Subject: 4-16-19 ideas and info for your commission
Dear Austin Commission on Seniors Staff Members,
I would also like to share with your very influential advisory commission some online links that might prove to be helpful:
http://www.betterworld.net/quotes/senior-citizen-quotes.htm
This link offers an abundance of insightful and memorable quotations about senior citizens. My hope is that with permission from the editor or publisher of the above online webpage, Senior Citizen Centers in Austin could permanently display on their walls several or many of these fine quotes, along with portraits of the authors of those quotes.
One of the better quotes from that webpage comes from Benjamin Franklin: "Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young."
Another link that might be of keen interest to your advisory commission is to a website for the Institute for Dementia Research and Prevention at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center of the Louisiana State University System in Baton Rouge, with that institute's phone number being (225) 763-2973:
https://idrp.pbrc.edu/information/faqs/
It is very likely (and I haven't found the time yet to research this online) that the UT-Austin Dell Medical School will be conducting or has conducted medical research that is especially helpful to senior citizens in this state-capital city. Any such research findings could then be presented at a very inspirational symposium or workshop here in Austin that's possibly co-sponsored by your Austin Commission on Seniors.
I would also like to share with you a very impressive statement I found online from then-Precinct-3-Constable Sally Hernandez (herself currently the Travis County Sheriff), as quoted in the "Oak Hill Gazette" of August 18, 2016:
"With over 34 years of law enforcement experience, I can tell you the two areas of crime that anger me the most are crimes against children and crimes against our senior citizens."
I would like to respectfully recommend that your commission consider inviting Sheriff Hernandez to give a speech before your advisory board inside City Hall. In that speech, Sheriff Hernandez could offer your commission public-policy recommendations on how the City Government of Austin could do more to deter and investigate violent crimes and other crimes that victimize senior citizens here.
I am also hopeful that your advisory commission will consider inviting a speech before your group by an expert on state and federal laws that protect senior citizens in Austin from being victimized by various forms of elder abuse, including sexual abuse or physical abuse.
The invited speaker could give a statement to your group on what the impact of anti-abuse state and federal laws have been on senior citizens here in Austin, and whether the City Government of Austin and residents of Austin could do more to comply in full with that law.
I hope that this follow-up brainstorming letter is helpful to your Austin Commission on Seniors.
Sincerely and Best Wishes,
John Kevin McMillan,
