The Healthy Geezer: Solutions for seniors with low vision

What kind of glasses should you get for low vision? Low vision is a significant reduction in visual function that can’t be corrected by regular glasses, contact lenses, medicine or surgery. Low vision can range from moderate impairment—such as tunnel vision or blind spots—to almost total blindness. One out of every 20 people has low vision. About 135 million people around the world suffer from this impairment. Irreversible vision loss is most common among people over age 65.  However, losing […]

McCALEB: What’s real as the primary election approaches

(Illinois News Network) -- Everyone who watches even just a bit of TV or who checks their mailboxes every now and then knows there's an election around the corner. The dubious campaign ads and colorful mailers with big scare headlines have been flooding both for weeks. I hope you're not paying attention to them. They're generally dishonest and tell you nothing real about why you should support one candidate over another. But with early voting well under way and the March […]

Mac’s Korner: Week of February 28, 2018

Here's another riddle: What can fly, but not stand still; devouring all while eating nil; what is wasted, never lent; never earned, but always spent? **** Years ago, a city fellow was driving through Nokomis when his Model A broke down. Luckily, it stopped in front of a house where an elderly man was sitting in a rocking chair on the porch. The driver walked up to the house and asked the man, "Would you happen to have a monkey […]

The Healthy Geezer: Why exercise and fitness are important as a senior

How important is exercise when you are a senior? Is it worth the risks of hurting yourself? All the current scientific evidence shows that geezers should exercise, even though many older people think it could harm them. Study after study demonstrates that seniors hurt their health a lot more by being sedentary. If you’re inactive, you deteriorate. Physical activity can help restore your capacity. Most older adults, regardless of age or condition, will benefit from increasing physical activity to a […]

Mac’s Korner: Week of February 21, 2018

Three out of four voices in my head want to sleep. The other wants to know if penguins have knees! **** A good laugh and a long nap are two best cures to anything. **** My Jeannie's cooking is so fabulous, even the smoke alarm cheers her on. **** Need a friend, text me. Need a laugh, call me. Need money? This number is no longer in service. **** My goal this weekend is to move just enough so that […]

COMMENTARY: Shelbyville city bond referendum just doesn’t make sense

I read a letter to the editor submitted to the Shelbyville Daily Union, which was published Monday, from Debe Wright, water and sewer commissioner for the City of Shelbyville, regarding an upcoming referendum up for a vote on Tuesday, Mar. 20. The proposed referendum poses the following question as whether or not the City of Shelbyville should issue nearly $5.8 million in alternate bonds to pay for sewer infrastructure repairs. Wright also attempts to plead the case that the infrastructure […]

TOSETTI: Get our acts together, start managing the present

Are you concerned? I am. This has nothing to do with politics, as I am a true independent and have been for a long time, knowing that there are good people on both sides. Lately there seems to be a lot of discussion on the State of Illinois and more particularly, rural America, the small towns in it, the counties and the townships, and the struggles most of them are facing. Having been in business 40-plus years with offices in […]

And One More Thing…Legalization of Drugs

And one more thing… This past Sunday I had Matthew C. Scaro, who is running for Illinois Governor under the Libertarian Party banner, on my show. Before I get into this, I’d like to thank Mr. Scaro for coming down and traveling four hours in a snowstorm to arrive come on my show. With that being said, the debate that followed was legendary. We debated on many issues for an hour and a half. One issue though that left a […]

The Healthy Geezer: What should I do about my difficulty with staying balanced?

I'm 79 and I've taken a couple of spills in the last few months. I'm concerned that I might not be as steady on my feet as I used to be. What should I do about this? About one in ten people over 65 experience difficulty with balance. More than 40 percent of Americans will go to a doctor complaining of dizziness. Getting older is only part of the problem. Inner-ear disturbances are the primary cause. Losing balance when you’re […]
