hen planning a visit to my daughter’s home in Georgia, I spent some time thinking about what she would like for as gift. In this day and time, it is almost impossible to know what to get—but when the gift is for a person you’ve known all your life you have a slight edge. Norman Rockwell… hmmm…. always her favorite artist. Now, how can the works of Norman Rockwell be found? I rushed to the computer and searched for information about the Saturday Evening Post. Rockwell’s work always appeared in the Post and surely there would be a link from there. What I found was everything you’d ever want to know about Rockwell and the magazine! I promptly forgot the reason for the search and explored the history of the Saturday Evening Post. It first appeared on August 4, 1821 as a four-page newspaper published by Atkinson & Alexander. There were no illustrations at that time and no promise that all political controversy could be avoided. The paper continued in this form for about eighteen years before it was significantly changed and advertised as “A family newspaper, neutral in politics, devoted to morality, pure literature, foreign and domestic news, agriculture, the commercial interests, science, art, and amusement.” By 1855 the Saturday Evening Post had a circulation of 90,000. The owners / publishers went through struggling times financially but kept coming up with new ways to make this publication bigger, better, and more memorable. The POST, as we remember it, became a super popular magazine featuring Norman Rockwell’s beautiful Americana illustration on the covers. Once having appeared, the illustration graced the covers until nearing the end of its long publishing history. In 1947 it was estimated that each copy of the Saturday Evening Post was costing thirty cents to produce, double the cost of its cover price. Advertising revenue was therefore essential to its economic survival. That worked for a while. Rockwell had done 317 covers of POST when, in December 1963, the magazine abandoned using illustration on the cover.

The hiring of a lawyer is an important decision that should not be based solely upon advertisements. Before you decide, ask us to send you free written information about qualiﬁcations and experience.

You Name It …by Kitty Maiden From that point on, attempts continued to be unsuccessful in increasing the circulation and the advertising revenue. The publication was put to bed for the last time in February 1969. Now, what remains of this historic publication is a museum in Vermont that makes available every shape and form of Rockwell’s work—at the same time calling up memories of the days of the Saturday Evening Post. From the years 1937 to 1971, LOOK was another of the most popular magazines published in America. More often than not, the latest movie stars were featured on their covers. LOOK regularly covered serious social issues including politics. The lead time needed to compile and distribute the bi-weekly magazine, was responsible for the results of an opinion poll, in the 1964 presidential election, appearing on some newsstands three weeks after Kennedy’s November 22nd assassination. When LOOK ceased publication in 1971, its owner gave the magazine’s archive of negatives to the Library of Congress. The minute you see certain photographs, you recognize them as having appeared on the cover, as well as inside LIFE magazine. The 1945 VJ kiss was one of the most memorable photographs that ever appeared… anywhere… and it was in LIFE. All the photos—from front-line war pictures to back country beauty—were what made LIFE magazine sing with popularity. So, all that being said and done, I still have to ﬁnd the right gift. I’m captivated by Rockwell’s Four Freedoms, the barbershop illustrations, and the spring ﬂowers. Wonder if she would like a selection of these illustrations done on plates? Hmmm.

Peg and I have no rules. We like to ramble on the back roads. We mostly keep family visits separate from fun trips.

I share with you a way to avoid that panic … a travel prep list. It includes all things critical to our trips and you can customize it to your needs. I start checking off these items about 24 hours before we are set to roll out.

May 12, 2015 Peg and I left Ormond Beach today for a tour of the west. We will be gone until about July 1 and will send reports along the way. We left home about noon, drove to the west side of the state and then around the panhandle. We hit one rain/lightning storm that may be the roughest we have ever experienced. Very dangerous. Stopped for the night about 50 miles west of Tallahassee. We covered about 350 miles and averaged well over 40 MPG. I think we can get to Texas by tomorrow and Utah by Friday. We will stay in Hatch, Utah about a week or so. There are five natural parks to visit in Utah and of course lots of frames to be shot. So far, so good. George & Peggy May 16, 2015 Today we went from Wichita Fall to Tucumcari, NM. We saw a dramatic change of landscape. Just east of Tucumcari mesas began to appear on the landscape and as we drove west they appeared larger and more colorful. At about this same time we joined Historic Rte 66 toward Albuquerque, NM, except that we will veer north to Durango, Colorado. Lots of history there. I've attached a few pictures. Peggy & George

Summer Precautions t’s that time of year again in Florida—summertime, when the risk of heat exhaustion and heat stroke is at its peak. Did you know that nearly 400 people die each year in the United States from heat waves? Sadly, many of them are seniors. For each of us, our bodies work hard to maintain a normal temperature. However, for a variety of reasons, senior citizens are more vulnerable to heat exhaustion and heat stroke than our young people. Seniors generally don’t sweat as effectively as the young people, have poorer circulation and are afflicted by diseases and take medications that can make it more difficult to handle the summer heat. This isn’t just a matter of comfort. Excessive heat and dehydration can be a very dangerous—even deadly—problem for all. For all of these reasons, it’s vitally important for seniors to protect themselves from the adverse impact of heat-related conditions. Here are some guidelines from the experts on how to keep safe in hot weather:

From The Sheriff …Volusia County Sheriff Ben Johnson

• Drink plenty of fluids. Cool, nonalcoholic beverages are best. • Wear lightweight clothing. • Stay indoors during the mid-day hours and in an air-conditioned environment to stay cool. • Avoid strenuous activity, particular outdoors. • Take frequent breaks as necessary to cool down. • If you become overheated, take a cool bath or shower. • Apply sunscreen or sunblock when you are going to be exposed to direct sunlight. Enjoy yourself this summer... its’ such a fun time of the year. Like all things in life, do it in moderation and take the necessary safety precautions to protect yourself.

Yorkie House Of Hearts Needs Your Help! by Kit DeRoche—Special article to Seniors Today have owned yorkies practically all of my life. I love the breed and they remind me of potato chips… I can never have just one. When I moved to Florida about 8 years ago I finally had the opportunity to start my own Yorkie Rescue group. I began small, taking in a stray dog here and there, but over the years our Rescue really took off. Now Florida Yorkie Rescue is a designated 501©3 non-profit Rescue registered with the IRS and we are very busy! Well over 100 yorkies have been placed with our volunteer foster moms and 95 percent of them have found new loving homes. We love our success stories. When young or middle aged healthy yorkies arrive, we usually have a list of approved applicants just waiting to adopt. There is another side to the Rescue business that is absolutely without a doubt the most heartbreaking… and that is when a senior yorkie is surrendered. Sometimes they are found dumped in the streets or surrendered by their owners but more often than not, a family member has died and the surviving family has no wish to continue to provide care for the senior pet. Because the owner did not provide a Pet Trust or leave their precious pet in their Will, important provisions and decisions were not made. There are estimated to be over 500,000 pets annually that are euthanized because their owners pass away or become incapacitated. Those that are not euthanized by the surviving family members are often left at animal shelters and many of them are of senior age. Since they are well past their prime they do not make it out of these facilities alive. They are simply put asleep; frightened and confused, no doubt wondering what they did wrong to be left in such a place to begin with. Add to this the fact that some of these dogs have special needs; cataracts, diabetes, blindness, arthritis, etc. After years of loyal service, we simply feel they deserve better than this. These precious little dogs should be living their senior years with dignity and in comfort. After all, their requirements are simple; a good meal, a soft bed, and a warm lap is all they really need to be content. You will never meet or love a more grateful dog than a senior in need of rescue. The seniors we were not able to place remained with my husband and I until they passed over. I always felt sad though that I couldn’t find them all new homes where they could receive the individual attention they so deserved. I was sitting in my kitchen one day, holding yet another senior yorkie named Precious. She was a tiny little thing, her teeth were missing, her little tongue was hanging out and she had cataracts. I spoke to her softly and hugged her; she licked my hand and then my face. My heart warmed and I loved her immediately. I knew she was

grateful for my care. Her tummy was full and she was happy. Another little yorkie had been saved. Senior dogs were arriving at an alarming pace and it was only getting worse. All Rescue Groups deal with the same sad, heartbreaking issue; do we take the young healthy ones or the older seniors that are so difficult to find new homes for? The seniors can end up becoming “permanent fosters” which then precludes us from having available space to save the young ones. All rescue groups wrestle with this same issue year in and year out. There is a large population of human seniors living in Florida today; some of them do not have families and they worry about their dogs. What will become of their pet if they themselves become incapacitated or worse? I think it is a serious worry for many of us. What will happen to my dog? Will it end up at the Humane Society? Who will adopt my precious one? Will my pet be put to sleep? There had to be a way to help, but how? One day during a meeting with our Board Members the idea of creating a Yorkie House was born. How wonderful would it be to build a sanctuary for senior yorkies that find themselves homeless? We could take senior yorkies that are left at animal facilities. We could take yorkies whose owners set up a Pet Trust, insuring their pets will receive love and medical care for the remainder of their lives. Our plans are to either find an existing building or buy property and build a sanctuary in Palm City, Floirda. Our sanctuary will be called Yorkie House Of Hearts. We know this is a huge project and we have a tremendous amount of work ahead of us. We also have a deep faith that all the work we have done in Rescue has brought us to this moment and that Yorkie House Of Hearts must be built. We are currently looking for corporate sponsors and individual donors. If you are a ‘furry friend’ lover and are able to donate, please consider helping us make our dream come true. Remember... every dollar counts! Our fur babies will be forever grateful! “Seniors Today” has committed to become a sponsor for Yorkie House Of Hearts!All donations are tax deductible. Checks can be made out to Yorkie House, Inc.” You can also visit the website at www.yorkiehouse. org to see their videos, our Paypal link, and additional information.

May 22, 2015—Seniors Today—Page A-9 PACE—Helping Seniors With Their Questions Special to Seniors Today

eniors Today is excited to have been asked to partner with a new group to help seniors in our community. It’s called PACE–Professionals Advocating for Community Education. In the last issue of Seniors Today we introduced the PACE panel to you and each of their areas of expertise. PACE is a panel consisting of a group of senior healthcare professionals who want to inform the community on everything there is to know about the healthcare process and senior issues. PACE was conceived several months of ago when several professionals involved in senior services met to discuss the idea of how great it would be if seniors had a place to go to have all their questions answered FREE of charge. Since all members of the panel are actively involved in senior services they realized what a great need there was in our community. Each day our panel encounter seniors with questions who are not sure where to go for their answers. Our seniors become frustrated with try-

ing to find resources for their answers. Maybe you have experienced the same thing. You make a call to get information only to be passed on from person to person on the phone, or told to call another place... never finding the answers they need for their questions or worse yet, given the wrong information. Our first PACE panel met in April. There was quite a variety of questions. The panel enjoyed being able to answer so many questions in just one meeting! There is nothing offered for sale at our meetings and no one will call you after the meeting to try to sell you anything! Our friendly, informal meetings are strictly to benefit our seniors in the community. We also offer a FREE lunch to everyone after our meeting. So bring all your friends and questions and join us at our next meeting! The PACE panel meets on the 3rd Thursday every other month. Our next meeting is Thursday, June 18 at Orange City Nursing & Rehab, 2810 Enterprise Rd., DeBary, 32713. Please RSVP to 386.775.3561.

Antiques Board Games by Larry Cox

Q: I buy occasional board games and puzzles when I find good ones at flea markets or garage sales. I currently have almost 50, including Pollyanna, Bomb The Navy, Car 54, Get Smart, and a 1930s edition of Monopoly. How can I find out if any of my games are worth keeping? —Steve, Dayton, Ohio A: Your Car 54 game, issued in 1951, currently is worth about $300, up at least tenfold from just a decade ago. There are several factors to consider when purchasing older board games. Make certain the game is complete and in good condition. Games that were issued to promote hit TV series are always popular with collectors. Consider The Beverly Hillbillies, The Man From UNCLE, Lost In Space, and The Waltons, retailing in the $25-$50 range. Bruce Whitehill is one of the foremost authorities in this field of collecting. His book, Games: American Board Games And Their Makers 18221992 is considered one of the better references. There is a charge for apprais-

als. Contact is Big Game Hunter, 11 South Angell Street, No. 116, Providence, RI 02906; games@thebiggamehunter.com and www.thebiggamehunter.com *** Q: In 1971, my wife and I purchased some items from the RMS Queen Mary. They include a ship's clock plaque, telescope, and survival kit whistle. All have certificates of authenticity. I would like to know current values. —George, Sun City West, Arizona A: The items you purchased at the gift shop of the Queen Mary might not be worth much more than what you originally paid. To determine present values, you could monitor eBay to see if similar items are being offered for sale, or contact an expert.

Chicken Soup For The Soul A Mother’s Guidance slid my hands across the cardboard carton, savoring the sensation of the shallow paper ripples under my fingers. Although I was anxious to view the contents, I wanted this moment of delicious anticipation to last. My mother's face filled my mind as I considered how proud she would be if she could have been here. The box held my first solo book, a novel dedicated to the woman who always believed I would succeed as a writer one day: my mother. Mama handed me my first library card with great ceremony. “This card makes you rich,” she said. “With this card, you can go anywhere, see anything, and learn about anything. You can be whatever you want to be.” She was so right. As I traveled the world through my library card, I began to write my own stories and poems. When the time came to write a dreaded paper in school, I celebrated, because writing was fun to me. Mama always encouraged my reading and writing, even when she had to fuss at me for burning a pot while I was distracted or losing track of time and not being ready for whatever I was supposed to be ready to do. “When are you going to write a book?” she asked, and repeated the question over the years.

My work appeared in a lot of places, but not in books for a long time. In 2012, a short essay I wrote was accepted in an anthology book. I was able to show Mama my name in an honest-to-goodness book. I wasn't alone in it, and my name wasn't on the spine, but I was in a book. In 2013, her health deteriorated, and I lost her. The pain of that loss inspired a poem that found a place in yet another anthology. I could still hear her asking about a book. In early 2014, a year after I said goodbye to my mother's physical presence, my first solo book was published. When I opened the box, I spent another moment looking at the array of books before I lifted one from its nest. There on the cover, my name appeared, as it did on the spine. I opened the book to the dedication page for the biggest unveiling of the day. “Dedicated to the memory of my loving mother, Mary Catherine.” Thanks to my mother's never-ending encouragement, I have a book on the shelf with my name on the spine and her name on the dedication page. Thanks for believing in me and my dream, Mama. We made it.

Tails From The Front ummer is right around the corner, and many of us will be spending more time outdoors with our pets. It is great to allow pets some time outside enjoying the fresh air, but there are precautions that should be taken. The summer months present a few unique hazards to our pets that can be avoided with preparation. Just like humans, pets are prone to sunburn, especially with the direct exposure to sunlight here in Florida. Pets with shorter or thinner hair are at a higher risk than those with a thick, long coat. Sunscreen can be used for pets that spend extended periods outdoors, but be careful to choose a prod-

uct that is safe for your pet. Pets will often lick sunscreen off their fur, and some sunscreens can be toxic in large amounts. When in doubt, check with your veterinarian to ﬁnd a product that is safe and effective for your pet. In some areas, pets can play on the beach and in the ocean. While your dog is enjoying the beach, keep an eye on him to make sure he is not ingesting salt water. Dogs do not realize the danger of drinking salt water, but it can cause hypernatremia (salt poisoning). Keep a source of fresh water with you during any beach visits. Offer them fresh water frequently to help discourage your pup from drinking ocean water.

Fleas and ticks can be a year-round problem for Florida pets, but they are especially pesky in the warm, humid summer months. A wide variety of products are available to protect your pet from these pests, including pills, spot treatments, sprays, and collars, just to name a few. Always consult with a veterinarian to determine which product(s) will work best for your pet. Some pets can be sensitive to these medications. When used incorrectly, the products can cause severe reactions in certain animals. While many pet owners enjoy taking their best friend along for a ride, pets should never be left in a car, especially in the summer heat. On a 90-degree day, the interior

temperature of a car can reach 160 degrees in less than 10 minutes. Even with all of the windows cracked, temperatures increase rapidly and create an extremely dangerous environment for pets. Animals can suffer brain damage or heat stroke in a matter of minutes when left in a hot car. Only take your pet with you on a car trip if you know they will be able to come along wherever you go. Otherwise, they should stay safely at home.

Page B-2—Seniors Today—May 22, 2015 County Air Show Reunites Cold War Survivor With Life-Saving Plane Special to Seniors Today t had been 65 years since Gundula Slack saw an airplane like the one that saved her life. After coming across an advertisement for Wings Over Flagler Rockin’ the Runways at the Flagler County Airport, Slack, 78, was elated to learn that a Douglas C-54E transport aircraft would be in Palm Coast for the air show. “Of course we were there all through the war and at the very end after the war we had no food at all,” said Slack, a Palm Coast resident of 18 years. “When I was 12 we would go through stores that had been bombed during the war and left open and we would scramble over rubble to see if there was anything for us to eat until the Americans started bringing over whatever they could give out. Sometimes we would just get flour, sometimes salt or something different, but whatever we got was enough to sustain us.” Although Slack received dry food and coal dropped from American planes, she never caught a candy bomb, which were sweets attached to parachutes that pilots threw out the window for children. After hearing her story, Tim Chopp, German Order of Merit Foundation President and current pilot of the Spirit of Freedom, had Slack stand near the airplane’s window and he dropped a candy bomb down to her.

There were over 40 other aircrafts on display during the annual Wings Over Flagler air show and spectators had the opportunity to fly in a planes, such as the B-17 Flying Fortress World War II bomber. “Nearly 10,000 spectators attended the show from March 27 to 29. “The event raised $10,000 for college scholarships for local students. Wings Over Flagler is also dedicated to raising aviation awareness, educating and inspiring our next generation of aviators, and preserving aviation history.” Slack helped to preserve that history by sharing her story with children and other people passing by the Spirit of Freedom, which was converted into a flying museum in 1992. “People do not have a concept of history really and of course it’s been so long and people’s memories are so short I think it’s good to have a reminder once in a while to enjoy life,” Slack said while softly sobbing. “We have to bless this country for what we have because we still have the greatest county in the world and we have to make the most of each and every day—like going to the air show, where I finally got my candy bomb.”

Senior Service Line Living To Be 100 by Matilda Charles

alifornia, Costa Rica, Greece, Italy, and Japan all have something in common. They all have a city with large numbers of people who reach age 100. Only 25 percent of our longevity comes from DNA, says National Geographic author Dan Buettner in his book Blue Zones. The rest comes from our environment and our lifestyle. With research teams, Buettner has traveled the world to discover some secrets to longevity. There's no one magic bullet from all of these locations, but lifestyle, spirituality, and community combine with a few habits these centenarians follow. Moderate activity, semi-vegetarian diet, a clear purpose, and staying socially engaged are common traits among the people who routinely live to be 100. In 2009, AARP joined with the Blue Zones project to add years to the lives of people in Albert Lea, Minnesota. The end result: The life expectancy of the

nearly 800 participants rose, simply by making a few changes in their lifestyle and diet. Check aarp.org for more information about the AARP/ Blue Zones Vitality Project. Search for The Minnesota Miracle or Creating America's Healthiest Hometown. Buettner's books are worth reading. Blue Zones (subtitled 9 Lessons For Living Longer) also is available on Amazon.com or BlueZones.com Be sure to look for the updated second edition released in 2012. A new addition is The Blue Zones Solution, which includes information on diets (and the science behind them), recipes, superfoods, community, family, and the routines and personal stories of those in Buettner's research. No matter how old we are, it's never too late to be inspired to reach maximum health. So start now and learn how to live a longer, healthier life... maybe you will live to be 100!

Here’s An Idea Fun Children’s Project by JoAnn Derson

Quinoa is becoming really popular as a grain alternative. It's very small and requires rinsing before cooking to remove potentially bitter residue. Here's a great trick to rinse your quinoa without losing half of it to the holes in your colander: Use a French press coffeemaker. The fine mesh and pouring spout make rinsing a breeze. – JoAnn To halve a lot of cherry tomatoes, try sandwiching them between two plastic lids. Press down lightly and slice through the opening to make short work of them. Keep your crisper drawer clean by lining with fresh newspaper. It will absorb smells and liquid, and can be easily replaced. “Candle nubs, that little bit left when the candle has burned down all the way, can be removed from a candleholder by setting the whole thing in the freezer for 10-15 minutes. The wax surface hardens and shrinks, making it easier to chip

out. The same goes for linens that have wax drips: freeze and chip away, then use a degreasing spot cleaner.” —Y.G. in Arkansas Easily thread a needle with hairspray. Spritz the end of the thread with a little high-hold hairspray and pull taut. It will be much easier to thread. Fun get-together project for kids: Have everyone doodle on a large posterboard. At the end of the night, trace a puzzle pattern and cut it up, making a large floor puzzle. You can bring it out at the next play date. The smaller the children, the larger the pieces! —A.L. in Florida

What’s In The Stars

Great Doctors…

For The Week Of May 25 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You are usually excited about taking on a new challenge. If that's doubt you're feeling, maybe it's you telling yourself to go slow on this until you learn more. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Accepting new commitments when you haven't yet finished the batch on hand could be a bit rash. Better to ease up on the new ones until you get further along. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Reward yourself for what's sure to be a dynamic week with a getaway to someplace wonderful, hopefully with a wonderful someone. You'll return refreshed. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Some people might be anxious about your plans. Take time to explain what you expect to do and how you expect do it. Don't forget to ask for suggestions . LEO (July 23 to August 22) Dealing with an unfamiliar problem can be difficult. The wisest course you can take is to ask for advice from those who have been where you are. Good luck. VIRGO (August 23 to Sept. 22) Tackle a job problem by considering possibilities you might have ignored before. This reassures colleagues you're serious about finding a solution.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your balanced approach proves to be helpful this week when someone you care for needs your spiritual comfort, while someone else benefits from your practicality. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Once again, you're likely to be asked to keep a secret for someone. Be honest with yourself and with your needs before you make any such commitment. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Taking a more direct approach from the more diplomatic one you've used before could make a difference in finally resolving a too-long-held disagreement. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Being asked for advice is flattering to the Sea Goat, who has a habit of saying the right thing. This time, expect someone to be especially impressed. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) With a number of pressures easing, your project could be making a lot more progress than you expected by this time. Don't let yourself be distracted; stay with it. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) An interesting challenge looms that could be exactly what you've been looking for. Discuss this with colleagues who could have much to contribute.
