Rural Public Transportation

Rural Public Transportation - 4:32
Often we take for granted that everyone can get to the resources in their community. This isn't always the case, even more so in rural America. Government funding is helping seniors, persons with disabilities and others with limited resources get to where they need to go. In Lee and Ogle Counties, LOTS is helping persons get to community resources at an affordable cost. LOTS also has connections with regional Greyhound Connect routes that can take persons to all points in the United States.

Choral Singing is Good for You

Choral Singing is Good for You - 4:33
Statistics from the recent Chorus Impact Study from Chorus America reveal that more than 54 million Americans, 18 years or older, are singing in a choir. Roughly 73% report feeling connected to others through socialization and hold a more positive attitude due to their regular activity in a choir. Three-quarters of adults surveyed report that their first experience in a choir was in elementary, middle school or high school, and nearly 20% of older choristers stated that singing relieved chronic health conditions and improved cognitive ability. In addition, of the estimated 5.6 million people worldwide who have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s-related dementia, more and more are singing in “dementia choirs.” With no drug-based cure for dementia, social interventions--such as choirs for people with early-stage memory loss--are improving the social, emotional, and physical well-being of participants and their care partners.
