The Beauty in Nature
Wildlife on Our House $MZEF .D.JMMBO (BNCFS
Sitting on our lawn one evening this summer, I thought about the adaptable wildlife that recently raised young or lived in sheltered places on the outside of our house in a suburban area. These common creatures provided much entertainment and intrigue to us, right at home. These animals used several parts of our home, including the deck and porch, an old gas vent, an awning over a door, Cottontail rabbit two window air conditioners, the chimney, and the attic. Female carpenter bees chewed round holes in the undersides of wooden porch railings until those structures were removed. Each bee made a few compartments in a railing, where she deposited balls of ower nectar and pollen and laid an egg on each ball. Each resulting larva consumed its ball of food, pupated in its wooden cell, and later emerged as a grown carpenter bee. At dusk in summer, spiders of a couple kinds spin webs in corners of our porch and deck. The webs’ function, of course, is to snare ying insects, right on those outdoor structures. Over the years, permanent resident pairs of house sparrows nest on support posts under our front-porch roof. These birds create bulky nurseries of dead grass, feathers, and other soft materials and raise up to three broods in a summer. A resident pair of lively Carolina wrens seeks shelter under our deck. The male chants vigorously the year around to announce his territory, providing us with his beautiful melodies. Traditionally a bottomland woods species, Carolina wrens nest in many sheltered places, including crevices in rock piles, in brush piles, and under fallen logs. They also hatch young in sheltering, human-made structures, such as in garages and sheds and under porches. I’ve noticed that a cottontail rabbit and an opossum live under our deck, but maybe not at the same time. These ďŹ eld and woodland creatures often live under sheds and decks on people’s lawns. Traditionally another woodland species, resident Carolina chickadees eat invertebrates and nest in tree cavities, bird boxes, and other sheltered places among trees. For a few years, a pair of chickadees lived in an unused gas vent leading into the house, oering more beauty and enjoyment to our family. Over the years, pairs of house ďŹ nches raised young in twig cradles on supports of an awning over a door to our house. Male ďŹ nches have pink feathers and sing lovely songs early in spring. Mourning doves and house sparrows rear ospring in spaces between two air conditioners and the two windows they project from. Parent doves feed a mix of predigested seeds and throat phlegm to their two youngsters in a brood. And doves produce a brood every month through the warmer part of each year. This summer, a few chimney swifts ew down our chimney at dusk to spend nights in safety. Swifts also hatch babies down the inside of sheltering www.50plusLifePA.com
chimneys, as they do down the inside of hollow trees. Some summers, we have a couple of little brown bats resting by day in our attic and ying out to feed on ying insects at night. These interesting little mammals want only to be left alone. These are some of the critters on our house. Readers probably have these same animals or other kinds. One has only to watch for them and enjoy.

“Watching Oprah: The Oprah Winfrey Show and American Cultureâ€? exhibition opened in June at the National Museum of African American History and Culture of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., and the exhibition will be on view through June 2019.

Senior Scams Evolve: 1MPZT $POUJOVF UP %FGSBVE 0MEFS "EVMUT By Ismat Mangla Last October, my family members received a phone call from a company dubbed Utility Savings Expert, whose website (utilitysavingsexpert.net) features the tagline, “We are here to help you,â€? but omits the second half of the sentence: â€œâ€Ś separate you from your money.â€? The pitch was enticing: Utility Savings Expert claimed they could help customers save up to 50 percent on various bills, including cellphone, cable, electric, and more. All you had to do was share your account information in order for them to pay the bill on your behalf. Once you checked to make sure the bill was covered, you simply wired the company half the full amount due. The oer was so tempting that my family members, who are retired and live on a ďŹ xed income, decided to try it with their Sprint phone bill. They gave the scammers their Sprint account information, and a few days later, sure enough, their $250 bill had been paid in full. SatisďŹ ed, they agreed to send half the amount to the Utility Savings Expert company. The catch? They could only send payment via wire transfer, not check or credit card. That should have been a glaring red ag, says Brandy Bauer of the National Council on Aging. “Legitimate companies won’t require you to pay only by wire transfer or reloadable debit card,â€? she says. It wasn’t until about a month and a half after they wired the money that they noticed something wrong. Sprint was charging them an additional $250 because a payment made on their account weeks ago had been reversed. Here’s what most likely happened: The scammers called the issuer of the credit card they used to make the payment and alleged that it was a fraudulent charge — so the bank reversed the charge. Of course, the victims were out the money they wired and still had to pay their Sprint bill. New Twist on a Familiar Scam Phone scams targeting older Americans are certainly not new. In fact, a 2015 study by True Link Financial estimates that seniors lose more than $36 billion each year to various kinds of ďŹ nancial abuse, including scams that prey on victims by luring them to send money over the phone. And that’s just the ones that are known: the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau estimates that only 1 in 44 ďŹ nancial crimes against elders is
actually reported. What is new, however, is the way fraudsters lure their targets. Criminals continually invent new ways to entrap unsuspecting Americans — very often seniors — into giving out personal information or money over the phone. The Evolution of a Scam Scammers are also experts at developing sophisticated and convincing stories to persuade you to work with them. When I called Utility Savings Expert posing as a customer to inquire about their services, I asked how they were able to oer these discounts. “We have accounts and contracts with service providers all over the U.S.,â€? said Naveed, who declined to give me his last name. He added that the company earned gift cards from these contracts, which they used to pay the bills. They could then pass on the savings to customers, whom they only charged half the price of the bill due. This explanation was convincing enough for my relatives to fall for the scam. (When I called the company a second time, no one answered or returned my calls.) None of the scam experts I spoke to had ever heard of this particular phone scam, nor did a Google search turn up any information on the company. But neither were they surprised by the phone scam’s new incarnation. “I’ve heard and seen a lot of phone scams, but not that one,â€? says Curtis Bailey, an elder law attorney in St. Louis, Missouri, who also hosts a fraud podcast called Scamcast. “These scammers just continue to evolve and change. I can see how easy it would be for people to fall victim to this one, because who doesn’t want to pay less for a phone or utility bill?â€? Frank Dorman, of the Federal Trade Commission, which handles these types of scams, says that the agency has never logged this particular scheme. The FTC advises never to do business with someone unless you know and trust them — and especially never to send money or ďŹ nancial account information. “In this case, a phone call to the utility company should reveal whether or not the utility has an arrangement with a third party, and if not, which is likely, report the scam to state and local law enforcement and the FTC,â€? says Dorman. Another twist in this particular scheme: The scammers spoke to my relatives in Urdu, which is their native language. Bailey says that doesn’t surprise him at all, as fraudsters will often exploit aďŹƒnity relationships to build trust. www.50plusLifePA.com
“A lot of people don’t understand that what makes scammers more eective is that they will push certain emotional levers, like fear and greed. But another one is sympathy,â€? says Bailey. “A victim might think, ‘I identify with the caller and trust him because he’s speaking my native tongue.’ “This is just another tactic these criminals use to generate a false sense of trust so the victim will be manipulated into sending money or give out personal information.â€? The Likely Victims Indeed, True Link Financial’s study concluded that $6.7 billion worth of senior scams occur because the criminals take advantage of a trusting relationship to scam seniors. Amy Nofziger, a fraud expert at AARP, says that scammers speciďŹ cally target older Americans because they are more likely to be successful with them. Older adults often don’t want to seem rude on the phone, and they are often more vulnerable because they are living on ďŹ xed incomes. Many older Americans have also built up some wealth, making them an attractive target. And while cognitive decline can certainly contribute to a victim’s vulnerability, you don’t have to experience cognitive decline to be a victim. In fact, a new study in the American Journal of Public Health concluded that each year, 1 in 18 “cognitively intactâ€? older adults becomes a victim of ďŹ nancial scams or abuse. And once someone is the target of a phone scam or other fraud scheme, it’s very likely they will be targeted again, says Nicole K. Parshall, a sta attorney who specializes in consumer protection at the Center for Elder Law and Justice in Bualo, New York. “These criminals share ‘suckers’ lists — they are a commodity bought and sold between various scammers. They also target people who engage in certain activities, like playing the lottery or things like Publisher’s Clearing House,â€? she says. Because these crimes often go unreported and cause a lot of shame and embarrassment to the targets, they are even more susceptible to falling victim more than once. How to Avoid Being Scammed Whether a phone scammer is enticing you to save money on your utilities, threatening to shut o your electricity unless you pay an outstanding bill immediately, or pitching an unbelievably “low-costâ€? vacation opportunity, the most important thing you can do is to simply hang up the phone. “We tell people to screen their calls and not pick up unless they recognize the number,â€? says Parshall. “And if you did pick up, the second someone asks for any personal information or anything to do with money, just hang up. Don’t feel bad about it — you did not invite them in. They’re entering your space.â€? If you have entered into a conversation with someone who is trying to sell you a product or convince you to engage in a service, tell them you need some time to think about it. No legitimate oer or service is going to evaporate after you hang up the phone. “If something sparks your interest, hang up anyway, do your own research, and run it by a family member or friend,â€? says Parshall. “Sometimes just hearing yourself say it out loud is enough to give you pause.â€? Giving yourself time also allows your more rational urges to kick in. And remember that no legitimate company is going to limit your payment method, which is what Utility Savings Expert did. They claimed they could not receive payment by check or credit card — only wire transfers. Similarly, a legitimate operation will never ask you to volunteer personal information, like your Social Security number or even account data. That’s another huge red ag. If your utility company, for example, needed to contact you for an outstanding balance, they would never do it over the phone until you’d received numerous written notices from them. And even then, they would never ask you to oer personal information. www.50plusLifePA.com
If you are concerned, hang up and call your utility company using the number indicated on your written statement. What to Do If You Become a Victim Prevention is vital in these situations because in most cases, it can be diďŹƒcult to recover swindled money. But if you have been defrauded, the ďŹ rst thing you should do is ďŹ le a police report. That is an important step in getting things on the record — and may help in getting your money back from the bank. For example, my relatives should ďŹ le a police report and then take it to their bank to demonstrate that they were defrauded. In some cases, the bank might make you whole. “With a wire transfer, your recourse is to go back to the bank, show them the police report, explain everything that happened, and they might replace the money,â€? says Bailey. “Every bank treats these kinds of situations dierently.â€? Parshall adds that while some police departments may give you pushback, persist in getting that report ďŹ led because it can be used to help you set up a permanent fraud alert, and as evidence, if the issue comes back to haunt you further. Next, you may also want to report it to the FBI or to relevant state and federal agencies. You can ďŹ le complaints with the Federal Trade Commission. Your state’s attorney general oďŹƒce is also a good place to log the incident; they may have a division devoted speciďŹ cally to such scams. You should also check with your county or state to see if they have an organization devoted to helping seniors with ďŹ nancial fraud. Pennsylvania’s Department of Human Services’ Adult Protective Services agency can be reached at (717) 736-7116 or (800) 490-8505. “The biggest hurdle we have in getting people to open up and report these things is that they’re embarrassed, angry, [and] fearful, which makes them reluctant,â€? says Bailey. “But we encourage people to speak out. The key is to be vigilant, be educated, learn as much as you can about the scams out there. Be open. Don’t be afraid to talk to your family about it. It goes both ways — from kids to parents and vice versa.â€? I talked to my own relatives about their experience, who did feel some embarrassment at being duped. But they also said they learned their lesson and don’t plan to answer phone calls from people they don’t know in the future — a lesson that cost them $200. It’s a mistake they don’t plan to repeat.

Permanence – The idea that the grief and pain she felt were permanent. However, life is impermanent and changing constantly. Gradually, “the fog of intense pain began to lift now and then.� As she began to feel and function better, she
What Our Patients Say “With a history of degenerative disc disease, and arthritic changes in the lumbar spine and knees, I have undergone physical therapy multiple times in the last 9-10 years. My goals were to improve my mobility, flexibility, increase my walking distance, and reduce my pain. The therapy programs, under direction of therapists, were short-term, consisting primarily of the application of heat and exercise. While my mobility did improve somewhat, I experienced minimal or no gains in my other goals. Over time, the discomfort began to spread to other area, and I sought alternative methods to address the problems. At the time of my initial consult at Hershey Orthopedic & Spine Rehab, I had been experiencing significant back, hip, and leg pain for several months. The range of motion in my left leg and my overall strength had declined significantly. Following examination, Dr. Erwin outlined the issues that were present and causing my problems, and prescribed a program of manual therapy and focused exercise. Working with him and his team over several weeks, I have gained significant mobility, strength, and the pain in my back, hip and leg, is gone. I must say my goals have not only been achieved, but exceeded! I cannot applaud you enough for your dedicated approach to rehab treatment. Your caring attitude is apparent from the initial phone call, extends to the warm greeting each person receives at reception, to the knowledgeable, experienced, and friendly treatment I saw given to each patient. Congratulations on building a team that excels, and “Thank You� for allowing me to be on the receiving end of your excellent care.� * Local Former Physician

realized “that dealing with grief was like building physical endurance — you discover strength you didn’t know you had.” She told others what she needed. Sandberg’s struggle and loneliness were compounded by daily interactions with others that made her feel worse “because others weren’t acknowledging what I was going through, out of politeness or awkwardness.” She decided to write about how she felt on Facebook. The impact of her posts brought immediate, positive support. “Many began acknowledging what I was going through. They couldn’t make it go away, but they could say, ‘I see it.’” She followed the platinum rule. Sandberg knew the “golden” rule: to treat others as you want to be treated. When it comes to trauma, however, “we need to up our game and follow the platinum rule,” she says. “Treat others as they want to be treated.” By becoming more in tune with a person’s suffering, we can respond with
“understanding and thoughtful action,” she says. She let herself bounce forward. To do this, Sandberg found that journaling was extremely helpful. Writing about her life after loss helped her “sort through my overwhelming feelings and my all-too-many regrets.” On a daily basis for six months, Sandberg would write down three things she had done well that day. She learned that “people who suffer can bounce forward.” That’s the goal she had in mind for herself and her children. She allowed herself to reclaim joy. “Slowly, very slowly, a new sense of perspective began seeping into my daily life,” she writes. “It is the irony of all ironies to experience tragedy and come out of it feeling more grateful.” Sandberg began experiencing a greater appreciation for the parts of her life she took for granted: “family, friends, and simply being alive.” Victor M. Parachin, M.Div., is a grief counselor, bereavement educator, and author of several books, including Healing Grief.

8IBU UP %P 8IFO :PVS %PDUPS 8PO U -JTUFO By Claire Galloway Being sick is bad enough. When your illness is difficult to diagnose, it’s even harder. But when you’re sick, suffering from mysterious symptoms, and your doctor dismisses your concerns — and you — it’s worse still. “Of course doctors can’t know everything,” says activist Claire Galloway, author of A Call to Mind: A Story of Undiagnosed Childhood Traumatic Brain Injury (Brandylane Publishers, 2017). “But when patients — often women — find their condition undiagnosed and have their concerns dismissed, it can be truly disorienting. “Untrained in medicine ourselves, we rely on doctors to help us when we’re sick,” says Galloway. “Most of the time, that system works. And, most of the time, our bodies would heal even without help. “But, when they don’t, we need these doctors, and we rely on them to believe what we report to them. When they don’t, we initially feel humiliated to be discredited, but over time that humiliation grows into self-doubt.” If you are struggling to make your doctor listen to your health concerns and take them seriously, Galloway says you can take action today. These tips will help you advocate for yourself and your loved ones when you’re experiencing chronic or hard-to-diagnose symptoms. Make a plan. As you notice symptoms, take the time to write them down; note the time of day and if there was an obvious trigger. Reread the notes to

determine if there are correlations in time or activity dayto-day. Take your notes and observations to your medical appointment, and prioritize your questions and concerns in order of importance to make the best use of time. When you have an appointment, don’t go alone. “Bring your spouse, a family member, or neighbor who can corroborate the symptoms you are reporting,” says Galloway. “Having a trusted companion in your corner will help you present a united front that will be more difficult for the doctor to dismiss. In some cases, hiring a professional patient advocate might be advisable.” Keep an updated log that highlights important details. Include a timeline with important dates, symptoms, doctor and hospital visits, and new prescriptions. Email it to yourself whenever you update it and keep a few hard copies to hand to doctors. Mark key words in bold to make it easier for the doctor to scan items of importance. Do your own research. Go to the library or go online to learn all you can about your (or your loved one’s) symptoms. Make copies of supporting evidence. You might also want to contact local or national medical agencies to gather substantive information that matches your concerns. Take this documentation to your medical appointments as supportive evidence. Try to maintain composure. Staying calm during your appointment and presenting your concerns in a quantitative and objective manner, rather than emotionally, will help. When you feel frustrated in the midst of being dismissed and ignored, take a deep breath to maintain composure and refocus your energies back to what is important. Repeat yourself when necessary. “Speak up, even interrupt, during your allocated short appointment time,” says Galloway. “Make sure your concerns are being heard correctly and understood. Don’t be embarrassed to repeat yourself. “Ask questions that reflect concern, like: ‘How will this medicine or treatment help?’ Or, ‘Why is my loved one not getting this treatment?’” Make sure you understand instructions and the diagnosis. Repeat back your understanding of what the doctor is saying, so they can correct you if you have misunderstood. If you feel uncomfortable, say so. If your doctor is being condescending, you can speak your mind. Simply say, “I’m uncomfortable with the way you are speaking to me.” Ask for access to your medical records. You have the right to review your medical records (with a few exceptions) through the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), but these can be difficult to obtain. Some doctors maintain access through an online patient portal, though sometimes the doctor’s notes are not included. You can also go through a patient records department and might be charged a fee. www.50plusLifePA.com
If you think the information in your records is incorrect, HIPAA gives you the right to request amendments to your records. Some doctors may have left a note in your records that could be hindering you from being taken seriously. Even if a note by a previous doctor can’t be taken o, knowing it is there gives you the opportunity to explain and discuss it when you go in for an appointment with a new doctor. “If you feel like your doctor isn’t taking your concerns seriously, it’s
crucial not to give up or start doubting yourself,â€? concludes Galloway. “You know your body better than anyone else, and you have every right to ďŹ ght for the correct diagnosis. These tools can help you keep advocating for yourself or for someone you love.â€? Claire Galloway is the author of A Call to Mind: A Story of Undiagnosed Childhood Traumatic Brain Injury. She has been advocating for greater awareness of closed-head traumatic brain injury in children since 2008. www. acalltomindtbi.com

8BML UP &OE "M[IFJNFS T Alzheimer’s disease is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States and the fifth-leading cause of death for individuals age 65 and older. This devastating and debilitating disease is the ultimate thief — of memories, independence, control, time, and, ultimately, life. And the disease is often dealt with in silence. Those facing the disease feel a stigma surrounding their diagnosis and often don’t seek the support they need. At the Alzheimer’s Association, we hear from individuals daily that they “feel alone.” Family and friends stop visiting because of “abnormal” behavior — a symptom of the disease — and caregivers become more and more isolated. We want patients and their families to know that there is hope, and there is help, through the Alzheimer’s Association of Greater Pennsylvania.

There are more than 5 million Americans currently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia and more than 15 million caregivers. In Pennsylvania alone, there are more than 400,000 individuals diagnosed. We are here to provide education and support to the millions who face dementia every day, while advancing critical research toward methods of treatment and prevention, ultimately to end Alzheimer’s disease. We have offices locally and support groups throughout the region for those facing this disease to meet with others in similar situations. We also host the Walk to End Alzheimer’s. This is the association’s largest annual awareness and fundraising event, which occurs during the fall. The Walk to End Alzheimer’s is a day of hope, an opportunity — a day we all come together to see that we’re not alone in our fight. Some walk to honor and remember those they have lost. Some walk to share stories of living with Alzheimer’s or related dementias. Some walk so that future generations won’t have to face the debilitating and devastating effects of the disease. Some walk because they want to help make a difference and bring this disease to the forefront. The money raised allows our chapter to contribute to research to find a cure. These funds also help support programs and services that advance accurate and timely diagnosis of people with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. In addition, money raised ensures significant increases to affordable, highquality care and support for people with the disease and their caretakers. Help us break the silence and start the conversation. Join us, along with thousands of others in your community, at the Walk to End Alzheimer’s.

We are looking forward to seeing you at the 22nd annual Lancaster County 50plus EXPO. Each month, you enjoy the information that is included in 50plus -*'&, and the EXPO is a great complement to that. There are returning exhibitors as well as new ones. Your lives change from year to year, and what may not have been of interest to you last year may be of more importance to you this year. Or perhaps you have become a caregiver. Representatives from a wide array of businesses are looking forward to speaking with you about issues that are on your mind, whether that is caregiving, health, home improvements, ďŹ nances, leisure, travel, ďŹ tness, nutrition, or something else. Our 50plus EXPOs are eective forums for all those “hiddenâ€? community resources to gather in visible, easy-to-access locations! For your enjoyment, entertainment and demonstrations have been scheduled throughout the day, including helpful information on Medicare Advantage plans and physical therapy tips, as well as exercise and gardening demonstrations. Plus, Jack Hubley, multimedia nature advocate and 30-year host of WGAL News 8’s Wild Moment segments, will oer a close look at some live, native wildlife species, many of which can be found in our own backyards. Call your friend or neighbor and make plans now to attend. Or talk to your activity director to make sure they have the 50plus EXPO on their calendar, and hop on board the bus! OLP EVENTS and the Lancaster County OďŹƒce of Aging are happy to be able to present this dynamic, one-day event to our visitors free of charge. This day is made possible through the generous support of our sponsors. Please stop by their booths, have your bingo card signed, and talk with them about how they can assist you.

This includes oering support to many of the estimated 21 million children being raised by 13.6 million single parents in the U.S., as well as in households where both parents work fulltime. Grandparents can provide childcare while parents work, transport kids to and from school and appointments, attend school events and teacher conferences, and give parents a much-needed break. Many parents today raise their kids without much community support or in the face of negative inuences, such as poverty, gangs, crime, and drugs. And regardless of socioeconomic status, all kids face challenges — some old, some new. Bullying has always existed, yet previous generations did not have to cope with cyberbullying or contend with the amplifying eect social media has on who feels “inâ€? and who is “out.â€? In a time when the worst kinds of negative inuences are a click away for many kids, grandparents can provide love, support, and positive inuences. Here are some ways you can show your grandkids you love them, care about them, and are there for them:
By Robert Martin
Grandparents today are taking a larger role in the lives of their grandchildren, sharing the kids’ worries and joys, giving them love and support, and helping out harried and exhausted parents. With the retirement of the baby boomer generation, there are more grandparents than ever — an estimated 70 million in the U.S. Compared to previous generations, today’s grandparents are generally younger, more active, and more auent, allowing many to travel frequently to visit their kids and grandkids. One in ďŹ ve grandparents provides childcare regularly to their grandchildren, while increasing numbers are raising their grandkids alone, U.S. Sen. Susan Collins testiďŹ ed last year before the Senate Special Committee on Aging. These “custodial grandparentsâ€? are called on to help for a number of reasons, including alcohol and drug (SBOEQBSFOUT %BZ JT addiction, physical abuse, incarceration, divorce, ďŹ nancial 4VOEBZ 4FQU diďŹƒculties, military deployment, and even death. When grandparents are forced by often tragic circumstances to take on the role of parents, it’s an extremely challenging 1.

But when your However, as Collins pointed out, “Grandparents who help raise grandkids grandkids share thoughts, ideas, and feelings, put away criticism.

— Volunteer Opportunities — One of the available specialized volunteer opportunities at Lancaster County Office of Aging is that of APPRISE counselor. Counselors work with a diverse group of consumers with one commonality: There is some type of connection to Medicare. You may work with a consumer who is receiving Medicare and having problems with secondary coverage, or you may be helping the child of a Medicare consumer who’s trying to help a parent who doesn’t have drug coverage. APPRISE counselors meet with consumers who are new to Medicare, and they screen consumers to determine if they’re eligible for any benefits that help pay for the costs of Medicare. The orientation process includes shadowing experienced APPRISE counselors, working through online training modules, and attending new counselor training provided by the state Department of Aging. This process occurs during weekdays, mostly at the Office of Aging in Lancaster. For more information about this volunteer opportunity, contact Bev Via, volunteer coordinator, at (717) 299-7979 or aging@co.lancaster.pa.us.

2. Share compassionately. If you ask how they are doing, kids’ response will almost always be â€œďŹ ne.â€? Getting them to open up means ďŹ rst earning their trust. Try sharing a story about how you went through something similar when you were growing up. Showing your vulnerability will help them open up. 3. Celebrate what they do well. Encourage your grandkids to share what they love to do and uplift them with praise for good grades in school, acts of good citizenship with their friends and classmates, and their creative endeavors.

‘Invisible’ Heart Attacks Pose a Stealth Risk A heart attack is a terrifying, lifethreatening experience. It can be even scarier — and more dangerous — when you don’t realize it’s happening, and that’s apparently more common than had been thought. A study of almost 1,000 elderly men and women in Iceland found that 17 percent had suered an unrecognized heart attack caused by blood vessel blockage that had scarred their hearts, identiďŹ ed by MRI scanning. Fewer than 10 percent of the subjects had experienced any clear www.50plusLifePA.com
symptoms of heart distress. Of the more than 150 people who’d had heart attacks they weren’t aware of, 44 had died within eight years. Symptoms of heart attack can be mistaken for heartburn or the u: chest or stomach pain, shortness of breath, anxiety, lightheadedness, sweating, and nausea. Don’t take any chances. Even if you’re not reeling with pain from any of these warning signs, getting to an emergency room right away is essential to receiving the care you need.

Older But Not Wiser
What Am I Worth? Sy Rosen
Like most avid Antiques Roadshow viewers, I often look around my house trying to find some old hidden treasures. We have slightly cracked teacups, slightly cracked vases, and a slightly cracked coffee table (a lot of things in our house are slightly cracked, including me). I finally settled on a 47-yearold empty Pepsi bottle that I had put a flower in and given to my wife, Wanda, on our first date. I told Wanda that I was thinking of selling it. “How could you do that?!” she angrily asked. “I kept this Pepsi bottle because it was one of your few romantic gestures.” I ignored the word “few” and just felt lucky that Wanda didn’t use the word “only.” Like a dutiful husband, I nodded my head in agreement. I then secretly went on the internet to find the value of this rare Pepsi bottle. It must be worth a fortune, I kept thinking to myself. Unfortunately, I discovered it was worth somewhere between $6.99 and $8.99. I then went back to Wanda and, not mentioning my disappointing research, told her I wouldn’t sell the Pepsi bottle if it were worth $1 million. For some reason, I then started wondering what I would be appraised at if I went on Antiques Roadshow — not furniture, not artwork: me. I told you I was slightly cracked. Anyway, this is how it might go as an expert looked me over: www.50plusLifePA.com
“When we saw you walk in, we were all very excited,” the expert tells me. “Thank you,” I modestly reply. “You have a natural, grayish patina. It appears that nothing artificial has been done to enhance or alter it.” “I’ve never been to a spa,” I proudly tell him. “Collectors really like that,” the expert says. “And I can see by the roundness of your body that it too is in its natural state.” “I’ve never been to a gym,” I brag. “And it looks like your body has mostly avoided direct sunlight. Where do you usually keep it?” he then asks. “On the couch in front of the television,” I boast. “Unfortunately,” he says, “there is some wear and tear. You’re missing some hair, and you’ve lost a couple of inches of height, and there are wrinkles, liver spots, bad eyesight, cracked teeth, hearing loss, memory loss, and some significant sagging.” “Yes, it’s called life,” I tell him. “On the positive side, you have all of your original parts, except for your hip.” “Yes, I had a hip replacement.” “You don’t happen to have your original hip?” he asks. “No, there wasn’t room in the refrigerator,” I joke. He doesn’t laugh as he says, “That’s a pity. A collector would really like it.” “How much am I worth?” I ask, cutting to the chase. “Well, as I said, you’re not in mint

Fresh Fare
Make it Mediterranean Just like forward-thinking culinary artists, many at-home chefs seek out the next trendy flavor to provide friends and family gathered around the table. When pondering which trend you’ll dive into in the future, consider incorporating tastes from an especially influential international location: the Mediterranean Sea region. Considered by the experts at Les Dames d’Escoffier International (LDEI) in the organization’s 2018 Trends Report to be one of the most influential parts of the world on the American food scene, flavors from the Mediterranean Sea focus on a diet heavy on fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, seeds, and nuts. Take this hummus recipe, for example, which involves processing a host of beans, seeds, and seasonings to create a light, smooth dip to serve with anything from vegetables to crackers. Because the fare is typically lighter, small bites and salads such as this tomato, feta, and basil salad provide easy-to-prepare versions of Mediterranean cuisine. Incorporating vegetables (tomatoes and basil) along with the salty, milky flavors of feta cheese makes the salad a distinctly Mediterranean dish. Find full results from the report and learn more about the organization at LDEI.org.
