Spilling into the street, the Winlock City Council meeting on August 28 ended with contention over the ownership of the Olequa Senior Center. There are several events that occurred which have upset the seniors and volunteers at the center.

To the Winlock Citizens:

As of September 1st I am declaring my candidacy as a write-in candidate for the position of Mayor of Winlock. I have made this decision after seeing the stagnation of the city and going to two very dysfunctional city council meetings.

Dear Savvy Senior,

My wife and I are both in our late sixties and are looking to buy a new car. Can you recommend some good resources that can help us evaluate and choose a good car for older drivers?

Dear Savvy Senior,

Are there any services you know of that check in on elderly seniors who live alone. I worry about my 84-year-old father falling or having a medical emergency, and not being able to get to the phone to call for help. And he won't wear a lifeline help-button.

Desperate Daughter

Dear Savvy Senior,

My elderly father gets over 100 pieces of junk mail every week, and I just discovered that he's given away nearly $5,000 over the past few months to many of the solicitors that mail him this junk. Can you offer any tips on how can I stop this?
