Remember the song, It’s AGood Day? Well, whenwe reach a certain time inour lives, the days can be
better than ever before if we keep awareand go with gusto!
A friend who goes back to Ohio forthe summer stays in touch with us andsome of the things she noted in her laste-mail were that heading toward the ageof 70, you know certain things:
1. People no longer view you as ahypochondriac. They believe you whenyou say something hurts.
2. You can eat supper at 4 P.M.This does not mean you have to goto bed early.
3. You sing along with the elevatormusic. Always have—cause singing isthe best of living!
4. Things youbuy will may neverwear out. Actually,we have closets fullof sizes that havenever worn out.
5. There is no-thing left to learnthe hard way. Wetook the hard wayand now we’re tak-ing it easy.
6. No one ex-pects you to run—anywhere. Stay-ing behind be-comes a practicalsolution.
7. Anytime someone calls, theyask, “Did I wake you?” All exceptthe tele-marketers who seem to get akick out of waking you.
8. Do slow dance. The modern daydances could kill ya!
9. You invest in living. Not just mon-etary investments but your heart and soul.
10. They say: A glass of wine a daykeeps the doctor away. The French diet
is an example of how wine can improveheart health. The French have a fairlyhigh-fat diet but their heart disease riskis relatively low. They attribute this tored wine. Hmmm.
It’s a good day for singing a song and it’s a good day for moving along.It’s a good day, how can anything go wrong?It’s a good day from morning ‘til night.I said to the sun “Good morning sun—riseand shine today.You know you got to get going if you’regonna make a showing and you knowyou’ve got the right of way.
It’s a good day for paying your bills and it’s a good day for curing your ills.Take a deep breath and throw awayyour pills, cause it’s a good day from morning‘til night!
It's A Good Day a popular song writ-ten by Peggy Lee and Dave Barbourpublished in 1947.

Here’s a news flash! Welive in Florida… the statemost occupied by newly-weds and nearly deads.
We’re mostly old. We don’t move fast,we don’t hear well, we don’t read smalltype and we don’t take kindly to rudepeople. We are mostly well educatedand self-sufficient, (no thanks to thegovernment). Don’t ignore us or talk tous like children. Don’t assume we don’tget it. We do… and we are still capa-ble of boxing ears when you are sassy!
Listen up, pay attention, and remem-ber, it is our money we are spending.
Number one… why on earth wouldanyone print something important in anear impossible font size? My familybuys a regular product from a well-known company. Folks our age are amajor client of this company. This weekwe spent $50+ restocking supplies. Onceat home we began reading informationin the boxes and product packaging. Inwas nearly impossible. The font wasabout a number 4 and the print waslight orange on white. Who designedthat… a third grader? No… probablysome 24 year old col-lege de- greed geniuswho ma- jored inmarketing or graphicdesign. Was the poorpackage design theirfault? Onlypartly. Who wrote the text or designedthe courses where this young adultlearned … or should I say mis-learned!Point 4 font in light orange on whitebackground? Give me a break! Trypoint 12, black on white and maybewe’ll read it. Otherwise you might aswell leave the space blank! Whilewe are on the subject… lose the fancytype fonts. Stay with Arial, Calibri, orother simple square fonts. Lose the oldEnglish scripts, or anything else thatlooks as if it was designed by a com-petitive drinker who just came in fromhis flight acrobatics class. Large, sim-ple, and high contrast… IF you want itread.
Next…newspapers. Have you seenone of the daily’s lately? When didthey run out of ink? Light gray ondirty white… really. Do subscribers payfor invisible copy or advertisers for un-readable type? I don’t think so. Thencomplain about it and they respond asif they never heard of the publica-tion. I am happy to ‘see’ that SeniorsToday always keeps their print largeenough to read! Get a clue editors. Wepay your salary.
Now the broadcasters. Who on earthdo you think understands or cares aboutthat fast talker who reads the warn-ings at the end of all those medicalads. If I’m 89 and still eating cheeseand sausage, do you really think I’mall ‘hepped’ up on health warnings andside effects. I know, its governmentmandated material but so are mattresslabels and who doesn’t cut those off?You won’t find any in my house—soarrest me—you over-zealous house-hold policemen. Oh… and I flush mycommode twice just because I like thesound of rushing water… and I stillburn regular light bulbs… the kind thatprovide light for reading tiny print!Remember those! You can still get themon the black market.
I’m never gonna buy a safe to protectmy money. I'll just put it in a bran flakesbox and seal it with the commercialglue that Kellogg’s, General Mills, Post,
and Quaker use. No mortalcan open those boxes so mymoney is safe. I keep mysmall change in a childproofmedicine bottle for the samereason. You know… thepint size bottle that came
with 10 pills and a half pound of cot-ton. I love the directions: press downand twist the cap to open. No problem,unless your best friend is Arthur Itis.
What about cosmetic packaging?Sunscreen and after-shave are mybeauty regime, but Peg's still trying tosip from the fountain of youth. Every-one knows how dangerous lip gloss is.Those entombed in hard plastic pack-ages defy the Swiss Army. They madeknives for every obstacle except $1eye shadow from the $1 store. Peg’slast package couldn't be opened withfingernails, so I tried a file for lever-age but wound up slamming it on thefloor... a smashing success… and I bentthe file!
Enough! My ranting won’t changeanything anyway. If it did, we’d have awhole new congress and administrationin Washington. Yea right!
Time to take a nap George!

Q: I have a Liberty Bell cookie jarthat is marked with the dates 1776-1976, so I assume it was made to com-memorate our country's bicentennial.Is this something worth keeping or pass-ing along to my great-grandchildren?
—Ruth, Barre, VTA: I think you are probably correct
that your cookie jar was manufacturedto observe the 200th anniversary of theUnited States. Although there are afew collectors of bicentennial items, itwill take a little more time beforemany of the items are all that much indemand. I have spotted plates, cups,posters, and, yes, cookie jars at antiquesmalls and in shops, but prices do notseem to be increasing all that much.My advice is to keep your cookie jar,since it will probably be more valu-able in the future. How much, I can'tbegin to guess.
***Q: I have a three-speed Capitol
phonograph that my mother purchasedfor me 60 years ago when I was ateenager. Capitol only made a few,
and mine still is in working order andin excellent condition. How much doyou think is it worth?
—Aileen, Howell, MIA: I spoke to several collectors, and
they seem to agree that your phono-graph would sell in the $75-$150 range.
***Q: I have an original edition of the
Stars & Stripes newspaper announc-ing the end of World War II. I wouldlike to know what it is worth.

My daughter was movingfrom our home in Floridato her apartment in Wash-ington, D.C., to begin her
new job. “I'm really going to miss yourcooking, she said with misty eyes. Shehugged me goodbye while her dad fin-ished loading the car with packed boxes.
Betsy's comment about home-cookedmeals gave me an idea. I decided to makespecial gifts for my three grown children,who were in various stages of leaving homefor college and careers.
After Betsy waved goodbye, I drove tothe store and bought three yellow recipeboxes and decorated index cards. For sev-eral days I copied family recipes from myfood-splattered cards.
I included precious recipes I had gath-ered from country neighbors when our fam-ily spent summers on our farm in Missouri,knowing they would rekindle fond mem-ories of our times spent there.
When the handwritten cards stood alpha-betized in their boxes, I closed the lids andset them aside until I would be with mychildren again. When the time came, I pre-sented each one with the recipes and enjoyedtheir wide grins and shrieks of delight asthey thumbed through the cards.
“I remember making this bread in mysecond grade class,” remarked Steven.
“Oh, this is the best macaroni and cheeseever!” recalled Lori.
“Look! Here's one for the homemade icecream we churned on the farm each sum-mer!” squealed Betsy.
Over the years the boxes of recipes con-tinued to be popular resources in theirkitchens, reminders of the food and lovethey were served during their childhoods.Now, with children of their own, theyexplained the stories behind the recipes tomy nine grandchildren, and inspired themto become young cooks.
One day, a video arrived on my com-puter. I watched my animated, 11-year-old granddaughter, Amy, as she pretendedto be Julia Child and demonstrated how tomake an omelet. When she finished, sheheld it up to the camera and imitated thefamous, “Bon appetite!”
I think it's time to give Amy her ownsmall box filled with handwritten familyrecipes.

We're morning people!At least we are whenit comes to complet-ing challenging tasks.
So says a Canadian study done byBaycrest Center for Geriatric Care anda research group affiliated with the Uni-versity of Toronto.
This must have been a fun bit ofresearch, pairing participants at oppo-site ends of the age spectrum: Youngadults aged 19-30 were tested along witholder adults aged 60-82 to see howmemory works... and when.
Memory tests done two times duringthe day involved seeing and remember-ing pictures and word combinations,along with distractions on the computerscreen. MRI tests were used at thesame time to see what parts of the brainwere active and to see if they correlatewith the other results.
Here's what researchers found out: During the afternoon, seniors were 10
percent more likely to be distracted bythe extra screen information and weren'tcompletely engaged on the cognitivetasks. Researchers called it idling, when
the senior brains went into resting modeand weren't focused.
Fast-forward the clock to morning,and seniors did much better at ignor-ing the distractions, on par with theyounger participants, and focusing oncognitive tasks. The MRIs showed thisto be so, with other areas of the brainactivated.
Here are just a few things that mightbe easier to accomplish in the morning:
• Balance checkbook• Brain puzzles• Driving test• Creating a shopping list
for a new recipe• Learning a musical instrument• Reading• Planning an event or tripOne of the researchers noted that this
morning brain challenge needs to be con-sidered when seniors are being tested.Tests at other times of the day might notbe truly accurate.

The Department of VeteransAffairs is putting up $8 mil-lion for grants to providersof adaptive sports opportu-
nities for disabled veterans and mem-bers of the armed forces.
A lot goes into providing events andopportunities: coaches, training, sup-plies, equipment, recreation therapists,program development, and more, rightin the veteran's community. For moreadvanced athletes, there are the Para-lympic and adaptive sport programson regional and national levels. Thegrant money will be very welcome andmight even result in additional pro-grams being created across the coun-try. (In addition, when training for theParalympics, there's a monthly train-ing allowance.)
A few examples of upcoming events:Summer Sports Clinic in San Diego,Sept. 7-12; Tee Tournament in IowaCity, Iowa, Sept. 8-11; Warrior Gamesin Colorado Springs, Colo., Sept. 28-Oct. 4; Creative Arts Festival in Mil-waukee, Oct. 27-Nov. 2.
To learn more about these events,go: www.va.gov/adaptivesports
If you wonder if one of the adaptivesports programs is for you (or some-one you know), go to the website andclick around. Look at the Mission Re-Defined video. (Warning: There is a 3-second IED explosion at the 25-secondmark on the video. It passes quickly.)
To find ongoing activities and sportsclubs near you, click on Search by Loca-tion and put in your ZIP code. (Don'tsearch by your state because I foundat least one that was misfiled.) You'llsee a list of clubs along with contactinformation, including phone and e-mail. Click on each entry to see whichactivities are offered and which dis-ability groups are supported.
The variety of available activitiesis wide ranging: paddle sports, basket-ball, shooting, wheelchair tennis,rugby, water skiing, cross-country ski-ing, and more. There's something foreveryone.

Have you tried the HalifaxHumane Society’s Meet YourMatch program yet? Pets gothrough an assessment known
as Feline-ality for cats and Canine-alityfor dogs. These assessments divide the petsinto one of three colors, each of whichcontains three more sub-categories basedon the pet's primary source of motivation(internal, external, or social).
When potential adopters arrive at Hal-ifax Humane Society, they take a shortquiz to determine which color is the bestmatch. A couple example questions are “DoI want my cat to play with toys?” and “DoI want my cat to interact with guests?”
After completing the quiz, the poten-tial adopter enters the adoption areas tofind each pet's color labeled on its kennel.Now that they know which color to lookfor, it is a much easier process to find a newbest friend. If an adopter decides they wouldprefer a different pet instead, no problem!Meet Your Match is a great tool to matchpeople with pets, but it is not a requirement.
Labor Of Love Successful In FiningHomes For HHS Pets
During Halifax Humane Society’s Laborof Love promotion, nearly 120 pets foundnew forever homes, more than doublinglast year’s total! The promotion celebratedeverything our pets do to make our livesbetter, while also reducing adoption ratesto help even more pets find homes. Adop-tions were divided equally between felinefriends and canine companions.
During the promotion, the entire vari-ety of HHS pets could be adopted for only$5, $15, or $50. Just as they are with theeveryday low adoption rates, the costs ofspay/neuter surgery, vaccinations, micro-chips, one month of pet health insurance,and more were included. The promotionlasted from Friday through Labor Day.
New Retail Items Available AT HHSThere are plenty of reasons to visit Haifax
Humane Society, even if you already havea pet or pets at your home. One great rea-son is to take advantage of the many retailitems available. HHS has a wide varietyof high-quality, unique offerings for yourpet, available at very affordable rates.
HHS is now offering the Pet Safe®Easy Walk Harness®. This harness gentlydiscourages your dog from pulling on hisleash. When your dog pulls, the harnesssteers your dog to the side and redirectshis attention toward you.
The harness rests across your dog'schest instead of his throat, so there is nochoking or gagging. The Easy Walk Har-ness is perfect for everything from teach-ing your dog to heel during daily walks tokeeping your dog under control at the vetor dog park. It is available for $19.95 –24.95in a variety of sizes and colors.
You can also find fashionable new col-lars for your cat. Available for only $2.99-4.99, the collars feature breakaway bucklesand matching jingle bells. They are avail-
able in rhinestone, sparkle gemstone, two-tone paw print, and other great styles.

September 12, 2014—Seniors Today Fall Festival—Page 3Elder Fraud: Protecting Yourself
Special to Seniors Today
W hile the elderly are oftentargeted by scammers, thereare ways that you can pro-tect yourself and those you
care about. The Problem
New fraud schemes emerge constantlyand the scammers are relentlessly creative.Seniors may get official-sounding e-mailsseeking a fee for a bogus service or col-lecting an “inheritance.” Homeowners aretargeted with phony service calls. In onebrazen scam, a criminal posing as a grand-child asks the senior to wire money to getthe grandchild out of a jam.
In some cases, caregivers and familymembers may try to take advantage of asenior’s depen dence and ask the senior tosign papers that shift control to the caregiver,or simply forge the senior’s signature.
Practical Tips for ProtectionFortunately, seniors can understand the
risks and protect themselves. Here are afew helpful tips.• Beware of robocalls; that is, a comput-
erized message, instead of a person onthe phone.
• If anyone calls or e-mails you offering anopportunity to collect a prize by payingan up-front fee, remember: If it soundstoo good to be true, it is.
• Keep your Social Security number, creditcard numbers, account PINs, and otherpersonal information to yourself. Your
bank and other companies you do busi-ness with won’t call you to ask you toconfirm this information.
• Don’t be pressured. If you feel pressuredto make a decision, just say no andhang up.
• Open your door only if you recognizethe person there.
• Never sign any document you don’t fullyunderstand. If in doubt, ask a trustedfriend, family member, or adviser.
• Keep a close eye on bank statements,credit card bills, and invoices to spotany suspicious activity that could indi-cate identity theft. Requesting a freecopy of your credit report annually.
• Shred your old bills and paperwork tomake sure your personal information isnot seen. Secure your mailbox.
• For home repair projects, always get asecond estimate and call the compa-nies’ references. Never pay for the workin advance—unscrupulous contractorsmay take the money and run.
• Never use an untraceable wire service totransfer money. If you have to wire money,manage the transfer with your bank andmake sure it can trace the recipient.If you think you or a loved one has been
the target of elder fraud, contact the state’sDepartment of Consumer Protection toreport the abuse. For more information,visit the National Committee for the Pre-vention of Elder Abuse at www.preventelderabuse.org
