Seniors Golden Years Turn Into Golden Fears
2008-03-17 12:05:00
Yakima, WA . USA by Leah Beth Ward Whenever Moleen Cline remembers the neighborly knock on her door two years ago, she still gets a shudder of anxiety. Duane Lee Ortiz put on a good show, talking his way into Cline's condo in Yakima by offering to wash her windows inside and out. While he was at it, he'd shine up the mirrors, too. He was down on his luck, he told her, and just needed to make a little money. "You have this kind of maternal feeling toward him. I just let him have the run of the house," she said. Sure enough, a day later when Cline went to put onthe diamond ring her husband had given her two years before he died, it wasgone. Yakima police immediately suspected Ortiz, who two years earlier hadswindled more than $100,000 from a retired machinist living in aYakima mobile home court. For that crime, prosecutors had to plea bargain and ended up with only a seven-day sentence."The punishment did not fit the crime," recalled Therese Murphy, deputy prosecuting attorney for Y...

For Many, The Golden Years Aren't So Golden
2008-03-07 12:50:00
Elder abuse is widespread, yet few resources are directed toward combatting it. One Senate committee, for example, found that less than 2 percent of federal money targeted for abuse prevention is spent to help elders.But the Baby Boom generation, now heading into its senior years, is focusing attention on the issue, as Jennifer Fernandez's story in the News & Record on Sunday pointed out.That story also showed that the problem isn't just substandard care in nursing homes. It's also financial abuse. Studies show that the elderly are the ones most often falling victim to these scams. Aware that many older people have substantial savings, and aware that aging may have left the elderly isolated or diminished their faculties, scammers see them as prime targets.Clearly, the nation must target the abuse and exploitation of elders or else the elderly will keep getting targeted. The elderly must not be preyed upon by anyone ? from family members to Internet scammers.

The Golden Years
2007-11-19 06:52:00
Do you wonder what goes through the mind of an elderly person when he or she sits and watches the world go by?There?s this old man that sits at a nearby hawker center every morning. All he does is drink his coffee and stares into blank space. I?ve got a soft spot for old folks and I had the opportunity to ask him this question one morning. ?Uncle, is everything ok? What are you thinking about?? The old man looked at me, smiled and said, ?Nothing ah-boy. Just thinking about old days...?Most of the folks in the neighbourhood call me ah-boy. They have been calling me that for years and quite frankly, I don?t mind it.I?ve got parents that are aging and I worry most about my dad. It?s never easy for someone to go through a stroke. Imagine having to go through it 3 times. There?s a saying that worrying doesn?t bring you anywhere. How do you not worry when you love a person?I found this website called Bettercaring. It?s an awesome website for those of us that are taking care of elderly fol...

Exciting new Columbian cd- Golden Years of Disco Fuentes
2007-10-30 11:34:00
Colombia!: The Golden Age of Discos Fuentes Sometimes I feel like Alexander the Great (no, not that way- in music) looking upon his empire and crying because he has nothing left to conquer: I've ravaged about six different genre kingdoms and it gets tougher to find music with which I'm not familiar. That changed on Saturday when this Disco Fuentes Cd, The Golden Age Of Discos Fuentes - The Powerhouse Of Colombian Music arrived from Amazon. I'll have to admit that I've always considered Cumbia music as having less depth than Caribbean music- like J. Strauss' Waltz' to L.V. Beethoven's symphonies, if you'll allow me such a gross comparison- a fun dance music with humorous lyrics, but somewhat repetitive and with few examples of instrumental virtuosity. This disk changed my mind. I've spent a week on it and I still slip it into my Clarion. Of the handful of essential music on this disk, I chose Cumbia en do menor by Lito Barrientos y su Orchesta. What the heck is it? A ja...

America’s golden years?
2007-08-31 02:46:00
THE WORLD’S great powers are growing old. Steep declines in birthrates over the last century and major increases in life expectancy have caused the populations of Britain, China, France, Germany, Japan, Russia, and the United States to age at a substantial rate. This phenomenon will hinder the other major powers challenging America’s economic and military dominance, largely because these countries are growing old faster than is the United States. Yet population aging may still threaten America’s international security interests. Read More…

Greening the Golden Years Podcast: An Interview With Veteran Protest Leade
2007-08-16 15:05:00
Back on August 2, 2007, I did a podcast featuring three women -- two Chileans and a Canadian -- who had run afoul of the law in their respective countries. The Canadian is Betty Krawczyk, and I had the distinct pleasure of interviewing her by phone from her prison cell. She's intelligent, charming, and an outspoken proponent for environmental and civil rights issues. Our interview touches on Betty's evaluation of the Canadian court system, her first eyewitness account of discrimination and cruelty, and the events that led to leaving her native Louisiana with a husband and six children to settle in Canada. read more
