Simplify
“We’re all familiar with the idea of spring cleaning, but some late‐summer simplifying is a great
way to keep the clu er to a minimum going into fall. But simplifying your life isn’t just about
removing the physical clu er out of your life. It’s meant to make us look closer at our lifestyle,
and eliminate the things that keep us from enjoying life.” —Ideal living website
The first week in August is Na onal Simplify your Life Week. As we
enter into the second half of the year, it’s me for some late summer
simplifying. So many aspects of your life can be simplified ranging
from both physically and psychologically. Many things cause
unwanted stress and anxiety in our lives so to recognize and
eliminate these things are huge in our overall well‐being. Becoming
mindful of what and who you have in your life and taking me to step back and breath are tremendously
helpful! Being present and “in the moment” will add so much for your life experiences.
When doing a project (large or small), try comple ng it as efficiently as possible. This will reduce fa gue
both mentally and physically, keeping you more focused, which will help things run more smoothly.
The environment we put ourselves in can also be a place to simply. We are involved in numerous ac vi es
both inside and outside the home. Try making a schedule to follow to help self discipline yourself along
with family members. Prac ce gently saying no to people’s demands or request because some mes it’s
the be er simple op on. Know how much your body can handle physically and mentally. We are all
unique and every situa on effects each one of us differently. So, if you need that a ernoon nap– take it!
Treat yourself with destressing ac vi es you enjoy such as a massage, exercise classes, walking or visi ng
with friends. Life is precious and leaning about your own values and goals will help you know when and
how to choose simplicity.
The Aging and Disability Resource center can be used as a great tool for guidance.
Many specialists are available to help you choose helpful services and
explain benefits you are eligible for to simplify your life.
SHARI BUNNELL ADRC SUPERVISOR
“A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing,
and the lawn mower is broken” – James Dent
Although wri ng is not everyone’s strength, it certainly helps me to
pause and think about where we are at in current space and me. It
ins gates reflec on on what is going on around us. And so it brings
the realiza on that July is here – the ho est month of the year in the
northern hemisphere. I discovered July’s birth flower is the Water
Lily (which I have seen a lot of on my recent fishing expedi ons in
northern Wisconsin). The birthstone for July is the ruby, which
symbolizes contentment. This fact so effortlessly compliments other
topics I thought about sharing with you this me around, so here it
goes, on the subject of contentment.
I might be da ng myself a bit, but this very me of year makes me think of some well renowned songs,
like “Sunshine on my Shoulders” by John Denver from 1971 or “Summer Breeze” by Seals & Cro s from 1972.
Similar songs, that speak of finding contentment and harmony with the an cipa on and enjoyment of summer
and all of its’ characteris cs, like the warm sunshine, the gentle blowing breeze, the smell and beauty of blooming
flowers, or the sights and sounds of open water, certainly lend themselves to bringing about humility and
gratefulness for the simple gi s each of us have to enjoy.
As we look forward to fulfilling rewards, we can share in excitement as we anxiously await for the smiles,
laughter, and energy that previously took place throughout our programs, whether it be at the dining centers,
enjoying hot lunches together, or partaking in health and wellness classes at the senior centers. For some, that
eagerness may come in simply wai ng for our transporta on driver to arrive to help them get to an appointment
or out to take care of some personal errands.
We are happy to make some announcements regarding ADRC programs. The Nutri on Program has
reopened in‐person congregate dining the week of June 21st. Please see the ‘Welcome Back’ announcement in
this newsle er. Along with this, will come scheduled Lunch & Learn opportuni es at our dining sites by our Health
&Wellness Coordinator in July and by the Die cian in August. There are more details on other pages about this, as
well. Please spread the word and invite a neighbor, friend, or family member to join us for a hot, nutri ous lunch
and a presenta on. Please call the ADRC office at 920‐849‐1451 for all Nutri on Program reserva ons.
The ADRC has seen the arrival of a new bariatric wheelchair accessible transport van. This vehicle will
allow the ADRC Transporta on Program to serve more clients from Calumet County. It will be ready to drive very
soon, so keep your eyes open!
You will see in the newsle er, there is a message from the Public Health Department regarding efforts to
reach homebound individuals or others who have not received the COVID‐19 vaccine that would s ll like to get it.
If there is an issue ge ng to a vaccine clinic, there may be op ons for transporta on or other resources to
connect individuals to get the vaccine. Call the ADRC for more informa on.
The ADRC has taken some calls recently inquiring about the Caregiver Support Group. Our in‐person group
has not begun mee ng face to face yet, but our plans tenta vely include reopening this group in Autumn. There
are other op ons that caregivers may find helpful, including online or virtual sessions. If you don’t have a
computer or the internet, the ADRC may be able to direct you to local resources to help you get connected. Please
don’t hesitate to call with ques ons.
One final topic I would like to point out is a survey regarding technology needs for seniors that is included
in this newsle er. The pandemic brought about a realiza on that many Calumet County residents are not
connected to technology, which may leave them isolated, lonely, and with less access to resources. A workgroup,
supported by the ADRC, has been formed to evaluate the technology needs and interests seniors may have.
Please take me to complete the survey and return it in the self‐addressed envelope included in the newsle er.
As always – Stay well and enjoy all that summer brings! Un l next me…

15ANGELINE VON NEUPERT REACH OFFERS MEDICATION BOXES
AND FREE FRIDGE LOCKS
Project Coordinator, Calumet County
It is impera ve that we, as a community, reduce access to medica ons and other dangerous substances by
monitoring and storing in a safe place. These precau ons can help prevent dangerous prescrip on meds
from falling into the hands of a grandchild or other visitors to your home.
Do not be the “unwi ng supplier” of prescrip on medica ons being used in unintended ways, especially by
young people. Young people believe that since the medicines were prescribed by a doctor, they provide an
inexpensive, legal and “medically safe high.” In the case of OTC remedies, most children have been given
these medicines by their parents for common illnesses, such as fevers, colds and coughs. So, teens believe it
is safe to take these drugs whenever they choose.
Tips to keep prescrip on medica ons safe:
Store them in a secure and dry place. Order a free medica on lock box from REACH. (Do not leave your
medicine out on a counter or in plain view. This makes them easy to steal.)
Count your pills regularly to check for missing medica on.
Never share your medica ons.
Don’t discuss your medica ons with others. (Discussing your prescrip ons around people can make you
an easy target for someone looking to get pain medicine. Your medicine is your business.)
Dispose of your unused medica ons‐ U lize community drop box loca ons or contact REACH for more
op ons. Disposing of pills in this manner ensures for a safe and secure disposal, preven ng medicine
from falling in the wrong hands.
REACH, Calumet County's substance misuse preven on coali on, is happy to provide
a medica on lock box and a fridge lock free to households in Calumet County.
These items are intended to assist adults in the home monitoring alcohol, over‐the‐counter
and prescrip on medica ons to decrease youth access to alcohol and drugs.

16HEATHER THIRY, CALUMET COUNTY PUBLIC
HEALTH EDUCATOR
Prepare Now for Summer Heat
Summer is upon us. Extreme heat days are something we experience in Wisconsin. The Department of Health
Services and Calumet County Public Health encourages residents to be aware of the signs and symptoms of
heat‐related illness and to take steps to prevent ge ng sick.
In 2020, 689 people went to the emergency department; 67 people were hospitalized; and seven people died
in Wisconsin due to heat‐related causes. Emergency department visits were highest among younger
popula ons aged 15‐34. Hospitaliza ons were most frequent among those aged 65 and older. “Temperatures
in Wisconsin are projected to keep increasing over me due to climate change. Wisconsinites need to be on
alert for extremely warm days and proac vely take steps to ensure their safety,” said Dr. Jon Meiman, chief
medical officer of the Bureau of Environmental and Occupa onal Health.
Some people are more likely to get sick from the heat, including: Residents reminded to
Older adults and younger children stay cool, hydrated, and
People who work outside informed when
People a ending summer fes vals temperatures soar
People without access to air condi oning
People who take certain medica ons like diure cs (“water pills”) or psychotropics
Follow these ps to stay cool on hot days:
Stay in air condi oning. When possible, stay in air condi oning on hot days. If you don’t have air
condi oning, head to libraries, stores, shopping malls, and other public spaces to keep cool.
Check on loved ones. Be sure to check on older friends and neighbors who live alone.
Avoid the ho est part of the day. If you have to be outside, s ck to the cooler morning and evening
hours. Wear light, loose clothing and take frequent, air condi oned or shade breaks.
Beware of hot cars. Never leave a person or a pet in a parked car, even for a short me.
On an 80 degree day, the temperature inside a car can reach 100 degrees in less than 10 minutes.
Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water on hot days. Avoid alcohol and hot, heavy meals.
Stay informed. Watch your local weather forecasts so you can plan outdoor ac vi es safely.
Pay a en on to any extreme heat alerts.
Remember that anyone can get sick from the heat. In Wisconsin, people ages 15‐34 are the most likely to
report to the ER for ge ng sick from the heat. No ma er your age or how healthy you are, it’s important to
stay cool, hydrated, and informed on hot days.
If you start feeling overheated, weak, dizzy, nauseated, or have muscle cramps, you could be experiencing
heat illness. Move to air condi oning, drink water, get under a fan, and put cool washcloths on exposed skin.
If your symptoms worsen or don’t improve, go to the emergency room.
For more informa on, visit the heat safety page on the Wisconsin
Department of Health Services website and watch their heat safety video.
