacting a person you know, or a business you trust, to make a payment, he said. It’s quite another thing if someone calls you, claiming to be from your bank, lottery office, charity, or tax department.
You can’t be sure who they are, Turner added. “If the call is incoming to you, don’t give that information out. A better way to do it is go to your bank and deal with some-one there …”
Here are some popular fraud schemes:• The tax or bank scam: A person claiming to be from
Revenue Canada or your bank aggressively phones or emails to tell you taxes or money is owed. They want you to either give them your credit card information or mail them prepaid giftcards. Don’t do it — also never release your social insurance or bank account information over the phone or email.
• The grandparents scam: A young person in seeming distress will call you “grandma” or “grandpa” over the phone or in an email and hope you will mistake them for one of your grandchildren. The scammer will tell you they are in trouble (in a foreign country, stranded some-where) and in need of money. Don’t react emotionally before checking out the facts.
• The charity scam: Someone will come to your door, phone or email you, claiming they are collecting for
a charity, the police, etc. If they don’t have official ID proving their claim, don’t give anything. Turner believes it’s prudent to check with a charity first (he noted police never collect money this way). Some phone scammers even have the capacity to tamper with call displays. These could indicate a certain charity is calling — even if it’s not. Better safe than sorry.
• The cheque over-payment scam: Somebody sends you a cheque (for a prize, “service”, etc.) and later claims a mistaken over-payment was made. You are asked to send them a cheque for the supposed over paid amount — and later you discover the cheque they sent you is worthless.
• The lottery scam: Someone claims you have won money, but have to pay taxes on it before you can collect it. Don’t do it— legitimate lotteries don’t operate in this way.
• The romance scam: Someone you meet on an online dating site will, after starting a romantic relationship, claim they are in financial trouble/need money to help a relative, etc. Stop all contact instead of handing over a cheque or cash. This is another situation that requires putting skepticism before emotion.
• The pay upfront scam: People claiming they will do work on your house will ask for payment upfront and then disappear. Turner says it’s never wise to pay upfront for a service.
• The gold scam: People will try to sell you “gold” chains (at cut-rate prices) that turn out to be worthless. Trust your instincts. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is, said Turner.
He also cautions to be doubtful when someone asks for secrecy surrounding a transaction. “That should be a huge red flag.”
Turner urged victims of fraud not to be too embar-rassed to call police. If it happened to you, it will happen to someone else. “You will probably be helping a friend or someone else who might end up in the same situation.”
Outsmart the new and more ingenious schemes
targetted at seniors
SENIORS’WEEK
JUNE 6-12, 2016
Simple ways to maintain your mental acuity
Many people know that a combination of a healthy di-et and routine exercise is the best way to maintain their physical health. But what about mental well-being? Mem-ory lapses are often assumed to be an accepted side effect of aging, but such an assumption is incorrect, as there are many steps men and women can take to maintain their mental acuity well into their golden years.
• Find time for friends and family. Many people need no reason to socialize, but those that do can now cite boost-ing brain function as a great reason to get together with family and friends. Routine socialization can keep a brain sharp by reducing its levels of cortisol, a potentially de-structive hormone brought on by stress. Researchers also believe that routine interaction with other people stimu-lates structures in the brain’s frontal lobe that are likely responsible for planning, decision making and response control.
• Squeeze in a nap every so often. Naps can have a reen-ergizing effect on men and women, but a study from Ger-man researchers also found that naps also can improve memory. In the study, researchers divided participants into three groups: people who would stay awake for 60 minutes; people who would sleep for six minutes; and people who would sleep for 30 to 45 minutes. After the hour was up, participants were given a word recall test, and those who slept performed better on the test than those who hadn’t. But the development that was perhaps most interesting was that those who slept for just six minutes performed just as well on the test as those who slept for far longer, leading researchers to suggest that men and women need not take long naps to improve their memories.
• Include fish in your diet. A study from researchers at Chicago’s Rush University Medical Center found that peo-ple who eat fish once per week have a 60 per cent lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease than those who do not include fish in their weekly diets. Researchers credit this lower risk to DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid that is found in both the brain and in fish such as salmon and tuna.

Do you not hear clearly when a group of people are talking?
Swiss researchers: Audéo V is superior for conversation.
The Audéo V hearing aids provide considerable reduction in noise allowing you to focus on speech.
Many people find that they are no longer able to understand everything being said, particularly when in the company of others. Engineered in Switzerland, the Audéo V hearing aid has been designed specifically to understand speech in group situations.The majority of those surveyed stated that when exposed to considerable background noise they are able to hear that something is being spoken, but can no longer discern precisely what is being said. The words seem blurred and indistinct. But why is that? The effect tends to manifest itself in group situations, especially in restaurants. It is the high-pitched tones perceived at the entrance to the cochlea that determine when you hear things accurately. In the majority of cases these parts of the inner ear are the first to be affected by noise or aging. As the high-pitched tones are no longer perceived well, the auditory centre of the brain begins to struggle to decode language. It’s a bit like an image that doesn’t have enough pixels.
Developed by Swiss audiologists the Audéo V hearing aid is designed to improve speech comprehension in noise, particularly with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can trial the new Audéo V system by Phonak simply by calling now to do so. During your FREE hearing test, our Hearing Care Professionals will determine how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role the technology called “Autosense OS” plays. This technology can recognize where the person being spoken to is located and
can amplify only his or her voice, while ambient noise is reduced. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing aid can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds, seamlessly adjusting to the listening situation. According to Swiss researchers, this can significantly improve speech comprehension, especially in conversation for the right candidates. Interested people can register for a free hearing test and trial of the Audéo V by calling 1.888.408.7377

EXCERCISE WILL TAKE YEARS OFF YOUR MIND AND BODY BY ADVOCATE STAFF
Red Deer doctors are handing out a new kind of prescription — exercise — and more seniors seem to be taking the advice to heart.
Prescription to Get Active is a Red Deer Primary Care Network program that involves doctors identifying patients who could benefit from more exercise and giving them a ‘prescription’ to attend a free trial class that can be used at 19 participating fitness programs.
Patients can use the prescription to visit as many participating facilities as they want. Often they are allowed to bring a guest.
Dr. Peter Bouch, past chair of the network, said the prescription stimulates conversation about exercise and an opportunity for patients to try something new that they just might enjoy.
“As long as you’re doing 30 minutes of exercise six times a week, it’s going to lower your blood sugar, lower your obesity, lower your blood pressure. It’s probably going to do as much as a lot of medication is going to do. I
think we underestimate it,” Bouch said.“Most people, after they do this for a couple of weeks,
they feel a whole lot better.”Golden Circle Seniors Resource Centre is on the list of
participating organizations and executive director Monica Morrison said more seniors than before have enrolled in Zumba, yoga, Tai Chi, line dancing and other Golden Circle classes.
“We’ve even had a resurgence in our square dancing group,” Morrison said.
Some of the classes will continue into the summer with programs like bocce ball.
She said Prescription to Get Active gives people the opportunity to try an unfamiliar activity without having to pay for the all the class.
While Morrison could not directly connect the increased participation to Prescription to Get Active, there has definitely been more active seniors at Golden Circle, she said.
“There’s a lot of push right now around the importance of physical activity.
“I strongly encourage everybody to engage in physical activity because it’s all about maintaining functional mobility which equals independence.”
She said seniors who are age 65 and over should engage in a minimum of 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity exercise per week.
At classes at Golden Circle, it doesn’t matter how much a senior can accomplish or how many repetitions they can do.
“They know here you can work at your own level of intensity. It’s all about you.”
She said exercise programs are also great opportunities for people to socialize.
Golden Circle also runs a community-based senior fitness program at Sacred Heart Church and is looking for volunteers to expand it to other churches and spaces.
Golden Circle will train volunteers to teach senior fitness classes. Anyone interested can call Morrison at 403-343-6074.

4 Seniors’ Week June 2, 2016
On May 1st, 2016 Comfort Keepers celebrated fi ve years of providing seniors and other residents with quality in-
home care services.
These care services are designed to help seniors maintain their independence in the comfort of their own homes through an array of services that include
help with household tasks such as light housekeeping, meal preparation, and personal care tasks such
as bathing and grooming. In addition, caregivers provide companionship, conversation and help with
grocery shopping, errands and medication reminders. Hospital transition to home services are also available as well as a suite of home safety monitors including
personal emergency response systems and medication dispensers.
Owner, Terri Brigden has helped over 250 seniors live independently and safely within their own homes and is proud to announce her fi ve-year anniversary. Over that same period, Comfort Keepers have employed almost 100 residents in Red Deer and Area with jobs. “We are proud to have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of seniors and their families,” says Brigden.
Seniors make a difference in the lives of Albertan’s every day. From supporting family members and friends to assisting charities and volunteering, thank you, and
enjoy this special week dedicated to all of you.

Sylvia E. – Innisfail, ABMy previous experiences with hearing aids had not been successful. Relationships were fading away and it had come to a point where friends hesitated to call because I couldn’t understand what they were saying. I knew I had to place myself under the care of a Doctor of Audiology. Since seeing Dr. Towers, I’m now able to stay better connected with family and friendships are being renewed. From the start, Dr. Towers’ care was never about selling me hearing aids. It was always about helping me hear at the best level possible. I feel a deep level of gratitude for Dr. Towers. He is honest, has high integrity and I trust his advice. I feel safe under his excellent care.
Amber E. – Hamilton, ON (daughter of Sylvia E.)Thank you so much for the quality of health care you’ve shown my mom. Her hearing is the best it’s been in years, and I can tell through my conversations with her that her mental health and overall quality of life has really improved.
