Senior of the Month
By RICK RUDDEN
rrudden@mdscaa.org
Senior centers don’t give awards for attendance. If they did, Helen Lehtikangas would definitely be in the
running.
Helen, who lives about 10 miles out of Rock, typically drives to the Rock Senior Center the four days a
week it’s open (Monday-Thursday). The only thing that stops her is driving in the dark and the occasional
snowstorm.
She’s been volunteering at the center for 28 years.
“I like to be where there’s people, and there’s a lot of nice people here,” she said.
Her volunteer efforts include helping in the kitchen, setting tables, and selling bingo cards and 50-50
tickets.
She also shows up on the one Sunday a month the Rock Senior Corporation dance takes place at the
center. “It’s a lot of fun. You meet different people and I bring a dish to pass for the lunch.” She also
plays bingo on Mondays at the center.
She grew up on a small dairy farm which had eight to 10 cows. She married Leonard, and they also had
a dairy farm which was a tad larger than her parents’ farm. Leonard, who passed 29 years also, augmented the family income doing various carpentry jobs around the area. In 1976 they sold the farm, and
Leonard started doing even more carpentry work.
His pride and joy was a round roof barn near Boney Falls
that was 109 feet long. She still marvels when remembering how he would walk the entire ridge of the roof while he
was building it.
She has four children, five grandchildren and two greatgrandchildren. She also did a lot of babysitting for her
grandchildren, and enjoys telling stories about those fun
and loving times.
Rock Senior Center Administrator Becky Carey is a big fan.
“Helen is one of the cornerstones of Rock Senior Center
and is willing to do whatever is needed on any given day.
The center is very much a better place because of her. She
has some great stories and is always ready to share a
laugh,” Becky said.

Caps for Kids
We are again participating in MSU
Extension’s Purple
Caps for Babies
program. These lovingly
crocheted or knitted caps
will be donated to newborns in Delta County,
and will help spread the
story about PURPLE crying. When babies cry so
hard they turn purple,
they can actually create
brain damage, and this is
often a frustrating thing
for new parents. Sometimes these frustrated
parents don’t know how
to handle a baby that
cries so hard that the
baby actually stops
Page 8
breathing and turns blue/
purple, and injury might
occur without the parent’s
knowledge.
If you would like to participate, we ask that the caps
be premie to newborn
size, with some purple in
them, but NO decorations,
pompoms or string/
ribbons. Naomi will have a
basket on her desk to
drop them off. Our goal is
100 caps. We made 70
last year. Let’s break the
record!
UPDATE
We’ve added 25 more
caps to our goal of 100.
We’re up to 97! Help us
exceed our goal this year!

Summer is here with warmer days and nights
straight ahead. While it’s heating up outside, we are
going to cool it down, Daddy-O. We are going with a
1950s theme for our Father’s Day dinner with our
center being decorated like an old-fashioned soda
shop. Nothing says summer like an ice cream parlor
or soda shop. Too bad we don’t have the room to
put in a drive-up window or have some girls on
roller skates taking your order. That would be fun!
For our Father’s Day Dinner, we are making a menu
modification for Wednesday, June 17. On the general menu it says we are serving a ham dinner, but
we are actually serving beef roast, mashed potatoes and gravy, baby carrots and banana split cake.
All of the homebound and the center diners will receive this modified menu June 17.
Center Ongoing Daily Activities
Mondays:
Exercise Class at 11 a.m.
Tuesdays:
Line Dancing at 10 a.m.
Wednesdays:
Card Playing at 1 p.m.
Thursdays:
Exercise Class at 11 a.m.

Menominee Senior Center Bus Hours:

Please call at least a day in advance to schedule
your ride.
Looking ahead:
We will be bringing back a night meal — possibly
even two! Our first night meal will be sometime in
July. It will have an Italian theme with lasagna dinner. Mama, Mia!
We are working with the other Menominee County
Senior Centers to plan our annual Senior Picnic.
This year’s event will be at the pavilion in Stephenson. As soon as all the details become available, I
will let you all know … probably sometime in July.
Also, we are shaking things up a bit for the menu
Friday, June 26. We are going to be doing a “Taco/
Nacho Bar” at the center. This allows center guests
to build your own tacos or make a nacho supreme
with the toppings they like. Our home-delivered
meal clients will be receiving the enchilada menu
as posted.
We are working on possibly taking a read road trip
to Green Bay via Westlund to visit the Packers Hall
of Fame and the Stadium. This trip may end up being late summer or more into early fall. It will depend on the reopening of the Hall of Fame and
scheduling of tours, etc. Go! Pack! Go!
We will be taking another road trip to another senior center within our Community Action Agency. On
Wednesday, June 10, we will be heading up to visit
the folks at the Gladstone Senior Center. Sign up
early as seating is limited.
There is plenty of planning going on. I can’t do this
all by myself. I have a great staff and helpful volunteers that step in to keep this center shaking, rattling and rolling. Thank you all for your cooperation
and support of the activities and programs this center provides.

Our Dad Is Nifty!
Father’s Day Dinner
Come join us Wednesday, June 17,
as we celebrate our “nifty” dads.
Party starts at approximately 11:30
a.m.; dinner served at noon.
We are serving a beef roast dinner fit for a man,

We will serve up root beer floats and black cows.
We hope you join in on the ‘50s party theme and
dress up? Anyone wearing ‘50s attire will receive a
free meal certificate. So, dust off those poodle
skirts and saddle shoes, get out the hair grease
and white t-shirts and have some fun.
Senior Craft and
Game Day
The Menominee Recreation Department will host a “Senior Craft
and Game Day” 1 p.m. Thursday,
June 18, at our center. The Menominee Recreation Department brings all the craft
items and “helpers” for you to complete and take
home a craft. After the craft portion, they play
games-sometimes for prizes. There is no cost for
this event, and all are welcome to attend. Rain or
shine, the fun’s inside!
Well-behaved grandchildren are encouraged to
come with a grandparent.

Living with Diabetes workshop
Foot Clinic
Menominee Senior Center, in cooperation with UPCAP, will host a diabetes community education
program on Mondays from 8:30-11 a.m. at the
senior center. The first session will be Monday,
June 1.
Participants will learn in a group setting skills to
help them maintain a healthy lifestyle while living
with diabetes. In addition, they will receive one-onone sessions with a registered dietitian and diabetes educator.
If you have Medicare, a diabetes diagnosis and are
struggling with how to manage diabetes on your
own, this class is for you. Call today — space is limited.
To register for this class, please call UPCAP at
1-800-338-7227.
A local nurse will soak your feet, trim your nails,
and do an overall health inspection of your
“tootsies” on Monday, June 15. Cost is $12 per
person. Please bring your own towel. Appointments are necessary. Call the center at (906) 863
-2158 to schedule your appointment. A waiver
must be signed ahead of time.
MEDICARE/MEDICAID ASSISTANCE
Those of you who are considered “Dual Enrollees” (persons with both Medicare and full Medicaid
benefits) may have had changes to the way your
Medicaid is being processed. Those who received
letters from MI HEALTH and did not “opt out” of the
auto-enrollment will be placed in a plan called
UPHP. The UPHP plan is aimed to help dual enrollees manage their healthcare needs by assigning a
case manager to help enrollees with issues such as
transportation or setting up necessary services.
Benefits can include some coverage for hearing
aids and dental care which are not covered under
standard plans. The good news is that dual enrollees can switch plans at any time, so don’t panic if
you aren’t satisfied.
If you would like to know more or how to enroll or
disenroll from the UPHP plan, please contact me for
assistance.

How to Protect Seniors From
Health Insurance Scams
Experts offer these tips to keep con artists at bay:
Protect your medical identity. Never share personal
or financial information with a stranger, whether
you’re contacted by phone, mail or online. Only give
your insurance information to those who have provided you with medical services.
“Guard your
Medicare
number as
closely as you
would any
other personal information.” It is
recommended that
beneficiaries
keep their Medicare card at home and instead,
carry a copy of the card with all but the last four
numbers scratched out.
Beware of “free” services. “There’s often some
kind of trade-off anytime someone offers something for free,” says Melissa Simpson, program
manager of the Center for Benefits Access at the
National Council on Aging. “They’re usually after
your Medicare numbers.”
Another type of fraud involves medical equipment
manufacturers, like companies that offer free diabetes testing supplies. These vendors then charge
Medicare or private insurers for products that were
not needed or perhaps never delivered.
Review your Medicare summary notice. Carefully
check the quarterly Medicare “summary notice”
mailed to your home to verify the accuracy of your
doctor visits, hospital stays and medical care.
Some health care providers, for example, may
charge for services never rendered.
We would like to thank the Family Dollar Store in Powers for setting up a “Drop Off Box” in their store for
customers to donate such items as food, paper products, personal hygiene items, laundry and cleaning
supplies to the Hermansville Senior Center’s Food Pantry. We would also like to thank the North Central
