Independence Starts at Home!

When we celebrate the 4th of july with family, friends, food and fireworks, it is a time to remember what it means to be free.

With many of our aging, recuperating or ill ‘ohana, independence means being able to receive quality care in the privacy and comfort of their own homes. Home healthcare is not just about doctors, nurses, aides and companions providing safe, quality care in the home; it’s about the right to remain independent as long as possible, even to the end of life.

Home is familiar. Home is comfortable. Home is where most of us want to be when ill. The ability to age and get well in the comfort of your own home surrounded by family and friends helps keep the spirit of independence alive.

Fourth of July is also about patriotism. Being patriotic is not just about pledging allegiance to the flag and believing in American values, it is about being proactive in our community, and making things better for the young and the old.

Nurses, home health aides and companions emulate patriotism by caring for their fellow citizens and providing quality health services rain or shine, most likely without glory or recognition. These caregivers give back by providing all our seniors access to quality home care.

Let’s commend all the caregivers who are committed to our ‘ohana and by supporting the value and dignity of home healthcare, we are protecting our most vulnerable citizens, our fellow Americans!

Two Days in the Summer

The Fourth of July is the cornerstone of summer. It is a date where families will get together; BBQ’s will occur; and fireworks will be watched. Memories of our youth will resurface, and stories of our nation’s birth will be told.

Independence Day being on Friday this year, will turn the weekend into a three-day break. In short, it will be celebrated as a holiday.

Nineteen days prior to Independence Day, on Sunday June 15, World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) will happen. No parades, however, will be marking this day, nor will picnics be planned around it. If you don’t read the paper that day or watch the news carefully, it will go unnoticed.

In 2006, WEAAD was created to bring awareness that elder abuse exist in our society. Judging from my experiences as supervisor of the Elder Abuse Unit at the Prosecutor’s Office, this goal has not been achieved. I get calls from victims and their families who are in shock that these crimes exist and they have fallen victims to them. Even within law enforcement, there is surprise at the rate these crimes occur and the ingenuity these criminals employ.

Part of our collective ignorance comes from the fact that these offenses are rarely reported to the police or covered by the media. This lack in reporting leads to the belief that these crimes do not occur that often, gives potential victims a false sense of security that this could never happen to them.

Another reason we don’t think about elder abuse is that, quite frankly, it’s depressing. Stories of elder abuse are reminders that this situation could be a possible future in our own lives. We don’t like to think that when we get older we might need assistance or become vulnerable. Just look at the small minority of us that have invested in long-term care insurance. We want to believe we are going to grow old — being healthy the entire time — and then, at the ripe age of 112, we will go to sleep and gently pass into the night. Events like WEAAD are not conducive to the “ignorance is bliss” mentality many of us share.

This observance day, however, does serve a purpose. Once a year, we might stumble upon a mentioning of this day and take a moment to think about our parents or grandparents and give them a call to see how they are doing. OR perhaps take another look at that piece of mail we got and question the sincerity of its claim that it has made us rich.

So, although WEAAD will most likely not become an event in the future where fireworks will be lit, it will for some remind us that although we won independence centuries ago, and we are not free from the crimes that target our seniors.

Get Ready to BBQ
Celebrate a patriotic Fourth of July with kidney-friendly food. Sometimes people think that the world of food might be ruined if a diagnosis of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is made or dialysis is required. Nothing could be further from the truth. Care is needed to follow your doctor’s advice and nutrition requirements; there are plenty of foods good for your health and tasty too.

As we celebrate Fourth of July, The National Kidney Foundation of Hawaii decided to offer a kidney-healthy recipe appropriate for CKD, Dialysis, and Diabetes patients — and the rest of us who just like good, healthy food.

BBQ PINEAPPLE CHICKEN

Ingredients:

4 – 5 oz. skinless chicken breast

20-oz. can pineapple rings

2 tsp. chopped garlic

1 tsp. Dijon mustard

1/2 top wasabi paste

Directions:

Remove pineapple rings from can, save the drained pineapple juice. Mix pineapple juice with garlic, mustard and wasabi paste. Dice chicken breasts into 2-inch cubes. Combine pineapple juice mixture and chicken together, marinate overnight in the refrigerator. Place the chicken pieces on skewers. Barbecue chicken on a hot grill until the chicken is golden brown and cooked in the center (5 to 10 minutes depending upon the temperature of your grill). Serve over 4 pineapple rings. Serves 4.

Voices of Aloha

Voices of Aloha, a multi-generational and cultural choir group, directed by Mark Yasuhara (center?)

Voices of Aloha, formerly The GleemenPlus of Honolulu, traces its origins back to 1916 when the Gleemen of Honolulu, the oldest male chorus west of the Rockies, was established. In 1996, while under the direction of Shigeru Hotoke, the group was opened to women and the name was changed to The GleemenPlus of Honolulu. In 2013, the name was finally changed to Voices of Aloha. Mark Yasuhara has directed the group since 2007.

Voices of Aloha is the quintessential community choir in that most are average singers representing a cross-section of the multi-generational, cultural, racial, and religious tapestry that is Hawai’i, singing songs the community loves. Their repertoire includes classical favorites as well as original arrangements by Mark Yasuhara of Broadway and popular tunes, patriotic anthems, and of course, the songs of the people of Hawai’i.

Yasuhara says choral singing is one of the best low-impact activities for seniors. Full-voiced singing incorporates deep, core breathing, good posture and physical coordination. Learning and performing the music challenges and focuses the mind and creates natural and easy social interaction. Unlike karaoke, choral singing encourages cooperation, support and blending with other singers. Voices of Aloha members say rehearsals are stimulating, invigorating, happy affairs, a highlight of their week.

The choir perform at civic and private functions, churches, retirement centers and nursing homes. Recently, they performed at the annual Senior Classic Games at Halawa Gym coordinated by Garrett Iwai for their 25th anniversary. The Games were created in 1989 by, then, recreational director, Herb Yasuhara, Mark’s uncle. Herb was recognized and Voices of Aloha opened the Games with a half-hour concert in his honor, concluding with the singing of “The Star Spangled Banner” and “Hawai’i Pono’i.”

All ages are welcome. The group primarily consists of seniors, including a few octogenarians. They welcome, without audition, anyone who enjoys choral singing. Since many are not music readers, rehearsal CD’s are provided and director Mark Yasuhara offers a music-reading seminar in July. Most everyone who joined as a non-music reader can, at least now, follow the notes.

Voices of Aloha meet every Tuesday at 7 pm in the Annex of the Community of Christ Church at 1666 Mott-Smith Dr. in Makiki, one block makai of Roosevelt High School, from September through May.

What Do You Say to a Centenarian?

Can you imagine being born a century ago? Life must have been simpler. But reaching this century-marker is certainly a privilege.

Well, at the Ko’olau Senior Hui there is always a monthly celebration of birthdays for their seniors. And in April of this year, the Ko’olau Senior Hui had a very special celebration with a special cake. It read, “Happy 100th Birthday Mildred Wong” as she celebrated her brithday at the Kaneohe Senior Center with family and friends.

Mildred, born and raised in Kaneohe, must have seen a lot. She witnessed the world and the evolution of governments, like the Statehood of the Hawaiian Islands. Watched technology progress in leaps and bounds: AM/FM, watching black & white TV, then color. Computers were only used in large companies. Now every person owns one, small and large. The thought of organic food probably wasn’t the same as it does today. To Mildred, it was her own backyard garden. You may still see her pulling weeds in her yard at home.

The point is that she’s taken care of herself and she continues to enjoy her life and her new status as a Centenarian. And there’s the secret.

So, what do you say to a centenarian? Simply, “Happy 100th Birthday, Mildred Wong!” And Generations Magazine wishes you many more to come.

If you know of any other centenarians, send us a photo and something about him/her. Contact Sherry Goya: 808-722-8487, SGoyaLLC@aol.com

The Greatest Generation

Refugees don’t flee FROM America, they come TO America. There is promise here. There is hope.

“The Greatest Generation.” That’s what Tom Brokaw called my parents and their peers, with good reason. They were asked to defend and support their country in whatever way they could.

My father was in the Navy, served as a medical corpsman in the Pacific. He didn’t talk much about that time in his life. Few in his generation do. But their patriotism is unquestioned. The world seems to be a more complex place now.

There will be disagreements among us about how best to solve America’s problem. But when we agree to disagree and move forward toward that goal — solving those problems, we remain patriots. Boomers may never be labeled the Greatest Generation. We have an obligation, though, to make certain we leave an honorable legacy for those who come after us. Did we serve our community, our country to the best of our ability? If we can say yes, then we can be counted as patriots.

It’s important to take your hat off when Old Glory passes by. But it’s also important to know, despite it’s problems, that flag represents the hopes and dreams — not just yours, but those of your children and millions of others around the world.

Patriotism can’t be measured in any kind of units. You can’t earn more “patriot” points than the last generation or your neighbor. You CAN remember that while we are all different — we are all Americans.

Better Support for Family Caregivers

Hawaii’s family caregivers are starting to get the support they need. These caregivers are among the 247,000 sons, daughters, husbands and wives who help loved ones stay independently at home for as long as possible — providing help with everyday tasks.

In mid-April nearly 500 Hawaii residents joined elder advocacy groups and resource providers in paying tribute to family caregivers at an event at the Japanese Cultural Center. The event was to recognize the extraordinary contributions they make, highlight helpful community resources and provide an update of recent legislative efforts to support caregivers and their families.

During the 2014 legislative session AARP supported a measure that would allow family caregivers be more involved in the patient healthcare process. Senate Bill 2264 (the CARE Act) was a Kupuna Caucus bill backed by many House and Senate legislators and community groups. It was intended to give caregivers the instruction needed to safely care for loved ones when they’re discharged from the hospital.

AARP believes caregivers should be informed and recognized for their role in coordinating the care of loved ones transitioning from hospitals to home. Research found that family caregivers are under pressure to provide increasingly complex medical tasks — like wound care, injections, and medication management — when loved ones return home from the hospital. Caregivers often receive little or no training to provide care and are often the only option available to families, who may not be able to afford professional home care.

How serious are the challenges facing Hawaii’s caregivers? The answer may be found in personal stories of caregivers like Keri Yamamoto, a caregiver and occupational therapist, whose uncle was admitted twice last year to a local hospital. She was “highly dissatisfied” with the discharge procedure. She testified in Support of SB 2264. On Maui, caregiver Michele Paularena, also supported the bill when her husband was discharged from the hospital without adequate instructions on how to administer the medications prescribed.

While SB 2264 did not survive this session, the House Finance Committee passed a concurrent resolution (HCR 78) that calls for the establishment of a family caregiving working group to examine and assess the role of caregivers in the hospital discharge process. AARP welcomes the opportunity to work with hospitals and community stakeholders to ensure caregivers are properly instructed in the care of loved ones at discharge.

Hawaii needs coordinated care putting patients and families first. As our population ages, it’s essential that family caregivers are supported and our community recognizes the limits of what they can do on their own.

Retiring Into Your Dream Job

Americans in general have strong work ethic, so a life of extended leisure doesn’t appeal to everyone. With the average U.S. life expectancy estimated at 80.1 years, there’s no reason why you can’t pursue meaningful work in retirement especially if your health is good and your mind is sharp. The desire for activity and income are other important reasons you may decide to return to the workforce and stay well beyond age 65.

Retirees today can consider a number of opportunities, such as turning special expertise into a consulting gig, taking a part-time job, starting a small business or volunteering for non-profit work. Let’s take a closer look.

Become a consultant. Many retired professionals turn their past into thriving consulting businesses, often providing services to their former employers.

Others blog about their fields of expertise. Speaking engagements, seminars and webinars are additional ways you can share your knowledge, which can bring income and provide you with the professional and in-tellectual stimulation your former work life provided.

Get a part-time job. If your former field offers part-time opportunities, you may be the lucky ones to land a less-than-full time job with betterthan- average compensation.

Some seniors go back to school to get another degree, training or certification that will qualify them for a challenging part-time job in a field of interest. Or, decide to take a low stress, entry-level job simply to remain active — bagging groceries, working a cash register or becoming a barista to stay busy while lining your pockets with a little extra cash.

Start your own small business. Merchandising and auction sites such as eBay and Etsy are where people turned their hobbies of collecting or crafting into thriving businesses.

In your former work life, you may not have had as much time to devote your hobby as you would have liked. Now you can pursue selling your collectibles or handmade treasures and enjoy the rewards of a small business.

Volunteer. Many retirees take advantage of their open calendars to ramp up volunteering for organizations they support.

While giving your services freely to your favorite nonprofit won’t pad your pocketbook, it can be extremely rewarding and meaningful. Whether you choose to help your favorite church, hospital, professional organization or animal shelter, volunteering your time can enrich your life and benefit your community in important ways.

It’s up to you to create a rewarding retirement.

If you choose to continue working for a paycheck, your financial advisor can help you examine how additional income will impact your overall retirement finances.

Remember, the point of a work commitment in retirement is not to replicate your former 40-plus hour workweek. Ideally, your retirement career is about staying active and engaged in ways that keep you young.

Whether or not you pursue a new line of work in retirement, be sure to leave room for activities and interactions that will make your golden years as rewarding as they can be.

Dancing with Life

Dancing at the Palladium, Honolulu

If you find your exercise regimen becoming boring and a chore, stop fighting it and switch to ballroom dancing!

AARP The Magazine, March 24, 2011 issue, reports that dancing is not only fun, but it’s therapeutic. Dance can, among other things, boost your cardiovascular health and bone strength as well as improve balance. Joe Verghese, professor of Neurology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, reported that “unlike many other physical activities, dancing involves significant mental effort and social interactions.” Frequent dancing, which involves both intellectual and social stimulation, was reported as the only physical activity shown to reduce the risk of getting dementia.

So while learning dance steps with a partner, brain health and general well-being is improved while having fun exercising, socializing, and forming new friendships.

Herbert and Shirley Ota, President of HBDA

Retired Computer Specialist, Herbert Ota is a living testimony benefiting from ballroom dancing. While vacationing on a cruise, Herbert collapsed when the cruise ship docked in Vienna, Austria. On October 25, 2013, Herbert was immediately taken to a hospital where emergency triple by-pass surgery was performed.

Three months later, Herbert was on the dance floor with his wife Shirley eagerly learning the romantic Bolero with directors Ben & Faith Agbayani of the Hawaii Ballroom Dance Association (HBDA), Hawai‘i’s oldest and largest dance organization founded by Eugene Ichinose.

Preparing for the Cabaret III performance, (left to right) Millie Chun, Allyson Doherty, Jack Cione, Shirley Ota

They religiously attend dance rehearsals five times a week with a team of eight couples from the Pearlridge Chapter. They showcased their dance number at the HBDA 55th Anniversary Ball on May 3, 2014 at The Palladium in Honolulu. This celebration was a gala affair, with different dance exhibition teams representing different chapters, each choreographed by HBDA’s own creative dance instructors. In addition, Herbert had also rehearsed and prepared for CABARET III, an HBDA fundraiser directed by Jack Cione. It was a new extravagant musical comedy production with a cast of 82 performers in lavished costumes from the HBDA, Arcadia and Craigside.

With all of Herbert’s scheduled dance rehearsals, he is recuperating well and gaining his strength back from his open-heart surgery. He is looking simply great, a testament to the wonders of dance therapy with the HBDA.

You are never too young or too old to learn to dance. If you would like to get in good shape, stay physically fit and mentally alert, while having fun and making new friends, contact any one of our HBDA chapters.

HBDA is “the place to learn to dance”. You are invited and more than welcome to come, and dance with us!
