Is This Thing On?

Tips for Safely Shopping Online Abby Stokes

You can’t see or touch the merchandise, so what makes online shopping so appealing?

Well, the following three aspects, for starters: 1. Comforts of Home: You don’t need to leave your home (or office) to shop. Therefore, no parking hassles, no waiting in long lines, and no fighting for the last iPhone on the shelf.

2. Global Access: Stores all over the world are at your fingertips.

3. Savings: Online retailers save on personnel and other overhead costs.

They often pass the savings on to you.

website of a “brick-and mortar” store you frequent in your area. If you shop at Home Depot, visit their website: www.homedepot.com. Is Macy’s one of your shopping spots? Visit www. macys.com.

Or you could pop into the website of a catalog that you patronize.

Perhaps you are a Crate & Barrel (www.crateandbarrel.com) fan or a Harriet Carter (www.harrietcarter. com) loyalist.

Be On the Lookout If, at any time, you see a customerservice number, jot it down.

Websites are notorious for concealing their contact numbers.

For reasons of cost, most sites prefer all correspondence to be by email.

I may be old fashioned, but when I have a complaint or question, I’d like the option to speak to a human being.

If you return to the website seeking out their telephone number,

Where We Belong: Journeys that Show Us the Way

You have to be somewhere today.

There’s no hurry or schedule to follow, but you must get there on time. You don’t have a map or itinerary and the destination might be a surprise, but once you arrive, as happens in the new book Where We Belong by Hoda Kotb (with Jane Lorenzini), you’ll be in exactly the right place.

It’s natural: a turn of the calendar, and you’re feeling some inner restlessness. It’s OK to admit it, says Kotb: You sense that there’s more to life, and you yearn to find it. The good news is that it’s never too late to start working toward that perfect spot in your world; in fact, here, Kotb introduces readers to people who did.

Michelle Hauser grew up in Mason City, Iowa, living sometimes with her mother and sometimes with her father.

By age 10, she skillfully ran a household; at 12, she landed a paying job because she sensed a need for self-sufficiency; at 14, she worked in a restaurant, where her love of cooking was cemented.

She ultimately became a chef, but throughout her life, she always harbored a dream of being a doctor. It would be even better if her two passions could unite …

Craig Juntenen never wanted children and had taken steps to ensure that it didn’t happen; his wife, Kathi, had known about his tenets when they were dating, and

Where We Belong: Journeys That Show Us the Way

By Hoda Kotb with Jane Lorenzini c. 2016, Simon & Schuster 272 pages she accepted them.

She was, therefore, very surprised when Craig came home after a golf outing and announced that he had an idea that ultimately changed their lives and their family, when two became five …

Kay Abrahams grew up in the lap of luxury with everything she wanted—except parental attention, which she longed for.

Her parents loved her, that was a fact, but they were busy with careers and had little time for her.

Eventually, she fell into the same situation, but a move halfway across the country helped her find the “family” she needed.

And for successful businessman

Lindley DeGarmo, the move away from a sales career meant moving toward a job closer to his heart— and to his soul.

So where’s your turning point?

It won’t be identical to the ones you’ll find inside Where We Belong, but you’ll get a lot of inspiration just the same—you’ll also get a lot of same. Indeed, the stories here are all very similar and, with one exception, preexisting wealth shows up quite often in the tales. That may turn a few readers off.

And yet, who doesn’t struggle with New Year’s resolutions?

If you’ve made ’em, then you probably do, and author Hoda Kotb (with Jane Lorenzini) offers something here that’ll energize you: true, encouraging stories.

If those everyday people can identify, find, and accomplish lifechanging goals, surely you can, too.

And so, in the end, I mostly enjoyed Where We Belong. It’s a happy book, perhaps just what’s needed to start a year with myriad possibilities. And if you’re eager for that, then this book belongs in your hands.

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.

Who’s Drinking All the Coffee?

Lots of people depend on coffee to get them through the day. According to figures from Gallup, 64 percent of U.S. adults drink at least one cup a day.

Some drink more: • One cup: 26 percent • Two cups: 19 percent

• Three cups: 8 percent • Four or more: 11 percent • None: 36 percent Coffee is somewhat more popular with the older generation, with 74 percent of people 55 or older drinking it daily, a habit shared by just 50 percent of the 18-to-34 crowd.

Women drink a little more than men: Sixty-six percent of women report having one or more cups per day, while 62 percent of men say the same.

And Caucasians drink more than African-Americans—67 to 59 percent.

Salute to a Veteran

Robert D. Wilcox

In World War II He Flew for the Yanks … and for the Brits

At age 94, Richard Boyd is a clear reminder of Hollywood’s handsome Errol Flynn. And he has a dashing past to match, virtually all of which was devoted to aviation.

The exploits started for him in 1941 in his native England, when he was 19 and volunteered for service with the Royal Air Force (RAF) as a crewmember. He was selected for pilot training and began flying the Tiger Moth single-engine biplane.

And just before he was to solo, his whole world changed.

The chief of the U.S. Army Air Corps, “Hap” Arnold, had proposed that a limited number of British young men be trained in our aviation cadet program. Boyd was one of five picked from his group and soon was on his way to the U.S. via a holding base in New Brunswick, where a

group of soon-to-be cadets was being assembled.

Then, in 1942 he was sent to

Albany, Ga., to join the aviation cadet class of 42-I, flying the Stearman PT-17. Did he wear an American uniform?

“All but the forage cap, which earmarked me as a Brit,” he says.

In succession then followed basic flying at Macon, Ga., and advanced flying at Valdosta, Ga., where he

got his U.S. wings and RAF rank of pilot officer (the equivalent of our 2nd lieutenant).

He then shipped to Toronto in 1943, where he most memorably met and dated the winsome Rita Mary O’Gorman (more on that later).

It was there that he also was unexpectedly picked to be one of five pilots from his group of 60 to go to Texas to attend the Army Air Corps Central Instructors School at Kelly Field. Having completed that instructor training, he was assigned to Ellington Field in Houston, where he served as an instructor pilot in AT-9s and AT-10s.

In December, he was called back to the RAF, and he shipped from New York for Europe aboard the Queen Mary. What was that like?

With a chuckle, he says, “It was

a madhouse. With 16,000 troops aboard, there were bunks stacked everywhere. Mine was actually on the bridge of the vessel.”

The Queen Mary was the largest and fastest troopship during World War II. In her seven years of wartime service, she ran an unescorted, zigzag course for 569,429 miles as she carried 765,429 troops across the Atlantic to England.

Arriving in Liverpool, Boyd was sent to Scotland to train to fly the British way. He laughs at the way a sergeant pilot said, “I understand that you trained in the American Air Force.” When Boyd agreed that he had, the sergeant said briskly, “Ah … we’ll soon correct that.”

That was followed by flying the twin-engine Wellington, then the four-engine Stirling, and finally the formidable, four-engine Lancaster.

That amazing bomber could carry almost its own weight with 33,000 pounds of fuel and bombs. It was the only plane that could handle the RAF’s giant, 22,000-pound, specialpurpose bomb, the Grand Slam.

While we think of the Brits as bombing in the night while we bombed by day, the RAF bombed a lot by day, as well. Boyd, for example, flew 11 missions by day and 22 at night.

At night, he was four times picked to be “marker crew,” which dropped flares to light up the target. He remembers one night when he had a problem with his radar over Dresden and had to face the flak during three runs over the target to hit it.

He also recalls a daylight mission when they were to bomb German troops at the east end of the Remagen Bridge over the Rheine, only to be called away at the very last minute upon learning that the Yanks had now crossed the bridge and actually were the troops below them.

For his wartime service, Boyd was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross.

On V-E Day, Boyd was at home on leave and was assigned to transport

command, where he flew Stirling bombers that had been converted to carry troops and equipment to Karachi, India, to fight the Japanese.

What was the closest he ever came to buying the farm?

Scratching his chin, he says, “That has to be the time after the war when I was flying in a York transport plane as an observer. We crashed on landing, and I spent six months in the hospital in a full-body cast. That’s a time I don’t even want to think about.”

Leaving the RAF in 1947, Boyd worked as a flight operations officer for British Overseas Airways. He had been corresponding regularly with Rita, that girl in Toronto, and only then when he had a real job did he feel that he could send the letter that said, “Will you marry me?” along with a one-way ticket to England on the Queen Mary.

Even though they hadn’t been together in person in four years, she came, they quickly married, and for 68 years have never regretted the decision.

In 1951, Boyd joined the Dutch airline KLM for five years before Swissair asked him to work for them and open a New York City office.

To do that, he and Rita came to New York, where they lived on Long Island.

Boyd became operations manager, North America, in 1969 and retired in 1986 after 30 years with the company.

With his complimentary airline tickets, he and Rita have literally traveled the world.

They came to Central Pennsylvania in 2013 to live in one of its retirement communities. And Boyd is proud of the space it gives him for a “war room” in which he keeps a treasure trove of aviation books, pictures, documents, and awards … all that reminds him of the lifetime he’s been privileged to spend in the cutting-edge world of aviation.

Colonel Wilcox flew a B-17 bomber in Europe in World War II.

Wet AMD Treatments For wet AMD, there are several effective medications (Lucentis, Avastin, and Eylea) available that can stop vision loss and may even restore it. These medications are given by injection into the eye and repeated

Note that each of these three drugs works equally in treating wet AMD, but there’s a big cost difference. Avastin costs just $50 per month, compared with $2,000 for the other two. So experts recommend Avastin as the first choice for most people with wet AMD, especially if you don’t have supplemental Medicare coverage.

Former Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Vince Papale encouraged people to tackle challenges during a recent appearance in Lebanon County.

Papale’s speech celebrated the recent opening of WellSpan Good Samaritan Hospital’s Sechler Family Cancer Center in Lebanon.

The state-of-the-art, $13 million facility offers comprehensive, integrated care, including chemotherapy, infusion therapy, and radiation treatment, as well as support services offered by physicians, pharmacists, a social worker, and a dietitian.

The center focuses on treating the most common forms of cancer: breast, prostate, lung, colon, and bladder.

In a wideranging presentation Former Eagles wide receiver Vince Papale called “From speaking to the crowd during his recent Invisible to presentation in Lebanon County.

Invincible,” the former professional football player recalled his improbable 1976 tryout for the NFL team as a 30-year-old schoolteacher.

Papale also described how his story was told in the 2006 movie Invincible, starring Mark Wahlberg.

Papale said his belief in himself and his dream helped him achieve his goal of playing for the Eagles, where he spent three seasons.

He had to face another challenge again in 2001, when he was diagnosed with colon cancer at the age of 55. He recognized the courage that all cancer survivors display in their battle against the disease during his presentation at the historic Allen Theatre in Annville.

Donations Needed for Valentine’s Food Drive Traditions of Hershey invites the community to help them spread the love this February with a Valentine’s food drive.

CCRC Continuing Care

Retirement Communities CCRCs offer a tiered approach to the aging process, accommodating residents’ unique and often changing needs.

Healthy adults entering a CRCC are able to live independently in a home, apartment, or condominium of their own within the community.

When assistance with everyday activities becomes necessary, they can move into personal care, assisted living, rehabilitation, or nursing care facilities. Some CCRCs have designated dementia areas within the community. These units address the progressing needs of people who have any form of dementia.

With a wealth of available resources, these communities give older adults the option to live in one location for the duration of their lives, with much of their future care already figured out — which equals both comfort and peace of mind.

Cover Story: On Life and Love after 50

Tom Blake

Greetings, Introductions, and 10 Tips for Finding Love My writing scope has broadened to: “On life and love after 50,” as older singles deal with life issues often beyond the scope of just dating.

My advice is applicable to anyone age 50 to 90. Yes, I know people in their 90s who have found love.

While my articles target singles, approximately 35 percent of my readers are married. Many tell me that reading about the hardships singles endure encourages them to appreciate their spouses more. My advice to married couples is usually pretty simple: Stay together and work out any issues.

Let’s have fun together.

Maybe we can help some older singles find love. But to continue writing about senior dating, I need input from readers—your questions, comments, and stories about life and love after 50.

Email me at tompblake@gmail. com and I will respond within a day or two, unless I’m traveling overseas.

Who knows? We might include you in a column.

One thing is certain: As more

Puzzle Solutions

I am honored, especially on Valentine’s Day, to be introduced to your newspaper. I have a warm spot in my heart for Pennsylvania. My mother was born in Erie.

My column started when two female editors in Dana Point, Calif., gave me my first writing assignment.

I had just gone through a divorce and thought dating would be easy. It turned out to be difficult, and I wrote about the frustrations of a single guy in his early 50s trying to date again.

I complained and whined that younger women wouldn’t go out with me and women my age expected me to pay for dates.

The editors felt that the single women in Southern California would have a field day taking potshots at my woe-is-me message.

They were right. When my first column ran, a woman said: “Who is this sniveling puke?” Another said, “Get the boy a crying towel.”

Women told me my writing became less controversial when I started dating my life partner, Greta.

I’ve written approximately 3,500 articles and newsletters on finding love in the later years, and writing on this topic has been good to me.

I’ve published three books and have been interviewed by Matt Lauer on the Today show and Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America—very humbling.

Tom’s 10 Tips for Finding a Mate My life partner, Greta, and I had dinner with a widower friend of ours after Christmas.

As we were leaving the restaurant, he said, “I don’t want to be alone anymore. But I don’t know how to meet a potential mate. What do you advise?”

I put together a list that would help him get started. I call it Tom’s 10 Tips for Finding a Mate. The tips apply to both men and women.

1. Let friends, family, and acquaintances know that you’d like to meet other singles. That’s what Ken did with me. He let me know that he was rejoining the human race and wanted to meet new people.

The more people he gets the word out to, the better his chances of finding someone. It’s called networking. And it works.

A week after Ken asked for advice, I received an email from a single woman in his city. I asked each one of them separately if they’d like to correspond. They said yes. Had Ken not mentioned his situation to me, I wouldn’t have thought about introducing them.

2. Get off the couch and out of the house. You won’t meet anybody sitting at home. You need to be where you will meet new people.

Sure, it takes energy and time, but it will give you a purpose. Attend weddings, reunions, church activities, dances, and accept all invitations to events.

Volunteer. Another widower I know volunteers at a nearby hospital twice a week and helps feed the homeless at his brother’s church twice a month. He’s met single women at both places.

3. Go out to enrich your life and meet new people. Do not go out solely to find a mate.

People looking too hard come off as desperate and end up turning off the opposite sex. Often, it’s when we aren’t looking that we meet someone special.

and more people become single later in life, there are always new and challenging issues.

People often tell me, “I never thought I’d be single at this stage in my life.” My hope is to help as many of them as possible.

4. Pursue activities you enjoy where both sexes are involved. For guys repairing old cars, you likely won’t meet a potential mate. Ditto for women who are quilting.

5. Get the body moving. Walk and exercise. Be friendly to folks you see along the way. Offer to walk with them if appropriate.

6. Keep expectations in check.

Meeting a potential mate won’t be easy, but don’t give up. It takes time.

7. Internet dating is one method of meeting potential mates. For people living in remote areas, online dating may be a necessity to meet new people.

For people 50-plus, online dating is risky. There are scammers and evil people looking for vulnerable and lonely singles. However, it has worked for lots of couples.

If a guy online sounds too good to be true, he is. Trust your instincts.

Don’t be naïve.

8. Smile and be friendly, positive, and upbeat. If you are in a post-

office line, or a grocery-store line, be assertive by striking up a conversation—but don’t be overly pushy about it.

9. Check out the website Meetup (www.meetup.com). There is no cost and they have clubs and groups across the U.S. that cover all kinds of special interests.

Pick some different ones and attend them. You will be enriching your life and making new friends.

10. Subscribe to my weekly On Life and Love after 50 e-newsletter at www.

FindingLoveAfter60.com. There is no cost. More than 1,000 singles ages 50 to 90 from across the country share their experiences, frustrations, and successes.

Above all, recharge your batteries and get out and meet new people. I’m betting our friend Ken will be up and running in no time.
