Life has never looked better at...

A Cause Because… ur lifestyles have changed so much that the way to stay healthy and in shape is to buy into planned exercises, eat recommended foods, and check out all advertised items and plans before making personal decisions. Then you need to read the warnings on the items.

Our world has come a long way, new ideas, new rules, new leaders, new technology, and so many choices. You are generally very happy with everything new. Then you realize how many liberties have been taken away and how many ways we have gone astray from our basic format that carried with it dreams of an American democracy.

These days it is hard to imagine anyone going anywhere by foot instead of by car. It’s unheard of to visit someone without first calling ahead. You never see clothes drying on the line. Doctors can now sit with their computers to read and tell you what is wrong with you. When you make purchases, the cashier doesn’t have to know how much change to give you. The register tells them.

The majority of citizens now have a cause. Bullying is a cause. Current or 30-year-old molestation has come out in the open as a cause.

Racism is still a cause even though fifty years have passed since that wonderful man, Martin Luther King, promoted the cause for peace among all.

Women have come a long way baby, but they still have their cause.

We once looked forward to the news but what we see and hear is NO good news. Some now make it a point to stay away from the news.

What is considered to be news? Every day, we hear of the latest battle, mur-

You Name It …by Kitty Maiden

ders, thefts, anything the media can latch onto to help keep the ratings up.

Did you live in a time and place where people came in and out of your home all the time and the front door was never locked? Friends would come over to play and remain undiscovered until time for dinner. Then your mom would realize they were there and make room for them around the dinner table.

Your little brother would be gone all day but would show up in time to eat.

Remember playing “Ring Around The Roses or Hop Scotch outside the house, playing Hide and Seek inside or outside, pumping the player piano and singing inside the house when the weather was bad.

Did you ever seek solace in an old playhouse or climb up a cherry tree to the roof of the garage in order to be alone?

Yes we have come a long way and we still have a long way to go.

February 22, 2019—Seniors Today—Page 5 Four Documents You Need & Why f you’re confused about whether you need or have a will, a living will, a living trust, or a durable power of attorney, you’re not alone. These are four documents you should have and understand why you have them (or don’t have them).

They all have different purposes, lifespans, and are distributed as needed.

A living will does not have anything to do with your last will and testament.

Purpose: It expresses your wish (your will) that you don’t want to be kept alive by extraordinary means.

Life span: Its enforcement and purpose dies when you do.

Distribute to: Primary care physician and assisted living facilities, hospitals, nursing homes, and those who you appoint as your health care surrogate so that they know in advance that you don’t wish to be kept alive with feeding tubes, respirators, and other artificial means. Note: It differs from a “do not resuscitate order.”

A durable power of attorney: Purpose: Gives broad authority to a person you appoint to act on your behalf in financial matters in the event that you become incapacitated. Gives access to accounts.

Lifespan: Effective upon date you sign it but usually used when you become incompetent/incapacitated). Dies when you do.

Creation and modification: Anytime before your death or incapacity so long as you remain in sound mind.

Distribute to: Assisted living facilities, nursing homes, and those you appoint as your power of attorney or as alternate power of

I

Protect What Matters …by Linda Carley attorney. Note: A power of attorney does not need to be an attorney, just someone you trust.

A will.—Purpose: To instruct the court how you want your assets distributed. It does not avoid probate but often avoid family quarrels.

Effective: Upon death, but not before.

Distribution: Your attorney keeps a copy of your will. You may file with the clerk of court in the county of your residence and you should provide to whoever you appoint as your personal representative (that person you choose to take care of your affairs and your assets and liabilities after your death.) Note: It should be signed in front of a notary and two witnesses.

Living trust also called revocable trust.

Purpose–Outlines a distribution of your assets upon your death. It avoids probate— Can be modified at anytime if you remain in sound mind.

Distribution: A trust is confidential. A copy should be given to the trustee. Note: It never achieves its purpose if you don’t transfer assets into it. Federal tax laws reduced need for trusts in 2018.

If you would like a free family assessment for assuring that your estate planning, real estate, long term care, and death directives are in place, call Attorney Linda Carley at 386.281.3340. Linda Carley has more than thirty years of legal experience, including serving as a probate judge.

Men & Tears

by George Goldtrap III —son of Peggy and George.

y Sunday mornings are spent in what I prefer to describe as leisure.

(Lazy is so charged with negativity!) In my 'casual attire' and a freshly brewed cup of coffee I recline on the sofa in repose.

Well, actually I stumble out of bed and try not to spill coffee as I plop down on the couch—in semi-consciousness.

Every Sunday morning, though, is spent watching Sunday Morning on CBS. Recently, the show celebrated its 40th anniversary. This episode was filled with retrospective from the shows' beginning in 1979! Artists, authors, power players in business and politics, comebacks, and falls from grace. All the foils and follies of which people are capable.

There is, however, a moment that comes during any given episode of Sunday Morning. It's that few minutes when the dreams of the humblest of us brings water to the eyes of the toughest of us.

It's that moment that gives me pause now. That water. That lump in the throat.

A tug felt in the chest that causes me to look around in embarrassment as I blink furiously trying to evaporate my shame and quickly dry my lashes. At all costs I must remain untouched by sadness. I must keep my heartstrings as rigid as the fenceposts that surround my emotions and stoically pass through the touching stories of survival and triumph unmoved. Why is it so embarrassing to feel those tears that come from an honest place deep within? Even as I try hard to stop myself from feeling something genuine I still—want to cry!

You see crying—well, it feels good.

It feels right. It's a catharsis. No matter what they told you when you were a kid. No matter how big of a man you are now you need to cry. Of course, all us guys remember the teasing, the hurt, the shaming we received if we were caught with weepy eyes. Eyes full of water betrayed us on the playground as soft or ‘girly,’ a baby. We bristled against the shaming yet quietly agreed with the outside critique of our own inner feelings. Even women experience pressure to resist that urge to weep. They don't want to appear ‘hysterical’ or ‘out of control.’ For all of us the pressure to not cry, even when we need to, is very hard to resist.

Crying, however, is a natural release of welling emotion that cannot be stopped without losing touch with something important to the soul. As men, we express the tougher emotions easily. We express our anger freely. Very freely! We indulge our indignation with

M

Happy Talk …by George & Peggy Goldtrap

a sense of righteous entitlement. There is no one who will be spared the assurance of our sense of Right. Our sense of pride in our accomplishments. We beat our chests triumphantly when our prediction of game results is correct.

Yet, as real men the evidence of tenderness, empathy, pity, or sorrow has to be hidden and denied to preserve a false image stamped onto us by an unchallenged definition of masculinity. A definition that pressures us to leave so much unsaid that yearns to be expressed.

No one denies that life is hard.

Difficult choices must at times be made quickly and without thought to any personal consequence. Suffering must be borne bravely, even stoically.

There's not always time for sentiment or consolation. Yet, time must be made or brave men can crumble from the inside.

For me and I'm sure for many men permission to cry is reluctantly given.

Even when occasions allow us to express our emotions we still try hard to stem the tides. A son or daughter marries, a grandchild graduates, a friend passes on and yet crying still seems an inappropriate or embarrassing sign of vulnerability. This vulnerability, though, is the very seed bed of growth. Of maturity. Think of when that first confession of love was spoken. Talk about feeling vulnerable! But that openness to emotion blossomed. It matured into a life with someone.

Yet, as I watch a heart tugging story on TV I am embarrassed to cry. But why? Crying feels good. Tears bring relief. They bring healing. Water renews the heart even as it renews the earth. Tears are joyous, too. That wedding cry you had was from joy. From pride; from deep happiness. You beam as your accomplished graduate takes a well earned diploma in hand. The sadness of bidding farewell brings a flood up from the heart and out through the eyes refreshing old forgotten memories. Those tears soften a harsh reality so that you can be happy for the next sunrise.

So, the next time I find myself crying in my coffee on a Sunday morning I am going to bravely and gently express what my heart feels without shame. I'll remind myself that crying feels good.

Crying feels right.

What’s In The Stars

Get The Answers!

For The Week Of February 25 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Doing something nice for others is typical of the generous Arian. Be prepared for jealous types who might question one of your more recent acts of kindness.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You're eager to take on new responsibilities.

Before you do, you might want to check out what would be required of you so that you don't face any surprises later.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) It might be best to put off an important decision until a fluctuating situation becomes more stable. Recently received news could help resolve a family matter.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) If you still have a problem getting that information gap closed, you might consider asking a higher authority, leaving you free to move on to another project.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) A family matter needs to be dealt with at the start of the week. Once it's resolved, the Big Cat can devote more attention to that new opportunity.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Pay attention to those niggling doubts. They could be warning you not to make any major decisions—especially where money matters are involved—until investigated.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) A business venture might need more of your attention than you are able to provide.

Consider asking a trusted friend or family member to help you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) A more-positive aspect helps you get a clearer focus on how to handle your time so that you can deal with several responsibilities that are on your schedule.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) A very close friend (you know who that is!) has advice that could help you work through a confusing situation. So put your pride aside and ask for it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) A workplace situation could turn a bit tense. The best way to handle it is to confront it. Doing so can help reveal the reasons for the problem.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) A colleague's remarks appear to be especially cutting. Don't waste your time trying to deal with the situation. You have more important things to do.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Support for your work comes as a surprise from someone you thought was critical or, at least, indifferent. Your spouse or partner has plans for the weekend.

Moments In Time February 22–28 • On Feb. 22, 1918, swept along by hysterical fears of German spies, the Montana legislature passes a Sedition Law that severely restricts freedom of speech and assembly.

How To Teach A Cat Tricks

ricks, clickers, commands… Those are just for dogs, right? Contrary to popular belief, cats are trainable. You can teach them useful behaviors as well as novelty tricks. You can even train them to compete in agility tournaments. Halifax Humane Society is partaking in the Jackson Galaxy Project in cooperation with GreaterGood.org Petco Foundation, and Halo Pet Food. This project focuses on the training of cats.

There are some differences between the way cats and dogs are trained, of course.

Cats aren’t as likely to be motivated by praise as dogs. Cats are also less instinctively driven to work in partnership with their human companions. That doesn’t mean they’re not superstars in waiting. With the right methods—and a little creativity on your part — your cat will soon amaze you with the things he can learn.

Remember: Cats respond to positive reinforcement, not negative punishment Cats should only be taught new behaviors with positive, reward-based training.

Punishment and dominance are not healthy methods, nor are they effective. “Punishment creates stress, and stress is one of the most common causes for problem behaviors in cats, including eliminating outside of the litter box and compulsive grooming,” says the ASPCA website. With that in mind, here are some steps to get you started: 1. The best reinforcements you can use are treats—but not just any treats. They want the soft, gooey, stinky treats. Many cats need something special to motivate them.

2. Get your cat used to receiving rewards in response to specific behaviors. Start with a simple trick to show your cat that good things happen during your training sessions.

3. Practice, practice, practice… but not too much. Repeat this training process several times in a row so that your cat learns why he’s getting rewarded.

You don’t want to wear your cat out or bore him, but you do want to drive home the relationship between a particular reward and behavior. Teach only one command or trick at a time and limit sessions to 10 to 15 minutes of practicing.

4. Try using a clicker to reinforce timing and —eventually—cut down on treats.

It’s important for your cat to be rewarded as soon as she performs the desired action, but it can be difficult for many people to time their rewards precisely with their cat’s behavior. A clicker can help with timing by introducing a sound that tells the cat that what they just did was good.

To teach your cat what the clicker means, charge the clicker by clicking and treating your cat without requesting any action. After a few times your cat will learn that the clicker noise means a treat and the clicker can be its own reward.

Marci Part 2, Chapter 20 lasses at the business school and her part-time job at Wilson’s Department Store would fill Marci’s days over the next few months.

Her daily routine would occupy much of her time which would leave very little time for her to spend with Isaiah, Jr. By the time she would get home in the evenings and eat supper it would be nearly time for bed.

Isaiah, Jr. and Frank continued to spend time in front of the radio every evening after supper listening to the programs.

She had noticed that Isaiah, Jr. seemed to like the program Skippy, about the adventures of these mischievous little boys the best. Nearly every evening as he was being taken upstairs to bed, he would tell Marci about what Skippy and Snooky had done in that night’s episode.

Once Isaiah, Jr. was put in his bed, Marci would find herself looking over that day’s school materials and many times she would wake up the next morning with her homework still on the bed with her.

Cora Mae stayed busy as well and her days were full of playing with Isaiah, Jr. and overseeing the new maid, Joreatha with her daily chores.

Joreatha had turned out to be a good helper for Cora Mae, she was a good cook and took over most of the meal preparations at the Dalton home which gave Cora Mae even more time to spend with Isaiah, Jr. One day in early April, Frank told Cora Mae he wanted to talk with her after lunch.

The two sat on the front porch while Joreatha cleaned up the kitchen and watched Isaiah, Jr. play at the steps.

“What is it that you want to talk to me about,” Cora Mae asked Frank.

“You and I both know that we want to raise Isaiah, Jr. here on the farm,” Frank said.

“That’s right we’ve been talking about it since his father died that he would be the rightful heir to this place,” Cora Mae commented back to Frank.

There was a few seconds of silence before Frank responded.

“I’ve talked with C.T. and he seems to think he can get Marci a job in Mobile, Alabama with W. H. Mugridge Manufacturing as an apprentice bookkeeper,” Frank said.

Well, isn’t that what we have discussed in the past, finding Marci a job somewhere and her leaving Isaiah, Jr. with us to raise,” Cora Mae stated as an understood fact that is what their plans had been all along.

“Yes, it has been, but he also said there has been talk about how her and Isaiah, Jr. might be able to move from the farm one day to the other girls at the school,” Frank said with a hint of frustration in his voice.

“Oh dear, I didn’t know that,” Cora Mae said sounding surprised.

There would be a lot to be discussed over the next few weeks, Frank and Cora Mae decided as they sat on the porch talking about how to deal with the new dilemma they found themselves in with Marci.

It would not be easy Cora Mae decided to convince Marci to take the new job so far away and leave Isaiah, Jr. with her and Frank.

Cora Mae decided to wait until Marci was offered the job before she said anything.

C

Winding Roads …by Byron Spires

A few weeks after Frank and Cora Mae talked Marci came home with the news.

At the dinner table she announced she had some news for them. Both Frank and Cora Mae knew what the news would be but tried to act surprised while Marci told them about the job offer.

“He said, they would like to have me come as soon as school session was over,” Marci told them.

“That’s wonderful, dear,” Cora Mae said as Frank sat silently continuing to eat.

“Let’s me and you talk after supper, if that’s okay,” Cora Mae said.

“Sure, if that is what you want to do,” Marci replied.

As soon as the dinner dishes were picked up, Cora Mae took Marci by the arm and led her out on the back porch.

“Let’s you and I take a little walk,” Cora Mae said as she walked out into the back yard.

“Sure,” Marci said as she followed Cora Mae. Marci and Cora Mae walked out into the back pasture a few yards and stopped.

“Honey, we are so proud of you and what you have accomplished at the business school. You are a smart young lady with a very bright future ahead of you,” Cora Mae started her conversation with Marci by saying.

“Frank and I feel the next decision you make will probably determine how you will live your life,” Cora Mae said to her.

“I don’t understand what you mean,” Marci said as she stood next to Cora Mae and watched her reaction.

“We want Isaiah, Jr. to grow up here on the Dalton farm, where one day he will be able to run the farm when he’s older,” Cora Mae said.

“I still don’t understand why me taking a job will change any of that,” Marci responded back to Cora Mae. “Think about it, you’ll be working in Mobile and not able to see Isaiah much and that is not good for a young child. He’ll be with us most of the time and it will get very confusing to the child,” Cora Mae said with her voice now sounding stern.

“Then I won’t take the job,” Marci said.

“No, you will take the job, because that is what you need to do, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for you and Frank and I are willing to pay your expenses while you learn,” Cora Mae told her again in a stern voice.

“What about Isaiah, Jr… what about me and him,” Marci said now starting to feel a little anxious.

“Don’t worry about Isaiah, Jr. we’ll take care of him while you get settled into your new job,” Cora Mae said as he voice softened.

“Just sleep on it and we’ll talk in the morning,” Cora Mae said as she started the two of them back toward the house.

t first, the long rocking settee with a strange fence protecting half the seat seems odd.

Why place a fence on an elaborately decorated settee that looks as if it belongs in a living room? The settee is a furniture form that dates to the 1810s. It seems to be a lengthened Windsor or Hitchcock chair, all wood with spindles, curved arms, and stretchers. Some look as if the rockers had been added. Paintings and ads explain the use and furniture historians call it a settee-cradle. The baby's caretaker or nurse sat on the bench with the baby lying on a pillow on the seat, safe because the rails kept the infant from rolling off. It was decorated to be seen in an important place in the house, probably near the fireplace to keep warm in the winter. Some of the pieces had a long fence that left little room for the adult caretaker. A rocking settee-bench with a faux maple paint decoration and a plank seat sold at a Neal Auction recently for $976. Some of the benches have brought close to $2,000. *** Q: I am interested in selling my antique Lafayette fruit jar. Your website lists it as worth $4,950. Do you purchase items? If not, do you know a good resource to list this item for sale?

A: In 2014, we wrote about an aqua Lafayette fruit jar sold at a Norman Heck-

A

ler bottle auction for $4,950. You made a very common error. Almost is not good enough when pricing some things, especially bottles. Color is important, and so is the wording, size, and its top. Clear jars are common; colors are rare. Lafayette quarts are worth far less than the rare pints. There are about 14 versions of Lafayette bottles, and each has its own price range. There are also several types of tops. Your bottle is a clear quart. The $4,950 bottle is an aqua pint. Clear quarts retail for $100 to $250.

Try going to bottle shows or bottle auctions in person or view them online to see values. Talk to some collectors. And remember, an auction charges the seller a fee, often as much as 25 percent, and you have other costs like shipping and packing the bottle and taxes. We identify the source of the pictures in our price guide and anything else we write, and list the addresses of major auction houses at the end of our price book.

Pet Care Fat Cat, Thin Cat

by Sam Mazzotta

Dear Paw's Corner: I have two cats—one very fat, and the other way too thin. Star, my fat cat, was adopted a year before Comet, my skinny cat. You can probably guess that Star is the confident one, and in fact he bullies Comet a bit. Skinny little Comet is very shy—he won't let anyone except me pet him, and hides when anyone comes to visit.

The trouble is, Comet is not gaining weight. I think Star is stealing his food, but Comet won't eat unless Star is eating next to him.

Any suggestions?

—Worried Cat Mama Dear Cat Mama: It can be tough to change a cat's eating habits. Still, give it a try. Feed Comet as usual, next to Star, but observe them closely to see if your bigger cat is indeed taking Comet's food.

Next, bring Comet into a separate room from Star and see if he will eat if you are sitting next to him. A friend of mine who was experiencing a similar problem with her cats did this and had a lot of success. The only drawback is that her cat now insists that

she sit next to him and pet him while he's eating!

I'd be remiss if I didn't also suggest that you take Comet to the vet for a checkup, just to make sure that he doesn't have any underlying health issues that could be preventing him from gaining weight. The vet also may suggest a different food for Comet in the short term to make sure he's getting plenty of nutrients.

• Putting up new calendars? Before you toss your old one, be sure to look through it for important anniversaries, and cut out and save any pictures or art that might be reusable for craft projects.

• Wrapping up your decorations is a snap with a visit to the recycling bin: egg cartons for ornaments, paper towel cores to wrap lights around, and newspaper for tinsel or lengths of fake boughs.

• Is your showerhead spraying in all directions? There may be a buildup of mineral deposits blocking some of the holes. Here's a good way to get that cleaned out, and it's no scrub, mostly. Fill a plastic baggie halfway with a vinegar and water solution.

Lift it up and put the showerhead into the vinegar. Then secure the bag over the pipe tightly using tape or a hair elastic. Let it sit while you're at work or running errands. Then remove and run the shower normally.

Make Omega Memories & Get Serine

L OV E

by Mitch Booth

he newest issue of Fortune Magazine (Feb. 2019) has a startling headline: Alzheimer’s: Big Pharma Has Struck Out. Bad news: After spending billions on a drug development to treat this scourge, they not only have been unsuccessful, they have abandoned the field! No new drugs are under development! Good news: The second headline reads that there is a “radical new approach to Alzheimer’s that is making a breakthrough. The new approach focuses on the cause (not amyloid plaque, that’s a symptom), which comes from environmental contaminants both manmade and natural. Nutraceuticals are then employed to detoxify both the gut and the brain allowing the brain to regenerate and eventually stop the neural degeneration.

What is exciting about this article and the research being done by Dr. Paul Cox? At his clinic, Brain Chemistry Laboratories in Jackson Hole Wyoming, he has now provided the evidence based science that validates what Dr. Seneff and Dr. Anthony Samsel have been advocating after six years of research. Dr. Seneff spoke at Love Whole Foods on November 30, 2018 (read my article Glyphosate: The New DDT on our website www.lovewholefoods.com). In that talk, she discussed the health threat to Floridians by the algae blooms fueled

by Glyphosate run off. Cox has now clinically shown the ingestion of food, water, and air exposed to algae contamination is one of the major causes of the plaque tangles in the ALS/Alzheimer sufferers. A substance called BMAA causes a mis-folding of an essential building block amino acid called glycine. This in turn has a domino effect on a second neural amino acid called serine. When these are disrupted, the brain reacts with an attempt to heal the assault with plaque formation. This issue is complex. Go to Dr. Seneff’s web page http://people. csail. mit.edu/seneff for published articles, slides, and data.

All this research makes me feel good about what Love Whole Foods has done for our community by bringing a world renowned MIT researcher to Ormond to address what is becoming a major health crisis. What Cox and Seneff have shown is that we must first eradicate ROUND UP just like we did with DDT. Second: we don’t need any more drugs; we need clean, contaminant free (organic) food and clean water. Drs. Seneff, Samsel,

and Cox all support supplemental brain nutrition as an essential second step.

They advocate following a systematic brain nutrient program like the one developed by Dr. Dale E. Bredesen, MD director of this country’s most successful program to stem neural degeneration in all its forms. The Buck Institute at UCLA’s medical center employs two major nutrient tools: Omega 3 fish oils, which contain all the known fat soluble vitamins of A, D, E, and K2 critical for brain function. Bredesen’s protocol focuses on the essential brain lipid called DHA which is a type of good cholesterol the body must get from eating (read Remember your EFA’s on our website).

A second lipid called Phosphatidyl Serine (fos-fa-tie-dil seer-een, abbreviated PS) is a phospholipid that has a unique molecular design capable of making new brain cell membranes.

These membranes are the openings through which nerve cells are revitalized and preserved. When combined with DHA and exercise, the serine bound to the lipid appears to be stimulating the regenesis of new healthy brain cells free of the damage caused by Round Up and other environmental/ foodborne toxins.

The newest research is evaluating how effective the protocol works with plaque enfoldment that is advanced.

However, what is known is how effective PS and Rx grade fish oil can be in stemming the progression of neural degeneration. Not only Alzheimer’s, but Autism, ALS, and dementia are effectively improved.

Do you want Omega memories you can actually remember, then come to either store and take advantage of this month’s 25 percent line drive with all of Natural Factor’s products including their PS and pharmaceutical grade fish oil. Free for the asking is a synopsis of the Buck Institute program. This program also advocates the KETO diet which will be the subject of my next article. Not a fad diet, this disciplined eating plan is changing lives!

So get smart. Come on in and take your DHA rich fish oil. Then get the PS to rehab the damaged serine in your brain. Be prepared to enjoy a new level of mental wellbeing for years to come.
