T
his month—November 11—our country again celebrates Veterans’ Day. It was first called Armistice Day when, in 1918, the peace treaty was signed between the Allies and Germany the 11th month, the 11th day and the 11th hour, bringing World War I to an end. Other wars have come and gone. Some have lingered for years and during all that, our awareness of the courage of our veterans has grown. On Memorial Day, we honor those who died for our country. Then on Veterans’ Day, we speak for the living as well, the war to peace heroes who fought for our freedom and lived to remember. The Department of Veterans Affairs estimated that from the war to end all wars approximately 1,462,809 WWII veterans are still living. Each of them has an important story to tell. There is a clear picture of the second world war itself but most veterans did not come home willing to talk about their experiences. As time moved on, The Library of Congress began seeking individual recollections of the war years and many stories have now been recorded and are on a website called Experiencing War (Stories from the Veterans History Project http:// veter anshistoryproject.org/). When my husband, John was admitted to the Veterans’ Home, there were individual pictures of veterans, along with a small wartime picture placed in the corner of the 8x10. The photos gracing the walls were of men and women who were or had been living there. The display was very impressive and remained a part of the décor until the year-long remodeling project began.

A poignant message, that appeared online, was used in speeches at Veterans Day and Memorial Day ceremonies all throughout the country and has likely become an important part of each of these yearly event.
You Name It
…by Kitty Maiden
It Is The Soldier by Charles M. Province (2004) It is the Soldier, not the minister, who has given us freedom of religion. It is the Soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the Soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us freedom to protest. It is the Soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. It is the Soldier, not the politician, who has given us the right to vote. It is the Soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag. It has become a tradition, when meeting a veteran, to greet them with a hearty “Thank You!” And, well we should. It is awesome that each time a veteran hears those words, it’s as important as if it is the first time. Some things surely bear repeating… so… “Thank you, soldiers!”... “Thank you, sailors!”...“Thank you, Marines!” … “Thank you, pilots!”…“Thank you, Seabees!”… all you wonderful men and women who have kept us safe and sound. Our hopes and prayers are for those who are still in the war zones, working to keep the America we have always known and enjoyed. May they come home safely and very soon. ST

Safe Holiday Cooking
M
any holiday celebrations center around family meals and meal preparation. It seems, at least in my home, that everyone gathers in the kitchen. The kitchen can quickly become overcrowded with guests wanting to lend a hand and even the kids want to be involved in the festive preparations, or people are visiting the cook as they are busy preparing food. All this activity makes safety in the kitchen very important. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) offers the following safety tips to help keep your holiday accident free. • Keep an eye on cooking food by staying in the kitchen • Never leave the turkey cooking unattended. Stay home and check on it frequently • Keep children away from the stove. Stove surfaces will be hot and children should stay 3 feet away • Designate a kid-free zone in the kitchen to reduce the danger of anyone being splashed by hot liquids such as steam. These could cause serious burns • Keep the kitchen floor clear so you don’t trip over kids, toys, pocketbooks, boxes, or bags
• Keep anything that can catch fire— oven mitts, wooden utensils, food packaging, or towels—away from your stovetop • Keep knives out of reach of children

Great Doctors… With Over Three Decades Of Experience Helping Patients Feel Better!
…by Kathy M. Bryant • Be sure electric cords from appliances are not dangling where someone could catch them and pull it off the counter • Make sure your smoke alarms are working. It’s a good idea to test them now before the holiday rush begins Additionally, try to prepare as much food in advance so the bulk of the meal preparations are finished before guests arrive. Also, consider designating an older child or adult to keep the kids busy during final preparations. Holidays meals are meant to be enjoyed by all, so be alert and be safe. ST Kathy M.

‘Fall’ling Leaves And A Bucket List by George & Peggy Goldtrap hat do Florida residents miss most this time of year? The turning of the leaves; the splendor of Fall. We boarded the Auto Train from Sanford to Lorton, Virginia and can’t say enough positive about the Amtrak venture. The autotrain heading north was spacious, clean, and as usual, staffed with courteous, professional personnel. Tickets included two meals per person and transport of our car. We left on time, 4 P.M., and arrived Lorton the next morning, sixty minutes early. Within an hour we were in our car—and lost. Front Royal, Virginia was the destination but we wound up winding through the narrow streets of Alexandria. I imagined that super-important politicians; maybe even diplomats, lived in the gorgeous neighborhood we viewed several times. Front Royal is west but that is not easy considering that the area was designed on a wheel layout. After several pathfinder attempts, GAG stopped at a market. Either the clerk couldn’t speak English or couldn’t understand Southern. Back in the car and clueless, we continued our Alexandria tour. Stop two clerk gave clearer instructions but failed to mention that many streets become one-way for no apparent reason. (I should transfer my real estate license to Alexandria now that I am so familiar with the homes.) Finally, we were on the road to Front Royal and Gag’s ego reluctantly confessed: ‘There’s no way I could have even guessed this was the correct route.’ Skyline Drive, out of Front Royal, is my favorite climb even though its leaves were past prime. It’s narrow, curving; undulating routing crowns the mystical Shenandoah Valley below. The mountains were a gloriously arrayed in fall’s finery . We overnighted in Luray, Virginia a charming town restored with shops, murals instead of bare brick walls, turn of the century homes, all balancing on billy-goat hillsides and of course, Luray Caverns. It’s a ‘place to spend more time, next time.’ Awakening with the mountains, we drove from haze burn-off into ‘sunglasses-required’ glare—every minute magical. Skyline Drive ends, and Blue Ridge begins, in Roanoke; a surprisingly interesting city. There’s an ultra-modern museum; decent skyscrapers, a huge star on a mountain and the usual kudzu encased hillsides. On a downtown building we spied a unique advertisement; a silver-service coffee pot pouring neon coffee into a cup. Fascinating! On an adjoining building, an old Dr. Pepper sign blinked 10-2-4. Nostalgia is alive and well in Roanoke. We finished the night in a local restaurant in business for 70 years—great food, homemade rolls, and ‘everyone knows your name.’ Our trip into Nature’s lair continued on the Blue Ridge. We were surprised by the many homesteads on this scenic highway.

Camera s heated and batteries drained; necks strained, fingers ached; we couldn’t click fast enough to satisfy our picture passion. ‘Neon’ green meadows; white horses under a red tree; the remains of an old mill; on a distant hill beyond the hay bales an English style medieval church; water tumbling over a rock dam stimulating senses; ghostly reflections in distorted glass panes; stunning scenery framed by split rail fencing; miles and miles of primeval vistas where settlers first found Eden.
Happy Talk …by George & Peggy Goldtrap Exhausted and hungry, we stopped at Tuggles Gap grocery, community center, mail drop, gas station, motel, barbecue, and art shop; the only game on the mountain. Tuggles had the usual suspects on the menu; homemade meatloaf, taters, etc, but surprise, they also featured a great wraps and salads. I always ask the waitress to recommend something, (hey, they see it first in the kitchen). Her eyes glowed when she mentioned the Tuggle Special salad. ‘Everything is good, but this salad is beautiful.’ She was right. Best salad I have ever eaten. It was made with mixed greens, spinach, pecans, crumbled feta, cranberries, traditional veggies and a heavenly splash of fresh lime-aigrette. Tuggles Gap stole my heart. Dropping off the Blue Ridge just before we reached its end, (we've visited Cherokee many times), we drove the Interstate, but found it boring—as usual. Overnight in South Carolina, we pigged out at Country Omelet in Richburg with its ‘Most everyday vegetable selection,’ perch, frog legs, liver smash, quail, endless coffee, everyone’s a ‘sweetie and honey,’ and y’all come agin now—ya hear!’ We opted for South Carolina’s Blue Highway, 321—yesterday’s row of small towns; whistle stops; quirky juice stands; rusting railroad lines; abandoned gas stations; an old wooden school held together by vines and picturesque, historic church buildings —history’s dreamscapes. The lure of home is a siren’s song so we hypnotically headed south. Our brief trip, (900 miles north via Amtrak’s auto train and 1200 south via Hyundai in 4.5 days ), was primarily vertical. With memory painted in Fall’s palette, we flopped in a familiar bed; a warm and happy cat curled beside us as we cherished the comfort of the shredding cotton blankets. Our experience will be easily remembered through over 300 colorful digital photographs. Check off one more line our bucket list. ST

any scams play on victims’ dreams of getting something for nothing. A Volusia County man fell victim to this scheme and lost $4,000. The victim was befriended by a woman from Africa while chatting on the Internet. Over time they established a long-distance friendship and finally the woman initiated the scam. She claimed to have a sick father who was racking up imposing medical bills. After assuring the victim that she wasn’t trying to squeeze money out of him, she asked him to accept some international money orders from a man in London. He was to deposit the money into his personal bank account and then in turn wire the money to the woman’s uncle. He held onto the money orders for a short time, unsure what to do. In an ironic twist, the woman accused him of stealing her money and threatened to report him to the authorities. The victim finally complied. One day the victim checked his bank balance and was shocked to discover that he was in the hole by $4,000 because the money orders he deposited turned out to be counterfeits. He still had contact with the woman through the Internet. She claimed innocence. Her story was that an American man residing in London had offered her the money orders for the hospital bills and now she doesn’t know how to contact that supposed benefactor. Unfortunately, the victim’s money is gone, leaving him upset and in
a financial bind as he tries to pay his bills. He didn’t have a legitimate address or other useable contact information for any of the players in this scam, leaving law enforcement without any substantial leads.
From The Sheriff
…Volusia County Sheriff Ben Johnson When presented with situations like this scam, it’s important to step back from the emotional pleas and examine things objectively. Consider how well you really know the people involved. Ask questions and verify any information you get. Keep in mind that banks hold you responsible for the checks and money orders you deposit, because you are the best one to determine the risk involved. The bank isn’t dealing with the person sending you payment; you are. Additionally, banks typically make deposited funds available to you quickly. Just because you can withdraw the funds doesn’t mean the check or money order is good. It can take weeks for a forgery to be discovered. The bottom line is that you need to be wary of any money transactions on behalf of people you barely know. Safeguard your information. Anyone who sincerely wants your help will understand any time delays or precautions you take. ST

Making The Impossible Dream, Possible Special to Seniors Today
S
usan and Joseph (Joe) Lent, residents at Good Samaritan Society—Daytona, plan to renew their wedding vows in the Prayer Garden on Thursday, December 10 at 10:45 A.M. The couple met on Labor Day in 1975 at their church in Boston and were engaged on July 4, 1976. The Fireworks continued when they married October 10, 1976 in New York where they were serenaded by their song The Impossible Dream. The Lents have lived the ‘impossible dream.’ Both were born with cerebral palsy and their love has endured many obstacles. In 2009, Joseph suffered a stroke and Susan cared for him for three years in their home. In 2012 he suffered a heart attack forcing Susan to place her loving husband in a long term facility where could she travel back and forth each day to be with him but she wasn’t able to live with him. “I just wanted to be with my husband,” said Susan. “Then I heard about Good Samaritan Society-Daytona, where they have independent living and long term care all on the same campus. Now I am with him every day. After 37 years, I just want to marry him all over again.”
In honor of making their dream to be together possible and because of the love they share, Pastor Will Wilson, Good Samaritan Society-Daytona Chaplain, will be officiating the Lents’ wedding vow renewal in the Prayer Garden Gazebo. The “impossible dream is now possible”—Susan and Joe live it daily at Good Samaritan Society-Daytona. “It’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever done,” added Joe. ST The Good Samaritan Society— Daytona is owned and operated by the Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society, the nation’s largest not-for profit provider of rehabilitation and skilled care and senior services.

s of Jan 1, 2011 the oldest member of the Baby Boom generation celebrated their 65th birthday. On that day, today, and for every day for the next 19 years, 10,000 Boomers will reach age 65. Currently, just 13 percent of Americans are over 65, but by 2030, 18 percent of the nation will be at least that age. The typical Boomer believes that old age does not begin until age 72. While about half of all adults say they feel younger than their actual age, 61 percent of Boomers are feeling spryer. The typical Boomer feels nine years younger than their chronological age. The 79 million member Baby Boomer generation accounts for 26 percent of the

alifax Rowing Association (HRA) is proud to announce that it has received a $5,000 Quality of Life grant from the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation (Reeve Foundation). Created by the late Dana Reeve, the Reeve Foundation has awarded 2,205 grants totaling nearly $17 million since 1999. Halifax Rowing Association will use the grant funds to begin construction of an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant dock giving adaptive rowers the independence to row with dignity.

Section B November 8, 2013 Tails From The Front by Tyler Stover s pet owners, one of our primary concerns is the health and safety of our pets. One area that is often overlooked is the wide variety of everyday items that are poisonous to pets. Over 100,000 cases of pet poisoning are reported in the U.S. each year. Many cases involve common items found in most households. To maintain pets’ safety, we must identify dangerous items and keep them safely out of reach of our pets. Human medications are a top cause of pet poison cases. Ibuprofen and naproxen are common anti-inflammatory medications that can be purchased over the counter, but
cause stomach ulcers and kidney failure if ingested by pets. Antidepressant medications cause a wide variety of symptoms in pets, including vomiting, fever, seizures, and even death if not treated. ADHD medications like Adderall or Ritalin cause lifethreatening health problems in pets as well. In general, it is a good idea to keep any medications locked away in a safe place that your pet cannot access. Some human foods are also toxic to pets. Chocolate is very dangerous for pets, as even a half-ounce of some chocolates can be fatal in smaller pets. Coffee and other caffeinated beverages present similar dangers to animals. Avocados, grapes, and raisins,
while considered healthy for humans, should never be consumed by pets. Check with your veterinarian for a full list of foods that can be poisonous for pets. Never place rat, mouse, or bug poison in an area that your pet has access. If a pet eats these items, or eats an animal that has been exposed to the poison, the chemicals can cause severe problems. Keep any other chemicals, like those found in antifreeze or household cleaners, away from your pet as well. With a little research and a few minutes of extra care, you can minimize or eliminate the risk of poison to your pet. If you ever suspect that your pet has been poisoned,
however, call your veterinarian immediately. The ASPCA also provides a 24-hour help line at 888-426-4435 (a $65 consultation fee may apply). If any of the ingested item remains, or if your pet has vomited, collect a sample in case it can help your veterinarian diagnose your pet. The 9th Annual World Series of Chili is Sat., Nov. 9 from 11 A.M.–3 P.M. at Jackie Robinson Ballpark in Daytona Beach. To purchase tickets, visit the Daytona Cubs box office or 386-257-3172.

What’s In The Stars
For The Week Of November 11
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A colleague might offer to open a door for you professionally. Before you walk through it, be sure this favor isn't attached to an obligation. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your creativity, your persistence, and your reliability could lead to a major career shift. Be sure to use practicality, when discussing what the job offers. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A changing situation might require some adjustments you might not have been prepared to make. Flexibility in this matter could be the best course to follow. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You have always been a leader. Holding fast to your principles, no matter what, inspires others to follow your example so maintain that leadership skill. LEO (July 23 to August 22) That keen sense of perception helps you hunt down those minute details that others overlook.Your Leonine ego will accept the expected praise with good grace. VIRGO (August 23 to Sept. 22) Be careful not to be confrontational when raising a work-related issue. Better to make a request than a demand. Be prepared to back up your case with facts.
LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your ego might be hurt when a colleague turns down your offer to help. Accept it as a rejection of your offer, not of you. A friend from the past could re-emerge. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) A flow of positive energy turns a work project you didn't want to do into something you actually love doing. Now, take that attitude into your social, intimate life. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Working hard to meet your professional goals is fine. Don't neglect your private life, especially where it concerns your more cherished relationships. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Don’t forget—patience remains the key word in dealing with an emotionally sensitive situation involving a close friend or family member. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) With new information coming in, it's a good time to rethink some of your goals without taking suggestions from others, no matter how well-meaning they might be. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Making progress on your project is relatively easy in the early part of the week. A problem could arise midweek. All goes great once it's resolved. ST

Chicken Soup For The S oul What It Means To Be Rich
W
e thought we had it all—a beautiful home, three children, all healthy and one more on the way, two cars, a couple of four-wheelers for entertainment—and we loved it. We spent money like it was going out of style. Then the market turned and my husband's job as a bigwig at a construction company was gone. The company had declared bankruptcy and was closing down for good. We both started looking for jobs right away, but there weren't any to be found. With each passing day our panic increased and we continued to work together in order to pull our family through. The more we pulled together, the closer we got. I felt feelings of adoration for my husband that I hadn't felt in years. That's why it was so hard for me to watch him blame himself for our current situation. I knew that he had no control over the economy; however, he constantly degraded himself, and his spirits sunk lower with each snide comment. I continually asked him to stop, but he seemed to want to punish himself for not having a job. Finally, one afternoon, I pulled him aside and said: “We have four healthy children and each other. That's what's important.
That makes you a rich man. We will find jobs when the right job comes along.” “But what if we lose the house? They'll hate me—you'll hate me,” he replied. I smiled at him and put my hands on both sides of his face to make him look me in the eye. “If we live in a cardboard box on the empty lot across the street I will be happy—as long as I have you.” I smiled again as I realized that I wasn't just saying it. Somehow, in all the struggling together I had found that deep abiding love for him that I had on the day we said “I do.” I could see relief wash through him as his shoulders and neck relaxed and the tension left his body. He held me close and once again we were able to talk, plan, and dream together in a way that we hadn't in quite some time. It was a turning point for us as a couple and a family. We are still struggling financially, but I consider us well-off because we have something that money can't buy and no one can take away from us. ST

Q: While cleaning out my dad's storage unit, I found a pouch of older marbles including sulfides, steelies, and tiger-eyes. Is there a market for them? —Sam, Ramona, CA A: Bill Blair is a marble expert and owner of Blair Collectibles, a company that buys, sells, and appraises marbles. He can help you. He is especially interested in post-1930s machine marbles and handmade ones prior to 1915. It sounds like you might have some that would appeal to Blair. You can contact him at P.O. Box 655, Pine Hill, NY 12465; and blaircol@aol.com *** Q: During a recent move, the curved glass in my grandmother's china cabinet got broken. I am really distressed about it since it is a family heirloom that I truly cherish. Can you help me find a replacement?

I suggest you show the prints to dealers in your area to see if there is any interest. ST

Strange But True Roosevelt Gives Speech With Bullet In Him by Samantha Weaver
It was Mark Twain who made the following sage observation: “The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who cannot read them.” It's interesting that an herbal cold remedy and a type of sea urchin share the same name: Echinacea. Both words are derived from the Greek word echino, which means hedgehog. In a recent survey, more than onethird of respondents admitted that they had dinged the car, then lied to their spouse, saying someone else was responsible for the damage. Presidential security was not as always as formidable as it is today. In 1913, former President Theodore Roosevelt was walking down a Milwaukee street, heading to a speech he was scheduled to give. A man named John Schrank pulled out a gun and shot toward Roosevelt, who staggered but did not fall. There was no blood evident, and Roo-
sevelt, who was campaigning for a second term, insisted on delivering his speech. When he pulled from a coat pocket the 100 pages on which his speech was written, he saw a bullet hole through the sheets of paper. Still determined to carry on, he gave the speech before going to the hospital, where it was discovered that the bullet had penetrated 4 inches into his body. After the perpetrator was arrested, it became evident that Shrank was insane; he claimed that President William McKinley had revealed to him in a dream that Roosevelt was responsible for McKinley's assassination. Shrank then spent the next 32 years in an insane asylum. You know that the Pacific Ocean is large, but you might not be aware of quite how large: It covers fully half the surface of the planet. Thought For The Day: “We are not retreating—we are advancing in another direction.” ST —Gen. Douglas MacArthur

Senior Service Line Caribbean Heart-Health Cruise by Matilda Charles
W
hat are you doing next Valentines Day? Even if you're not in a relationship, you can do something special... for your heart. Princess Cruises and the American Heart Association have teamed up to create a heart-health cruise as part of the ship line's Cruising For A Cause program. During February 10-15, 2014, you can be part of a special cruise in and around the Caribbean on the Ruby Princess, stopping in at Grand Cayman and Cozumel. The company will take a portion of fares (up to a half-million dollars) and match it with another half-million to donate to the AHA. You'll get a tax deduction as well, with the company providing you with written acknowledgement of your donation of the part of the fare they donate. Besides being a fun cruise, this one will focus on the ways to make your heart healthy. Programs, entertainment, and activities will all be centered on heart-health awareness. You'll be able to sample yoga, the fitness center,
healthy foods and cooking demonstrations, 5K walks around the deck, and more. At the ports of call, activities will include water sports, hiking, and biking. Depending on your choice of berth (Interior, Oceanview, Balcony, Mini Suite, or Suite), fares will cost $599 to $1,649 for double occupancy. While the upper suite fare might be a bit tough to manage, the lower interior stateroom fare might be more doable. Consider: With all the activities, how much time are you likely to spend in your stateroom anyway? Is there a friend you'd like to go with, to share a double occupancy? To learn more about the heart cruise, call 1-800-Princess (1-800-774-6237) or go online to www.princess.com ST

Veteran’s Post
I.V. Chelation Therapy
Veteran Suicides by Freddie Groves
O
peration S.A.V.E. is a Department of Veterans Affairs training program designed to prevent suicide in veterans. While the program is geared for suicide-prevention coordinators, there are points that can be helpful for family and friends of veterans who might be at risk. The initials themselves outline parts of the program: Signs of suicide Asking about suicide Validating feelings Encouraging help and expediting treatment needed. Those who work or live with veterans can help stop many veteran suicides. Here are some must-have resources: • Go online and study the program that is given to VA suicide prevention coordinators. Google this title: Operation S.A.V.E.: VA Suicide Prevention Gatekeeper Training. • Google veteran suicide and look for the .pdf entitled: Department Of Veterans Affairs Operation SAVE Suicide Prevention. Don't miss the Myths And Misinformation section, as well as the S.A.V.E. steps. • Go to www.mentalhealth.va.gov and click Suicide Prevention on the left side.
There’s a full menu of choices, including warning signs and resources. The official guesstimate of the number of veteran suicides is 22 per day. As more people and groups read the Suicide Data Report 2012 they eventually come to the conclusion that the number is low, for many reasons: Not all states participated in the survey and didn't provide numbers. Information in some cases was provided by funeral homes (who got their information from family members) and not by the VA. Information from states with large veteran populations wasn't used. Information wasn't current, and so on. In other words, the problem might be even worse. For more-immediate help for yourself or someone you know, call 1-800-273-8255 and press 1. Or you can chat online at www. VeteransCrisisLine.net. Or send a text message to 838255 for free support. ST

Flashback by Mick Harper
1. Which group released The Tears Of A Clown? 2. Name the only two songs by Frankie Avalon that reached the top of the charts. 3. Which group had a hit with Save Your Heart For Me? 4. What do these three songs have in common? Rockin' Robin, Turn the Beat Around, and Video Killed The Radio Star. 5. Name the song that contains this lyric: “I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine, any time, night or day. Only trouble is, gee wiz ...” Answers 1. Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, in 1970.
4. The were the sole hits for their one-hit-wonder artists. 5. All I Have To Do Is Dream, by the Everly Brothers in 1958. They recorded the song in only two takes. As often as their songs have been covered, no one has been able to duplicate their close harmony patterns, likely because they've been singing together since they were small children. It's called sibling harmony, and definitely has a DNA component to it. ST
