Straight Down The Middle he state of Virginia has a long southern border, going east from the Atlantic, the major length of the border being North Carolina. It touches many states and next to the west end there is a special connection to the state of Tennessee and that’s an awesome point of interest. The last several years, Bristol has become noted for having the NASCAR Speedway, thus, many more people have become familiar with the city. The most unique thing is that right in the middle of downtown Bristol is the Virginia /Tennessee border so the main street is called State Street. One side adheres to the laws of Virginia; the other follows the laws of Tennessee. When cigarettes were popular, everyone went to the Virginia side to buy for they were about 25 cents a pack... more in Tennessee. One year we heard that State Street, the main drag, had the traffic set to be going oneway. That would make it nearly impossible to stop a traffic violator for all he would have to do is move into the next lane… that belonged to the other state. Needless to say, if they tried that, it failed for traffic is both ways now, as usual. On the east end of State Street is a sign originally erected around 1910. It was always there and finally, with it’s new motto, it was placed high across State Street at the railroad crossing. It reads: BRISTOL VA. TENN. A Good Place To Live. This is the town where Tennessee Ernie Ford was raised. He was a radio announcer there at one point in his life. Whenever there was a fire, the whole town heard an alarm. Then all you had to do was turn on your radio and hear Ernie say something like: “Robert C. Boswell and Company brings you the location of the fire for which the alarm sounded a few moments ago.” He would give the location and residents would wonder if people rushed to where the fire took place. During winter snows, there was a big difference in how each state reacted. On the Virginia side of town, out came the snow plows as soon as snow became a problem. On the Tennessee side, snow plows weren’t available to come to the rescue.

You Name It …by Kitty Maiden
Your friends in a town like this are wonderful! You do things together, like sharing an outdoor barbecue on a nice breezy day, going to Crystal Pool… (wonder if it is still there?), hiking through the mountains, going to Abingdon for a Barter Theatre production. Oh, and speaking of the Barter Theatre, many famous stars had their beginning there… like Gregory Peck of To Kill A Mocking Bird. The theatre began in 1933, in the middle of the country’s great depression. The idea grew from Bob Porterfield, when on Broadway, theatres went dark and actors found themselves out of work. Farmers were stuck with crops they could not sell. That’s when Porterfield came up with a plan to bring actors to Abingdon to barter their performances for farm goods. Admission was paid by locals with their farming items. Hence, the name Barter. He said, “with vegetables you cannot sell, you can buy a good laugh!” Actors were kept busy onstage and off. If they weren’t a part of a current play, they contributed to the theatre’s success working on scenery, collecting props, directing, and working in the cafeteria at the Barter Inn where members of the troupe boarded. There’s so much more to a town like Bristol, and surrounding areas. It was a great place to grow a family. I… a long time resident of central Florida… love where we live and often say of Bristol… “It’s a Great Place to Be from!” Kitty Maiden is a staff writer for Seniors Today.

Antiques Polaroid Camera Q: I have a Polaroid Speedliner Land Camera, Model 95A. It was originally purchased in the 1950s and is complete with leather case and all the accessories. I would like to know its value. —Kathleen, New York A: Most Polaroid cameras have little or no value, due to the fact that film for them is impossible to find. According to several price guides I consulted, Polaroid cameras seem to be selling in the $10 to $20 range. As with most collectibles, there are always exceptions. For example, collectors generally focus on the 110 series, the 180, and 195. The SX-70 foldable cameras are selling for less than $20 in my region. *** Q: My cousin had a large collection of Mayfair Depression Glass. I have two questions: When and where was this set made? —Wanda, Flagstaff, Arizona A: The Mayfair pattern was manufactured by the Federal Glass Company in 1934. The plant was located in Columbus, Ohio. Incidentally, the set came in three colors: amber, crystal, and green. Q: We have a 1939 Philco console radio. It is in a walnut cabinet and is the 39-116 model. I have been offered $600 for it. —Ken, Kentucky A: Take the money and run. According to the Collector's Guide To Antique Radios
by John Slusser (Collector Books, $19.95), your radio is worth $220 to $250. *** Q: I sent a letter to an expert you mentioned in your column. After three weeks I still have not received an answer. I thought you should know this. —Bob, Texas A: Many of the people I mention in this column are nationally and internationally known experts who receive piles of mail. Many have told me that they only answer letters that contain a self-addressed, stamped envelope. First of all, did you enclose a SASE? If so, be prepared to wait a reasonable time. What is reasonable? That depends on the expert. I once received an answer from an art appraiser almost a year after I had sent my original letter to him. Keep in mind, the advice you're requesting is free—except for your postage costs—so be patient.

Holland, CFP®, CPA/PFS, ChFC®, CTFA Effective financial planning and money management is an area that many families neglect by default.

It’s All Their Fault by Peggy Goldtrap f you’re a regular reader of Seniors Today you were probably born in oppression. Remember when you criss-crossed a neighbor’s yard, they’d yell at you for trespassing and killing the grass. Yeah, those days when a kid was considered a wild thing that needed taming. No doubt the neighborhood watch prevented you from riding to Juvie in a ’38 Ford. Like you, I didn’t ask to be born. I never met my parents until I was pulled kicking and screaming into a cold world, then slapped seconds after my arrival. My parents were total strangers, why should I care for them. I couldn’t walk or talk, so I had no say in any of their decisions. I was an innocent bystander, a victim. It’s not my fault that my dad worked hard so my mother could become a great homemaker and an awesome cook. She forced me to eat cereal when I wasn’t hungry, and drink milk which I bubbled all over my bib. The wringer washer worked overtime because of me. As I grew, my momma insisted I take big bites of the world’s best banana pudding, then as a threat, she cajoled me into seconds. Horribly, she’d let me lick the pudding from the pan. When hens committed suicide just to be in my momma’s frying pan, she’d plop two plump, crispy, sizzling, fat friendly pieces on my plate; two legs and a gizzard, my favorites. To make matters worse, she made milk gravy to pour over her fluffy, hot biscuits and angel light, cream whipped mashed potatoes. When I was sick, what did she do? Feed me, of course, whatever I wanted. “Here, take a little bite, you’ll feel better.” Years later she chided, “Quit taking such big bites, you’ll get sick.” Trickster, temptress, dangling desserts in front of my eyes, and then ripping them away in favor of fruits. “Fat is not my fault. It’s in my jeans.” My parents forced me to attend school even though I knew much more than them. I studied Latin. My dad insisted I learn to type. “You can always get a job if you’re a fast typist.” I pictured Hell as rows and rows of typewriters I was condemned to tap for all eternity. We warred. He won. I type today on the computer and it’s his fault I’m fast. My parents expected me to work and earn money when most of my friends were at the lake, or in the mall. On weekends I had to stay home and clean my room, ugh! My dad taught me to balance a checkbook and pay bills. Can you imagine? Why take the time and patience to teach? It was not something I asked him to do, no sirree, he did that on his own. He and my momma were real killjoys when it came to money; always nagging me about thrift and saving and living within my means, whatever that meant. Oh yeah, and that delayed gratification stuff they repeated. My relatives were part of the parents’ plot. They feigned interest in my future.
I
Happy Talk …by George & Peggy Goldtrap Teachers pushed me to achievement. “No way,” I reasoned. Study, study, study, too much effort. The teachers are only following their job description. So my life went on, one boring event after another until I went to college, away from home, finally free. Hurrah! I can do, go, and be whatever I want. Unfortunately, by that time, I was tainted by positive influences. I could not “forget” homework. The “dog ate it” excuse didn’t work anymore. The burning desire to be a goof-off fizzled no matter how hard I flamed the fires of mediocrity. My parents, friends, teachers, extended family had ruined any chance I ever had at failure. The circle of meanies even influenced romantic relationships. Their rules and standards affected my choice of spouse, my mate of almost 50 years. The meanies nitpicked faithfulness, loving kindness, nurturing, and tenderness. Can you believe that they taught me to treat others, including my husband, like I’d want to be treated myself? What goes around comes around Blah, blah, blah! They wouldn’t quit! Virtue, truth, justice, honor, fidelity! They nagged the devil out of me. It was their fault that I inflicted my children with those same old-fashioned values; drumming morals into their conscience, traumatizing them with Biblical stories, epic characters, mythical heroes; consequences of actions. In the tradition of turn about is fair play, and because my free spirit was disciplined, my children were also corrected from top to bottom. I can only imagine what might have happened, how rich my life experiences might have been. Since I was never allowed to “find” myself, what have I lost? I’ll never know. It’s too late to change now. I’m set in my ways, just like them. It’s all their fault for having such high expectations of me, for “setting the bar” high. I’ll probably live and die a reasonably responsible, reasonably up-right, passionate, compassionate human being who loves multitudes of people inside and outside the family. No doubt, you, the reader, can relate and remember the old days when children were to be seen, not heard. When an idle mind was the devil’s workshop and we didn’t want to be in his employ. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, it’s their fault that our dreams and realizations of the good life have come true. As therapy, why don’t you call, write, or send this article to some of those busybodies, caring critics who never stopped believing in you. It’s time you gave them a piece of your mind. Dear, whoever, it’s all your fault I’ve been blessed. Thank You.

National Dog Day—August 26 Special to Seniors Today ational Dog Day is celebrated August 26th annually and was founded in 2004 by Pet & Family Lifestyle Expert and Animal Advocate, Colleen Paige, to bring attention to the plight of animals and encourage adoption. The date of August 26th is significant, as it's the date that Colleen's family adopted her first dog Sheltie when Colleen was 10 years old. This holiday celebrates all dogs, mixed breed and pure. Our mission is to help galvanize the public to recognize the number of dogs that need to be rescued each year and acknowledges family dogs and dogs that work selflessly each day to save lives, keep us safe, and bring comfort. Dogs put their lives on the line every day for personal protection, for law enforcement, for the disabled, for our freedom and safety by detecting bombs and drugs, and pulling victims of tragedy from wreckage, now they're detecting cancer and seizures—things even humans cannot do. National Dog Day was adopted into New York State Legislation in 2013. National Dog Day is against any kind of breed ban. Dogs should not have to lose their lives because of the atrocities they have been forced to endure at the hands of man. While we feel that American's have the constitutional right to purchase a pure breed dog, we strongly discourage buying dogs from pet stores supplied by puppy mills, backyard breeders, the internet, and newspaper ads. We encourage those seeking new canine companions, to consider choosing adoption first. If you'd like a pure breed dog, look into a pure breed rescue in your city, to see if they might have some little furry soul just waiting to make your life complete. Another great place to find a new best friend is at large chain pet stores that host adoption drives for local shelters and rescues. When considering buying from a breeder, verify that you're buying from a reputable breeder by checking out their licensing, internet reviews, and ask for local references such as from a veterinarian. It's vital
N
to educate yourself about the breed you're considering parenting. “Millions of dogs are killed each year because they're simply unwanted,” says Colleen Paige, founder of National Dog Day. “They're unwanted because no one realized how to properly care for the demands of the breed. They're unwanted because they were bought as a Christmas gift for a child that didn't keep their promises about caring for the dog… unwanted because they shed too much… unwanted because they bark too much. UNWANTED ...simply because someone changed their mind. All a dog wants to do is love you and be loved by you. Dogs are amazing, courageous, sensitive, and sentient beings that deserve compassion and respect. Please consider bringing what was once considered unwanted love, into your heart and home on National Dog Day!" For dogs adopted on August 26th National Dog Day becomes many a dog’s birthday and for all dogs, it's as popular and exciting as the Super Bowl, with the anticipation of the day culminating into an explosion of network news stories, national TV show segments, online videos, shelter events, internet photos, and K9 parties planned around the globe!

Pet Care Soldier's Transfer Stranded Pets by Sam Mazzotta
Dear Paw's Corner: My wife recently received orders to transfer to a new duty station in Germany. I'm excited to go with her, but the problem is that we can't take our two cats. I don't want to give them up to a shelter, and I've asked relatives nearby if they can take them, but they can't. What can I do? —Proud Army Spouse in Maryland Dear Army Spouse: Is there a health reason why you can't bring along the cats? From my research, pets are allowed to accompany military families to Germany when transferring to a new assignment, or what's known as a permanent change of station (PCS). The article PCS And Your Pet in military.com explains many of the details involved in moving to an overseas base with your pet. If your cats are too sick or old to handle the trip, then you should look at finding them a new home. However, if they're healthy, several resources are available to help you plan and bring them along.
Get a certificate of health from your veterinarian as soon as possible to avoid any problems with bringing them to a new country. Coordinate with the military offices that handle the details of PCS—you likely must contact several—to make travel arrangements for you, your wife, and the cats. Find out if more documentation is needed for the cats. You may need to pay for the cats' transportation, and you'll have to buy airline-rated pet carriers. Contact the agency helping you complete the move to Germany. Also contact the base veterinarian, who may have additional advice in helping you and your cats move smoothly overseas. Send your tips, comments, and questions to ask@pawscorner.com

The Curious Life Of Marci Bell Based on a real story told to me about ten years ago. CHAPTER 2 he blood that had been trickling down her cheek when she bumped her head on the side of the wagon had dried and mixed with her tears making a crusty line all the way down to the top of her plaid dress top. Her mother had made her the dress from one of the flour sacks from the mill’s company store. She had been so proud of the simple little dress and thought it special with its colorful red and green squares. The collar had been sewn from a piece of white cloth her mother had been saving for just the right dress, she had told Marci. Now, it had a pale red stain of dried blood and tears splattered across the once pure white collar. She felt dizzy as she tried to pull herself up from the floor of the wagon and fell back. This time her head fell against the softness of some hay that had been shaped into a pillow with a piece of oil cloth draped over it. She could hear the two men talking as she lay there watching the clouds pass by above her. The sadness she felt when they drove away from her home began to overwhelm her again. Never in her short life had she felt so alone and heartbroken. Tears would not come to her. She had cried so much before she hit her head that there was no more tears to cry, only the feeling of emptiness that gripped her in waves of grief. She tried to will herself to sit up, but there was not enough strength in her frail body to rise up on her elbows and look over the back of the wagon. Nothing looked familiar to her; she had never been this far on the road that headed west from her home. She heard one of the men yell, “whoa,” and the wagon lurched to a stop knocking Marci off her elbows with her head falling back onto the oil cloth pillow. She could tell from the sound of the two men’s voices that they were arguing over which road to take. “If we go right and take the ferry at Willow Creek we can be there by dusk,” one of the men said as he rolled a cigarette. “Well, we’ve had all this rain over the last few days and when that Creek is up, ol’ man Hutchinson won’t take you across the river.” The other man responded. “You’re right, we’ll go the long way through Cottondale and cross the river there,” the man with the cigarette said as the wagon jerked forward. Marci could tell from the long shadows of the pine trees by the side of the road that it was nearing dark. “I think we need to give the mule a rest and some hay, since we’re going to be traveling a few more hours,” the man with the cigarette said as the wagon came to a stop. “I’ll check on the girl,” the other man said as he slipped off the front seat of the wagon. As he walked to the back of the wagon he peered over the side boards and could see that Marci was now awake. Her eyes were fixed on him as he walked around the wagon dropping the tailgate and asking her if she would like to step down
T
Winding Roads …by Byron Spires
from the wagon for a few minutes while they rested the mule. Marci just laid there staring at the man, she was too scared to move and too scared to speak. The man waited for a few seconds and then slammed the tailgate shut. “Have it your way Missy,” he said as he grabbed some hay from the back of the wagon and carried it to the front and dropping it on the ground for the mule to eat. The man with the cigarette climbed onto the wagon first and yelled to his partner to load up. Marci was still lying down in the back of the wagon when she felt it move forward. After hours of trying to block out the two men’s voices, Marci thought she heard one of them speak about buying young girls from poor families. She perked up some and started to listen to what they were saying. The man with the cigarette was the most talkative and started to brag about finding girls for money. “About two weeks ago I had a visit from the sheriff,” he told the second man. Marci listened as he talked about the sheriff accusing him of stealing a girl up in Miller County, Georgia. “I ain’t never stole no girl, I paid good money for her and sold her down in Gulf County, for a profit,” he said drawing a long puff on his cigarette. “You see some of the folks that live way back up in the woods can’t find no girls for the sons, so they calls on me to kinda help them out,” he said with a chuckle. She could feel her stomach churning as she thought of what may lie ahead for her. Who were the two men selling her to and why would her mother allow such a thing? “Once I sell this little girl I’ll have enough money to buy me a Model T Ford coupe and put old Billy here out to pasture,” the man with the cigarette told his partner. Marci would learn from listening to the men talk that she had been sold to the Dalton family in Holmes County for their 17 year-old son Hezekiah. The men spoke about him as a very unfortunate looking boy, tall and lanky with a terrible lisp when he spoke. “I almost gave up on finding someone until I meet this girl’s step-father,” the man with the cigarette said as he explained the deal he had made for Marci. “The truth be known, I probably could have got her for the moonshine.” It was after midnight when the wagon pulled to a stop at the Dalton home. Two dogs ran to the wagon barking as someone stepped out on the front porch of the house leaving the door open behind them. Marci could see several people sitting near the fire in the living room. She could see the silhouette of a tall young man standing just inside the door. …to be continued. You can contact Byron Spires via email at windingroads@netzero.com

Mild Exercise Just Won't Cut It by Matilda Charles
ome of us suspected it was too good to be true: that mild exercise of any type was good for us and helped us live longer. A new study shows that, unfortunately, we may be right. New research out of Brigham Young University (published in Preventive Medicine journal) shows that we can slow the type of aging that happens in cells if we do intense exercise. (Not what I had in mind. How about you?) To quote from one of the study's principals: “The more physically active we are, the less biological aging takes place in our bodies.” Specifically the study talks about telomeres. As we age, there is less telomerase in each cell, which counteracts the shortening of telomeres on our chromosomes. Without that telomerase, the telomeres wear down and cells wear out. High-activity exercise levels can give up to a nine-year biological-age advantage; moderate exercise nets us seven years. Translated into real terms, it means that women need to engage in physical cardiovascular activity 30 minutes a day. That's five days a week. For men
S
it's 40 minutes. While there are benefits to light-to-moderate exercise, we would have to do it longer than the 3040 minutes. For a list of moderate-intensity physical activity, go online to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute arm of National Institutes of Health (www. nhlbi.nih.gov) and search for Guide To Physical Activity. The chart will tell you how you can fit common chores into your exercise schedule. Washing and waxing a car qualifies, as do raking leaves, and washing floors. If we have to get more exercise, we might as well get the household chores done at the same time, right? Before jumping into a strenuous exercise program, find out what your doctor thinks.

Gainesville, FL - If you’re one of the millions of Americans that have been diagnosed with high Cholesterol, “Natural” help is now available from the creator of Gatorade! The highly regarded late Dr. Robert J. Cade, while at the University of Florida, did extensive clinical trials utilizing a special formula he developed containing soluble fiber (Acacia Gum). This formula, “CholesterAde,” proved to lower cholesterol in the human blood by over 17% during an 8 week period. Not only is this special soluble fiber proven to lower cholesterol naturally but other positive effects showed weight loss and improving bowel functions,which can help reduce the chances of many forms of cancer. Dr. Richard Goldfarb, the medical director for the company, states “Statins and other drugs can create as many health problems as what they were developed to cure. Soluble fiber is one of the most important natural ingredients you can consume for overall good health.” For the first time Dr. Cade’s original delicious tasting formula, “CholesterAde,” is now available at the select retailers below or call 727-581-1500. www.gocholesterAde.com

Title Insurance itle insurance insures that ownership of real property is free of defects, encumbrances, or adverse matters, unless listed as exceptions. The fact that a person has owned property for a long time or a newly constructed home is being sold for the first time is irrelevant. A seller may have no idea that a prior transaction was not documented correctly. A title defect could result in an objection when trying to sell or refinance property. To issue title insurance, the agent searches the public records and determines legal title has passed properly to the current owner of the property, the requirements to issue a new policy, and exceptions, which the agent lists in a title insurance commitment prior to closing, followed by a title insurance policy after closing. When a title insurance commitment shows a defect, the buyer or lender can object to the title. A Buyer should be represented by an attorney, who can review the exceptions and determine whether they are acceptable. If the seller is unable to cure the objection, the buyer can cancel the transaction. Sellers typically pay for the owner’s title insurance in Volusia County, and are frequently referred to title companies for closing. Real estate attorneys also issue title insurance, and charge approximately the same rate, so one can be represented by an
T
Elder Law …by Michael A. Pyle attorney while complying with the requirement to pay for the title insurance. If a claim arises on a title policy, the title insurer must resolve it. Title insurers are required to set aside millions of dollars to pay claims that arise. Common problems resulting in title insurance claims include errors in legal descriptions, probate or foreclosure proceedings, errors in creation of a condominium or subdivision, existence of easements, reservations or restrictions, fraudulent conveyances, unpaid taxes, governmental liens, construction liens, encroachments, and lack of joinder on the deed by a required party. Title insurance provides peace of mind. Title defects result in significant claims. If a problem ever does arise, it is advantageous to have a title insurer standing behind the title and prepared to resolve the problem. Attorney Michael A.

Humane Society Update Be Prepared by Barry KuKes repare for a disaster; have a current photo of all pets in case they get lost during the storm.” When a hurricane threatens you and your family, be sure to also make plans to keep your pets safe. Before there is a need to evacuate your home due to a hurricane, you should make sure that your pets are all current on their vaccinations. Pets that will be boarded will need proof of current vaccinations at many pet shelters. Work out where your pet will stay during the storm if you have to evacuate. Most boarding facilities do not board pets during a major hurricane so plan on taking your pets with you if you evaculate. Check with family and friends who are not in the path of the storm to see if they can keep your pets. If there is no one who can help, you can check with specialized pet shelters, veterinary clinics, or animal control shelters. Once you find someone who can care for your pets, work the location where you will drop them off into your evacuation route. Have a current photo of all pets in case they get lost during the storm. Make sure they are wearing a collar that has all of their current identification on it. You should prepare an emergency pet supply kit so it will be ready in an emergency. The kit should contain a pet carrier for each animal, identification, immunization records, medication, supply of food and water, a muzzle, collar, and leash. Make sure to mark all of the supplies with your pets identification information. When severe weather threatens, bring your pets inside well before the storm begins. Remain calm, and calm your pets if they become agitated. Call ahead to confirm your selected pet shelter is still able to care for your pet. Once the storm has passed and you return home, it is important to remember that your pet’s surroundings may have been changed by the storm. Familiar scents and landmarks may no longer be there. The pet can easily become confused or lost. You should walk all pets on a leash until they are able to reorient themselves. This will also help keep them safe from hazards such as downed power lines, debris, and reptiles that may have been brought in by high water. If your pet becomes lost during the storm, call your local animal control office for information on where lost pets can be claimed. Bring your pet’s photo with you for easier identification. Barry KuKes is the Community Outreach Director for the Halifax Humane Society. You can reach Barry at 386.274. 4703, ext. 320, or BarryK@halifaxhumane society.org
