Who's Your "Wing Man"?

by Danita Nixon I have the honor to come in contact with a lot of older adults in the Loveland and Berthoud communities. One desire, that I hear over and over again, is a desire for real, old fashioned connection. It seems as we get older, our world gets smaller. Perhaps our families are busy doing their own ?thing?.

Our neighborhood which was once a place of strong connection is weakening as neighbors have moved or passed away. If one has lost a lifelong partner, then the loneliness can be even greater.

Our communities have worked diligently to create an environment where we can thrive as we age. There are many activities and opportunities for us to connect with our peers. And yet, for some, it just isn?t easy to drag ourselves out of our comfort zone into ?the unknown?.

This is where a ?wing man? comes in. It is amazing how much easier it is to do something new when you have a friend or a ?wing man? by your side. I can tell you firsthand, that I feel pretty invincible when I walk into a room with a wing man, as opposed to walking in all by myself!

If you are an outgoing, social butterfly in our community who doesn?t struggle with loneliness, I would encourage you become a ?wing man? to those in the community who are less social. Invite the single lady or gentleman down the street to accompany 4

you to an event at the Senior Center. If they say no, keep asking. Invite them to different types of events, at some point, hopefully they will say yes!

In our fast moving, digitally connected world, it is more important than ever that we reach out to one another to connect in person. If you are reading this article and are interested in connecting, and don?t know who to reach out to, I invite you to reach out to ME, (Danita). I would love to meet you and see how we can get you connected into the community.

Financial Exploit at ion and Abuse of t he Elder ly Unfortunately, financial abuse of the elderly is a common problem, and can come in several forms. The elderly are often targeted by identity thieves or fraudulent scams, and the elderly often suffer financial abuse from family members asserting undue influence or mismanaging assets. It is important to know how to protect yourself and your loved ones from financial exploitation.

Sadly, family members are the most likely culprit when financial exploitation of the elderly occurs. This can come in the form of family members requesting money from the elderly that may be forgetful of money they have lent in the past or forgetful of the money needed to meet their own needs.

Friends or family members may also exert pressure or undue influence on the elderly to convince them to change their will or to gift money away.

the social security administration or the IRS asking for personal information like social security numbers, and others. Never give your personal information out to anyone you do not know, and never provide sensitive information over the phone or internet. Most importantly, do n ot sen d ou t m on ey. If something seems suspicious, talk to a family member or friend before providing any information.

If you suspect a fiduciary is mismanaging assets, or if you have been target of a financial scam, contact Jorgensen, Brownell & Pepin for assistance today.

If you suspect someone you know is being taken advantage of financially, there are several ways to obtain protections for your loved one. Jorgensen, Brownell & Pepin can assist you in establishing a power of attorney or a conservatorship to handle the financial assets of your family member. This can be established with yourself serving as the power of attorney or conservator, or through the appointment of a third party.

The elderly are often the target of scammers and identity thieves. There have been cases of scammers posing as sweepstake officials and asking for money to transfer winnings, emails or phone calls of scammers posing as THRIVE Loveland - Berthoud

Loveland Table Tennis Team Headed t o t he 20 20 Summer Olympic Games!

By: Dan it a Nixon The Love-Landers Official Senior Table Tennis Team (a.k.a. ?LOSTTT?) has accomplished the unthinkable. They have qualified for the 2020 Summer Olympics to be held in Tokyo, July 24 2020. Can you believe it?

While table tennis has officially been a part of the summer Olympics since 1988, 2020 is the first year that a senior division is being added to the line-up. LOSTTT leader John ?smash?

Blankenship explains, ?When we heard the senior division was being added to the Olympics, we figured why not train and attempt to qualify for the U.S. Senior Olympic Team.

What do we have to lose? To say we are thrilled to be headed to the Olympics would be an understatement. We are so proud to be able to represent our fine city and country.?

To help fund the LOSTTT to get to the Olympics and to finance their commemorative statue.....please leave your cash where it is at.....april fools! You've been spoofed. While this team of table tennis players are serious, they seriously aren't going to the Olympics!

LOSTTT has six players attending the Olympics, four of which are primary players, and two which are alternates. If you want to see this amazing team in action, stop by the Chilsen Center on Monday, Wednesday or Thursday from 1:30 to 3:30 when they are in monster practice mode.

A team of LOSTTT supporters are in the process of having a bronze statue designed by a local artist to commemorate this hallmark event. The statue will be placed in the Dairy Queen parking lot right next to the bronze dolphin sculpture after the 2020 Olympics are held.

Dickens Alley

by Edie Sangiorgio Dickens Alley is one of downtown Loveland?s rare treasures. Located at 238 4th Street, the store, throughout its' existence has kept it?s roots in rare books, art, local artists, and antiques.

Don Pier son , Ow n er Dick en s Alley

Don Pierson, the owner, got hooked on collecting way back in college when his brother and sister-in-law, who were antique dealers at the time, gave him a starter set of Fiesta ware.

Something clicked in him and his love for the rare and unusual was born.

Originally trained as a classic French chef Don opened his first store in Glen Haven, CO. He manned the original Dickens Alley during the day and after closing he would go over to the Inn at Glen Haven where he was the head chef.

Around 2000, Don moved Dickens Alley to Loveland and operated his small enterprise from his home. Later he moved his store to a mall in Fort Collins, and in 2010 the space on 4th street became available and Dickens Alley has been there ever since.

When you visit Dickens Alley you take a trip back in time. One of Don's most unusual consignment items was a rare philosophy book, Leviathan, by Thomas Hobbes. It was published in the 1500?s and was valued between $10,000-$30,000.

Don prides himself on his collection of books particularly those by Enos A Mills who was the father of Rocky Mountain National Park and prints by Lyman Byxbe, famous for his etchings of the mountains in Colorado.

Anyone who is downsizing and has older items that they aren?t sure what to do with, should consider bringing them to Dickens Alley for Don to look at. He doesn?t give official appraisals but has a reputation for giving people great advice and a fair offer for those unique items that suit his store.

Dick en s Alley is open M on days n oon - 6 p.m . an d Tu esday t h r ou gh Sat u r day 10a.m . - 6p.m .

Cussler Car Museum

By Bob M cDon n ell

Few know that writer Clive Cussler has always had a great love for old cars. Cussler is the sole or lead author on 70 books. Cussler ?s books have hit the New York Times best-seller list more than 20 times.

Fortunately, for those living in northern Colorado, Cussler opened a car museum in Arvada.

season, some cars on display are swapped out for different ones.

Be aware the museum is only open from May to September. When open, the hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday through Thursday. The cost is $10 for adults, $8 for seniors over 65 and $5 for those 12 and younger. Photographs are allowed but no On Cussler 's website www.cusslermuseum.com, the tripods. now 87-year-old explains his early love for automobiles and how writing books helped him start his car collection. Some of the cars display the Cussler book which includes that particular vehicle as part of the story.

Finding the museum is a bit of a challenge. The exact address is 14959 West 69th Avenue, Arvada.

Watch for the old green pickup indicating the museum is to the west on a short stretch of 69th Avenue. Cussler once lived in the Arvada and Golden area, so that is why the museum ended up there.

The museum is a large, well-lit storage building.

Row after row of cars are on display in two rooms.

Additionally, the walls are adorned with old auto and gasoline signs. A sprinkling of gasoline pumps and automobilia also decorate the room.

The cars shown are too numerous to mention. They run the gamut from old Cords and Rolls-Royces to Bugattis, Auburns and Stanley vehicles.

America-made cars from the ?40s, ?50s and ?60s abound.

It 's About Time

By: Bob M cDon n ell

Pete Cowdin, a 72-year-old Berthoud resident, says he is on his fourth career. He emphatically states that this one is the most fulfilling. Pete is a certified clocksmith.

It took two years of training at the Denver Emily Griffith School to attain this certification.

is how Pete sees old clocks.

His compact, fully-equipped shop is steps away from his home at 605 West 7th Street, Berthoud. There, Pete cleans, repairs, adjusts and restores old clocks.

Pete states, ?I?ll never live long enough to get everything done that people want me to.? This is why Pete does some mentoring and refers business to new clock smiths.

Pete wants to give back as others helped him when he first started.

He started his business, Lone Wolf Clock Repair, Ltd., almost eight years ago. He is on job ticket # 741, and counting.

The ?work with clocks? seed was planned in Pete?s mind back in 1978. At that time, he built a kit grandfather clock and a smaller clock.

Pete says his draw to working on clocks is to help retain a part of history. His philosophy is ?to try to preserve as much heritage as I can.? Mechanical works of art 14

Lone Wolf Clock Repair, in the center of Berthoud, is very busy. Pete keeps it open Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. He cautions that people should call ahead since he goes on service calls and goes out to get parts.

?I will never retire," Pete says. Besides, he adds, ?You can only catch so many fish and play so much golf.?

So, for the foreseeable future, Pete will take the short walk to his shop as long as his eyes are sharp and his hands are steady. But for now, Pete has no extra time on his hands.

Legal View s Help Pr ot ect Vulner able Family Member s Fr om Scam Ar t ist s If you have older family members whose cognitive functions or decision making abilities have declined, or who are lonely or recently widowed, you might need to help protect them against financial scams. What steps should you take?

First of all, try to gain a good sense of their overall financial activity. Look for red flags, such as a reluctance to discuss money matters, consistently unpaid bills, unexplained withdrawals, mysterious wire transfers or a sudden need to purchase large quantities of gift cards. And watch out for new ?best friends? or caretakers who show an unusual interest in your loved one?s finances.

Whether or not you?ve observed any of these activities, you can help your elderly family members by making these moves: - Have checks (such as Social Security payments) directly deposited. You can help your family members avoid a lot of potential trouble by having their checks deposited directly into their bank accounts.

- Seek permission to become a joint account owner.

By becoming a joint account owner on your elderly family members? checking and savings accounts, you can review statements for suspicious activity.

Of course, your loved ones may be initially reluctant to add your name, but if you have a good relationship with them, you should be able to explain the benefits.

- Shred bank statements, credit card offers and notices of lottery or sweepstakes winnings. One of the most useful gifts you can give to your elderly family members may be a shredder. Encourage them to use it to shred old bank statements, credit card offers and other financial documents.

Money Matters

attorney, your loved ones can designate you or another trusted relative or friend to assist with their finances now ? for day-to-day assistance and protection from scammers ? and later, should they become incapacitated. Again, you will need to employ some sensitivity when discussing this issue.

- Check references of caretakers. As mentioned above, some caretakers are, unfortunately, dishonest. Before you hire one, check out this person?s references. And even when you do, be careful ? scam artists have been known to use accomplices as references, so you will need to be thorough in your research and questions.

- Get to know your family members? financial advisors. If possible, become acquainted with your older family members? financial advisors. Any reputable advisor will welcome a connection with their clients?loved ones. And if you are involved in any estate plans, this multi-generational relationship will prove beneficial for everyone.

- Ask to meet any new ?friends? they have met online. When someone is lonely, they become vulnerable to online friendships. Sometimes, these new friends make promises of meeting, but never show ? and then they suddenly need money for one reason or another.

It can be challenging to guard against all threats posed by the scammers of the world. But by staying alert and taking the appropriate preventive actions, you may be able to help safeguard your loved ones?financial security.

- Get on a ?do not call? list. Telephone scammers are persistent and devious. By registering your family members? house and cell phones at www.donotcall.gov, you may be able to reduce their exposure to unwanted calls.

Join t he Tr easur e Hunt - Geocaching Did you know that there is hidden treasure all around Loveland? These treasures are found in "caches", which are a part of a global hobby called Geocaching. Geocaching was started in 2000, when global positioning satellites were upgraded to give them greater accuracy.

Dave Ulmer, a computer consultant from Beaver Creek, Oregon, wanted to test the accuracy of the upgraded GPS system by hiding a navigational target in the woods. He called the idea the "Great American GPS Stash Hunt" and posted it in an internet GPS users group.

The idea was simple: Hide a container out in the woods and note the coordinates with a GPS unit. The Finder would then have to locate the container with only their use of a GPS receiver.

The rules for the finder were simple: "Take some stuff, leave some stuff. Thus Geocaching was officially born.

In 2000 there were approximately 75 geocaches on record, now there are more than 3 million active geocaches hidden in 191 different countries over all seven continents including Antartica. There are 2,350 geocaches located in Loveland, CO! Geocaching is a wonderful intergenerational hobby for kids ages 1 - 100! It is a fun way to 16

spend time outdoors, and will often lead you to go places you wouldn't have gone otherwise.

Geocaches come in all sizes, some are small enough to fit in a crack on a fence post (micro-caches or small caches). Medium and large caches usually have a container filled with small trinkets (unfortunately no cash) and you take a trinket and leave a trinket.

In order to geocache, one must have access to the location of the caches.

This is accomplished through a membership with geocach in g.com . They have a three month trial account which would give you a good amount of time to try out the hobby.

There are two options: either go on the computer and get geo-coordinates from geocaching.com to use with a GPS device, or you can download an app onto your phone and use your smart phone as a GPS device.

The phone is usually the easiest way for most people to geocache.

We invite you to become part of this high tech, intergenerational treasure hunt! Your grand kids (and maybe even your spouse) will thank you!

Tell u s abou t you r f am ily.

Mary and I have five children and will be married 35 years this summer. Our oldest daughter lives in California and our oldest son and his wife live in Washington D.C. Our two younger girls live together in Denver and Luke is a Junior at Mountain View. We enjoy spending time outdoors, hiking and walking our dogs.

We u n der st an d you ar e n ew t o Lovelan d. Wh at br ou gh t you h er e?

After a 28-year practice at Pella, Iowa, and having gone through brain surgery to successfully remove a tumor, my wife, Mary, and I were ready for a change in our lives. While visiting Mary?s family in Denver several years ago, we decided to look into moving to Colorado. With only one of our five children still at home, we decided this was as good a time as ever to make the move. We were attracted to Loveland?s friendly people, more wholistic environment for healthcare, its weather, and its natural beauty.

Wh y did you becom e a ch ir opr act or ?

My interest in becoming a chiropractor was sparked by my history of chronic headaches, and the life changing results that my wife?s grandfather experienced via chiropractic care.

How can you h elp people as t h ey age?

I?m passionate about helping people regain and maintain their health with safe and effective chiropractic and nutritional care, helping patients maintain their independence. I?ve been blessed to witness many patients personally experience the old saying, ?Chiropractic can add years to your life and life to your years.? We personalize the care we provide by offering several different chiropractic and nutritional techniques to help our patients achieve their health goals.

Our office provides nutritional supplements like CBD oil from Loveland?s own Sentinel Mountain, along with many other products from Standard Process, Nutri West, Triguard and Thorn.

Research shows that these products help to reduce pain, improve cognitive function, along with many other health benefits.
