Nevada Press Association’s “Best

By: Dan Roberts / Roberts Rules 

“ 

Who’s THE MAN!” I roared to my Rana as I 

nearly tumbled off the ladder in celebration. 

With (almost my) blood, (a great deal of) 

sweat and (close to) tears - along with that frightening female “look” 

that terrorizes all men, I had done the improbable; NO, make that the 

impossible! 

I got our big screen television back to life. 

Regular readers are well-aware of my mechanical-challenged 

abilities. I have no hesitation in confirming what my Ladylove has 

advised to anyone who will listen: when it comes to those “manly” 

requirements, the publisher of The Vegas Voice is useless. 

Now as I previously mentioned, I thankfully have a “silver bullet” - 

my Bronx brother, best buddy and Vegas Voice columnist Bill Caserta. 

The man can solve and fix anything; and so long as he tolerates me, 

I’m in good shape. 

But this was different. Bill and Barbara were in Europe and our TV 

picture was now a black box. Make no mistake, there was panic in the 

air. 

To further complicate matters, Rana had just purchased an Amazon 

Fire TV Stick. “Look at all the options” she proudly announced. “We 

may never go out again.” 

And to really put yours truly in her potential cross-hairs, she was told 

by the 20-something techno-jerk when she purchased the gadget, that 

“even an idiot” can hook it up. “Good” she replied to this pimplefaced 

geek, “I have one at home.” 

So anyway, with my manhood (and idiocy) at stake, I slowly opened 

the box. Trying desperately to recall what Bill has told me countless 

times, I ever so carefully emptied the contents. 

Luckily, the instructions contained “pictures” and I was (eventually) 

able to connect the HDMI thingy (by the way, anybody know what 

HDMI means?) into the TV. It worked. 

So as I patted myself on the back, we settled in for the evening. The

Call Me Mr. Fix-It! 

Another Guardianship Seminar 

Vegas Voice political editor Rana Goodman with Las Vegas City 

Councilman Steve Seroka at Atria Seville Senior Living Facility in 

Summerlin last month. Residents were able to obtain free notary 

services for their Guardianship Nomination forms. It was our 17th 

guardianship seminar this year. 


crisis however was the next day. 

While I knew to switch the HDMI remote button from 2 to 1, when 

I did so, our “regular” channels failed to appear. A totally dark screen. 

“Do something!” my Rana commanded. Looking at our four TV 

remotes - and all those other buttons (which Bill told me never to 

touch) I felt a tightness in my chest and sweat appearing from every 

part of my body. 

I immediately reached for my cell to call Bill – but remembered he 

was in Italy. I quickly calculated the time zone difference and realized 

that he probably would not get back to me since it was after 3:00 am 

his time. 

Rana’s grandchildren weren’t around either. No; it was all on me. 

Nervously, I climbed the stepstool and saw (no exaggeration, about 

a gazillion) wires and plugs behind the mounted TV. “Hurry” Rana 

thundered. “I don’t want to miss America’s Got Talent. It’s the semifinals.” 

Not having a freakin’ clue as to what I was doing or even looking 

for, I felt the strange presence of Bill by my side telling me to stay 

calm (“The Force will be with you.” his Obi-wan Kenobi assured this 

terrified Luke Skywalker). 

Drying my trembling hands, I touched (once again, no exaggeration, 

about a million) wires, cords and other stuff - and after what seemed 

like an eternity …a miracle. Picture and sound appeared from the 

heavens. It was a gift from God. 

Never mind that I had to simply plug the cord back in - it’s the result 

that counts. 

Rana, you hear that? I joyfully shouted. It was the Mormon 

Tabernacle Choir singing Handel’s “Hallelujah.” Rather than join 

in, she simply shook her head over her PILL’s (partner in love & life) 

exuberance in hearing the harmonic voices. 

Snicker all you want, but I now know exactly how Edison felt when 

he saw that bulb light up for the first time; how Sir Edmond Hillary felt 

when he reached the top of Mt. Everest; when…well, you get the idea. 

I was Rocky Balboa. “Yo Adrian, I did it!” Even Rana smiled, but I 

think she was just relieved that I did not break anything. 

Anyway we sat on our recliners in time to watch “AGT” (with picture 

and sound in perfect condition, I must proudly add) and, as usual, fell 

asleep half-way through the telecast. But no worries, Mr. Fix-It knew 

how to “record” the show. 

And the best news of all – Bill returned home 3 days later.

By: Mike Landry / Golf Fore Ever 

For those not familiar with the USGA GHIN 

handicap system (required for those who 

play in USGA sanctioned tournaments) here’s a 

quick lesson. 

Why is a handicap used? It levels the 

playing field. It enables players of differing abilities to compete on an 

equitable basis. 

Example: If player 1 has a 20 handicap index and player 2 has a 

+4 handicap index, then player 2 spots golfer 1 “24 shots.” Now the 

players are playing heads up golf. 

How the Index works? The handicap index is a course 

independent measure that shows up on your Handicap Card and is 

specific to your abilities. It’s adjusted depending on the course you 

play. 

Check with the Pro Shop for the course Rating/Index sheet so you 

can determine your handicap for each course you play (they are 

all different). When you input your scores in the GHIN system, the 

computer adjusts for each course you play, tees used and so on. 

What is ESC Score? (Equitable Stroke Control) and the table 

below shows the maximum number of strokes that a player can take 

on each hole based their handicap.

I’ve Been Thinking 

By: Bill Caserta / Bill’s Blurbs 

Why the sun lightens our hair, but 

darkens our skin? 

Why don’t you ever see the headline “Psychic 

Wins Lottery”? 

Why is “abbreviated” such a long word? 

Why is it that Doctors call what they do “practice”? 

Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor and dishwashing 

liquid made with real lemons? 

Why is the man who invests all your money called a “broker”? 

Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called “rush hour”? 

Why isn’t there mouse-flavored cat food? 

Why didn’t Noah swat those two mosquitoes when he had the chance? 

Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections? 

Why don’t sheep shrink when it rains? 

Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together? 

If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the “terminal”? And 

speaking of flying, you know that indestructible black box that is used 

on airplanes? Why don’t they make the whole plane out of that stuff? 

Spell Check: Let me tell you friends, that just one simple spelling 

mistake can make your life hell. A friend of mine recently texted a short, 

romantic note to his wife while he was away on a football weekend, and 

he missed one small “e.” 

No problem you might say. Not so! This tiny error has caused him to 

seek police protection just to enter his own house. 

He wrote, “Hi darling, I’m enjoying and experiencing the best time 

of my whole life, and I wish you were her!” 

And Finally: I know you have been laying awake at night 

wondering why baby diapers have brand names such as Luvs, Huggies 

and Pampers, while undergarments for us seniors are called Depends. 

Well here is the Bill’s Blurbs answer: When babies “go” in their 

pants, people are still gonna Love’em, Hug’em and Pamper’em. 

When we do the same thing, it “Depends” on who’s in the will!

Tin Pan Alley 

By: Yvonne Cloutier / Musical Moments 

Before the 1890s, popular songs were written 

but composers hired solely for sales profits 

did not exist. This all changed when the Tin Pan 

Alley era developed. 

Tin Pan Alley was an area on West 28 th Street between Broadway and 

6 th Avenue in Manhattan, New York. Fledgling publishers and composers 

who had a vision of being able to have their music published pursued 

this business of getting their music out to the public on a big scale. 

They congregated here. The Tin Pan Alley name was eventually given 

to these thriving businesses. 

They began in simple brownstone flats. The office usually consisted 

of a broken-down, out-of-tune piano, a second-hand desk and chair 

and wooden racks holding the stock of sheet music. 

Musicians, usually piano players called pluggers (some good, some 

bad), were hired to play the songs for singers and night club owners 

looking for new material. 

This music business began to thrive as publishers then hired 

composers and lyricists on a permanent basis to create popular songs. 

These composers became popular because some of their songs became 

hits - either because they were songs that people liked, or because 

of the sales pitches that the publishers used. Publishers would then 

market these songs in sheet music form. Covers were colorful and very 

attractive, often with the singer’s picture on them. 

If an unknown composer brought a song to one of these businesses, 

the publishers would put one of the popular composer’s names on the 

music as co-writer in order to create sales. Sometimes, singers of the 

songs, as with Al Jolson, would require that their names be on the music 

as co-writers so as to get monetary credit. 

It became a time when a song’s popularity was determined by the 

number of copies of sheet music the song sold. They were not always 

the best songs, and most of them did not become standard songs that 

we hear today. 

How did Tin Pan Alley get its name? It is reported that a newspaper 

reporter said that the din of competing pianists plugging the songs 

sounded like a bunch of tin pans clanging. Also, the shabby area looked 

like an alley. Thus the name: Tin Pan Alley.

background, specializes in ragtime piano. She reports about 

music on SCA-TV.com/Anthem Alive! You can contact her

What’s Happening This Month 

By: Evan Davis / Entertainment Editor 

It’s the month of Witches & Warlocks, but 

there’s nothing scary about the shows and 

talent we can see in Vegas. We get quite a diverse 

list of entertainment, starting with a wonderful 

jazz guitarist, Graham Dechter, who will be performing December 

10 th and 11 th at Myron’s Cabaret Jazz in The Smith Center. 

Let’s also check a quick week of entertainment - starting with Kelly 

Clinton’s open mic at the Bootlegger Bistro and then Tuesday night 

to hear Craig Canter at Tattoria Reggiano in Downtown Summerlin. 

Wednesday starts the beginning of the week for The Italian American 

Club with different singers nightly. Stop by the Piazza Lounge on 

Thursday night October 4 th or 25 th to see Jonathan Karrant, and of 

course, Nik Mastrangelo at Monzu Pizzeria on Friday. 

There are always a couple of special performances you can see just 

about every month, if not every week. For instance, A.J. Lambert, 

Frank Sinatra’s Granddaughter, is performing at the Bootlegger 

Bistro’s Copa room on October 27 th and Jimmy Hopper will be 

performing at Myron’s Cabaret Jazz on October 29 th . 

You must get to see Cocktail Cabaret, featuring the talent of 

Philip Fortenberry, Eric Jordan Young, Daniel Emmet (with 

our congratulations for being a finalist on America’s Got 

Talent!), Niki Scalera and Maren Wade, at Cleopatra’s Barge in 

Caesar’s Palace Wednesday - Saturday at 6:00 pm. 

And of course, on Saturday, October 

20 th , The Vegas Voice is presenting 

“Lullaby on Broadway” at Sun City 

MacDonald Ranch featuring the vocals 

of Randal Keith and Genevieve 

Dew under the musical direction of 

Bill Fayne (See page 13). A show you 

won’t want to miss! 

***Permit me to once again, tell 

everyone about the fantastic pleasure I 

Nightlife Editor

OLD SIGNS. 

NEW TECHNOLOGY. 

Introducing Brilliant, the newest 

interactive experience at The Neon 

Museum. This revolutionary art form 

uses sight and sound to transport you 

through time and bring long dormant 

signs back to life. If all this seems hard 

to picture, that’s because it is. You 

literally have to see it to believe it. 

Becoming Samadhi 

By: Ali Guggenheim / Psychic Phenomenon 

here has never been a word that can convey 

Tthe equivalent translation for Samadhi. 

Even if there was an accurate definition on a mind 

level, it would still be difficult to understand, since 

the only way to fully know Samadhi is to experience it. 

In the movie “Samadhi: Maya the Illusion of the Self” Samadhi in 

ancient Sanskrit refers to “the transcendent union that is at the root 

of all spirituality and all self-inquiry. Awakened beings throughout 

history have learned the wisdom of self-surrender to what Buddha 

called “Anata”, that which lies beyond name and form.” 

When we are born, we are told who we are, by our culture and 

society. At the same time, we become slaves to the deeper unconscious, 

biological craving and aversion that governs our choices. 

As we became more and more immersed in our daily lives we forget 

who we truly are. We also forget what we have forgotten - why we’re 

here and where we’re going. 

Rather than human “beings” we’ve become human “doers.” 

Therefore, whatever we want to attain is ego based. 

In seeking spirituality, it isn’t the seeking that’s the problem. It’s 

thinking that the answer lies in some external form.

However in Samadhi, our soul’s journey is like life and death or the 

Yin and Yang. An inseparable continuation that is endlessly unfolding 

with no beginning and no end. Where there is no fear of life or death. 

Samadhi is where our world of duality merges and is rejoined as 

supreme souls that have no needs or wants. The place where all fears, 

doubts, dualities and differences vanish and where the thinker and the 

thought become one. 

It is where the surrendered ego and soul merge. Here slates are 

wiped clean of any attachments of ego/mind or any limiting identity; 

ultimately leaving us with a heart connection to everyone and 

everything. 

With Samadhi, reincarnation is no longer needed, since the merged 

energy, comes together to form a complete energy system that can 

sustain itself on either side, or, as quoted in the book of Genesis: 

“Become ye as the Gods.”

The New Dress Codes 

By: Vicki Wentz / Vicki’s Voice 

read a newspaper column recently that 

I bemoaned the…uh…slutaciousness of 

the clothing on young girls nowadays, and I was 

thrilled that someone out there is actually awake! 

As a teacher, I gotta tell you, folks - the outfits which our girls come 

to school today are so appallingly hussy-fied I sometimes don’t even 

know where to look. You grandmas and granddads out there: do you 

have ANY idea what your grandchild is wearing? 

As the parent of teenagers, I could always find clothes they could 

wear that wouldn’t give me, say, an aneurysm, and today is no different. 

If the that’s-all-there-is-out-there fantasy my child was spinning were 

really true, and I couldn’t find one single pair of jeans on this earth 

that weren’t too small for my daughter or too large for my son, and 

there were no blouses that actually had sleeves wide enough to hide a 

bra strap, well, I would scream loudly on a street corner for something 

to be done. 

(Or, if I could work a sewing machine without copious blood loss 

– and resulting togs that bring “Heidi” to mind – I’d make outfits 

for them myself, which they would wear under threat of being homeschooled!) 

But, that fantasy is not true. Some teen, one day, upon returning 

from the mall with an outfit her parents assumed was for her Barbie: 

Mom (small frown, tsk tsk): “Dear, you could get a sun burn 

through that blouse, and you seem to have forgotten the other half of 

your skirt.” 

Dad (spluttering, slack-jawed, face turning several shades of a 

chartreuse-like color): “B-b-…I-I-I-…di-di-…” 

Daughter (whining): “Mo-o-o-om, this is all they sell now, I swe-eear! 

I couldn’t find one pair of shorts that covered my rear, or a single 

dress that would be acceptable anywhere but Hooker Street! I’m no-oo-ot 

ki-i-i-idding!” 

And, her parents bought it, and that one day changed the course of 

teen history. From that day on, it became acceptable for a young girl to 

wear clothes that are not only too revealing, too small, and too skanky, 

but are also really ugly (and I am a veteran of the bellbottom, elephant 

pants years, so I KNOW ugly!). 

And for guys to wear pants that are so insanely large that they must 

hold onto the crotch as they walk – NOT because it’s cool, but because 

otherwise the pants will literally fall to their ankles. 

From there, we saw not just purple hair, black lipstick, and “goth” 

garb, but the tattoos. Not just tiny butterflies on the back of a shoulder, 

either. I’m talking big honking skulls, snakes and various cute little 

adages like, “Die, M---F---!” and “Kill the B---!” Charming. 

Then came piercings: one or two… or seven holes in the ear, on 

the nose, above the eyebrow, through the tongue (which, please, just 

shoot me) and beside the lip. These will come in handy when they have 

children, because they give babies something to look at and play with 

(grab…rip out) while they’re having a bottle. 

On the other hand, when you’re walking down the aisle on your 

father’s arm, girls, how great will it be to have a nose ring chained 

to an earring under that veil (surprise!) or to talk so funny around 

your tongue piercing that no one’s sure if you said: “In sickness and in 

health” or “Id tickbut ad id helf”?

Carolina. Readers may contact her - and order her new children’s 

book! - by visiting her website at www.vickiwentz.com.

Today’s Fashion 

By: Adrea Nairne-Barrera / 60s to 60 

The other day I was in a restaurant when I 

noticed how everyone was dressed. When 

you’re sitting in a bar area, you see all. 

Nobody looks fresh! There is no such thing anymore and I am 

longing for the fashion police to turn the tables on us and make men 

shave, get the crap out of their hair, and look like men again. 

As for the women, I guess they save money because those old, torn 

jeans are the rage. Attach some rhinestones, add a little lace and you’re 

today’s fashion statement. 

Just look at the ads in Town & Country to see tattered jeans with a 

$3,000 handbag. I think it also has something to do with where the 

rips and tears are to determine if the jeans are old or cost another $800. 

Tattoos, once reserved for bad boys are a badge of honor for some. 

The more you have, the more your status goes up. Women are on the 

list too. 

I understand a permanent mark to remember something or someone, 

a lost love, a cause or symbol of your faith. I don’t understand skulls 

and all the weapons art burned into someone’s skin forever. 

And the unshaven look for men has gone just a little over the top in 

my opinion. It’s one thing to grow a beard and keep it trimmed in an 

orderly fashion. It’s quite another to look like you just woke up from a 

3-day drunk. 

I think of myself as progressive and am constantly aware that each 

generation has its own fashion statement and stamp of authenticity. 

After all, miniskirts, 

teased hair, clog 

shoes and Cleopatra 

eyes were my look 

at one time. I can 

only imagine what 

everyone thought of 

us back then. 

Looking at the 

old photos, we really 

did look ridiculous. 

I even have one of 

me with giant hair, 

false eyelashes and 

a stupid bow right 

in the middle of that 

hair. 

I must have 

thought I was foxy 

enough to have my 

picture taken. There 

I was with a smug 

little smile looking all sassy. 

What I find amusing is that as fashions change, so does my perception 

of them. I was so influenced by magazines that I never developed my 

own style. Aside from parting my hair on the left for my whole life, 

everything else was according to the look of the time. 

Now I guess I should get my old clothes, slightly shred them, attach a 

bunch of junk and get with the program. I can’t change the part in my 

hair because it’s the only way I remember right from left. 

Adrea Nairne-Barrera writes of celebrations, observations & 

complaints of life in the 60s to being in your 60s.

Hale Returns to Make Music 

By: Sam Wagmeister / People & Places 

It could be said that Steve Wynn was still “wet 

behind the ears” with his 5% minority stake 

in the Frontier in 1970 when teenager Renee Hale 

headlined the casino’s lounge. Although Wynn crashed decades later, 

good fortune lay before each. 

For Hale, she followed an enriching path that fate prescribed for her 

despite veering her away from those beloved footlights. She maintained 

her “chops” with song-or-two guest appearances at local venues, all the 

time responding to opportunities that destiny provided, building several 

successful hospitality, convention and entertainment-based businesses. 

She now returns to star in her own show at the Italian American Club 

on October 14. 

Hale’s career, unbeknownst to her, began as a pre-teen in Dick Blake’s 

dance studio. Television commercial work in her Cleveland hometown 

led to an offer from bandleader Ray Anthony (famous for Bunny Hop, 

Hokey Pokey and the theme to Dragnet) to join him onstage in Las 

Vegas as a member of his backup singers, The Bookends. “I packed a 

car like The Beverly Hillbillies,” Hale says, and headed west. 

During those Golden Vegas Years, Hale became a familiar face in the 

legendary Vegas lounges, supper clubs and showrooms including Bally’s, 

Desert Inn and Sands. Destiny intervened when Rossi Ralenkotter, 

former CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Bureau and often 

credited for helping establish Las Vegas as a convention juggernaut, 

enlisted Hale and her band to take to the road, representing the town to 

travel agents and convention planners. 

Renee Hale, then & now 

“You can start booking rooms and conventions,” Ralenkotter 

explained. Those cross-the-country tours spawned Hale’s enormously 

successful event planning business, Creative Concepts. The company 

provides a full array of services including travel, hotels, entertainment

Beauty Show was Beautiful! 

By: Linda Bateman-Gomez / Timeless Beauty 

One of the best things about working in the 

beauty industry is attending the beauty 

shows for a hands-on experience of the latest and 

greatest products. This year’s CosmoProf was no exception! 

Starting with face masks, there was something for everyone. Peel 

off, magnetic, pore-shrinking, anti-aging, they had it all! Some of my 

favorites were by a company called 7th Heaven. They have a huge 

selection of peel off masks that I love, especially one called the Passion 

Peel. Their line is carried online at my7thheaven.com, as well as 

Walmart. 

For feet, hands and body care, I found a great company called TS 

Cosmetic Lab! They have many different fun scents and products, but 

my favorite was the lavender sugar scrub and massage cream. For their 

full line and locations, check out TSCosmetic.com. 

And of course, since I love lip products, there’s a Canadian company 

called Ton Cosmetics. It was started by two sisters and they offer very 

reasonable shipping fees for their lipsticks. 

What’s fun and different about these is that you take a short test online 

to determine the best color match for you. Once that’s determined, 

you can choose from various colors for your skin tone. Their site is 

toncosmetics.com. 

For a special skin care line, I met a wonderful dermatologist named 

Dr. Rogers that developed her own products after failing to find 

anything on the market that met all of her requirements. Her line 

9629_NVHL_VegasVoiceAd.pdf 1 9/13/18 12:10 PM 

has been recognized in major magazines and her healing balm is 

getting great results! To learn more about her and the products, visit 

doctorrogers.com. 

Finally, hair! I watched a demo under a microscope of a hair strand 

treated with a product called Nano DryFix and it certainly impressed 

me! I have since been using the shampoo, leave-in conditioner, and 

hair mask treatment. 

As many of you know, I tend to be a drug store shopper and while this 

line is more expensive than my usual go-to products, a little goes a long 

way and if I was going to just purchase one of these products, it would 

be the leave-in conditioner called DryFix Micro Therapy Treatment. To 

learn more about their products, visit researchinbeauty.com.

J.D. Power and Associates: 

What Are These Awards? 

By: BJ Killeen / Down the Road 

You see the name in advertising, hear about 

the studies on TV commercials, and might 

even have filled out a long survey for this company when you bought 

your last new car. Who the heck is J.D. Power and Associates, and do all 

these awards really mean anything? 

J.D. Power is a global marketing firm that focuses on rating customer 

experiences with everything from automobiles to healthcare. It gets its 

information via surveys filled out by those who have purchased goods or 

services, and then rates the products based on those experiences. 

While J.D. Power and Associates covers many different industries, 

let’s just talk about what it does for the automotive spectrum. Contrary 

to popular belief, J.D. Power does not allow companies to “buy” 

awards. It makes its money by selling the results of the surveys to the 

manufacturers, which in turn helps the companies improve. 

Three of the biggest J.D. Power awards are IQS, or Initial Quality 

Study, Vehicle Dependability Study (VDS), and APEAL (Automotive 

Performance, Execution, and Layout). The IQS measures the first 90 

days of vehicle ownership and uses it as a prediction for long-term 

durability. It focuses on over 230 problems, organized into eight 

categories, such as exterior, driving experience, and infotainment. 

The Dependability Study contacts owners of three-year-old vehicles, 

and again focuses on specific vehicle features and if they are experiencing 

any problems. For the APEAL Study, the goal is to examine how newvehicle 

owners feel about the design, content, layout, and performance 

of their vehicle after 60 days, and it covers 10 specific categories. 

While it’s true that for IQS and APEAL the owners are still in the 

honeymoon phase with their vehicles, you might want to give more 

weight to the Dependability study. Although all three should give you a 

good idea of the quality and features for each product, it is still up to you 

to do your homework to see which vehicle is right for you.

Insurance Telematics 

By: Jim Valkenburg / Insurance Insight 

You’ve probably all seen Progressive’s 

commercial with “Flo” showing something 

called a Snapshot device to put in your car which 

might save you premium dollars. That device – 

a telematics device is also called a car insurance tracker, safe driving 

app or car insurance monitoring device by other companies. 

You install it in your vehicle so it can track different aspects of your 

driving habits which, in turn, may (or may not) lower your premiums. 

There are several factors companies track but four of the major ones 

are: (1) time of day you drive, (2) weekly, monthly or annual miles, (3) 

quick acceleration and (4) hard braking. When I owned my agency, we 

did not encourage clients who worked the graveyard shift to accept 

these devices because they often drove between, say, 11:00 pm - 4:00 

am. I also discouraged anyone driving 12-15,000 miles/year or more. 

Several insurance companies are offering their insured a chance to 

save valuable premium dollars with telematics. How does it work? 

Well, you often get a discount immediately on your new policy when 

you agree to use the device. After a period of time (typically 90 days 

– 6 months), your insurance company analyzes the data based on 

their parameters of your driving habits and, hopefully, receive another 

discount. 

There are several benefits of using a telematics device. First, you most 

likely become a safer driver. Just knowing your habits are being tracked 

can make you more aware. You probably adjust your quick acceleration 

and hard stops and that can also lead to better fuel economy. 

One of the biggest downsides to telematics is privacy concerns. 

Consumers want to know what is being tracked and who has access 

to it. Consumers also feel that at some point the data may be used to 

increase their premium. 

If your company offers you the opportunity to save money on your 

auto insurance, be sure to do your own analysis.

Saying Goodbye 

By: Beverly Washburn / Hollywood Memories 

To all my loyal readers (and I thank you) and 

to those who are new to my column, you 

know that I write about my memories of growing 

up in Hollywood, being a child actress and my experiences of working 

on various movies/TV shows with various actors. 

This month I’d like to write about a different experience. Please 

indulge me as I share this story. 

I’m sure you are aware that I am an animal lover and have had pets 

my whole life. Along with having pets, there sadly comes the time when 

they get old or sick and have to be euthanized. 

For those who have pets, I know you will agree that they are part of 

our “family.” Saying goodbye to them is devastating. 

Sadly, I had to put my little rescue “Reggie” down. He was a little 

mixed Terrier who had seizures his whole life and was quite the 

character. I actually think he had a sense of humor. 

He lived to be 17 (for which I’m very grateful) but in the end, he 

could no longer walk and was starting to fail. I knew the time was 

drawing near for him to go to the Rainbow Bridge, but it’s never easy 

to make that decision. 

Knowing that the drive there, and what you are about to do, and 

then, the long drive home with them no longer beside you has always 

been a heart wrenching moment. 

I go to a wonderful Veterinarian Hospital called “Legacy” and I love 

my wonderful vet, Dr. Terry Muratore. Dr. M. has always treated my 

pets with love and kindness and 

has kept them healthy for a 

very long time. 

What I didn’t know is that 

Dr. M. has another wonderful 

vet named Dr. Toby Goldman. 

Dr. Goldman performs 

animal hospice and “in home 

euthanasia.” 

I decided to do that for my 

Reggie, and I realize that there 

are many people who aren’t 

aware of that service. 

Photo Credit: Courtesy of Linda Q 

Photography 

I now know that it is the ONLY way to do it. Yes, it’s still hard, but it 

was so peaceful. 

I had candles burning, soft music playing, and Reggie was in his 

own bed, in his own surroundings with his “brothers” and “sister” and 

his “mom” right beside him. There were no bright lights, other dogs 

barking or strangers here. 

It was most peaceful and comforting and was as if he just drifted off 

to sleep. Dr. Toby (as he goes by) was kind and caring. He explained 

everything to me and I felt a warmth that exuded from him. 

For those who have pets, I pray it will be a long time before you have 

to make that decision. But when you do, I truly hope you will contact 

Dr. Toby. He has a heart full of love and compassion. 

Although, of course, I cried my eyes out, I can say that it was the most 

comforting, kindest, and gentlest way that I’ve had to say good-bye 

to one of my little furry ones. Dr. Toby can be reached at: TheLapofLove. 

com or at 702/703-9590. 

Rest in peace my little Reggie. You will forever be in my heart. 

Until next time, remember to always cherish the everyday moments.

2019 Legislation - Lobby Time Again 

By: Rana Goodman / On My Soapbox 

It looks like I will be heading to Carson City 

this year wearing running shoes rather 

than high heels and I’m not thinking of my 

knee injury. Looking at the list of “must tackle issues” this upcoming 

session, publisher Dan and I will be earning every dime we DON’T 

make as non-paid lobbyist concerning readers’ issues. 

Below are our initial items. You agree? 

Nanny Cams: We heard so many heart-breaking family stories 

during our guardianship presentations about the mistreatment of 

seniors in nursing homes and other facilities. With heart-breaking 

photographs concerning “accidents” we talked to some legislators 

about the installation of a “nanny-cam.” 

Although privacy seemed to be a concern, we believe that if consent 

is given by the family of the person occupying the room, for the safety 

of their loved one, that should suffice. 

Supported Decision Making: This system is already being used 

in several states and, simply put, a person with early on-set dementia 

can opt for someone they trust to be named as their “Supported 

Decision Maker.” 

This is a person who can assist them is writing checks, paying bills, 

purchasing any large items, making any big decision for which they 

might need help but don’t need to have a guardian or be removed 

from their home. It is meant to be a less restrictive way to help an aging 

senior without taking away any of their rights, as guardianship 

does. 

Death with Dignity: This is the topic that The Vegas Voice surveyed 

our readers over the last few months. As many of you may know, this 

is a very emotional issue with me and something I feel strongly about. 

Dan thought we would get blasted out of the water for supporting 

such a bill, however, with thanks to all who took the time to respond; the 

favorable responses were over 97%. Suffice to say, we will be backing 

this bill. 

Property Taxes: In the last legislature SJR 14 passed with all 

Democrats and no Republicans supporting it. If this becomes law, it 

would remove the 3% and 8% property cap we have now on our homes. 

As seniors, I’m sure you will agree we must keep the cap as it is. 

SJR 14 must pass again in 2019, then go to a vote of the people in 

2020. We will be working closely with our former columnist Knight 

Allen on this issue. Knight is our eyes and ears (and expert) in these 

matters and we will rely on Knight for his tremendous assistance.

Homeowners Associations 

By: Judy Polumbaum / Our View 

Something like half of Las Vegas 

Valley residents live in what Nevada 

endearingly calls “common-interest 

communities.” Known to most as homeowners’ associations, or 

unit-owners’ associations, or condominium associations. Whose 

residents may or may not have much in common, other than 

living in the same neighborhood or building with obligations to 

pay for certain shared costs. 

As of mid-2018, 3,258 such associations were recorded 

statewide, accounting for a total of 541,939 units. Beyond costs 

of annual registration and other assorted fees, each of these 

associations pays state government $4.25 per unit per year. 

That’s more than $2.3 million going into state coffers for the 

current year. With nearly two-thirds of the state’s population 

concentrated in Clark County, that’s where the biggest chunk 

comes from. 

Presumably, the money comes back to unit owners and dwellers 

in the form of state services. Ironic, because the way many of us 

live originated from a movement to privatize public services. 

Still, the state purportedly cares about us, through the Common- 

Interest Communities (CIC) Program of the Real Estate Division 

of the Nevada Department of Business and Industry. 

Among other things, the CIC Program has an office that fields 

complaints about homeowner association boards and managers. 

This office, headed by a congenial college football hall of famer, 

received 246 complaints during the first half of this year. 

Some fade away, get resolved, or go to mediation, others go 

before an appointed commission, and a few may end up in court. 

Details of nearly all complaints remain confidential, although 

occasionally commission hearings lead to public disciplinary 

actions. 

You can guess what these cases are about: Nepotism, 

mishandling of money, incompetence, and the like. 

We have begun to look further into this system, and would be 

glad to hear about any experiences, good or bad, that you may 

have with the CIC Program. Meanwhile, even as you anticipate 

important votes to select civic representatives this November, 

you might want to pay attention when elections for pseudogovernmental 

positions roll around as well. 

It seems several types of people run for HOA executive boards. 

Let’s hope most are altruistic folks who truly care about keeping 

their neighborhoods happy, healthy, and honest. 

Some (you know the type) seek more of a sense of control over 

community decisions and resources. What boards don’t need are 

members who direct business to their friends and relatives.

Democrats in Action 

By: Howard Beckerman /Nevada Democrats 

It’s time to put NEVADA FIRST! 

Early voting is only days away. Every one of 

us has the opportunity to make our voices heard 

in this election. 

You can multiply your voice by reminding all your friends and 

neighbors to vote. When we get out and vote Nevada wins! 

Steve Sisolak for Governor: Steve pledges to become the “Education 

Governor.” His opponent wants to gut the funding that goes to our 

schools. Steve’s opponent only moved to Nevada seven years ago, while 

Steve has dedicated his career in helping Nevada’s citizens. 

Jacky Rosen for Senate, Susie Lee for Congressional 3, Steve Horsford 

for Congressional 4: We need these 3 to go and fight in Washington for 

the interests of Nevada, and especially our seniors. 

Their opponents want to gut Medicare and Social Security. Their 

opponents also want to give additional tax breaks to big corporations. 

Jacky, Susie, and Steve have pledged to put seniors first by fighting for 

lower prescription drug prices for all Americans so that you don’t have 

to go to Canada or Mexico where the prices are lower. 

State Senate: Anthem - Julie Pazina; Sienna - Melanie Scheible. After 

the ugly recalls we need people who will move our state forward instead 

of wasting taxpayer money. 

State Assembly: Anthem - Kristee Watson; Summerlin - Shea Backus. 

These two candidates have pledged to do everything they can to protect 

senior citizens. 

Judges: Most people do not follow the Judicial races and many people 

email me at the last minute asking who to vote for. The Judges who 

stand out for their allegiance to the rule of law are Judge Elissa Cadish 

for Nevada Supreme Court and Judge Mark Bailus for District Court. 

Both of these judges deserve bi-partisan support for the experience, 

fairness, and knowledge of the law. 

An important, yet unheralded position is for State Treasurer: 

Catherine Byrne will be our best “watchdog” over Nevada’s finances. 

Don’t forget to also cast your vote “down ballot” for Lynn Goya for 

County Clerk, Rob Telles for Public Administrator and Briana Johnson 

for Assessor. 

Howard Beckerman serves on the Nevada State Democratic Central 

Committee, the Clark County Central Committee, and is Vice President 

of the Red Rock Democratic Club. He has been active in the political 

scene for over 40 years. 


The Stakes Couldn’t Be Higher 

By: Victoria Seaman / Victoria’s Corner 

On, Wednesday, November 7th we will wake 

up to one of two futures. Which one will 

depend on the choices we make. 

Will it be a bright future with the Republicans keeping control of 

both the House and Senate and keeping President Trump’s America 

First Agenda rolling forward - an agenda that has seen record setting 

economic activity at home; record low unemployment; historic foreign 

policy successes in North Korea, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the 

appointment of strong constitutional judges to all levels of the court? 

Or will it be a future where the Democrats take control of Congress 

and slam the brakes on this economy by shutting down everything 

President Trump tries to accomplish? 

The choice is ours. 

If we stay home and don’t vote, they win and the country loses. But 

if we turn out and vote for Dean Heller and the Republican candidates 

for Congress, the country wins and we will continue keeping America 

great. 

That same morning, there will also be two possible futures for 

Nevada. 

Steve Sisolak’s Nevada, which will follow California’s path to 

destruction - higher taxes, bigger government, sanctuary cities, gun 

control, failing schools, and extreme social and environmental policies. 

Or Adam Laxalt’s future for Nevada - one of low taxes, limited 

government, school choice and the freedoms and liberties we cherish 

in Nevada. 

Once again, the choice is ours. Staying home and not voting for 

Republicans at the State and local levels and the future will ensure a 

Steve Sisolak Nevada. 

That’s why I am asking all my fellow Republicans to not just simply 

show up and vote, but to take your friends and family with you. Talk 

to your neighbors about what’s at stake. Spend a few hours a week 

volunteering for the Republican ticket. Write a check if you can, to help 

push our team across the finish line. 

I have no doubt if we all work hard together, the future we wake up 

to November 7th will most certainly be bright.

Who Said It? 

By: Dan Hyde / Call to Action 

“ 

Political parties serve to organize faction, 

to give it an artificial and extraordinary 

force; to put, in the place of the delegated 

will of the nation the will of a party, often a small but artful 

and enterprising minority of the community resulting in illconcerted 

and incongruous projects…they are likely to become 

potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled 

men (and women) will be 

enabled to subvert the 

power of the people and to 

usurp for themselves the

Chowtime 

By: Chuck Dean / Vet 2 Vet 

There’s an old saying that an army travels 

on its stomach; which really means, that 

second only to ammunition, food and water are 

the two most vital commodities for a military unit. With Thanksgiving 

just around the corner, here’s some military chowtime history: 

The first U.S. soldier ration (during the Revolutionary War) consisted 

of enough food to feed a man for one day. It was mostly beef, peas, 

and rice. During the Civil War, the military moved toward canned 

goods. Later, self-contained kits were issued as a whole ration and 

contained canned meat, bread, coffee, sugar and salt. 

During the First World War, canned meats were replaced with 

lightweight preserved meats (salted or dried) to allow more rations to 

be carried by foot soldiers. During World War II, a number of new field 

rations were introduced. 

The K-ration then became popular. It was an individual daily combat 

food ration originally for mobile forces. 

As it was based on an emergency ration, the K-ration provided 

roughly 800–1,200 calories fewer than was required by highly active 

men. Malnutrition became evident with so few calories. 

Cost-cutting measures by Quartermaster Command officials during 

the latter part of World War II and the Korean War again saw the 

predominance of heavy canned C rations issued to troops, regardless of 

operating environment or mission. 

Introduced in 1938 (and refined 

in 1940, 1943/1944 and 1945), 

it was significantly heavier, with 

less variety in meals, but most 

importantly had more calories. 

C-Rations were individually 

canned, pre-cooked, wet rations. 

They were intended to be issued to 

U.S. military land forces when fresh food A-rations (food prepared in 

mess halls or field kitchens) was not possible, or not available. 

The C-Ration was replaced in 1958 with the Meal Combat Individual 

(MCI). Although officially a new ration, the MCI was derived from, 

and very similar to the original C-Ration, and continued to be called 

“C-Rations” by American troops throughout its production life (1958– 

1980). 

Today the Meal, Ready-to-Eat; commonly known as the MRE is a 

self-contained, individual field ration in lightweight packaging for 

service members to use in combat or other field conditions. 

Can you remember what C-Ration unit you had on Thanksgiving in 

a war zone?

through that experience was led to address the many transitional

LOCAL CLINIC HELPS MEN OF ALL AGES 

LAS VEGAS DOCTORS 

TREAT ERECTILE 

DYSFUNCTION 

LAS VEGAS- A local group of physicians 

in Las Vegas specialize in only one unique, 

niche area – men’s sexual performance, 

treating men for ED. These local doctors 

offer the latest in state-of-the-art European 

technology for in-office treatment of erectile 

dysfunction without the use of medication, 

surgery or injections. 

The Swiss Wave Protocol is a medical 

breakthrough using painless acoustic energy 

waves to improve a man’s sexual performance 

and produce an erection. This protocol 

eliminates the need for medications 

by regenerating blood vessels and erectile 

tissue. Swiss Wave can treat almost any man 

– regardless of his age or medical history, 

including men well into their nineties with 

diabetes, heart conditions, prostate cancer 

and high blood pressure. 

Developed in Switzerland, the medical device 

used in this extremely effective approach 

has been cleared by the FDA for the repair 

of soft tissue and improved blood circulation 

and is being used throughout the world. 

Patients see a state licensed physician. 

Safe / Effective ED treatment 

No pills • No needles, 

No side effects 

Signed statements are kept on file. At patient’s request, 

only first names and initials are used. Appointments are 

scheduled in advance, but occasionally someone can 

be accommodated quickly. Patients are assured of the 

upmost privacy and professionalism with private waiting 

rooms and an all-professional staff. 

PATIENT TESTIMONIALS: 

“I’m 79 years old and visiting your clinic was the best choice 

I’ve ever made! I only wish I had known about it years ago. I 

never expected such fast results.” Jack B. 

“Its been eleven years since I was able to get and maintain 

an erection. No pill or pump ever worked for me. Your treatment 

worked on the first visit!” Larry K.

Impoverished by Medicaid 

By: Jerry Creed / Trust Jerry 

A brother and sister came to my office. Their 

mom had passed years earlier and dad, dying from 

Parkinson’s disease, was entering hospice. He had 

been in a skilled nursing facility for the last ten years. 

The two kids had worked extra jobs to keep dad’s house, hoping for him 

to return home one day. Worst case the kids figured, when dad died they 

could recover their funds by selling the house. 

Unfortunately Medicaid has changed and went from being a benefit to 

a loan. Every dollar spent by Medicaid on you is tracked and when you 

die, Medicaid expects to be paid back from your Estate. 

In addition, the rules to qualify for Medicaid changed so that instead 

of 200,000 people on Medicaid in Nevada, we now have over 600,000. 

In effect, while reducing the Estate Tax, they created a huge hidden tax, 

without politicians calling it a tax, simply a “recovery” so more people 

can benefit from the program. 

I had to explain to the brother and sister that Medicaid was no longer 

a benefit, but a loan. In their case, dad was in a skilled nursing facility - 

$8,000 a month (average cost in Nevada), 12 months a year, $96,000 for 

10 years or $960,000. 

End result, dad’s home was sold to pay Medicaid back. The kids got no 

inheritance and had lost years of work. 

It should surprise no one that when the Federal Government raised the 

Federal Estate Tax threshold to 11.2 million dollars appearing to reduce 

their supply of our money, Congress had already found a new source of 

funds by stealing the life savings of our seniors. The method for capturing 

these funds - changing Medicaid. 

While most people can afford the cost of assisted living for a spouse, 

few people can afford the $8,000 monthly cost of a skilled nursing facility. 

In order to qualify for Medicaid assistance, a single person is allowed to 

keep $2,000 in assets, and if both spouses need assistance the amount 

increases to $3,000. 

If you can’t pay the $8,000 a month, you’ll be forced to reduce your 

life savings to impoverishment levels and have no safety net in order to 

receive Medicaid’s help. There is a better way. 

Contacting an Elder law attorney and planning for Medicaid as part of 

your estate plan now can save financial and emotional heartache for you 

and your family. Failing to plan is planning to fail. 

I urge you to not let this happen to you and your family. Protect yourself 

and find an elder law attorney to speak with today.

Zumba Training 

By: Mary Richard / Health Fitness 

survived a full week of Zumba trainings and 

I workshops in Orlando during the end of July. 

How in the world did I keep my energy up? 

Although this was my 11th year attending the week long convention, 

as I get older, my thoughts turn to how to keep my energy level going 

and to “recharge my batteries.” 

I have followed this solution - a great breakfast with black coffee, 

protein, fruit and carbs. Yes, carbs! Those who eliminate carbs from 

your diet are doing yourself a harmful dis-service. You really need carbs 

as a “building block” to your system. 

The breakfast kept me going throughout the mornings and then 

a sandwich and/or salad at lunch. A full dinner with meat or fish, 

vegetables and more carbs. In between, snacks included fruit or protein 

bars. And yes, lots of WATER! 

I found my energy level persisted throughout the week, even though 

I was burning several hundreds and thousands of calories. I also admit 

that I did indulge in an alcoholic beverage once in a while! After all, I 

burned off the calories, so I deserved a “treat!” 

I did notice certain instructors’ energy levels diminish toward the 

end of the week, but they had not learned to pace themselves and 

especially eat nutritionally. 

Getting plenty of sleep also helps. Lack of sleep contributes to weight 

gain. Also try not to eat too late in the evening. You need to give your 

digestive system enough time to use up those calories before sleeping. 

I found myself eating too late in the evening while I was at another 

job. Coming home hungry, I was tempted to grab something “quick.” 

I now take the time to eat something earlier in the day to suppress the 

hunger that I experienced at night. Drinking a hot cup of chamomile 

tea helped to make me sleepy, as well as fill me up before bedtime. 

POSITIVE ATTITUDE AND HAPPY HEALTH TO ALL!

When What You Don’t Know Can 

Hurt You - Part II 

By: Kyo Mitchell / A Healthier You 

plant needs a certain environment to be 

A healthy. Given that healthy environment, 

it prospers and blossoms. Put that same plant in an unhealthy 

environment and it will wither and eventually die. 

The cells of your body behave in the same way. Their environment, 

known as the extracellular matrix (ECM), has an electrical potential 

that must stay within certain parameters to keep your cells healthy. 

In medical issues such as acute inflammation, the electrical potential 

is too high and must be decreased to help reduce the inflammation. If 

you were to increase the electrical potential instead, you can exacerbate 

the inflammation. 

In chronic degenerative conditions where cells are working less 

efficiently, the electrical potential of the ECM has been decreased. Here it 

must be increased to help the cells function efficiently and effectively. If 

you were to decreases the electrical potential in this case, you can make 

the patient worse, because now, you have made the affected cells work 

even less efficiently. 

What you have just read is some of the biophysics of how acupuncture 

works. 

Research has demonstrated that any time you insert a needle through 

the skin, you create a depolarization event in the ECM and affect its 

electrical potential throughout the body. Students trained in acupuncture 

go through years of training to make sure they can properly diagnose 

the state of the ECM and then treat it. 

Physical therapists doing dry needling, a technique similar to 

acupuncture, have no minimal requirement for training. The issue of 

the electrical potential is never even addressed. 

The issue was addressed to the Nevada State Physical Therapy Board 

in July and a book on the medical research supporting this was supplied. 

The Board was asked to have an expert review the information as a 

means to help keep the public safe. 

A member of the committee informed me that they are continuing to 

push through legislature for physical therapists to do dry needling with 

no minimal standard for training. Is it not their responsibility to make 

sure that medically they are doing no harm?

Comprehensive Care 

By: James J. White, D.D.S. / Your Dentist 

have lost count of the number of times that 

I I heard a person speak about seeing their 

health care provider and that the doctor spent 

only three to five minutes with them. 

Indeed, most of us go to a physician only when something is 

bothering us. The medical visit was scheduled to address that concern. 

It is not a diagnostic visit, but rather a problem focused appointment. 

Dentistry, as most health care services, is just the same. A person often 

seeks care at a dental office only because there is a problem. 

The emergency is addressed until the next time. Dentists refer to this 

as piece-meal dentistry. It rarely solves the cause of the problems, but 

rather treats them symptomatically. 

Comprehensive care, on the other hand, is the solution to emergency 

dentistry and always results in comfort, function, aesthetics and longterm 

health and stability. Comprehensive care is how a dentist can 

preserve a patient’s teeth for a life time. 

When seeing a new patient (non-emergency), the dentist should 

complete a comprehensive oral physical - not a 3 minute “look 

see.” The review should include the jaw joints, muscles, functional 

movements, bite balance/imbalance, wear, cancer screen, gum health, 

chart current fillings, crowns, x-rays, sometimes models with facebow, 

review of health history and medicines and examine teeth for decays. 

The information from the comprehensive oral physical, along with 

x-rays and study models (if needed) will allow your dentist to address 

any and all 

problems that are 

discovered and 

to be able to tell 

you “why” and 

“how” to correct 

them. With 

information from 

a comprehensive 

oral physical, 

the dentist can 

present what 

the best care to 

solve a particular 

problem should 

be. 

We have a professional and moral obligation to tell the patient the 

best, not the quickest or cheapest, solution. Having said this, I also need 

to add that it is the patient’s responsibility to honestly communicate 

with their dental practitioner. 

If one cannot afford the finest treatment presented, tell your dentist 

and ask if there is an alternative, less-costly option. A compromise in 

treatment selection is not a sin. Just remember that if one is paying for 

a Honda, one cannot expect it to be equal to a Mercedes. 

Good dentistry is never expensive, but cheap dentistry will end up 

costing patients a fortune. 

Tired of wearing dentures that 

don’t stay in place, won’t chew food 

well or cause mouth sores from time to time? 

Make an investment in yourself! 

What would it be worth not to have dentures anymore? 

Eat and chew ANYTHING you want. Laugh out loud 

without the fear of your teeth falling. 

Corn on the cob? Stop remembering “when.” 

Get permanent teeth in one day. 

Today’s dentistry is amazing!

Is Your Medicare Still Working For You? 

When you turned 65, you, like many other Southern Nevada 

Seniors, signed up for Medicare. Odds are, you were one of 

the thousands who signed up for traditional Medicare, also known as 

Medicare Part A and B. 

“At 65, most Seniors are still active and relatively healthy,” notes 

Dr. Tracy J. Wakefield, President of P3 Medical Group. “They like the 

flexibility to see any provider that takes Medicare, which is really handy 

when retirees travel frequently. Medication costs are manageable and, 

in most cases, transportation is not an issue.” 

After 5-10 years, though, most Seniors’ needs will have changed. 

Chronic conditions like diabetes, heart and kidney disease and chronic 

obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) crop up, requiring more visits 

to specialists and more medications. Getting around town may also be 

more challenging. 

The good news is that Seniors can change their coverage during 

Medicare Open Enrollment each year. Beginning October 15, they can 

elect to continue in their traditional Medicare plan or make a switch to 

a Medicare Advantage plan. 

Depending on your situation, Medicare Advantage plans can offer 

all the benefits of traditional Medicare coverage along with better 

prescription coverage, dental and vision benefits and transportation 

assistance. In some cases, the monthly premiums and co-pays may 

also be lower. Some plans may have a higher monthly premium than 

traditional Medicare, however, participants save over the course of the 

year because of better coverage. 

“The best part of Medicare Advantage is the difference in care,” 

according to Wakefield. “Seniors 

who choose Medicare Advantage 

plans with P3 in their network are 

assessed at the beginning of the 

year. We put their doctor in charge of their care and surround them 

with a care team focused on helping them reach and maintain their 

wellness goals.” 

P3 Nevada, with more than 200 primary care providers and 800 

specialists, is the exclusive network for Hometown Health’s Senior Care 

Plus Medicare Advantage and Select Health Advantage plans. 

It’s important for anyone over 65 to assess how their needs have 

changed and update their Medicare coverage between October 15 and 

December 7. Seniors can learn more by contacting their Medicare 

Advantage broker, by calling P3 (702) 333-4700 or visiting P3NV.org.

October 7, 1849 

By: John Beilun / Time Traveler 

The day was dark and gloomy. At 4 pm a 

handful of people hovered over a coffin so 

cheap that it was no better than a box. 

The reverend in attendance decided that the meager crowd didn’t 

warrant a sermon. So, he simply crossed himself and said a brief prayer. 

Within three minutes the mourners had disbursed. 

Four days earlier the deceased was discovered lying on a wooden 

bench outside a saloon in Baltimore. He was disheveled and unwashed, 

attired in filthy clothing which were obviously not his own. 

No one knows how he came to be in such a state. Based on the 

lifestyle attributed to him by his detractors, it was assumed to be due to 

alcohol and opiate abuse. His symptoms however, were more akin to 

those exhibited in the final stages of rabies. 

The unfortunate gentleman in question was only 40 - but showed 

the wear and tear of a man much older. After being orphaned at two, 

a merchant took him in only to abuse the poor lad with merciless 

discipline. 

At eighteen the now young man enlisted in the U. S. Army. After only 

two years, he rose to the highest non-commissioned rank of Sergeant 

Major of Artillery. Although a superb horseman and skillful with a 

sword, the new cadet quickly grew weary of the Military Academy’s 

regimen. And by intentionally refusing to follow orders, forced a court 

martial. 

Choosing a new career in the habitually financially unrewarding 

field of literature, the disgraced former soldier settled in Baltimore. 

Writing not only poetry and short stories, but also critical essays and 

reviews, at the age of 22, Edgar Allen Poe had found his calling. 

For the next eighteen years, Poe wrote for scores of newspapers 

and magazines and excelled in such diverse genres as horror, science 

fiction, gothic, romance, crime, comedy and satire. More importantly, 

he inspired all subsequent writers and poets. 

To say that Poe was the Mozart of literature would not be a stretch. 

Sadly, like Amadeus, Edgar died a young, lonely and nearly bankrupt 

man, also under mysterious circumstances. 

October 7, 1849, the day Edgar Allen Poe passed away, is indeed a sad 

moment in history. The “The Bells” would forever be silent. “The Tell- 

Tale Heart” would never beat again. 

Simply put – to quote “The Raven:” “Nevermore!”

Ask A Master Gardener 

By: Howard Galin / Happy Gardening 

October is one of the busiest months for 

the Las Vegas gardener. The temperature 

is getting milder and we can spend more time 

outdoors without “melting away.” 

I divide this month’s chores into two categories: Checking out the 

landscape and then repairing and improving. 

During early October, I suggest checking out the status of your 

landscape and equipment. Now is the time to replace dead and damaged 

plants and modify and repair your drip systems. The nurseries and 

home centers will have fresh supplies of trees, bushes and plants ready 

for you to plant (and in some cases, provide a feast for the rabbits!). 

During this time, visually check out the drip systems “and repair 

and expand” where needed because as your landscaping grows, the 

irrigation needs to grow too! Be ready to add and/or reposition your 

drips! 

As we progress into the last weeks of October and the leaves on our 

deciduous trees and bushes are falling, we can begin the annual fall 

cleanup. With diminishing temperature and daylight, it is also time to 

begin your heavy pruning. 

We wait for this time so that any pruning will not stimulate new 

growth that may be damaged by an early frost. Palm trees should be 

pruned first since we want the remaining fronds to acclimate to the 

cooler temperatures. 

Roses should be pruned by removing at least half of the existing 

stems and branches. This will stimulate greater growth in the Spring. 

Do not prune fruit trees until they go dormant later in the season. 

All additional plants (including cactus) could be pruned and shaped 

as well. 

As for Yucca and Agave - remove dead areas. Also, treat the soil 

around any Agave plants with a systemic insecticide as well. During the 

summer, the Agave weevil has laid eggs under the soil and these eggs 

will hatch during the cooler months and the larvae will eat the roots of 

these plant and kill these expensive plants! 

Once we have completed these tasks we can relax - until next month!

Resuscitation 

By: Heather Latimer / Helpful Hints 

If you gave a Do Not Resuscitate statement 

to your hospital, and included it in your will, 

you may believe that situation is covered. Yet EMS 

personnel responding to a 911 call to your home 

have no access to those documents. If your condition warrants it, they 

will promptly commence chest compressions and other life-sustaining 

procedures. 

To counteract that happening, caregiver Kay Mosley told me that a 

Do Not Resuscitate Certificate is available that’s designed to be instantly 

recognizable by EMS personnel. It’s easily obtainable and you can post 

it in a highly visible spot where you live. 

Here’s how: 

1. Enter “Do Not Resuscitate” in your browser. Scroll down to 

Southern Nevada Health District bearing the Nevada seal. You’ll find an 

application form to print. Or request a “DNR Application” by telephone 

– 702/759-1050. 

2. The simple one-page form requires: (a) your name, address, 

gender, birthdate, (b) either your signature or of your agent, (the 

person with your power of attorney if you have one), (c) Taking the 

completed form to your doctor for signature, (d) Mailing the form with 

$5 check payable to Division of Public and Behavioral Health. 

Most people place the certificate over their bed. However, the wording 

on the certificate advises that if EMS personnel do not see the certificate, 

or you’re unable to produce the wallet-card, they’ll immediately apply 

standard resuscitation procedures.

Happy Adventures 

By: Stu Cooper / Happy Adventures 

When I started the Vegas Voyagers, I tried to 

come up with a tag line for these monthly 

articles. As much as I thought about this, the best 

I could come up with to end my article was Happy Destinations. And I 

have used this tag line for over 15 years. 

I started to think about these two words. I suppose it’s not a bad 

sentiment. But what does it mean? 

Short answer; I don’t know. The word HAPPY is easy enough. I do 

want everybody to be happy. Happy is a good thing. 

But the word DESTINATIONS? I guess what I was trying to say in 

those two words is that I want all Vegas Voyagers to be happy when they 

go; when they travel - wherever that journey may take you. 

HAPPY DESTINATIONS! However, I started thinking, is there a better 

tag line I can use? 

And while I was thinking about this new tag line possibility Arizona 

Senator John McCain passed away. What does his passing have to do 

with a new tag line for my monthly articles? 

To say the least, Senator McCain lived a very interesting, adventurous 

full life. The many retrospectives on his life made that very clear. 

In reviewing his own life’s experience, Senator McCain explained, 

“I’ve had an adventure-fill full life. I wouldn’t change a thing.” His 

words left me with the impression that, in spite of some very tough 

times, he loved everything about the life he lived and the adventures 

he had. 

With this in mind, I thought that all of us who are in our senior 

years, if at all 

possible, should 

continue to seek 

out adventure. It 

might be “soft” 

adventure, but 

seek out adventure 

nonetheless. 

And that’s what 

we’re are all about. 

Offering Vegas 

Voice readers the 

opportunity to 

participate in new 

adventures. To go 

Senator John McCain 

to new places, you 

many never have 

visited. To travel with like-minded people and to continue to explore 

for as long as you can. 

While the tag line HAPPY DESTINATOIONS has served me well, and 

I will miss it, the better sentiment going forward 

is HAPPY ADVENTURES. Continue 

to explore, continue to experience 

and most of all, I hope for all of 

you, continue to be happy. 

HAPPY ADVENTURES to all.

New Device Stops a Cold Before it Starts 

By: Doug Cornell / To Your Health 

New research shows you can 

stop a cold in its tracks if you 

take one simple step with a new device when you 

first feel a cold coming on. 

Colds start when cold viruses get in your nose. 

Viruses multiply fast. If you don’t stop them early, 

they spread in your airways and cause misery. 

But scientists have found a 

quick way to kill a virus. Touch it 

with copper. Researchers at labs 

and universities agree, copper is 

“antimicrobial.” It kills microbes, 

such as viruses and bacteria, just 

by touch. 

That’s why ancient Greeks and 

Egyptians used copper to purify 

water and heal wounds. They 

didn’t know about viruses and 

bacteria, but now we do. 

Scientists say the high conductance of copper 

disrupts the electrical balance in a microbe cell 

and destroys the cell in seconds. 

Tests by the Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA) show germs die fast on copper. So some 

hospitals tried copper for touch surfaces like faucets 

and doorknobs. This cut the spread of MRSA 

and other illnesses by over half, and saved lives. 

The strong scientific evidence gave inventor 

Doug Cornell an idea. When he felt a cold coming 

on he fashioned a smooth copper probe and 

rubbed it gently in his nose for 60 seconds. 

“It worked!” he exclaimed. “The cold went 

away completely.” It worked again every time he 

felt a cold coming on and he hasn’t had a cold 

since. 

He asked relatives and friends to try it. They 

said it worked for them, too, so he patented CopperZap 

and put it on the market. 

Soon hundreds of people had tried it and given 

feedback. Nearly 100% said the copper stops 

colds if used within 3 hours after the first sign. 

Even up to 2 days, if they still get the cold it is 

milder than usual and they feel better. 

Users wrote things like, “It stopped my cold 

right away,” and “Is it supposed to work that fast?” 

“What a wonderful thing,” wrote Physician’s 

Assistant Julie. “No more colds for me!” 

Pat McAllister, age 70, received one for Christmas 

and called it “one of the best presents ever. 

This little jewel really works.” Now thousands of 

(paid advertisement) 

users have simply stopped getting colds. 

People often use CopperZap preventively. 

Frequent flier Karen Gauci used to get colds after 

crowded flights. Though skeptical, she tried it 

several times a day on travel days for 2 months. 

“Sixteen flights and not a sniffle!” she exclaimed. 

Businesswoman Rosaleen says when people 

are sick around her she uses CopperZap morning 

New research: Copper stops colds if used early. 

and night. “It saved me last holidays,” she said. 

“The kids had colds going round and round, but 

not me.” 

Some users say it also helps with sinuses. Attorney 

Donna Blight had a 2-day sinus headache. 

When her CopperZap arrived, she tried it. “I am 

shocked!” she said. “My head cleared, no more 

headache, no more congestion.” 

Some users say copper stops nighttime stuffiness 

if used just before bed. One man said, “Best 

sleep I’ve had in years.” 

Copper may even stop flu if used early and for 

several days. Lab technicians placed 25 million 

live flu viruses on a CopperZap. No viruses were 

found alive soon after. 

Copper even kills deadly germs that have become 

resistant to antibiotics. If you are near sick 

people, a moment of handling it may keep serious 

infection away from you and your loved ones. It 

may even save a life. 

The EPA says copper still works even when 

tarnished. It kills hundreds of different disease 

germs so it can prevent serious or even fatal 

illness. 

CopperZap is made in the U.S. of pure copper. 

It has a 90-day full money back guarantee when 

used as directed to stop a cold. It is $69.95. Get 

$10 off each CopperZap with code LVV9.

Join Vegas Voice Prez Ray & Crystal In Tuscany 

There is a lot of construction going 

on in Las Vegas and once again the 

“crane” is the unofficial bird of our 

hometown. Many of the new neighborhoods, 

feature svelte residences. 

But Ray and I prefer the charm of the 

Mediterranean style with tiled roofs, 

thick walls, and flower-filled courtyards. 

That’s why the 50+ adult community 

of Siena has been, and continues to be, 

our home in Summerlin since 2010. 

We hope 

you’ll plan 

now to join 

Ray and me 

on this terrific 

trip! 

Because this 

is such a popular tour, seating is very 

llmited. So please call right way for more 

information. 

Our Siena is a lovely community and 

very suggestive of its Italian namesake, 

which has been named a UNESCO 

World Heritage Site. BTW, with its 

magnificent culture and history, Italy 

tops the list of World Heritage Sites, 

and I always try to seek them out when 

I plan an itinerary. So, signing up for 

Collette’s “Spotlight” tour to Tuscany 

was a “no brainer”. 

I was delighted to find this tour includes 

a visit to the original Siena with 

its stunning medieval palaces and 

October 3 -11, 

2019 

mansions surrounding the Piazza del 

Campo, and the original site of the 

historic Palio horse race which has even 

been reenacted through Siena’s narrow 

streets. And there’s much more... 

This nine day tour includes guided 

sightseeing in Florence, Pisa, San 

Gimignano, the walled city of Lucca, 

and there’s even an optional day trip to 

the colorful hillside villages of Cinque 

Terre with its rugged coastline and 

terraced vineyards. 

Siena’s Piazza Del Campo 

Cinque Terre Option 

Florence 

Only One Charming Hotel 

Throughout Our Stay 

This is a terrific itinerary, and Ray 

and I really like that we will be staying 

in a lovely four star hotel in the spa resort 

town of, centrally located, Montecatini 

Terme for the entire trip. No 

packing and unpacking... Just warm 

autumn days filled with leisurely day 

trips, where we’ll enjoy the wonderful 

sights of Tuscany and its golden hills. 

Plus, we’ll be savoring lots of good 

Italian food and wines. Gelato anyone? 

Experience the optional excursions! Choose 

from a Dinner and Entertainment at a Tuscan Villa, 

a Tuscan Cooking Class & Dinner in Montecatini, or 

a picturesque day trip to legendary Cinque Terre!

Nothing Like a 

Ghost Story 

By: Kathy Manney / Around Our World 

Nearly everyone enjoys a ghost story, and the 

“haunted” Goldfield Hotel in Goldfield, 

Nevada offers one. Goldfield’s historical society began hosting ghost 

tours inside the hotel in 2001; offering no guarantee anything 

supernatural will happen during your tour, although strange things 

have occurred in the past. 

The hotel gained fame in 2001 as one of the “Scariest Places on 

Earth” when the Fox network filmed an episode there. 

It’s believed Room 109 is haunted by a prostitute named Elizabeth 

who, while pregnant, was chained to the room’s radiator by the original 

hotel’s owner, George Winfield. After giving birth, Winfield left Elizabeth 

to die in that room. 

Many feel her presence and sometimes an infant is heard crying. 

Other ghosts have been seen in the halls and lobby. It is believed that 

the hotel serves as a portal to the other world. 

Founded in 1902, Goldfield has a rich history. After gold was 

discovered, it quickly grew. In 1906, Goldfield produced $11 million in 

gold and gained nationwide fame. 

“A luxury liner on a sea of sand,” the four-story Goldfield Hotel was 

built at a cost of $500,000.00 in 1908. It was known as “The Gem in 

the Desert.” 

The hotel had a gold plated ceiling, mahogany paneling and was the 

second hotel in the west to have an electric elevator. It was the finest 

hotel between Denver and San Francisco. 

Meals were “exquisite European cuisine,” featuring oysters, quail 

and squid. Guests arrived for dinner formally dressed in black tie and 

ball gowns. 

The hotel’s front brick facing was delivered by the US Post Office 

because it would have cost more to deliver by rail or wagon. The closed 

and ill-fated hotel remains the most prominent symbol of Goldfield’s 

former glory. 

Goldfield, once Nevada’s largest city is a ghost of its former self, but 

still boosts having the best array of original buildings in the west. It 

offers a glimpse into the 

lifestyle of a true turn of the 

century mining town.

“ASK LAURA ABOUT REAL ESTATE” 

Is It Worth It To Buy A Home That Needs Repairs? 

The answer differs depending on the type of repairs, the neighborhood and more. 

Are the repairs only cosmetic? 

Cosmetic repairs include items like painting, changing the flooring or installing new cabinetry. If 

the home you’re interested in only needs cosmetic repairs, it may be worth the money because 

you’ll get to customize the home to your tastes, and the Seller might be offering a discount 

because they know the house needs a "face lift". 

What does the inspection report say? 

Always get a professional inspection before you buy. The inspection report could alert you to 

problems that the Seller either doesn’t know about or didn't think to tell you about. If the 

inspection report mentions foundation issues or that the HVAC system needs replacing, this may 

be a bigger project than you are prepared for.

What will the ROI be for the needed repairs? 

It’s worth it to take on some minor home repair projects for a house in the right location. Bringing 

the home up to par for the neighborhood is wise, just be careful not to over-improve. Keep in 

mind how long you plan to own the home when contemplating improvements as well. 

Do you have the time to devote to getting the repairs done? 

Moving into a home that isn’t move-in ready could be stressful. Make sure that you will 

have not only the funds but the TIME to deal with what needs to be done. You should be 

prepared for loud noises and a little debris if you hire workers to assist you with the repairs as 

well. 

Are you getting the home for a great price? 

One of the most important factors is the type of deal you’re getting on the home. If it’s not move 

-in ready, what’s the incentive to do the repairs and updates yourself? If the Seller isn’t offering 

an allowance for you to do the repairs or isn’t selling slightly below market to incentivize you, 

what’s the point? 

Look into a 203 (k) loan 

If you find a home that you’re serious about but that requires minor (or major) repairs and you 

don't have the extra cash needed to complete the repairs, look into financing your purchase 

through HUD’s 203 (k) loan. This type of financing allows you to finance the purchase of the 

home and the necessary improvements without having to seek multiple loans. 

Call me today and I'll help you decide if a home that needs repairs may be a good option for 

you. If you have questions about the home-buying (or home-selling) process, my team and I here 

to guide you, every step of the way!
