UCare will host "The State's Largest Senior Stretch Event" at the State Fair (Carousel Park), on Thursday, August 28, from 10 to 11 a.m. KARE TV's Diana Pierce will emcee the event, as seniors participate in stretching exercises led by specially trained fitness instructors. Participants will also learn how to stretch their prescription dollars from UCare's Medicare medical director, Barry Baines, M.D. "The old wisdom was that people who had arthritis should not exercise because it would damage joints," said Baines. "Now, research has shown that exercise, including stretching, is an essential tool in helping to maintain flexibility and mobility for people with arthritis. In fact, even people who don't have arthritis should incorporate stretching into their overall fitness programs.

Vital engagement in the educational and civic life of the larger community is a hallmark of the Minnesota Humanities Commission's Learning in Retirement Network organizations. Increasingly, LIRN members are working with their local K-12 and post-secondary institutions in developing ongoing humanities-centered programs that engage participants in serious consideration of pressing national and international issues. National Issues Forums (NIF) and Great Decisions are two intergenerational efforts organized and implemented by LIRN groups across the state. The Humanities Commission sponsors moderator trainings and provides other technical assistance for educators and LIRN members starting or sustaining NIF and Great Decisions in their communities. "MHC support helps us meet our goal of developing substantive intergenerational programs…through the use of the National Issues Forums (NIF) public policy discussions, we have been able to connect with middle and high school students and involve them in deliberative discussion and model for them our notion of successful, vital aging."

var sid = 454; var aid = 3; Senior dining escapes state cuts By Paul Maravelas Despite a 15 percent cut in state funding that took effect last July, senior dining and Meals on Wheels programs continue to provide regular service to those 60 years of age and older throughout Minnesota. The funding cut has been absorbed through increased contributions from clients, from local funding, and from cuts made in local program administrations. The nutrition programs are funded by the state and federal government, by the seniors who use them, and local contributors. Most of the funding is federal. For this reason, the state's 15 percent reduction didn't have much of an impact for Minnesota's senior nutrition programs. In McLeod County, the funding cut won't have a visible effect on senior dining or Meals on Wheels, though it's too early to tell if the cut will have a ripple effect, said Kate Selseth, director of the Mid-Minnesota Area Agency on Aging. Closure of under-used meal sites will probably be the first sign that the funding reduction is affecting services, Selseth says.

Research Finds Lack Of Minorities, Elderly In Cancer Studies The federal government has spent the last 10 years trying to get more women and minorities enrolled in cancer research studies so scientists can better understand how to treat cancer in different kinds of people. But a new study published in Wednesday's issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association found that women and minorities are still underrepresented in cancer studies. In fact, too few cancer patients of both genders and all races are enrolling in studies, and this shortage is slowing down the war on cancer. Too Few Women Take Aspirin to Protect Heart Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of American women, but women are far less likely than men to take a daily aspirin to protect their hearts, a new study shows.

Floor Statement of Senator Mark Dayton We Must Pass Prescription Drug Coverage Now February 28, 2001 Mr. President, I rise today to give my first speech on the senate floor, mindful of what a great privilege it is to stand here, and also what a tremendous opportunity it provides to be of service to others. I'm also mindful that I was elected last Fall for special reasons. I made some important promises to Minnesotans — promises that I intend to keep. Foremost among them was my promise to Minnesota senior citizens to help design and pass prescription medicine coverage that would be available to everyone receiving Medicare. Far too many times I saw the suffering and the fear which our elderly were experiencing. I saw it in their weary faces; in their eyes filled with tears; and in their trembling hands. The Absurdity of Busing Seniors to Canada For them, the promises of Social Security and Medicare were unraveling in their daily lives. The promise of retirement years with reliable economic security, free, at least, from financial uncertainties and emergencies. Instead, higher and higher prescription drug prices have destroyed their financial health, and ravaged their emotional well being. So last spring I began my Rx Express bus trips to Canada. Borrowing this idea from others, I took busloads of Minnesota senior citizens to Canada, where they could buy the same prescription medicines at far lower prices — often for even half the cost in the United States or less for the same medicines made by exactly the same manufacturers.

40. Self-Reliance, Options And Security For Minnesota Seniors of a special session of the 2003 minnesota Legislature, lawmakers cuts to many ofthe programs that have care and services delivered in senior citizens homes http://www.mnsos.com/leg_update.asp

In the final hours of a special session of the 2003 Minnesota Legislature, lawmakers agreed on numerous provisions of the Omnibus Health and Human Services Bill. Contained within the bill were many changes to the way the state supports older adult services, including cuts to many of the programs that have helped pay for nursing home care and services delivered in senior citizens' homes and communities. Older adult services were, in the end, among the most debated and discussed of the Legislature's efforts. Although the Legislature was successful in finding a way to avoid cutting rates for nursing homes, home health care providers and personal care attendants (Gov. Tim Pawlenty had originally proposed 4-percent cuts), other budget-balancing efforts resulted in reductions to some other important programs for seniors. A major change for people who are paying for their own nursing home care will be an additional fee of $5.56 per day. That money will support the state's general fund, and will not be available for use by the facility that collects it. Other adjustments to the way nursing homes are paid for the care they provide mean that there will be fewer financial resources available to maintain care levels. The healthcare workforce shortage is a continuing concern. The Legislature retained a scholarship program that has begun to ease that problem; a program that helps nursing home workers increase their education and work toward nursing degrees.
