NeuropathY SYmptomS?

Fire officials are investigating the cause of a Friday night

fire that destroyed a vacant
home along Cuba Road in
Long Grove and injured one
firefighter.
Firefighters were called at
9:38 p.m. Friday for a house
on fire at 3133 Shagbark
Lane, just west of the Twin
Orchard Country Club, at the
corner of Shagbark Lane and
Cuba Road.
When they arrived, they
found the two-story, colonial-styled
home
fully
engulfed in flames, with fire

shooting through the roof,

according to a release from
the Long Grove Fire Protection District.
Because of the homes
private setting and limited
access roads, the fire was able
to intensify without anyone
noticing, fire officials said.
While a damage estimate
wasnt available Saturday,
firefighters say the home is
uninhabitable and heavily
damaged by smoke and fire.
One firefighter injured his

back while fighting the fire,

and was taken by ambulance
to Advocate Condell Medical
Center in Libertyville.
Because the area does not
have fire hydrants, firefighters brought in more than
50,000 gallons of water to
extinguish the fire.
Assisting on the call were
the Palatine, Lake Zurich,
Buffalo Grove, Lincolnwood-Riverwoods, Grayslake,
Wauconda, Prospect Heights,
and Barrington fire departments, as well as the Lake
County Sheriff, and the South
Lake County Regional Community Emergency Response
Team.

Libertyville residents Vita Verden, left, and Gloria Shapiro talk about Senior Issues Etc., a
cable show that is ready to start its 17th season.

Seniors: 80-something hosts want

to expand to a younger audience

half-hour airs in 83 communities, Verden said, and is

available to seniors across the
country via its website, www.
seniorissesetc.org.
At first I had to beg for
people (to be a guest) we
didnt have any body of work
to show them. Now, Ive got
people lined up, she said.
The first show will include
crew introductions one
camera operator is 92, the
graphics guy will be 90 and
the producer is 86 and
a segment with a Salvation
Army official, as the organization is celebrating its 125th
anniversary. Lake County
Clerk Carla Wyckoff will
explain the voting process.
But its not all serious.
Well just throw in a fun
show one of the seniors is
a jazz piano player, Verden
said. We want to appeal
to the whole person. Weve
become role models of a new
breed of seniors.
One upcoming show will
feature a quiltmaker of Russian heritage. In Russia, the
quiltmakers are artists who
create pictures in their craft,
according to Verden.
Her
granddaughter
is going to be the translator. Thats going to be
interesting.
For those who dont have
cable, episodes are shown
on a big screen every second
Tuesday at the Libertyville
senior center.
CDs of the show are available to borrow.
The subjects are informative to all-aged people,
not just seniors, said Carol
Lopez, senior center director.
Just all kinds of topics.
For example, Lopezs
daughter, who survived a
head-on collision, was a guest
on a show involving lessons
of gratitude, she said.
I think she has a Godgiven gift and innate ability to
bring out the best in people,
Lopez said of Verden.
Recently, Senior Issues
Etc. was discovered online
by the Words of Wisdom
Project, and Verden and the
crew were contacted and profiled. Words of Wisdom was
founded more than a year ago
as a venue for seniors to share
their life stories, life lessons,
hopes and fears, according to
co-founder Dave Voitik. More
than 60 interviews have been
posted.

Joe Passalaqua records the cable access show Senior Issues Etc. at the Comcast studios in Waukegan. The show is
completely produced, filmed and edited by seniors from Lake
County.

During their 16-year run,

Verden and Shapiro have
learned the ins and outs of
television production, from
operating all the equipment, developing ideas and
booking guests, to business
aspects such as creating and
operating as a not-for-profit
corporation and applying
for grants to finance about
$4,000 in annual expenses.
Were having other communities call us now to do
workshops, Verden said.
On air, she steadfastly
has stuck with a tell it like
it is approach mixed with
a fun delivery and natural
sassiness.
Keeping topics relevant is
one of the goals.
Were
living
longer.

We have to know all these

things, Shapiro explained.
You have to keep on top of
what current issues in society
seniors need to know.
Next, Verden said, she
wants to connect with a
younger audience. She is
working on a partnership
with Carmel Catholic High
School in Mundelein in
which students would participate in a social media critique
of the show.
Links to their observations
would be included on the
website.
We have the senior market, Verden said. What
were looking to do is
expand.
