On a whim, he decided to check out the new outdoor ice rink at PuddleDock to see if he could bring his family (2 children and 4 grandchildren)there to skate. As Ed carefully maneuvered with his canes towards thefrozen venue, he was approached by an enthusiastic and friendly womanwho asked him if he would like to try out an adapted sled used for iceskating. “Is she talking to me?” he wondered, not quite understandingthe interaction. This was, as they say, an “Ah Ha” moment for Ed. Herecalls the conversation (with what turned out to be staff from NortheastPassage) as inspirational for him. In that moment, Ed felt a sense ofacceptance of his new reality as a person with a disability.Simultaneously with this reckoning came the promise of a world he hadyet to realize was there all along- a life beyond disability.

This chance encounter with Northeast Passage*, helped Ed realize hehad a decision to make. He was in a state of stuck, acknowledging that“Overcoming the inertia of inactivity and isolation was the hardest thingfor me.” Now seeing possibilities, he took the gamble to try and re-engage with favored activities. First, he tried the adaptive cyclingprogram. Feeling the wind in his face again, under his own power, Ednever looked back. With each step he took to try something new-archery, tai chi, kayaking- he felt his world expanding rather thancontracting. Today, you might find Ed blogging on the internet, flyingaround downtown Dover on his bike, or hanging out with friends in theActive Retirement Association.

We knew we were on to the right person when we checked out hisblog www.disabledexplorer.com . Hidden there, in plain sight, was histelling tag line, “Stories of Acceptance and Opportunities Around the NHSeacoast and Beyond”. Ed Perkins is a man in transition. He is thatrolling stone, shedding the moss that threatens to slow his momentum.His choice to keep moving is a conscious one, borne of circumstancesthat might have stalled any of us. He keeps on, because there is muchyet to explore. As Ed puts it, you can only do what you can do, so enjoyit.

Ed, you inspire us all, not with feats of greatness, but with exceptionalcourage to “just do it.”

During his career as a SupervisoryMathematical Statistician, he wasawarded the Department of Commerce Silver Medal which is the secondhighest honor award presented to an individual for noteworthy and/orsuperlative contributions which have a direct and lasting impact with thedepartment. Don and another colleague were recognized for developingpowerful, highly flexible computer editing programs for application to thehundreds of thousands of industrial statistical reports processed by theBureau each year.

Don, along with several other retired individuals, came together with avision -- to enhance the quality of life for people of retirement age in theSeacoast area. The Active Retirement Association is the result of thatvision. The founders recognized that individuals with diversebackgrounds bring special interests, knowledge and skills and contributeto a personally stimulating environment conducive to “learning to live”and “living to learn”. It was crucial to them that this be an organizationthat appealed to people who were seeking the excitement of theexperience and the satisfaction of personal development.

along this path.”

Wilder said 10,000 people turn 65 every day and that New Hampshirehas one of the oldest median ages among the states. She said by 2030,one in every three people will be 65 or older.

Inspiration Awards were given to three seniors who Wilder said exemplifytheir message of “refusing to sit on the couch, instead getting out andmaking life happen.”

Seacoast residents Marilyn Fuller, Donald Clark and Ed Perkins were thisyear’s recipients.

“I have disabilities but wanted to reengage in life,” Perkins said. “I amdoing this through adaptive sports. I bike using an adaptive bicycle. I gohiking, kayaking, and do archery and fly fishing. I try to stay as active aspossible.”

Perkins, a former journalist, writes a blog about his experiences andadventures in his quest to stay involved.

Participants came away with practical, accessible resources in areas suchas healthy eating, fall prevention and money management.

UNH College of Health and Human Services students provided healthassessments, presented research and taught skills for developing ormaintaining active living.

Alika Kallas and Kali Cook, both students of the athletic training programat UNH were showing seniors ways to do simple exercises designed tobuild strength and flexibility.

“We talk to them about how important it is to stay active and to havegood nutrition,” Cook said. “We show them what they can do, bythemselves, safely.”

Nursing student Kaylee Cass helped seniors compile lists of all theirmedications to bring to their doctors for a full picture no matter howmany specialists or primary care visits they have.

“We talk about herbal medications,” Cass said. “Many people do notknow that those can interact with their medications.”

Kailey Donovan, a senior in UNH dietary programs, was talking to guestsabout nutrition and the importance of eating well.

“We talk about processed foods,” Donovan said. “I say do not buyanything you can’t pronounce all the ingredients of. Look for things withless than five ingredients and you are eating healthier.”

Granite State Seniors Games offers 17 competitive sporting events for



seniors. Beside the usual offerings of basketball, archery, running,bowling, cycling and golf, seniors were eager to learn about “pickleball.”

“It is somewhere between tennis, badminton and table tennis,” said JimEddinger, state chairman for the New Hampshire Master Games. “It’seasier than tennis and seniors love it.”

He wasn’t kidding. Bernadette Stephens of Peterborough said she triedthe game last week and is hooked.

“I want to learn all about it,” Stephens said. “I want to buy equipmentand form a team. People who still want to do racket sports can learn todo this. You play closer, so it’s not as fast as tennis.”

There was also a film festival, with two films: Age of Champions andYoung@Heart.

There were a variety of activities, including group exercise classes for allages and contests to win prizes. Even most of the raffle prizes fit thetheme, being nutritionally sound food baskets and sports equipment.
