Throughout our local communities and across
the country, older adults are increasingly using their talents, skills and experiences to make a real difference through their volunteer service. In fact, older adults comprise a large part of the volunteer work force of many nonprofit agencies.
As volunteers do good by helping others and helping build a better community, they are also doing good for themselves. In fact, volunteering as part of a plan for good health is being recommended by more and more physicians to their older adult patients. In the past two decades research has shown that volunteering has many proven health benefits. A report by the Corporation for National and Community Service, The Health Benefits of Volunteering: A Review of Recent Research shows that volunteers have “greater longevity, higher functional ability, lower rates of
depression and less incidence of heart disease.” Those who volunteer report an increased sense of accomplishment and purpose in their lives. Studies have shown that volunteers over age 60 reported lower disability and higher levels of well-being compared to non-volunteers. The studies repeatedly found that volunteering leads to improved physical and mental health. In fact, it only takes about 100 hours per year, or about two hours a week to enjoy significant health
benefits of volunteering. The data has also shown that older adults reap the greatest health benefits. This is attributed to the sense of purpose and social role which volunteering provides. For individuals over 70 who volunteer 100 hours a year, the data shows less decline in health and functioning levels, less depression and increased longevity. So while your giving of your time and talents to help others, you’re also helping to improve your own health.
United Way RSVP of Marathon County is a free volunteer service for adults 55 and older who are interested in either getting started or already are volunteering. RSVP (Retired and Senior Volunteer Program) is a nationwide program that provides personalized help matching individual talents, skills and experience with critical community needs. This free program makes it easy and convenient for older adults to
get connected with a volunteer experience that is a good fit for them. In addition to the personalized placement service, RSVP provides additional benefits that support the volunteer experience such as accidental medical coverage, auto and volunteer liability insurance, and optional mileage reimbursement are some of the helpful benefits RSVP members receive. In addition RSVP members enjoy monthly coffee hours, educational programs and social events to enjoy if they choose.
In 2013, 275 United Way RSVP members provided over 33,000 hours of volunteer service doing 81 different jobs to help 43 nonprofit agencies within Marathon County.
For more information on United Way RSVP of Marathon County, contact Tony Omernik, at United Way RSVP of Marathon County by calling: 715-298-5721 or email: [email protected].

Ants are pests, whether indoors or out.
Fortunately, they’re easy to control, once you’ve figured out who you’re dealing with. Different ants are drawn to and repelled by different foods.
Carpenter ants are the most destructive variety and destroy support beams much like termites.
Brown Argentine ants, which nest outdoors and are drawn to sweets.
Pharaoh ants, yellow and
red, nest inside of buildings and aren’t picky foodies.
Reddish thief ants, attracted to meats and grease
Pavement ants, which are black and brown, nest in foundations.
Prevent them from entering your home.
Easiest preventions is to cut them off. Seal food, wipe crumbs, wash dishes right away, keep garbage controlled and sealed. Water is also an attractant,
so make sure your faucets are in good shape.
When you do find them, follow them to the entry point and try to seal them out. If you can’t seal them out, light helps confuse their patterns, so a night light can throw them off after a while.
Finally vacuum. Add some cornstarch to the vacuum bag to suffocate them, and make sure you are using a HEPA filter. Dispose of the bag immediately to prevent living ants from finding their way out.
Make your own ant bait.
There are lots of ordinary foods that ants won’t come close to, so use these to create your barrier naturally.
Citrus oil (can be
soaked into a piece of string), lemon juice, coffee grounds, cucumber peels, mint tea bags or dried mint leaves, cloves, cinnamon or cayenne pepper.
To kill and drive away ants that you see, mix a teaspoon of dish soap with water in a spray bottle; this will also clean up the scent trails they leave for others to follow. Citrus oil and water or plain white vinegar is equally effective.
At home recipe:• Mix a half teaspoon
each of honey, borax and aspartame in small bottles. Place bottles on their sides, with lids off. Ants will carry the bait back to their colonies. Important: use indoors only; must be kept away from pets and children.

Coffee Car, Awesome!Did you know that coffee grounds do so
much more than deliver a delicious brew and enrich our compost piles? They also help power electronics. In early 2011, an engineer in England found a way to con-vert old coffee grounds col-lected from local shops into fuel to power a car.
The coffee car sped up to 66.5 mph and broke a Guinness World Record for vehicles run on organic waste, beating out 2010’s record of 47.7 mph by a wood-burning car.
To modify the car to run on coffee grounds, the coffee car team equipped the vehicle with a gasifier that burns organic materials at high temperatures. When the coffee grounds are burned, they produce combustible gases, which, after cleaning and cooling, are used to fuel an adapted combustion engine. Super cool! Adapted from Earth911.com
Protection from the Ground UpYou should expect more from your bug repellent. Most people think to get effective protection you have to settle for chemical sprays, or worse, clip expensive units to your pocket and try not to inhale the fumes. And to find a good smelling repellent; well, there isn’t any. Nature Barrier® is for the outdoor lover who wants to sit and enjoy the sunset. We’re the original granular repellent for ground application using pure essential oils for 95 percent repellency and a gentle fragrance. So when you’re ready to
relax and soak up the great outdoors, sprinkle Nature Barrier® first and expect more from your outdoor experience.

Tired of sweeping out the soot in your fireplace? Add ½ cup of salt to natural wood every time you burn; the sodium chloride forms a weak acid that dissolves the creo-sote (black soot) that is left after a fire.

Fitness Over 50As you grow older, exercising and staying
fit becomes more important than ever. A regular fitness routine can help combat health conditions and diseases, improve sleep, control weight, boost energy, improve mood, enhance memory and reduce falls. Whether you are generally healthy or are managing an illness, there are numerous ways to get more active and incorporate fitness into your daily routine. Some pocketbook friendly suggestions include: raking leaves, climbing stairs, using food cans as weights, doing stretches while watching TV or walking at your local mall.
As a general goal, aim for at least 30 minutes of physical activity every day. Remember to check with your doctor before starting a new fitness program. It is best to choose a program that is within your physical abilities. If you have had knee or hip replacement, running may be out of the question, but walking could be a great alternative. Perhaps your mobility is limited or you use a wheelchair. Look for a fitness program that is low impact and can be done from a chair or wheelchair. Be sure to check your local Aging and Disability Resource
Center or YMCA for a listing of classes. Participating in a combination of
endurance, strength building, balance and flexibility exercises will give you the most benefit. Some exercises to try that incorporate multiple components of fitness include yoga, tai chi, Pilates, swimming and dance classes. The key is to find activities you enjoy.
At Benedictine Living Community of Wausau, we feel very strongly about the fitness of our residents. Our wellness department has implemented the BESTAge (www.bestage.co) Quality of Life Program. Assessed long-term residents have the opportunity to be involved in structured and monitored wellness classes lead by trained wellness coaches. The classes accommodate nearly all levels of ability and focus on assisting residents to increase and/or maintain higher levels of functional capacity. The goal is keeping residents more healthy, independent and happy. If you have any questions about this innovative and exciting wellness program, please feel free to contact Nicole Lokken, Benedictine Living Community of Wausau wellness director at 715-675-9451.

Yoga for Healthy Aging — Body, Mind and Mood By Mary Hilliker, RD, RYT 500
Are you interested in better balance, improved reaction
time, sound memory, and emotional calmness? Through body-mind practices such as yoga, we strengthen all of these aspects of a healthy aging brain.
The physical practice of yoga, known as asana, helps strengthen muscles that are weak (remember, we lose muscle mass as we age so we have to use it or lose it!) and improves flexibility. Even more powerful is how we practice yoga postures. Combining the flow of the breath with movement strengthens the connection between the body and mind, trains attention and improves mental focus, all of these key to better balance.
Yoga “lights up” the brain. Studies done at UW-Madison on meditating monks provided some of the initial evidence that these ancient practices activate and change the brain. There is a lot of interest in the research community about how yoga may improve cognitive functions in seniors such as improving reaction time and short-term memory. In my experience with teaching seniors, some of the most helpful aspects of yoga include adaptations of the physical practice and breathing techniques to utilize the right and left hemispheres of the brain, use of sound to train memory, and
breathing and meditative practices to promote mental focus.
Emotional intelligence and calmness tend to improve with age. We can stabilize mood and lift spirits with yoga. A variety of yoga techniques typically provide the best results for improving mood, including yoga postures combined with breath adaptation, seated breathing practices, sound, and meditation.
One of the most powerful practices for mood is what is called “right association or relationship”. This includes the people you associate with, the activities you engage in and how you live the values that are most important to you.
While many people often come to yoga initially for the exercise, they often leave with a stronger body-mind connection, better balance, a “sharper” brain and improved mood. Yoga is a powerful practice for healthy aging!
Mid-Day Yoga Break – Engage Your Brain
Urdhva Prasarita Padasana Adaptation in a Chair
Sit in a chair forward of the back of the chair. Rest hands on your thighs. Take a few deep breaths, cultivating a smooth flow to your inhalation and
exhalation. As you inhale, move your left
arm/hand forward and up and spread your fingers on the left hand as you simultaneously straighten your right leg and press through the right heel and spread the toes on the right foot. On exhale, slowly lower the left hand/arm and right leg/foot.
On your next inhale, do the opposite side – right arm/hand and left leg/foot. Exhale and lower slowly back to the starting position.
Continue to do this for 5 more rounds (10 breaths total). Rest and take a few more minutes to breath smoothly and deeply, making your inhale and exhale equal in length.

This is another edition of “IT’S NOT WORK, IT’S FUN”
brought to you by the Fraser Family Foundation (FFF) based out of Wausau Wisconsin. It is also brought to you by Mount View Mobil, Rib Mountain.
Mount View Mobil, a terrific sponsor, on 51 and NN in Rib Mountain, is where our canister is located to drop in your pennies for the Veterans Gas Cards. FFF buys gas cards for our vets to get back and forth to the medical clinic or the hospital.
Are you starting your plants for the summer? If you are starting them now let me give you a few tips for a successful start. Give your seeds a warm place to germinate. If you place them in an area where the temperatures fluctuate too much you won’t get good germination. When seeds are developing they will have stunted growth with too many temperature swings. The best way too avoid this is to find a place in your home where the temperature doesn’t get too high or low during the day. This will slow and stunt cell structure and growth. Do not place seeds or seedlings in direct bright sunlite because when the sun goes down the temperature may drop too rapidly for the seeds to deal with effectively.
Once the seeds start to come up, place them into more direct sunlite. Even temperature and light swings are best for the little buggers. Be sure to check them for disease, fungus and insects. Brainard Funeral Home and Cremation Center, Weston and
Wausau, WI, has been one of our fine sponsors from the beginning.
If your seedlings are getting leggy and straggly looking, this is an indication that they are not getting enough CO2. Carbon dioxide is what all plants take in. Short of releasing a tiny bit spray from a fire extinguisher (P.S. this is NOT advised), increasing the air circulation with an oscillating fan is a great solution. Carbon dioxide is what plants take in to survive and give off O2, oxygen, so that we can survive. Using a fire extinguisher for anything other than putting out a fire is NOT a good idea and is NOT recommended. Another great advertiser from the very start is Peterson/Kraimer Funeral Homes & Crematory Inc, Wausau, (2 locations).
WE HAVE A BRAND NEW RADIO PROGRAM on 1230 AM WXCO every Saturday morning from 9-10 AM. It is a live call-in program, 715-298-9888 and 1230wxco.com on the internet. ASK ME YOUR GARDENING QUESTION!!!.
We are still doing FM 93.3 on Friday mornings as well. Crossroads County Market Wausau, has been behind us from nearly the beginning as well. Treat yourself and go see the ARISTA Dinner Theater Plays when they perform at area restaurants throughout the Spring season. Call 715-571-9272 for Arista’s info.
Last but not least water your started fruits and vegetables with as much room temperature melted snow as possible. Notice I said
room temperature. Don’t pour cold freshly melted snow on any of your plants because this will damage them. The colder the temperature means that a bigger chance of shock will set in. This is akin to human beings jumping into frozen water, with nothing more than a swimsuit on, in the middle of Winter. Why? Any form of moisture from the good Lord, i.e. rain, snow, dew, fog, is Natural Nitrogen and this is what plants crave. ALL PLANTS.
Other fine sponsors for FFF are: Associated Banks of Marathon
County, Wausau; Wausau Area Metro Ride Buses, Wausau. All 25 vehicles carry our posters on the inside of every bus. Wausau Spring & Alignment, Wausau; Vicor Security; Audio and Visual, Wausau; WNRB radio, FM 93.3, wnrblp.org on the web. Like the Fraser Family Foundation on Facebook.

For bad breath stick with sugar free options such as Dentine or Tri-Dent sugar free gum. Sweetened mints or gum can add to bad breath. Chew the gum for at least twenty minutes after eating.
End under arm odor with Milk of Magnesia. Find it in drug stores or the grocery store drug departments. Dab it on freshly washed armpits once a day preferably at bedtime. The odor will be gone within three days and kept away for quite some time.

on more than 2,000 people with hearing loss as well as their significant others demonstrated that hearing aids clearly are associated with impressive improvements in the social, emotional, psychological, and physical well-being of people with hearing loss in all hearing loss categories from mild to severe. Specifically, hearing aid usage is positively related to the following quality of life issues. Hearing loss treatment was shown to improve:
• Earning power • Communication in relationships • Intimacy and warmth in family relationships • Ease in communication • Emotional stability • Sense of control over life events • Perception of mental functioning • Physical health

By Eve Montgomery, Director of Community Relations for Azura Memory Care
Wandering is one of the most common symptoms
exhibited by those living with memory loss. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, 6 out of 10 people with memory loss will wander outside of the home and become lost. If not found within 24 hours, up to half of those who wander risk serious injury or death. In some, episodes of wandering can last for a few days, while in others it can go on for months or even years.
After this long, snowy, cold winter most people crave to be outside. Therefore, it is no wonder that the warmer Spring breezes bring on an increase in wandering for those with memory loss. Wandering can be brought on by a feeling of anxiety or signal a change in the progression of the disease or an infection. It is can be one of the most frustrating, scary and draining times for the caregiver, as they feel the need to always be on high alert. However, if you take a step back and look at wandering as simply the disease trying to speak for your loved one, it may help you understand and provide the patience needed to enter into their wandering world.
For example, every afternoon your eighty year old mother begins pacing and trying to leave the house. She says that she needs to meet the kids at the bus. Our first reaction may be to explain to
Mom that her kids are grown and that she doesn’t need to meet the bus anymore, but this may further confuse and upset her.
In reality what the disease is actually expressing for her is that she has the desire to be needed and valued. Our job is to meet that need. Our job is to use her personal history and try to relate to her feelings of anxiety. In addition, we need to enter her reality and possibly engage her in a conversation about her kids, then slowly refocus the conversation towards other topics. You could also consider going with her for a walk to help release her anxiety or find something else she enjoys like listening to her favorite song. You could also bring Mom a chair so that she can sit and wait for the bus, again providing her with another activity to do while she waits and thereby changing her focus naturally to another activity.
However, if your loved one is exiting outdoors, please consider investing in alarms for all of the doors for your home, enrolling them in the Medic Alert + Safe Return program offered by the Alzheimer’s Association and investigate secure homes in your area, like Azura Memory Care, that specialize in caring for those with memory loss.
In addition, we are asking for everyone’s support in advocating for the Silver Alert law recently passed by the State of Wisconsin House of Representatives that would build upon the success of
Wisconsin’s Amber Alert system and allow for its use in finding missing at-risk elderly adults. Currently this law is still waiting to be heard in the State Senate. Please take a minute to call to your State Senator and that they help push this important legislation to the floor and to our communities.
Together we can ensure that all in our community remain safe throughout their disease process!
Eve Montgomery is the Director of
Community Relations for Azura Memory Care, which offers a unique model of memory care services and programs for those suffering from dementia and Alzheimer’s. Azura believes in the importance of transforming the culture of care through transformational programming and educational outreach.

What is WisPACT?By Mark D. Munson and Shanna N. Yonke, Ruder Ware, L.L.S.C., Wausau, Wisconsin.
In order to be eligible for federal and state means-tested public benefits, you must have assets worth $2,000 or less. If you
have more than $2,000 worth of assets, you will not qualify for public benefits programs like Medicaid and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). There are various exemptions from this asset limitation. For instance, pre-paid funeral arrangements and household goods are not included in the asset calculation. These are called exempt assets. All other assets are not exempt.
The asset limitations for means-tested public benefits leaves you with two options: (1) spend down your non-exempt assets until you have $2,000 or less, or (2) put your non-exempt assets in a Special Needs Trust (SNT). A SNT is an irrevocable trust, which means that you cannot terminate the trust after you have created it. You are the only beneficiary of the SNT, and distributions from the SNT may only be made to you or for your benefit. Distributions cannot be made to or for the benefit of anyone other than you, including your spouse, children, and other family members. Assets in a SNT are not counted against you for the purpose of qualifying for means-tested public benefits. By putting your assets into a SNT, you can receive public benefits while preserving your assets for future use on expenses that will improve your quality of life or to pay for expenses that may not be covered by a particular public benefits program.
Wisconsin Pooled and Community Trusts, Inc., more commonly known as WisPACT, is a Wisconsin nonprofit organization that manages SNTs for people with disabilities. WisPACT SNTs are pre-approved by the federal and state agencies that oversee means-tested public benefits programs. You can create your own WisPACT SNT by working with an attorney to complete and submit a WisPACT application form.
The money in your WisPACT SNT can be used to improve your quality of life without disqualifying you from means-tested public benefits programs that help you pay for basic living expenses. When you want to use the money in your SNT to pay for an expense, you will submit a request to WisPACT, and then WisPACT will determine whether the distribution will interfere with your ability to receive public benefits. If the distribution will not interfere with your public benefits,
WisPACT will make the distribution to pay for the expense. In most cases, WisPACT will pay the provider or creditor directly on your behalf.
Common examples of distributions from WisPACT SNTs include: travel expenses for vacations and holidays, uncovered medical and dental costs, appliances and furniture, home and vehicle repairs and purchases, accounting and legal fees, and television,
telephone, and Internet expenses. WisPACT cannot make distributions in cash or in reimbursement of an expense already paid by you, and it cannot make distributions for the purposes of making gifts or paying for utilities or food, if those expenses are covered by your public benefits.
If you are over 65 years of age, your WisPACT SNT will be a sub-account of a pooled WisPACT trust account, meaning that all people over 65 years of age who create WisPACT SNTs for their own benefit combine their money in a single trust account. Even though your assets are pooled together with the assets of other individuals, your assets are separately accounted for within your sub-account. Upon your death, if the amount of money remaining in your sub-account is greater than the value of the public benefits you received during your lifetime, your money will first be used to reimburse the State of Wisconsin for any public benefits it has paid on your behalf and then the balance will be distributed according to your wishes. However, if the amount of money remaining in your sub-account is less than the value of the public benefits you received during your lifetime, your money will continue to be held by WisPACT and will be used to benefit other elderly and disabled individuals in Wisconsin.
If you have questions about how you can create a WisPACT SNT to preserve your non-exempt assets while qualifying for means-tested public benefits, please contact Mark D. Munson or Shanna N. Yonke, the authors of this article, or any of the attorneys in the Elder Law Practice Group at Ruder Ware.

Why Have a Funeral?
Have you ever lost someone through death? At that
time did you receive the love and support of friends and family? If you have, then you already know how grateful you were for every person who came to express their support at the time of a funeral service/visitation. There is a reason why throughout the centuries people have planned and made time for funerals.
Recently a friend commented to me that her work supervisor died rather unexpectedly at home. The workers were told of the death the next morning and the supervisor’s desk was cleared. The grief-stricken husband planned no service. My friend was devastated because she had no formal way to express her words of loss to the husband and family or acknowledge what the supervisor meant to her. My friend had no time to pause with others, or place to go with her grief. She had no public way to honor the life of the supervisor. And, for the next several weeks she went to work to view the empty desk where her supervisor sat feeling sad and empty. Many of the workers felt awkward and wondered how to handle their emotions and they all felt a need for expression.
Dr. Allen Wolfelt, PhD. in his writing, Why is the Funeral Ritual Important, refers to six needs of mourning:
1) Acknowledge the reality of the death. Funerals teach us that someone we loved is now dead. We witness death’s finality.
2) Move toward the pain of the loss. Funerals force us to concentrate on the fact of the death and our feelings, often excruciatingly painful, about the death. A funeral is the only time and place in which we as a society condone such openly outward expression of our sadness.
3) Remember the person who died. A funeral highlights the major events in the life of the deceased and the characteristics he or she most prominently displayed. The sharing of memories at the funeral affirms the worth we have placed on the person who died.
4) Develop a new self-identity. The funeral helps us begin the difficult process of developing a new self-identity. Who you are has now changed.
5) Search for meaning. When someone dies, we naturally question the meaning of life and death. Funerals help us convey our beliefs and values about life and death. A funeral reinforces one central fact of our existence — we will die. Each funeral serves as a sort of dress rehearsal for our own.
6) Receive ongoing support from others. Funerals are a public means of expression for offering support to others and being supported in grief. Funerals make a social statement — come support me. Without a funeral, whether we realize it or not, we are saying don’t come support me. At funerals, we are allowed to embrace, to touch, to comfort. Words are inadequate, so we non-verbally demonstrate our support. This physical show of support is one of the most important healing aspects of funeral ceremonies.
We know many of you have attended funerals of your friends and loved ones. Now it is your turn to tell us why you think a funeral is important and someone will win a prize in an essay contest!

If you’d prefer to make healthy choices when you crave things that aren’t so healthy
for you, just clip out this article and tape it to your refrigerator door for future reference.
► Craving chocolate? You probably really need magnesium, which is abundant in raw nuts and seeds, legumes, and fruits.
► That sweet tooth driving you crazy? Your body could be telling you it needs chromium, found in broccoli, grapes, cheese, dried beans, calves liver, and chicken. Or it might mean you need the carbon found in fresh fruits. Or, maybe sulfur, available in cranberries, horseradish, cruciferous vegetables, kale, and cabbage. A craving for sweets could mean a lack of phosphorous, found in chicken, beef, liver, fish, eggs, dairy, nuts, legumes, and grains. Or, you might be short on tryptophan, commonly found in cheese, liver, lamb, raisins, sweet potato, spinach.
► Are you mad for bread or toast? You maybe really need some nitrogen, and you can find it in high-protein foods like fish, meat, nuts, and beans.
► Craving oily, fatty foods? You
probably could use some calcium, common in mustard and turnip greens, broccoli, kale, legumes, cheese, and sesame.
► Do you want coffee or tea and you want it now? It could be that your body really wants phosphorous or sulfur (see under “Sweets”), or maybe you need salt from sea salt or apple cider vinegar, or possibly iron from meat, fish, poultry, seaweed, and black cherries.
► Even cravings for alcohol and recreational drugs might indicate nutrients you need, such as protein from meat,
seafood, dairy, and nuts; avenin in granola and oatmeal; calcium in mustard and turnip greens, kale, legumes, and milk products; glutamine found in raw cabbage juice; or potassium found in sun-dried black olives, potato peel broth, seaweed, and bitter greens.
► Are you on a mission for something salty? Maybe you need the chloride found in sea salt, raw goat milk, and fish.
► Are you dreaming of a cool drink? Lack of manganese might be the culprit. You can find it in walnuts, almonds, pecans, pineapple, and blueberries.
► To curb overeating in general, silicon, found in nuts and seeds might help, as well as tryptophan (see under “Sweets”) and tyrosine, common in Vitamin C supplements and orange, green, red fruits and veggies.
► A lack of appetite, might indicate a need for Vitamin B1 (tuna, seeds, beans, liver and other organ meats), Vitamin B3 (tuna, halibut, beef, chicken, turkey, pork, seeds, and legumes), manganese (see under “Cool drinks”), or chloride (see under “Salty foods”).
► To help fight tobacco cravings, try some silicon or tyrosine (see under “Overeating” for both).
