It is hard to think about winter when we just

started summer holidays but, as we need to do our

write up for Coming of Age a couple of months ahead

of publication date, and “preparing for winter” is the

theme, here we are! Writer Tom Allen said: “Winter

forms our character and brings out our best.” Perhaps

we can look at growing older in the same way.

If we think of aging as the passing of the

seasons, it makes sense that we view older adults in

the winter of their lives. In the past, people avoided

talking about the winter stage of our lives as they saw

only short days and being cold and lonely. But think-

ing has changed. Many of us love the winter! We look

forward to the crisp winter days, sunshine on the

snow and hoarfrost gowning the landscape with a

beautiful cover. We love walking in the snow (wearing

our spikes of course) and cross-country skiing or curl-

ing games! We relish the time spent beside our families

and friends in cozy living rooms and events like

Christmas and New Year. At the Saskatoon Council

on Aging we promote growing older and entering the

winter season as something to anticipate positively.

Like other life stages, aging can be full of different

things to appreciate and savor. Preparing for winter in

all its practical elements can be a symbolic message for

preparing for aging. We think about retirement plan-

ning and learning to manage potential health changes.

Message

Shan Landry Jeananne Klein

The SCOA is a non-profit organization dedicated to

promoting the dignity, health and independence of older

adults through programs, services, education and

advocacy.

Coming of Age Published three times per year by the Saskatoon Council on

Aging, Inc. Visit us online at www.scoa.ca

We anticipate new living arrangements and grandchil-

dren and great grandchildren in our lives. We see our-

selves as wiser and perhaps more settled in who we are

and what we desire in life and relationships. We believe

that older adults can thrive in the winter!

How to thrive along with SCOA? These events and

programs are on our agenda for winter 2018/19:

SCOA Globe walk between January and April

Saskatoon Zoomer Idol in October

Hub Clubs and Century club events

Opportunities to add our voices to service plan-

ning in the city and health authority.

And many more [See pages 6 & 7] or visit our

website scoa.ca for more information

We encourage you to become a SCOA member

to ensure the financial stability of our organization and

to gain membership benefits like registration reduc-

tions for courses and access to some of our partners

programs and services. Best of all by becoming mem-

bers you receive a sense of contribution that you are

assisting us to further the goals of positive aging for all

in an age friendly community.

We started with a quote and to conclude is one

from Anamika Mishra: “Winter is not a season it is a

celebration”. Let us celebrate aging in all its glory and

challenges. Together we can enjoy the weather!

Does age matter if you are making great music? If you play in a symphony

you may be able to play forever! But older musicians might well face ageism in per-

forming venues where prevailing attitudes reflect stereotypes of aging: We don’t want

to look on stage and see grandfatherly (grandmotherly?) types entertaining!

Ageism, or discrimination on the basis of age, may be blatant and overt, or subtle

and implied, equally damaging and discouraging. Stereotypes and myths flourish in

the performing arts as in other fields – here’s one: If you did not begin to play a musical

instrument as a child you missed your chance. Not so. Many people start playing or take up

music again later in life. The Saskatoon Community Bands offer several band levels

for adults including a Beginner Band that welcomes aspiring musicians “with no previous experience playing a

band instrument” and according to Peter England, Program Director, many newcomers are older adults.

Studies show that the benefits of the performing arts for older adults are huge. England says, “Outside the

joy that comes of making music, many of our members will tell you of the benefit to cognitive ability and physical

dexterity gained by playing a musical instrument.” Singing in a choir increases social engagement, psychological

health and self-esteem. Dance classes improve cognition, posture and balance. Visual art sessions increase self-

awareness and belonging. Performing with others is also a great way to make friends, have fun, remain competi-

tive, dispel negative stereotypes – and stay active.

On October 25, when the Saskatoon Council on Aging (SCOA) presents the Best of Zoomer Idol, this

showcase for older adult musical and artistic talent will feature performances of eight past Zoomer Idol winners

who continue to entertain and inspire other older artists. To all performers: “Break a leg!”

This year the SCOA Globe Walk celebrated the Winter Olympic/Paralympic games by issuing the Globe

Walk Challenge - “Going for Gold”. Participants could earn Gold, Silver or Bronze Globe Walk medals

based on the number of miles they earned over the season, with Gold being 200+ miles. Globe Walkers

rose to the challenge. They earned more that 3600 medals, which was impressive. Even more impressive –

they collectively logged more than a HALF-MILLION MILES!

Our events allowed us to try new activities. We curled indoors, we practiced drumming as a fitness option

and we tried a circuit of functional fitness stations. We heard from a nutritionist and recreation experts.

We ate!

Finally, we celebrated our accomplishments at our annual windup luncheon where our Olympic

Ambassador Colette Bourgonje, and Mayor Charlie Clark addressed us.

It will be hard to top this year – but we say that every year. We haven’t picked the theme for 2019 yet – but

we have set our first goal – to break the two million mile mark. Over five years, Globe walkers have

logged about 1,854,000 miles, which leaves us 146,000 miles to go – We can do that by February!

Watch for updates at the Globe Walk website at: https://scoaglobewalk.net/

We thank our Ambassadors, our sponsors, our partners, and our volunteers. Most of all we thank our fan-

tastic Team Captains and every Globe Walk participant who put in their miles.

Q: DO YOU NEED A WILL? Part 2

A: If a person dies without a Will in Saskatchewan, all property of that person is distributed under The Intestate

Succession Act,1996 . This was discussed in the last issue of Coming of Age. Is there anything wrong with this? In

many instances, the answer is nothing. However, you do not have any control over whom your beneficiaries will

be. The Intestate Succession Act spells out who will inherit. Partners with whom the deceased has lived for less

than two years, step-children, step-grandchildren will not take under the current legislation (some changes are

being considered).

If you leave a spouse and children, your spouse may not have control over all your estate assets

because the Public Guardian and Trustee will look after assets of a child under 18. If a child is over 18, s/he

takes a share of your estate. This may mean that a spouse is left in position of needing social assistance that

might not be the case if the spouse had inherited the entire estate. Alternatively, a necessitous spouse could go

to court to get the entire estate away from children.

A death without a will can result in lack of discretion about who will look after your estate. Strict rules

dictate who can apply to Court to administer an estate. For example, if land is in the sole name of the deceased,

before that land can be sold or transferred, court appointment of an Administrator is required. This is called

getting Letters of Administration. There are rules setting out who can make that application. First choice is giv-

en to a spouse, then children and so on. The fact that you might have considered a child better able to handle

dealing with land rather than your spouse, is not considered, unless the spouse voluntarily gives up their

right to apply for Letter of Administration.

Not having a Will, means that those whom you wish to inherit your assets are not taken into

consideration. Not having a Will, means that those whom you want to administer your Estate are not taken into

consideration. Sometimes, this is not a concern. More often that not, it is.

Positive Aging for all in an age-friendly

Hey! Have you noticed that the long summer days have grown shorter and the evenings are cooler? Fall and

winter will soon be here again! Most of us who live in a northern climate will cope well with this change of

season, and some will even welcome it. However, with fewer hours of sunlight and colder weather , many people

find it hard to cope with our long winters. Some of us (15%) may develop a mild form of seasonal depression

(1), called the “winter blahs”. About 3% of us may develop a more serious health problem called seasonal affec-

tive disorder (SAD) (1), also known as the “winter blues” or “winter depression”. SAD usually starts in the fall,

continues through the winter, and gets better in the spring.

So , as winter approaches, what changes should we watch for in ourselves and others?

Symptoms of winter onset SAD include: fatigue..excessive sleeping..sad mood..over-eating..weight

gain..craving carbohydrates..social withdrawal..lack of motivation (2)

So, what can be done to manage the “winter blues”? Here are a few Self-Care Tips:

1. Get outside - Get off the couch, go outside and get moving , if possible. Use an exercise device at home or in

the gym. Join SCOA Globe Walk 2019. Exercise can lift your mood.

2. Enjoy some sun shine - Go for a morning walk. If this is not possible, sit by a window. Ask your family

doctor about using a light box or SAD light.

3. Stay active - Try not to hibernate in your home. Volunteer or join a local club (SCOA has two Neighbour-

hood Hub Clubs). It also helps to make a plan to stay active.

4. Socialize - Spend time with family and friends to help lift your spirits and prevent social isolation .

5. Eat and drink healthier - Limit your intake of sugary treats, caffeine and alcohol.

6. Talk therapy - Talk to a health care professional if you have tried a few of these tips and you continue to

have difficulties at home, at work or in your relationships. (2)

TIPS to Manage the Winter Blues or SAD By Sheila Clements

Ask a Nurse Practitioner By Heather Plaxton MN, RN(NP)

Q: What do Nurse Practitioners do? A: Nurse Practitioners (NP) are registered nurses with a Master’s degree that has prepared them for advanced practice. They write a national qualifying exam and are licensed by the Saskatchewan Registered Nursing Associa-tion. NP’s are able to assess patients, determine diagnoses, and prescribe medications based on their assessments. They are also able to order and interpret laboratory tests, x-rays and ultrasounds. NP’s are able to perform small procedures such as mole removals, and suturing of wounds and cuts.

Nurse practitioners enjoy working with communities to address health needs and work to improve both individuals and community health by education, health promotion and injury prevention. NP’s work in long term care facilities, community clinics, specialty areas such as Women’s health (Pelvic Pathway), Chronic Disease such as COPD, and diabetes and even as specialized as the neonatal unit. They play an important role in the Saskatche-wan Health Authority.

Nurse Practitioners work in clinics throughout Saskatchewan. In Saskatoon and Regina they work in com-munity clinics and specialty areas. You can access them by making appointments, just as you would your family physician, in the clinics that employ them. The specialty areas, such as Women’s Health, require referrals.

Every year the International Council on Active Ag-

ing comes up with a theme for Active Aging week.

This years’ Active Aging Week is September 23 to

29 and the theme is “Inspiring Wellness”.

Merriam-Webster dictionary defines Wellness as:

“The state of being in good health, especially

as an actively sought goal.”

As we head into fall, why not celebrate Ac-

tive Aging Week by seeking out your personal Well-

ness. We will all have our own version of wellness

as some of us have chronic conditions, health con-

cerns or ailments that may affect us. But we can all

strive to be the best versions of ourselves.

Thinking in terms of the Six Components

of Wellness – Social, Spiritual, Emotional, Intellec-

tual, Physical, and Environmental, it is beneficial

that we try to improve all of these components in

our lives.

Are there baby steps that you can take to

improve your health? Nothing radical that you

won’t continue with, but small attainable steps.

Inspiring Wellness By Kimberly Willison, Senior Recreation Therapist; Forever…in motion

Here are a few suggestions you can start on

this fall but please come up with your own too:

1. Increase your physical activity by one activity a

week (go for an additional walk during the week or

attend another Forever…in motion group)

2. Go to bed a ½ hour earlier every day – Sleep is

essential to maintain good health and wellness.

3. Reduce your portion size for one meal a day –

do you sometimes finish everything on your plate

(because your Mom always told you to), even if you’re

not still hungry? Try stopping at 80% full.

4. Try a new recreation/leisure activity each

month – there is so much out there to try, why not try

something new like Pickle ball, indoor soccer, a Forev-

er…in motion group you’ve never tried before.

5. Meditate – this doesn’t need to be complex or as

long as a yoga class, but can you calm your mind and

relax for 5 minutes every day?

6. Spend time with family and friends – having a

social network of family and friends can really help

with our emotional and social wellbeing.

7. Strain your brain – try a new cross-word puzzle,

hobby or learn a new word a day. We can grow our

brain at any age.

So what can you do to “Inspire Wellness” in your

life…and maybe drag a friend along for the ride???


The Canadian Snowbird Association (CSA) is a national not-for-profit

organization dedicated to defending and improving the rights and privileges of travel-

ling Canadians. It was founded in 1992 when over 1,000 Canadians came together to

support the basic right of Canadians to receive the same health treatment abroad as

Canadians receive at home. It has over 115,000 members and is governed by a volun-

teer Board of Directors representing every province and territory in Canada.

The main objective of the CSA is to advocate on behalf of the membership.

It is presently lobbying provincial governments to increase the time that Canadians

can spend away from their home province while retaining their health coverage. In 2015, the CSA worked suc-

cessfully with the Government of Saskatchewan to allow residents to be out of the province for seven months

(previously six months) and still retain their health coverage. In the United States, the CSA is working with

Members of Congress to increase the length of time that retired Canadians can stay in the US from six to eight

months.

The CSA also provides members with the most up-to-date information on cross-border rules and regu-

lations. At present, Canadians can only be in the US for six months in any twelve month period. Any Canadian

citizen who spends four or more months in the US per year has to file IRS Form 8840 to ensure they are not

taxed by the US government on their world wide income. When returning home, travellers should declare every-

thing they are bringing back with them. The CSA advises travellers to retain all receipts. Canadians can claim

goods up to $200 Canadian without paying duty or taxes for absences of 24-48 hours. After 48 hours, Canadi-

ans can claim goods worth up to $800 Canadian without paying duty or taxes.

Q: What is physical therapy? Do I need a referral? What should I expect when I see a physical

therapist?

A: Physical therapy (a.k.a. physiotherapy) is the treatment of disease, injury or disability by physical methods, in-

cluding (but not limited to) hands on treatment, education and exercise prescription. A physical therapist is a

university-trained health professional, and can work in a variety of settings. All physical therapists registered to

practice in Canada are qualified to provide safe and effective care by meeting national entry-level education and

practice standards. They must pass a standardized competence exam before being able to register with, in our

case, the Saskatchewan College of Physical Therapists.

A physical therapist can work with you to individualize your treatment plan to work towards your goals,

be it to decrease pain, improve function or achieve optimal wellness. They combine in-depth knowledge of the

body and its workings with a specialized set of hands-on clinical skills to assess, diagnose and treat.

As we age, a number of different things could require treatment by a physical therapist. This could in-

clude a specific injury, general aches and pains, reduced balance or dizziness. It could be before or after surgery

or perhaps to improve functional ability and independence. Physical therapy plays an important role in posture

and stability, falls prevention and chronic disease management. Maybe you are looking to improve your general

health, prevent injury or build strength through a new exercise program? A physical therapist can help.

At your first visit, you fill out a short questionnaire, and then the physical therapist will ask you a series

of questions to better understand your needs. This will be followed by a physical assessment to best determine

appropriate management. A typical course of care is anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks, attending 1 to 3 times per

week, but can range from a single visit up to a few months.

Physical therapy services provided in a hospital clinic or during hospital stay are paid for by your provin-

cial health plan. Health insurance providers cover either all or a portion of the cost of physiotherapy care at a

private clinic. While a referral is not necessary, some extended health insurance plans may require one for reim-

bursement. It’s best to check with your provider to confirm your level of coverage and to determine whether or

not you require a physician referral for reimbursement.
