Smile Because It Happened ife only gets dull and boring if you let it. These days, we are finding more interesting observances and short notes of hope and cheer with the quick click of our electronic phones and I-pads. Many people complain that they have always been too busy earning a living to take a vacation: Living on earth is expensive but it does include a trip around the sun every year. This one is for real: How long a minute is depends on which side of the bathroom door you are on. Unexpected visits from friends you haven’t seen in years or having a brand new experience: Happiness comes through doors you didn’t even know you left open. Heather dreaded turning 40 but she found a way to look forward to it by counting down the days, one by one. We would find a new photo on Facebook each day, of her—riding a subway; singing with a band; serving ice cream at an outdoor stand; and showing up in varied New York locations. The numbers grew among those who followed her daily countdown and her life was turning into more fun than she ever imagined. On her actual birthday, she thanked her followers, old and new, and used a picture of herself as a child, happily looking forward to her next venture. Birthdays are good for you. The more you have the longer you live. You get in your car and travel down the road when suddenly you are faced with a sign stating Road Work Ahead. You have to make a left turn and find a new route. This could be most interesting: A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour. A widow(er), remembering the married years: Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.

You Name It …by Kitty Maiden

With T-shirts bearing all kinds of printed material, you really have to be careful where you go wearing certain messages. A gal who has always loved to sing, purchased a T-shirt at a Sweet Adelines regional meeting with the cutest cupid image on it. The message read, Music Turns Me On. She wore it to a local party for a friend who was moving away and got much more attention than the honoree! Most of us go to our grave with our music still inside of us. A group of missionaries returned from Kenya where they helped dig a well, so the residents could have decent drinking water without having to walk many miles each day: Working for God on earth does not pay much but his retirement plan is out of this world. This one speaks for itself: Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once. How true is this? You may be only one person in the world but you may be the whole world to one person. Kitty Maiden is a staff writer for Seniors Today.

by George Goldtrap he closing school bell rang at 3 but I didn’t start home until about 3:20. I stayed a bit longer because I was a student crossing guard … you remember, the guys that held the bamboo poles with the STOP flag. We made crossing the street safer by controlling the traffic. I lived half a block away, so it was 3:30 or so before I was home. I always hurried home so I could hear my radio shows … Superman, Tom Mix, The Lone Ranger, Terry And The Pirates, Sky King, Dick Tracy, The Shadow, etc. Remember those? Radio was our entertainment because TV didn’t exist. Each show was about 15-30 minutes and there was the important line…“ We’ll be right back after this important message from our sponsor,” followed by commercials for Kellogs Pep, Carnation Malted Milk, Quaker Puffed Wheat, or some other produce marketed to kids. I loved the commercial for Quaker Puffed Wheat…“Shot from guns” the announcer said. I envisioned giant cannons, loaded with wheat and then BOOM … the Puffed Wheat was shot into boxes. How naive you say. Yes, but remember we were kids. The shows were always serial cliff hangers and always exciting. For all this 10 year old knew, they could have been real. You had to tune in tomorrow. I loved’em. All the shows offered premiums which you could get by sending in 10 cents and a box top or label. There were secret decoder rings, special books of tricks, pictures of the stars, etc. Naturally I wanted all of them. We had an old tubed radio, cathedral style, but it didn’t work. I listened on an early portable/plug-in Army radio that my uncle brought home from WWll. I wanted to be a radio announcer or actor. Years later my dream came true… I became both… and eventually into television. Like me, lots of kids had mothers that worked. We were ordered to come straight home and stay there until mother or dad arrived. The programs filled the slot. How great. Actually I didn’t go straight home. I stopped in a friend’s yard and stayed ‘til I could see my mother get off the bus and start walking home. I then shot up the alley, jumped the back fence, and was in the house listening to the radio by the time she arrived. Slick, but dangerous. Had I been caught… oohhh… let’s not even talk about it. I knew all the special phrases. “Up Up and Away” said Superman’s announcer, adding, “Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive. Look up in the sky. It’s a bird; it’s a plane, it’s Superman.” I especially liked the theme for the Lone Ranger. It was the William Tell Overture by

Happy Talk …by George & Peggy Goldtrap Rossini and I had learned to play it on piano. Da Da Dump… Da Da Dump… Da Da Dump Dump Dump! I‘ll bet you can hear it in your head right now! Years later I heard Glen Campbell play it on guitar and the Lone Ranger immediately popped up in my mind. A great picture from my childhood. The beauty of radio was that we had no pictures. We had to paint those in our tiny mind. TV took away that challenge. I loved another children’s program that aired Saturday morning. A drama, it was called Let’s Pretend. It came on about 9, just when mother wanted me to help her do the wash in the ole Speed Queen ringer washer. I hated that chore. I wanted to Pretend. I stalled as long as I could until Mother finally yelled … George Albert! When she used your middle name you knew you were out of time. In the evenings, Dad and I enjoyed the comedy shows… Fibber McGee & Molly, Amos And Andy, and mother’s favorite music program, Name That Tune. In this contest, the participants were awarded money if they could ‘Name That Tune.’ I often knew the tune from my piano lessons. Perhaps my favorite was Sunday night’s Gangbusters. Problem was Mother took me to church on Sunday night. Dad didn’t go to evening worship, so if I feigned I wasn’t feeling well, I was allowed to stay home with him… and guess what… we listened to Gangbusters… a rough and tumble, shoot’em up, police show. It sure beat going to church! Today Peg and I have the mandatory big screen flat TV, but oh how I miss the radio and its necessary imagination for pictures in your mind. What powerful training for a boy who was to become a broadcast writer. When radio was king there were lots of good programs… Stop the Music, Jack Benny, Bob Hope, Maw Perkins, Lorenzo Jones, and of course on Saturday night, the Grand Old Opry. What a line-up. What a thrill when I grew up and got to work on TV with several of those Opry stars like Grandpa Jones and Roy Acuff. Today I enjoy the clear and beautiful pictures on TV, but I am thankful for my years around the radio with Mom and Dad. I didn’t realize it then but today I know it helped shape my character and my career. You just can’t grow up in a better home than that!

October 5, 2018—Seniors Today—Page 7 Marci Part Two Chapter 10 wilda Conant, was a person to be reckoned with in the community. She was a small women, with long grey hair she kept pulled up in a bun on the back of her head. Folks that knew her well knew she, like many women of her generation had grown up on the red clay hills of North Florida trying to scratch a living out of the land. She was known far and wide for two things, her ability to interpret dreams and her bunion. It had been her bunion that had predicted the storms of 1927 and 1917 and had interpreted Myles McPherson’s dream about fire that burned through the county in 1925. She stood in Marci’s bedroom doorway and observed the room. The only thing she noticed was a picture of Marci and Isaiah Sr. on the table next to the bed. Mada went to Marci’s side and asked for Isaiah Jr. “I’ll take him down stairs so that you and mother can talk,” she said as Marci handed Isaiah Jr. to her. Iwilda walked over to where Marci was standing and reached out her hand. Marci saw her gesture and met it with her own hand. “May we sit down,” Iwilda asked Marci. Iwilda adjusted her chair so that she could see Marci’s face. “Now, tell me about these dreams you are having,” Iwilda asked her. “I have had so many, I’m not sure where to start,” Marci said as she looked at Iwilda’s face. Her eyes seemed to have a calmest about them, Marci had never seen before. They were dark blue and seemed to be staring into your soul as she looked at you. “Well, maybe we should start with the last one you had,” Iwilda said. Regaining her composure from starring at Iwilda’s eyes, Marci told her of the dream she had with the bad storms and not being able to get away from the rain and lightning. “That one is pretty simple to interpret,” Iwilda told her. “You see bad weather and especially bad weather with lightning means you have troubles in your life and child you have just been through a terrible storm with the death of you husband,” Iwilda told her. “We all have those storms, whether it is the loss of a loved one or the tragedy of a bad accident,” Iwilda told her. “The good thing about those storms is that when they clear up, the world is a much brighter place. Most importantly, you survive the bad weather to live another day,” Iwilda told her as she looked at Marci. I’ve had other dreams too,” Marci said as she turned and looked at Iwilda. “Ok, tell me about one of those then.” Iwilda said. I’ve had this one dream many times where I’m on a trail and I cannot turn around and go back, but am forced to keep going forward. I can see the trail ahead and it is filled with hills and valleys,” Marci told her. “That too is simple,” Iwilda said, but Marci interrupted her before she could finish he comment. “The sun began to set in the west and the hills and the valleys were soon covered in

Winding Roads …by Byron Spires

a blood red cast of light much redder than any sunset I had ever seen and as I stopped to watch I could see the heat of the sun as it seemed to rush forward toward me. I overook me as I stood on the hill and as it passed I felt like my soul was being ripped from my body,” Marci told Iwilda. “I know that your dream is about facing the trials and tribulations that life sends our way. We all have them and like in your dream, honey sometimes you just can’t go back and we must keep striving to move forward,” Iwilda told her. There was something perplexing about Marci dream that Iwilda could not interpret, the blood red sunset. Blood in a dream usually suggested a bad omen of some sort, but Iwilda did not see any reason to tell Marci. That interpretation did not fit with the rest of Marci’s dream, she decided. The two sat and talked for over an hour about Marci’s other dreams as well, none seemed to draw much attention from Iwilda like the first two that Marci had told her. “I hope our little talk has helped you some,” Iwilda said to Marci. “Oh, it has, I feel much better now that we’ve talked,” Marci responded back to her. Marci was telling Iwilda the truth, she did feel better. Her dreams had bothered her a lot. “Mrs. Cora Mae, said it was time for lunch and she wants you to stay Mother,” Mada said. The three of them and Isaiah Jr. went down stairs to the kitchen Frank was already there sitting at the table eating when they arrived. In a few minutes he was finished and left the women to eat. “Ever since he got that radio contraption, he leaves the table and goes straight to the living room to listen to it,” Cora Mae said with a chuckle. “I need to head back home and check on Uriah,” Iwilda said as she too excused herself from the table. The two could see Frank sitting in his chair leaning toward the radio. “His hearing is getting bad, that’s why he has the volume turned up so loud,” Cora Mae said. There was an announcement blaring from the speaker as they walked by. “The Empire of Japan invaded the Chinese province of Manchuria. The invasion started September 18th when the Kwantung Army of the Empire of Japan invaded Manchuria immediately following the Mukden Incident,” the announcer said. Marci was at the top of the stairs headed to her room when she too heard the announcement. “Who is the Empire of Japan,” Marci asked Isaiah Jr. as she chuckled and laid him in his crib.

Flu-Fighting Facts he flu is nothing to sneeze at. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), influenza has resulted in between 9.2 million and 35.6 million illnesses annually since 2010. The best way to stay out of such statistics, the CDC says, is for everyone who is eligible and at least 6 months old to get a flu shot as soon as the vaccine becomes available. A recent poll [1] found that twothirds of those surveyed get a flu vaccine every year or plan to get one this year, a 5 percent increase from last year. One reason so many are flocking to get the shot is the knowledge of last year’s flu season—which according to the CDC had flu levels that were the highest observed since 2009. Twentytwo percent of those surveyed[2] say that knowledge of last year’s severe flu season makes them more likely to get a flu shot this year. On a similar note, among the 27 percent of parents of children under 18 whose child did not get the flu vaccine last year, 26 percent say they are more likely to get their child vaccinated this year after learning about the notably high flu levels during last year’s flu season. The percentage who get vaccinated at a pharmacy stayed at 22 percent, but the percentage of employed adults who get vaccinated at their workplace fell from 22 percent to 15 percent while those who got vaccinated by a health care professional rose from 44 percent to 48 percent. The survey also found that doctors’ opinions (39 percent), where insurance is accepted (38 percent), and convenience (33 percent) rank among the top three factors in determining where to go for the shot. The flu vaccine is a preventive service under the Affordable Care Act, so it’s fully covered and available at no cost through most insurance plans, including Medicare Part B. “Surprising to many, it can actually take up to two weeks for the flu vaccine to build immunity,” explained Angela Patterson, Chief Nurse Practitioner Officer at MinuteClinic. “Because of this, Pharmacies recommends patients get their flu shot as soon as the vaccine becomes available to ensure patients are the most protected before flu season peaks. Furthermore, influenza strains tend to change each year, so it’s very important to get vaccinated annually to make sure you are protected.” What Else You Can Do: 1. Stay home if you’re sick. The survey found that two out of three respondents would still go to work if they had flulike symptoms.

In fact, flulike symptoms haven’t stopped some people from going out in public in general: • 28 percent have gone to the supermarket • 12 percent have picked up a child from school or day care • 10 percent have taken public transportation. 2. Wash your hands often with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based cleaner. 3. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. Germs spread this way. 4. Clean and disinfect surfaces and objects that may be contaminated. [1] Survey was conducted in the United States by The Harris Poll on July 12-16, 2018, among 2,020 adults ages 18 and older. [2] U.S. adults surveyed who did not get a flu shot last year.

Leave A Legacy Not A Family Feud retha Franklin died without a will. Like many, Franklin was probably “going to get to it,” but life just got in the way. Now Aretha Franklin joins the list of wealthy celebrities and approximately 64 percent of Americans who don’t have a will. According to Forbes magazine, of those Americans surveyed by Rocket Lawyer in 2015, when asked about a will, said that they simply haven’t “gotten around to making it yet.” Twenty-seven percent of Americans believe that signing a will is not urgent. Does that mean that they have a watch with a count down to their date of death? Single with four sons, Aretha’s children will equally divide up the estate as an intestate, in absence of will. Why she didn’t take the time to sign a will we may never know. According to the survey, people have several reasons for not getting around to it. 1. They believe a will costs too much, so they put it off until some event happens (like I have to get my other bills paid first). A will generally ranges from $350 to a $1,200. The cost varies depending on the complexity of the will and the attorney’s experience. 2. Some of those questioned didn’t think it was urgent. We don’t want to think we are going to die anytime soon. If they sign a will, their death becomes more of a reality. Yes, that’s true for all of us, whether we have a will or not. I begged my father to do a simple will because I knew as the only attorney in the family

Protect What Matters …by Linda Carley the mess would end up in my lap. For reasons he couldn’t express, he didn’t get around to it and it was a mess. 3. Others procrastinators in the Survey responded, “I don’t really have anything so it shouldn’t be a problem.” The same people who thought the will was costly also underestimated the value of their assets and didn’t think there was much to distribute. There is little relationship between the size of the estate and the potential for family fighting. In fact the estate’s value does not seem to have an impact on a family’s ability to make mountains out of molehills. If you don’t have a will because you haven’t “gotten around to it,” you think they cost too much, or you don’t have enough to matter, you’re in good company. Nevertheless, you need a will and without one you are still going to die like everyone else, you’ll never find the money if you don’t make it a priority, and you’ll have no control over what happens to your assets. Leave a legacy not a family feud. Attorney Linda Carley is the Senior Attorney and Owner at Legacy Law Group, 517 S. Ridgewood Ave., Ste. 201, Daytona Beach.

What’s In The Stars For The Week Of October 8 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Aspects favor new romances for unpaired Ewes and Rams. Already-paired Arian twosomes experience renewed harmony in their relationships. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Use that strong Bovine determination to help you keep the faith with your convictions while you move through a period of uncertainty. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Pay attention to your intuition. It could be alerting you to be careful about accepting a statement of fact simply on trust. Don't be shy about asking for proof. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Concern for the well-being of someone in need is admirable. Don't forget to take care of yourself. Ask a family member, close friend, or colleague to help you. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) It's okay to focus on the demands of your career. Try to avoid misunderstandings by also reaching out to family and friends. Your sharp intuitive sense kicks in. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Keep a rein on that green-eyed monster. Jealousy is counterproductive. Instead of resenting a colleague's good points, concentrate on developing your own abilities.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Spending time on a creative project during this high-energy week can pay off with emotional satisfaction and in impressing someone who is important to you. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Now is a good time to start planning that trip you've put off because of the time demands. Be sure to choose a destination that is new and exciting. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) That upbeat mood makes you eager to take on new ventures. A more serious note sets in later to help you assess an upcoming decision. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) A high energy level gives the Goat the get-up-and-go to finish outstanding tasks before deadline, leaving time for wellearned fun and games. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Dealing with disappointment is never easy. The wise Aquarian will use it as a vital lesson and be the better for it. A close friend has something important to say. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Best bet is not to get involved in an argument between colleagues until you know more about who started it and why. Even then, appearances could be deceiving.

Humane Society Update How To Find Your Lost Pet by Barry KuKes f you have ever lost your pet, you know the anxiety and panic you feel when you first discover your pet is missing. Driving around the area and calling out their name over and over again, praying they haven’t been injured by a car or met up with any wildlife. It is an overwhelming feeling of helplessness. There are some basic things you can do to help find your pet and one, very cool trick that has worked time and time again. When I was living in South Dakota, hunters would use this trick to find their hunting dogs that took off after a pheasant only to lose their way. I am not a hunter, but I found the trick to be very effective. Recently, a woman reached out to us on Facebook because her son had lost his pet ferret. The ferret escaped through a slightly opened window and disappeared into the night. The poor kid looked all night but could not find his ferret. I suggested she get an article of clothing of the person the pet likes the most. Try to use a recently worn article of clothing instead a laundered piece of clothing. The more scent of the person on the clothing, the better. Place the article of clothing near where the pet was last seen. In the case of the ferret, I suggested near the window that the ferret escaped from. Place a small bowl of water by the clothing but no food. If you feed the animal, they may wander off again and food might attract wildlife. Since the ferret was a caged pet, I suggested placing the cage outside as well and place the clothing inside the cage. Now, just wait to see what happens. The following morning, when the woman checked the cage at 5:30 A.M., the ferret was snuggled up safe and sound laying on the son’s shirt. The woman and her son couldn’t believe that this method worked. The sense of smell of a ferret is much greater than that of a dog. It would be like a dog being able to smell a fly 2 miles away. Dogs also have an enhanced sense of smell that is 40 times greater than that of a human being. Therefore, this method works so well. Other things you can do to improve your chances of finding your pet: Use social media as much as possible to spread the word about your lost pet. Send the pets image and information including where it was last seen, its name, its gender, its age, etc. Ask shelters like HHS to share. There are several Lost & Found Pet Facebook pages available where you can also submit your post. You can also try the old school method of posting paper notices on lamp posts, fences, at supermarkets, etc. Visit the local shelters to see if your pet is there. Don’t call and ask the shelter to have an employee visit 300 plus cages and kennels to see if they have a brown and white pit-bull. Most shelters do not have the man power to offer this service.

Don’t give up too quickly. We have seen owners reunited with their pets 2, 3, and ever 10-years. In these cases, the reunion was due to a microchip being scanned during the intake process into the shelter. For about $20 you can have a chip painlessly inserted into your pet that can be scanned by most shelters and veterinarian offices. Don’t forget to register your chip online once you have purchased one for your pet. If you don’t register the chip, it’s useless. Lastly, there are many animals that never get lost because they have been trained not to run off. HHS offers affordable private and group classes.

Moments In Time Ferraris In 1947 The History Channel

• On Oct. 1, 1864, Confederate spy Rose O'Neal Greenhow drowns off the North Carolina coast. Greenhow was carrying Confederate dispatches and $2,000 in gold when captured. Insisting that she be taken ashore, she boarded a small lifeboat that overturned in the rough surf. The weight of the gold pulled her under, and her body washed ashore the next morning. • On Oct. 2, 1968, the St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Bob Gibson strikes out 17 Detroit Tigers in the first game of the World Series, breaking Sandy Koufax's record. • On Oct. 3, 1932, with the admission of Iraq into the League of Nations, Britain terminates its mandate, making the Arab nation independent after 17 years of British rule and centuries of Ottoman rule. • On Oct. 4, 1944, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower distributes to his combat units a shell shock report by the U.S. Surgeon General that reveals

the hazards of prolonged exposure to combat. U.S. commanders judged that the average soldier could last about 200 days in combat before suffering serious psychiatric damage. • On Oct. 5, 1919, Enzo Ferrari makes his debut as a race car driver. In the mid-1920s, Ferrari retired from racing cars to pursue his dream: building them. In 1947, the first Ferraris appeared on the market. In 1949, a Ferrari won the Le Mans 24-hour race. • On Oct. 6, 1683, encouraged by William Penn's offer of 5,000 acres of land in Pennsylvania and the freedom to practice their religion, the first Mennonites arrive in America. The group founded Germantown, now part of the city of Philadelphia. • On Oct. 7, 1955, poet Alan Ginsberg reads his poem Howl at a poetry reading in San Francisco. The poem's book publication led to the arrest of publisher Lawrence Ferlinghetti for obscenity. He was later tried and then acquitted.

Page14—Seniors Today—October 5, 2018 This Is Going To Get Political, But Hear Me Out his election year, I believe we have a rare opportunity to make our government more responsive to the needs of citizens and more accountable to the voters. Amendment 10 is on the ballot to put power back into the hands of the people. I'm voting yes. Why do I care so much about Amendment 10? It will have a direct impact on the Sheriff's Office here in Volusia County, where the little-known truth is that unelected bureaucrats—NOT the elected sheriff— actually have all the power over matters of public safety. That is because years ago, Volusia County stripped independence away from elected constitutional officers like sheriff, property appraiser, clerk of court, and supervisor of elections, and made them elected department heads who answer to a hired county manager. Most people don't know this, but your vote doesn't mean as much as you think it does when you cast your ballot for any of these constitutional officers. We still believe we are accountable to you, but what our outdated system of county government really demands is that we answer to the manager. Amendment 10 changes that. It guarantees that charter county governments like Volusia's will actually have elected constitutional officers who are directly accountable to the voters, not to a bureaucracy. That means I don't have to go get the manager's permission to start a new crime prevention program, or implement new technology. It means the county manager no longer has the ultimate right to hire, fire, promote, demote, and even determine starting and quitting time for every Sheriff's Office employee. My personal belief is that when it comes to the Sheriff's Office, the person in charge should have law enforcement qualifications and experience—and the voters should be able to judge those factors when they decide who gets their vote. As it stands today, the person in charge is a county manager who never has to put his or her name on the ballot, and can never be voted out of office. If I do a bad job as sheriff, the people can vote me out. That's how our system is supposed to work. Amendment 10 also protects and improves other areas of government: It creates the Office of Domestic Security and Counterterrorism, and it formally preserves Florida's Department of Veterans Affairs, ensuring we make a priority of caring for our state's 1.5 million military veterans. Another provision in Amendment 10 improves state and county budgeting by requiring the Legislature to start its session earlier every other year.

From The Sheriff …Volusia County Sheriff Chitwood These are common-sense changes. There are special interests out there pushing hard against Amendment 10. Those special interests use a variety of scare tactics, but they don't have much of an argument. They'll falsely claim Amendment 10 is a threat to home-rule government. It's not—it simply ensures you have the right to vote for independent constitutional officers. Home-rule government will continue. Opponents will try to say Amendment 10 is misleading because it addresses more than a single issue. The state Supreme Court has already ruled Amendment 10 is appropriate—just like so many other important amendments that have passed over the years. I've been watching this process unfold from the beginning, and my message has always been the same: Let the people vote. Isn't that what our country is about? Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood

Ponce Rally Huge Success Special to Seniors Today ver a hundred people turned out on October 1 at the Ponce Rally to help celebrate the day the new ‘Ponce Law’ went in to effect! Numerous Dignitaries were on hand to speak and show their support as well. You could hear the horns of trucks and cars, and even a police siren as they passed by those holding signs.

Even the youngest animal lover showed up to support Ponce Law!

Daytona Beach resident Debbie Darino was excited to have organized the event! Darino is responsible for getting the ball rolling to create Ponce Law. She was so saddened and angered by the horrific beating and death of a black Labrador puppy named Ponce that she decided it was time to do something about it! With the help of Rep. Tom Leek and Ponce Inlet Chief of Police Frank Fabrizio she was now seeing it become a reality. Here’s an explanation (in plain language) from Darino in what she did to create Ponce law: “The current statute is a level 3 under the CPC (criminal punishment code). What I did was change that level 3 to a level 5. Any offense that is under a level 5, the judge would need to make a written finding of danger to the public to sentence a defendant to prison. A level 5 offense allows a judge to sentence someone to jail/ prison without a written finding. That ‘written statement of finding’ was the “hang-up” in the current statute and judges were NOT doing the statement... and so abusers were not going to jail. Now that it will be a level 5, they will not have to do the statement at all... making it easier so they can and will sentence these abusers to jail if convicted I also added no contact, owning, possessing, etc. an animal if convicted at the Judge's discretion. That language is in no other animal bill in the state and is just as important because these abusers should not be able to own an animal if convicted of animal abuse.” Darino worked 24/7 to get the bill into the House to be voted on last year. Her petition now boast over 92,500 signatures! You can still sign the petition at change.org Just search for Ponce Law and you will find the petition she created on April 10, 2017.

The rally speakers began with encouraging words from Volusia County Sheriff, Mike Chitwood. He pledged (L to R) Debbie Darino, Sheriff Chitwood, Bonnie Schillinger (Seniors Today)

his departments support in helping to stop animal abuse and his excitement over the new law. His comment, “If you abuse animals, we will come get you!” was met with loud applause. Chief Fabrizio praised those involved early on in the case as well as Darino. He stated, “Don’t ever think because

Debbie Darino, Rep. Tom Leek, and Chief Fabrizio. you are only one person you can’t help! Darnio is proof you can!” Rep. Tom Leek was on hand and honored he was able to bring the law to the House to be passed. He said, “Even though it looked cloudy when I got up, no matter what, the sun is shining on the Ponce Rally today. No clouds here!” Darino summed up the rally with these words: “I am thrilled about the outcome of the rally and all of the support from the people in this community, Justice For Ponce group, our leaders, and our Law Enforcement officers. Its a great day for all the animals in the state of Florida. It only takes one person to make a difference and I urge people everywhere to stand up for what they believe in and see it through until the end—no matter what it takes!

Antiques Victorian Furniture By Terry and Kim Kovel arge, ornate Victorian furniture is selling for low prices at auctions for many reasons. Houses are smaller and bedrooms have more windows and closets, so there are fewer plain walls for large double beds or dressers. Plus, the elaborate carvings are out of style. The furniture also is very heavy and hard to move. Sometimes the headboard is too high for a modern room with an 8-foot ceiling, and the bedroom sets have too many pieces. A few makers are so important that their work is treated as art. John Henry Belter, Alexander Roux, Joseph Meeks, and John Jelliff are a few designers who still are getting very high prices; however, bargains also exist in well-made, stylish Victorian pieces manufactured away from the East Coast. The H.B. Mudge Furniture Co. of Cincinnati designed and made a Victorian suite consisting of a washstand with mirror, commode, dresser and a bed with a high, carved headboard and footboard (pictured). It descended in the Mudge family and was auctioned by Cowan Auctions of Cincinnati for $5,400 (includes buyer’s premium). The company was founded in 1837 and made many kinds of household furniture. *** Q: I just bought a handcrafted silver ring with a multicolored flat stone with a

It was made from solid walnut with burl and carved trim. tag that reads “sterling silver with an authentic piece of Fordite.” No one here knows what Fordite is. Can you help? A: We first learned about Fordite over 20 years ago. Many car manufacturers were closing their plants. Someone noticed that the floor where they had been painting the cars was covered with a thick layers of hard automobile paint. Since cars were made in many different colors, the floor had swirling patterns in the hardened material. Rock hounds and other collectors “mined” the material, sometimes with permission and sometimes after the plants were about to be torn down. Small pieces of this mined material are still available, and they usually are made into jewelry. We have seen pendants and rings made with Fordite set in gold that sell for more than $1,000.
