The conversion of old Fire Station Number 3, in Clark Centennial Park, by the Community Services Department of the City of Longmont is progressing. The architectural plans are complete and will now be used to develop construction plans. Then, a contractor will be selected. The facility will have an exercise room and another room which can be made into two smaller rooms for classes and other activities. Barring unforeseen problems, I would expect a 2013 opening. The Friends of the Senior Center have pledged up to $100,000 to support the renovation project. Your donations are at work to improve and expand the facilities of the Senior Center!

Longmont has a great Senior Center which has excellent support from the City of Longmont. The Senior Center has a superior staff and is enthusiastically supported by The Friends of the Senior Center. Longmont has a growing senior population and usage of the Senior Center has been increasing each year. There are numerous activities, as outlined in this newsletter.

Protecting Older AdultsAbuse of elders is a concern in our community. Sadly, we have older adults in our community who are being financially exploited, neglected, and emotionally, sexually and physically abused. Sometimes the abuse and exploitation may be difficult to identify. It is possible that you know someone who has been victimized and you may be having difficulty identifying it. Perhaps you’ve encountered a situation or heard information that just doesn’t feel or seem right. Or maybe you’ve noticed unexplained bruising, unexpected weight loss, or a "new friend" spending lots of time with someone. Or perhaps someone you know has become increasingly isolated and you’re not sure why. These are just a few examples of what elder abuse may look like. As a friend or family member you are in a position to notice changes in an elder who is close to you. You can help; CALL Adult Protective Services, 303-441-1441, when you

believe an older person is being taken advantage of, abused, or at risk of self-harm.

Exercise

3 R’s - Rediscover, Restore, RealignLet us help you attain the 3 R's of the Egoscue Method (Egoscue is the name of the person who developed this methodology). The Egoscue Method is a Postural Therapy Program which involves a series of stretches and gentle exercises. Rediscover the body's design, Restore function, Return to health. Egoscue works by returning the body to its original blueprint—the standing normal anatomical position. In this position, the 8 major load joints (ankles, knees, hips, and shoulders) are directly aligned. An individual can deviate from this position for several reasons, and the result is muscular imbalance, loss of strength and flexibility, compensation, and finally pain. This class helps individuals regain the functional postural position through a set of individually designed repositioning, stretching, strengthening, or functional exercises.

Aerobic Fitness ClassRegistration is ongoing. This fun, uplifting class provides aerobic exercises to improve your health, make you feel good, and start your day with positive energy.

HikesA variety of hiking destinations with different skill levels have been planned. All hikers are responsible for bringing and carrying their own gear: water/drink, food, clothing, and equipment. Hikers are also responsible for staying with the group and being able to maintain a pace appropriate to the rating. (Please see our Hiking Newsletter for our rating system, equipment suggestions, and other program tidbits.) Mileage is approximate and represents the entire distance. The hike locations may be changed based on unforeseen conditions (e.g. weather, construction). Return time may vary according to location, weather, pace, and trail conditions. Prior to hiking, be sure to check with your physician regarding starting this program to make sure you are in good health. Hiking, especially at higher elevations, can be strenuous. If you have questions about your conditioning or endurance level, we encourage you to begin with a Walk (see page 29) or a hike rated “easy.” You may also call one of the following hike leaders for more help and information about the hikes: Carol Janda at 303-678-1560 or Marcia Matthews at 303-774-7892.

Trips are scheduled on various modes of transit: mini buses, school buses and coach buses. The style of bus is dependent upon cost, size of group, time and distance traveled, as well as availability of buses. We always try to be cost efficient and comfort oriented.

Departure times are definite. We do not wait for participants past the designated departure time either from the Senior Center or returning to the Senior Center.

Return times are approximate. Please do not schedule appointments close to the return times, we never know when delays may occur.

Bus seat assignments are made at the time of check-in. Participants draw a seat number for themselves and one other person (shared seating). These assigned seats are used both going to and from the trip destination. For extended trips, you will draw new seats each day.

Cancellations must be received by the dates printed in The GO if a full credit or refund is to be received. After that date, a partial credit or refund may be issued only if the spot is resold. Cancellations must be processed through the Senior Center. When possible, the staff will attempt to resell your spot to the first person on the waiting list, or if it is last minute and the Senior Center is closed, you may give your ticket to a person of your choice. Please call 303-651-8442, if you do so.

Trip Registration LOTTERY INFORMATIONFriday, May 18, 2:00 – 4:00 p.m.In fairness for all and to eliminate the need to arrive early, we will use a lottery format for the first day of trip registration. Numbers will be distributed to participants at 2:00 p.m. Corresponding numbers will then be placed in a tumbler and drawn randomly. When your number is called, you will have the opportunity to register for trips. Participants must be present when their number is called to keep things running smoothly.

The Book Of Mormon Activity # 8025.300 / 381008Date: Saturday, August 25

Winning 9 Tony Awards in 2011 - one of the most talked about musical comedies comes to Denver’s Elle Caulkins Theater. Hailed as the best musical in 25 years, you get a chance to see it and come to your own conclusions. It is said to be as sweet as it is outrageous. The story of two young Mormons dropped off in Uganda for their mission work and their innocence and love of faith take them on quite the journey. Sure to leave people laughing, tapping their toes, shaking heads and not quite sure if it is okay to laugh at the blasphemous humor. The writers are uncompromising in poking fun at all organized religions and using sophomoric humor, some say the humor is rude, crude and again outrageous. Show contains explicit language. Ability to look at the lighter side of life is a requirement in order to enjoy this show. Seats are located in the Loge (second balcony).

HOSPICE CARE Considered to be the model for quality, compassionate care for people facing a life-limiting illness or injury. Hospice and palliative care involve a team-oriented approach to expert medical care, pain management, and emotional and spiritual support expressly tailored to the person’s needs and wishes. Support is provided to the person’s loved ones as well. The focus of hospice relies on the belief that each of us has the right to die pain-free and with dignity and that our loved ones will receive the necessary support to allow us to do so.

Hospice care is covered under medicare, medicaid, most private insurance plans, HmOs, and other managed care organizations.

Hospice of Boulder and Broomfield Counties is the only non-profit agency providing hospice services in our county.

Information regarding all hospice providers, including those who service the Longmont area, may be found at www.bouldercountyhelp.org. Click on Adult Home Health Care Services.
