You Will Be Missed!
Travels to northern Michigan, Germany and/or Egypt, taking
a Zumba class, volunteering at church and spending more
time with family are just a few plans that Chris has after she
retires from the Senior Adult Services Transportation Department this April. Chris has been with the Northville Parks and
Recreation since 2002 and the Transportation Department
for 2 years. Along with her office and people skills, she also
can boast that she was a top model for the Community Center
fashion show in 2011!
Chris Haas
“I’ll miss my co-workers. They are the best, and the many
seniors that visit the center everyday. And I will miss being
greeted each morning by the seniors who walk in the gym.
They are always a lot of fun and can tell pretty good jokes,”
comments Chris.
Chris has been an inspiration to all of us. Her ability to adapt to every environment where
she works, her leadership skills and friendly personality will be missed.
“Don't simply retire from something; have something to retire to.”

Northville Hearing Center
Ask your Hearing Specialist
By Lin McNair, BC-HIS, ACA
Call Us Today!
248-349-0657
Question
Can hearing loss affect my balance?
Answer
Yes, hearing loss can affect your balance. A recent study led by
Northville
Hearing Center
Johns Hopkins researcher, Frank Lin, MD, PhD found that hearing loss can triple the risk of falling down for people aged 40 and older.
Lin McNair, BC-
The study findings show that people with a 25-decibel hearing loss—classified as a ‘mild
hearing loss’ were nearly three times more likely to have a history of falling. Every
additional 10-decibels of hearing loss increases the chances of falling by 1.4 fold.
18600 Northville Rd.
Explanation: People with impaired hearing lack awareness of their overall environment,
which makes them more likely to trip and fall said study author Dr. Frank Lin, an assistant professor at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the university’s Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Northville Hearing Center is offering free hearing screenings and product demonstrations during the month of May. Call 248-349-0657 today to make an appointment. There is NO COST for these services.

change it -- and him -- forever.
June 29 – One Day, PG-13 (2011) After a romantic

body. Water aerobics is great for improving posture and strengthening your core. Classes are
designed for all adults of any swimming ability,
even non-swimmers, and floatation noodles and
barbells are used for deep water work. Enjoy the

Deep End Water Walking
Leave your gym shoes in the closet and hit the
Recreation Center at Hillside pool for an energizing deep water walk. The water’s buoyancy
supports the body’s weight, which reduces
stress on the joints and minimizes impact, while
giving you a great workout that participants do at
their own pace. Walking will be offered in the
deep water only using a flotation device such as
a noodle or barbell.
