Then a person educates torender special care to patients,there are super qualities with-in them, as well as a strong

desire to be of help to those in need. Nurses week began May 6 and ended

May 12, on the birthday of FlorenceNightingale. It’s never too late to men-tion it, for it is never too late to let ournurses know how much we admire andappreciate them.

A few years back, when researchingfor a book, it appeared that before Flo-rence Nightingale came on the scene,medical caregivers were men, espe-cially during wartime. Then Florence,who was named for the Italian city inwhich she was born, became the LadyWith The Lamp, the early leader of wo-men in nursing as a profession. Herfamily was very well-to-do and had adifferent set of plans for her but through-out her life she was actively helpingpeople in need.

Supported by the American NursesAssociation, the special time in Mayhas been honoring the nursing pro-fession since 1896. Each area of ANAconducts celebrations in recognitionof the contributions nurses make totheir communities.

Some interesting nurse quotes byunknown writers:

“Nurses may not be angels, but theyare the next best thing.”

“Nurses don’t wait until October tocelebrate “make a difference day.” Theymake a difference every day”

“Save one life you are a nurse, savea thousand lives and you are a hero”

“I’m not telling you it’s going to beeasy. I’m telling you it’s going to beworth it.”

“They may forget your name, butthey will never forget how you madethem feel.”

“Never give-up on anybody. Mira-cles happen every day.”

“There is always that one specialpatient that you will remember forever.”

“Some people think that nurses canput scrambled eggs back into the shell.”

There are never enough words toexpress how much they are appreciatedfor all that they do for their patients—as well as the comfort they give totheir families.

I learned years ago, from a daugh-ter who ultimately became a nurse, howspecial nurses are.

Her teenage sister was burned whena car parked on top of her at the beach.She was in intensive care for weeks.During that time, it was an additionallearning experience for each nurse whocared for her. Everyone that enteredthe room had to be completely coveredso as not to carry germs into her room(very time consuming) and, in addition,had to make sure no visitors entered theroom without the same precautions.

When she came home, she still re-quired special care. Her younger sister,who in time became a nurse, stayed byher bedside and did everything neces-sary until she was well.

Being a nurse is more than a job, it’sa way of life.

And, oh, what a life!

More and more seniors areusing computers to surf theInternet and stay in touchwith friends and family.

While that’s a good thing, it also makesthem potentially vulnerable to tech supportscams. That’s because scammers have beenpeddling bogus security software for years.

These scammers set up fake websites,offer free “security” scans and send alarm-ing messages to try to convince you thatyour computer is infected. Then, they tryto sell you software to fix the problem. Atbest, the software is worthless oravailable elsewhere for free. At worst,it could be software designed to givecriminals access to your computerand your personal information. Often,the scam begins with a phone call toyour home. Scammers can get yourname and other basic information frompublic directories. They might evenguess what computer software you’reusing. Once they have you on the phone,they will try to gain your trust by pretend-ing to be associated with well-knowncompanies or confusing you with a bar-rage of technical terms. They may ask youto go to your computer and perform a seriesof complex tasks. Sometimes, they targetlegitimate computer files and claim thatthey’re viruses. Their tactics are designedto scare you into believing that you have aproblem and of course they can help fix it—for a price.

Once tech scammers feel they have gainedyour trust, they may:

•Ask you to give them remote access toyour computer and then make changes toyour settings that could leave your com-puter vulnerable.

• Try to enroll you in a worth-less computer maintenance orwarranty program.

• Ask for credit card informa-tion so they can bill you for phonyservices or services you could getelsewhere for free.

• Trick you into installing mal-ware that could steal sensitive data.

• Direct you to websites andask you to enter your credit card numberand other personal information.

Regardless of the tactics they use, theyhave one purpose: to take your money. Ifyou get a call from someone who claims tobe a tech support person, hang up and callthe company yourself on a phone numberyou know to be genuine. Remember that acaller who creates a sense of urgency or useshigh-pressure tactics is probably a scamartist. Your best advice: simply end the con-versation by hanging up the phone.

Tech Support Scams

From TheSheriff

…Volusia County Sheriff Ben Johnson


by Peggy Goldtrap

Is there a Lost & Found departmentfor enthusiasm? If so, could youplease give me directions? Wheneversummer arrives, my enthusiasm

leaves. Once we turn on air conditioningmy desire to go anywhere, especially intonature’s sauna, melts. Heat turns me intoa vegetable soup; an ambitionless stew.

GAG recently went out of town and leftcat and me alone. This meant we had nochallenges. GAG is the communicator inthe family so when he’s home, our life isfairly eventful. When he’s away, the condois quiet and peaceful. I give myself per-mission to practice peculiar habits. Forexample, I can lay in the floor whenever Ichoose without being questioned: ‘Why?’.

I’ve slept on the floor many times. It’sgood for the back and after a few hours ofadjustment, the comfort level rises. Grow-ing up in the south before air condition-ing, I learned that the hardwood floor wascooler, especially in the evenings when heatgrips the house like a constrictor. The stereo-typical dewy Southern belle contorting inher corset was really chafing from heat rash.

When I was 15, I slept the entire sum-mer. It was the hottest summer on Ten-nessee record. I’d get up in the morning, eatbreakfast, and go back to sleep. The air wasso stifling I couldn’t buy a breath. I had anarmy cot in front of the only door that whis-pered air. I’d crawl into the cot as soon as Ifinished breakfast. Needless to say I don’t re-member anything from the summer of 52.

Young people today can’t appreciate thevirtues of air conditioning. They’ve nevertraveled across Texas in a ’48 Chevy withjammed windows, or crossed Kansas whenthe temperature approached 110. I remem-ber a trip GAG and I took to California ina window challenged station wagon. We’dget up as early as cranky kids allowed, andtry to beat the heat. It was so hot we putwooden blocks on the accelerator to blockthe heat from burning our feet. We keptbandanas soaked with water and tied themaround our face (yes, we left the eyes uncov-ered) so we could breathe cool air. The Ban-dana Bandits cross the Jayhawk Desert.We masked the back windows of the wagonwith newspapers so the kids survived. Wehad to outrun the heat that day. Had westopped the car would have incinerated.

Today’s kids can’t appreciate growingup in two or three story homes with no airconditioning. I remember walking up thesteps, as late as possible, and falling intomy bedroom oven. It would be 3 A.M. beforeI could breathe deep enough to fall asleep.The air was jungle thick with heat and thepungent smell of tennis shoes and sweatyshirts. Fans were useless, except psycho-logically. All they did was move hot air.

I remember the sound of oscillating fans;near, far, up, down. I counted the timebetween cycles. Feel a bit of breeze. Wait,

it’s gone. Count down to the next. Big boxfans did the best job of moving air, but inone direction only. The fan’s hum was hyp-notic lulling me into a sleep stupor until afull bladder reminded me of what I forgotto do.

All was not horrible in the heat smackeddays of summer. There were picnics beneathshade trees. Swimming in creeks, ponds,mud holes, troughs. Neighbors would siton their porches until late at night; swing-ing and chatting and waiting for the houseto cool. Kids would play hide and seekuntil someone finally gave up before theyfell asleep and out of their secret tree. Dogswould serenade each other signaling terri-tory or romance.

I remember when some boxers werefighting for the world championship. Aneighbor on the corner put radios in sev-eral windows; turned them up full blast.Other neighbors brought lawn chairs, food,and drinks to the yard. A block party wason for two guys knocking their blocks off.I don’t remember the names of the box-ers, but I remember how much fun we hadwith kids, and parents, and pets challeng-ing the dreadful summer heat that wouldnot let go.

Tennessee is a beautiful state, but thesummer is a killer. The heat rises and danceson the street. The ground cracks. Dogs don’tmove from under the porch for days. It’sso still you can hear a twig snap, a drag-onfly winging, a June bug whirring. Creeksdry up and rocks crack. People move likesnails. Men pocket extra handkerchiefs forwiping sweat from their two-toned foreheads.

Now, I live in an air-conditioned condoI don’t want to leave. I go to a gym whereI experience the very thing I don’t wantto feel: sweaty. At night I open the slider tolet in the fresh, cooling night air whichusually doesn’t tiptoe in until two. WhenI can’t sleep I listen to the surf smack-ing the shore. I’m enchanted by noctur-nal creatures performing a mysteriousand magical symphony.

I drive to the store in an air-conditionedcar and complain about the hot walk fromcar to air-conditioned grocery. I rush fromice-house to cold storage across a parkinglot designed by Satan. My heat exposureis steps from condo to car. Whew. Bringback the old days? Don’t you dare.

Does Amazon deliver cool air? Howabout buying a wafting breeze on PayPal?No? My slug self says: ‘Don’t worry, behappy. Stay home, stay cool. Follow thecat’s example, sleep curled up, in the shad-ows. It will all be over in the Fall.’

Spring Has Sprung, Fall Has Fell,Summer’s Here And It’s Hot As Usual!

Q: I have a 50-piece set of ruby glass.Several years ago, I was offered $75 perglass, but I want to sell the entire set. Anysuggestions?

—Marilyn, Sonoma, CA:A: Ruby glass is a flashed glass, deeply

red in color, and was manufactured bynumerous companies beginning duringthe 1890s and continuing through the 1940s.Although it is sometimes confused with redcarnival glass, it is made differently andnot the same. Values are tricky. It might bea good idea to consult the numerous priceguides available and monitor ruby glassprices on eBay.

Another suggestion is to contact agood appraiser. Although you will pay anominal fee, you will get an expert's opin-ion of what your collection is worth.

***Q: We have a collection of 78-rpm and

LP recordings, mostly classical. Could youprovide me with the names of buyers?

—Janice, via e-mailA: I get questions about older recordings

at least a dozen times a month, and myanswer is always the same: Unless youhave real rarities, there is little market forolder recordings. I contacted used recorddealers in Los Angeles, St. Louis, Dallas,and New York, and I was told that it wasdifficult, if not impossible, to sell classical

recordings in the secondary marketplace.You might consider donating your collec-tion to a charity.

***Q: I have a series of 12 postcards that

were printed to promote the 1939 NewYork World's Fair. I have been offered$100, but I do not feel that is enough.

—Josie, Ormond Beach, FloridaA: According to three collectors I con-

sulted, postcards from the 1939 World'sFair are fairly common. Your postcardsare probably worth between $2.50 and $5each. If you have been offered $100 forthe set, my advice is to take the moneyand run.

***Q: I have six vintage irons, all pre-

1900. Whom can I contact about them?—Betty, Shreveport, Louisiana

A: David Irons (yes, that's his realname) is an expert and can help you deter-mine the value of your irons. His contactinformation is [email protected];223 Covered Bridge Road, Northhampton,PA 18067; 610-262-9335.

Having a grandparent help takecare of a newborn or infantnot only offers a much-neededrest for parents, but also pro-

vides special together time. Before you takeon this important task, it’s a good idea tobrush up on the latest safe infant sleep rec-ommendations. A new video from the Safeto Sleep® campaign—specifically for grand-parents—points out the practices that mightbe different from when grandparents werenew parents.

Remember to always place the baby onhis back to sleep, for naps and at night. Backsleeping is the best way to reduce the riskof Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS),the unexpected death of an infant youngerthan 1 year of age from no apparent cause.You may have heard SIDS described as cribdeath or cot death. Babies who usually sleepon their backs, but who are then placed tosleep on their stomachs are at very highrisk for SIDS.What Grandparents Can Do To Reduce

The Risk Of Sids And Other Sleep-Related Causes Of Infant Death• Always place the baby on his or her

back to sleep, for naps and at night.• Use a firm sleep surface, such as a mat-

tress in a safety-approved crib*, coveredby a fitted sheet.

• Keep loose bedding, blankets, quilts,crib bumpers, soft objects, and toys outof the baby’s sleep area.

• Do not smoke or allow anyone to smokearound the baby.

Answers To Common Safe Infant Sleep Questions

Experts at the National Institutes ofHealth have answers to your questionsabout keeping the baby safe during sleep.

Q. Are babies more likely to choke ifthey spit up while sleeping on their backs?

A. No. Healthy babies naturally swal-low or cough up fluids. In fact, babies mayactually clear fluids better when placed ontheir backs to sleep.

Q. I put my kids to sleep on their stomachswhen they were babies. Was that wrong?

A. No—It wasn’t wrong, but we didn’tknow as much about SIDS or ways to reduce

the risk until the early 1990s. Many of uswere placed on our stomachs to sleep andsurvived, but some babies didn’t. Now thatresearch has shown that back sleeping isthe most effective way to reduce the riskof SIDS, it’s important that all babies areplaced on their backs to sleep, for naps,and at night. Every sleep time counts.

Q. Why can’t I use crib bumpers or ablanket in the crib?

A. Crib bumpers and blankets are asso-ciated with higher risk for SIDS, suffoca-tion, and other injuries. The best way toreduce these risks is to keep soft objects,toys, crib bumpers, and loose bedding outof the baby’s sleep area. This includes pil-lows, blankets, quilts, and sheepskins.

Special to Seniors Today–Part 8 Seniors Today is an acquaintance of

DelCampo and continues to follow hisappearance on the Survivor show.

Joseph Del Campo, a formerFBI agent stepped into thetelevision show Survivor atthe golden age of 72 years,

making him one of the oldest competi-tors in the history of the game. He wasevacuated for medical reasons in theepisode on May11 much to the dismayof his huge fan club! Seniors Todayhad the privilege of gathering withDel Campo and his friends at a Sur-vivor party to watch the final showwith him in it!

After winning a challenge on thisepisode he was treated to a day at aspa and an unbelieveable feast! Hegorged on beef skewers, devouringrow upon row of satay sticks, feastingon his first substantial meal in weeks.Within twenty-four hours, Joe was inso much internal distress due to the“three feet” of steak kabobs his bodyrefused to pass, that he was pulledfrom the game to avoid serious physi-cal damage.

Joe withstood 34 days of the harsh-est Survivor season ever, as the secondoldest contestant to ever play the game,only behind the legendary Rudy Boesch—the who finally convinced Joe to applyfor the show.

So the burning question everyonewhats to know now... how is Joe feel-ing these days? Del Campo states, “Don’tforget now, it’s been a year since wefilmed the show. We all wanted it to airas soon we got back home, of course,but then they wound up doing the Sec-ond Chance folks— the fans-favorites—and they sent them out to Cambo-dia and aired them first. We had to waita long time, from February of last yearuntil our show came on. It took aboutfour days to get my system straightenedout but I am feeling fine now.”

Bonnie andDavid

Schillinger ofSeniors Today

enjoyed watch-ing Survivor

with Joeseph DelCampo in hisfinal episode.

When asked how difficult was it tobe taken off for medical reasons whenso close to the end he said, “Well, youknow, I’m a person where you don’tlook back. It happened. After a minuteor two, you go, okay, so what’s thenext challenge? What’s the next thingI’m going to do? That’s the way I fol-low my life. I’ve always been adven-turous. I’m thrilled I got selected. I’mthrilled about that. I’m thrilled that Imade it and I’m thrilled that I madethe distance that I did on the show. Iwanted to see if I could do the chal-lenge. I thought I was in great shape.I thought intellectually and sociallythat I would be able to do good, and Ithink I did, in my opinion. I still seekadventure in life. I want to do thatuntil the day I go kicking and scream-ing and the good Lord says, ‘Joe, yourtime’s up, buddy.’ Look forward.”

So what is next on Del Campo’sagenda: “I have a cabin up in NorthCarolina I’m going to go up to. I haven’tbeen there since the whole Survivorepic started. So I’m looking for a littledowntime. It’s been exciting, but Iwant to go to the mountains and kickback for a little while.”

Del Campo has no regrets: “This allworked out well. It all worked out theway it’s supposed to be. I’m here now.I call it “The Million Dollar Meal.” Ido! If I had made it to finals, I don’t knowif I would have won, but I certainly tookmyself out of contention.”

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Whethera waiting period is taking longer thanexpected, or just seems that way, theanxious Lamb would do well to createa center of calm within.TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Prac-tical matters dominate the week, butcultural activities also are favored, espe-cially those that can be shared withsomeone special in the Bovine's life. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)You needto know more about a possible careermove in order to see if it offers a realopportunity or just a change. You will getlots of advice, but you must deside.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Thearrival of hoped-for good news abouta loved one dominates most of theweek and provides a great excuse forthe party-loving Moon Child.LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Leos andLeonas rushing to finalize their plansmight want to think about slowing downthe pace, or risk overlooking an importantconsideration that could be a sore point.VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Theweek's challenges call for logical ap-proaches. Sentiment also has its place.Sharing memories with a special some-one, for example, strengthens the bond.

• Spring sports are in full swing forus, and we definitely still use theslow cooker. I often double recipesto freeze when I cook. When therecipe allows, I thaw the dinnersfor the week in the fridge. Afterschool but before sports, I put thethawed meal in the slow cooker toheat up while we're out. It worksgreat for spaghetti sauce with meat-balls, cooked chicken, meatloaf, orcube steak and stews, etc. Cominghome to a warm, almost-ready mealis a blessing after being out on thefield. We're usually starved.

Are you dealing with an agingloved one? Are you lookingfor help? Where do you startto search for resources?

Online—it’s free and anonymous, right?Don’t click yet! Your online search can tar-get you!

Let’s say that in your online search youfill in a little information on a website.Soon you may get a call from an empa-thetic “eldercare specialist.” They informyou that they will help you. BE AWARE,you are now their customer exclusively.

Can you trust them? Do you realize thatthis “eldercare specialist” is paid on com-mission and only gets paid when youchoose a company or service they recom-mend? Do you realize that they will onlyrecommend services or facilities that havesigned a contract to pay the company forreferrals? Do you realize that they maylive 1,000 miles away and may work off a“list” provided by the company? Do yourealize that they may spew your informa-tion out to all these contracted serviceproviders and facilities in your area? Allof these service providers and facilitiesmay then call you directly.

In a New York Times article, A HelpingHand, Paid on Commission, by PaulaSpan (9-3-11) she writes:

“Many free referral services operatethis way, including the nation’s largest,which every month fields requests from50,000 families and refers them to 18,000facilities and agencies—all of which havesigned contracts agreeing to pay when alead becomes a customer. . . a network of430 advisers across the country works thephones to try to make that happen.”

In an interview, the CEO of this largefirm, went on to state in part that—in manycases, advisers will be referring callers toassisted living or independent living facil-ities, nursing homes, specialized dementiaresidences, continuing care communities,or home care agencies that they haven’tvisited or know.

Wouldn’t you rather trust your lovedone’s care to locals who have personalexperience with local assisted living orindependent living facilities, nursing homes,specialized dementia residences, con-tinuing care communities, or home careagencies?

If we at Assited Living Made Simple don’tknow and trust them, we won’t recommendthem. We have personally visited the facil-ities we recommend. Let us help you.

Dear Paw's Corner: My motherhas a 3-year-old mixed Shitzu/poodle.He is very spoiled and loves to go withher everywhere. The problem is thatwhen she leaves him (it doesn't matterwhat house he's left at), he leaves alarge, smelly present. I can see this isin defiance, but what can we do? Pleasereply; I'm desperate.

—C.L, via email

Dear C.L.: Your first move shouldbe to erase the word defiance from yourvocabulary. Yes, your mother's dog (let'scall him Fluffy) is getting upset whenhe's left behind, but he's not being angryor defiant or petulant. The term here isseparation anxiety, and many pets suf-fer from it.

Fluffy is very attached to your mother.Your mom keeps the dog close by atall times, bringing him along on mostof her errands, as well as to your house,where she occasionally leaves him whileshe runs out.

The length of time she is gone does-n't matter. When your mother leavesFluffy behind, he becomes very anx-

ious. Like many anxious pets, he en-gages in destructive behavior—in thiscase, soiling. Some pets chew up theirowners' shoes or destroy the living room.

Yelling at Fluffy, rubbing his nosein his own mess or confining him willnot stop the behavior. His anxiety hasto be addressed.

Fluffy needs independence training,possibly combined with an anti-anxi-ety drug. The veterinarian is the firststep in the process. An obedience trainercan put together a regimen that grad-ually increases Fluffy's ability to beleft alone.

If your mother follows the vet's (ortrainer's) program faithfully, Fluffy willimprove immensely. Your carpet willlook much, much better.

The Halifax Humane Societyannounces the completed reno-vation of the shelter’s dog adop-tion kennel area. This renovation

was made possible by a $360,000 grantfrom The ASPCA® (American Society forthe Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®).The renovation includes the latest technolo-gies in animal husbandry; improving safety,health, and adoption potential for dogs.“Throughout time we have learned thatsimply adding kennels does not address theunderlying issues of animal welfare. Ournew kennels will facilitate a healthier andmore inviting environment, leading to bet-ter adopter experiences. These will improveour life saving programs holistically byincreasing turnover and reducing stres-sors.”—Miguel Abi-hassan, CEO.

The large dog adoption area, a sectionof the shelter that was in the greatest needfor renovation, was designed in the 1970s.The newly renovated kennels will help pre-vent transmission of disease with state ofthe art, seamless flooring systems and glasskennel doors. The aesthetics have also beenimproved with sound suppression ceilingsand air flow management, both of whichallow for less stress on animals and theadopters coming to see them.

HHS is proud to re-open this large dogkennel adoption area. The opening followson the foothills of one of the best years inHHS history for pet adoptions and a reduc-tion of euthanasia. Further improvementsfor the 78-year old organization are alreadyunderway, including a destination rest areaand dog park opening very soon!

One of the perks of retire-ment for many seniors isnot having to pay taxesany longer—except when

we do. Sometimes when we discoverthat we have to pay taxes after all, it'sa tough situation.

According to a Social Security assis-tant deputy commissioner in a recentnewsletter, one-third of seniors receiv-ing benefits have to pay taxes becauseof disability and survivor benefits, aswell as income that is in addition toSocial Security.

You'll need your benefit statement(Form SSA-1099), which you likelyreceived in January, to calculate whetheryou need to pay taxes. This documentis similar to a regular Form 1099 in thatit's used to send information about yourincome to the Internal Revenue Ser-vice. The amount listed is what youreceived the previous year.

Specifically, if your benefits and anyadditional income exceed $25,000 (or$32,000 for a married couple filing joint-ly), you'll have to pay tax. Dependingon your income, you might be taxed on

up to 50 percent of your benefits. You'llnever pay taxes on more than 85 per-cent of your Social Security benefits.

If you didn't get your benefits state-ment in the mail or have misplaced it,there are two ways to find out theamount of your benefits. You can goto your My Social Security account (ifyou don't have one, you can open oneonline) and select "Replacement Doc-uments" to get a new form, or you cancall Social Security at 1-800-772-1213and ask that one be sent to you.

Even if you don't have to pay federaltaxes on your Social Security benefits,beware of state taxes. There are morethan a dozen states that may taxthat income.

• It was award-winning Canadian nov-elist, poet, essayist, and literary criticMargaret Atwood who made the fol-lowing sage observation: "Your ro-mantic tragedy when you were 19becomes a funny anecdote by thetime you're 45. Then, 30 years later,you can't remember their name."

• In 1819, some Native peoples in theUnited States got quite a surprise.Fearing trouble from tribes, a groupof western river explorers traveled ina steamboat that had been modifiedto resemble a fire-breathing serpent.

• After the disaster of the Exxon Valdez,the oil tanker's former captain, JosephHazelwood—who evidently had beenso drunk that he was passed out inhis bunk when the devastating col-lision occurred—was hired by theNew York Maritime College. His job?Teaching students how to stand watch.

• At one time in New York City it wasagainst the law to play pinball.

• Tombstones weren't always used torecord information about the de-ceased's life; they were originallyjust large, unmarked slabs of stoneplaced atop a fresh grave—a bar-rier to ensure that no undead crea-ture or ghastly spirit could escapeto trouble the living.

• The woman who was declared thefemale winner of the 1980 BostonMarathon had the title stripped fromher after officials noticed her absencefrom any of the photographs or videofootage from the middle of the event.It seems she veered off course, killeda little time around town, then rodethe subway a spot less than a milefrom the finish line, rejoining the raceat the very end.
