Senior scam prevention

Don't get scammed seniors! According to the National Council on Aging, financial scams targeting Seniors have become so prevalent that they're considered “the crime of the 21st century.” In honor of declaring May as “Older Americans Month” in Santa Clara County, on Friday, May 23 from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. the Office of District Attorney Jeffrey F.

The Director of Mediation Services, Consumer Protection Unit of the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office will discuss some of the ways that criminals will try to fool you and take your money or your identity.

My friend Edith Edde makes the biggest pots of soup in Gilroy: two pots so giant that a buff athlete can barely lift them. How she moves them around her kitchen is a mystery to me. They are filled to the brim with beans she has soaked herself until they are tender, which are added to other nutritious ingredients and served in a warm and meaty broth fit to fill the soul on a cold winter’s night.
