When I'm 64: Aging In Ohio: An ongoing series
- Aging in Ohio: Definitions and Issues:
Now, Baby Boomers face a new revolution as their formerly long
hair starts turning gray. 90.3's David C. Barnett spoke with a number
of Clevelanders to gauge the impact of aging in Ohio. (December, 1999)
- The Comeback of Jimmy Bivins: In the 1940's
and 50's, Cleveland's Jimmy Bivins was considered one of the best fighters
of his time. Even though he didn't win any world titles, Bivins' is
viewed as a champion among boxers, as Bivins trains for a new challenge
-- rehabilitation -- after suffering physical and mental abuse at the
hands of his daughter and son-in-law. 90.3's/INFOHIO's Yolanda Perdomo
reports on the comeback of Hall of Fame boxer Jimmy Bivins. (January,
2000)
- Elder Abuse: As the senior population
continues to grow, so do incidents of physical and mental abuse on the
elderly. The number of investigated cases has increased 10 percent over
the last 10 years...meaning that one out of every eight senior citizens
is being abused. As INFOHIO's/ 90.3's Yolanda Perdomo reports, that
number may be just the tip of the iceberg, because many older adults
refuse to make their voices heard. (Aired January 25, 2000)
- What Boomers Will Demand: Projections
are that by the year 2035, seventy million Baby Boomers will be age
65 or older. What will older Boomers demand of government, of the marketplace
- and of their children? As we continue our series, "When I'm Sixty-Four:
Aging in America," 90.3's Karen Schaefer brings us this report. (Aired
February 24, 2000)
- Ohio Retirees Find New Challenges Under the
Florida Sun: Florida is the fabled retirement paradise. And a large
contingent of Ohioans has migrated to the western coast of the sunshine
state in search of the good life, far away from northern winters. 90.3's
David C. Barnett reports that some have found surprises waiting under
the sun. Aired March 13, 2000
- Seminole Seniors Cling to Traditions:
A common criticism of U.S. society is that we have lost respect for
our elders. Asian and Native American cultures are often pointed to
as examples where older people are revered for their life experiences.
As a part of 90.3's series examining Aging in America, David C. Barnett
recently visited a Seminole reservation in southern Florida, where cultural
traditions are losing a struggle with modern realities. Aired March
21, 2000
