“Pole! Pole!” Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro
EOA’s very own Jeremy Tan is climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro. At 19,341 feet above sea
level, it’s the highest mountain in Tanzania and the highest free-standing mountain in the
world. Willpower and endurance are the two most important qualities you must possess to be suc-
cessful in reaching the summit. You need to be able to keep putting one foot in front of the other even though
you might be extremely deprived of oxygen and energy. According to Climbing Kilimanjaro.com, “It's more of a
walk than a climb really – you’re moving at a snail’s pace which allows you to preserve energy, appreciate your
surroundings and become acclimatized to the high altitudes.” The guides emphasize walking “pole pole”, which
translates from Swahili into “slowly, slowly”. Soaring above the rippling tea plantations and low hills of northeast-
ern Tanzania, Mount Kilimanjaro, is Africa’s highest peak. Jeremy will be hiking eight days through the spectacular
landscapes of five temperate zones. On this once-in-a-lifetime trek, he will take in extraordinary views extending
hundreds of miles, and experience the sunrise from the “Roof of Africa.” Jeremy currently teaches our Healthy
Aging and Lifelong Learning for Older Adults classes on Saturdays and is looking forward to telling his classes all
about his adventure when he returns. Good Luck Jeremy!
With November 8 fast approaching, elections are just around the corner. This is a time when you can
expect to hear from scammers posing as pollsters, political party staffers or officials in ploys to take your
money and identity. Getting sensitive information and funds through election scams is more conceivable
than other schemes. Campaign workers are going door to door and, email and social media is full of po-
litical information.
Keep your guard up with these tips:
Survey swindles. Claiming to be doing a political survey, fraudsters may start with a few expected or
softball questions, then delve into more sensitive queries about your income, medications or the like,
with the usual aim of selling your details to third-party vendors for future phone calls or spam offers
which themselves may be scams. Be especially wary of offers of a prize for participation. Legit political
surveys don’t offer them; it’s a con to get sensitive information or download computer malware.
Phony fundraising. Crooks sometimes make random calls alleging that they represent a political party,
actual candidate or voter cause. Don’t donate over the phone, by email or to a front-door visitor. If you
wish to offer financial support, contact the political party directly or through its website.
Registration ruses. Unsolicited offers to update or confirm your voter registration can be an easy
method for scammers to obtain personal information that could be used for identity theft. Some phony
registration workers ask for credit card details as part of the “confirmation” process. Legit canvassers
will have leave-behind forms for you to complete; they shouldn’t ask for your sensitive information.
And although it’s legal, there’s no need for a company that charges you to do registration paperwork.
Free forms to update registration or change parties are available on the website of your local supervisor
of elections, at some libraries, post offices and other taxpayer-funded facilities. Most states require that
registration be completed at least 30 days before an election.
Vote by phone. Election laws prevent this. In most cases, voters must get an absentee ballot in advance
or make other arrangements if they are unable to make it to the polls. In addition to mining personal in-
formation in scam emails and robocalls, swindlers could direct you to an overseas callback number with
a seemingly all-American area code and an outrageous per-minute calling cost.
Petition ploys. Although less common than other schemes, these could involve unscrupulous advo-
cates promoting hot-button issues environmental initiatives — but actually soliciting names, addresses and phone numbers for unwanted sales calls or even ID theft. Sign wisely.
