Lake Edition

J

ust a few weeks ago, dread plagued Florida. After watching Hurricane Harvey wreak havoc on Texas, a new Category 5 hurricane -- in many ways the biggest, the baddest the Atlantic has ever seen -- was carving a 400-mile wide path towards the state.

Irma thrashed the Caribbean islands, flogged the Florida Keys and would cause the largest, most insane evacuation in the state’s history. People literally zigzagged like fire ants across Florida, trying to avoid the ever-changing forecast while facing clogged roads and a drought of gas and hotel rooms.

At first Miami and the East Coast were in the crosshairs. Then Irma continued her westward track and threatened to buzz-saw the east coast. At that point, the spaghetti models could only say with 100 percent accuracy: If you live in Florida, you are going to get smacked.

Then, Irma turned toward the area prone to the most catastrophic damage in America: Tampa Bay, where we live.

By then it was way too late to evacuate. Trapped alongside the Interstate with no gas and a hurricane barreling towards us was not our idea of fun.

After numerous trips to the stores we found that plywood, D batteries, water, bleach and canned tuna were nowhere to be found. Canned beans? In abundant supply. Oreos? Yes! Unfortunately we did not properly ration them and they were gone before Irma arrived.

Back in August, the Washington Post published a story saying that Tam-

pa Bay was ill-prepared for a major hurricane and that sea level rise would destroy the area.

“If a big one scores a direct hit, the damage would likely surpass Katrina,” wrote journalist Darryl Fears.

Then, sure enough, Anderson Cooper and his camera crew set-up shop on Tampa’s Riverwalk. Everyone knows the Master of Disaster arrives only when devastation of Biblical proportions is expected. You might as well get your ax and hang out in the attic and hope the high temperatures don’t kill you.

Please CNN, in the future, if Anderson must be here, hide him in an alley.

We’re scared enough as it is.

The eye of the hurricane passed east of Tampa Bay and trashed much of the state, though damage wasn’t as severe as predicted.

Still, many of our readers have endured terrible losses and heartache. We hope you will recover quickly and that you can take some time to relax and enjoy this edition.

Whether a victim or charitable supporter, be sure to check out articles on how to avoid post-hurricane fraud and charity schemes.

We’ve included recipes for mango “Halloween rattlers” to make with the grandkids as well as a recipe for a pumpkin facial mask to help you destress.

Forget your hurricane woes at the Clearwater Jazz Holiday where for a mere $16 ticket (price if purchased in advance) you can see the likes of Kenny Loggins and Michael McDonald.

We’ve unscrambled some of the confusion about Medicare Open Enrollment while columnist Susan Goldfein takes on the donut hole dilemma with her madcap comic style.

Don’t forget, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We think you’ll enjoy our interview with Nancy Brinker, founder of the Susan G. Komen organization. Check with your doctor and see if it’s time for a mammogram.

Finally, Happy National Kale Day to all the haters – we’ve got a story for you too.

Because of space limitations, these stories may not appear in every edition.

Concertgoers enjoy waterfront entertainment at the 2016 Clearwater Jazz Holiday in Coachman Park. The music fest returns Oct. 19-22.

Photos courtesy of Clearwater Jazz Holiday.

By Randal C. Hill, LifestyLes After 50 MusiC WRiteR CLEARWATER -- Thumping hot beats and too-cool grooves. A backdrop of sparkling waters and jawdropping sunsets. An assortment of tasty treats and potent potables.

Baby boomer faves like Kenny Loggins, Michael McDonald and the Temptations.

Of course we’re talking about (well, raving about) the 38th annual Clearwater Jazz Holiday, slated for Oct. 19–22 at Clearwater’s Coachman Park. Start making plans now to attend what is tagged by many past attendees as simply the best four-day music gathering in the country.

Steve Weinberger, Clearwater Jazz Holiday Foundation CEO, says each day has its own special composition.

“Thursdays and Saturdays are known for their classic appeal and throwback vibes,” he said. “Friday is heavy on vintage, retro and swing revival themes.

Sunday’s niche is Americana and bluesy folk-rock.”

Soul, swing, and hot jazz The legendary Temptations and The Four Tops bring vintage Motown to the Thursday night stage.

Friday, swing revivalists Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox ooze crossover appeal by lending modern vibrations to yesteryear’s classic genres.

And, “New Orleans-based legend Jon Cleary is another great addition to the (Friday) lineup this year,” Weinberger said. “We love the music and feel of New

Orleans; that sound has always been a big part of the Jazz Holiday experience.”

The festival’s biggest names Kenny Loggins (Footloose, Danger Zone) and Michael McDonald (What a Fool Believes, Minute by Minute) perform Saturday night, followed by the traditional fireworks show.

Also on Saturday, keyboardist, composer and Grammy winner Jason Miles brings an all-star cast to the stage including Jeff Coffin and Carter Beauford (of Dave Matthews Band), Philip Dizack, Shaun Martin, Mino Cinelu, Gerald Veasley and Karen Briggs.

Sunday’s Americana theme features the Grammynominated/folk-rocking/crowd-loving Avette Brothers.

“They bring such a sincere authenticity and unique energy that make all their shows anywhere so very special,” Weinberger said.

The jazz fest sprang from humble beginnings when it started back in 1980 on the back of a flatbed truck. For the first three decades it was a purist-centered jazz festival with such headliners as Woody Herman, Dizzy Gillespie, and Manhattan Transfer.

Over the years both the festival’s reputation and the attendance count have grown beyond all expectations and, with it, the scope of the music offered.

Since the mid-2000s, it has become a musical mashup of jazz, swing, blues, folk, soul, funk, Zydeco and old and new rock and pop. Rosters have included such diverse names as Buckwheat Zydeco, Bonnie Raitt, Kenny Loggins

Chicago, Gladys Knight, Sheryl Crow, Kool and the Gang, and Earth, Wind and Fire.

What’s allowed? What’s not?

Lawn chairs, blankets, sunglasses and sunscreen may be brought in from outside. No outside coolers, food or drinks, though, as a wide variety of food and drink options will be available.

Restrictions include no pets (except for service animals), no glass containers, no canopies or umbrellas, no audio or video recording devices, no weapons, no fireworks, no laser pointers.

Tickets Buy them early. Everything costs more the day of the fun. General admission/lawn seating tickets are $16 per day if purchased in advance. Kids 12 and under are free when accompanied by a paid adult.

Four-day and weekend discount packages can also be had.

Budget-busting holders of a $170 VIP Experience ticket will be seated within the first eight rows before the stage. The outlay also buys access to the secured VIP Hospitality Area with its abundancy of free food and up to three glasses of beer or wine. The ultimate crowded concert perk, though, just may be access to (are you ready for this?) the “executive restroom trailer.”

And for you party animals, there are plenty of latenight get-togethers so be sure to check them out. Tickets for after-parties are purchased separately.

Acts are subject to cancellation so please visit www.clearwaterjazz.com to purchase tickets and for complete schedules and information.

• Ask for cash donations.

• Ask you to wire money.

• Thank you for a donation you didn’t make.

• Try to get you to donate immediately, without giving you time to research.

• Use a similar name as an established charity.

• Refuse to give you proof that a donation is tax deductible.

Here’s how to stay protected from online charity scams: • Be careful of which websites you give your email to.

• Any organization asking you to send money overseas is a scam.

• Do not open email attachments.

Actual emails from real charity organizations will not typically include attachments. Opening an attachment from an unsolicited email may lead to a computer virus.

• Investigate the charity’s website.

Legitimate charities’ web addresses typically end in .org – not .com. You can also rule out any website that asks for your personal information – these are scams.

• Be cautious of people claiming to be victims. If someone contacts you directly for help with something like a disaster or disease, they are likely to be scamming you.

• Do not donate immediately over the phone. Do your research.

You can also help those affected

When more people are informed of these scams, more victims can get the help they need.

Medicare Open Enrollment Begins October 15 Understand Your Options

By TERRI BRyCE REEVES, Lifestyles After 50 Editor is normally 20 percent after you’ve reached a deductible and there is no out-of-pocket annual maximum limit.

O

ctober brings Medicare Open Enrollment, an annual opportunity to compare, review and enroll in Medicare health and drug plans. This year, open enrollment begins October 15 and ends December 7.

Coverage begins January 1, 2018.

Understanding Medicare Part A, B, C and D and sorting out the differences between original Medicare, Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans is key to making the right choice. So let’s dive in the alphabet soup and see what the government and private insurance companies have to offer.

Original Medicare consists of Parts A and B. • Medicare Part A covers inpatient care in hospitals, short-term care in a skilled nursing facility and hospice care. It will also cover some home health costs during recovery, but generally doesn’t cover long-term care.

(Often there is no premium but deductibles and coinsurance will apply.)

• Medicare Part B covers outpatient services like doctors’ visits, labs and X-rays; medical equipment and supplies; ambulance and preventative services.

Usually there is a premium for Part B. The co-pay

Lifestyles After 50 • Lake/Marion • October 2017 • page 8

Medicare Part C, also known as Medicare Advantage plans, are Medicare replacement plans sponsored by private companies that h av e co n t ract ed wi t h Medicare. These plans must provide at the least as much coverage as original Medicare and often deliver more. They bundle hospital stays, doctors’ visits and other services; most provide prescription drug coverage. Some include vision, dental and other coverages not covered by Medicare. They usually cap out-of-pocket expenses and their premiums are normally lower than Medicare Supplement plans.

They usually have co-pays and deductibles.

Medicare Part D is prescription coverage run by Medicare-approved private insurance companies.

Those who have original Medicare or a Medicare Supplement plan, should consider purchasing Part D separately to cover drug costs.

Each drug plan has its own list of covered drugs (formularies) placed into different “tiers” according to costs.

Medicare Supplement Insurance, or a Medigap policy, is sold by private companies to fill the “gaps” that original Medicare doesn’t cover, like copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles.

Some Medigap policies offer coverage for services that original Medicare doesn’t cover, like medical care when traveling outside the U.S. Please note, Medigap policies sold after January 1, 2006 aren’t allowed to include prescription drug coverage so you must join a Part D plan if you want prescription drugs covered. Also, Medigap policies

generally don’t cover vision or dental care.

Kale to the Chief!

T

he calendars of every country have certain days labeled as particular holidays, traditions or other celebratory events. We are alerted to these months in advance as we stroll the aisles of our favorite stores, finding shelves laden with decorations that cause us to exclaim: “ALREADY?!”

We associate certain months with particular foods. Valentine’s Day brings visions of chocolate.

Think November and we can already taste the turkey, dressing and cranberry sauce. If I say October, you instantly think of colorful little pieces of candy corn, as well as healthy servings of kale on your plate, right?

October 4th is National Kale Day, and like candy corn, you either love it or hate it. Recently, I saw a recipe for kale which states: “Kale is best prepared by lightly frying it in coconut oil, which makes it easier to slide from the skillet into the trash bin.”

Still, many of us eat it because it will make us “cool,” intellectually superior, or we will live forever because it is packed with every healthy vitamin and mineral imaginable.

Kale (also known as leaf cabbage) is not as new as one might think. Until the end of the Middle Ages, kale was one of the most common green vegetables in

Europe. Curly-leaved varieties of cabbage already existed along with flat-leaved varieties in Greece in the fourth century B.C., where it was also used medicinally. Kale was brought to North America by the colonists in the 16th century. Later, Russian kale was introduced into Canada, and then into the United States, by Russian traders in the 19th century.

During World War II, people across the U.K. were encouraged to cultivate kale (and other vegetables) in the Dig for Victory campaign.

The vegetable was easy to grow and provided important nutrients missing from their diets because of the harsh rationing.

So be kind to kale, and it will be kind to you.

I don’t dislike kale. In fact, I will cook it occasionally (in coconut oil), and even serve it to dinner guests, unless they present me with a Get out of Kale Card.

N o w, w h a t I a m r e a l l y anticipating is February 14th of next year. It will be National Quinoa Day!

Wonder Women, Unite in the Fight to Beat Breast Cancer!

R

AO is proud to have a dedicated team of superheroes in the battle against breast cancer, led by RAO’s Medical Director of Women’s Imaging Center, Board Certified radiologist, Dr. Amanda Aulls. While RAO’s Early Detection Defenders may not have the flash and spectacle of the conventional superhero, they compose a powerful league of allies every bit as valiant in their dedication to saving lives.

When caught before it has had a chance to spread, breast cancer has a 93% survival rate, making early detection the best defense against this sneaky, silent foe.

RAO has made it our mission to make early detection possible for more women than ever before. RAO remains a local leader in diagnostic and interventional radiology services by being a forerunner in the latest state-of-the-art technologies and procedures, and its Women’s Imaging Center and TimberRidge Imaging Center devote particular emphasis to early breast cancer detection in a professional, comforting and empathetic environment.

“As a woman doctor, I contribute a unique understanding to women’s diagnostic care,” says Dr. Aulls. “After all, I’ve had screening mammograms, so I can talk about them as more than a service or statistic, but as a firsthand experience.

A screening 3D mammography™ exam at RAO delivers the

highest level of accuracy, takes only a few minutes, and is performed with the utmost kindness, empathy and respect.”

Never a practice to stay with old or outdated technologies, RAO continually researches and incorporates the latest advances in diagnostic care. RAO was among the first regional providers to offer 3D mammography™ exams, also called tomosynthesis, which produce multiple images of breast tissue from varying angles in the same amount of time, for dramatically superior imaging. Because it provides greater detail of tiny abnormalities, it is especially useful when examining the estimated 47% of women with dense breast tissue. Not only is it up to 40% better at discovering invasive breast cancer, 3D mammography™ technology produces far fewer false positive results. “Enhanced accuracy means fewer supplementary exams and reduced patient anxiety,” says Dr. Aulls. “It is the gold standard of mammography, making it RAO’s present standard of care.”

Adding to overall accuracy is RAO’s commitment to quality control. “Our radiology team reads all imaging results in-house, instead of sending them out to a third party like a lot of practices,” says Dr. Aulls. “We can’t trust outsiders to have our level of experience, skill and specialized training. This is especially true when something

suspicious shows up in a screening mammogram. Those images need to be reviewed by a radiologist who specializes in breast imaging and can engage in a direct conversation with a patient’s doctor.”

When something questionable does show up in a diagnostic mammogram or a patient presents with a lump or other symptom, that patient’s doctor can order a biopsy up until 3pm that same day, for fast answers, quick action and reduced anxiety. RAO applies the same commitment to all of its women’s imaging services, and is in the process of upgrading its diagnostic technologies this year, including acquiring the latest in stereotactic breast biopsy and DEXA bone density scanning.
