Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) older adults face unique challenges in today’s healthcare ecosystem. Whether due to access issues, previous poor experiences and/or trauma related to healthcare providers or a system simply not set up to serve our aging population regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, the barriers to care for LGBTQ older adults can feel overwhelming to patients, the patients’ loved ones and healthcare providers themselves. Rajean Moone, PhD, LNHA, LALD, FGSA, with the College of Continuing & Professional Studies, the School of Public Health and the Minnesota Northstar Geriatrics Workforce Enhancement Program (GWEP), discusses how older adults, older adults’ loved ones and healthcare providers can work together to ensure LGBTQ older adults are receiving high quality care.

In preparation for crossing into Canada for the Armistice ceremony of the championship game of the Intergalactic Major Junior Hockey League, the Shack Marching Band was out in force the other night under the blazing moon, trooping the snowy trails under the sky of stars and the magnificent Jupiter.
The Nuclear Component The recent news of the accidental release of 400,000 gallons of slightly radioactive water into the ground at a nuclear power plant a few miles up river from my childhood stomping grounds got me thinking about nuclear power. Fortunately, we’re not talking about dangerous radioactive elements like plutonium or uranium here, the released component being tritium, a fairly short-lived isotope of hydrogen that has three neutrons in its nucleus, where there are typically none.
The end of the WILD regular season is near, buckle your seatbelts! It is Sunday evening and believe it or not, the Minnesota WILD is currently in first place in the NHL Central division, and they are in it all by themselves.

Minnesotans eager to preserve the vitality of our hunting legacy will be glad to know that Lake County actively partners with non-profit agencies and others to do just that. The Clean Water, Land, and Legacy Amendment, which became law in Minnesota in 2008, has been providing funds to, among other things, “protect, enhance, and restore wetlands, prairies, forests, and fish, game, and wildlife habitat.” Agencies or non-profits can apply for these funds through a competitive process. The Ruffed Grouse Society in its 60-year history has learned, according to Scott Johnson, Forest Conservation Coordinator for the Ruffed Grouse/ American Woodcock Society, that the best way to maintain and preserve populations of ruffed grouse and other hunted species is to enhance forest health in general. In the past, Legacy funds have been used for large-scale land acquisition from companies like Potlatch that were divesting large tracts of lands. Public land acquisitions like this allow state and county land agencies to improve health and efficiency for wildlife and other purposes.
