Elder Financial Abuse Sadly, there are many elderly people who face financial abuse every year. This includes having someone steal money, sell or take property, fake their signature or trick the person into spending money. Luckily, there are some ways that you can protect yourself, friends and loved ones:

Hire the right people. Hire a certified public accountant or financial planner to help you manage your money. A lawyer with elder-law or estate planning knowledge can help you write a will and craft trusts, which can limit others’ access to your money.

Power-of-attorney. Think about who you can trust to be your power-of-attorney. The document can be written to include another person to monitor the person with power-of-attorney or to have two powers-of-attorney. Talk with your attorney about the roll of the power-of-attorney. You will also want to discuss the difference between the standard power-of-attorney and a durable power-of-attorney.

Set up direct payment. Have your tax refunds, pension benefits and Social Security benefits paid directly to your banking account. You can also simplify bill paying by using online payment options available through your bank.

Protect your home. If you are hiring outside help, be sure that the person is trustworthy by having a background check done and/or checking references. You will also want to check to make certain the person is properly insured.

Your Facebook Pictures May Not Be as Safe as You Think

Back in January, Greg McKenna, using the name Lacey Noonan, received media attention for his novel

featuring New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski. The Patriots objected, but Amazon.com only

pulled the self-published e-book off the market because of an Ohio couple’s lawsuit regarding an image on the

book’s cover. The plaintiffs claim that the cover photo is one of their engagement pictures from their

Facebook page. They say the author did not ask the couple for permission to use the photo, and they call the

author’s work “offensive.” The couple is also suing the companies that sold digital formats of the book

without their permission. This case is now in federal court.

Even though there is not a way to make your Facebook profile picture non-downloadable, you can still control

who can and cannot see your other pictures. It is important that you edit your privacy settings so outsiders

cannot view your photo albums. If you would like to see how your profile and photo albums look to people

who are not your friend on Facebook, you can click on the “View As…” feature on your Facebook profile.

You will discover which photo albums are available to outsiders and which are not available. The only

downside is that your current Facebook profile picture and cover photo will be visible to everyone, no matter

how strict your privacy settings.

Here are four other tips to maximize your privacy settings on Facebook:

Who can see your future posts? This is one of the most common pr ivacy settings on Facebook. To use it,

go to your privacy settings by clicking on the lock icon in the right-hand corner and click on “Who can see my

stuff?” It will give you a drop-down menu and you can select which groups of people can see your posts. If

you select public, then anyone can see your posts. If you select friends, only your Facebook friends can see

your posts.

Blocking people from your account - This is another common Facebook pr ivacy feature. If someone is

harassing or threatening you, the best choice would be to block them. To access the blocking setting, click on

the lock icon in the right-hand corner and click on “How do I stop someone from bothering me?” It will give

you a blank space to type in a person’s name or e-mail address and they will be blocked from seeing your

profile.

Disabling the search engine feature - If you are uncomfor table with your Facebook profile being

searchable on the Internet, you can disable the feature, making it more difficult for employers to find you. Go

to your privacy settings by clicking on the lock icon in the right-hand corner and click on “See More Settings.”

A list will appear, and then you will need to click on “Do you want other search engines to link your time-

line?” under “Who can look me up?”

Creating a pseudo name on Facebook - If you do not want employers and other professionals trying to

search your name on Facebook, you can change your name. Most people change their last name to their

middle name, or they abbreviate their first or last name. To change your name on Facebook, click on the

upside down triangle icon, and click on “Settings” in the drop-down menu. Click on “Edit” under “Name” to

change your Facebook name.

Summer Squash SEASON: June through October .

NUTRITION FACTS: Squash is low in calor ies. One cup raw squash contains only 20 calor ies. It contains

vitamins A and C, and is naturally free of fat, cholesterol and sodium.

SELECTION: Popular summer squashes include yellow crookneck, yellow straightneck, zucchini, cocozelle

and patty pan. Summer squash should be picked or purchased when small and tender; both skin and seeds are eaten.

The peel holds many of the nutrients so do not peel. It should be harvested at 6 to 8 inches in length. Patty Pan

squashes are ready when they are 3 -4 inches in diameter or less.

STORAGE: Store unwashed squash in plastic bags in the cr isper drawer of the refr igerator . Wash the squash

just before preparing. The storage life of summer squash is brief. Plan to use within two to three days.

PREPARATION: Summer squash is a mild flavored vegetable and combines well with herbs and seasonings.

Try it with basil, allspice, rosemary and marjoram. Cook summer squash as a vegetable or use in stews, casseroles

and main dishes. Summer squash can be grilled, steamed, boiled, sautéed, fried or used in stir-fry recipes.

PRESERVING: Select small squash with small seeds and a tender r ind. Wash and cut into ½ inch slices and

heat in boiling water for 3 minutes. Cool promptly in cold water and drain. Pack in containers leaving ½ inch

headspace. Seal and freeze.
