Turning 60 is new and uncharted territory for most of us. There is no one-size-fits-all roadmap showing you how to move through these years with energy, purpose, and meaningful impact. Whether still working, looking to retire soon, already retired, or downsized, you are probably wondering what’s next. How do you find the right “what’s next” to fit your wants and your needs? What is your passion, your dream, your “road less traveled”? The years after 60 provide countless opportunities for you to continue in what fulfills you, transform what you do now into an encore, and/or create a new path. Mary Catherine Dabrowski will show you how to tap your personal spark that will lead you to chart your own map.

A10- Interview with grandparents on Traditional Games"Good old days"-N IrelandVasilica Gazdac
1) Primary school students interviewed senior citizens about their childhood games and toys in rural Ireland during the 1940s-1950s.
2) The seniors recalled using their imagination for entertainment instead of technology and making toys from natural materials.
3) Larger family sizes meant they always had playmates, unlike some students today.
4) Many of the same games such as hide-and-seek, hopscotch, and tag were popular then and now.
5) Both groups debated whether modern parenting is too restrictive versus protective of child safety versus the freedoms of earlier generations.

It also combats isolation among older community members by providing social opportunities and technology support through initiatives like pop-up cafes focused on social media training. The goal is to replicate this intergenerational model across Argyll to foster more inclusive, resilient communities.

Hamish Scott, who grew up in Otaki, has invented a new paving product called Starpath that glows in the dark. His company Pro-Teq Surfacing has patented the product, which is being trialled in Cambridge, England. Starpath is a resurfacing method that is faster and cheaper than replacing existing pathways, and it could provide a solution for councils looking to cut night-time lighting costs. Hamish says the product trial in Cambridge has received positive feedback so far. He jokes that while he would love to help resurface Otaki's main street, the project may have to wait until he can bring his trucks to New Zealand.
