What’s New? went to my doctor the other day, the one from LA (lower Alabama). While there, I was glad to hear that: not only did my provider have four doctors practicing medicine at that location in Ormond Beach but they are equipped with a laboratory and X-ray! The real surprise is that there will soon be a pharmacy in the complex. Yay! It’s just a hop, skip, and a jump from where I live. In the early days of October, there were times when people got tired of watching the lengthy weather reports. Since Florida hadn’t been hit by a Hurricane in a dozen years, it seemed unlikely that we needed to be so concerned. We watched and we listened, still expecting that we were missing a lot of television shows while watching the weather forecasts. We turned out to be eternally grateful for all the time and energy put forth before and after the storm passed. To pass the time and not get too concerned, one day I sat down and wrote a silly poem: That windy little Matthew Grew up to be a “cane” He put us through so many days Of wind and heavy rain. Sometimes he’d be so calm, we’d think That he had gone away But, no, the bratty Him-O-Cane Decided he would stay. And boy, did he stay! Matthew blew his way up the coast at something like 145 miles an hour and did massive damage. He knocked down trees and limbs all over Florida. We knew nothing about friends and neighbors for a while, then on the following Wednesday, I heard that a tree at a friend’s home was still laying across the wires, sparking scary patterns. She refused to leave her home until its removal. Five days after Matthew hit our area drivers were on the road again and debris was neatly placed at curbsides awaiting pickup in front of every home. (Before that, I was one of the first drivers on the road and learned later that when I was out there I was supposed to be under curfew). Oops... I forgot! The Veteran’s Home was partially powered by a generator. Food was served as

You Name It …by Kitty Maiden usual, and so well handled by the limited kitchen staff, but the coffee pot in the kitchen wasn’t under generator power. In time the residents learned where to go to get some hot coffee.

No news, no television. Very little contact for days and we were alarmed to learn of the breakdown of A1A in Flagler. A relative of mine, a property owner, applied and got an identification number from FEMA. After three calls, giving the needed information, she was told that Florida wasn’t on the disaster list… but they would acknowledge the claim if it came to be considered a disaster area. By now, we surely must know what the outcome was to that request. In spite of everything, we were much luckier than people further up the coast, especially in the Carolinas. Our prayers and best wishes go out to them, even now when Matthew has passed. We are ever so grateful to all who came south to help us get some things cleared away. I saw several unfamiliar power vehicles on our street and when night came, I realized the opposite side of the street still had no power. All’s well, that ends well and we will all soon be fine in the Sunshine State.

October 21, 2016—Seniors Today—Page 5 Bank Had Duty To Protect Elder Woman n Ginder v. Bank of America, 2015 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 25562 (M.D. Fla. 2015), Rose L. Ginder ("Plaintiff"), an 81-year-old woman, deposited her life savings, approximately $175,000, into accounts at Bank of America ("BOA"). Over eight months, Plaintiff's account balances dwindled. It turned out that a man named Michael Knight ("Knight") identiﬁed himself as a personal manager with BOA, and instructed Plaintiff to make transactions from her accounts, leading to large sums of money being transferred to individuals unknown to her. [Quotations below are taken directly from the case.] “Plaintiff specifically describes at least twenty instances of fraudulent activity involving at least four of Plaintiff's bank accounts. Plaintiff claims that BOA failed to investigate or inquire about these questionable banking activities, even after being advised by Plaintiff's daughter that Plaintiff was being exploited. Moreover, when BOA ﬁnally did begin to investigate, Plaintiff alleges that BOA took no action to either notify her or to stop the fraudulent activity.” Plaintiff argued BOA violated Florida’s Adult Protective Services Act (“Act”). “...the Act requires any bank ‘who knows, or has reasonable cause

Elder Law …by Michael A. Pyle

to suspect, that a vulnerable adult has been or is being... exploited' to report such exploitation to the Florida Department of Children and Families. The Act deﬁnes ‘vulnerable adult’ to include any person over eighteen years of age who is unable to perform everyday activities due to ‘the inﬁrmities of aging.’” “Accepting these facts as true, the Court is able to reasonably infer that BOA knew of Plaintiff's exploitation, but failed to report the exploitation to the Florida Department of Children and Families, in violation of the Act. Consequently, the Court is also able to reasonably infer that the Act confers a duty on BOA to act to protect victims of elder exploitation and that BOA breached that duty in this case.” If you suspect elder exploitation, please contact the Department of Children and Families at 1-800-962-2873.

Be Prepared!! by Peggy Goldtrap Editors Note: Most of us in Florida have just experienced preparing for and now cleaning up after hurricane Matthew. The impact on our senior community has been devastating in some situations. Whether preparing for a storm or life in general here is some good information to keep on hand to help you prepare for emergencies. ial 911... What is Your Emergency? Now the questions begin in earnest, questions you probably can’t answer because you haven’t been invited into the private life of this neighbor who’s gasping for air and depending on you to save them. My experience with seniors in emergency situations began years ago with calls for assistance in the night; a knock on the door; a frantic plea for help when I had no medical training. GAG and I have taken people to emergency rooms where the personnel expect us to fill out essential information we don’t know. If you’ve been in a similar situation you know how helpless you feel. You want to help, but don’t really know how, and asking a person in the throes of crisis is a recipe for disaster. You know only what that person has shared and that may be little. Seniors are proud people, wary of trusting private information to strangers and sometimes even family members. It has a lot to do with the era in which we were raised, that Yankee independence, and not wanting to acknowledge that we’re getting older and might perhaps need help. Trust? There are so many stories about charlatans taking advantage of seniors and bilking them of their estate. Age has a way of processing our world image in the negative. Reason or excuse aside, seniors must allow someone; doctor, lawyer, minister, best friend, fishing buddy, to know the location of important papers, who needs to be contacted; where the keys to the car; to the house, to the elevator can be found. What medications do you take? What allergies do you have? How long have you worn a brace? Who are your doctors and what are their phone numbers? It is serious business to rescue someone who has not given written permission for that assistance. When my mother was in her 90s, she still didn’t want to give the keys to her house to anyone. I finally convinced her that in case of emergency, the Fire Department would tear down her door. Always a person who took pride in their home, the thought of her house being ‘damaged’ convinced her and she reluctantly made a key available. Letting another person have the key to her home was a major trust issue, one over which she agonized. Beneath it all was the fact that a strong, proud woman had to admit a weakness. I have followed people home from the grocery store, watching to see if they entered

the house without incident. Once I saw a gentleman fall at the passenger side of his car while his wife, unaware, was putting groceries in the trunk. Alarmed, I and an employee rushed over to them; got the man up and into the car offering to follow them home until they were safely inside the house. Unruffled, the woman said, as she leaned on her cane: ‘This happens all the time.’ I respected their wishes but still followed them home and watched until the lights went dark in the garage.

Happy Talk …by George & Peggy Goldtrap Other than illnesses and death notifications, I’ve had to assist people who have fallen or had difficulties extricating themselves from the bathroom. This is probably one of our most vulnerable locations where we definitely don’t want intrusion. However, incidents and accidents occur and our normal ability to function can be seriously compromised. We can’t plan accidents, but we can map our course of response. Seniors who have telephones, cell or landline, often don’t hear the phone ringing and haven’t made a habit of checking for messages. Out-of-state family panics when calls aren’t returned. We seniors are on the slow end of the fast track. There are devices built for the hearing impaired and/or to accommodate other challenges. We may be a curmudgeonly, and not want anyone meddling with our business, but what’s worse? Letting someone know you’re okay or having the paramedics thump on your door? I understand the foolishness of being asked: ‘How are we today,?’ and the sting of being called, elderly, and the anger behind: ‘What made you think I can’t take care of myself?’ I love having a handsome young man open a door for me, but I hate the fact that it’s too heavy to open on my own. The reality is that we all need someone sometime from the day we enter this world until the day we tell it farewell. Humans are interdependent. Everyone should prepare an emergency list of names and numbers and medications taken; have it laminated and carry it in our billfold at all times. Thinking clearly is difficult in a crisis. Prepare ahead of time, while you’re calm, focused, and rational. Let the designated decision maker(s) know about the list, who’s on it, and why. Update it periodically as circumstances change. Aging has its challenges, but many can be avoided. Our wishes should be recorded and shared in a well-thought-out plan to eliminate worry and stress. Like the Boy Scout motto says: Be prepared!

Informatoin from Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration http://www.samhsa.gov/ urricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, earthquakes, mass violence, or acts of terrorism—disasters can happen at any time, but you can help your family members deal with them. While focusing and preparing for potential threats or trying to restore safety and resume a normal life in the aftermath, older adults often try to make sense of what may seem utterly senseless. The trauma of a disaster or other type of emergency can bring up different feelings and emotions; it can also be a time for families to come together to talk and support each other. Older adults are more likely to need social support to reduce the effects of stress and move forward on the path of recovery. Some older adults may also be dealing with the loss of physical capabilities and possibly independence. It’s important to recognize the effect that traumatic events can have on mood, stress level, job attendance and performance, and routine. The disruption caused by natural and man-made disasters is common and often difficult to manage. Adults may try to cope with alcohol, by isolating themselves, or by exhibiting outbursts of anger, which may be uncharacteristic. There Are Some Key Tips On How To Approach The Conversation: • Talk. It can be difficult to talk about what’s happening but families need to share what they’re feeling, thinking, seeing, and hearing. Staying connected with open communication will provide opportunity for deeper understanding and can help identify a need for extra reassurance and support. • Balance with the positive. While focusing on the loss, grief, and distress experienced in times of crisis is normal in the aftermath, it will be beneficial to help each other also identify and see the good that is happening around them. Emergency responders, volunteers, and others in the community who mobilize are great examples of resilience and strength, and can provide a sense of hope and healing.

• Return to routine. Getting back to a schedule, in which family can engage with friends and other mentors, can be very helpful. People they interact with on a daily basis are a support network, so maintaining those connections and daily activities can keep older adults feeling connected and safe in familiar surroundings. • Limit media exposure. It’s normal to want lots of information during and after a disaster. Staying tuned in to the latest news can help to bring back a sense of control and awareness but it can also be a little overwhelming. • Make a crisis plan. Times of disaster or emergency can highlight what people might do differently or better to stay connected, respond together, and to feel prepared for the future. Developing a crisis plan for your family gives everyone something to do and participate in and will help you all feel on the same page about each person’s role and responsibility. Seniors impacted by disaster are faced with the difficult challenge of balancing roles as survivors and caregivers. They are often overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of responsibility and immediate task of the crisis response and recovery at hand. They must also take the time to address their own physical and emotional needs as well as those of their family members and community. Warnings Signs Of Stress In Adults May Include: • Crying spells or bursts of anger • Difficulty eating • Losing interest in daily activities • Increasing physical distress symptoms such as headaches or stomach pains • Fatigue • Feeling guilty, helpless, or hopeless • Avoiding family and friends

Hurricane Clean-up s clean-up efforts and damage From The assessments continue, our community is extremely forSheriff

tunate that Hurricane Matthew spared us the massive devastation that likely would have resulted from a direct hit. Still, the impact was significant and much work remains before things return to normal. Fortunately, we’re a strong and resilient community and we will get through this the way we always do during times of adversity—by pulling together, with team-work, support, kindness, and neighbor helping neighbor. As you go about the recovery and restoration process, let’s remember to continue looking after each other and having each other’s backs. Let’s also remember to watch out for the crooks, scam artists, price gougers, and unlicensed contractors who often look to prey on storm victims. Those scammers are out there today, looking to take advantage of the misfortune of others. Residents affected by the storm should be especially wary of door-to-door solicitors who promise to speed up the permit process or ask for large cash deposits or advance payments in full. Most contractors in the building industry are honest, but disasters attract scam artists. To avoid being scammed, look first to licensed local contractors who’ve performed well in the past. Residents should hire contractors who are licensed by the state and/or the county. Most homeowners insurance policies won’t pay a claim if the homeowner contracts with an unlicensed individual.

…Volusia County Sheriff Ben Johnson Here are some tips to keep in mind when contracting for repair work: • Get a written estimate and compare services and prices. • Check references. Contractors should be willing to provide the names of previous customers. • Ask for proof of insurance. Make sure the contractor carries general liability insurance and workers’ compensation. • Insist on a written contract. A complete contract should clearly state all the tasks to be performed, all associated costs, and the payment schedule. Never sign a blank contract or one with blank spaces. Make sure the contract clearly states who will apply for the necessary permits or licenses. Have a lawyer review the contract if substantial costs are involved. • Get guarantees in writing. • Have work inspected. If excavation work is being performed, make sure a city or county building inspector examines the work before it’s hidden from view. • Don’t sign completion papers or make the final payment until the work is completed to your satisfaction. We don’t want any of our citizens still recovering from the effects of the storm to be taken advantage of.

Humane Society Update Cooler Weather & Your Pets by Amber Marcoux ith the cooler weather upon us, pet owners are spending more time outside with their animals. While pet owners are often on high alert concerning pet safety during summer months, it is important to remember to follow the following safety tips for your pet during the winter as well! Preventative Care It is important to have your animal seen by a veterinarian at least once a year (no matter the season). Cold weather months may worsen certain conditions, such as arthritis, so ensuring your pet is ready and healthy for the cold weather months will prepare your pet for the best winter possible. Exercise & Body Temperature Regulation Just like people, pets have varying tolerance to exercise based on a variety of factors. For instance, your pet’s coat, body fat, activity levels, and health are all factors for how your pet reacts to exercise in the cold weather environment. Be sure to adjust walks in very cold weather to avoid weather-associated risks. It is never safe to leave your pet in the car; be sure to always make proper accommodations prior to travelling with your pet. In order to determine your pet’s temperature limits, consult your vet. Prevent Poisoning Ensure your pet stays away from foods and other chemicals that can be poisonous During the holiday season, there are varieties of foods that can become potentially hazardous to your animal. Never feed your animal human food, and consult with your veterinarian regarding your pet’s diet. Be Prepared It is important to always be prepared and have a disaster/emergency kit in your home. Ensure you have enough food, water, and medicine on hand for you, your family, and your pet in the event of an emergency. Pet-Safe Your Home Winter months also bring the hazards of fireplaces and space heaters so it is important to ensure your pets are safely away from these at all times. Install carbon monoxide detectors, and keep your family safe from harm.

What’s In The Stars For The Week Of October 24 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You'll soon have a chance to take a big step up from where you are to where you want to be. Check it out first. Even the Mountain Sheep looks before it leaps. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This week brings a challenge that could determine the future direction of your life. If you're ready for a change, accept it with confidence. A loved one supports you. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A disruption creates a delay in completing your projects. Use this time to pursue a personal matter you were too busy to deal with before. It’s time well spent. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You still need to be on the alert for any signs of problems that could create serious misunderstandings. A positive aspect begins to emerge toward the week's end. LEO (July 23 to August 22) With things slowing down a bit this week, it would be a good time for luxury-loving Leonines to go somewhere for some well-earned pampering. VIRGO (August 23 to Sept. 22) Single Virgos are finally getting a break from Venus, who has moved in to make things happen. Attached Virgos see their relationships blossom.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You've been working hard to get things done. Now take a breather and recheck your next step. You might want to make changes with news that comes your way. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) The watchword for savvy Scorpios this week is preparation. Consider sharpening your skills to make the most of the new opportunity you're about to take on. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) There might still be some loose ends that need tucking up if you hope to get that important relationship repaired. A new spurt of activity starts soon. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) It's a good idea to keep the positive momentum going by finding and getting rid of anything that could cause you to stumble. Keep the path ahead clear. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) A period of contemplation is advised before you make your next move. Be sure that where you decide to go is the right place for you. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)That new energy surge that hit you last week continues to send out good vibrations. Try investing a part of it in creating something noteworthy on the job.

Antiques Chicago Cubs Yearbooks Q: I have some Chicago Cubs yearbooks from the 1950s. How and where can I sell them? —Janet, Oswego, Illinois A: I checked eBay and found dozens of Chicago Cubs yearbooks being offered for sale, including editions from 1948 ($35), 1949 ($26), 1950 ($20), 1955 ($27), and 1956 ($40). I suggest you sell your yearbooks there in order to get the best possible price. *** Q: My late uncle loved paperback novels and managed to collect several hundred titles, mostly from the 1940s and 50s. They are extremely interesting, and I understand some have become quite collectible. Can you recommend a good price guide? —Art, St. Charles, Missouri A: The mass-market paperback was introduced by Robert de Graff in 1938 with a special Pocket Book edition of The Good Earth by Pearl Buck. It was such a success that other titles quickly followed. There are several references, but I especially like the Collectible Paperback Price Guide, by Gary Lovisi and

published by Krause Books. It features up-to-date values for thousands of the most collectible American mass-market paperbacks, each with three grades of condition. It also has more than 1,000 cover illustrations in full color. This nifty guide explains how to collect, value, buy, and sell paperback books with special sections on cover art, key authors, important artists, hot series, pen names, how and what to collect, recommended dealers, and book shows. It is $20 and should be a good resource for you and others who enjoy paperbacks.

Pet Care Cats In The Window by Sam Mazzotta

Accepting Most Major Medical & Vision Insurance Plans Timothy D. Root, M.D.

• Lasik • Dry Eye Treatments

New Dry Eye Treatments available in Ormond Beach

Dear Paw’s Corner: I'm writing this not long after returning from the vet, where my cat Trix was treated after falling from my apartment's secondﬂoor window. Fortunately his injuries aren't serious and he'll recover, but it was a scary day that was all my fault. Can you please tell your readers to make sure their cats cannot push through the screen windows? Many cats like to sit on the windowsill and watch the outside world, but if something attracts them or if they lean up against a loose screen, it could give way—which is what happened with Trix. —Jan in Quincy, Massachusetts Dear Jan: Thank you! I'm glad Trix will be okay. Readers, screen windows often aren't secured solidly enough to keep a cat from pushing or falling through one. Cats also can tear the screen with their claws (and sometimes get their claws tangled in the screen, another scary moment). The damage from a small screen rip may not seem like much, but over time constant clawing can open up the screen entirely.

To keep your cat safe, try keeping the lower casement of windows shut, and screen the upper casement so you can open that part to let air in. If you have a screened-in porch that your cat may like to sitting in, make sure the screen stays in good repair so it can't escape. Keep your cat even safer around windows by making sure curtain pull cords are either cut short to stay out of reach, or wrapped tightly around mounting hooks. Avoid ﬂoor-to-ceiling curtains that cats love to climb; use shorter curtains and make sure curtain rods are mounted securely.

Senior Service Line Brain Games vs. Dementia by Matilda Charles

f you don't yet have a computer or tablet, recent news might persuade you to ask for one for your birthday: brain-training exercises reduce dementia. Researchers at a half-dozen universities collaborated on different cognitive training programs with nearly 3,000 participants starting in 1998. The program, called the Advanced Cognitive Training in Vital Elderly study (ACTIVE), tested reasoning, memory, and speed of processing information using one of four methods: memory training, speed of processing information training, reasoning training, and none at all. Getting results didn't take long. Only 10 sessions of training over ﬁve weeks were required. Of the above methods, it was only the speed training that delayed the onset of dementia, by a whopping 48 percent over the course of 10 years. Researchers even made it more speciﬁc: Each session of training reduced the risk of dementia by 8 percent. Participants experienced improvement in areas of attention, feelings of control, quality

of life, and even improved driving reaction time because objects off to the side were seen more quickly. The online version of the program they used is called Double Decision, and it can be found on brainhq.com if you search for that name. As samples, there are games to play for free. Here is one example: Identifying fast-moving objects on a screen, including those in peripheral vision, with tasks getting more and more difﬁcult. While it's tempting to see online brain training as the end-all to delaying dementia, we should not forget that the Federal Trade Commission once ﬁned a maker of brain games for making false claims. On the other hand—the funding for this long-term research was then made possible by the National Institute on Aging. Suggestion: Go online to those free games at brainhq.com and try a few. Decide for yourself.

Veteran’s Post Vet’s Success Story 'm always impressed by people who do things for themselves. Marine veteran Nick Baucom is one of those people. Not only has he created employment for himself, but he's built a growing company that provides solid jobs to other veterans. In 2008 Baucom started building a moving company—Two Marines Moving—that now has so much business that he's booked three to four weeks out. He made it to Inc. magazine's list of fastgrowing companies by the time he was 24 years old. A year later, the company hit its first $1 million in revenue. Why are his services so popular? It's the quality of work that veterans bring to the job, he says. Tenacity and perseverance and getting the job done. Decisiveness, gathering data, and moving forward. Initiative, stepping up when you see something that needs to be done. At this point, Two Marines Moving has completed over 20,000 moves and employs 90 veterans, and how wonderful that half of them are Marines. You can read about the company at www.twomarinesmoving.com While you're roaming around the website,

check out the video with a message from Nick Baucom, president of the company, and the testimonials. Baucom served in the Marines from 2002 to 2008, including a tour in Iraq. He also is the author of On The Move: A Marine’s Guide To Entrepreneurial Success, available on Amazon.com If you're a veteran who is looking for motivation to start your own business, take a look at what Nick Baucom has accomplished since 2008. The book explores his experiences in the Marine Corps and how that has translated into success in business. The story he tells will inspire you to take what the military taught you and use it to create the life you want for yourself.
