NORTH SOUTH

When my grandson, Jesse, andhis friend Heather, came totown, the reception was abig surprise and a treat!

Heather is marketing manager for a NewYork accounting firm who sets up programsin major cities across the country. Her com-pany scheduled her to visit Orlando whereshe would be staying and holding meetingsin a major motel. Her first surprise was onarrival when she found her living quarters forthe next few days was large enough to house80 people! Wow! The furnishings were alldone in a rose color. Such elegance tooksome getting used to—according to Heather.

Jesse took time off to come home forhis birthday. This is the year that he turned40! Jesse, a former Floridian who has livedin New York for the last fourteen years,

graduated from Mainland High, got his firstdegree at Florida State, and a master’s degreein City University of New York. He taughtschool in New York for several years beforegoing into the business of computer ani-mation. The family creative bent took overa couple years ago and he’s as animated asthe work in which he’s involved.

Family and friends have seen Jesse onceor twice a year throughout his time in NewYork but this year was special. He was intown for his big 40th birthday and what areception he received in Ormond Beach.There was a cookout with friends and fam-ily. Everything was decorated in the dreadedblack and white signs that always bring asmile when you reach that special day. It wasa day of great Florida sunshine, just beforethe rains came—and the food was delicious!

Now we are settled into May, watchingthe rains come down. A friend once said shedidn’t want to move to Florida because sheenjoyed the seasonal changes. Well, surprise,surprise—we do have seasonal changesdaily—which we all enjoy. ST

Irecently was asked to speak at a localCatholic Church. I learned that theCatholic Church had published guide-lines on Catholic beliefs regarding

health and end-of-life. I received a copy ofthe Florida Conference of Catholic Bish-ops’ approved form of health care surro-gate form and living will form.

The health care surrogate form stateswho can make medical decisions for onewho cannot make those decisions himselfor herself. The Catholic health care surro-gate form is the same as the Florida statutoryform, except for a statement about Catholicbeliefs on end-of-life. That statement refersto a “duty to preserve... life.”

As for the living will, the language isalso quite similar with one significant dis-tinction. The Florida statutory form pro-vides three choices of conditions one mightbe in to have life-prolonging procedureswithheld or withdrawn: terminal condition,end-stage condition, or persistent vegeta-tive state. The signer initials the paragraphsthat are applicable.

The Catholic form of living will is vir-tually identical, except that it omits per-sistent vegetative state as a condition. TheCatholic Bishops provide guidelines, as fol-lows: “There should be a presumption infavor of providing nutrition and hydrationto me, including medically assisted nutri-tion and hydration, unless: They cannotreasonably be expected to prolong my life;

or the means used to deliver the nutritionand hydration are excessively burdensomeand do not offer sufficient benefit or wouldcause me significant physical discomfort;

or I am imminently dying from an irre-versible condition.” Thus, the CatholicChurch approves removing life support,including nutrition and hydration, whenone is actually in the process of dying, butif a person is in a vegetative state, but notbeing kept alive by any machines, it wouldnot allow removal of nutrition and hydration.

The Catholic form does not have aHIPAA release, but otherwise is much likethe statutory form. If one signs the statu-tory form and wants to meet the Catholicteaching, one may choose not to initial per-sistent vegetative state.

by George Goldtrap

If you have been reading these columnsvery long, you know that Peg and Ioften try to outdo each other withour birthday surprises. This year was

no exception.My 76th birthday was Saturday, April

27th. Peg suggested we eat dinner at one ofour favorite restaurants and see a Cubsgame at the Jack. Nothing really unusualthere as we do both often.

Oddly, at the last minute, Peg decidedwe needed to forget about dinner and getto the Jack in plenty of time to find a goodseat. Strange, how long does it take to drivefrom Ormond Beach to downtown Daytona?

We arrived in time to see the tarps rolledup, the in-field raked, boxes painted, etc.Ever enthusiastic, Peg surveyed the seat-ing, insisting that we sit on the end, ‘so wecan get out easily’ she said. Why, I thought.Where are we going? I was soon to find out.

First, a little history. I spent almost 40years in various forms of broadcasting. Likemost I started as a DJ and moved throughthe ranks. I retired as executive producerof a nationally syndicated television pro-gram. There was, however, one area ofbroadcasting I never experienced—sports.The reason is simple; I was never a reallycommitted sportsman in the general senseof the word. I fished, played ping-pongand volleyball, and took my shots on theTV station's basketball team, but could Idefine myself as a sports guy? No. The mostconsistent sporting interest was baseball—and as I grew older—softball.

Peg also chose this night because fire-works were on the schedule. She said fire-works would look like candles on my cake.

Weird woman I married, but I knew that.We settled in our seats, sang the Anthem andheard, Play ball! I was in for a great evening.

At the end of the second inning Peg stoodand said, “Come with me.”

What? Where? I don't want to get up.“Come on, don't argue,” she cajoled.

I followed her to a public access areanear home plate. A nice young man whowas in on Peg's plan introduced himself.Peg turned to me and said:

“Happy Birthday, have fun!”Peg knew that my bucket list included

the desire to do play by play baseball forbroadcast. It was one of the few things Inever got to do during my broadcast career.I regretted not having done so—but I hadaccepted that it was never going happen. Yet,here I was, being led away into a dream.

The broadcast booth hangs (over homeplate), from the top of the stadium. Theclimb is steep and the view is awesome.Most broadcast booths are very small,accommodating two announcers, a shelfof equipment and room to get in the door.Once inside, I was welcomed by the CubsDirector of Broadcasting, Robbie Aaronwho put a headset on me and said, “Let's dosome play by play.” I was in radio heaven.

When the commercial was over we wentlive and he introduced me to the audienceas his guest. Between batters, (the Tigerswere up), we talked about assorted expe-riences, the Seniors Softball League; my

hometown team, the Nashville Vols andSulphur Dell, (the oldest continuously usedprofessional playing field in Americanbaseball history).

The Vols announcer was Larry Munsonwho went on to call play by play for theAtlanta Braves in the National League andof course the Georgia Bulldogs football.What great fun to rub elbows with the pros,enjoy a panoramic view of Jackie Robin-son field, and watch super talented play-ers give it their all for the home team.

Robbie pointed to his line-up and ref-erence card and said, “Why don't you takethis inning.” I was muddling through it whenthe Tiger at bat hit a monster over the leftfield wall. I followed the ball with a fewcomments as it ended up bouncing aroundthe parking lot outside the park. We con-tinued play by play on a few more battersuntil the Tigers were out. We shot a fewpictures, and generally chatted about whata great experience I was having—and thatthis would go down as one of the best ofPeg's birthday surprises. One bummer—the Cubs lost 5 to 1.

How did Peg do it? Persistence. She hadtried to make this happen for a couple ofyears, but gave up when she didn't get re-sponses. This year, she decided that noth-ing would stop her. It took several e-mailsand several weeks of patience, persistence,and pestering until she made the rightcontact. After that, it was a piece of cake.

Scratch baseball play by play from mybucket list—thanks to my Don’t Take NoFor An Answer Wife.

Watching the Cubs play professionalbaseball is a great, and inexpensive, familynight out. The entertainment never stops—not even between innings.

The crowd loves their Cubs and Cubbythe mascot. No one is afraid to cheer oranti-cheer; strong opinions are sanctioned.There are giveaways and coupons, food, fun,peanuts, and popcorn. Some of the minorleague players we support are destined tobe major league stars of tomorrow, all thisin a ball park loaded with Jackie Robinsonhistory. What a fun evening—I’m tellingeveryone I know about it—including you.

Every year since 1963, May hasbeen the month to appreciateand celebrate the vitality andaspirations of older adults and

their contributions and achievements.It is a proud tradition that shows ournation’s commitment to honor the valuethat elders continue to contribute to ourcommunities.

A meeting with the Na-tional Council of SeniorCitizens resulted in Presi-dent John F. Kennedy des-ignating May 1963 as SeniorCitizens Month, encourag-ing the nation to pay trib-ute to older people acrossthe country.

In 1980, President Jimmy Carter'sproclamation changed the name to OlderAmericans Month, a time to celebratethose 65 and older through ceremonies,events, and public recognition.

This year’s Older Americans Monththeme—Unleash The Power Of Age!—emphasizes the important role of olderadults. This May, communities acrossthe nation will recognize older Amer-

icans as productive, active, and influ-ential members of society.

Older Americans Month celebrationsacknowledge the value that older adultscontinue to bring to our communitiesby making an effort to applaud recentachievements of local elders and invit-ing them to share the activities they doto unleash the power of age.

Every older American has a wealthof talents, experiences, and interests worthcelebrating. Find a way to unleash thepower of your age! Throughout themonth of May, look for opportunities toshow the vibrant life that you and yourfellow older Americans lead. ST

Benefits Of Napping

I’ve never been much of a nap-per, but a quick afternoonsnooze has become more ap-pealing as I have grown older.

There have been some recent studiesto suggest that an afternoon refreshercan be beneficial to one’s health.

The idea of adult naps has gottenthe attention of researchers. It seemsthat sleep at anytime of the day releasesthe stress of everyday life. Sleep aidsin reducing blood pressure and slow-ing heart rate. Sleep also boosts theimmune system responses which guard

against certain disease conditions. Re-searchers believe that midday nappingallows the body to reset its’ heart rateand blood pressure.

A study conducted by the HarvardSchool of Public Health found that men

who took regular 30 minute naps were37 percent less likely to die of heart dis-ease than those who did not sleep in themidday. Of course, diet and other life-style factors also influence the risk ofheart disease. Regular napping seemsto improve the odds.

Other studies suggest that a quick napin the afternoon invigorates the body.Some corporations are beginning to re-cognize the benefits of the 15 minutesnooze, citing that employees are invig-orated and show increased creativity.

Next time you feel like taking a quicksnooze, go ahead. You’ll feel refreshedand may even be a bit healthier. ST

Last week, Halifax Humane Soci-ety celebrated the graduation ofthe 17th class of Prison Pups NPals. To date, over 125 dogs have

completed the training program, whichhas boasts a 100 percent adoption rate.

In the Prison Pups N Pals program, Hal-ifax Humane Society works alongside theWest Volusia Kennel Club and inmates at theTomoka Correctional Institute. Inmates learndog obedience training techniques from theprofessional trainers at the West VolusiaKennel Club and train their selected dog.

The program serves a dual purpose thatleads to positive futures for both the inmates

and the dogs. The dogs receive obediencetraining that increases their adoptability andprepares them for life in a new forever home.Meanwhile, the inmates are educated on ani-mal care and proper training methods, help-ing them gain skills that could lead them tojobs in animal services in the future.

While in the program, the dogs learn allbasic commands and some unique tricks aswell. By the time each dog finishes the pro-gram, it is highly trained, obedient, house-broken, spayed/neutered, up-to-date on vac-cinations, and micro-chipped. Prison Pupsmake great pets for any family, as their train-ing eases the transition into a new home.After adopting a Prison Pup, new owners

receive a free seven-week obedience-train-ing program, further easing the transition toa new home.

Last year, the Department of VeteransAffairs joined the program to create Pawsof Freedom, an addition to Prison Pups NPals. Each class of Prison Pups now has twodogs selected to stay for an additional sevenweeks of training in order to become a com-panion dog for a veteran. These dogs helpowners that may be suffering from post-trau-matic stress disorder (PTSD), and help pro-vide them with emotional support.

To learn more about Prison Pups N Pals,visit www.halifaxhumanesociety.org/ppnp.html or the Pups N Pals Facebook page.

Dog Obedience Training Available At HHS

Even if your dog is not a Prison Pup, youcan still teach them the same obediencecommands with Halifax Humane Society’sgroup classes. HHS offers an entire four-week course for only $35 for dogs adoptedfrom the shelter, and $45 for other dogs.Classes are currently offered on Saturdays.Dogs must be current on immunizations, andowners must bring a collar, six-foot leash,and treats for their dog to each session.

who are in need. They have recentlybeen called upon to help with 330 localveterans who will be deployed in the nextfew months with providing calling cardsto each of them. So far they have beenable to purchase approximately 200 cardsbut need donations for the rest. TheFLVRF is appealing to the communityto help out and the deadline for dona-tions is May 24.

The International Long Distance Call-ing Card Program was launched to pro-vide veterans with international callingcards to call home. These hero's have hadan extended time away from home andsometimes need to hear a familiar voicefrom back home.

When you get near the end of a rollof paper towels, save it to put in yourcar. Put together a kit to keep in the carwith the following items: a small bot-tle of Windex or other cleaner, a squeezebottle of water, some wet wipes, andthe short roll of paper towels. You'llalways be ready for a quick on-the-road cleanup.

To kick the itch from bug bites, makea mixture of half lime juice and half

water. Apply to bug bites on a soakedcotton ball.

When you finish a woodworking pro-ject, save your leftover bits of sandpa-per and use them to sharpen all yourscissors. All you need is a piece longenough to cut through few times. ST

Here’s An Idea

May 10, 2013—Seniors Today—Page B-3

by Sam Mazzotta

Dear Paw’s Corner: My vet tells memy dogs have to be tested for heartwormevery two years, even though they takeheartworm medication regularly. Why?It's expensive—one test times three—and I don't see why it's necessary. Seemslike a way for the vet to make money.

—Dog Mom in New York

Dear Dog Mom: It's a valid question,but there really is a good answer for whythe veterinarian insists on testing yourdogs for heartworm.

The reason is that monthly heart-worm medications, while billed as pre-ventative, work by killing off the micro-filariae (heartworm larvae) that entera dog's bloodstream through an infectedmosquito's bite. The medication doesn'tstop mosquitoes from biting your dog;therefore, there's still a risk of heart-worm infection even though it is takingpreventive medication.

The other reason is that the doctorcan't be 100 percent sure that your dogsare taking their heartworm medicationevery month. He doesn't administer the

medicine, so—while you probably aregiving your dogs their monthly dosageright on schedule—he can't take yourword for it. That's because, as you know,there are some pet owners who don'tgive pets their heartworm preventive onthe right schedule.

To reduce the number of heartworminfections, and keep your dogs healthy,the vet has to check them regularly. Hedoes it every two years because it cantake several months for an infection tobe detected. Some vets test for infectionevery year, particularly in regions witha high infection risk.

What if the vet detects a heartworminfection? He'll treat your dog with amuch stronger medication to kill theheartworms. The healthier your dog iswhen treatment starts, the better it willbe able to tolerate the treatment. ST

Only in recent years do I feel Ihave begun to understand God’splan for man and it all startedwhen I really paid attention to

John 3:16—probably the best known versein the Bible. It says, “For God so lovedthat He gave His only Son that whosoeverbelieves in Him should not perish, but haveeverlasting life.”

It does not say that God will send anyoneto hell for not believing. It does say thosewho do not believe in and follow Christ willperish. Perish means ‘to wither away’ or ‘todie from lack of nourishment.’ Anyone try-ing to live without Christ-dies from theinside out. He is God’s ‘soul food’ for thehuman race.

Jesus further explained this in His para-ble of the vine and branches. He is the vinein which is found all the food of God andHe explained the way to access it is to letyourself be engrafted into Him. He didn’tjust say a few could be engrafted. He saidHe wanted all of us to be His branches.“Whosoever will may come.”

A tongue-tied cowboy was hung overfrom a night of revelry and sleeping undera large wagon when Jesus walked up andsaid, “ Brother Bud Robinson, I want youto preach my gospel for all to hear.” UncleBud answered, “I’m in no shape right now,Lord, but I’ll be sure to go at it the firstthing tomorrow.”

He did. He came to our church manytimes for revivals. He always had a fullhouse. All the time he was speaking, peo-ple were either laughing and praising Godor crying and praising God. He made a per-manent impression on me when I was kneehigh. He taught me the meaning of twophrases: the power of God and the anoint-ing of God.

I tell you this story so that you will knowthe Spirit of Jesus Christ will forever beavailable to you and that God can bringabout equally beautiful results in your ownlife by tapping into the vine. So ask Him toengraft you into His vine.

If anything can be more simple than thatI don’t know what it is. ST

Journal…by Dalton Roberts

Social Security checks are a thingof the past. All Social Securitybenefits are paid electroni-cally or with a Direct Express

debit card.If you’ve signed up since May 2011,

whether for Social Security, governmentpension or veterans benefits, you’ve beenrequired to use the new system. If yousigned up before that and are still re-ceiving checks, you need to make achange—quickly.

A big reason for the switch is thatpaper checks aren’t as safe as electronicpayments. Checks can be stolen out ofyour mailbox, or before they even getthat far. That’s not to say electronic pay-ments are foolproof. If you become thevictim of identity theft, scammers canget into your account and have paymentsto you sent elsewhere. (Remember thatno one from Social Security will evercall you to ask for your banking infor-mation or Social Security number. Ifthat happens, report it to the fraud hot-line at 1-800-269-0271.)

If you don’t want direct deposit toyour bank, you can sign up to receive aDirect Express card. The benefit amountis added to your card, which you canthen use to pay bills, get cash, makepurchases, and more. Most card-relatedactivities are free, but some transac-tions do incur a fee.

Your best bet is to go ahead and signup for electronic payments. To get started,call Social Security at 1-800-333-1795or go to your own bank. Online, go towww.GoDirect.org Either way, you’llneed the following information in hand:—Your Social Security number—The amount of your most recent

benefit check, as well as that 12-digit check number

—Your bank’s routing transit numberand the account type. STMatilda Charles regrets that she can-

not personally answer reader questions,but will incorporate them into her col-umn whenever possible. Write to herin care of King Features Weekly Ser-vice, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL32853-6475, or send e-mail to [email protected]

Social Security Is Checkless


Iwas warned many years ago thatit would happen one day, but I didnot pay any attention to what I wasbeing told. It will slip up on you

and catch you unaware, one person toldme. Another said it would change mylife forever.

Well, over the last year I have under-stood what I had been warned about,and they were right. Growing old is adifficult process. It takes a lot out ofyou. Your memory is not as good as itonce was and, sadly, this is the timeyou would like it to work the best.

For me it is not the aches and painsthat are distressing, it is the fact that Iam growing old. I was recently tellinga story about someone from the past andinadvertently made the statement, “hewas an older guy in his early 60s.” Itslipped right out before I even realizedwhat I had said. Early 60s is not old, Ithought, as I tried to regroup my story.It was too late, I had already admittedto myself that I was an old man. Evenworse, I had admitted it to someoneelse that I thought 60 was the age atwhich you passed into old age.

I realized I am at the age all of myaunts and uncles were when I was grow-ing up. They seemed so old to me at the

time, and that scares me. I should haverealized before now that it was coming,because I had already started sayingthings like, “remember when US 90was a two-lane highway,” or remem-ber the ice plant.

Think about it, something that nolonger exists but existed 50 years ago,I know about. That means a half a cen-tury ago. When you say it like that, itsounds like a long time ago.

I have always compared time towaves on a beach. They are continu-ous and unstoppable, and so is time. Ijust did not realize how quickly it wouldcome. There have been many a wavein my life; some were easy and somewere difficult. For now they are stillcoming and I am grateful for that, as Iam for all the blessings I have been ableto encounter. Uncle Marcus was sureright, however, when he said growingold was not for the faint of heart. ST

Turtle Nesting Season Starts EarlySpecial to Seniors Today

Sea turtle nesting season has begunin Volusia County and that meanshundreds of sea turtles will beemerging from the surf to lay eggs

on the beach in the next few months. Seaturtle nesting season is the time of yearwhen female sea turtles leave the ocean,usually at night, to lay eggs in the sand onthe beach. Nests will hatch through Octo-ber. Visitors to Volusia County beaches andresidential and business owners along thecoast are encouraged to be proactive to en-sure a productive nesting season.

The egg hatching period is about 48–60days after each nest is laid. The 2012 sea-son saw a record high with 919 nests laidon county beaches, of those, 885 wereloggerhead nests. The county’s average isaround 480 sea turtle nests per season.

There are many ways to help sea tur-tles, beach wildlife, and the coastal envi-ronment, such as:

• Disposing of trash and recyclables inthe proper containers. Trash can cause entan-glement and ingestion problems for a lotof wildlife including sea turtles. • If you ever see a sea turtle nesting or anest hatching, stand far back and observequietly. Sea turtles are protected with stateand federal laws and should not be harassed.Lights, quick movements, and loud voicescan deter nesting activity.

• When driving at the beach use the des-ignated traffic lanes. Beach driving accesshours are from 8 A.M.–7 P.M. for the sea-son, tide permitting.

• When leaving the beach, make sureto take all of your beach equipment. Flat-ten sandcastles and fill your holes.

Property owners and businesses, as wellas visitors to the beach, also are remindedto keep lights off the beach. The lights candiscourage female turtles from nesting andcan cause hatchlings to become disoriented.

Property owners along the coast shouldmake sure their light fixtures are positioned,shielded, or modified so the light source andany reflective surfaces of the fixture are notvisible by a person standing on the beach. Italso is important to eliminate the effect ofinterior lights shining through doors andwindows onto the beach.

There are several ways to reduce theamount of light coming from inside a homeor business including moving lamps andother moveable fixtures away from win-dows, using blinds and curtains to blocklights, and turning off unnecessary lights.Property owners should recheck their light-ing every year. The beach elevation changesfrequently and lights that were in compli-ance previously may need to be adjustedaccording to the new environment. ST

98 Year-Old Skydiver Jumps AtChance To Support Cause


by Donna MaitlandSocial Security Manager in Port Orange

Think of all the times and ways thatMom has helped you over theyears—when you were a child,and after you became an adult.

With Mother’s Day upon us, it is a good timeto pay Mom back with a little extra helpwith her Medicare prescription drug costs.

If your mother is covered by Medicareand has limited income and resources, shemay be eligible for Extra Help—availablethrough Social Security—to pay part ofher monthly premiums, annual deductibles,and prescription co-payments. The ExtraHelp is estimated to be worth about $4,000per year.

That means putting $4,000 in Mom’spocket without having to spend a dime!

To figure out whether your mother iseligible, Social Security needs to know herincome and the value of her savings, invest-ments, and real estate (other than the homeshe lives in). To qualify for the extra help,she must be receiving Medicare and have:• Income limited to $17,235 for an indi-

vidual or $23,265 for a married coupleliving together. Even if her annual incomeis higher, she still may be able to get somehelp with monthly premiums, annualdeductibles, and prescription co-pay-ments. Some examples where incomemay be higher include if she and, ifmarried, her spouse:

• Support other family members who live with them;

• Have earnings from work; or• Live in Alaska or Hawaii.

• Resources limited to $13,300 for an in-dividual or $26,580 for a married cou-ple living together. Resources include suchthings as bank accounts, stocks, andbonds. We do not count her house orcar as a resource.Social Security has an easy-to-use online

application that you can help complete foryour mom. You can find it at www.socialsecurity.gov/prescriptionhelp To apply byphone or have an application mailed to you,call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY1-800-325-0778) and ask for the Applica-tion for Help with Medicare PrescriptionDrug Plan Costs (SSA-1020). Or go to thenearest Social Security office. Find theSocial Security office nearest you by usingour online office locator. You’ll find it atthe bottom of the Popular Services sectionat www.socialsecurity.gov

Mom has always been there to help you.She’s sure to appreciate a little extra helpthis Mother’s Day—especially if you canshow her how to put $4,000 in her pocket!Keep in mind as Father’s Day approaches,you can get the same free gift for Dad! ST

No more delays. We wriggled intothe family car by arrangingassorted arms and legs aroundthe belongings of our older son

Ian, the almost-college student. He placedone last bag on my lap, crammed himselfinto an impossibly small space in the backseat next to his brother Tom, and the fourof us were off.

We had triumphed over the challengemany parents face at the beginning of acollege school year: fitting an infinite num-ber of items into the finite space of a car.

Although we all felt achy by the end ofthe trip, Ian was so thrilled to be starting hisnew life, he never complained. Tom, real-izing he wouldn't have to share a darn thinguntil Ian came home for Thanksgiving, wasequally cheerful during the six-hour ride.

So much for lingering farewells at thedorm. It was obvious Ian itched for us toleave. We gave him a big hug and left.

I was stoic on the trip home. I dissolvedat the sight of Ian's quilt, left in the hallway.My firstborn was gone.

For several weeks, I busied myself withmy job and family affairs. November came,and Ian arrived for his first vacation. It wasa joy until he left, and then my blues startedagain. Nothing made me feel better.

It was only when we cleaned out Ian'sdorm room at the end of the school yearthat I faced reality: Neatly stacked in onecorner, from ceiling to floor, were all theempty boxes from the goodies I had sent.The sculpture testified to a mom's love—and provided an on-going source of amuse-ment to Ian and his friends. Some placedbets on how high the stack would reach.

Four years later, Tom left for college. Iknew women who collapsed into emotionaldownslides after their last child left homeand worried I'd be among them.

Even before we deposited Tom, I feltnumb. Something happened after we leftthe dorm. My husband and I got out themap to decide the return route we'd take.Then it hit me: It didn't matter how longwe took getting home.

Of course I miss my sons. They are thebiggest blessings in my life. This new chap-ter must be embraced, not dreaded. I see apath filled with opportunities I never imag-ined. A menu overflowing with choices.

Now, what should I do first? ST

Many chronic illnesses may belinked to sources of stressand lifestyle decisions. Eitherway how we have chosen to

deal with the effects is clearly not workingin this country. The United States ranks asthe 39th sickest out of 41 industrial nationsand we take about 70 percent of the entireworlds prescription drugs—but we onlymake up seven percent of the worlds pop-ulation. Most drugs will not heal the patient,it only mask the much needed signals ourbodies are giving us to pin point the problem.

A study done by Dr. Blanks at the Uni-versity of California College of Medicinefollowed 2,818 patients receiving continu-ous chiropractic adjustments reported an en-hancement in their physical health, increasedability to deal with stress, increase in con-fidence wellbeing, and enjoyment of life.

Beloved Irish author MaeveBinchy finished the manu-script for A Week In Winterdays before she died in July

after a brief illness. Her final novel, pub-lished posthumously, shows Binchy atthe top of her writing game. Set in asmall, fictional Irish coastal town whereeveryone knows each other, Binchyintroduces us to a plucky, resourcefulmiddle-aged woman named ChickyRyan, who works tirelessly to fulfill herlifelong dream to buy the decayingStone House mansion and build it intoa holiday resort.

To mark the resort's opening, Chickyadvertises a special deal—a week inwinter on the west coast of Ireland. Thefirst group of guests starts to arrive, andwe learn all of them have different rea-sons for staying there. They include:

An American movie star who missesa connecting flight and decides to takea brief holiday in Ireland. He wrong-fully assumes he is incognito since hisfellow guests don't make a huge fussover him;

A retired schoolteacher who exudesnegativity with each breath she takes,and criticizes everything and everyoneshe encounters;

A young Swede, who must decidewhether to head the family businessor follow his heart;

A mother and would-be daughter-in-law who have been forced into takinga vacation together, with all the tensionand uneasiness that implies;

A married couple, both doctors, whofind themselves at a spiritual and pro-fessional crossroads, having witnessedfar too much sickness and death.

Binchy writes beautifully about theimportance of community and of peoplebeing restored to life, especially aftertheir dreams and plans fail or whentheir worries and fears consume them.A Week In Winter is a bittersweet readfor Binchy fans, many of whom willsavor her final book and lament all ofher untold stories. A literary treasure inthe truest sense, Ms. Binchy will bemissed. ST

Tired Of Retirement?

by Samantha Weaver

It was pioneering science-fictionauthor H.G. Wells who made the fol-lowing sage observation: “Moral indig-nation is jealousy with a halo.”

In a match between a 200-poundmountain lion and a 20-pound porcu-pine, the lion is likely to be the loser—and will probably die if it tried totake a bite of the desired prey.

In an odd coincidence, PresidentAbraham Lincoln had a secretarynamed Kennedy, and President JohnF. Kennedy had a secretary named Lin-coln. Kennedy the secretary told Lin-coln the president that he shouldn't goto Ford's Theatre the night he was shot;Lincoln the secretary tried to convinceKennedy the president not to go on atrip to Dallas, where he was shot.

Those who study such things say thatAmericans watch more television dur-ing the months of January and Februarythan at any other time during the year.

Strawberries have more vitamin Cthan oranges.

Thought For The Day: “The fun-damental cause of trouble in this worldis that the stupid are cocksure whilethe intelligent are full of doubt.” ST
