THE WEST WARWICK ANGELS ARE LOOKING FOR FOSTER PARENTS The West Warwick Angels are in desperate need of foster parents for cats/kittens. They pay for food, litter, etc. They are a small group and have only a few foster parents currently. They would love to save more cats, but in order to do so they need more people to open their hearts and homes. This is an extremely rewarding opportunity to help animals that have never known love and trust. Please consider fostering. If you are interested, please email wwarwickangels@gmail.com. Thank you for considering.

There are those who would argue that today’s world is going to heck in a handbasket. I’ve always found it interesting when people complain about the breakdown of our world as we know it — I attempt to imagine their criteria for this dystopian future. Does it involve a computer takeover? Genetic tinkering? Just all-out trash human behavior? Here are several iconic dystopian fantasies to choose from, and a few lesser-known morsels of impending doom. May the odds be ever in your favor. The Matrix — Keanu Reeves stars as Neo, a hacker who is liberated from a simulated reality by the elusive Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) and learns the secret and terrible truth that the world is not what it seems. Dystopian cause: computers. Death Race 2000 — For camp, I prefer Roger Corman’s 1975 version with Sylvester Stallone and David Carradine as some of the competitors in a transcontinental race where points are clocked both by speed and the number and type of pedestrian kills. Dystopian cause: totalitarianism. Divergent — A worldwide war wipes out humanity, except in Chicago, where the remaining residents separate themselves into factions — the smart, the honest, the kind, the generous and the daring. Things get dicey when Tris (Shailene Woodley) tries to be more than one thing. Dystopian cause: war. The Hunger Games — The winner of a 13-district war subjugates the rest of the districts by culling two young people from each yearly to fight to the death in a reality show that is too real. They get more than they bargained for when Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence)

volunteers to take the place of her little sister. Dystopian cause: political machinations of terrible people. The Running Man — In the not too distant future, Arnold Schwarzenegger is a contestant in America’s most popular game show, where convicted criminals enter a gladiator-style arena to battle against mercenaries and other bloodthirsty killers to attempt to win their freedom. This film, made in 1987, takes place in 2019. Dystopian cause: economic collapse.
Lionsgate
Jennifer Lawrence in “The Hunger Games� Idiocracy — In this cult classic Mike Judge comedy, the military places an “Average Joe� and a duped prostitute in suspended animation, and they are accidentally abandoned until they wake up 500 years later in a seriously dumbed down future where they appear to be the smartest people on the planet. Dystopian cause: anti-intellectualism run amok. Never Let Me Go — A romantic tragedy based on Kazuo Ishiguro’s 2005 novel, three friends from boarding school navigate love and the future knowing that they are clones, alive only to be harvested for their organs. Dystopian cause: medical tinkering. Minority Report — In this futuristic society, intentions can be crimes, reported to the PreCrime division by sentient mutants who sense a crime before it happens. But is it still a crime if, once you know the future, you change it? Dystopian cause: overzealous mutant technology. Š 2020 King Features Synd., Inc.

unimportant. A lopsided pumpkin is not necessarily a bad pumpkin. Figure 1 pound of raw, untrimmed pumpkin for each cup finished pumpkin puree. To prepare the pumpkin for cooking, spread newspaper over your work surface. Start by carefully removing the stem with a sharp knife. If you are planning to roast the pumpkin seeds, smash or drop the pumpkin on a hard surface to break it open. In any case, remove the stem, scoop out the seeds and scrape away all of the stringy mass. A messy job, but it will pay off. You can cook the pumpkin by boiling, steaming, roasting or using the microwave to create your own fresh pumpkin puree. Directions for cooking and preparing pumpkin puree are as follows:
Depositphotos
Boiling/Steaming Method: Cut the pumpkin into rather large chunks. Rinse in cold water. Place pieces in a large pot with about a cup of water. The water does not need to cover the pumpkin pieces. Cover the pot and boil for 20 to 30 minutes or until tender, or steam for 10 to 12 minutes. Check for doneness by poking with a fork. Drain the cooked pumpkin in a colander. Reserve the liquid to use as a base for soup. Oven Method: Cut pumpkin in half, scraping away stringy mass and seeds. Rinse under cold water. Place pumpkin, cut side down, on a large cookie sheet. Bake at 350 F for one hour or until fork tender. Microwave Method: Cut pumpkin in half, place cut side down on a microwave-safe plate or tray. Microwave on high for 15 minutes, check for doneness at 1-2 minute intervals until fork tender.

Preparing the Puree: Allow cooked pumpkin to cool. Remove the peel using a small sharp knife and your fingers. Place pumpkin in a food processor and puree, or alternately use a food mill, ricer, strainer or potato masher. Freeze and store in 1-cup portions in a small freezer bag for up to one year.
SLOW COOKER PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE This delicious latte is the perfect way to use pumpkin puree and create a delicious drink for the winter months. 6 cups coffee 5 cups of whole milk 1 cup of heavy cream 1/2 cup of pumpkin puree (not pie filling) 4 teaspoons of vanilla extract 1/2 cup of sugar 3 teaspoons of cinnamon, plus more for sprinkling Whipped cream topping, optional 1.

A large pile of bright orange pumpkins is my visual celebration of the beginning of fall. References to pumpkins date back many centuries. The name pumpkin originated from the Greek word for “large melon,” which is “pepon.” “Pepon” was nasalized by the French into “pompon.” The English changed “pompon” to “Pumpion.” American colonists changed “pumpion” into “pumpkin.” The origin of pumpkin pie occurred when the colonists sliced off the pumpkin top, removed the seeds, and filled the insides with milk, spices and honey. The pumpkin was then baked in hot ashes. The bright orange color of pumpkin is a dead giveaway that pumpkin is loaded with an important antioxidant: beta-carotene. Betacarotene is one of the plant carotenoids converted to vitamin A in the body. In the conversion to vitamin A, beta carotene performs many important functions in overall health. Current research indicates that a diet rich in foods containing beta-carotene may reduce the risk of developing certain types of cancer and helps protect against heart disease. Betacarotene provides protection against other diseases as well as some degenerative aspects of aging. To select a pumpkin, look for one with 1 to 2 inches of stem left. If the stem is cut down too low the pumpkin will decay quickly or may be decaying at the time of purchase. Avoid pumpkins with blemishes and soft spots. It should be heavy, although shape is

Apple Pecan Granola Is Seasonal Specialty Although my taste buds aren't necessarily craving a popular pumpkin spice latte at local coffee shops, I'm eager to prepare traditional harvest foods, like roasted acorn squash soup or a loaf of pumpkin bread.
Wherever the spirit and tastes of fall take your family — whether to an apple orchard, pumpkin patch or nature center — check out this granola recipe when you get back home. Packed with dried apples, pecans, pumpkin seeds, cinnamon and lots of healthy oats, it captures the tastes and crisp feel of the season. Prepare it with your kids and store in a big, clear jar with a scoop inside for easy access on school days. Combined with milk and yogurt, it makes a convenient and healthy breakfast staple to keep the living easy during the morning rush out the door.
Make shopping for the healthy ingredients part of the cooking adventure with your kids. Discover how you can economize by purchasing most of the ingredients in bulk.

Heat the oven to 350 F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, or spray with nonstick spray. 2. Combine the oats, pecans, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a large mixing bowl. 3. Stir together the oil, syrup, egg whites and vanilla in a small bowl. Add to dry ingredients and toss well until fully coated. 4. Spread the mixture evenly on the baking sheet. Bake, stirring every 10 minutes, until lightly golden and toasted, about 25-30 minutes. Stir in apples in last 10 minutes. 5. Cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container up to a week. Makes about 7 cups. NOTE: Substitute brown sugar with honey or agave syrup, and combine with liquid ingredients before tossing with dry ingredients. *** Donna Erickson's award-winning series "Donna's Day" is airing on public television nationwide.

Peacefully coexisting during a pandemic By DON FOWLER “Don, will you please close the refrigerator door,” Joyce shouted as I stood there trying to decide between Diet Pepsi and iced tea. That was our major confrontation for day 150 of being together almost 24 hours a day. We discovered that we were getting along better during our shelter in place than we have in our sixty plus years of marriage. We had learned to put aside most of those little irritants and pet peeves and peaceably coexist. While psychologists are writing articles about the difficulties of living closely together for long periods of time, and counseling couples who are having problems coping with the situation, many of us have grown stronger in our relationship. In our eighties, with a variety of pre-conditions, we are well aware of the precautions we need to take during the pandemic. Working together, we have yet to need home care or an assisted living facility.
seniors coping with covid-19
Tara and Mike
Tara is a veterinarian; Mike is a high school teacher. They met on line a couple of years ago, dated, found themselves to be compatible, and moved into a small apartment together. Weeks before the pandemic they bought a large house in a rural Connecticut town, became engaged, and began planning a fall wedding. Both are cat lovers, spending much of their time fostering cats (Feline home care) from Tara’s clinic, while fixing up their new home, and spending a lot of time together. The pandemic has brought them closer together.
Alex and Larisa
Mike and Robin
Alex and Larisa graduated from medical school together, went to work at the same hospital, moved in together, and, just before the pandemic hit, moved to Boston, where they work in different hospitals. Sharing a condo overlooking Fenway Park, and looking forward to an active social life in the city, they soon found themselves facing long hours at their chosen professions and coming home to their small condo completely exhausted. Larisa is isolated from her family in Brazil, and the two have little time or opportunity to see his family and their mutual friends. Finally, they both were able to take a week off and spend it together on Martha’s Vineyard. They sent a photo to Alex’s mom showing the two of them at Gay Head, with Larissa’s hand over Alex’s heart. What was that on her finger? Yes, it was an engagement ring. They are back at work now, two front-line heroes doing their individual jobs, and returning home to be together, survivors of the pandemic era.

Scott and Sandy
Scott and Sandy live in a trailer in Connecticut. His casino job was eliminated and she has disabilities that prevent her from working. They have spent the last four and a half months making face masks, most of which they have donated to the local schools and community organizations. They are also selling a small portion of the masks to put food on the table. Scott’s skills, which he did not get from his father, have allowed him to do some handyman work and to turn his small trailer into a comfortable home. Their marriage has grown closer by working together.
Mike and Robin have been married for many years. Mike is a retired doctor, while Robin still works as a nurse educator. Robin had been working long hours, traveling to two campuses in Connecticut from their home in East Greenwich, while Mike stayed at home, caring for the house and dog. The pandemic found Robin at home in front of her computer doing distance teaching. With less travel, they have again been able to spend more time together, and actually sit down at a reasonable time to enjoy dinner together.
Our Children and Grandchildren Give Us Strength
We have missed seeing our grandchildren, children and their spouses over this long period of social distancing, back take much comfort in what they are doing to keep their relationships strong while making a difference in the world. Joyce and I look back at our lives together, content that our love was strong enough to survive many obstacles, including a pandemic. Although we miss seeing our grown children and grandchildren, we live with the knowledge that they are our heroes.
We are almost ready to open our brand new, safe and secure memory support neighborhood!

Only American Standard has OVER 140 years of experience and offers the Liberation Walk-In Bathtub.
With most of the unconventional year of 2020 in the rear-view mirror, my daughter Kate and her husband Ray suggested that we revive the tradition of the Sunday family dinner. Since Sunday dinner is a relic of past generations, my wife Kathy and I were happy to agree. The idea appealed to my deeply Italian legacy and those Sunday feasts always evoked a sense of heightened Epicurean delight! For a little historical perspective I’ll hit the rewind button on the time continuum to an era remarkedly different from today’s maelstrom of 24-hour, seven day a week life, orchestrated by the ceaseless cacophony of electronic noise. I was born in 1949. In the decades of 1950 and 1960, almost all manufacturing and commerce were paused on Sundays. The presses in the jewelry shops went silent. Neighborhood grocery and variety stores were closed. Gas stations and drug stores were locked. And the department stores (BRM-Before Retail Malls) that dotted Main Street in cities and towns across Rhode Island were abandoned, except for a few roaming security guards. Thankfully, neighborhood Italian bakeries were open to serve the crush of people who crowded into the shops before and after church. One of my most vivid childhood memories is stopping at Palmieri’s Bakery on Ridge Street at the edge of Federal Hill after Mass at the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul for loafs of hot Italian bread just slid out of the oven. Breaking off a piece of that hard-crusted bread and savoring the still-warm inside was a prize that far outweighed anything hidden in a Cracker Jack box. The Sunday meal, starting with macaroni slathered in the gravy (red “pasta sauce” for the
uninitiated), was served about noon. Sunday dinner had already been heralded by the Saturday afternoon aroma of simmering gravy, flavoring the meatballs, pork chops, and braciola (rolled meat seasoned with parsley and other secret herbs) floating throughout the house and tantalizing the taste buds. Chicken and roasted potatoes followed the macaroni. After dinner, we would pile into the car and join one of my aunts and uncles for “coffee an’ (bakery treats or homemade desserts). It was considered to be a serious breach of visitation etiquette if you showed up empty handed. Looking back, I realize that there was an aura of comfort and reassuring feeling of security in the Sunday dinner tradition. Now let’s hit the fast forward button to 2020. Reviving the Sunday family dinner tradition was mostly my son-in-law Ray’s idea. He has very happy memories of Sunday dinners at his grandmother’s house and wanted his children to have the same connection to their history and ethnic roots. In concessions to present day reality, we alternate the site of the Sunday feast between our house and my daughter’s house, conveniently located just down the street. To accommodate Sunday work schedules of my son-in-law at a grocery store chain and my granddaughters at a local restaurant, dinner is served around 6:00 p.m. For Kathy and I, Sunday family dinners have taken on added significance. We spend most of the winter in Florida and renewing the tradition offers us a few more precious opportunities to share in the lives of our children and grandchildren. Twins Kailyn and Sophia will graduate from high school this year and will be off to college in September. Nicholas is involved in ice hock-

ey and other activities. My son, Benjamin and his wife Renee live in New Jersey with our two-year old grandson Benjamin, Jr., and our son Matthew has lived in Las Vegas for more than 18 years. At Sunday family dinner, we enjoy our time together, and laugh and talk before the demands of the week begin again on Monday morning. Dinner conversation ranges from school, sports, and current affairs, to extended family news. Kathy has six brothers and sisters living in Rhode Island, Maine, New Hampshire, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. When you add spouses and 13 nieces and nephews, there is always some information that needs to be updated and discussed. We live in an age where the pace of life can be exhausting. Communications can be raucous, repetitive, and riling. Work, school, and social obligations can compress time into frantic bursts. Our Sunday family dinners give us a chance to relax, refresh our minds and bodies, be grateful for our many life gifts, and express our love and support for each other. When finishing a column, I often look for a final affirmation that will to serve as an exclamation point to the subject at hand. Josiah, an ancient Hebrew king, advised. “Think of your family, every day and hereafter, don’t let the busy world of today keep you from showing how much you love and appreciate your family.” Josiah was as much a visionary as he was a king. He previewed the challenges of life in the 21st century. Josiah knew nothing of the Sunday family dinner; but he instinctively appears to realize that it has restorative, refreshing, and invigorating potential. Josiah reminds us that time-honored traditions such as the Sunday family dinners are an important part of life, “every day and hereafter.” Larry Grimaldi is a retired freelance writer living in North Providence.

retirement sparks by elaine m. decker
Flaneuring During the Pandemic Most of us seniors have had to change our lifestyles during the pandemic. We’re spending more time at home and less time (if any) socializing with friends. We seldom go out other than to the supermarket or drug store. When (if) we do, it is usually for a walk somewhere that will not have us encountering other people. It turns out there’s a name for a particular way of walking around: flaneuring. I found this helpful definition from an Amazon post for the book, The Art of Flaneuring: How to Wander with Intention and Discover a Better Life: “Originally used to describe well-to-do French men who would stroll city streets in the nineteenth century, flaneur has evolved to generally mean someone who wanders with intention.” One of my friends from college read the book. He has embraced flaneuring with his wife and grandkids during the shutdown. They do nature walks and report on plants, unusual trees and rocks and occasional forest denizens. His post titled: Flaneuring— Part Three includes photos of a snake he and his grandson untangled from some netting. The boy put the critter in a pond and it swam off. No report on whether the reptile had been flaneuring when it got caught in the net. I’ve taken to flaneuring closer to home. Specifically, I wander around with intention within our house and along the outer perimeter. Here are some of the things I find on these walks. First there are the tissues, paper towels and napkins that my husband drops as he moves about. I usually find several of these each day. He doesn’t walk with intention; he goes around in a fog most of the time. I pick up after him with intention. Then I take a spin around the first floor, looking for errant jigsaw puzzle pieces that my cat Kallie has carried off. I usually find those shortly after she’s taken them, so I can match them to the puzzle I’m working on or a recently finished one. I take photos of each completed puzzle, so there’s a void where the piece belongs. Not long ago, I found one on the dining room rug for a puzzle underway. Nearby was a totally dif-
around the perimeter of our abode. We may be sequestered here during the pandemic, but I can still find some things worth noting as I wander with intention. The truth is it doesn’t take much to entertain me as long as it breaks the monotony. I’m not yet an expert flaneur, but I’m working on it.
ferent piece. I still haven’t figured out what puzzle it came from. Less common, but equally important to keeping the place tidy, are the throw ups that my cats have left for me. Sometimes these are hairballs. Sometimes they are little piles of dried up kibble that escaped my notice for who knows how long. It’s amazing how well those can blend in with the patterns of our Oriental rugs. I’ve found that flaneuring in stocking feet is a good way to discover them. Outside the house, I wander with the intention of finding the golf balls that have been shanked from the 13th tee into the side or back of our condo. We’re located next to the fairway and get hit at least four dozen times a year. Often I hear them hit the house with a crack so loud I’m afraid they’ve taken out a window. So far this year, they’ve just come through a screen onto the porch floor, scaring the cats that had been lounging out there. If I meander outside with adequate intention, I wend my way behind the bushes below the back of our place. We’re located on the side of a steep slope and the plantings are meant to hold the soil in place. The groundskeepers trim them back less and less each year. Right now, I can barely sidle behind them to recover the errant balls that are often back there. My exterior flaneuring seldom turns up items as interesting as the snake that my college friend found. I did recently discover that a petunia had taken root in front of our garage. I didn’t plant any petunias this year. I don’t know if this seeded from last
year or blew there from a neighbor’s yard. Maybe a bird dropped a seed. Last week I noticed that the pot of geraniums on our back deck has a squash plant growing at its edge. Or maybe it’s a pumpkin. The blossoms die before I can identify them. Small but interesting oddities in the midst of what could otherwise be a boring walk

seniors coping with covid-19
Tips for dementia caregivers during the pandemic Caregivers play vital roles in the lives of the people they look after. That’s especially true for people caring for dementia patients, many of whom require round-the-clock help every day. A caregiver’s role is never easy, but the demands have been even greater during the global COVID-19 pandemic. Despite social distancing guidelines and recommendations to reduce interactions with those vulnerable to COVID-19, including the elderly, dementia caregivers must continue to help patients in need. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that older adults are at the highest risk of severe illness from COVID-19. That puts dementia caregivers in difficult positions, as data from
the World Health Organization indicates that age is the strongest known risk factor for dementia. The Alzheimer’s Association urges dementia caregivers to follow guidelines established by the CDC as they continue to provide care for dementia patients. • Wear face masks or cloth coverings. Face masks or cloth coverings should be worn when tending to dementia patients. This includes when preparing meals for dementia patients or cleaning their homes. The CDC urges caregivers to wear personal protective equipment when providing personal or medical services to people with dementia, including when helping them bathe. • Arrange for a substitute caregiver if you are ill or exhibiting any
Medication safety during CoViD-19 (Family Features) During the COVID-19 pandemic, staying healthy is top of mind. For individuals at risk for or diagnosed with COVID-19, the addition of new treatments may pose another medical danger: adverse drug events (ADEs). ADEs cause an estimated 150,000 deaths per year in the United States and 1.3 million emergency room visits, resulting in nearly 350,000 people hospitalized for further treatment. The experts at Tabula Rasa HealthCare, a team of clinical pharmacists building solutions for personalized medication safety, recommend several actions to improve medication safety and prevent ADEs: 1. Keep an updated list of all your medications. Ask your doctor(s) for a list of all your medications and update it with over-the-counter medications to ensure you both have a complete profile. Document why you take each medicine, the dose, frequency and time of day. Always have access to it by, for example, creating a secure note in your phone for safekeeping. Also, share a copy with a loved one in case of an emergency.
symptoms of COVID-19. Caregivers should have a backup caregiver lined up in case they feel ill or if they are exhibiting any symptoms of COVID-19 or if they have been exposed to anyone with the virus. The CDC notes that symptoms of COVID-19 include fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, and muscle or body aches. A full list of COVID-19 symptoms can be found at www.cdc.gov. • Wash your hands frequently. Frequent handwashing can help dementia caregivers keep their patients safe. Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds upon arriving at your patient’s home, and continue to wash your hands frequently throughout the day. If visitors arrive, insist
they follow the same handwashing routine. If you cough or sneeze during the day, wash your hands immediately, and always wash hands before preparing meals. • Look for virtual programs that encourage social engagement. Virtual gatherings have become the new normal as people try to maintain connections with family and friends while respecting social distancing guidelines. The Alzheimer’s Association urges dementia caregivers to consider pro-
2. Ask your pharmacist to review your medication regimen. Make an appointment with your pharmacist to review your medications, including prescription, non-prescription, supplements, herbals and recreational drugs. While you may see multiple health care providers, your pharmacist can provide a holistic review of your regimen. Ask questions and try to understand the purpose of each medication. Your pharmacist likely has access to technological tools that identify risk for preventable ADEs. For example, Tabula Rasa HealthCare’s MedWise is a one-of-a-kind technology solution that compares how medications interact together. Using this unique solution, pharmacists may assist you with managing your medications safer and smarter. If you are not aware if your health plan covers pharmacist visits, consider selecting a plan that does. 3. Ask about the benefits of a “pharmacogenomic” test. If you have a chronic illness and take multiple medications, ask your pharmacist for a test that identifies your personal gene make-up that can affect the way certain medications interact with each other in your body. With this data, your pharmacist can determine if your medications will work as expected, or if they may put you at risk for ADEs. With tools that store this data, your pharmacist can personalize your medication regimen and help reduce your risk for ADEs
grams that offer virtual activities that encourage dementia patients to engage socially. Such engagement can lift patients’ spirits and remaining socially active supports brain health. Caring for dementia patients during the COVID-19 outbreak requires embracing various strategies to reduce patients’ risk of exposure to the potentially deadly virus. TF20B449
. 4. Ask your pharmacist about risks with every new medication. If you are diagnosed with COVID-19, talk to your pharmacist before taking any new medications to determine if they may increase your risk for ADEs. When adding or removing medications to or from your regimen, it is important to understand how these changes impact your risk for an ADE. Another tool your pharmacist may use is the MedWise Risk Score to help you better understand and measure medication risk with changes. Your pharmacist may adjust how you take your medications or recommend an alternative that is safer for you. 5. Develop a routine for taking your medications and stick with it. Be consistent when you take your medications to avoid ADEs. Your pharmacist can provide you with a unique medication profile that outlines the time to take each of your medications for safety. Setting reminders such as an alert on your cell phone or sticky notes can help remind you to take your medication on time. Pharmacists are medication safety “quarterbacks,” helping optimize your medication regimen, avoid ADEs and assure you and your loved ones stay healthy and safe, during and after COVID-19.

The Heart Can’t Wait
What to know about AFib and COVID-19 As a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, people with certain health conditions may be delaying or forgoing some healthcare. People shouldn’t ignore symptoms or delay seeking treatment, especially when it comes to progressive heart conditions such as atrial fibrillation (AFib). Here are some things to know about AFib amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Understand AFib AFib is an irregular heart rhythm that can increase the risk of stroke and heart failure by five times, according to research published in “The BMJ.” AFib affects more than 5.5 million people in the United States, according to the American College of Cardiology, and may cause symptoms including, but not limited to, palpitations, fatigue, shortness of breath or difficulty exercising. In fact, AFib patient and former professional tennis player, Joel Bailey, had repeated episodes of AFib before recognizing that something was not right with his heart. “For several years, I had symptoms of anxiety and fatigue but didn’t know they were indications of AFib,” Bailey said. “As an athlete, I tried to push through but quickly knew something wasn’t right and I couldn’t wait any longer to see a heart specialist.”
Don’t Delay Treatment Patients with AFib shouldn’t delay seeking treatment, even during a pandemic. According to the “Journal of Atrial Fibrillation,” AFib is a progressive disease that may become more severe if left untreated. Medications are of-
ten the first attempt at treating AFib, but if medications don’t work, catheter ablation is another option. Catheter ablation is a minimally invasive procedure performed by electrophysiologists (heart rhythm specialists). According to research published by the Heart Rhythm Society, catheter ablation may improve quality of life and allow patients to get back to doing the things they love. In fact, a study published in the “Journal of the American College of Cardiology” has shown that 88%* of patients were free of AFib episodes one year after catheter ablation when treated with a contact force catheter, and stayed within the preset range. “It’s critical not to delay treatment due to the pandemic,” said Dr. David Lan, electrophysiologist and Bailey’s doctor. “A delay in treatment, such as catheter ablation, can decrease the success in patient outcomes or result in complications like heart failure.” Bailey has no regrets about having his catheter ablation procedure amid COVID-19. “I feel like I have more energy and I feel much better, mentally and physically,” Bailey said. “I feel like my old self again.” To learn more, or to find an electrophysiologist near you, visit GetSmartAboutAFib. com.
“For several years, I had symptoms of anxiety and fatigue but didn’t know they were indications of AFib.”
- Joel Bailey
*Success defined as freedom from any atrial arrhythmia (atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, atrial tachycardia) 12 months post-procedure when operator remained in the preset contact force range. Further sub-analysis showed that when the contact force was within investigator-selected range ≥85% of time, success was increased by 21% to 88% (≥85%: n = 32; <85%: n = 73).

The A, B and D’s of Medicare Explained Every year at this time, I’m sure it seems you get bombarded with multiple offers from all types of media, about how they can save money on the newest Medicare products, and it all sounds too good to be true. It’s very overwhelming just trying to understand what Medicare is offering, and you feel like you need a PH.D or at least a great deal of patience. The consumer really just wants a straight forward answer. I like to break this down by pointing out the similarities to building your own home. Part A: You need a solid foundation. Good Foundations are built on solid ground, that’s your Medicare: Part A, which is your Hospitalization Plan. That covers your hospital stay, nursing homes and rehab. Without that you are stuck in the mud. Part B: What comes next is the Framing. That’s your Medicare: Part B, which covers 80 % of your medical visits, blood work, etc. To cover the other 20% you would purchase a Medicare “supplement plan”. That will cover anything not covered by Part B. Part D: Now we need a Roof to go with that house and that’s where Medicare: Part D comes into play - your prescription drug plan (PDP). So there you have it, you
built your first “HOME” - an Original Medicare Plan. Now that you have the body of the house, you just need the mechanicals which in this case are the co-pays, the deductibles, and the waiting periods to name a few Now for some people they prefer a house that’s already built for them by a developer, and ready to move in.. That’s where a “ Medicare Advantage Plan” comes in, and your developer is the insurance company. They will have the plans already packaged for you. This plan is called Medicare: Part C . So now you combine Part A + B + your “Medicare Supplement Plan” + Part D your (PDP) “Prescription Drug Plan”, to come up with a “Medicare Advantage Plan”. Now what’s the difference between the Original Medicare and Advantage Medicare? State law requires that all insurance companies provide the same level of consideration when it comes to either Original or Advantage Plans. What does change is their level of customer service, their company’s ratings, and how long they have been in the Medicare game to name a few. But what also differs between these companies is not just their possible rate increases or decreases but what
new benefits they carry. These benefits may include dental, vision, hearing, etc. and may add on additional cost to your monthly premium. Also be aware of some companies’ outrageous ads, claiming that their premium is zero, getting the consumer to think they are getting free insurance. No! A low or zero monthly premium will likely have a high deductible, meaning you, the insured, pays first before the Insurance Company pays. So please, read the fine print. Because of changes that happen ever year, a review of your current plan should be looked at by a licensed health insurance professional. Look around for companies that fit your life style and updated health status, but be mindful that not every benefit or policy is available in your state. Christopher J.

Weighing Medicare Part D options is crucial this year (StatePoint) You likely hear the same word of advice every fall: review your Medicare Part D plan. While you may be tempted to stick with what you have, it’s important to remember that plan specifics change annually, your health needs are always evolving, and as this year has shown, unexpected global events can impact your health and finances. For all these reasons, doing your homework is not only important, it has the power to substantially reduce your out-of-pocket costs. “Reviewing your Medicare Part D options is the best way to ensure your prescription needs are met affordably in the coming year,” says Kelle Turner, Express Scripts Medicare Part D expert. “COVID-19 has highlighted how having the right coverage is critical to helping you stay safe and healthy.” To help those turning 65 and older make sense of their options, Turner offers the following tips: • Don’t procrastinate: Part D enrollment is taking place from Oct. 15 through Dec. 7 this year. If you’re like most people, you may be inclined to delay your decision. Indeed, nine out of 10 people wait until the last minute to select a plan, according to Express Scripts. However, the selection process can be complicated, so don’t deprive yourself of the time needed to thoughtfully comparison shop. Factor in how the COVID-19 landscape has potentially impacted your selection process. With many in-person resources (e.g., local Medicare workshops, working with a broker or agent, etc.) being conducted virtually or requiring advance scheduling this year, you can get ahead of the game by starting early.
One good resource to check out is RoadmapForMedicare.com, a free access website now offering short educational videos, recorded webinars and articles with tips to select the plan that’s best for you. The site also features FAQs and expert advice so you can better assess your options. • Look beyond premiums: While reviewing your options, look at the multiple factors which can affect your overall costs over the course of the year. While a lower premium might save you money upfront, these plans can have much higher copay-
ments, which over time can add up.
exposure to coronavirus.
• Check coverage: Plans change annually, so don’t assume that because your medications were covered under a certain plan last year that they will be covered again this year. Before enrolling or reenrolling, check that your current drugs will be covered. Likewise, check out each plan’s pharmacy network and what is covered to ensure that it meets your needs. For example, you may find that right now, your top priority is the safety and convenience of home delivery of prescriptions drugs in order to reduce your chances of
• Get savvy: Free expert advice can help you navigate the selection process and make informed decisions about your healthcare. Be sure to look for trusted sources who can provide the information you need to pick the plan that will work best for you and your budget. Take a closer look at your Medicare Part D choices. In these uncertain times, it is particularly important to be prepared to weather whatever comes your way.

IRS extends Economic Impact Payment registration deadline The deadline to register for an Economic Impact Payment using the Non-Filers tool is extended to November 21, 2020. The IRS urges people who don’t typically file a tax return – and haven’t received an Economic Impact Payment – to register as quickly as possible using the Non-Filers: Enter Info Here tool on IRS.gov. The tool will not be available after November 21. This additional time is solely for those who haven’t registered or received their EIP and don’t normally file a tax return. For taxpayers who requested an extension of time to file their 2019 tax return, that deadline was October 15. Most eligible U.S. taxpayers automatically received their Economic Impact Payment. Others who don’t have a filing obligation need to use the Non-Filers tool to register with the IRS to get up to $1,200. Typically,
this includes people who receive little or no income. The Non-Filers tool is secure. It is designed for people with incomes typically below $24,400 for married couples, and $12,200 for singles who could not be claimed as a dependent by someone else. This includes couples and individuals who are experiencing homelessness. Anyone using the Non-Filers tool can speed up the arrival of their payment by choosing to receive it by direct deposit. Those not choosing this option will get a check. Beginning two weeks after they register, people can track the status of their payment using the Get My Payment tool, available only on IRS.gov. For additional information, please visit IRS.gov.

Tips to shop for a plan at home (StatePoint) Every year, eligible individuals can shop for a health plan during Medicare’s Annual Election Period (AEP), which runs from Oct. 15 through Dec. 7. Doing so can potentially improve your coverage, lower your costs or both. The options are many, including Original Medicare, Medicare Advantage (MA) plans, Medicare Supplement plans and Prescription Drug Plans. According to Aparna Abburi, president of the Medicare Advantage business at Cigna, one of the nation’s largest insurers, those concerned about COVID-19 exposure have a number of ways to shop. If you’re computer savvy, visit plan websites like www.cigna.com/medicare or Medicare’s Plan Finder at Medicare.gov. You might even be able to attend a virtual educational session. If you prefer phone, call individual plans or independent brokers representing the health plan you’re considering. You can also request a face-to-face meeting, but be sure to follow the COVID-19 safety
precautions outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Abburi said you’ll want to think about the following when picking a plan: Review changes. In late September, health plans send their MA customers a document called the Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) with information about costs, benefits, available doctors and facilities for the upcoming year. Check this document to see if anything in your plan will change. Weigh extras. Pay attention to extra benefits not available with Original Medicare but which may be built into an MA plan at no additional cost, such as dental, vision, transportation or even an allowance for purchasing certain overthe-counter items. In these times, you might be especially interested in benefits that help you stay healthy while safe at home, such as telehealth, prescription drug delivery and in-home fitness programs. Know your network. Beyond cost, make sure the
plan’s network includes your favorite facilities and doctors. Are you okay seeking care within a network? These kinds of choices should be guided by your own personal goals and preferences. Consider costs. To estimate total costs, first, know the plan’s premium or monthly cost. Second, check for out-of-pocket costs, including copays and deductibles on doctor and hospital visits and prescription drugs. Finally, check to see what the cost will be if you need to see a specialist. In some plans, you pay more for going outside your network. Don’t forget prevention. Many MA plans cover preventive health screenings beyond those covered by Original Medicare. Talk to your doctor about which screenings are important for you given your age and health status. While it’s smart to minimize your risk to COVID-19, you still want to make sure you’re getting preventive and other necessary care. Your doctor will have proper safety protocols in place.

Volunteer safely during the pandemic Volunteers are vital to the survival of many charitable organizations. Without people willing to offer their time and expertise free of charge, many nonprofits would find it difficult, if not impossible, to meet their missions. The global pandemic that begin in late 2019 and continued into 2020 changed many aspects of life as the world knew it, and that includes volunteering. Social distancing measures and stay-at-home mandates from state and local governments discouraged people from leaving their homes, while various health organizations warned aging men and women to stay home as much as possible. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that the risk for severe illness from COVID-19 increases with age. In recognition of that threat, many retirees who were heavily involved in volunteering prior to the pandemic were forced to cease working as volunteers, which could have a negative effect on their mental health as the pandemic continues. A report from the Mayo Clinic Health System noted that adults over age 60 experienced greater life satisfaction and greater positive changes in their perceived health as a result of volunteering. Many people have continued to volunteer during the pandemic, and those that want to do so can take these steps to make sure their efforts to give back are as safe as possible. • Speak with your physician first. Anyone, but especially seniors, who wants to volunteer during the pandemic should discuss those aspirations with their physicians prior to offering their services to charita-
ble organizations. Doctors can discuss the acute and chronic threats posed by the COVID-19 virus and examine each individual’s medical history to help potential volunteers decide if working with a local charity is safe. In addition, doctors can check patients for COVID-19 symptoms and even have them tested to make sure they won’t be putting anyone in danger should they decide to volunteer. • Contact the organization prior to volunteering. Some organizations may not be allowing potentially at-risk volunteers to perform in-person tasks. Contact the organization you hope to work with prior to signing up to confirm your eligibility, but also to discuss the safety protocols they’ve put in place to protect the health of their volunteers. • Monitor your own health. If you’ve signed up to volunteer, it’s vital that you monitor your own health. Health officials believe the COVID-19 virus has spread so rapidly for a number of reasons, including the likelihood that many people have had the virus but shown no symptoms. Charitable organizations will no doubt assess the health of each volunteer when they show up to work, but volunteers also should make such assessments on their own. Check your temperature each day and familiarize yourself with the symptoms of COVID-19. If you suspect you are unwell or are even slightly under the weather, contact the charity and tell them you won’t be showing up that day. Operating with an abundance of caution during the pandemic can save lives. • Consider virtual volunteering. Virtual volunteering is a safe way to give back that won’t expose
volunteers or others to the COVID-19 virus. Charitable organizations need behind-the-scenes help just as much as they need volunteers with their boots on the ground. Virtual volunteers can help with fundraising efforts and event planning, but also help charities overcome the logistical challenges of operating and meeting their missions during the pandemic. Prior to volunteering during the pandemic, prospective volunteers can follow numerous steps to ensure volunteering is safe, both for them and the people they’re trying to help

October 19, 2020
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might be growing impatient with a situation that seems to resist efforts to resolve it. But staying with it raises the odds that you’ll find a way to a successful resolution. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Travel and kinship are strong in the Bovine’s aspect this week. This would be a good time to combine the two and take a trip to see family members for a pre-holiday get-together. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A colleague could make a request you’re not comfortable with. If so, say so. Better to disappoint someone by sticking with your principles than disappoint yourself if you don’t. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The Moon Child’s ability to adapt to life’s ebbs and flows helps you deal with the changes that you might confront at work or at home, or both. Things settle down by the week’s end. LEO (July 23 to August 22) It’s a good week for Leos and Leonas to get some long-outstanding business matters resolved. Then go ahead and plan a fun-filled family getaway weekend with the mate and the cubs. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A possible workplace change seems promising. If you decide to look into it, try not to form an opinion on just a small part of the picture: Wait for the full image to develop.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A newcomer helps keep things moving. There might be some bumpy moments along the way, but at least you’re heading in the right direction. You win praise for your choices. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You could be pleasantly surprised by how a decision about one thing opens up an unexpected new option. Also, assistance on a project could come from a surprising source. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) With more information to work with, you might now be able to start the process that could lead to a major change. Reserve the weekend for family and friends. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) This could be a good time to begin gathering information that will help you turn that long-held idea into something substantive. A personal matter might need extra attention. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) That new challenge might carry some surprises. But you should be able to handle them using what you already know. That new supporter should be there to lend assistance. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Someone might be trying to disguise his or her true motives. But the perceptive and perspicacious Pisces should have little or no problem finding the truth in all that foggy rhetoric. BORN THIS WEEK: You can always rely on your people skills to help you find solutions to problems others often give up on.
