HEART ATTACK FACTS:

• 37% of all deaths in the United States are related to heart disease, making it the largest single cause of natural death. Heart disease kills twice as many people as all forms of cancer combined. The major causes are smoking, fatty diet, high blood pressure, obesity, stress, heredity, lack of exercise, and diabetes. It is an illness produced of man’s environment. Before 1900, heart attacks were very rare. The rate of heart disease increased so sharply between 1940 and 1967 that the World Health Organization called it the world’s most serious epidemic.

• Every single cell in the heart is guided by an electrical impulse which synchronizes the heartbeat so all muscle cells contract in unison to pump the blood. During a heart attack, the cells begin firing out of turn so the efficiency of the heart is lost and the blood does not get pumped. When doctors shock the heart, the shock overrides each cell’s individual firing mechanism and once again synchronizes every cell, hopefully getting them all to work together again.

• Heart disease is the number one killer of men and women. About a quarter of a million women will have a serious heart attack this year. It’s true that estrogen gives women a healthy edge in fighting heart disease, but after menopause, the risk increases yearly till women are equal with men. Between the ages of 45 and 65, one out of nine women will show symptoms of heart disease, compared to one in seven men. But after age 65, the ratio jumps to one in three, which is equal to that of men. However, studies have shown that in the first weeks following a heart attack, women are twice as likely to die as men. Furthermore, more women die during bypass surgery than do men. Why? • Some doctors say it’s due to a combination of factors. One is that when men go to a doctor and complain of chest pains, doctors automatically think of heart disease. But when women complain of chest pains, doctors may still think of heart trouble as a “man’s disease” and will look for other causes first. Furthermore, some doctors tend to think of women as having more psychosomatic illnesses than men. Women too are at fault, for a study has shown that they tend to wait longer than men before going to the hospital for help, increasing their chance of complications. • One cardiovascular surgeon theorizes that another reason more women die during bypass surgery is because they have proportionately smaller arteries, making the surgery more difficult. • Men suffer heart attacks an average of ten years earlier in life than women, but women are twice as likely to die from their first heart attack as men. • It’s estimated that 90% of heart disease could have been prevented. • On average, one person dies of a heart attack every minute in the U.S. Paying Top Prices for Copper, Brass, Aluminum, & Aluminum Cans Cash for Junk Autos, Appliances, Tin, Sheet Metal, & Scrap Iron

We Offer Commercial & Industrial Scrap Container Service Emergency Call List Should Include Pets and have that information ready just in case something happens while they’re settling in. -Curtis, via email

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I wanted to pass along a suggestion to your readers. Last summer, we moved to a new city. The day after we moved in, our cat “Lace” became critically ill in the middle of the night. With no Internet connection set up, my wife used her slow, older smartphone to look up a 24-hour emergency clinic. We found one that was a 30-minute drive away. Lace got there in time and has recovered pretty well, but it haunts me that it took us nearly 20 minutes to look up the location of that clinic. Please tell your readers that they should write down the number and address of their pet’s regular veterinarian and the nearest emergency vet clinic on their list of important numbers, and keep it next to their home phone or saved on their cellphone. If they are moving to a new area, they should look up the clinics nearest their new home

DEAR CURTIS: You told them, and I thank you! This is an era when many people no longer have a phonebook waiting for them on the day they move in (something that was almost standard 20 or so years ago). Instead, we rely on Internet and cellphone connections to get critical information. The plus side of having an Internet connection is being able to look up important locations -- such as the vet, the emergency clinic, the doctor and dentist ... and the nearest pizza place -- before leaving your old city. Having a contact list, both on paper and stored on your computer or cellphone, also is important in an emergency such as a house fire or a natural disaster.

Welcome to Goose Tips! OPINION--I’m not quite sure where 1969 stands in history, but I know it has to rank up there as far as how improbable it truly was. Broadway Joe Namath led the underdog New York Jets to win in Super Bowl III, the first artificial heart was implanted in a human, we celebrated Neil Armstrong and the Miracle Mets. There was a certain ying and yang...it was the year that John and Yoko became a couple. This month, we will also pay homage to a little gathering held in upstate New York in 1969, Woodstock. That’s right, you’re not tripping and your math is not off. This year actually marks the 45th anniversary of the Woodstock Festival. Thirty-two bands were set to perform, only one, Iron Butterfly, didn’t make the show. Joni Mitchell was asked to perform but decided to stay behind to appear on late night television. She did make up for this by writing the Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young hit, “Woodstock” after missing the concert to appear with Dick. Whole New York State thruway was shut down due to the massive crowd. In the crowd of 400,000 plus, there were no reported acts of violence and two births were reported; even though to this day no one has come forward claiming to be a Woodstock baby. Woodstock will, on its’ 45th anniversary, be regaled as the greatest rock’n’roll concert ever. Just 45 years after Woodstock, the Wounded Goose is celebrating its’ 5th year. We have Wild Game every Friday and now serving beer and wine...The Wounded Goose, we have a lot of competition, but out food doesn’t!

HEART OF THE PROBLEM

• About 600,000 Americans die of heart attacks each year. 350,000 of them die before they can even reach a hospital. • Cardiovascular problems are responsible for over half the deaths of people over age 65. • A quarter of the people who die of heart attacks show no previous sign of disease. • Stress plays a role in 70% of all illnesses. People under stress are six times as likely to have a heart attack as those under little stress. • The heart of a typical alcoholic may be twice the size it should be. • Smoking is responsible for 100,000 deaths from lung cancer and 170,000 deaths from heart attacks each year. • •

•

CUTTING THE RISKS People with coronary heart disease are 30% less likely to suffer from blocked arteries if they regularly take naps during the day. Females who jog an average of 27 miles per week are sick an average of two days per year, compared to eleven sick days for female nonrunners. Male runners missed an average of 1.5 days per year compared to 4.4 sick days for male non-runners. People who work in factories with high noise levels have higher rates of cardiovascular disease, digestive disorders, and circulatory problems than those with quieter workplaces. A study of 45,000 men done by the Harvard University School of Public Health showed coffee does not increase the risk of heart attack or stroke as long as fewer than six cups per day are consumed. Smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee at the same time raises the blood pressure. The combination of caffeine and nicotine also stops the effects of many high blood pressure medications. This spells danger for those whose blood pressure is already too high.

• On Sept. 10, 1813, in the first unqualified defeat of a British naval squadron in history, U.S. naval commander Oliver Hazard Perry leads a fleet of nine American ships to victory over a squadron of six British warships. After the battle, Perry sent a famous dispatch to U.S. Gen. William Henry Harrison that read, “We have met the enemy, and they are ours.” • On Sept. 11, 1857, Mormon guerillas, stoked by a deep resentment of decades of public abuse and federal interference, murder 120 emigrants at Mountain Meadows, Utah. The conflict apparently began when the Mormons refused to sell the emigrants any supplies. • On Sept. 14, 1959, a Soviet rocket bearing a Russian flag crashes into the moon’s surface. Vice President Richard Nixon expressed some sour grapes by noting that it took the Soviets four tries to hit the moon and reassured Americans that “We are way ahead” in the space race. • On Sept. 9, 1966, President Lyndon Johnson signs the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act and the Highway Safety Act into law. The two bills made the federal government responsible for setting and enforcing safety standards for cars and roads. • On Sept. 12, 1972, after nearly 40 years of riding across millions of American TV and movie screens, the cowboy actor William Boyd, best known for his role as Hopalong Cassidy, dies at the age of 77. Boyd was to be the first cowboy actor to make the transition from movies to television. • On Sept. 13, 1980, country music artist Willie Nelson and his band perform at the White House with President Jimmy Carter in attendance. Later that night, unbeknownst to the president, Nelson allegedly retired to the White House roof to smoke a marijuana cigarette. • On Sept. 8, 1998, St. Louis Cardinals slugger Mark McGwire hits his 62nd home run of the year, breaking Roger Maris’ record. McGwire was celebrated as a hero, though allegations that he used performance-enhancing substances have since led some to question the legitimacy of his accomplishments.

• It was German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche who made the following sage observation: "We have art to save ourselves from the truth." • If you live in Waukegan, Illinois, you might be surprised to learn that your property tax is 12 times higher than it would be if you lived in Honolulu. • If you can't remember the word you want to use, you're suffering from lethologica. But you probably won't remember that when it happens. • A hummingbird weighs less than a penny. • Have you ever made a bet when you'd been drinking too much, and later wondered what you'd been thinking? If so, it might make you feel better to consider the case of a pilot named Thomas Fitzpatrick. In 1956, he was drinking at a bar in New York City when a rather boisterous argument ensued regarding his flying ability. To prove his skills to his drinking buddies, Fitzpatrick went to New Jersey, stole a small plane and landed it on the street in front of the Manhattan bar -- all while allegedly drunk. The story, remarkable as it is, doesn't end there, however. A couple of years later he was boasting about the incident, but his story was met with disbelief. To prove himself once again, he repeated the stunt. •The name of the state of Idaho comes from the KiowaApache word "idaahe," which means "enemy." • Every spring, one of the world's great migrations occurs. At the end of March, 500,000 cranes descend upon an 80-mile stretch of Nebraska land, representing about 80 percent of all the cranes on the planet. Thought for the Day:"I am ready to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter." -- Sir Winston Churchill (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

FAST FACTS In 1933 at the age of 58, Wilson Mizner had a heart attack in Hollywood, where he was a screen writer. When he regained consciousness, he was asked if he wanted to see a priest. “I want to see a priest, a rabbi, and a Protestant clergyman,” he said. “I want to hedge my bets!” When a priest came to his deathbed, Mizner waved him away, saying, “Why should I talk to you? I’ve just been talking to your boss!” He died shortly afterwards, reportedly with a smile. Walter Matthau had a heart attack in the middle of filming The Fortune Cookie in 1966. He resumed filming five months later. In the movie, he goes out the door and comes back in again forty pounds lighter. In 1975 Philadelphians re-elected Francis O’Donnell to the city council even though he had died of a heart attack a week earlier. There wasn’t time to change the ballots. In 1973 two white cops in New York were giving mouth-to-mouth to a Puerto Rican woman who had suffered a heart attack and collapsed. A crowd of Puerto Ricans gathered and thought the cops were assaulting the woman. The policemen didn’t speak Spanish and the Puerto Ricans didn’t speak English. The mob beat the two cops. Les Boatwright died of a heart attack a week before the Super Bowl XXIII game, to which he had two tickets. Knowing he wouldn’t want to miss the game, his two sons took the tickets, and his ashes, to the game. Giuseppe De Mai was born with two hearts beating in his chest. In 1894 he signed a contract with the London Academy of Medicine, and was paid $15,000 for permission to study his hearts after his death. THE FINAL FACT Rabbits who were cuddled for one hour a day suffered one-third the amount of heart disease as rabbits who received no cuddles.

• John Hopps was born in Winnipeg in 1919. After receiving a degree in electrical engineering from the University of Manitoba in 1941, he joined the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) in 1942. He was researching hypothermia and experimenting with radio frequency heating to restore body temperature when he came to the attention of Dr. Wilfred Bigelow and Dr. John Callaghan at the Banting Institute in the University of Toronto. • This team of surgeons was researching methods of heart surgery. Dr. Bigelow believed that the only way cardiovascular medicine could advance was by enabling open-heart surgery. Based on his experience as a field medic during World War II, he was convinced that cooling the body and slowing the heart rate was the way to go. One of the challenges the surgeons faced was keeping the heart beating while the body was hypothermic. During an experimental surgery on a dog, they noticed that stimulating a stopped heart with an electrical probe could restart it, and that sending pulses of electrical current could actually change the heart’s rate. It was “a tremendous bit of good fortune,” said Dr. Bigelow in an interview about the discovery with the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame. To turn this discovery into a clinical device, they recruited John Hopps. • John Hopps went to work designing the world’s first pacemaker. The first model, an external pacemaker developed in 1951, was about the size of a shoebox and needed to be plugged into an electrical outlet to work. It used vacuum tubes to generate electrical pulses. An insulated wire inserted through the jugular vein delivered the electric shocks to the right atrium of the heart. These shocks provided the artificial pacing. (cont’d)

Royal Ruby Glass Q: I have four saucers, four teacups and a sugar and creamer in Royal Ruby glass. It has such a beautiful color, I am curious about how it was made. -- Raynette, Springdale, Ark. A: Although the ancient Egyptians were known to make red glass, most of the pieces seen in American shops and antiques malls are of fairly recent vintage. The 1920s and ‘30s saw pieces being manufactured, and after a lull, production picked up again during the 1940s when Anchor Hocking introduced its pattern of Royal Ruby. The company used copper to achieve its rich color. Some of this type of glass used gold, but its use was, of course, much more expensive to produce. This glass was made in a variety of hues, from the deep-red colors of ruby to the lighter shades of cranberry. The Royal Ruby glass produced by Anchor Hocking is plentiful and fairly inexpensive. Most collectors are especially interested in the preWorld War II pieces. Prices vary, but I would think your teacups and saucers are worth about $35 for the set, the sugar and creamer about half that amount. Q: My daughter’s husband came from a

JOHN HOPPS, cont’d It would be another ten years before internal pacemakers became a reality. The turning point was the invention of small silicon transistors to replace vacuum tubes. This technology allowed pacemakers to become small enough to be implanted in the body. The first recipient of an internal pacemaker was Arne Larsson of Sweden in 1958. The prototype was about the size of a tin of shoe polish. Over his lifetime, Mr. Larsson received 28 devices and lived to the age of 86. Today’s pacemakers are about the size of a USB stick. They may be as small as one inch (2.5 cm) in diameter and weigh as little as 0.5 oz. (14 gm). Pacemaker surgery is usually performed in less than an hour under a local anesthetic. In addition to being smaller, modern pacemakers are far more complex. Programmable pacemakers were introduced in the 1970s that allowed doctors to choose different pulse speeds and durations. Modern pacemakers include microprocessors that collect data about how well the heart and pacemaker are working. These microprocessors can also monitor the patient’s physical activity and adjust the heartbeat as needed. Some pacemakers can even restart the heart if it stops. Dr. Hopps retired in 1979. Ironically enough, in 1984 he himself became a recipient of a pacemaker. By this point, inserting a pacemaker was considered to be routine surgery. His pacemaker lasted 13 years, at which time he received a new one. When his brother also needed a pacemaker, Hopps insisted his sibling pay him a royalty, but he refused to cough up. Hopps died in 1998 after seeing his invention save thousands of lives. Today the Canadian company Mitel is the world’s largest manufacturer for the inside parts of the pacemaker.

family that included early tobacco plantation owners in the Carolinas. As a result, he inherited a beautiful bedspread made from the ﬁbers of the tobacco plant. Would you have any idea of its value? -- Donald, Sun City West, Ariz. A: The short answer is no. This is a unique item, and if you truly want to determine its value, it is necessary to hire the services of a professional appraiser. Since you live near Phoenix, you also might contact The Phoenix Art Museum, which has an outstanding textile collection, and one of its experts. Q: I have a John Deere toy tractor. It is the Overtime model, 1:16 scale and green in color. I think I got it for a birthday present in about 1995. Any value? -- Ken, Madison, Wisc. A: I found your tractor referenced in “The Standard Catalogue of Farm Toys: Identification and Price Guide,” edited by Karen O’Brien and published by Krause Books. According to O’Brien, your toy was manufactured in 1994 and is valued in the $13 to $27 range, depending on its condition. Write to Larry Cox in care of KFWS, P.O.

GREAT IS GARLIC • Garlic contains 33 sulfur compounds, 17 amino acids, germanium, selenium, various minerals, and vitamins A, B1, and C. It has only two calories per clove, is fat free, and very low in sodium. • Garlic is not just a spice; it is also a medicine. Louis Pasteur proved in 1858 that garlic acted as an antibiotic, killing bacteria in lab culture dishes. During World War II when penicillin was still new and rare and sulfa drugs were often not available, garlic-soaked moss was used as an antiseptic to disinfect wounds and prevent gangrene. There are over 1,200 medical reports and an additional 700 studies of the chemistry of garlic, many of which have shown that garlic lowers cholesterol, decreases blood pressure, and inhibits cancer. It increases the capacity of the body to absorb vitamin B1 which is typically difficult to digest and slow to be assimilated. Garlic kills pathogenic bacteria in the intestinal tract, and also stimulates digestive juices. Consider these studies: • In a trial that pitted garlic against the cholesterol-lowering drug called Bezafibrate, garlic turned out to be just as effective as the medicine. A study reported in the British medical journal Lancet proved that after taking nine cloves of garlic, cholesterol dropped by seven percent. • Volunteer diners had their cholesterol checked before a meal. The average cholesterol level was 221.4 before dining. Then they were fed a meal containing a total of 1/4 pound of butter. Three hours later, the average cholesterol level was up to 237.4. But when the same meal was given again, this time along with the oil from 50 grams of garlic added to the recipe, the average cholesterol level dropped to 212.7, which was lower than before the test subjects had even begun eating.

GARLIC FACTS The Journal of Hypertension reported that garlic can lower blood pressure by as much as nine percent. One study in India took 432 people who had recently had heart attacks. Half were given garlic oil daily and half were given placebos. After three years, those taking the daily garlic oil suffered 35 percent fewer secondary heart attacks and 45 percent fewer deaths than those taking the placebos. A study of over 40,000 women in Iowa found that those who ate garlic at least once a week had a 35% lower chance of getting colon cancer than those who ate no garlic at all. A group of people were given garlic every day for three weeks. Then white blood cells were taken from the test subjects and placed in a lab dish containing cancerous cells. The garliceater’s white blood cells killed off more than twice as many tumor cells as did white blood cells from people who ate no garlic. Three different groups of toads were fed either freshly minced garlic, garlic oil, or corn oil (as a placebo) for four months before being exposed to aﬂatoxin B1, which is a food contaminant known to cause liver cancer. Only three percent of the toads fed minced garlic and nine percent fed garlic oil developed tumors. However, 19 percent of those fed corn oil developed cancer. Even though many studies have shown positive results from garlic, it is still illegal in the U.S. to make any medical claims concerning its health benefits. It is also difficult to get federal funding for additional studies, and pharmaceutical companies are reluctant to explore research into widely available natural substances that cannot be patented. Garlic may interact with a variety of medications including anti-hypertensives, hypoglycemic drugs, Warfarin, and antibiotics such as Cipro.

By Keith Roach, M. D, Will Menopause Shrink Fibroid? DEAR DR. ROACH: I am 50 years old. In the past three months there have been indicators that I am perimenopausal. I have a very large ﬁbroid. It is described as “six months” in size. I am not a candidate for embolization. I presently have no painful symptoms, and, with iron therapy, I am no longer anemic. Doctors have recommended a hysterectomy. However, I am reluctant, as I am so close to menopause and believe the tumor should shrink. What are the risks of not removing this large ﬁbroid? I am aware this surgery is common; however, I have profound concern about the risk of blood loss. -- L.L. ANSWER: A fibroid, also called a leiomyoma, is a (usually) benign tumor of the uterus. Fibroids may cause symptoms of bleeding, pain or pressure, or may have no symptoms at all. Gynecologists describe the size of the uterus with its fibroid as the equivalent of a pregnant uterus, so “six months” is

ANSWER: Pain in the shin bone (tibia) is common in runners, but the hard part is distinguishing between “shin splints,” properly called “medial tibial stress syndrome,” and a stress fracture of the tibia. A stress fracture usually has a discrete area of tenderness, but MTSS has more diffuse tenderness. An X-ray may be needed to be sure it isn’t a stress fracture, since the treatment is very different. A runner with a stress fracture needs to avoid impact activities like running, whereas MTSS usually gets better with just lower running mileage. In your case, the degree of pain is higher than I would expect after three weeks. I’d recommend an X-ray.

a large fibroid indeed. Gynecologists will follow the size of the fibroid by exam or ultrasound in order to show that it is stable. A growing fibroid is suspicious for a sarcoma, a malignant tumor that 1 percent to 2 percent of fibroids transform into. Because fibroids respond to hormones, they indeed tend to stabilize or shrink at menopause, when female hormone production decreases. If the fibroid is stable in size and isn’t causing symptoms, then there is no need to have surgery. You can see what happens to the fibroid with time. Questions about uterine fibroids are answered in the booklet of that name. To obtain a copy, write: Dr. Roach -- No. 1106W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu. To view and order health pamphlets, visit www. rbmamall.com, or write to P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

DEAR DR. ROACH: How long do shin splints last? Is there anything besides ice that will make them go away faster? My left shin started hurting a little more than three weeks ago, and I ran once or twice on it, then I stopped, but it still hurts. Is this normal? When do you think I can run on it? I don’t think it was increasing my distance that did it, but I did a longer run on a ﬂat path that I normally do with hills, so I thought maybe that was the problem -- but three weeks seems like too long. -- H.O.

Hang Curtains With Ease Q: The windows in my new apartment have curtain brackets installed on either side of all the windows, but they are either warped or broken. I’m not very confident that I can put up new brackets. Any tips? -- Sarah, via email A: Sure. Tip one: don’t be nervous about placing new brackets. Tip two: measure twice, cut (or drill) once. Putting up outside-mounted curtains can seem difficult, but it’s a great home-improvement project for beginners that can boost confidence while making your apartment considerably more awesome. You’ll need a few simple tools: a tape measure (one of the big locking ones is ideal) and a level (very inexpensive, but indispensible for getting the brackets set up in line). Buy a corded power drill, or borrow one from a friend, along with a set of drill bits. And keep one flat-head and one Phillips-head screwdriver on hand, too. You’ll also need a small ladder or stepladder to work safely. Measure the height that the curtains must reach. If you want floor-length curtains, measure from the floor to the top of the window molding (the wooden ÒframeÓ around the window opening). Add about 4-6 inches to that measurement to get the correct height of curtains you need. (Most ready-made curtains come in standard sizes, with 84 inches the norm for floor-length.) Measure the width of the window from one side of the molding to the other. Next, buy new brackets and curtain rods (and curtains, if you don’t have them already). The rods should be long enough to extend 3-6 inches past the window on each side. The brackets need to be tough enough to hold up heavy curtains (that’s part of the reason why your old brackets are partially torn out of the wall). You also may want to buy plastic wall anchors; bracket screws go through these to better hold the brackets in place. Really long curtain rods often come with an additional bracket placed at the center of the rod to keep it from warping downward. Take the hint and install this center bracket if it’s included. To set up the new brackets, measure and mark a point 6 inches above the window molding and another one 3-6 inches past the molding, on both sides of the window. Use the level to ensure that the points are in line with each other. Make sure the new brackets aren’t placed in the same spot as the old ones. Place the new bracket so the top part touches the outer mark you just made. Use a pencil and mark the drill holes for the bracket. Do the same on the other side. Re-measure and level the two points. Then, pre-drill guide holes for the bracket, using a drill bit one size smaller than the bracket’s screws. Hold the bracket in place over the pre-drilled holes, and place the screws, using the screwdriver to handtighten. If using a screw anchor, screw that into the wall first, then hold the bracket in place and thread the screw into the plastic anchor. (The anchor will pop open on the backside of the wallboard.) Double-check the placement of the second bracket one last time, then screw it into the wall. If a center bracket is needed, add that as well. Now, all that’s left is to put the curtains onto the rod, and lift the rod into place on the brackets. An easy task! HOME TIP: Floor-length curtains should just touch the floor or crease slightly; shorter curtains should reach at least 6 inches below the window frame.

If you’re a homeowner, the monthly mortgage payment is likely your biggest expense. Paying off the mortgage years early can open other avenues in your finances, especially for retirement or sending a child to college. It’s not easy to clear a large debt like a mortgage, but there are steps you can take to reach your goal. • Make an extra payment toward the principal every month. Go online to Bankrate.com and look for the mortgage loan payoff calculator. It will show you the result of putting even an extra small amount on your principal each month. Note the date at the bottom that shows when the mortgage will be paid off, depending how much extra you pay each month. Ideally that will motivate you to consider adding larger amounts. • Round up the amount you pay. If you’re truly short on cash, even rounding to the next $10 increment will help. See the round-up repayment calculator at HSH.com. • Refinance to a lower interest rate -- and send an extra amount each month toward the principal. • Refinance with a shorter term -- for instance, cutting your 30-year mortgage down to a 15year mortgage. You will, of course, have larger payments but with a lower interest rate. The caveat is that you’ll be stuck with those larger payments should something happen. Instead, consider refinancing with another 30-year mortgage, but send in a larger fixed amount every month. You’ll need to be disciplined, but should you need extra cash in an emergency or in the event of income loss, you’ll have that breathing room and the smaller payment. •If you get paid every two weeks, arrange with your lender to make biweekly payments. That ends up being 13 payments in a year. Ask about fees associated with biweekly payments. • If you’re about to buy a house, and especially if you have excellent credit, you might be surprised at how much a lender is willing to give you. Draw the line and remember that you’re the one who will be responsible for paying it back. Reduce the amount you’re willing to borrow. Beware: Read the fine print of your mortgage documents to be sure you won’t be hit with a prepayment penalty for paying off your loan early. If you’re about to take out a loan for a house, insist that there not be a prepayment penalty clause. If there is, go elsewhere for your loan.

Computer Use Keeps Brain in High Gear We can improve our memory and store brain power for the future by surfing the Internet and checking email. So says a study with the unwieldy title of “English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA): Can Internet/Email Use Reduce Cognitive Decline?” Per the study, besides “storing” cognitive ability (brain-based skills) for the future, digital literacy also “leads to the employment of more efficient cognitive networks to delay cognitive decline” -- in other words, we find new ways of getting the results we want. It makes sense. Digital literacy involves more than just pressing buttons on the keyboard. Hunting for what we want on the Internet involves thinking, planning and carrying out what we want to do, evaluating what we find and maybe sharing it in email with others. And it’s not just computers; smart phones, tablets and laptops play a part in digital literacy -- as long as we understand how to use them. The study used a large group -- 6,400 adults in Britain -- ages 50 to 89, with annual retests for eight years. As tests of memory, they were given 10-word lists for later recall. The conclusion was that good health, financial status and education -- and digital literacy -- resulted in better memory. Those who didn’t use the Internet showed declines. Current users increased their recall capability. The good news is that over half of seniors between 65 and 74 have Internet access, in both the U.K. and the U.S. Key is that little caveat about financial status. Not everyone can afford a computer and Internet access. However, there are ways to get around this. Senior centers often give classes on Internet browsing, use of cellphones, useful computer programs like email and bookkeeping, and the like. And if they don’t have computers that seniors can use, the library usually does.

$300 Million Boost for Homeless Vets On the heels of the Notice of Funds Availability issued a month ago to provide housing and services to veterans with special needs, the Department of Veterans Affairs has announced $300 million in grants for homeless veterans and their families. The money will be given to more than 300 community organizations and agencies in all 50 states (plus Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and Washington, D.C.) to help 115,000 homeless veterans. One of the services provided is called the VA Supportive Housing Program. In association with the Department of Housing and Urban Development, HUD-VASH has more than 58,000 housing choice vouchers that will allow veterans (and their families) to live in rental housing while getting case-management services from the VA. Support services include health care, daily living, personal finance, transportation, fiduciary and payee, legal, child care and housing counseling. The community organizations will be able to help with security deposits, utilities, moving costs and rent payments. They’ll help get VA benefits and public benefits as well. To qualify, a veteran needs to make less than 50 percent of the median income in the area. If you or someone you know is in need of homeless programs, go online to www.va.gov/homeless. For Support Services for Veteran Families or homeless veterans, see www.va.gov/homeless/ssvf.asp or call 1-877-424-3838. They’re open 24/7. Look online for 2014 Awards to see the complete list by city and state of community organizations awarded funds. Your best bet: If you know you’re in danger of losing your accommodations, your electricity or your heat, call for help before that happens. Before you know it, cold weather will be here. Get your living situation stabilized. Freddy Groves regrets that he cannot personally answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into his column whenever possible.
