Senior Source
Dear Senior Source,
Q. I am downsizing from my
home that I have owned for over
40 years to an apartment. Since I
haven’t been a tenant or dealt
with a landlord since my newly-
wed days, I am unsure of what to
expect. What are the obligations
for landlords and what will be
expected of me as a tenant?
A. After owning a home for sev-
eral years, it may be difficult to
adjust to living in an apartment.
New rules and regulations must be
followed that have not been neces-
sary with home ownership.
Knowing your obligations and
those of your landlord is paramount
in having a good rental experience.
In Indiana, a tenant must follow
both state and local health and
housing codes and requirements.
Think of them as sunny day fund accounts.

The apartment must be kept rea-
sonably clean. Water, electrical and
other utility home systems should
be used in a reasonable manner.

to shop - to serve at break time. It was
chocolate with some special words
on it and very thick icing. I repeat,
very thick icing. It seemed to be well
received at break time.Just before the
music started, I had to go to the rest-
room.
That involved going outside through
one door and into another, so I would
not disturb anyone.I quietly came back,
sat down and began to listen to the
music. Probably when I began to pat
my foot I felt something sticky on the
bottom of my shoe.
I looked down. Stuck on the bottom
of my shoe was a huge piece of choco-
late cake with the icing oozing up on
all sides. Somewhere outside along the
way I had stepped on a piece of my
cake. I won’t speculate on how it got
on the ground outside the clubhouse.
Well, Ray, good husband that he
is, observed my gooey situation. He
immediately took off my cakey shoe,
OVER FIFTY
went out one door and into the other to
the kitchen area to clean up the mess
leaving shoeless me the center of at-
tention.
Then he returned and put it back on.
I can’t remember being able to tie my
own shoes, so Ray putting on my shoe
is quite normal at home, having an au-
dience was different.
The musicians endured the distrac-
tion of a snickering audience. It was
funny and somehow not embarrassing.
Now I am not sure which one of our
wedding vows that comes under., “Will
thou love her, comfort her, honor and
keep her in sickness and health, and
forsaking all others, keep thee only
unto her for as long as ye both shall
live.” However, it must be in there
somewhere.
Is Dad There?
I received a phone call from our
oldest daughter. “Is Dad there?” She
asked. I could tell by her voice that
something was wrong. That was scary.
Ray was at the car races.
Then she told me Lily, whom we
refer to as our granddog, had died
while she and her husband were on a
small trip visiting relatives.
The mother of the boy that fed them
had let him sleep and found Lily and
called her. They do not have children
and much love has been extended to
their dogs, Tiger and Lily. Now Lily
was gone.
I said how sorry I was and tried to
sympathize as much as I knew how.
We speculated about what might have
happened. She did not appear to have
been hit on the road. Then we went on
with some rather forced conversation
about their trip.
After we finished talking, I won-
dered what else I could have said to
make her feel better. Then I thought
PAGE 7
about how the first thing she asked was
if Dad was there.
I think I can speculate on what Ray
would have said in response to Lily’s
death, probably very little. Still she
asked if Dad was there. Sometimes in
sad times people just seek out those
that just listen. I think that she knew
how her Dad would respond for he had
offered her his quiet security all her
lifetime.
I think there is a lesson there….
And that is my column for this
month.
Contact Doris at Raydoris53@aol.com
I am going to be on vacation the next
couple months and will be repeating some
of my columns. If you have a favorite you
would like repeated, please let me know.

hot weather can cause body temper-
ature to rise more quickly and make
you even hotter. Slow down when it
is warm and do plenty of relaxing.
■ Know the ambient temperature in-
doors: The heat inside can quickly
rise. Keep curtains and blinds drawn
to reduce the amount of heat from
the sun. Check the thermostat to find
out the temperature. If you have an
air conditioner or fan, turn it on to
cool down the house if the tempera-
ture is creeping above 85 F. Other-
wise, seek a cooler location until
your home cools down.
■ Drink plenty of fluids: Beverages
such as water, fruit juices, decaffein-
ated teas and the like can keep you

hydrated and in top form. Avoid al-
coholic beverages, soft drinks and
caffeinated products.
■ Skip hot, heavy meals: Opt for
cooler fare, such as cold sandwich-
es, fruit and salads, to keep your
body temperature cooler.
■ Plan outdoor activities during
cooler hours: If you must spend time
outdoors, do so early in the morning
or in the evening when the tempera-
tures are bound to be lower and less
taxing.
■ Indulge in a little "cooling off":
Take a dip in a neighborhood pool or
treat yourself to an ice cream sun-
dae. Do what you need to stay cool.
■ Don't ignore signs of health prob-
lems: If you feel dizzy, have short-
ness of breath, have stopped sweat-
ing, or confusion, it could be heat
exhaustion. Call for medical help im-
mediately.

HEALTH CARE
Campaign Fact Sheet
Health care fraud, waste, and abuse costs
American taxpayers nearly $60 billion each
year. The national Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP)
program is working to strengthen Medicare by
recruiting and training retired professionals and
other senior citizens to recognize and report
both health care billing errors and suspected
instances of health care fraud. Each year nearly
4,500 volunteers, trained by regional SMP
offices conduct community outreach and peer-
to-peer training to help Medicare consumers:
• Identify potential scams and other
fraudulent activity
• Protect their personal information including
Medicare and Social Security numbers
• Detect errors on their Medicare Summary
Notices (MSNs) or Explanations of
Benefits (EOBs)
• Report suspected fraud or abuse to the
proper authorities
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
(CMS) have recently provided additional funds
to double SMP program efforts. To implement
this expansion, the U.S. Administration on Aging
(AoA) has awarded $9 million in additional funds
to the nationwide network of SMPs to enhance
their volunteer programs and outreach efforts.
SMP programs in the six states identified as
having the most fraud (FL, CA, TX, NY, LA and
MI) were provided the highest level of funding,
in part to support greater collaboration with the
Health Care Fraud Prevention and Enforcement
Action Teams (HEAT) Joint Strike Forces in
those areas. The HEAT Joint Strike Forces

So, stick to the fight when you’re
hardest hit, it’s when things seem
worse that you must not quit.

cess written all over us. The one who
gives up loses it all.

include investigators from the Departments of
Justice and Health and Human Services, as
well as local level law enforcement. The HEAT
Joint Strike Forces work jointly to increase the
capture and conviction rate for perpetrators of
Medicare fraud in these high fraud areas. With
these funds, SMPs will develop a variety of
new strategies for collaboration, outreach, and
referral of Medicare/Medicaid consumers to
HEAT Joint Strike Forces.
Medicare and Medicaid consumers are an
essential element in national fraud fighting
efforts. Consumers are best positioned to
detect and report abuse and the Senior
Medicare Patrol aims to empower them to do
so through education and advocacy. Grantees
will implement programming to expand their
reach and magnify their impact as they educate
and empower health care consumers. The
increased funds will enable grantees to:
• Expand and enhance their volunteer workforces
• Augment outreach and education to Medicare
and Medicaid beneficiaries within their state
• Enhance their ability to quickly and effectively
manage beneficiary inquiries and complaints
• Improve state-level SMP program and
volunteer management

In Revelations 3:18, Jesus told
the self-centered, lukewarm church
at Laodicea, which claimed to be

ing need of nothing, “I counsel thee
to buy of me gold tried in the fire,
that htou mayest be rich, and white
raiment that thou mayest be clothed,

Landlords may enter to make re-

ment, showing the unit to prospec-
tive renters or for emergencies.
They also have the right to end a
lease agreement if a tenant does not
pay or violates the terms of the
agreement.
The landlord is required to give a
tenant 10 days notice when evicting
for non-payment of rent. End of a
lease term requires no special no-
tice of termination by the landlord.

Try something new, or something old with a new twist

Trying new things is what food lovers
are all about.
The excitement of trying a new dish or
experimenting with an old favorite is an
experience unlike any other. In addition
to tantalizing your taste buds, trying new
foods can also open your eyes to different
cultures, and not just their cuisine.
Eating foods of different cultures often
teaches people about those cultures, in-
cluding their history and any customs and
traditions they might have when it comes to
breaking bread.
Those who want to experience Jewish
cuisine will soon learn it is both varied and
delicious. In addition, Jewish food can be
very nutritional, including the following
recipe for "Chicken With Matzo Dump-
lings" from Michael van Straten's "The
Healthy Jewish Cookbook" (Frog, Ltd.).

Chicken With Matzo Dumplings ■1
