Once Upon A Time… ometimes you just want to be closer to family so, years ago, I moved from a home area church to Covenant (about 12 or 15 miles south of my home) to share with my youngest daughter and family. Soon after I started going there, I met the lady choir director, Leigh. Music was our common denominator and soon I became a member of the choir. Time proved out what a talent this music minister was blessed with. Little by little, I learned more about her. Each year, the choir leaders of many churches meet in January to review new and experienced artists and the music they have to offer for the coming year. One year I had the pleasure of attending with Leigh. It was a memorable occasion for me, hearing the artists… being given copies of their songs and listening as a few, then all the choir masters began singing along. In time, Leigh’s dream of working with talented young people became a reality. For a while, I worked along with her. I remember when she asked me to audition the boys and girls for one of the first shows. Later I did the brochures, posters, etc. It has been a long time since I was involved in the Centennial Academy Fine Arts (CAFA) but have attended many of their shows. The last two shows were Cinderella at Covenant and Lion King at the new Venetian Bay Park. CAFA recently celebrated its 20th Anniversary! Leigh Slayback and husband David worked diligently to impress their talents upon thousands of CAFA alumni and many students have gone on to achieve wonderful things. Some have taken the stage on national television. A new field of endeavor is now taking place in Venetian Bay. There is a lovely park next to the clock tower where several show people have performed.

You Name It …by Kitty Maiden

Centennial Academy Fine Arts production of the ‘Lion King.’ The latest CAFA show was at that location. It was the Lion King. The CAFA Kids did a wonderful job and their costuming was awesome! CAFA’s statement stands for all the kids, the shows, the parents involvements, and the heart of the lady who chose to help the children achieve a place where they could learn, enjoy, and perform. It reads: “We are a group of caring individuals who use our combined talents to teach your child the skills it takes to be a part of the performing arts community. We come from all different places. We have different skills and backgrounds. However, one thing we share is a love for theater coupled with a love for young people. Rest assured that your students will be instructed in an encouraging environment.” That statement reminds me of a song title (as do many things…) Who Could Ask For Anything More.

Honey Do, Honey Don’t by Peggy Goldtrap en hate ‘Honey Do’ lists. Potty training was the ultimate ‘honey do’ and men have been in rebellion ever since. Men have repressed memories of toddlerhood and a gigantic mother figure snatching their independence with the promise of a cookie. The art of cajolery and cookies continues as boy/men have to be bribed to do what is only in their ‘best interest.’ It is the wise man who arises early and asks his partner; “What can I do for you today?” It is a blessed woman who hears her man say: “Sweetie, whatever you want, name it. When do you want me to start?” Ladies, have you ever heard those statements? I thought not. Were there such a spouse, that existed, Marital Peace would reign throughout the world. Unfortunately, sentences beginning with ‘Honey’ are clues for men to vacate the premises. Our household had 4 boys, including GAG. When I said: ‘Honey….’ eight feet thundered out the door. The womenfolk were left with the chores. GAG has unlimited time to devote to his hobbies, particularly senior softball, a healthy recreation. He spends hours on the computer trying to make life simpler for the guys in his league. He’s never too tired, stressed, or busy to ‘take one’ for the team. If neighbors need tasks or errands, GAG’s agreeable, smiling, and whistling a happy tune. If our children or grandchildren need a phone hug, he’s a generous, compassionate ‘papa.’ He corresponds with people via phone, e-mail, etc. He writes columns for Seniors Today and other publications. GAG spends an inordinate amount of time in behalf of our condo association. I appreciate this because my name is on the deed. GAG is a splendid human being, no doubt, no question, and he reminds me of his greatness daily. Unfortunately, when I nudge him about jobs he promised to do almost a year ago, Dr. Jeckyll disappears and Mr. Hyde rises to his 6’4” frame declaring his disdain of nagging at him. ‘I’ll do it if you leave me alone. The more you nag me, the longer it will take for me to do the job. Can’t a man just be left alone?’ ‘Yeah,’ retorts the female, ‘but you won’t like it.’ When GAG does schedule a ‘honey do,’ he wants hallelujah praise and angels humming. If he did replace the missing screw, or hang pictures (where I actually wanted them), or reposition the shower rod, I’d have to send out 300 e-mails extolling his virtues or he would declare himself victimized by slave-driving. When our kitchen was lost to a leak, we opted for glass-enclosed cabinets beneath a dining room counter. The cabinets were to be illuminated. The electrician promised

M

Happy Talk …by George & Peggy Goldtrap it would work; the designer thumbed up, but, like the walls of Jericho, the lights kept tumbling down. Apparently, granite undercounter resists adhesives. We’ve tried ‘guaranteed to grip’ but zip, so far. My illumination dreams are illusions; last place on the ‘honey do’ list. For years I told GAG that the master bathroom toilet didn’t flush correctly. He said: ‘It’s your ‘imagination. You’re looking for problems. The toilet works perfectly,’ and he’d demonstrate its proficiency with a smirk. My complaints were written off. It was nothing but my nagging, negative attitude. Fortunately another, more ‘commodious’ option was functioning. The dams of doom finally burst and a plumber was called. Mr. Man Plumber declared: ‘Yep, here’s your problem. This unit was built incorrectly, in the factory; it will never work; you should try to get your money back.” Maybe I’m petty and small, but I really wanted to stick GAG’s head in the nonfunctioning john. ‘Told you it didn’t work,’ I snarled at him. ‘Oh, I heard you, I just ignored you.’ There must be something in the male DNA that resists requests. It’s the two year old that screams: ‘NO! You can’t make me! I don’t want to, so I won’t!’ Men automatically hear ‘Blah, Blah, Blah’ from a female voice. Maybe if I spoke two octaves lower like one of the guys, he would pay attention. Maybe if I patted his head and told him he was a good boy, he’d ask for my ‘honey do’ list on his own. Or maybe if I offered homemade cookies, he’d jump to the job with a grin, not a grimace. With men, chores are a contest and winner takes all. ‘Alright, you win. I’ll cave in and do what you want.’ Or ‘You need to have confidence in me. If I said I’ll take care of it, I will.’ ‘Okay, I’m doing this today, anything to get you off my back.’ ‘Peg, have you seen my whatchamagidget? I’ll need that, can’t do the job without it.’ ‘No, you gave that away in 1998, with the lawnmower, the weed-whacker, the stepladder, the shingles, etc.’ ‘That’s right, you should have reminded me. I’ll have to get another one at the hardware store. They’re closed today. I’ll do it tomorrow.’ ‘But you promised that you’d….’ ‘Patience, you’ve gone this long, another 24 hours won’t hurt.’ (Twenty-four years is a greater likelihood.) These conversations continue in households across America. Avoiders versus agitators. Women insist. Men resist. Honey do, honey won’t.

July Fourth The Story Special to Seniors Today he United State celebrate American Independence Day on the Fourth of July every year. When you think of July 4, 1776, as a day that represents the Declaration Of Independence and the birth of the United States of America as an independent nation. July 4, 1776 wasn't the day that the Continental Congress decided to declare independence (they did that on July 2, 1776). It wasn’t the day that the American Revolution was started either—that happened back in April 1775. The first draft of the Declaration of Independence was written by Thomas Jefferson in June of 1776. They did not deliver the document to the Declaration to Great Britain until November 1776. Or signing date—that was August 2, 1776. So what happen on July 4, 1776? On July 4, 1776 The Continental Congress approved the final copy of the Declaration Of Independence. The Congress had been working on the document for a few days after the draft was submitted on July 2nd and had agreed on the final edits and changes. July 4, 1776 then became the date that was included on the Declaration Of Independence’s handwritten copy that is now displayed at the National Archives in Washington, D.C. It’s also the date that was printed on the original printed copies of the Declaration that were circulated throughout the new nation. So when people thought of the Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776 was the date they remembered. Fourth of July did not become a national holiday for years after the Declaration was written. It was not something people celebrated. There was too much going on in just becoming a nation.

10 Years

When the War of 1812 ended, the Federalist party started to come apart and the new parties of the 1820s and 1830s all considered themselves inheritors of Jefferson and the DemocraticRepublicans. Copies of the Declaration began to be passed around again, all dated July 4, 1776, at the top. When Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both died on July 4, 1826, it gave more weight to promoting the idea of July 4 as an important date to be celebrated. Almost 100 years after the Declaration was written it became common to celebrate the Fourth of July. Congress declared July 4 to be a national holiday as part of a bill to officially recognize several holidays—including Christmas. In 1939 and 1941, more legislation about national holidays— including July 4—was passed.

Page10—Seniors Today—June 30, 2017 Beware of Medicaid Pre-Planning Schemes edicaid is government assistance for long-term care. To qualify for Medicaid, one must meet certain requirements as to level of care required, income, and assets. We normally do not suggest that our clients transfer assets, other than to the spouse, in advance, with the hope that the transferor will later qualify for Medicaid. In Florida, to qualify for Medicaid after transferring assets to people other than the spouse, one must make the transfer at least five years prior to qualification. Transfers made within five years are deemed effective only once the person otherwise qualifies for Medicaid, not when actually made. Thus, if three years prior to application, one transferred assets to third parties, while they did not qualify for Medicaid, the transfer was deemed not to have occurred. We sometimes apply for Medicaid once a person otherwise qualifies, in order to be denied, to start the clock running. We frequently see advertisements and seminar invitations for Medicaid qualification products. Sometimes, these products involve annuities that supposedly can be converted to Medicaid qualification annuities once the person needs Medicaid. Although certain

M

Elder Law …by Michael A. Pyle

annuities can be used for Medicaid qualification in some situations, buying an annuity in advance may not accomplish the intended goal. Buying a qualified annuity at the time Medicaid is needed is not considered a transfer of assets, so there is no need to do so in advance. After examining clients’ assets and circumstances, we assist clients in determining eligibility for Medicaid and, if necessary, advising as to legal means of altering assets, in order to qualify. It is inappropriate to suggest that any type of annuity, trust, or other technique will automatically assure qualification. If you receive information on Medicaid-planning techniques from a nonattorney, or anybody, prior to needing nursing home care, be very wary before purchasing a product. Attorney Michael A.

his article is dedicated to the 26 year journey of Love Whole Foods—Markets and Cafes starting with family ties to Ormond going back nearly seven decades. My family established the first whole food store in Florida in 1991. Indeed, we still have our original mission statement. The sheet lists our product standards—what we would sell and what we would not. We are still dedicated to the well-being of our community with the simple concept: let your food be your medicine. We have evolved into what I now like to call a FARM-ACY. Our stores were the first to offer beautiful, fresh (and now local) organic produce along with whole food supplements. We invited DeLand Bakery to provide gluten free bread. We carried a complete homeopathic formulary for children, adults, and pets. From the very first year, we provided our community with the tools needed to make informed decisions on serious health issues. Long before Suzanne Somers got breast cancer, we provided the research by Dr. John R. Lee, M.D. on the risks of synthetic hormones and the advantages of bio-identical progesterone. He actually gave a presentation at our original Trails location and became a personal friend. That tradition has lived on with our January presentations by Dr. Susan Kolb, M.D. this country’s preeminent breast explant surgeon. She discussed her landmark book, The Naked Truth About Breast Implants, now available at both stores. Over fifty local women along with their husbands and even a few medical doctors attended. We helped launch and have supported the local medical doctor and pharmacist who created the nutraceutical brain supplement called Neural Balance to help combat autism. What have all these programs had in common? Our goal is to help our customers by supporting optimal wellness with safe, natural nutraceuticals thereby minimizing the need for synthetic agents. If drugs are necessary, which sometimes they are, then how do you minimize the risk factors and known side effects? The opiate addiction menace would be a good example. Our work with therapeutic turmeric has been remarkable. Like my original standards sheet, these programs meet a consistent level of scientific integrity. They are not infomercials. My mantra on my radio program: science driven, performance delivered! A good example would be when we hosted Dr. Richard Passwater’s program on Natural Factor’s life changing Bio-Sil product. He started by describing Canada’s strict labeling laws. In Canada, supplements are treated as drugs and are held to strict labeling standards. Claims must be substantiated with evidence based science which has to be reviewed and approved. This has enabled Natural Factors to actually have the ONLY skin and collagen/bone supplement available where clinical studies are directly printed on the display box.

So what is this remarkable Bio-Sil product? It is the number one hair, skin, and nail restoration product sold in Europe. Created by BioMinerals in Belgium, it is a unique matrix (chelate) of Ch-OSA silica. As Dr. Passwater explains, silica is the building block of collagen. Tough fibrous collagen not only holds our body together, but it plays a vital role in slowing down the skin’s aging process. More importantly, collagen plays a vital role in preventing the following aging problems: osteoporosis, joint deterioration, hardening of arterial walls and gum disease as well as brittle hair, skin, and nails. It may also have major cognitive benefits now being studied. When we are young, silica (the most abundant mineral on earth) levels in our body are high, our skin is supple and glowing, our joints and bones are elastic… flexible. As we age, silica levels decline and without significant restoration the signs of aging ensue. So why don’t we just eat sand? Simple answer: we can’t digest it. Natural Factors, by utilizing Passwater’s research, has chelated orthomolecular silica with a choline molecule to solve the absorption issue. The result as Dr. Passwater so aptly stated: “Bio-Sil doesn’t have side effects. It has side benefits.” I have become such a proponent of silica supplementation, that I was recently invited to give Dr. Passwater’s presentation at the Ormond Beach Public Library. The turnout was impressive: over fifty people both men and women—mostly women— attended. Why would that be? Because the ravages of osteoporosis and the complications from hip fractures impact women the most. A recent report from the Cleveland Clinic shows that over 300,000 American men and women over the age of 65 will suffer a life changing hip fracture this year. The cost to our health care system: a whopping 20 billion dollars! The solution is to fight the onset of the disease. Invest in your bone superstructure by making FLEXIBLE bone not just increasing bone density. The true test of either drug therapy or supplementation is whether you survive a simple slip and fall. If you missed my talk, I have been invited by the Health Ministry of the First Baptist Church of Palm Coast to discuss how to insure optimal flexible bone health. The church is located at 6050 Palm Coast Highway with details in the adjoining ad. Join us for free medical literature, free samples, and door prizes. To celebrate summer, both stores are featuring Natural Factor’s entire product line at 25 percent off for all of July. This will include our #1 selling Healthy Bones kit as well as all of their BioSil products. So don’t just jump—leap into summer but don’t worry if you stumble and fall. You’ve got Bio-Sil to protect you and put the snap back in your bones.

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

Reminiscing At Reunion his past weekend I went to a family reunion of first cousins on my mother’s side of the family, the Sawyers. My Grandfather Uriah Sawyer who was from North Carolina, was in the turpentine business, and met my Grandmother Mada Conant in South Alabama. They had four children who had eight children; my first cousins and thus the reunion. We have been meeting at a restaurant in Steinhatchee every six months to eat and fellowship. It is about halfway between us. This time there were only five first cousins: Buddy, Sam, my brother Eddie, a second cousin Deana, and me. My wife Bev was there as well. We decided several years ago to start meeting, and I always look forward to these gatherings. Cousin Sam Sawyer brought along a box full of pictures he shared with us and as you can imagine, we had a great time looking at old pictures. Those pictures brought about a lot of reminiscing and memories. I learned some things that I did not know and saw some pictures I had never seen. My second cousin by marriage, Pete Shutt, was killed in Vietnam. I remember when he died and it was a sad day when we found out. We talked about Pete after we saw his picture as we were thumbing through the photos. He was a really good guy and when he would visit us from New York with his dad and my cousin Jo Ann, everybody had the same opinion of him. I did not realize or had forgotten what a nice looking young

man he was and that he had been killed on his second or third week in Vietnam by a sniper. So sad. There was a picture of my mother as an infant with my Uncle Herman Sawyer about four years old I had never seen. There was another picture I had never seen of them with my Grandfather Uriah and a Model A car. Reminiscing with my cousins and hearing some of the stories about our parents and other relatives makes me appreciate family. Family when I was growing up was so important. Nothing came in front of family. There was one picture of all of us in Granny Sawyer’s family in the front yard of Uncle Herman’s house in Tavares. Altogether there were about 30 or so folks. We called the gathering Granny’s Reunion and it was alway so much fun. Most of those folks in that picture are now gone. Of the eight of us first cousins, two have passed away, and that is one of the reasons we try to get together like we do. I wish I could go back to those times and tell them how much they meant to me, but that will not happen. I’m satisfied they knew it at the time and that is why they brought all of us together at every opportunity. For that I am very thankful.

What’s In The Stars For The Week Of July 3 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Recently obtained information could open a new opportunity for a career change. Temper that Arian impatience and act on it only when all the facts are in. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You're moving into a more active cycle. So put your ideas back on the table, where they'll be given the attention they deserve. Expect a change in your love life. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A friend might ask for a favor that you feel would compromise your values. Confront them and explain why you must say no. A true friend will understand. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A relationship continues to develop. Meanwhile, a brewing job situation could create complications for one of your pet projects. Look into it right away. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your interest in a co-worker's project could lead to a profitable experience. Before you agree to anything, be sure to get all your legal I's dotted and T's crossed. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Be careful whose counsel you take about a possible long-distance move. Some advice might not necessarily be in your best interest. Stay focused on your goals.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Someone might try to complicate efforts in an attempt to work out that confusing job situation. Don't let that keep you from sticking with your decision. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) A disagreement on how to handle a family problem could create more trouble for all concerned. Look for ways to cool things down before they boil over. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) An unexpected change in long-standing workplace procedure and policy could provide a new career target for the Archer to aim at. Start making inquires. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You're finally able to get back into the swing of things, as those temporary doldrums begin to lift. Expect some surprising disclosures from a new colleague. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Rely on your innate sense of justice to see you through a dilemma involving a family member. Other relatives who've stood back soon will come forward as well. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) A new friend seems to be pushing you to take risks—financial or otherwise. Best advice: Don't do it. They might have a hidden agenda that hasn't surfaced yet.

Q: I have acquired a collection of about 35 video discs, including features that were issued by both RCA and 20th Century Fox. How much do you think they are worth— where can I sell them? —E.L., New Hampshire A: Capacitance Electronic Discs or CEDS were popular during the 1980s and were first marketed by RCA. CEDs were grooved vinyl discs that allowed consumers to watch feature films in their homes. The quality was fairly good, but the system soon was overshadowed by tape formats. Video discs quickly became yet another dinosaur of our technical age. A quick check revealed that video discs are of little interest to collectors, probably due to the fact that special equipment is required to view them. I found several thousand discs available on eBay, most selling in the $4 to $10 range. Fairly typical were 10 features, including M*A*S*H and Fiddler On The Roof, all for $10. An exception was the Star Wars trilogy, offered for $42. *** Q: I have a bound copy of Peterson's Magazine from 1870. How much do you think it is worth? —Caroline, Los Lunas, New Mexico A: Charles Peterson began his magazine in Philadelphia in 1842 and it continued until 1898. The publication began as Ladies

National Magazine, later as Lady's World and eventually as simply Peterson's. It was a fashion magazine that also included recipes, lace patterns, parlor games, household hints, and even house plans. The hand-colored fashion plates were an attempt to bring the latest Paris clothing lines to American women and are especially collectible. I found a bound copy of Peterson's Magazine from 1870 available online for $60. According the price guide in Vintage Magazines, by Richard Russell and Elaine Gross Russell and published by Krause Books, an 1871 volume is valued at $65. *** Q: I have several albums of bicentennial stamps issued by The Franklin Philatelic Society. How much are they worth? —Ruth, New Mexico A: Most Franklin issues are difficult to sell in the secondary marketplace because its instant collectibles were churned out by the millions. I checked several online auction companies and there doesn't seem to be much interest or demand.

Flashback Rose Garden by Mick Harper

1. Who had a worldwide hit with Rose Garden? 2. What was the b-side to the Ebony Eyes single by the Everly Brothers? 3. Which heavy metal band released God Of Thunder? 4. Who wrote and recorded All I Really Want To Do? 5. Name the song that contains this lyric: The room was empty as I staggered from my bed, I could not bear the image racing thru my head. Answers 1. Lynn Anderson, in 1970. She won a Grammy for vocals while songwriter Joe South earned two Grammy nods for the song. 2. Walk Right Back, released in 1961. Ebony Eyes was written by John D. Loudermilk Jr., who died in September 2016. He also was known for Talk Back Trembling Lips, \Tobacco Road, and Rose And A Baby Ruth.

3. Kiss, in 1976. Background effects included children whose voices were captured by a walkie-talkie. 4. Bob Dylan, in 1964. He recorded the song in one take. 5. I Had Too Much To Dream (Last Night), by the Electric Prunes in 1966. The song is word play, taking its idea from having had too much to drink. In this case, it's about having had too much love.

Check Theft very month, you count on that check in the mail or that direct deposit in your bank account. Whether it’s from Social Security, a pension, an investment or some other dependable source, most seniors rely on receiving some type of monthly payout to finance their golden years. Unfortunately, criminals know this, too. Whenever criminals know about a reliable stream of income, you can bet they’ll try and cash in on it. The good news is that we can avoid becoming targets of check theft by using direct deposits. That way, your monthly checks bypass the mailbox and instead get electronically transferred straight into your bank account. There’s no paper check for a thief to steal, and no trip to the bank. Paying bills also has become automated, and just about every service you can think of can be paid over the phone or by computer. These are modern conveniences that allow you to manage your money from the safety of your home and make yourself less vulnerable to mailbox thieves. Just be careful when dealing with e-mails and phone calls out of the blue from people claiming to be your bank, or from anyone who claims a family member urgently needs your money. Scammers love to contact potential victims, claiming they need your account information, Social Security number, or other details in a hurry. Just hang up and contact your bank directly if you’re in doubt. Here are some additional tips from the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office to keep in mind that will help make your bank and bill-paying transactions safe and secure: • Keep your money in a bank or financial institution, not at home.

From The Sheriff …Volusia County Sheriff Chitwood

• In addition to government checks, consider having other monthly payments that you receive deposited directly into your account. This is an excellent crime prevention technique that also will save you a trip to the bank. • Consider automated payments of your monthly bills. If this service isn’t available, another safe alternative is to drop off your payments at a financial institution. • Never withdraw money from your accounts for anyone except yourself. • Fill out deposit slips before beginning your transaction, and not in plain view of others. • Put away your money before leaving the teller. • Take all receipts with you. • If you are unable to do your own banking, entrust a relative or close friend to do it for you. Make this person known to your bank manager and relatives. • If you do your own banking, but you have trouble getting around on foot, ask the bank staff to have an employee escort you to your vehicle. This also is a good crime prevention strategy since thieves usually will pass over people in groups. • If you’re waiting for public transportation, stay inside the bank until your taxi arrives, or until just before the bus is scheduled to arrive. Following these crime prevention tips will help keep you and your money safe and make you much less vulnerable to becoming a crime victim.
