Volunteer members from the AARP North Hempstead team facilitated a brunch to thank the families, caregivers,  and staff at the Ronald McDonald House in New Hyde Park. AARP knows all too well the challenges and sacrifices that family caregivers face when a loved one is ill. This was their way of celebrating their caregiving efforts and taking their minds off  The brunch was a way to thank the families and staff for all the sacrifices and hardships experienced during their children’s illness.  

Movie enthusiasts of all ages are descending on Des Moines this week for the Interrobang Film Festival (IFF) presented by AARP Movies for Grownups. More than 55 films from 30 countries will be screened over the three days of the Des Moines Arts Festival® June 22-24.

It ended at 3rd Avenue and Grant Street where the stolen car crashed, prompting police to warn people to stay in their homes while they searched the area from 3rd to 5th and Lincoln Street to Logan Street.

From summer to fall, AARP will be at it all!

Autumn’s harvest brings us an abundant array of delicious foods as we begin preparations for the winter months.  New Hampshire’s wildlife is also benefiting from nature’s bounty as seasonal changes trigger survival strategies for winter’s pending challenges.

South Carolinians, take notice. The Base Load Review Act allowed SCE&G to charge us some of the highest electricity rates in the southeast for the construction of V.C. Summer- an abandoned, unfinished nuclear power plant that will never produce power. SCE&G was able to raise our rates 9 times in less than 10 years, including a full year and a half after knowing the doomed fate of the nuclear project. So far, SCE&G parent company SCANA’s shareholders received $529 million of the $2 billion paid by SCE&G customers for V.C. Summer.

June is National Great Outdoors Month, a time for observing nature and enjoying our surrounding environments. Beginning as a week-long celebration of nature, we now nationally recognize the beautiful countryside, forests and parks of the United States for the entire month of June. This recognition promotes the splendor of our great outdoors and highlights the labors of those who work to preserve nature in our modern world. It raises the awareness of national policies on nature conservation by highlighting the beauty and health benefits of the natural environment.

Greetings one and all…

Proton pump inhibitors, or PPIs, are a class of drugs that treat acid reflux and peptic ulcers. The three most commonly prescribed PPIs are omeprazole, pantoprazole and esomeprazole. In recent years, some studies reported that PPIs increase risk for dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease. We hear patients asking questions about this issue, so I’d like to clarify what we currently know about this risk.

Every two seconds, someone’s identity is stolen, but you can help protect yourself against fraud by shredding sensitive documents you no longer need, such as old tax returns, bank statements, credit card information or offers, health records, and employment forms–anything that contains your personal identifying information that thieves can use to steal your identity.

Join AARP for a night of music, food and fireworks and listen to the band “Stark Raving Madge.”

Fraud that targets older adults is a big problem in North Carolina and nationally. According to the latest statistics from the Consumer Sentinel and the NC Department of Justice, there were 57,838 North Carolina complaints about identity theft and fraud in 2014. (That report is being updated this spring and finds that the problem is getting worse).

Now that summer is here, scams across Idaho are starting to heat up. Here are some of the schemes con-artists are using and a few other things to be aware of.

Organic Fruit Picked at the Peak of Freshness Colorado's Only Certified Organic, Fourth Generation Orchard Hello everyone, It feels like summer is here!. Hot days, irrigating, thinning, and mowing are all sure signs we are into the summer cycle. While harvest is still a ways off, the fruit is growing bigger by the day. It amazes me how quickly peaches can grow from pin head size to walnut size. Given that rapid change, I want to let you know how the crop looks and what is happening on the farm. To start with, tomorrow is the last day to purchase our CSA shares for this season (in actuality, we won't get them taken off the website until Monday, so you will get a couple extra days for last minute signups). CSA's allow you to buy a share now, and then during the main fruit season, you get a selection of our fruit each week. Our website (www.elafamilyfarms.com) gives you all the details of how this works. Some of our customers love stopping by the stand and picking up their share, others love to shop a la carte and not get a set delivery. Either way, we love seeing you all at the markets. With the exception of cherries and plums, our fruit crop looks good this year. We ran the gauntlet of spring frosts, but peaches, pears and apples came through in mostly good shape. They were certainly thinned, and there are some lighter spots or varieties, but overall it is nice to see fruit on the trees. The cherries and plums took a couple of frosts a bit more seriously - we will have very few, if any, cherries at the markets this year. Plums are variable - Shiro's and Italians look good and the Fortune and Elephant Hearts are very thin. In between, with light crops, are Santa Rosa and Black Amber. We will have some plums, just not bunches.

RALEIGH — Lowering your monthly health care insurance premium sounds pretty good. But what if your new coverage doesn’t cover preexisting conditions, caps your coverage or charges you more because your older or work in an occupation that requires physical activity? What if the company or association you bought your policy from is no longer solvent and can’t pay your claim?

Lights, Camera, Action!
