In Honor Of Nursing hen a person educates to render special care to patients, there are super qualities within them, as well as a strong desire to be of help to those in need. Nurses week began May 6 and ended May 12, on the birthday of Florence Nightingale. It’s never too late to mention it, for it is never too late to let our nurses know how much we admire and appreciate them. A few years back, when researching for a book, it appeared that before Florence Nightingale came on the scene, medical caregivers were men, especially during wartime. Then Florence, who was named for the Italian city in which she was born, became the Lady With The Lamp, the early leader of women in nursing as a profession. Her family was very well-to-do and had a different set of plans for her but throughout her life she was actively helping people in need. Supported by the American Nurses Association, the special time in May has been honoring the nursing profession since 1896. Each area of ANA conducts celebrations in recognition of the contributions nurses make to their communities. Some interesting nurse quotes by unknown writers: “Nurses may not be angels, but they are the next best thing.” “Nurses don’t wait until October to celebrate “make a difference day.” They make a difference every day” “Save one life you are a nurse, save a thousand lives and you are a hero” “I’m not telling you it’s going to be easy. I’m telling you it’s going to be worth it.” “They may forget your name, but they will never forget how you made them feel.” “Never give-up on anybody. Miracles happen every day.” “There is always that one special patient that you will remember forever.”

You Name It …by Kitty Maiden
“Some people think that nurses can put scrambled eggs back into the shell.” There are never enough words to express how much they are appreciated for all that they do for their patients— as well as the comfort they give to their families. I learned years ago, from a daughter who ultimately became a nurse, how special nurses are. Her teenage sister was burned when a car parked on top of her at the beach. She was in intensive care for weeks. During that time, it was an additional learning experience for each nurse who cared for her. Everyone that entered the room had to be completely covered so as not to carry germs into her room (very time consuming) and, in addition, had to make sure no visitors entered the room without the same precautions. When she came home, she still required special care. Her younger sister, who in time became a nurse, stayed by her bedside and did everything necessary until she was well. Being a nurse is more than a job, it’s a way of life. And, oh, what a life!

Tech Support Scams ore and more seniors are using computers to surf the Internet and stay in touch with friends and family. While that’s a good thing, it also makes them potentially vulnerable to tech support scams. That’s because scammers have been peddling bogus security software for years. These scammers set up fake websites, offer free “security” scans and send alarming messages to try to convince you that your computer is infected. Then, they try to sell you software to fix the problem. At best, the software is worthless or available elsewhere for free. At worst, it could be software designed to give criminals access to your computer and your personal information. Often, the scam begins with a phone call to your home. Scammers can get your name and other basic information from public directories. They might even guess what computer software you’re using. Once they have you on the phone, they will try to gain your trust by pretending to be associated with well-known companies or confusing you with a barrage of technical terms. They may ask you to go to your computer and perform a series of complex tasks. Sometimes, they target legitimate computer files and claim that they’re viruses. Their tactics are designed to scare you into believing that you have a problem and of course they can help fix it —for a price.
M
From The Sheriff …Volusia County Sheriff Ben Johnson Once tech scammers feel they have gained your trust, they may: •Ask you to give them remote access to your computer and then make changes to your settings that could leave your computer vulnerable. • Try to enroll you in a worthless computer maintenance or warranty program. • Ask for credit card information so they can bill you for phony services or services you could get elsewhere for free. • Trick you into installing malware that could steal sensitive data. • Direct you to websites and ask you to enter your credit card number and other personal information. Regardless of the tactics they use, they have one purpose: to take your money. If you get a call from someone who claims to be a tech support person, hang up and call the company yourself on a phone number you know to be genuine. Remember that a caller who creates a sense of urgency or uses high-pressure tactics is probably a scam artist. Your best advice: simply end the conversation by hanging up the phone.

Spring Has Sprung, Fall Has Fell, Summer’s Here And It’s Hot As Usual! by Peggy Goldtrap s there a Lost & Found department for enthusiasm? If so, could you please give me directions? Whenever summer arrives, my enthusiasm leaves. Once we turn on air conditioning my desire to go anywhere, especially into nature’s sauna, melts. Heat turns me into a vegetable soup; an ambitionless stew. GAG recently went out of town and left cat and me alone. This meant we had no challenges. GAG is the communicator in the family so when he’s home, our life is fairly eventful. When he’s away, the condo is quiet and peaceful. I give myself permission to practice peculiar habits. For example, I can lay in the floor whenever I choose without being questioned: ‘Why?’. I’ve slept on the floor many times. It’s good for the back and after a few hours of adjustment, the comfort level rises. Growing up in the south before air conditioning, I learned that the hardwood floor was cooler, especially in the evenings when heat grips the house like a constrictor. The stereotypical dewy Southern belle contorting in her corset was really chafing from heat rash. When I was 15, I slept the entire summer. It was the hottest summer on Tennessee record. I’d get up in the morning, eat breakfast, and go back to sleep. The air was so stifling I couldn’t buy a breath. I had an army cot in front of the only door that whispered air. I’d crawl into the cot as soon as I finished breakfast. Needless to say I don’t remember anything from the summer of 52. Young people today can’t appreciate the virtues of air conditioning. They’ve never traveled across Texas in a ’48 Chevy with jammed windows, or crossed Kansas when the temperature approached 110. I remember a trip GAG and I took to California in a window challenged station wagon. We’d get up as early as cranky kids allowed, and try to beat the heat. It was so hot we put wooden blocks on the accelerator to block the heat from burning our feet. We kept bandanas soaked with water and tied them around our face (yes, we left the eyes uncovered) so we could breathe cool air. The Bandana Bandits cross the Jayhawk Desert. We masked the back windows of the wagon with newspapers so the kids survived. We had to outrun the heat that day. Had we stopped the car would have incinerated. Today’s kids can’t appreciate growing up in two or three story homes with no air conditioning. I remember walking up the steps, as late as possible, and falling into my bedroom oven. It would be 3 A.M. before I could breathe deep enough to fall asleep. The air was jungle thick with heat and the pungent smell of tennis shoes and sweaty shirts. Fans were useless, except psychologically. All they did was move hot air. I remember the sound of oscillating fans; near, far, up, down. I counted the time between cycles. Feel a bit of breeze. Wait,
I

Happy Talk …by George & Peggy Goldtrap it’s gone. Count down to the next. Big box fans did the best job of moving air, but in one direction only. The fan’s hum was hypnotic lulling me into a sleep stupor until a full bladder reminded me of what I forgot to do. All was not horrible in the heat smacked days of summer. There were picnics beneath shade trees. Swimming in creeks, ponds, mud holes, troughs. Neighbors would sit on their porches until late at night; swinging and chatting and waiting for the house to cool. Kids would play hide and seek until someone finally gave up before they fell asleep and out of their secret tree. Dogs would serenade each other signaling territory or romance. I remember when some boxers were fighting for the world championship. A neighbor on the corner put radios in several windows; turned them up full blast. Other neighbors brought lawn chairs, food, and drinks to the yard. A block party was on for two guys knocking their blocks off. I don’t remember the names of the boxers, but I remember how much fun we had with kids, and parents, and pets challenging the dreadful summer heat that would not let go. Tennessee is a beautiful state, but the summer is a killer. The heat rises and dances on the street. The ground cracks. Dogs don’t move from under the porch for days. It’s so still you can hear a twig snap, a dragonfly winging, a June bug whirring. Creeks dry up and rocks crack. People move like snails. Men pocket extra handkerchiefs for wiping sweat from their two-toned foreheads. Now, I live in an air-conditioned condo I don’t want to leave. I go to a gym where I experience the very thing I don’t want to feel: sweaty. At night I open the slider to let in the fresh, cooling night air which usually doesn’t tiptoe in until two. When I can’t sleep I listen to the surf smacking the shore. I’m enchanted by nocturnal creatures performing a mysterious and magical symphony. I drive to the store in an air-conditioned car and complain about the hot walk from car to air-conditioned grocery. I rush from ice-house to cold storage across a parking lot designed by Satan. My heat exposure is steps from condo to car. Whew. Bring back the old days? Don’t you dare. Does Amazon deliver cool air? How about buying a wafting breeze on PayPal? No? My slug self says: ‘Don’t worry, be happy. Stay home, stay cool. Follow the cat’s example, sleep curled up, in the shadows. It will all be over in the Fall.’

Antiques Ruby Glass Q: I have a 50-piece set of ruby glass. Several years ago, I was offered $75 per glass, but I want to sell the entire set. Any suggestions? —Marilyn, Sonoma, CA: A: Ruby glass is a flashed glass, deeply red in color, and was manufactured by numerous companies beginning during the 1890s and continuing through the 1940s. Although it is sometimes confused with red carnival glass, it is made differently and not the same. Values are tricky. It might be a good idea to consult the numerous price guides available and monitor ruby glass prices on eBay. Another suggestion is to contact a good appraiser. Although you will pay a nominal fee, you will get an expert's opinion of what your collection is worth. *** Q: We have a collection of 78-rpm and LP recordings, mostly classical. Could you provide me with the names of buyers? —Janice, via e-mail A: I get questions about older recordings at least a dozen times a month, and my answer is always the same: Unless you have real rarities, there is little market for older recordings. I contacted used record dealers in Los Angeles, St. Louis, Dallas, and New York, and I was told that it was difficult, if not impossible, to sell classical
recordings in the secondary marketplace. You might consider donating your collection to a charity. *** Q: I have a series of 12 postcards that were printed to promote the 1939 New York World's Fair. I have been offered $100, but I do not feel that is enough. —Josie, Ormond Beach, Florida A: According to three collectors I consulted, postcards from the 1939 World's Fair are fairly common. Your postcards are probably worth between $2.50 and $5 each. If you have been offered $100 for the set, my advice is to take the money and run. *** Q: I have six vintage irons, all pre1900. Whom can I contact about them? —Betty, Shreveport, Louisiana A: David Irons (yes, that's his real name) is an expert and can help you determine the value of your irons. His contact information is dave@ironsantiques.com; 223 Covered Bridge Road, Northhampton, PA 18067; 610-262-9335.

Safe Infant Sleep Tips For Grandparents aving a grandparent help take care of a newborn or infant not only offers a much-needed rest for parents, but also provides special together time. Before you take on this important task, it’s a good idea to brush up on the latest safe infant sleep recommendations. A new video from the Safe to Sleep® campaign—specifically for grandparents—points out the practices that might be different from when grandparents were new parents. Remember to always place the baby on his back to sleep, for naps and at night. Back sleeping is the best way to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), the unexpected death of an infant younger than 1 year of age from no apparent cause. You may have heard SIDS described as crib death or cot death. Babies who usually sleep on their backs, but who are then placed to sleep on their stomachs are at very high risk for SIDS. What Grandparents Can Do To Reduce The Risk Of Sids And Other Sleep-Related Causes Of Infant Death • Always place the baby on his or her back to sleep, for naps and at night. • Use a firm sleep surface, such as a mattress in a safety-approved crib*, covered by a fitted sheet. • Keep loose bedding, blankets, quilts, crib bumpers, soft objects, and toys out of the baby’s sleep area. • Do not smoke or allow anyone to smoke around the baby. Answers To Common Safe Infant Sleep Questions Experts at the National Institutes of Health have answers to your questions about keeping the baby safe during sleep. Q. Are babies more likely to choke if they spit up while sleeping on their backs? A. No. Healthy babies naturally swallow or cough up fluids. In fact, babies may actually clear fluids better when placed on their backs to sleep. Q. I put my kids to sleep on their stomachs when they were babies. Was that wrong? A. No—It wasn’t wrong, but we didn’t know as much about SIDS or ways to reduce

the risk until the early 1990s. Many of us were placed on our stomachs to sleep and survived, but some babies didn’t. Now that research has shown that back sleeping is the most effective way to reduce the risk of SIDS, it’s important that all babies are placed on their backs to sleep, for naps, and at night. Every sleep time counts. Q. Why can’t I use crib bumpers or a blanket in the crib? A. Crib bumpers and blankets are associated with higher risk for SIDS, suffocation, and other injuries. The best way to reduce these risks is to keep soft objects, toys, crib bumpers, and loose bedding out of the baby’s sleep area. This includes pillows, blankets, quilts, and sheepskins.

How Medicare Works And Answer The Frequently Asked Questions Many People Have
‘The Million Dollar Meal’ For Joseph Del Campo Special to Seniors Today–Part 8 Seniors Today is an acquaintance of DelCampo and continues to follow his appearance on the Survivor show.
oseph Del Campo, a former FBI agent stepped into the television show Survivor at the golden age of 72 years, making him one of the oldest competitors in the history of the game. He was evacuated for medical reasons in the episode on May11 much to the dismay of his huge fan club! Seniors Today had the privilege of gathering with Del Campo and his friends at a Survivor party to watch the final show with him in it! After winning a challenge on this episode he was treated to a day at a spa and an unbelieveable feast! He gorged on beef skewers, devouring row upon row of satay sticks, feasting on his first substantial meal in weeks. Within twenty-four hours, Joe was in so much internal distress due to the “three feet” of steak kabobs his body refused to pass, that he was pulled from the game to avoid serious physical damage. Joe withstood 34 days of the harshest Survivor season ever, as the second oldest contestant to ever play the game, only behind the legendary Rudy Boesch —the who finally convinced Joe to apply for the show. So the burning question everyone whats to know now... how is Joe feeling these days? Del Campo states, “Don’t forget now, it’s been a year since we filmed the show. We all wanted it to air as soon we got back home, of course, but then they wound up doing the Second Chance folks— the fans-favorites —and they sent them out to Cambodia and aired them first. We had to wait a long time, from February of last year until our show came on. It took about four days to get my system straightened out but I am feeling fine now.”
J
Bonnie and David Schillinger of Seniors Today enjoyed watching Survivor with Joeseph Del Campo in his final episode. When asked how difficult was it to be taken off for medical reasons when so close to the end he said, “Well, you know, I’m a person where you don’t look back. It happened. After a minute or two, you go, okay, so what’s the next challenge? What’s the next thing I’m going to do? That’s the way I follow my life. I’ve always been adventurous. I’m thrilled I got selected. I’m thrilled about that. I’m thrilled that I made it and I’m thrilled that I made the distance that I did on the show. I wanted to see if I could do the challenge. I thought I was in great shape. I thought intellectually and socially that I would be able to do good, and I think I did, in my opinion. I still seek adventure in life. I want to do that until the day I go kicking and screaming and the good Lord says, ‘Joe, your time’s up, buddy.’ Look forward.” So what is next on Del Campo’s agenda: “I have a cabin up in North Carolina I’m going to go up to. I haven’t been there since the whole Survivor epic started. So I’m looking for a little downtime. It’s been exciting, but I want to go to the mountains and kick back for a little while.” Del Campo has no regrets: “This all worked out well. It all worked out the way it’s supposed to be. I’m here now. I call it “The Million Dollar Meal.” I do! If I had made it to finals, I don’t know if I would have won, but I certainly took myself out of contention.”

What’s In The Stars For The Week Of May 23

New Dry Eye Treatments available in Ormond Beach

• Lasik • Dry Eye Treatments
LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) A new approach to a problem could have a good chance of succeeding if it's based on a solid foundation and its potential for standing up to scrutiny. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) A favorable report should give your optimism an important boost as you confront another phase of a challenge. Don't be timid about accepting advice. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You might want to target another goal if your current aim is continually being deflected. Find a new one, stay with it, and follow it through. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Although offers of advice might not always please the sure-footed Goat, good counsel is always worth considering, especially from those with experience. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Don't rush to make up for lost time. Your productivity can be measured not only by what you do, but how you do it. Move carefully until the job is done. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Emerging facts about someone you know might cause you to rethink your relationship. Remember to make judgments in context of a full situation.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Whether a waiting period is taking longer than expected, or just seems that way, the anxious Lamb would do well to create a center of calm within. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Practical matters dominate the week, but cultural activities also are favored, especially those that can be shared with someone special in the Bovine's life. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You need to know more about a possible career move in order to see if it offers a real opportunity or just a change. You will get lots of advice, but you must deside. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The arrival of hoped-for good news about a loved one dominates most of the week and provides a great excuse for the party-loving Moon Child. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Leos and Leonas rushing to finalize their plans might want to think about slowing down the pace, or risk overlooking an important consideration that could be a sore point. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) The week's challenges call for logical approaches. Sentiment also has its place. Sharing memories with a special someone, for example, strengthens the bond.

• Spring sports are in full swing for us, and we definitely still use the slow cooker. I often double recipes to freeze when I cook. When the recipe allows, I thaw the dinners for the week in the fridge. After school but before sports, I put the thawed meal in the slow cooker to heat up while we're out. It works great for spaghetti sauce with meatballs, cooked chicken, meatloaf, or cube steak and stews, etc. Coming home to a warm, almost-ready meal is a blessing after being out on the field. We're usually starved. —E.I. in New York • Things from the kitchen you can add to your vegetable garden: leftover chamomile tea, black tea leaves, coffee grounds, banana skins, the water left behind when cooking vegetables, etc. Also, look up how to make your own compost pile. It does not have to be big! You can find information on the Internet or at the library.
• If you're chopping a lot of tomatoes and need to remove the seeds, this tip will leave you spinning. Get out your salad spinner, add chopped tomatoes, and give it a whirl. • My mom bought me a beauty blender—a foam makeup brush that's really good for contouring and blending. Then my grandma saw it rolling around my vanity, dropping on the floor (gross). She gave me an egg cup to use. I've never used one for eating a boiled egg, but it fits my makeup brush perfectly! —J.J. in Florida • Give your computer a spring cleaning by updating your browser and critical programs, changing to a fresh password, and perusing your security and privacy settings.

Be Aware When Chosing Assited Living For Loved Ones Special to Seniors Today re you dealing with an aging loved one? Are you looking for help? Where do you start to search for resources? Online—it’s free and anonymous, right? Don’t click yet! Your online search can target you! Let’s say that in your online search you fill in a little information on a website. Soon you may get a call from an empathetic “eldercare specialist.” They inform you that they will help you. BE AWARE, you are now their customer exclusively. Can you trust them? Do you realize that this “eldercare specialist” is paid on commission and only gets paid when you choose a company or service they recommend? Do you realize that they will only recommend services or facilities that have signed a contract to pay the company for referrals? Do you realize that they may live 1,000 miles away and may work off a “list” provided by the company? Do you realize that they may spew your information out to all these contracted service providers and facilities in your area? All of these service providers and facilities may then call you directly. In a New York Times article, A Helping Hand, Paid on Commission, by Paula Span (9-3-11) she writes:

“Many free referral services operate this way, including the nation’s largest, which every month fields requests from 50,000 families and refers them to 18,000 facilities and agencies—all of which have signed contracts agreeing to pay when a lead becomes a customer. . . a network of 430 advisers across the country works the phones to try to make that happen.” In an interview, the CEO of this large firm, went on to state in part that—in many cases, advisers will be referring callers to assisted living or independent living facilities, nursing homes, specialized dementia residences, continuing care communities, or home care agencies that they haven’t visited or know. Wouldn’t you rather trust your loved one’s care to locals who have personal experience with local assisted living or independent living facilities, nursing homes, specialized dementia residences, continuing care communities, or home care agencies? If we at Assited Living Made Simple don’t know and trust them, we won’t recommend them. We have personally visited the facilities we recommend. Let us help you.

Pet Care Gifts That Aren't Appreciated by Sam Mazzotta
Dear Paw's Corner: My mother has a 3-year-old mixed Shitzu/poodle. He is very spoiled and loves to go with her everywhere. The problem is that when she leaves him (it doesn't matter what house he's left at), he leaves a large, smelly present. I can see this is in defiance, but what can we do? Please reply; I'm desperate. —C.L, via email Dear C.L.: Your first move should be to erase the word defiance from your vocabulary. Yes, your mother's dog (let's call him Fluffy) is getting upset when he's left behind, but he's not being angry or defiant or petulant. The term here is separation anxiety, and many pets suffer from it. Fluffy is very attached to your mother. Your mom keeps the dog close by at all times, bringing him along on most of her errands, as well as to your house, where she occasionally leaves him while she runs out. The length of time she is gone doesn't matter. When your mother leaves Fluffy behind, he becomes very anx-
ious. Like many anxious pets, he engages in destructive behavior—in this case, soiling. Some pets chew up their owners' shoes or destroy the living room. Yelling at Fluffy, rubbing his nose in his own mess or confining him will not stop the behavior. His anxiety has to be addressed. Fluffy needs independence training, possibly combined with an anti-anxiety drug. The veterinarian is the first step in the process. An obedience trainer can put together a regimen that gradually increases Fluffy's ability to be left alone. If your mother follows the vet's (or trainer's) program faithfully, Fluffy will improve immensely. Your carpet will look much, much better. Send your questions or tips to ask@ pawscorner.com
Flashback Test Your Music Knowledge by Mick Harper
1. Who had a hit song with Year Of The Cat? 2. The year 1964 ended with the Beatles having a number 1 song. What was it? 3. Name the group that had a hit with Why You Treat Me So Bad? 4. What singer was born Charles Weedon Westover? 5. Name the song that contains this lyric: I'm never gonna dance again, Guilty feet have got no rhythm, Though it's easy to pretend, I know you're not a fool. Answers 1. Al Stewart, in 1976. The album version was 6 minutes 40 seconds long, of which 4 minutes is pure instrumental. 2. I Feel Fine. John Lennon kept playing with a guitar riff while the group recorded another song, and he eventually wrote this song just so he could use that particular riff.
3. Club Nouveau, in 1987. Their biggest hit, however, was Bill Withers' Lean On Me the same year. 4 Del Shannon, of Runaway fame. 5. Careless Whisper, by George Michael in 1984, although he was still performing with Wham!. Co-writer Michael later said that although the song has meant so much to so many people, it didn't mean anything to him when he wrote it. Released as a b-side, the song topped charts around the world.

Humane Society Update Animal Welfare he Halifax Humane Society announces the completed renovation of the shelter’s dog adoption kennel area. This renovation was made possible by a $360,000 grant from The ASPCA® (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®). The renovation includes the latest technologies in animal husbandry; improving safety, health, and adoption potential for dogs. “Throughout time we have learned that simply adding kennels does not address the underlying issues of animal welfare. Our new kennels will facilitate a healthier and more inviting environment, leading to better adopter experiences. These will improve our life saving programs holistically by increasing turnover and reducing stressors.”—Miguel Abi-hassan, CEO. The large dog adoption area, a section of the shelter that was in the greatest need for renovation, was designed in the 1970s. The newly renovated kennels will help prevent transmission of disease with state of the art, seamless flooring systems and glass kennel doors. The aesthetics have also been improved with sound suppression ceilings and air flow management, both of which allow for less stress on animals and the adopters coming to see them. HHS is proud to re-open this large dog kennel adoption area. The opening follows on the foothills of one of the best years in HHS history for pet adoptions and a reduction of euthanasia. Further improvements for the 78-year old organization are already underway, including a destination rest area and dog park opening very soon! If you have not had the chance to visit us lately, we invite you to join us in this exciting time for Halifax Humane Society! Interested in adopting with HHS? Visit our website at Halifax Humane Society.org to view a complete list of animals available for adoption. Halifax Humane Society’s animal adoption fees start at $35 and include spay/neuter surgery, shots, deworming, microchipping, and pet insurance.

Senior Service Line Do You Owe Taxes On Social Security? by Matilda Charles
ne of the perks of retirement for many seniors is not having to pay taxes any longer—except when we do. Sometimes when we discover that we have to pay taxes after all, it's a tough situation. According to a Social Security assistant deputy commissioner in a recent newsletter, one-third of seniors receiving benefits have to pay taxes because of disability and survivor benefits, as well as income that is in addition to Social Security. You'll need your benefit statement (Form SSA-1099), which you likely received in January, to calculate whether you need to pay taxes. This document is similar to a regular Form 1099 in that it's used to send information about your income to the Internal Revenue Service. The amount listed is what you received the previous year. Specifically, if your benefits and any additional income exceed $25,000 (or $32,000 for a married couple filing jointly), you'll have to pay tax. Depending on your income, you might be taxed on
O
up to 50 percent of your benefits. You'll never pay taxes on more than 85 percent of your Social Security benefits. If you didn't get your benefits statement in the mail or have misplaced it, there are two ways to find out the amount of your benefits. You can go to your My Social Security account (if you don't have one, you can open one online) and select "Replacement Documents" to get a new form, or you can call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 and ask that one be sent to you. Even if you don't have to pay federal taxes on your Social Security benefits, beware of state taxes. There are more than a dozen states that may tax that income.

Strange But True Fire-Breathing Serpent by Samantha Weaver
• It was award-winning Canadian novelist, poet, essayist, and literary critic Margaret Atwood who made the following sage observation: "Your romantic tragedy when you were 19 becomes a funny anecdote by the time you're 45. Then, 30 years later, you can't remember their name." • In 1819, some Native peoples in the United States got quite a surprise. Fearing trouble from tribes, a group of western river explorers traveled in a steamboat that had been modified to resemble a fire-breathing serpent. • After the disaster of the Exxon Valdez, the oil tanker's former captain, Joseph Hazelwood—who evidently had been so drunk that he was passed out in his bunk when the devastating collision occurred—was hired by the New York Maritime College. His job? Teaching students how to stand watch. • At one time in New York City it was against the law to play pinball.
• Tombstones weren't always used to record information about the deceased's life; they were originally just large, unmarked slabs of stone placed atop a fresh grave—a barrier to ensure that no undead creature or ghastly spirit could escape to trouble the living. • The woman who was declared the female winner of the 1980 Boston Marathon had the title stripped from her after officials noticed her absence from any of the photographs or video footage from the middle of the event. It seems she veered off course, killed a little time around town, then rode the subway a spot less than a mile from the finish line, rejoining the race at the very end.
