The folks at Visiting Angels, a national in-home senior care company with a local office, are surprising some of our community’s most amazing SUPER SENIORS during the week leading up to and on National Senior Citizens Day.
This will be a fun, visual story as we surprise local seniors, with superhero capes, badges, shields and more! Why go to the theater to see the Avengers gang, when you can see real life superheroes in your own back yard!
WHO ARE “SUPER SENIORS”?
Research shows 50 million Americans are over the age of 65 and as SUPER SENIORS they’ve survived some of the most trying and exciting times of the last century.
Superman may leap tall buildings in a single bound. Wonder Woman may lasso the truth, but they've got nothing on SUPER SENIORS who stormed the beaches of Normandy during World War II, marched for equality during the civil rights movement and put the first man on the moon.
HOW WILL THEY BE HONORED?
Follow along as local Visiting Angels caregivers throw celebrations of cosmic proportions, awarding local SUPER SENIORS with tools for superhero strength at the age of 70, 80, 90 and beyond!
Visiting Angels SUPER SENIORS Celebration
SUPERHERO ‘CAPE’ – Visiting Angels will hand out superhero capes to SUPER SENIORS for the courage they’ve exhibited through their decades on earth. Hear their stories! Some have survived heart ache, sickness, and the death of loved ones but as survivors, they’ve conquered all the hardships life throws at them!
SUPERHERO ‘SHIELD’ - SUPER SENIORS will be awarded shields as a weapon to fight off the challenges of growing older, like the risk of falling in their homes or nasty germs that can make them very sick due to weaker immunity systems.
SUPER FOODS FOR SUPER SENIORS - Caregivers will deliver SUPER SENIORS a basket of super food that would include grains like brown rice, quinoa, that reduce spikes in blood sugar and vegetables like broccoli or cauliflower that are rich in disease fighting properties and herbs and spices including garlic that is a known as nature’s best immune system booster.
SUPER HERO ‘BADGE’ or medals - Caregivers will pin badges or medals on local SUPER SENIORS to show they are warriors in a world that has experienced much upheaval in their lifetimes. (Some have lived through the Great Depression, several wars, political unrest, etc.) These seniors have remained happy and grounded through it all because they are true survivors.
We invite you to join us as Visiting Angels dispatches local troops to honor SUPER SENIORS for an entire week (August 14 – 21) leading up to National Senior Citizens Day.

Governor appoints Chelsea Koch to the Third District Court
SALT LAKE CITY (Aug. 9, 2019) – Gov. Gary R. Herbert has appointed Chelsea Koch as a judge for the Third District Court.
“A seasoned public defender and experienced attorney, Chelsea Koch is passionate about ensuring justice and fairness for all in court,” Gov. Herbert said. “Her dedication to enforcing the law with exactness and equity will make her a strong addition to the bench.”
Since 2008, Koch has run her own private practice. She has also served as a public defender in Tooele County and she worked as an assistant federal defender and trial attorney for the Utah Federal Defender Office from 2003 to 2008. She holds a J.D. from the S.J. Quinney College of Law at the University of Utah, and a B.S. in psychology, also from the U.
“I am humbled and honored to be selected by Gov. Herbert to serve the community and the people of the Third Judicial District,” Koch said. “If confirmed, I will endeavor to give each individual a fair opportunity to be heard in court, and to rule according to the Constitution and the laws of this great state.”
This appointment is subject to confirmation by the Utah Senate. If confirmed, Koch will fill the vacancy created by the retirement of Judge Bernards-Goodman.
