October Is Breast CancerAwareness Month
Page A-10
Page A-2—Seniors Today—October 23, 2015
We marvel at the beautyand service of places likethe Museum, the Band-shell, Peabody Auditori-
um, ancient trees that still stand, the fossilsthat were found in our canal, Indian burialmounds, the lighthouse, the use of coquinarocks that created historic images through-out our city and remain as famous landmarks.
We have visited, worked at, and appre-ciated the culture brought to us through theyears. One very special event that we couldcount on each year was when the LondonSymphony Orchestra came to town. Mem-bers of Famous Beach Chapter Sweet Ade-lines, would often be asked to usher. Weenjoyed unforgettable experiences.
We have all kinds of events and land-marks… some very good, some question-able… like the image I pass on the way towork. There really is no place in this arti-cle concerning our landmarks and culturalaffairs for this bit of information butwith a crazy mind like mine, it just popsup. So, here goes… I work on weekendsand take the same route each day. When Iget to the corner of LPGA and WilliamsonI go into the left turn lane and there it is…still. It has become a permanent landmark(or fixture) on the concrete mid-section…a badly broken hub cap. I have thoughtoften of getting out of the car and remov-ing it but instead, I have come to smile atthe sight of it. After all, it is an indicationof where I need to turn south.
That hub cap could have been deliber-ately left there, representative of a life thatwas spared following an accident. It couldhave been the least important piece of anaccident to be salvaged, hence forgotten.Because it is still there after all these months,it must have special meaning.
There is a large piece of metal displayedin front of a local building, a landmarkfrom the 911 twin towers. Now we knowthat’s special.
Something I noticed when we moved toFlorida was the number of homes and busi-nesses where the American flag is flown.Many of them have standards that are per-manently attached to the buildings, othersare temporarily placed and flown on mem-orable occasions. It’s a wonderful sightto see.
The state of Florida has turned out tobe a very interesting place, where all kindsof folks migrate to and leave their mark.I wonder what kind of mark I will leave—maybe a smile to cover all the goodthings that come from living here.

We learned as children thatif it seems too good to betrue, it probably is. Wealso have heard that no-
thing is free. There’s always a catch. There’salways something expected by the partygiving something free, even if it’s only ahope for future or additional business.
The risks of attack to your credit andyour financial stability, as well as outrighttheft of your money and property, haveincreased exponentially in recent years.It’s almost detrimental to give examplesof scams, shams, and flimflams because onecan become complacent when a somewhatdifferent scam is presented. The types andvariations of scams are ever-changing. Youneed to watch for tell-tale signs, as opposedto specific fact patterns.
It is likely that there are organizedscammers all over the world, whose solepurpose is taking your money and property.Whereas we used to receive letters by snailmail from Nigeria and other countries,now we are accosted by e-mail, text mes-sages, and other Internet-transmitted means,including viruses.
You may be contacted by impostors pos-ing as banks, lenders, buyers and sellers ofreal estate, credit card companies, creditagencies, friends, relatives, brokers, attor-neys, lotteries, and many, many others. Aswe age, we must be aware of additionaldangers, including dishonest care-takers and
the oddly attractive desire to gamble, withlotteries, sweepstakes, and similar volun-tary acts.
I see people every day who have beentaken for their money or have spent theirmoney. Often they have lost their entirelife savings. Many times they know andrealize that it is too good to be true, butthey fall for it anyway. Many get takenmore than once, because once a scammerrealizes the person is easy prey, they keepreturning for more. It often seems surpris-ing, but I can assure you that it happensall the time.
There are a number of excellent arti-cles throughout the Internet, including theFlorida Attorney General’s website, (http://my floridalegal.com) Life Lock’s website(http://www.lifelock.com/education/),Securities and Exchange Commission (http://www.sec.gov/investor/pubs/cyberfraud.htm) and a number of other places.

Scams, Shams, And Flimflams
Elder Law…by Michael A. Pyle
Page A-6—Seniors Today—October 23, 2015
by Peggy Goldtrap
It began simply enough, a questto buy a few colorful pillows,baskets, a glass fish or two, andturn our boring home into coastal
oasis. Tired of drab green and beige, Iwanted a return to bright, lively, bounce… on a budget.
The idea was sound but the applica-tion turned into a nightmare that mademe question my sanity. My husbandgot involved.
GAG and I have been married waytoo long, 57 years and courting. We’repolar opposites. Don’t like the samefood. Don’t like the same televisionshows. Don’t like the same colors.Shopping is sport for me. For GAGit’s as joyful as a root canal. Second onlyto wallpapering, and hanging pictures,shopping can destabilize a marriage.
GAG didn’t like my coastal remake.He said: ‘Why don’t we get somethingnew and dispose our thrift store galle-ria.’ He’s never embraced my hunt forhidden treasure in the attic or in thebackroom of a salvage store.
Frankly, I was excited that he wouldshop with me. We began on September29, my birthday. GAG’sgift was his presenceand patience in pursuitof a couch. That’s all.Ours had been ‘grand-child wallored’ overmany years and saggedas much as my eyelids.
By the third day wefound the couch; light, comfy, stainresistant but it needed a matching chairto tie-in the look. Our chairs were suc-cumbing to wear and tear; had beenrevived by repair, but GAG’s leaneddespite welding. A couch and chairseemed reasonable.
I offered to stop there and fill inaccessories at consignment and thriftstores. New couch and chair withoutnew tables and lamps would be pig ina poke ugly. We grew wearier, the listgrew larger. We began hallucinating.The TV stand wasn’t appropriate withshabby beach chic. We needed a white-washed media console.
Coastal furniture should be easy tofind. Right? Wrong. It’s out in moreways than one. White wash is rare,except in thrift stores and consignments;my trump cards in the game.
We also learned that furniture on dis-play is not for purchase, only to see.Even if something is out of stock, thestore won’t sell display because some-one else might want to buy it even
though they can’t have it, so if it wasgone the store couldn’t sell what thecustomer can’t have anyway. Huh? Ifyou want to buy something it has to beordered. For instant gratification peo-ple this is agony. Furniture arrives atodd times so finishing décor changehappens over a period of time.
GAG sold our old furniture beforethe new furniture arrived. For almost aweek we watched TV on an outdoortable and sat on lounge chairs. Timingis not his strong suit.
Dining room gone we shopped fora new set. We picked it out by picturesand hope it arrives as advertised. Welearned that casters on chairs are outbut still available from elves in north-ern Lapland.
Our bedroom, which GAG claimedfor 30 years was sleek and modern, wasrejected by the professional buyer. Hesaid, not gently, ‘That style is too old
for me to sell.’ GAG’sheart broke. ‘I’m learning,’he said, ‘I have no ideawhat is modern or popular.’
Last chance. I took GAGto three consignment shopsand gave him a verbal sur-vey of thrift stores. I knewI could paint some battered
pieces bright and save hundreds. Hedidn’t agree.
Some new furniture has been deliv-ered. Loving the light, bright, shabbychic, coastal grand Florida décor, butwe’re afraid to sit down. It’s so new andperfect, we can’t relax.
What started out with a couch changeturned into two weeks of trench shop-ping. It seemed like two years. GAG’sbirthday gift required time, attention,and gritted teeth forbearance, but polaropposites are now totally synced.
Oddly, I was the reluctant one tospend money. I offered to ‘quit whilewe’re ahead’ and pick up accent tablesand pizzazz from thrift stores or con-signments. GAG wanted it matchy-matchy, not my eclectic magic. It’s fin-ished. Now we wait for the ‘twelfth ofnever’ deliveries.
Did we succeed in our quest or didwe expose our sanity to question? Timewill tell. On one thing we are in 100percent agreement. We’re never goingto do this again.

One thing is for certain:There always will be somecon artist who wants totake your money. Unfor-
tunately, those already facing financialhardships are even more vulnerable toscams. Instead of helping, they will onlycompound your financial problems.
Foreclosure is prime territory for ascam. Residents facing the threat oflosing a home often are flooded withovertures from individuals or companiesoffering to help. There’s absolutelynothing wrong with spending money inexchange for a worthwhile service. Inmany cases, the services offered to peo-ple in foreclosure are nothing more thanworthless scams looking to exploit yourhardship. Foreclosure scams target peo-ple whose home mortgages are in trou-ble. Scam operators advertise over theInternet and in local publications, dis-tribute fliers and even contact peoplewhose homes are listed in foreclosurenotices. There are many different ap-proaches to these scams. They maypromise to take care of your problemsby offering to negotiate with your mort-gage lender in exchange for a fee. Theymay offer to obtain refinancing for you.Sometimes they ask you to make yourmortgage payments directly to the scamoperator. They may even ask you tohand over your property deed and thenoffer to lease the residence back to youso that you can stay in your home.
Any of these pitches should sendup warning flags! Here’s why: Insteadof contacting your lender or refinanc-ing your loan, scam operators willpocket all of the money that you payto them. They may file a bankruptcycase in your name to give the elusionthat they’re taking action to clear upyour problems. This is only a tempo-rary device, since bankruptcy does-n’t stop foreclosure, but merely puts it on
hold. When the scam artist walks awayafter the filing, the bankruptcy peti-tion will be dismissed and the foreclo-sure proceeding will continue. If thishappens, you could end up losing yourhome as well as any money paid to thescam operator.
Many companies, some reputableand some not, will offer to negotiate orconsolidate your debt to help you out ofa mortgage jam. The catch is that you’llbe asked to pre-pay for these services.The truth is that in many cases, the ser-vices don’t offer anything that you can’tdo on your own. There are many non-profit debt counseling agencies thatwill provide the same services free ofcharge. If you can’t pay your mortgage,the best advice is to contact the mort-gage lender or a lawyer for help. Don’tfall for a pitch or a solicitation. Instead,take the time to find a reputable sourcethat can help you make good decisions.In the meantime, be extremely cautiousif any individual or company:• Calls itself a mortgage consultant,
foreclosure service, pre-foreclosurespecialist, debt manager, tax advi-sor, or some other similar name.
• Contacts people whose homes arelisted for foreclosure.
• Attempts to collect an up-front feebefore providing a service.
• Tells you to make your mortgagepayments directly to them.
• Tells you to transfer your propertydeed or title directly to them.When dealing with a foreclosure,
these should all be warning signs thatsomething’s not right.

What’s In The StarsFor The Week Of Oct. 26, 2015
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Takingon too many tasks at one time can causeyou to create more snarls each time youtry to work your way through the tangledmass. Best to handle one job at a time.TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Makingbold moves is what Bovines do. The bestmoves are made with lots of data to pro-vide backup just in case you charge intoan unexpected complication. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Sharingcredit for a job well done is easy for youto do, but not necessarily for your partner.Fair is fair.

• Update window treatments tocompensate for droppingtemperatures. Try trad-ing your sheers forsturdy, draft-block-ing panels.
• Now is the timeto install weather-stripping or caulk forfall and winter. To finddrafts, try this trick: Lighta taper candle and run it veryslowly along the cracks of yourwindows. When you see the flameflicker, that's where you have adraft leak.
• Want to save money and be a goodenvironmental servant? Get with thetimes—the old times, that is. Buy
second-hand items and have house-hold items repaired instead of throw-ing them out. Good-quality clothescan be sold or donated to charityshops; furniture and household itemsalso can be sold or donated, or repur-posed into new rooms.
• To keep sauces from splat-tering and dirtying the

Dear Paw's Corner: Here in Florida,we're urged to have a hurricane pre-paredness plan between June and Novem-ber, which is traditionally hurricaneseason. Often emergency officials for-get about pets. Can you remind readersto include their pets in any disaster plan-ning? Things can happen really fast, andpets are often forgotten and put at risk.
—Larry in Deerfield Beach, FLDear Larry: Absolutely! We've seen
in past natural disasters like HurricaneKatrina that our pets can suffer greatlyif no plan is in place for them. Dogsand cats cannot fend for themselvesafter a disaster.
Different regions of the country canexperience different issues, too. For ex-ample, the Northeast had one of its cold-est, snowiest winters in almost twocenturies this year. Roofs collapsed, peo-ple had trouble heating their homesand many seniors, often with pets, werestuck indoors for days on end. It wasa different kind of disaster, but no lessstressful for those who were displacedor suffered health issues.
American Red Cross (www.redcross.org/prepare/location/home-family/pets) Ready.gov (www.ready.gov/caring-animals) and the Centers forDisease Control and Prevention (www.cdc.gov/features/petsanddisasters/) allhave detailed information to help youprepare pets in case you have to quicklyevacuate your home.
Guidelines include but aren't limitedto: making sure your pets' vaccinationsare up to date and that they wear ID tags,license and ideally are microchipped;having a pet carrier for each pet; addingpet supplies, medications, and extraleashes and collars to your disaster kit;and keeping a copy of all pet recordswith your critical family documents.

With the weather finallybeginning to cool down,many of us are spendingmore time outdoors. This
is a great time to allow our dogs to enjoy thenice weather as well. If you aren’t already,you may want to consider spending moretime walking outside with your dog.
Walks are beneficial for both humans anddogs. For humans, there is the obvious ben-efit of getting outside and exercising. Stud-ies have shown that people who commit toregular dog walking are more consistent withtheir exercise than those who walk withanother person, or those with other exercise
plans. By taking your dog for a few walksa day, you can improve your fitness levelin no time.
Exercise is very important to our caninefriends as well, in more than one way. First,there are the obvious physical benefits. Dogsthat maintain a healthy weight tend to livelonger, healthier lives. Overweight dogs aremore prone to heart disease, depression,diabetes, and arthritis, just to name a fewpotential issues.
Dogs also show improved behavior whenthey exercise regularly. Most animal behav-iorists believe that many dog behavior issuescan be minimized or even eliminated byproviding more structured exercise. Many
dog behavior problems stem from boredom.When offered a more productive outlet forexpending their energy, dogs tend to bark,chew, and dig less. With regular exercise,dogs will also be more confident and haveless anxiety.
How much exercise is enough for yourdog? It can vary for each dog, but largebreed dogs usually need at least 40 minutesof exercise daily. Smaller dogs usually needabout 20-30 minutes of exercise each day.Walking is the easiest option, but you canalso spend time playing fetch or other out-door games with your dog to get them exer-cise. Make sure you keep your dog wellhydrated during and after activities, espe-
cially in the hotter months,and do not push an olderor overweight dog pastits limit.

Q: I have inherited five pieces of Depres-sion Glass, but have no idea of the pattern.My mom thinks the pattern is from the1930s. I am enclosing some pictures andhope you can help me.
—Betty, Sun City West, ArizonaA: Your Depression Glass isn't as old as
you thought. The pattern is Forest Green andwas manufactured by Anchor Hocking GlassCompany during the early 1950s. It is a com-mon pattern and typical prices are a gob-let, $10; mixing bowl, $11; and a cup, $7.50.The company was located in both Lancast-er, Ohio, and Long Island City, New York.
***Q: I have more than 1,000 78-rpm re-
cords. Everyone tells me they have no value.I've been to all of the antiques shops inmy area and have not found anyone inter-ested in them.
—Greg, via e-mailA: I get dozens of letters such as yours
each month, and the answer is always thesame. Old 78-rpm discs are difficult to sellbecause it is almost impossible to find turnta-bles with the appropriate speed and needle.I recommend you try your luck on eBay.
***Q: I have a collection of about a dozen
fruit jars that are early and unusual. How
can I find out how much they are worth? —Sam, Spring Branch, Texas
A: Bill Schroeder is one of the foremostauthorities of fruit jars, and his nifty guide isconsidered a classic. 1000 Fruit Jars Pricedand Illustrated is user-friendly and should behelpful. It is $5.95 and available in print oreBook. You can access it by calling 1-800-626-5420, or writing Collector Books, P.O.Box 3009, Paducah, Kentucky 42002.
***Q: I prowl garage and estate sales, and
am especially interested in silver and ceram-ics. Can you recommend a pocket guideto help me identify marks?
—Barbara, Santa Fe, New MexicoA: Judith Miller's Antique Marks features
more than 6,000 marks to identify silver,ceramics, glass and other assorted treasures.It is $9.99 and fits in the pocket. You canorder a copy at amazon.com

Dear Dr. Roach: You recently wrotethat antihistamines used for sleep canincrease the risk of falls. Are there anysleep aids that don't increase fall risk?
—C.A.L.Answer: Since almost all medica-
tions are associated with fall risk, reduc-ing the overall number of medicationsshould be a goal for all of us who pre-scribe medication for older people. Somemedications are more risky than oth-ers, such as the antihistamines I men-tioned, but also prescription sleep aidssuch as Ambien, Lunesta, and Sonata,antidepressants such as amitriptyline(Elavil) and others, diazepam (Valium)and related drugs. Major tranquilizerssuch as Seroquel are high risk.
Insomnia itself increases fall risk,so effective treatment that doesn't usemedications that cause problems thenext day is the goal. Melatonin worksfor some people; melatonin 0.3 mgmight be effective and appears to havea lower risk of falls. Better still, non-drug treatment such as cognitive be-havior therapy, including sleep hygiene,has no risk of medication-associatedfalls and may reduce overall fall riskby improving sleep.
Basics of sleep hygiene include avoid-ing long (longer than 20 minutes) naps,avoiding bright light (including TV andcomputer) before bed, reserving the bedstrictly for sleep, and maintaining thesame bedtime and wake time every day.A CBT therapist can give much moredetailed and personalized information.
***Dear Dr. Roach:After a terrible bout
of IBS, my doctor tested me for C. diff,and it came back positive. He put meon an antibiotic and told me I was justa carrier. Can you please explain to mewhat it means to be a carrier? I wouldhate to think that I might pass it on tomy grandchildren by touching them,or changing their diapers, etc.
I work in a hospital and feel I havea dirty secret, because all I get is, justwash your hands. Any informationthat you may have on the subject wouldbe greatly appreciated.
—M.D.Answer: A carrier is someone who
harbors a condition but who has no symp-toms of the condition. There is a pos-sibility of passing on a condition whenyou are a carrier.
In your case, the bacteria Clostrid-ium dificile, universally called C. diff,is present in about 3 percent of allhealthy adults. However, somewherebetween 20 percent and 50 percent ofpatients in hospitals and long-term-
care facilities have asymptomatic C.diff. The spores of C. diff are very, verydifficult to eradicate and can be foundon many surfaces, and so hospital work-ers as well as patients may becomeinfected (with symptoms of diarrhea)or can be carriers. This may be howyou acquired the bacteria.
Current guidelines do not recom-mend treatment for carriers. The mostimportant way to prevent your passingon the infection is good hand-wash-ing. The best method is warm waterand soap after using the bathroom. (Myhospital recommends singing HappyBirthday in your head twice to be sureyou are washing long enough.) Alco-hol sanitizers are ineffective for C diff.By being meticulous in hand-washing,you can minimize the risk of passingon the bacteria.
Dr. Roach regrets that he is unableto answer individual letters, but will in-corporate them in the column wheneverpossible. Readers may email questionsto [email protected]. To view and order health pamphlets,visit www.rbmamall.com or write toGood Health, 628 Virginia Drive Or-lando, FL 32803.

Answers1. Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours,
released in 1970. 2 Martha and the Vandellas, in 1963.
It was written, as many Motownhits were, by the Holland–Dozier–Holland team. After a legal snit withMotown, the trio continued to writeunder the pseudonym Edythe Wayne.

It's one of a number of songs aboutgirls' names—Donna The PrimaDonna, Sally Go Round The Roses,Judy's Turn To Cry, Denise, andCandy Girl—all done in the sameyear, 1963. The fad must have runits course because 1964 saw only afew girl-name songs.

King Features
An interesting story playedout recently in Philadel-phia involving an assis-tant director, a manager,
and a psychic.In the past year, the Department of
Veterans Affairs office in Philadelphiahas been looked at by the Office of theInspector General for claims processinginaccuracy, manipulating claim dates,canceling pending claims, and more.
The new story: An assistant directorthrew a party at her home so a subor-dinate's wife could do psychic readingsfor employees. The subordinate was amanager. Each private reading cost $35,with a minimum of six people.
After the assistant director had an-other subordinate make all the arrange-ments, three employees agreed to attendthe party. An e-mail (that contained theassistant director's VA position title)went out to solicit the participation ofother employees to reach the six-personminimum. Eight employees ended upgoing. Rule: An employee can't use herposition to endorse a service for friends.
The Inspector General got involvedand did an investigation.
The assistant director claimed thatthe attendees were her friends, therebybreaking another rule: Bosses can't givepreferential treatment to subordinates.However, all the subordinates in atten-dance for a psychic reading complainedabout how long it was taking, and allleft immediately after their reading, notstaying to socialize despite the avail-ability of munchies, wine/beer/vodka.These were friends?
The VAOIG additionally made acriminal referral to the Department ofJustice for the manager's failure to reporthis wife's psychic income on his Officeof Government Ethics forms for twoyears running.
The VAOIG also discovered a num-ber of fun facts, among them that themanager had failed to claim his psy-chic wife's income on his tax returns.The VAOIG helpfully reported that fail-ure to the Internal Revenue Service aswell as to the Pennsylvania State Depart-ment of Revenue.
