One of the most fascinating en-tries available on our comput-ers today is American CulturalHistory. Some very interesting

information began at the turn of the century:1900-1909

Progressive education became very im-portant. The first elementary school wasfounded and new teacher methods imple-mented. The education of teachers and theact of testing became more important. An-nual teacher pay: $325. The population ofthe 46 states by the end of the decade was76,000,000. There were 8,000 cars in usewith only 10 miles of paved roads; aver-age workers made $12.98 a week for a 59hour work week; life expectancy was 47years for females, 46 for males.

1910-1919This was the decade when the United

States became known as a world leader.Problems faced were very similar to thosewe face today. For example the escalationof poverty, labor, and monopoly, work safety,and child labor. The war to end all wars,WWI raged while American became of age.The average salary was $750 per year;population was up to 92,407,000; millionsattended movies each week; life expectancywas 51 years for females and 48 for males.

1920-1929This decade was a period of marathons,

games, flagpole sittings, jazz, and slang...dubbed the Roaring 20s. 1921 was the firstyear of the Miss America contest, held inAtlantic City and won by a 16-year-old.There were 106,521,537 people now in theUnited States; The average salary was$1,236 annually, teachers salaries $970; lifeexpectancy was 54 for females, 53 for males.

1930-1939Following the Depression, money was

scarce. Forever after, those years were re-ferred to but not discussed within the family‚just mentioned as during the Depression.People worked hard at trying to make ahappy life for themselves and family. Unem-ployment rose to 25 percent. Movies andparlor games were quite popular. The pres-ident, Franklin D. Roosevelt, held firesidechats‚ and entire families gathered aroundthe radio to hear what he had to say. There

were 123,188,000 living in the 48 states;average salary $1,368; average age forfemales 61and 58 for males.

1940-1949Dominated by World War II. Europeans

fled from Hitler and the Holocaust to theUnited States bringing new ideas created indisillusionment. Women replaced men whowere serving our country. The Great De-pression ended as production in support ofthe war began. For the first time, womenwere hired in the workplace. Everythingwas rationed, from sugar to gas. After thewar, the men returned. Having seen the restof the world, ideals rapidly changed. Moremen got a college education under The GIBill. Women had tasted independence buthad to give up their jobs to the returningmen. The cold war began. 132,122,000 nowlived in the United States; the average salarywas $1,299. For teachers $1,441 femaleslived an average of 68 years and 60 yearsfor males.

1950-1959Returning servicemen from WWII were

reluctant to discuss their war years andquietly renewed their lives and started fam-ilies. New industry, new jobs, new homes,new cars, and the Baby Boomers were born.Bomb shelters were planned. It was a timeof growth and joy with a tinge of fear. Pop-ulation was 151,684,000 in the U.S.; the laborforce was 5 to 2 (male/female). Averagesalary $2,992; average age expected forfemales 71 and for males 65.

Arevocable trust does not avoidprobate unless it is “funded”.“Funding” means naming thetrust as owner or naming the

trust as beneficiary so assets pass automat-ically to the trust upon death. Any assetnot in the trust or passing automatically tothe trust upon death will require probate.When the Grantor dies, the successor trusteedistributes the assets to the beneficiarieswithout probate court involvement.

Non-retirement bank accounts and brok-erage accounts are transferred to the trustwhile the grantor is alive by changing thename on the account to the name of the trust,or naming the trust as beneficiary, whichbanks call “payable on death” or “POD”and brokerages call “transfer on death”or “TOD”.

It is not possible to change the name ona retirement account (IRA, 401K, etc.) toa trust. However, the Grantor can name atrust as beneficiary. Generally, a marriedperson who intends to leave everything to theGrantor’s spouse would name the spouseas the primary beneficiary and name thetrust as alternate or contingent beneficiary.

Sometimes people name their childrenas beneficiaries of accounts instead of nam-ing their trust. This avoids probate as to thatasset. However, if the trust provides thatthe share of a deceased beneficiary goesto the beneficiary’s children, the grantor

should name the trust as beneficiary sothat wish is fulfilled if the child predeceasesthe Grantor. Naming individuals as benefi-ciaries normally results in the asset passingonly to the surviving beneficiaries namedon the account.

Personal property, such as furniture, jew-elry, and similar items without certificatesof title are generally placed into the trustby a Bill of Sale, reserving a life estate tothe Grantor. Real estate is transferred to atrust by signing and recording a deed. Forhomestead property, we use a unique typeof life estate deed, in order to preserve theasset protection aspects of homestead. Inter-ests in companies are generally passed toa trust by assignments, which might reservea life estate.

If a revocable trust is not funded with allassets, the grantor has wasted time andmoney in creating it because it does notaccomplish its purpose.

Do you need abreakfromyourCaregiving?

by Peggy Goldtrap

From 3rd grade to 7th, I lived in a‘socialist’ community. The Czarwas the multi-national chemicalcorporation, DuPont in Old Hick-

ory Village, Tennessee.The Village was a unique community

built and owned by DuPont. In 1918 thecompany bought thousands of acres of farm-land in a bend of the Cumberland Rivernear Nashville. Within months the largestgunpowder plant in the world stood wherecows once grazed. DuPont employed thou-sands, built roads, bridges, rails, buildings,infirmaries, offices, dormitories, powerplants, and The Village. The Powder Plantis an American construction and engineer-ing legend. At WWI’s end, DuPont sold itsinterests to private investors. The Villagedesigned for transients rapidly decayed.

Years later, DuPont returned as Land-lord. A new plant was constructed and TheVillage completely rehabilitated with thewell-being of workers in mind.

Few businesses were privately owned.The grocery stores, pharmacies, medicaloffices, parks, recreation, maintenance,swimming pool, Library, fire, and police;everything either belonged or was underoversight of DuPont.

Homes were as-signed according tojob position, so it waseasy to spot the suc-cessful. Social classeswere segregated bystreet address.

Executives lived onprestigious RiversideDrive, with Cumber-land River views. Had-ley Boulevard was thedemarcation between haves and have-nots.

Across the railroad tracks, The BlackVillage had its own markets, schools, sportsfields, churches, and gardens. Though seg-regated, the same rules applied: loyaltyequaled reward.

No one was allowed to paint their homea different color, change their roof, alterdoors, or add a room. The perfection pre-sented visual serenity, but stifled creativity.Homes didn’t belong to residents. Thecompany could literally say: ‘You didn’tbuild that.’

Were there advantages to this regimentedlifestyle? Yes. There were no slums; nogarbage on streets; no untended publicbuilding, no bugs in homes or bats in attics,no homelessness, vagrancy; public rebellion,vandalism, or looting. Life was good andfair as determined by the company.

Though much was idyllic, I hated thesameness of the streets, the monochromaticmelancholy of every home; the ennui ofenforced perfection.

Big Brother was always watching. Any-thing ‘wayward’ a child did was a reflec-tion on home and could jeopardize a parent’sjob. ‘Keep your guard up.’ Don’t say any-thing that could get your family in trouble.The opposite was also true: a child whoexcelled in talent or genius was reflected

on the home and by association, DuPont.Workers didn’t criticize the company inpublic or they risked losing their homealong with their job. I didn’t like feelingresponsible for my father’s job or my par-ent’s reputation or literally, our home.

As positive as the Village was, it createda softness of ambition. The people couldrely on the company as long as they did notchallenge the symbiotic relationship.

DuPont had the power, and balanced itsgoals with basic needs of employees. Peo-ple enjoyed a higher standard of living andthe company reaped profits.

Is 1940s regimentation appealing in2012? Politicians appear to be tearing apage from the DuPont Playbook. Vote forme (insert candidate) and I’ll give you (yourdesire). What happens when and if thedream becomes a nightmare?

Rosy promises, good intentions, hopeand exchange? The more security we seek,the more freedom we trade. The more wefear, the less we question. Whose wealthprimes the well? Whose cup cries to be fil-led? Whose hand controls the waters of life?

Life in a ‘socialist’ environment shapedmy thinking. I can understand the allure oforganization, predictability, and a guaran-teed quality of life, but the downside is ster-ile thinking, strangled questioning, fear oflosing home, and benefits.

It’s fun to stroll memory lane, remem-bering childhood, revisiting questions asked,and lessons learned in The Village. ST

As with most crimes, purse-snatch-ing is a crime of opportunity.Criminals are attracted to tar-gets that are easy and inviting.

Your best defense is to take steps to makeyour property uninviting to criminals. Inother words, the harder you make it, the lesslikely you are to become a crime victim.

You can minimize your chances of be -coming a purse snatching victim by fol-lowing a few simple precautions:• Don’t carry a shoulder bag over your

shoulder. This makes it easier for a thiefto grab your bag, knock you down andinjure you. Don’t walk with your pursedangling or wrap the strap around yourshoulder, neck or wrist. A strong tugfrom a thief could injure you. If some-one does grab your purse, it’s best tolet it go without a struggle. The conse-quences of a fall may be more costlythan losing your purse.

• The best place for your purse is tuckedunder an arm in front of you. Shortenthe strap on your purse so you can carryit tightly between your elbow and body.

• “Fanny packs” are a safe alternative tothe traditional purse. They’re worn tightand close to the body, making themharder to grab.

• Shop with a friend. You’re safer whenyou’re not alone.

• Don’t carry large sums of money, valu-able jewelry, or all of your credit cardsin your purse. Instead, carry only what

you need for the day. This includes onecheck instead of the whole checkbook.

• Don’t leave your purse in shopping cartsor on counters—even for a moment. Youshould also avoid hanging the pursefrom the back of a chair when in arestaurant or leaving it in a changingroom when in a clothing store.

• Don’t put your name and address onyour house keys or car keys. This is away of telling a thief who you are andwhere you live.

• If you carry pepper spray or mace sprayfor self defense, have it on your key chainwhere it’s readily available. Carry the keychain in a pocket, not in your purse. Photocopy both sides of the important

contents of your purse such as credit cards,and driver’s license. Store the copies in asafe place at home. Should your purse getstolen, you’ll have a record of your accountnumbers and whom to notify about them.

While nothing is foolproof, common-sense precautions will greatly reduce yourchances of becoming a victim of a pursesnatching. Practicing these safety tips willact as a deterrent to purse snatchers andincrease the likelihood that thieves will passyou by and move on to an easier mark. ST

Part 5 on our series of Medicaid Application Tips

You may know a senior citi-zen, or perhaps you are asenior, who will soon goto a long-term care facility.

Perhaps you are already a resident ofa facility. To keep from draining yourlife savings, you apply for Medicaidassistance.

In many cases, this application is doneby a person without proper training inlegal documents and long-term carefinancial strategies. That could spell dis-aster for the applicant. Here is why:

Important financial and legal infor-mation is left out, which can open a realcan of worms.•The applicant’s income has been

miscalculated.•A Personal Service Contract, incometo a family member who acts as care-giver, isn't calculated.•Taxes are not anticipated.This can result in the family care-

giver getting hit with thousands in taxesand penalties. It could also mean thatany Medicaid benefits would be can-celled and the applicant could be in-vestigated for fraud.

Here are some other common Med-icaid mistakes, which can cost you andyour family time, money, headaches,and the approval of your application:•Certain non-income assets are not

mentioned, meaning the applicantmust pay back Medicaid for bene-fits received.•The applicant has income in excessof the legal cap and the advisor maynot know that qualification is stillpossible with a legal tool known asa Qualified Income Trust.•The advisor did not consider incomefrom the well spouse.•The application is guided by an “advi-sor” on commission, who sets upannuities or an insurance plan togain income for himself and not inthe best interest of the applicant.•Medicaid case workers must do morework, taking more time for yourapplication, and causing the appli-cant to fight through bureaucracy.Throughout all of this, the applicant

and family spend tens of thousands innursing home expenses.

When an application is done correctly,with all legal and financial bases cov-ered, approval comes sooner, it costs lessmoney overall, and the applicant and theirfamily are happier and have much lessstress. Also, the nursing home or assistedliving facility will avoid potential law-

suits or state administrative action, ifthey recommended the advisor whoguided the application process. The facil-ity's good reputation remains intact.

So how do you avoid all of the chaosin the first place? Here are some ques-tions to ask before you hire a Medic-aid application advisor:•What is the advisor’s track record?• Is the advisor accredited by their

profession?•Does the advisor have insurance?•Does the advisor get commission?•Does the advisor get hidden fees?•Does the advisor educate you aboutall of your financial options?•Are the applicant’s legal documentsdrafted by an attorney?•Did the advisor tell the applicantthat Personal Service Contractsare taxable?•Does the advisor know about theincome cap for eligibility?•Does the advisor know what theincome cap is?•Does the advisor know about legalstrategies to protect assets?•Does the advisor have good, pro-fessional relationships with caseworkers?•Does the advisor understand all gov-ernment benefit rules?•Does the facility only give one rec-ommendation or do clients havea choice?If these questions are not answered

to your complete satisfaction, the advisoris not right for you. If you have questionabout the Medicaid application process,feel free to contact our office.

As pack animals, dogs have aninstinct to live in groups. Whenthey live with humans, their fam-ily becomes their pack. However,

many of us need to leave our dogs at homeby themselves for extended periods whilewe go to work or school, run errands, go todinner, or leave for any other daily activities.Some dogs can become sad or depressedwhen left alone often, and their behavior cantake a turn for the worse.

In some cases, adding a second dog tothe household can make a huge difference.There are many stories of dogs becominghappier, more active, and better behavedafter they have another dog in the house.Both dogs should be healthy, spayed/neu-tered, non-aggressive, and have similarenergy levels and play styles. Obediencetraining is recommended to help with properbehavior and keep the dogs under control.

Before making this change, families mustbe prepared for extra expenses and time com-mitments. Do not adopt a second dog just tohelp your other dog if you and your familyare not ready for the change of lifestyle whencaring for two pets.

Maybe you do not have any dogs at yourhouse right now, but would like to bringhome two or more dogs together so they cankeep each other company. You’re in luck!Occasionally, Halifax Humane Societyreceives dogs in pairs or groups. Sometimesthe dogs are biological siblings, and othertimes it is a pair of dogs that came from thesame house. In either case, since these dogshave grown up together as brothers or sisters,HHS tries to keep them together at the timeof adoption when possible. When a pair ofBest Friends is adopted together, only onestandard adoption fee of $70 applies. Thisincludes vaccinations, spay/neuter surgeries,registered microchips, one free month ofpet health insurance, and more for both dogsyou adopt.

Raya and Renna are a perfect example.They are a pair of approximately four-yearold pit bull mixes that came in to HHS to-gether as strays. The two dogs get alonggreat together. To meet Raya and Renna orany of the other Best Friends at HHS, visitthe adoption lobby today! ST

Tendons, which are tough, fibrous,ropelike tissues that link mus-cles to bone, are one of the mostcommonly injured structures in

the body. The more severe the injury, themore fiber is torn, thus the more pain is felt.Tendinitis, which means tendon inflam-mation‚ takes a long time to heal becauseof a lack of abundant blood supply. Whentendons are reinjured, tears can recur andform scar tissue, making healing difficult.With chronic tendinitis, tendon sheathsbecome thick and limited, which allowsfor the formation of nodules or knots.

De Quervain’s Tendonitis:De Quervain’s disease, first diagnosed by

Felix De Quervain in 1895, occurs withoveruse of the thumb while moving the wrist,in such movements as excessive hand-shaking, gardening, scooping ice cream,or using a screwdriver. Because of tendoninflammation, patients experience constantdispersed pain at the inner side of the wrist(radial styloid), which is worse withrepetitive motion and can radiate into thethumb and up the lower arm. With chronicDe Quervain’s, nodules can form and actlike knots in a rope passing through a pul-ley, causing the thumb to lock in a certainposition, known as trigger thumb.

The Finkelstein test, which, when posi-tive, shows increased pain upon forced ulnardeviation (folding the thumb into your palm

pointing the hand toward your pinky), canbe performed as a test for De Quervain’stendinitis. Commonly, De Quervain’s‚ ten-dinitis affects women in their thirties andforties and after pregnancy.

Treatment Is Similar And Simple Initial treatment of the pain usually

includes a combination of NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and phys-ical therapy. Local heat and ice applicationsmay be beneficial as well as wearing a night-time thumb splint for immobilization. Avoid-ing repetitive activity that may induce oraggravate your symptoms is essential. Final-ly, of benefit are corticosteroid injections intothe tendon sheath, which requires preciseneedle position and specific technique toavoid damage to the tendon or nerve.

With osteoarthritis of the CMC jointpain can also be felt upon gripping. How-ever, the difference between these twoconditions is that osteoarthritis involvesthe joint while De Quervain’s affects thetendon: big important difference. Play anactive role in managing your health andknow what differences are important.

Obviously there are many dif-ferent reasons for knee pain,but I will focus on meniscusimpingement in this article.

The meniscus is a small piece of car-tilage that lays between the femur andtibia in the knee. There are two menisci,one on the medial side of the knee, oneon the lateral side of the knee. The mainfunction of the meniscus is to act as acushion, and increase the surface areafor the cartilage of the knee.

Meniscus impingement and in moresevere cases tears of the meniscus arethe most common sports injuries, andoccur by twisting, pivoting, cutting, ordecelerating in athletes. In older patients,the cartilage in the meniscus can be-come weakened, and the meniscus canbe injured with relative minor trauma.In this age group, meniscus impinge-ment usually occurs with a twist of theknee, after sitting for a long time.

During normal movement, your me-nisci move with the knee, i.e. they slideback when you bend your knee, and slideforward when you straighten your knee.So during sitting, when your knees areflexed, both menisci are translated tothe back of the knee. When you sit likethat for a while (especially if you already

have some O.A. and inflammation in theknee), the meniscus might not slide for-ward quickly enough when you standup and straighten your knee. The resultwill be that the meniscus will be stressedand squeezed, and ultimately impinged.This will force the meniscus sidewaysand can lead to the meniscus gettingstuck in that position which causespain and inflammation.

Now every time you try to straightenor bend the knee, the meniscus does notglide forward or back anymore resultingin similar pain as what you would feelwhen the meniscus would have torn.

The difference in treatment betweena torn or impinged meniscus is tremen-dous; a torn meniscus will need surgeryto repair the tear, where an impingementcan be relatively easily fixed by using thecombination of acupuncture and physi-cal therapy.

According to the National Insti-tutes Of Health (NIH), acupunc-ture is a natural therapy success-ful in treating side effects of

chemotherapy and radiation. Research fromthe Journal Of The American Medical Asso-ciation has proven that natural treatmentsusing acupuncture therapy have controlledboth nausea and vomiting more successfullythat medication alone.

Chemotherapy is used to avoid the spreadof cancer at the cellular level. Radiation isa more targeted approach used to destroycancer cells that have localized in the body.Chemotherapy side effects affect the entirebody system. Radiation side effects affectthe direct location being treated. However,both chemotherapy and radiation can havecumulative side effects after a long periodof treatment. Nausea and vomiting are com-monly associated as the most debilitatingside effects of chemotherapy. Acupuncturetherapy has effects on neurotransmitters,chemicals in the brain that control thebody's response to substances that can causevomiting. Therefore, acupuncture sessionscan eliminate vomiting.

Recognized by the (NIH) and the WorldHealth Organization (WHO), acupuncture iseffective in treating side effects of chemother-apy and radiation including fatigue, hairloss, nausea, vomiting, skin changes, andlow white blood cell counts. Acupuncturestimulates sensory nerve endings that send

impulses through the spinal cord to differ-ent areas of the brain, causing both localand central-acting effects. By stimulatingspecific acupoints, acupuncturists seek torestore normal energy flow and help the

body function at the optimal level. Thetechnique produces neurological and bio-chemical changes in the body. Herbal ther-apy helps strengthen immunity, increaseenergy level, and restores the balance ofneurotransmitters.

Acupuncture provides a safe, natural wayto alleviate discomforting symptoms. Itworks with vital energies inherent withinall living things to promote the body’s abil-ity to heal itself. During a treatment, spe-cific acupuncture points are stimulated tobalance bioelectric energy circulation andpromote the body’s own natural healing abil-ities.A balance of energy in the body yieldsmind-body relaxation and optimized phys-iological functions of the body.

Seniors Today Fall Festival Round Up

Fall Festival

Round UpOctober 2nd

This poem was submitted byElsie H. Lazarus, 92 years young.DeLand, Florida

Old AgeI never thought I would grow old

Tho the future did portendI would live forever

And youth would never end

But Alas, old age crept up on meAs ages usually do

And in the mirror I could seeWhat I did not want to

The wrinkles, the hair that turned so gray

I did not want to believeBut the mirror does not lieIt was I who was deceived

So, each day when I awakeI pray to God on high

To take my pain and every acheAnd bid them all goodbye

Then I would accept old ageEnjoying it every minute

As time reminds me every dayThere truly is a limit

Looking for an activity thatwill tune up your body, keepyour mind sharp, and pro-vide an enjoyable social ex-

perience—all at the same time? ModernSquare Dancing might be just the ticket.

Recent studies have shown thatsquare dancing is one of the best aero-bic exercises around. According to a1994 Mayo Health Clinic letter, squaredancing can burn as many calories aswalking, swimming, or riding a bicy-cle. In a half hour of dancing you canburn between 200 and 400 calories.Researchers attached a pedometer tosquare dancers and found that theycovered five miles in a single eveningof dance and they had fun!

Don't forget the mental aspect, too.Square dancers learn to listen, con-centrate, and react. That keeps yourmind sharp—just like doing cross-word puzzles or taking quizzes. Withconcerns about Alzheimer’s and othermentally debilitating conditions it is agreat way to keep your mind active.

Have they peeked your interest? Day-tona's oldest modern square dance club,the Dixie Squares, is now 53 years

old. They are having a free open houseon Thursday, October 4 at 7 P.M. at theCity Island Recreation Center, 108 E.Orange Avenue in downtown DaytonaBeach (across from the ballpark). Comeout and meet new friends, try a samplelesson, and watch the brief demon-stration dance. There will be refresh-ments and snacks too.

Singles and couples are welcome, andno experience is necessary. If you decideyou'd like to learn to square dance, aweekly class for new dancers will starton Thursday, Oct. 7. Of course, if you'rean experienced square dancer they wouldlove to have you join their group! Thecost per evening is nominal; only $4.50for members and $5 for nonmembers.That fee includes the refreshments andsnacks. ST

For more details, call Steve 386-761-5800, or Sheila 386-274-5316.

Medicare and Social Secur-ity are the foundation ofretirement security formillions of American work-

ers. These vital programs face challenges inthe coming years, and the next presidentand Congress could make decisions onthem that might affect you.

Why are these programs so important?The typical retiree on Medicare and SocialSecurity has an income of only $20,000 andmust devote nearly 20 percent of that forout-of-pocket health care costs that Medicaredoesn’t cover. Social Security is currentlythe principal source of income for nearlytwo-thirds of older American households,and Medicare provides health coverage fornearly all seniors.

Many who are not yet retired are strug-gling with lost pensions and savings, lowerhome values, and higher health care costs.They may not be thinking about Medi careand Social Security today, but it is likelythe guaranteed benefits of these programswill be critical to their health and retirement.

Yet for the last year, politicians in Wash-ington have been meeting behind closeddoors to discuss changes to Medicare andSocial Security, without the input of peoplewho could be affected by their decisions.

AARP recently launched You’ve EarnedA Say, a national conversation to ensurethat Americans’ voices are heard in thediscussion through questionnaires, commu-

nity conversations, town hall meetings,online forums, and other events.

You’ve Earned A Say will provide infor-mation about the major proposals thatWashington has put on the table, both thepros and cons, without all the political jar-gon and spin. Americans deserve to havethe facts, so they can tell politicians whatthey think should be done to strengthenthese programs.

Making sure your voice is heard inWashington may be the best way to pro-tect Medicare and Social Security forgenerations to come. Most Americans payinto these programs throughout theirworking lives and have earned the right tobe heard. ST
