Amador County – TSPN’s “Today’s Seniors Living Well” services and resources program wrapped its successful six-week winter season with a Christmas special Wednesday.

Supervisor Chairman John Plasse and Supervisor Brian Oneto, two of the show’s major sponsors, thanked the show host, Laurie Webb and Producer Virginia Manner and wished them happy holidays, as did guest Tom Thompson, manager of Raley’s, and Jackson Police Chief Scott Morrison. The Christmas themed show’s last segment included TSPN’s President playing Christmas tunes on the harmonica, and Vice President Sue Slivick leading the group in song.

Supervisors Plasse and Oneto were the major sponsors of the show. Plasse sponsored the winter season with a personal donation of $1,500 to match a contribution by the Amador Senior Center. Sue said “along with that, many local businesses in the senior care provider industry also contributed by purchasing advertising which helped with production costs.” TSPN donated the airtime in-kind for the six-week winter season.

Oneto sponsored the initial season of Today’s Senior’s Living Well, which ran for 13 weeks this spring and summer. Both seasons were hosted by Laurie Webb and produced by Virginia Manner. Sue said “Virginia brought her enthusiasm and artistic flair and talents with working with people that helped make each show’s lineup part of a well-coordinated program.”

Sue said Laurie Webb, executive director of the Amador Senior Center “brought her years of knowledge on senior issues, concerns and care as she interviewed the guests and brought forth great, valuable information that is so helpful to today’s seniors.”

The show was created to highlight the services and resources available in Amador County, “to help you do all of those things that help Today’s Seniors in Living Well.”

Sue said the show was created to help bring information, whether people are seniors dealing with home environment, living safety or health issues, or helping a family member or other seniors’ lives. It was created to help seniors be safe and engaged in life’s activities in Amador County.

Raley’s manager Tom Thompson brought Santa Claus to the show. Storyteller Bonnie Evans talked about how to save and share memories, and Al Bierce talked about assistance available through the Senior Center Tax Program. Jackson Police Chief Scott Morrison encouraged people to be safe and smart.
