Sweet Land of Liberty... hen Memorial Day came around, it brought to mind memories of the phone call we received from our son, Gary, who had just finished training for duty in the Army. He felt sure he would be going to Vietnam but he called to say that he would be serving in the Old Guard. It was during a time of war and it was a big surprise learning that he would be located in Washington, D.C. Knowing that, we inquired about the Old Guard and were told that those chosen were the “only son of an only son.” (Never knew for sure if that was so, but it fit the bill and was surely easily acceptable to us).

Mission of the Old Guard is to conduct military affairs to honor our comrades, ceremonies, and special events to represent the Army, communicating its story to our citizens and to the world. On order, the Old Guard is to conduct defensive support of civil authorities in the National Capitol region—the White House.

We read that a member of the Old Guard must be between 5’10” and 6’2 with a waist size of no more than 30”… that the tall members, who are in the E division, commit two years to guarding the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. They cannot swear in public for the rest of their lives and cannot disgrace the uniform or the tomb in any way.

The first six months of duty, they cannot talk to anyone nor watch TV. Off duty time is spent studying and memorizing the 175 notable people laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery.

As a member of the A division, Gary’s duties were most often the 21-gun salute, military funerals; marching in parades; cordoning off the streets to allow careful traveling for automobiles of visiting dignitaries. They were also the ones who placed (and removed) the American flags on each grave in Arlington Cemetery for Memorial Day weekend.

One time, when Gary came home on leave, he spent some time at the beach and felt like he got too much sun. He said he had better not be sunburned for that would be considered destroying government property.

That time of Gary’s life comes home to us each year when we see the gravestones at Arlington National Cemetery, graced by

You Name It …by Kitty Maiden U.S. flags on Memorial Day weekend.

While our son was there, I remember seeing a picture of two members of the Old Guard in the newspaper and being absolutely sure that the one on the right was our son. I cut out the picture and kept it handy to show my friends. When Gary came home he said, “That wasn’t me.” Oh, well, I enjoyed the thought.

In time, patriotic holidays like Memorial Day have become long weekends—not only a day to visit lost loved ones at the cemetery, but a family event, an opportunity for getting together, having a picnic, going to the beach, and in many ways, celebrating.

In the midst of all are the sober memories of those who gave their lives serving our country. We give thanks to them for keeping us safe for such a long time.

Now we are coming upon another most important holiday, the day our democracy was born. We claimed our independence from Britain on July 4, 1776. From that day forward, many thousands have left their homelands to join us in the land of the free. This diverse nation, the United States of America, continues to celebrate the July 4th—with 237 years of enjoying the American dream. There are parades, family gatherings, civic affairs, concerts, barbecues, vacations—many ways of enjoying this special time of the year. To all America, let’s make this another Happy Birthday!

There is currently an online request as to whether we think our school children should be saying: “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands.

One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” Indeed they should always have the freedom to do so if we are to continue enjoying the freedoms of this great land of ours.

Lady Bird Deed e use a certain type of deed to transfer title to named beneficiaries upon death of the original owner, without the need for probate. The deed is called a Lady Bird Deed or Enhanced Life Estate Deed. The expression “Lady Bird Deed” is used because the attorney who created this type of deed named it that.

Others have referred to it as an Enhanced Life Estate Deed because it is a unique type of life estate deed.

We do not suggest that clients convey real property to joint ownership with others or outright to others. There are two types of life estate deeds, traditional and Lady Bird, or enhanced life estate. A life estate deed consists of two interests—the life interest and the remainder interest. On both types of life estate deed the life estate holder cannot change the remainder interest holder without that person’s signature. Also on both types of life estate deed, if the remainder interest holder dies, the interest is not eliminated, but goes through probate to that person’s heirs or beneficiaries. In the traditional life estate deed, the life estate interest holder who wants to sell or mortgage the property would require the signature of the remainder interest holders. Judgments against the remainder interest holder in a traditional life estate would be a lien on the property.

Elder Law …by Michael A. Pyle

The Lady Bird Deed provides the benefits of a life estate deed while avoiding some of the difficulties. The difference is that the owner retains all the powers to convey or mortgage the property, and the person holding the remainder interest does not have any rights in the property while the life estate holder is alive. However, with a Lady Bird deed, besides the matters raised above as to life estate deeds, although one can sell or mortgage without the remainder interest holder, sometimes title insurers or lenders still deny that course of action. Also the IRS will pursue the property if the remainder interest holder in a Lady Bird Deed does not pay his or her taxes. But the property will pass directly to the remainder interest holder as soon as the grantor dies, with a step-up in tax base.

If you need assistance with deed preparation, please contact our office.

eg and I often laugh that the best way to get rid of useless things is to save them in a stack on top of the desk. Once the stack gets—out of control, high—we sort the things no longer used or needed and separate them from the things that are useful or needed. I must confess however that I sometimes put them in a separate stack and save them—out of site—behind the office door. Please don’t tell Peg. I mean, you never know—tomorrow they may be useful. Additionally, when they are in the stack behind the door, at least I know where they are.

It’s the same way with clothes. Peg says if you have not worn it for a year, you don’t need to keep it. Maybe I like that tie—maybe one of my boys would like to have it, or maybe a friend —besides ties make good kite tales.

She insists, “It has to go.” She needs the space to put some new used things she bought at the Goodwill store. I get the feeling we are on a ‘things’ merrygo-round. Reminds me of what George Carling used to ask, “Why is my stuff junk and other people’s junk is stuff?”

Don’t get me wrong. I do believe in trash. Every day when I make the trek to the garbage dumpster, I ask myself, “How can two people generate so much trash?” Again I confess, sometimes I go thru the garbage to make sure there isn’t something of value hidden at the bottom. Maybe we should keep that top off of the broken mustard jar just in case we lose one in the future. It has happened.

My solution to this predicament is to put the tossed items in a file box and store them in the bottom of the bedroom closet… but I can’t. The space is already full. I mean you can’t just toss a very comfortable pair of old shoes—besides they’re an unusual shade of brown and I’ve been looking for a suit that same color.

Happy Talk …by George & Peggy Goldtrap

Years back, I had a brother-n-law who saved everything. To be fair, he was a good man and he often gave away various items to someone who needed them… but he had to build a garage just to have a place to store the give-aways. He loved to attend garage sales and loved to buy old tools. He stored them in a drawer packed with screwdrivers, pliers, and thing-a-ma-jigs. We often joked that he never saw a screwdriver he didn’t like.

All this reminds me, I saw something yesterday that needed to be repaired and I knew I had just the thing needed to do the job. I lost half a day looking for it. It’s probably in a box in the bottom of the bedroom closet. I’ve got to label those boxes one of these days.

Oh! I remember now where it is. I threw it out last week.

Well, you know I could go on and on but Peg is rushing me to get going.

I’m going to buy some boxes and she wants me to drop her off at the Goodwill store… and I will if I can find my car keys.

Property Appraiser’s Website his past week, Realty Pros had our quarterly training session.

We were honored to have our new Volusia County Property Appraiser, Larry Bartlett and his Training Coordinator, Becky Jones. Mr. Bartlett opened with, “Property values are up and dark times have passed. There is a new dawn.”

The Property Appraiser’s Office launched a new website early this year. After working with the other one for over 20 years, for me it was like learning Greek. Many agents felt the same way. Mr. Bartlett and Becky were there to help us understand the great benefits of the new site.

Becky took over the meeting in order to teach us how to navigate around the new website. After an insightful and thorough hour of training, the Realtors were excited to understand the changes.

I recommend to my readers to go to http://vcpa.vcgov.org/index.html Personally, I just put in Volusia County Property Appraiser’s Office and it pops up. You know you are at the right place when you see Larry Bartlett’s picture.

There are so many fascinating things to check out. The home page has a search section. Put in your property address, your name, or your short parcel #. You can find out so many things like improvements, a building sketch, a map of the area, and then the coolest is the pictometry button. It is an aerial photo of your property. I looked mine up for fun and I saw that my daughter was home from NYC when they took the picture. Her car was in the driveway.

Real Estate Matters …by Jean Ivis, REALTOR There is Property Tax Estimator and Exemption information. I had never heard of the Conservation Exemption or the Granny Flat Exemption.

When Larry Bartlett ran for the office, I studied the candidates and decided he was the best man for the job. So I called him to see if I could help in his campaign.

He welcomed my help so I held signs and talked to a lot of people.

After the election I called him and said, “Why don’t we have a print button on the website when we look up properties?”

He replied, “Jean, you can hit ALT then P.” My sassy reply was, “That is a pain.

We should have a PRINT button.”

We now have a print button. Truthfully, I think the new website had one coming anyway, but I take the credit.

On another note, I haven’t had much of a response from my readers. Let me encourage you to contact me with questions or feedback. I will be back in 2 weeks.

Celebrating The 4th Fireworks veryone loves fireworks! July 4th is one of the most prevalent times for the enjoyment of the loud and colorful party favors.

No childhood would be complete without a memory of the night sky exploding with a kaleidoscope of color and light.

Fireworks were originally invented in medieval China in the 9th century to scare away evil spirits. Such important events and festivities as Chinese New Year and the MidAutumn Moon Festival were and still are times when fireworks are guaranteed sights.

China is the largest manufacturer and exporter of fireworks in the world. Colored fireworks were invented in Europe in the 1830s. Modern skyrocket fireworks were invented in the early 20th century.

So as the sun goes down and the bugs start buzzing your ears, grab that can of bug spray and a sparkler—and visit your local fireworks display. It is just not July 4th unless you have enjoyed the excitement and sounds of the boom! Don’t forget the ice cream!

Below are some of the fireworks in our area.

Page10—Seniors Today—June 29, 2018 Vacation Time–Request A House Watch ummertime is a great time to have fun and leave home to visit family, friends, or new places. It’s also a good time to plan ahead to protect your home while you’re on vacation.

I encourage everyone who plans to travel to take a few simple steps to prevent crimes of opportunity when you go away. You can start by signing up for our free House Watch program, established to help make sure your home remains secure while you’re out of town.

Under our House Watch program, volunteer members of our Citizen Observer Program (C.O.P.) will check on your home as often as possible while you’re away—once or even twice a day, but at least several times a week. Do it for your peace of mind!

We offer two different types of house watches: A “drive-by” house watch involves the volunteers observing your house from the street. We’ll look for anything suspicious—broken windows or other signs of entry, newspapers piling up, or anything else that signals a home is unoccupied. Or, we can do a “physical walk-around” house watch.

The volunteer walks around your house looking for signs that something might be out of place.

For a physical house watch, homeowners must make sure there are no obstacles that will prevent our volunteers from checking on your home, such as a locked gate. The observers will not enter porches or try to open doors or windows. To initiate a house watch, homeowners must complete a house watch request form. This form helps us know how to reach you if there’s a problem at your house, as well as contact your designated key holder who lives locally and can respond quickly to your home if necessary.

Homeowners can take other precautions to keep your home safe, such as making sure your lawn gets mowed regularly, newspaper delivery is canceled, lights are set on timers. Of course, double- and triple-check to make sure all doors and windows are properly secured when you leave. Secure any vehicles you’re leaving at home, removing all valuables, and spare sets of keys.

Summer’s a great time to get away for a change of scenery. It’s important to take time to practice good crime prevention. Don’t leave your house vulnerable to criminals who are looking to steal what doesn’t belong to them.

Thank you for using our House Watch program and helping us keep our communities safe. Here’s how to access the House Watch request form:

In addition to performing skin biopsies, liquid nitrogen treatments, and excisions on our mobile unit we now offer a method of superficial radiation therapy for the treatment of skin cancer. Depending on the patient and type of cancer, superficial radiation is often times superior to surgery in many ways. It is painless, has less side effects and often times is more cosmetically appealing than surgery.

DOTS is proud to serve communities such as The Cloisters, Woodland Towers, Grace Manor, Lexington Place, and Bishop’s Glen in addition to many others in the surrounding area.

Antiques

Life has never looked better at...

Alphabet Man very child has to learn the alphabet before learning to read, so some toys for those under 5 years old have been teaching toys.

Blocks were the first. The oldest mention of alphabet blocks was in 1693 in England.

Blocks with letters and pictures were not available for most families until 1820 when large numbers of sets were made in a factory. Well-to-do young girls educated in the 18th century learned the alphabet while sewing samplers. They had to be able to stitch identification on all the family linens when they married. Most toys were made to teach religion, like a carved wooden Noah's ark, or to teach a skill like cooking using a toy stove, pots, and pans. Toy makers created a few teaching toys, cards with letters, and cloth alphabet books.

A rare, famous teaching toy is the Alphabet Man or Yankee Schoolmaster. The 10inch-tall iron figure of a man had an arm that moved when a lever was pushed. The man blinked his eyes, raised his left arm, and pointed to a hole high on his chest. A letter appeared and the student had to name it. The man is dressed like a schoolmaster and looks like a stern teacher. No one knows who made this complicated toy that was patented in 1884. Why his right arm is held behind his back and his index finger is pointing to the side. Several of the men

have sold in the past decade. The pictured toy with some missing paint sold at Bertoia Auctions in New Jersey for $23,600. *** Q: I have my mother's antique satin wedding dress from 1931. It's in perfect condition.

I would like to know if it's worth anything or if anyone would want it.

A: Yes, there is interest in old wedding dresses and gowns. You could donate it to a local historical museum or an organization that will resell it for a charitable cause. You could sell it to a vintage clothing store. Or it could be turned into something else. Old wedding dresses can be used to make christening gowns or bride or princess outfits for small children who like to play dress-up.

The fabric can be repurposed to make pillows or enclosed in a locket, frame, or Christmas ornament. It can be used to make scarves, decorate baby blankets, bassinet skirts, or wedding or baby photograph albums.

ave you ever wondered how much water your dog needs each day? Do you assume he’ll drink precisely the amount he needs if you give him free access to fresh clean water at all times?

Keeping an eye on your pet’s water consumption is important because too little can result in dehydration, urinary tract issues like kidney stones, and organ failure. Drinking too much water can actually be toxic.

Also, the amount of water your dog drinks can be an indicator of an underlying illness.

Dogs with pancreatitis, parvovirus, or leptospirosis tend not to drink much water, but a brewing bladder infection, other types of infection, or a metabolic problem such as Cushing's disease, and diabetes can cause excessive thirst and water consumption. So, if your pet is drinking less or more water than normal, you should have her checked by your veterinarian to rule out an underlying condition.

How much water your dog needs each day depends on his size, diet, age, activity level, and weather conditions.

A good general guideline is that a healthy dog should drink between ½ and 1 ounce of water per pound of body weight each day.

So, a healthy 65-pound Labrador Retriever should be drinking between about 33 and 65 ounces, or about ¼ to ½ gallon of water daily.

If your dog is eating a moisture-rich, species-appropriate diet, she’s getting some of her water needs met with each meal, so she may not drink as much from her water bowl. If she’s eating primarily dry dog food (which I don’t recommend), she may actually need more than the average daily intake to compensate for the lack of moisture.

Puppies need to drink small amounts of water every couple of hours and should be closely monitored and encouraged to drink.

If your dog is very active, it’s a good idea to have water with you when he exercises so that you can give him frequent short water breaks.

To determine if your dog may need more water, lift some skin at the back of her neck and let it go. If your dog is well hydrated, the skin will fall quickly back into place.

The skin of a dehydrated dog will fall more slowly and form sort of a tent. Another method is to check your dog’s gums. Moist, slick gums indicate a good level of hydration; dry or sticky gums mean your pet’s body needs more water.

The medical term for the desire to drink too much water is called psychogenic polydipsia. Symptoms of over-hydration (water intoxication) include staggering/loss of coordination, lethargy, nausea, bloating, vomiting, dilated pupils, glazed eyes, light gum color, and excessive salivation. In severe cases, there can also be difficulty breathing, collapse, loss of consciousness, seizures, coma, and death.

Help For Over Or Under-Drinkers If your dog tends to overindulge in the wet stuff, make sure you’re there to supervise his activity. The bodily condition that occurs when dogs over-consume water is

www.AffordableHomeCare.org

Totally Insured & Bonded • Florida License #HCS 5005

called hyponatremia (or inadequate levels of sodium in the bloodstream). It is most commonly seen in dogs who like to stay in the lake, pond, or pool all day; pets that lap or bite at the water continuously while playing in it; and dogs that swallow water unintentionally as they dive for a ball or other toy.

If he’s retrieving a ball or other toy from the water, insist on frequent rest breaks and be especially vigilant on days when the water is rough.

Familiarize yourself with the symptoms of water intoxication and monitor your dog’s appearance and behavior when he’s playing in water.

If your dog doesn’t drink enough water, make sure to praise her and give her a treat whenever she drinks from her water bowl, and place fresh water close by.

Finally, if you’re feeding dry dog food, switch to canned and then to a balanced raw diet to greatly increase the amount of water your pet is getting from each meal.

June 29, 2018—Seniors Today—Page13 Life Of Marci—Part 2, Chapter 3 arci was brought into the hospital that evening and taken straight to a room in the west wing on the second floor. The orderly took her suitcase and laid it on one of the two beds in the room and walked out leaving Marci alone.

She went to the bed chosen for her and sat down. The room had only one small window which was located between the two beds. There was a metal end table with a glass electric lamp sitting on top of it with a dull white lamp shade.

The walls of the room were a pale yellow and the room was no more than 10 feet wide and 12 feet long. The ceilings were high like the Dalton house, but Marci still felt cramped in such a small room.

As she sat on the side of the bed, she could hear people moving about in the hallway. Those sounds continued while she sat in the room alone until they became so monotonous that she no longer could hear them.

With her feet still on the floor Marci let herself fall backwards across the bed. She laid there with her head partially hanging off the other side of the bed and alternately staring at the slated ceiling and glancing out the window of her room at the darkening sky outside.

Her melancholy mood began to take over and all she could think about was losing the only real love in her life, Isaiah, Sr. Cora Mae and Dr. Wilhoit had talked to her about the way she felt and she did understand that Isaiah, Jr. had been a product of the love she had for his father, but each day the hole that had been left by Isaiah, Sr.’s death in her heart had grown larger.

Like a giant wave the grief she felt would nearly overcome her and leave her breathless then subside and start all over again.

Her thoughts were interrupted, when she heard Dr. Wilhoit’s voice as he spoke to someone in the hall just outside her door.

Dr. Wilhoit had been with her throughout the birth of Isaiah, Jr. and the death of Isaiah, Sr. and for that she had felt close to him. Even hearing his voice did not move her like it once had done. She continued to lay across the bed even when he entered the room.

Dr. Wilhoit entered the room and could see Marci laying across the bed. He walked to the foot of the bed and stood there for a few seconds waiting to see if Marci would sit up. When she did not, he spoke.

“Young lady, you need to sit up and we need to talk,” he told her.

Marci had been a difficult case for Dr. Wilhoit. It had been a hard delivery which had taxed his skills and now with her deep depression he was treading on an area he was unprepared to deal with.

Marci slowly sat up on the side of the bed and looked up at Dr. Wilhoit.

One thing he did know about Marci was that she was grieving about the loss of her husband and there was little but time, that would help her heal from that emotional wound. What had perplexed him was the missing joy of having a healthy child. Marci did not seem to be able to get a grasp the fact she had brought another human being into the world, something

M

Winding Roads …by Byron Spires

wonderful, Dr. Wilhoit had seen hundreds of times over the years.

There was a single chair by the door and Dr. Wilhoit stepped over and picked it up sitting it by Marci’s bed where he could face her. As he sat down he looked at her trying to make eye contact. Marci would not look at him directly.

For a few seconds the two of them just sat there.“I don’t want to scare you Marci, but we need to get you out of this depression and back at home where you can start raising Isaiah, Jr.” he said to her.

It was not that Marci did not want to say something or that she did not want to get better and do exactly what Dr. Wilhoit had said. She just could not respond. Her mind and body seemed to be out of sync with each other and words would not come.

Shaking his head at no response from Marci and the hollow stare he could see.

There seemed to be little he could do at that point, he thought.

I’m going to keep you here in the hospital for a few days and make sure that you are eating well. If we cannot snap you out of this, my only alternative will be to send you over to the Florida State Hospital in Chattahoochee, where they have folks trained to help you,” Dr. Wilhoit said as he looked at his pocket watch.

“I’ve got to make some more visits here in the hospital I’ll stop in tomorrow morning and we’ll talk again,” he said as he placed the chair back at the door and walked into the hall.

Shortly after Dr. Wilhoit left the room, a nurse entered and went straight to Marci.

“Dr. Wilhoit just told me to come in here and get you ready for bed,” the nurse said as she reached and grabbed Marci’s hand. Marci did not resist her and was soon in her night gown and tucked into bed.

“Now you just lay there and try to get some sleep, Mrs. Dalton will be here early in the morning with your son and the morning nurse will get you up and ready about 6 o’clock,” the nurse said as she bent over and turned the lamp out that sat on the night table by the bed. “By the way, there will be someone in the other bed tomorrow,” the nurse said as she closed the door behind her.

Marci lay there in the dark room and pulled the bed covers up tight around her neck with only her head being exposed. She held onto the sheet with all of her strength until her hands could no longer hold the grasp. It was the first tinges of anger now that she felt. She was angry because her husband was dead and she could do nothing about it but lie in a hospital room alone with so much grief in her heart.

She could finally feel herself slowly drifting off to sleep and she prayed that her dreams would be about her husband and their life together.
