Alice Turns 13 lice is a Fox Terrier who talks! Often she is heard to say, “Ah Wuv Oo.” Her mistress is devoted to Alice and translates her message to “I Love You.” When her mistress added a ‘Mister’ to her home, Alice seemed very reserved—even jealous. It took forever for the man to meet with Alice’s approval.

One day Alice overheard the couple discussing going to Florida during the Christmas holiday—and they were going to drive instead of fly. There could be only one reason for that.

Alice thought: “Oh, Joy! My loving owner(s) decided to drive to Florida instead of flying. There has to be only one good reason for that. It is so that I could go with them this year! Honestly, I am not sure I will enjoy it but I will reserve judgment.

“A couple of days before we left, I heard my mistress on the phone trying to make a reservation at a motel. It took several calls before she found one that would allow me (a dog, she said… me, a Fox Terrier… why did she refer to me as just—.a dog?) Oh, well, I’ll forgive her. It’s just a stop-over on the way to Florida and I have to give her credit for not leaving me behind.

“I didn’t have much to say. I spent most of my time in the back seat, trying to imagine what Florida would be like.

I overheard that the people we were visiting had a couple of Dachshunds … those weenie dogs and wondered how we would get along.

“When we arrived at our destination, I heard my mistress say that I was so good during the trip. My ears perked up at that and I strutted into the house feeling like an honored guest until that low-breed named Casi decided to claim the place as her domain. She yelped at me and acted as if she was going to bite me. I ignored her and after a while she

and Dixie and I were all decked out in our Christmas sweaters, strutting our stuff… together.

“I soon learned that the only thing I had one-upsman on them was that I could say, I love you.”

“Never have I seen such a conglomeration of backgrounds in one room.

There was a man, with his wife and daughter. I heard someone ask where he was from and he said, ‘Greece’.

Sounded like what’s left in the skillet when you fry bacon! Then a lady was asked where she was from and she must have misunderstood the question for she called out ‘Virginia’ and there wasn’t anyone there by that name.

“I have to admit, I made a lot of new friends and they actually ended up singing Happy Birthday to me! That was just before we left to go back north. I actually think I will miss all of them… especially my canine friends, Casi and Dixie and Sheila and Rose.”

The Mister and Mistress rode happily around town saying goodbye and saying that Alice was enjoying her 13th birthday. Everyone sang Happy Birthday to Alice before saying goodbye… see you next time.

Alice said, “Arff.”

f you have trouble keeping New Year's resolutions, here are some suggestions that might help you finally come through this year.

• Focus on one resolution at a time.

Divide and conquer the activities to achieve your desired results. Break larger tasks into smaller ones.

• Create a sense of accountability. Designate a friend, mentor, or companion for sharing successes, monitoring progress, and offering support. The benefit of involving others in your goals and plans is instant access to experience, knowledge, and wisdom.

It also raises the bar of responsibility.

• Persist until completed. A resolution achieved is a combination of consistency and hard work. If you fall behind schedule or are sidetracked for any reason, try to refocus—and do not give up! Don't surrender to temptation, difficulty, or temporary failure.

Persist until you achieve the goal.

• Cultivate personal integrity. Have a clear purpose, commit to success, and be accountable.

New Year's Quotes No one ever regarded the first of January with indifference. It is that from which all date their time, and count upon what is left. It is the nativity of our common Adam.

—Charles Lamb

I

on the first of January let every man gird himself once more, with his face to the front, and take no interest in the things that were and are past.

—Henry Ward Beecher Youth is when you're allowed to stay up late on New Year's Eve. Middle age is when you're forced to.

—Bill Vaughn Celebratin' New Year's Eve is like eatin' oranges. You got to let go your dignity t' really enjoy 'em.

A New Year's resolution is something that goes in one year and out the other.

—Author Unknown

The etiquette question that troubles so many fastidious people on New Year's Day is: How am I ever going to face those people again?

—Judith Martin (Miss Manners)

The fresh start is always an illusion, but a necessary one.

—Eleanor Clark

Every man should be born again on the first day of January. Start with a fresh page. Take up one hole more in the buckle if necessary, or let down one, according to circumstances; but

Ring out the old, ring in the new, Ring, happy bells, across the snow: The year is going, let him go; Ring out the false, ring in the true.

—Alfred, Lord Tennyso

Mornings

by George Goldtrap kay... its the first of the year and here we go again with this morning stuff. I’m not opposed to mornings but I have always felt they start much too early. I mean, what’s wrong with 9 A.M‌ or 10 A.M. for that matter? Seems like a good time to start mornings to me. What is the merit in 5 or 6 A.M.? Oh I know the sun is probably up by then but ‘big deal.’ The sun is perfectly capable of operating without me and in fact, usually does.

Another thing about mornings—why do we insist on putting one at the start of every new week? New weeks are hard enough as it is‌then we insist on sticking a morning in there, right off the bat. I mean, we just finished with the weekend in-laws, multiple football games, and all that. Now morning first thing. Give me a break.

Several times over the years, Peggy has complained of 9-month morning sickness.

Of course I sympathize, always, but hey, just 3 or four pregnancies? I’m sick of mornings 365 days a year, times 77 and who feels sorry for me? Yea, right!

As if mornings were not bad enough, we insist on sticking them on holidays‌ Easter morning, Christmas morning, and then, one week later‌ New Year’s. Now truthfully, who do you know is looking forward to New Year’s morning? Come on can’t we do better than that! At least most 4th of July events are not in the morning.

Those founding fathers were much smarter than that.

Mornings could be so pleasant‌ later in the day. Is it written somewhere in sacred scripture that mornings have to be so early. ‘The evening and the morning were the first day.’ Fine, but the evenings could last longer thus making the mornings available at a more convenient time. Work on that.

I think we may be onto something.

Start with clocks. Remove the A.M. section completely and presto‌ the alarm is no more. Face it, without the alarm, we wouldn’t know when morning was anyway. Who’d miss it?

Happy Talk ‌ by George & Peggy Goldtrap We’re rolling now. Let’s keep going.

There is probably a morning on every calendar day‌ well except maybe Saturday. I wouldn’t know about Saturdays ‌ I’m never upright that early. If there is a Saturday morning, now is the time to fix that‌ and not a moment too soon.

Now, we’ve got the weekdays and weekends fixed, and we’re working on the calendar days. That gives us a little breathing time until mid-January when we get a new government. Time to write your congressman and get ‘rescheduled mornings’ on their new bill list, first thing. No wait‌ when have you ever heard a congressman talking about morning? They probably have not heard of one in years. What about merchants? Maybe they’d be on our side. No, that won’t work either. The Krispy-Kreme people would never support it. Neither would the paper delivery people or the sanitation truck drivers. They have an obligation to make lots of noise in the mornings.

They’re famous for that‌ and no one wants their paper at 11:30 A.M. Maybe I’m taking the wrong tack. I’ll give this some more thought and get back to you. Right now it’s five o’clock, and the sun is peeking to see if mornings are still welcome. You know what I have to do.

I’ll close the blinds. Maybe we can fool’em, at least for a few hours.

Oh no! It’s the cat‌ she’s standing on my hip and screaming ‘meorning’ and she want to be fed while it’s‌oh you know ‌ morning.

Credit Card Fraud ears ago, most consumers paid in cash but in today’s, world credit cards are a financial convenience and way of life for most people. However, like many modern conveniences, credit cards are open to abuse.

In the wrong hands, your credit cards or credit card numbers are like an open invitation to rob you. With the card or number in hand, thieves can quickly charge thousands of dollars worth of merchandise or borrow large sums of cash.

The most basic safety tip is to only carry the cards that you absolutely must have with you to transact business. Other cards can be left at home in a secure location and carried as needed.

Here are some other safety tips to keep in mind: • Don’t give out your credit card number over the phone unless you initiated the call and you are absolutely certain about the company you are doing business.

• If your credit card includes a PIN number, memorize the number and don’t keep it with your card.

• Never leave your credit cards lying around in the open.

• When checking out at store registers, shield your credit card from people around you in case someone is looking over your shoulder for an opportunity to copy your credit card number.

• Be sure to destroy carbons and voided receipts immediately.

Y

From The Sheriff …Volusia County Sheriff Ben Johnson • Make sure your transactions are accurate. Be on guard for dishonest merchants who might change your credit card slip after you sign it.

• Always total your charge slip before signing the credit card receipt. Don’t leave blank spaces for others to fill out.

• Never sign a blank charge slip.

• Maintain your credit card receipts in a secure location and then check them against your bill each month to make sure that you haven’t been billed for transactions that you didn’t make.

• Immediately destroy any credit cards that you don’t use.

• Maintain a list of phone numbers to all of your credit card issuers in case you need to contact them about a theft or suspected fraud with your cards.

• Shred credit cards offers you receive in the mail.

• Obtain your credit report annually from the major credit bureaus and check for any fraudulent activity.

While nothing is foolproof, practicing these safety tips will make you far less vulnerable to credit card thieves.

Q: I bought a ceramic bird at a yard sale. It has an opening or vent at its beak.

I am sending you a picture and hope you can identify it for me.

—Julie, Artesia, NM A: I examined the picture you sent me. You have a pie bird, which was sometimes placed in the middle of a pie before baking so it could support the pastry to prevent sagginess and allow steam to escape. These have become quite collectible in recent years. Although you didn't reveal how much you paid, many currently are selling on eBay and in shops in the $25-$50 range. Condition and design are both important when determining values. *** Q: I am a regular reader of your column. Can you recommend a good general price guide that you think is accurate and user-friendly?

—Charlie, Rio Rancho, NM A: Although there are dozens of price guides available, I especially like The Antique Trader Antiques & Collectibles Price Guide, edited by Eric Bradley and

published by Krause Books. Just updated, the 2015 edition features more than 4,300 illustrations in full color, and is comprehensive and, yes, accurate.

The guide covers almost every field of collecting, including Coca-Cola, Art, Ceramics, Kitchenware, Music Memorabilia, Silver, Toys, Quilts, Jewelry, Glass, and much, much more.

Priced at $22.99, this almost 800-page reference is quite a bargain. *** Q: My great-uncle was a Methodist missionary in Africa during the 1930s.

He accumulated several artifacts that I inherited and now would like to sell.

—Betty, Lakewood, PA A: I suggest you contact the Brant Mackley Gallery, which buys Tribal artifacts from Africa in addition to Native American beadwork, baskets, blankets, rugs, and other related items. Contact is 5 West Canal St., Hershey, PA 17033; brant@bmgart.com; and 717-554-2176.

Martin Scorsese: A Retrospective Reviewed by Larry Cox artin Scorsese made his first film in 1963 while still a student at New York University's film school, but it was Mean Streets a decade later that brought him international attention.

Scorsese's 50-year career in filmmaking includes such movies as Raging Bull, The King Of Comedy, The Color Of Money and, of course, the controversial 1976 classic Taxi Driver. Not only have his films established him as an important director, his work also created stars such as Robert De Niro.

Tom Shone, film critic of the Economist's Intelligent Life magazine and a frequent contributor to The New York Times and The New Yorker, has compiled a remarkable book Martin Scorsese: A Retrospective about Scorsese and his work.

Featuring more than 250 images, including movie stills, archive publicity material, and on-set photography, this stunning monograph is the next best thing to actually viewing a Scorsese film.

Born in New York City in 1942, Scorsese spent much of his childhood absorbing the sights and sounds of Little Italy from the balcony of his family's tenement apartment. This is, perhaps, why his films, especially those set in New York City,

have such authenticity. Because of childhood asthma, Scorsese spent much of his early years watching movies. In fact, he became so caught up in movies and movie making that he began constructing storyboards. When he was accepted at New York University's film school, he learned his craft and became not just good, but great.

Tom Shone draws on his in-depth knowledge and unique viewpoint to present new takes on all 23 of Scorsese's main features.

As Scorsese once said, “My whole life has been movies and religion. That's it.

Nothing else.”

This lavish book is a fitting tribute to one of cinema's most enduring talents.

This Is A Hammer Screen Door Repair

by Samantha Mazzotta Q: On a visit to our friend's house, my youngest son went right through the screen door. I want to fix the damage. Can I do so without having to buy a whole new screen door?

—Joe T., Hartford, CT A: If the door frame is undamaged, you should be able to replace the screen itself. Inspect the door frame for warped or broken rollers. Make sure it's seated properly in the track and rolls easily back and forth.

If the door sticks when it rolls, check the bottom rollers. (Gently wiggle each side of the door; the side with more resistance may have a roller off the track.) Carefully lift up that side of the door as far as it will go (usually a fraction of an inch). Use a small putty knife to gently push the roller wheel back down into its track, and test.

You can elect either to replace the screen and any damaged components, or to replace the entire door ($50 to upward of $100).

If replacement parts are available for that specific model, get those; otherwise, a generic replacement kit with nylon screen and spline should work fine. Purchase a spline roller as well.

Remove the screen door from its tracks by lifting upward and tugging out. Lay the door flat on a clean surface with the screen side nearest you. Locate the rubber spline

around the perimeter of the screen. Using a flat screwdriver, ease a section of spline out of its track and then pull the entire run out.

The broken screen will come out with it.

Next, roll the replacement screen out and pre-measure. Leave at least 1 inch extra around all four sides. Use a utility knife to cut the screen to size.

With a helper holding the screen in place, use the spline roller's convex (ungrooved) end to push the new screen down into its groove on one side of the door. Follow up by pushing the new spline into place in the groove, pinning the screen in. Use the grooved side of the roller to push the spline in tightly.

Repeat the process on all four sides, working carefully around each corner so that the edges don't tear the screen. Hold the screen taut as you work.

Once the spline is in place, carefully cut away the extra length at the end and push the nub down into the groove. Use a utility knife to trim away the excess screen from the outer edge of the spline groove.

Put the door back into place, setting it into the top of the frame first and then easing into its bottom track, being careful not to damage the rollers.

by Mick Harper

1. What was the title of Freda Payne's 1970 Motown hit?

2. Who was “Edythe Wayne?”

3. Why were photographs of Angelo D'Aleo often missing in snaps of Dion And The Belmonts?

4. Which 1965 pop hit uses the melody from Bach's Minuet In G Major?

5. Name the song that contains this lyric: “Now I've got a guy and his name is Dooley, He's my guy and I love him truly, He's not good lookin', heaven knows, But I'm wild about his crazy clothes.” Bonus: What singer?

Happy New Year!

MEDICARE WORKSHOP INCLUDING A FREE $10 GIFT CERTIFICATE*

Answers 1. Band Of Gold. The song tells of a couple on their honeymoon who end up sleeping in separate rooms.

2. This was the pseudonym of three Motown writers (Lamont Dozier, Brian Holland, and Eddie Holland), who weren't allowed to write under their real names due to a legal dispute.

3. D'Aleo was in the Navy and wasn't always able to get back for photo shoots.

4. A Lover's Concerto, first recorded

by The Toys. The only difference with this recording is the meter.

5. Pink Shoelaces by Dodie Stevens (born Geraldine Ann Pasquale) in 1959.

In the song, Dooley enlisted in the “fightin' corps” but objected when they tried to put him in a uniform. He wanted tan shoes, pink shoelaces, and a polka-dot vest.

Place a number in the empty boxes in such a way that each row across, each column down, and each small 9-box square contains all of the numbers from one to nine.

Clean Slate ne good thing about January 1st is that you get to start all over again. Sometimes, it is good to start over again, if

O

you can?

I remember one of my friends years ago saying to me that he would be glad when that particular year was over. It had been a rather rough year on him it seems and the sooner he could put it behind him the better, he told me.

Well, the next year wasn’t a whole lot better. A month or two later I ran into him and asked if he was doing better in the new year. It was kinda funny he told me, his troubles didn’t stop on December 31st, but continued on into the new year.

His troubles had followed him right into the next year. Try as he might, he could not seem to shake them. I have had that problem myself in times past. January 1st doesn’t necessarily mean you get to start with a clean slate.

As a child, I remember hearing the older folks (I used to say old folks, but now I’m one of them and it just doesn’t sound right anymore) talk about starting a new year. At the time I didn’t quite understand what it all meant. I liked the idea of

starting over again. What I remember hearing them say was that you could start over again with a clean slate.

The fifth grade was not my best year and at the time the idea of not having to deal with those bad grades intrigued me.

So during the Christmas break I came up with this great idea. I thought it was funny though that no one else had ever thought of it. My idea in theory worked perfectly.

When I got back to school after the break I was going to remind Mrs. Baur, my fifth grade teacher about this cleaning your slate at the beginning of each year I had heard the grown ups talk about.

The way I saw it, if Mrs. Baur cleaned off all of the grades and let me start with a clean slate, I wouldn’t have to be under house arrest after report cards came out every six weeks. I had planned it all out.

I would get off the bus and go straight to Mrs. Baur’s class room and explain my new concept.

That cold Monday morning I was up ready to go. It was one of the few mornings I can remember actually being excited about going to school. I was the first kid out of the bus and I ran as hard as I could across the play ground. In my fifth grade

mind I needed to be the first kid in the room. If not, somebody else could have had the same brain storm over the holiday and came up with the same idea and beat me to Mrs. Baur. I was almost out of breath when I topped the stairs and headed into the room. “Mrs. Baur,” I said between gasps of air. Mrs. Baur, was a stately women who did not tolerate a lot of shenanigans from her students. I was excited about my idea and could not wait to explain it to her.

She looked at me over her glasses as she sat at her desk preparing for the day’s work. “You can clean my slate,” I told her as resolute as a fifth grader could.

“I can do what?” Mrs. Baur said back to me.

“Clean my slate, you can clean my slate,” I responded.

She took her glasses off and laid them gently down on her desk and peered straight at me and said, “I have no idea what you are talking about young man.”

With that comment I knew all I had to do was explain to her my revelation over the Christmas break and how simple it would be for her to let me start over with a clean slate of grades.

Winding Roads …by Byron Spires

Needless to say it wasn’t long before I realized why no one else had come up with such an idea. It didn’t work quite like I had figured on.

Thankfully, Mrs. Baur had a sense of humor, that up until that point I did not know existed.

I did manage to make it to the sixth grade, even without my slate being cleaned.

On the first day of school the next year, I was met at the door by Mrs. Davis my sixth grade teacher.

“Are you the boy that wanted his slate cleaned?” she asked me as I walked by with a chuckle in her voice.

Today I would have plead the Fifth Amendment, but back then I just said, “Yes ma’am,” and sat down on the back row.

Arthritis In Dogs

by Sam Mazzotta

Dear Paw’s Corner: My mixedbreed dog Artie recently was diagnosed with age-related arthritis. He takes a pain pill every day, but he still walks stiffly.

Is there any other way I can help him?

Dear Bill: Talk to Artie's vet to make sure the medication he's been given is helping with his joint pain and stiffness.

Yes, there are several things you can do at home to help make his life more comfortable. Get him a new, nicely padded doggie bed and place it away from cold drafts or air-conditioning vents. Consider taking him to a pet massage therapist—and when you do, ask the therapist for massage techniques you can use on Artie at home, between sessions. Daily massage increases blood flow.

Feed Artie a good diet. If he has a weight problem, work with his veterinarian to put together a diet that will help slim him down without depriving him of important nutrients. Consider adding supplements to his diet such as glucosamine and chondroitin, which claim to help lubricate joints and ease

arthritis stiffness. Again, the vet can recommend the best supplement and dose for your dog.

Exercise is very important for dogs suffering from arthritis, but some movement can be difficult. If Artie has trouble getting down the steps outside, consider installing a ramp along the side of the stairs or in another spot so he can walk down more easily. The amount of exercise Artie should get depends on how advanced his condition is, his age and other health factors—and of course, on how much exercise Artie WANTS to get.

Senior Service Line Anxiety Can Trigger Alzheimer’s

by Matilda Charles

any times anxiety is a good thing. It keeps us alert and paying attention in situations where there might be danger or concerns. Then, once the problem has passed, the anxiety fades away.

Anxiety doesn't always disappear, however—and it can have consequences when it doesn't: Chronic anxiety in those who have mild cognitive impairment can increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease, as well as the speed with which it develops. While studies have looked at the link between depression and Alzheimer's, until now there was no research looking at mild cognitive impairment, anxiety, and Alzheimer's.

A recent three-year study in Canada concluded that mild anxiety increased the risk of Alzheimer's by 33 percent.

Moderate anxiety caused a 78 percent increase, and severe anxiety increased the risk by 135 percent. These participants scored low on depression levels.

One of the researchers believes that if patients have memory problems, they also should be screened for anxiety.

M

Anxiety disorders are anxieties that last for six months or more and come with a host of symptoms and names: obsessive-compulsive disorder, social phobia, generalized anxiety disorder, and others. All have different treatments, ranging from drugs to cognitive behavior therapy to psychotherapy. What they have in common is that the faster the treatment, the better the outcome.

If you wonder whether you have an anxiety disorder, the first step is to check in with your doctor. He'll be able to tell whether it's anxiety or a medical condition causing the anxiety.

Once you're getting treatment, the National Institutes of Health has some suggestions. Consider a support group for anxiety issues—even if it's an online chat room—stress management and meditation techniques, and exercise.

Strange But True Rats And Mice Ticklish?

by Samantha Weaver

It was noted Major League Baseball player and manager Yogi Berra who made the following sage observation: “You got to be careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there.”

The Surinam toad method of reproduction is unique in the animal world.

The female releases eggs, and the eggs are fertilized by the male, who then rolls them into holes on the mother's back. Skin soon grows over the holes, offering protection to the eggs as they develop through the tadpole stage. Once the young ones have become toadlets, they literally punch through their mother's skin to emerge on their own into the world.

Popcorn may be indelibly associated with movie theaters these days, but that wasn't always the case; in the early days of the movies, when the films were still silent, popcorn was actually banned in theaters. The first movie theaters were swanky affairs trying to

compete with traditional theaters. The owners didn't want to have popcorn spilled on the fine upholstery and ground into the carpets.

Those who study such things say that one-quarter of all trips made in the United States are less than 1 mile, but three-quarters of those trips still are made by car.

You may be surprised to learn that rats and mice are ticklish—believe it or not—they even laugh!

Mount Wingen, Australia, is home to the world's longest-burning fire. The coal deposits there have been aflame for 6,000 years.

Nobody is really a fan of vacuuming, but did you ever wonder what the most annoying thing about the chore is? Electrolux's Global Vacuuming Survey found it is the noise it makes.

Chicken Soup For The Soul Holidays Heal ike the Christmas before, we didn't send Christmas cards; we called my family in Canada, talked to my mom, uncles and aunts.

Those calls were completed, but I couldn't relax. I still had one more call to make, and I was afraid.

Five years before, I had received an e-mail from my brother. At the time, I had been out of work for several months.

My life was very stressful. My brother's e-mail was nothing terrible, but it made me angry.

I wrote back. As I typed, my anger grew. Months of frustration flowed into my nasty response. I didn't care if I ever heard from him again.

For five years, he tried to get through to me, but I ignored him. I had lived with this terrible guilt.

It was time to fix it. I picked up the phone and stepped outside. I dialed his number. A phone rang 3,700 miles away in Nova Scotia.

There was no answer. I left a message. “Bob, it's Mike.” I paused to take another breath. My hand holding the phone shook. “Bob, I guess I'll

L

start by saying I'm sorry. I said some things I regret. I want to wish you and Delores a Merry Christmas and hope all is well with you. I realize you may not want to talk to me, but I thought I would try. I want to make it right again. If you want to talk...” I left my number.

I walked back into the house and looked at my wife. “I called Bob.” “Oh, honey!” She walked up to me and put her arms around my neck.

“I'm glad. You needed to do it. It's family, Mike, and it's been too long.”

She kissed me. “You did right, hun.”

Christmas came and went. I waited for the call that never came. I prayed for his forgiveness. The phone didn't ring. Then a week after I called, I received an e-mail. In the weeks to follow, we e-mailed back and forth. The healing began.

Why had I let five years of my brother's life slip through my fingers? Since then, we have grown close again. Even though I haven't been able to afford the trip home, we are still family.
