I have had the song in this column’s headline and the theme song from ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars” for more than a month now, and it isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Especially when I am working toward making my ballroom dancing debut with flying colors come April 14.

If you haven’t guessed yet, yes, it’s true! I am one of the 11 local “stars” featured in the 2012 Dancing With Our Stars Syracuse competition, which will be held from 5:30 to 11 p.m. on Saturday, April 14.

The one-night dance competition was designed five years ago to raise money for the George and Rebecca Barnes Foundation.

George and Rebecca Barnes represent European American business and reform families who were committed abolitionist organizers and Underground Railroad supporters and who used their resources to exert public pressure and to raise money for the cause.

Currently, the board of directors is raising funds and grants for a new roof on the mansion, according to Arlene Stewart, the event chair for DWTS Syracuse.

The mansion was built in 1853 and the roof is 100 years old, which is why “patch jobs” on the surface just won’t do anymore, Stewart said. The foundation is currently working with Crawford & Stearns Architects to get the plans underway for

“It’s just an attitude,” she said.

“You have more in common with them [ballroom dancers]. You just have a communication with these people.”

More than anything, the couple says the ballroom dance crowd in CNY is “friendly” and easy to get along with.

“You meet a lot of nice people,” Bill said.

Think you can’t dance?

“Oh yes you can,” Barb says. Just like she reminds me at our Dancing With Our Stars practice, “You can dance or you can dance.”

No matter what level you are on or if you have never danced to a beat in your life, Barb says anyone can dance, and you can choose how far you will go and how well you will do, depending on your dedication to practice.

She’ll tell you what you’re doing right and will show you, too. And if she likes your “hip action,” she will tell you so. (I have been practicing my hip action, and she took notice!)

Bob and Mary were shocked to learn they could maintain full control of this trust by remaining trustee and they had the ability to retain the right to change beneficiaries, timing, manner, and method of distribution, all the administrative provisions in the trust. The only caveat was, they had to agree they could never again access the principal.

Just like many other clients that walk through the attorney’s door, Bob and Mary expressed how they had worked their lifetime, built what they had, and they wanted to make sure it was protected from the government, nursing homes, lawsuits, and other predators.

They also indicated it was very important to remain in control and stay independent. They never want to become a burden to their children. So, in essence, they wanted to remain in complete control and have 100Â percent protection of their assets. They wanted to have their cake and eat it too. Lucky for them, there was a solution. The attorney reviewed the key estate planning issues to identify which were most important. After identifying their goals and objectives, he recommended an iPug Protection Trust.

An IPug trust is an irrevocable trust that, while is a separate legal entity, is not a separate taxable entity; it uses their Social Security number. The advantage is Bob and Mary can put their assets in the trust without any tax consequence and retain a favorable tax treatment after death that would not be available if they transferred the assets to their children during life. In addition, since it is an irrevocable trust, their assets are protected

Bob and Mary are a 75‑year-old couple who lived their life working hard and always saving a portion of what they earned. Fortunately for them, they are able to maintain a comfortable lifestyle in retirement. While not considered wealthy, their $500,000 of assets is sufficient to generate income, combined with their Social Security and pension, to ensure they remain independent.

They have three children, and are proud of their family. Not unlike most other families, however, it’s not perfect. Their oldest son, Bob Jr., is a doctor and married with four children. He is financially successful and has a strong family. Their middle child, Maria, is a school teacher and married to Jim, who was a very nice guy, but is on his third business. The businesses seem to work for a little while, but eventually fall apart. Their youngest child, George, is married but has no children. While diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, he shows no current symptoms, but understands later in life, it will appear.

Bob and Mary are not fond of George’s wife. George and his wife live paycheck to paycheck, and never really seem to be able to make ends meet, but they are happy.

Bob and Mary went to see an estate planning attorney. In their initial meeting, the attorney asked a simple question: What is it that

a much overdue repair.

Needless to say, I am very please to be a part of this fundraising effort to preserve history in the community.

And of course, it has been a lot fun!

When I was in middle school, I learned how to swing dance. So, you might think, “Hey, she already knows how to do this!” Well, guess again.

I learned how to one-step swing and my partner and I are dancing threestep swing. Views from my first few practices were most likely similar to those of scenes from Disney’s “Bambi.”

My professional partner, Bill Baltus-

nik of Hamilton, has been an excellent instructor. He and his wife, Barb, are featured on this month’s cover, and with good reason!

They are two incredible dancers who have been dancing for almost three times as I have been alive. Hands down, they have been dancing for a very long time, but their attitude on dance and life in general make them an absolute joy to be around.

We have been practicing twice a week since the very end of January and I have come leaps and bounds from where I began, according to Barb, of

course.

Her critiques on my “hip action” and how I can be better dancer are priceless. I take her advice to heart because she knows what she’s talking about!

She has also given me some great tips on dance shoes and dance apparel.

I am required to wear two costumes for the competition, and we are coming up with some excellent ideas.

We are withholding details because… well…Bill and I want to win! With that said, I cannot divulge what type of dance we are doing in addition to the

swing, so don’t try and ask!

I encourage everyone to read the cover story about Bill and Barb because they’re terrific people and I want you to read about their thoughts on how everyone can be a dancer!

Also, you will find details on the Dancing With Our Stars Syracuse event.

Wish us both luck as we practice and dance our hearts out!

• Keep stairs and steps well lit and free of objects. Good lighting is cheap insurance for safety in all traffic areas, especially stairs. Fasten any stair coverings securely. Keep a flashlight handy for poorly lit areas. Provide sturdy handrails.

• Be cautious around wet, slippery surfaces, which are often found in bathrooms. Keep rubber-backed or taped-down rugs on the floor. Use a non-skid mat or self-adhesive non-skid appliqués in the bathtub or shower and on the floor.

• Install grab bars in and out of the bathtub or shower. Have a grab bar system installed around the toilet for household members with disabilities.

• Sleepy people are more likely to trip over things. Make sure traffic lanes are free of clutter. Install night lights.

• Clothing can cause a fall. Reduce chances of falling by wearing shoes with pliable soles and low heels. Short garments or pants are safer to wear around the house than long dresses or robes.

Falls are the leading cause of injuries and accidental death for the elderly. You increase your risk of falls when you move about in the dark; when there is clutter in your home; when spills are not cleaned up; when you are sick, tired, rushed or emotionally upset; when you use drugs, prescription or otherwise; and when you use alcohol. Many accidents occur because someone has been careless, such as, standing on tables or chairs when changing a light bulb, or carrying a large load of laundry down stairs rather than making a couple of trips with small loads.

Check through the following suggestions to see if there are areas of improvement to make your home safer for you and your family.

• Use rugs with non-skid backing in places where they cannot be taped down, or simply nail them in place.

• Don't stretch electrical cords across rooms, and never run extension cords underneath a rug or carpet. Besides causing falls, they could overheat or fray and catch fire.

• Keep floors clear of toys, magazines, or other objects that may be cluttering them.

Prime Milestones

A love for the ages Couple who met as children celebrate 70th anniversary

By Sarah Hall If you ask Clark and Jean McHuron how they met, you’ll get two different stories.

“She claims that she came and stayed with my sister Helen, who passed away at 12,” Clark said. “She was in bed during that time, and Jean says she would come and play with her. I don’t remember Jean in that situation at all. She claims I threw snowballs at her. I deny that.”

Clark remembers meeting Jean later, when the two were older.

“I do remember that I had to chase off all of her suitors,” he said. “It wasn’t easy, but I was successful. She was a popular gal.”

The two grew up just a few houses apart on Chestnut Street in the village of North Syracuse during the Great Depression. They married on Feb. 28, 1942. At the end of this month, the pair will celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary.

So how does a couple, even one in which the husband and wife have known each other since childhood, stay married for seven decades?

“She frequently says I traveled a lot. Take that any way you want,” Clark said. “She gets a chuckle out of it, whoever she tells it to.”

Jokes aside, the secret to a long and happy marriage is no surprise — it’s love.

“We really love each other,” Jean always says, according to her daughter, Marjean Marciniak.

“She’s a very loving person,” Clark said of his wife, who wasn’t feeling well and couldn’t be interviewed for this story.

“If you ask her what she’s up to or how she feels, she’ll turn the conversation around within a few sentences so that the

focus is back on you. She’s always doing that.”

Clark said he couldn’t pinpoint the exact moment he knew Jean was “the one.”

“There isn’t an answer that I know of,” he said. “It wasn’t all of a sudden, boom! She was just… it.”

In the last 70 years, the couple has had four children (three boys and a girl), lived in such varied places as North Syracuse, Alaska, Washington state and California and traveled to New Zealand. Clark worked as a geologist while Jean taught, Submitted photos

cared for the children and undertook various volunteer projects, including an extensive effort to create and distribute teaching tools for the visually impaired worldwide.

“She’s always looking out to help somebody somewhere,” Clark said. “She’s a very intelligent gal. I liked that. I figured that would take care of my part, bolster me up. I think some of it rubbed off.”

Now in their 90s, the McHurons have settled in the Pacific Northwest. They have eight grandchildren and several great-grandchildren. They remain active in their community.

“We’ve had a good life together,” Clark said. “That doesn’t mean there wasn’t a bump here or there. There was the time I wrote a check for trip around the world, which was $2,500 back then, and forgot to put in the checkbook.

Bank of America called up, and said, ‘Jean, he’s done it again.’ That upset things tremendously. Of course, that’s when banking was a lot better, more personal. You’d never get that nowadays.”

Despite the tough times, Clark said he wouldn’t change a thing.

“I wouldn’t do a thing different,” he said.

“Sure, maybe there are some things that should have been done differently, but we don’t dwell on them. We’ve traveled well beyond them.”

Though this is a milestone anniversary, Clark and Jean won’t be commemorating the occasion with a big celebration.

“We’ve had many anniversary parties in this family,” Clark said. “This year, she decided she’d just as soon stay here and read the memoirs the kids and the relatives wrote about us instead of having a bash. She’d rather not have a get-together that required a big to-do when she could just read them right off

Prime advice

Tips for keeping safe on the internet How do you keep yourself secure on the internet?

Unfortunately, that is not a simple or straightforward answer, because like computers themselves, computer security is complex. Security now is about keeping private information private more than it is about anything else. The days of malicious viruses that randomly delete data or otherwise damage your system are pretty well over. Anybody with the skill to hack modern operating systems and the will to do so is looking for a payday, and the best way to accomplish that is by stealing banking or other personal information without the user knowing it has been stolen.

The first line of defense is to secure your personal computer against remote attacks. Some steps to take include: Keep your operating system up to date.

This ensures that any known security vulnerabilities that get fixed by the vendor (Microsoft or Apple) are also fixed on your machine. Many viruses continue to target vulnerabilities that have been fixed because their authors know that people don’t always apply updates. Both Windows and Mac OS X offer the ability to automatically check for updates and install them.

Install an antivirus/antispyware program.

Modern operating systems are much more protected against viruses than they used to be, but aren’t immune. There are many good programs out there

that offer many features in addition to simple antivirus that you may or may not want, so be sure to read reviews and get one that fits your budget and needs.

Also, just like with the operating system, make sure that automatic updates are turned on.

Next, follow some best practices when using the computer and internet.

Do not send critical personal information over email.

While that seems like common sense, people are tricked all the time by. One rule of thumb is that email is not secure, so anyone requesting personal data such as social security numbers, bank account numbers, passwords, etc. over email is probably just trying to steal them. Banks and others that rely on keeping your data safe will never ask for this kind of information in email.

Do not follow email links to any website that involves your money.

Knowing that savvy people will not send them personal data over email, some scammers will build fake websites that look like real banking websites and try to get you to log in to them by linking to the fakes in an email that looks real. Instead, create bookmarks in your browser and use those to log in.

Know what your antivirus program’s warnings look like, and ignore any purported antivirus notiSee Internet on page 9

Dancing

from page 2

Since Bill was a physical education major in college, he is definitely a teacher at heart. He learned how to play almost every sport so he could master it and teach it. The same goes for dancing.

He says having Barb at the Dancing With Our Stars practice is a definite plus.

“Barb gives the women’s point of view,” he said. “She sees things I don’t.”

Barb also has added pointers such as advice on costume selection and how sassy entrance for the swing dance should look and also the entrance for the other dance we will perform. (I say “other dance” because it is indeed a secret until the night of

competition!)

Shall we dance?

While Bill and Barb once attended up to four or five social dances each week and two in a day here and there, they have cut back since there are less to choose from.

No matter, they are sure to dance together as much as possible.

Barb says she enjoys the intimate relationship she and Bill share, not just as husband and wife, but as each other’s lifelong dance partners.

“Nowadays, a lot of dances… there’s a lot of jumping up and down and you never touch your partner,” she said. The lack of

touch cuts down on the connection and relationship you can develop with someone, according to Barb.

Although they know almost every step in the book when it comes to ballroom dance, they each have their favorites.

Those favorites change though.

“Right now it’s the Argentine Tango,” Barb said. “It used to be the Samba, but now I really like the Argentine Tango because I’ve learned more move.

This intimate and elegant dance allows you to be an actor or an actress, according to Barb.

feeling of the dance I enjoy…something new.”

For Bill, he is still on the Samba.

“It’s peppy and energetic,” he said. “It looks nice and you can travel across the floor. I like most dances.”

Bill mentioned he liked the Polka, and Barb chimed in, “Bill, you forgot the Twist.”

“Both of you like the Polka?” I asked.

“I didn’t say that!” Barb said.

OK, so they don’t both like the Polka, but they do like the Twist, and they love to dance with each other, no matter what style of the dance.

When they’re not cutting a rug, Bill is working as a volunteer driver for the Madison County Office for the Aging, or donating his 412th round of blood (lately it’s a platelets donation) to the American Red Cross.

The couple teaches ballroom dancing together for the Madison-Oneida BOCES where their students range from the high school age to their own age.

On the topic of age, Bill and Barb don’t look theirs.

I asked them if they thought their long-running dance career has kept them looking young, and Barb replied, “It could have something to do with it. You think younger.”

She added that when you’re choosing a costume you don’t necessarily think of your age, but rather, how you feel.

When they’re not involved in a dance competition like Dancing With Our Stars or planning to attend a social dance, they focus on visiting each of their five children who live in five different states: Darlee, Fairport, N.Y.; Lori Ann, Seattle, Wash.; Scott, Cleveland, Ohio; Gregg, Charlotte, N.C.; and Dione, who resides in Minneapolis, Minn.

Thanks to their kids, they enjoy visiting their eight grandchildren as well.

If you want to see Bill move like a dancer in his prime, check out details for the 2012 Dancing With Our Stars Syracuse edition on grbarnes.org.

Twin sisters Lynne Jones and Laurie Searles will be the Honorary Lead Team at this year’s Kidney Foundation of CNY Kidney Walk scheduled for April 29 at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo. Lynne and Laurie are celebrating the 25th anniversary of their kidney transplant this March. Twenty-five years ago, Lynne saved her sister’s life.

The Kidney Beans are led by captain Janine Howell, a sister of the twins. Many family and friends are joining the team as they hope to raise awareness and much needed funds for the screenings and educational programs provided by the NKF of CNY. The goal of this year’s Kidney Walk is to raise more than $75,000. To join the Kidney Beans’ team or form your own, visit cnykidney.org or call 476-0311.

fications that don’t look like that.

In the same vein as the fake bank sites are the fake antivirus warnings.

Clicking on them actually downloads and installs spyware to steal your information. When in doubt about whether a warning is real, start the antivirus program from the Start Menu or Dock rather than clicking the pop up notification.

Watch for other fraud.

There are many, many ways to steal information that are similar to the three items above. Any time something looks odd, just take a moment verify it is what it says. If it’s a warning that purports it is from some reputable institution, go to the source and check. If nothing else, do a Google search on it, and if it’s a scam, you should find out pretty quickly.

Pay attention to system warnings.

Both Windows 7 and Mac OS X will give you warnings when a program is trying to change something critical in the system. In both cases it will ask you to enter your password before it allows the program to continue. If you get one of these warnings and did not just try to install something, do not enter your password.

Use strong passwords, and use different ones for each site.

This really is critical. If your passwords can be easily guess by a machine with access to a dictionary, your information is not secure regardless of whether you do all the above or not. Strong passwords should be at least eight characters with both letters and numbers (and symbols if you can). There are also password keeping programs that will create strong passwords and remember them for you, so you only need to remember the one password that unlocks the software. As with antivirus, there are numerous vendors, shop around and read reviews before committing to a purchase if this kind of software interests you.

This is not a comprehensive list, but it will get you a long way towards being more secure. Microsoft publishes very comprehensive security information for lay users here: microsoft.com/protect/default.aspx.

Some prominent security software companies with good information for users are here: mcafee.com; symantec.com; sophos.com.

By Dina Lawson, RD, CDN National Nutrition Month is an annual nutrition education campaign sponsored by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (formally known as The American Dietetic Association). The campaign reminds people to practice healthy eating and activity habits.

‘Get Your Plate in Shape’ is the theme this year.

The promotion supports the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the USDA’s ‘My Plate’ initiative.

So before you eat, think about what you are putting on your plate! Try to include many foods from all the food groups. Here are some food group tips: Fill half your plate with fruits and vegetables. Eat a variety of veggies in different colors including dark green, red and orange. Be sure to add fruits to meals and snacks.

Eat at least half your grains from 100 percent whole-grain breads, cereals, pasta and

The next time you go to the hospital and receive care, make sure to ask one important question: “What is my status: Am I admitted to the hospital or am I under observation?” The answer to this question can mean a difference of thousands of dollars and who pays for future car – you or your insurance company.

A new trend has been for hospitals to care for patients who are not admitted, but are deemed to be in “observation status.” The use of observation status may be increasing because of new Medicare plans to reduce reimbursement rates for hospitals and high readmission rates. By putting patients in observation status, they are not counted as “admissions.” Your care may be the same, but there is one important difference – and that’s how the hospital gets paid

by Medicare. If you are admitted Medicare Part A will pay, but if not, Medicare Part B pays.

The distinction is an important one since observation status can lead to a denial of coverage for any subsequent discharge to a skilled nursing facility. A three day hospital stay is required for Medicare to cover any skilled nursing care, and that means you must be admitted to the hospital, not in observation status, for your nursing home care to be covered by Medicare. The Center for Medicare Advocacy recently filed a lawsuit against Medicare challenging the “observation status” that hospitals are using. The lawsuit charges that the observation status can lead to a denial of coverage when the patient needs skilled nursing care upon discharge. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) reports that there has been a dramatic increase in the use of observation status by hospitals in the past few years. Many Medicare beneficiaries are not aware of their status unless they inquire, so we urge all persons to ask if they are formally being admitted to the hospital.

In general, it’s important to know your rights as a hospital patient. Patients are informed of these rights when admitted, but since that is often a time of high stress it is best to know your rights ahead of any hospital stay. The NYS Department of Health has a 40 page booklet describing those rights that is worth the read, in fact State Wide was instrumental in passing the law that required the publication in order to empower patients. Copies can be printed from a link on State Wide’s website nysenior.org/wordpress/?pageid=18.

Do you know the real truth about hearing loss and hearing aids?

Here are some helpful answers to some of the most common myths about each.

Myth: If I had hearing loss, my family doctor would have told me.

Truth: Only 15 percent of doctors routinely screen for hearing loss during a physical exam. Even when a doctor does screen for hearing problems, the results may be suspect since most people with hearing problems hear pretty well in quiet environments – like a doctor’s office.

Without special training on hearing loss, it may be difficult for your family doctor to even realize you have a hearing problem.

Myth: Nothing can be done about my hearing loss.

Truth: People with hearing loss in one ear, with a high-frequency hearing loss, or with nerve damage may have been told by their family doctor that nothing can be done to help. Modern technology has changed that. Now, nearly 95 percent of people with hearing loss can be helped, most with hearing aids.

Myth: Only people with serious hearing loss need hearing aids.

Truth: Your lifestyle, your need for refined hearing and the degree of your hearing loss will determine whether you need a hearing aid. If you’re in a profession that relies on your ability to discern the nuances of human conversation – such as a lawyer, teacher or group psychotherapist – even mild hearing loss can interfere with your life.

Myth: Hearing aids are big and ugly.

Wearing one will make me look old or disabled.

Truth: Untreated hearing loss is far more

noticeable than today’s hearing aids. If you miss the punch line of a joke, or respond inappropriately to a comment or question, people may wonder about your mental capacity.

Hearing aid makers realize people are concerned about how they will look wearing a hearing aid. Today, you can find miniature hearing aids that fit totally within the ear canal or behind your ear, making them virtually invisible.

Myth: Hearing loss is an inevitable part of growing older and there’s nothing I can do to prevent it from happening to me.

Truth: You can take steps to prevent hearing loss. Noise is one of the most common causes of hearing loss; 10 million Americans have already suffered irreversible damage to their hearing from noise. Yet a third of all hearing loss could be prevented with proper ear protection.

Myth: I cannot afford hearing aids.

Truth: There is a wide price range in hearing aids on the market just like there is for other consumer products. There are also financing options available that can make purchasing hearing aids very affordable.

Myth: Hearing loss only affects the old, right?

Truth: Hearing loss affects all age groups.

Only 40 percent of people with hearing loss are older than 64. The largest age group with hearing loss is people between 18 and 64 – about 19 million people compared to 14 million at retirement age.

More than 1 million school-age children have hearing problems as well.

If you want to avoid hearing loss, it pays to know the truth behind the myths and the basics of hearing loss prevention.
