Hi everybody, welcome to There's No Aging in Vegas. I'm so happy you're all joining us.

Pat Landaker
0:00:56
I want to quickly let you know that the show is going to be transitioning. It's now going to be called, starting in January, it's going to be called the Pat Landacre Show. It'll be a bigger umbrella so I can cover more aging topics, of which one will be There's No Aging in Vegas, another one will be Ageless Aging, and then Living Levita Senior. And I'll be able to touch on a lot more topics with that. So I just want to alert everybody for more information.

Pat Landaker
0:01:34
Information is available on the new show at patlandacreagency.com. But we're going to go ahead and get started. And today we have Ollie with us, and they're going to give us five minutes of Ollie facts and fun. And so I have my guest today is Susan Waldman, and she's going to share some information with us.

Pat Landaker
0:01:59
Hi, Susan, how are you?

Susan Waldman
0:02:00
Hi, Pat, happy holidays. Good morning.

Pat Landaker
0:02:03
Happy holidays back at you. So just give me your title over at OLLI. I'm the chairperson of the Educational Programming Committee. And do you also teach over there? Yes, I'm going to be teaching a class on Mahjong this year.

Pat Landaker
0:02:21
Oh, fun.

Pat Landaker
0:02:22
That's the great thing about OLLI. People go, you know, they hear education, they hear UNLV, they hear OLLI and they think, oh, they're just doing a bunch of classes that are English classes or stuff. No, they're playing Mahjong, they're doing all kinds of stuff over there. Hey, Susan, what's going to be coming up in January that people might be interested in?

Susan Waldman/Erin Neff/Dr. Monica Larson
0:02:44
Well, we have a lot of classes coming up. We have watercolor coming up. We have diamond painting coming up. We have a film class. We have a class on Broadway musicals. And last year, I took classes on cigars and wine,

Susan Waldman/Erin Neff/Dr. Monica Larson
0:03:01
which is coming back this spring. And we also have classes on, it's called Soapbox and Professor's Choice. They're usually lecture classes and discussion classes where we're able to ask the person who's lecturing questions about

Susan Waldman
0:03:18
what they're lecturing on.

Pat Landaker
0:03:20
What's a couple of the classes you've had in either special interest groups or some of the speakers you've had?

Susan Waldman/Erin Neff/Dr. Monica Larson
0:03:29
Well we've had a lot of people who've come in who were running for office during the you know for the this election year this past this past november and we've had several people coming in and telling us what's going on in las vegas uh... we just have uh... we have professors they come in from u n l v and chat about what they're doing it u n l v n

Susan Waldman/Erin Neff/Dr. Monica Larson
0:03:53
about their classes that u n l v and they're giving us some insight how uh... the classes are and we have people come in from the athletic department because we have a class that's called sports biz and a lot of the guys from the athletic department come in and chat with us and let us know what's going on at the school.

Pat Landaker
0:04:13
Oh that's fantastic. Now I heard that they're going to have pickleball. Did that start already?

Susan Waldman/Erin Neff/Dr. Monica Larson
0:04:21
Yes, we have pickleball that started this past fall and it's going to be continued into the spring. And those are things that are done a little bit off campus, but not too far off campus where you can't get to them conveniently.

Pat Landaker
0:04:38
Oh, that's wow. We are really giving the people what they want, right, Susan?

Susan Waldman/Erin Neff/Dr. Monica Larson
0:04:43
Yes, and we've gone to some football games together. We've gone to the Smith Center together. We go to the ballet sometimes together. We have a thing called Members Memo that comes up on email and they have listings of everything that's going on in town during that particular week.

Pat Landaker
0:05:05
Yeah, I love that, Members Menu. That's what keeps me in step with what's happening over there.

Susan Waldman/Erin Neff/Dr. Monica Larson
0:05:15
The best part of OLLI is making new friends and being very social and just being part of the community and aging well because you're being productive and you're enjoying yourself. I mean a lot of people, we go out to lunch sometimes. I've made many friends there and I've been going there for 14 years and have just loved it. When I retired, I needed something to do and I wasn't really very athletic and I didn't play golf or tennis, but I did love learning and I love to be productive and be challenged

Susan Waldman/Erin Neff/Dr. Monica Larson
0:05:52
and certainly I'm getting all of those going to OLLI.

Pat Landaker
0:05:55
Yeah, no, OLLI provides so much and especially the social environment is very vibrant and it's a great place to meet other people and the building itself the campus for Ollie. Which is right.

Susan Waldman
0:06:09
We were in a big big new building right now.

Susan Waldman/Erin Neff/Dr. Monica Larson
0:06:11
We used to be in a building that had bathrooms for boys and girls.

Pat Landaker
0:06:15
Oh no no no.

Susan Waldman/Erin Neff/Dr. Monica Larson
0:06:16
You know we have bathrooms for men and women.

Pat Landaker
0:06:17
I know that. I taught I taught over at the old campus as well and yeah it's very nice now at the new campus but let me ask you this we're running out of time, so tell me, I know that the open house is coming where the public can come in and check out the campus and meet some of the teachers and all of that. Now what day is that going to happen?

Susan Waldman/Erin Neff/Dr. Monica Larson
0:06:42
That's going to happen on January 14th and it's from 9 to 12 and it's on our campus which is at 4350 Maryland Parkway. Perfect. It's right across the street from

Pat Landaker
0:06:56
the main campus. Yeah, it's just a beautiful place people. If you're interested in learning, if you didn't know that there was a campus for semi and retired people right on the UNLV campus, then now you know. And they offer over a hundred classes. And it's summer, spring, and fall. Susan, thank you so much. I'll make sure to get all the contact information out. But thank you so much for taking your time this morning to join me.

Pat Landaker
0:07:24
It was my pleasure.

Susan Waldman/Erin Neff/Dr. Monica Larson
0:07:26
I wish all of your listeners and yourself a very happy holiday and a very happy and healthy New Year.

Pat Landaker
0:07:32
Oh, thank you so much for those kind words, Susan. And I'll see you soon on campus, okay?

Susan Waldman/Erin Neff/Dr. Monica Larson
0:07:38
I look forward to it, Pat.

Pat Landaker
0:07:40
Take care now. Thank you very much.

Susan Waldman
0:07:42
Bye-bye.

This program is underwritten by AARP Nevada, currently seeking volunteers for a variety of roles, including speakers for meetings, tech support for member events, and people who just want to meet and greet others. AARP Nevada offers training and support to help individuals help AARP Nevada.

Pat Landaker
0:07:57
More information is available at states.aarp.org slash Nevada. All right everybody it's time for the AARP Nevada five-minute segment and again we have the amazing Erin Neff with us today. She's going to share what's going on with AARP Nevada for 2025. How you doing Erin? Well thank you so much Pat. I'm doing great. It's wonderful to talk with you and your listeners again so thank you for having me. Yeah, no, you know, I just, you're information central over there,

Pat Landaker
0:08:32
and I definitely wanted to get any information from the person who knows it most. So what is AARP planning for 2025 that's different, changed, what's going on? Well, one thing that's top of mind, of course, is the issue of fraud. It impacts not just those of us over 50, but of course it impacts everyone these days. These criminals are out to get us and our information. And one of the things we're really going to push for in 2025 is that the legislature, we're going to ask the state government to enact a victim's restitution bill paid for by the criminals and the amount of money they steal from us.

Pat Landaker
0:09:19
And we want to have a fund created to actually help people get back some of what they've lost, because this crime is rampant, and we need to help the people who have been victimized by it. city governments do to restitute people or is this something brand new that AARP is bringing in? This is brand new to Nevada right now, unfortunately, if you are a victim of identity theft and let's say someone has tricked you out of a lot of money in the we have cases where this runs into the six figures into the seven figures

Pat Landaker
0:10:04
unfortunately and there's no way to get this money back often these these criminals are not caught so this would enable someone to actually apply for restitution right now your only recourse you report it to Metro and to the FTC and you try to make people aware of what happened to you. But under this, we would actually create a fund that people could, you know, reach out to if they were victimized by fraud. Is this an AARP disbursed fund or is this something

Pat Landaker
0:10:42
you're going to work with police? We actually plan to work with the Secretary of State can of course find businesses or find foreign actors who've been guilty of doing this kind of operation. These typically aren't just people, these are rings of criminals. And so once people are caught and are made to pay back what they stole, that would go into the state government-run restitution fund. Again, this would be housed in the Secretary of State's office, and we are currently working

Susan Waldman
0:11:21
with the Secretary of State to create the legislation that would set this program up.

Pat Landaker
0:11:27
Oh, wow. Oh, that is big, big, big, big news there. Oh, my goodness. Well, good. And when do you expect that people would be able to use that? Again, this is just something we're going to bring to the legislature and hope to pass. So it's not something that

Pat Landaker
0:11:45
would be immediately available, but I will say there is something big happening in 2025 starting on January 1st. The Medicare negotiation for drugs really kicks in. Anyone on Medicare will see their absolute prices go down. We have a cap now in place for annual medical costs. It can never exceed $2,500. In addition, these drugs that we've started Medicare negotiating for are now capped,

Pat Landaker
0:12:21
including insulin. news on prescription drug prices in 2025, which will help everyone.

Susan Waldman
0:12:28
Yes, yes.

Pat Landaker
0:12:29
Well, I know I had been hearing, like, the past year about the insulin being reduced, and so do you expect all of that? Is that a part of that? Is it all drugs, just some drugs?

Susan Waldman
0:12:43
It is not all drugs, but it is the 10 most commonly prescribed drugs under Medicare. Okay. So if for example you're taking something that the majority people take for either you know heart disease or high cholesterol or diabetes

Pat Landaker
0:13:04
then you'll be covered for sure. Yeah that's awesome. Well you know what you did bring some I mean, both of those things, but the restitution. Wow. You know, AARP is always on the front line, helping us seniors, you know, get what we need. And so I really appreciate AARP Nevada and all of AARP,

Pat Landaker
0:13:25
and definitely you, Aaron, and all the good stuff you bring to us. And I really appreciate you calling in today. And I want you to have a really, really, really happy New Year. I thank you so much, Pat. I'm wishing you and all your listeners a happy and very healthy 2025.

Pat Landaker
0:13:50
Oh, thank you so much. I'll talk to you soon.

Erin Neff
0:13:54
All right, bye-bye.

Susan Waldman
0:13:55
All right, bye-bye.

Sponsorship of this program is provided by Ollie at UNLV.

Robert Levrant
0:14:01
Did you know UNLV has a learning community of more than 1,200 retired and semi-retired adults? Hi, I'm Dr. Rob Leverhand, Director of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, better known as OLLI. Our program offers more than 250 classes a year, featuring over 100 volunteer instructors, offering topics from artificial intelligence to yin yoga.

Robert Levrant
0:14:23
Information about OLLI is available at olli.unlv.edu.

Pat Landaker
0:14:30
Alright, let's get to my special guest. I'm so excited. Dr. Monica Larson, she is stirring things up over in Henderson. And I'm really excited, you know, with the New Year coming and all the things that we're concerned about with our community, with our families, with just about everything. She's really out there making a difference in her community for sure and she's probably going to be

Pat Landaker
0:14:55
making a difference in several more coming up in January. So I wanted to have her here so she could share some tips with us how to start the new year, feel less vulnerable, feel more safe. Welcome Dr. Monica. Well thank you so much for

Susan Waldman/Erin Neff/Dr. Monica Larson
0:15:09
having me. I'm so excited and thank you. You are the consummate professional.

Pat Landaker
0:15:17
Oh, I'm honored. All right, recognized. Well, you know, look, you do a lot of things, but I want to just set the stage. So just tell us a little bit about yourself and how you landed where you are now working so closely with the police

Susan Waldman/Erin Neff/Dr. Monica Larson
0:15:33
police department on some very important things? Okay, yeah, sure. I originally grew up in Chicago. In Chicago, we joke and say you have to have eyes in the back of your head because of the environment, and it's essentially true. I got married, had children, we relocated to California, but prior to that, I kind of got the taste for criminal justice because I used to work at the, as a paralegal for the DuPage County State's Attorney's Office, the felony division. And so lots going on, lots of activity, just completely chaos, but I loved it. And I said, I'm interested in that.

Susan Waldman/Erin Neff/Dr. Monica Larson
0:16:19
And so I started my criminal justice route that way as a paralegal and then I got my AA and bachelor's in criminal justice. My bachelor's was with crime scene investigation or specialization. Yeah and then I I was working we moved by that time to Northern California out in the

Susan Waldman/Erin Neff/Dr. Monica Larson
0:16:57
East Bay outside of Oakland in a little town called Antioch and I was working volunteering at the Antioch Police Department where I had a squad car, a uniform. What? Yes. Just for volunteering? For volunteering. And I had a squad, a uniform, and a partner. My partner was a retired Air Force veteran. And so we would essentially, it was a non-sworn position, so we would essentially go out and do anything

Susan Waldman/Erin Neff/Dr. Monica Larson
0:17:17
that the officers needed to offload them because it was getting quite busy right outside of Oakland, as you can imagine.

Pat Landaker
0:17:24
Oh, yeah.

Susan Waldman/Erin Neff/Dr. Monica Larson
0:17:25
Yeah. So it encompassed things like vacation house checks, which not every state does that. So if someone were going on vacation, they would let the police department know. And then we would go out with the information.

Pat Landaker
0:17:39
We would pick up newspapers, make sure mail wasn't out, packages. Wow, I've never heard of that before. I hope they do something like that here and implement it because it really is effective and it's a safeguard because we would also patrol the homes. We would walk the perimeter of the homes to make sure there were no broken windows or anything like that or anything was out of the ordinary, and we would do that until the individual returned and we had contact information for

Pat Landaker
0:18:05
family members or a trusted person if something were up. We also did like handicapped parking tickets, traffic control, even missing persons we would go out and look for them. No wait, wait, okay, stop. Wait, because I want to make sure I didn't fall asleep in the middle So you're over here volunteering. Yes. Volunteering.

Pat Landaker
0:18:30
Volunteering. Right? Not on the payroll. No. Nothing. And they ain't gave you a car.

Pat Landaker
0:18:36
Yes. You're out here giving, what, tickets for parking in the handicap. I mean, what?

Dr. Monica Larson
0:18:39
It was, I did it.

Susan Waldman/Erin Neff/Dr. Monica Larson
0:18:40
You know, because I said, it definitely offloaded the officers. We even did ordinance like for parking violations because people would, a lot of people would have to pay for parking violations because people would, a lot of them were stolen vehicles so we would have them told we would do ticketing so we would have to write the warning letters or tickets. Did you expect any of this to be a part of that volunteer role? Yeah because they make sure they inform you

Susan Waldman/Erin Neff/Dr. Monica Larson
0:19:07
in advance so you make an informed decision if you're gonna do that. You

Pat Landaker
0:19:12
know when I lived in Aurora, Colorado, I did all that kind of stuff. I loved it. But they didn't, we were just sitting there hoping that that they didn't have to go pick up a crazy person or something. And here you are, I mean that's really fascinating, you know. Let me get you to the next level because I know we're not gonna have enough time because you're gonna be telling us some good stuff. So what happened after you lived in Antioch? Where did you go?

Susan Waldman/Erin Neff/Dr. Monica Larson
0:19:36
So from that experience, because I'll just backtrack just one second, one of the things, there was an individual, unfortunately, like I said, crime had started really, it was a pattern in Antioch. Half of the high school was under house arrest, which was really terrible. They were on ankle monitoring system, most of the high school members. And so they, a police officer picked up one of the youth who was about 17 and he had just broken into

Susan Waldman/Erin Neff/Dr. Monica Larson
0:20:05
a home at 830 in the morning. And so they brought him in for booking and processing and he was standing there and I said, you know, you're obviously intelligent, creative, use that creativity for something positive, something that can help others. And he said quite callously, just like you go to work, so do I. What's yours is mine, and what's mine is mine.

Susan Waldman/Erin Neff/Dr. Monica Larson
0:20:32
That was the shift for me, and I said, I'm going the psychology route, because initially I wanted to be a work, I had thought about going the criminal justice route and being a prosecutor, an attorney.

Pat Landaker
0:20:45
But then I went the psychology route, because I wanted to understand what made people tick and do what they have the attitude oh yeah it's your stuff but I'm gonna take it yeah and I wanted to make sure I prevented that so that that wouldn't happen again one person one person well if you were doing all that stuff in Antioch who's to say you couldn't you know go and solve crimes around the world that's right you know that was the intent to be an FBI profiler yeah well I think that's

Pat Landaker
0:21:14
really fascinating and that's what stood out for me in your resume is like you know you're coming you're doing this with so much background and experience. I mean just hearing the Antioch story people if you thought she was just joking she might as well just go be a police officer. I mean after the Antioch thing I'm sure you've got all the training that you might need but you know so here you come here and I know that you were in Pasadena for a while and doing all that. And then you decided, okay, as a lot of people do, I'm going to move from California to Vegas.

Pat Landaker
0:21:48
And then you move into this beautiful community. And you think, oh, this is what I've been dreaming of. This is so not Antioch, so not DeKalb County, you know, Illinois. This is, and then what do you start running into?

Susan Waldman/Erin Neff/Dr. Monica Larson
0:22:04
Well, I found out one of the things that enticed us, aside from having a quality of life and more affordability, was they touted it as the second safest city in the nation.

Pat Landaker
0:22:17
Vegas or Henderson?

Susan Waldman/Erin Neff/Dr. Monica Larson
0:22:18
Henderson. I quickly found out that was not the case. I stopped my 4.30 a.m. walks in the morning by myself type of thing and we started having, it was crazy, attempted home invasions, many vehicle thefts, attempted break-ins, attempted vehicle thefts, peeping Toms. There was one peeping Tom, he was leering in a window and there was a child luring.

Susan Waldman/Erin Neff/Dr. Monica Larson
0:22:43
They didn't call kidnapping, they called it luring. Oh my God. But yeah, that was off of Democracy, a little 12 year old girl, and she was just getting off the school bus. So it was a lot of things going on. And I said, that is enough.

Susan Waldman/Erin Neff/Dr. Monica Larson
0:23:00
And people, two boys, two young men behind us, they broke into their garages, stealing all this stuff. They tried to steal the neighbor across the way, his Porsche SUV twice.

Pat Landaker
0:23:10
This all happened in a very close time frame. The proximity to where you're living. Right. And you just got, because I know you started Neighborhood Watch.

Dr. Monica Larson
0:23:19
Yes.

Pat Landaker
0:23:20
You'd had it. I had it. You were done.

Pat Landaker
0:23:23
I'm going to take care of this.

Pat Landaker
0:23:24
I was done. You had that anti-op vigilante thing going on with you. Yes, I did. And so you got out there and you called your city council person a few times to ask for help and you got no response and then the next thing I know I see you on the news talking about he ain't doing

Pat Landaker
0:23:43
enough

Susan Waldman/Erin Neff/Dr. Monica Larson
0:23:44
That was the truth. That was the truth I had every intention because I did I started going door-to-door and I said look We've lost our sense of community people go on their homes close the garage doors. They don't even know who their neighbors are So if something were to transpire at their home They wouldn't even know what to look for because they don't know who

Pat Landaker
0:24:03
their neighbors are. That's a good point. Because when we grew up, I mean, you knew who your neighbors were, you might be in the front yard, but here everybody's in their backyard, they drive their car in the garage, the garage door goes down, and you try to catch a glance, who is it? What does my neighbor look like?

Pat Landaker
0:24:21
I know that's what I do. I go straight in my garage. I don't know nobody. I got a beautiful front porch I can sit on. I ain't been on it. You know, the society has changed in that way.

Susan Waldman/Erin Neff/Dr. Monica Larson
0:24:31
It has changed, but we've got to get back to the basics, if you will, at least know who your neighbors are. Because when my neighbor, five doors down, had his car stolen at 612 in the morning by a female, I was out that morning leaving. I wouldn't have known that it wasn't his wife.

Pat Landaker
0:24:50
She just looked like the average Joe Schmo or Jill Schmo Yeah, you know and we think living where we live especially I Mean, I always thought after I bought the home and read about the area and what to look out for I thought my biggest problem is gonna be scorpions and rattlesnakes and and coyotes and all but wow Yeah, so when this started kind of happening, I was a bit privy to it, but I had no idea until I saw you on

Pat Landaker
0:25:18
the show how much of the neighborhood had been. And it's still great. I mean, this is a really little small percentage, but it is. And so you decided, you know what, somebody got to do something.

Susan Waldman/Erin Neff/Dr. Monica Larson
0:25:29
Yeah. And, and because the officers were unfortunately short staffed, they need more, more officers, unfortunately.

Pat Landaker
0:25:39
And Henderson.

Dr. Monica Larson
0:25:40
Yes.

Susan Waldman/Erin Neff/Dr. Monica Larson
0:25:41
And so I wanted to make sure we did something about it. And I went door to door, and I said, who's in? I contacted Henderson police, and I asked to start the Neighborhood Watch for our community. And so there's about 90 of us strong, where we, I bought, I took it one step further, because I never

Susan Waldman/Erin Neff/Dr. Monica Larson
0:25:59
half-stepped on anything. And so it's great for visibility just if they choose people choose to just look out and say something see something say something but I bought car magnets customized I bought patrol lights yeah and I said who's in who wants to patrol so me and all this out of your pocket yes yeah me and other neighbors who are retired police retired military we patrol

Susan Waldman/Erin Neff/Dr. Monica Larson
0:26:23
ourselves and that's what stopped it and because you have to have a deterrent. And so some communities have patrol, like you'll see them doing that. We do a little bit extra, but we make sure that we have that visibility and presence. And then we also have a private Facebook group page,

Susan Waldman/Erin Neff/Dr. Monica Larson
0:26:43
so any information is disseminated in real time to the whole entire community, so you know what a vehicle, a suspicious vehicle that's driving through the neighborhood looks like.

Pat Landaker
0:26:53
And you know the plates if we can get them or what the description is.

Pat Landaker
0:26:56
I didn't know all this.

Susan Waldman/Erin Neff/Dr. Monica Larson
0:26:57
Yeah, we do that.

Pat Landaker
0:26:58
I live that.

Susan Waldman/Erin Neff/Dr. Monica Larson
0:26:59
Yeah, we do that.

Pat Landaker
0:27:00
I'm kind of embarrassed saying that.

Susan Waldman/Erin Neff/Dr. Monica Larson
0:27:02
Well, if you don't know, you won't. And most people don't.

Pat Landaker
0:27:06
And so we just try to make sure that people are aware because that's how everyone's engaged and everyone knows what's going on. Well, you've made such a big difference and so let me just let everybody know she took all this I'm gonna fix this neighborhood she wrapped it with a bow she took it and she said it on the election officers desk the county the city clerk and she said I'm gonna run for office and guess what people she in January will be the new City Council person for war two in Henderson. Yes. All because of her own personal effort and

Pat Landaker
0:27:44
this was not I'm sure an easy race you beat of somebody that's been in there a long time. Right. But it just goes to show you that one person can make such a difference. Yes. So you're gonna take all this amazing energy and spunk when you meet her you'll know what I mean. And you're going to go in there and you're going to do, I mean, I personally believe you're probably going to do everything that you said you were going to set out to do.

Pat Landaker
0:28:11

And I remember driving up Raiders Way and I'd see signs of this person and even I thought no way you know and you just it's amazing and I look forward to everything you're gonna do I'm definitely gonna have you back I want to keep track of what you're doing this is a new thing for everybody really but for our neighborhood I couldn't think of a better person to champion us through what I'm sure is going to become some crazy times.

What are you hitting the ground running with? Well, I'm never going to let up on public safety, because that's paramount. If you don't have public safety with fire and police, you have no quality of life. And so that's got to be first and foremost, we've got to ramp up on them, get them the resources that they need. And that includes human trafficking and child exploitation, because Nevada's number two in the nation.

We need to ramp that up, and also narcotics. Because right now we rely on Metro. So there's some things we've got to put our money where our mouth is and do what we say that we care about.
