Is This Thing On?

6 Travel Tips for Smartphones Abby Stokes

Are you planning a trip out of the country this summer? Let’s talk about precautions you should take so you don’t come home to a smartphone bill that’ll ruin your vacation afterglow.

1. Call Your Cellphone Service Provider – Before traveling overseas, call the company you pay for your cellphone service and ask what packages they offer for international use.

Think about how you might use your phone (calling the U.S., calling within the country you’re visiting, texting, email …) and ask how each of those is billed under your provider’s international plan.

2. Turn Off Data Roaming – The moment you board the plane for your international destination, go into

the settings on your smartphone and turn off data roaming and the cellular data plan. That’s the best way to prevent your phone from randomly using data to search for emails and texts throughout the day.

Better that you control specifically when the cellular data is used. You can turn the cellular data on and off as you need it so as not to exceed the plan you’ve chosen.

3. Wi-Fi Is Your New BFF – If the hotel or home you’re visiting has Wi-

Fi, you’re all set.

When on Wi-Fi you can check email, visit websites, send photos, text, and use the GPS feature on your phone.

You want to be careful when you’re outside of that Wi-Fi area.

That’s when things can get pricey.

Wi-Fi is a free zone where you can use almost all of the features of your phone without incurring additional charges.

The one exception is voice calling. You may still be charged international fees for phone calls (in

and out). You might have the option of turning on Wi-Fi calling, or better yet, use a service like Skype.

4. Skype Your Phone Calls – Skype is a free app that allows you to use your smartphone, tablet, or computer to call, text, or video chat internationally for free or at greatly reduced prices.

When you’re in a Wi-Fi area and communicating with another Skype user, your calls, video chats, or texts are free. Free!

Using a credit card, you can open a Skype account and pay a very small (and I mean very small) amount to call people who aren’t registered with Skype. I have yet to see a phone company offer more competitive pricing than Skype for international phone calls.

Include your community or service in the ultimate resource for boomer and senior living and care options.

5. When in Doubt, Use Airplane Mode – If you arrive at your destination and can’t remember what your smartphone plan allows for, simply go to your settings and turn on airplane mode.

Airplane mode will stop all transmission to or from the phone.

So no emails, texts, phone calls, or visiting websites. No signal = no ugly phone bills. You can still take and view photos, read your notes, or listen to any music saved on your phone.

Once back in the safety of a Wi-

Fi area, you can turn off airplane mode and turn on Wi-Fi. 6. Document with Your Camera – Of course you’re going to take photos of everything you love about your visit.

Why not also take a photo of your passport and the back and front of

your credit cards so you’ll have that information on your phone at all times?

When traveling, I even take a photo of my rental car and its license plate to make it easier to identify in a parking lot full of cars.

Remember that to put away your smartphone for a day is a great

vacation choice. Smell the roses, enjoy the sea breeze, and linger in a museum while your smartphone becomes your personal assistant taking all of your messages.

Bon voyage!

50plus LIFE u

By Lori Van Ingen At age 65, Marian Condon wasn’t miserable or depressed, but she wasn’t joyous either.

She had been divorced for a number of years, but had a “wonderful job and good friends.”

Condon is an adjunct nursing professor and has two grown sons.

“I was not as happy as I could be,” Condon said. “It was not as much fun. It was like I was marching, not skipping, through life,” Condon said. “I could feel better if I exercised, but I hated exercise. I tried it all—running, lifting weights, machines, gyms, yoga studios. I was never a physical person.”

However, weighing over 200 pounds, Condon was a good 65 pounds overweight and the doctor was warning her about her blood pressure and blood sugar.

And as a registered nurse with a master’s degree in primary care from the University of Pennsylvania and a doctorate in adult education from Penn State, Condon knew she needed to make a “significant change in my life.”

Condon said she “felt bad being overweight. I was chubby by 11 years old. I went through the cycle of emotional eating, being ashamed of how I look [followed by] more eating,” she said.

It is very difficult to stay away from sweet foods when you are “addicted” to them, she said.

“I know as a nurse what an addiction is. You can become dependent on sugary foods.

They elevate your mood almost instantly. You eat chocolate cake and it makes you feel better physiologically. (It’s made with sugar and flour) and the glucose, or the sugar, triggers the release of endorphins and dopamine, which raise your mood instantly.”

That’s the mechanism behind emotional eating and few educated people know that it’s unhealthy, she said. A lot of women can relate to it.

Marian Condon and Arthur Murray instructor Tim Hippert competing at the 2015 Harrisburg Area Showcase ballroom dance event.

“I know how difficult it is to control when you are 60, 70, 80 pounds overweight. You think it’s an impossible challenge. ‘So what if I give up? I’ll just die a few years early,’” Condon said.

That’s when one day in her email she found a Groupon coupon for a dance studio.

“My parents liked to jitterbug and took me with them. I loved it,” she said.

But Condon thought she couldn’t learn to dance because she didn’t have a partner. She contacted the dance studio anyway and was told it didn’t matter that she didn’t have a partner because one of the instructors would dance with her at their dance parties.

She decided to give it a try and “it changed my life, absolutely,” Condon said.

She learned ballroom dancing, which encompasses many smooth dances like the foxtrot, waltz, tango, Latin dances (rumba, merengue, cha-cha), swing, hustle, and country-western.

“There’s something for everyone,” she said.

Dancing is “so much fun. I felt happier. I went almost every night after work. I got into better shape and became more attracted to

exercise. I’d go to the park to walk, then jog. I bought weights ... ” She finally could fit into the “sparkly” dresses the dancers wore.

Condon had a new motivation, a joy in the music and the positive people around her laughing and joking as they danced. She felt happier and able to control her eating. She was able to stick to a healthy diet and she lost 65 pounds in a year.

“I’m five years out now and have not regained any weight.”

Most people, she said, regain the weight they have lost over time.

Condon loved dancing so much that she decided she would write a book about how dancing can help people lose weight.

For her book, Thinner, Fitter, Happier: Dancing Will Change Your Life!, Condon interviewed 40 dancers around the country: Some are teachers and some are students, but all said dancing changed their lives.

Dancing affects your mind, spirit, soul, and relationships.

“It’s the best-kept health secret,” Condon said.

Some of the benefits of dancing are that it’s an aerobic activity, you get a mental lift from the music, you are with people having fun, and you make new friends.

“You don’t talk about politics or religion. There’s no negative conversation on the dance floor.

It’s a very positive, upbeat, happy place to be,” Condon said.

“Research shows the people you hang around affect your mood.

Debbie Downers suck your energy, but you don’t find that at dance studios. Music uplifts your soul.

You learn to move in sync with another person and it reminds us of being rocked in the womb. It’s sublime.

“You don’t think about your feet or your body; you just feel every slight shift in weight. Longstanding married couples have rekindled their relationships through dance. Dancing also is www.50plusLifePA.com

phenomenal for the brain.”

Condon said dancing is not only for the young, slim, and athletic.

“If you can walk, you can dance”—even at age 98, like one of Condon’s new friends at her dance studio.

“I took up dancing late in life,” said Condon, who is now 71. “I did a lot of research. Dancing confers more protection against dementia than any other activity.”

According to a 20-year longitudinal study on people in their 70s, dancing had the highest degree of protection for their cognition. It was higher than chess, board games, walking, golf, or tennis.

“While dancing, the aerobic exercise is pumping blood to the

brain, and it keeps you thinking where your body is in space, processing the music and processing where your partner’s body is located.

Dancing puts a demand on your brain and you form new neurons.”

Dancing also could fit into anyone’s budget. You don’t have to dance at a franchise studio. There are dance clubs around the area that are inexpensive because they rent their studios from fire halls, she said.

Thinner, Fitter, Happier: Dancing Will Change Your Life! is available through http://thinnerfitterhappier. drmariancondon.com and Amazon. com.

Condon also can be contacted on her Facebook page or on her website (www.doctormariancondon.com).

50plus EXPO Succeeds Despite

Summer-Weather Soundtrack

By Megan Joyce Atmospheric theatrics weren’t on the day’s scheduled roster of entertainment, but Mother Nature can be generous with her unplanned diversions, as attendees of the Chester County 50plus EXPO recently found out.

As sonorous late-morning thunderstorms barreled overhead the Church Farm School in Exton, guests stayed safe and dry milling amongst the more than 80 vendors composing the 13th annual event.

The free, one-day EXPO, hosted

by OLP Events, connected baby boomers, seniors, and caregivers with local representatives in housing, finance, leisure, travel, home improvement, medical services, and more.

“We enjoy going to the booths and to see what the latest fashion is or the latest thing going on,” Ralph Hannum, of Glen Moore, said. “It’s been good—very, very informative.”

Attendees were eligible for door prizes and took advantage of free health screenings for spinal care and posture, blood pressure, blood sugar, and others.

Jackie Harris, of Malvern, had come to the 50plus EXPO with the free blood-pressure screening in mind.

“It was one of the things I was looking for when I came here,” Harris said. “And I came for the faces, being exposed to new things,

6

July 2016

to see what else I could learn—I’m a perpetual learner.”

Harris was also a repeat EXPO visitor, although she had adjusted her game plan for 2016.

“I came late two seasons ago and I thought I missed out on a lot, so I came early this time,” she added.

In addition to the weather’s unexpected contributions, the five-hour EXPO also included a range of live entertainment and informational seminars.

PA State Senior Idol winners Barry Surran (2008) and Peggy Keller (2011) dueted on familiar songs such as “Under the Boardwalk,” “Sway,” “Cabaret,” “Love Me Tender,” and “California Dreamin’.”

Health Partners Plans’ presentation covered the basics of Medicare, including explanations of the enrollment period, the differences between Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplemental plans, and more.

Ameer Blackmon from the Office of the Attorney General followed, advising guests on the latest scams, frauds, and identity-theft tactics targeting seniors—including scammers posing as grandchildren in need of money and as IRS employees.

“If you get a call from the IRS, you didn’t get a call from the IRS,” Blackmon said. “The IRS doesn’t call you; they contact you with a letter through the U.S. mail.”

50plus LIFE u

YMCA of Greater Brandywine led guests in a full-body workout designed for all levels of flexibility and fitness. The series of moves, some using resistance bands, focused on improving balance and strengthening the body’s various muscle groups.

Representatives from APPRISE discussed Medicare, diabetes, and durable medical equipment and answered questions about the Medicare system.

Although retirement-living options were plentiful at the 50plus EXPO, Mary Smith said that she and her husband hadn’t come for that reason—they had seen the event advertised right outside their 50-plus community in Phoenixville, where they are already happily situated.

“We came out, first of all, to find if they had physical therapists

because he has balance issues,” Smith said of her husband. “So we’re just checking to see if anyone’s dealing with that. We try to check in here once a year.”

Sponsors for the 2016 Chester County 50plus EXPO were 50plus LIFE, b magazine, Center for Interventional Pain and Spine, Health Partners Plans, Isaac’s Famous Grilled Sandwiches, RetireSafe, Surrey Services for Seniors, WCHE, Wegmans Food Markets, WFYL, WNTP, and YMCA of Greater Brandywine.

OLP Events’ 50plus EXPOs will return in the fall: in Lancaster County on Sept. 21, in York County on Sept. 28, and in Cumberland County on Oct. 19.

Dear Pharmacist

Suzy Cohen

Which Should You Take, Advil or Tylenol?

When you’re in pain, what do you reach for, Tylenol or Advil?

What about fever or body aches from the flu?

How about if your precious grandbaby is teething or gets an earache—which do you give?

These are questions that you might be asking yourself today, and I’m going to help you.

There are some primary differences between these two medications, both blockbusters sold worldwide under various brand names. The ingredients themselves are included in thousands of multitasking formulas.

Ibuprofen is a drug mugger of folate, whereas acetaminophen is a drug mugger of glutathione.

If you run out of folate, you could develop high homocysteine (increases risk of heart disease), cervical dysplasia, depression, chronic diarrhea, gray hair, and mouth sores.

If you run low on glutathione, fatigue, general pain, and liver problems occur.

There are dozens of other symptoms that I don’t have space to list, and also, these depletions take time. You don’t run out of the nutrients with normal dosages, taken Tylenol = acetaminophen properly for a short term.

Tinseltown Talks

Singer Toni Tennille’s Brush with Hollywood Nick Thomas

She put the “Tennille” in the popular ’70s music duo of the Captain and Tennille and enjoyed two huge No. 1 Billboard hits: “Love Will Keep Us Together” and “Do That to Me One More Time.”

But Toni Tennille also brushed shoulders with Hollywood’s biggest stars.

Born and raised in Montgomery, Alabama, Tennille recently left five decades of West Coast life behind her, as well as nearly 40 years of marriage to musical partner Daryl “the Captain” Dragon, and returned to the South.

“I’m now living just northeast of Orlando near my sister,” said Tennille, who released her April autobiography Toni Tennille: A

The Captain and Tennille in early years.

Memoir, written with niece Caroline Tennille St. Clair (see www.tonitennille.net).

Toni Tennille today with niece and book co-author Caroline Tennille St. Clair.

“It took two years to write and looks back at my childhood growing up in the segregated South,” she said.

After arriving in California in 1961, Tennille worked in repertory theater, wrote music, and eventually met and married musician Daryl Dragon.

When the Captain and Tennille exploded onto the pop music scene in 1975, they were given their own primetime weekly TV variety show on ABC also called The Captain and Tennille.

Tennille says working with the weekly guests was a highlight.

“I was so excited about meeting all those fabulous stars like George Burns and Bob Hope.”

A reoccurring skit throughout the series was Masterjoke Theater, where a guest would perform a short monologue and close by tossing a pie in his own face.

“Big stars like Vincent Price, Raymond Burr, Bob Hope, and Tony Randall were all game to be silly.”

The show, however, only lasted one season. But with her cheerful and engaging personality, Tennille was back on television again in 1980 starring in her own program, The Toni Tennille Show, a nationally syndicated series featuring musical numbers and her interviews with special guests.

She also drew on advice her mother had offered years before.

“She once told me: ‘Toni, always be really nice to your lighting guys, because they can make you look like an old hag if they want!’ So that’s what I did.”

The show only lasted a year, too, but the parade of stars was once again stellar and included Ginger Rogers, Ernest Borgnine, and Charlton Heston. However, one of her most memorable encounters occurred offscreen at Dodger Stadium in 1978.

“I used to sing the national anthem there,” she recalled. “I was sitting at a table during one of the events and a man came up to me and said, ‘Miss Tennille, I’m Cary Grant. I just wanted to tell you that I have never heard the national anthem sung more beautifully.’

“Wow, such high praise from Cary Grant. And I found it so endearing that he felt the need to introduce himself to me!”

Her glitzy entertainment career now in the distant past, Tennille, 75, says she found the perfect house last summer after moving to Florida and easily slipped back into Southern living.

But her decision to divorce Dragon in 2014 took many fans by surprise, as the duo was publicly perceived as a devoted couple performing their string of love songs for years.

However, says Tennille, throughout the marriage there were problems that became overwhelming, so it was time to move on.

“We were not the lovebirds that the public saw,” she said. “We still talk regularly and care for each other. But my message for people who are in a bad relationship is to get all the help you can to remove yourself from the situation. We all deserve happiness.”

How Medicare Handles Second Medical Opinions

Does Medicare cover second medical opinions? The doctor I currently see thinks I need back surgery, but I would like to get some other treatment options before I proceed. What can you tell me?

– Searching Senior Dear Searching, Getting a second medical opinion from another doctor is a smart idea that may offer you a fresh perspective and additional options for treating your back condition so you can make a more informed decision.

Or, if the second doctor agrees with your current one, it can give you some reassurance.

Yes, Medicare does pay for second opinions if your current doctor has recommended surgery or some other major diagnostic or therapeutic procedure.

If you’re enrolled in original Medicare, 80 percent of the costs for second medical opinions is covered under Part B (you or your Medicare supplemental policy are responsible for the other 20 percent), and you don’t need an order or referral from your doctor to get one.

Medicare will even pay 80 percent for a third opinion, if the first two differ.

Most Medicare Advantage plans

cover second opinions too, but you may need to follow certain steps to get it paid for.

For example, some plans will only help pay for a second opinion if you have a referral from your primary-care doctor, and/or they may require that you can only use a doctor in their network.

If you have a Medicare Advantage plan, you’ll need to call it to find out their rules.

Finding another Doctor To find another doctor for a second opinion, you can either ask your current doctor for a name or two, or you can ask another doctor you trust for a referral, or you can find one on your own.

Whatever route you choose, it’s best to go with a doctor that’s affiliated with a different practice or hospital from your original doctor. Hospitals and practices can be set in their ways when it comes to treatments and are likely to offer similar advice.

If you choose to find one on your own, use Medicare’s online Physician Compare tool (www.medicare.gov/ physiciancompare). This will let you find doctors by name, medical specialty, or geographic location that please see OPINIONS page 11

The Bookworm Sez

Political Suicide Terri Schlichenmeyer

Politicians are human.

There are surely times when you’d like to think otherwise, but the truth is that they laugh, they cry, they love—and they do boneheaded things.

In the new book Political Suicide

by Erin McHugh, you’ll see that all kinds of things can go wrong.

Their greed gets the better of them.

Their egos need stroking, or their tempers take over.

Take, for instance, Daniel Sickles.

Though the New York state assemblyman was a known philanderer himself, he was furious that his missus enjoyed a dalliance.

Sickles killed his wife’s lover and went to trial but pleaded temporary insanity, becoming the first person to successfully be acquitted in that

manner.

Also lucky was a California congressman who killed a man over a lack of breakfast; he likewise served no jail time.

Throughout history, there have been many scandalous quirks in politics. One sitting congressman served his country from an insane asylum.

One was reelected to Congress while in jail.

And one notable congressman told

a mega-whopper of a lie to gain his seat, and then tried to explain it by saying that he was “a prisoner” of his own story.

There’s money to be found in politics—although, unfortunately, it doesn’t always belong to the politician. That doesn’t necessarily stop them from taking the cash, however: One state treasurer who called himself Honest Dick “in fact, was not.”

Questionable loans are altogether too common.

And imagine the shock when one small town discovered that its comptroller-treasurer “stole $53 million … money right out of the pockets of her friends and neighbors.”

There have been sex scandals aplenty in politics, words that went awry, and a lot of big mouths. Racism has reared its terrible head, as has double-crossing and blame-laying.

History repeats itself in contentious elections and Supreme Court nominations. And at least one political “man among men” wasn’t a man at all …

BOOKWORM from page 13

AQUATICS IS, INC.

You’ll find some between the lines in Political Suicide, but don’t expect belly laughs or goofy stories. No, author Erin McHugh gives readers lots of true (and outrageous!) tales, but the humor comes from the situations themselves more than from the author.

McHugh is quick to point out the ridiculousness of what happened, but she also puts things into historical

and cultural perspective; what’s more, her accounts seem sympathetic now and then, especially when naiveté is involved.

That gives readers a nice balance of silly, sad, and scandalous. What’s not to like about that?

Nothing, that’s what—so, White House watchers, voters, fed-up folks, and historians should want to read this book. If you need a hint of

disgracefully laden lightheartedness between now and Nov. 8, Political Suicide is just the ticket.

The Bookworm is Terri Schlichenmeyer.

Terri has been reading since she was 3 years old and she never goes anywhere without a book. She lives on a hill in Wisconsin with two dogs and 14,000 books.
