Elderly learn how
to keep active
Margo Raynor, who will be featured
on the February 28th show of
Hospitality Hduse on WITN,
Washington agrees with F. Scott
Fitzgerald in that "Beautiful old
people create themselves". Raynor,
Fitness Specialist for the North
Carolina Division of Aging will be
accompanied by Ernest Messer.
Assistant Secretary for the Division of
Aging.
Messer will explain diseases of the
elderly that do not necessariy have to
develop.
Raynor, who designed and
developed the AHOY (Add Health to
Our Years) project which is a
statewide program for maintaining
and improving the physical health of
older adults, will give a brief
demonstration of movements which
will maintain beautiful people. Her
theory is that if you don't use it, you
lose it.
One aspect Raynor stresses is
treating the whole person ? mind,
body and spirit. Because of this, she
has been asked to speak to medical
professionals as well as physical
therapists. Through her program,
they have gained insight into total
wellness of the person instead of a
singular illness.
Raynor is returning to the popular
TV show as a guest of television
hostess Kay Currie. Hospitality House
airs every Sunday at 12 noon. Tune in
and let AHOY show you how to use it!
Correction
In last week's paper, we mistakenly
stated that the county soybean
production banquet was sponsored by
the extension office. In fact, the
award plaques were sponsored by the
Lions Club and the extension service,
and the banquet was sponsored by
various chemical companies.
