2014 was a very busy year for Dolly Parton. Earlier in the year, Dolly released her new album entitled ‘Blue Smoke.’ In the summer of the same year, she fi nished her Blue Smoke World Tour. During her tour, 55+ Magazine was given the opportunity to participate in a virtual press conference from Stockholm (Dolly was performing there) with 70 other journalists from around the globe. Our magazine was honored to be chosen to be one of the few to ask Dolly a question. We are going to open this article with this question and Dolly’s response.
55+: “We have a 55+ population of about 2 million living here in Southeast Florida and they would love to know how you maintain such an abundant positive energy over 5 decades of your career and secondly, you just performed ‘Jolene’ at the Glastonbury Festival 40 years after its release in 1974. How does it make you feel that the song is still so recognized?”
DP “Well, fi rst of all, ‘Jolene’, I am just so proud of that little song. A lot of people don’t realize it but that’s the song that I have written that has been recorded more than any other song by other artists throughout the world. I still enjoy singing it and it makes me feel great. That song…. I think it’s just so easy to sing… it’s got that bouncy little feeling and I think that a lot of people relate to it. So I am very proud of ‘Jolene’ and I am very glad people are still liking
2014 fue un año muy ocupado para Dolly Parton. A principios de año, Dolly lanzó su nuevo álbum titulado ‘Blue Smoke.’ En el verano de este mismo año, terminó su Blue Smoke World Tour. Durante su gira, la revista 55+ Magazine tuvo la oportunidad de participar en una conferencia de prensa virtual de Dolly desde Estocolmo con otros 70 periodistas de todo el globo. Nuestra revista tuvo el honor de ser elegida para realizarle una pregunta. Comenzaremos este artículo con esta pregunta y su respuesta.
55+ “Tenemos una población de mas de 55 años de alrededor de 2 millones que viven aquí en el sureste de la Florida y que les encantaría saber cómo mantiene una energía positiva tan abundante por más de 5 décadas de su carrera y en segundo lugar, acaba de cantar ‘Jolene’ en el Festival Glastonbury 40 años después del lanzamiento de la canción en 1974, ¿Cómo te hace sentir el hecho de que la canción sigue siendo tan reconocida?“
DP “Bueno, en primer lugar, ‘Jolene’, estoy muy orgullosa de esa pequeña canción. Mucha gente no se da cuenta, pero esa canción que he escrito se ha registrado más que cualquier otra canción por otros artistas en todo el mundo. Todavía disfruto cantarla y me hace sentir muy bien. Esa canción.... Creo que es tan fácil de cantar ... tiene esa pequeña sensación y creo que

muchas personas se refi eren a ella. Así que estoy muy orgullosa de ‘Jolene’ y estoy muy contenta de que siga gustando. Y en cuanto a las otras cosas, sólo trabajo, tengo una buena actitud, me encanta mi trabajo y creo que eso es importante para uno. Estar ocupado, mantenerse ocupado, tratar de ser creativo. No creo que los años importen tanto si realmente uno se mantiene ocupado. Por supuesto, vamos envejeciendo, notamos las pequeñas cosas, ya sabes, como pasan los años. Pero eso no signifi ca que tengas que parar. Sólo tiene que cuidar de las cosas que se van
it. And as far as the other stuff, well I just work, I have a good attitude, I love my work and I think it’s important for people to be busy, stay busy and try to be creative. I don’t think the years matter so much if you really keep yourself busy. Of course, you see yourself getting older, you notice little things, you know, as the years go by. But that doesn’t mean you need to stop. You just need to take care of things as they come along but keep a good attitude above everything else. I try to keep myself busy and creative. I have good doctors, good make-up, a good attitude and whatever it

takes to keep myself looking better and feeling better…that’s what I am going to try to do from now on.”
Dolly’s new album, ‘Blue Smoke’ was number 42 in her incredible music career. All her albums have reached Top 10 status on the country charts with 6 (so far) reaching number 1. ‘Blue Smoke’ was released in many countries during her Blue Smoke World Tour and it is her highest-charting solo
presentando, pero mantener una buena actitud sobre todo lo demás. Trato de mantenerme ocupada y creativa. Tengo buenos médicos, buen maquillaje, una buena actitud y lo que sea necesario para mantenerme con mejor aspecto y sentirme mejor ... eso es lo que voy a tratar de hacer de ahora en adelante “.
El nuevo álbum de Dolly, ‘Blue Smoke’ fue número 42 en su increíble carrera musical. Todos sus álbumes han alcanzado el estado de Top 10 en las listas de country con 6 (hasta el momento) alcanzando número 1. ‘Blue Smoke’ fue lanzado en muchos países durante su Blue Smoke World Tour y es su álbum que mas alto ha alcanzado en los “charts.” Su gira cubrió muchas regiones diferentes del mundo, incluyendo Australia, Nueva Zelanda, Estados Unidos y varios países europeos. El 29 de junio de 2014, Dolly cantó por primera vez en el Festival de Glastonbury en el Reino Unido. Cantó canciones como ‘Jolene’ y ‘9 to 5’ a una gran multitud de más de 100.000. En este evento, Dolly celebró un evento de prensa en la que recibió una placa que celebra la venta de 100 millones de álbumes en todo el mundo. Este gran honor fue otorgado por la Asociación de la Industria Discográfi ca de Estados Unidos. Después de recibir esta placa, Dolly dijo “Estuve tan ocupada grabando discos en las últimas décadas que no me di cuenta que yo había acumulado tantas ventas. ¡Qué gran honor saber que tengo tantos fans que me han apoyado a través de los años. Gracias a la RIAA para el reconocimiento y la placa .... Me siento muy honrada y orgullosa “.

Dolly es una de las artistas femeninas más honrada de todos los tiempos. La lista sería muy larga si tuviéramos que mencionar todos los premios otorgados a Dolly. Algunos de estos incluyen premios Grammy, American Music Awards, y Asociación Country Music Awards por su trabajo en la industria de la música. La lista sería aún más si incluiríamos todas sus nominaciones. Ella está muy orgullosa de las canciones que ha escrito y cuando se le preguntó, Dolly dijo: “Yo siempre he sido escritora. Mis canciones son la puerta a todos los sueños que he tenido y todo el éxito que he logrado.”
Dolly también tiene muchas nominaciones por su trabajo en películas. Algunas de sus actuaciones memorables incluyen papeles en ‘9 to 5’, ‘The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas,’ ’Steel Magnolias’ y ‘Joyful Noise ‘, sólo para nombrar unos pocos. Recibió dos nominaciones al Oscar, uno por escribir la canción del título a ‘9 to 5 ‘y otro para’ Travelin ‘Thru’ de la película ‘Transamerica’.
Su trabajo en televisión es tan impresionante. Muchos de nuestros lectores recuerdan Dolly cerrando su programa de televisión cada semana con su canción, “I Will Always Love You.” Nos sentábamos frente a nuestros televisores con la sensación de que Dolly estaba cantando directamente a nosotros y era muy conmovedor.
En 2006, recibió el ‘Kennedy Center Honors’ del John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts por sus contribuciones a las artes durante su vida.
album ever. Her tour covered many different regions of the world including Australia, New Zealand, the United States and several European countries. On June 29, 2014, Dolly performed for the fi rst time at the UK Glastonbury Festival. She sang songs such as ‘Jolene’ and ‘9 to 5’ to a large crowd of over 100,000. At this event, Dolly held a press event where she received a plaque celebrating sales of 100 million albums worldwide. This great honor was bestowed by the Recording Industry Association of America. After receiving this plaque, Dolly said “I’ve been so busy making records for the past several decades, I didn’t realize I had racked up so many sales. What a great honor to know that I have so many fans that have supported me through the years. Thanks to the RIAA for the acknowledgment and the plaque…. I feel very honored and proud.”
Dolly is one of the most-honored female country performers of all time. The list would be quite lengthy if we were to mention all of the awards given to Dolly. Some of these include Grammys, American Music Awards, and Country Music Association Awards for her work in the music industry. The list would be even longer to include all of her nominations. She is very proud of the songs she has written and when asked, Dolly said, “I’ve always been a writer. My songs are the door to every dream I’ve ever had and every success I’ve ever achieved.”
Dolly also has many nominations for her work in fi lms. Some of her memorable performances included roles in ‘9 to 5,’ ‘The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas,’ ’ Steel Magnolias’ and ‘Joyful Noise,’ just to

name a few. She received two Oscar nominations, one for writing the title tune to ’9 to 5’ and the other for ‘Travelin’ Thru’ from the fi lm ‘Transamerica.’
Her work in television is just as impressive. Many of our readers remember Dolly closing her TV show each week with her signature song, ‘I Will Always Love You.’ We sat in front of our television sets feeling that Dolly was singing directly to us and it was very moving.
In 2006, she received the ‘Kennedy Center Honors’ from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts for her lifetime of contributions to the arts.
Even with all these honors, she has always been a very ‘real’ person. Going to Dolly’s website
Incluso con todos estos honores, ella siempre ha sido una persona muy “real”. Puede ir a la página web de Dolly y leer acerca de la estatua de bronce de ella, que se encuentra en el césped de la corte en su ciudad natal de Sevierville, Tennessee. Dolly dice que es su “mayor honor, porque vino de las personas que me conocen.”
Primeros Años Dolly nació en el condado de
Sevier, Tennessee, sus padres, Robert Lee Parton, un cultivador de tabaco, y su esposa Avie Lee. El padre pagó el médico que ayudó su nacimiento con una bolsa de harina de avena. Ella fue el cuarto de doce hijos y ha descripto a su familia como “extremadamente pobre”. Sus primeras canciones: ‘Coat of Many Colors’ y ‘In the Good Old Days (When Times Were Bad)’ recordaron la pobreza de su familia. Vivían en una cabaña rústica, de una sola habitación en Locust Ridge, justo al norte del valle de Greenbrier de las Great Smoky Mountains, un área predominantemente Pentecostal.
La Música jugó un papel importante en su vida temprana. Dolly comenzó a actuar siendo niña, cantando en programas de radio y televisión locales. El día después de que se graduó de la escuela secundaria en 1964, se mudó a Nashville. Su éxito inicial en Nashville llegó como compositora. Su primer single, ‘Dumb Blonde’ (una de las pocas canciones que grabó pero no escribió), alcanzó el puesto # 24 en la lista de la música country a principios de 1967, siguió el mismo año con ‘Something Fishy’, que llegó al # 17. Las dos canciones

you can read about the bronze statue of her, which stands on the courthouse lawn in her hometown of Sevierville, Tennessee. Dolly says it’s her “greatest honor, because it came from the people who know me.”
Early YearsDolly was born in Sevier County,
Tennessee to Robert Lee Parton, a tobacco farmer, and his wife Avie Lee. Parton’s father paid the doctor who helped deliver her with a bag of oatmeal. She was fourth of twelve children and she has described her family as being “dirt poor”. Her early songs: ‘Coat of Many Colors’ and ‘In the Good Old Days (When Times Were Bad)’ recalled her family’s poverty. They lived in a rustic, one-room cabin in Locust Ridge just north of the Greenbrier Valley of the Great Smoky Mountains, a predominantly Pentecostal area. Music played an important role in her early life. Dolly began performing as a child, singing on local radio and television programs. The day after she graduated from high school in 1964, she moved to Nashville. Her initial success in Nashville came as a songwriter. Her fi rst country single, “Dumb Blonde” (one of the few songs that she recorded but did not write), reached #24 on the country music chart in early 1967, followed the same year with “Something Fishy”, which went to #17. The two songs were part of her fi rst full-length album, ‘Hello, I’m Dolly.’

Cuando las viviendas asistidas se crearon por primera vez, era como una comunidad de jubilados. Si una persona tenia problemas de incontinencia o requeria una atención más personal, tenían que abandonar el centro e ir a un sanatorio. Finalmente, el gobierno y la industria de la salud trabajaron juntos para crear comunidades reguladas para proporcionar la atención adecuada con el fi n de satisfacer las necesidades de cada individuo.
Una vez que las instalaciones de viviendas asistidas se establecieron, la necesidad de otro tipo de alojamiento alternativo salieron a la luz, tales como centros Independiente, Hogares de Cuidado Familiar y Unidades de Demencias. En la Florida, las instalaciones pequeñas, (casas particulares) están ganando popularidad debido al hecho de que puedan brindar atención más personalizada. Ellos están autorizadas y reguladas por los mismos organismos que rigen todas las instalaciones de vida asistida, independientemente de su tamaño.
Muchas personas no comprenden el concepto de, o lo que está siendo ofrecido en una instalación de vida asistida (ALF).
Un posible candidato es por lo general cuando la persona necesita assistencia por lo menos en una o más actividades de la vida diaria (AVD). Algunas de las AVD son ducharse, vestirse, ir al baño y administración de medicamentos. El personal de la ALF está capacitado para brindar asistencia con todas las AVD junto con la
UNDERSTANDING ASSISTED LIVING ENTENDIENDO VIVIENDAS ASISTIDAS
When Assisted Living Facilities were fi rst created, they were more like a Retirement community. If a person had incontinence issues or required more personal care, they would have to leave the facility and go to a Skilled Nursing Home. Eventually, the government and the healthcare industry worked together to create regulated communities to provide appropriate care in order to meet the needs of each individual.
Once the Assisted Living Facilities were established, the need for other types of alternative housing came to light such as Independent Living, Adult Family Care Homes and Alzheimer-Dementia Units. In Florida, small, six bed facilities (private homes) are gaining popularity due to the fact that they can provide even more personalized care. They are licensed and regulated by the same agencies that govern all of the Assisted Living Facilities, regardless of size.
Many people do not completely understand the concept of, or what is actually offered in an Assisted Living Facility (ALF).
A prospective candidate for an ALF is usually in need of at least one or more Activities of Daily Living (ADLs). Some of the ADLs are showering, dressing, toileting and medication management. The staff of an ALF is trained to provide assistance with all of those ADLs along with housekeeping, laundry, transportation and social activities.
Most facilities are paid for by private, “out of pocket” funds.

However, fi nancial assistance can be found through the Veteran’s Administration, Long Term Care Insurance, and state programs, if certain requirements are met.
Overall, the best way to describe
Assisted Living is to think of it as a bridge between living at home and living in a Skilled Nursing Facility. Assisted Living has a residential focus with a home-like environment while a Nursing Home is primarily a medical institution.
Placement Counselors has been helping families fi nd placement for their loved ones since 1999. We provide experienced counselors who have been in the healthcare fi eld for over 20 years and are knowledgeable in all aspects of placement including all fi nancial programs available.
On a personal note……..Many families feel they want to
keep their loved one “at home” for as long as possible. The truth is, keeping them home may not be in their best interest. If left at home alone or with just one caregiver for only a few hours a day, Mom or Dad will not get the social interaction they need.
The most important thing is to never compromise the care of your loved one. If being “home” can no longer provide the adequate care physically and emotionally, then it’s time to give them what they are so deserving of………a carefully chosen Assisted Living Facility. •
limpieza, lavandería, transporte y actividades sociales.
La mayoría de las instalaciones son pagas privadamente. Sin embargo, la asistencia fi nanciera se puede encontrar a través de la Administración de Veteranos, Seguro de Cuidado a Largo Plazo, y los programas estatales, si se cumplen ciertos requisitos.
En general, la mejor manera de describir Assisted Living es pensar que es como un puente entre vivir en casa y vivir en un centro de enfermería especializada. Assisted Living tiene un enfoque residencial con un ambiente hogareño, mientras que un hogar de ancianos es principalmente una institución médica.
Los consejeros han estado ayudando a las familias a encontrar la ubicación de sus seres queridos desde 1999. Ofrecemos asesores experimentados que han estado en el campo de la salud desde hace más de 20 años y son expertos en todos los aspectos en hogares altenativos e incluso para todos los programas fi nancieros disponibles.
En una nota personal ........Muchas familias sienten que
quieren mantener su ser querido “en casa” por el tiempo que sea posible. A veces, dejarlos en casa puede no ser la major opción. Si se deja a la persona sola en casa o con un cuidador por unas pocas horas al día, su ser querido no logrará la interacción social que necesita. Lo más importante es no comprometer el cuidado de su ser querido. Si en su “hogar” usted no puede darle la atención adecuada física y emocional, entonces es el momento de darle a su ser querido lo que se merece... Un Centro de cuidado seleccionado con la ayuda de un profesional. •

A GLANCE BACK AND ANTICIPATING TOMORROWREVISAR LO HECHO Y ANTICIPARSE AL MAÑANA EDITH SCHAFFER LEDERBERGEXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AGING AND DISABILITY RESOURCE CENTER OF BROWARD COUNTY
For Resource Information call 855-455-PLUS (7587)18
En agosto de 1977, como un reciente traslado de Long Island, Nueva York, acepté el cargo de Coordinador de la Comunidad con el Area Agency on Aging del Condado de Broward. Como asesor docente y de relaciones públicas, sentí que el trabajo y sus responsabilidades sería un reto interesante!. Mi dedicación a la tercera edad también fue un factor importante en mi proceso de toma de decisiones.
Durante los últimos 37 años, la población mayor de Broward ha aumentado de 137.000 a cerca de 382.000! Mi trabajo fue el de Director Ejecutivo en 1986. Desde entonces, los retos asociados con la posición, han aumentado enormemente. Hoy en día, por lo que recuerdo los primeros años, cuando la fi nanciación gubernamental era amplia y fl uída, me maravillo de las habilidades del personal para aprovechar su tiempo y talentos hacia el logro de resultados positivos para los necesitados.
La Junta, Consejo Consultivo, y proyectos son socios que constantemente se esfuerzan por benefi ciar Mayores Browardians. A medida que la población “Adultos Mayores” aumenta llegando a los 90 y 100 años, la historia está escribiendo nuevas páginas que
In August of 1977, as a recent transplant from Long Island, New York, I accepted a position as Community Coordinator with the Area Agency on Aging of Broward County. As a teacher and public relations consultant, I sensed that the job and its responsibilities would be an interesting challenge! My dedication to seniors also was a major factor in my decision making process.
Over the past 37 years, Broward’s year-round elder population has swelled from 137,000 to close to 382,000! My job became that of Executive Director in 1986. Since then, the challenges associated with the position have augmented tremendously. Today, as I recall the early years, when governmental funding was ample and fl owing, I marvel as the staff’s abilities to stretch their time and talents toward accomplishing positive results for those in need.
The Board, Advisory Council, and Projects are partners who constantly strive to benefi t Senior Browardians. As the “Older Old” population swells into the 90’s and 100’s, history is writing new pages that describe novel methodologies for maintaining older persons in their accustomed environments,

thereby avoiding premature nursing home placement.
I invite people to join my personal quest for positive answers to the aging dilemma, for no one can, or should walk the path to success alone. Contributing fi nancially to the Aging and Disability Resource Center is a help, contacting legislators, on the local, state, and national levels to seek increased appropriations is a bonus; and recognizing that what once was a sandwich generation, now is a double or triple decker menu item, is a leap into the recipe of hope for humanity. •
describen nuevas metodologías para el mantenimiento de las personas mayores en sus entornos habituales, evitando así la prematura internación en una Residencia para mayores.
Quiero invitar a la gente a unirse a mi búsqueda personal de respuestas positivas a la disyuntiva de envejecimiento, ya que nadie puede, o debería recorrer el camino hacia el éxito por sí solo. Contribuir fi nancieramente a los niveles de envejecimiento y el Centro de Recursos para Discapacitados es una ayuda, ponerse en contacto con los legisladores, a nivel local, estatal y nacional, para buscar un aumento de los créditos, es una ventaja; y reconociendo que lo que una vez fue una generación sándwich, ahora es un elemento de menú doble decker o triple, es un salto en la receta de esperanza para la humanidad. •

Como Sheriff, quiero asegurarme que la Ofi cina del Sheriff de Broward esté haciendo todo lo posible para las personas mayores de nuestro condado honrando y respetando su independencia. El Broward 2-1-1 senior touch salva vidas proporcionando una llamada telefónica diaria gratuita a las personas mayores de 60 años o más que viven solas en el condado de Broward.
En marzo de 2013, Irene Bell se paró en un taburete en la cocina, buscando un regalo para su perro, perdió el equilibrio y se cayó. Irene, que vive sola, estaba herida y no podía moverse. Cuando Irene perdió su llamada de Broward 2-1-1 a las 9 A.M., un delegado BSO fue enviado.
Sin 2-1-1 Irene no podría haber conseguido la ayuda que necesitaba. He aquí cómo funciona: tres llamadas se hacen a la casa de la persona mayor en una hora. Si no hay respuesta, Broward 2-1-1 senior touch alerta BSO y un delegado se envía a la residencia inmediatamente.
El consejero que llama a diario también establece una relación cariñosa, confi able. El consejero puede conectar a la persona de la tercera edad con los organismos y organizaciones que pueden proporcionar los alimentos necesarios, el transporte o la medicación necesaria.
Para obtener más información o para inscribirse en Broward 2-1-1 senior touch, llame al 2-1-1 o visite el sitio web de Broward 2-1-1 en http://211-broward.org/senior-touchline/.

As Sheriff, I want to ensure the Broward Sheriff’s Offi ce is doing everything we can for our county’s seniors while honoring and respecting their i n d e p e n d e n c e . The Broward 2-1-1 Senior Touchline
is saving lives by providing a free daily telephone call to seniors age 60 and over who live alone in Broward County.
In March 2013, Irene Bell was standing on a stool in her kitchen, stretching for a treat for her service dog when she lost her balance and fell. Irene, who lives alone, was hurt and couldn’t move. When Irene missed her 9 a.m. call from Broward 2-1-1, a BSO deputy was dispatched.
Without 2-1-1 Irene might not have gotten the help she needed. Here’s how it works: three calls are placed to the senior’s home within an hour. If there is no response, Broward 2-1-1 Senior Touchline alerts BSO and a deputy is sent to the residence immediately.
The daily call counselor also establishes a caring, reliable relationship. The counselor can connect seniors with agencies and organizations that can provide needed food, transportation, or required medication.
For more information or to register for Broward 2-1-1 Senior Touchline, dial 2-1-1 or visit the Broward 2-1-1 website at http://211-broward.org/senior-touchline/.
To fi nd out more about the Broward Sheriff’s Offi ce, visit www.sheriff.org to view our community events calendar, sign up for e-alerts, or connect with BSO on Facebook and Twitter. •

Note that Medicaid does not pay the whole cost of care. This is based on his/her income.

Estamos buscando personas que puedan brindar su tiempo para hacer compañia a algunos de nuestros clientes. Especialmente necesitamos voluntarios bilingues y estámos buscando algunos “Buenos Hombres”. Tenemos clientes en nuestra lista de espera que se podrán benefi ciar del acompañamiento masculino o de personas que hablen su mismo idioma. Por desgracia, los amigos de una persona que es diagnosticada con Alzheimer no socializan con ellos y son aislados con sólo la compañia de la persona que los cuida. Este tipo de servicio es muy importante en las primeras etapas de la enfermedad de Alzheimers cuando el paciente todavía está consciente de sus alrededores y está tratando con la realidad de padecer esta enfermedad.
Si conoces una persona que pueda donar unas horas a la semana para ofrecerle la Amistad a un cliente de mayor edad, por favor déjele saber de nuestro programa de acompañantes…también dígaselo a sus amigos en su iglesia o sinagoga. •
VOLUNTEERS NEEDEDNECESITAMOS VOLUNTARIOS
We are looking for individuals to volunteer their time to be a companion to one of our clients. We especially need bi-lingual volunteers and we’re looking for a “few good men.” There are clients on our waiting list who could benefi t greatly from male companionship or someone that speaks their native language.
Unfortunately, often when someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, their friends no longer socialize with them, and they become isolated with only the company of a caregiver. This type of service is important in the early stages when the patient is still aware of their surroundings and is dealing with the realization that he/she has this disease.
If you know an empathetic person who could provide a few hours a week to befriend a senior client, please let them know about our companion program ….. And mention it to your friends at church or synagogue, too! •
