Page 2—Seniors Today—August 12, 2016

Mood Swings have been writing for Seniors Today for a dozen years and some friends say, “I don’t know how you come up with what you write.” The answers are very simple. I live vicariously… I love my family and friends and listen to what they have to say… and I write when nothing else creates an interruption. Sometimes I even get caught up in the creative activities of others. The latest thing to get my attention is something my daughter sent me via e-mail. It is titled, You Can’t Read This And Stay In A Bad Mood! It came when I was in a state of concern (not worry) for some of my friends. What’s under the cap? My friend, Sue. She’s been forced to join the many women who find themselves getting an operation followed by months of chemotherapy. She is a very special person, who is cared for by all who make her acquaintance. The blessing is that Sue has taken it all in stride. Her moods are always on the up side while her friends have some somber days of concern for her. What is her heartbeat today? Jacque tried to live a more quiet life following a stroke and an operation to aid the flow of blood through her small veins. The most difficult thing for her is that she has always helped—at school, at church, at home—and her help as a volunteer hasn’t stopped. Each time she takes on a special project, she stays in for a couple of days to recuperates. In retrospect, I believe my daughter sent that e-mail about bad mood when I wasn’t up to snuff. (As my Grandma Chapman said.)

You Name It …by Kitty Maiden You may have seen this before… but if your mood needs a raise—enjoy it again. 1. Do you know how to catch a unique rabbit? Unique Up On It 2. Do you know how to catch a tame rabbit? Tame way 3. How do crazy people go through the forest? They take the psychopath 4. What do Eskimos get from sitting on the ice too long? Polaroids 5. What do you call a boomerang that doesn't work? A Stick 6. What do you call cheese that isn't yours? Nacho cheese 7. What do you call Santa's helpers? Subordinate Clauses 8. What do you get from a pampered cow? Spoiled milk 9 What do you get when you cross a snowman with a vampire? Frostbite 10. Why did the pilgrims' pants fall down? Because they wore their belt buckles on their hats The last one was: “Support bacteria. It’s the only culture some people have.” (Boo!) If you find yourself in a bad mood, read something ridiculous… or sing! Kitty Maiden is a staff writer for Seniors Today.

School Daze by George Goldtrap veryone knows what a great influence teachers exert on our lives. I maintain a relationship with several of my former teachers. I appreciate and admire them and cherish their friendship. With three teachers in my own family (sisters) how can I do otherwise? Like all professions, teaching has its bums, but those who do their job well contribute to our success as individuals and as a nation. For example there’s unforgettable Mama Gray, a teacher par excellence of civics and history. Her real name is Margaret Gray, but she was so like a mother to each of us that she eventually acquired the nickname —to this day she wears it with pride. There are classic stories of her intuition, ﬁnesse, and eyes in the back of her head, teaching skills. Naturally in a room full of teenagers, sex is never far from their immediate attention. Some teachers deal with that fact of life in an aloof, detached manner. The wise ones however, like Mama Gray, know it’s basically harmless curiosity, and they deal with it. I remember two stories like they happened just yesterday, and I’ve repeated them often as examples of effective teaching. th The class was 10 grade history. From a chapter probably deliberately selected by Mama Gray, the designated reader proceeded with a text describing one of the old world cities. The class followed along attentively as the reader reached the following phrase: “…this ancient city was the center of commerce and social intercourse.” You could hear a pin drop. The words echoed. Social intercourse! In a room full of pubescent boys and giggly girls the silence wouldn’t last long. Mama Gray with superbly controlled timing, said nothing. Social intercourse! How brazen. Just the sound of it is fodder for teenage glee. The boy’s sheepish grins exploded into laughter and crescendoed into upper decibel levels. Mama Gray’s silence created a safety zone for the girls, who quickly followed suit, giggling—ﬁrst one, another, then all. With tension obliterated, the release hit the fan. In seconds the silence turned into teen turmoil. Social intercourse! Did somebody actually write that? Did we actually read it out loud? Heavens! What is the world coming too? At this point most teachers would have banged the desk, yelled 'ORDER' and lectured about the impropriety of it all. Mama Gray remained silent. She knew everything about high school boys and girls. She’d once been one. So have all teachers, the difference is she hadn’t forgotten it. That’s why we loved her so. The boisterousness subsided, and the feigned embarrassment faded. Mama Gray, book in hand, looked at us with a stern but friendly grin and asked, “Okay, have we

Happy Talk …by George & Peggy Goldtrap all heard it now? ‘Social intercourse,’ a perfectly acceptable term. Is everybody through giggling? Do we all have it out of our systems? Let’s all say it together. Ready, ‘social intercourse.’ (The class responds.) Good. Now can we move on?” Now, that’s masterful teaching. Some years later, there was the ‘hoe’ incident. The silence this time was even more deafening. This time it was serious. Make no mistake—very serious! The class had assembled. Mama Gray entered the room. Her eyes swept the students and came to rest on the blackboard. There, in huge letters, was printed ‘Mama Gray Is A Hoe.’ You could almost see the silence. Our intuitive master teacher quickly selected a particular young gentleman. Okay, he was a punk, but Mama Gray saw the potential for good in every student. She directed him to go to the dictionary stand. I’m pretty sure she suspected him as the culprit but short of proof she had to be coy. She asked that he look up ‘hoe’ and read the definition to the class. The class quickly perceived that hoe, a gardening tool, could not possibly be applied to Mama Gray. The class relaxed. The young Webster-searcher was then instructed to look up ‘hoar’—defined as white frost. Already hoary-headed, Mama Gray accepted with some chagrin as to how that definition might possibly fit. The threatening atmosphere broken, she continued by methodically interspersing the dictionary readings with remarks on the importance of knowing what you are talking about. The class got the message. The young suspect started toward his seat, but was ordered to stay put at the dictionary. He was then instructed to look up the word whore. His reaction was easily predictable. Sorely embarrassed, he didn’t have the guts to read the definition. With the young man still standing as if in a witness stand, Mama Gray read it for him. She explained at length the definition and the implications. With increasing fervor and absolute resolve she warned the class that should that expression, or anything remotely re-sembling it ever again appear on her blackboards, the entire class could expect to fail the course for the semester. ’Nuff said! Education is not a fancy building with carpets and air-conditioning. It’s a log with a teacher on one end and a student on the other. Hip-Hip-Hooray for Mama Gray. We learned much from her, and a lot of it was history.

Senior Citizen’s Day In The United States Special to Seniors Today ational Senior Citizens Day is an observance on August 21 to honor the contributions of senior citizens in the United States. What Do People Do? Various events and activities are organized on Senior Citizens Day to raise awareness of supporting older people and recognizing their achievements. Some people raise awareness through social media and news stories, while others organize special community gatherings inviting senior citizens, their families, friends, and volunteers. Some businesses give special discounts or deals to senior citizens on or around August 21. Some people celebrate Senior Citizens Day on August 14 as it was the day past US president Franklin Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act in 1935. However, in 1988 Ronald Reagan, who was the US president at the time, declared August 21 to be National Senior Citizens Day. This observance was established in honor of senior citizens in the US who

made positive contributions in their communities. The day was also created to bring awareness of social, health, and economic issues that affect senior citizens. Here some demographic statistics about the senior population from the U.S. Census Bureau: 86.7 million—Projected number of people who will be 65 or older in the year 2050. In 2050, seniors age 65 and older will make up 21 percent of the total population. 147 percent—The projected percentage that the 65+ senior population will increase between 2000 and 2050. The U.S. population as a whole is expected to increase by only 49 percent during same period.

Antiques Hallmark Ornament Q: I have a Hallmark Christmas ornament that I received as a gift in 1989. It is Stocking Mouse and is in its original box. How much is it worth? —Willow, Jackson, Mississippi A: The first Hallmark ornaments were issued in 1973. The Hallmark Keepsake Ornament Collectors’ Club was organized in 1987 and its members offered exclusive issues. Your ornament was introduced in 1981 and is worth about $45. It originally sold for $4. One of the better price guides is Warman's Companion Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments by Mary Sieber and published by Krause Books. Informative and portable, this guide features company history, more than 500 illustrations and values that I think accurately reflect the marketplace. *** Q: While cleaning out a storage barn in Vermont, I found an oval belt buckle with SNY on its face. What do I have? —Steve, Manchester, New Hampshire A: You have a Civil War artifact. This buckle could have been worn by a member of the New York militia, since SNY is an abbreviation for State of New York. It also was worn by members of Brooklyn’s 23rd Regiment. Regardless, if authentic, it

is worth about $500, according to Warman's Civil War Collectibles by John F. Graf and published by Krause Books. *** Q: I have a Jimmy Carter For President T-shirt that was purchased at a campaign rally but never worn. What do you think it is worth? —Fred, Morrilton, Arkansas A: I found your T-shirt referenced in Warman's Political Collectibles: Identification And Price Guide by Dr. Enoch L. Nappen and published by Krause Books. According to Dr. Nappen, your T-shirt is from 1976 and is valued in the $15-$20 range. *** Q: I have a copy of the Spalding Official Baseball Guide of 1937 and wonder about how much it might be worth. —Ray, Blairs, Virginia A: Your book was edited by Carl Hubbell, and I have discovered that most copies are valued in the $15-$60 range. As with most collectibles, condition is paramount. Stained, marked, or missing pages can dramatically lower its value.

Flashback Ghostbusters? by Mick Harper

1. Besides being the title of a 1962 hit song, what else was Beechwood 4-5789? 2. Name the Bert Kaempfert instrumental that climbed higher on the charts than the song did when lyrics were added. 3. Name the only No. 1 song by Ray Parker, Jr. (No, it wasn’t Ghostbusters.) 4. What do the initials stand for in the R&B band L.T.D.? 5. Name the song that contains this lyric: “We’re doing what we can, but if you want money for people with minds that hate, All I can tell you is, brother, you have to wait.” Answers 1. A phone number. Telephone exchanges used to be known by words, using the first two letters of the name in place of numbers. Today this one would be 234-5789. 2. Wonderland By Night, in 1961. The song stayed on top for three weeks.

Marla will bring evenhandedness, fairness, and respect to the bench along with her legal experience:

The hard-rock version was the b-side to Hey Jude, while the slower version was on the Beatles’ White Album.

Pet Care Dog Needs A Safe Haven by Sam Mazzotta

Dear Paw’s Corner: My 2-year-old, mixed-breed spaniel, Dougie, is terrified of thunderstorms, loud noises— you name it. I really want him to enjoy our summer parties, but he cowers as far away from the backyard as possible. How can I keep him calm? —Greg in Fort Myers, Florida Dear Greg: Um, don’t. I think it’s very rare to find a dog that is confident and happy and unaffected by loud bangs and weird lights. Most dogs are completely freaked out by thunderstorms and similar loud noises. By freaked out, I mean extremely stressed. The aftereffect of that stress can impact your dog for hours, days, weeks—even months. It can manifest in a number of ways, from separation anxiety to soiling in the house and even aggressive behavior. Why even think about putting Dougie through that? Instead of trying to coerce Dougie out of the safe space where he hides during storms, emphasize to him that it’s totally okay to go to that space. Put soft bedding down, some toys, water

and food dishes nearby, along with an article of clothing with your scent on it. Give him a small treat each time he goes to his safe space, and one when he exits. During a thunderstorm, spend time in that space with or near him. Consider purchasing a Thundershirt, which many dog owners swear by. Send your questions or pet care tips to ask@pawscorner.com

What’s In The Stars For The Week Of August 15 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You're not Sheepish when it comes to asserting your opinions on what you think is right or wrong. You're being heard, and something positive will follow. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your sense of justice makes it difficult not to speak up about a recurring matter involving a co-worker. You need facts to back you up before you can act. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Romance is still dominant, and if Cupid misfired before, don't worry. He'll take better aim at someone this time. Expect good news about a financial matter. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The zodiac's Moon Children can expect things to work out pretty much as planned. One negative note involves a minor relationship problem. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You're suddenly asked to make choices between two practically equal offers. Which one to choose? Easy. The one most likely to gladden your Lion's heart. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Once again, you're confronted by a workplace problem you thought you had already resolved. This time, you might need to go higher up.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You're determined to stick with your goals and ignore those naysayers who might try to discourage you. You're on the right track. The challenge now is to stay on it. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You'll soon get news that is supposed to help you with a troublesome situation. Use your sharp Scorpion instincts to determine if the information is reliable. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) If you learn someone has betrayed your trust, don't just accept it and walk away. You need to know why that person decided to do what he or she did. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) A painful family relationship problem could finally begin to heal. Be prepared to show more flexibility than you might like. It could be worth it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) It's a good idea to enhance your career skills so you'll be prepared to accept a more responsible position. A friend returns a favor just when you need it. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Show that strong, steely backbone that you usually hide, and demand to be included in any family decision-making that could affect the well-being of a loved one.
