Social Media an you look back to some stupid things you did and be ever-so-grateful that there was not a means for sharing your ‘dos’ with the world? Well, of course, I don’t remember anything like that… except… well, I simply don’t remember! When you and friends first decided to try out cigarettes… you knew you could sneak and smoke without someone holding up a camera and taking a picture of your newfound interest to share with the world. Of course it never occurred to you that there was a smell to smoke that permeated the air. If some of the same things that happened when I was a teenager, happened now, someone would have spread the news online and perhaps taken a picture for Facebook. One of the first dates I had was with… uh… well let’s say… Ricky. He had a one-seater car and there were four of us in it. That put me in the middle and my friend Dottie on her boyfriend’s lap. My date, the driver, decided to show me how to drive so he stopped the car and we swapped seats. I began driving and doing a very good job of maneuvering in the right direction. We made a slight turn and came upon the two separate tunnels under the large hill. I was headed into the correct tunnel. Ricky leaned across and grabbed the steering wheel from where he sat in the center. He laughed uproariously as he guided us through the tunnel of the oncoming traffic! Luckily, there was no oncoming traffic. Scared senseless, I never accepted his phone calls for a date after that. He was really handsome and I remember dozens of reasons why I wanted to answer his calls but the ‘whatif’ of that incident never left me. The very things I used to enjoy about a telephone, having a computer, using

the internet, and checking on Facebook to see what my friends had to say, have slowly gone the way of all things. Sometimes now we see, in our expert communication abilities, too much interest and too many people trying to stay in touch (not necessarily for the right reasons).
In the society described by Orwell, everybody is under total surveillance by the authorities via telescreen, and readers are reminded of this by the phrase Big Brother is watching you. It generally takes three rings of the telephone for me to answer. Ten percent of the calls are reminders of appointments; 10 percent are business; 30 percent of the calls are from friends; and when I answer the other 50 percent of the calls, it takes a minute for the telemarketer’s rotation to get to my number. By then, I have hung up. I’ve recently been told that my name was in a drawing and I may have won a car. Very exciting! But, oh well, my car still takes me where I want to go. Do you remember this song? Take it to heart and… enjoy yourself, it’s later than you think. Kitty Maiden is a staff writer for Seniors Today.

Rock & Roll Stars Of The 50s & 60s Return To The Peabody Special to Seniors Today f you can’t remember why you walked into a room in your house, but you know the words to every song on those late night PBS specials, head to the Peabody Auditorium on Saturday, March 26 for Pop, Rock & Doo Wopp Live! The show features the artists who made many of the biggest hits of the fifties and sixties. Headlining the concert will be one of the most iconic teen idols of the era, Bobby Rydell. “It's amazing. He opens his mouth and it's 1959. He still has that signature sound that made him famous,” comments Tony Brocco, one of the concert's presenters. Aside from scoring with Wild One, Volare, Wildwood Days, We Got Love and Forget Him, to name a few, Rydell made a big splash on the big screen as Hugo Peabody in Bye, Bye Birdie, alongside Ann Margaret. The teen idol's biggest hits and more will be faithfully re-created by the live 10-piece orchestra that will accompany him. The balance of the evening will be filled with the vocal group sounds of the most recognizable voices of the era, Shirley Alston Reeves, the original lead singer of the Shirelles. Originally based in Passaic, New Jersey, the group scored big with songs like Will You Love Me Tomorrow, Soldier Boy, Mama Said, Baby It's You and about a dozen others. In addition to being a major influence on every girl group to follow, the
I
Shirelles also had a strong influence on the Beatles, who covered two of their songs. Shirley and her namesake group have been experiencing a resurgence in their popularity over the last few years after being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Rock & Roll Hall Bobby Rydell of Fame inductees the Flamingos will also appear. Perhaps best known for their iconic rendering of I Only Have Eyes For You, the group features lead singer Terry Johnson who is the voice heard on their classics Lovers Never Say Goodbye and When I Fall In Love. The evening’s cavalcade of talent is capped with appearances by two legendary vocal groups with their original lead singers, The Classics and The Mystics. “Pop, Rock & Doo Wopp Live” hits the Peabody Auditorium for one night only on Saturday, March 26 at 7:30 P.M. Tickets are reasonably priced from $31 to $69. Many of the artists will be available to meet and greet fans after the show. Tickets can be purchased on line at www.PopRockDoo Wopp.com or by calling 386.671.3462.

Dying Without A Will In Florida hen a person dies in Florida, one needs to determine whether the decedent had a Will. If there is a validly executed Will the estate is said to be testate. If there is not a Will the estate is said to be intestate. A testate estate, bearing no Will contest, will be distributed in accordance with the terms of the Will. If there is no Will, the estate will be distributed in accordance with Florida law as follows: Surviving Spouse - Entire Estate The surviving spouse's share is determined first. The surviving spouse takes the entire intestate estate if there are no surviving descendants of the decedent OR if the decedent is survived by descendants, who are also descendants of the surviving spouse, and the surviving spouse has no other descendants. §732.102, Florida Statute. Surviving Spouse - One-Half Of The Entire Estate The surviving spouse is entitled to one-half of the entire intestate estate if there are surviving descendants of the decedent who are not lineal descendants of the surviving spouse OR if the surviving descendants of the decedent are also descendants of the surviving spouse, and the surviving spouse has descen-

dants who are not descendants of the decedent. §732.102, Florida Statute. No Surviving Spouse If the decedent is not survived by a spouse the intestate share of the estate descends 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 Statute. If one does not prefer the proposed distribution by Florida law, then a validly executed Will is needed. Attorney Michael A.

Heart Healthy Month by George Goldtrap
n December of 2000 Peg and I invited old Tennessee friends for lunch. He was recovering from recent heart surgery so Doris told us about his symptoms and subsequent successful surgery. After a great visit, good food, and lots of laughs, our friends left. After we closed the door, rather matter-of-factly I told Peg that I had those same symptoms... and in fact was having them at that very moment. (For some time I had planned to tell her and this seemed the opportune moment.) Peg insisted we immediately visit a local doctor. Upon discovering he was closed, we proceeded to the ER. Multiple tests showed classic symptoms of blocked arteries, (mud in the blood). I stayed overnight. A cardiologist said I needed to be cathed, (peek inside the veins). Alas, it was a holiday weekend, so I was sent home with a cheery prescription: “Don't die. Happy New Year!” After the new year, I made an appointment. I was told to fast and come in Tuesday. I resumed normal activity with the exception of beach running. Tuesday’s test was followed by more. A day or so later, the Dr. reviewed test results. (Why can't they get one hour service at Walgreens like everybody else?) His conclusion, 'we'll need to cath you', put dye in your veins and look around. (This, of course, had been the initial opinion, but the insurance circus made everyone jump through the hoops.) The ‘cath’ sounded like fun so I said, 'Let's get groin!' I put off dying to avoid messing up the medical schedules. I went in and was pleased to see everybody sober, cheerful, and at work. My insurance company had said, ‘Yes, we’ll cooperate.’ I'm so thankful for business men who can make good medical decisions. The cath surgeon promised me that he was very good at cathing and he had done this hundreds of times. I found it interesting that someone who looked like he was on a high school field trip could have such extensive experience Doc said, ‘we'll just go in and look around, but I want your permission to proceed if I see anything that needs immediate attention.’ Not in a position to argue with a masked man, I said, ‘why not.’ In he went. Left turn here, right jag there... oops, watch that kidney. During all this, I was awake and watching via the monitor. Everything went smoothly.
I
Happy Talk … by George & Peggy Goldtrap
I had several blockages... ranging from 70-90 percent, two of which could not be corrected but were so small as to not matter. Others were in the do it now category. The procedure, a 30 minute angio ‘something-or-other,’ took 2 hours, but was the right choice. In the worst blockage, which was 'Y' shaped, he placed a long stent, which he described as a rolled up piece of chicken wire which expands once inside the vein. Then, by going through the middle of the first stent, he placed a second, shorter stent in the other leg of the Y. In football it’s called the end around. This is done with a balloon wire which expands the vein, (slightly painful), allowing room to work. All of this began in a groin and finished in a groan. Recovery was overnight and I picked up a new nickname... The groin in 502. The next day I needed recovery from the awakenings during the night... take this, take that. Would you like a sleeping pill? Finally, a bit sore but otherwise perky, I went home. In 2 weeks I resumed normal activity including walking and gradual running on the beach. The hard part... making diet changes, taking some cholesterol Draino, and an aspirin a day. Diet, w/o cheese is not what God or the dairy council intended. Overall life improvement was almost immediate. I'm thankful for modern medicine. I’m thankful for the hospitals experienced heart care team. I’m thankful that I could eat cheese for at least 62.8 years. Fat’s not fit for friend nor foe! Why repeat all this? Because it’s Heart Month…and that’s a reminder for you. Ask your doctor for a heart check-up. Follow his instructions, read Healthy Heart literature, and alter your diet as instructed by your medical team. Maybe you too will have a better story fifteen years from now. I am nearing 79 and feel great. I continue to write for Seniors Today, play softball two days a week, Peg and I travel, and I continue to work as a TV commercial actor. You can make a few changes and be healthy as well. Don’t put it off… stay alive, stay healthy. This is your Heart Month reminder.

Telephone Scam olusia County residents should be on alert following multiple reports of a phony law enforcement who has been phoning residents and trying to trick them into paying money to clear up a warrant and avoid arrest. We recently received complaints from four people who had been targeted by this scam. Most of them were senior citizens. In three of the cases, the thief didn’t get away with any money. In one of them, an 81-year-old Port Orange woman was scammed out of $5,500. In the scam, the caller identifies himself as Lieutenant Cross with the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office and even gives a badge number to make the call sound more official. The caller then proceeds to tell the intended target that they have a warrant for their arrest for failing to show up for a jury summons and need to pay a $5,500 fine to clear it up. Two people who live near Port Orange and two others who live near DeLand have reported that they recently received the scam call. In one case, a 62-year-old woman became suspicious and hung up on the caller. Thankfully, a 71-year-old woman who received one of these calls also didn’t fall for it. In

another case, it was a very close call. This time, a 68- year-old woman actually fell for the story and went to the grocery store to buy 11 pre-paid gift cards as she had been instructed. However, before she could complete the purchase, a store manager stopped her and told her it was a scam. Unfortunately, an 81year-old woman actually bought the preloaded gift cards at a local grocery store and then read the 10-digit numbers off of each gift card to the scammer over the phone. When she went home and told her husband what she had done, he told her it was a scam. He was right. Anyone who receives a telephone call like this shouldn’t give any personal information over the phone, shouldn’t send money, gift cards, cashier’s checks, or pre-paid cards and should never agree to meet with the caller. Instead, hang up immediately and contact the Sheriff’s Office or the closest police department and provide as much information about the call as possible, including the caller’s phone number.

Antiques Cowboy Radio Q: At a garage sale, I found a Hopalong Cassidy radio manufactured by Arvin. It is red with a metal front depicting the cowboy star astride his horse, Topper. I paid $250 for it, and my wife thinks I made a major mistake. —Tim, Alamo Heights, Texas A: I spoke to several collectors and also consulted Hopalong Cassidy Collectibles by Joe Caro. Almost everyone agreed that your radio—in working order and in reasonable condition—is worth at least $1,000. There were several models in various colors, but the bottom line is you made a wise purchase. *** Q: During the 1940s, I wrote dozens of letters to major motion picture stars requesting an autographed picture. More than 50 responded, and I still have them. They include Bing Crosby, Tyrone Power, Alice Faye, Betty Grable, and Harry James. Where can I sell them? —Joan, Plantation, Florida A: Many of the so-called Hollywood autographed pictures were not signed by the actual stars but by employees in the publicity departments of the studios. With that in mind, you might want to contact one of the larger autograph dealers, Conway's Vintage Treasures, 55 Corliss St., Box 40962, Providence, RI 02940. The website is cvtrea

Barking, Barking And More Barking by Cindi Walsh, Certified Professional Dog Trainer arking is a problem for many owners and their dogs. Well, maybe not for their dogs. Door bells or knocking tend to be the number one trigger for barking in the home. Our reaction to the doorbell is to drop everything, quickly get up, and walk to the door. We have actually trained our dog to have the same reaction! On the way to the door we may have also added communication with our dog, “Quiet, sit, no, quiet, bad.”
When a dog barks, he is alerting the family that there may be trouble. Since this is the dog’s job, we will need to redirect his behavior. Some of our behavior will need to change as well. Here are some steps to redirect the barking. The dog is barking at the front door or running around barking. The first thing you will need to do is get the dogs attention. A loud clap works well or you could blow a whistle or shake pennies in an empty soda can. The idea is to startle the dog (not scare him) to get his attention and then his mind.
When your dog looks at you immediately say enough and show him a treat. Pat your leg directing the dog to come to you. As soon as he responds, say good and give him the treat along with lots of pets then turn away from the door or window and say let’s go. Present your dog with something else to do; give him his favorite bone or toy, maybe toss a ball with him. By doing this you have redirected the dog and given him something more rewarding than barking. If you are consistent your dog will become conditioned
over time to hear the knock or ring and run to you instead of the door. Mutt Strutt Are you and your 4-legged friends ready to get your paws in the sand?

Moments In Time Moments In Time The History Channel • On Feb. 12, 1988, in the waning days of the Cold War, two Soviet warships bump two U.S. Navy vessels in waters claimed by the Soviet Union off the Crimean peninsula. A confrontation was defused when the U.S. ships departed. • On Feb. 13, 1991, Sotheby's announces the discovery of a manuscript of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. Missing for more than a century, the manuscript was found in a trunk with some old papers. • On Feb. 14, 1867, Sakichi Toyoda, whose textile machinery company spawned the Toyota Motor Corp., is born. In 1937, Toyota was formed as a spinoff of his Toyoda Loom Works. Toyota reportedly was considered a luckier name than Toyoda and is easier to write in Japanese characters. • On Feb. 15, 1961, the entire 18-member U.S. figure skating team is killed in a plane crash in Belgium. The team was on its way to the 1961 World Figure Skating Championships in Czechoslovakia. After the crash, an American woman (Peggy Fleming) would not capture Olympic gold until 1968, while a U.S. man (Scott Hamilton) would not do so until 1984. • On Feb. 16, 1997, Jeff Gordon claims his first Daytona 500 victory, becoming at age 25 the youngest winner in the history of the 500-mile NASCAR

Sherman is most famous for his March to the Sea through Georgia in the closing months of 1864. On Feb. 18, 1885, Mark Twain publishes his famous—and controversial —novel The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn. Its satirical look at racism, religion, and other social attitudes of the time led libraries to ban the book. On Feb. 19, 1878, the technology that made the modern music business possible was born in the New Jersey laboratory where Thomas Alva Edison created the first device to both record sound and play it back—the phonograph. On Feb. 20, 1792, President George Washington signs legislation renewing the United States Post Office as a cabinet department led by the postmaster general. While postmaster, Benjamin Franklin had streamlined postal delivery with surveyed and marked routes from Maine to Florida (the origins of Route 1). On Feb. 21, 1948, NASCAR—the National Association for Stock Car Racing—is officially incorporated. NASCAR held its first Strictly Stock race in 1949 at Charlotte Speedway in North Carolina.

Senior Service Line Stay Happy, Stay Healthy by Matilda Charles
egative stereotypes about aging can produce negative outcomes in seniors, including physical function. That's quite a statement, and apparently it's true. The phrase “Don't worry, be happy” might well include the addition of “and stay healthier.” Researchers interacted with 100 seniors ages 61-99 to learn whether positive stereotyping could have positive outcomes. They used implicit (implied) and explicit (clearly expressed) messages, in varying combinations, at oneweek intervals. The results showed that implicit interventions caused improved self-perception, which included better physical function. The opposite also was true: Negative messages resulted in negative self-perception. The impact lasted for three weeks. Implicit messages had a greater effect than explicit ones. Becca Levy, associate professor at Yale, has been studying us for a long time. In some of her research, participants played computer games with words flashed on the screen. These subliminal
N
messages had an impact, either positive or negative, about aging stereotypes, and affected memory tasks, walking speed and even handwriting. If flash messages could have such a great impact, think about what more overt messages could do. Researchers have come up with a numbers of ways we can stay healthier as we age, and it's all about our frame of mind. * Stay happy and positive, on an even keel, without going to extremes emotionally. * Look at the glass as half full, and be hopeful about the future. * Remain social. Get out, be with people—the happier the better. If there are negative people in your life, try to avoid them. Avoid hostility. Search for group activities that have a positive purpose. * Be resilient in the face of difficulties and search for the good in any situation—because there is always a silver lining. Your health will thank you.

Dear Paw's Corner: Can you feed leftover meal scraps to cats? My boyfriend says no; I say yes, because I've been feeding scraps to my three cats for years. What do you say? —Carole in Davenport, Iowa Dear Carole: Feeding scraps to pets —dogs or cats—is not recommended. The main reason is that food prepared for humans often contains ingredients that are harmful to pets, such as onions, garlic, raisins, avocado, and many more. Scraps also can contain more fat than pets are used to, creating digestive problems and setting them up for obesity. Leftovers can be high in salt, which can be as detrimental to pets as it is to us. However—and this is a big however —table scraps tend to get fed to begging cats anyway by kind-hearted owners or their guests. Or, cats just steal them off counters when no one is looking. Is there a balance between the absolutely no scraps guideline and the live and let live tendency of some owners? If you really want to share table scraps with pets, be very selective about what
you share and how much. Fresh (not cured) meat, poultry, or fish are good. Trim away all fat, and make sure no gravy or seasonings are on the food. Serve pets only a small handful, and if they exhibit any health issues—excessive vomiting, lethargy, or other symptoms—contact a vet right away. A healthier option is to prepare a small amount of protein and vegetables separately for your pets as you cook dinner. Leave out seasonings and consider steaming or roasting the food rather than cooking in oil. Cool completely before serving to pets. Send your questions or tips to ask @pawscorner.com

What’s In The Stars For The Week Of February 15 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Single Lambs looking for romance could find Cupid accommodating. Paired partners find their relationships benefiting from the cherub's attention. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Keep your keen Bull's eye focused on your target, and shake off any attempt to turn your attention elsewhere. You should get good news later in the week. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your early enthusiasm for a project might have been somewhat premature. You might need more information in order to make an informed decision. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Taking on a new responsibility might seem like the politically correct thing to do. Consider reassessing your upcoming decision when you have all the facts. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Apply yourself to completing your task despite all the distractions that might be interfering with your work. Then reward yourself with a weekend of fun. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) A business agreement from the past might need to be looked at again. Use this unexpected development to check out other matters related to it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Don't ignore that uneasy feeling about making a commitment. It could be a case of understandably cold feet, or a warning that something isn't as right. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) A colleague could be more supporting of one of your efforts. It's up to you to make the case for it, and that could mean opening up a secret or two. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Expect some good news about a relative you've been worried about. Don't expect the full story—at least not yet. Matters might face shifting priorities. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Despite some anxious moments, you could have good reason to be pleased with how things are turning out. A call might hold some good information. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) A long-overdue expression of appreciation could be offered soon. Admit it: You never really expected it would happen? Keep your weekend options open. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) It's time to dive right into a new challenge, whether it's learning a computer app, or how to drive a stick shift, or making a new friend. Good luck.
