Not long after Betty Roth first gripped a golf club, the game took hold of her.
That was some 66 years ago when she traded secretarial duties for golf lessons, and the game’s al-
lure has brought her back to the course time and again well into her 80s.
Roth, an active participant in the local golf community over the years, meets her regular group for a
weekly tee time at the Kaneohe Klipper Course, “and if somebody calls and says, ‘Hey, Aunty Betty we
need a fourth one,’ my golf clubs are in my car and I’ll just hop in and I’m on my way,” said Roth, who
turns 88 in November. “I play as often as I can.”
Her playing schedule includes the annual Hawaii State Womens Golf Association Senior Women’s
Championship, played this month at the Hawaii Prince Golf Club in Ewa Beach.
A love of the game keeps a dedicated group of golfers
in the swing of things
Y
‘I playas often as I can’
She was among a group of octogenari-
ans entered in the tournament playing
more for the fun of the sport rather
than shooting for a score.
Annette Kono, 85, won the event in
1985 and invoked one of golf’s axioms in
explaining her approach to the game.
“I don’t care what I shoot,” she said.
“Even if you hit a bad shot, one good
shot will bring you back.”
The golf association’s Senior Champi-
onship is open to women ages 50 and
over and drew 17 golfers ages 80-plus
last year. Roth and Kono were entered
in that flight, a gathering of golfers who
may have been introduced to golf in
various ways but now share a common
affinity for the sport.
“You get that feeling when you want
to go out and play all the time,” said
Elaine Lee, 89, who first teed it up in
1969.
Roth heeded a similar sensation
while working at Fort Shafter. When she
finished up at her regular job she
helped Walter Nagorski, now the
course’s namesake, with some of his of-
fice work.
“I used to answer his phone, I used to
do all of his orders for equipment in ex-
change for my golf lessons,” Roth said.
She moved to the Windward side in
1959 and has kept a weekly date with
the Kaneohe Klipper Women’s Golf As-
sociation since. As chairwoman of the
club’s Aloha Committee, she also en-
courages the wives of active-duty per-
sonnel stationed at the base to join
them on the course.
Her involvement in golf included a
term as vice president of the Hawaii
State Womens Golf Association and
she’s helped with the operation of the
University of Hawaii’s Dr. Donnis
Thompson Invitational, held annually at
the Klipper Course, for the last 27 years.
Golf has also been interwoven in
Kono’s life since she began playing in
the 1960s at the urging of a friend who
wanted to try it out.
Kono — no relation to current LPGA
Tour member Stephanie Kono —
worked as a starter at the Mililani,
Kalakaua and Leilehua golf courses and
her sons, Curtis and Wesley, also took
up the game. Curtis won the Manoa
Cup, the state amateur match play
championship, in 1987 and now chal-
lenges current contenders as course su-
perintendent at Oahu Country Club.
Lee is also entered in the golf associa-
tion tournament in addition to her regu-
lar twice-weekly rounds that provide
social and physical benefits.
“I guess that was my only hobby. I
didn’t care for sewing much, so golf was
the one thing that kept me going,” said
Lee, a member of the Fort Shafter
Ladies Club.
“It keeps me in shape, for one thing.
Otherwise yard work and housework
are not enough.”
Flo Miyasaki, 89, began playing when
she was 40 and still heads out three
times a week. She had just returned
home after a round of golf with her hus-
band at Barbers Point when she consid-
ered the factors — along with that one
good shot — that keep her coming
back.
“The camaraderie, that’s what makes
it fun, especially at our age now,”
Miyasaki said. “We’re really blessed, I
think.”

Can a simple sea protein hold the key to preserving your memory?Researchers have discovered a protein
from the depths of the ocean that actually protects our brain cells as we age.
Robert Pastore, Ph.D., a member of the New York Academy of Sciences explains, “As you age, you lose about 30,000 brain cells a day and that impacts every aspect of your life...how you think and how you feel.”
Recently, scientists made a signifi cant breakthrough locating a calcium-binding
protein (CaBP) called “apoaequorin” that can contribute to a healthier brain, sharper mind and clearer thinking.
Protects brain cells and memoriesAccording to Dr. Pastore, “CaBPs are vital
and found naturally throughout the body. They bind with excess calcium in our cells and keep it from rising to toxic levels.
At around age 40, these vital CaBPs start to decrease. This is known to lead to cell damage and even cell death. This may be one of the factors that results in loss of memory, forgetting names, etc.”
The jellyfi sh connectionApoaequorin is in the same family of
proteins as those found in humans, but it comes from one of nature’s simplest organisms — the jellyfi sh.
Recently, researchers formulated this vital protein into a product called Prevagen®. Available without a prescription, it’s the fi rst and only supplement that restores CaBP levels and protects brain cells.
Healthier Brain, Sharper Mind, Clearer ThinkingJust how well does Prevagen® work? In
a computer assessed, double-blinded, placebo controlled study, Prevagen® reduced the number of memory errors by a signifi cant amount.1
Try Prevagen® for yourself and feel the difference.

Healthy balance helpstop volunteer thrive
By Leila Fujimorilfujimori@staradvertiser.com
Good health and a positive attitude are just conse-
quences of volunteerism and regular exercise for
76-year-old Lillian Takeda, who has a passion for
what she does.
Takeda leads balance classes for seniors, crochets
baby caps for a hospital, feeds elderly patients and
walks nearly 10 hours a week.
She has logged 20,000 volunteer hours at Kuakini
Home, topping all other volunteers there, said
Suzette Lau Hee, who oversees the helpers.
“She’s very outgoing, very enthusiastic,” Lau Hee
said. “She’s all for the elderly. She has lots of energy.
She doesn’t really walk. She walks really fast.”
Young at heart?
“Definitely,” she said.
Upon retiring, Takeda began volunteering in 1995
at Kapiolani Medical Center for Women & Children,
where she crochets baby caps — her first love. In
1996, she attended an exercise class with her mother,
and after the instructor retired, took over leading a
class.
Takeda teaches, or as she prefers to say, leads two

balance classes, one at Kuakini Home
and another at the Moiliili Community
Center.
The classes help participants to get
“pumped up to do whatever you are do-
ing,” she said. “It goes both ways. You
have to be mentally happy to be there.
When I see them coming and they seem
to be enjoying and putting into the exer-
cises, I think we all feel happy.
“We begin with gentle stretching exer-
cises, just to wake the body up first,”
Takeda said. “Once the body is up and
at ’em, I say, ‘Good morning,’ and no-
body says anything. ‘I guess we’re all
sleeping yet.’ So we all have to get up.
So we tap our heads and stimulate the
brain a little bit.”
She incorporates tai chi deep breath-
ing methods and gentle head and neck
exercises.
The Moiliili class involves an entire
routine to stretch and tone muscles, in-
cluding the use of resistance bands, and
students even balance on one leg.
“They’re pretty good at it, too,” she
said. “We start from our shoulders,
right down to our ankles.”
At Kuakini, she has three women in
her class who are 101 years old.
“I have one who I just didn’t realize
was 101,” she said. “She started singing
‘Row, Row, Row Your Boat,’ so we all
joined in.”
“They all enjoy the class, so they tell
me,” she said. “It’s their effort, too.”
Takeda starts her day with a 20-
minute walk with her black Pomeran-
ian, Kona, and ends it with a mile walk
up a steep hill in her St. Louis Heights
neighborhood with her great-grandson
and another hour playing with him at
the park.
Takeda takes pleasure in the entire
experience, especially socializing with
neighbors she meets along her route.
“As you get older, you need that so-
cial contact,” she said. “If you’re a loner
and all by yourself, I think you need that
outside social contact.”
TAKEDA worked 17 years for the
state as an educational assistant at the
elementary school level. But her 12
years as a counselor’s helper, dealing
with a variety of people while making
arrangements with them as guests for
career days, helped her develop confi-
dence as a good communicator.
The 76-year-old has been married 56
years to husband Fred.
They live happily in a multi-level,
multi-generational home. Her daughter
lives downstairs with Takeda’s great-
grandson, she lives in the middle sec-
tion and her older grandson lives
upstairs.
“We have the whole family living here,
but we all have our own spaces,” she
said. “We can ask each other for things,
and help each other, but we still have
our own living space.”
That allows for everyone to “go home
and fume” if there are any differences.
The house was her parents’ home,
where she tended to her father, who
was stricken with muscular dystrophy.
“I learned a lot of patience from my fa-
ther,” she said. “I had to feed him. Some-
times it took one hour.”
That patience, she said, helps in her
volunteer work at Kuakini where she
feeds elderly patients who cannot feed
themselves.
“I enjoy it,” she said. “I think to my-
self, I’m so fortunate I’m not on the re-
ceiving end.”
From her mother, she learned that
“life itself is your attitude,” she said. “If
you don’t have a positive outlook,
you’re always going to be unhappy.”
“My mother said, ‘Don’t look up at
what you don’t have.’ If you look at the
people below you, who don’t have a
place to sleep or who have to choose
between medication and eating, you’re
fortunate.”

Tony Delpiano, 93, officially retired from his career as a general manager with Outrigger Hotels & Resorts
about 25 years ago.
But the charming senior with a ready grin and sharp wit still spends every Friday morning voluntarily working
the floor of the Outrigger Waikiki because his mentor Roy Kelly, the founder of the Outrigger hotel chain, told
him to keep guests happy.
“Roy Kelly put me here and I listened to him,” Delpiano said from the koa-wood bench where he has carved
out his own space in the hotel’s entry. “I talk to people. I ask them if they are having a good time and if there is

Tony Delpiano can usually be found at this bench at the Outrigger Waikiki making sure guests are taken care of, even though he retired almost 25 years ago. The for-mer general manager of the Prince Kuhio hotel worked his way up the ranks at Outrigger Hotels & Resorts. He’s shown with Chuck Kelly, grandson of Roy Kelly,Delpiano’s former boss.

anything that I can do for them.”
Growing up in Bristol, R.I., the child of Italian immi-
grants, Delpiano never envisioned spending a lifetime
built around a Hawaii hotel career.
“As a kid, I didn’t even know what a hotel looked
like,” he said.
Delpiano, who was one of seven surviving children,
said that his family struggled to make ends meet.
“I got off at the ninth grade and went to work at a
jewelry factory. We were too poor for me to stay in
school,” he said.
But the course of Delpiano’s life was changed by
war and by love. Three days after the Japa nese
bombed Pearl Harbor, he enlisted in the Navy and was
sent to the Mediterranean, where he served on the
destroyer USS Niblack (DD-424).
After the war ended, Delpiano got a job as a bellhop
at the Boca Raton Hotel, the property that launched
his hospitality career.
“I was the only one they hired because the uniform
fit,” he said. “If I had been taller or shorter, I wouldn’t
have gotten that job.”
While working at the hotel, Delpiano met the former
Barbara Dorsam of Manoa. The couple, who were wed
in 1954, have been married 58 years, but Delpiano still
refers to his longtime bride as “this lovely one.”
“I had just been to Europe and I was too broke to get
home, so I was working in a dress shop at the same
hotel,” said Barbara Delpiano.
The couple, who worked across the hall from
each other at the Boca Raton Hotel, quickly embarked
on the romance that would bring Delpiano to
Hawaii.
“Everybody was talking about Tony,” Barbara Delpi-
ano said. “I couldn’t wait to meet him, and when I did I
saw how handsome he was.”
After the two were married, they lived in Florida,
where they had their first two of three children. Even-
tually, they moved to Hawaii where Delpiano started
his career with Outrigger as a cashier at the Edgewa-
ter Hotel. However, he quickly moved up, going from
the Outrigger Reef to the Outrigger Waikiki, the Outrig-
ger East and finally the Prince Kuhio, where he retired
as general manager.
“I worked seven days a week when I first started,”
Delpiano said.
Kelly and his wife, Estelle, who built the chain along-
side her husband, set the bar high, he said.
“He didn’t like computers so we did everything by
hand,” Delpiano said. “He didn’t have any neighbor is-
land hotels because he didn’t want to own any that he
couldn’t walk through. His managers didn’t sit behind
a desk; we were always working the floor.”
While Outrigger employees worked hard, the Kellys
were generous, he said. “One day I came to work and
asked to borrow $7,500 from Mr. Kelly so that I could
buy a piece of property,” Delpiano said.
Kelly pondered Delpiano’s request over lunch and
returned with a check.
Delpiano said, “He told me, ‘I guess Christmas came
early.’”
Now Delpiano’s weekly visits to the Outrigger
Waikiki are a nod to Kelly’s generosity and to his insis-
tence that employees provide personalized service.
“I remember asking him one time why we didn’t get
a beautiful mailbox like the Moana,” Delpiano said.
“He told me, ‘The mailbox stays under the desk. I want
them to ask you where the mailbox is so you can get
to know the guests.’”
Delpiano said he learned much about what guests
wanted and shared those findings with Kelly.
Delpiano still shares insights with Outrigger Waikiki
General Manager Robert McConnell and Chuck Kelly,
Kelly’s grandson.
“He’s still a wonderful ambassador for the com-
pany,” McConnell said. “A lot of our returnees have
come to know him by name, and they look forward to
coming back and catching up.”
Current employees, like Stan Daguay, who has
worked for Outrigger for 45 years and once worked for
Delpiano, also appreciate his weekly visits.
“He remembers names that I don’t even remember,”
said the 70-year-old Daguay. “He still acts like he did
when he was working. He’s amazing.”
“I was the only onethey hired because theuniform fit. If I hadbeen taller or shorter,I wouldn’t have gottenthat job.”

Sylvia Mitchell has worked in the Hawaii public library systemsince 1976, and managed the Liliha branch since 1992.
CINDY ELLEN RUSSELL/ CRUSSELL@STARADVERTISER.COM
T
By Nancy Arcaynanarcayna@staradvertiser.com
ALTHOUGH librarians use the lat-
est information technology for
research, to classify reference
materials and help students obtain infor-
mation, Sylvia Mitchell regularly gets
asked, “Now that we have Google, why
do we need a library?”
The librarian makes it her mission to
show them the library’s value.
“Newspapers and libraries have a lot
in common,” Mitchell said. “They are
economical, practical and both share an
important purpose of keeping citizens
informed. Libraries need more publicity
so people know what we are doing.”
Mitchell began working in the library
system in 1976. She started at the circu-
lation desk and progressed to a chil-
dren’s and young-adult librarian before
becoming a branch manager at the Lil-
iha Public Library, a position she’s held
since 1992. She’s proud of the library de-
signed by Stephen Oya kawa, who stud-
ied under Frank Lloyd Wright. The
building incorporates skylights, rounded
corners and generous amounts of open
space and rooftop parking to retain as
much green space around the property
as possible.
Retirement isn’t in sight for the
80-year-old.
“There’s so much more to do,” she
said. “If you stay home it’s boring. At
work there’s always something to do.”
When she does retire, her dream is to
establish a library in the Makiki area.
“It’s always good to have a dream. It
keeps your mind active.
“Libraries were built to support
schools and are normally within walking
distance. This neighborhood is lacking a
library.”
Growing up in a rural area of Pennsyl-
vania, Mitchell suffered from asthma
and couldn't participate in many physi-
cal activities, one of the reasons she was
drawn to books. “I read lots … espe-
cially Victorian romance novels, be-
cause that’s what was available in our
home. We lived in the woods.”
She moved to Hono lulu in 1961. Before
attending library school, including the
Librarian in a Pluralistic Society: Cross-
Cultural Training for Social Action pro-
gram, she became a teacher and taught
at the State Hospital, worked as a substi-
tute at local high schools and also
taught English as a second language.
“I’m lucky. I love my job,” Mitchell
said. “I love helping people, especially
the kids. Something positive is happen-
ing every day. I meet interesting people
all the time.”
Among her favorite books is “The
Stars,” by H.A. Rey, author of the “Curi-
ous George” books. “The Stars” contains
star charts, a guide to the constellations
and details about seasons. Another fa-
vorite book is on handwriting analysis.
“It’s interesting,” she said. “You can tell a
lot about a person’s personality by look-
ing at their handwriting. My T’s are al-
ways too tall, which means I’m proud.”
She also enjoys looking at an atlas.
“I’ve traveled to Germany, England, Scot-
land and France, but New Zealand is my
favorite. I’ve been there twice. I love to
show kids, and adults, how Hawaii com-
pares to other places.”
Mitchell is thankful for her good
health, which she attributes to good
habits such as drinking lots of water, lis-
tening to classical music to relieve
stress and learning to meditate.
“I’ve slowed down but I haven’t lost
my marbles.”
Part of it may be hereditary, she ex-
plained. “My father lived to be 100.”
She does deal with diabetes, causing
her to watch what she eats, but says
physical movement helps her to stay
young and maintain vitality. She
stretches every morning before she gets
out of bed. “I need to get the blood circu-
lating.”
Librarian passionate about books, lifeAn 80-year-old library managerhas no plans to retire yet, for“there’s so much more to do”
I’m lucky. I love my job. I lovehelping people, especially thekids. Something positive ishappening every day. I meetinteresting people all thetime.”

A growing number of people are finding themselves
in the role of being a primary caregiver to older par-
ents, partners or friends. For some the caregiving de-
mands may last for a few days, several weeks or even
for years. Like taking on any new role, shifting into the
caregiver job can be difficult and stressful in ways that
are difficult to anticipate. Along with the stresses in-
herent in these new life complications, primary care-
givers can find their own health becoming
compromised.
QUESTION: What types of lifestyle factors can change
in the life of a new caregiver?
ANSWER: Along with the increased psychological
stress caused by a new set of uncertainties, it is com-
mon for caregivers to get significantly less good-qual-
ity sleep for many reasons. This, of course, can lead to
ongoing fatigue, making it challenging to maintain
good nutrition and exercise habits. Consequently, a vi-
cious cycle can develop in which declining health
makes it more challenging to do what is needed to
maintain health.
Frequently, caregivers need to change their usual
sleep patterns. This is especially the case when caring
for an older individual who falls into a condition called
sundown syndrome (also known as sundowning or
sunsetting). This syndrome gets its name from the ten-
dency of an older person to become anxious, con-
fused, agitated and even very scared after the sun goes
down. Sundowners can be up much of the night and
sleep only in short bouts. This, of course, keeps the
caregivers from getting an adequate amount of good,
quality sleep as well.
QUESTION: What are the potential health risks of
caregiving?
ANSWER: Research indicates that caregivers are at
high risk of developing depression, possibly due to the
loss of personal time and the challenges inherent in
juggling family and work along with caregiving respon-
sibilities. It also is now known that chronic sleep depri-
vation can trigger many health problems such as
fibromyalgia (characterized by joint pains and muscle
tenderness), hypertension, silent strokes, cancer, dia-
betes and impaired immune function.
Possibly more bothersome on a daily basis is the de-
creased ability to concentrate, to make decisions, to
learn, to drive safely or even form new memories. All
of these brain functions put caregivers and those that
they are caring for at risk.
Another behavior that is changed is food prefer-
ences. Studies have shown that lack of sleep increases
the desire to eat, even when a person has had ade-
quate calories. This may explain the weight gain com-
monly seen in caregivers. Other research shows that
even in healthy people, restricted sleep leads to in-
creased food consumption and an increased desire for
sweet and salty foods.
QUESTION: What can a person do to prevent the po-
tentially negative ramifications of caregiving?
ANSWER: Take advantage of community resources. A
good starting place is the University of Hawaii Center
on Aging (www.hawaii.edu/aging). Programs for the
elderly are increasingly becoming aware of the need to
support caregiver needs. If you are (or may become) a
caregiver, explore these resources before you need
them so you know where to go when you need help.
Plan ahead with other family members to answer the
“what-if questions” before decisions are needed. Fore-
knowledge of potential challenges that may be encoun-
tered along with an awareness of community and
family resources can help to make the caregiving role
the positive experience that it ideally can be.

“Options such as home equity loans or lines of credit thatseniors might have used in the past to supplement theirfinances may no longer be a viable option these days,” saysPercy Ihara, Branch Manager for Senior Lending Hawaii, alocal reverse mortgage lender. “Even when these types ofloans were easier to obtain, the borrower still had to makemonthly payments and this can be difficult on a fixed income,no matter what the economic environment.”
Fortunately, there’s a growing need for one option that couldmake sense for homeowners 62 or older and who have equityin their home: a reverse mortgage. “For most people, homesare their number one asset,” explained Ihara, “However, theequity that’s been building for years doesn’t provide a readysource of funds to pay for things like living expenses andhealth care costs or keeping up with the house repairs. Areverse mortgage allows people the ability to use their equityto fulfill a variety of needs, tax free.” Also important duringrecession times: A reverse mortgage does not require incomeor credit approval, and there are no monthly payments—theloan is not repaid until the last surviving borrower permanentlyleaves or sells the home.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that a reversemortgage is free. There are closing costs; interestaccrues on the loan that can be paid at any timeor when it becomes due; and the principalamount is also repaid at that time. And, other feesand costs may apply. If borrowers are worriedabout the accrued interest, any mortgagepayment may be made at any time and themortgage interest is deductible like any othermortgage. Best of all, borrowers continue to ownand live in their homes—with greater financialflexibility. “Reverse mortgages have allowed may seniors tolive a better, more comfortable life,” said Ihara.
Consumers now have a new great option in the“Saver” reverse mortgage program which was developed in2010 to address consumer needs with substantially reducedclosing costs. The “Saver” program offers a fixed interest rate
and a line of credit that offers more financial flexibility andsecurity for future needs.
This continued depressed economic climate will continueto place huge burdens on our senior population and thereverse mortgage has been a wonderful option for many ofmy clients, says Ihara. According to a national survey in 2007they reflected that 93% of seniors surveyed were satisfiedwith their reverse mortgage and 73% were very satisfied. “Ialways recommend sitting down with a reverse mortgageprofessional and look at all the options of a reverse mortgage”according to Ihara.
The key to getting the most out of this important financialtool is to get all the facts to make an educated decision. And,you want to do business with a knowledgeable, reputable andexperienced mortgage professional.

END PAIN NOW...Natural ly!
Introducing a Revolutionary New Therapy to Eliminate Arthritis and Back Pain
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy has been FDA approved for bone growth stimulation since 1979. After this approval, several highly-respected, double-blind university studies have demonstrated success using PEMF therapy for suppressing inflammatory responses, and alleviating pain, soft-tissue wounds, fractures, and more.
PEMF is unique in that the magnetic fields reach all of your 75 trillion cells, healing deep in the tissues where pain creams and heating pads can't reach. This unique action actually helps joints and bones to better re-form in order to significantly slow or reverse the progression of arthritis.
PEMF is painless, non-invasive, and an all-natural pain relief alternative to potentially harmful drugs and surgeries. It is effective in addressing arthritis pain, back pain, neuropathy, headaches, sports injuries, and more.

PATIENT TESTIMONIALS
In November 2011, cardiac surgeon and popular television host Dr. Mehmet Oz announced to millions of viewers of his The Dr. Oz Show that “today we are changing the practice of medicine,” and cited Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy as “a revolutionary cure for pain.”
As loyal viewers of the nationally syndicated show know, Dr. Oz is a tireless advocate for individuals taking control of their own health – sometimes through unconventional means not widely accepted (yet) by the general medical community.
“I’m more excited about this show than any other we have ever done this season,” declared Dr. Oz during the show’s opening. “Are we finally on the brink of a whole new frontier to reduce, and even eliminate, your pain?” Dr. Oz asked his audience.
Through the course of the show, Dr. Oz interviewed medical experts who routinely incorporate pulsed electromagnetic therapy in treating their patients. The show featured James Dillard, MD, a world-class pain specialist, and William Pawluk, MD, an expert on
clinical applications of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy. Among the show’s guests was a police officer who had experienced chronic back pain for over 10 years, debilitating to the point where he could not
adequately perform his high-stress job. The officer reported after only six to eight weeks of regular pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, his chronic back pain had completely disappeared.
Dr. Oz was excited about this “new frontier” in pain management, and implored his audience to present PEMF as a viable option in alleviating pain to their personal physicians.
Segments of the show and related information are available at www.doctoroz.com.

“Dr. Char’s therapies have significantly reduced the pain in my left wrist and both hands.”
Since my rheumatoid arthritis (RA) attack in 2003 plus severe osteoarthritis (OA) in my left wrist for the past 20 years – I have suffered constant pain with major flare ups with my two hands. I was severely challenged doing daily chores or any activities with my hands. Dr Char’s treatments have provided great positive results, improving my quality of life.
Now I can move on enjoy all my activities, travel overseas, cruise anywhere in the world, go deep blue ocean or shoreline fishing, plus restart my pastime/hobby doing shop work.

“I can hike, swim, and dance again!”
In 1998, my life changed drastically when I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and began experiencing severe pain. I saw Dr. Char on Olelo TV and found out about his Holistic Wellness Center.

AUSTIN, TEXAS >> Last summer, I planned a road trip with my mom, who was 74 at the time.
We’d drive from her home in South Haven, Mich., north to St. Ignace. We’d stay a couple of nights
there, taking a ferry to Mackinac Island, where I worked one summer when I was a college student.
Then we’d trickle back south, pausing for a night in Traverse City.
We could handle small towns and wide-open spaces, I thought, better than bustling cities.
I learned something, though. While that trip had its fabulous moments — my mom checking her
walker at the door and the two of us laughing our way through a House of Mirrors, for one — it turned
out that, for us, big-city travel was in many ways easier than small-town exploration.
First, some background. My mom has leukemia and battles fatigue. Me? I can barely sit still for 15
minutes. The combination makes for an interesting travel challenge. But during the past two decades,
we’ve logged jaunts to Ireland, Germany, England and France, and we didn’t want to stop.
Our trip wasn’t without hiccups. After a lively day on Mackinac Island, Mom woke up the next
morning exhausted. We piled into the car for the two-hour drive to Traverse City, where she didn’t
Triptips
Factor in mobility andfatigue issues and keep

with an elderly person

have much energy left. We visited a few
shops downtown and then retreated to
our hotel room. The next morning, we
headed back home. I think she snored
the whole way.
I took a different tack this year, when I
decided a long weekend in the Windy
City might work better. And it did.
My aunt delivered my mom right to
the hotel I booked inside the Loop, the
hub of activity in downtown Chicago.
The historic old Palmer House is within
a block’s walk of some wonderful ethnic
restaurants and has a huge, lively lobby,
where we could kick back with drinks
and engage in some fabulous people
watching.
Best of all, the hotel is just down the
street from the Art Institute of Chicago,
where we checked out a free wheelchair
so Mom didn’t have to walk with her
cane miles through the museum. And
when she needed to rest back at the ho-
tel, I could go for a run along the
lakeshore or zip into nearby shops.
The biggest lesson I’ve learned about
traveling with an elderly person? Scale
back and slow down. Plan rest time.
Don’t overstuff your schedule. Be realis-
tic about how much walking and explor-
ing your companion can do.
I checked with some experts to get
their tips, too.
Faith Unger, project coordinator for
CaregiverU, an education program at
the nonprofit AGE of Central Texas, re-
cently traveled to Denver with her eld-
erly husband, who has a cognitive
disability.
“I have three adult children, and they
love us to visit. I don’t want to stop that,
but at the same time I want to make
sure it’s manageable,” Unger says.
Among her suggestions? Whatever
the destination, research the resources
available there, such as respite centers
and in-home health care.
Your loved one will be a happier trav-
eler if you keep her schedule similar to
what she is used to, especially if she has
cognitive issues.
“Many of us who are healthy mentally
like the spirit of adventure, a wide-open
agenda. That’s entirely wrong for some-
one with a cognitive disability,” Unger
says. “They like things very structured,
very concrete.
If you’re visiting a place where you
have friends or family, try to arrange for
a morning or afternoon where your
loved one can stay in and you can take
off with some spontaneity.
Communicate your needs clearly.
While going through security screening
at the airport, Unger alerted employees
that her husband had a cognitive dis-
ability and the process might make him
anxious. The screener took steps to
make sure he was more comfortable.
The planning paid off for Unger, who
rated her trip a success.
Tam Cummings, an Austin gerontolo-
gist, offered a few more tips.
First, check with your loved one’s
doctor to make sure he thinks a trip is a
good idea.
When choosing a destination, think
about mobility. “Do you have an 80-
year-old grandma who can trek across
the Himalayas or someone who needs a
wheelchair at the airport to make the
transfer to the next plane?” Cummings
says.
Finally, be flexible. Your traditional
yearly trip may now be too overwhelm-
ing. “Mom loved Broadway, so now in-
stead of New York City, maybe you go to
Austin to see a play,” Cummings says.
