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 […]

Commentary: Illinois Family Institute continues campaign of ignorance on pot legalization

Kathy Valente from the Illinois Family Institute has yet again continued the organization's ignorance campaign on a pending Cook County resolution to legalize marijuana in the county. In a Letter To The Editor that Valente submitted to all media outlets on February 1 entitled "Avoiding a Dangerous Pot Hole", she and the Institute continues to prove how ignorant they truly are. With absolutely no regard for solid facts or evidence from other states, lawmakers are set to legalize and tax […]

And One More Thing…Demand for Teachers in Illinois

And one more thing… In my last show I was talking about job opportunities in the state of Illinois for those who wanted to be an educator at any level. As I mentioned, the state is making it more and more difficult for those who want to teach in the state due to high requirements to earn a state education licensure. Issues such as the high requirements for practicum hours, not having a degree in four years, and extra assessments […]

Commentary: What’s missing from the State of the State equation in Illinois?

By now, everyone knows what Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner said in his State of the State address. We know what has been said by House and Senate Republicans. We know what has been said by House and Senate Democrats. Even with all of this information for the voters of Illinois to comprehend and understand, what's missing here? Illinois enters its bicentennial year reflecting on what was born, built and grown in Illinois: Illinois was the first to ratify the Thirteenth […]
