WINDSOR-ESSEX, ON, Aug. 14, 2012 /CNW/ - Almost four years after they joined forces to boost the benefits of their region as an active retirement destination, the Windsor-Essex Active Retirement Initiative (WEARCI=WE-ARE-KEY), continues to attract new residents from across Canada at a steady pace.

Despite recent national reports indicating lower home and condo prices, declining sales and threats of a housing correction, the country's southernmost peninsula is bucking the trend. WindsorEssex is enjoying gains in both resale properties and new construction as growing numbers of boomers discover the region's appealing lifestyle and opportunities for newfound wealth.

A recent survey completed in June by The Windsor-Essex County Real Estate Board to update WEARCI's progress, and conducted with 42 per cent of the area's 840 REALTORS, indicated 225 new residents age 50-plus have relocated to the WindsorEssex region, investing $56 million in properties between October 2011 and June 2012.

Combined with surveys conducted between July 2010 and October 2011, WEARCI's latest survey results now bring the total to 885 new residents age 50-plus purchasing $228 million in real estate throughout the WindsorEssex region since the marketing initiative launched in 2009.

"We offer a unique location and lifestyle often misunderstood and overlooked, until now," stated Krista Del Gatto, Executive Officer of the Windsor-Essex County Association of REALTORS (WECAR), and volunteer President of the WEARCI organization. "Our initiative is working and returning economic spinoffs to our communities. The region is growing in awareness as the preferred destination for active retirement living," added Ms. Del Gatto.

Surveys show the nine communities that shape the 100 Mile Peninsula and Pelee Island region are attracting over 70 per cent of new residents from Ontario with 34 per cent from the Greater Toronto Area. Western provinces account for 20 per cent; Quebec and eastern provinces, 4 per cent; U.S. 2 per cent and International 3 per cent.

Ms. Del Gatto says the 100 Mile Peninsula advantage is beginning to 'register' especially among homeowners in high-priced markets who have the ability to cash out and relocate to similar or larger properties for 30 per cent - 60 per cent less, a move that could mean retirement five-ten years earlier.

Matt Marchand, President and CEO of the Windsor-Essex Regional Chamber of Commerce, also a WEARCI founding partner, said the organization has created the RetireHere Show to provide families considering a lifestyle change as well as small business owners interested in servicing the age 50-plus consumer, a venue for an 'up-close and personal' overview of the region and its rising popularity.

The first RetireHere Show is scheduled for the Greater Toronto Area, September 28, 29 at the Toronto Don Valley Hotel.Details are available at RetireHere.ca

Ontario's Retirement Hot Spot Continues New Resident Gains, Increased Real Estate Investment Despite National Downturn

LONDON -- The last five years have been tough for those in retirement. Portfolio valuations have been hammered and annuity rates have plunged. There's no sign of things improving anytime soon, either, as the eurozone and the U.K. economy look set to muddle through at best for some years to come.

A great way of protecting yourself from the downturn, however, is by building your retirement fund with shares of large, well-run companies that should grow their earnings steadily over the coming decades. Over time, such investments ought to result in rising dividends and inflation-beating capital growth.

In this series, I'm tracking down the U.K. large caps that have the potential to beat the FTSE 100 over the long term and support a lower-risk income-generating retirement fund (you can see the companies I've covered so far on this page).

Today, I'm going to take a look at Aviva (LSE: AV.L) (NYSE: AV) , a high-yield favorite with some Fools and the U.K.'s only composite insurer (it sells life insurance and general insurance).

Premium performance?Aviva currently offers an outstandingly high yield of 8.1%, something it has in common with its peer RSA Insurance Group. The reason for this is that both shares have chronically underperformed the FTSE 100 over the last 10 years, despite remaining profitable and paying solid dividends:

When we get to a certain age -- kids launched or launching, our own parents frail or gone from us -- its only natural to start wondering about how the years are going to go and what we will do with the rest of them, along with where we will do it.

Kings Point, a documentary directed and produced by Sari Gilman, makes you think even harder about those questions. It features five people who years ago did what many older Americans choose to do: pull up stakes and move to a retirement resort where they can dance, play golf and cards or enjoy a broad array of other activities and hobbies cheek by jowl with other retirees.

But the years have rolled on for Jane, Mollie, Gert, Bea and Frank, and the times are no longer as easy and happy at Kings Point as they were when they first moved to Florida.

Frank is passing his days with Bea but wants to find someone younger. Gert is adamant that she will not move in with her children -- and doesnt think they would want her to anyway. Mollie, who came to Kings Point with her now-deceased husband after he had a heart attack, regrets that she ever left New York. The five people talk about how hard it is to foster deep friendships where they live, whether they could ever fall in love again and how people at Kings Point keep their illnesses to themselves.

People in Los Angeles can watch the short film through Thursday at the Laemmle NoHo7 as part of the International Documentary Assn.s DocuWeeks 2012 program.

I spoke with Gilman about the film, which is dedicated to her grandmother Ida Gilman. Heres some of the interview, edited down for length and clarity.

Why did you decide to make the film?

My grandmother lived [at Kings Point] for 30 years and I visited her from the time I was about 9. I When I was younger, I was really fascinated by the place -- it seemed like summer camp for old people.

[But over time things shifted:] I saw a lot of loneliness, and I saw a lot of people staying in and not going out as much. If you had your health, that kind of made you popular. And if you didnt, people stopped coming by. I would hear people at the pool sort of whispering, Oh, Ida -- shes going down.

All of a sudden, everyone was going to the doctor instead of going to the clubhouse, but people didnt want to hear the other person complain. I imagined there was a lot going on internally with the residents there, but they didnt have an opportunity to talk to each other about it.

Retirement resorts don't look so rosy in documentary film

The governments central personnel agency says that allowing federal employees to phase into retirement is one of its important goals and it will make the option available as soon as possible.

However, participation will be entirely voluntary for both employees and their employing agencies, and certain categories of workers will be excluded, the Office of Personnel Management added in a fact sheet it recently sent to agencies.

Under phased retirement, an agency will be able to offer employees who are retirement-eligible the choice of switching to part-time work. They would draw a partial salary and a partial annuity, both prorated according to the time worked.

Phased retirement had been proposed for years as helping employees interested in cutting back on their work schedules rather than retiring fully, while the government would continue to benefit from their expertise. The law envisions that phased retirees would spend a fifth of their working time mentoring younger employees.

The authority was enacted as a cost-saving part of an unrelated bill signed last month, but the option will not be available until OPM issues implementing rules. OPM has not released an expected start-up date.

Under the traditional law in effect until then, when federal retirees return to work for the government they continue to receive their full annuities, but their pay generally is reduced by an equal amount. Limited exceptions allow for full receipt of both.

An effective phased retirement plan has been a long-sought goal. However, under prior law, the problem was that an individual who was retirement-eligible but wished to continue employment on a part-time basis generally had little economic incentive to do so because an employees potential retirement benefits would often be equal to or greater than their salary would be for part-time employment, OPM said.

While the law authorizing phased retirement would allow retirees to work between one and four days a week on average, OPM told agencies that at the outset, at least, only half-time work will be allowed.

Phased retirement will be available only to those who meet standard retirement eligibility rules and who also had been working full-time for the three previous years. Employees who are subject to mandatory retirement will be excluded; most of them work in law enforcement, air traffic control and firefighting.

Phased retirees will be treated as employees for purposes of health and life insurance coverage and survivor benefits, OPM said. When they decide to retire fully, their annuity benefits will be paid in full, with increases reflecting their additional working time.

The 2012 Olympics are over and NBA veteran Leandro Barbosa remains unsigned after personal success on the worlds biggest stage.

Barbosa led Brazil in scoring by a wide margin over the past two weeks. His 16.2 points per game and 40 percent three-point shooting at the Olympics was indicative of Barbosas play in the NBA over his career. Barbosa has a much bigger role on his national team and in the Quarter Finals loss to Argentina, it was Barbosa who almost led them back with a team-high 22-point performance.

Last season, Barbosa was still one of the fastest guards in the league and deserving of his Brazilian Blur nickname. A one-man fast break over his nine NBA seasons, Barbosa can be nearly unstoppable on straight-line drives to the basket and his career 39.1 percent three-point shooting is a constant threat.

At 29 years old, Barbosa has already played the mentors role in Toronto and Indiana where he has shown a willingness to play behind younger players while maintaining a strong positive and supportive voice on the floor, on the bench and in the locker room.

Barbosa would fit in as a veteran with a group of younger players or as the fireplug off the bench on a contender that may not be able to provide consistent minutes some players need. He has been linked to the Los Angeles Lakers and Cleveland Cavaliers among other teams.

Barbosa is an unrestricted free agent, but accepted the risk of playing for his national team without the security of a new contract.

Productive, self-motivated and willing to play for the love of the game, there should be a spot on an NBA roster for the veteran guard.

Olympian Leandro Barbosa Remains Unsigned

KUSA - Forming the right habits can lead to success - both in one's personal life and the business world - and understanding what makes a habit is the premise behind the New York Times bestselling book "The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business."

Author Charles Duhigg, who is an investigative reporter with the New York Times, says retailers have become experts at studying shoppers' habits to create marketing campaigns.

"They create marketing campaigns unique and personalized to you to take advantage of what they've learned about your habits to see if they can trigger those automatic behaviors," he said.

Duhigg says neurological studies show every habit has three components.

"There's a cue - which is like a trigger for the behavior to start unfolding - and then the automatic behavior itself, and then finally, a reward," he said. "The reward is how our brain learns to remember that pattern for the future. What companies like Target - or anyone else - does is they focus on the cues and the rewards. They understand what triggers your behavior, and what reward drives that behavior. "

Duhigg says grocers put healthy food like produce at the front of their stores to trigger the reward mechanism when a shopper passes the junk food isle later in the visit. He says once you have an item like a tomato in your cart, you are more likely to reward yourself with a box of cookies as you make your way through the store.

He says the book also focuses on the daily routine of Olympian swimmer Michael Phelps, who he says has created a series of mental habits that have lead to his success.

"Once you understand how to diagnose habits - how to diagnose those cues and rewards - you learn how to control the automatic behaviors," Duhigg said. "And once you're in control, you can change your life."
