Time For Change any times we recall how we were raised and wish that things were still the same. Alas, the changes are constant and we must go with the flow. From the memory bank, a friend named Mary Lou posted an interesting message: “I didn’t just grow up. I was taught to speak when I enter a room, say please and thank you, to have respect for my elders, and to get up off my lazy butt and let the elder in the room have my chair. Say Yes, sir and No, sir, lend a helping hand to those in need. Hold the door for the person behind me, say ‘excuse me’ when it’s needed and to love people for who they are and not for what I can get from them. I was also taught to treat people the way I want to be treated.” 1950–the first modern credit card was introduced. It was available to the men only, at first. Now you can be any gender and quite young. That was the year that the Peanuts cartoon was introduced. It was also the year the Korean War began. President Truman ordered construction of the Hbomb. It was the year of Joseph McCarthy’s Communist Witch Hunt. Throughout the 50s and 60s major changes took place. 1951– Color TV was introduced. 1952– Princess Elizabeth became the Queen at age 25. 1956– TV remote control was invented. 1957– Sputnik, the Russian satellite was launched, creating the Space Age. 1958– NASA was founded. 1959– Castro became dictator of Cuba. 1960– First presidential debates were televised. 1961–The Peace Corps was founded. A horrible thing happened in 1963 when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.

You Name It …by Kitty Maiden
During those years many of us were so busy raising families that we assumed that all major decisions concerning our government were A-number 1-pure American correctness. One thing we did take into consideration was “Where shall we build our bomb shelter?” (I hardly remember why). Apollo 11 was the first spaceflight that landed humans on the Moon. Americans Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed July 20, 1969. Armstrong became the first to step onto the lunar surface six hours later. That evening we were sitting at the dining room table with friends when we all heard an extremely loud sound. We jumped as though the world has blown up. End result was that someone pushed up our rickety garage door. That took its place among the inconsequential things that remain in your memory bank … right along with the terrific news of the moon landing. The changes since the 60s include many wars, rumors of war, and tragic incidences. It would be so wonderful if we all chose to teach our children, ‘pay forward, forgive, love-not hate’ and make our world a better place. I still love our country, honor our veterans, and those who are serving to keep us safe. But…will our future bring us peace and tranquility?

July 29, 2016—Seniors Today—Page 5 How To Provide For Your Pet After You Die any people worry about what will happen to their pets after they die. You cannot leave money directly to your pet as a beneficiary. You can leave money outright to a person for the benefit of the pet, but there is another solution. You can create a trust to provide funding for pets’ maintenance and specific instructions for the care of pets. Leaving funds outright to a person to care for a pet involve a specific gift of the pet itself, and a specific dollar amount to the person designated to care for the pet, sometimes along with specific instructions on such care. Specific instructions, such as stating you want the dog walked a certain number of times a week are not enforceable because the person has the money already. Even if you truly trust the person, what happens if the person dies, becomes incapacitated or for some other reason can no longer take care of the pet? If you really want to be sure that the pet is taken care of and that the money benefits the pet, consider a pet trust. With trust provisions, which can be inside a will or revocable trust, a caretaker is named to physically care for

the pet and a trustee is named to manage the money for the benefit of the pet. The trustee will allocate funds to the caretaker if the caretaker follows the terms of the trust. The trust can provide specific instructions for diet, exercise, health care needs, food, toys, veterinary care, travel, treats, recreational activities, pet-sitting and any other activities. If the caretaker does not take care of the pet for whatever reason, the Trustee can find a substitute, and there is still money available. The trust terminates on the death of the pet, or when the last pet dies. Any remaining funds can be distributed to alternate beneficiaries. If you want to establish a trust for your pet, you should consult an estate planning attorney Attorney Michael A. Pyle, of Pyle & Dellinger, PL, 1655 N.

YOGA.. It’s A Stretch by Peggy Goldtrap few months ago in an effort to eliminate a pesty sciatica scourge, a friend suggested yoga. After consulting Dr. Google, I agreed to bend and attend. What do I wear to a yoga affair? Yoga pants have Spandex, I’m more comfy with Windex. Spandex fills every nook and cranny in Cellulite Valley. I opted for Gag’s baggy softball shirt and the bottom half of comfy pj’s: the Grunge for the Lunge look. The instructor was a kind, patient woman who gulped when I hobbled in on hiking sticks. I had no mat but it didn’t matter. The instructor had a basket full. Because I have no pride left, I wasn’t discouraged that the yoga instructor patiently showed me the butterfly mark on the mat: ‘That means top side up. That’s the side to fold after class; folding the other side makes the mat gummy.’ She gave me a sticker and said I was a good girl. First challenge: breathing. Think that’s easy? Wrong! Lung cleansing is not on the radar after weeks scrunched up in a recliner watching TV. Yoga breathing is opening the rib cage, lifting arms, inhaling through the nose, tilting the head back, exhaling through the mouth. That’s not easy especially since the bottom half of my body was not aware that the top half was supposed to be on balance. I reached for a chair. Stretching, balancing on one leg, learning how and where my feet are, visualizing the power in the big toe, I began to feel powerful. ‘Now, slowly ease yourself down on the floor.’ She’s must be joking. IF I get down there’s no way to get up without a crane. While other students gracefully lowered, I continued standing; figuring out how this was going to happen. Grabbing a chair, I leaned my upper body across the seat; lowered knees to the floor; rolled on my ample thighs; onto the back, exhausted. Leg lifts are essential yoga stretches. NOOOoooo screamed my sciatica. The instructor gave me some straps. I knew I was bad, but I didn’t expect a whipping. The straps were to put around my feet and hold both ends in one hand, gently lifting the leg. The idea is simple but the execution seemed impossible. IF I could reach the sole of my foot or lift my leg I’d be at the mall shopping. With the help of the chair leg I slowly lifted up body to the point I could lasso my foot with the strap. Got it. Great. That’s it. NO! Now I have to lift the leg by pulling on the strap. One, two, three, I’m going to die, four, five, it’s an eternity. ‘Good job,’ the instructor hummed. ‘Now, let’s move the strap to the other foot and gently lift the leg.’ I couldn’t walk, talk, or roll so I continued. Strap on, leg up. No wait, it’s tilting. The leg pulls down to the floor pulling me into a sit up. I wrestled it to a truce as I internally wailed. ‘Now, roll over on your stomach. Arch your backs, lifting the legs, and chest. Now pick a spot on the ceiling to focus on’ Surely, she jests. My chin is on the mat and it’s not going anywhere. My toes are locked behind me and only one wiggles. A chair leg in front of me is the closest I can

Happy Talk …by George & Peggy Goldtrap get to staring at the ceiling. This position is called the Cobra, a poisonous asp. ‘Next, we’ll do the Cat.’ My cat curls up and sleeps in the sun. Finally a move I can do. Wrong! Up on our knees in cat-like pose, we stretch and arch our backs. So far so good. ‘Now drop your body toward the mat then back up into Cat stretch.’ My belly hits the mat and wants to stay. The teacher calls for conclusion. Reaching for the chair, I lift into a seated position while other students sit up and fold their legs tight to the body in a totally unnatural pelvic position. I cross ankles and am pleased to have survived. Class dismissed. Students gracefully rise and roll their mats. There’s chatter in the room, friendly rapport. I’m still on the floor visualizing how to get up. I could pretend I’m so moved that I need to stay here and meditate. Nah, just admit it. ‘I’ve fallen and I can’t get up.’ I have never been able to get up from the floor except Pregnant Lady style, a type of gyno-gymnastics. Pulling a chair to me, rolling to my knees, lifting my upper body into a position across the seat of the chair, I get enough traction to ‘walk’ into an upright position. Breathe, breathe, push, push. No wonder it’s Pregnant Lady position. Stretching exercises, such as yoga, are recommended by leading authorities to assuage the afflictions of the aging body. Surprisingly, no officials have monitored my yoga class. I had never bent my body into a pretzel or had it pulled apart like taffy. Remember the old days when your momma stretched curtains on wood frames with nails? I collapsed in the recliner on Wednesday and didn’t move again until Sunday. I’m genuinely loving the yoga class. The teacher is patient and inspiring. The timeout with friends is stimulating. I’ve met parts of my body I didn’t know were there and the breathing exercises are pushing oxygen into dried dusty caverns of corpus. Wish yoga had come before multiple birthdays and spinal rebellion, but it’s never too late to be better than ever and the present foretells the future. Stretch on!

Q: I have heard that paint-by-number pictures from the 1950s have become collectible. I have several that my daughter did that are quite good. Are they salable? —Alice, St. Johnsville, New York A: Paint-by-Number pictures were originally produced by Max Klein, an engineer and owner of the Detroit-based Palmer Paint Company, and Dan Roberts, a commercial artist. The first examples issued in 1951 under the Craft Masters brand were an immediate success. Each kit had a picture board with light blue or gray-lined areas that were numbered to match certain colors. In recent years, many of these paintings have popped up in shops and at antique malls, mostly priced in the $25–$35 range. During the 1950s and ’60s, more than 12 million of the kits were sold. *** Q: During the 1950s, my mom was a big fan of Don McNeill and his Breakfast Club, a network radio program. She purchased his book, which was published in 1953. Would it be of interest to a collector? —Scott, Arvada, Colorado A: Don McNeill's Breakfast Club was broadcast from Chicago and debuted in 1933. It continued until 1968, making it the longest-running network radio show ever. The program was a blend of poetry, anecdotes, guest stars, interviews, and even
occasional marches around the breakfast table. The show was essentially spontaneous and unrehearsed, with McNeill closing each program with his signoff tag: Be good to yourself. While Don McNeill's Breakfast Club was extremely popular as a radio program, when an attempt was made to adapt it to television in 1954, it failed to capture the same audience. McNeill published several books, including Don's Other Life in 1944, Don McNeill's Breakfast Club (1953), Twenty Years Of Corn (1953) and at least 10 editions of his yearbooks. The yearbooks often sell for about $20 each, with the other three publications generally priced in the $15-$35 range. Prices can vary due to condition and demand. For example, McNeill memorabilia is especially popular in Chicago, which means prices in Chicagoland can be higher than in other parts of the country. One of the better references is Hake's Price Guide To Character Toys by Ted Hake and published by House Of Collectibles.

Humane Society Update Reimaging The Future alifax Humane Society proudly announces the Reimagining the Future for Our Community’s Animals capital campaign. The campaign plan, requiring $2.6 million, is an exciting new phase of development to launch the expansion and renovation project as Halifax Humane Society reimagines a new level of humane animal welfare in Volusia County. The plan, will celebrate 79 years of serving over 750,000 animals. “This unique project will make us a top-tier one-stop animal center to serve both our community’s and visitor’s pets”—Michael Ugarte, Chief Financial Development Officer. The project will feature three components: a newly redesigned Adoption & Pet Center, a new Grooming & Boarding center, and a new Travel Center & Rest/Recreation Park. The result of the project will be better-matched adoptions, a more positive and educational visitor experience for the community, new sustainable lines of earned income to support programs, and an enhanced reputation for Daytona Beach as a pet-friendly community. The campaign to date has raised $1,970,050 with the help of the campaign’s leadership team, chaired by Nancy Lohman.

All Rise For Judge Grandma by Lindsey C. Preston udge Shirley Green or as the family always calls her, Judge Grandma is the most senior sitting County Court Judge in Volusia County. This 61-year-old grandma with 6 children and 28 grand and great grandchildren was the first African-American woman ever elected as a Volusia County Judge. She has held this post for the past 12 years and is currently seeking re-election for another 6 year term. Her climb to where she is now did not come easily; hard work and overcoming all odds that were against her helped her to persevere into a lifetime of public service. Judge Shirley Green began life on her grandparent’s sharecropping farm in Alabama. As a child she picked cotton, watermelons, and tomatoes. One summer when Green was about 6 or 7 years old, her mother came and moved her to South Florida, where she and nine brothers and sisters picked vegetables as

school, did not stop her from pushing forward. She knew she needed to continue more than ever because now was a single parent. After obtaining her law degree from the University of Miami, on several academic scholarships, tragedy struck again. Hurricane Andrew almost left Judge Green and her six children vulnerable to past defeats. She lost 65 percent of her house and personal belongings, but she refused to focus on her tragic situation. She and her family relocated to Central Florida where she focused her efforts on recruiting other lawyers to provide free legal services to those in need. She entrenched herself into this community and served on more than 20 community service related Boards. More about her life and service can be found on her webpage: www.judge shirleygreen.com Judge Green says: “Community service is my life's blood and I am determined to leave a legacy for my children and grandchildren. A legacy that says hard work and perseverance is the key

Green attended public school while her mother did house cleaning and on weekends and holidays, the whole family picked whatever vegetables were in season. Following high school and later becoming a mother of 6, she realized she needed to change her life. She moved her children out of the public housing project in the heart of poverty stricken Miami. Judge Green’s desire to help others and support her family led her to the legal field. Her husband’s tragic death during her third year in college, before law
to success.” She is not allowing senior citizenship to slow her down. She describes herself as a Christian, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, friend, servant, and a judge. She uses her experiences in all the other categories to help her serve the community in her current position as Grandma Judge. Look for this motivated grandma on the primary ballot, August 30, 2016. Here comes the judge, here comes the judge, here comes the grandma judge! Paid for and approved by Shirley Green’s campaign.

What’s In The Stars For The Week Of Aug. 1 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You dislike waiting for promises to be fulfilled and for commitments to be kept, but resist your headstrong tendency to push things along. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Expect continuing opposition to your plans from die-hard detractors. However, your determination to see things through will carry the day. A Pisces has romantic ideas. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might be too close to a troublesome workplace situation to deal with it successfully. Step away in order to get a better perspective. A solution soon becomes obvious. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might suspect that someone you trust has misled you on an important matter, but a more balanced view reveals a misunderstanding to be the culprit.

Crime Rate Down here was some extremely positive news in data recently released by the state, which showed that the crime rate in the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office’s jurisdiction has reached its lowest level in more than 30 years. Just last year, the crime rate in the Sheriff’s Office’s jurisdiction—which includes all of the unincorporated areas of the county plus the cities of Deltona, DeBary, Pierson, and Oak Hill—dropped by 4.9 percent in 2015. That was a better showing than the entire state of Florida, which saw a 3.1 percent crime rate reduction in 2015. Those statistics were among the highlights of the annual crime report recently released by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE). FDLE’s annual Uniform Crime Report, or UCR, tracks reported index crimes throughout the state in seven key offense categories. The crime rate is measured on a per-capita basis in order to account for differences in populations across the various law enforcement jurisdictions in Florida. The crime rate in the Sheriff’s Office’s jurisdiction measured 2,118.1 in 2015. That was down from 2,227.1 in 2014 and marked the seventh consec-

utive annual decline in the Sheriff’s Office’s crime rate. Records dating back to 1983 show that the Sheriff’s Office’s index crime rate has never been lower than what it was in 2015. The total number of reported index crimes last year in the Sheriff’s Office’s jurisdiction also went down in 2015 by 4.1 percent, from 5,007 to 4,802. Statewide, the drop was 1.6 percent. The continued reduction in crime down to historic lows is extremely good news for the citizens of Volusia County. This accomplishment is directly attributable to the exceptional work of our deputies and the entire law enforcement community as well as the partnerships we’ve been able to forge with our residents. The neighborhood crime watches and the community’s eyes and ears have been invaluable in continuing to drive down the crime numbers. This is a very positive trend that we hope, with your help, will continue into the future.

otherhood changes a woman's life in ways she never imagined, but when a mother becomes a grandmother, her life is once again altered, and she discovers brand-new levels of love, joy, and devotion. In our book about grandmothers, Terrie Todd shares her beautiful story On becoming a grandmother. She writes: I thought I was prepared. I was a mother, after all. I already knew what it meant to love someone so much it hurt. I understood the old adage that to be a parent is to walk around forever with your heart outside your body. I had written in my journal, revealing all the emotions I'd discovered tagteaming in my heart: happiness, melancholy, anxiety, joy, anticipation, worry. I had seen the ultrasound pictures. I would crocheted a soft, fuzzy blue blanket, patiently undoing all my bungled stitches and doing them over so it would be a perfect square. I had memorized the verses in Psalm 139 that tell how God wonderfully forms us in our mother's womb. I had prayed for this child and for his parents daily since I learned of his existence. I had written letters to his mom and dad, assuring them how proud I was of them both, how I'd be as supportive as I knew how to be, how they would be excellent parents. I'd prayed for myself, too. I'd wrestled with the idea that I was going to be a grandmother. Shouldn't I be wiser first? Or sweeter? Or at the very least, a better cook? How exactly did one cram for this event? I had even admitted to myself that I would soon be sleeping with someone's grandfather. That idea took a little getting used to, let me tell you! I had bragged to my friends. I had celebrated with my mother. I had gifted my daughter-in-law with maternity clothes and bought the most irresistible little stuffed puppy for the baby. I had done all of that. I thought I was prepared for the to be a grandparent.

The day he was born, I rode along with his other grandparents to the hospital to meet our mutual little descendant for the first time. We were told to wait in the hallway while the nurses finished up whatever they were doing with him and his mother in the room. While I waited, I studied the instructional posters on the walls, filled with advice for new parents. I remembered how challenging those first few days could be. Given the hospital rules, I fully expected that my first sight of my little grandson would be in his plastic baby bed, and I was prepared. When I turned around, I instantly knew that no amount of groundwork could have prepared me for that moment. Instead of the expected baby bed, I was beholding my own firstborn carrying his firstborn in his arms. I came unglued. Part of me was carried back 26 years to the day I first laid eyes on my son. Those 26 years had passed in an instant, and here I was looking at the next generation, with the same dark skin and the same head full of thick, dark hair. He was beautiful, and I was smitten. I didn't even try to check the tears running down my cheeks as I held him in my arms and hugged his dad as tight as I could with the baby between us. What a cherished moment! This little boy is about to turn 3 years old and now has a baby brother. Every day brings new adventures, new things to learn, new memories to make and new opportunities to wonder at the marvelous work of our Creator. These little guys have taught me that sometimes stopping to watch ducks is more important than getting in out of the rain. They've uncovered my own impatient ways, the ones I thought I had overcome. They've reminded me that time spent cuddling a sleeping baby in a rocking chair trumps pretty much anything. Most of all, I've come to realize that no matter how hard I tried, I could not have prepared to love someone so profusely, or to learn so much from someone so small.

Dear Paw's Corner: My 1-year-old dog, Clemente, gets extremely anxious whenever I leave home. He barks nonstop, as my neighbor has mentioned repeatedly. I put him in his crate whenever I leave, but it doesn't matter if I'm gone for 20 minutes or all day— he will not stop barking until I get home. I tried leaving him out of the crate when I go out for short periods, but then he just barks, claws at the door, and scatters my shoes everywhere. What else can I do? —Beth N., Brooklyn, New York Dear Beth: Reducing your pet's anxiety when you leave home can be really tough. Regardless of his history— whether he was a shelter adoption or brought home from a litter—Clemente's perception is that you are leaving, and he doesn't know why or for how long. How will he eat if you're gone for days? Why won't you take him with you? A lot of things are running through his mind. Even if you just go out of sight for a few minutes, some pets get really wor-
ried. I've come out of the bathroom to find my dog and cats clustered together, staring up at me mutely with eyes that seem to say, where did you GO? There are many things to try, all of which involve reassuring Clemente that you will come home. Contact a trainer who specializes in easing anxiety (Clemente's vet may have some good recommendations). Most importantly, do it soon. Right now he's got some anxiety, but that could develop into more destructive behaviors. Now is the time to really build that relationship with your dog and help him feel more confident that you are always there for him.

Senior Service Line Summer Heat Safety
Surger y? Laser? Implants?? Stitches?
by Matilda Charles
arts of the country are seeing dangerous triple-digit temperatures, and seniors are the most at-risk for health problems with the record-breaking heat. We just can’t cool down as fast once we get overheated, and sometimes we’re not aware of how hot it really is. Safety needs to be our biggest concern. If you have central air conditioning, turn it on. If you have window units, turn them on. Block off rooms by shutting doors if necessary to keep a cool zone in your home. Don’t try to get by with just fans, especially when the temperature is over 90 degrees F. All they do is push the hot air around, which can dehydrate you faster than you can replenish with liquids. Keep an eye on the Heat Index (how hot it feels). Drink plenty of water. Stay away from sugary drinks. Call your doctor’s office to ask how many ounces of water you should drink in a day. Be sure to mention any medications you’re taking, since some of those can cause dehydration. If you have a chronic medical

condition, the heat can affect you more quickly and more severely. Stay away from alcohol. If you have to go out in the heat, drink water before you go and take some with you. Remember your pets, and bring them indoors with you. Make sure they have plenty of water. They also can suffer physical problems from the heat, including heat stroke. Stay indoors during the hottest part of the day. Check out places that are normally air conditioned (sometimes called Cool Zones), such as the library, malls, government buildings, senior centers, and grocery stores. Try calling the information 2-1-1 number for a list of cooling centers near you.

Veteran’s Post Good News On PTSD King Features
clinical trial has shown that the addition of just one care component can improve outcomes for those with PTSD. The component was specially trained care managers and telephone therapy. After one year, those who had telephone-based therapy saw significant improvements in recovery, compared with those who didn't have the teletherapy. The telephone therapy aspect was seen as a way to get around the stigma of showing up to see a mental-health specialist. The specially trained care managers were key, too, and served to coordinate between the patient and the overall care team. The non-profit research organization RAND Corporation, in collaboration with the Department of Defense and two universities, began the study back in 2012. More than 600 military personnel at various bases were divided into two programs. One group got the standard care: screening for PTSD and depression. Nurses would call monthly to ask about symptoms. The other group got the upgraded care: In addition to the above, the nurses
A

were specially trained, and psychologists would make the telephone calls to do therapy, as well as offer face-toface meetings. Psychologists, psychiatrists, and care managers would review the information on a weekly basis and suggest changes if necessary. The bonus is that the telephone therapy likely will get more people to seek care sooner, reducing the time to begin treatment. It's thought that between 13 percent and 18 percent of active military or veterans suffer from PTSD, depression, or anxiety after they've been deployed. Only half of those receive mentalhealth services. The clinical trial isn't currently taking on new participants. Still, if you want to read the particulars, go online to clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT0149238 If you're interested, it wouldn't hurt to talk to your care provider about it. The contact info for medical personnel is at the bottom of the webpage.
