Florida, Our Second Home

F

amily members found their way to Daytona’s beaches on the big th weekend of the 4 of July. They come from all over to breathe the air, feel the ocean spray, and laze around on the sand until time to find their favorite place to eat. For many, this becomes habitual. It is the greatest place in the world to relax, if one knows how.

I remember those days when we came as visitors so well. When we came here for the second time, the atmosphere took its toll on me and we moved here soon after.

That was many years ago… long enough to make me almost feel like a native. When anyone asked why I wanted to move, my answer to friends was, “I love to go to the beach.” As true as that statement is, I rarely go to the beach… but I know it’s there whenever I take a notion.

First thing I did, on our permanent arrival, was read God Has A Long Face, all about the early years of Daytona Beach.

Next I began to seek interesting sights to see and spent some time at the Inlet watching the shrimp boats come in. Ponce Inlet Lighthouse is the second one built here and has been standing since 1887. It is the tallest lighthouse in Florida and the second tallest in the United States.

Next I went to the Museum and spent an afternoon in the Planetarium. It was awesome. Very soon I was into a mainstream lifestyle and just enjoyed the memories of our early adventures.

You

Name It …by Kitty Maiden It’s was a long, exciting weekend for race fans. Practice took place on Thursday, July 3 and was followed by the Subway Firecracker 250. Then on July 4th, “The NASCAR Nationwide Series regulars faced off against Sprint Cup Series stars for 100 laps under the lights—all in pursuit of that coveted Daytona victory.” The big race Coke Zero 400 was on July 5th this year.

Dubbed “…a summer tradition as American as fireworks and cookouts,” and offered an incredible display of fireworks.

The value and ease of going to the races has changed dramatically over the years.

No more waiting in the hot car in traffic.

The Speedway’s operations are constantly upgrading. I’m amazed at how many area parking lots are owned by DIS and alleviate the former traffic problems.

Residents used to plan holidays close to home when visitors outnumbered them… or they’d plan timely family visits. Actually I still do that.

I hope you had a wonderful 4th and will enjoy a fabulous summer on our many miles of beach!

Do It Yourself Estate Planning

S

ome people try to save money by preparing legal documents on their own, or with the aid of do-it-yourself books or computer programs, and sometimes their pennypinching results in their wishes not being upheld.

The laws of most states set forth specific requirements to make various legal documents valid. Individuals without legal background in real estate law often make mistakes by preparing deeds without attorneys. Problems may include errors in the legal description, omitting required signers of the deed, omitting language required to say how the recipient holds title, or failing to meet proper witness and acknowledgment requirements. Some such errors can make a deed invalid, and some can make a deed voidable.

The laws involving execution of wills, trusts, and other documents that pass estates after death are much more detailed and complicated. Hand-written documents generally are not valid. People often do not answer questions on computer-based estate planning software correctly, or do not have the document signed, witnessed, and notarized correctly, resulting in the attempt being completely invalid and ineffective.

A recent Florida Supreme Court case, Aldrich vs. Basile, involves a decedent who used software, and stated that specific assets would pass to a person, and if that

Ten Years, 10,000 Successful Treatments

person did not survive, would pass to another person. The decedent failed to have a “residuary” clause. That is, the will only listed specific items, and did not say that anything else would pass to a beneficiary.

Thus the will was ineffective as to another asset that was not listed. Then the decedent tried to amend the will by simply writing a note, which was not witnessed, and that amendment was also ineffective.

If you want to know that a legal document will be upheld, it is wise to use an attorney qualified in the specific area of law to prepare the documents rather than trying to scrimp, and possibly costing you or your heirs much more in the long run.

At Vein Treatment Center—Our experienced physicians provide on site Diagnostic Duplex Ultrasound allowing for specific treatments and procedures individualized for each patient.

Varicose veins may be a challenge, but they can be resolved easily with minimally invasive, outpatient procedures.

ow nice it is to see a huge American flag spotlighted atop a high building, over a business, or adorning local thoroughfares. Yes... the flag belongs at the park, the post office, and heading a parade.

It can also fly at home, and home, according to one American patriot, is ‘wherever you hang the flag.’

For a while it seemed the flag was an endangered species. Remember the steady decline of respect for ‘Ole Glory’ during the Vietnam era? Folks seemed to delight in embarrassing the nation with their public displays of disrespect. Most of that has faded. Each new July 4 celebration seems to help. Flag raising should never be flag “razing!”

Why would you fly a flag?

For the same reason you might want to wear a college or wedding ring. Pride!

You have made a commitment. It makes a statement about your thinking, your intent, and your freedom.

Contrary to what you may have heard of late, the record holds that America is exceptional. She makes daily contributions to the betterment of the world. Under the stars and stripes America has accepted the world's tired and poor, its huddled masses yearning to be free... its homeless, tempest tossed.

Even people who hate the U.S. want to live here. Freedom has been a powerful tool in this exceptional accomplishment.

Our medical system has taught us the value of a healthy body. Americans jog 28 million miles daily... seven times the distance of our national roadways. Life span has jumped from 38 to 78 years, and thousands of Americans live to see. We've conquered diphtheria, small pox, typhoid, measles, TB, pneumonia, and polio, and we're gaining on hepatitis, sickle cell anemia, MS, MD, cancer, and aids. People around the world are alive today due to our work on the heart-lung machine, dialysis, and the CAT scan. Dentists are putting themselves out of business with better dental care and toothpaste. Just a few years ago people would have died of diseases that are now eliminated or controlled with something as simple as a vaccination.

The American Red Cross stands as a beacon in the distribution of safe blood products. We refill 2,000 people every day.

In 1908 manure fleas brought on a cholera epidemic that killed 20,000. This threat in now virtually nonexistent. We are cleanliness conscious due to constantly rising sanitation standards. Sanitation is 10 billion-dollar industry.

The fight for cleaner air is due in part to the free press. We’ve learned what dirty

Happy Talk …by George & Peggy Goldtrap air does to our health. Who would have thought just a few years ago that smokers would be in the minority and that the pollution it creates would be unwelcome in public areas?

Years ago a German biologist predicted that 1970 would be a year of starvation for the world. Thanks to free enterprise farming, it didn't happen. The year yielded ‘bumper' crops in an America with only 6 percent of the world’s land surface and with less that 3 percent of us as farmers. Our marketplace yields almost endless choices, the result of free agriculture. Food is so abundant we now throw out or share with others, 200,000 tons of eatable food daily. The late Dr. Dixy Lee Ray, former governor of a northwestern state once said, “For the first time in history we take for granted that food will be available whenever we wish to buy it.” What other nations can boast with an almost 100 percent guarantee that their public water supply, in even the smallest hamlet, will be safe?

Sure there's a lot more to be done. Just walk through the children's ward of any hospital... or through the geriatric ward or through a long term care nursing facility.

It'll tear at your heart. Remember, everything is relative to time and time marches on. In America it marches fearlessly.

America is beautiful, clean, and healthy.

She has her problems, but problems are fraught with opportunity and opportunity and freedom go well together. America's not perfect. I wouldn’t argue otherwise, but, until recently we haven’t had to build walls to keep citizens in. America is great because America is good. If she ceases to be good —she’ll cease to be great!

Recently, I read of a homeowners association that told an elderly vet he couldn’t fly his flag. He told’em to jump in the proverbial lake. Good for him. Cases like that have already been tried, and the ‘no fly’ zones were deemed anti free speech. Thank you judges.

Fly a flag for freedom. Be proud of our heritage. Not just on holidays, but year round. Now that would really be exception.

What’s In The Stars

For The Week Of July 7

ere’s a healthy idea: Let your feet help your heart and improve your well-being. Doctors say walking five days a week for 30 minutes at a time may lower your chances of high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes. Walking may also make your bones and muscles stronger, burn calories and lift your mood.

To start a walking program—or just to walk more—try some tips from the brochure Walking: A Step In The Right Direction from the Weight-control Information Network (WIN), a national information service of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health: Focus On Fun • Walk in places you enjoy, such as a park or shopping center. Make sure that it is safe to do so.

• Bring along a friend or family member to chat with or listen to some of your favorite music as you walk. Keep the volume low so that you can hear noises around you.

Be Safe • Walk with others, when possible, and take a phone and ID with you.

Celebrate Your Progress • Keep track of your efforts with a journal or log. Record date, time, and distance.

• Set goals and then reward yourself with something like 30 minutes of quiet time to yourself.

For more health and happiness, it can help to take a walk with friends every day.

Antiques Beer Cans

by Larry Cox

Q: I began collecting beer cans a number of years ago when I found a Denver Beer can at an area dump site.

I discovered that it was a product of the Tivoli Brewery, which no longer exists.

That inspired me to see how many other beer cans I could find from defunct breweries, and I currently have more than 200. How can I determine current values, and is there a club for collectors you can recommend?

—Steve, via e-mail A: Beer can collecting has really come into its own since the 1970s.

Even though most cans sell at flea markets for about a dollar a can, there are always exceptions. A Krueger Cream Ale from Newark can command more than $200. Other brands popular with collectors include Gettelman Beer of Milwaukee; Country Club Beer, St. Joseph, Missouri; E&B Special Beer, Ekhardt, and Becker Brewing of Detroit; and most cone tops, such as General Pulaski of the Pulaski Brewery of Hammonton, New Jersey. To

determine values, one of the better beer can referencing sites is www. ebeer cans.com I also recommend you contact the Brewery Collectibles of America (BCCA), 747 Merus Court, Fenton, MO 63026; http://bcca.com *** Q: I have a copy of Time magazine from 1951, the year in review issue.

Gen. Douglas MacArthur is on its cover, and it is in fairly good condition. How much do you think it is worth?

—Don, Gulfport, MS A: Special time capsule issues are always especially interesting, and 1951 was an incredible year: Harry Truman was president; Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed for treason; color TV was introduced; and African Queen was one of the top films of the year. I checked with several reputable collectors, who seem to agree that your magazine is worth about $15—assuming it is in good condition.

Pola Negri Reviewed by Larry Cox ne of the first truly great movie stars of the early American film industry was a former ballerina who overcame an impoverished childhood in Poland and a bout with tuberculosis to become legendary and celebrated throughout the world.

Pola Negri was born in 1897 in Vistula Land in present-day Poland.

Later, after being accepted into the Imperial Ballet of Warsaw, she was diagnosed with tuberculosis, which ended her dancing career. She next turned to acting and worked in Europe with such heavy hitters as Ernst Lubitsch and Max Reinhardt. She arrived in the United States in 1922 and made her first American film, Bella Donna. Its success led to a lucrative contract at Paramount, where she began to establish herself as a major film personality.

Negri rented a large, Tudor-style mansion and began exhibiting her flair for the exotic and eccentric. For example, she often was seen around Los Angeles in her chauffeur-driven limo,

My chauffeur wore all-white uniforms on sunny days and all black when it rained. I used a white-fur lap rug and was usually seen with two white Russian wolf hounds.”

She occasionally was seen strutting her stuff on the streets of Beverly Hills draped in either ermine or mink with her pet tiger in tow.

After Rudolph Valentino went to Paris to finalize his divorce with Natacha Rambova, Negri and the star became an item. His sudden death in 1926 ended that relationship, and she became even more intriguing as the original woman in black.

This crisply written, meticulously researched biography Pola Negri: Hollywood's First Femme Fatale documents one of Hollywood's most fascinating film stars, and also explores the link between Hollywood and European cinema during the interwar years.

Moments In Time July 4, 1776!

O

n July 4, 1776, in Philadelphia, the Continental Congress adopts the Declaration of Independence, which proclaims the independence of a new United States of America from Great Britain. The declaration came 442 days after the first shots of the American Revolution.

On July 1, 1916, 25-year-old Army Lt. Dwight D. Eisenhower marries 19-yearold Mamie Geneva Doud. He would go on to lead the Allies to victory in Europe in World War II and later become the nation's 34th president. The couple lived in 33 homes during Eisenhower's 37-year military career.

On July 6, 1933, Major League Baseball's first All-Star Game takes place at Comiskey Park in Chicago. The event was designed to bolster the sport during the darkest years of the Great Depression. Fans who could afford tickets went from the box seats to the bleachers, which cost 50 cents.

On June 30, 1953, the first production Corvette is built at the General Motors

facility in Flint, Michigan. All 300 Corvettes were white convertibles with red interiors and black canvas tops. The 1953 Corvette was outfitted with a six-cylinder engine and a two-speed automatic transmission.

On July 5, 1975, Arthur Ashe defeats the favored Jimmy Connors to become the first black man ever to win Wimbledon. While the confident Connors strutted around the tennis court, Ashe rested between sets. Finally, with the shocked crowd cheering him on, Ashe finished Connors off in the fourth set, 6-4.

On July 3, 1985, the blockbuster Back To The Future, starring Michael J. Fox, opens in theaters. The time-travel device in the film was a DeLorean DMC-12 sports car outfitted with a nuclear reactor that would achieve the 1.21 gigawatts of power necessary to travel through time.

On July 2, 1990, a stampede of religious pilgrims in a pedestrian tunnel in Mecca leaves more than 1,400 people dead. This was the most deadly of a series of incidents over 20 years affecting Muslims making the trip to Mecca. Hundreds die each year in this pilgrimage, in stonings, stampedes, or fires.

e just celebrated the Fourth of July and we are celebrating the 238 anniversary of an incredible experiment we call participatory democracy. This experiment instilled in the American Psyche a need to participate not only the governance of the nation; but each state, local community and ultimately each individual citizen. Sadly, it wasn’t until August 18, 1920 that women were given equal participation when they were given the right to vote. When they were, it changed the very fabric of American Society. Women now not only dictate the political agenda in our country, but, because of their education and job opportunities, they have dominated the social agenda as well.

Defining the structure of family life, women have also shaped the nature of health care. They have done this in a profound way: they participate in the process of wellness. Because women have always been the first provider of food for every newborn, they have a unique understanding of food as medicine. As an extension of being involved in prenatal and postnatal nutrition, especially with prenatal supplements, these women are comfortable with making nutritional decisions that affect themselves, their children, and their family.

Love Wholefood Markets and Cafes have been serving these women for the last twenty seven years. Not comfortable with the disease model of medicine, these women read the medical literature that suits their pro-active involvement in managing their health.

Love Whole Foods has been providing that information through seminars, literature, and books since the day we opened. It is exciting to witness the evolution of medicine from one of allopathic drug therapy to one best described as functional medicine.

The new medical model embraces two real changes. One: use medical testing to find out the underlying cause of disease. Don’t use drugs to simply mask the symptoms presented. Two: embrace a variety of disciplines to meet a fundamental goal of total wellness. Acupuncture, reflexology, Bowen work, and chiropractic are all here to stay because they work. They work because they address the key to good health: maintain the balance of mind, body, and spirit.

Here is an example of just one outstanding woman who has changed medicine forever: Dr. Marita Schauch,

B-Sc/N.D. Dr. Schauch graduated from the college of Naturopathic Medicine and now practices in Vancouver, Canada. Her book called Making Sense Of Women’s Health was a stepping stone to partnering with Natural Factors unique product line called Womens Sense. This line features a multi-disciplinary approach to restoring balance to women (and men) in a world where emotional, physical, and nutritional stress are simply a reality of our turbo charged society.

Dr. Schauch simply took the medical data and applied Natural Factor nutraceuticals to eliminate the symptoms by restoring and then maintaining our bodies’ natural ability to stay balanced.

Natural Factors Womens Sense is whole group of formulas utilizing adaptrogenic herbs/plant extracts and vitamin/mineral supplements. They are clinically tested to be used alone or together.

My four favorites are: • Adrena Sense: Fight stress and fatigue and keep energy flowing without crashing. Critical in the perimenopause phase.

• ThyroSense: Provides total support of the gland responsible for weight control, mood, and cancer prevention.

• MenoSense: Balance estrogen and control hot flashes and mood swings.

• EstroSense: This is my favorite. It scoops out excess estrogen compounds found everywhere in our environment. Excellent cancer protection for both men and women.

To celebrate women’s independence, Love Whole Foods is offering the entire Women’s Sense family of products at substantial saving of up to: 25 percent off! As always, we have support medical literature and trained staff at both our locations to help select the right product or combination of products to help you restore balance and vitality to your life.

Want to make your life really go “KaBoom?” Buy any two Natural Factors products and get a copy of Dr. Schauch’s book FREE (a $25.00 value) while supplies last. Now were talkin’ real independence.

Mitch Booth is the owner of Loves Whole Foods in Ormond Beach, 275 Williamson Blvd. and Port Orange, 1633 Taylor Road —the area’s largest organic and gluten free food stores.

Tails From The Front o you have a fat cat at home?

We often talk about exercising with our dogs, but of course, our feline friends need exercise and entertainment too. More than half the cats in the United States are considered overweight or obese, according to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention. There are plenty of things you can do right in your own home to keep your cat fit and healthy.

When looking at a cat that is a healthy weight, you should be able to see or feel a slightly thinner waist between the ribs and hips. You can also place your hands along your cat’s chest. If you can feel its ribs with-

out a thick layer of fat covering them, your cat is likely to be at or near a healthy weight.

You can always check with your veterinarian to get a more accurate determination of your cat’s weight and health.

The reason many cats are overweight is simple—they eat too much food and do not get enough exercise. Obesity can raise the risk of diabetes, skin conditions, fatty liver disease, and urinary tract disorders for cats.

For many cats, the solution is not as simple as just placing your cat on a diet. This can actually have negative effects as well.

Many studies have shown that high-protein, low-carb foods are much healthier for cats, which are considered carnivores. If

your cat is overweight, try weaning them away from dry foods, especially those high in grains, in favor of canned foods or a raw food diet. These foods are closer to what a cat would eat naturally. Work on creating a feeding schedule for your cat instead of allowing them to eat from an always-filled bowl of food.

Exercise is also a key factor for your cat’s health. Cats generally do not get enough exercise on their own, especially as they get older. You can help by interacting with your cat and playing games with her to keep her active. Cats are highly motivated by prey, so using toys and games that mimic these interactions will be most effective.

Laser toys are usually very entertaining for cats.

You can create a “hockey rink” for your cat by placing them inside a large cardboard box or a bathtub with a ping-pong ball. Toys that fly like a bird or scamper like a mouse will also be enjoyed by your cat. Playing these games for a few minutes at a time, a few times each day will have a great impact on your cat’s physical fitness.

any seniors have only Social Security for income when they retire: 22 percent of married couples and 47 percent of unmarried people have no additional income.

Maybe it's a matter of not having saved over the years, or maybe it's having lost everything in recent years due to layoffs and unemployment.

If you have five more years until retirement, there are steps you can take now to make living on only Social Security a bit easier.

• Clear off your debts, especially your credit cards and vehicle. If possible, pay off your home or at least get the balance down. Keep your credit score high in case you need a loan for a large purchase—the interest rate will be lower.

• If you own your home, look at long-term maintenance. If you'll need a new roof in the next five years, do it before you retire. The same goes for big-ticket items like appliances, central air conditioning, and furnace.

• If you're willing to move, investigate states that don't tax Social Secu-

rity income and/or have a lower cost of living.

Assume that retirement won't mean actual retiring. Be prepared to take a part-time job somewhere. You'll be able to earn a bit before it cuts into your Social Security benefit at the rate of one dollar for every two you make.

The Social Security Administration no longer sends out the annual statement of earnings, but you can get a ballpark estimate online of what your future income will be. You can open a MyAccount, or you can use one of the calculators to estimate.

Before you make the jump and quit work, do a test experiment for at least six months. Spend only the amount you would receive under Social Security.

Create a strict budget and stay with it.

Can you do it? It will be better to know sooner rather than later.

Pet Care Kids Helping Animals

by Sam Mazzotta

Dear Paw’s Corner: I read your column on volunteering at pet shelters and for other organizations. All great, but many shelters don't let anyone under 16, and sometimes 18, volunteer to work with the pets. However, for kids who want to help pets in some way, there are still some great ways to do so! They can organize or join fundraisers at their school or church, and donate the funds to local shelters or pet-welfare organizations. There are so many different ways to raise money, and that's what most animal-care groups need: cash!

—Cheering Mom in Virginia Dear Mom: Great idea! Raising funds can be as easy as participating in a walk for animal welfare (like the Wiggle Waggle Walk in Pasadena, California). Or kids can think of things to make and sell for a fundraising drive, like the two grade-schoolers in Kingston,

New York, who raised money for the SPCA through a church project.

“They were given $10 and asked to use it to make more money for a charity. Tyler made labor intensive bracelets and donated $75, and Caelin made dog biscuits and donated $450,” Marie Shultis of the Ulster County SPCA said.

The shelter is looking at starting a youth entrepreneurial group to help other kids learn about fundraising, and plans to develop workshops for teen volunteers to teach young people about how to care for animals.

So, even if a local shelter doesn't have a lot of accessible events or volunteer opportunities, kids can come up with great ideas to help them anyway. Parents, educators, church-group leaders, and other youth leaders can help foster the spirit of volunteering and provide guidance.

Veteran’s Post

Veterans Return In Coffin

King Features

H

undreds, perhaps thousands of foreign-born U.S. military veterans who have been convicted of crimes and served their time in prison have been deported, despite living legally in the U.S. since childhood. They are dumped in the country of their birth— a country they may have no memory of, where a language they may not understand is spoken.

What kept those service members from filing for American citizenship when they could have, five years after getting a green card? One theme stands out: Many were told by recruiters and at boot camp that U.S. citizenship was automatic when they were honorably discharged from the military. Others came back from service overseas in no shape, physically or mentally, to deal with bureaucracy.

Where do we draw the line with deporting veterans? Immigrant lawbreakers who are not veterans are routinely deported for serious crimes. Does being a veteran and putting your life

on the line for this country count for anything after you pay your debt to society? For a U.S. citizen, you do your time and you go free.

What of the crimes these deportee veterans commit? Should a line be drawn to distinguish between nonviolent and violent crimes? Felonies can include any number of crimes, some more serious than others. Some misdemeanors can be interpreted as aggravated felonies when it comes to immigration and deportation.

Deported veterans can't come back —until they're dead. If they were discharged under honorable conditions, they qualify for burial in a veterans cemetery and the government will kick in $300 to have the body returned. Veterans still qualify for benefits, but they can't get here to claim them.

To learn more, go online and research “veterans deported.” Look up immigration-law expert Margaret Stock, and read some of the stories she tells.

Strange But True Coffee For Depression?

by Samantha WeaverS

You might be surprised to learn that the hamburger didn't originate in the United States. In fact, it was early Turkic people called the Tatars who first came up with the idea. When they had low-quality beef, they discovered that shredding it and patting it back together improved the flavor and texture.

If for some reason you have a hankering to see the world's biggest tire, you'll need to head to Detroit (fittingly, I suppose). Located near the Detroit Metro Airport, the 80-foot Uniroyal tire weighs in at a whopping 12 tons. This attraction was created for the 1964 World's Fair in New York, where it served not only as an advertisement for the Uniroyal brand, but also as a Ferris wheel for the entertainment of attendees. In 1998, the company created the world's largest nail—measuring 11 feet —and used it to pierce the giant tire.

It was another advertising stunt, of course; this time to promote Uniroyal's puncture-resistant tire.

If you're like the average American, you will eat between 25 and 30 pounds of apples this year.

There is a species of frog found in Australia with an odd method of reproduction. It lays eggs like other frogs, but this particular frog keeps the eggs in its stomach, hatching them internally.

When the baby frogs are fully developed, they emerge into the world via the adult frog's mouth.
