We all want to save a dollar every place we can. Discounts aimed at seniors are a good way to get our attention, but now and then it’s just not a good idea to sign up. For example, if you’re low income, Amazon Prime offers a reduced-price membership. With Prime you get free shipping, access to movies and music, and more. Your membership is only $5.95 per month -- after you furnish an image of your Social Security, Medicaid (not Medicare), TANF or SNAP card. You’ll need to renew this every year to keep getting the discount to ensure you’re still on the program. You can stay on this reduced rate for four years. The dilemma is that you’re providing your personal information -- Medicaid number, Social Security number and so on -- to people you don’t know. Where does that information end up? If you cancel your membership, is that information destroyed? Reduced prescription costs are
available at certain drugstore chains, but generally on a limited basis, perhaps one day per month. One chain will offer to let you link a new account with them to your existing AARP membership. With another one, should you prefer not to give them your email address, they’re more than happy to take your name and phone number instead. A number of phone companies have reduced plans for seniors. But they do verify your age. With two of them you need to go into the store with a valid ID. With another they’ll use the information they already have on file from when you started your original service with them. How securely have they kept that information? Before you snap up a senior discount deal, consider what you need to give up to get that discount. Think about whether the information you give can be used for identity theft.

Travel the world at Art on Main in Old Town La Quinta Treat yourself to a day of cultural enchantment and live music at Art on Main Street on Saturday, March 12 at 10 a.m., with over 70 artists showing and selling their paintings, jewelry, mixed media, photography, ceramics, glass, woodwork, textiles, sculptures and more. This outdoor art market is an Old Town tradition, set amidst Main Street’s charming cafés and boutiques.

style in bold and bright watercolors. Many artists hail from southern California while others are originally from foreign countries, expressing a diverse world view and a global influence. Other artisans might include photographer and world-traveler, Laurent Martres, jewelry designer Victor Yurivilca from Peru and Itai Chazan from Israel, who recently opened Meyave Gallery on Main Street and creates contemporary and African art with raw, imported stone in collaboration with Zimbabwe artists.

A toothsome tale A guy walks into Mount Sinai hospital in New York City and tells the doctors there that he’s having trouble breathing through his nose. His problem started several years ago but it took him some time to address it, according to the Association of Mature American Citizens. Surgeons, Drs. Sagar Khanna and
Michael Turner, checked it out and found that a tooth, measuring more than half an inch, had been growing in his nose for quite some time. It is indeed a rare occurrence, but an Intranasal tooth is not unheard of; there have been others who have suffered from the condition and it, most likely, will happen again.

On March 11, 1942, U.S. Gen. Douglas MacArthur abandons the island of Corregidor under orders from President Franklin Roosevelt. Left behind were 90,000 American and Filipino troops, who would soon succumb to the Japanese offensive. Only one-third of those left behind survived to see MacAuthur’s return in January 1945. On March 12, 1969, the London drug squad appears at house of Beatle George Harrison and his wife Pattie Boyd with a warrant and drug-sniffing canines. Sgt.

On March 13, 1836, Texan Gen. Sam Houston begins a series of strategic retreats to buy time to train his ill-prepared army, which consisted of 374 poorly equipped men. A month later, his newly trained army won a stunning victory against Mexico’s Santa Anna. On March 14, 1950, the FBI institutes the “Ten Most Wanted Fugitives” list. Since its debut, hundreds of criminals on the list have been apprehended or located, many as a result of tips from the public. On March 15, 1901, paintings by the late Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh are shown in Paris, causing a sensation across the art world. Van Gogh had died by suicide, and in his lifetime he had sold only one painting. On March 16, 1945, the west Pacific volcanic island of Iwo Jima is declared secured by the U.S. military after weeks of fierce fighting. More than 6,000 Marines died fighting for the island, along with almost all the 21,000 Japanese defenders (c) 2022 Hearst Communications, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Top-Secret Ghost Army: The Stuff of Legends It takes a certain kind of soldier to create diversions on the spot, pretend to be a much larger unit than they are and believably impersonate others, but that’s exactly what the top-secret Ghost Army did in World War II. Over 1,000 men, with their actions, saved the lives of an estimated 30,000 soldiers during the war. Their deceptions were stuff of legend, with 1,000 men pretending to be over 20,000. The 23rd
Headquarters Special Troops and the 3133rd Signal Service Company created make-believe headquarters, whole divisions and fake convoys, all with the purpose of deceiving the enemy about the size and location of Army units. Using recordings, they created the impression of large armored units and faked radio traffic, even copying the Morse code style of others. They used inflatable airplanes, rubber tanks, troops and jeeps that they’d pump up with air compressors, laid down fake tank tracks in the dirt and told tall tales in local cafes to spread false information to the enemy. They could turn on a dime, suddenly appearing miles closer than the enemy believed they were. Now, years after the fact, they are finally being acknowledged and recognized. In February, the Congressional Gold Medal Act
was signed, awarding the medal to both groups, after they were declassified in 1996. To read more about the Ghost Army, go to the Ghost Army Legacy Project (www.ghostarmylegacyproject.org). Be sure to see the Archives for journals kept by the soldiers from those units, as well as the Secrecy and Leaks file. See ghostarmy.com for even more information. (Don’t miss the pictures of all their gadgets and equipment.) Look for “The Ghost Army” documentary on PBS stations and on Netflix. It was first shown in 2013. Additionally, look for the future film that’s to be directed by Ben Affleck. At this writing, there are only nine surviving Ghost Army veterans, all of them nearly 100 years old.
