Bigger Is Better rowing up in the 20th century we saw a time of tremendous expansion. Everywhere you looked, new buildings were going up, new inventions were finding their way on the scene, and horses were sent out to graze in the pasture as automobiles became more common. For some time even space-taking automobiles were considered better the bigger they were. Many people grew up thinking ‘bigger is better.’ I didn’t… but as life goes on, I realize that this is, in fact, true in the case of several things. For example, the driveway. Think about it. Years ago, when visiting a relative in California, parking was on the street in front of the homes. Certain days of the week you would be fined if you were parked on the wrong side of the street. Residents would set the alarm clock to get up in time to move a car so as not to be fined. It was a hilly area… big homes… no driveways. Many of us start out in humble abodes, raise several children, expand the size of the home as the children grow… or make a move to a home that will accommodate the brood. The wife goes to work, always at a different time than the husband, so she has to have transportation. She gets a second-hand car. Now the double driveway holds two cars side-by-side, leaving room for a visitor’s car behind each one. Meanwhile, the children are growing up. They become teens and learn to drive. Even-

You Name It …by Kitty Maiden tually each teen gets their own car. When the second child comes of age and gets a car, the driveway is filled to capacity. The younger son decides to go into the lawn care business to earn enough money for college. Dad helps him buy a heavy duty lawn mower and a truck to carry it. Hmmm, where to park? There’s always the street. Then there are other cars occupying most of the space there. Sometimes when we think of bigger as better, it brings memories of forests and trees, room to run and a place for growing fresh vegetables. Then we realize that we wouldn’t know how to act in the world of our parents or grandparents. Actually, all we need is the pleasure of healthy neighborhoods that have become our giant parking lots… Far better than stabling a horse. As we grow and expand, we keep finding new ways to accommodate. As long as we don’t run out of ideas, we’re A-ok. .

Unscrupulous Tax Preparers

Take time to ask questions and learn all you can about the company and individuals you are trusting with this important, sensitive job. Ask the company who will actually work on the return. Avoid companies where your work may be handed down to someone with less training.

From The Sheriff …Volusia County Sheriff Ben Johnson Contact the Better Business Bureau and whatever organization certified your preparer to see if he has any complaints filed against him. You might want to get referrals from other clients, and find out what kind of training and experience the preparer has. Once the tax return is complete, make sure the preparer signs the return and fills out his identity areas of the form as required by law. Review the work, checking for accuracy. Is your name, address, and social security number correct? Never sign a blank form or sign in pencil. Get copies of everything you sign and make sure you understand it all. Some people face a daunting task in filing complicated tax returns. Crooks know that and are preparing for the upcoming tax season just like everyone else. That’s why it’s important to be careful when choosing a person to handle this financial task.

or some people filing a tax return is an annual headache. The experience can be especially bad for anyone who isn’t careful in hiring a person to manage all the paperwork. Fraudulent tax return preparation is a serious, costly crime. You are still ultimately responsible for the information’s accuracy. Unscrupulous tax preparers can cause trouble in many different ways. They can claim false deductions, inflated expenses, excessive exemptions, or unallowable credits for their clients. There are a few initial warning signs that a tax preparer may not be safe. If one claims he can get you a larger refund than other preparers, then you need to be careful. Many reputable companies advertise that through accuracy and double-checking they’ll make sure you get all the refund you can possibly claim. If someone says they’ll simply be able to work the system to get you a huge refund, then you need to find a different preparer. If the preparer says he can get you an immediate payment of your refund, be aware that you’re actually getting a loan. This is not an instant refund from the government. He’s most likely trying to make extra money off a high interest rate on the loan and gambling you won’t notice until after you’ve signed the paperwork. Fees charged for tax preparation should be based on the complexity of preparing the return. You should avoid anyone basing his fee on a percentage of the refund amount.

friend recently visited a clinic for his annual check up. His doctor concluded, “You're doing fine but you are getting older.” “That's why I'm here, retorted my friend, Please see to it that I keep getting older.” My wife says she's not getting older. She takes birthday control pills. No one I know wants to die. We spend enormous energy and large sums to avoid it. Death, sometimes accompanied by problems for the survivors, is often sad. You might conclude there’s never anything funny about dying. Don’t be so sure! An inexperienced preacher was solemnly conducting his first funeral. Pointing to the body, he declared... what we have here is only a shell. The nut is already gone. I once visited a southern state funeral home with names for each parlor where bodies lay in repose. Posted clearly over one doorway was the name... ‘The Eternal Rest Room.’ America's premier humorist, Dr. Charlie Jarvis tells about a woman who had her name placed on her husband's headstone, because, as she put it, everything's in my name. You would be surprised how many funny headstones really exist. Here’s a few examples:

Here lies Col. Brown Shot in battle by an enemy soldier. ‘Well Done Good and Faithful Servant’ Here lies Tom Stone Drowned in the waters of the sea. ‘By A Few Affectionate Friends’ Here lies Lucy Mann (unmarried) She lived an old Maid and died an old Mann W. C. Fields' headstone is purported to say... ‘All in all I'd rather be in Philadelphia. Former President Reagan, after being shot, made good use of that line, from a hospital bed. He reportedly told his doctor, ‘all in all I'd rather be in Philadelphia.’ Johnny Carson's directed that his headstone should read... ‘I'll be right back.’ Maybe that one would be more appropriate for Shirley MacLaine. Mel Blanc left specific instructions for his headstone, which his son has since carried out. You guessed it... the headstone reads... ‘Tha Tha Tha, That's all folk's.’ One hypochondriac’s headstone reads... ‘I told you that I was sick.’ If you haven't purchased your headstone yet, you might be interested in this local classified ad... ‘For Sale, one used headstone. It’s a good buy... for anyone that is named Murphy.’ My wife once asked whether I wanted to be buried or cremated. I said, ‘Surprise me!’ Funerals can be funny as well. True story. Two preacher friends of mine were once called upon at the last minute, by a funeral

director, to conduct a funeral as a team. Unknown to either was the fact that neither was familiar with the family. Arriving from out of town, at the funeral home, they received instructions from the funeral director. The two preachers, side by side, led the coffin in a procession down the church aisle toward the pulpit area. Quietly, before reaching the front, one turned to the other and asked... ‘who is the deceased?’ ‘I have no idea, replied his partner. I was hoping you'd know!’

Happy Talk …by George & Peggy Goldtrap One gentleman woke up in a funeral home, on a table in a room used to prepare bodies. Realizing the irony of his situation he asked himself... ‘If I'm alive what am I doing here? On the other hand if I'm dead, how come I need to go to the bathroom?’ At the burial of a wealthy Texan, two cemetery workers were assisting. The circumstances would seem unusual anywhere but Texas. His body was being lowered into the ground positioned behind the wheel of his gold Cadillac convertible. One of the workers turned to the other and said quietly... ‘Man, that's living!’ Some might even say dying is healthy. The doctor advised one gentleman that his health was so poor, he desperately needed three months rest, in Florida. He left immediately and relaxed in our famous sunshine. After three months he returned, and then, to everyone's surprise, died suddenly. His body was prepared and placed in public view. Observing the mortician's skilled work, acquaintances of the deceased commented that the three month's in Florida had obviously done their friend a world of good! At my father’s death, friends gathered to visit our family. There was much laughter in the crowd. At first stunned, I moved among the mourners to locate the source of the merriment, and soon discovered it. My father, an amateur humorist, had a reputation for always having a funny story. His assembled friends were revisiting the past by comparing stories he had told them. Dad would have enjoyed the evening... and for all I know, he did! Sometimes I hear someone say... ‘I could die laughing.’ I think to myself... that would be nice… but laughter cannot be buried. Laughter lives on... sometimes even at the funeral home or grave sight... and I hope in any hereafter!

Spouces Have Significant Benefit ocial Security can be an important financial asset for married couples when the time comes to apply for retirement benefits. In many cases, one spouse may have earned significantly more than the other, or have worked for a longer span of years. Or it could be that one spouse stayed home to do the work of raising the children or caring for elderly family members while the other focused on a career. Regardless of your situation, Social Security will look at all possibilities to make sure both spouses receive the maximum benefit possible. Even if you have not paid Social Security taxes, it is likely you will be eligible to receive benefits on your spouse’s record. If you did work and pay into Social Security, we will check eligibility based on your work record and your spouse to see which amount is higher. You can apply for spouses benefits the same way that you apply for benefits on your own record. You can apply for reduced benefits as early as age 62, or for 100 percent of your full retirement benefits at your “full retirement age.” You can find your full retirement age, based on your birth year, at www. socialsecurity.gov/pubs/ageincrease.htm The benefit amount you can receive as a spouse, if you have reached your full retirement age, can be as much as one-half of your spouse’s full benefit. If you opt for early retirement, your benefit may be as little as a third of your spouse’s full benefit amount.

Dr. Blasik M.D., Jason Welch NP-C, and Nitra Welch NP-C have opened their practice at Blue Ocean Dermatology. If your spouse has already reached full retirement age but continues to work, your spouse can apply for retirement benefits and request to have the payments suspended until as late as age 70. This would allow the worker to earn delayed retirement credits that will mean higher payments later, but would allow you to receive your spouse’s benefit. You can also apply for spouse benefits based on the earnings record of an exspouse or deceased spouse if you were married for at least 10 years. Spouses can consider a number of options and variables. We make it easier to navigate them. A good place to start is by visiting our benefits planner at www.socialsecurity.gov/planners Take note of the Benefits As A Spouse section. If you are ready to apply for benefits, the fastest, easiest, and most convenient way is to apply online! You can do so at www. socialsecurity.gov/applyonline Whether you receive benefits on a spouse’s record or your own, rest assured we will make sure you get the highest benefit we can pay you.

The Road Ahead: Planning For Retirement NAPSA f you or someone you love is among the 13 percent of Americans over 65 —or soon will be—there are a number of things that it may pay you to know when it comes to retirement planning. What You Should Know According to the U.S. Census Bureau, persons reaching age 65 have an average life expectancy of an additional 18.6 years, meaning retirement could last for decades. To make the most of your retirement years, careful and strategic planning is critical. There will be many decisions to make, including whether you need to make lifestyle changes, whether you want to continue working, what goals and priorities you have, sources of income and benefits, and how you want to spend your time. Often times, it can be helpful to consult with a financial services professional to make these decisions— and maybe, the place that you work. Six Decisions to Consider Financial professionals say it’s important for your financial plan to include products that provide lifetime income. Six key planning elements to think about before retiring include: 1. Decide how you want to structure your retirement savings. If you are married you may wish to consolidate accounts, others will choose to keep separate. 2. Communicate openly with your significant other and talk through your finan-

The more you know about yourself and your finances before you retire, the better off you may be afterward.

cial differences. Set goals and spending budgets so you are in agreement about how to spend during retirement. Learn about your pension and what rules apply to your pension and retirement savings. Establish a Social Security game plan. Work through the numbers and decide if it’s more beneficial to draw those benefits through your spouse’s working years or your own. Consider age when purchasing financial protection products. Is one spouse significantly older? Seek legal counsel about all your estate planning options. Wills, living wills, trusts and powers of attorney are all legal means of ensuring your wishes are carried out. It is also important to update all these documents any time there is a change in your marital status or family structure.

First Step To Waist Management: Clean Your Carbs by Mitch Booth ust in time for post Super Bowl food rehab, Love Whole Foods has partnered with our friends at Garden of Life (headquartered in West Palm Beach) to help all of us get off to a healthier new year. The best way to start is by losing the weight put on since turkey day. Being cooped up with the cold weather hasn’t helped. So what is the first step? Clean your CARBS… no not the ones you are thinking… start with cleaning the second largest organ of the body: the gut. You can do all the fad diets, eat all the mystery diet foods, exercise yourself senseless, you will still not lose weight. Okay, five pounds. It doesn’t count—that’s just inflammatory water weight. What Love Whole Foods has done since November, is provide tools to break the cycle of inflammation in our bodies. You start at the food processing/absorption center, which, like our cars has to have regular “oil” changes. We need to initiate good bowel ecology daily… not every three thousand miles. I was just watching a health seminar put on by Dr. Andrew Weil, M.D., at his Arizona Wellness Center. His best friend Dr. Terry Willard, CI, PhD, (head of the Wild Rose College of Natural Healing—Canada), summarized over thirty years of body ecology with this adage: “Out with the old” always precedes “in with the new.” This is particularly appropriate whenever starting a new body shaping program. You must get rid of the toxic accretions in the large and small intestines, along with the gall bladder (clogged gall bladders account for the most common surgery in the United States), the liver, and lymphatic system. If the colon is bound up, we cannot process or even absorb critical nutrients—B vitamins like B12 and Vitamin K —are just a couple. If the bowel is not hydrated, if there is insufficient fiber, both water soluble and fat soluble, then the bowel can become impacted and inflammation sets in. All the new gut diseases (IBS, Crohns, and Celiac) are signs of a gut on fire. Now the good news. Garden of Life has commissioned Dr. Willard to create a simple, non toxic product which gently “puts out the fire” in twelve days. In addition to the proven herbs which soothe the lining of an irritated colon, the formula restores the delicate acid/alkaline balance needed to aid digestion. It also helps eliminate the toxic residue generated in the process of digesting food. Here is a great quote I heard by Dr. Bernie Siegel, M.D. (preeminent U.S. oncologist) make at a colon cancer seminar: “If you don’t eliminate them (daily toxic waste), the body has no choice but to recycle them. There is little wonder in that colon cancer has become the number one cancer in America.” Now the first step is easy. Garden of Life has packaged Dr. Willard’s formula into a twelve day kit. It includes a day by

day plan to clean your carbs—cylinders— and wiring harness. It’s gentle and Garden of Life guarantees it! What about those other CARBS? There isn’t a reader of this column that doesn’t know that “simple” carbs (Super Bowl food) put weight on while “complex” carbs help balance insulin levels and provide lasting satiety. Think French fries versus whole grain brown rice. One has a high glycemic indeed (75) while the later has a low glycemic index of 55. The rice not only has a higher nutrient content, but it also has insoluble fiber, a better energy exchange which leads to controlled insulin /blood sugar levels. Remember fiber is only found in the vegetable kingdom. Dr. Brian Randal M.D. (NYU’s Langone Medical Center), states, “that diets high in healthy fiber repeatedly have been shown to reduce the risk of premature death due to elevated blood fats, obesity, CVD, cancer, and type 2 diabetes.” Now, this is the second step to waist management. Start your day with a meal replacement/energy shake that provides the type of fiber and protein that does the following: burn fat, satisfy hunger without cravings, and provide sustained energy. Garden of Life has done just that with their new RAW FIT meal replacement powder. Available in two great lasting flavors, both feature the gentle metabolism booster of Dr. Oz’s favorite: green coffee bean extract. Both utilize the kind of fiber advocated by Dr. Randall—easily absorbed in liquid form. Both are hypoallergenic: no soy, dairy, or gluten. Both are vegan and meet RAW processing standards to preserve vitality. Most importantly, both feature 100 percent certified organic ingredients as well as being Non GMO verified. As the largest organic food resource in Volusia County, this “whole food” meal replacement helps us meet our New Years goal: become the largest Non GMO/gluten free verified resource in our community. You can bet your gut on that field goal. These two steps use two products that are so effective, we give you a money back guarantee. In addition to Dr. Willard’s guide, The Raw Fit features a beautiful thirty page booklet with meal plans, tips, and real life testimonials. We are offering both tools at a 35 percent savings for the entire month of February. Mention this article and receive a free smoothie shake while they last. Come on in. Get off the couch—take these first steps—don’t WAIST any more time. Take that first step. It will change the rest of your life.

Antiques Console TV Q: My parents lived in Chicago during the 1940s, and we were one of the first families in our neighborhood to buy a television set. It was a DuMont, Model RA-101-1A console. My mother wants to know if it has any value, since she is thinking of disposing of it. —Charlotte, Midland, MI A: Most older television sets seem to sell in the $150 to $300 range, but as with most collectibles there are always exceptions. Your DuMont televisionradio-phonograph combination is one of those exceptions. Manufactured in 1946, it is referenced in Antique Trader Radio And Television Price Guide edited by Kyle Husfloen. According to Husfloen, your set is worth about $1,500. *** Q: I have a pair of Chelsea figurines and have been offered $600 for both. They are in perfect condition, and since I am close to retirement would like to sell the pieces. What is your advice? —Isabel, Manchester, NH A: The Chelsea Porcelain Company was established during the mid-1700s in England and was known primarily

for its production of intricate figurines. My advice is to contact a certified appraiser in your area for their expert opinion. The cost would be nominal, and an expert could answer your question about current values. Recently, a woman from Delaware contacted me through this column about several old dolls. I gave her the same advice, to hire an appraiser. She had been offered $500 for her four dolls. She had them appraised and was astonished to discover they were worth a total of $6,000. Her appraisal cost her about $50 and, according to her, one of the best investments she ever made.

Stalking Awareness Month Special to Seniors Today

anuary is National Stalking Awareness Month, a time to focus on a crime that affected 6.6 million victims in one year in the United States, according to the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey 2010 Summary Report. The theme for this year is: Stalking: Know It. Name It. Stop It. which challenges the nation to fight this dangerous crime by learning more. Stalking is a crime in all 50 states, the U.S. Territories and the District of Columbia; yet many victims and criminal justice professionals underestimate its seriousness and impact. In one of five cases, stalkers use weapons to harm or threaten victims, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics 2009 report entitled, Stalking Victimization In The United States. Stalking is one of the significant risk factors for femicide (homicide of women) in abusive relationships as is stated by Jacquelyn C. Campbell in her report published in 2003. In that same report it was determined that victims suffer anxiety, social dysfunction, and severe depression at much higher rates than the general population, and many lose time from work or have to move as a result of their victimization. Stalking is difficult to recognize, investigate, and prosecute. Unlike other crimes, stalking is not a single easily identifiable

crime, but a series of acts, a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause that person fear. Stalking may take many forms, such as assaults, threats, vandalism, burglary, animal abuse as well as unwanted calls, gifts, or visits. Stalkers are using technology, such as computers, global positioning devices, and cameras to track and capture their victim's activities. In 2012, Florida Department of Law Enforcement annual crime report stated there were 397 stalking offenses and 188 stalking arrests. Communities that understand stalking, however can support victims and combat the crime. “If more people learn to recognize stalking, we have a better chance to protect victims and prevent tragedies,” Chery Fuller CEO of the Domestic Abuse Council, Inc. said. The Domestic Abuse Council Inc. provides education for professionals who work with victims of domestic violence in addition to providing in-service training classes to businesses and overview presentations to civic groups and other organizations. To schedule a presentation, call Darlene Wolfson, Director of Outreach Services at 386.257.2297, ext. 19.

Moments In Time Record Raises $60 Million On Jan. 29, 1845, Edgar Allan Poe's poem The Raven, which begins “Once upon a midnight dreary,” is published in the New York Evening Mirror. Poe's macabre work often portrayed motiveless crimes and intolerable guilt in his characters.

On Jan. 27, 1967, a launch-pad fire during Apollo program tests at Cape Canaveral, Florida, kills astronauts Virgil “Gus” Grissom, Edward H. White II, and Roger B. Chafee.

On Feb. 1, 1974, University of Washington student Lynda Ann Healy disappears from her apartment and is murdered by serial killer Ted Bundy. In the summer of 1974, Bundy attacked at least seven young women in Washington. By the time he was captured in 1979, Bundy had become America's most infamous serial killer.

On Jan. 28, 1985, 45 American music artists gather to record We Are The World, a record that would eventually sell more than 7 million copies and raise some $60 million for African famine relief.

Craig A. Miller, DO Board Certified Family Practice

…Still Accepting New Patients

hether it's your first job or your fifth, the rules for getting ahead in the workplace are changing quickly with the advent of social media and the rise of more frequent job changes. If you want to stay ahead of the game and stand out in your company, Promote Yourself: The New Rules For Career Success shares ways to flourish by emphasizing the importance of personal branding in the new work environment. A core tenant of the book is that how colleagues perceive you is just as important as the actual work you are producing. Covering how to leverage new forms of media such as social networking sites, blogs, and managing one's digital presence, as well as how to spend time wisely doing activities that enhance one's reputation at work (like joining the company sports team), Promote Yourself is packed with personal branding insights. To further back up these insights, loads of data and interviews with professionals are included. Real-world examples of how professionals applied the book's tips to their careers, espe-

cially across different life stages and in different industries, round out the narrative of how important personal branding is to having a successful career. What kind of work achievements should you be sharing with your boss and team, and how do you share those achievements while still being likable and not bragging? How do you a build a network of contacts, both in and outside of work? Can you be an entrepreneur while still working at a company? Author Dan Schawbel, a columnist at both Time and Forbes, answers these questions and many more. If you want to be the most respected and best-liked person in the office, this is your read. Books reviewed in this column are available at your local bookstore.

What’s In The Stars For The Week Of February 3 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Taking time out of your usually busy social life could be what you need to help you focus on your plans for a possible career change this year. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A misunderstanding about a colleague's suggestions could create a delay in moving on with your proposal. By week's end, the confusion should be cleared up. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might feel overwhelmed by all the tasks you have to take care of. Just ask for help and you'll soon find others rushing to offer much-needed assistance. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Finishing a current project ahead of schedule leaves you free to deal with other upcoming situations, including a demanding personal matter. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Turn that fine-tuned feline sensitivity radar up to high to help uncover any facts that could influence a decision you might be preparing to make. VIRGO (August 23 to Sept. 22) A state of confusion is soon cleared up with explanations from the responsible parties. Don't chastise anyone. Move forward with your plans.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You might feel obligated to help work out a dispute with family members. You should step aside and let them work out their problems on their own. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Your ability to resolve an on-the-job problem without leaving too many ruffled feathers earns you kudos impressing major decision-makers at your workplace. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Newly made friendships merge well, with possibly one exception. Take time to listen to the dissenter's explanations. You could learn something.

Tails From The Front by Tyler Stover s pack animals, dogs have an instinct to live in groups. When they live with humans, their family becomes their pack. However, many of us need to leave our dogs at home by themselves while we go to work or school, run errands, or leave for any other daily activities. Some dogs struggle with separation anxiety, and can become depressed. Their behavior may take a turn for the worse, and they may even become destructive. There are many stories of dogs becoming happier, more active, and better behaved after they have another dog in the house.

Brutus is more of a gentle giant.

Both dogs should be healthy, spayed/neutered, non-aggressive, and have similar energy levels and play styles. Always introduce the dogs in a neutral space. Dogs tend to be territorial animals, so if the new dog is seen as invading the current dog’s space, this may create hostility right off the bat. Try taking the dogs on a walk with two people each walking one dog. You can also introduce the dogs in a park or any other area that does not belong to either dog. Do not just throw the dogs in a room or in a vehicle together and hope for the best. It is important for the first meeting between the dogs to be a positive experience.

Try to keep leashes loose so neither dog is choking or feeling added tension. Try to keep the initial contact between the dogs brief to avoid any dominant behavior or aggression. Use a calm, happy tone to encourage both dogs, and give each dog treats after a positive confrontation with the other. Once the dogs seem to be comfortable with each other, you can bring them both into the home. It is good to give each dog its own space for the first few days, so they are not fighting for territory. Make sure each dog has its own food and water bowls, and remove toys from their space in the early stages. These items can trigger fights between the dogs when they are unfamil-

iar with one another. As the dogs become more comfortable, you can reintroduce the toys for play time. Before making this change, families must be prepared for extra expenses and time commitments. Do not adopt a second dog just to help your other dog if you and your family are not ready for the responsibility and change of lifestyle. If you are interested in adding another dog to your home, Halifax Humane Society is here to help. Dogs can be viewed at www. halifaxhumanesociety.org Tyler Stover can be reached at 386-2744703, ext. 320, or at tstover@halifaxhuman esociety.org

Pet Care Give Dog Time, Space by Sam Mazzottaz

Dear Paw’s Corner: My friend adopted a little mixed terrier that he named Jessie. She must have come from an abusive situation because she trembles terribly, barks, and sometimes pees whenever anyone but my friend tries to interact with her. I always thought I could get along with any dog, but Jessie is terrified of me. What can I do to make friends with her? —Casey in Sioux City, Iowa

Dear Casey: Sometimes it can be extremely difficult to make friends with other people's pets. Temperament and the dog early environment can play big roles in how they interact with others outside their perceived family unit. Jessie might not have come from an abusive situation; it could be that she wasn't socialized correctly. If she was just dumped at the shelter (or who knows where else), she could have been traumatized by being abandoned. It's a sad and tough situation, but it sounds like your friend is giving her great care, and they have bonded.

Don't get frustrated if Jessie doesn't take to you immediately. Always give her a friendly hello when you come in. If she backs away or gets nervous when you reach out to her, pull back calmly. She eventually may come to you to sniff your hand or your ankle—stay calm and say nice, soothing words. If she sniffs your hand without backing away, try gently running your hand along her jawline to her ear, and scratch her ear gently. Don't try to pat the top of her head, and don't press your face into hers—many dogs react negatively to these motions. It could be weeks or months before Jessie allows you to pet her, or maybe never. Give her time and space to feel confident and safe enough to let you in as well.

Haven Hospice Donates Blankets Special to Seniors Today ith tears in her eyes, a petite Haven Hospice patient held up her handmade blanket and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Please thank the lady who made this for me!â&#x20AC;? Similar responses came from other hospice patients who received lap blankets handmade by talented and generous citizens from Volusia and Flagler counties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been inspiring to hear the humble pride in the voices of the people who knitted, crocheted, and quilted lap blankets for patients they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know,â&#x20AC;? said Terri Perry, Volunteer and Community Outreach Coordinator for Haven Hospice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hoped to get 200 blankets, knew weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be happy to receive 90, but were ecstatic to find 322 blankets coming our way to give to our patients in Volusia, Flagler, and St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s counties.â&#x20AC;? Large numbers of blankets came from sewing groups at local churches including Trinity Lutheran Church, First Baptist Church, and Sacred Heart Church. The mission of Haven Hospice, a notfor-profit community hospice organization, is to provide comfort, care, and compassion for patients and families regardless of their ability to pay.

Haven Hospice volunteer, Jackie Booth packages lap blankets. This is made possible by the dedication of Haven volunteers, staff, and supporters.

Senior Service Line Books As Brain Food by Matilda Charles

ow here's a novel way to increase our brain function. It doesn't involve getting more exercise or eating certain foods. It doesn't include doing puzzles. We only need to grab a book and start flipping pages. Emory University did a study that showed how there are quantifiable changes in brain activity when participants read a book. Granted it was a bit more regimented than just grabbing your favorite author's latest bestseller. In the study, participants were given a baseline brain scan each day for a few days. Then they were given the thriller Pompeii by Robert Harris with instructions to read 30 pages a night. Each morning they were given another brain scan. After the book was finished (about nine days), they were given more scans to see how the brain reacted. Researchers were able to track which portions of the book the participants were reading and correlate them to the brain scan images. Here's what they learned: During reading, and for days afterward, there

were significant activity increases in the parts of the brain associated with story comprehension, as well as processing language. According to the study, the reading has to be fiction to get these brain connectivity changes, something with a narrative that describes events unfolding, a story we can identify with. Here's my thinking: While researchers don't know yet how long these brain changes last after reading a novel, it's at least five days. Perhaps we should spend some time in 2014 re-reading the novels that had an impact on us, as well as new narrative fiction and a few of the old classics. The reference librarian is sure to be a good source for book suggestions.

Dear Dr. Donohue: My husband is is a competitive distance runner. He loves Kool-Aid and calculates that in a year he drinks 150 pounds of sugar. A friend told him if he continues this habit, he might develop diabetes. Can a skinny, athletic person develop diabetes from consuming sugar? —S.B. Answer: Although sugar is half the name of sugar diabetes, sugar doesn't cause diabetes. It's a popular belief that it does, but it doesn't. People with diabetes are careful to watch their sugar intake, and they watch their total carbohydrate intake, but diabetics don't have to eliminate sugar completely from their lives. Careful monitoring of sugar and carbohydrate intake is essential for their control of blood sugar. Type 1 diabetes, the kind that requires insulin for control, often has its onset in younger years. It's due to a destruction of the insulin-making cells of the pancreas. The destruction is believed to be the work of the immune system. Sugar has nothing to do with it. Type 1 diabetes accounts for 5 percent to 10 percent of all diabetes cases.

Type 2 diabetes, the much more common kind, comes about from a decline in insulin production along with a decline in the effectiveness of insulin. Ninety percent of Type 2 diabetics are overweight, and weight loss helps them control their blood sugar. Physical inactivity also contributes to Type 2 diabetes. So do genes. Again, it's not the sugar intake that produces this common type of diabetes. Monitoring the intake of sugar is important for control of this variety of diabetes. The booklet on diabetes presents this illness and its treatments in detail. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue—No. 402W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient's printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

Veteran’s Post Don’t Just Sit There by Freddy Groves

f you're a member of a veterans service organization, like the Veterans of Foreign Wars or the American Legion, do you participate? By that I mean, do you do more than just show up at most of the meetings? Do you participate in events? Do you offer ideas of ways to help veterans in need? Let me tell you what happens when members don't all participate: A small group of members will keep working, hosting events, stepping forward... until they stop. They'll stop because they're worn out. They'll be worn out because they've been doing all the work for far too long. Is a similar situation going on in your organization? Have you considered how close the post might be to losing those members (or at least their participation) due to sheer exhaustion? How about your auxiliary? If you hesitate to organize an event or participate because you don't know what to do, fear not. It's all been done before, and someone has the know-how you'll need. Maybe it will be another

post, or the staff in volunteer services at the medical center. We all have skills we can bring to the table when it comes to helping other veterans. Start off by driving a veteran to appointments, answering phones at the Vet Center, or playing chess with patients at the hospital. Or maybe you can plan a party for a ward at the medical center, organize a mail-writing blitz for letters that go in Operation Gratitude packages, or put together a Stand Down for homeless veterans. Or try recording a veteran's story for the Veteran's History Project or serving as escort on an Honor Flight so an elderly veteran can go to Washington, D.C. Get involved, and once you do, encourage other members to join you.

Here’s An Idea The Shoe Game by JoAnn Derson

“Here's a great chore for little kids. Our family seems to leave shoes all over the house. I will have my 4-year-old collect the shoes and deliver them to the room of the person to whom the shoes belong. It's a very easy chore, and even is like a game sometimes.” —A.J. in Texas

“When cooking from a recipe that I'm not super-familiar with, I tape it to the front of my kitchen cabinet. It's in a central location, easy to see, and won't get dirty. If it turns out to be something I like, I put it in a plastic sleeve protector in my cookbook. I can still pull it out and tape it to the cabinet when necessary.” —R.G. in Georgia

I love baked goods. Here are some good tips that I use all the time: 1.Use a wine glass to cut biscuits. 2. Set a loaf of baked bread on a tea towel, top down, then use a serrated knife to cut from

the bottom. Your slices will look perfect, since you won't crush the top. —JoAnn If your family likes stuffing, try baking it in muffin tins for single servings. It works very well. “I use a garment rack to dry outerwear overnight. Hang from skirt hangers (the ones with clips), and make sure there is plenty of room for air to circulate around the damp pieces. I use a small fan pointed at the rack, and make sure it's in a warm location, as this doesn't work so well in our cold utility room.” —D.L. in Michigan
