Birthdays! emember when you only thought of a birthday as a day of celebration? Somehow, the dates of our birth have become very important to our governing bodies, a time when we are notified that auto insurance and home insurance is due, drivers licenses need to be renewed, etc. Now almost all costly things come due just before that special day. Just a few weeks ago, a friend called to say he went to get his drivers license renewed and learned that his eyesight had become far less than he imagined. He was denied the privilege of driving and was hurtfully aware of a big change in his life. (Thank goodness his wife can still drive.) A few weeks went by and suddenly I received the insurance notices for home and auto that needed payment, as well as information that my drivers license is due for renewal. The drivers license package included paperwork for an eye examination for mature drivers, to be filled in and signed by your examining optometrist/ ophthalmologist… or, there was an alternative… to have your eyes examined at the Driver’s License Bureau. There was paperwork to fill out and then the act of learning where the Bureau now exists. It turned out to be in the Sunshine Mall. When I learned where it was, I drove the fifteen miles south with the papers and my current drivers license in my hand. Awaiting their turns for licenses were about forty or fifty people. As you approached the desk, you were given a number and when that number was called, you were told which station to go to. It was very well run. The only problem for me was that, when my number came up, the paperwork and my current license were not enough. I was asked for my social security card (no), a voters registration card

You Name It …by Kitty Maiden

(no), a passport (no), a birth certificate (no) and only then did I realize that turning in the old license, getting an eye exam and having a picture taken for the new license was not enough. I spent the next week going through stacks of saved papers. Then I made an appointment with the ‘eye’ doctor and took the provided paper with me for the results to be filled in.

A week later, I went south again with most of the aforementioned items. It was then that, in addition, the receptionist asked for two pieces of mail with my current address. I thought “Oh no! I didn’t bring mail”—but I was lucky. My birth certificate was in an envelope addressed to my current address as well as the envelope containing all the license paperwork. I mentioned this in case some of you find yourself lacking credentials when it comes time to renew your license. Look for everything, then add 2 current address pieces of mail with you. I got my license renewed!

August 24, 2018—Seniors Today—Page 5 What Happens When Original Will Is Lost? amily members often have a copy of the decedent’s will, but are unable to locate the original will. Some attorneys will safe-keep original estate planning documents for their clients. Clients who hold their original documents may place them in their own safe or safety deposit box. At times the original will cannot be located after death. Under Florida law, “...when an original will that is known to have existed cannot be located after the death of the decedent, the presumption is that the testator destroyed the will with the intent to revoke it.” In re Estate of Parker, 382 So. 2d 652, 653 (Fla. 1980). To overcome the presumption that the testator did not intentionally destroy their original will testimony must be presented to the court. Section 733.207, Florida Statutes, states “Any interested person may establish the full and precise terms of a lost or destroyed will and offer the will for probate. The specific content of the will must be proven by the testimony of two disinterested witnesses, or, if a correct copy is provided, it shall be proved by one disinterested witness.” If a copy of the will and/or disinterested witnesses cannot be located, then the decedent’s estate will pass to the heirs at law. When a decedent dies intestate (i.e., without leaving a will) Florida law states who

Elder Law …by Michael A. Pyle

receives the decedent’s assets. If the decedent is not survived by a spouse the intestate share of the estate descends in order, as follows: (1) descendants of the decedent; (2) parents; (3) brothers and sisters and descendants of deceased brothers and sisters; (4) grandparents; (5) uncles and aunts and descendants of deceased uncles and aunts of the decedent; (6) if there are no maternal or paternal kindred then the estate shall go to the other kindred who survive; (7) if there is no maternal or paternal kindred who survive, then the intestate estate shall go to the kindred of the last deceased spouse. §732.103, Florida Statutes. It is important that family members know the location of your original will to avoid the above consequences.

Life has never looked better at...

M. Pressions & X. Planations by Peggy Goldtrap n the words of the famous philosopher, Yogi Berra, ‘It ain’t over ‘til it’s over.’ The last act on the stage of life stars Seniors. The golden years get tarnished if the nest egg cracks. ReTIREment can be a drain. Our bodies were not designed for longterm use or abuse. When Arth Ritis moves into our neighborhood; when N. Somnia drops in at night; when Sir Cumstances raise our blood pressure, when N. Securities burn holes in our stomachs, we ask ‘is this all there is?’ These visitors arrive as intruders demanding attention and gratification. D. Clining health dumps our bucket lists. Evil D. Mentia, wheedles his way into daily activities, erasing memories as he goes. All of this is a Debbie Downer if we dwell in her house too long. When your ‘git up and go has got up and went,’ it’s easy to feel useless, worthless, spent, and chronically fatigued. Conversations turn to how good things ‘used to be’ not how good things are ‘going to be’ in the future. We need to mix a mood-shake made with N. Credible thoughts and N. Satiable curiosity. D. Feat and D. Spair. Thomas Edison, a close friend of N. Dustry and N. Deavor, lost his hearing in childhood, but a handicap never hindered him from searching, inventing, experimenting, wondering. Edison, the man with a million ideas was called Genius but he rejected the identity: ‘Genius is 99 percent perspiration and 1 percent inspiration.’ Seniors today are the most plugged-in society in history sharing N. Formation with the universe. Seniors use cell phones, computers, remote controls, credit cards, GPS, ATM’s, & chalkboards. Seniors text, Twitter, Tweet, SnapChat, and Hulu. A wily codger opined, ‘If there’s anything I don’t know, I don’t know what it is.’ What we don’t know, we Google. We X. Plore, X. Pand, and N. Vestigate the world from a recliner. The best lessons are often delivered by M. Barrassment. Ever ‘opened mouth, inserted foot’? Ever swallowed pride and choked back tears? Ever moaned: ‘I shouldn’t... but you did anyway? Ever seen a spark of genius go up in smoke? Life is a bumpy ride. The face we see in the morning mirror is not the dewy-

Happy Talk …by George & Peggy Goldtrap eyed girl of twenty. The body we dubbed The Hulk is jelly-belly bulk. The stilettos we adored as sexy trigger, leg cramps at night. The bikini tattoo from Navy days is freckled and speckled with age spots. If our body is a Temple, it may be time for renovation.

As long as there is breath in us, we can love and express gratitude, encourage others, relay wisdom, and graciously receive help if needed. When we lose our ability to be servants we can humbly become the served. When we can’t see we can touch. When we can’t hear we can read. When we can’t reason, we provide opportunity for able-bodied caretakers. We will always be X. Ceptional, M. Portant, and N. Dispensible to someone. Years ago, while riding a motorbike through the Loop, a grand-son asked GAG: ‘Papa, what are you going to be when you grow up?’ GAG mused: ‘I don’t know, I’ve never given it much thought.’ Like GAG, keep the twinkle in your eyes and the joy in your heart. Make M. Agination, D. Termination, N. Thusiasm, X. Citement, An Ticipation, N. Spiration welcome guests in your house. Show gnarly old D. Pression the door; give a swift kick to A.

eniors take their civic duty of voting seriously. A primary election is just as important so be sure to cast your vote on Tuesday, August 28. Here is some voting information provided by the Volusia County Department of Elections to help you. What is the Primary Election? The 2018 Primary Election is held 10 weeks before the General Election. In the Primary Election, voters registered with one of Florida’s political parties express their preference for the candidates they would like to see representing their party on the General Election ballot in November. In addition, all voters, regardless of party affiliation, may vote in nonpartisan races on the ballot (such as school boards). When is the Primary Election? Florida’s Primary Election is August 28, 2018. Eligible voters can vote-bymail, vote during early voting, or vote at the polls on Election Day. Who can vote in the Primary Election? Florida is a closed primary state. Only voters who are registered members of political parties may vote for respective candidates for an office in a primary election. However, there are times when all registered voters can vote in a primary election, regardless of which political party they are registered with or even if they are registered without party affiliation: If all the candidates for an office have the same party affiliation and the winner of the primary election will not face any opposition in the general election, then all registered voters can vote for any of the candidates for that office in the primary election. If races for nonpartisan (i.e. free from party affiliation) judicial and school board offices, nonpartisan special districts or referendum questions are on the primary election ballot, then all registered voters, including those without party affiliation are entitled to vote those races on the ballot. When is the deadline to register to vote or update my party affiliation for the Primary Election? The registration deadline for the 2018 Primary Election was Monday, July 30, 2018. However, you can still register to vote in the General Election if you are not already registered.

What candidates and races will be on my Primary Ballot? For specific information about what will be on your ballot, refer to your county Supervisor of Elections’ website or contact your county Supervisor of Elections office to obtain a sample ballot. Election Day Voting On Election Day, polls will be open statewide from 7 A.M. until 7 P.M. Any voters waiting in line at 7 P.M. will have the opportunity to cast a ballot. If you do not know where your polling place is, contact your county Supervisor of Elections. You can also find your precinct and polling place on your county Supervisor of Elections’ website or by using the Check Your Voter Status webpage. What kinds of ID are accepted at the Polling Place? According to Florida law, whether during early voting or on Election Day, voters will be asked to provide a current and valid photo ID at the polls. Any one of the following 12 IDs will be accepted: • Florida driver’s license • Florida identification card issued by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles • United States passport • Debit or credit card • Military identification • Student identification • Retirement center identification • Neighborhood association identification • Public assistance identification • Veteran health identification card issued by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs • License to carry a concealed weapon or firearm pursuant to s.790.06 F.S. • Employee identification card issued by any branch, department, agency, or entity of the federal government, the state, a county, or a municipality. If your photo ID does not include your signature, you will be asked to provide another ID that has your signature. If you do not bring a proper ID, you can still vote a provisional ballot. As long as you are eligible and voted in the proper precinct, your provisional ballot will count provided the signature on your provisional ballot matches the signature in your registration record.

What’s In The Stars For The Week Of August 27 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) There might still be some uncertainty about the decision you made. A quick check of the facts should reassure you that you're doing the right thing. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The tidy Taurean needs to be a little more flexible about accepting some changes to those carefully made plans. You might be pleasantly surprised by what follows. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Consider stepping away from your concentrated focus on your new project for a bit so you can get some perspective on what you've done and where you plan go. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The understandably angry Crab might not want to accept that someone might have tried to hurt you. At least you'll have an insight into why it happened. LEO (July 23 to August 22) There might be some facts you still need to know before leaping onto center stage. Best to move carefully so that you can observe what's happening around you. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) It's a good time to expand your outlook by getting out and around, whether you do some long-range traveling or just explore the great things to see closer to home.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your wise counsel continues to be needed as that family situation works itself out. Meanwhile, the decisions you made on your job begin to pay off quite nicely. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Your job situation brightens thanks to all your hard work. Now, spend some time repairing a personal relationship you might have neglected for too long. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Aspects favor action in the workplace. Line up your facts and show your superiors why you're the one they're looking for. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Your hard work pays off on the job. Personal relationships also can benefit from more of your time and attention. Spend the weekend with loved ones. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Early feedback on your project might be disappointing. Don't be discouraged. Use it to make needed adjustments, then submit it to your superiors again. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Flattery could lure the otherwise sensible Fish into making an unwise decision. Be careful. All that praise might reel you in before you can learn the facts.

August 24, 2018—Seniors Today—Page11 Life Of Marci Part Two Chapter 7 or several minutes Cora Mae stood and watched Marci and held Isaiah, Jr. While standing there watching Marci and holding Isaiah, Jr. she could feel her on grief starting to overcome her. She knew better than to allow the grief to take control, but at that moment it did not seem to matter that she had all of these responsibilities to be the strong person in the family. Tears began to roll down her face and dampen the blanket she had Isaiah, Jr. wrapped in as she held him in her arms. Isaiah, Jr. was the only thing that connected her to her dead son and she stopped looking at Marci and looked down at her grandson. He was quietly sleeping and as she starred at him the grief rose in her body and she could no longer hold back the sorrow she felt at the loss of her son. It would be the first time she had allowed the grief to overcome her and she let out a loud wail and slipped down to her knees still holding on to Isaiah, Jr. Cora Mae’s loud voice did not startle him. He laid in her arms and looked up to her with his dark blue eyes. The same color eyes of his father. The noise that Cora Mae made caught Marci off guard as she stood staring into the water of the creek. She had been thinking about Isaiah, Sr. when she realized someone was standing behind her. As she turned around she could see Cora Mae on the hill above her holding her son and crying. Marci understood the crying coming from Cora Mae. It is hard to lose someone that you love as much as life itself, she too was experiencing the same grief. Cora Mae had been so strong through the whole ordeal that seeing her breakdown like that caught Marci totally off guard. In that moment and for the first time, Marci understood just how important Isaiah, Jr. was to Cora Mae as she watched her cling to him as she cried. She realized not only was he the only one that could carry on the Dalton name, something she knew Frank and Cora Mae wanted so badly, but he was the last connection to their son. Marci climbed the little hill above the creek to where Cora Mae was kneeling clinging to Isaiah, Jr. Only the sounds of Cora Mae crying could be heard in the Oak hammock. It was as if the birds and animals that could normally be heard had grown quiet to allow Cora Mae to release her grief into the woods. Marci placed her hand on Cora Mae’s shoulder when she reached her at the top of the hill. Cora Mae turned and looked up at her with tears flowing down her cheek. “I am so sorry that we brought you away from your family to such a foreign place,” Cora Mae said softly gasping for each breath between the words and the grief that was now spilling out of her. Marci did not respond to Cora Mae and just stood holding her by the shoulder.

Winding Roads …by Byron Spires

“This is more that anyone person should have to deal with. I have lost all of my children and all I have left is the precious little boy to remind me of all of my losses,” she said as she wiped away the tears with Isaiah, Jr.’s blanket. “I know this is hard on you and I understand we are both grieving for Isaiah, Sr. I don’t understand why things have happened like they have, but I know there must be a reason,” Marci said as she too began to cry. After a few minutes Marci was able to help Cora Mae to stand. She took Isaiah, Jr. from Cora Mae and held him close against her. He had not offered to cry during the whole ordeal and was now looking around as if fascinated by the blue sky that was peeking through the canopy of the hammock. The only sounds that could be heard were of the two women’s faint sniffling from their long bout of crying and the coying sounds of Isaiah, Jr. Cora Mae had started to gather her composure and Marci could tell that Isaiah, Jr. was starting to get restless. “We need to take Isaiah, Jr, back to the house, I believe he needs changing,” Marci said as she checked his diaper, Cora Mae nodded that she agreed and the two began to walk back along the trail toward the house. At the barn, Frank was still raking hay when they passed. “You found her I see,” Frank said to Cora Mae. “Yes, she was just out for a walk along the creek,” Cora Mae responded back to him. As they neared the house Cora Mae reached over and with her hand stopped Marci. “We need to talk for a second,” Cora Mae said to her. “Okay” Marci said as she stopped and turned to face Cora Mae. “I would prefer that we not talk about what happened in the Hammock today,” Cora Mae said to her. “Why, isn’t it normal to grieve after you lose someone,” Marci asked her. “That may be true for most folks, but for me and Frank it doesn’t really happen. I just lost my self-control for a few minutes is all? I’m alright now, so I had just as soon like to forget the whole ordeal,” Cora Mae said with a sternness in her voice, she had not heard before. “If that is the way you want it, that’s fine with me,” Marci said as she pulled away from Cora Mae and headed into the house.

ennis started in the 12th century and was played without a racquet. The ball was hit with the hand. It was not until the 16th century that the game was called tennis and players used a racquet. By the 1960s, important tennis matches were open to both amateurs and professionals, and winning players got a large sum of money as a prize. There are many collectibles from early tennis events as well as equipment from the past 100 years. Since about 1870, some steins, vases, plates, and even figurines pictured players and other tennis scenes. Old balls and racquets, even appropriate tennis clothing, are wanted. One of the most unusual tennis items sold recently is a pre-1950s tennisracquet weather vane. It was made of copper and included copper-wire racquet strings. The racquet was attached to a mounting rod with a tennis-ball top. The weather vane sold at a James Julia auction for $1,815. It probably will be installed near a tennis court. *** Q: I have a tiny bisque doll, which is about four inches tall. It has molded hair, painted brown eyes, and rope joints. Marked on the back is Sarah S. Putnam, Germany. I'd like to know who this is and the age of the doll. It is in perfect condition.

A: Your doll was designed by Grace (not Sarah) S. Putnam. Born in California, Grace Storey Putnam (1877-1947) was divorced and trying to earn some money when she started designing dolls' heads. In 1922, she copyrighted a wax doll's head designed to look like the head of a 3-day-old infant. Within a couple of years, the doll, called Bye-Lo Baby, went into production, distributed by George Borgfeldt & Co., a New York importer. The first dolls' heads were bisque and made in Germany. Bodies were cloth, made by the K & K Toy Co., a subsidiary of Borgfeldt, which also assembled them. They came in several sizes. Later, heads were composition, wood, vinyl, wax, or celluloid, made in Germany or the U.S. Other dolls were all bisque, all composition or a combination. They were sold until 1952. Your doll's value depends on size, condition, age, and head and body type. Your doll was made sometime after 1925 and is worth about $200.

Pet Care Boyfriend Accept 3-Legged Dog? by Sam Mazzotta

Dear Paw's Corner: A few months ago, I adopted a sweet little mixedbreed dog from the shelter. Jasper had been abandoned and was brought in after being hit by a car. He lost one of his hind legs. He's a great little guy, but somewhat fearful of strangers, and I'm working with him on that. Here's the problem: I'm getting back into the dating game a couple of years after a really tough divorce. I've gotta admit, I'm somewhat fearful of strangers myself after that experience! I'm less worried about me, and more about whether a new boyfriend would accept Jasper. I know you're a pet advice columnist, not a relationship adviser, but how would you introduce Jasper to any dates I bring home? —John C. in Atlanta Dear John: You clearly love Jasper and are very proud of his progress. He's a member of your family—even if the family unit is just the two of you right now. If you think highly enough of a date to bring him home, then you should

Page14—Seniors Today—August 24, 2018 Make Safety A Priority For Schoolchildren ow that our children and grandchildren have returned to school, it’s a time of new beginnings. It’s also the perfect time for me to remind everyone to be extra careful now that school has resumed. It begins with traffic safety on our roads, especially near schools. My deputies are out in force across Volusia County to enforce traffic laws and ensure students’ safety. Deputies are extra vigilant watching for speeders and reckless driving, especially in school zones. We have more than 70 public schools in Volusia County where drivers should be prepared to slow down at school zones and keep an eye out for unpredictable children. Remember: When children or crossing guards are in a crosswalk, drivers must stop at the marked stop line. If you’re not picking up or dropping off a child at school, avoid school zones if possible. With more kids on the roads and sidewalks all over Volusia County, drivers must get back in the habit of slowing down and paying close attention to their surroundings. No texting and driving. No distracted driving, period. The same advice goes for students: If you are distracted by your phone and you walk in front of a moving vehicle, that vehicle may not have time to stop. You could be injured or killed. Drivers have to slow down and pay attention, no matter what. The moment you look down at your phone might be the moment an innocent child steps into the road. In addition, following the tragic shootings on Valentine’s Day in South Florida, we have a new state law requiring armed security on every school campus. Every school in Volusia County has an armed guardian, deputy, or municipal police officer on campus to keep our students and teachers safe. Deputies will once again increase traffic enforcement to reduce speeding, prevent crosswalk violations, and stop drivers from passing stopped school buses. Remember: It's illegal to pass a bus on an undivided roadway if it is stopped to load or unload children. If the highway is divided by a raised barrier or an unpaved median at least five feet wide, you don’t have to stop if you are moving in the opposite direction of the bus. Once again, everyone is reminded to please put away phones, iPods, gaming devices, and other electronics while on the move. Please don’t text and drive—and if you’re a pedestrian or bicyclist, please don’t text and travel! It’s not worth the risk. Car crashes are the leading cause of death for teens in the United States, and nearly one in four fatal crashes involving teen drivers occurs during the after-school hours. The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office offers a Teen Driving Challenge that trains teenage drivers to avoid deadly traffic crashes. For more information about this eight-hour course, visit volusiasheriff.org Here Are More Safety Reminders To Practice Now That School Has Begun: If you drive your children to school: • Be sure to use the appropriate parent drop-off/pick-up area. Follow the instructions of the school’s staff.

Lic.# HHA299993864

From The Sheriff …Volusia County Sheriff Chitwood • Drive defensively. Always anticipate the possibility that a child may dart in front of your vehicle. Be prepared to stop at all times. • During the first couple of weeks, expect traffic patterns around and near schools to be very congested. Leave a few minutes early and plan for extra drive time. • Slow down and watch out for school zones and children walking or biking to school or congregating near bus stops. Also, be alert for student drivers. • Obey all posted speed limits. • Be especially careful in areas with parked vehicles on the side of the road. Children crossing between vehicles may be difficult for you to see. • When turning at an intersection, be sure to yield to all pedestrians and cyclists. If your child is walking to school or a bus stop, plan a safe route and make sure your child knows and can navigate it safely. Choose the most direct route with the fewest street crossings. If a school crossing guard is available, be sure your child crosses at that location. If your child or grandchild is young or is walking to a new school, walk the route with them beforehand and continue to walk with them until they’re comfortable. If you’re a student riding the bus: • Stay out of the street while waiting for the bus. • Wait for the bus to come to a complete stop and the doors open before approaching the bus from the curb. • Stay in clear view of the bus driver. Never walk behind the bus. • Look both ways before crossing the street to get on the bus. • After getting off the bus, look both ways and then move immediately onto the sidewalk and out of traffic. If you’re a student walking or biking to school: • For bike riders, wear a properly-fitted helmet at all times. Research shows this can reduce the risk of head injury up to 85 percent. Also, riders should use a bike that’s the right size for them and make sure they don’t have any loose clothing, drawstrings, or shoelaces. • Bike riders should ride on the right, in the same direction as traffic, and use appropriate hand signals. Bicyclists also should respect traffic lights and stop signs. • For safety, walk or bike with a friend. • Walk on sidewalks where available. • Always cross streets at intersections. • Bicyclists and walkers should wear bright clothing to make them more visible. • To avoid distractions, bikers, and walkers shouldn’t use a cell phone or headphones. Absolutely no texting! It’s a brand-new school year. Please help us keep our community safe by practicing these simple suggestions and stay alert. Students, let’s make this a great year! Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood

Humane Society Update Helping Your Puppy Stop Chewing by Hailey Hudson o you have a puppy who chews? If so, I feel your pain. My beagle/ basset puppy, Sophie, does not just chew—she CHEWS. Sophie chewed everything. Basically, anything that came into the house was fair game. Your puppy is adorable when you first bring it home, but when the puppy gets comfortable in your house, they will probably start acting up. Redirect Their Attention—When your puppy begins gnawing on something that’s not for them, firmly tell them “no.” After correcting them, offer them one of their toys, something that’s meant for chewing. No Chew Spray—If your dog comes back to chew on the same spot time after time–maybe the leg of your bed, or the edge of the couch, or the springy doorstop behind the front door—and you need a deterrent to discourage your dog from chewing that specific spot, try a No Chew Spray. It’s water-based and free of alcohol, meaning it won’t sting skin (animal owners also use this product to stop animals from licking wounds or hot spots) and it won’t stain your furniture. Unfortunately, reviewers have reported their dogs growing used to the taste and chewing whatever they wanted, so be aware this may not be a permanent solution–but it could buy you some time as you puppy-proof the house. If you’re looking to DIY and save money, try making homemade bitter apple spray, which should produce the same effects as no chew spray. To make the spray, mix two cups of apple cider vinegar (most dogs hate the tart taste) with 1 cup of plain white vinegar and shake vigorously. If you don’t have apple cider vinegar, substitute lemon juice; again, the tart taste seems to deter dogs, and lemon juice will make your furniture smell much more pleasant than apple cider vinegar will. Provide Ample Stimulation—According to the ASPCA, puppies chew primarily to alleviate pain caused by teeth coming in. As a dog owner, it’s your job to make sure your puppy has enough stimulation that they don’t feel the need to chew anything they shouldn’t. Give your puppy textured chew toys (typically a soft toy is better than a hard one), a wet washcloth, or an ice cube to ease pain. Most puppies have their adult teeth by the time they are six months of age. The need for stimulation doesn’t end when your puppy grows up, though: once they’re through teething, they may continue chewing out of boredom. Clean Up After Yourself—It’s a simple concept, really: if your prized possessions are behind a closed door or up high out of your dog’s reach, your dog can’t chew them up. “Drop it”—is a basic command that’s taught in every puppy school, but it’s probably one of the hardest commands to mas-

ter, because so many things just look so darn tempting to a puppy’s eyes! If your puppy gets something small in its mouth before you can get the item away, firmly tell them to drop it. Theoretically, they’ll obey, and you can avoid the kind of expensive surgeries that would ensue if they swallowed it. Tire Out Your Dog—Chewing can be due to boredom, so making sure your dog is occupied. If they’re stimulated, and subsequently exhausted, finding something to do will be the last thing on their mind: they’ll just want to sleep. If your dog isn’t into walks, either, a nice long session of fetch in the backyard should do the trick just as well. The thought of teaching your puppy not to chew can be a daunting one–but if I could get my incorrigible Sophie to stop eating everything in sight, I’m confident you can train your puppy, too.

Veteran’s Post Loose Change fter a 15-year scam, the owner/operator of a parking lot company was accused of defrauding the Department of Veterans Affairs of more than $13 million. The parking lots were part of the VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System, mostly the one near Westwood. The owner had a contract to run the lots for the VA, and in return he'd hand over 60 percent of the gross revenue. He was to submit annual reports about the money taken in, as well as document any improvements he'd made, which would cut down on what he owed the VA. The parking lot owner had someone on the inside—inside the VA contracting office. Their relationship went on for 11 years, with the owner handing over nearly $300,000 in bribes. Ever hear of keeping a double set of books? The owner did, with the phony books shown to the VA. He failed to report the cash from the parking lots, which amounted to

17 Sept. 11th • 9:11 A.M.

F UNERAL H OMES , P.A. 167 Ridgewood Ave. • Holly Hill 386.253.7601

untold millions of dollars. Then, when it came to expenses for the parking lots, he marked them up by 600 percent. He told the VA he'd spent $11.6 million in improvements, when his clean set of books showed he'd actually spent only $1.4 million. Where did the money go? The owner took $3.1 million in salary, $470,000 in travel expenses and $413,000 in meals and entertainment. He purchased three condos in Santa Monica, expensive cars like Ferraris and vintage Corvettes, and a racing boat. He had some accounts with over $1 million in them and $213,000 in change at his house. What bothers me, as it does with most of the deals when thieves are nailed for stealing from the VA, is the short jail time. After a plea agreement, the owner is likely to get only 70 months behind bars. Write to Freddy Groves in care of King Features Weekly Service, P.O.
