All Creation Gives Voice he title of the beautiful music presented by CUMC Thursday, April 12, was All Creation Gives Voice. The mere title brings to mind all God’s creations and it is very difficult to imagine life without religious beliefs to govern our minds and hearts. It is also a rare endeavor for a simple writer like me to have the desire to share special feelings—such simple things as the sky above at the end of a workday. It never has the same appearance and is like a miracle to behold; watching black birds line up on the wires and form a musical symbol; seeing the smiling faces of little children as they make their way to play; having communication with family and friends all over the world; watching the rain come down and hoping it will be enough for the fading lawn; seeing cheerful reactions of residents when we sing at their nursing homes; watching renewed strength and energy come to those who are ill; enjoying the wedding plans of a special grandson to his beautiful lady. You wish that happiness would always come to and remain in all members of your families and friends and that total communication would never cease. If a problem occurs it can be solved. The rising of Jesus from the tomb after his death is a central and distinctive belief of the faith. The Gospels state that after Jesus was crucified and lay in a tomb between Fri-

day evening and Sunday morning, He rose, in body as well as in spirit and appeared alive to his followers.” It is felt that spiritual rebirth is necessary to enter the eternal kingdom of God and that His resurrection is the basis for the Christian belief that, not
only Jesus but his followers, will triumph over death. The Resurrection is celebrated on Easter Sunday. I love hearing such beautiful music as All Creation Gives Voice! The Music Director always selects the finest music for her church, the kind of tunes that reach the musically inclined. The Resurrection Celebration music chilled my bones and thrilled my soul.

Don’t Lose Your Homestead With These Mistakes ypically property on which you live and intend as your primary residence, whether devised in a will or not, passes outside of probate. That means that most creditors, other those with a mortgage on the property, cannot force a sale of the home. However there are mistakes people make that unknowingly forfeit the protection afforded by the homestead exemption. What is homestead? Typically if a person owns a home and resides there at the time of his or her death (or has an intention to return to even if in a nursing home or residential facility) that home is exempted from the probate process. What are conditions to qualify for homestead? It must be your primary residence, and it cannot be a future residence or a second home. How is your home protected? Except for your mortgage creditors, your home is protected from other creditors who might attempt to force a sale of your home to collect a debt. The Florida Constitution provides protection from a forced sale except for payments owing for unpaid taxes, assessments, obligations as to the purchase, improvement, or repair on the home. The most common ways to lose homestead protection: 1. If your will directs the personal representative to sell the home after your death. Typically a personal representative does not have the authority to sell homestead
T
Protect What Matters …by Linda Carley property in probate. Personal representatives have no jurisdiction over, or title to the homestead, and it is not considered an asset of the estate. 2. If you retitle your homestead and put it in the name of an irrevocable trust. The homestead protection under the Florida Constitution does not protect properties owned by entities. Therefore, a revocable trust, which is considered a separate entity, cannot qualify for homestead protection. 3. If you put another person such as an adult child or other relative on the deed (other than in a lady bird deed) and the other person does not reside in the home, a judgment creditor of the adult child can levy on that person’s ownership and force a sale of the home because that adult is not entitled to homestead protection. 4. If your rent out your home, it becomes an income producing asset and since it is no longer your primary residence, it loses its homestead status. For more information on how to protect your homestead exemption, call to be a part of our free estate planning workshop. Call Attorney Linda Carley at 386.281. 3340. Linda Carley has more than thirty years of legal experience, including serving as a probate judge.

FIVE STAR SENIOR LIVING
hen I was a child sealed to my mother’s side in a musty meeting room on the second floor of an Iowa community center, I loved hearing her rich alto voice harmonizing melodies from Great Songs of the Church. My favorite was The Old Rugged Cross, sung acapella style, (without instrumental accompaniment). “On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross, the emblem of suffering and shame. And I love that old cross, where the dearest and blest, for a world of lost sinners was slain.” Instead of the dearest and blest, I clearly heard the words… ‘Where the deer has last passed…’. In my child’s mind I saw Jesus on the cross in a forest clearing with sunbeams breaking through the canopy exposing a hint of blue sky. On the grass surrounding the cross were all the animals immortalized in the Disney classic, Bambi. Jesus was an animatronic, but very human. It was a somber and dramatic scene; yet, to this child, it was peaceful, colorful, and quiet. I didn’t question the dichotomy, the contradiction of a forest location in Jerusalem, the obvious schizophrenia of cartoon characters attending a crucifixion or an unscarred, unbloodied Jesus. I was far too fascinated with the creative, emotional scene bouncing in my head. Don’t bother me with details. My imagination saw what my ears thought they heard, and it was very good. In the old days the light in buildings was never bright which added to the somberness of attending church worship. Benches were hard. The room was cold and drafty. Heat couldn’t rise to ceiling height and return to the bench where my mother sang, so I snuggled closer to her coat snagging as much warmth as possible. ‘I will cling to the old rugged cross and exchange it someday for a crown.’ Christians were not supposed to be comfortable, or warm for that matter. Times were hard and everything was rationed, WWII. Life was serious. People didn’t go to church to be happy, or clap, or do anything spontaneous. It was wrong to go to church to be entertained and certainly you did not act like joy was an expectation. Easter was an odd time of year. My mother boiled eggs and when they cooled she dipped them in food coloring. Red, blue, green, yucky yellow. Dying eggs was messy and she hated that, plus the reality was never what she saw in her head. Every Easter I’d get a new outfit to wear only to Church. Immediately after the last Amen, the good clothes came off. I was not a girly, girl so no fancy dresses with tiers of lace and layers of petticoats. I got a plain, practical dress with limited ruffles. A hat was an okay accessory or ribbons and definitely, patent leather shoes. Children had church clothes and play clothes but never the twain should meet.
W
Happy Talk …by George & Peggy Goldtrap It was the tradition in many families to get-together after church for an afternoon of gluttony. Every delicious recipe from a homemaker’s lockbox of secret ingredients was pulled out and prepared for the sole purpose of receiving oohs and aahs and ‘how on earth can food taste that delicious?’ Feasting was as much a part of Easter story as was the cross, the color purple, the crown of thorns, and the donkey that carried Jesus. Easter was a time of thanksgiving and celebration for family, friends, loved ones and all because of the sacrifice of a Savior. The Easter story is traumatic for children even if they’re dressed up for their role in a church pageant. The idea that the Jesus Who Loves The Little Children is the same Jesus who was shamed, beaten, betrayed, had nails driven in his body, cried out in pain for his Father to save him, felt abandonment when few stayed around until the end. I remember understanding little of his sacrifice, but I understood what it was like to cry. I related to wounded emotions, to feeling left out of the loop; to isolation; to being afraid, or judged if I talked about fear of death. Jesus had to die? Why? It was God’s will? Is God going to kill me too? I’m afraid of God. These are legitimate questions for a child. Jesus had to die so you could live. Wow, now I’m packing for a guilt trip. Greater love hath no man than he lay down his life for another. I don’t want to die. Does that mean I don’t have enough love? Is Jesus mad at me? The mighty words that men preach are deep mysteries in the ears and mind of a child. ‘Suffer the little children to come unto me for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.’ ‘Unless you become as a little child, you shall in no way enter the Kingdom of Heaven.’ A child’s imagination is fragile and precious. As Easter rolls around, and adults are treated to adorable little children dressed up like ladies and gentlemen, remember their tender hearts. The hymns of the church image differently in the minds innocents. Did Jesus hang on a cross in a clearing with Disney characters? Does the location really matter or is it the message of eternal love, patience, and forgiveness? My scene was enormously pleasing and positive, hopeful, and healthy. I have never forgotten the message, or the spiritual comfort of hearing my mother sing, or visualizing the radiant, joy-filled memory of Jesus in the forest.

Antiques Vide Poche n auction catalog called this strange dish a vide poche. It's a French term, but the English translation—trinket box, pin tray, empty pocket, or glove compartment—wasn't very helpful. It looks like a lopsided bowl made out of cloudy cameo glass with a bug, spiders, and leaves molded on both inside and outside. The thick glass is brown, green, and orange. It is 6 inches wide, 5 inches in diameter. The bottom has the signature Daum Nancy and a cross. We know what, where, and why it was made. Do you empty your purse or pockets each night? This is a sophisticated storage dish for money and keys used in about 1900, a sort of storage dish for things needed frequently. Daum is a glassmaker who worked in Nancy, France from 1875. The company used the Cross of Lorraine as a mark. This vide poche was estimated at a New England auction for $4,000 to $6,000. *** Q: How do you tell a reproduction from the original when it comes to a bank? I have a Jonah and the Whale

cast iron bank. It reads Shepard Hardware Co., 1890 on the bottom. A: The Jonah and the Whale mechanical bank was made by Shepard Hardware, Co. of Buffalo, New York. The patent for the design was issued in 1890. Reproduction banks usually are slightly smaller than the originals. Check any iron that has lost its paint. Old cast iron is darker than new cast iron. If you see any rust, it's new cast iron. Paint on an older bank should show some wear. If the paint on your bank is too bright to be old, it probably is a reproduction. An old, authentic Jonah and the Whale bank sold at auction for $1,650 in 2016. Reproductions sell for $50 to $75.

Page 8—Seniors Today—April 19, 2019 Age Healthier With These Five Tips s your wisdom grows with age, so can the number of pill bottles in your medicine cabinet. For those “young-at-heart” seniors, sticking to healthy habits is the key to aging well. With some simple steps, you can keep a healthy routine that also gives you more time to do the things you love. Joe Koren, pharmacy manager, shares his top five tips for managing your health with a busy schedule: 1. Consult the experts—You know to go for regular checkups with your general practitioner, but don’t forget that pharmacists can also be accessible experts to answer questions about your health. In fact, your pharmacist is a licensed professional who provides different health care services including immunizations and can help you understand why and how to take your medications to support effective treatment. Some pharmacies offer extended hours, and 24-hour chat with pharmacy staff is available whenever you need it. Many locations also have health care clinics to treat minor injuries and illness, which can be a convenient and cost-efficient alternative to a doctor’s visit. 2. Let your smartphone help you —With a packed list of to-dos, friends to meet, and grandchildren to watch, medication routines can easily slip the mind. Luckily, your mobile phone is a helpful tool to keep track of your medications, right in the palm of your hand. For example, there are apps that can help you set daily pill reminder notifications, so you never miss a dose. You can also find close-by health care providers and arrange a video call for a face-toface consultation with a physician or specialist through the app. If using your smartphone comes with its challenges, ask one of the pharmacy staff or a family member to help set it up for you. 3. Simplify your prescription refills—Multiple prescriptions can mean

multiple trips to the pharmacy each month. A trained pharmacist can recommend convenient refill options such as aligning multiple refill trips to one single date, switching to 90-day refills, or having eligible prescriptions sent directly to your home. All these services can make it easier to stay on your medication schedule and help save time. 4. Find perks in your Medicare D plan—So you’ve signed up for your Medicare Part D plan, but are you using it to save money? A little bit of research into the right combination of plan, provider, and pharmacy can go a long way to help you save money. 5. Maintain a healthy lifestyle— They say age is only a number, and when you’re in control of your health, that’s very true! With the time and money you’ll save from these tips, think about how you can embark on and maintain an even healthier lifestyle. Why not challenge yourself to walk for at least 30 minutes a day, connect with friends and family, or take the time to prepare nutritious meals? These five small steps can all contribute to a healthier life, and free up time and head space for the things you really love.

Marci Part 3 Chapter 1 nlike the quietness of the Dalton farm at night to which Marci had grown accustomed, the sounds of the city were different. Outside her open window, which faced Beacon Street only three blocks from downtown Mobile, there was constant noise. The noise was something she did not expect. Sitting in her room on her first night in the city she felt alone. A strange sensation, she thought, especially with all of the activity going on around her. She busied herself with unpacking her suitcases and hanging up her new dresses. After she had placed all of her remaining clothes in the chest-of-drawers and the dresser she sat on the edge of her bed. A knock at the door startled her and she jumped up and looked toward the door. “Mrs. Dalton we serve supper at 6:30 sharp and I’m fixing to put it on the table,” she heard Mrs. Arnold say. “Okay, I’ll be right down,” Marci told her. “It had been a long day and Marci was certainly starting to get hungry, so after she placed the last of her clothing in a drawer she opened her door and entered the hallway. She could smell fried chicken and headed in the direction of the odor. Two other people joined her as she entered the dining room. There on the table were fried chicken, peas, green beans, and biscuits, much like an evening meal at the Daltons. Several other people entered the room just before her landlady held her hand up and said, “let us pray.” Counting Mrs. Arnold, there were eight women sitting down for the evening meal. The plate of fried chicken started its round of the table followed by the peas, beans, and biscuits. Everyone started to eat and the low rumble of people talking soon filled the room. Marci sat and picked at her food, not really hungry. Her appetite seemed to have vanished and she could feel the first tinges of being homesick, something she remembered well from her first few weeks at the Dalton home. Isaiah, Sr. had changed that eventually but now she was missing Isaiah, Jr. in much the same way. “Mrs. Dalton, I would like to speak with you after supper, if you don’t mind,” Mrs. Arnold said as she brought a pecan pie from the kitchen and sat it on the table. “Yes, that’s fine,” Marci responded. “Before we clean off the table how about all of you introduce yourselves to Mrs. Dalton,” Mrs. Arnold said. Systematically each one of the borders told Marci their names. She could her them as they spoke, but the names did not seem to stick in her memory at the time. Learning all the new names did not seem important at the time. When they finished introducing themselves to her she told them, “Please call me Marci.” After the meal Marci could see that everyone took dishes to the kitchen. She followed them and did the same thing.

Winding Roads …by Byron Spires
“That was very nice of you to pick up your plate and bring it to the kitchen, most ladies don’t the first meal they eat here,” Mrs. Arnold said. “I usually help wash dishes at home, too,” Marci said. “That’s alright, we take care of that here. I have a lady that works everyday cleaning, cooking, and washing dishes. All of that is included in your room and board,” Mrs. Arnold said. “That is what I wanted to talk with you about, Mr. Dalton has paid for six months of your stay here and also sent instructions for me to explain how you are to get to work every day,” Mrs. Arnold told her as they walked from the dining room into the parlor. The two sat down in the parlor and Mrs. Arnold explained to her the ritual of her boarding house. Breakfast was precisely at 6:45 each morning, it was up to her to provide her own lunch. The evening meal started at 6 P.M. and lights were out each night no later than 10 P.M. There would always be a light on in the hallways during the night in case one had to use the bathroom. Baths were to be taken according to the schedule listed on the board outside the bathrooms. Her bathroom was down stairs where two other ladies were boarding. “We have to have some sort of organization when you have eight women living in one house,” Mrs. Arnold explained to her. All of these new rules were a surprise to Marci, as she sat and listened to Mrs. Arnold tell her what would be expected from her. “Now, we have a radio downstairs if you would like to listen to any of the programs on WMGR at night,” Mrs. Arnold commented, ending her long litany of requirements as a boarder to Marci. Marci left the parlor as two of the ladies entered and sat by the radio. She could hear them laughing as she walked down the hall to her room. She knew tomorrow was going to be a big day for her and dreaded trying to sleep. After getting ready for bed, she sat down on the side of her bed listening to the sounds from outside. It was not the sounds of the night at the Dalton house she had grown so accustomed to, instead it was the sounds she heard earlier of cars and trucks along the street in front of the boarding house and the sounds of the ladies as they moved about the house. “I wonder if I have done the right thing,” she thought as she finally stretched out on her bed and pulled the bedcovers over herself.

Humane Society Update Signs Of Pet Diabetes by Barry KuKes any dogs and cats have diabetes. They require insulin just like humans. Giving a dog or cat an injection can be very daunting for many people but with a little bit of practice on an orange or peach, most anyone can perfect their method of administering an insulin injection. What are the signs of diabetes in your pet? • Urinates Frequently—Your dog or cat wants to go outside often. Your dog may urinate in the house; your cat may urinate outside of their litter box. • Drinks a lot of Water—You need fill the water bowl more often than before or notice your cat or dog drinking from unusual places, such as a toilet bowl. Some dogs always drink from the toilet bowl, so if this is their usual water source monitor their intake and urination. (Depending on the cleanliness of the toilet tank and bowl, toilet water is actually pretty clean, and dogs’ digestive systems are much better than ours at killing harmful bacteria, so the chances of your dog getting sick from germs in the toilet are low. Toilet cleaners, however, are potentially toxic to dogs. Try providing fresh water in a bowl you can wash in a dishwasher for sanitary purposes.) • Is Always Hungry—Your dog or cat never seems to get enough food—they’re always begging for food. Diabetic dogs have plenty of sugar in their blood, but they feel like they are starving all the time be-cause none of it penetrates the cells. Parasites absorb the affected dog’s dietary nutrients, causing him to feel hungry even though he’s consuming plenty of food. • Loss of Weight—Although your dog or cat has a good appetite, they keep losing weight. Your veterinarian will determine how many calories your dog needs every day, based on his weight and activity level. Once you know that number, it’s important to keep a close eye on what he eats and how much. Researchers are still exploring what diet is best for dogs with diabetes. Most vets recommend a high-fiber, low-fat diet. Fiber slows the entrance of glucose into the bloodstream and helps your dog feel full. Low-fat foods have fewer calories. Together, the diet can help your dog eat less and lose weight. • Most dogs do fine with food you can buy at the store. Your vet may recommend prescription dog food or a homemade diet developed by a veterinary nutritionist. They can tell you the best way to go about changing your dog’s food. • Even the best diet won’t help if your dog doesn’t eat it, though—and you can’t give insulin to a dog on an empty stomach. It can make him very sick.

• If your dog isn’t eating as much, it could be because he doesn’t like the food. It could also mean he has another problem, or that he’s having diabetes-related complications. Talk with your vet. • Eyes Appear Cloudy—This sign is only present in dogs. Unfortunately, a common complication of diabetes in dogs is cataracts (cloudy lenses). In fact, 75 percent of dogs develop cataracts and blindness in both eyes within 9 months of being diagnosed with diabetes. • Coat has deteriorated—This is a sign seen in cats. Your cat has stopped grooming, and the fur becomes dry or dull. • Sleeps More and Less Active—Your dog or cat used to be energetic, but now they sleep all day. Please visit your veterinarian for a professional diagnosis. They will require a urine sample from your pet. If your pet is diagnosed with diabetes that is treatable with insulin, you can purchase insulin and syringes at a variety of stores including Walmart without a prescription. Novolin R is a popular insulin for pets and is priced around $25 at Walmart versus over $80 at similar retailers. Pets with diabetes when properly treated can live happy, protective lives for many years to come. Don’t give up on your pet just because they need an injection. Lastly, remember adopt, don’t shop.

What’s In The Stars For The Week Of April 22 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A suggestion from a colleague on how to work out a problem might not sit well. Before you suspect their motives, why not just accept it as a friendly gesture? TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) An associate might seek your counsel on a workplace dispute. Listen to what they have to say, but withhold advice until you've heard the other side of the story. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Use your Twin gifts for creativity to score points in landing an opportunity that could open doors to a new career. Someone returns after a long absence. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Although things are pretty hectic through much of the week, some quiet time with loved ones helps restore balance. An unexpected visitor brings welcome news. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Getting used to change isn't always easy for the Big Cat. Make the adjustments gradually, and soon you'll hardly remember when things were any different. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Continue to stay the course you've chosen, and avoid distractions that could throw you off track. Some knowledgeable folks are happy to provide guidance.
LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Although you earned plaudits from most co-workers for your recent stand on a workplace situation, you also raised the envy quotient among others. Tread carefully. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You feel positive about your project, and you're ready to pick it up on a moment's notice. You may need to re-motivate those who have since lost interest. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Some welcome news should be coming your way. In the meantime, use that Sagittarius charm to convince reluctant colleagues that your ideas have merit. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Don't wait for a misunderstanding to work itself out. Instead, ask for a chance to explain before bruised feelings lead to an irreversible break. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) A physical problem should be checked out in order to avoid it going from just being a nuisance to something more serious. Your social life takes an unexpected turn. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Yours might be the wisest sign in the Zodiac. You still could benefit from the wisdom of a close friend who has suggestions on how to handle a personal problem.

ne in 18 seniors will become the victim of scammers this year, and those thieves will steal $3 billion from us. Others say these figures are too low because many scams aren't reported, and the thieves could well be getting as much as $36 billion a year. How do the scammers con us? Maybe we did well in life and not only have money in the bank but we also receive a Social Security check every month, so we're more relaxed about money. Maybe we didn't do well financially and could use some extra cash if it's offered, not recognizing a scam. We might have a medical problem, and it's just easier to give in when we're pushed. Often we're lonely and are too willing to talk to people who call us, or we're scared when they threaten us. There are many ways thieves can break down our barriers. What do they want? Money, any way they can get it. They want our banking information, passwords, and logins, Medicare number, Social Security number—anything that will get them access to our money and identification.
O
Why don't we turn them in when we get scammed? We're embarrassed —shocked that someone did this to us and that we fell for it. How do they get to us? The Internet is the most likely way, or they might call on the phone. Mortgage, pretend grandchildren, Social Security, home repairs, sweepstakes prizes, Medicare, phony IRS calls, investments, counterfeit drugs—all of these and more are associated with scams against seniors. If you haven't taken a scam class at the senior center, do so. Or if none is offered, ask for one to be created. Out of approximately 20 people in a class, at least one has already been victimized.

Dear Paw's Corner: The veterinarian said my cat Frederick is 15 pounds overweight. He's always been a big cat; is the vet right? —David J., via e-mail Dear David: Vets are pretty good at figuring this stuff out, so yes, Frederick probably needs to lose the weight. Believe me, you'll be doing a good thing for your cat—not only extending his life, but improving the overall quality of his life. Obesity in pets has increased steadily over the past decade or so. In 2018, pet insurer Nationwide said nearly 20 percent of the claims filed were for obesity-related diseases in dogs and cats. Things like arthritis, diabetes, liver disease, and heart failure. Those claims have risen 24 percent over the past eight years. The best way to help Frederick lose weight is to control his eating. You'll need to know how many calories per day he should eat, based on his current weight. Indoor cats need about 20 calories per day for each pound that
they weigh. So, if Frederick weighs, say, 25 pounds, he needs about 500 calories per day to stay the same weight. To LOSE weight, he needs to eat less —about 50 calories less to start, so about 450 calories per day. (That way he won't be absolutely starving.) Check the calories per serving on the back of the cat food you feed him and adjust the amount accordingly. You can find more tips on helping cats lose weight from All Feline Hospital in Lincoln, Nebraska (www.all felinehospital.com/getting-your-catto-lose-weight). You'll be giving Frederick the best gift he could receive: a healthier life. Send your questions or pet care tips to ask@pawscorner.com

• There are good reasons to recaulk your baseboards from time to time. Not only will it give you a clean look, but it will help to stop drafts and block out bugs, which can creep in through the tiniest of cracks. • “Here’s a tip for making a box cake taste like it was made from scratch: Add an extra egg, use melted butter instead of oil and use milk (whole) in place of water. Mix for an extra minute or two, to really aerate the batter. It'll be gorgeous.” —T.H. in New Hampshire

Measure the length you need, and your hardware store may be able to cut a piece for you if you can't find one the right size.

n a recent press release, the Department of Veterans Affairs announced that Little Rock, Arkansas, had joined the list of three states and 65 towns that had conquered veteran homelessness. The list of those locations goes back to 2015, and the page announces, “The following jurisdictions have announced an end to Veteran homelessness as of Dec. 19, 2018.” The actual facts raise questions, however. Take New Orleans. The mayor issued a statement in 2015 saying it was the first city in the nation to end veteran homelessness. Okay. How are they doing now? At the end of 2018, the VA health center there held a Stand Down for homeless veterans. The director said that the VA has made significant progress, but there was more work to do. They still have homeless veterans. In 2015, the governor of Virginia said they would work to end veteran homelessness by the end of 2017. The homeless number was cut in half, which is major milestone. Fast-forward to the January 2018 Point in Time Count (PIT). The numbers were not zero. In late 2017, the mayor of Atlanta was quoted as thanking all those who helped make it possible. The assumption, since his quote is on the list of cities that conquered

veteran homelessness, is that there were no more homeless veterans in Atlanta. Two months later, on the day of the PIT, there were 96 unsheltered homeless veterans there. It's to be expected that when people move around, the number of homeless will shift. To include these locations on a list of those purporting to have achieved zero homelessness, when they currently have homeless, is to skew the numbers. They might once have been down to zero, but they're not there now. Write to Freddy Groves in care of King Features Weekly Service, P.O.
