Those Were The Days arly Florida was a place to conquer for it had not become the state we now know as the Sunshine State. Daytona Beach had not become known as the World’s Most Famous Beach. Automobiles had not become prevalent and it could not have been predicted that the future of this area would be a meeting ground for automobile racing fans and that visitors from all over the world would be our heritage. LeRoy Bowers was born and raised on a farm in Bunnell, Florida. His family was in the business of raising cattle. Bowers spent most of his 94 years on the East Coast of Florida, with the exception of time served as a paratrooper during WWII. Just out of school, at 17 years of age, he went into the Army. D-Day came in June 1944 and LeRoy was one of thousands prepared for the American and British invasion of Normandy, a province of France. The plan included the American 82nd and 101st airborne divisions, scheduled to land and secure the eastern and western flanks of the beachhead by destroying bridges and occupying both sides of the river. Another task was to secure the causeways and exits to four marshlands near the coast. The paratroopers descent took just one minute and by that time, the Germans were shooting at anything in the sky. Many men lost their lives trying to land. LeRoy Bowers had a bullet pass through his right arm, in one side and out the other. At first it was thought that he would lose the arm but medics were able to save it. The successful D-Day invasion began a series of victories for the Allies and Germany surrendered less than a year later. After the war, Bowers memories include the early years of Daytona’s development as a racing capital for he, at that time, worked for a paving company

responsible for making sure the beach was hard packed, smooth, and ready for the races. He also had to see that the beach approaches were repaved just before each race and in proper condition to receive the traffic created by this special venture. Those were the days when A1A was a two-lane road with an accumulation of sand on both sides. From Ormond Beach through Daytona Beach—all the way to the Inlet— covered about 18 miles of packed sand and offered the perfect solution to drivers of new, innovative, automobiles. At that time, who could have predicted that Big Bill France would come to Florida, pick up on beach racing, and eventually turn this town into a racing mecca. Even the name of the street where Daytona Speedway is now located was once known as Volusia Avenue. It eventually became International Speedway Boulevard. Many thanks to men like LeRoy Bowers, a Purple Heart recipient, for all you have done for our town, our state, and our country. Kitty Maiden is a staff writer for Seniors Today.

Expectations vs. Reality o you want to buy a house? Where do you start? My recommendation is for you to find a good Realtor. This week we will focus on what home you want for you and your family. Here is an example of what one customer said to me. “We would like a 3 bedroom, 2 bath house and a bonus room. A screened in back porch and a pool would really be nice. Absolutely, a fenced back yard! A two car garage minimum, but 3 would be great. No HOA. We don’t like rules! At least an acre but near the beach.” In my mind, I am saying yippee, yah yah. A really high end great buyer! Then I say, “Have you been pre-qualified?” The very nice naïve people said that they were pre-qualified by several lenders via internet. I then asked, “What is your price range?” They looked at me with such kind eyes and honesty and said, “$125,000.” Holy Moly! This isn’t going to work! Lesson to be learned, you need to get pre-qualified. Your agent can help you find the right local lender. Someone you can look in the eye when things go wrong. Once you find out the amount you can spend and the type of loan you qualify for, the game begins. Get out a piece of paper and write the things most important to you. Location. Kid friendly. School district. 55 and older community. Near the beach. Number of bedrooms and baths. Garage or carport. Pool. Fenced yard. Screened porch. Condo or

Real Estate Matters …by Jean Ivis, REALTOR attached home. Near the ocean. Near dog park. Trails to walk. Near the hospital. On and on and on. So many variables. Your criteria will help your professional Realtor find what is available for you in your price range and which house will match the loan requirements. Examples of that would be that some loans require newer roofs, no wood decay, or updated electrical boxes. It is also a way to avoid getting your heart set on a house that just won’t fit in your financial situation. Now is the time to be flexible on you wants. Your decision now will be dictated by your price range and type of loan. All of a sudden the 4th bedroom might not be as important. You could live with a one car garage. The pool can come later. When you decide on what is necessary, you are ready to find your dream home. Happy hunting. Please feel free to call or e-mail your questions or topics. I will be back in the next issue.

The Benefits Of A Sound Choice Special to Seniors Today ouch. Taste. Smell. Sight. Sound. All are important. However, one might emphasize the ability to hear distinct sounds like a child’s laughter or a familiar song. When loss of hearing is noticed, people are face with tough decisions such as where to go, who to see, and how to move forward with a quality of life. Since 2004, Florida State Hearing Aids has provided more affordable solutions with a wider variety of hearing aids. This has been the long-

standing vision of owner and Licensed Hearing Aid Specialist, Julie Pruitt. Along with her friend and Patient Care Coordinator, Samantha Carpenter, Pruitt felt that “pricing was too high” at other companies where patients have limited options. Nationally Board Certified in Hearing Instrument Sciences, Pruitt believes that one size does not fit all. “Different people need different technology,” she adds as she can better fit patients with an array of choices. Quality, durable brands like Starkey and Siemens have proven to produce

t’s a banner year for feeding or migrating swarms of dragonflies hovering around our patio. Since May, I’ve watched them spin, dive, dart, flitter, and miraculously avoid colliding into each other. There are more than 5,000 known species of dragonflies. I can’t identify the ones I’ve seen this year, but they all have the same family name: Odonata meaning toothed one in Greek. If you examine them closely you’ll see serrated mandibles. Dragonflies catch their prey by grabbing them with their feet; efficiently successful up to 95 percent of the time. Tops on their chef’s list are fresh mosquitoes. All of us who have scratched, bled, swatted, or swabbed those itchy bites need to credit dragonfly appetites for eliminating 30 to hundreds of mosquitoes per day. Life may be brief, a few weeks or a year, but they’re not hungry while they’re here. It’s genuinely fascinating to watch dragonflies swarm. Aeronautical engineers are awed and hope to design robots that fly with such skill. These winged acrobats can fly straight up and down, hover like a helicopter and even mate in mid-air. Genius! Dragonflies have super-hero vision with large eyes dominating their head. They can see from every angle except directly behind them, so if you want to capture one, sneak up on it. Weeks ago, I found a large dragonfly on our patio; dead and perfectly preserved. I was participating in a Casements Camera Club photo challenge, so I picked up the dead beauty and posed it on a red cloth. When I saw the photo results, I was amazed with its patterns and colors that I would not normally see. The dragonfly was exquisite. I had never noticed; that’s sad. The dragonfly in many cultures is symbolic. Legends are created about its magical properties. People wear jewelry and tee-shirts, they make posters for meditation. Since the dragonfly goes through a metamorphosis, changing from one form and one life-support in a pond to another creation with incredible flying skills and potential, we see its story as parallel inspiration for our own. We change, always, daily, struggling to eat, mate, create, and maintain our tenuous lives of limited length. Our sizes, colors, and appearances are unique, yet alike. We all need to love and be loved, to fill the deepest rifts of belonging. All the days of our lives, the pursuits of dreams drive us. We can escape the

Happy Talk …by George & Peggy Goldtrap

confines of infancy, our nymph stage, but we mature as basically the same. We are people seeking other people, searching food to fill our souls. Some think the dragonfly symbolizes death or is a message from a loved one who has passed. I don’t know about that. So far, I haven’t had an e-mail from eternity. We did run into a guardian angel on our trip to Tennesse, so I’m open to revelations. A dragonfly landed, full-winged, on a solar flower. Slowly he relaxed until his whole body rested. I didn’t disturb his reverie nor even with giant almost 360 degree eyes, did he notice me. ‘You’re welcome to come and sit on my patio. I won’t intrude on your privacy. I promise to look, not touch; just watch and admire.’

The world is as magical and fragile as dragonfly wings. It’s filled with people and their stories, but how do I hear them? I’m hungry to know more about everything but encased in a cocoon of comfort I acquiesce to the role of observer, but criticize my gross lack of knowledge. Beyond our dragonfly lives lie worlds to discover and explore. A greater seer exists, a giver of wisdom, a provider of crutches when we can walk no further; a healer who says be calm. We are all captives of earth-span but eternal in spirit and soul.

Happy Father’s Day

Life has never looked better at...

Where It All Began! Special to Seniors Today his year Father’s Day will be celebrated on Sunday, June 17. Father’s Day became a national holiday after President Woodrow Wilson officially made Mother’s Day official. The same day Fathers Day became a nationwide holiday in the United States. There was more to it though. The campaign to celebrate the nation’s fathers did not meet with the same enthusiasm—maybe because, dads may not have the same sentimental appeal that moms do.” On July 5, 1908, a church in West Virginia sponsored the first event in honor of fathers, a Sunday sermon in memory of the 362 men who had died in the previous December’s explosions at the Fairmont Coal Company mines in Monongah, but it was a one-time commemoration and not an annual holiday. The next year, a Spokane, Washington, lady named Sonora Smart Dodd, one of six children raised by a widower, tried to establish an official equivalent to Mother’s Day for male parents. She went to local churches, the YMCA, shopkeepers, and government officials to drum up support for her idea, and she was successful: Washington State celebrated the first statewide Father’s Day on June 19, 1910. Slowly, the holiday spread. In 1916, President Wilson honored the day by using telegraph signals to unfurl a flag in Spokane when he pressed a button in Washington, D.C. Then in 1924, President Calvin Coolidge urged state governments to observe Father’s Day. Today, the day honoring fathers is celebrated in the United States on the third Sunday of June. In other countries–especially in Europe and Latin America—fathers are honored on St. Joseph’s Day, a traditional Catholic holiday that falls on March 19.

Many men, however, continued to disdain the day. As one historian writes, they “scoffed at the holiday’s sentimental attempts to domesticate manliness with flowers and gift-giving, or they derided the proliferation of such holidays as a commercial gimmick to sell more products—often paid for by the father himself.” In the 1920s and 1930s, a movement arose to scrap Mother’s Day and Father’s Day altogether in favor of a single holiday, Parents’ Day. Every year on Mother’s Day, pro-Parents’ Day groups rallied in New York City’s Central Park—a public reminder, However, the Great Depression derailed this effort to combine and decommercialize the holidays. Retailers and advertisers redoubled their efforts to make Father’s Day a second Christmas for men, promoting goods such as neckties, hats, socks, pipes and tobacco, golf clubs and other sporting goods, and greeting cards. When World War II began, advertisers began to argue that celebrating Father’s Day was a way to honor American troops and support the war effort. By the end of the war, Father’s Day may not have been a federal holiday, but it was a national institution. In 1972, in the middle of a hard-fought presidential re-election campaign, Richard Nixon signed a proclamation making Father’s Day a federal holiday at last. Today, economists estimate that Americans spend more than $1 billion each year on Father’s Day gifts.

Antiques Yellow Fan Clock ome of the most popular clocks made after 1944 in the mid-century modern style were designed by an architect and journalist. George Nelson (1908-1986) graduated with a degree in architecture in 1931. He went to Europe and wrote magazine articles praising the famous designers and introducing both their ideas and his to the U.S. He suggested the open-plan house, storage walls, and family rooms, which all are popular today. Herman Miller, the furniture maker, asked him to become the design director of his company. That was the beginning of his many still-collected designs, like the Marshmallow sofa, Coconut chair, and the Ball clock. Howard Miller Clock Co. produced over 30 different wall clocks based on his idea of an almost-round face with geometric additions or subtractions and simple hands. Some were just a group of sticks with colored balls at the end that radiated from the center to form a circle. There was no frame, no glass and no numbers. Each design for a clock was made in many different colors. The Fan clock was designed in about 1954. It looks like a folded star-shaped cutout. A yellow Fan clock sold for $3,625 at the Los Angeles Modern auction in Van Nuys, California, in 2016. A black version sold at the same auction and brought $2,250.

The original fan clocks ran on electricity, but you can substitute a battery so no cord will show. Save and reinstall the old parts before you sell the clock or the value will be less. *** Q: I have three Mr. Peanut glass jars with Planters, a picture of Mr. Peanut and 75th anniversary embossed on both sides. They are about 81⁄4 inches tall and have lids. The dates 1861 and 1906 also are on the jars. What are they worth? A:You're reading one of the dates wrong. The 75th anniversary of Planters was in 1981. If you read 1981 upside down, it looks like 1861. The company started as Planters Nut and Chocolate Co. in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, in 1906. Mr. Peanut was adopted as a trademark in 1916. The company was bought by Standard Brands in 1961. Standard Brands merged with Nabisco in 1981. Some of the Mr. Peanut jars have been reproduced. These jars sell for $5 to $10 each. For more collecting news, tips and resources, visit www.Kovels.com

s the weather heats up, the pavement does too. “Usually when it’s about 70–80 degrees, that asphalt is at least 100– 130 degrees already,” said Dr. Green of the Halifax Humane Society. You can only imagine how the pavement feels on a 90 degree day, which could hurt your pets paws. “The heat can blister them and make ulcers that are very sore and pads don't heal very good. They're slow to heal. They're hard to keep clean (especially when they're young),” explained Dr. Green. “Young pets have really thin, uncalcified paw pads.” That makes them more susceptible to burns. However, you can protect them and keep them safe while letting them get their daily exercise. “A good rule of thumb when it's hot out for asphalt for walking dogs is if you can place the back of your hand on the asphalt and it's too hot after five seconds, it's too hot for your dog's paws,” explained Dr. Green.

They may not like it at first, but persistence will help them get acclimated to wearing the paw protectors. Pawz Booties come in a variety of colors and sizes and are in stock at the Halifax Humane Society. Barry KuKes is the Community Outreach Director for the Halifax Humane Society.

I always want to highlight the outstanding police work that's occurring in our county, sometimes below the radar. Every day, I read captain’s reports or hear things over our radio that never cease to amaze me. I see evidence of the talented, caring people who put everything they have into protecting the innocent and holding criminals accountable for their crimes. Recently, Deputy Jim Greene came upon a suspicious vehicle, discovered a man in the vehicle was overdosing on heroin and administered two doses of Narcan to save his life. In a similar case, Deputy Michael Vanzo responded to a medical call where he discovered another male overdose victim. He administered two doses of Narcan and the victim responded to it. That's two lives saved because deputies were there to take action. Just the other day, we encountered an individual driving a stolen car. We became aware of it thanks to a License Plate Reader, which alerted deputies Brett Whitson and Martin Fletcher, who pulled up to the car and boxed it in. The criminal decided to ram a patrol car and flee. When he did that, our deputies kept their heads cool and followed policy. They didn’t use deadly force. They didn’t fire into a moving car. They used a tactical pause and with the help of Sgt. Cody Cochran and all the other deputies involved, they were able to stop-stick the car and safely take the driver into custody. What did we discover was on the front seat of that car? A 4-year-old. Deputies had no idea that that 4-yearold was in that car, not to mention a 15-year-old runaway in the back. By using that tactical pause and following our policy, we didn’t indiscriminately fire into the car, endangering the life of the 4-year-old. Instead, we saved the life of the little kid and took the scumbag driver to jail. In yet another recent situation, we saw Sgt. LeCates and several deputies serving paperwork when a male came charging at them with a flashlight, held like a gun, screaming, “Shoot me, shoot me, shoot me!” These deputies read the situation, deployed a Taser and took the suspect to jail.

…Volusia County Sheriff Chitwood

You don’t hear about all of these stories on the news. Our deputies are out there, day in and day out, doing what our policy says: preserving the sanctity of human life, making sure that we all go home safely, and we give that bad guy the opportunity to go to jail safely. I can’t tell you how proud I am of the outstanding level of service that we provide this community. Whether our deputies have experienced 30 years on the job or just put on the badge, our goal is the same: At the end of the day (or night), I want everyone to go home safely to their loved ones. I say a prayer for our deputies, our community, and our country every night, and I hope you will, too. Thank you for your support of the men and women of the Volusia County Sheriff's Office!

LSVT BIG

Rehabilitative Therapy For People With Parkinson’s Disease LSVT BIG therapy is a researched -based, standardized exercise program that has been proven effective for people with Parkinson’s Disease—improving major motor skills, promoting increased strength, and encouraging changes in brain function. The BIG therapy is adapted from the principles behind the successful Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT), which has a proven track record of helping Parkinson’s patients speak confidently with more clarity.

LSVT BIG INCLUDES: • High-intensity, exaggerated repetitions of whole body movements that increase dopamine production in the brain. This improves muscle function and helps offset the slow motor movements associated with Parkinson’s. • Large-amplitude movements incorporated into activities of daily living • Motivational, positive feedback which reinforces success and teaches self-monitoring LSVT BIG SESSIONS: • 16 individual therapy sessions • 1 hour/day, 4 times/week • Daily homework • Pre- and post-evaluation sessions

r. Wilhoit did not expect to see Marci in such a state. Her clothes were ruffled and her hair had not been washed in a couple of weeks. Her hair lay tight against her head as if she had been pulling it down against her scalp. Marci had a nice long dark brown hair she took care of Dr. Wilhoit, remembered prior to Isaiah, Sr.’s death. Her skin was very pale and there were bags starting to develop under her eyes from the crying and the lack of sleep he surmised. “What is wrong child,” he asked her as walked into the room and went and stood by where she was sitting. Marci looked up at Dr. Wilhoit and gave out a sigh. “I know this has been hard on you and I am really not qualified to counsel someone, but I can be a good listener,” he said and waited for a response. Marci did not say anything just sat there looking towards the bedroom window. Dr. Wilhoit walked over to the window and looked out over the front yard. He was struggling to say something when Marci spoke. Her voice was low and soft and he struggled to hear what she was saying. “I never thought I would ever love someone as much as I loved Isaiah,” she said still staring toward the window. “But now you have Isaiah, Jr. to love and he needs his mother,” Dr. Wilhoit said still staring out the window and searching for the right words to use. Marci stood from her chair and slowly walked towards Dr. Wilhoit until the two of them were looking out the window. “Cora Mae and Frank got what they wanted, someone to carry on the Dalton name, but I lost the most important person in my life,” she said as tears started to run down her cheeks. For the first time in several years Marci began to feel the same resentment that she felt when she had been brought to the Dalton farm. She started to remember the day that she was sold by her stepfather and loaded on a wagon to be brought to Holmes County. It was a memory she had tried hard to forget. As those memories started to stream back to her she felt sick at her stomach and started to feel weak. Marci steadied herself by placing her hand on Dr. Wilhoit’s arm and he reached out and caught her as she fell down by his side. He placed her on the bed and stepped to the door and called for Cora Mae. Cora Mae was sitting in the living room rocking Isaiah, Jr. when she heard Dr. Wilhoit call for her. Isaiah, Jr. was asleep and she laid him in the basinet by the rocking chair and went to Marci’s room.

Winding Roads …by Byron Spires

When she entered the room she could see Marci stretched out on the bed and Dr. Wilhoit holding her hand and checking her pulse. “I believe she is alright, and just fainted from lack of nourishment,” he told Cora Mae. “This young lady is seriously depressed and I don’t really know what to do about that,” he said as he lay Marci’s hand by her side. He had seen women depressed after childbirth, but none as bad as Marci. Something had to be done, he explained to Cora Mae, or Marci was not going to get better. “What I do know is that she needs to eat and the only way I can know she is eating is put her in the hospital for a few days and see if we can get her physically better,” he said as he walked Cora Mae to the bedroom door. Cora Mae agreed with Dr. Wilhoit, like him she was at her wits end about what to do to help Marci get well. “Maybe it will give her a chance to get her strength back,” she said with a slight bit of hope in her voice. “I’ll have the ambulance out late this afternoon to pick her up,” Dr. Wilhoit told her. He gave Cora Mae instructions about Marci nursing Isaiah, Jr. before she left for the hospital and that she would have to come to the hospital in the morning and afternoons to let Marci nurse him. “We’ll give it 24 hours and see how she progresses, otherwise you may have to spend the night with the baby for the feeding times tomorrow,” he said as he bent over Isaiah, Jr.’s bassinet and watched him sleep. “He looks just like his father,” Dr. Wilhoit told Cora Mae as he headed for his car. Just as Dr. Wilhoit had said the ambulance showed up in the late afternoon. Cora Mae took Isaiah, Jr. to his mother and let him nurse before the orderlies came up stairs. Cora Mae had expected Marci to complain about leaving and going to the hospital, but she did not say a word as they helped her down the stairs and onto the porch. Cora Mae held Isaiah, Jr. in her arms as she watched Marci being helped into the back of the ambulance. “We will be down their first thing in the morning to check on you,” she told Marci as she climbed slowly into the ambulance. Marci stood for a second and looked back at her. With very little emotion she nodded her head at Cora Mae. You can contact Byron Spires via email at windingroads@netzero.com

What’s In The Stars For The Week Of June 18 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Cheer up, Lamb. Your emotional impasse will lift once you allow your highly tuned sense of justice to guide you on what to do about an associate's behavior. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) News about a project you hoped to work on needs more clarification. Take nothing just on faith. Draw up a list of questions, and insist on each being answered. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Giving your time to help others is fine. Don't lose sight of your own needs. Make plans for an energy-restoring getaway with that very special person in your life. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Congratulate yourself on getting that difficult job done to everyone's satisfaction. This could be the first of many such challenges you might be offered. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) With your enthusiasm soaring again, you feel ready to tackle a tough new assignment. Good for you! Remember: Don't be too proud to accept help when it's offered. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Cupid rules the week for single Virgos eager to make a romantic connection. Meanwhile, Virgo couples experience renewed commitment in their relationships.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Home and work issues vie for your attention through early next week. Rely on your sense of balance to keep you from being overwhelmed by either side. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Creative projects might have to go on standby as you tackle other matters making demands on your time. Things should ease up by the end of the month. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Your energies are high, and so are your aspirations. Be careful not to let work dominate the week. It's also important to spend time with family and friends. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) It's a good time to set aside your pride and stop nursing those hurt feelings. Instead, consider restoring relationships you want to have back in your life. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You might be miffed at not being shown more appreciation for your hard work. Don't brood over it. Recognition comes in its own time and in its own way. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) With your inner creative juices starting to boil and bubble, this is a good time to launch a new arts-related project, or go back and restart the one you had set aside.

Here’s An Idea Sun Burn Relief by JoAnn Derson • Sunburn relief: Take two nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories right away (aspirin, ibuprofen) and soak a cloth in cold milk. Drape over the burn until it warms to room temperature. Repeat if necessary and apply a light moisturizer. • When purchasing clothes for a loved one in a care facility, look for garments that are comfortable and stylish, but double-check that they do not require any special care, like ironing or dry cleaning. Also, be sure they are labeled clearly with the person's name. —C.G. in Michigan • If you want your chocolate chip cookies to really pop, sprinkle lightly with course sea salt before baking. They do not come out tasting salty. Rather, the salt enhances the sweetness and make the whole thing extra delicious. • When you shop for shoes, go in the evening. Feet swell and expand throughout the day, so if you buy shoes in the morning, the fit might

not feel too good later in the day. —A.T. in Louisiana • I make my grilled cheese sandwiches with mayonnaise instead of butter. I know it sounds gross, but it is so good. The oil and egg in the mayo flavor and crisp the bread without leaving it too greasy. —S.O. in Alabama • To ease the ache of a brain freeze after eating or drinking something really cold, simply cup your hands over your mouth and nose. Blow out hot air, and it recirculates to warm your palate in seconds. Works like a charm. Send your tips to Here’s a Tip, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O.

Dear Dr. Roach: My 93-year-old mom is in good condition, except for a kidney disease that has been good for the past 26 years and has had very good reports from her medical practitioner and kidney specialist. One thing that stresses me is why she complains of being sick all the time. Is it because she wants attention, or just wants people to feel sorry for her? I am her daughter, and our family is just upset because of the way she acts. She does have depression, but she has been given depression pills. Please give me some information as to why she is doing this. As her daughter, I need TLC, and I need to know how to handle this situation. —A.M.A. Answer: Based on no more information than you have just given me, I would suspect that she complains about being sick all the time because she feels sick all the time. She probably needs some TLC herself. At 93, I believe she's earned the right to be the one on the receiving end. Depression may be the cause of her not feeling well, as it so often is. Unfortunately, medication for depression is completely effective for only a minority of people. Depression goes hand in hand with many other illnesses, especially those with chronic pain. I worry that there is a problem you don't know about. Consider accompanying your mother to her next doctor's visit, as I am certain she has done for you. *** Dear Dr. Roach: I am a 48-year-old woman in pretty good health. I was a smoker for 30-plus years and quit about three years ago. I don't have any signs of COPD or other lung ailments yet, but I fear they are just around the corner. My question is, is there anything I can do now to postpone or prevent the onset of these diseases, or at least decrease their severity? —V.M. Answer: Not all smokers will develop COPD. Some smokers are more susceptible than others to the effects of the many toxic chemicals in tobacco smoke. Conversely, some nonsmokers can develop COPD, especially those who lack a protective enzyme, alpha-1 antitrypsin; this is more likely in those exposed to secondhand smoke or other airborne pollutants. Quitting smoking is by far the most important action you can take to re-

duce your risk of developing lung disease, but there may be others. Avoid other airborne pollutants, especially other smokers, but also dusts and fumes. Some preliminary evidence suggests that statin drugs might slow down COPD, but there are conflicting studies, and I don't recommend them just for COPD. Regular exercise may help, and it certainly helps your heart and many other systems. The new booklet on Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease explains both emphysema and chronic bronchitis, the two elements of COPD, in detail. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Roach—No. 601W, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient's printed name and address. Please allow 4-6 weeks for delivery. Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may e-mail questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu

Moments In Time Byrds Debut The History Channel

• On June 18, 1983, the space shuttle Challenger is launched on its second mission. Aboard the shuttle was Dr. Sally Ride, who as a mission specialist became the first American woman to travel into space. Ride, an astrophysicist from Stanford University, operated the shuttle's robot arm, which she had helped design. • On June 19, 1953, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, convicted of conspiring to pass U.S. atomic secrets to the Soviets, are executed at Sing Sing Prison in New York. Both proclaimed their innocence right up to the time of their deaths. • On June 20, 1782, Congress adopts the Great Seal of the United States after six years of discussion. The front of the seal depicts a bald eagle clutching an olive branch in its right talon and arrows in its left, with a shield marked with 13 vertical red and white stripes on its breast.

• On June 21, 1965, the Byrds' debut album, Mr. Tambourine Man, is released and marks the beginning of the folk-rock revolution. In just a few months, the Byrds had become a household name. • On June 22, 1611, the starving crew of the Discovery mutinies against its captain, English navigator Henry Hudson, and sets him, his teenage son, and seven supporters adrift in a small, open boat in Hudson Bay. The castaways were never seen again. • On June 23, 1902, German automaker Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft registers Mercedes as a brand name. A three-point star was registered as a trademark in 1909 and used on all Mercedes vehicles after 1910. • On June 24, 1948, the Soviet Union blocks all road and rail traffic to and from West Berlin. Panic set in as its population worried about food, water, and medical aid. Just two days later, the United States began a massive airlift of supplies into West Berlin.

It is painless, has less side effects and often times is more cosmetically appealing than surgery.
